"WAHAHA!"
"WHOOO!"
"FASTER! FASTER!"
"UWAAAHH!"
"Everyone, be careful!" Wang Jiexi, for the nth times that day, tried to warn his team sternly, but as always, with Fang Shiqian's lead, no one feared Wang Jiexi's authority and kept going.
"GOOOO!"
Wang Jiexi held his head on his palm as he helplessly watched his whole team disappeared around the corner with (stolen) wheelchair that they had found abandoned in the hallway a few minutes before.
Fang Shiqian laughed madly as his teammates kept pushing the wheelchair, which he was sitting on, faster.
"Look out!" The most junior one, Li Yihui, gasped and warned his senior as he pointed to the immersed team Blue Rain upfront.
"Stoppp!" Fang Shiqian commanded. Because of the suddenness, the people who were pushing the wheelchair as fast of possible actually tripped and instead sending Fang Shiqian faster upfront, alone.
"Fuuucckk!" Fang Shiqian cursed out. "Wait- Blue Rain over there! Scram out of the wayy!" Fang Shiqian panicked and shrieked to Blue Rain who was too immersed in their own hallway discussion.
"Get away! Get away! Get away!" Tiny Herb's people also shouted in warning.
Huang Shaotian, who was walking whilst thinking of a way to get close to a certain hot doctor in the medical wing whom he befriended a few days ago, dazedly looked up after he heard the distant shouts and yells. He just registered all of his teammates were already plastered to the wall.
"Incoming!" Fang Shiqian yelled.
"Huang Shao!" Blue Rain shouted for their baby boy that they forgot to evacuate along. Huang Shaotian stood there blankly, gawking like an idiot.
Wang Jiexi, who had just emmergerd from the corner to (horrifiedly) look at the mess his team (about to) make, stopped abruptly and snapped shut his eyes, knowing a tragedy will strike in a second-
*CRASH!* *Crash!* *DUAGGH!*
""Aaaahh!" Exclaimations and cries filled the air.
The culprit, Mr. Fang, and his victim, Mr. Huang, were sprawled on the floor in an unsightly manner. No blood sighted so it's either they're alright, or it's an internal bleeding.
"Fucking hell, what the fuck?!" Huang Shaotian groaned as he struggled to push himself up, of course with profanities flowing freely from his mouth all the while.
Normally, Fang Shiqian wouldn't tolerate such things, but because he was the one at fault this time, he simply grinned sheepishly to the rookie, "Sorry, sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it! You could have killed me!" Huang Shaotian said dramatically. In reality, the crash wasn't that bad at all, Fang Shiqian had timely jumped off from the wheelchair- forcing the speeding wheelchair back before they could crash on Huang Shaotian, whereas Fang Shiqian himself crashed onto Huang Shaotian. But truly, it wasn't that bad.
A bit painful but no biggie, in Fang Shiqian's opinion. So, Fang Shiqian rolled his eyes and stood up, offering his hand to the rookie, "Let me help you up."
Huang Shaotian looked at Fang Shiqian's extended hand, then to himself (Who was tragically sprawled on the floor), then looked at Fang Shiqian's hand again, a sliver of cunning idea flashed in his head as he grabbed the offered hand. But before Fang Shiqian could pull him up, Huang Shaotian cried out, "Aiyo! My waist hurts! Oww!" Huang Shaotian dramatically fell back.
Fang Shiqian and the others panicked. Fuck! It was that bad?!
Yu Wenzhou, however, only smiled boredly at Huang Shaotian's made-up drama. Seems like he's cooking something again.
"Shit, are you okay kid? You're not gonna be crippled right? Fuck, you're not that fragile right?" Fang Shiqian said dibelievingly, not knowing what he has to do.
"Knock on the wood! I'm a sick patient, why are you cursing me with bad luck, Senior Fang?!" Huang Shaotian wailed indignantly. "Medical wing! Get me to the medical wing, quick!" Huang Shaotian howled painfully. Yu Wenzhou's lips quirked up further, as expected.
"Okay, okay! Let's get you to the med wing," Fang Shiqian sighed.
Wang Jiexi grabbed the abandoned wheelchair and pushed it towards Huang Shaotian, "Get on, I'll also go the medical wing to give this back and offer an apology," Wang Jiexi said. This wheelchair had been abandoned in the hallway when his team found it and stole it for fooling around, when Wang Jiexi had only took his eyes off of them for five seconds.
Barely with the help of Fang Shiqian, Huang Shaotian jumped into the wheelchair, "Yeah, whatever. I don't care, hurry!" Huang Shaotian said in excitement.
Pushing the wheelchair, Wang Jiexi wondered if it's Huang Shaotian's first time in riding wheelchair too...
