Chapter 79 Someone to Marry
Looking at Yi Yunrui’s intense eyes, Xia Ning feels her mouth and throat dry. She swallows some water and opens her mouth and closes it again.
Yi Yunrui adds some force in his hands, “Call me Darling. Err?”
Xia Ning is stunned. To get what he wants, Yi Yunrui is trying pleasing and threatening.
“Darling.”
“Hum. One more time.”
“...Darling.”
“Good. One more time.”
Xia Ning is embarrassed. Is Yi Yunrui making fun of her?
“No more.”
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows and leans to kiss her. Xia Ning’s face is as red as a ripe tomato.
“If you don’t listen to me, there will be punishments.”
Xia Ning twitches her mouth. It is threatening.
“Can I object?”
“No.” Yi Yunrui says and gives her a quick kiss again on her lips.
Xia Ning widens her eyes. It is shameless, totally shameless!
“Don’t you call me Darling?” Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes with a teasing smile on his face.
“Darling!” Xia Ning responds honestly.
“Good. Remember to call me Darling from now on. Or, one mistake will result in a kiss.” Yi Yunrui pauses, “No matter where we may be.”
Xia Ning curls her lips. She didn’t realize that Yi Yunrui was such a domineering man...
“I want to see Baoer and Weiwei.” Xia Ning changes the topic.
“There is no need. They are looked after by others.” Yi Yunrui says and leans on the bed. He gently holds Xia Ning into his embrace.
“You!”
Xia Ning is shocked. Gosh. They are in the hospital. There may be people coming in. If someone sees ...
“Rui...Darling, we are in the hospital.”
“Hum. I know.” Saying this, Yi Yunrui holds her more tightly.
Xia Ning tries to push him away but fails. He leans on her and she can’t but blush and look at the ceiling helplessly.
It seems that the clingy commander is stickier than candies and it can’t be got rid of once being stuck by him.
He is said to be quiet, decisive and indifferent. She can’t find proofs for that here.
Xia Ning looks at the sky. It is dark. She says, “You are going to the Military Region. You should go to have some sleep.”
“It is OK. I will sleep here.” Yi Yunrui murmurs and closes his eyes.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “You will get a cold here.”
“I have you here. I won’t get a cold...” his voice is getting faint.
Xia Ning wants to respond when she hears his regular breath. She turns to look at Yi Yunrui and finds he is asleep.
Xia Ning’s heart melts. Her face is by his chest. With the sound of his breath, she closes her eyes.
In another ward.
“Why is it you?” When Li Baoer opens her eyes and sees Dai Zhongheng, she can’t help speaking out.
Dai Zhongheng lifts his eyebrows slightly, “Why can’t it be me?”
Li Baoer is upset. During this month, she has tried hard not to think about him. She is going to forget him gradually, while he suddenly shows up here in front of her. It seems her one-month effort is wasted.
“You...Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why do you come here?” Li Baoer stutters. Seeing his tall and handsome shape, her heart beats rapidly.
Dai Zhongheng glances at her, “Does it have anything to do with a girlfriend?”
“It is late now. You are with me alone here. Your girlfriend will be jealous.”
Dai Zhongheng frowns. When did he say that he had a girlfriend?
“When did I say...” He pauses here, “Ugh. It is not your business. The Commander told me to take care of you. I have to complete my mission.”
Xia Ning is helpless with confusion. What does he mean?
“Where is my phone?”
Dai Zhongheng is confused, “What do you want the phone for?”
“I want to call your commander and ask him to cancel the order.”
Dai Zhongheng is frustrated. He said decisively, “Your phone is broken. You can’t make the call.”
“Then give me yours.”
“...” Dai Zhongheng’s face darkens, “It runs out of electricity.”
“You!” Li Baoer widens her eyes. This man does it on purpose, “Which ward is Xia Ning in? I want to see her.”
Li Baoer says and gets up. Dai Zhongheng is shocked. He stops her with his big hands, “You are injured. Stay here honestly.”
“Let go!” Li Baoer shouts rudely, “Or, I will yell out.”
Not expecting Li Baoer will react like this, Dai Zhongheng is stunned blankly for a few seconds and he responds, “Seriously?”
“Try it!” Li Baoer widens her eyes. Let’s see who is more stubborn.
“I count to three. If you don’t let go, I will yell out! One, two, three!”
Hearing “Three”, Dai Zhongheng lets her go. Once he takes his hands away, he sees Li Baoer’s triumphant smile. Dai Zhongheng feels that his brain is in a mess.
He puts his hands on his waist and stares at Li Baoer. Li Baoer sneers at him. She uncovers the quilt and gets up from the bed.
“You...” Dai Zhongheng wants to give her a hand, but is rejected by Li Baoer’s stare.
Li Baoer carries the infusion support and is going to walk forwards when she suddenly feels dizzy and weakly sits down on the bed.
“Look at you!” Dai Zhongheng’s heart aches. He reaches to hold her.
