Chapter 2 if line: Doctor, your desire for me isn't obvious enough (2) "Turn around." Li Yuheng suddenly said.
"Huh? Boss, are we going back to the villa?"
"Or should I go back to your place?"
…
The car braked suddenly and swerved.
Li Yuheng grunted, his wound aggravated, and kicked the front seat: "Drive more steadily! I just got my bandaged up!"
"I'm sorry, boss!"
The villa was brightly lit.
Shu Bai sat quietly on the living room sofa, the warm light falling on his lowered eyebrows, like an oil painting.
Li Yuheng approached with a fierce aura and snatched the book from his lap.
"What are you pretending for?"
Shu Bai raised his eyes: "Mr. Li, I don't understand what you're talking about. Is your wound infected and causing a fever?"
"...Funny, who's the one with the fever?"
"...If you are not satisfied with the bandaging technique, you can say so directly."
"What I'm not happy about is you!" Li Yuheng straightened up, tugged at his collar, and said, "Pack your things and get out of here."
Shu Bai also stood up: "According to Article 238 of the Criminal Law, anyone who illegally detains another person or illegally deprives another person of his personal freedom by other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights."
"The day you kidnapped me, the intersection's surveillance footage was very clear."
Li Yuheng: "...Are you threatening me?"
“State the facts.” Shu Bai glanced at the bandage on Li Yuheng’s abdomen. “Besides, your wound needs a dressing change. Let me go now, or you’ll regret it if it gets infected.”
Li Yuheng stared at him for three seconds, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, you're awesome."
Shu Bai smiled and said, "Thank you. I've always been awesome."
…
Li Yuheng walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair, his bathrobe tied loosely.
He looked up and saw Shu Bai leaning against the headboard, her fingers flying across the phone screen.
"you--!"
The cell phone rang abruptly.
Li Yuheng answered the phone, and his underling's fawning voice came through: "Boss! That bastard who stabbed you has been taken care of. I guarantee even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!"
"Be quick and decisive, don't leave any loose ends."
"Don't worry! It's absolutely clean!"
Li Yuheng responded lazily, glancing at the person on the bed.
The other person calmly continued swiping their phone screen, as if they hadn't heard anything.
After the call ended, Li Yuheng suddenly leaned over and braced himself on the edge of the bed, his bathrobe collar wide open: "Did you hear that? I'm the kind of person who kills without blinking an eye."
Shu Bai finally put down her phone: "Then blink once so I can see."
Li Yuheng chuckled and reached out to pinch his chin: "Doctor, you've got some nerve!"
The moment his fingertips touched her skin, an image flashed before Li Yuheng's eyes:
In the dimly lit bedroom, Shu Bai was being passionately kissed by him as he pinned her to the bed, her fingers tightly gripping the loose sash of his bathrobe.
Li Yuheng: "..."
He suddenly sneered and let go of her hand: "What are you doing in my room?"
Shu Bai remained calm and said, "Change the medicine."
"Do I need to lie on my bed to change the dressing?"
"I forgot because I was playing on my phone. Is that not allowed?"
Li Yuheng loosened the belt of his bathrobe, sat down on the bed with a swagger, and said, "Okay, change."
"Didn't you need to change the dressing? Here you go."
Shu Bai's gaze lingered on his abdominal muscles for a moment before she picked up the first-aid kit from the bedside and began to professionally unwrap the damp old bandages.
The cool fingertips touched the skin again.
Images flashed before Li Yuheng's eyes in an instant:
Shu Bai was pinned against the bathroom tiles by him, the water from the wine soaking both of them.
Li Yuheng: "..."
Damn it, is this doctor's mind only filled with these kinds of thoughts?
"Doctor," Li Yuheng said quietly, "why are your hands shaking?"
Shu Bai removed the bandages with unwavering composure: "You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
Li Yuheng chuckled and reached out to grab Shu Bai's wrist.
The image is now clearer:
His wrists were bound with a stethoscope by Shu Bai, who was leaning down and whispering in his ear.
"Doctor, what do you usually use the stethoscope for?"
Listen to your heart.
"Only listening to the heartbeat?"
“Occasionally,” Shu Bai raised his eyes, “he would also listen to…the rumbling of his intestines.”
…
New bandages were wrapped around the patient, carrying the slightly cool scent of medicine.
Li Yuheng suddenly spoke, breaking the silence: "You lied to me before when you said your apartment lease was up, right?"
"real."
"Give me the landlord's phone number, and I'll help you renew your lease."
“No need,” Shu Bai said, bowing her head as she tied her bandages. “I prefer it here.”
"What do you like? Do you like being illegally detained?"
"I like that the kitchen stove here has a strong fire."
Li Yuheng stared at his fingers as he bandaged them, and suddenly said, "You have a crush on me."
"Isn't it obvious?"
Li Yuheng remained expressionless: "Not obvious."
Shu Bai paused in tying the bandage, then deftly finished: "Then I'm officially informing you now, I'm pursuing you."
Li Yuheng: "………Hehe".
The next second, he grabbed the back of Shu Bai's head and pulled him down, their breaths mingling.
Just as their lips were about to touch, he abruptly turned his head, his hot breath brushing against Shu Bai's ear:
"I forgot to mention earlier, doctor."
“Your desire for me isn’t obvious enough.”
Shu Bai's breathing suddenly stopped.
Li Yuheng watched his reaction with satisfaction, then let go of his hand, lazily leaned back on the headboard, and pulled the blanket over herself: "I'm going to sleep. Please turn off the light when you leave. Thank you."
Shu Bai gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Yuheng: "Hmm?"
Shu Bai fell silent instantly, pursed her lips, and finally turned around, silently leaving the room, gently closing the door and turning off the lights.
