Chapter 581 - Force-fed dog food (1/2)
Lu Meili fed Small Xixi since the latter couldn't move about too much. Her body still hurt.
When she was done, she went to the table to take her own breakfast. It was at this moment that Small Xixi noticed that Lu Meili's movements were unusual. She looked like she was struggling to move her left foot. Upon closer inspection, that left ankle was in fact swollen.
Guilt filled her little heart. ”Sis Meili, you said that you were not hurt at all. Why would you lie to your best friend?”
Lu Meili realized that it was noticeable. When Mu Zhichen was around, it was not that painful. She could still move around normally while sucking up the slight pain. However, it must be hurting right now because she had been sitting in the same posture for too long. It hurt so much...
But she put on a smile. ”Xixi, what are you saying? When did I lie to you?”
”Your ankle hurts, right? Why did you not let the doctor check it out? I know you are only lying about being alright so I won't feel guilty.”
Lu Meili chuckled. Small Xixi looked like she was on the verge of tears. ”It's not that. If I let the doctor check it, I will be given medication. You know how much I hate that, right?”
Small Xixi finally understood the situation and glared at her. ”You said just now that Mu Zhichen had you get a full body check up. You must have been given medicine but you stubbonly didn't take it, right?”
”Ah... not so loud. It tastes awful!”
”Would you rather lose your leg?” Small Xixi was speechless. How old was Lu Meili? She still acted childish when it came to medication.
”Who would rather lose her leg?” Mu Zhichen was back. He had overhead Small Xixi's reprimanding voice.
He had brought fruits for both of them.
Small Xixi quickly threw her friend under the bus. It was for her own good anyway. ”Sis Meili refuses to take medicine. Now her foot hurts so much that she can't walk properly.”
Mu Zhichen placed the fruit basket on the table and went over to Lu Meili. Without giving any sort of warning, he lifted her off the floor and sat on the chair, placing her on his lap. He took her leg to inspect her ankle before she could react.
Small Xixi could only agree to be force-fed the sudden dog food.
”Mu Zhichen, what are you doing?” Lu Meili finally reacted. How could he simply carry her?
”It's too swollen. It must hurt a lot. You're getting it checked again or you may not be able to walk properly in future.”
”I don't wanna.”
”What was that? Are you going to throw a tantrum and yell like a little baby?” Mu Zhichen had learnt a lot from his playboy friends about dealing with women. If she was afraid of something, it was better to coax her than use forceful methods.
She tried to struggle off his lap.
He held her tightly. ”Sweetie, be good. You don't want to lose your leg, right?”
Small Xixi who was secretly taking photos using the phone Lu Meili had brought her today coughed.
How could Lu Meili possibly struggle off someone's arms and not be able to? Unless Mu Zhichen was too strong with seemed rather far fetched.
There could only be one possibility- she actually wanted to be on his lap.
Small Xixi was right. Lu Meili had never sat on a man's lap before. She had only been friends with Xu Tang before so she handn't sat on his either.
She suddenly found that she was not uncomfortable at all. In fact, she didn't want to leave and neither did she have any intention of doing so.
Mu Zhichen felt a certain reaction and realized that in his worry, he had actually sat her on his lap. Even worse, her backside was extremely close to a certain part of his body.
It wouldn't matter if they were on their own. But Small Xixi was here!
Lu Meili wasn't a naïve innocent girl. She unmistakenly felt something poke at her slightly and blushed in embarassment. This Mu Zhichen was too unrestrained!
Small Xixi had long stopped looking at them.
This couldn't get any more awkward.
