Five hours later.
Mo Xi woke up feeling dizzy but slightly refreshed.
"How are you?" Yan Chu asked slightly angry.
"Mm… I"m fine."
"Alex and the others called, remember to call them back."
"Mm."
Yan Chu was slightly triggered, and he hissed in a mouth of air as he said in anger, "Sss! Don"t you "Mm" me! Do you know how worried everyone was? You only came back here less than a month and you already fainted from exhaustion!"
"I"m fine, I know my health the best."
Dammit! Why is it so hard to communicate with this woman!
"Can"t you see that I am angry?!"
"I am not blind."
UGH!!! Breathe~ Yan Chu, breathe~
Yan Chu calmed himself down by taking deep breaths and said happily as he thought of something, "Anyways, remember to call them back. I will go and settle the issues at your school first. Jing Mo Chen is here, have fun~"
Mo Xi stiffened when she heard Yan Chu. Jing Mo Chen is here. JING MO CHEN IS HERE! AHHH!! WHY!!!
Looking at Mo Xi"s face, Yan Chu laughed out loud. He knew that Jing Mo Chen was Mo Xi"s Achilles heels.
"HAHAHAHAHA! To think that you would have this day. All my years of knowing you was worth it. HAHAHAHAHA!!"
"You are awake. Are you hungry? I cooked some porridge for you, have some." Jing Mo Chen"s voice resonated in the room.
"Since you are here, I will take my leave first," Yan Chu winked at Jing Mo Chen and patted his shoulder as he walked out.
Mo Xi kept her head down the moment she heard Jing Mo Chen"s voice.
"Have some while it is still hot, you are still weak, so you need to replenish your energy," Jing Mo Chen asked. As though they had known each other for a long time, Jing Mo Chen acted very close, while Mo Xi totally stiffened up.
Jing Mo Chen poured out some porridge from the thermos into a bowl and stirred the porridge while blowing at it. He sat beside Mo Xi"s bed and scooped out a spoon of porridge, he gently blew it and placed it near Mo Xi"s mouth, indicating her to eat it.
Mo Xi was shocked by his actions and she moved away. However, because she moved too fast, she hit her head harshly on the bedframe.
"AH!" Mo Xi cried out and held the back of her head.
Jing Mo Chen immediately put down the bowl and asked Mo Xi anxiously, "Are you alright? Does it hurt a lot? Doctor! Doctor!", Jing Mo Chen turned to call for a doctor hurriedly.
Mo Xi reached out her hand to grab Jing Mo Chen"s arm and said, "Hey, hey… I"m fine… Don"t worry… There"s no need to call for a doctor," as she heard the worries in Jing Mo Chen voice.
"Are you really ok?" Jing Mo Chen asked as he reached out his hand to touch the back of Mo Xi"s head.
Mo Xi"s face turned beet-red and she turned her head to the side, "Mm."
"Have some, I will feed you."
"It"s ok, I will eat on my own."
"I insist."
Mo Xi knew there was no way she could win Jing Mo Chen because she was weak in front of him.
"Mm."
Jing Mo Chen was delighted, and he quickly brought the porridge to Mo Xi"s mouth. Throughout the time, Mo Xi kept her head on everywhere else except Jing Mo Chen"s eyes. Jing Mo Chen noticed it as well and thought back on what Yan Chu said earlier on.
"Why did you say that Mo Xi would not be with me even if she likes me?"
"Because she would never be able to look at you in the eyes."
"What do you mean?"
"I can tell that Mo Xi like you, but do you like her enough to accept whatever made her who she is today?"
"I can."
"Even if it is unbelievable?"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Her eyes, they are special. They let her see whatever a person thinks about. She was afraid that you cannot accept her, she was also afraid that when she looked into your eyes, it would tell her that you don"t like her."
Jing Mo Chen was startled, but hearing this, he was even happier. He loves Mo Xi if she could see that, then she would know how he truly feels about her.
"You are the only one that can make Mo Xi happy, but if you can"t accept her for who she is, then don"t ever let her look into your eyes."
Yan Chu really hoped that Mo Xi could find her happiness. Although he doesn"t know whether Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi would end up together, he wanted to help them like how Mo Xi helped the others. Mo Xi couldn"t look at her own eyes and tell whether she and Jing Mo Chen was a match but Yan Chu as an outsider could tell that they have deep feelings for one another. If Mo Xi could find her happiness just by letting Jing Mo Chen know the truth, then why not.
After Mo Xi finished eating, Jing Mo Chen went to wash up the utensils while Mo Xi called Alexander.
"I"m fine."
"I just ate."
"Tell London and France that there is nothing to worry about."
"It isn"t Yan Chu"s fault."
"I just wanted to help them, but I didn"t know that I can"t even stand two hours of sleep a day now."
"Yea, I"m fine."
"I will still go for the anniversary."
"No. That is an annual event that is beneficial for people in other countries. We have been doing this for eight years, and I have always been there, so I must go."
"Mm. I will take care of myself."
Jing Mo Chen was rather shocked when he heard Mo Xi speaking French so natively, but then again, he thought, "Mo Xi could do anything."
"Mo Xi… Will you marry me?" Jing Mo Chen asked while looking at Mo Xi as he sat beside her after she finished her call.
