Hai Xiaotangâs eyes shone brightly, âIâm just like that!â
ââ¦â Dongfang Yu suddenly held his throbbing head in pain.
Hai Xiaotang gently patted his head to comfort him, âDonât be too touched, Dongfang Yu. I am truly loyal and faithful. I even admire myself.â
Dongfang Yu: ââ¦â
His headache intensified and he slumped over the steering wheel.
Hai Xiaotang finally noticed something was wrong with him. He was really not feeling well.
âDongfang Yu, whatâs wrong with you?â Hai Xiaotang quickly asked with concern, âWhatâs bothering you? Is it your stomach again?â
âIâm fineâ¦â Dongfang Yu said, struggling to lift his head, âIâll be fine soon.â
âWhereâs your medicine?â Hai Xiaotang rummaged through his jacket pocket and produced a bottle of stomach medicine.
She quickly poured out several pills to feed him, but he waved her off, âNo need to take it, Iâm okay.â
âHow can you be okay? You look so pale. Please take the medicine.â
It wasnât his stomach that was hurting, but his head.
âIâm fine nowâ¦â Dongfang Yu took a moment to steady his breathing. His expression also seemed to return to normal. âYou drive, Iâm going to rest a bit. If I really need to take the medicine, I will.â
Hai Xiaotang softly stroked his forehead, âWe should go get a check-up at the hospital. Your stomach problem has gotten too severe. Itâs even giving you headaches. You always refuse to get a check-up, but I insist, we must go today!â
Dongfang Yu managed a smile, âWho said I didnât get a check-up? I go in for regular check-ups every month. The doctor said itâs not too serious and will cure after a few years. Itâs not as serious as you think, donât worry.â
Hai Xiaotang pouted, âBut you always scare me.â
Dongfang Yu kissed her gently on the lips to comfort her, âIâll recover soon, and wonât worry you anymore. Donât worry, Iâll be fine.â
âYouâd better be alright! Otherwise, Iâll kill you!â Hai Xiaotang furrowed her brow, trying to sound menacing. Seeing her like this, Dongfang Yu couldnât help but smile.
Hai Xiaotang ended up driving home.
Dongfang Yu felt dizzy and uncomfortable, so when they got out of the car, Hai Xiaotang called over Mrs. Zhang to help support him to rest upstairs.
After settling him down, Hai Xiaotang removed his shoes and jacket, and then tucked him in the quilt.
