(credits: this part is translated by Pm on bookshushengbar) Introduction The first time, she ate him and she ran; the second time he ate her and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau. ¡°Doctor, what more could do you ask for in this life?¡± Yi Sheng prettily said: ¡°Follow Song An Chen and eat meat~¡± Fly kicks, ¡°I asked Dr. Song.¡± ¡°Take off her clothes and put on the wedding dress.¡± Yi Sheng pitifully cries: ¡°You took off twice.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± High drama, companion in youth; a cancer surgeon and small nurse¡¯s reunion that reignite their love¡­ Chapter 1 ¨C Reunion ~ Ye Yi Sheng has returned to her home city, the southern city is where she was raised, where many memories were embedded. For six years she stayed in other places, five years in the undergraduate nursing education system and one year of wandering. Getting off the plane she headed straight to A City¡¯s fourth prison. If it wasn¡¯t because her father was being released, she certainly wouldn¡¯t have returned to this city. She arrived at the fourth prison and looked around, but she didn¡¯t see a person out. Raising her hand, she glanced at her watch, it was approximately seven o¡¯clock in the morning, presumably wasn¡¯t too early. Putting down her luggage, she sat at the entrance of the prison, eagerly staring straight ahead. She couldn¡¯t help scratching her fluffy hair and yawned, looking dispirited and exhausted. Her father was originally a government official, but due to corruption he was arrested and sentenced to six years in prison, and that year she was only in the senior year. Now in retrospect, she couldn¡¯t help but smile, when her father was arrested, her mother committed suicide, and how she did survive it? Even she did not remember anymore. ¡°Ye Yi Sheng!¡± Suddenly someone calls her from behind. That voice¡­¡­ She immediately frooze, the sound of the door closes behind her, as pragmatic stepping sounds were heard. She closes her eyes, she never expected to meet her former resident upon retutning. Turning around she smiled, ¡°Long time no see Song An Chen!¡± Six years time surely flies, during childhood he had a pair of clean and transparent eyes and white skin that even women were envious of, her father always laughed at him, saying his appearance was more good-looking than girls. From kindergarten to high school, his perfect face always caused him trouble, love letters were everywhere, he even graduated with the school grass title. [1] [1] Jiao Cao У²Ý, Most handsome guy in the school. At present this man still has heinous good skin, an unceasingly handsome face filled with a breath of scholar aura. Song An Chen smiled at her, while helping her with the luggage he said, ¡°Uncle was already released around five o¡¯clock this morning, he¡¯s currently at my father¡¯s place, I have came to pick you up. I think you know, you¡¯ve been fooling around and have been missing for six years.¡± Yi Sheng was in a daze, she ignored his last sentence and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Song An Chen smiled at her, carrying her luggage into his car trunk. Yi Sheng took a glance at the car, it was a Bentley? She smiles wryly and followed him into the car. This childhood friend of hers, since young they have been two worlds apart. In order to save fifty cents she will line up an hour to buy eggs; she would never go to a high-end store to buy clothes, all her clothes were also just stall goods; her five years of tuition fee were paid by her hard work earned money. She didn¡¯t remember the taste of upper class society. Her shabby self sitting in a Bentley car seems so out-of-place. ¡°I heard that uncle would be released at five o¡¯clock this morning, so I came to pick him up. I didn¡¯t think you would return.¡± Song An Chen said while driving, he didn¡¯t look at her, instead his eyes were staring straight ahead. Yi Sheng was slightly embarrassed of her forehead bangs, ¡°My father is being release from prison, how could I not come?¡± She hollow a laugh or two, ¡°Thank you for helping me take care of my father all these years.¡± Song An Chen did not answer, he continued staring straight ahead, seemingly driving very seriously. Upon arriving at a red light, he stopped the car, pulled out a cigarette from the side small box and lit it up. He opened the window, facing the window, puff out, seeing his handsome profile, it was extremely elegant and melancholy. When did he learn to smoke? Yi Shen was a little surprised. Many years ago when they were studying, someone in the class began to smoke, Yi Sheng felt that a man smoking was cool, but Song An Chen who was a little disgusted said, ¡°Smoking is harmful to your health, it is a slow suicide, those that understand health and longevity will not smoke.¡± The Song An Chen that always knew about health and longevity was smoking. A wisp of smoke drifted into Yi Sheng¡¯s nose, being sensitive she coughed a few times, Song An Chen who face was outside the car stubbed out his cigarette, turned to look at her, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± At this time the light turned red, Song An Chen began to start the car. The car began to quietly solidify, Yi Sheng wanted to ease the atmosphere so turned to Song An Chen and asked, ¡°What is your current job?¡± Song An Chen¡¯s hands that was holding the steering wheel fluttered, appearing obviously shocked, ¡°Just an internship at the hospital this year.¡± Yi Sheng was a little dumbfounded, ¡°You pass the A medical college examination?¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Song An Chen nodded. Suddenly speechless, Yi Sheng tried tilting her head, looked away and began to be absent-minded. Since childhood, A medical college was her dream school, those years when she was studying, everyday she would complain that her own grades were not improving, she asked Song An Chen whose achievement was excellent to given her pointers. However, she remembers Song An Chen wanted to study economic and tradeto take over his mother¡¯s business. ¡°Ye Yi Sheng.¡± Song An Chen spoke. Unprepared her entire body trembled and jump. She was most afraid of someone calling her, especially Song An Chen. ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Yi Sheng didn¡¯t think he¡¯ll ask this, she hastened nodded, ¡°Ate, I already ate.¡± This action was extremely exaggerated, like to strongly prove she have eaten. ¡°Then accompany me to eat a meal instead, this morning after I picked up uncle, I had to wait for you so I didn¡¯t have time to eat.¡± She had not had time to react when Song An Chen¡¯s car suddenly turned a corner, into another lane. Yi Sheng was frightened, and turned to look at Song An Chen, he is still very carefully to drive. She found that they haven¡¯t seen each other in six years, the Prince that always had affection has changed so much, she could not see through nor did she understand him. Song An Chen took her to a small snack shop, and his clothing seems out-of-place. She knew this street, this is the street snack that she would pass on the way home by during senior year. That year they would often have breakfast here, occasionally she would greedy eat more, taking a long time thus she would be late, causing Song An Chen who accompanied her, left standing in the entrance. But that happy period, her childhood sweetheart years abruptly ended during high school. She shut off her own memories, not to imagine. Six years ago when she decided to leave here, she continously reminded herself to forget the past, forget everything about Song An Chen. They entered the small snack shop, had not sat down when an aunty came over smiling at Song An Chen, ¡°Xiao Song, you¡¯ve came ah.¡± She dazedly stared at Yi Sheng, ¡°is this your girlfriend?¡± Yi Sheng looks towards the aunty, she knew this aunty, she¡¯s a widow, who ran the small snack shop herself, surname Zhang. Yi Sheng courteously and gently laughs, ¡°Zhang aunty, I¡¯m Yi Sheng, do you remember?¡± Zhang aunty who was surprised open her mouth, ¡°Ah, Yi Sheng!¡± Zhang aunty immediately pulled out a chair and sat down, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for many years, Xiao Song said you went to college, but how come you didn¡¯t return during the summer vacations?¡± Yi Sheng said: ¡°I¡¯ve been busy with studies and it¡¯s too far away from home so I was too lazy to return. But I haven¡¯t come back now?¡± Zhang aunty ha ha smiled, ¡°You¡¯ve kept your hair long that I didn¡¯t recognize you, you¡¯re becoming more and more beautiful.¡± Yi Sheng also smiled, she couldn¡¯t help but feel her long hair that she grew out for a few years. In fact, since childhood she always had long hair. That year in high school, she cut her hair short. She always prefered long hair, however her sick mother could no longer help her tie it and she didn¡¯t know how to tie herself, so with no other choice she had to cut her long hair. Zhang aunty said, ¡°Yi Sheng, do you want to eat anything?¡± Yi Sheng originally wanted to say she would like to eat the fried New Year cake that Zh a ng aunty personally cooked, but Song An Chen replied for her, ¡°She already ate, give me a fried New Year cake and one package to take away.¡± ¡°Ah, well, okay, wait a moment.¡± Yi Sheng cried without tears. When the New year cakes arrived, Yi Sheng can only helplessly watched Song An Chen leisurely eat her favorite fried rice cakes. After finished eating, Song An Chen carried another and exited, Yi Sheng had followed behind wistfully eyeing at the bag. ¡°Yi Sheng ah!¡± Zhang aunty suddenly ran out from behind and handed her a small book, ¡°You left this behind that year, I originally wanted to tell Xiao Song to return it to you, but he insisted that I personally give it to you, saying that you will definitely return.¡± Yi Sheng blankly glazed at the small book, for a moment she couldn¡¯t breathe. That year she left behind a diary. he hesitated to reach out taking it from Zhang aunty and said, ¡°Thank Zhang aunty.¡± Zhang aunty waved her hand, Yi Sheng nodded and got into the car. Slightly impatient, Yi Sheng stroke her diary back and forth, she clearly understands what was written in her diary, she can¡¯t promise Song An Chen has not come in contact with it and seen the contents inside. If he did, then the secret she held for six years¡­ ¡­ She took a deep breath, turned to Song An Chen who¡¯s driving and asked, ¡°Have you seen this diary?¡± Song An Chen casually glanced at the book in her hands, ¡°No.¡± Her heart suddenly felt at ease. Song An Chen¡¯s father Song Zheng and her father Ye Tian Ming were comrades, together they were assigned to the same city to settle down. Song An Chen¡¯s father was in the Land Bureau, while Yi Sheng¡¯s father was in the State Administration of Taxation Bureau, two people have the same synchronization, the relationship between the two has been like family. Until the occurrence of the corruption case, and her father being arrested, the two families haven¡¯t been in contact since. Song An Chen has a rich family background, not his father, but his mother. After his mother and his father¡¯s divorce, she met a generous wealthy French man. When his parents divorced Song An Chen was just in junior high, originally was going to follow his mother, after all exit formalities were done, he backed out. No one knew what the child was thinking. But Yi Sheng knew. She had been holding Song An Chen¡¯s hand, told him not to go, and begged him to stay. Song An Chen¡¯s could not stand seeing girls cry, very reluctantly stayed. Yi Sheng in retrospect, always feeling some people have changed. That time they were really childhood sweethearts. The car came to a stop in the Feng Shan District, Song An Chen turn sideways and said to Yi Sheng, ¡°You stand here and wait for me, I¡¯ll park the car into the garage.¡± Yi Sheng nodded, seeing him drive away. She looked up, it¡¯s still the old houses, the house had new hardware facilities added, they have been renovated like new, the building looks the same as those years ago. Song An Chen came to her side, ¡°Let¡¯s go¡± one step ahead of her own will. Yi Sheng pursed her lips, with a wry smile. On the third floor, Yi Sheng can not help but looked at the other side of that door, that was her home. Song An Chen followed her gaze, ¡°The house has been empty.¡± ¡°Ah? Still haven¡¯t been sold?¡± ¡°I do not know.¡± Song An Chen said as he took out the key and opened the door. The door opened, two middle-aged men in the living room have paused, watching the door. Song An Chen pop his head inside looked, smiled and said, ¡°Father, uncle.¡± Ye Tian Ming smiled and nodded, looked behind Song An Chen, couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. Yi Sheng from behind Song An Chen walked up, smiled and nodded, ¡°Father, uncle.¡± ¡°Ah Yi Sheng.¡± Song Zheng full of joy, waved, ¡°Come here, I haven¡¯t seen you for six years.¡± Yi Sheng went front of Song Zheng, Song Zheng gazed around, turned to Ye Tian Ming and said, ¡°I remember Yi Sheng was older than An Chen by three months.¡± ¡°Sure, wasn¡¯t that always Yi Sheng reason to bully An Chen?¡± Ye Tian Ming said also in a good mood. ¡°Oh, those two are both twenty-five years old, but my boy compare to Yi Sheng looks a lot older.¡± ¡°Mature boys are good.¡± The two adults talked among themselves unaware of the time. Ye Yi Sheng stood there without the slightest idea about the meaning of some of their remarks and didn¡¯t know what to do. Song An Chen sits on the side of the sofa, engrossed in his own mobile phone. She had very reluctantly sat on the sidelines like a quite idiot. The clock ticks, from eight thirty AM has been coming to twelve o¡¯clock, two great talents have stood up, Ye Yi Sheng exhaled a heavy breath, it¡¯s finally finished. ¡°Old Ye, hungry, we have a few drinks, I still have so much to tell you.¡± Ye Tian Ming laughed, ¡°No, ah, daughter is waiting.¡± ¡°Oh, Yi Sheng and An Chen certainly have lots to talk about, we do not bother the young ones, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Tian Ming being pulled out could not do anything, but turned around to Yi Sheng and said, ¡°You wait here for me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yi Sheng reluctantly pulled a smile. After he two people left, Yi Sheng drops her shoulders and squeezed her pinched brow with a look of exhaustion. She turned to Song An Chen, with a smiling face said, ¡°Song Di Di (younger brother), do not know if there is to eat here?¡± Song An Chen managed to look away from his mobile phone, looked at Yi Sheng, suddenly stood up, walked into the kitchen. Yi Sheng turned to his thin figure, drifted off. He packed the fried New Year cake into the bowl, placed in a microwave to reheat, boil some water, soak a bowl of Seaweed soup, ¡°threw¡± it in front of her, then took big steps to sit down, and began fiddling with his mobile phone. Although Yi Sheng is curious about what his fingers have been doing non-stop, but she choked back her words, alone she happily ate the fried New Year cake. ¡°You have a place to stay?¡± Song An Chen asked suddenly. Yi Sheng blinks her eyes, put down her chopsticks and smiles: ¡°Before coming here I went online to see the house rental prices, well, had not found a suitable one, so instead I found a small suitable hotel, take father to stay there for a few days, then find a suitable house.¡± Song An Chen frowned, ¡°Mobile number?¡± ¡°Ah? My mobile number is my college number, its long distance plus roaming. My number for here I¡¯ll get one in a few days.¡± He threw his mobile phone directly to her, ¡°Put it in.¡± ¡°But long-distance plus roaming ¡­¡­¡± one minute seven cents, she cannot afford it, she only had a few thousand dollars of her hard earn work money on her for daily living expense, the money is not used to such a splurge. ¡°I can help you pay the bill.¡± Yi Sheng eyes lit up, rich people are always generous, wanting to save the poor. ¡°But I¡¯m just paying for what I use.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Song An Chen never lets himself be at a disadvantage, always the same. Fortunately, that thing, only heaven knows, the earth knows, she knows, and Lin Ruo Han knows. CH 2 Posted on January 1, 2016 by yuzamy Lin Ruohan, this person whom Yi Sheng never wanted to even mention in her dreams. This women is like her predestined doom, whenever she shows up, everything that seemed beautiful or fine would be ruined till there¡¯s nothing left. When Lin Ruohan first appered in her life, she was just a sophomore student taking addmission. Once she entrered the seemingly plain class, she became a flower princess. Her natural jet-black hair that seemed as thick black silk drooping down, snowy white clear skin and her princess-like temperemnt. However most deadliest of them all was the pair of big watery eyes which looked exceptionally pretty. At that time she was sitting beside Song Anchen, pocked him arm and asked, ¡°Do you think she¡¯s beautiful?