All the Female Protagonists Who Have Been Saved Have Become Obsessed [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 22

Three days later, Zhou Xi learned that Chunshui had booked a ticket for her.

Huang Xiaoyun came to deliver the ticket to Zhou Xi with a beaming smile.

“Doctor Zhou, have you packed your luggage? We’re flying to Spain together.”

Zhou Xi was completely confused, “Spain? What for?” Her hand rested on the door, her face full of bewilderment.

Huang Xiaoyun was surprised, “Didn’t the boss tell you, Doctor Zhou? We’re going to Spain for an international film festival.”

Zhou Xi knew where Chunshui was going, but not from Chunshui herself. The system told her that Chunshui’s movie was nominated for the main competition at the San Sebastián International Film Festival and had a high chance of winning.

But Zhou Xi didn’t know she was supposed to go to the film festival with Chunshui.

No, Chunshui hadn’t discussed this with her at all! Not once! She just decided Zhou Xi’s plans on her own!

Zhou Xi’s anger flared, rushing straight to her head.

She gritted her teeth, forcing a smile full of rage, “So that’s how it is!”

Huang Xiaoyun stepped back, startled, but saw Zhou Xi snatch the plane ticket from her hand, slam the door, and storm out of the office.

Her demeanor didn’t seem excited—it looked like she was going to pick a fight.

So, the boss and Doctor Zhou hadn’t discussed going to Spain?

Then why did she ask her to deliver the ticket?

Huang Xiaoyun stared blankly at the door of Doctor Zhou’s office, completely unable to guess her boss’s intentions.

Zhou Xi clutched the plane ticket, growing angrier the more she thought about it.

She stormed straight into Chunshui’s hospital room.

“When did I ever agree to go to Spain with you?!” Zhou Xi roared.

Chunshui was in the middle of rehab.

The rehab doctor kept adjusting the weight on the equipment, gradually increasing it to help her legs adapt to the pressure. Sweat soaked the floor, her chest stained with large patches of sweat, her entire body looking like it had been pulled from water.

Zhou Xi’s shout stopped short as she noticed the two people in the room staring at her.

Her hand gripping the ticket felt awkward, her ears turning red.

Chunshui lost strength and collapsed to the floor, saying to the rehab doctor, “Let’s stop here for today.”

The rehab doctor was perceptive and smiled, “That’s about enough for today. Keep practicing when you go to Spain. Your muscle strength is already good, but don’t overdo it.”

Chunshui nodded, sat up, and grabbed a towel from the nearby stool to wipe her sweat.

The rehab doctor packed up the equipment while Zhou Xi stood awkwardly in the room.

The room wasn’t big to begin with, and with the rehab doctor moving things in and out, the bodyguard helping, and Chunshui sitting on the mat, wiping sweat and drinking water, her face finally regained some color, her cheeks flushed with two patches of red. She said to Zhou Xi, “Doctor Zhou, come sit.”

Zhou Xi, standing at the door, was in the way. She reluctantly moved to Chunshui’s side. Chunshui patted the mat, but Zhou Xi glared at her.

With others present, she couldn’t lash out, and her momentum weakened by a third.

Chunshui saw she wouldn’t sit but wasn’t annoyed. She hooked her lips, looking at Zhou Xi’s glare with amusement, her smug expression truly an eye-opener for Zhou Xi. She had never seen this side of Chunshui, and it made her anger flare up again. Just as Zhou Xi was about to say something sarcastic, the rehab doctor came back in.

“Your nutrition is still lacking. You’ve been exercising a lot lately, so eat more high-protein foods.”

Tch, the small flame in Zhou Xi’s heart was snuffed out again.

“I understand,” Chunshui nodded, picking up the towel around her neck to wipe the sweat still seeping from her forehead. She said to Zhou Xi in a playful tone, “Doctor Zhou, can you help me up? I’m so tired, my legs hurt, and I can’t stand.”

Zhou Xi didn’t want to deal with her, but there was someone else in the room.

With a dark expression, she hesitated before extending her hand.

Chunshui smiled at her, her eyes nearly disappearing from the grin.

Chunshui grabbed Zhou Xi’s offered hand, pulling herself up slightly. She didn’t stand steady and fell toward Zhou Xi, landing right in her arms.

Sweaty people usually smell bad, but Chunshui had a pleasant scent.

Like white tea in the rain, with a lingering charm.

Zhou Xi was momentarily dazed, then snapped back, grabbing Chunshui’s shoulders. She hesitated to push her away, muttering, “You stink of sweat.”

Chunshui steadied herself and smiled at her, “Thanks, Doctor Zhou.”

Zhou Xi pursed her lips, watching Chunshui walk unsteadily to the bathroom. The rehab doctor, who had been in the room earlier, was gone. The sound of running water came from the bathroom—Chunshui was showering.

Zhou Xi grew even more uneasy.

In a cramped space, sounds traveled faster and louder.

Zhou Xi felt enveloped by the sound of water. She tugged at her collar with one hand, feeling a bit of heat in her chest, and left Chunshui’s room in frustration.

Outside, Zhou Xi and the bodyguard exchanged glances.

Zhou Xi clenched her hand, looking down to see the plane ticket still in her grip.

Right, what was she here for?

To confront Chunshui about booking the ticket without her consent!

Anger surged again!

Zhou Xi turned back around.

Chunshui had only taken a quick rinse and finished soon. She put on a bathrobe, opened the door, and bumped into Zhou Xi coming in.

Zhou Xi saw Chunshui’s flushed complexion, the white bathrobe wrapping her curvy figure, the waist tie loosely knotted, the neckline hanging open to reveal a large patch of fair skin. Her hair was still dripping, and Chunshui tilted her head, wiping it with a towel. A wave of mist surged from behind her, the scent of some unknown body wash and shampoo overwhelming Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi’s mind went blank. When she came to, she slammed the door shut, locking herself outside.

Chunshui was stunned, looking down at herself.

Wasn’t she fully covered? She didn’t expose anything, so why was Doctor Zhou’s face red again?

Seeing Chunshui fresh from the shower, Zhou Xi’s heart raced, an indescribable nervousness taking over.

That moment’s relaxed atmosphere completely captivated her, especially that face, like a mythical creature from a book, elegant yet mesmerizing.

People really do judge by appearances.

Zhou Xi took a deep breath.

Time and again, her momentum to confront Chunshui was cut in half.

Opening the door again, Zhou Xi was much calmer. She stood far from Chunshui and asked, “Why do I have to go to Spain?”

What was meant to be a fierce question came out completely off-tone, weakened by a third for no reason. Zhou Xi felt frustrated.

Chunshui was doing her skincare.

The sunlight slanted through the window, her skin in the light almost transparent.

Chunshui looked at Zhou Xi in the mirror, her eyes smiling.

“Does Doctor Zhou think that ten million is easy to earn?”

Zhou Xi’s cheeks puffed up.

The one paying was the boss, and she couldn’t find any excuse to argue.

Her chest felt tight, and she muttered, “You should’ve at least told me in advance…”

Her momentum was completely suppressed.

Chunshui took out various bottles and jars, her tone unusually gentle, “If I asked in advance, would Doctor Zhou agree?”

No, she definitely wouldn’t.

Zhou Xi answered in her mind, her shoulders slumping further.

Unwilling to give up, she asked, “I’m just a doctor. What am I supposed to do there?”

Chunshui’s smile deepened, “To keep being my doctor.”
