Chapter 810 - Just Her Mont
Dr. Ling looked at the complicated expression of Xiu and reassured her, "You don't have to worry so much. He is really fine."
Xiu smiled at her in reply and nodded her head.
"Now, you should go back to rest," said Dr. Ling. "Even Xiao Li is waiting for you inside."
"Li bro is inside?" asked Xiu with furrowed brows and Dr. Ling nodded in reply. Xiu squinted her eyes at Dr. Ling before questioning, "Are you personally familiar with Li bro? The way you say his na has so familiarity to it."
Dr. Ling was surprised to hear that. "Is it okay for you to notice such a small detail?"
"When you've been cautious for too long, it becos a habit," replied Xiu.
Dr. Ling stared at Xiu's smiling face and told her, "Well, I do know your Li bro personally."
"Oh? How?"
"We had a mutual friend since kindergarten," answered Dr. Ling.
Xiu thought about it before her eyes widened, "You're Ying Jie's friend?"
Dr. Ling gave her a surprised look, "You even got that? Wow! You're indeed smart."
"Nah. I'm pretty dumb," said Xiu. "But I have my monts."
Dr. Ling laughed out because of what she said and how she said it so boldly and feeling proud of herself. Dr. Ling laughed so much that she even fell on her butt.
"Are you alright?" Xiu asked when she saw her falling back. She was crouching beside her one mont and the next, she fell back from her uncontrollable laughter.
Dr. Ling wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said, "I'm fine. I just..." Before she could say anything, her eyes caught sight of soone and she forgot what she was about to say.
Xiu looked at her face before she turned her head and saw Xin Zin coming over. Xiu's eyes moved back to Dr. Ling and she pressed her lips together.
"Little lass, what are you doing here?" asked Xin Zin as soon as he ca near Xiu.
"I'm just having a chat with the doctor," replied Xiu.
Only now Xin Zin's eyes moved towards Dr. Ling who was still sitting on the floor. Xiu also looked at Dr. Ling. She noticed how earlier Dr. Ling's eyes were stuck on Xin Zin's face but now that he was looking at her straight, she apparently didn't know where to look.
"Why is she on the floor?" asked Xin Zin.
"Don't look at like that," warned Xiu when she noticed how he looked at her. "I definitely didn't do anything. She fell on her own."
Xin Zin's eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Ah-Xin, are you doubting my words?" She controlled her expressions and blinked at him, "Look at my face. Doesn't it look like the epito of sincerity right now?"
Xin Zin crossed his arms over his chest, "You're a pretty good actress. It's hard to say whether that sincerity is real or fake."
Xiu gaped at him in disbelief. "How can you doubt ?"
Dr. Ling finally got off the floor and said, "Actually, I did fall on my own. It has nothing to do with her."
"See?" Xiu pointed at her.
"Maybe she is lying," said Xin Zin.
"And why would she lie for my sake?" retorted Xiu.
"Maybe because you threatened her and she is scared of you?"
Xiu snorted at that, "Who can possibly be scared of a cute and harmless person like ?"
Xin Zin bent at his waist as he placed his hand on her head and said, "The cute and harmless person recently sent soone to the hospital."
Xiu cleared her throat, "That wasn't ."
"Oh?"
"That really wasn't ," argued Xiu. "Let tell you a secret... A wandering and vengeful ghost possessed . Trust , I'm very harmless."
Xin Zin rubbed her head and smiled at her, "As if I'd fall for that ghost story of yours." He took a pause and added, "This story is just like the one when you said you're an actress in your past life. Both are lies."
Xiu looked aggrieved. At least one of those was the truth. She was an actress in her past life! Why won't you believe it?! She shook her head to herself. It was actually good if he didn't believe her. What was the point in learning about her past? It all seed rather funny to her now!
Xin Zin turned to Dr. Ling who had been looking at their interaction with a stunned look. She had known Xin Zin since she was a kid. But it had to be the very first ti she had actually seen him smiling so casually. That serious look of his that she was used to was suddenly shaken. His whole person seed so different with just a simple smile.
She was so lost in her own world of admiring his looks that she didn't notice when he called her. Xiu chuckled to herself seeing this and pinched Dr. Ling's hand.
"Ah!" Dr. Ling looked down at her hand that was pinched while Xiu grinned at her.
"Ah Xin is calling you," said Xiu.
Dr. Ling looked fl.u.s.tered as she said, "Oh, I'm so sorry." She bowed to apologize sincerely. "I zoned out for a while."
"I don't bla you," Xiu voiced out and Dr. Ling looked at her. Xiu beckoned her down and when Dr. Ling leaned down, she whispered, "With such a handso man before your eyes, it'd be wrong not to daydream, no?"
Dr. Ling's eyes went round while Xiu continued to grin at her in amus.e.m.e.nt. She found Dr. Ling's reaction very amusing. She had interacted with Dr. Ling for the past couple of days and she had seen how serious she'd seem whenever she was focused on her work but currently, before Xin Zin, she seed like a whole different person.
"I hope my little lass didn't bother you," said Xin Zin.
Dr. Ling waved her hands imdiately, "No, not at all. She is very cute. I wanted to talk to her myself."
Xin Zin rubbed Xiu's head lovingly as he agreed, "Yes, she is indeed very cute." Xiu gladly let him do it and even leaned into his touch. "And I would like it if you take care of her in the future."
"She isn't my doctor," Xiu pointed out.
"You don't need to worry about that," said Xin Zin to Xiu.
"It's about , why am I not allowed to worry about it?"
"Because your health is our priority, your priority is clearly your husband's health."
Xiu coughed softly, "Isn't that how it should be?"
"No," retorted Xin Zin. "Only if you get better can you help Regan."
Xiu pouted, "I'm trying my best."
"What's up with that look?"
"Since the ti I woke everyone is telling to concentrate on getting better. It's not like I don't want to. But why are you all rushing so much? I need my ti as well."
Before Xin Zin could say anything, Dr. Ling spoke up, "I think she is right." Xin Zin looked at her and she went on, "You all should let her take her ti. If you continued to repeat the sa thing, it might do more harm than good."
Xin Zin contemplated her words and looked back at Xiu, "I'm not trying to rush you. It's just that I really miss seeing you jump around. Obviously, I want to see you get back on your feet again but I'll try to be more patient about it."
"You think I don't miss it?" retorted Xiu. "It's only been a few days and I'm already missing the ti when sleeping all day was a choice and not an obligation."
Xin Zin pressed his lips before saying, "Why is it still about sleep?"
"It's not just about sleep. The food is too bland and too nutritious," added Xiu. "I've never even been a health-conscious person. It suddenly reminds of the days I had to go through dieting."
Xin Zin rolled his eyes at her, "Indeed. Your mind is filled with either eating or sleeping. And whatever space is left, you've already given it to your husband. There really is nothing else, is there?"
"Apart from these three things, my life has no aning," said Xiu in a dramatic tone. "Now, I'm missing all three. I can't sleep how I want. I can't eat how I want. I can't even be with my husband how I want. See? How miserable my life is right now?"
"Little lass, you're really..." Xin Zin didn't know what to say. Was there even a point in saying anything to her?
"Let give you the word you're looking for, it's crazy!"
Xin Zin pointed at her as he looked at Dr. Ling, "Do you think she is on drugs right now?"
Dr. Ling shook her head in reply, "I don't think so."
"Ah-Xin, that's the real . Did you forget so soon?"
While Xiu was starting at Xin Zin, she heard an unfamiliar voice call out, "And here I was wondering who is the one calling you Ah-Xin again."