¡± Song Anchen who was busy solving math at the time was disturbed by Yi Sheng, wasn¡¯t able raise his head, to look at the person entering the class, suddenly alarmed his expression turned ghastly white. Seeing his expression Yi Sheng was puzzeled, pocked at his arm again. Song Anchen said, ¡°very pretty¡± Shouldn¡¯t be that pretty, so much so that he looked as if he saw a ghost, even with such thought, Yi Sheng didn¡¯t really feel happy. Listening to the Lin Ruohan¡¯s stylish introduction at the stage, she was from capital, excels at dancing, award wining on television, still also able to play piano. The more she heard the more she was depressed with envy. Everything this girl possessed was to be jeloused about. What about her? apart from her love for the food, there was nothing. She tried learning painting for few year yet that too ended as if trying to figure west and east while being lost in a forest. Unlike Lin Ruohan grade six at piano and awared winner at dancing. At that time city was not fully developed. The person who came from the capital, plus being both muti-talented and beautiful, needless to say she¡¯ll be in focal point of the whole class. Teacher assigned her to sit behind Yi Sheng, she who was half a head taller than Yisheng. The desk-mate of Lin Ruohan was a nerd with face full of pimples, although he does appreciate the legendery beauty, he had his heart set on books, so he didn¡¯t much of a reaction. In contrast to that all the surroundung students, whether it¡¯s girls or boys seemed very excited in get close with her. And Lin Ruohan gave friendly responses to each one them. See, there¡¯s congeniality and talent and appearence plus with the being a beauty, this pressure was too much for her ah! But this didn¡¯t matter much to Yi Sheng, unfortunately this Lin Ruohan had to fool around her toy horse, Song Ancheng. This made Yisheng quite dejected, and they seemed to be extreamly familiar with each other. Lin Ruohan poked again at Song Anchen¡¯s back, said, ¡°Big bro Anchen, give me a ride back home on bicycle in evening okay?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s face immediately ashened, he turned towards Lin Ruohan, said, ¡°do not call me brother¡± Lin Ruohan simply sticks out her tongue, with a cute smile on her face. Yisheng didn¡¯t dare to turn her head, so she could only see Song Anchen expression from the coner of her eyes, impatience. Fot this reason she was happy throughout whole few lessons. Why was she so happy you ask? Even if this person had so much looks to be the first, also had grades to the first, although ** standard was not of the highest quality, but not warmhearted enough to understand her toyhorse Anchen, wouldn¡¯t she be an idiot if she¡¯s not happy? (** are as they were on the original, no idea what that means) Yes, she liked Song Ancheng for a very long time. From the time when they wore small pants and went to kindergarten and back home, while holding hands. Till when highschool, where they mouted on a bicycle to return home, they had always been together. Being together all the time, they eventually became a famous couple in highschool. Although Song Anchen frowns whenever he hear this rumour, he never denied it either, therefore everyone believed that was his tacit approval.Yisheng also wanted to ask, but unable to, since she was afraid it would become akward if asked. Therefore she could only remain by his side as the helpless childhood friend. ( I don¡¯t know what the hell those ** suppose to mean, maybe i got the last sentence wrong) But now the world of these two childhood sweet hearts was being inturrupted by a third person who kept calling Song Anchen, ¡®big brother¡¯ and kept pestering to ride on his bike with him as soon as afternoon classes dissmissed. Yisheng could only stand to the side looking as if a dimmed light bulb, dipressed. And finally Song Ancheng gave up, agreeing to ride with her, Yisheng felt quite dejected as she slowly dragged herself after them. Lin Ruohan seemed beaming while sitting behind Song Anchen, happily waved at Yisheng, ¡°Big sisYisheng, hurry and catch up¡± From the begining they weren¡¯t that familliar, now she was waving at her calling ¡®Big sis¡¯, isn¡¯t this enthusiasm, just an act.Yisheng pursed her lips, reluctantly quickening her phase to follow after them. When they fianlly reached the crossroads beside the river, Song Anchen stopped his bicycle, turned his head towards Yisheng, ¡°Yisheng, come with me to Ruohan¡¯s place¡± ¡®Ruohan¡¯ such affectionate tone ah! Yisheng shot him a supercilious look, ¡°I don¡¯t have so much free time to play the unwanted thirdwheel¡± as soon as she finished speaking she turned back frantically running towards home, not daring to look back again. The two headed towards Fengshan community, which is of the opposite neighborhood. Actually Yisheng didn¡¯t like going back home, now it didn¡¯t even look like one anymore. Her mother was suffering from a stomach cancer, got hospitalised, father was busy working and with taking care of mother and she was at school for most of the time, so after school Yisheng was the only soul at home. Yisheng got back home alone, sat on the sofa hugging her knees, feeling somewhat trobled. She looked and the dull empty house, thinking back how the happy pricess from before turned in to such a misfortunate one, one that whom her prince abondened. Yisheng felt distressed lowered her head, silently weeping. She didn¡¯t know how long she cried, but she has fallen asleep and was woken up by sound of someone knocking the door. When She went to open the door, she saw Song Anchen standing outside, panting. Seeing him laughing at her Yisheng felt angry, waved her hand to shut the door at his face, which Song Anchen stopped in time. Yisheng asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± Song Anchen gasped for a breath first, ¡°Were you born to get angry?¡± ¡°When did you see me get angry? I¡¯m merely tired and I want to sleep, I don¡¯t want to listen to your nonsense right now¡± Song Anchen face seemd resigned looking helplessly at her, said, ¡°I¡¯ll be frank, Lin Ruohan may become my future younger sister¡± Yisheng pouted looking disdainfully at him, Song Anchen continued, ¡°Meaning my father and her mother are on close terms¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Song uncle¡¯s having a second spring? Song Anchen gasping for another breath, ¡°Still, I didn¡¯t know you were this stingy¡± he couldn¡¯t help but smile ans added, ¡°not so angry now, right?¡± Yisheng turned around biting her lips, went back to the sofa again. She wanted to get angry but didn¡¯t have a reason to be so. Lifting her eyes towards Song Anchen asked, ¡°Did you finish your assignment yet?¡± She picked the wrong topic to change to conversaton. Song Anchen came inside, taking a book from the schoolbag threw it at her, ¡°If you have such an attitude toward studying, beating the exam to be a doctor would be possible¡± Yisheng casted a glance at him, happily picking the book thrown to her bowed in worship. Song Anchen was awfully correct with his assignments, it had a high chance of being accurate and being copy his work was pretty good. Actually Yisheng regretted choosing science subjects, she was simply an idiot at those but she had no choice, inorder to get in to a mecal college she had to stake it all. ¡°Hello, Song Anchen! I even decided not to return home and stay studying after school¡± Song Anchen smiled at her ¡°Good, then I would¡¯ve accompanied you¡± Song Anchen was quite the competent toy horse, had she not returned home he would keep her company. At noon, two people studying together in classroom, similar as once in the past. Sitting behind Yisheng, Lin Ruohan bided for a while, not looking for Song Anchen anymore, either knowing herself or being warned by Song Anchen, she tried to call out for him but hesitate each time as she just watched them leaving togther. Untill the first math test¡­.. Everyone thought Lin Ruohan was a smart one, but unfortunately she appeared to be a exetreamly idiotic in science subjects. 17 marks for maths, 29 for physics and 36 for chemistry, not suprisingly so these were the lowest grades of the class. Teacher called for Lin Ruohan about her poor grades. After some sincere talk and heartfelt words by the teacher, their conversation seem to have bear fruit. Actually the outcome was to make study groups for classmates to help each other, on ones with good grades tutor the ones with worst grades. So the first ten places is to tutor the last ten places accordingly. Thus the first of the class Song Anchen was to tutor the first from the bottom, Lin Ruohan. Yisheng was placed fifth from the bottom and was grouped together with He Jin, fifth of the class. Since then the two had very few chances to be together again. Also, they had to change the places according to new teaming to be more convienient to help with the studying, so they could only talk on the way back after school. They walked to the bicycle shed and out of the school, all the while Yisheng was silent. When Song Anchen couldn¡¯t take it anymore, broke the silence asking, ¡°How was the class today? He Jin¡¯s work is actually pretty good¡± ¡°En¡± Yisheng nodded absentmindedly. Seeing her dejected face Song Anchen titled his head, patting on her head to coax her, ¡°Then what are you so upset about?¡± Yisheng, who was unconsiously walking on a straight line with half closed eyes, suddenly jumped up, frightened, abruptly retreated one step back. ¡°Song Anchen, you¡­ what are you doing?¡± ¡°See, I told you that you were not happy, so what¡¯s the reason?¡± How can she be happy? With these two people being so close whispering to one another and that place, which originally belonged to her being taken away by that women whom she was jealous of, she was so utterly angry. She muttered, ¡°You men are all the same, hoes before bros*, you all go over the top right after seeing a beauty!¡± her tone seemed quite blunt, which made Song Anchen stare at her blankly. He didn¡¯t say anything just got on to his bicycle, dropped a word before leaving her*, ¡°Ye Yisheng, you are an unreasonable person¡± (hoes before bros ¨C A guy who leaves or forgets his buddies over a girl) (dropped a word before leaving her ¨C it originally meant ¡®shake one¡¯s sleeve and leave¡¯ so I don¡¯t know if I should but I left it as simply ¡®leaving after saying something¡¯) Of course she¡¯s unreasonable, beacourse she¡¯d mad with jealousy. When niether was willing to yield, this turned out to be a huge quarrel between the two. Because of this cold war, instead of Yisheng, Song Anchen started having meal with Lin Ruohan and the two also went home after school together. And as not to be outdone by them, Yisheng also got close with He Jin on purpose. Even though they was ignored most of the time, Song Anchen would glared back at them when passing by. School started buzzling with a new rumour: the most handsome boy of the school, Song Anchen broke up with his childhood sweetheart, and went to the embrace of the beauty, Lin Ruohan. And the old sweetheart also found a new love. As they say, power of the masses was strong indeed, the class went to an uproar with jokes and whispers whenever Song Anchen came to class together with Lin Ruohan, this was also provoked by the bashfulness of the beauty. When Yisheng had to take it all in without having a place to vent her anger, He Jin also had to chime in with, ¡°They do look good together, ah?¡± Yisheng suddenly caught his arm and pinched it hard, He Jin held a sullen face as he knew he was being used. Neither did Yisheng felt happy even with pinching his arm. Song Anchen was watching all this from the side with an unreadable distant expression. Yisheng was all alone after the break up, felt lonely not having anyone to go back together. So He Jin kindly volunteered to escort the lonely flower back home. When they went to fetch his bicycle, the lovely couple of Lin Ruohan and Song Anchen was there, plus him smiling at her. It was as if they were compete strangers, not even glancing as they went on straight ahead, just passed by each other. All along their relationship was like standing on cloud, eventhough they were just next each other, now it seemed as if they were seperated a whole galaxy. Thier relationship took a turn for the better after when Yisheng¡¯s father, Ye Tian Ming went to Song Anchen¡¯s home for a drink. When Yisheng returned home, she seeing the briefnote her father left behind reluctantly decided to go. Song Anchen was the one who opened the door, he seemed to know that she was coming, leaned on to side and gestured her to go inside. Ye Tian Ming was happy seeing her duagther, beckoned her to come over. He handed her a box, Yisheng looked at her father, baffled. Ye Tian Ming let out a gentle chuckle, ¡°It¡¯s a mobile phone, latest kind, I heard it can take pretty good photos. Old Song gave his son a mobile phone, now I too am giving my daughter a one¡± She opened the box to see, it was a extravagant high resolution mobile phone that¡¯s often boasted about in recent magazines. Turning to her father she expressed her gratitude to him, when suddenly her moble phone rang. Startled, she looked down at the screen, she was surprised to see the incoimg caller¡¯s name, Song Anchen. Ye Tian Ming peeked at at the mobile phone, luaghed ot loud while standing up. ¡°It¡¯s Song Anchen¡± She suspiciously answered the phone, Somg Anchen¡¯s muffled voice came through, ¡°come to my room¡± Yisheng went to the drawing room, saw no trace of Song Anchen. She hesitated for while knocking his door before going in, only to see Song Anchen stting on the bed smiling foolishly at her, unknowingly or so she too smiled. As such, the two reconciled just like that¡­ They kept contact through the phones, oftenly texting to each other when they¡¯re bored, on the other hand they were both having fun like this. Actually they were both, awfully happy.Sometime it was just a sentence like ¡°hey¡± which was replied by ¡°en!¡±, it was such a waste of time and money. (Wow! People in love are sooo stupid, really such waste of money *sigh~*) And so, on the second test Song Anchen scored in 70s for all three science subjects for the first time. Since he¡¯s normally the one get full marks, this caught teacher¡¯s attention. Still it was only after month of tutoring for Lin Ruohan. Since the tutoring plan made less progress than before, teacher strated to feel anxious and finally he decide to withdraw the plan. Since it felt weird with the score difference, So Yisheng asked him if it was deliberate? Song Anchen only smiled but didn¡¯t answer her. Their relatonship didn¡¯t stay so well much longer, since Lin Ruohan stood in the middle. Why couldn¡¯t they cast her aside? Because Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother and Song Anchen father got married, therefore it was unlikely for Song Anchen to disregard his new younger sister. In the end Lin Ruohan moved in to Song Anchen¡¯s home, they lived under the same roof. After then, everytime she went there was three people, making her the third. He jin once laughed at her, saying she was the unwanted third guest. Yisheng too strated to see as the others and the more she felt that she really is the unwanted third guest. She was not beautiful like Lin Ruohan, when they were walking, she was always aside of the crowd and while they rode the bicycle, she was in the back silenly following them as they intimately rode together in front. She started to feel she seemed unnecessary in there. Aterwards, she started go one step ahead of them, whether it¡¯s going to school or eating lunch she did it faster. Going home ahter school was the same, one step ahead. Unexepectedly she got used to it. ¡°Yisheng, what¡¯s up with you these days?¡± later Song Anchen texted her. But she didn¡¯t reply, no matter how many text massages came in later, she never reply with another word. CH 3 Posted on February 7, 2016 by yuzamy Yisheng led her father to a small hotel booked a room for them. After they tidied up their luggage, Yisheng turned to her father, picking up his clothes said, ¡°Dad, you go take a shower first¡±. Ye Tianming held his daughter, earnestly looking at her said, ¡°I asked your uncle Song to help me buy our old house back. And as for the money uncle Song owed me some a while back so it won¡¯t be a problem. Us, father and daughter together, we can go back to our old place, what do you say?