Mu Mian stayed for a while before leaving. Before he left, he even used his camera to record a short video of Song Ci. He wanted to show it to Du Tingting to lessen her worries.

After Mu Mian left, Song Ci gave Han Zhan a big thumbs-up and praised him for his outstanding performance. "Brother Han, I heard everything. You said that you will take good care of me and treat me very well."

Han Zhan smiled. "Mmm, I am very gentle and considerate, and I will always give in to you."

Song Ci's face grew warm at Han Zhan's tease.

Mu Mian went back to the office after leaving the hospital. He went to visit Mu Qiu at the hospital after work and only returned home after dark. While Du Tingting, on the other hand, spent the entire day at the hospital with Mu Qiu. Since she was exhausted, she went to take a bath after dinner.

Du Tingting was exceptionally tired in the past few days. It was probably because she kept running back and forth in the hospital and didn't get enough sleep.

Du Tingting dozed off while in the bath.

When Mu Mian arrived home and didn't see Du Tingting in the living room, he asked Auntie Zhang who was cleaning the kitchen. "Where is Madam?"

Auntie Zhang said, "Madam went back to her room to rest after dinner."

Mu Mian grunted and loosened his tie. He trudged upstairs.

"Tingting?" Pushing the door open, he didn't see Du Tingting and felt puzzled. Seeing that the bathroom door was cracked open, Mu Mian entered and saw Du Tingting unconscious in the bathtub.

"Tingting!"

Mu Mian thought Du Tingting had fainted and was so terrified that his voice went several pitches higher.

Du Tingting opened her eyes at his shout.

Seeing Mu Mian sprawled by the bathtub with a worried gaze on her, Du Tingting reached out to stroke Mu Mian's face. She said, "You are back. I must have fallen asleep."

"You were sleeping just now?" Mu Mian felt exasperated. "I thought you fainted."

"Carry me into the room. I don't wish to move," Du Tingting whispered, and then she wrapped her arms around Mu Mian's neck. Her voice had a coquettish undertone, but even at her age, it didn't seem inappropriate.

"Alright." Mu Mian agreed readily since he doted on Du Tingting.

Mu Mian was just a year two Accountancy student at Wangdong University when he got to know Du Tingting. It was 1996, and the country's economy was still rather backward. The income disparity in the nation was very wide, and the school fees for an elite university sky-rocketed. Mu Mian had to pay $2,500 for just one year of schooling.

Since he came from a middle-class family, the school fees, plus dormitory expenses of six hundred dollars and other living costs of over two hundred dollars, were a tremendous burden on Mu Mian's family.
