Lin Gantang looked at Wen Yanqing worriedly.

“Headache? Let me see.”

Wen Yanqing hugged her tightly and refused to let go.

Lin Gantang reached out and touched his forehead. In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

Lin Gantang knew why Wen Yanqing was afraid. He was afraid that he would be a burden to her and that she would leave completely if he let go.

Her relatives and friends around her were all persuading her to be rational and not to be rash.

Lin Gantang wasn’t anxious. She was all too clear about her choice. She had already decided that it was this man.

She thought that perhaps marriage could prove how she felt, give Wen Yanqing the sense of security he needed, and let him see that she was willing to hold hands with him for the rest of her life.

However, Wen Yanqing was too careful and considerate of her. He was afraid of burdening her, so he wanted to postpone the registration and give her the leeway to go back on her words.

Before he was injured, when he heard the word ‘registration’, he had abandoned all his work and only wanted to bind them together. After he was injured, he was sensitive, worried, and felt inferior.

She thought that marriage would give him a sense of security, but she did not want him to be more anxious.

She was touched by his concern for her, but her heart ached even more.

“You don’t want me to leave, but you’re afraid that your body’s defects will drag me down and you won’t be able to give me complete happiness?” she asked.

Lin Gantang retracted her steps and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her heart ached as she sighed softly. “Yanqing, can be a little more selfish? Be a little more selfish, alright? Don’t think too much about me.”

“Don’t go,” he said in a suppressed tone.

“I’m not leaving. If you’re not in a hurry to get the marriage certificate, then let’s take our time. I’ll definitely be by your side when you want to go.

“Does your head hurt a lot? I’ll go to the hospital with you.” Lin Gantang was worried. He had frightened her just now.

“Let me hug you. Then it won’t hurt anymore.”

How could it be cured with a hug? She was not a panacea.

“If you don’t want to go, then rest early. Don’t tire yourself out.”

This time, Wen Yanqing was willing to listen, but he held her hand and refused to let go.

She lay back on the bed and covered them both with the blanket before sleeping beside him.

Wen Yanqing only relaxed his tense body after confirming that she was really not going to leave. He slowly reached out and put his hand around her waist. Seeing that she did not resist, he pulled her into his arms.

Time ticked by. Under the dim night light at the head of the bed, Lin Gantang saw Wen Yanqing close his eyes and breathe slowly.

She reached out to touch his soft hair and kissed his forehead.

He should be asleep.

Lin Gantang stood up gently. When she realized that he was still holding her hand, she carefully pulled it out.

She picked up her phone and walked quietly to the window. She moved away from the bed and made a call.

Wen Yanqing, whom she thought was asleep, had opened his eyes and was looking in her direction.

“Doctor Qiu, I’m sorry to disturb you now. Yes, headache. Tonight.”

Wen Yanqing heard her lowered voice.

The night light cast a shadow on his three-dimensional facial features. His eyelashes fluttered as he tried to see her figure clearly, but he only saw a faint yellow light by the bed.

Not long after, he heard her footsteps and slowly closed his eyes.

Lin Gantang returned to the bed and put down her phone before lying down beside him.

The doctor said that the nerves in the brain were complicated, and it could not be ruled out that the pain was caused by excessive emotional fluctuations that stimulated the nerves. Although the follow-up check had been done, if she was still worried, they could go to the hospital the next day for a further examination of the head injury.

Lin Gantang gently touched the corner of his eyes and sighed softly.

She didn’t know that her mention of leaving would cause a breakdown of his emotions. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said it out loud..
