Back in the MIT counselling room, in spite of Tian Mo Xing not willing to talk much about the magazine, 007 still chose to study the unruly markings on its pages. For want of finding out the mysterious fellow who followed her around in the bookstore as told by Mandy, Tian Mo Xing could think of no other way to do so apart from searching through such magazines. Now, she wondered just what might 007 think about her attempts.

"I guess these are more than what you can do with markers - perhaps even not with ordinary marker pens," 007 concluded directly. He seemed to get a sense of familiarity with them. Approaching Tian Mo Xing's side, he wanted to confirm, "You're sure that you returned this 3 days ago?"

She only nodded quietly in response.

187 glanced at his wrist watch and set aside his handmirror, "I'm wondering if that thing has any effect on your emotions, 007...Come on, how long do we have to go on about the magazine...Time to report to Miss Cherry, everyone!"

747 also added, "Even though I'm not that willing, but 007, if you don't want to hear Miss Cherry nagging about your earpiece, we had better go to the hospital now..."

007 looked at Tian Mo Xing's passive expression once more with concern before putting back the magazine on the table. He urged her, "Let's go..."

She got up reluctantly as 007 went ahead. Before turning about to follow him, Tian Mo Xing still could not let go of her worries. 007 did not show any hint of displeasure but merely helped her without question. Seeing him walking further away, she could not prevent herself from catching lightly his hand, causing him to stop in his track.

He turned around only to see a hesitantly troubled Tian Mo Xing. His pure gaze was as penetrating as though trying to speak right into her burdened heart. She looked down and let go of her hand, never been so at a total lost for words as of this certain moment.

Eyes affixed on the floor, she found no courage to tell him her motives. Soon, like a dashing rush of wind, 007 stepped forward to close the distance between them, pulling Tian Mo Xing into a tight comforting hug.

"007," she spoke against the warmth of his shoulder. "I must be the dumbest girl of all...If you're not happy, just say....."

He quickly added before she could finish, "How can I not trust you?"

"But," Tian Mo Xing finally felt the surge of relief given by his words.

He continued, "I'm not your 007 for nothing...Believe me,...as soon as I manage to decode the frequency range of your earpiece, we'll be one step closer to the end of this game."

Tian Mo Xing blinked back tears and nodded, unable to describe the unlimited security she was showered with in his presence.
