Chapter 27: Say Ah!
Pursing her lips throughout the entire blood flowing process, she asked, "Why do I have to take an allergy blood test?"
"Because someone answered she didn't know about her allergies in a health questionnaire." Removing the container smoothly and attaching another for filling, he answered with a caring tone.
"There are so many tubes to go. Sigh. The weather was sunny out. Now, it's gloomy! Look." She gestured forward using her head, but received no response on his end. His silence was contagious. Since he had stopped responding and concentrated on the red liquid from her body, she also stopped speaking.
'A straight nose, soft looking hair, not too thick or thin lips, eyes are just the right size...Is he god's carved creation? Those eyebrows are on point too. If I had those eyebrows, then I wouldn't need those brow pencils at home. What a nice rosy lip color. I wonder if he uses any lip balm.'
When it reached the fill up for the last container, she started feeling a little dizzy and closed her eyes to rest. She could have asked him to stop, but didn't because it was already filled up halfway.
"Are you feeling okay? We're almost done." His voice sounded like a lullaby to her at this point. Maybe because she didn't get enough sleep and was losing blood, her body started feeling drained out.
"Nmm.." Resting her head against her left palm, she gave him a light response. Once the container was filled, he carefully took out the needle and pressed hard onto the small wound with a cotton pad. Seeing her tired expression, he had her press down on the cotton ball while he ripped the band-aid.
After he had covered the cotton with a band-aid, she yawned, "Done?"
"Yep. Here, a strawberry lollipop. Say Ah!" Quickly unwrapping the wrapper off the lollipop, he fed it to her mouth.
"Can you walk?" Seeing her slow reactions, he quickly checked the containers, making sure each had her name on it.
"Yeah..." Forcing her eyes opened slightly, she managed to stand up for a minute. Her left foot stepped forward, but the right leg didn't move as planned. Staggering backwards, he reached out to help her balance.
"This is called walking?"
"It's a new type of cat walk." With one arm around her shoulder and the other on her waist, it reminded her of how she cried in his embrace yesterday night. Feeling her cheeks heating up, she subconsciously covered her face.
As a guy who had never spent more than a minute on girls before her, he lacked experience. Even though she was hiding her shyness, he thought she was feeling utterly uncomfortable. Looking out the door, he didn't see any wheelchairs available either.
Without a second thought, he picked her up in princess style and stepped out of his office. Her slippers fell off her feet when her legs floated in the air. She blinked.
Blinked again.
"What are you doing? Put me down?" Her legs swung slightly.
"Do you want to know how it feels to be hanging from a cliff?" He grinned as she refused to stay obedient in his arms.
"No..WAhhh, daddy!!" Her arms clung around his neck as she felt a sudden drop happen. As for her legs, it wrapped around his waist tightly.
With his arms still somewhat midway in the air, he let out a soft laugh, "Really? Daddy? I only wanted to scare you a little, but this position is fine as well. Now, would you like to cat walk barefooted to your room or have me assist you?"
"You.. assist me." She buried her face in his shoulder; unable to face the rest of the staff.
"Good. In this position or the previous one?"
"What do you.." Looking down, her legs were still wrapped around his waist. 'What kind of position is this???' She screamed inwardly. Her heart pounded rapidly.
Sounding nervous, she whispered, "The last position is fine."
"Okay. You can step on me if you don't want to touch the floor." He offered, as she left her slippers in his office.
Stepping down carefully on his office shoes, she lifted her arms around his neck to make it easier for him to carry her. Under some jealous eyes, he brought her back to her room and put her in bed.
"My slippers..."
"I'll get them for you in a moment. But first, eat this." Taking a banana from the fruit basket by her table, he peeled it halfway and handed it to her.
"Huh?"
"Replenish your sugar. I'll be back." Just like that, he turned around and left her alone. Taking bite after bite of the banana, her eyes concentrated at the entrance. Within five minutes, he came back with snacks in one hand and a cup of chocolate in the other.
"Here, these are light snacks that are well balanced in calories. I've already ordered your set meal and it should be delivered soon. Next time, you should say something if you feel faint from getting blood withdrawn. It could lead to serious consequences if you don't."
Slipping his hands in his pockets, he walked back to his office. This time, he brought her slippers with him and placed it neatly by her bedside. Digging through a bag of potato chips, she looked at him quietly. She didn't even realize crumbs were stuck at the corner of her lips.
Chuckling, he pointed at his lips, "You left some crumbs here and here."
"Hmm?" Putting down the bag of chips, she brushed her lips and looked at him again.
"Nope. Still there. Here, I'll help you." Bending forward, his thumb brushed the remaining crumbs away from her soft lips.
"Um..Ahem.. What are you two doing?"
Hearing the familiar voice by the door, Lin Que quickly adjusted his position while Lily snatched the bag of chips from the table and stuffed chips in her mouth. Ginny and Toby came to visit her and walked in on them at a rather suspicious angle.
"He was checking up on me after taking my blood." She munched on her chips, hoping her voice didn't give her away.
"Oh! That angle was certainly misleading then. How are you feeling?" Toby smiled as she walked over towards Lily. Her eyes immediately landed on the band-aid stuck to the cotton on Lily's arm.
"Pretty good. I was just a little low on sugar." Lily peeked in Ginny's direction and waved her over.
Ginny's eyes acted like X-ray scanners where she eyed him from head to toe. With her hand pinching her chin, she thought he looked familiar. Since she wasn't present when he stopped by last time, she didn't get to meet him properly.
'Why does he seem a little familiar?'
At the same time, Lin Que also felt a sense of familiarity as well. They maintained a safe distance as they tried squeezing out some brain juice to remember where they had seen each other before.
'Hmm..Where have I seen her?'