¡± Yisheng withdrew her hand, tuned away appearing to be busy, ¡°Dad do you still think there¡¯s a need for us to stay in this town anymore?¡± ¡°Of course there is, although this is still a small town, this is where I first met your mother, got to know to know each other, fell in love with each other and gave birth to you, Yisheng. If it weren¡¯t for me being muddled at that time, then it wouldn¡¯t have¡­.¡± thinking back at how their family went bankrupt after corruption case, Ye Tianming let down a heavy sigh, lowering his head. Yisheng walked towards her father, hugging him from the behind, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t think about those things anymore, for six whole years this daughter have been very unfilial to you, haven¡¯t even bothered to visit you. To tell you the truth, at first I too blamed you, but after thinking things through I realized that Dad did all that because of Mom¡¯s illness¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Ye Tianming couldn¡¯t help but laugh at himself, how absurd of him to recall all these sad things again. ¡°Yisheng, don¡¯t you want to stay here?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to¡± to her this little town held many cruel memories, if she were to stay here again she¡¯ll not be able to return to her peaceful life again¡±. ¡°But if father still wish to stay, then you can stay. I¡¯ll go back to B city, it¡¯s fairly close and it would only take two or so hours for one trip from here. And it¡¯s a prefecture level city, so it¡¯ll be easy to find place to work too¡±. ¡°Are you really okay with being alone like this?¡± Ye Tianming¡¯s eyes carried a hint of concern. Yisheng tried to console him, ¡°My senior is there too. He¡¯s the one took care of me from back then, helped me a lot too. Also, this time he helped me to take up a internship at there, using his connections. If work hard, I might be able to become a resident there¡±. Ye Tianming let out another sigh, patting his daughters hands that weren¡¯t fragile nor delicate as they were once before, a sudden sadness gushed through him. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s all fine¡± Yisheng buried her face in his back, faintly closing her eyes, thought about her hazy future, she felt at loss. She couldn¡¯t see it, she couldn¡¯t see the other side, only had her blind beliefs¡± As long as I¡¯m alive, it¡¯ll all be fine. ________________________________ The means and methods of Song Zheng were quite capable, in no more than three short days he was able to buy back Ye family¡¯s old house. Even Song Zheng himself couldn¡¯t help but laugh, said, ¡°It was nice to talk to the previous owner, he promised to pay seven years of installments too, still really haven¡¯t had such good deal before¡±. Ye Tianming looked at the house he didn¡¯t see for six years, also followed in laughing. ¡°To buy this house, like a collection, still same as before¡±. Song Zheng said with a smile, ¡°It was good, to help you take care of this house all these years¡± Ye Tianming happily smiled. To live in this old house again, Yisheng looked around to see traces of herself left there, the eventful days she spent in this house, every corner and every item was deeply engraved in her mind. Those birthday parties, those fun times, their simple yet exaggerative actions, now it all seemed things that can not put in to words, only leaving behind a taste of pitiful regret. And yet those were, truly the most carefree days of her life. After few year of remolding it¡¯ll be as father wishes, it almost didn¡¯t have any need to be repaired, except for some changes in furnitures. And so they quickly moved back to the old house, this was not within Yisheng¡¯s expectations at all. That night, after settling back in her old room, Yisheng received a massage, it was from Song Anchen, ¡°Are you asleep?¡± Yisheng replied, ¡°I¡¯m just lying down on the bed¡± Then Song Anchen called her. Seeing him calling, she was somewhat hesitant to answer the phone right away. A somewhat (unfamiliar) voice came through, ¡°Hello¡± ¡°Still not sleeping? it¡¯s 1 o¡¯clock already¡± Song Anchen¡¯s voice sounded through the mobile phone. Yisheng blinked, her brain seem to have stopped working for a moment, not sleeping? she¡¯d love to sleep when it¡¯s time to sleep, who¡¯s the one bothering her in the middle of the night. Moreover he took a phone call just to ask this? ¡°I was sleeping till now, when certain someone¡¯s massage woke me up¡± Yisheng¡¯s replied in an indifferent tone. Then there was a moment of awkward silence, it took a while before Song Anchen finally said, ¡°Good night, Yisheng¡± Yisheng opened her mouth to say something, then closed back again. But she didn¡¯t hang up the phone, neither did he, the awkward silence continued to linger between them. After taking a deep breath to calm herself, Yisheng took the initiative to and hung up first. Curling up on the bed, she closed her eyes. If it was her from six years ago, then she might¡¯ve took this hind and wouldn¡¯t have hung up on him like that. But now, she must not delude herself such fantasies. Song Anchen and her¡­ was merely childhood friends, nothing more, she didn¡¯t have the freedom for those imaginations anymore. ________________________________ Yisheng¡¯s father was somewhat worried to leave his daughter with her senior brother alone, wanted to tag along. But Yisheng denied him, she was no longer the pampered she was once before, those few years of grinding added more experience to her life. Seeing her, appearing so calm and composed, Ye Tianming felt relieved and decided to let her go alone. Yisheng carried her heavy luggage to station with her, directly went to buy a ticket to the train headed to B city. All she wanted was to leave this place soon, to break away from those painful times. Yan Heng, Yisheng¡¯s senior brother, they were both on same university but he majored clinical science. She knew him for almost three years. They first met when she was still a freshmen at university, he was already at hi fourth year then. Due to both being from the same hometown, they got to know each other pretty easily. Yan Heng was very simple and a gentle person. Although they were on different majors, somehow they both understood each other vey well, making them eventually harbor good impressions of each other. Yisheng was quite introverted and withdrawn back then. By being with her to hear her sorrows, Yan Heng helped her get through the haziest period of her life. So it was only natural for him to know a lot about her, about her life, including Song Anchen. It was quite clear that his concern for her was way past being just her senior. But as for her, she had met with people more caring in her life. They were merely together for a year, on his fourth year he applied for internship in city B. They only rarely met each other at university, but this distance never had any effect on their relationship, they were still good friends. Actually Yisheng once suspected that he had feelings for her, but she didn¡¯t dare to make rash assumptions, afraid that it might lead to misunderstandings between them. Fortunately for her, she didn¡¯t bother making guesses that time because he found a girlfriend soon after, which she was really glad to know. After she got off the train, she carried herself with her heavy luggage, out of the station. Lifting her head up Yisheng¡¯s eyes caught the image of a good looking man, leisurely leaning on a car while smiling at her. Two dimples on each corner of his mouth, slight smile revealing fine line of teeth, familiar figure made her surprised. He walked up to her saying, ¡°Welcome, my little junior¡± ¡°How come you¡¯re here?¡± I already said I¡¯ll come to find you. Yisheng pushed her luggage, advancing step by step out of the station. Yan Heng reached out to her, letting out a slight chuckle, lifted her luggage releasing her hand from it. ¡°You were planing to carry all these things all the way to the hospital alone?¡± ¡°Like you care!¡± Yisheng jokingly said, while pouting like a spoiled child, provoking Yan Heng to laugh out loud. ¡°How could I dare to our famous hot-headed little junior¡± Yisheng chuckled, slowly following him to the car parked beside the road, After clearly seeing the car he was heading to, she was startled ¡°Ah!¡± it was an Audi Q7. She stood there staring blankly at him for a while, feeling somewhat stumped for words. Not missing the chance to tease him she said, ¡°Oh, senior¡¯s so rich now, huh? riding on such millions¡± Yan Heng only smiled a little, putting her luggage on te trunk, he went to front and opened the door to get in. After starting the car, he turned towards her, ¡°Get in¡±. Looking at him dazedly, she was startled awake by his voice, while getting on the car she heard him say, ¡°This, my father bought it for me¡± Indeed, Yisheng already expected this, he was the son of a high class family after all, they had the economic conditions to supply their son with millions worth houses and vehicles, so as to marry a matching wife. Yan Heng¡¯s family conditions were that good. Yisheng laughed, ¡°It looks like seniors going to marry sister-in-law soon?¡± Yan Heng looked distracted for a moment, followed soon after with a light laugh, ¡°I don¡¯t even have a girlfriend, so how am I suppose to get married?¡± ¡°Ah! you broke up with sister-in-law?¡± Yisheng was alarmed. Yan Heng started the car, stepped on the accelerator, car steadily moved forward. Yan Heng leaned to the side with a smiling expression on his face, ¡°Silly girl, you always take things too seriously, you know your seniors requirements are very high, trying to find the suitable one is not that easy¡± Yisheng blinked, staring at him not knowing whether to laugh or cry, was this suppose to be a joke? Seeing her stare Yan Heng felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Yisheng, what about you? got yourself a boyfriend yet?¡± Yisheng withdrew her gaze after a quick glare, ¡°You know me, I¡¯m not heading that way¡± ¡°Still for that toy horse?¡± Yisheng didn¡¯t reply to him, rather shifted her gaze outside the car, towards the bustling B city. A sub provincial city really is very different, tall buildings rising up one after another, like in a mountain range, mountains raising up one after another. ¡°I¡¯m transferred to B city¡¯s third affiliated hospital¡± Yan Heng said while turning to her, ¡°No idea if you also like to go there?¡± ¡°Can I really?¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯ve got pretty good luck, third hospital renovated all-around, have good amount of capable doctors and attendants to run around, and they directly agreed for the internship after going through your profile¡± Yan Heng suddenly winked at her saying, ¡°Or maybe it¡¯s just that I have a great charisma¡± ¡°Cocky!¡± Yisheng sneered. She felt really happy, she didn¡¯t expect for everything to turn out so well, perhaps heavens are helping her. Yan Heng stopped the car beside a community, then two got out of the car, heading towards a house. ¡°This is the one, it has a annual rent, I paid for the first year, you¡¯ll have to figure things out for later ones¡± Yisheng gathered her hands in gratitude, ¡°Senior is really a very capable adult¡± Yan Heng reached out to scratch her head out of habit, ¡°You¡­ ah¡± Yisheng gently chuckled, appearing extremely silly. There was hint of tenderness in Yan Heng¡¯s eyes when he looked at her. He only wanted for her to be happy, from the moment he first saw that petite and frail person, slowly walking step by step, dragging that heavy luggage with her, until now he always wished for her to be happy and just like then step by step to forget the fact that he was her senior, only as this senior. CH 4 Chapter 4: Enemy It¡¯s hard to imagine that Yan Heng was able to rent such a good apartment, located close to the hospital. This community was relatively new and occupied the downtown area, and according to the housing prices of B City, it¡¯s not cheap. Moreover, majority of the houses are for sale, how could it be for rent? Yisheng entered the room, feeling strange. A two bedroom apartment, decorated brand new, even the home furnishings Ò» really can¡¯t see if it¡¯s for rent. Yisheng asked: ¡°Elder Brother, is this house actuallyyours?¡± Yan Heng stared at Yisheng, then hurriedly waved his hand, ¡°How can I, a great personlike me, live in such a small house?¡° The layout was exactly like a studio apartment. Yisheng watches around, eyes rapidlylooking at every corner of the room, failing to find any clues. Perhaps she¡¯s overthinking the situation. She says to Yan Heng: ¡°Thank you, Elder Brother, I¡¯ll give you back the monthly rent.¡± ¡°Little girl, do you want to argue with me?¡± Said Yan Heng and started rubbingher plush soft hair, in a spoiling manner. Yisheng giggled foolishly. This action was a special sign of affection between the two of them. Yan Heng helped with tidying up, and it was three o¡¯clock in the afternoon by the time they finished. Yisheng felt bad that he had to help, moreover it¡¯s the middle of summer, and it¡¯s somewhat hot. ¡°Elder Brother, let me treat you to dinner.¡± Yan Heng, who had just finished with work, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, while panting: ¡°Good, I want a big meal.¡° Yisheng had a smile on her face, but she felt nervous, and her face was rigid: ¡°Don¡¯t hesitate to eat a lot, I¡¯m paying.¡± ¡°Very good, very good, I¡¯ll take you to a place with good food.¡± Delicious food is very expensive. Yisheng silently cried as she thought of her wallet, which seemed almost weightless. Hey, to hit that fat face, suffer ah. They strolled around the community, down the bustling streets. The two people walked all the way north, not stopping to take a breath as they talked the whole time. ¡°This district is close to the hospital, about 15 minutes away. If you happen to get up late in the morning, on the way to work there will be places selling breakfast.¡± Yan Heng said, pointing to a whole street filled with restaurants, and Yisheng was dazzled by the sight. ¡°That neighborhood is a newly developed residential area, where you can buy the properties at an extremely high price.¡± He also pointed towards a neighborhood they passed by. Yisheng glanced at the residential doors for a few minutes, the gates were larger than her university¡¯s entrance, and written on marble was ¡°Liang Tian Xiao Qu.¡± There were huge sculptures by the gate, accompanied by a fountain¡­ it was only the entrance yet to spend so much, one could only imagine how luxurious the insides were. You could even see the imported cars, holy cow! ¡°I live in unit 3, building c, room 401, you have to remember.¡± Yan Heng added. Yisheng snorted, giving him a look, ¡°Elder Brother! Rich, but not noble!¡± Yan Heng laughed, stopped to hug her and leaned close to her ear, ¡°Did you not know, the more gold, the more blessings?¡± Yisheng pinched his arm, ¡°Go to hell.¡± The force she implemented immediately made Yan Heng¡¯s soft white hands turn red in pain, making him hiss as he cried in hurt. Yisheng looked at him suspiciously, pulled out his hand to take a peek and was surprised to find out that it was actually bruising. Her lips parted to make out a word, but saw that he was being indignant and laughed. ¡°Beep!¡± A Bentley car from the Liang Tian Xiao Qu community came out, honking behind them. Yisheng reflexively looked back, and pulled Yan Heng out off the road while complaining: ¡°Such a grown man, how can you be so thin skinned?¡± Yan Heng just laughs, and the driver of the Bentley car suddenly screeches to a halt. Yisheng looks towards the vehicle, and couldn¡¯t help but wonder did it break down? While she was thinking this, the Bentley car suddenly speeds off, frightening her. ¡°Little girl, until when are you going to hold my hand?¡± Yan Heng laughs mischievously. Yisheng, shocked, lets go, and having nowhere else to place her hands, she hides it behind her back and says: ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m inviting you to dinner.¡± Yan Heng smiles brightly. Somewhere in downtown, there is an elegant restaurant that stood out amongst the other buildings in its street. The facilities outside looked luxurious, and the insides were elegant which made it a good place for social gatherings for urban white-collar workers, and also a good place for dates. Yan Heng brings Yisheng to this place, and the two people sat close by the window. Yan Heng picks a french red wine steak and boston grilled shrimp, then gives the menu to Yisheng, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Yisheng first glances at the prices, and when she saw that it was all three-digit numbers, her blood ran cold. Brother, ah, how can you be so cruel? She hesitated to flip to the next page, not wanting to choose anything after seeing the prices. Her face was filled with unhappiness, and made a bored expression, ¡°I have no appetite for anything in here.