Chapter 27 - 27. Control.... (2/2)
He saw the time only to see that it was already 09:30, he hurriedly took a cold bath to remain awake and waited for her.
One thing led to another, he hated how she didn't explain anything and did what he did, out of frustration and lack of sleep.
.........................
When he woke up, he noticed that she was not beside him, blame it to his still fuzzy brain but he got really agitated. He suddenly got up, as a result, he hit his leg harshly with the low-table in front, his brows immediately furrowed.
He sat down holding his left ankle which was hit and closed his eyes taking deeps breaths to calm his nerves.
After a moment he felt a sudden coldness from the said area, he slightly opened his eyes only to see Meilin crouched up beside him with an ice pack in hand, in a pink apron with cute sakura embroideries at the edges, it was her personal apron at his penthouse, that he had ordered for her last week.
She had furrowed her brows and with a worried face, was now dabbing the ice pack over his ankle.
Her lovely little face was twisted, as if, it was she who had hit her leg.
'She didn't leave...', his heart warmed up.
As if noticing his stare she looked up from her position and asked in a soft voice, ”Are you okay?” It had worry seeping out just from her tone alone.
Qin ZiXuan had actually winced because he was still drowsy from sleep and the stimulus from being hit was high but his body was trained.
From before he could even distinguish day from night, he was trained not to feel pain even from a bullet shot, what was this in comparison?
Of course, Meilin was not informed about this and always 'handled him with care'....
Watching that face, he couldn't help but feel that being hurt was not always a bad thing.
Her eyes had turned misty from worry, her forehead had beads of sweat, probably from cooking as a result of which, her bangs were sticking to them; her little lips were parted giving a slight peek to her cute pink tongue inside, she looked absolutely adorable but also enticing.
He bent down and with very natural flair gave a peck at her cheek and said, ”I am now..”
He waited for a moment, only to notice that something was not right.
Normally by now, she should have frozen but just now she didn't even tremble or flinch.
Before he could make heads or tails out of it, she passed him the ice pack and said softly, ”hmm...but don't take any chances. Keep pressing it, after I'm done with lunch, I'll bring the ointment or the spray”
She got up and gave his cheek a slight pat and turned back to the kitchen, as she walked back, he could hear her mumble in a soft voice, ”...hope it doesn't sprain”
His intuitions, which according to him were sharper than any women he has met,[Meilin believes in logic and numbers, so he doesn't know what her intuitions are like] were screaming that something was not right, she seemed to have turned back, again.
