CHAPTER 147
"What are you doing? Please put me down. I..I can walk on my own. You do not have to carry me," she protested.
Ye Chaoxiang ignored her protest and turned back towards the direction of the pharmacy store. Ning Xiaozhi felt embarrassed. Why can't he just listen to her.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked curiously.
"To a pharmacy store I saw on my way here. It is not that far just two minutes from here," he answered.
"What? A pharmacy store. Please put me down. People will see us," her eyes widened.
"So what of they see us? You hurt your leg so it is only normal for me to carry you. Besides, not many people care if they see a guy carrying a lady."
Soon they neared the pharmacy store. Although not many people looked at them as he had said earlier, but they still got stares and it was embarrassing. She hid her face in his neck to hide her red face.
Ye Chaoxiang chuckled at her actions. Girls are way too shy. He was supposed to hate it but surprisingly, he did not when she was being shy. To be honest, it kind of made him want to see her shy face.
Soon enough, they reached the pharmacy store. Ye Chaoxiang placed her gently on the bench beside the store.
"Wait here for a little while. I will be back shortly," he said before he disappeared I to the pharmacy store. She sighed and patted her chest to pacify her beating heart. Then later she, fanned her face.
"Oh my gosh! He is so hot," she mumbled. She examined her sprained ankle and cursed those men.
If not for them her ankle would have not being in bad shape as it is now. But if not for them, she would have not being with her hot and handsome doctor. She was also thankful for his timely arrival. She shivered at the thought of what would have happened to her if he had not shown up and stopped them.
Just as she was lost in thoughts, Ye Chaoxiang came out from the pharmacy store and sat facing her. He placed the things he bought from the store between them and took out an ice pack and an ointment.
"Did you wait for long?" He asked to gain her attention from whatever she was thinking about.
"No, I did not," she answered and turned to look at the things he brought.
Ye Chaoxiang lifted her chin so that they were now facing each other. He tucked away her hair that covered her red cheek behind her ear.
"This will help it cool down a little before I rub the ointment," he said before he gently placed the ice pack on her left slapped cheek. Ning Xiaozhi retracted her face from the contrast of her cheek and the ice pack.
"Please bear with it and stay still," he said softly before he placed it back on her cheek.
"Ouch. It is so cold and... comforting," she said.
"That is what it a supposed to do," he said and waited for sometime before he removed it.
"No don't remove it," she whined.
"Tsk. Stop being a baby. I have to apply the ointment," he chided her.
"Stop being a mean doctor," she retorted with a side pout.
Ye Chaoxiang just shook his head at her. She reminded him of his little princess at home. She would always give him a hard time if he was treating any injury she got from her rough play. He took his handkerchief from his pocket and dabbed gently on the spot to wipe off the moistness from the ice pack. Then he rubbed the ointment on her cheek. He was slow, gentle and very close to her. She could feel his breath on her and perceive his cologne. It was fresh and nerve calming.
Then their eyes met and locked. Ye Chaoxiang's fingers that were massaging the ointment into her cheek stop. It seemed as if time had stop for the both of them. He was mesmerized by her... everything. Her eyes, her brows, her long lashes, her nose and her lips. Oh her lips. They looked kissable. His lips felt dry so he wet them with his tongue.
Gosh. Just her face alone made his throat dry. His eyes wondered its way back up to her eyes. Then she blinked. It was as if a butterfly flapped it's wings. So pretty and attractive. His mind were already dropping fantasies. But before anything could happen and he ends up disgracing himself and look like a pervert, he quickly looked away from those bewitching eyes and moved backwards.
He cleared his throat and started packing back the ointment. He was scolding and reprimanding himself. Why was he behaving strangely with a woman he was just meeting for the third time?
Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi's gave was red from what just happened. Did they just stare at each other for more than ten seconds? She was keeping count before but she lost it. How could she not? This guy is totally gorgeous. This guy is totally gorgeous. And the way he licked his lips. It was goddamn sexy.
She could not believe that she was almost seduced. And did she see the way he looked at her. Especially her lips or was she just imagining things. It was as if he wanted to...kiss her.
Ning Xiaozhi felt disappointed within herself. She thought that she would experience a sparking kiss with a hot and handsome guy that she seemed to have a huge crush on. She could only push that feeling out of her head. His actions right now looked cute.
He is trying to act normal and keeps himself distracted with the bag he brought from the pharmacy store. So he can also be cute? Looks like he is the full package. It would be nice if she had a boyfriend like him.
'Gasp. What if he likes me already?' A thought popped up in her mind.
