CHAPTER 148

Ning Xiaozhi kept on thinking about the fact that he might already like her. She felt giddy by this thought. Ye Chaoxiang cleared his throat again.

"Ahem. Your ankle. Let me see it," he said.

Ning Xiaozhi took off her shoes and raised her ankle to his awaiting hand. He placed her leg on his laps and examined it. It looked red against her pale white skin. He pressed it a little earning and 'ouch' from Ning Xiaozhi. He took another ointment and applied it on the place were she felt the pain and then he massaged it.

Ning Xiaozhi just admired the way he gently took care of her. She hd a dreamy expression on her face as she continued looking. After a while of massaging and packing up, he help her wear her shoe and placed her feet on the floor. He stood up and went to squat in front of her.

She was stunned. What is he doing now? This guy is full of surprises. He has been wowing her since their meeting this evening. The way he fought, spoke, carried her, attended to her and now this. He is a perfect example of a boyfriend material.

Seeing as his back did not have any weight on it, he slightly turned to look at her. He saw her surprised and confused expression. Is it not obvious that he wants to piggy back her?

"Well, what are you waiting for? Hop on and let us go," he said.

"But-"

"No buts. Just hop on," she heard him say. Without protesting, she hopped on his back.

"Hold on tight," he said before he stood up. Ning Xiaozhi gasped and tightened her hands around his neck.

"Do you intend to suffocate me?" He asked her. Ning Xiaozhi loosened her hands in his neck and muttered an apoplogy.

"Point out the direction," he said and pointed her finger forward and he started walking. None if them spoke. Ning Xiaozhi could feel heart heart pounding rapidly in her ears and the same applied to Ye Chaoxiang.

Ning Xiaozhi inner self was doing a happy dance for fulfilling one of her fantasies. While Ye Chaoxiang's inner self was raising a glass of champagne for his job well done of saving a damsel in distress.

After ten minutes walk, her house was now in sight. She sighed in relief.

"Don't you think that it is time to put me down? I weigh quiet alot," she mumbled.

"I know because I am the one carrying you. But I am way stronger than I look," he said.

"Did you just call me fat?" She asked in disbelief.

Ning Xiaozhi was not expecting that response. She thought he would be like those romantic guys that would say that she does not weigh a thing. But of you look on the bright side or deeper I to his sentence, he is honest and does not minds her weight because he is strong enough to lift her. She kept on assuring herself in her mind with these thoughts.

"Is this your apartment?" He asked seeing as she was lost in thoughts.

"Huh?" Ning Xiaozhi snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. She only heard his voice and not what he said.

He shook his head and repeated his question. "I asked did this is your apartment."

Ning Xiaozhi then looked at the house they were standing in front of. It is indeed her house.

"Hmm. It is. You can let me down now so that I can open the door," she said and this time he agreed and gently let her down. Ning Xiaozhi took the key from her purse and opened the door.

"Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee or noodles at least," she asked.

"If you do not mind," he said placing the ball in her court. She then ushered him in and lead him to living room. Ye Chaoxiang was impressed with her place and taste. It was not too qirly and it gave off a warm vibe. For someone who works as a waitress, this house is big. Maybe she has another job that pays well.

"Do you live alone?" He asked could not help but ask since he did not see anybody in the house. No one came to welcome her and all that.

"Yes, I do. Why did you ask?" She asked back.

"I just did not expect you to be living alone, that's all," he answered.

"Oh. Have a seat while I make the coffee," she said but Ye Chaoxiang followed her in the name of safety precautions. He sat on one of the tall stools and rested on the kitchen counter as he took in the appearance of the kitchen.

"You have a nice place," he commented to break the silence.

"Thank you very much," she appreciated. She quickly took out some veggies from the refrigerator and started washing and chopping. She was fast and he admired it. Soon enough, the noodles and the coffee was ready. She dishes out the noodles in two separate bowls, brought the coffee and passed him chopsticks.

"Thank you for the food," he said.

"You are welcome. Have a taste and tell me how it is," she said. Ye Chaoxiang nodded and dug in.

"Hmm. This is great," he nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Really? Yes!" She rejoiced making Ye Chaoxiang to laugh.

"Wow. I would never have thought that I delicate woman like you can cook," he said.

"Oh come on. I am not that delicate. Why do everybody think of me that way? It is so annoying," she groaned.

"But it's the truth and that is why you should not walk alone in a quiet street," he pointed out.

"That quiet street is always secured with cameras. I wonder what happened today. Anyway, I don't want to think about what happened back there," she said.

"Let's talk your name. I should at least know the name of the person that saved my life."