¡± Yan Heng seems to have expected this, and smiled ¡°So, what do you like to eat?¡± ¡°Well, actually, I¡¯m not a picky eater. I just recently got a sore throat.¡± ¡°Lady, we have something light here that you can eat. Go ahead and take a look.¡± The waiter smiles humbly. Yisheng was deflated, and slightly uncomfortable as she takes a few uneasy glances, then sees that the cashews with celery was 369. She cries but there are no tears. Her heart felt heavy as she sees him order with a calm look on his face.¡±Another fried cashews with celery.¡± ¡°What else does the lady want? ¡± More? Yisheng really wanted to curse, ¡°Don¡¯t have to.¡± Trying hard to hold back his temper, he could only smile in response.¡±A moment, Sir and Madam.¡± The waiter takes away the menus, bows to them and leaves. Tensed, her eyes looked towards Yan Heng with a faint smile on her face. She smiles awkwardly, ¡°Senior, what are you looking at? ¡± ¡°Is the food enough?¡± Says Yan Heng in a gentle tone, but a tinge of mischief was found in his words. ¡°It¡¯s enough to lose weight.¡± Yan Heng nods, understanding ¡°I remember the times when we ate together, you spend a lot because of your love for food, no regards whatsoever, but now you have no appetite?¡± ¡°Yes, ah, haha.¡± Yisheng was speechless, and felt that he was deliberately doing this. In fact, he was probably doing this on purpose, and back in university he¡¯d do the same things to her. After serving, he had an excellent appetite and had some wine. She wanted one, but shut her eyes. What a waste, even if she were to splurge, the entire table costed a lot of money. Yisheng was unable to hold back, and spoke to Yan Heng. ¡°Elder Brother, you¡¯re kind enough to share, ah!¡± The waiter walked away, and Yisheng quietly begged for mercy. Yan Heng gave Yisheng an astonished and dazed look. She straightforwardly says: ¡°I have no money, where consumption is no longer within the scope of my ability.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Yan Heng couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Yisheng finally knows that he was just playing around with her! Sure enough, Yan Heng says, ¡°As a Senior, how can I not treat Junior Sister. The meal is on me.¡± Yisheng eyes him, and immediately puts a shrimp in her mouth, ¡°You should¡¯ve said so earlier.¡± So she began to eat and drink up. Yan Heng looked at her with a smile, a sense of satisfaction on his face. ¡°Great doctor!¡± Someone behind Yisheng suddenly cried. Yan Heng looks towards the source of sound and stood up, ¡°Lin Ruohan?¡± ¡°Oh! ¡± Yisheng choked. She glances up to see Yan Heng shaking his hands with Lin Ruohan, and gave her a head-to-toe. She was born with a tall figure, dyed blonde, wavy hair, and a black dress that contrasted against her white skin, giving her an impression of a noble. Lin Ruohan seems to have sensed Yisheng¡¯s eyes on her and returns her gaze, then suddenly feels alarmed. She was surprised to see her old friend which she hadn¡¯t seen in six years. ¡°Didn¡¯t you learn fashion design in France? How come you¡¯ve returned?¡± Yan Heng, oblivious, was unaware of their relationship. Lin Ruohan says with a laugh, ¡°A foreign clothing company used a high salary to hire me over.¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Yan Heng smiled and glanced towards Yisheng, somewhat ill at ease: ¡°Yisheng, introduce yourself too.¡± Yisheng stood up, not looking at Yan Heng, but at Lin Ruohan, with a polite smile.¡±No need for introductions, we know each other.¡± Lin Ruohan smiled, ¡°Long time no see, Yisheng.¡± She still has the same proud princess temperament, meeting and greeting people with an imposing manner. She was tall. Even if Yisheng desperately tried to pull up to her height, she was still half a head shorter than she is. Plus she¡¯s wearing heels, making Lin Ruohan seemed higher, more domineering. Lin Ruohan¡¯s attitude took her eight years to get used to, and she just laughs: ¡°Well, how are you doing?¡± Lin Ruohan smiled: ¡°Thanks to you, I have seen the psychiatrist for about one year, then I went aboard.¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turns ashen white, no longer able to talk. Yan Heng opened his mouth, about to speak, but Lin Ruohan¡¯s vision was no longer on Yisheng, and turned towards Xiang Yan Heng, ¡°Doctor, if you have nothing else to say, I¡¯ll go.¡± Having said that, Lin Ruohan in a gruff and arrogant manner, left, leaving Yan Heng speechless. Yan Heng looked towards Yisheng¡¯s face, and seeing that she didn¡¯t look too good, he¡¯s a little dumbfounded. ¡°Yisheng, you also have a story.¡± Yan Heng says with a self-deprecating smile. He thought he knew her well, knew that she had a childhood sweetheart that she loves, but then had a relationship with another girl, thus breaking her heart. And when she was at her most vulnerable state, her corrupt father was sent to prison. Hence, she left to a place far away from home, going north in order to escape reality. He knew only this, but did not know there was more to the story ¨C parts where she couldn¡¯t speak about. Yisheng returned to normal, and sat back on her chair, and continued to eat the expensive boston baked shrimp with a calm demeanor as if she hadn¡¯t met anyone. Yan Heng slightly lowered his eyelids, watching her eat slowly. He finally knows that some things are insurmountable, and she¡¯s unable to talk about that part of memory of her youth. He was suddenly curious about her childhood sweetheart and the kind of person he is for him to occupy Yisheng¡¯s memory ¨C both happy times and sad times ¨C when she was but a youth. CH 5 Chapter 5: Hospital Official work starts on Children¡¯s Day. It¡¯s an unlucky morning as heavy rain pours down; holding an umbrella and walking down the sparsely inhabited Blue Floral Street, the small parasol concealed her face. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. All the way North, as she passes Ling Tian community¡¯s main entrance, a speeding Bentley car emerges from behind her, throwing up large waves of water all over her dress. Her whole back was drenched with water, and she almost screamed at the driver but was too late as she could only watch the car speed off. She stared the Mercedes Bentley, wrote down the license plate number, 88888. This number is too easy to remember, if a car accident were to occur, with one glance you¡¯ll be able to recall it. But upon recalling the auspicious numbers, the car must¡¯ve been purchased at an extremely high price. Yisheng glanced at the community, it was indeed a luxurious area. ¡°Beep¡­¡± Yisheng was about to continue onwards, although she stopped behind an Audi Q7 when it honked at her. Yisheng turned to look at the driver, and saw Yan Heng reveal a row of white teeth, showing her a radiant smile, ¡°Beautiful, do you want a ride? ¡± Yisheng laughed, her depressed mood from the water incident earlier, evaporating into mist. She naturally enters the car, smiled and said: ¡°Senior, what a coincidence.¡± Turning the car towards the hospital, Yan Heng drops a question while on the way there, ¡°Did you eat breakfast yet? ¡± Yisheng was in a daze, ¡°No I haven¡¯t,¡± she has never naturally woken up before nine o¡¯clock. Even on her first day of work, she needed an alarm clock to wake her up. She lingered in bed until 7:30 before getting up, naturally she didn¡¯t have time to cook breakfast. It was rainy today, thus buying breakfast was avoided. In fact, Yisheng was accustomed to the lifestyle of being hungry from one meal to the next. ¡°I know,¡± Yan Heng readily took out a box filled with a carton of milk and two soft-boiled eggs from the car, ¡°Both are nutritious and light, it should fill you up.¡± Yisheng, dazed and a little startled, hesitated to take the breakfast from his hands. She forces a smile: ¡°Senior is still very thoughtful of others.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not as thoughtful as you think I am, you¡¯re just an exception¡± Yan Heng¡¯s eyes were serious, albeit his light tone. Yisheng peeled the eggs carefully, thinking of how good her senior has always been towards her. He has never missed a chance to take care of her, and she, not in the least, took his kind actions for granted. She ate the eggs and drank the milk, but wasn¡¯t able to finish when they finally arrived at the hospital. Yan Heng turned off the car ignition, quietly sitting on the seat as he waited for her to finish. Yisheng, seeing her Senior waiting for her, hastily consumed the egg, then immediately swallowed the second egg in one bite. Yan Heng stared at her ink black eyes, then her bulging cheeks, and was left dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Senior, quickly!¡± Looking at her watch, it was almost 45, another 15 minutes and she¡¯ll be late. She hastily got off the car, meanwhile Yan Heng was still sitting, his eyes staring at Yisheng¡¯s skirt. He thought that Yisheng¡¯s back seemed like a yellow wet cake, and could not help but laugh. Yisheng met Yan Heng¡¯s gaze, and knocked on the car¡¯s window, ¡°Senior, I¡¯ll go in to report first, you hurry up too.¡± Having said that, she immediately ran to the hospital. Yan Heng helplessly stroked his forehead, thinking of how humorous she is. His Junior Sister truly is simple-minded. The hospital¡¯s new main building had a total of 27 floors. As Yisheng searched for the Head Nurse in the 16th floor, held tightly in her hand was her nurse¡¯s report card. The Head Nurse was in her forties, a plump woman wearing red lipstick with notable features, and bearing a demeanor that seemed a bit harsh. The Head Nurse read her report card, and then curiously gave her a head-to-toe. Her stern face suddenly softens into a smile, ¡°Ye Yisheng?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yisheng said, puzzled. The Head Nurse chuckled: ¡°Which clinic do you want to go to?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng, baffled, was even more confused. She could choose her own section? The Head Nurse quickly explained: ¡°You can go to whichever department is shorthanded.¡± So that¡¯s it. Yisheng nodded, understanding, then selected what she wanted, ¡°I want to go into surgery.¡± ¡°I knew it.¡± Yisheng looked at the Head Nurse, befuddled by her response, and thinking of how she said the wrong thing again, she explained once again, ¡°Surgery is good, surgical is good.¡± The Head Nurse then said: ¡°You¡¯ll go into the Oncology Department. ¡± ¡°Good.¡± Yisheng gave her thanks and got into her department¡¯s nurse uniform, instantly starting her first day of work. B City¡¯s affiliated hospital in the sub-provincial city is the most prestigious and renowned of the whole province. Generally, any doctor in surgical Oncology are said to be elites. Even the nurses were held to a high standard. Yisheng¡¯s colleagues had at least a master¡¯s degree, furthermore, they all were quite good looking. And according to her new colleague, Zhao Jixiang, the department had two branches: first was the elites, and the second was someone within the family. Zhao Jixiang was one extremely lively little nurse, somewhat on the mischievous side, and graduated with an accelerated medical degree, she bluntly told Yisheng that she went through the back door to get into the Oncology Department. One of her mother¡¯s relatives is the Deputy Director of the hospital, and spent a lot of money to get in. Yisheng acknowledged this. In today¡¯s society, money and connections are important. Regarding how she got into the Oncology Department, she also knew a thing or two. She is not so na?ve as to think that she¡¯s an elite. Although she has a master¡¯s degree and her university had a bit of fame. However, her performance on the other hand, wasn¡¯t too good, her being an elite was out of the question. She could also guess from the Head Nurse¡¯s expressions. Also her Senior is a golden turtle, driving an expensive car, what is his identity? She can not help but to have a ¡°jack of all trades,¡± wanting to ask Zhao Jixiang, but the results were unthinkable¡­ Zhao Jixiang blinked three times, ¡°Do you know this doctor?¡± Yisheng: ¡°He¡¯s my Elder Brother.¡± Zhao Jixiang, dragged her out and hid in a corner to talk ¡°My God, are you sure Yan Heng of our hospital is your Elder Brother?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Yisheng gave a determined look. ¡°Amen!¡± Zhao Jixiang faced towards the mural cross, her hands clasped together, with a reverent look, ¡°Allah ah, how could you treat us weak little sheeps like this?¡± Yisheng was baffled! Zhao Jixiang, energetically held her hands towards her chest, ¡°Ye Yisheng.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Do you know what your Senior¡¯s character is in this hospital?¡± Zhao Jixiang looked towards the heavens with a tearful mien. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You know that our hospital belongs to the tertiary hospital, right? In General, a surgeon his age is practically impossible, but this talented doctor isn¡¯t only a great surgeon, his level is considered to be absolutely first-class. A miracle!¡± Her Senior was truly inhuman. In college, he participated in several medical studies and won many awards. Zhao Jixiang suddenly in high spirits, began to talk again, ¡°Our hospital has always been part of the elites, known for its best three: great doctors, amiable atmosphere, and the female nurses. Of course we rush, but unfortunately during work, there¡¯s no time to chat, and no one dares to act rashly.¡± Having said that, Zhao Jixiang turns depressed all of a sudden. Yisheng could not help but inwardly throw up, knowing that her Elder Brother had so many suitors. Zhao Jixiang¡¯s expression turns into one with joy, and she glances at her thoughtfully. Yisheng then asked: ¡°Do you want me to help you with matchmaking?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zhao Jixiang was shocked, ¡°I¡¯ll back out, there¡¯s a pile of female wolves in the post. Me, daring to covet? You don¡¯t know how viscous the nurses are in Oncology, they could tear you to pieces. Which means you¡¯d better stay away from your Senior. Don¡¯t let the gang of female wolves know about this.¡± Yisheng suddenly realizes her dire situation after hearing Zhao Jixiang¡¯s reminder. She did not want to become the target of public criticism. She just wanted to work honestly, far away from trouble. But she¡¯s in Oncology. Yan Heng is in Oncology¡­ they are bound to meet, ah! She felt nothing but resentment, and began to worry. She did not like trouble at all, and wanted to avoid it as much as possible. They were both still hiding in the dark when Yisheng¡¯s phone rang. She took a peek at the message, it was her evil senior. Opening the SMS, it read: ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner, Junior Sister, let¡¯s eat together.¡± Ignoring the message, she immediately returns the phone in her pocket, then turned to Zhao Jixiang with a calm look on her face. ¡°It¡¯s dinner time, shall we go eat?¡± ¡°All right.¡± Zhao Jixiang stood up, smiling faintly. The hospital had a large dining room, used only for the staff and the patient¡¯s family. Of course, the staff had a specific area to eat, known as Area C. Here you can order small dishes to eat alone for dinner, but the prices were slightly expensive. Yisheng just wanted to eat, but Zhao Jixiang pulled her to Area C. In fact, this area is where most doctors and nurses dine, very few ever go to eat at public restaurants. Yisheng had a bad feeling about this, and felt that she¡¯ll somehow meet someone here. Just thinking about her Senior and how it will cause her new colleagues to feel dissatisfied with her, she could only let her heart well up with anxiety and fear. She truly wasn¡¯t having a good day. She felt a pair of eyes on her, seemingly in recognition? She never thought of herself as someone who was beautiful enough to make heads turn, after all. ¡°She is Ye Yisheng, the one that the Head Nurse mentioned.¡± She heard a man say, and turns towards the table he sat. ¡°Really petite, ah, you don¡¯t have any taste, and she¡¯s too young.¡± He heard the man speak again. She knew her story was brought to light. She cried heavenwards, there were no fights, yet she was already ambushed, and was reluctant as to what to do next. Distressed, she sat by the window with Zhao Jixiang in a corner, away from the right and wrong. Zhao Jixiang patted her on the shoulder with utmost sympathy and understanding: ¡°The meal is on me.