The Veterinarian (1v1) (H) - 25

Chapter 25 - Do you hate me? 

Bai Li was frightened, shouting something incoherent and shaking violently.

 

Shen An put her in his arms again, ran his big palms along her back soothingly, and said in a gentle voice, "Bai Li, take a deep breath, don't cry, breathe slowly, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale... …”

 

Bai Li subconsciously followed his instructions, inhaling and breathing slowly.

 

She sobbed a few times and finally stopped crying.

 

Shen An raised his hand to touch the top of her hair.

 

Bai Li shook slightly.

 

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." He stroked the top of her hair with his left hand, and patted her back comfortingly with his right hand, "I'm going to the city tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back tonight."

 

"Send me a message, okay?" he asked.

 

Bai Li remained silent.

 

"Do you hate me?" He lowered his head to look at her.

 

Bai Li lowered her head hard and covered her face with both hands.

 

Shen An ran his fingers through her hair, saw the small red ears, and couldn't help but lowering his head and kissing her.

 

Bai Li shivered involuntarily. She pushed him away tremblingly, ran into the room in panic, and closed the door with a bang.

 

Shen An: "..."

 

He stood at the door for a while, making sure that she locked the door, then knocked lightly and said, "I'm leaving."

 

Bai Li waited for him to leave before she fell to the ground. She tried her best to climb onto her small sofa, hugging a stuffed lamb and burying her face in it.

 

The phone buzzed a few times, and Dai Mei sent a message. She knew that Bai Li was afraid of receiving calls, so she basically sent messages.

 

Bai Li opened her phone and took a look.

 

Dai Mei asked her if she had gone home, and she typed a reply: [I’m home. 】

 

Dai Mei asked her where she was and why she was out so late.

 

Bai Li thought of Shen An, and then thought of everything that had just happened at the door. Her face turned red suddenly, and she tapped her fingers for a while before saying: [Went out for a walk. 】

 

"Have you eaten mooncakes? I bought you mooncakes and I’ll bring them to you tomorrow. By the way, there’s an urgent customer. I’ve sent the information to your email. Check it out and try to see if you can finish it within the next two days. I’ve already paid for it.” Dai Mei sent a voice message.

 

Bai Li thanked her.

 

Dai Mei asked again, "That person named Shen An, did he come to see you today?"

 

Bai Li's hands shook, and the image of Shen An kissing her was overwhelming in her mind. She almost suffocated due to lack of oxygen again. She covered her phone for more than ten seconds before replying.

 

Dai Mei sent another voice message.

 

Bai Li opened it and heard her say: "No way, you must have gone out with him today. Forget it, I won't pry. I’ve asked around. He’s heteros*xual and very popular with the ladies. But…”

 

"He doesn't have a girlfriend and is currently single." Dai Mei said with a smile, "Guess how I found out? I went to the Chinese medicine shop next door to him and asked casually. The old Chinese medicine doctor thought I had fallen in love with him. He boasted that he was in heaven and on earth, but to be honest, Shen An's conditions were good, but his family had no background. Fortunately, he had some money."

 

Bai Li never replied.

 

Dai Mei sent a voice message to ask again, with a teasing tone, "How was it? Do you like him? If you don't like him, I’ll take him."

 

Bai Li looked at the screen helplessly. She knew Dai Mei was joking, but she was still so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

 

"I’m kidding." Not long after, Dai Mei sent another message, "The old Chinese medicine doctor said that this iron tree is difficult to bloom. He haven't seen him have a girlfriend in many years. You should take it seriously."

 

Bai Li finally replied, with only three words: [I'm scared. 】

 

Dai Mei sent an emoji saying "Don't cry, don't worry." "What are you afraid of? If he’s a bad person, I’ll be the first to send him to the police station. If he’s a good person, it would be a pity if you missed out and...Bai Li, he knows you're afraid of the outside world but he doesn’t mind, right?”

 

Bai Li’s eyes became wet when she heard the last sentence.

 

She thought of the hug just now at the door, and of the man touching the top of her hair, with gentle movements and a low voice that had a reassuring magic.

 

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
