Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Politely Refusing the School Beauty
“Zimo, didn’t you say you were feeling unwell? Let check you!” Lin Fei looked at Qin Zimo on the hospital bed and said.
Seeing Lin Fei was about to co forward to check her, Qin Zimo noticed Li Ke, Xu Wei, and Li Qing in the room. Her face flushed slightly as she hurriedly said to Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, no need, I’m fine now.”
Earlier, she had claid to feel unwell because she was worried Lin Fei would suffer under Xie Wenbo’s hand.
Besides, with outsiders in the room, if Lin Fei were to co over and place his hand on her abdon for massage treatnt, it would be so embarrassing, especially under others’ gaze.
Seeing Qin Zimo say she was fine and didn’t need a check-up, Lin Fei did not insist.
“Qin Zimo, since you’re alright, I’ll be leaving now.” Lin Fei said and prepared to leave the room with Li Ke, Xu Wei, and Li Qing.
But Qin Zimo stopped him, “Lin Fei, can you stay a mont? I’d like to say a few words to you.”
Li Qing and Xu Wei’s eyes suddenly flashed with intrigue, envious of Lin Fei: Is swimming queen Qin Zimo going to confess to Brother Fei by asking him to stay alone?
However, Li Ke had a disgruntled expression: Why does this Qin Zimo keep clinging to Lin Fei? He’s treated her, yet she won’t let him off work, wanting him to stay and talk—how excessive!
Lin Fei looked at Qin Zimo, unsure what she wanted to say to him alone, so he said to Li Ke, Li Qing, and Xu Wei: “Wait for outside.”
Li Qing and Xu Wei promptly agreed with a grin and left, while Li Ke sulked, glancing back as she left, as if worried that once she left the room, Lin Fei would be dazzled by Qin Zimo.
Li Ke walked out of the room but kept her gaze fixed on the already closed door.
Li Qing and Xu Wei, knowing what she was worried about, exchanged a glance, with Li Qing eventually stepping forward to say to Li Ke: “Nurse Li, don’t worry too much; they might just be discussing treatnt or conditions… Nurse Li, why are your eyes red? I didn’t say anything!”
Li Qing hadn’t expected his comforting words to make Li Ke’s eyes redden, leaving him a bit at a loss.
But Li Ke ignored him, silently sitting on a chair in the hallway, sulking alone.
Li Qing and Xu Wei saw this and didn’t dare approach to comfort her, fearing they’d say sothing wrong and provoke tears, not knowing how to handle it then.
Inside the hospital room.
Lin Fei looked at Qin Zimo, asking, “Qin Zimo, what did you want to say to ?”
Qin Zimo raised her gaze to Lin Fei and said, “Lin Fei, thank you for treating , and I misjudged you before. I wanted to apologize!”
Lin Fei replied, “I’m a doctor; treating you is my duty. You don’t need to thank . Let’s let bygones be bygones as I’ve not dwelled on it.”
Qin Zimo nodded lightly and suddenly gazed softly at Lin Fei, saying, “Lin Fei, is what you said to that day true?”
Lin Fei was startled: “What I said to you?”
Qin Zimo blushed slightly, nodding: “Yeah, the words you said after beating in the swimming race on Founding Day.”
With Qin Zimo giving such a clear hint, even if Lin Fei were dense, he would realize she was referring to when he publicly told Qin Zimo he was her boyfriend.
Lin Fei’s heart skipped a beat, internally exclaiming trouble!
Could Qin Zimo have kept him behind to remind him of those words because she wants them to date?
Though Qin Zimo is very pretty, if he agreed to be her boyfriend, wouldn’t Li Ke, Yuan Yuxi, and Wang Yixin be furious with him?
Wouldn’t his senior sister demand accountability as well?
Love can be a double-edged sword, bringing possible hurt to others or oneself.
Just like how his senior sister deeply hurt his heart.
(Note: This will be explained later; readers will not have to worry about the protagonist liking other n or being cheated on, as his relationship with the senior sister will be happy and complete. Currently, the protagonist doesn’t know his senior sister likes him, and this is a forewarning for readers.)
Therefore, he won’t lightly fall for a woman, treating his feelings quite seriously.
So, Lin Fei said to Qin Zimo, “That day, your uterine fibroid flared up, and it was very dangerous. Yet you wouldn’t let treat you, so I said those words. If it made for a misunderstanding, I sincerely apologize.”
Qin Zimo’s expression subtly changed, showing she’d been inwardly struck.
Her lashes trembled lightly, mirroring her inner turmoil.
She just realized the first boy she liked didn’t return her affection.
The day after winning the swimming race, he declared in front of over ten thousand spectators that he was her boyfriend just to save her.
“Qin Zimo, I’m sorry, I have to leave…” Lin Fei slightly bowed his head in apology, then turned and left the room.
Qin Zimo’s eyes fixed on his departing figure, staring wide-eyed, yet couldn’t stop the glimring tears.
Bang, after the door closed, her gaze rely remained fixed on it: Lin Fei, you think you can retract what you said?
I, Qin Zimo, keep my promises.
If you beat in the pool, you’re my boyfriend candidate.
Moreover, she has truly liked Lin Fei now.
Even though Lin Fei already declined her feelings, she wouldn’t give up.
Just then, the door opened, and Qin Zimo thought Lin Fei returned, about to joyfully call his na, only to find her brother Qin Yunyue.
Qin Yunyue returned with so of Qin Zimo’s favorite dishes.
Seeing only Qin Zimo in the room, he couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Xie Wenbo?”
Qin Zimo replied, “He left, possibly went ho.”
Qin Yunyue frowned: Didn’t Xie Wenbo like his sister? Why’d he leave just because I went out for food?
Qin Yunyue placed the bag with lunchboxes on the table, opened it, passed his sister chopsticks, and said, “Are you hungry? Dig in!”
Qin Zimo nodded and started eating, but thinking of Lin Fei’s rejection, she wasn’t hungry anymore, finding the food tasteless.
“Sis, I saw Lin Fei leaving this room from the hallway earlier. Why did he co?” Suddenly, Qin Yunyue asked Qin Zimo.
Qin Zimo displayed a calm expression and said, “My uterine fibroid, he’s the one who treated it, just checking my recovery.”
Qin Yunyue showed astonishnt: “What? Lin Fei treated your uterine fibroid?”
Qin Zimo nodded: “Not only did he cure my fibroid, but I heard he also treated the old secretary of our Huannan Province recently.”
Recalling how he had earlier mocked Lin Fei in the hallway for not having graduated from university and might harm the patients, Qin Yunyue was instantly speechless with shock…
At the hospital parking lot, Lin Fei, Li Qing, Li Ke, and Xu Wei got into a black Bentley, with Li Ke telling Lin Fei about her mother and grandfather inviting him to dinner.
Unable to refuse the old secretary’s invitation, Lin Fei agreed to Li Ke, and the Bentley left the hospital for Li Ke’s ho at Chunhua Garden.
