A Way To My Dream

Chapter 13: Happiness is the best cosmetic

"Happiness is the
best cosmetic."

"Mr. Tang, can you please stop treating me like I'm a type of glass that is fragile . I still have to attend my practice." Liquan softly laughed and wipe her tears dry. She internally whimper as pain register again. They just got out from the dance studio. There's no medic in the place, only Mr. Tang is available amongst the crew.

"Ayah... stop thinking about the practice. Your ankle is swelling."

Ashley watch the two talk and laugh as if he's not around. Apparently, one of the trainees accidentally stoop on Liquan ankle bone when she was stretching. Imagine how the girl cried out because of pain. It makes his heart twitch in pain too.

Looking at her right now, Ashley can only feel one thing, madness.

"Mr. Tang-"

"Call me Uncle Tang, little lady."

Liquan nodded.

"Okay. But I still needed to attend the practice, Uncle Tang. I have four girls who's waiting for me. I can't let them down."

Jia, Jiao, Jiaying and jiayi will get very disappointed for having unfortunate leader who only bring them misfortune. She knows that Huian's issue with her still lingers around. She also know that the four girls also received pointy glances even though they wouldn't exactly tell her about it. She couldn't drag them down or slow their progress.

"Can you please f*cking stop thinking about the practice! You have swelling ankle for Christ's sake!" Ashley bursts out.

Startled by him, Liquan accidentally retracted her leg from Uncle Tang's gentle hold.

She whimpered. "Ayah... Ashley! Stop shouting at the girl." Uncle Tang scolded.

"This girl... she can even laugh. Does she not feel pain at all!" He frustrating pulls locks of his hair and glared at her. Liquan lips quivered yet she refused to tears up. She tightly gripped the blanket that hangs around her shoulder- covering her from the cold.

"If no medicine can treat her swelling ankle. Then let happiness be her medicine."

"Ah!- Uncle Tang..." She bit her lip as felt a sudden surge of pain.

Uncle Tang started to move her feet in circular motion.

"Sorry, little lady, this' gonna hurt."

She can only nod. She averts her attention from Ashley.

Meanwhile, Ashley felt like holding Liquan close to his own body. She's probably in so much pain but did not want to make a sound. He saw how her eyes and nose turned red. This is totally madness. Earlier he wants to shout at her for being so insensitive and uncaring of her own well- being and next he wants to hold her close and tight to elevate her pain.

'Things you make me feel... Liquan, you're driving me f*cking crazy yet you don't even know it!'

"You will not be attending today's practice." He firmly said. He folded his arms as he felt tingling sensation- the urge to hug her.

"I need too, Mr. Lee." She insist.

"Why can't you just listen to me! I'm the boss here!"

She's getting in to his nerves. No punishment enough could quench his madness for her and for the situation she got herself into.

"You're being unreasonable."

(-_-''')  Uncle Tang did not try to interfere to their lover's quarrel again. It's best to leave them to their own.
