"It came from your stares. So hurry and tell us do you like her already?" Yang Chen probed.
"Yeah. Tell us if we should be expecting a sister-in-law or a mummy for our little Ye Lee Ai," Li Fengjin said as he placed his jaw on his hands that were on the table.
"No, I do not like her. I only know her," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"What? You know her?" Yang Chen asked.
"Where? When? How? And do we not know?" Li Fengjin asked point his finger to himself and Yang Chen.
"Look it was not important. It was just like my regular days in the hospital as a doctor and patient," he said.
"Oh. So she was your patient. Tell us how it went when you first met her," Yang Chen said with an exciting smile.
"Did you check her out like today? Gasp. Was the last time not enough that when you saw her today you continued from where you left off last time?" Li Fengjin gasped dramatically with his hands on his chest and eyes wide as he asked.
"No that is not it. In fact she was the one who oogled at me when she came to cabin for a check up." Ye Chaoxiang then took the pain to narrate what had happened. He was very brief.
"So there. That is what happened," he said as he rest his back on the chair, folded his hands and stared at the two friends of his that were also looking at him.
"So all in all, do you like her?" Yang Chen still asked.
"I said it before. No, I do not like her," Ye Chaoxiang answered again.
"Alright fine. Relax. We were just pulling your legs like you used to do with us," Li Fengjin said much to Ye Chaoxiang's liking.
"Yeah. But you two would make a good combo. It is your loss to not like her," Yang Chen still made his point clear.
"Hmm. I also agree with Chen on this one. Little Ye still needs a mother. It would be fair if you loosen up your stern face and get yourself a girlfriend," Li Fengjin said before the waitress, Ning Xiaozhi came with their orders.
While she was placing their food on the table, she kept thinking about happened before. She definitely noticed his intent state on her. Ning Xiaozhi felt giddy at the thought of it.
'Was he checking me out? He was definitely checking me out. Oh my gosh! My hot crush stared at me for more than five seconds,' she rejoiced in her head.
'Gasp. I think he likes me. Oh God. How do I look? Did I put on too much make up? Is my hair okay? Gosh! How do I smell like? I should have put on a perfume this morning,' she kept rambling and rambling.
Ning Xiaozhi was having an emotional storm and before she could prevent her hands from slipping, the hot tea she was about to pass to Ye Chaoxiang poured on his white shirt.
Ye Chaoxiang winced at the unexpected pain he felt on his chest. The part the tea had poured on was not covered by the white singlet he wore inside the shirt. So when the hot tea poured, it met with his bare skin.
I do not need to write how painful it can be. Anyone can imagine the pain of hot liquid on the skin. I can definitely relate.
"Oh my God. I am so so sorry. It was a mistake. Gosh clumsy Xiaozhi," she apologized and muttered the last part as she tried to wipe the stain with the handkerchief she took out from her apron.
Li Fengjin and Yang Chen could only watch with their eyes as wide as a flying saucer. For Ye Chaoxiang to show pain it means the tea must be hot. What were they even thinking? Of course the tea would be hot. Who would want to be served cold green tea?
Meanwhile, Ye Chaoxiang did not have time to react to the situation. Ning Xiaozhi was way ahead of him and her hands were rubbing his chest even if he is clothes. He felt electrocuted that he immediately held his breath from the touch of her hands and her closeness.
"I am so sorry. Please forgive me. In fact the tea is on me. Let me quickly get you another cup. Here wipe yourself," Ning Xiaozhi apologized and quickly ran off to the kitchen after she left her flower printed handkerchief with him.
"Xiang are you alright?" Li Fengjin asked after coming out of his stupor.
"That must hurt alot. Did you get scalded?" Yang Chen also asked. If he was the one, he would have let out a loud yelp on reflex.
"I am... fine. It just stings... a little bit," he stammered.
Ye Chaoxiang's ears were already red. He was flustered by her fresh sent of lavender, her lips she bit down on and the small part of her twin peaks he mistakenly saw when she bent down to clean his shirt. He blinked once, twice and thrice. He could not believe his little brother was already flaring up.
He closed his eyes and took in deep breaths to calm himself down. He felt like a pervert.
'Shit. Get a grip of yourself Ye Chaoxiang. What the hell is wrong with you? Calm down,' he mentally berated himself.
"Xiang! Hello, earth to Ye Chaoxiang," Yang Chen was Rd his hands in front of Ye Chaoxiang's now opened eyes. He was lost.
"Huh. What?" He said as he blinked.
"What were you thinking about?" Li Fengjin asked with scrunched brows.
"Nothing. I think my skin got it bad," he said as he rubbed his chest over his shirt.
Just then Ning came back with another tea cup. She placed the cup in front of Ye Chaoxiang and this time, she carefully poured the tea into the cup.. She did not want to harm her hot doctor again.