Outside the door, Shu Bai stood silently with his back to the door for two seconds.
Then, he suddenly turned around and silently threw a series of punches into the air.
His punches were fierce, each move carrying a murderous intent.
He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly:
"Li Yuheng, are you addicted to playing hard to get?"
"Why do they have to pull this 'kidnapping the doctor' stunt... Haven't they been doing it for a week already?"
"Is it really worth being angry for so long?!"
After finishing his punches, his breathing remained steady, only the blush on his ears from when Li Yuheng deliberately approached him in the room had not completely faded.
After straightening his shirt collar, Shu Bai resumed his aloof doctor demeanor, as if the person who had been violently boxing just moments before was a completely different person.
…
Li Yuheng leaned against the headboard, listening to the almost inaudible sound of fists outside the door, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He slowly picked up his phone and sent a message to his underlings who were waiting downstairs:
"Make breakfast more substantial tomorrow; the doctor has been overworked lately and needs some nourishment."
Five seconds later, Shu Bai's phone vibrated.
He looked down and saw a message from Li Yuheng:
"By the way, doctor, I could tell from your voice that your boxing form wasn't quite right just now, and your lower body seemed unsteady. I suggest you practice more."
Shu Bai: "..."
"Thank you for your concern. I suggest you take better care of your wound and don't laugh so hard that the stitches break. ^_^"
…
The next morning, when Shu Bai came downstairs, Li Yuheng was already sitting at the head of the dining table, with seven or eight exquisite plates in front of him.
He was wearing a silk shirt with the collar casually open, and was slowly and methodically poking at a fried egg with a fork.
"Good morning, doctor." Li Yuheng looked up, a bright smile on his face. "Did you sleep well?"
Shu Bai sat down next to him.
"Thanks to you, I had a nightmare."
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "What did you dream about?"
"I dreamt that a dog barked in my ear all night."
"What a coincidence, I also dreamed of a cat, which bared its teeth and claws at the air all night."
The servants kept their eyes down, not daring to utter a sound.
Shu Bai picked up the milk glass beside her and took a sip.
Li Yuheng suddenly waved to his underlings around him: "Get out."
The underlings were well-trained and immediately and quietly slipped out of the restaurant.
Li Yuheng turned to the side, rested his elbow on the table, and looked at Shu Bai with his chin in his hand: "Doctor, you look quite well-behaved when you drink milk."
Shu Bai put down his cup and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "You're quite adept at getting rid of people."
Li Yuheng leaned back leisurely, his arm resting on the white back of the chair, his posture languid yet full of control.
"Someone said they wanted to pursue me last night, I'm waiting to see, doctor. How are you planning to do it today? Send flowers? Write a love letter? Or..."
His gaze swept meaningfully over the pale lips. "...How about something more practical?"
Shu Bai swallowed the food in his mouth before slowly speaking:
"To win someone's heart, you must first cater to their preferences."
"Oh?" Li Yuheng became interested and leaned forward slightly. "Then tell me, what is my 'good'?"
“Your ‘goodness’ is,” Shu Bai put down his knife and fork, turned to look directly at Li Yuheng, “watching others agonize over you.”
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, signaling him to continue.
"So, my strategy is to make you guess."
"Guess what?"
"Guess what I'll do next, guess which of my words are true and which are false, guess... when I'll actually kiss you."
Li Yuheng's eyes darkened, and he tapped his finger on the back of the chair, smiling as he said, "Are you so confident that you can control me?"
Shu Bai didn't say anything, but quietly finished the remaining food on the plate, then picked up the cup of hot milk and drank it all in one go.
He picked up a napkin and slowly began to wipe the corners of his mouth.
Watching his series of actions, Li Yuheng's patience ran out. She tapped the table with her finger: "Doctor, did you not hear me, or are you pretending not to hear me?"
After wiping her mouth, Shu Bai gently placed the napkin back on the table before looking up at Li Yuheng.
The next second, he suddenly leaned in without warning, moving so fast that he only stirred up a slight breeze.
A warm, milky kiss gently landed on Li Yuheng's lips.
Soft, slightly sweet, and easily separated upon touch.
Shu Bai quickly retreated to a safe distance, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Li Yuheng.
Li Yuheng licked his lips. "Doctor, is this your 'playing to your liking' way of pursuing someone? A sneak attack?
"How was the result?" Shu Bai asked rhetorically.
"So-so," Li Yuheng deliberately nitpicked. "The technique is clumsy and disorganized, like a primary school student sneaking candy."
Shu Bai nodded: "Yes, it's because of a lack of practice. We'll get used to it after kissing each other a few more times."
Li Yuheng was amused by his self-righteous attitude. He leaned forward, getting close to Shu Bai, and lowered his voice, which was seductive:
"Want to practice? You can do it now. I'll reluctantly be your teaching aid?"
He waited to see Shu Bai blush or back down.
However, Shu Bai just blinked, her tone filled with innocent doubt: "Mr. Li, you're being so enthusiastic... could it be that you actually want to kiss me?"
Li Yuheng: "..."
“Me?” He chuckled and leaned back in his chair. “I’m just being merciful by giving you a chance because I feel sorry for you because you can’t have what you want.”
"Oh," Shu Bai responded, leaning back in her chair as he did, and said slowly, "Thank you for your kindness, but maybe next time."
Li Yuheng narrowed his eyes.
He stood up, looked down at Shu Bai, reached out and ruffled his hair, the gesture carrying a malicious intent to disrupt everything.
"Alright, doctor, you've learned how to keep people in suspense. I'll wait and see what new tricks you'll come up with next time."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Shu Bai, turned around and strode away from the restaurant.