“If you touch me, I will yell out.” Li Baoer is dizzy, but still she doesn’t relent.
“OK. I won’t touch you. Miss Li.” Dai Zhongheng roars. He turns back and doesn’t look at her.
“Hum!” Li Baoer stares at his back. She takes a deep breath and tries to stand up again, “Hey, which ward is Ning in?”
“The second one from here.” Dai Zhongheng petulantly replies.
Li Baoer carries the infusion support with her and walks slowly forwards. It is a tough task. She walks for about ten meters and turns back. Dai Zhongheng is right standing behind her.
The man has been following her all the way.
“Well, Colonel Dai, would you please find a phone for me? I want to call Xia Ning. Will you?”
Dai Zhongheng curls his lips and his face darkens.
“Hum, I am not going to beg you!” Li Baoer sneers and goes on walking.
After a while, she suddenly has a blackout and falls down weakly.
When she is going to kiss the ground, someone flashes before her and she is held tightly.
The masculine aroma gives her heart a shock. She stares blankly at Dai Zhongheng’s eyes.
She...loves this man, really.
But love...so what?
Li Baoer feels that her face is burning. She turns her head, “Put me down, or I am going to yell out...”
“I know you are going to yell out!” Dai Zhongheng shouts, “You are right. I am going to commit a discourtesy to you. So what? You may yell out!”
Saying this, Dai Zhongheng takes the infusion support over and holds Li Baoer back to the ward.
Lying in Dai Zhongheng’s embrace, Li Baoer is so nervous that she clenches her fists. Honestly, it is the first time for her to be held by a man in her life!
Her heart is beating rapidly...she is excited and happy.
Dai Zhongheng puts Li Baoer on the bed and covers her with the quilt. Then he sits by the bed.
The ward is quiet.
“How long...have I been in a coma?” Li Baoer asks in a weak voice. She turns her face away from Dai Zhongheng.
After the “intimate contact” with Dai Zhongheng, she feels that she is done, wondering how long it will take for her to forget what happened just now.
“Several hours.”
“How are Xia Ning and Editor Leng?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Baoer is shocked. She turns her face and asks anxiously, “Are they OK?”
“OK. Under care.”
Li Baoer feels a release, “What on earth happened? Was it a crash?”
“It is still under investigation. I will tell you when I know the truth.”
“No need.” Li Baoer curls her lips, “I will ask Ning.”
Dai Zhongheng’s eyes darken and his face looks cool.
“Will you come to my wedding? ...”
Suddenly, Li Baoer’s phone rings. The song It Is Sick is heard awkwardly.
After a few seconds, Li Baoer shouts, “Didn’t you say that my phone is broken?”
Dai Zhongheng’s face freezes. He turns to get the phone for Li Baoer.
“Liar!” Li Baoer complains and stares at Dai Zhongheng as an objection. She looks at the screen and can’t help taking a cold breath.
Her mother calls.
“Colonel Dai, please don’t speak. OK?” Li Baoer says mysteriously.
Dai Zhongheng frowns, but he nods.
“Hi Mom. Are you still up? Haven’t you gone to bed?” Li Baoer tries her best to make herself sound vigorous in case her mother will realize that she is sick.
“Go to bed? It is only a little past eight! Baoer, are you OK?”
Li Baoer is shocked. She is aware of the problem at once, “Oh, is it only a little past eight? Err, I am busy in the company and don’t notice the time. Mom, what are you calling for?”
“You are alone there. Take care of yourself. Mom is not in good health and can’t take care of you.” She pauses, “I am calling to ask about the blind date. Are you going to it?”
Li Baoer blinks her eyes. She glances at Dai Zhongheng and nods, “Yes. Blind date. Of course. What time will it be? I will make some time to go back.”
“Is it OK for you to ask for a leave?”
“It is OK. I am going to have a business trip this month. I can drop by B city. Does the boy mind me working in C city?”
“That boy is quite good. He and his family are nice. He doesn’t mind. Then can we plan it this Saturday?”
“Saturday.” Li Baoer thinks for a while, “OK. Let’s do it on Saturday.”
“OK. Then I will inform the boy. That’s all. Bye.”
She hangs up.
“Are you going to a blind date on Saturday?” Once Li Baoer hands up the phone, Dai Zhongheng asks.
Li Baoer hesitates. She is aware that the tone of Colonel Dai sounds really upset.
“Hum. The blind date has been planned for some time. It is just that I am too busy to go. I am old enough, not a young girl now. I am going to marry anyway. Or, after one or two years, no one will want me.”
Dai Zhongheng’s face darkens, “So, are you going to casually find someone to marry?”
“What do you mean by ‘casually’?” Li Baoer disagrees, “I don’t want to make it casually, so I am going to the blind date! Maybe I will meet the right person. Who knows?”
Dai Zhongheng freezes his face and doesn’t speak for quite a while. He notices that Li Baoer is sleepy. He can’t help asking, “What kind of man are you looking for to marry?”
