Chapter 8: Cry

When Li Xiu Ying felt that she had cried enough already. She wiped her tears and took a deep breath and muttered to herself "Stop crying". As she turned around, she bumped into someone and instinctively said "Sorry" then she realized this was her corner, no one should know this place.

She had to step back twice to see the person she bumped into. As she stepped back, the man reached out and held her waist.

"Why are you crying?" he asked while looking into her eyes " Are you hurt?" he added

"I...I...I'm not crying" Li Xiu Ying stammered while avoiding his eyes "How did you know I was here?" she added

"I followed you" Zhang Wei replied in a very soft voice "You were clearly crying earlier. I heard you" he added while his other hand tucks some of her hair behind her left ear.

When Zhang Wei did that, Li Xiu Ying realized that he was holding his waist. She tried to wiggle but instead of letting go, Zhang Wei even places his other hand on her waist. He was holding her tightly and she could not understand what's happening.

"Can you please let me go Sir!" she said struggling in his embrace

"Sir? I thought you remembered my name?" he replied disappointedly "And, no I'm not letting you go, I'm comforting you" he added with a smile.

Li Xiu Ying was dumbfounded by his reply. Comforting my ass! she thought. She struggled once more and this time put all of her energy so he'll let go of her.

"Stop wiggling" Zhang Wei tightening his hold onto her once more "I will not let you go until you tell me why you are crying" he sternly asked

"Alright! Alright" she said exasperatedly while waiving her two hands in the air "I'm sad because a patient died" she added while looking down "Now let me go"

"Why? Is this the first time that someone died on you" he asked puzzledly as he lets go of her waist

"Nope," she said stepping back "But I always get sad whenever this happens"

"I get it," he said looking earnestly at her " I don't want you to get sad. So resign from your job now. I'll take care of you," he pompously said while nodding at her, thinking he had the brightest idea ever.

Li Xiu Ying could not believe what she heard. Is this guy crazy??? Me??? resign and he'll take care of me??? Unbelievable, with that thought she could not help but laugh out loud.

"Wow! Thank you! " she said laughing very hard " You just made me laugh. Ahh Thanks Bro!" she added while tapping Zhang Wei on his shoulder as she passed her by.

Zhang Wei was mesmerized for a second because of her melodious laugh and her tap, it warms his heart. However, out of nowhere, he realized she calls him bro! WTF! he thought! Have I been friend zoned??? He could not believe it.

"Excuse me??? Who are you calling Bro?" he asked as he grabs Li Xiu Ying hand "Can you repeat that" he irritatedly added

"Of course you" Li Xiu Ying still laughing " Is there anyone else here aside from you" she looks around to prove her point

Suddenly Zhang Wei grabs her waist and places his other hand at the back of her head and kiss Li Xiu Ying's lips. He's been wanting to do this the first time he met her. Her lips are so soft like he's eating a marshmallow and he's only kissing the surface, he wants to taste her, but she keeps her lips shut.

He squeezes her waist not knowing that she's ticklish on that part of her body. Li Xiu Ying could not help but yelp and when she did her mouth slightly opened and Zhang Wei took this chance to explore and taste her further.
