Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 303

Throughout the rest of her shift which is not ending until the next day, she spent her entire time in the operating rooms and the wards.

She took time to visit the liver cirrhosis patient but she didn’t tell him what happened.

She later returned to the office knowing that Han Chen shift has already ended, she was expecting him to have already left, she opened the door to the office then she peeked inside, wishing to find him in there but disappointment filled her face when she found the office empty.

“He could have said bye at least,” she pouted her lips then closed the door as she made her way to the rooms where the surgeons rest.

She put on the light in the room then she made sure to check the bunk to make sure no one is in the room, after assuring herself, she put off her coat then she unbuttoned her shirt then pulled it off and flung it on the lower bunk bed leaving only her cropped white sport top on, she plans to sleep with only that on since no one ever comes into the room apart from her and her friends so as long as she wakes up really early then it will be fine since she doesn’t sleep easily anyway.

The door creaked open causing her to flinch, she hurriedly looked for her shirt but before she could get it, the person had already entered.

She turned to look at the person in embarrassment but she was surprised to see who it was.

“Han Chen!” She exclaimed, he fixed his eyes on her for a moment, taking his time admire and fall for her all over again, her wavy hair was resting on her shoulder, giving way to her slender neck on the other side.

The sport top defined her bosom very rounded and also highlighted her flat belly, his lips subconsciously spread into a curled up smile finding himself unable to take his eyes off her.

She pulled her shirt over her body then buttoned it up to to her chest then she pulled him in and closed the door.

” I thought you had gone back,” she whispered with a hint of relieve in her voice, he brushed her wayward strands off her face then he cupped her face with both hands.

“I didn’t want to leave you alone all night,” she smiled at his satisfactory answer then she wrapped her hands around his back.

“You talk like I haven’t been doing this before I met you again,”

he lowered his face into hers.

“That’s true but now that we are together again, I won’t leave you alone,”

They looked into each other’s eyes for some seconds as her smile widened almost to her eyes.

She felt butterflies in her stomach just hearing his affectionate words.

He wrapped his hand around her shoulder then he gently placed her head on his broad chest.

“You must be very tired, I will let you recharge,” he muttered as she snuggled against his chest for a tighter hug then she nodded her head.

He stroked her hair gently then he pressed a kiss on her hair.

“You should sleep now that you are recharged,” he said after some time as he placed his hand on her shoulder but she maintained her tight wrap around his back.

“Are you leaving?” She asked with a sulking face.

He kissed her forehead reassuringly.

“I am sleeping here,”

A wild thought ran across her mind for a second until she remembered that the bunk has two beds.

“Huh…” she pulled away then she laid down on the lower bed.

“Do you want to…”

“No,”

She interjected without waiting for him to completely ask.

“….sleep together,” he completed despite the rejection.

Although he was disappointed. he didn’t want to insist, he climbed into the upper bunk then he turned to the wall, closing his eyes to sleep as he didn’t think there is any chance of sleeping on the same bed with her.

{Stupid}

She blamed herself for answering so abruptly, she was flustered thinking he was gonna ask something dirty as her mind was already thinking in that direction ever since he entered the room.

She couldn’t bring herself to sleep as she now yearned to sleep in his embrace without any dirty thought, she closed her eyes to sleep but the sleep still didn’t creep in, she was really tired earlier before she saw him so she thought she was gonna sleep easily.

She kept turning around but to no avail so she made up her mind.

She stood up from the lower bed then she climbed onto the upper bed, she waved her hands over his face to make sure he is asleep, she didn’t get any reaction from him so she concluded that he is asleep.

She laid behind him then she wrapped her arms around his belly as she snuggled against his back with a wide smile on her lips, just staying next to him makes her bubble with joy and his nice scent just soothes her mind.

“I thought you didn’t want to sleep together?” his soft mutter clearly showed that he was offended and sulking but she shut her eyes in embarrassment, if she knew he was still awake then she wouldn’t have climbed up to his bed.

“I changed my mind,”

He turned to her then placed one of his hands on her face and the other around her shoulder.

“You are so damn pretty that I can’t even get angry with you,” he said as though it was a complaint then he stroked the side of her face while her smile reached her eyes, she tightened her arms around his back then she snuggled on his chest while he placed his hand on her back and the other on her hair.

Then they fell asleep.

The next morning.

“Love birds, are you not going to wake up,”

They both pretended to not hear anything but when it struck them that someone else is in the room, they sprung up from the bed then turned to see who it is.

“Li Chen,” she exclaimed, unlike his ghastly look the last time she saw him, he looked really vibrant.

“I didn’t think you two have gotten this far,” he smiled teasingly then he left the room, she covered her face in shyly, he removed her hands over her face then he patted her on her shoulder to suck it up.

They both brushed together before changing into another set of clothing to begin another busy day with no rest.

Parallel world.

For the past months, every sect has been preparing itself for the martial heroes contest, the last competition was won by the wind sect before the flame sect went into seclusion, although the wind sect now leads the alliance, every sect still wants to surpass them.

In the blossom pavilion.

“Fourth prince, can I come in?” Mexiang asked as she stood in front of the fourth prince’s meditation chamber.

“Come in,”

She entered the chamber then stood behind him as she watched him sit in a lotus position with a blue aura surrounding him, as soon as she entered, she felt a force pressuring her entire body and it made her unwilling to remain there any longer.

“What is it?”

“Replying master, I have just received news from my master that everything has already been set up in the capital and all that is remaining is to give your order to resume the business,” she answered with her hands folded on her navel and her head slightly bowed.

“Hmm…you didn’t have to deliver this news yourself, you should have sent Feng Shui,” the fourth prince responded with his eyes still closed in meditation.

“Just like them, I believe it is my duty to serve you thus it is inevitable that I deliver the news myself, is fourth prince not happy with this?” her tone sounded downcast.
