Chapter 87 Sick
"Is that a suggestion babe? Do you seriously want us to live together? Wen Shaoming asked with wide eyes.
"Wow! I mean, we can move in together. My mum will really not mind me staying with a pretty lady. Afterall I am old enough to take care of myself and you too," he continued.
Bei Suzy groaned in frustration. Maybe she should not just speak at all. This guy sure knows how to use her words against her. With that thought in mind, she ran off to get a table, living Wen Shaoming to his plans and Bai Renxiang to listen to it.
"Hey. Babe, wait up. Let us plan things out. I will do whatever you want," Wen Shaoming shouted as he ran after her towards their table.
Bai Renxiang just shook her head at their display. She took a few sips from her hot chocolate before focussing on work.

Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi woke up feeling sickly. Her body was burning. As she is living alone, no one can take care of her.
She has to care of herself by herself. She groaned in pain as her head throbbed painfully. She removed the plain white sheet covering her body and slipped out of her large bed with great difficulty.
Ning Xiaozhi rarely falls I'll. But once she does, it will be severe.
She made her way to the door by the left side of her bed while leaning on the wall for support. She got into the bathroom, filled the bathtub while brushing her teeth. She removed her clothes and stepped into the tub.
Ning Xiaozhi shivered once her skin made contact with the cold water in the tub. She tried to wash herself and got out of the tub.
Drying her body and her hair, she put on casual black jeans and a black top and a grey hoodie, pair of black socks and snickers to reduce the cold she was feeling.
Placing her phone in her purse, she left the house not caring to eat because of her lack of appetite.
Ning Xiaozhi flagged down a cab after standing outside for about ten minutes.
"Good morning. Where to miss?" The driver asked once she was settled in the car.
"Good morning. The location is City S hospital. Please hurry up," Ning Xiaozhi closed her eyes as she rested her head on the headrest after giving out the location of where she wanted to be transported to.
It took the cab driver an hour and thirty minutes to reach the hospital as the traffic today was heavy and her house is far from the hospital.
"Miss, we have arrived at the hospital as per the location you gave," the driver called out as he looked at the rearview mirror.
Ning Xiaozhi opened her eyes at the sound of the driver's voice. She looked out her window to see that they had indeed arrived. Looks like she fell asleep. She alighted from the cab, paid the driver and walked into the hospital.
Ning Xiaozhi went straight to the receptionist to make an appointment to see a doctor.
"Good morning," she greeted the elderly nurse behind the counter table.
"Good morning. How may I be of help?" The woman asked with a polite smile on her face.
"Can I get an appointment to see a doctor?" Ning Xiaozhi's voice came out light.
"Sure you can. Your name and date of birth, please," the nurse said as she began typing something on the keyboard in front of her.
"My name and s Ning Xiaozhi. I was born May 12, 1998," she said. After the woman typed for a while, she raised her head from the computer screen she was looking at and gave Ning Xiaozhi a card.
"You can wait on the third floor. You will be able to see the doctor there," the nurse said.
"Thank you," Ning Xiaozhi said before she headed towards the elevator.
Fortunately for her, when she got to the third floor, about five to seven people were waiting to see the doctor on duty. She sighed in relief. At least she will not have to wait for long before she can see the doctor.
She asked for the last person so that she could know where to seat and whom to go after to see the doctor.
While she was waiting, she delibated on the idea of whether to call her best and only friend, Bai Renxiang.
'What if she is in the middle of something important?' She muttered to herself.
'I can never know if I do not try, right? If she is busy, she can just decline my call but if not, then I am lucky,' she thought to herself.
She punched on a series of numbers after deciding to call her. After the first two rings of the call, Bai Renxiang's voice sounded from the others end of the line.
"Hell,o Xiaozhi. Good morning and how are you? Why did you call?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Hello, Rennie. Were you busy? Did I disturb you?" Ning Xiaozhi guilty asked.
"No, you did not disturb me. Hey, is something wrong? Why do you sound so down?" Bai Renxiang asked out of concern.
"I am not fine, Rennie. I think I have a fever and my head aches so bad. I feel like dying," she whined.
"O,h dear. Are you at home? Do you want me to send Shane over to take you to the hospital?" Bai Renxiang asked in a frenzy.
"No need for that. I managed to get myself to the hospital. There is no need to disturb our little Shane. I am currently waiting for my turn to see a doctor," Ning Xiaozhi said.
"That is great. Did you eat anything before you left the house?" Bai Renxiang asked her suspiciously. She knew her best friend is fond of avoiding food when she is sick. Ning Xiaozhi will not take anything unless she is forced to. Such a stubborn woman needs an iron hand.
