31 Chapter 31- Better Days

Xiaxia almost lost her appetite after that 'incident'. But seeing the vast sky and big full moon above them, her fume toned down a bit.

I still hate this freaking jerk god.

The dinner was so satisfying that she just wanna lay down in bed again and sleep. The breeze is as cold as ever but with the jerk god's coat on her shoulder and of course the hotpot, she felt warm.

It's a very nice dream to have this kind of moment with someone you love. But this is her patient and she has not interest in men, for now. And for women, either. Maybe, love is not for her and she's meant to treat other person, but not herself. Maybe it's her fate.

Sigh.

"Don't you know that it's a disgrace to sigh infront of your food?" a certain jerk god spoke as he wiped his lips gently.

"You carried me back to my room, didn't you?" she asked suddenly.

So straightforward. Ahhh wifey, I like that. Maybe you should as me to kiss you again just like that. Hahaha.

"Yes. You're too thin. Eat more." She felt the care in his voice but it's nothing to her.

"And work more next week"

"..." So that's why...

They continued to banter from time to time but Xiaxia appreciated this. She can tell that Mo Zhaoshan is somehow making her forget about the world for a while.

He doesn't need to. He is my patient. I'm his doctor. I'm being paid. I should be the one treating him, not the other way around.

But somehow deep inside, she felt touched that even a stranger could at least care about her. The care that her 'long time' friends never gave her.

Mo Zhaoshan asked the maid to serve some tea after their food.

"Dr. Bai... do you...at least... trust me?" he suddenly said while looking from afar.

"Trust you? For what?' she looked at his side face and waited for him to answer. He turned to her and smiled amicably.

"That I can help you?" he asked in a soft voice. She was a bit moved by his question. He will help me, of course he can.

"I trust that you can help me. However..." she paused a bit.

"Would you?", I can't place my expectation on someone. I know he's telling the truth. He faced me directly without batting his eyes and the calmness in his voice tell me so.

He smiled again and never avoided her eyes.

"I can, I would, I will and I am."

I am? What does he mean?

Her questioning eyes made Mo Zhaoshan chuckle.

"From now on, focus more on working for me. After all, the contract says, 30 years old which is four years from now. Age can't be helped, yeah?"

Made sense.

She smiled to him and on that moment, the cold stone diety smiled amicably to Mo Zhaoshan.

I'll give it a chance then.

"Then I'll have to thank you in advance, President Mo." she said in a friendly way and bowed a bit.

"Too early to thank me, Dr. Bai. Everyone reaps what they sow. Good and bad, both has their own karmas. Be it tomorrow, the next day, the next month or even after reincarnation. Justice seeks its own vengeance."

Her heart calmed down by his words. Who would have thought that he has this kind of self. Just how many persons are living inside this god?

"En." then they continued enjoying their tea while looking at a far distance of the horizon in silence.

Retreat to build strength. To surrender is to declare defeat. I, Bai Xia, will soon get back what originally belongs to me. Better days are coming.
