Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009 - The Part-Time Expert (25)

Si Chen lay on the bed with the IV drip beside him. His face seemed pale due to the fever.

He looked at the space beside Ming Shu. “You came to find me?”

“I said that I was just passing by.”

“Where are you going then? What made you pass by Huanyao?” Huanyao’s building is huge. If you didn’t plan to come here, you would not pass by here at all.

“NS.”

“...”

Who built the NS Club beside Huanyao’s building?

Deduct his salary!

Ming Shu saw Si Chen pulling a long face. She smiled and said, “People seem to like taking your life away.”

“Do you like me?”

The room turned quiet.

After a few seconds, Si Chen shrunk into his blanket. “I’m sleepy. You can leave now.”

Si Chen didn’t hear any footsteps leaving the room.

Someone sat on his bed.

“You don’t want to know the answer?”

“No.” Si Chen’s muffled voice came from under the blanket. “Who wants to know if you want to take my life too?”

“Oh.”

There was no reply after that.

Si Chen was agitated. He lifted his blanket and peeked out.

The room was empty. She was gone.

Si Chen scanned the empty ward. He didn’t know if he was disappointed. He just knew that he felt uncomfortable.

After a long while.

Kacha—

The door opened slightly.

Si Chen shrunk back under his blanket instinctively.

“Si Chen?

“Are you asleep?”

Si Chen controlled his breathing and pretended to be asleep.

He felt someone lifting his blanket. He couldn’t see, but he felt the person stand before him and size him up.

After some time, the blanket was placed back and something soft and light touched his forehead.

It seemed like a finger or a pair of lips...

Si Chen forced himself to not open his eyes.

Something that sounded like a hamster nibbling could be heard.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the direction where the sound came from.

Ming Shu was sitting on the sofa. She was holding her cellphone with one hand and holding a piece of bread with the other.

She bit the bread slowly. The cream stained her lips. She licked her lips and removed the cream.

Si Chen turned around.

The sound stopped. Ming Shu confirmed that he just turned his body before continuing eating her food.

Si Chen grabbed his blanket. He was blushing. A part of his body was bulging.

Si Chen wanted to smack the wall. All he did was look at her...

Why did this happen to him?

Did he lack women around him?

... Why was she still not leaving?

Was she planning to stay here for the night?

Si Chen forgot how disappointed he was when she was gone just now.

Luckily, he calmed down after he stopped looking at her.

Si Chen didn’t remember when he fell asleep.

He had a wet dream. When he woke up, his face was slightly hot.

At least no one was around...

No one?

She left?

Si Chen scanned his ward. There was no one.

He didn’t want Ming Shu to leave, but he didn’t want her to see him, either. This feeling irritated him so much he was in a bad mood when the doctors came to check on him.

“Mr. Si, please raise your hand.” The doctor bore with the cold aura around Si Chen.

Si Chen was cooperative. He raised his hand.

He glanced at his wrist. Something caught his attention. He looked back instantly.

“Mr. Si, you believe in this?” The doctor tried his best to start a conversation to lighten the mood. “With your qualities, you do not need to seek love. Love will come and find you.”

“What is the use of that? I don’t like them,” Si Chen refuted sarcastically. “Why are you so talkative? You don’t want to be a doctor anymore?”

The doctor: “...” I am trying to curry your favor. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The doctor stopped talking under the deadly glare of Si Chen. He inspected Si Chen and left in a hurry.

Si Chen looked at the red string on his hand. After that, he threw everything he could find on the bed.

She gave him this because she didn’t like him, right?

He was wealthy and handsome. Why didn’t she like him?

I am so handsome...

“Mister, what are you doing?” The assistant hurried inside and pressed on the wound on Si Chen’s hand. He shouted, “Doctor! Doctor!”

“Why doesn’t she like me?”

“Huh?” The assistant hurriedly consoled him, “Who doesn’t like you? Those people who don’t like you must be blind. You are so handsome and rich. Doctor, please stop the bleeding.”

Master’s temper became worse when he was sick.

Si Chen took off the IV drip. Blood oozed out of his wound. The bed was already stained with a huge blotch of blood. It looked scary.

The doctor cautiously closed the wound for Si Chen.

This person has a weird temper.

...

Ming Shu only remembered the intermediary contest after she got a call from Wang Heyang. She rushed to the competition venue from the hospital.

Jiang Liu was standing with an unfamiliar lady.

He said something to the lady. The lady looked over at her and smiled happily. “Master!”

Ming Shu placed her hand on her forehead. “A Soft Smile?”

A Soft Smile nodded obediently. “Master, it’s me.”

A Soft Smile had signed a contract with the NS Club. She came over to watch her master.

From the photos, her master was beautiful. She was a scholar, too.

A Soft Smile wanted to gain some scholarly aura from her master.

Hence, when the other players arrived, they saw a lady hovering around Ming Shu like a puppy.

Qingqiu Zhong said, “Where did Wind God get this girl from?”

Tonight’s Moon replied, “Even Wind God has a girl. We are still single.”

Overlapped Moon and Sun said, “Actually... I have a girlfriend.”

Everyone looked at Overlapped Moon and Sun simultaneously.

Overlapped Moon and Sun smiled uncomfortably.

Qingqiu Zhong: “Traitor!”

Tonight’s Moon: “Traitor.”

Yellow Crane Returning West: “... Traitor.”

Everyone looked at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu said in a small voice, “Traitor...”

Overlapped Moon and Sun: “...”

Wang Heyang finished conversing with the staff member and came over to bring them into the competition venue. He realized that Overlapped Moon and Sun was being discriminated against by the rest of the team. Overlapped Moon and Sun seemed helpless.

He just left for a while. What happened?

The powerful teams didn’t meet each other in the intermediary contest too.

A Soft Smile was elated. “Master, I will cheer for you later!”

Ming Shu said seriously, “You can just buy snacks for me.”

A Soft Smile blinked. “Shall I buy snacks and cheer for you?”

Ming Shu smiled brightly.

A Soft Smile was stunned.

Her master was beautiful when she smiled.

The entire world seemed to lightt up when she smiled.