¡± Yisheng gazed at Zhao Jixiang with sparkling eyes, ¡°Thank you.¡± Help yourself as you wish! Although it made her sick with nausea like this, she believed that at this point, there¡¯s no other choice but to resign. Zhao Jixiang stood up to order the food. Yisheng sitting in a corner and looking calm was occasionally turning around to glance at the crowd that was looking at her. Attention really is not a good thing. Suddenly, the noisy dining Area C quieted down. Yishing was leisurely sipping her green tea, when the noise came to an abrupt stop. She looked up to see what had happened, but met a pair of eyes looking into her own. Song¡­ Song Anchen! She almost spat out the tea that was in her mouth. He was dressed in a white doctor¡¯s uniform; fair skin, coupled with his handsome facial features, gave off a deep gentlemanly impression. But upon seeing him wearing his gold-rimmed glasses for the first time, the kind of temperament he gave off suited his medical profession, and was like a breath of fresh air. His appearance was like that of someone from the olden days, shocking people and giving them a sense of inferiority when near him. He was looking at her, eyes seemingly perplexed, and did not know what he was thinking. As if Yisheng was surrounded by a stream of colorful lights, she couldn¡¯t see which light that belonged to him. Not far from her table, a nurse with starry-eyes said: ¡°The Prince is here.¡± The nurse sitting on the same table as her, knocked her on the head, saying ¡°Wake up, you can only watch the Cold Prince at a distance.¡± ¡°Ah, what a pity, but a delicate grass.¡± Yisheng quickly bowed her head, awkwardly downing her tea. She was flustered and her heart was beating nervously. It didn¡¯t change a thing that she was still unable to face Song Anchen. Zhao Jixiang came back with some food in his hand, and when she saw the green tea on the table, she immediately drank the remnants. ¡°That¡¯s the green tea I ordered, ah!¡± Her loud voice sounded Area C and left an echo, which caused numerous eyes to turn towards Yisheng¡¯s corner, hence making her the center of attention. Yisheng felt extremely embarrassed. Zhao Jixiang used her body as a blockade and whispered,¡±Beautiful woman, just be calm, here is the food I bought.¡± ¡°This is more like it.¡± Zhao Jixiang brought out the food trays, and happily tucked a piece of pork in his mouth, ¡°You have no idea how delicious the meat is here in Area C. The pork dishes are the best, so good to eat.¡± Yisheng had no appetite and just chewed on a few grains of rice with her head bowed low, slowly eating. ¡°Hey, Yisheing, are you being shy? ¡°Huh?¡± Yisheng looked up. ¡°Silly, the Cold Prince looked at us.¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Yisheng hurriedly ate her grilled rice. ¡°Bah, don¡¯t quibble about. No woman can resist falling for Song Anchen at first sight, but Yisheng, I advise you to resist, this cold-hearted Prince is hard to get. He is perfunctory towards woman thus turned them down from a thousand miles away, what a tragedy, ah.¡± Zhao Jixiang, with an extremely sorry look on her face said, ¡°He and I both graduated at the same University. Once in University, the campus queen chased after him for five years, yet he never blinked once. In fact, it would have been good if he was an iceberg, you can say he is cool. But, it just so happens he is more approachable towards males. It¡¯s such a sad thing, for a handsome guy to be wasted like this.¡± ¡°Why is he wasted?¡± Yisheng didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Stupid. Everybody says that he¡¯s in fact¡­¡± Yisheng listened intently. ¡°He¡¯s GAY!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Yisheng spat out a mouthful of food, spraying it all over on Zhao Jixiang¡¯s face. She froze for a moment, then without warning, screamed frantically while covering her face and ran to the bathroom. At this, curious eyes shot towards her direction. She gave out an awkward hollow laugh, unfortunately Song Anchen¡¯s eyes were on her once more. Her childhood sweetheart was GAY? She suddenly shivered, but¡­ like¡­ well, there¡¯s nothing else to say. ¡°Yisheng?¡± Suddenly, the door opened, revealing several doctors. The tallest of all the doctors, called out. At this time she was the center of attention again, and then after calling her out, he walked towards her. Her glamorous Senior¡­ Yan Heng, oblivious, just continued moving forward with a smile on his face. Yisheng felt faint, as if the ears of Our Lady of Mercy, Sevilla Light¡­ she wanted to hit the tofu to death. CH 6 Chapter 6: Party Yan Heng saw Yisheng was getting cold hands and feet. She had been focusing on Yan Heng¡¯s eyes that were poking fun at her, and his pair of eyebrows that indicated his mischief. He clearly knew what he was doing and what would happen, but still went over towards her. He sat down, chin on one hand, elbows propped up on the table, and eyes focusing on her with a bright smile. ¡°Junior Sister.¡± ¡°Senior.¡± Yisehg nodded, a calm look on her face, but her heart had already began topanic. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you reply to my message? I¡¯ve been waiting for you at the office for a long time.¡± He said, smiling and laughing in a villainous manner. Yisheng coughed: ¡°It¡¯s because I was really hungry.¡± Yan Heng nodded slightly with narrowed eyes, realizing her embarrassment, then got up and said: ¡°You can eat, I¡¯ll go dine with my colleagues.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Yisheng felt relieved at his words, at which point the chopsticks in her hands pressed the bowl of rice, eyes inadvertently pointed to the people happily talking to Song Anchen, dazed by his alluring smile, like a surge of warmth in the winter, refreshing. [1] She sighs loudly, exhausted, perhaps as Zhao Jixiang said, her childhood sweetheart¡¯s handsome face would cause many problems. At least she could still see his smile. [2] She stuffs her mouth with rice and chewed a few times, before suddenly realizing that Yan Heng was still standing in front of her. She looked up slightly, stunned to see him, and saw that he hadn¡¯t stopped smiling, although it seemed helpless, a hint of pity for her. He knows everything. He must have guessed Song Anchen was the childhood sweetheart that occupied all her memories. Although she avoided telling his name, and simply said that her childhood sweetheart had skin that made women envy, coupled with a peerless and indescribable handsomeness. ¡°Yisheng, you¡¯re emotions are too obvious.¡± Yan Heng pulled the corner of his lips into a slight smile, then turned and walked towards to his colleagues and began to eat. Biting her lips tightly, she merely proceeded to finish her meal. Zhao Jixiang calmly and soundlessly sat back down, in a consoling voice, she asked: ¡°Yisheng, are you okay?¡± Yisheng snaps out of her dazed state, nodding with slight confusion: ¡°Ah? What?¡± Zhao Jixiang gave a sidelong glance, ¡°I said, just now what did that doctor tell you? Did he say something mean? Your complexion looks bad.¡± [3] ¡°Well, maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m reluctant to part ways since he¡¯s like a brother to me, probably that¡¯s why I had such an expression on.¡± [4] She casually says, Zhao Jixiang nods, patting Yisheng to comfort her, ¡°There are plenty of girls, why hang yourself in a tree.¡± [5] Zhao Jixiang replies, then her face suddenly stiffened, ¡°There seems to be an event today.¡± Yisheng hits her on the head in chagrin. She really couldn¡¯t remember so she asked Yisheng, ¡°What¡¯s today?¡± ¡°Children¡¯s Day.¡± ¡°Ah! Yes.¡± Zhao Jixiang abruptly shots up and turned to Song Anchen, ¡°Want to reserve a karaoke room or not.¡± [6] Songa Anchen glanced at a pale tall doctor from his table then to Zhao Jixiang. The smile that was originally on Zhao Jixiang¡¯s face increasingly forms into a frown, a look of impatience on her mien. ¡°Set it at an early time.¡± ¡°OK!¡± Zhao Jixiang completely ignored his unfriendly tone, gave an ¡°OK¡± gesture before sitting back down, and turned to Yisheng, saying: ¡°Today is a holiday, and the Oncology Department often goes to karaoke on days like these. Yisheng, can you sing?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng gaped. She was bad at singing, and she hasn¡¯t gone to a KTV in many years so she didn¡¯t want to go, but she wanted to get to know more of her colleagues since it¡¯s the first day work, and this event was a good opportunity for her to do so. ¡°Yisheng, I tell you, if you fancy anyone in the Oncology Department, just inform Zhao Jixiang and I¡¯ll help you pair up with him. If you want information, I know a few young doctors that graduated from the same University as me.¡± Yisheng was silent. What handsome, nothing. Find someone who can love you, and don¡¯t have high standards. [7] *** The afternoon shift was really tiring. She¡¯s new and inexperienced so she had to follow the matron everywhere to understand some issues. The unit had a certain order to things and she couldn¡¯t do things blindly, it¡¯s also important to be have a flexible mind as she can¡¯t always rely on the other senior nurses. Before Yisheng¡¯s internship, she had a reputation of someone who does things seriously. The Head Nurse often glances at her with watchful eyes, and whenever their eyes meet, she¡¯d try to display a good performance, but the Head Nurse¡¯s face would immediately turn blank, so she feels extremely embarrassed. She tossed to and fro the entire afternoon between training and touring around. [8] When the last stop came, the nurse took them to visit the doctor¡®s office.Head nurse said: ¡°Doctors will send a nurse to assist them in the treatment room, unless the situation is too busy.¡° The Head Nurse attending the consultation room sent a probing glance, then turned to Yisheng again,¡°You are assigned to the tumor inpatient department, these places willoften move around, be sure to know and be familiar with the Oncology doctors. ¡± At this time, out of the consultation room is a man. He clearly just changed his clothes, hands still buttoning his shirt, and shocked to find that he was in front of so many nurses. ¡°Doctor Zhuo is off duty?¡± The Head Nurse smiled. This is the Xiao Zhuozi, Zhao Jixiang talked about? Xiao Zhuozi nodded, looked at the nurses in their uniforms, ¡°What are you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m training them.¡± The Head Nurse laughed. Xiao Zhuozi acknowledges, smiles and gestures with his hand, ¡°You can continue.¡± Then casts a glance into Yisheng¡¯s eyes, then quickly pointed at her, mouth open, and for a long time did not say a word, finally couldn¡¯t hold himself back and said: ¡°Nurse, you know Zhao Jixiang, remember to tell her to get off her work, tell her not to hang about and don¡¯t be late. ¡± Yisheng stunned, nodded. Thanked Xiao Zhuozi, then left. Head nurse looked at hiswatch and saw the time, and said: ¡°I know you young people have some activities to do, time to get off, do not delay and go ahead.¡± The nurses bowed politely to the head nurse, walked to the locker room in an orderlymanner. When they could no longer see the Head Nurse, they explosively rushed away. Yisheng was pushing behind a few, dumbfounded. This really is a very important activity, ah. She paced slowly to the locker room, only to see Zhao Jixiang impatiently pacing back and forth by the doorway. ¡°Jixiang.¡± Yisheng called, Zhao Jixiang looked up and saw Yisheng, flew over towards, taking her to the locker room with a ¡°Hurry up and get dressed.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t rush, the party is an hour and half from now.¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m anxious, we have to head to the hair salon.¡± Zhao Jixiang had a look that could turn iron into steel (T/N: I searched it up and it¡¯s supposedly an idiom that means to be anxious). And Yisheng¡¯s plan is to live, not sing at a KTV? [9] Turns out, it does. She entered the locker room and saw some nurses seriously applying make-up. Yisheng completely black lined (T/N: the emoticon with black vertical lines on the head. (-_-|||)) Male doctors in Oncology must be really attractive. Zhao Jixiang pulled Yisheng into a more luxurious hair salon, and was forced by Zhao Jixiang to sit in a chair, asking the stylist to make her look good. Yisheng didn¡¯t like changing her hairstyle. Since childhood she always preferred to have her hair long and straight. But this hair stylist gave her hair volume, like a princess. She looked at herself in the mirror, dumbfounded. She had a look of a princess. Zhao Jixiang also did the back of her hair and made it into a bob cut, making it stand out more. The hairstyle is okay, but if it was permanent, Yisheng would faint she didn¡¯t want to be a virtuous lady. [10] Zhao Jixiang was shocked upon seeing Yisheng¡¯s ¡°shining¡± hairstyle, then pulled her around in a circle, whispering, ¡°I say, Yisheng, you¡¯re a natural beauty. How do you not deserve great doctors? Well, let them take a look at this.¡± They originally planned to immediately go to the KTV at the appointmented time. But Zhao Jixiang accidentally glanced at Yisheng¡¯s shoes, and black lined. ¡°Yisheng, you¡¯re a woman and you¡¯re wearing flats?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like to wear high heels.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, you¡¯ll learn to love it. The situation calls for it, understand?¡± Zhao Jixiang then dragged Yisheng to buy shoes. Zhao Jixiang quoted a saying, what is a woman¡¯s woman [11], must wear high heels to walk, chest out, head raised and strides held with pride. Of course, asides from women who are flat-footed and can¡¯t wear heels. Yisheng rarely wears high heels, and putting on the pair of shoes, it is nothing like what Zhao Jixiang said; she tried puffing out her abdomen and chest, and raising her head proudly, but she looked like a crippled person, and seemed as if she would fall at any time. Zhao Jixiang sees Yisheng¡¯s awkward footing, and demonstrated a few steps, heels stomping with a ¡°thump thump¡± sound, matching her dignified posture, as if giving an impression of someone with style. Zhao Jixiang said: ¡°Yisheng, your posture too ugly.¡± ¡°I do not like to wear high heels, I¡¯ve always been wearing flats since university.¡± Yisheng¡¯s feet wobbled. Zhao Jixiang curiously stared at her as if she is seeing the original cavemen. ¡°Hey, Yisheng ah, you are 25 years old, might as well learn to wear high heels since your height isn¡¯t very high. Do you not feel like a dwarf?¡± Yisheng ¨C only 1.62 meters tall (5.3¡ä feet), really needed high heels to fill in the height. Acknowledging this, she nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll try.¡± Now that she¡¯s started working, she can no longer dress like a student. Her intentions were very clear, and Zhao Jixiang, when she first came to oncology, became famous. She didn¡¯t depend on her family relations to go through the back door, but by relying on a man. The proud and jealous top students extremely despised this. Coupled with their own dirt, it added more to the gossips. [12] They went to the KTV later than the the appointed time. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Xiao Zhuozi pacing back and forth with his phone in his hand, seemingly looking very anxious. When Zhao Jixiang saw Xiao Zhuozi, she immediately stopped and pulled out a cell phone from her bag, her face pales at the sight. She shot a curious look at Yisheng, before returning gaze to her phone ¨C 18 missed calls. No wonder she didn¡¯t notice, her phone was in silent mode. Xiao Zhuozi finally sees the two, and when he caught sight of Zhao Jixiang, he became enraged, and shouted. ¡°I told you not be late, you will not die if you¡¯re not late.¡± ¡°I¡¯m always late, it¡¯s none of your business?¡± Zhao Jixiang snaps with a sharp voice and piercing glare. Looking irritable, Xiao Zhuozi angrily walks away. Zhao Jixiang lost her momentum, staring at his back, was also stubborn and felt awkward. Yisheng asked, ¡°Jixiang, do we go too?¡± ¡°Go, why not?¡± Zhao Jixiang pulled Yisheng¡¯s hand, and rushed in. ¡°Slow down, my heels.