“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Du Henian glanced at her and didn’t say anything. His expression was unsightly. Tang Man waited for a while. Seeing that he really had no response, she raised her wrist to look at the time, then glanced at Du Henian and said.

“I have something to do now. If you’re not feeling well, go to the hospital. Don’t force yourself.”

Then she was about to leave.

But at this moment, Du Henian lowered his eyelids and reached out to grab Tang Man’s wrist.

For a moment, Tang Man thought Du Henian wanted to struggle again. It had been a month and he still hadn’t let go of the past. She frowned and was about to say something, but just then, Du Henian looked up at her. His lips were a bit pale, his brows half furrowed, as if he was in a lot of pain.

He was almost half leaning on the hand that grabbed her. Under Tang Man’s slightly impatient frown, Du Henian suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth. His eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly spoke.

“Tang Man, my stomach hurts a bit.”

After saying this, Du Henian collapsed onto Tang Man. He didn’t lose consciousness, but he was almost there. His whole body was curled up, his brows furrowed, and his hand was on his stomach.

It looked like he was in a lot of pain.

Tang Man could understand the feeling of stomach pain. Sometimes even painkillers didn’t work. When she had stomach problems, she could only lie in bed, curled up and sleep to relieve it. Every time she had stomach problems, her whole body would sweat, as if she had exercised. That kind of dull pain in waves left a deep impression on her.

However, she didn’t remember when Du Henian had developed stomach problems.

This person’s daily routine was much more regular than hers. He could even be considered to have the work style of an old cadre.

She patted the Du Henian who had collapsed on her, causing her whole body to take a step back. She was considered tall among girls.

But compared to Du Henian’s height of over 1.8 meters, it was still incomparable. Now that Du Henian had collapsed on her, it was like being pressed by a big bear. Tang Man’s body was about to be bent. She could only support him and let Du Henian also use some strength.

“Du Henian? Du Henian?” She patted Du Henian’s face with one hand. “Don’t faint first. I’ll call a taxi to take you to the hospital.”

She supported him to a flowerbed and settled him on it. She quickly called a taxi with her cell phone and laboriously carried the man into the back seat.

Even though Du Henian had lost a lot of weight, he was still a person weighing over a hundred jin. It took her, a person weighing just over a hundred jin, a lot of effort to carry such a man.

After finally getting him into the car, she was covered in a layer of sweat. The loose hair in front of her forehead was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.

She took a long breath outside the car door and said to the driver, just drop him off at the hospital entrance.

But when she was about to close the car door, she stopped her hand.

At first, she didn’t intend to send him over. Because now she was already engaged to Xie Li. Even for the sake of that five percent of shares, it was better not to create any more ripples. But when she saw the pale face of the man curled up in the back seat, a sense of pity rose in her heart again.

In the end, Tang Man sighed and also got into the car. Then she sent a message to her roommates, saying that something had suddenly come up here and she couldn’t go over. She told them to have fun.

It was very close to the hospital from here, and it was not a special time period. There was no traffic jam on the road, so the car quickly arrived at the hospital. On the way, Du Henian’s mind also became much clearer. He was not as uncomfortable as before, but he was still half-bent, leaning against the car window. She supported him out of the car and took him directly to register.

About thirty minutes later, they successfully saw the doctor.

By this time, Du Henian already had a layer of thin sweat on his face. It was not hot sweat, but a kind of physiological sweat caused by pain. His face was pale from the long-lasting stomach pain.

The doctor took a look and said it was a stomach spasm caused by an irregular diet. He prescribed some medicine first. In order to quickly relieve the pain, he also asked Du Henian to get an injection here. Otherwise, if he continued to be in so much pain, it would not be good.

Du Henian was on an IV drip in the corridor. At this time, the doctors in the hospital should be off work, leaving only some doctors and nurses on duty. Therefore, the corridor of the hospital was also very quiet, giving off a cool feeling in the middle of summer.

The sweat on her body had dried, feeling sticky to the touch. She really wanted to go back and take a shower quickly. Besides, she never liked the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. It wasn’t very friendly to her nose.

But——

Tang Man sat next to Du Henian, glanced at the man with his eyes closed, hesitated a few times, and finally stood up, preparing to go out for a bit.

But as soon as she got up, the person beside her opened his eyes and looked at her.

“Are you leaving?”

Tang Man glanced at Du Henian and didn’t say anything. She picked up her bag and left the corridor, disappearing from Du Henian’s sight.

The man sitting in the chair suddenly looked like a withered flower, wilting all at once. He lowered his eyelids, looking at the back of his hand with a needle inserted, and had a desire to torture himself.

About ten minutes later, he heard familiar footsteps. At this time, the lights in the hospital corridor were all turned on. When he opened his eyes, he was dazzled by the white light. He couldn’t help squinting for a moment, closing his eyes again, before opening them.

Then he saw Tang Man sitting next to him with a bag containing a transparent box.

“I bought lean meat congee nearby. There was no plain congee. Even if you don’t like it, eat some. Otherwise, your stomach won’t feel good.”

She opened the lid of the box and placed it next to Du Henian.

Du Henian didn’t say anything. He silently watched Tang Man’s actions and suddenly felt that the spasms in his stomach tended to become more intense. So he couldn’t help but bend his body, half arching his back, and hugged Tang Man, burying his head in the side of her neck.

Tang Man was about to stop his actions when she felt moist liquid falling on her skin. Her hand holding the box paused involuntarily, squeezed between the two of them.

This was the first time Du Henian really cried. The tears made her feel that kind of silent sadness.

He had reddened his eyes a few times in front of her before, but he always seemed to have self-esteem, suppressing his tears, and never letting them fall in front of her.

She was already familiar with Si Jiahe’s crying and had ways to deal with it. But Du Henian’s crying this time really made her a bit dazed. She couldn’t say anything and just kept being a support, being hugged and cried on for a long time.

Until the tears on her neck were dried by the wind, Du Henian still showed no signs of letting go. Tang Man couldn’t support it anymore and pushed him away.

“Eat something first to pad your stomach.” Tang Man didn’t look at Du Henian, but stuffed the spoon in her hand into his, and said softly.

But this natural movement exposed the ring on her right index finger.

Du Henian pursed his lips and took the bowl and chopsticks Tang Man handed over. But as soon as he lowered his eyelids, he saw the shiny ring on her index finger under the white light of the hospital. His hand suddenly stopped, and his voice also became hoarse and trembling.

“You got married?”

Tang Man’s hand paused for a moment. She subconsciously tried to hide it, but then felt it was unnecessary. She made an affirming sound, “Almost. Now we’re engaged.”

Du Henian smiled bitterly, “Si Jiahe?”

He didn’t expect that these two people would end up together after all the twists and turns. The two years he was with her really felt like stolen time. After the gear changed course halfway, it returned to its initial trajectory, and he was the small piece of gear that deviated from the end point.

“No.” Tang Man raised her head this time and smiled at Du Henian, “Not Si Jiahe. I broke up with him before.”
