-91 Chapter 25: Bai Jing Ting (1/2)
The next day, Yi Fei took a day off from school because her knee was still very painful. She was resting in her room when she received a chat message from Bai Jing Ting in WeChat. Bai Jing Ting asked her about her knee injury.
Yi Fei told him not to worry and that her injury was not that bad. Bai Jing Ting was one of her close friends in school so she did not want him to worry much.
Bai Jing Ting was sitting alone in his office. He felt that his day in school was boring when Yi Fei was not around. Usually, he would open the window to his office who was the opposite of the staffroom just to catch a glimpse of her but today, he didn't; because she was not around and he felt lonely.
Bai Jing Ting came to City L five years ago. He did not want to stay inside the office every day because he wanted to have the sense of freedom in doing what he liked. He knew that sooner or later, he had to take over the family business but for the time being, his parents let him do whatever he wanted.
Bai Jing Ting thought that being a physician at a middle school was fun compared to being a doctor in the hospital. His life was pretty normal and fun until Yi Fei came. His life got more interesting each day with Yi Fei around him.
Back in City K, Bai Jing Ting always attended some formal dinners because his mother insisted that he came together with them. Formal dinner usually became a matchmaking event for him.
His mother had been urging him to get married since he was 23 years old. He went to meet some of the ladies from the rich household to satisfy his mother's heart. All the ladies that he usually met were elegant and reserved. Bai Jing Ting found them boring and dull. His mother asked him to choose one that he liked and to get engaged right after. That was one of the reasons why Bai Jing Ting chose to work in City L.
When his work hours ended, Bai Jing Ting drove to Yi Fei's apartment. NaNa was with him because since Yi Fei was not around, NaNa had to call a taxi to go to work. So he took the opportunity to see Yi Fei by volunteering to send NaNa back to their apartment.
”Thank you for sending me, Brother Ting. Yi Fei's knee was not heavily injured. She just fell lightly and hit her knee. Don't worry. My Brother Chen had given her some anti-inflammatory medication and some painkillers. It should be alright by now” NaNa attempted to prevent Bai Jing Ting to see Yi Fei but to no avail, Bai Jing Ting insisted to see her.
When Bai Jing Ting entered their apartment, a very happy laugh could be heard from one of the two rooms in the house. NaNa knocked on the door with the wanted poster of Monkey D Luffy on it. After a few knocked, the door open to reveal a messy hair girl wearing a baggy s.h.i.+rt with EXO printed on it.
NaNa whispered to that girl and she limped hurriedly to where Bai Jing Ting was. Bai Jing Ting was relieved to see that Yi Fei was not hurt anywhere else besides the knee.
”Brother Ting, why are you here? Are you lonely?” Yi Fei asked jokingly when she was standing in front of Bai Jing Ting. She asked him to sit down then she combed her hair with her slender fingers to tame her messy hair.
Bai Jing Ting smiled before saying yes and he senselessly patted on the cowlick hair on top of Yi Fei's head. Yi Fei froze because she did not expect this gesture from Bai Jing Ting. Bai Jing Ting was aware of the situation so he coughed once before asking Yi Fei to show him her knee so that he could examine it.
Bai Jing Ting felt his heart ached when he saw the bluish-purplish b.u.mp of Yi Fei's knee. He bandaged the joint with an elastic bandage to keep down the swelling. Then he left some medicine for her as well.