¡± Yisheng staggered behind Zhao Jixiang, embarrassed. Zhao Jixiang turned with Yisheng [13], and managed to only knock on the door. Originally it wasn¡¯t a very noisy environment, but a sudden sharp voice went through their eardrums, causing them to be shocked. Inside the huge room were many men and women moving uniformly, even if their appearance all differed from one another. Some raised their legs and gestured for Yisheng and Zhao Jixiang to come in, some were playing on their own, and others grabbed at the microphone to sing. [14] The gathering of people who looked as if they were students graduating this year, a period in time where in youthful happiness was its peak, had an air of vigor around them. Zhao Jixiang squinted and glanced at Xiao Zhuozi, looking across the crowd surrounding Xiao Zhuozi and saw Song Anchen sitting next to him, and incidentally when Zhao Jixiang made Yisheng sit, she was sitting left of Song Anchen. Yisheng sat unnaturally and in a rigid manner. Her eyes did not dare glance sideways. When she first entered the KTV room, she had seen him and noticed that he took off his uniform. Adorned in his gold rimmed glasses, he put on a simple t-shirt, giving him a ¡®boy next door¡¯ feel and his refreshing appearance made him seem as if he was in high school. Yisheng, feeling ill at ease, couldn¡¯t calm down and she glanced to the left at Zhao Jixiang, who was staring at Xiao Zhuozi, still sulking. Zhao Jixiang suddenly stood up, went on stage to sing karaoke, her gaze never leaving Xiao Zhuozi. Unkowingly, he stood up and followed suit, grabbing Zhao Jixiang, ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± [15] ¡°You let go.¡± But Xiao Zhuozi was strong and ignored Zhao Jixiang struggles, taking her outside. Yisehing blinked as she watched the whole process unfold, she thought something was off between the two. A nurse asked who¡¯s song was next, but no one replied. [16] Yisheng looked at the screen, stunned surprised for a moment, the song was ¡°If you love to go.¡± ¡°Who is this?¡± A little fat Liu Xiao asked. ¡°It should be Zhao Jixiang¡¯s.¡± ¡°And now who is going to sing?¡± ¡°After it.¡± ¡°What? But this song sounds good.¡± This song was extremely popular and Yisheng learned the song since it seemed to resonate with her, so she likes this song. She laughed: ¡°I¡¯ll sing it.¡± Xiao Liu had not heard Yisheng sing, and immediately handed her the mic with enthusiasm. ¡°Remember the sad song, ha,¡± she clapped her hands, ¡°Come, listen to Yisheng sing this beautiful song.¡± [17] Suddenly the room applauded her, embarrassed, Yisheng could only giggle. She made eye contact with Song Anchen¡¯s extremely deep eyes, his pupils looked like a pair of stars and her heart missed a beat. She took a deep breath and began to follow the melody, singing along. ¡°And we seem to be on that street Lights of the city broke up two tragedies Let¡¯s embrace one another and rush to the party Looking at them, there are tears in my eyes Don¡¯t look back in either directions with a broken and tearful face If we replayed yesterday A long time ago, what would happened if we continued to love I once believed in forever Before, in your warm hands, there¡¯s no need to imagine After endlessly wandering alone A long time ago, what would happen if we continued to love a long time ago There is no doubt love is like a faith But life looks different I hope I will never learn strong to be strong¡­ ¡± Whenever she sang this song, her emotions would cause her to recall the past. She clasped the mic, eyes intently watching the screen and brimming with tears. As if remembering about their own stories, all around quietly listened to her sing with dedication. Songan Chen has been semi-leaning next to her. He could even smell the faint flavor of the ocean on her, it was her favorite perfume, light and fragrant. Open-minded with a brighter future. She once said, she wanted to be a fish and travel across the ocean. Furthermore, grow old as an elderly couple to tell their children and grandchildren that they once roamed in the past; also wanting to talk about their romantic endeavors together. [18] A long time ago, what would happened if they continued to love? When she finished he song, the people jeered and clapped repeatedly. Yisheng just smiled innocently, she knew that behind her were a pair of eyes watching her, this song was sung for him. [19] It was someone else¡¯s turn to sing, Yisheng sat still and pretended to listen. Suddenly, the man beside her stood up and went out, baffling Yisheng. The nurse stopped singing, seeing Song Anchen leave. Yisheng looked at the sit he used to sat, her heart suddenly sinking. After three songs later, Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi did not come back, Song Anchen also did not return. Yisheng went to the bathroom. Leaving the KTV room, she turned around the corner and saw Song Anchen smoking against the wall, his head raised as he breathed out a smoke of tobacco, like untied sorrow, his entire back leaned against the wall, and eyes to the ceiling in a daze. The shot from the side of a handsome figure looking sad, seemed profound. Yisheng wanted to walk back so as not to disturb him, but she hit the decorative pot behind her, the sound was audible enough for Song Anchen to hear. When she carefully placed the pot back in its place, she looked up to see that Song Anchen¡¯s body was turned towards her, expression complexed, coupled with weary eyes. ¡°I¡­ I wanted to go to the bathroom,¡± she looked around, ¡°Can¡¯t seem to find it, huh¡­¡± She was a little confused, unable to keep calm. Song Anchen was still motionless, eyes continuosly peering at Yisheng intently. ¡°I¡¯ll go back and look.¡± Yisheng pointed behind her, immediately turning to flee. ¡°Ye Yisheng.¡± Songan Chen finally spoke. Yisheng quickly halted to a stop, wanting to cry but no tears fell. Hate yourself for wanting to go to the bathroom, ah. Her body froze in place, heart tightening as the footsteps behind grew closer. She took a deep breath, turned around and threw Song Ancen a big smile, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Brother Song?¡± Song Anchen takes her hand and presses her against the wall with her in his arms, blocking all escape routes. Yisheng didn¡¯t get a chance to be surprised as Song Anchen cups her cheeks and fiercely gives her a kiss. Her eyes widened, and in a state of extreme shock, her mouth was slightly agape, giving him the advantage as his tongue enters her mouth. He gently caressed and probed around, gently sucking her lips, all the while carefully waiting for her reaction. ¡°Breathe.¡± Song Anchen coaxed and guided her step by step. Yisheng blinked, and obediently obeyed. His dark eyes had a hint of kindness in them, before covering her lips with his once more. The lingering taste of tobacco, his hands caressing her back across her thin t-shirt, Yisheng felt feverish. She was trembling and could not not stop him, or her longing for him. Finally, he left her lips, his eyes not leaving her slightly swollen mouth, he said: ¡°You can go to the bathroom now, it¡¯s right up ahead.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Yisheng felt extremely embarrassed. Song Anchen teased: ¡°This was the toll.¡± Then he proudly walked towards the way back. Yisheng was completely still, before promptly turning around, gazing towards Song Anchen¡¯s back, and wildly kicking at thin air. Of course, eating her tofu. [20] (T/N: to eat one¡¯s tofu is a chinese idiom of ¡®to take advantage of¡¯) Suddenly, Song Anchen looked back. Seeing Yisheng¡¯s rebellious posture and unladylike appearance, Song Anchen chuckled. ¡°Ye Yisheng, your kissing technique is somewhat shaky.¡± Song Anchen immediately gave a charming smile, then turned back once again. ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng gnashed her teeth, spun around and headed to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. When she entered the ladies restroom, she saw Zhao Jixiang putting on lipstick by the sink, bright red and swollen lips. ¡°Why is your mouth swollen?¡± Yisheng walked over, holding her face and asked. ¡°Your mouth is also swollen.¡± Zhao Jixiang also cupped her face and asked. They both blushed at this time. CH 7 After that incident, one night, Yisheng was on duty with Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang had been asking Yisheng who that mysterious man was, but Yisheng did not tell her. She was trying to avoid worrying about this matter. It was not the first time that Song Anchen and played a prank on her. When she was in junior high school, in Year Three, she had managed to do well and was admitted to the same high school as Song Anchen. The two families had decided to go to a KTV together to sing and enjoy themselves. Just when they were singing happily, Song Anchen said that he had a gift for her and asked her to come out. At that time, she had been excited and interested as she left the room. However, she had not expected that this gift was a lingering kiss¡­ it was after that time that she lost her first kiss. With her experience from before, she thought that what had happened was him playing a prank on her. On the other hand, Yisheng was very curious about the matter between Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi. Zhao Jixiang did not hide the story between her and Xiao Zhuozi from Yisheng and told her everything. They had gotten together in their first year of university. Because Zhao Jixiang was not very sensitive about such things, she did not hold back when she hung out with other guys, always causing Xiao Zhuozi to be jealous. Xiao Zhuozi and Song Anchen were good friends, and Song Anchen had many girls that liked him but he refused to interact with any of the girls. The women that were around Song Anchen wanted to get close to him but could not. Thus, they would often make use of Xiao Zhuozi to try to get close to Song Anchen. Naturally, when Zhao Jixiang saw such things, she would feel very uncomfortable. She found it unacceptable that there were so many women surrounding her boyfriend, no matter the reason. Thus, she directly broke up with him. Xiao Zhuozi on the other hand thought that she had broken up with him because she fell for someone else and thought that he was the victim. From then on, the two of them refused to acknowledge each other. However, neither of them expected that they would be interning at the same hospital after they graduated from university. They were even interning at the same department. They had originally wanted to continue treating each other like strangers, but they were unable to forget each other and they knew that what happened in the past was a misunderstanding. Yet the two of them were stubborn and refused to give in. That was until Xiao Zhuozi bumped into Zhao Jixiang and a man shopping. He could not stand it anymore and exploded. It was only after that he found out that it was a misunderstanding. That man was her cousin, she was accompanying her cousin to buy a gift for her aunt. However, these were all unimportant. The most important thing was that the two of them have settled their differences and were back together, as good as ever. When Yisheng heard Zhao Jixiang¡¯s story, she could not help laughing, ¡°I didn¡¯t realize that you are so devoted. You dated for one year, but could not forget about him for four years.¡± Zhao Jixiang did not think that it was such a big deal, ¡°What¡¯s four years? Some people cling to their first partner their whole life. Yisheng, some people are just that strange. They¡¯ll only like one person for their whole life.¡± Yisheng trembled and she laughed uneasily. Zhao Jixiang had originally wanted to talk more about it but was interrupted by the bell. Yisheng said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s the area you¡¯re in charge of. Go to Ward 163 and have a look, someone pressed the bell.¡± Jixiang stood up and walked out of the duty room, looking disappointed. There was no one around at that moment. Yisheng¡¯s eyes that had been twinkling lowered, and no one could see the emotions in her eyes. Some people would only like one person for their whole life. Perhaps, her whole life was already ruined. She sighed, and casually took out a ¡®Medical Care¡¯ book from the drawer to flip through. She rested her head in one hand and flipped the book with her other hand. The rate at which she was flipping through the book was extremely fast. She was just skimming through it. Suddenly, another bell rang. She looked up to check. It was still Zhao Jixiang¡¯s area, but Zhao Jixiang had yet to return, so naturally, she went instead. When she walked to Ward G31, it was a private ward, which was known as a high-class ward. Yisheng knocked on the door but no one opened it. She was stunned, could it be that the patient¡¯s condition worsened? She scared herself with those thoughts and pushed the door open, but was startled by the sight in front of her. The patient was about seventeen to eighteen years old, he had gauze tied on his head, and he was eating popcorn as he crossed his legs and shook them. He was holding a magazine in one hand and was enjoying himself. He was a little rascal-like boy who did not look like he was feeling uncomfortable and needed help. Yisheng was slightly angry, ¡°Mister, you shouldn¡¯t joke around like this.¡± The man who was completely absorbed in whatever he was doing finally moved his gaze from the magazine to glance at her, saying in slight shock, ¡°Oh, a nurse came?¡± Yisheng tried her best to keep calm. She said, ¡°You rang the bell just now.¡± ¡°I was just bored, so I rang it randomly. I didn¡¯t expect that the nurses would really come when I call. The service attitude of this hospital is not bad,¡± He suddenly jumped up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, ¡°Sister Nurse, I¡¯m so bored, come and chat with me.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re fine, I¡¯ll leave now,¡± She could not be bothered to pay attention to this sort of patient that had nothing better to do. She was about to turn around when that boy suddenly rolled on the bed and yelled, ¡°It hurts, I¡¯m in so much pain.¡± Yisheng stopped her movements and gritted her teeth. She turned around and reluctantly walked to the bedside, glaring at the troublemaker, ¡°Which part of your body is hurting?¡± ¡°It hurts here,¡± He pointed at his heart, ¡°My heart is so painful, Sister Nurse is ignoring me.¡± Yisheng smiled slyly, narrowing her eyes and patting his cheek. After that, she started to pinch his cheeks roughly. The boy was yelping due to Yisheng¡¯s sudden attack. ¡°Remember, nurses only take care of sick patients, not bored patients,¡± After she said that, Yisheng tossed her hair and left, not even turning her head back once. She left a stunned boy holding the cheeks that she had patted, dazed. When Yisheng returned to the duty room, she saw that the duty room had another person. Zhao Jixiang was sitting on Xiao Zhuozi¡¯s thigh and removing the skin of an apple. Yisheng did not know whether she should enter the room or leave and hesitated. She then gritted her teeth and decided to walk in without caring. ¡°Hi, Xiao Zhuozi,¡± Yisheng greeted normally, and Xiao Zhuozi was stunned that someone had arrived. ¡°Yisheng, where have you been? A few bells were ringing in your area. Doctor Song said that you should go there quickly when you come back,¡± Zhao Jixiang acted as if no one was there, continuing to peel her apples and was even very considerate, shoving some apple slices to Xiao Zhuozi for him to eat. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go?¡± ¡°Doctor Song is not interested in me. He specifically said your name and asked you to go,¡± Zhao Jixiang sniffed, looking sad. Xiao Zhuozi pinched her arm, gritted his teeth, and said, ¡°You can go if you want to, I¡¯ll help you talk to him.¡± ¡°I only have you in my heart, darling, come here, eat some peaches,¡± Zhao Jixiang hugged him, sweetly acting cute towards him. Xiao Zhuozi opened his lips to eat the fruits she passed him, Zhao Jixiang acting cute obviously worked very well on him. Yisheng saw how nauseatingly sweet they were acting and could not help but tremble, goosebumps all over her skin. There were many ways to deal with this solution, but the best method was to leave. When she arrived at Ward 37, she stood at the door for a while and saw someone wearing a white coat doing a physical examination through the door. Why was she so tragic? They even had the same shift. She gritted her teeth and lightly knocked on the door before she opened it, walking in. At that moment, Song Anchen turned around to look at her, giving her instructions, ¡°Get the blood pressure monitor.