"Thank You.."
Liu Wei s.h.i.+fted his gaze to her pale face. He saw her smile weakly and he nodded lightly in acknowledgement. "Are you feeling any better?"
Liu asked looking concerned. Liling nodded immediately, although she was not feeling exactly alright, she didn"t want to trouble him anymore.
"Do you still need the drugs or are you going to be okay? "
"I still need to take it, else the pain would return. But it"ll be in the morning, not now. "
"Mmm. "
Liu Wei didn"t say anything else. After a while, Liu Wei changed the heat pad, after sometime, Liling lost count of how many heat pads he had used on her and as her eyes became drowsy, she fell asleep.
By the time her eyes opened again, it was already past ten in the morning. She stretched herself on the bed and felt extremely relieved, feeling no pain at all.
Looking around the room, she couldn"t find Liu Wei, she figured that he might have returned to his room after she slept off. After staying on the bed for a few more minutes, Liling dragged herself out of the bed. As she was about standing up, she saw Liu Wei walking out of her bathroom.
" "
"What was he doing in my bathroom, don"t tell me... "
"Your bath is ready, and those are for you. When you are through, come down for breakfast. "
Liu Wei pointed towards the dressing table, that was when Liling realized that a strange bag had been there all the while.
She was extremely speechless.
Her boss prepared her bath!!
Liling felt as though she was dreaming. She remained standing staring at Liu Wei, or rather the spot he had stood as he walked out of her room.
After standing for a while, Liling dragged herself to the bathroom, as she opened the door, a rich fragrance obviously from sweet smelling oil and bubbles. .h.i.t her nostrils.
Liling looked at her bath tub which was filled with water still giving out steam, apparently because it was quite hot.
Those oils and soaps weren"t there before, it seems Liu Wei had gone out to buy them for her. Liling felt her heart melt at his kind and thoughtful gestures.
She took her bath hurriedly, stepping out of the bathroom, she walked towards the bag on the dressing table. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the contents.
Liu Wei had gotten several sanitary pads of different designs, the pain relief drugs she had talked about, then some chamomile tea packs.
Liling emptied the contents of the bag on the table, she awed at the number of sanitary packs he had bought for her.
"They could last her a whole year!"
"Was he this good to everyone? Or does he treat me differently? "
Judging from the past till now, Liling didn"t need a soothsayer to tell her that Liu Wei cared for her, but before she could dwell on those loveydovey thoughts, her brain quickly reminded her that he had a fiancée and her mood dampened drastically.
"Maybe he just cared for everyone that much, maybe that"s the way he is naturally. "
Liling sulked as she dressed up. Even if he was that caring to everyone, when he did those things, it made her feel important and somewhat special and the mere thought that he was already engaged to be married made her sadder.
She had to wait in her room for two more minutes to brighten up her face.
When she walked out, she didn"t find Liu Wei in the living room nor in his dining table. As she walked towards the kitchen, a sweet smelling aroma drifted into her nostrils.
"Has the good Chef returned?"
Liling was quite close to the Chef. He was not very young but he wasn"t that old either, maybe around his mid forties. Anytime she was free at home and he was cooking in the kitchen, she normally accompanied him. He prepared varieties of new dishes Liling haven"t seen or eaten before, so by helping him out, she learnt how to prepare a good number of delicacies.
Thinking that it was the good chef in the kitchen, Liling smiled and walked hurriedly to the kitchen. The door was open, she she just walked in and exclaimed loudly.
"Ah, good Chef, you came back quite early today, what are you prep... "
Liling"s words stuck to her lips when she saw the figure by the cooker.
Liu Wei turned to look at the intruder. His hair was dripping with sweat and he was as red as red can be. Putting on an ap.r.o.n, beside, on a dry surface area was his phone which he peeked at once in a while.
Many fruits and vegetables were still untouched, his red face made it clear that he was having a really hard time.
It was quite obvious, this was his first time cooking!.
