Deep Love For You

In the A-class ward.

Banxia sat quietly on the couch for a long time. She was emotionless and her eyes were faint like she was in a daze.

Mo Chenyan stood beside her for as long as she sat. A dark shadow accompanying the already quiet atmosphere in the ward.

"Mo Chenyan, let's go back."

Banxia suddenly voiced out. He turned and looked at her. "You don't want to stay awhile more?"

"Nope, let's go."

She held out her arms towards him, like how she reached out for her grandpa to carry her when she was a kid.

Banxia was shocked by her own actions.

But her arms were already out there, it would be weirder to retract them now. Thus, she held her hands out stiffly and smiled at him, pretending that there was nothing wrong.

Mo Chenyan squinted at her acting cute. He was puzzled. What changed her emotions so quickly?

Not wanting to leave her hanging, he bent down and carried her up in his arms.

When she was about to unlock the doorknob, he spoke in his deep voice, "Since they didn't do anything to hurt Ye Hanyan, I think they were not here for malicious intentions. I will get to the bottom of this, don't worry."

Banxia nodded. Actually, she had the same thought as well. Thus, she wasn't as worried as before.

If they wanted to hurt Hanyan, they had more than enough time to do it today. It was unlikely for them to act only after giving them time to react and prepare, which would land them in a passive position.

But there was still one thing she didn't understand: What was their true motive?

A thought appeared in her mind, but she rejected it instantly. No, there was no way it could be him…

…

Mo Chenyan carried her back to where they came from. Before Banxia pressed the lift button, she called out his name. "Mo Chenyan."

"Mm," he replied.

"Thank you."

It was a sincere thanks from the bottom of her heart.

Before he could react, she pressed the lift button. However, the lift door refused to open despite her repeated tries.

Banxia frowned. She was sure that the lift was on their level and pressed the button again. After half a minute, she looked up at Mo Chenyan. "Do you think that… the lift is spoilt?"

He looked down and glanced at her, seemingly laughing, but did not reply to her.

Banxia's cheeks reddened. She replied instinctively, "We would have been stuck in the lift if not for my procrastination."

He raised his eyebrows. "I didn't say anything about you."

Banxia curled her lips. He did not say anything, but the expression in his eyes made her feel guilty.

"What do we do now?" She looked at the lift in agony.

"What else can we do?" Mo Chenyan turned and walked towards the staircase.

"Hey!" Banxia realized what he was about to do. She grabbed his arm and looked at him in shock. "This is the sixth floor, are you really going to carry me all the way down?"

"If not?"

Banxia bit her lips. "We can wait in the ward first and come out again when someone's fixed it."

Carrying her around like that, didn't it look like a weightlifter carrying his dumbbells around?

She thought of how sore his arms must be…

Mo Chenyan glared at her, his handsome brows looking even cooler. "If it can't be fixed by today? You plan to stay here for the night?"

Banxia was stunned. Before she thought of what to say, he brought her to the stairwell.

As he was about to walk down, Banxia quickly asked, "How about this, you support me and we walk down together? My ankle is better now, I should be able to walk slowly."

"One more word and I will throw you down."

She went speechless.

He dismissed her concern like it was nothing!

Banxia stared at him in frustration. Sometimes, this man can be really hard to talk to.

Mo Chenyan carried her down slowly. His arms were so steady it made her feel safe. After they went one level down, Banxia could not resist asking, "Mo Chenyan, piggyback me instead."

Carrying her on his back was better than in his arms, and she would not be blocking his view of the stairs.

He paused. Banxia thought he would reject her again. However, he suddenly let her down and gave a short "hmm" in his deep voice. He then squatted down slowly before her. "Come on."

Light flashed in Banxia's eyes. She bent over and lay on his back, putting her arms around his neck. She was unknowingly smiling.

His back was like his arms, safe and secure.

Banxia closed her eyes and counted the number of steps. The golden sunlight shone on her as she counted, and immediately after, the warm sun rays engulfed her body.

…

"Hanchuan, what are you looking at?"

Ye Youran followed his gaze to see a man carrying a woman. Even though she couldn't see their faces, their silhouette gave off a warm and gentle feeling.

She smiled and held onto his arm. "Are you thinking that they are very sweet together?"

Li Hanchuan furrowed his eyebrows and only looked away after a long while. For some reason, he thought that the woman looked like Ye Banxia…

But if it was her, who was the man carrying her?

If it wasn't her, then where was she? Why couldn't he seem to find her even though he had put in so much effort?

"Hanchuan, I'm asking you a question. Why are you easily distracted today?"

Ye Youran pouted her lips unhappily. Li Hanchuan looked down at her to see her pretty face. But for some reason, he didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he felt a sense of insecurity and frustration.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking of some company matters." He made up a lie. He then adjusted his silver-grey tie and put his arm around her waist. "Let's go, I'll walk you up."

Ye Youran nodded and pressed herself against his body. "Thank you, Hanchuan. I appreciate you accompanying me to the doctor even though you are so busy. I'm very touched."

"It's my duty."

His eyes and brows were too emotionless.

Ye Youran continued, "After the check-up, let's go back to visit your parents. It has been a while since I saw them."

He paused for a moment and then continued walking emotionlessly. "Maybe another time."

Ye Youran could feel him change. A dash of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Hanchuan…"
