The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love
Chapter 328: Always by your side

Chapter 328: Always by your side

A soft yawn escaped Jia’s lips as he eyelashes slowly fluttered open the next morning. But when a view of a manly chest greeted her eyes, she blinked twice. She traced her gaze upwards to meet the devil’s sleeping face.

Jia blinked twice again and recalled their game from last night.

Damn it, he won every single round, her heart still felt aggrieved from yesterday’s losses.

But isn’t this sleeping too close to him? Jia looked away thoughtfully. I think I was a little far away...He definitely played some tricks, didn’t he?

Jia looked back at Mingshen, who slept soundly without a care in the world. She stared at his face for a long time.

His face is really a piece of art. Even his sleeping expression is a beauty. I guess there is some merit in women flocking over him...

Jia began to contemplate the true essence of beauty in her philosophy mode.

If I click his sleeping picture and sell it on the internet, I will become super rich, right?

I mean some people can be so stupid as to cough out thousands of Yuan over merchandise and silly pictures.

But as a responsible police officer, I should not loot people’s hard earned money, she nodded to herself.

Jia slowly, very slowly, pressed her finger on the tip of his nose and lowered it. It made a funny expression on his face which made her chuckle. She then lifted the corner of his lips, making an eerie smile out of them.

Yes, this is the expression that suits a devil like him, she snorted.

Suddenly, a thought came across her mind.

Wait, is this sexual harassment? Taking advantage and touching a sleeping, defenseless man?

She stared at him.

Nah, this devil cannot be innocent and defenseless even in his sleep. Nope, just not possible.

...But even if he is not innocent, he can be thoughtful at times, she recalled his sincere apology.

Jia had not expected Mingshen’s apology after their confrontation outside Zhuo mansion. But when he said it, she felt as if some nagging, burdensome feeling was lifted off her chest. She couldn’t really imagine the space between them becoming awkward and silent because of a serious argument.

She withdrew her hands when another set of fingers caught them. Mingshen slowly opened his eyes, taking a good look at her soul that seemed to be guilty for some reason.

"The day finally came when you initiated to take advantage of me. Spicy, my heart tickles."

She smiled. "I can also make it tingle with pain."

"I am open to all kinds of pain if it’s coming from you," he grinned. "Tell me the truth, Spicy. What perverted thoughts were you harboring in your seemingly innocent mind while touching my nose and lips?"

"So you were awake?"

"And completely allowing you to harass me~"

She scoffed. "Who harassed who here? I don’t remember sleeping this close to you."

Mingshen raised his brow. "How is it my fault if you lost all rounds last night?"

"..."

He beamed. "Plus, your complexion looks quite better today. Is it the afterglow because of sleeping with me~?"

"...Please don’t utter such misleading words in front of anybody, especially Huojin."

He sneered. "It should be said exactly in front of him."

"How is your back now?"

Mingshen slightly turned to check and nodded.

"Oh great, it’s all better now?"

"I need another massage from you."

Her brow twitched and her lips curved into a sneer. "Don’t worry. Bojing will be right here to support you."

He pursed his lips. "But I want your massage."

"Right now you should worry if I will even give you breakfast or not."

"I vote for breakfast."

She snorted. "Good choice."

"I will eventually seduce you into giving me a massage as well later~"

"Dream on."

Jia got up, stretching her arms and letting out another yawn. The faint sunlight from the window cast a warm glow across her face, making Mingshen gaze at her mesmerized for a moment.

"...Yellow will also look good on you," he muttered to himself.

Jia paused and looked back. "Did you say something?"

"Do you know that you will look sexy in a yellow dress too?"

Ah and here his randomness begins for the day...

Jia had no clue where that compliment came from, nevertheless she accepted it. "Thank you."

He nodded sincerely.

Jia freshened up first and as she exited from the bathroom, she helped him stand steady on his feet. "Take your time. I will whip some breakfast until then."

He sheepishly grinned.

He wanted to comment that ’Don’t we look like a loving couple?’ but refrained from saying out loud to protect his Spicy-cooked breakfast meal from abandoning him into the void.

As Jia set the breakfast on the table, Mingshen arrived just then and took his seat. He relished the bite of the steamy dumpling and asked, "What are you going to do today?"

"Work as usual. I will be visiting Huayuan again. We need to find Yong as soon as possible."

"Why do you think she is still there? She might have already heard that you are looking for her through those guards. She might have left ages ago."

Jia had taken that into account but she wanted to be positive. "Doesn’t hurt to try. Though Zexi is working with her own investigation, I cannot just sit still and do nothing."

"I will come with you too!" He chirped merrily.

"You will be of no help."

"Moral support~"

She rolled her eyes.

Finishing the breakfast, Mingshen insisted on washing the dishes to which she vehemently disagreed.

"Don’t move around with that back!"

"I am fine now. Yesterday’s massage was magic~" he winked.

"Who was asking for a second massage just half an hour ago?" She dryly asked.

"Just trying out my luck."

She shrugged and let him be.

Why does Mingshen feel so...agreeable these days? Jia seriously wondered. Did he get enlightenment or something?

Once Mingshen was done with the dishes, he said, "I am going to the lab for a while. Are you heading directly to Huayuan now?"

"No. It will be in the evening."

He nodded. "See you then."

He went back to his own apartment to get ready for the day.

Jia stretched her arms. "Let’s get ready ourselves too."

She walked back to her own room and took out her towel from her cupboard ready to take a shower. From the corner of her eye, she noticed a piece of paper lying front side down on the bedside table, which she was sure wasn’t there until yesterday. She walked towards the table and picked it up, flipping it on the front.

Jia stared at it for a long moment, realizing that it was a prescription paper. Mingshen’s handwriting was inked onto it with prescriptions of her medicine. His doctor’s seal with his signature was neatly imprinted at the bottom of the paper.

Her hand trembled as she held it with a lump forming in her throat. It was the same medicine she so desperately wanted some time ago but which no pharmacy was willing to give her with an expired and crumpled prescription.

When did he write this...

Jia happened to notice a double layer at the edge and realized that there was another paper stuck on top of it. She separated it from her prescription and found a note with Mingshen’s handwriting once again.

’Do not hide your pain. Do not feel ashamed. You are as human as everybody else in this world. You deserve help as much as anybody else in this world. I won’t judge you. I won’t ask you anything. So don’t ever hesitate to reach out to me. I don’t care where I will be. I will fly all the way over to your side."
