"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Pang Yanyan continued asking, "But, what's the matter with you? Is your studies too demanding, or are you feeling unwell?"
Tian Xiaobei shook his head, "I'm not feeling unwell."
"Then is it your studies that are weighing you down? Did you go out with Imperial Physician Wen again today? Were you treating some minister?" Pang Yanyan asked with a smile, feeling somewhat happy for Tian Xiaobei, because being able to go out for medical visits indicated that Tian Xiaobei's opportunities were increasing, and that Imperial Physician Wen valued him highly.
Tian Xiaobei didn't speak but just looked at Pang Yanyan, having some words in his heart yet unable to voice them.
But he knew that these words must be spoken now; if he delayed, he would never be able to say them.
