Xia Xingchen only felt that her heart was clenched into a ball.
She turned around to go to the washroom and took a hot towel before leaning over to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Bai Yeqing suddenly reached his hand out and grabbed her hand. He slightly opened his eyes and looked at her. His deep eyes, now covered with a thin layer of fog, looked more and more mysterious, yet made it her feel very sorry for him.
She could sense that he was in pain. The grip on her hand grew tighter and weakened from time to time while sweat filled his icy-cold palms, which wet her skin.
Xia Xingchen could not bear to see him in pain.
"I will accompany you and divert your attention by chatting. This way, it wouldn't be so painful anymore." She then put down the towel and in a soft voice, she asked, "Do you want to hear any special stories? Or maybe you can tell me anything."
She, on the other hand, was very kind.
Fu Yichen, who was beside them, could not help but glance at both of them—they were very eye-catching.
Bai Yeqing narrowed his slightly squinted eyes on Xia Xingchen, and at the moment, the atmosphere around them turned hazy. "I have a more effective way of diverting my attention away from the pain… are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Xia Xingchen felt as if she was slowly getting infatuated with him.
At this point in time, she actually felt that his hoarse voice sounded very attractive and sexy.
She did not hesitate and nodded. "Of course, I am willing. But, how am I supposed to cooperate with you?"
"Lean down," ordered Bai Yeqing.
"Oh." She bent down her body.
"More."
"Huh?" She hesitated for a while and looked at him while her eyelashes trembled a little.
They were only five fists apart from each other.
If she were to go closer…
It would be very dangerous.
Bai Yeqing felt the pain coursing through again that the grip on her wrist tightened. Xia Xingchen, on the other hand, felt her heart tighten that she almost immediately bent down to go closer to him.
Although she did not know what he had up his sleeve, if she could do something to ease his pain, it was a good thing. Upon having such a thought, the distance between both of them was as close as a fist apart.
The man's handsome and unique features magnified in front of her eyes and it even became a little blur. However, she could still clearly hear his ragged breathing.
Xia Xingchen heartily asked, "What should I do… Hmm…"
She hadn't even finished her sentence when the man suddenly raised his head. His icy-cold lips then touched her lips.
What… What was happening?
She went into a daze for a moment and when she came back to her senses, she instinctively raised her head to back away. But it was futile, for when her lips had just left the man's pair for less than a centimeter, he had placed his hand at the back of her head to pull her.
This kiss was too dangerous.
It made her a little afraid that she might fall deeper into this abyss and never be able to come out.
"Cough, cough… I am already done bandaging." The kiss went on for a long time and the forgotten Fu Yichen could not help but give a few coughs to interrupt them.
If there was an association to protect singles, he must definitely call the cops!
They displayed their affection so blatantly and made it seem like he was non-existent.
He seriously suspected that Mr. President did not even come here to recuperate. Instead, he used recuperation as an excuse to date Miss Xia. What a good reason!
His cough immediately made Xia Xingchen come back to her senses.
She suddenly remembered that Doctor Fu was still at the scene and felt very embarrassed. With her cheeks flushed red, she tried to push him away in a flurry.
However, Bai Yeqing's hand on her head stopped her and before he let go, he left a mark on her lower lip.
She gave him a hasty look and turned to look at him. His eyes dimmed and brightened as if it kept so much emotion in them. Xia Xingchen suddenly became flustered and did not dare to look further. She only turned around and walked out with her cheeks still very red.
It was as if she was escaping from danger.
Although she did not look back, she could clearly feel Doctor Fu's interested gaze.
It was so embarrassing!!! He actually… kissed her again! It was fine if they kissed, but they even forgot that there was a third person in the room.
"This is crazy!" Xia Xingchen cupped her red cheeks and ran in circles outside the door.
This person was too evil! He had said something about diverting his attention and she fell for his trick.
However…
What was she going to do? Not only did she not feel hateful towards that kiss, her heart even fluttered and beat faster.
She touched her chest and for a long time, she could still clearly feel her heart thumping wildly against her chest. What… was wrong with her?
Could she really have… fallen in love with him?
"No! No way!" Since Xia Xingchen was a little shocked by what she had thought of, she hit her face in an attempt to get a grip on herself. She kept mumbling, "He is so handsome, he has such a good figure, and more so, he is the President. So, even if it was any random person, their heart would beat faster if they were kissed that way, right?"
"Yes, yes. So, I must not let him bewitch me! Xia Xingchen, get a grip of yourself!" She asked and answered her own question.
Who did she think the President was? Was he someone she could just like?
Even if they were living together, it was all thanks to Xia Dabai. If Xia Dabai did not come into the picture, they definitely would not even interact with each other at all.
If she really fell in love with him, she would just be one of the thousands of women who admired him.
A normal citizen had never been together with any President in history.
Throughout history, almost every President had a political marriage. If they wanted to have a steady position in the political scene, marriage and love had to be sacrificed.
Regardless of whether they were willing or involuntary, they all end up the same way.
Hence, if a normal citizen like her fell in love with the President, they would be considered as not knowing their place and eventually disappear like a bubble.
She definitely must not blindly watch herself be allured by him!
Xia Xingchen was a reasonable person and she forced herself to calm down. However…
There was an unknown sadness creeping up her heart.
She did not wish to think about the reason behind it.
After a while, Fu Yichen came out with his medicine box. When she saw him again, Xia Xingchen felt very uncomfortable, but she still sent him to the door.
"Are you guys dating?" asked Fu Yichen.
"Huh? No, no!" She almost immediately waved her hand to deny it.
Fu Yichen chuckled and did not seem to take her words seriously. He said, "Although Yeqing looks very cold, you will realize that he is a warm person after getting to know him. It is very easy for him to make a girl fall in love with him."
