C101 (2/2)

Tang Tianbao took the list from the doctor and walked out of the office.

The doctor wiped some alcohol on Yu Meng's ankle and rubbed it gently. He rubbed her leg and pulled her foot down.

”Doctor, be gentle, be gentle, ah …” Yu Meng pleaded as she screamed.

”It's fine, you just have a misplaced ankle. I'll pull it out for you. Just move it from the new position.” The doctor said, shaking the soles of Yu Meng's feet with both hands, then tugging them down again.

By the time Tang Tianbao had brought up the list, the doctor had already brought over the joints of Yu Meng's seat.

”It's fine now. Go home and take good care of yourself for two days. Eat some anti-inflammatory medicine and stretch your ankles.” Do not overexercise, lest you hurt your joints again. ”

Tang Tianbao supported Yu Meng as they walked out of the hospital. The night wind had a slight chill to it. Yu Meng shivered. Tang Tianbao took off his jacket and put it on Yu Meng. ”I don't know how much he'll wear when I come out for a drink tonight.”

Since it was one o'clock in the morning, there were very few taxis on the streets.

”I'll carry you. You're limping. I don't feel good about it.” Tang Tianbao said to Yu Meng while squatting in his horse stance.

”Little Treasure, thank you.” Yu Meng didn't climb onto Tang Tianbao's back. She pulled his arm and said, ”Let's sit on the road and wait. There will always be a taxi.”

The two of them were sitting on the curb. Occasionally, there would be one or two private cars speeding by, causing a cool breeze.

Tang Tianbao lit a cigarette as his thoughts raced. He didn't know if he should tell Yu Meng about all of his frustrations during this period of time. However, if she didn't say it out loud, Yu Meng might have really misunderstood what had happened that day.

”Little Treasure, are you cold?” Yu Meng said as she looked at Tang Tianbao.

”Not cold.” Tang Tianbao spat out a mouthful of smoke and said.

Yu Meng pulled off her clothes and put the other half on Tang Tianbao. ”Little Treasure, thank you for what you did today.”

Tang Tianbao didn't reject Yu Meng's goodwill. On the contrary, he began to cry. In this vast city, wasn't he just alone?

”Little Treasure, what's wrong? ”Little Treasure.” Yu Meng said as she embraced Tang Tianbao.

”My dad …” As Tang Tianbao spoke, he began to cry bitterly.

Yu Meng knew that Tang Tianbao was a male chauvinist. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't shed tears in front of a girl.

”What happened to uncle?” Yu Meng asked anxiously.

”My dad …” ”I'm leaving …” Tang Tianbao cried even harder. He raised his head and looked at the yellow night sky as tears continuously flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

It was as if Yu Meng had suddenly entered Tang Tianbao's inner world. The greatest sorrow in a person's life was the departure of their loved ones. This was especially so for Tang Tianbao, as he had just graduated and was about to shoulder a huge burden for the entire family.

Tears welled up in Yu Meng's eyes. She didn't know how to comfort this grieving man, but she was keenly aware that the current Tang Tianbao needed comfort. Yu Meng held Tang Tianbao's head in her embrace, the maternal tenderness in her heart beginning to flood.

”Little Treasure, I know you are a strong person. ”It's fine, just cry, cry out. If you cry out loud, you might feel better.” Yu Meng cried.

Tang Tianbao laid his head in Yu Meng's embrace. Perhaps all of this wasn't love, but rather two similarly lonely and helpless hearts. When combined together, only two people combined could comfort each other as if they were looking for a medicine they didn't have.

Yu Meng patted Tang Tian Bao on the shoulder as she consoled him, ”Xiao Bao, don't be too upset yourself. We still have a long road ahead of us, so you have to live well. ”

Tang Tianbao fell asleep in Yu Meng's embrace just like that. When he woke up, he was already in the taxi.

”Ah — where is this?” Tang Tianbao asked as he got out of the taxi.

”Wake up, Little Treasure. When we get home, let's go home and sleep. Seeing how tired you are, I didn't have the heart to wake you up in the car. ” Yu Meng said as she held onto Tang Tianbao's arm.

Tang Tianbao looked at his surroundings. The taxi had already exited the district. Tang Tianbao suddenly understood and said to Yu Meng, ”The taxi has left. How are you going to get back?”

”Look at the time, it's already past 2 in the morning, and you still want me to go back alone?” ”Moreover, my legs are still not convenient to use right now. I'll stay at your house for the night. I'll go back tomorrow.”

”This?” ”I'm not here …” Tang Tianbao didn't want Duan Hong to know that he was bringing a woman home.

”Aiya, how did you become so naughty? It's not like I've never stayed in your house before. What's more, didn't you rent two rooms? If things really don't go well, I can stay in another bedroom with you. Yu Meng had sufficient reasons not to refuse.
