20 1St Appointment I : Evil Eye (1/2)
”GIRLFRIEND!!!”
Fei Shuang who was sleeping peacefully woke up frightened because of the sudden shouting. She slowly looked at ZhenZhu who's the one screaming out her longs looking furious as she entered the room.
”Why are you shouting Bestie? I didn't take any alcohol yesterday,don't tell me someone's here to see me again...” Fei Shuang asked as she rubbed her eyesight. She's still sleepy yet her best friend shouted her lungs out. ”I just want to sleep more. Is it too much to ask?” Fei Shuang asked again as a slight yawn escaped from her mouth.
”Oh G.o.d, Fei shuang! This is the third time i entered this room. Don't you know that it's already 7:30 AM and you're still in bed! Your first therapy appointment starts today by 8 remember? I told you not to stay late watching films on viki. Now look,you have dark circles below your eyes after all the beauty routine at the salon.” Fei Shuang couldn't help but sigh on ZhenZhu's endless nagging about her therapy appointment. She's been talking all yesterday about it which made her sick.
”Now get up let me clean you up.”
Fei Shuang groaned as she drowsily sat down on the bed while scratching her messy bed-hair. It was looking stylish and beautiful just yesterday,but looking at it right now, it has transformed into something else. She looked like a lazy cat who just woke up from a very long sleep.
*yawn*
She couldn't help but stretch her body as she tried to fight back the sleepiness. Before she could utter a word, ZhenZhu gently pick her up,heads to the bathroom and placed her inside the bathtub,hands her a toothbrush with a toothpaste on in and left her alone,closing the door behind her. ”Take a bath now, girlfriend. Call me when you're done so that i can get you dressed. You're gonna be late for your appointment and I'll be late for work too!”
Fei Shuang kept scowling while brus.h.i.+ng her teeth.
'I really don't want to go to my therapy appointment because of that cold stone. I get uncomfortable when people start asking me about my past.'
”Uhh.. as if i have a choice.” She huffed to herself as she get undress.
”Do you need any help? I forgot to get you undressed.”
”No,I've done it myself. Don't worry,I'm almost through!” Fei Shuang shouted inside the bathroom.
”Alright,hurry up. I'll be in the kitchen. Just shoutout my name when you're done.” She heard ZhenZhu once more before she heard her fading footsteps out of her room. She sighed in defeat and took a quick bath.

Fei Shuang cowered as ZhenZhu got her out of her car to the general hospital. Her heart was beating really fast as if she was being chased by an angry dog.
*ba_dump*
*ba_dump*
*ba_dump*
She inhaled a couple of times to calm her heart. As she sat on her powered wheelchair holding Angel on her lap, she took one glimpse at the hospital and looked back at ZhenZhu.
”Girlfriend,” she called her. ”I don't think i'm ready for this.” She bit her lips.
”Of course you're. Don't be nervous,i know you're ready.” ZhenZhu encouraged her. ”Shall we?”
Although she was panicking inside wanting for ZhenZhu to go in with her, she still tried to stay calm, fearing ZhenZhu would be late for work and be scolded by her boss.
”Wait,are you not late for work? Don't worry, you leave first. I can find myself to Doctor Xiao's office.” Fei Shuang said looking worried.
”Wouldn't it be mean for me to let you go all by yourself? You're my best friend,I can't just leave you like this looking nervous. I'll take you in,then set off for work. Don't worry too much, i will explain everything to my boss when i get there.” ZhenZhu spoke as she revealed a childlike smile.
”Alright,your choices are never wrong.” Fei Shuang maneuvered her powered wheelchair to the entrance of the hospital.
The hospital gave off it's usual displeasing smell. Fei Shuang entered the hospital, escorted by ZhenZhu, who held Angel in her hands because Fei Shuang doesn't like it when she uses a handle to attach to his collar.
After finding Doctor Xiao's office which was right after the waiting room, they both entered after knocking at the door. ZhenZhu held her head high as she entered.
Doctor Xiao was sitting in his own office wearing casual i.e a white short-sleeved collared s.h.i.+rt and blue jeans with tennis shoes, with a white coat. He had his usual appearance, a square jawline and an oval-shaped face with dark brown hair. His dark brown almond-shaped eyes shone underneath his gla.s.ses over a hook nose. He was tall and average weight.
Seeing Fei Shuang approaching with ZhenZhu while sitting on her powered wheelchair, Doctor Xiao smiled, ”Miss Lee, Miss Shao, welcome. How are you feeling?” He glanced at ZhenZhu, who was wearing black flannel trousers and a hazel brown smart jacket with an open necked t-s.h.i.+rt accompanied by sensible brown heels, continued. ”Have a sit Miss Shao.”
ZhenZhu did not respond as she closed the door with a mischievous smile on her face.
She glared at him as she gently flipped her wavy black hair before sitting with Angel. She was still mad at him for calling her Miss Arrogance. He didn't mind and faced Fei Shuang.
”I'm feeling alright Doctor Xiao,all thanks to your hardwork.” Fei Shuang answered with a beam of smile on her face.
Doctor Xiao nodded his head with satisfied feeling as he dropped the file he was reading. He was about to speak when he got interrupted by ZhenZhu.
”Yuk.. why do you always do that Angel?” ZhenZhu handed him to Fei Shuang when he licked her hand.
Hearing ZhenZhu's words, Doctor Xiao knitted his eyebrows in displeasure and spoke.
”That's because dogs like the taste of their owner's salty skin and out of habit ma'am. Mostly with domestic dogs,it's a sign of affection.” He glanced over with cold eyes at ZhenZhu before he continued, ”Licking releases pleasurable endorphins which gives dogs a feeling of comfort and pleasure— like the feeling people get when they are biting their nails,it relieves stress.” He spoke in a deep voice.
