Chapter 136 - Freedom

Somehow when Zhou Qin Yang open her eyes, the first thing she saw was a white ceiling. She realise she slept so peacefully that she didn't remember having any dreams.

She turns her eyes towards the soft breathing next to her, raven black hair swept at the direction he is lying on. Zhou Qin Yang then turn to the sofa opposite her bed, a woman with a high end ponytail with her head tilts, lying on her shoulder, sleeping peacefully. Zhou Qin Yang then fully registered her surroundings, she is in a hospital. The conversation she heard last night wasn't a dream. The woman on the sofa is definitely Zhang Li Li.

Her body felt a bit rusty like an old robot abandon in the attic suddenly being force to move, she tries to lift her hand up and reach towards Lee Jun Ting's hair.

Before she could touch it, a strong hand swiftly grabs her wrist firmly. Lee Jun Ting shot up from his sleeping state and his eyes became alert by the silence movement. Jun Ting's eyes soften when he saw Zhou Qin Yang looking back at him "You are finally awake. "

"How long was I asleep? " Zhou Qin Yang's voice came out hoarse since she hasn't drink any fluids yet. Lee Jun Ting heard it clearly, he stood up and pour a glass of warm water for her " Almost 4 days"

Zhou Qin Yang frowns because she was lying down, she couldn't drink the water. A voice cuts in before she could ask Lee Jun Ting for help " You need to adjust her bed to a sitting position first."

Zhou Qin Yang tries her best to look at Zhang Li Li from her troublesome position, she could recognise that face anywhere. Her almond eyes are Zhang Li Li's best face features, Zhou Qin Yang were drawn to them when they first met them back in high school.

Lee Jun Ting slowly adjusts Zhou Qin Yang before handing back the glass of water to her, Zhang Li Li stares at Zhou Qin Yang. She could finally see her face, she kept a stoic face " Jun Ting, call the nurse and doctor to check on her condition."

Even without Zhang Li Li telling him, Lee Jun Ting already press the button for the nurse. Zhou Qin Yang clears her throat " Li Li... you look well "

" So do you. " Zhang Li Li replies back, she starts packing up her work on the table. Zhou Qin Yang didn't know what to feel, her heart felt empty seeing Zhang Li Li. She too is one of the people who got hurt because she left suddenly without a trace.

" I- " Zhou Qin Yang's words cut off, Zhang Li Li stood up and carry her work along in her arms. She still kept her expressionless face on " Save it for another time. You two lovebirds can talk to each other, I have work to do. " and walks out of the room.

The sadness and disappointment in Zhou Qin Yang's eyes could be seen clearly from Lee Jun Ting's angle, he pats on her head " She will visit another time. She is a busy woman. "

Zhou Qin Yang couldn't help but pout, she could only nod and hope she could talk it out with Zhang Li Li soon. She turns back to Lee Jun Ting and observe him from head to toe, she even saw the pile of files behind him " I was expecting worse but looks like you know how to take care yourself."

"What were you expecting? " Lee Jun Ting chuckles, the thought of seeing her again brightens up his heart.

" Messy hair, unchanged clothes, dark circles..hmm.. maybe you do have a bit of dark circles" she cups Lee Jun Ting's face, using her thumbs, she massages the eyeballs under his eyes. Zhou Qin yang was not wrong, Lee Jun Ting's condition was like that on the first day till Wu Feng Yuan scolded and nagged at him.

Wu Feng Yuan brought him extra clothes to shower and his work to distract him from being too worried, he even ordered take away, just in case he decides not to leave the room to eat. Thank goodness Lee Jun Ting didn't argue much and listen well to the end.

Lee Jun Ting held her hands and kiss them " I wouldn't want to make you worry."

" Hmm... but I am worried. I have been away from the desk too long. My work will pile up again, I need to discharge as soon as possible" Zhou Qin Yang sighs heavily. Lee Jun Ting's face hardens "Where do you think you are going? You just woke up and you are planning to work instead of resting? "

Zhou Qin Yang pouts her lips " I am fine now. I will rest for a week and go back to work."

Just as Lee Jun Ting was about to argue back, the doctor knocks on the door and enters " Miss Zhou, how are you? I came here to check on you to see if you are alright."

Zhou Qin Yang pushes Lee Jun Ting's hands away and nods. Lee Jun Ting stand by the sideline the whole time as the doctor check on her. After a few minutes, the doctor nods " You are stable now. You just need time to recuperate "

" For how long? Is a week enough? " Zhou Qin Yang questions and glares at Lee Jun Ting to not open his mouth. The doctor look at Zhou Qin Yang's chart on his hand " About 2 weeks. "

Lee Jun Ting cuts in the conversation without letting a chance for Zhou Qin Yang to speak " Thank you doctor. You can leave now. "

The doctor sweat nervously at the sudden order and nods, he quickly leaves the room. Zhou Qin Yang and Lee Jun Ting are the only one left in the room, both glaring intensely at each other.

" Don't be stubborn and listen to the doctor. " Lee Jun Ting fold his arms across the chest. Zhou Qin Yang felt like a child being scolded by a parent, she didn't back down " Even if I have to stay here for two weeks, at least bring me some work to do. It's too boring here !"

Zhou Qin Yang is originally a free spirited person, keeping her in a space for too long is like locking up a bird in a cage. ' Doing nothing while being here? I'd die of boredom !'

Both of them were still angry and stubborn but their eyes have already soften. Zhou Qin Yang then thought of Zhang Li Li words last night. She was right, it was too fast. She realise there are many things she had yet to learn about him and he doesn't know many things about her.

' Is this how are we going to be like when we get married?' Lee Jun Ting sighs at this frustrating thoughts. Both of them has yet to accept each other flaws willingly.

As if Zhou Qin Yang know what is Lee Jun Ting is thinking at that moment, she looks away " Let's hold off the marriage idea. "

"What? " Lee Jun Ting blinks as if he has been slapped hard in the face.

"I said let's call off the marriage idea. The engagement. Let's pretend it never happened " Zhou Qin Yang held her ring finger where her engagement ring suppose to be.
