Chapter 52: I know your secret

When Wang Shi was walking towards her, she noticed his limped walk… biting her lips she tried to control her laugh.

He examines her thoroughly and advised her to take medicine on time, "Miss. Xiu Mei, you are perfectly fine… I am prescribing you a medicine, which you have to take after dinner, Ok?"

Holding her jaw tight she nodded her head in approval, otherwise, her laughter might jump out on Wang Shi's face…

"And after a week I will remove your stitches, Ok?"

She again nodded without looking at him and didn't say anything.

Wang Shi noticed her strange attitude and frowned. He looked at Feng Jianyu seeking for an answer, but Feng Jianyu himself was frowning at her strange behavior.

"Miss. Xiu Mei, your cheeks are red, let me check your temperature also", saying this he passed a thermometer to her to put it in her mouth.

Turning towards Feng Jianyu he said, "Jianyu, why don't you wait for me in the other room… I will be there in five minutes to examine you".

....Pffffftt.....

Xiu Mei spits out the thermometer in her mouth before it could measure her temperature, "Cough….. Cough…." Covering her mouth she hides her laughter, "I am sorry for this…."

Wang Shi frowned hard and scolded her, "Miss. Xiu Mei, you mind telling me what's wrong with you? Otherwise, I won't sign your discharge papers".

Feng Jianyu already got a hunch about the reason behind her strange behaviour…. He was looking at Wang Shi sharply.

"No No… please don't do this… ", Horrified at this, she waved her hand at Wang Shi. "I…I know your secret Dr. Wang… I heard it someone talking about it", lowering her head she said blushingly.

"What secret?"

"Dr. Wang I am open-minded, don't worry I am not judging you… I am only surprised because it's out of my expectation"

"Miss. Xiu Mei, what secret?"

"I…I heard it in the washroom… That ….", she looked at Wang Shi timidly, pointing her right-hand index finger at him, left-hand index finger at Feng Jianyu and then hugged both the fingers.

Feeling bashful, she covered her cheeks with both hands.

Wang Shi "….."

Feng Jianyu "…."

Wang Shi looked at his brother, and as expected Feng Jianyu's face was as dark as a bottom of the pot, he was giving a scorned look to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi rubbed his head, "Miss. Xiu Mei, it's not what you think…" Stealing a glance at his brother, he gritted his teeth, "I don't know from where this gossip mushroomed from… I was sparring with him and the nurse take it wrong… Please, none of this is true." He joined his hands in front of her.

She had no intention to make the situation awkward for Wang Shi. To avoid the topic going any further she nodded her head lightly, "Dr. Wang it's Ok… you don't have to clear things out…"

"hufffff..... Thank God you understood Mi...….."

"It doesn't matter to me at all… If you both are together, I don't have any problem.", before Wang Shi could complete his sentence, she said.

Wang Shi face palmed him, 'Who am I talking to? Even God himself cannot make woman understanding anything…'

Feng Jianyu "….."

'I have to do something… If she believed in this rubbish gossip then how am I going to approach her? My love story will end even before it started.'

He got up from his seat and slowly walked towards Xiu Mei by unbuttoning his coat button. Until now her attention was on Wang Shi, but she noticed Feng Jianyu coming towards them.

He took off his coat and put it on her bed. She thought he is approaching Wang Shi, but soon he pulled Wang Shi back holding his collar and stood beside her bed.

Folding his shirt sleeves he asked in a low seductive voice, "Mei, You really think that I'm gay? If I am gay then why my heart skips a beat every time I see you?" He was looking straight into her eyes.

Xiu Mei "….."

He sits down on her bed and spoke to her in a low seductive voice, "Mei, if I'm gay then why I dream of you when I fall asleep."

Hearing this, Xiu Mei could feel her heart thumping loudly.

Leaning in closer to her he whispered, "Mei, if I'm gay then why every time I see you, your smile brightens my day?"

She gulped and shrank her body.

He leaned in more closely, "Mei, if I'm gay then why you are constantly in my thoughts?" his eyes kept looking at her face in the anticipation of getting some response from her.
