The next day, Jiang Yang went to check on Song Meilin. Nixxxie’s face was shining brightly to see him and her mother didn’t fail to see how her daughter’s site was following him without missing for a single moment.
Jiang Yang did the check-up routine, asking a few questions to song Meilin about how she was feeling and is there any problem she had. He was being in his doctor’s form that he didn’t look at Nixxxie even once. Till now Nixxxie understood he won’t give attention to anything when he is doing his job as a doctor and she found it attractive.
Song Meilin looked at him who was busy noting down the things in her record file. "I didn’t see you here for long, Doctor Jiang Yang," Song Meilin asked
"I was busy with other things, Mrs. Xi. Important surgeries, but I hope other doctors took care of you properly," he replied.
Song Meilin nodded, "Hmm! They did."br>Jiang Yang spoke again, "Your condition is stable and better now so in a few days you will get a discharge."
"Good to know it."
Finishing his work, Jiang Yang passed his sight across Nixxxie and left the room. Soon it was lunchtime and the nurse was helping Song Meilin to eat food.
Seeing her daughter, sitting quietly and not having her lunch, song Meilin asked, "Why are you not having lunch, Nicky?"
"Umm...Mom...I am not hungry yet. I will have a lunch in some time," She replied.
Once Song Meilin finished her lunch and nurse left, she asked, "Nicky, What’s the matter?"
Being startled with her mother’s question, Nixxxie looked at her, "Nothing mom, it’s just ...." She didn’t know what to say to her mother.
"Tell me."
"Doctor Jiang Yang asked me for lunch together so...." She stopped.
"Then?" Song Meilin was waiting for her to say further.
"Mom, he is your doctor so I said yes," Nixxxie replied hesitantly.
Hearing it Song Meilin smiled, "So why are you sitting here? Go."
Nixxxie looked at her mother in a surprise.
"Even if you are not hungry, Doctor Jiang Yang must be starving as he is working hard to treat patients like me. You should not keep him waiting."
Nixxxie didn’t know what to say to her mother and stood from her place, thinking her mother’s words as her approval, "I will be back in some time."
Song Meilin nodded with a smile on her face as giving her permission.
Her daughter was grown up now. Till now she lived her life maintaining certain limits but how she was behaving at the moment was a normal thing to happen with a girl of her age. Understanding her daughter’s feelings, she didn’t want to stop her. For Song Meilin, her daughter had a right to live her life the way she wanted just like the other girls of her age.
Nixxxie went to Jiang Yang’s cabin where he was waiting for her. "Glad to see you here."
Nixxxie didn’t talk much and stepped towards the table. Jiang Yang stood up from the table and went to her. Holding her hand he took her to another door in his cabin.
Nixxxie was startled with a sudden touch from him to hold her hand but she followed him without saying a single word.
Behind the door, there was a small room for him to rest whenever he is tired after the surgeries he performed
It was not a big place. A small and cozy one with a small bed, only one person could sleep on it. There was a two-seater tiny coffee table, a small one door wardrobe to keep his essential clothes and doctors’ aprons. The coffee table was beside a glass window through which one could see the outside view while sitting there sipping a coffee.
When they entered inside, food was already there on the table, in packed parcels.
Letting her hand go, Jiang Yang went to the coffee table and pulled out one chair for her, "Well this is not my home so I hope you are fine with me calling you for lunch to this tiny room."
"No. It’s fine." Saying it she walked towards the table which was just three steps away from her as the room was small. She sat in the chair.
Jiang Yang sat in the other chair and started to unpack the food. "It’s hospital food so you have to bear with it."
"It’s not that bad. I am eating it for long now." Nixxxie was feeling comfortable now and she was talking without any hesitation. It was in Jiang Yang’s personality to make anyone comfortable around him.
Though being a daughter from a rich family and living a luxurious lifestyle, she found it amusing to be in this tine place for lunch. She had never done this before. She helped Jiang Yang to unpack the food.
Unpacking the last container, he said, "Well, there is no dish here to serve food, so we have to share food in one container and I hope you are fine with it."
Nixxxie was hesitant but said yes, "it’s fine."
"Gosh, there are so many things you have to adjust here with me and I had to ask you every time the same thing, ’I hope if you don’t mind’."
"No really. It’s fine. I can share in one bowl," she replied.
"Hmm! After sharing a kiss, anyways it’s not a big deal to eat in one dish or a bowl." He said while passing chopsticks to her.
Without reacting to it, she accepted the chopsticks and looked at the food. She avoided looking into his eyes while Jiang Yang was looking at her with a smile on his face and admiration for her in his eyes.
"Shall we start?" he asked.
"Hmm!" she nodded.
Having a few bites in silence and not talking much, Jiang Yang decided to break the silence, "About that kiss."
Nixxxie stopped eating and gulped while looking down, avoiding to look at him.
Jiang Yang continued, "That kiss. You didn’t stop me."