¡± Yisheng nodded her head and instantly left. As expected, he did not treat the ¡®forced kiss¡¯ from a few days ago as something serious. Why did she still care about it? Yisheng hit her own head. It was all her fault for overthinking things. Yisheng was continuously ordered around by Song Anchen, for example, he would ask her to get a blood pressure machine, or the case file of the patient, and after that, he would ask her to get a thermometer. Yisheng would normally bring everything around because these were medical items that were necessary for physical examinations. However, she was distracted and did not enter the correct state. When Song Anchen finally lost his patience with her because he had to keep giving her instructions for her to do things, he finally frowned, and criticized severely, ¡°You are trained in nursing. Shouldn¡¯t you know that as a nurse, your job is to help the doctor and not cause additional trouble for the doctor?¡± She gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not as outstanding as you.¡± Song Anchen took a deep breath and no longer paid any attention to her, continuing to do the physical examination for the patient. Yisheng did not want to continue standing there and getting despised by Song Anchen. She instantly turned around and left, returning to the entrance of the duty room. She just happened to see Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi flirting and kissing. She walked back out, not wanting to disturb them. She wandered back and forth in the corridor until she happened to meet Song Anchen, who had finished the physical examinations. The two of them met eyes for a moment. Yisheng wanted to completely ignore him and walk off. However, a certain someone did not allow her wish to come through. At the moment she walked past him, he grabbed her shoulder. ¡°Ye Yisheng, do you have something against me?¡± Song Anchen showed his handsome face and even flashed her his trademark smile. Yisheng struggled slightly and broke free. Obviously, Song Anchen did not intend to hold on tightly and not let her go. Yisheng smiled in response, ¡°How could it be? Doctor Song is the elite, I should be worshipping you, why would I have something against you?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± His slender eyes narrowed into a slit and he looked at her mischievously, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride home tonight.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± She objected instantly without hesitation. ¡°I thought that you said that you don¡¯t have anything against me?¡± He was still smiling. Did he think that if she had no problem with him, he could give her a ride home? Yisheng did not know how to answer. If she rejected him again, he would definitely insist and say that she had something against him; If she agreed, she would do it unwillingly. She hesitated for a long time before she finally agreed with much reluctance, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble Doctor Song then.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble,¡± Song Anchen smiled and prepared to leave before he suddenly thought of something. ¡°It seems that our shifts are the same. In the future, I can send you back, seeing that you¡¯ve called me ¡®Little Brother Song¡¯ for so many years.¡± ¡°¡­¡± What sort of logic is that? ¡°Could it be that you don¡¯t know? In the schedule, we¡¯re on duty at the same time,¡± He gave her a brilliant smile. ¡°¡­¡± She really wanted to die at this moment. How could it be so coincidental? ¡°Alright, you can continue with your work,¡± He walked off. He left behind Yisheng, who was still standing there like a fool. She suddenly felt that she could not deal with the consequences of calling him ¡®Little Brother Song¡¯ for so many years. T/N: Hehe thank you Platypus for recommending this book HAHAHA hopefully it lives up to your expectations~ Anyway cause this book might lack a bit in terms of fluffiness when it comes to chapters about the past, Married to a Disabled Man in the 70¡¯s is super duper fluffy hahahaha. Maybe everyone¡¯s already read it but it¡¯s sooo heartwarming + Platypus has been working hard at TLing it!! Anyway! Just a heads-up, this chapter is a two-part chapter! She wandered in the corridor for some time and she thought that the two of them in the room must be done with their kissing, right? She returned to the duty room and saw that only Zhao Jixiang was left inside. Zhao Jixiang seemed to have waited for Yisheng for a very long time. She saw Yisheng, who had just entered the room, and hurriedly waved her hand to call her over, ¡°Your phone has been ringing for a long time.¡± Yisheng was stunned and took out her phone from the drawer and checked the missed calls. It was from her senior. She sent a message, ¡°Why is senior trying to contact me?¡± After she sent the text message, Yisheng thought about how she should change her number. She had kept using a foreign number and could not even bear to make a phone call. After a while, she received a text. ¡°I heard that you¡¯re on duty today. Do you want me to send you home?¡± Yisheng replied, ¡°There¡¯s no need, I can go back myself. Senior, you can go do whatever you need to do.¡± Another text arrived, ¡°Alright, take care on your way back.¡± Yisheng did not reply anymore. She put her phone back into the drawer and began to flip through that thick book, ¡®Medical Care¡¯, again. Zhao Jixiang, who was sitting next to her stretched out her neck and asked, her expression full of curiosity, ¡°Yisheng, I want to know, do you have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°Hm? I¡¯m obviously the type of person that doesn¡¯t have a boyfriend.¡± ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly laughed slyly. Yisheng moved away from her, feeling uncomfortable, ¡°Zhao Jixiang, what are you thinking of doing?¡± ¡°Yisheng ah, we¡¯re already 25 years old,¡± Zhao Jixiang got close to her again and squeezed into her personal space, sharing a chair with her. Zhao Jixiang placed an arm around Yisheng¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Time doesn¡¯t wait for anyone. In the theories made by many people, we are considered junior leftovers. We still dare to continue fighting for men, so we¡¯re also called the ¡®Leftover Fighters¡¯.¡± Yisheng narrowed her eyes, ¡°What exactly do you want to say?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Sunday tomorrow, I¡¯ll bring you on a blind date,¡± Zhao Jixiang said quickly. ¡°What? A blind date? I won¡¯t go,¡± Yisheng widened her eyes, hurriedly turning her head away to ignore Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang continued to stick to Yisheng, pulling on Yisheng¡¯s arm and shaking it, ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, just take it as you¡¯re accompanying me there.¡± ¡°Eh? Don¡¯t you already have Xiao Zhuozi? Why are you still going on a blind date?¡± ¡°My Mom doesn¡¯t know that I have a boyfriend, she helped me find a blind date partner and asked me to go tomorrow. My life is so hard!¡± Zhao Jixiang started to act pathetic. Yisheng gazed at the sky for a long time, ¡°If it¡¯s to accompany you, I can consider going for it.¡± ¡°Aiya, Yisheng is the best, muacks~¡± Zhao Jixiang was also happy and directly kissed Yisheng¡¯s face. ¡°You left saliva on my face,¡± Yisheng hurriedly wiped her face and pushed her away from her seat, allowing Yisheng to occupy her whole chair again without having to squeeze. Zhao Jixiang walked away without complaints or regrets, even winking at Yisheng. Yisheng chuckled, then begun to flip through ¡®Medical Care¡¯, bored. However, her thoughts had suddenly returned to what Zhao Jixiang said about leftover women. She was 25 this year and had officially entered the ranks of leftover women. In her present state, how could she open her heart and look for a boyfriend? She was worried and pulled at her hair in annoyance. Sigh, it was a tragedy. (T/N: Leftover women is the Chinese term for women that are above a certain age and are believed to be ¡®leftover¡¯, such that they would not be able to find a husband. It¡¯s quite an¡­ old-fashioned kind of thinking) *** When her shift ended, the next shift of nurses replaced Yisheng and Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang was naturally taken away by her ¡®escort¡¯. Yisheng sent the lovey-dovey couple off with her gaze and pursed her lips, walking out of the hospital with a feeling of emptiness. She shuffled her feet and lowered her head, looking quite downcast. Suddenly, there was the sound of a car honking behind her, she instinctively gave way and took a look at the car. Ah, the license plate number is five ¡®8¡¯s! Isn¡¯t this the Bentley that had splashed her with water on her first day of work? That car suddenly stopped in front of her and the car window was lowered. Song Anchen told her, ¡°Get in the car.¡± It was at this moment that Yisheng remembered the matter of Song Anchen giving her a ride home. She hesitated for a moment, then opened the rear car door and got in. The Bentley drove off after a while. There was an Audi Q7 stopped behind the Bentley and the man inside looked straight ahead. At last, with a self-mocking smile, he casually lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath. He took big breaths but did not breathe out much. This sort of smoking method was very harmful to the lungs. Normally, when he smoked, he would only smoke in a very casual manner, breathing out the same amount that he breathed in. Perhaps he felt a little upset after waiting for the whole night. After he finished smoking a cigarette, he put it out and started the car. *** In the Bentley, Yisheng kept looking out of the car even though there was nothing much to look at outside. Song Anchen glanced at her through the rearview mirror, ¡°Are you hungry?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry,¡± She paused for a moment and said, looking at the back of his head. Song Anchen did not say anything for a long time. After pondering for an extended period, he said, ¡°Where¡¯s your house?¡± ¡°Hua Yuan Estate.¡± (T/N: Just for reference, Hua Yuan means garden!) ¡°It¡¯s very close to where I stay.¡± Of course, she knew. She rolled her eyes at the back of his head. This fierce Bentley that seemed to have drunk Red Bull and the dumb bad driver were the culprits that had caused her to be covered in water. How could she not remember them? (T/N: Not super sure about the Red Bull reference, but it could be a reference to the wings part of the Red Bull. The second part about him being dumb uses the reference of Sanlu milk powder, saying that he drank Sanlu milk powder while growing up, you can search it up! It¡¯s the famous milk powder incident) When the car reached the parking lot of Hua Yuan estate, Yisheng hurriedly thanked him, ¡°Thank you, Little Brother Song.¡± She had originally wanted to open the door and get out, but unexpectedly, Song Anchen had got out before her and had helped her to open the car door in a gentlemanly manner. She sat in the car and raised her gaze to look at him, confused. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You can¡¯t bear to come out? Do you want to stay at your Little Brother Song¡¯s house for the night?¡± He used his thin and long eyes to smile, causing Yisheng¡¯s whole body to tremble. She was extremely scared of this sort of smile. It caused her to have goosebumps all over. The two of them remained silent, walking with one person in front and the other behind. When they reached the block where Yisheng stayed, Yisheng muttered, ¡°I¡¯ve reached home, thank you.¡± Song Anchen said, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± He did not say it any earlier or later and had waited till they reached the block of apartments she stayed at before he said such words. What he wanted was obvious. Yisheng gritted her teeth, ¡°You can come to my house and I¡¯ll make you something to eat.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± He said with a smile. His evil intentions were showing. Yisheng completely despised him in her heart. CH 8 Yisheng¡¯s house was a typical single person¡¯s apartment. Although it was small, it had everything she needed. When Yisheng opened the door to let Song Anchen in, Song Anchen began to look at her house. He did not deliberately look at everything and instead, glanced at everything casually. Yisheng invited him to sit on the sofa, a little hesitant, ¡°You can take a seat, I¡¯ll take a look at what food I have.¡± She turned around and walked towards her kitchen. Song Anchen looked at her walk off with a strange look in his eyes. When Yisheng opened the refrigerator, she first searched the chiller for vegetables but found that aside from a few tomatoes, some shriveled shallots, and a row of eggs, as well as a few bottles of carbonated drinks, she had nothing at all. She felt that the situation was bad and hurriedly opened the freezer. It turned out to be worse than the chiller, there were only a few frozen chicken wings left. She thought in her heart, with so little food in the refrigerator, she did not know what to do. She closed her refrigerator door and walked towards Song Anchen, embarrassed, ¡°Well, let¡¯s go out and eat, there¡¯s nothing much at home to eat.¡± Song Anchen asked, ¡°You don¡¯t keep some food stocked up at home?¡± It was not that she did not keep food stocked up at home. It was just that she did not think that it was necessary. She would eat her meals in the hospital when she was on duty, and if she was hungry at night, she could just make instant noodles. Of course, she could not let him eat the instant noodles in her stock. Song Anchen saw that she did not answer and frowned, walking towards the kitchen. Yisheng made way for him and let him walk into the kitchen. Anyway, there was nothing in the kitchen, so even if he looked at it, there was nothing for him to look at. But she forgot that he was Song Anchen, the prince that had been recognized as a unique presence in their high school. He took a look at what was left in the fridge and quickly took out a bottle of coke, shallots, and the frozen chicken wings. He first went to boil a pot of water and cooked the rice. After that, he wore an apron and found some ginger in the kitchen, skillfully chopping it into slices. Then, he cut the scallion and washed the chicken wings, using a knife to cut two holes in the chicken wings. After he was done preparing everything, he started to light the stove, pour in the oil, adding white sugar, then sliding the chicken wings along the edge of the pan into the boiling oil. After he fried it a little till the chicken skins were slightly yellow, he poured in some coke, soy sauce, scallion, ginger slices and brought it to a boil, lowering the heat and allowing it to simmer till the sauce was almost gone. That was his completed dish. Yisheng looked at him busying himself, a little dazed. There was a homely warmth surrounding Song Anchen who was wearing an apron. That handsome side profile¡¯s serious and attentive face caused him to have a touch of closeness. Yisheng did not know why, but when she looked at him, her nose scrunched up. This sort of man¡­ Song Anchen then took out a tomato and a few eggs from the fridge, making a large bowl of tomato and egg soup. When he finished making all the dishes that he could make, Song Anchen brought out the dishes and told Yisheng, ¡°You can go and scoop out the rice.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng hurriedly went to scoop out two bowls of rice and carried it to the table, handing him a bowl. The two of them then begun to eat in silence. Yisheng would occasionally look up to sneak a glance at Song Anchen, who was eating with a calm expression. After she took a glance, she would immediately shrink into herself and continue eating her food. Yisheng swore that she was actually someone who liked eating vegetarian food, but this meal, she ate three-quarters of the chicken wings. In total, there were just four chicken wings. When she saw the chicken bones that she had spit out into her plate, she felt very ashamed. Song Anchen wiped his mouth, seeing her embarrassed expression, he knew what she was thinking and said mildly, ¡°Thank you for showing such support for me.¡± Yisheng¡¯s mouth trembled. She wanted to cry without tears. She was too greedy. Song Anchen stood up and started to collect the chopsticks and bowls. Yisheng suddenly had a thought and hurriedly stopped him, ¡°Let me do it, let me do it. You can watch some TV on the sofa.¡± It seemed that Song Anchen had not expected Yisheng to say that. He was stunned for a moment, before he said with a brilliant smile, ¡°Alright.