Under the dim lighting, Mo Ting heard a familiar voice. He held back the throbbing pain in his head as he softened his expression and turned to look at Tangning, "Shouldn't you be boarding your flight?"
Mo Ting couldn't hear the difference in his own voice, but Tangning could detect the slightest difference; he was obviously trying to endure his pain.
Tangning felt her throat burning up and was afraid if she was to say anything she would start crying, so she put down the medicine in her hands and sat at the edge of the bed before gently helping Mo Ting to sit up. She pulled him into her embrace and tightened her grip around him.
"Have some medicine first."
Mo Ting was in a daze as he filled with anxiety. He felt Tangning's tears fall upon his shoulder, so he quickly tried to turn around, but she ordered, "Eat your medicine."
Mo Ting did not retaliate as he obediently took the medicine and water from Tangning's hands.
Tangning watched as he swallowed the medicine before wrapping his head in her hands and gently massaging it. She then gently placed a kiss on his head.
Mo Ting closed his eyes. At a time like this, he had no energy to explain himself.
After roughly half an hour, the medicine finally kicked in and Mo Ting's mind cleared up. He pulled away from Tangning's embrace and turned to face her.
Tangning's eyes were still watery as she stared at Mo Ting without a sound.
"It only hurts every now and then, it's not that serious...I did a medical examination not too long ago..."
"I don't care," Tangning lowered her head as a tear fell upon Mo Ting's hand, "All I know is, seeing you in pain makes me anxious. I didn't know what I could do for you."
Tangning wasn't someone that often cried; she faced most difficulties calmly. Only when it came to Mo Ting did she react in such a way.
Mo Ting pulled her into his embrace and held onto her tightly as he stroked her back comfortingly.
"Seeing you in pain makes me lose all reasoning."
Hearing these words, Mo Ting suddenly realized something.
It seemed, keeping himself healthy was also a way to care for Tangning. Tangning's tears didn't merely fall upon his hand, they were like a hammer falling down on his heart. Mo Ting embraced Tangning as he waited for her to calm down. A while later, he finally whispered in her ear, "Later today, I'll tell Lu Che to arrange for me to have another examination at the hospital."
Tangning remained silent as she bit down on Mo Ting's neck.
Mo Ting was already used to her method of letting off steam. Whenever he made her emotions fluctuate, whether it was excitement or anger, she would use this method to respond to him.
Tangning bit onto his thin skin, unwilling to let go. Meanwhile, Mo Ting let her bite as hard as she wanted. He smiled as he hugged her tighter, "OK, after taking the medicine, I feel a lot better."
Tangning finally released Mo Ting. Her heart ached.
Mo Ting turned his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table as he offered, "I'll take you to the airport now, or else you won't make it in time."
Tangning didn't want to get up, but Mo Ting carried her up in his arms. After tidying up a little bit, he carried her out of the resting lounge.
Inside the office, Long Jie and Lu Che were still looking at each other awkwardly. Seeing Mo Ting carrying Tangning out, they quickly gathered around, "What is it? What happened?"
Wasn't Big Boss unwell? How come Tangning ended up being the delicate one?
