Imperfect Desires

Chapter 770 Fish

770 Fish

Yan Ying looked at Dr. Ling who just came out of Xiu's room and made a disgusted face.

"If you're planning on visiting my patient, I'd suggest not to," said Dr. Ling. "They are both are about to sleep. And I really want them to have a good night's sleep. So, postpone this visit till tomorrow."

Ying sighed and tried to limp her way back. Dr. Ling went to stand before her and held her arms before pulling her on her back saying, "Ask for help if you need it. I don't mind helping."

"Let go!" gritted out Ying.

"Okay," said Dr. Ling, and dropped her. Ying fell on the sofa behind her and looked up at Ling Wanwan with furious eyes. "How come your eyes look so beautiful even when you're so angry?"

"Why do I feel like you became even more twisted after leaving the country for a few years?" questioned Ying as she settled down on the sofa.

Dr. Ling didn't reply to her but sat down beside Ying before draping her arm around Ying's shoulder saying, "Actually, I dropped you here because I wanted you to sit down with me as well. It has nothing to do with my crooked self."

"So, you do agree that you're crooked?" asked Ying arching her brow.

Dr. Ling smirked, "You and I always had a big problem, you had been compliant and I had always been crooked." Her eyes brightened as she added, "But the thing is, that's exactly what made our friendship so special."

"Friendship?" repeated Ying. "You threw away that friendship and ran away!"

Dr. Ling shook her head, "No, I didn't. I just for the first time chose myself over our friendship. I wanted to be selfish because you had been selfless."

"I really hate you," retorted Ying and Dr. Ling laughed out.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"Is that why you agreed to come? If you knew I'd be here, you wouldn't show up?"

Dr. Ling shook her head, "I'd still come. I had to come."

"Why?"

Dr. Ling pursed her lips before whispering to Ying, "How else would I get the chance to see the sun of my life?"

Ying's lips twitched and she picked up the cushion from beside her and started hitting her. "You! How the hell does this brain of yours work? Even now, you're after my Zizi? Dream on!"

Dr. Ling let her hit her as she kept laughing, "I'm dreaming on. It's not like I tried to do anything. And please, there is nothing wrong with what I said. Everyone has a reason to be here, I have one too. I came to find the warmth of my eyes."

"Huh?"

"Aiyo! Looking at that eye-candy brings warmth to my eyes!"

This time Ying took off her slipper but Dr. Ling stood up and ran away. Hiding behind the sofa, she said, "Hey! You can't change the weapon during the game. That's the rule of 1-vs-1 fights. How can you come to a slipper from a cushion? This is cheating!"

Dr. Ling held the cushion before her face and came out saying, "Why are you still so violent?"

"It comes naturally when I see your face," retorted Ying but in the end didn't really hit her with the slipper.

Dr. Ling sat beside her again happily and smiled at her, "It's good to see that your feelings for me haven't changed at all over the years." Seeing someone, she added, "By the way, that's some fish you caught."

Ying followed the direction of her eyes and frowned seeing that she was referring to Han Bohai, "Fish? He isn't a fish!"

"I didn't mean it literally," replied Dr. Ling. "He looked handsome on screen. How come he is even more handsome in real life?"

"You've seen his work?" asked Ying curiously.

"Of course!" replied Dr. Ling. "His acting is top class. Either he is born talented or his teacher must have been amazing."

"I think it's the latter." Ying took a moment and asked, "But is he really that good?"

Dr. Ling looked at Ying's expressions and asked, "Hey! You didn't even see any of your boyfriend's movies? Or shows?" Ying shook her head. "What kind of an insult is this? This is not how you're supposed to treat your boyfriend."

"Look who is talking," was Ying's scornful response. "You don't even have a boyfriend."

"Just because I don't have one now, doesn't mean I haven't dated at all. It's just that none of them lasted long." She sighed ruefully, "Someone was too short in size for my taste and someone was too excited for my taste."

Ying smacked her head, "What rubbish are you talking about here?"

Dr. Ling rubbed her head, "What are you thinking about? Too short means in size as in height! Too excited means, excited to get married soon! What vulgarity are you thinking about? What do you even think of me as?"

Ying cleared her throat saying, "Well, I don't think of you as innocent and pure for sure."

"And I am not," replied Dr. Ling. "You keep your precious title of being pure. I'm fine with what I am." She took a moment and asked, "By the way, what's your boyfriend's connection with the patients inside?"

"Regan is his boss I think, nothing else," said Ying. "Why?"

"He's been really worried about them," told Dr. Ling to her. "And he keeps coming back to check upon them. So, I actually thought he was pretty close to them."

"He is kinda close to Xiu," said Ying. "I think he is. But I'm not sure."

Dr. Ling sighed out, "I'm tired."

"Already?"

"I'm not tired of my job. I'm tired of seeing everyone's long faces around here. It's as if someone died. Can't you all smile a little? The patients need a better environment, not this depressing one. Even I'm getting affected by this mood."

Ying was silent for a moment before saying, "It's because you don't know what really is going on around here."
