BXBX NOVEL Chapter 326 - Lovestruck Fool
Outside
"Where do you wanna go?"
"Wherever you take me," Yitian answered.
Thinking for a while, Liying answered, "It\'s already late so I\'ll just show you the nearby park today. Tomorrow we can go somewhere else—there are so many places you will love." Without waiting for his reply, she grabbed his hand. "Come lets go."
"Is your friend not coming?"
"Carl?" When he nodded his head, she answered, "He said he will stay back and help grandma."
"Who is he? I mean, how are you guys related?"
"He is our neighbor. His parents are always out of the country, he stays with a caretaker and a few helpers," she answered.
"I see." Contemplating for a while, he asked, "Are you two close?"
"Well, not really. I met him after coming here and we have become good friends by now."
Satisfied with her answer, Yitian smiled, "That is nice, it\'s good to make more friends."
"Carl is nice, you will like him too."
"I will?" When she smiled and nodded her head, he added, "What if I don\'t? I mean, what if I don\'t like him or we don\'t get along?"
"It\'s okay, I mean I can\'t force you to be friends with him. I will always respect your choice. And you being less friends with him will not make me less friends with you—"
"Am I just a friend?"
The sudden question startled Liying. Of course he wasn\'t just a friend, he was more than that but how could she tell him after everything that had happened.
Grabbing her hand, Yitian expressed his thoughts. "I know I messed up in the beginning but can we start again? And this time, not as friends but more." When she did not say anything, he added, "I can understand if you have changed your mind or—"
Cutting him off, she vigorously shook her head. "No, I have not—I mean, I also think we should make a fresh start."
...
Hospital
After seeing her parents, Ning was about to leave the hospital when she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Clutching onto her stomach, she sat on the nearest bench.
After a few seconds, the pain suddenly disappeared. Thinking it was nothing, she was about to leave when someone called her out.
"Ning—"
Looking back when she saw who it was, she quickly said, "It was nothing, I am completely fine. Please don\'t tell Yichan about it, he will panic for nothing."
Scrunching his brows, Muchan asked, "What? Did something happen to you? Are you fine?"
"Oh—" Realizing she had shot her own foot, she quickly tried to escape from the situation. "It\'s nothing, I will leave now—"
"Wait—" Walking towards her, he frowned, "Are you telling me what happened or should I call your husband?"
Helplessly shaking her head, Ning sighed, "It was nothing, I just felt this weird pain in my stomach for a few seconds and now it\'s gone."
"What? How are you feeling now?" Without waiting for her reply, he stated, "You know what, you should get checked."
"What? Why? I am fine," Ning retorted.
"Well, we never know and we can\'t take any risk. Your husband will kill me if he learns that you had some health issue and I didn\'t look into it."
"Muchan, how will Yichan ever know? If we both don\'t tell him, he will never learn about what happened," Ning sighed.
Ignoring her remark, he stated, "Just a regular checkup. I have to go for rounds but I will ask a good doctor to check on you."
Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed and followed him.
…..
Doctors cabin.
"Seriously I am fine, I don\'t know why—" Ning sighed.
"Well, a few normal tests won\'t harm right?" Checking her vitals, the doctor said, "Everything seems normal."
"See I told him I am fine."
"But still to be extra sure, shall we do a normal blood test? Is that okay with you?" When Ning nodded her head, the doctors instructed the nurse to do the procedure.
"You can collect the reports in 72 hours."
After thanking the doctor, Ning left.

Mo base
"What about that gang?"
"Hmm."
Raising his brows, Jason asked, "And what about the fish?"
"Hmmm."
"What about the mango?"
"Hmm."
"What about you?"
"Hmm."
Helplessly shaking his head, Jason sighed, "Linhou, what is the matter with you? Do you not want to work anymore?"
Coming out of his daze, Linhou cleared his throat. "I am sorry, what were you saying again?"
"Dude, just look at you—" Scrunching his brows, he asked, "Seriously, when was the last time you had a proper nap?"
When Linhou did not say anything, Jason got up. "That\'s it, I am going to talk to her."
"Wait, what are you going to tell her?"
"That is a lovestruck fool who is on a sleep strike because she isn\'t talking to you."
….
Kiara\'s room.
After learning about Linhou and Mary and how they had once kissed each other, Kiara was quite mad at him. In fact, she was more jealous than mad.
"Come on Kiara, I think you are overreacting now," Elizabeth remarked.
Closing the book she was reading, Kiara looked at her friend. "Wouldn\'t you overreact if Jason had something like this?"
"Oh come on, stop dragging Jason into this. We are not even dating and besides, I don\'t think Linhou did anything wrong. He just drunk kissed Mary once when you both did not even know about each other\'s existence," Elizabeth stated.
When Kiara did not say anything, she added, "People do weird things when they are drunk, you almost kissed me when you got drunk. Well, at least he kissed a woman."
"Haha, very funny," she snapped before throwing a pillow at her.
"Seriously girl, you are a mess and he also doesn\'t look good. Stop stretching a small matter so much. Relationships don\'t work this way, you gotta have an open mind to be in a healthy relationship. Well, if he had something like that while he was with you, I would have kicked his ass myself," Elizabeth explained.
"And I would help her out," Jason remarked before stepping inside the room.
