Chapter 453: 451

"Brother Shangguan, I want a drink." Xiao'er's throat was dry, so she spoke up, only to find that her voice sounded like a duck's squawk, terribly hoarse.

Then she thought about the fact that she hadn't spoken for several months. Could she possibly have bad breath?

With that thought, she decisively shut her mouth and stopped speaking.

"Okay, okay." Even though Xiao'er's voice was not as crisp as before, Shangguan Xuanyi found it to be like a heavenly melody. He didn't notice Xiao'er's aberration, just kept nodding his head.

"Girl, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Xiao'er, not daring to open her mouth, just shook her head.

Shangguan Xuanyi, whose face was still flushed, felt relieved to know that she wasn't feeling unwell. He didn't dare to look at Xiao'er, a little afraid she might ask what he had been doing earlier. "I'm going to fetch water!" Then, quickly rising, he walked out.
