Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile 44 Chapter 44- Visiting Nana

/Nana's private room in hospital

Nana: "When can I go home?"

Zhen Qi smiled lightly as he continued slicing her favorite fuji apples and placing it on the container with other types of fruits. "When Uncle Chen Mu lets you"

Nana: "I've been here for too long. Can't I recover at home?" she shrugged and pouted her lips like a child.

Zhen Qi chuckled and wiped his hands after completing the fruit platter. "You, do you know how serious your condition is? You were choking earlier from eating. What will happen if this happened at home and we can't treat you in time? Be good and stay here a few days."

Her pink lips perked up to a smile that was as beautiful as a flower. "Then you stay here with me for the days I'm staying here."

Zhen Qi: "Mmm I'll stay with you for as long as you want me to."

Nana: "then what about school?"

Zhen Qi: "I'll only miss a day or two of school since it's the end of the week. I'll stay with you."

Nana: "...Then stay with me over the weekends. I don't want you to miss class because of me. That will ruin your perfect attendance and I know Aunty and Uncle wouldn't like it if you skipped for me."

Zhen Qi: "Haha, really? You care about what my parents think huh? Relax, they treat you like you're their daughter. If they weren't on a business trip, they'll be here now visiting you. If they come back and finds out that I've neglected you for school, I'll be getting a lecture."

Nana: "How about you go to school and then make up for the few days that you're not with me after I get released from the hospital? how about that?"

Zhen Qi handed her the fruit platter, "Whatever you say goes."

Nana happily chewed on her fruits and fed him a piece of strawberry, "Sweet?"

"Very sweet."

Ya Nuo: "Nana, I'm here."

Nana gave the fruits to Zhen Qi and hopped out of bed to hug Ya Nuo. Ya Nuo opened her arms when she saw her excited face. 'So lively like always'

When Nana was 3 steps away from Ya Nuo, Huan Hei suddenly stood in her way and interrupted their reunion. She stopped and bumped her head on his hard chest. "Xu Huan Hei, I never knew you wanted to hug me that much. Too bad I'm not interested in you."

Huan Hei let out a laugh, "Who wants to hug you? If I want to hug I'll hug Nuo all day long. I just didn't want you to get hurt from bumping into her body and end up staying longer at the hospital."

Ya Nuo gently pushed him aside and hugged Nana, "Don't listen to this potato head. He is jealous that you got all my attention for the past hours. How are you feeling now?"

Nana enjoyed the warmth of her embrace. It made her feel a sense of familiarity and security. Nana smiled sweetly and purposely looked at Huan Hei with a victory smile, "I'm recovering well. Thank you for coming to see me."

Ya Nuo: "Of course. I promised to come visit you. Here, we bought you a fruit basket."

Nana: "Yay! Thank you! I'm so bored staying at the hospital~ Thank goodness you're here to talk with me."

Ya Nuo took a quick glance at Zhen Qi and nodded slightly, "Are you eating? There are some cut up fruits. You should eat more to recover faster. Have you taken medicine yet?"

Nana: "I was eating some fruits when you came in."

Ya Nuo: "Alright, then continue eating and we can talk while you eat okay?"

While the girls were talking by the bed, Zhen Qi and Huan Hei recognized each other and quietly exited the room.

Zhen Qi: "Can't believe Xu Corps President is here with a girl."

Huan Hei: "Same here. I didn't think I'll see Zhen corps young master here. What's up? Did you escape from a match making session again? Except this time you went to hide in a hospital room?"

Zhen Qi: "Ho! You're one to talk. What about you? Did you pretend to be gay again to reject your parents set up date?"

Huan Hei: "I already have a girlfriend so why would I have to hide or pretend to be gay?"

Zhen Qi: "I already have someone I love so I don't need to face those double face women out there either."

Huan Hei: "Let's just not mention any of this in front of the girls..."

Zhen Qi: "Agreed. So Ya Nuo is your..."

Huan Hei: "future wife. From an outsider's point of view, young master Zhen Qi who never lets any female approach him..that Nana girl is..the one you like?"

Zhen Qi: "The only one I love. Also, you didn't seem to be that welcoming earlier to her. You were rather rude."

Huan Hei: "My bad. I thought she was one of the girls who tried to approach my parents to get through to me."

Zhen Qi: "Haha, don't worry. My Nana isn't interested in you."

Huan Hei: "Phew, well then, that's a relief. I'll go in and thank her for saving my girlfriend."

Zhen Qi: "Sure. Oh right, keep track of where your girlfriend is from now on. Try to be with her as much as you can to protect her."

Huan Hei: "Don't need anyone to remind me of that."

While the guys were outside chatting secretly, the girls were catching up with their gossip.

Ya Nuo: "so now we are official..."

Nana: "Woahh!!!! So great!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Kyaaa how was it like to kiss him?"

Ya Nuo: "Well... his lips were warm and soft... then everything in my mind became a blur because the kisses got very intense."

Nana: "Kyaaa!! Tell me more! I'm so envious of you two! Though he is a bit annoying and rude to me, I still think you two are extremely adorable together!"

Ya Nuo: "Then what about you two? You and Zhen Qi. Don't fool me with the "We're just friends" thing. I'm not buying it."

Nana blushed, "Actually, I'm not sure what we are either. To be honest, we did kiss before... but it was just a peck before I got shy and ran upstairs!" she covered her face shyly and shook her head sideways a few times from embarrassment.

Ya Nuo: "Silly girl, don't shake her head like that. Your neck might get hurt. Hmm.. then why not test him?"

Nana blinked innocently, "Test him? how?"

Ya Nuo whispered in a low and playful voice...