When they reached the medical wing, two nurses on watch duty greeted them, "Oh my, Mr. Huang, are you injured?" Nurse C asked in concern.
"Yeah- oww, Sister, is Old Ye inside?" Huang Shaotian asked painfully.
"Of course he is, Nurse Cai, get Mr. Huang to the emergency unit will you?" Nurse D spoke up gently.
"Let us escort him along," Wang Jiexi said calmly as Fang Shiqian faithfully tailing behind him.
"You don't have to, Sister Cai can push me just fine," Huang Shaotian said indifferently, "You can stay outside with my teammates to wait the news or just simply go away."
Stay outside with practically half of Blue Rain and get labelled as desperate guys by the pretty nurses? No, thank you. "I need to offer my apology to the doctor," Wang Jiexi raised his brows.
Nurse C then lead them all into the emergency unit, "Doctor Ye? You got a patient," Nurse C sighed dreamily.
The pros' lines of sight immadiately followed hers to find a young man, in pristine doctor coat, was currently writing something in his journal.
The young doctor looked up, and Wang Jiexi felt Fang Shiqian practically leaned and clung on him limply. Wang Jiexi would too, had he wasn't more dignified and elegant.
"Old Ye!" Huang Shaotian happily greeted the hot doctor.
Ye Xiu stood up, "Huang Shaotian? What's the case now? Headache because of oxygen-depravation again? Didn't I told you to lessen your talk whenever you felt a bit jittery?" Ye Xiu asked with a slight tone of amusement and exasperation.
"Not this time," Huang Shaotian shook his head. "This genius senior over here crashed onto me," Huang Shaotian pointed to the dazed Fang Shiqian, "My waist hurts~"
Ye Xiu hummed calmly (Damn, how could a hum could be so hot-), "Let's get you to lay down first," Ye Xiu offered his delicate hand to help Huang Shaotian up, but someone is even faster at receiving it, who else could it be if it isn't Fang Shiqian?
"I'm Fang Shiqian, pleased to meet you, may I know your name doctor?" Fang Shiqian introduced himself smoothly with his most winning smile.
Ye Xiu, flabbergasted at how his hand is in Fang Shiqian's, blinked rapidly before smiling back, "Pleased to meet you too, I'm Ye Xiu."
"Senior Fang, what the hell?" Huang Shaotian glared indignantly at the more senior player.
"I'm just introducing myself to a fair gentleman," Fang Shiqian said distastefully towards Huang Shaotian.
"Introduction is enough then! Shoo!" Huang Shaotian rudely slapped Fang Shiqian's hand away and grabbed Ye Xiu's dainty hand possesively and promptly pulling himself on his feet, a bit too smootly for a guy who just wailed about hurt waist a moment ago.
Of course Fang Shiqian noticed this, "You looked fine," He narrowed his eyes.
Huang Shaotian realized his mistake and promptly make himself stumbling right into Ye Xiu's arms weakly, "Ah-" Huang Shaotian weakly groaned.
"Careful," Ye Xiu said as he steadied himself.
"Sorry, I think I heard something cracked. Oh, Old Ye, Did I break a bone? Am I crippled forever now?!" Huang Shaotian wailed dramatically. Wang Jiexi and Fang Shiqian watched with annoyed glares as Huang Shaotian not-so-innocently circled his arms on the doctor's waist.
"Calm down, Shaotian. Walk slowly," Ye Xiu said and gestured.
"Yes," Huang Shaotian meekly agreed. The Tiny Herb's people gawked as the rookie leaned closer to Ye Xiu as they walked. How presumptous!
"No wonder Blue Rain had always been so frequent in medical wing," Fang Shiqian murmured to himself.
'They did?' Wang Jiexi silently thought and looked around. "Where's the nurse? Shouldn't she help the doctor?" Wang Jiexi wondered. Unknown to him, every nurses had agreed that whenever Huang Shaotian is 'sick', they'll let him get his way with Doctor Ye. Unexpectedly, the nurses who were originally Ye Xiu's loyal fangirls and admirers turned into Fujoshis!
"How serious it is?" Ye Xiu asked as he helped Huang Shaotian to lay down.
"Always serious if it's about you," Huang Shaotian said solemnly.
Ye Xiu ignored the obvious flirting and snapped his pen out to note things, "No, Shaotian. Let's start with a simpler one, was it hurt when you fall?" Ye Xiu asked professionally.
Huang Shaotian snorted in amusement, "Is that a pick-up line? Because I was totally hurt when I fell head over heels to you," Huang Shaotian grinned, the two from Tiny Herb were frozen because of his shamelessness.
Ye Xiu sighed tiredly as he unclapped his pen and put down the note, "You're alright then, I'll prescript some light painkiller for you. In the future, please be more reserved, I'm calling Yu Wenzhou-"
"What?! You can't! I'm still weak and helpless! Let me be here for a while!" Huang Shaotian protested.
