CHAPTER 255
"Well, you are my baby now."
Choke
Cough Cough
Yang Chen and Ning Xiaozhi choked on their food while Ye Chaoxiang shook his head as he laughed. He was proud of his friend. Very proud.
Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang almost fainted from his words. Her stomach tingled with the movement of butterflies in it.
"He does not need to try or act and he is this cheesy,' Bai Renxiang voices out in her head.
"Wow! This guy is good at words. They just flow out immediately he opens his lips. Did you guys learn from the same teacher?" Ning Xiaozhi whispered so that only the guys seated at the table could hear her.
"What can I say? We are all naturals," Ye Chaoxiang whispered back with pride.
Li Fengjin could not care about those three at the table. All his attention was focused on the woman sitting in front of him now.
"So, would you let me feed you now?" Li Fengjin asked.
Bai Renxiang found no words to say as her mind was still dwelling on his words. She just opened her mouth like an obedient kid and allowed Li Fengjin to feed her.
"Good girl," Li Fengjin said and patted her head.

"What now? Do you need water?" Ge asked in puzzlement.
"I do. But what about you?" Bai Renxiang asked in a low voice. She did not want the others to gear whatever she said.
"What about me?" He asked.
"Are you not going to eat? You that I can't eat all of this," she said.
"Why are you talking in a bedroom voice?" Li Fengjin asked instead of answering her.
"I do not just feel like speaking loudly. You should do the same before you say something cheesy again and end up embarrassing me," she said and pouted as her eyes moved towards the table.
"Oh! Alright," Li Fengjin nodded in understanding. "So, you think my words are cheesy?" He suddenly asked.
"Where did you hear that from?" She feigned ignorance.
"You just said so a few sec-"
*cough cough*
"I need water," she acted to divulge his attention to something else.
"Oh! Sorry. Here. Drink slowly," Li Fengjin said as he held the glass cup close to her lips.
Bai Renxiang sighed in relief and smiled inwardly at her success.
"Are you okay now?"
"Hmm. Yes, thank you. You should have something to eat too," Bai Renxiang said.
"Alright," Li Fengjin said and are the rice he scooped for her.
"Gasp. You- What did you just do?" Bai Renxiang asked with her eyes wide as she stared at him in disbelief.
"What did I do?" Li Fengjin asked with an innocent and oblivious face.
Meanwhile, he was laughing in his head. He knew perfectly well what she was asking him about. But he still want to poke some fun at her expression and he was enjoying himself.
"Why did you... You used... That is my spoon," she stuttered.
"So?"
"Why did you eat with that spoon? I already used it to eat," Bai Renxiang said.
"Oh! That. Hehe he," he giggled.
"Why are you giggling? What is so funny about using someone else's spoon?"
"Nothing is funny if it were someone else which I would not do. But as far as it is yours, the woman I love, then no biggie," he explained.
"No biggie?" She asked with a confused face while staring at him.
"I mean, it is not a problem if I use your spoon to eat. Why? It is because I love you," he repeated.
Bai Renxiang averted her eyes from his as she caught her bottom lip between her white teeth. She swept a strand of her hair behind her ears to keep her hand busy as she felt shy under his intent gaze.
Li Fengjin smiled seeing her being shy at his words. He sighed and are from other dishes. Then he proceeded to feed her too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, he was surprised that she still used the spoon. He had thought she would still refuse to eat with that spoon. But seeing her willingly part her lips and allow the spoon to slide into her mouth made him happy.
'She is not complaining or feeling disgusted by sharing the spoon with me. Has she accepted the fact that she also loves me? If she has, I would be the happiest man on earth," he thought.
It was already around nine o'clock that evening when they all decided to leave. They had talked a little after eating. Bai Renxiang was happy they came to see her.
"Have a good night's rest, okay? I will come back in the afternoon tomorrow. Until then be a good girl," Ning Xiaozhi said while hugging Bai Renxiang. Then she placed a might kiss on her.
"I promise to be good," Bai Renxiang said like a kid.
"I will stop by too. But I do not know when. Just expect me," Yang Chen said.
"I will."
"The doctor and a nurse that came in to check on you will be here again tomorrow. But if anything goes wrong, press that button and they will come running to attend to you," said Ye Chaoxiang.
"Okay, doc. Thank you, guys."
"Alright. Good night, Bai Renxiang."
"Good night. Ye Chaoxiang, please send Xiaozhi home. I don't want anything to happen to her," Bai Renxiang pleaded with Ye Chaoxiang.
"You don't have to worry. I planned on doing so," he assured her.
Bidding their goodbyes, they left the room and closed the door behind them. The room fell silent and Bai Renxiang sighed. Then, she noticed that she was not the only one in the room.
"What are you still doing here? Are you not going home?" She asked.
"Do you want me to leave you so badly?" Li Fengjin asked back.
"No. That is not what I meant," she corrected.
"Then, does that mean you do not want me to go? You want me to stay with you?"
