“Mom, what are you talking about?” Li Qingcang asked, confused.
Wu Tong seized the opportunity to tell on Ye Tianxin to Li Qingcang.
“Didn’t I come to see Tianxin? Tianxin just came back from the hospital. I think Qie Wang is hard on her,” Wu Tong ranted. “Why did he give Tianxin so many books? I counted them all, and there are about 20 medical books, excluding textbooks for Tianxin’s specialization. Xiao Cang, have you found the Hands of God yet? Have you found her? If this continues, Tianxin’s health will suffer!
Ye Tianxin smiled helplessly as she calmly explained, “Brother Li, it’s not as serious as Auntie said. I’m fine, really.”
“It isn’t serious? Look at you! You’re so thin that a gust of wind might blow you away!” Wu Tong said anxiously. She might have sounded as if she was scolding Ye Tianxin, but she was only worried about her health.
She thought perhaps it was because Xie Xuning was a first-time father. Then again, how could he let his child suffer like this?
Studying two difficult majors at the same time made her take her health for granted.
What would happen to her health if this went on?
Li Qingcang held the phone to his ear as he stood beside the tent.
Not far from his tent was the once-famous tourist attraction of Country Y.
At present, it was all in ruins, its former glory gone.
“Mom, give the phone to Tianxin.”
As soon as he heard Ye Tianxin’s voice, Li Qingcang sat on a chair, somewhat relieved.
His eyes looked gentle, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.
They had not seen each other for a few days, but it felt like years already.
His heart beat wildly at the sound of her voice.
“Brother Li.”
“Tianxin, studying is important, but your health is equally significant. I don’t want you to get sick because of studying too hard.”
Ye Tianxin was silent. Li Qingcang could only hear her slow breathing.
She responded after a while, “Brother Li, I will take care of myself.”
Currently, they were in a long-distance relationship, and a phone conversation was considered a luxury.
Li Qingcang was carrying out his duties, while she was trying her best to study for her grandmother.
He was doing so for his country.
She was doing so for her family.
They were just fulfilling obligations.
“Alright, I believe you. Tianxin, let’s work hard together.”
After arriving in Country Y, Li Qingcang did not find any clues about the ‘Hands of God’ at all.
The woman seemed nothing but a legend.
Li Qingcang understood that Ye Tianxin worked so hard because there was no news of the ‘Hands of God’ for a long time.
She was racing against time.
She was trying to beat the Grim Reaper.
Since she had been working so hard, she was hoping that God would have mercy on her.
“Brother Li, I will pay attention in the future.”
Unfortunately, a satellite phone was not the same as an ordinary phone, where people could talk for a long time. Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang had no choice but to keep everything short.
They hung up reluctantly.
They missed each other terribly. Each passing day, they looked forward to seeing each other again.
“Tianxin, listen to me. You really can’t be too hard on yourself.”
Wu Tong was distressed. Ye Tianxin had such a hard life. If she didn’t dote on her, who would?
“Auntie, I was wrong. From now on, I’ll make sure I get enough sleep,” Ye Tianxin promised.
