BXBX NOVEL Chapter 400 Ganging Up On Me
I stuck out my tongue and refused to say anything else.
Bin An Sha looked up between me and Wang Chao before turning his attention back to me. "Would you care to explain?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. His angular face fought back a smile as some strands of black hair fell forward, obscuring his light brown eyes. There was a scar that ran down the left side of his face, but it didn't detract from his beauty, more like emphasized it.
"Nope," I replied, dropping my gaze to his scar-filled hands. It was clear that he was more than just a doctor. Well, unless he was a shitty doctor that managed to cut himself instead of his patients, however, I just couldn't see that.
"Pity," he said, smirking at me. "I almost envy Wang Chao for knowing what is going on in your mind at all times."
"You really should," chuckled Wang Chao causing me to roll my eyes.
"I take it you are a doctor?" I asked, trying to change the subject away from the thoughts in my head. As a permanent resident, even I could admit that some of them were just plain weird.
"Doctor, surgeon, psychologist, healer. I am whatever you need me to be, Precious," he assured me as he put away his stethoscope. "Whatever you need me to be," he repeated, his light brown eyes staring into mine.
Before I could even think of a reply, he placed one hand on my forehead and another on my right shoulder and closed his eyes. I could feel a warm green flame circulating around inside of me, briefly stopping at the crystal core holding mine and my men's flames, before continuing on its path.
I could feel myself relaxing as the flame continued on its journey. It felt warm, like a spring day. I took in a deep breath, and I could swear that I could smell flowers.
Opening my eyes, I looked up at him, surprised at how close his face was to mine.
"Is there any room in there for me?" he asked softly before he stood up and walked away.
I looked at Wang Chao in confusion, not understanding what the other man was asking. He simply smiled at me and kissed my head. "Only you can answer that question," he replied with a smile on his face.
"She is completely healed; I see nothing wrong with her internally. However, she could do with some more sleep and less coffee," said Bin An Sha from where he stood near the door.
"Nothing wrong with her? Have you checked her head?" smirked Liu Yu Zeng as he came barrelling into the room, past Bin An Sha, and dived onto the bed beside me. "Morning, Sweetness, we missed you," he said as he leaned over and gave me a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Did you just say that there is something wrong with my head?" I demanded, giving my joker my best glare.
"No," replied the man as he shook his head at me. However, the effect was ruined when he turned to Bin An Sha and comically started to nod his head. "You are definitely not the one that crashes if you have too much coffee," he continued.
"Actually, it is fairly normal for a cup of coffee to put you to sleep more than it wakes you up," said Bin An Sha, coming back towards the bed. "Research has shown that people who regularly drink coffee and have increased number of adenosine receptors and therefore are more sensitive to the effects of adenosine within their system."
"Huh?" asked Liu Yu Zeng, looking between me and Bin An Sha. "Did you understand any of that?"
I shook my head no. I knew that he was talking about me because, let's face it, I regularly drink coffee, but the rest flew right over the top of my head.
"He is saying that the body naturally produces adenosine to make you feel tired and regulate your sleep cycle. Caffeine can bind to those receptors, preventing someone from feeling their effects; however, once the caffeine wears off, she would feel twice as tired," said Liu Wei as he walked into the room and nodded at Bin An Sha
"It could also be a result of a high sleep debt," continued Bin An Sha. "In this case, if you are not getting the appropriate amount of sleep every night, your body will crash, whether you are injecting caffeine or not."
"Yeah, that one is definitely Princess," chuckled Chen Zi Han as he entered my room and closed the door behind him.
"I don't know how I feel about you ganging up on me like this," I grumbled, looking at the five men.
"Oh, I can promise you, you will love us ganging up on you," whispered Liu Yu Zeng as he started to nip and kiss my neck.
"Down, boy," I joked as I pushed his head away. I briefly looked at Bin An Sha. There was something pulling me to him; I could fully admit that. However, I literally just met him a matter of minutes ago. There was no way I was going to put on that much of a show.
"Now, where are we? Where is Lonnie and the others? What are we going to do next? Where are we going?" I asked all my questions at once, just so I didn't forget something important I wanted to ask.
"We are in a hotel just outside of the Naval base. I thought that you would probably not want to spend any more time than absolutely necessary there. I don't know who Lonnie is, but the Country M soldiers are occupying the base until they figure out where they want to go in the future. You can pick what we are going to do next, and the 'where we are going' is also included in that. Dealer's choice," said Wang Chao answering all of my questions at once.
