Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 164 - Hidden love
"She is okay. It was only a minor burn and would heal soon" The doctor told a worried looking Jianjun.
He had volunteered to take her to the hospital himself. 'Why did the waiter have to move at that time?' He couldn't help feeling sad for Changyu because it was his fault. He had really been startled when her soft hands touched his arm unexpectedly. If he hadn't reacted that way, she wouldn't have been hurt. He was aware she had a delicate skin which always looked for an excuse to sore or cut. Getting burned, he couldn't imagine how much pain she was going through right now. Especially as it was that time of the month for her.
He looked at the direction where she was currently sitting. He didn't want to be there. He didn't want to see her in pain while she got treated. So he had decided to sit far instead. She looked slightly pale. But still obviously very pretty like he had always known her to be.
His lips curved slightly when he heard her call his name and waved at his direction with a smile on her face.
It was the first time he was seeing her look a bit disheveled since she was always looking very pretty and tidy whenever he saw her.
She always gave him a positive energy and he liked being around her. Earlier, he had been worried since she left the kitchen to use the restroom just like she had told his mother. But, she wasn't coming back in. He could no longer concentrate and decide to go look for her instead. What if she was in trouble or hurt? A lot of silly ideas went through his mind even though he couldn't possibly see any danger she may encounter by only using the next two doors outside the kitchen door.
His smile faded soon enough when he remembered that she was never going to be his. He had heard her telling Cixi about her losing her fiance and how she still missed him. She had also said something about how her parents had already chosen a new groom for her. He went away when he heard up to that part. He didn't want to hear anymore about it.
He remembered the first day he saw her at the restaurant speaking with his mother. His heartbeat had stopped for that second and then, it began to race. He tried not to look at her and only focus on his mother.
He had contemplated trying a couple of times. He wanted to ask her out. Tell her he loved her. Tell her he wanted to be the one she would look at for the rest of his life. Tell her it hurt him a lot whenever she talked about her ex-fiance. But what if she didn't like him back?
What if she had no such affection for him?
He had never had a girlfriend or female friend that he was very close with. Well, except his crazy sister, Cixi. So he didn't know much about how girls reacted. Most girls that had been close to him in school, had the same reaction Helene and Changyu gave him. So he naturally assumed that all girls were like that. They always smiled politely, looked at him with nice eyes and offered him assistance even when he didn't need their help.
What is Changyu didn't like him and it was just her nature to be nice? Besides, she already had a prospective groom her parents had already arranged right?"
He came back to his senses and moved closer to her. "How do you feel now?" He tried to act nonchalant when he asked.
"Better. Thank you" She replied with a blush.
He wondered why girls easily got embarrassed. What was there to be embarrassed about getting burned?
(I guess we all can see where Sara got her low EQ from. Man must have done some upgrade in the future. Lol)
"I'm not sure you can work in the kitchen this period. You should rest at home" He said.
Changyu frowned. Did he want to get rid of her that much? One time he had seen her making a call with a male friend of hers and had shouted at her to just quit if she was going to continue being unserious.
"What's with the look? Are you still hurt?" He asked in concern.
She wanted to ask whether he hated her so much. But seeing his look of concern now, she changed her mind. "Are you worried about me?" She asked instead.
Jianjun cleared his throat awkwardly since the question took him by surprise.
"Of course... There is going to be too much chores for me to do by myself. So you have to get better soon and join me in the kitchen" He said expressionlessly, causing her to pout.
DEAR READERS,
I am writing it here since most readers do not read the author's note.
I want to appeal to you all.
I saw something an author posted and I couldn't help but agree. It takes up to two hours for a author to write down a chapter. After reading, you could leave a comment. Not only does it help us know what you think, it also helps us know how to progress. I got the statistic of the number of people who unlocked a chapter. But I was really surprised since the comments were not up to one quarter of the percentage.
Please, do well to drop a comment.
You all have been wonderful. The votes, comments, reviews, gifts and all. I really do appreciate it all. I've come this far because of all of you. As for the typos, I'm currently editing the reviously updated chapters. Sorry to you all who read it that way.
I intent to keep this 'past arc' short. I don't want to drag it since I already mentioned this is not going to be more than 300 chapters.
So do well to leave your suggestions. I'll be updating another chapter later today again just like I did yesterday.
Thanks to you all once again.
Chapter end