"Huang Shaotian, you know I don't appreciate me when people didn't treat me seriously," Ye Xiu said a tad bit unhappily.
"Old Yeee, I'm treating you seriously! I swear I'll propose in the future!" Huang Shaotian whined.
Ye Xiu resisted the urge to facepalm, "That's not what I meant. I'm a doctor so treat me seriously, if you just come to fool around, you're not treating me seriously."
Huang Shaotian pouted, "But you were the one who told me 'you can always try', many people could attest! Sister An and Sister Bai, also the whole Blue Rain! You can't be pulling your statement now, do you?" Huang Shaotian whined.
Ye Xiu sighed in exasperation, he shouldn't have acted so cheeky when the rookie asked that ridiculous question. Now Ye Xiu is suffering from his own fault, additionally with doctor's codes ethnics, he can't kick Huang Shaotian nor banned him from the medical wing, besides the boy really never did anything wrong...
Aside for the excessive flirting that is. Ye Xiu initially found it amusing, but now he was just exaperated.
"Okay, you can stay," Ye Xiu sighed helplessly as Huang Shaotian laughed victorously. "Just lay down for a while."
"Would you lay down with me?" Huang Shaotian smirked and Ye Xiu shoved a pillow at his face, Ye Xiu then looked at the other guests he has.
"Is there anything I could help you with, sirs?" Ye Xiu smiled pleasantly but the untraceable undertone in his voice screamed 'Scram if you're done will you?!'.
Wang Jiexi pushed the wheelchair forward, "My team found this abandoned in the hallway and used it to fool around with. I'm here to give it back and offer my deep apology. If there's any damage to it, we'll take full responsiblity," Wang Jiexi expressed politely and sincerely.
Ye Xiu looked at wheelchair and smiled, "Oh, Thank you, one of our staff must have forgotten about it," Ye Xiu thanked him, politely reaching over to pull the wheelchair over. His hand brushed slightly against Wang Jiexi's hand. Wang Jiexi noted the pleasant cold feeling it left on the tip of his hand.
"And don't worry about it. If there's anything wrong with it, we could just ask for more budget to buy a new one," Ye Xiu assured as a cunning glint surfaced in his clear eyes.
"If it's like that, then, please excuse us," As Huang Shaotian is faking it anyways, they don't have any obligation to wait for him. In fact, Huang Shaotian seemed eager to see them out.
But before Wang Jiexi could turn around to leave, Fang Shiqian grabbed his arm urgently, "Captain Wang, wait!" Fang Shiqian's overly polite tone did not bode well for wang Jiexi.
"Why don't you consult about your eye problem with Doctor Ye Xiu here?" Fang Shiqian blurted out and Wang Jiexi stared at him blankly in a well-hidden disbelief.
Ye Xiu blinked and gazed at Wang Jiexi's uneven eyes, which was truly eyecatching. Huang Shaotian choked.
"You have a problem with your eye?" Ye Xiu asked curiously at Wang Jiexi, whose eyes twitched.
Wang Jiexi glared at the Palladin player, as harshly as he could manage, Fang Shiqian simply looked away with tongue sticking out, unrepentant. "No matter what they said about my eye, I'm not sick," Wang Jiexi emphasized to his teammate lowly to Fang Shiqian but Ye Xiu could still heard it.
Ye Xiu snorted, "It's fine Captain Wang, no need to take their joke seriously," Ye Xiu chuckled in amusement. The two from Tiny Herb got dumbstruck at this, oh no... the hot doctor laughed...
Ye Xiu looked at Fang Shiqian, "Senior Fang too, you shouldn't make it difficult for your younger captain," Ye Xiu said. Overwhelmed aof being called 'Senior Fang' by the (Maybe older, definitely older, no doctors should be younger than twenty) doctor, Fang Shiqian forgot his 'wrongdoings' (Not that he'll ever acknowledge it-) and fell into daze again.
Wang Jiexi knew he's screwed. Not only his senior had completely lost it, he was also close especially after Ye Xiu's laughter earlier. Damn, what's wrong with gentle, young and handsome doctor with their handsome laughter?
It's totally unfair, Wang Jiexi stood no chance at all...
"To be honest it feels a bit prickly sometimes," Wang Jiexi is quick to change his stance and strike up a consultation instead. Huang Shaotian choked again.
Alright, there is my revised Tiny Herb's chapter of Paved Way.
Unless you can trick me... We'll see far in the future chapter. Tell me your thoughts! Should I keep it up and hung on the sliver of my muses which is in ruin (Don't ask, They're very moody right now. Typing this alone had gained me countless feral growls), is it good? Bad? Or was it just me reading my own stories and have no other readers? Who knows?
