Liling froze, Xin Yong peeked at her and then at the young man . Her eyes that met Liling's read 'do you know him?'
He called again "Liling?"
Liling immediately fake-smiled and turned around
"Nurse?, What are you doing here?, I didn't even recognize you" She walked towards him as Xin Yong stood motionlessly staring at both of them .
"Xin Yong, come over here, meet my . . . " Liling knew their relationship wasn't the one to be called friends . She didn't like being overly attached to the opposite sex . So at that point, she was confused what to refer him as .
Advertisement"I'm Chang Ming, her friend" Chang Ming completed, Xin Yong shot Liling a questioning look at the same time, liling was at loss as she stared at Chang Ming's smiling face .
Xin Yong drew closer and cleared her throat . "I'm Xin Yong, nice meeting you Chang Ming, I'll leave you two, I have something very important to take care of upstairs" She smiled and retreated backwards .
Liling wanted to give her signal for her to stay but Xin Yong intentionally avoided her gaze . She immediately left without looking back .
After she had completely disappeared from the scene, it became a little awkward, none of them knew what to say at that minute . Finally Liling cleared her voice and turned to look at Chang Ming who had been staring all these while .
"Ha ha, what brings you to my school dear nurse" Liling asked as she tried to relieve the awkward situation .
Chang Ming wanted to out rightly answer 'You', but he thought of it and found it a little bit straightforward so he said
"Well Liling, I came to see a friend who is a doctor at the school clinic and when I was about to leave, I remembered you once told me you studied here, so I asked around, and I was directed to your dorm" The truth was that, he had a day off that day, and he had been searching all day for her, she was never popular so it was quite hard finding her .
"Ahh, Nurse, so thoughtful of you, you shouldn't have" Liling said as she chuckled lightly .
"Is it wrong, Chang Ming asked as he creased his brows .
"No, no, just that you are a very busy person so . . . "
"I'm a very busy person, but I still have time for my friends "
Chang Ming cut in and Liling chuckled dryly . She never remembered being too close to Chang Ming to be referred to as a friend . Chang Ming excused himself and answered a call, after sometime he hung up and apologized .
"Liling, I'm sorry, but I have to leave now, there is an issue in the hospital, could we meet some other time? "
Liling smiled joyfully, at least he wasn't staying any longer . "Oh Nurse, you needn't apologize, maybe another time then" She didn't think too much of her answer, thinking that he'll just say 'okay' and leave, but the next sentence was a blow .
"Okay, Liling, could you please give me your phone number, so if I come next time I'll be able to reach you?"
'Whoa whoa, why do I meet such persistent people, isn't it obvious that I don't want to speak with him?' Liling thought in her mind but her expression said a different story altogether . With a very wide fake smile she said
"Sure Nurse, you can have it, but I'll be busy these few months, my exams are almost here" She intentionally added .
Chang Ming smiled as though he didn't notice the point she was making, he continued tapping on his phone, taking down the numbers she was calling out .
"Liling, my name is Chang Ming, not nurse . Nurse seems too distant, okay" he said as he smiled gently "So I'll see you later, do take care of yourself" .
He gently tapped her shoulders . Liling stifled at his touch, she watched as he entered his car, bade her a goodbye and drove off .
"What have I gotten myself into? "
She thought out loud as she stared at the disappearing car .
