Chapter 752 - The Curse (27) (2/2)

' If we were not fighting I would have pounced on him already.' she sighed heavily, staring at him dreamily.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she didn't realize when they got out of the water and approached them.

Liwei looked at Xie Ming and shook his head disappointingly, ” We didn't find anything. I don't think it's here.” he said while wiping his body with a towel that Xie Ming passed her.

Ji Cheng was looking at Zhao Ming in confusion as she didn't pass him the towel that she was holding onto and was staring at nowhere, grinning.

” Zhao Ming.” He called out.

” ZHAO MING.” He shook her shoulders to wake her up from her daze.

” Huh?” She was startled when she heard his voice and found him standing closer to her, with his perfect muscular body which was dripping wet. She gulped seeing his hard rock abs in front of her vision.

” Towel.” Ji Cheng reminded her. She controlled herself from touching his abs and passed him the towel hesitatingly.

Ji Cheng saw her flushed expressions and raised his brows as he understood the meaning of her flushed expressions. Her cheeks were cherry-tomato red, just like how she looks when she sees his n.a.k.e.d body. However, seeing her reacting like this at this moment, he was amazed.

Her thinking process amazes him every time.

They returned to the Jin Villa empty-handed as they failed to find the hairpin in the hot spring. By the time they reached the villa, it was already 9 at night. They have to find the hairpin by tomorrow at any cost as tomorrow is the full moon night but they don't know how to.

At the dining table, the mood was somber and discouraging. Everyone was thinking about the hairpin when Liwei interrupted the silence, ” I have asked Bai Ju to search for the hairpin again. If he finds anything, he will inform me. But….I don't think we have any hope. We searched there the whole day and still failed to find anything.”

Xie Ming sighed and thought of his words. They have no idea where else they can find the hairpin. ” If we don't find the hairpin, we can try to burn the one that I have in the closet. Maybe it will work,” she suggested at which Liwei nodded.

”Something is better than nothing,” Liwei commented.

” Zhao Ming, what do you think abou-

”Zhao Ming, what happened? Why aren't you eating anything? You haven't even touched your food.” Xie Ming was surprised to see that Zhao Ming who was sitting beside her hadn't even touched her food. The food was of her liking and she usually eats two bowls of noodles made by her yet she didn't even taste them.

Ji Cheng looked up at Zhao Ming upon hearing Xie Ming's worried tone. He frowned when he realized that something was off about her. Her complexion was pale and sickly.

” Zhao Ming, do you feel sick? Did you catch a cold?” He asked worriedly. She was even shivering and was rubbing her arms when they were at the hotel. She didn't step into the water even once and was looking tired all the time.

” I don't know. Maybe I have a mild fever. I feel weak and tired all the time. Maybe because we were out all day long.” she said nonchalantly.