¡± What was there to be so happy about? Yisheng did not really understand. However, when she saw the clock on the wall, she freaked out. It was already half past six in the morning. She had forgotten that her night shift was until five in the morning. When she saw Song Anchen sitting on the sofa and switching on the television to watch it, Yisheng narrowed her eyes, wasn¡¯t he sleepy? Just when she had that thought, she yawned. She shook her head to stop herself from feeling sleepy, she needed to wake up. But she kept feeling sleepy while she was washing the dishes and, in the end, she could not even open her eyes. She slapped herself on her face and woke up slightly. She yawned heavily and poured Song Anchen a cup of water. When she sent it to the living room, she was a little stunned. He had fallen asleep and his head was slightly turned to the side, his chin slightly lowered, as if he was exhausted. Yisheng put down the cup lightly, and sat next to him, looking at him. She could not help but raise her hand to touch this man. His long and dark eyelashes quivered slightly, the nose that she had once said was the most perfect nose was slightly breathing, and that sexy and soft lips. Before her hand touched those lips, a hand grabbed her restless hand. When their eyes met¡­ Yisheng turned red with shame. She wanted to pull her hand out of his grasp, but he did not let go. She anxiously explained, ¡°I saw a mosquito on your face just now and wanted to hit it to kill it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re hitting it very gently,¡± Song Anchen narrowed his thing and long eyes, his smile seemed to have knives hidden in it. She laughed and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve always been very gentle.¡± She laughed awkwardly for a long while, but she was the only one laughing. She found it meaningless and stopped laughing. When their eyes met again, Yisheng only felt that she wanted to faint. She was feeling too awkward, it was all because of her restless hands, why did she want to take advantage of him while he was sleeping? Now, she was caught by him and she was completely disgraced and embarrassed. He approached her little by little. She retreated bit by bit, and the situation instantly changed to the woman being below and the man pressing down on her¡­ He supported his body with his two hands. Below him was Yisheng, whose face had turned pale with fear. For a long time, the two of them were stuck in that position quietly. Yisheng could even feel the warmth from his breath. His pair of deep and mysterious eyes seemed to have a mischievous glint in them, smiling as he looked at her, his body lowering bit by bit. She saw him getting closer and closer but had nowhere to retreat to. She forcefully closed her eyes, looking like she was facing her doom. But after she waited for a long time, what she expected to happen did not happen. She opened her eyes slightly but saw that Song Anchen was looking at the Rolex on his left hand in a good mood. Yisheng did not understand what he was looking at. She then saw him smile and say in a doting manner, ¡°It¡¯s almost seven.¡± Yisheng did not understand. He straightened up again, removing the pressure he was placing on her. He arranged his clothes back to how they were before and stood up, ¡°I¡¯ll return home now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng nodded her head, a little distracted, ¡°Bye-bye.¡± Song Anchen simply smiled and walked towards the door. Yisheng followed behind him slowly. When he completely vanished from before her eyes, she had yet to return to her senses. She recalled her embarrassment from before and pulled at her hair, irritated. Song Anchen must be despising her from the bottom of his heart. She pinched her forehead. After what happened just now, she was not sleepy at all. However, in the afternoon, she needed to accompany Zhao Jixiang on a blind date. She had to rest. In the end, she chose to take a cold shower, then go to bed. Back in the parking lot, Song Anchen did not drive off for a long while. He kept sitting in the car in a daze, deep emotions in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something and was very focused. He rested his forehead in his hand, a melancholic expression on his face. He took out his phone and opened his multimedia document. There were only two photos there, and these two photos were both photos of him and her. The first photo was of her with her refreshing short hair, she was wearing a sky blue Teenie Weenie hooded dress, hugging him from behind with both hands, her smile was like that of a flower, but he was not smiling. She had once complained that he did not want to take photos with her. That was not true, it was their first time acting so intimately and he was just feeling shy. When his finger hovered over the second photo, he did not click on it for a long time. He just looked at the blurry photo in the catalog, seeming to be deep in thoughts. He could barely see that it was a photo with both him and her, and he looked at this blurry photo for a long time without opening it, his eyes slightly dazed. Finally, he turned off his phone and started his car, the sound of his car starting up was like his restless heart and he drove off, leaving Hua Yuan Estate. *** Yisheng was woken up by her ringtone. She fumbled for her mobile phone, in a daze. When she saw that it was Zhao Jixiang¡¯s call, she instantly woke up, quickly jumping up and answering the phone call. ¡°Miss Yisheng, can I ask, where are you?¡± ¡°At home,¡± She knew it was over for her. ¡°Do you know what time we agreed to meet, and what time it is now?¡± She pulled her phone away from her ear and took a look. They had agreed to meet at three, and it happened to be three currently. Yisheng coughed lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll fly to you at the speed of light.¡± ¡°Come on!¡± Zhao Jixiang instantly spoke English. That voice¡­ Yisheng directly pulled her phone away from her ear, letting Zhao Jixiang yell first. The exact time that she got to the caf¨¦ was 3:46 pm, this was already the fastest Yisheng could get there. This caf¨¦ was not far from Yisheng¡¯s house, it was just opposite to the restaurant that Yan Heng had brought her to eat at last time, but she needed to at least clean herself up and ensure that her appearance was good, so she was a little delayed. Zhao Yisheng was about to explode. When she saw Yisheng coming over in a hurry, she pointed to the caf¨¦, ¡°That other party has been waiting for a long time, my image has been destroyed by you.¡± Yisheng flattened her lips, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you go in first.¡± Zhao Jixiang ignored her and directly pulled her inside. When they reached a seat near the floor-length window and Yisheng saw Zhao Jixiang¡¯s blind date, she almost spat out in shock. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle, a round belly, and a fat mouth. He was smiling as he greeted them, such an interesting person was really¡­ The two of them were a little stunned. Zhao Jixiang reacted first and swallowed her saliva silently, pushing Yisheng to sit down. The two of them had just sat down when Mr. Personality smiled and said, ¡°Which of you is Miss Zhao Jixiang?¡± ¡°Her!¡± Zhao Jixiang pointed her finger at Yisheng quickly and Yisheng was stunned for a moment, glaring at Zhao Jixiang angrily. She saw Zhao Jixiang¡¯s pitiful expression. It was as if she were saying, if Yisheng refused to cooperate, Zhao Jixiang would die on the spot. Yisheng¡¯s nostrils flared, her expression was telling Zhao Jixiang to ¡®hurry and die¡¯. ¡°May I call you Miss Jixiang?¡± The interesting gentleman smiled at Yisheng happily. His yellow teeth caused Yisheng to have goosebumps all over and she thought to herself that this Mr. Personality did not like to brush his teeth. ¡°Yes you can, you can even call me Xiang Xiang or Little Sister Jixiang,¡± Yisheng said sweetly. Since Zhao Jixiang wanted Yisheng to deal with him, she would completely ruin Zhao Jixiang¡¯s reputation, making her completely embarrassed. When Zhao Jixiang heard Yisheng say that, she almost vomited blood. Zhao Jixiang grunted, patting her chest. ¡°Ah, Little Sister Xiang Xiang is really too cute. You can also call me Brother Xiao Li.¡± (T/N: Uh Brother¡­ Interpret it as the Chinese version of ¡®oppa¡¯¡­) The two of them grunted. They had gotten serious internal injuries from hearing what he said. Brother Xiao Li seemed to have a good impression of Yisheng and completely ignored the fact that she was late, ¡°To tell you the truth, I¡¯m a nouveau riche. In recent years, I¡¯ve made tens of millions raising some crocodile turtles. My Mom felt that since I was already thirty, it was time for me to find a wife and get her to have my kids.¡± Look at what he was saying. What did he treat women as? As a tool for giving birth to children? Yisheng whispered to Zhao Jixiang, ¡°Why did your Mom introduce someone like this to you!¡± Zhao Jixiang then whispered back, ¡°My Mom likes to eat crocodile turtle meat. That¡¯s how she got to know him.¡± Yisheng was speechless. What sort of logic was this? She whispered back to Zhao Jixiang again, ¡°Can I quickly end this mess?¡± ¡°Anything you want. Feel free to completely ruin everything.¡± Brother Xiao Li looked at the two of them with a foolish smile. He thought that they had recognized him, or could it be that both of them liked him? He was even happier. Yisheng straightened up and told Brother Xiao Li, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother Xiao Li, I have a boyfriend already.¡± ¡°What?¡± Brother Xiao Li opened his mouth, shocked. When Yisheng saw how shocked he was, she felt very injured. Although she could not be considered to be extremely beautiful, she was still quite good-looking, why was he so sure that no one would want her? ¡°If¡­ If you don¡¯t believe me, I can give him a call,¡± Yisheng was very annoyed at his contempt. Brother Xiao Li turned up his nose, ¡°I would like to see how Little Sister Xiang Xiang¡¯s boyfriend looks.¡± Yisheng¡¯s self-esteem was completely trampled. She wanted to ask her senior for help, but when she called him, no one picked up. When Brother Xiao Li saw that she had called a few times but no one was picking up, he said sarcastically, ¡°Actually, if Little Sister Xiang Xiang looks down on me, you can tell me directly. There¡¯s no need to use so many tricks. I know that you nurses have begun to become pickier. In the past, you were just nannies that worked in the hospital. Now that the educational levels of nannies have increased, you naturally have higher expectations.¡± Zhao Jixiang could not stand the bitterness of this horrible man. She almost stood up and cursed at him but Yisheng stopped her, giving her a look. They were civilized people and would not bring themselves down to the level of this sort of man. Her expression did not change as she told Brother Xiao Li, ¡°I¡¯ll try to call him again.¡± This time, she chose Song Anchen¡¯s phone number. The call rang for only a few moments before he picked up, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hubby, come here, I¡¯m waiting for you at the Nan Ding Si Cafe on Tian Hu Street,¡± Yisheng cutely said to Song Anchen. To complete the act, she even acted shy in front of Brother Xiao Li. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, ¡°Ye Yisheng, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Hubby, I miss you.¡± ¡°Do you?¡± There was a chilly question from the other end of the call. Yisheng could not help trembling, but she kept acting cute. Saying in an extremely sweet manner, ¡°Stop acting, you know that you¡¯re my darling. A day without you is like three autumns, I feel that not seeing you for a day is like living a thousand years. Sweetheart, I haven¡¯t seen you for thousands of years already, I miss you! Be good, come here, muacks~¡± After she finished saying that, she instantly hung up the call. She could not imagine how irritated Song Anchen would be when he heard her words. She suddenly had a bad premonition. With Song Anchen¡¯s personality, he would either not come and treat her like she was crazy, or he would come and act even crazier than how she was acting. This time, she had made the wrong decision out of desperation, like a sickly person going to all kinds of doctors, or a person who would eat medicine blindly because they were scared of death. CH 9 Yisheng¡¯s house was a typical single person¡¯s apartment. Although it was small, it had everything she needed. When Yisheng opened the door to let Song Anchen in, Song Anchen began to look at her house. He did not deliberately look at everything and instead, glanced at everything casually. Yisheng invited him to sit on the sofa, a little hesitant, ¡°You can take a seat, I¡¯ll take a look at what food I have.¡± She turned around and walked towards her kitchen. Song Anchen looked at her walk off with a strange look in his eyes. When Yisheng opened the refrigerator, she first searched the chiller for vegetables but found that aside from a few tomatoes, some shriveled shallots, and a row of eggs, as well as a few bottles of carbonated drinks, she had nothing at all. She felt that the situation was bad and hurriedly opened the freezer. It turned out to be worse than the chiller, there were only a few frozen chicken wings left. She thought in her heart, with so little food in the refrigerator, she did not know what to do. She closed her refrigerator door and walked towards Song Anchen, embarrassed, ¡°Well, let¡¯s go out and eat, there¡¯s nothing much at home to eat.¡± Song Anchen asked, ¡°You don¡¯t keep some food stocked up at home?¡± It was not that she did not keep food stocked up at home. It was just that she did not think that it was necessary. She would eat her meals in the hospital when she was on duty, and if she was hungry at night, she could just make instant noodles. Of course, she could not let him eat the instant noodles in her stock. Song Anchen saw that she did not answer and frowned, walking towards the kitchen. Yisheng made way for him and let him walk into the kitchen. Anyway, there was nothing in the kitchen, so even if he looked at it, there was nothing for him to look at. But she forgot that he was Song Anchen, the prince that had been recognized as a unique presence in their high school. He took a look at what was left in the fridge and quickly took out a bottle of coke, shallots, and the frozen chicken wings. He first went to boil a pot of water and cooked the rice. After that, he wore an apron and found some ginger in the kitchen, skillfully chopping it into slices. Then, he cut the scallion and washed the chicken wings, using a knife to cut two holes in the chicken wings. After he was done preparing everything, he started to light the stove, pour in the oil, adding white sugar, then sliding the chicken wings along the edge of the pan into the boiling oil. After he fried it a little till the chicken skins were slightly yellow, he poured in some coke, soy sauce, scallion, ginger slices and brought it to a boil, lowering the heat and allowing it to simmer till the sauce was almost gone. That was his completed dish. Yisheng looked at him busying himself, a little dazed. There was a homely warmth surrounding Song Anchen who was wearing an apron. That handsome side profile¡¯s serious and attentive face caused him to have a touch of closeness. Yisheng did not know why, but when she looked at him, her nose scrunched up. This sort of man¡­ Song Anchen then took out a tomato and a few eggs from the fridge, making a large bowl of tomato and egg soup. When he finished making all the dishes that he could make, Song Anchen brought out the dishes and told Yisheng, ¡°You can go and scoop out the rice.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng hurriedly went to scoop out two bowls of rice and carried it to the table, handing him a bowl. The two of them then begun to eat in silence. Yisheng would occasionally look up to sneak a glance at Song Anchen, who was eating with a calm expression. After she took a glance, she would immediately shrink into herself and continue eating her food. Yisheng swore that she was actually someone who liked eating vegetarian food, but this meal, she ate three-quarters of the chicken wings. In total, there were just four chicken wings. When she saw the chicken bones that she had spit out into her plate, she felt very ashamed. Song Anchen wiped his mouth, seeing her embarrassed expression, he knew what she was thinking and said mildly, ¡°Thank you for showing such support for me.¡± Yisheng¡¯s mouth trembled. She wanted to cry without tears. She was too greedy. Song Anchen stood up and started to collect the chopsticks and bowls. Yisheng suddenly had a thought and hurriedly stopped him, ¡°Let me do it, let me do it. You can watch some TV on the sofa.¡± It seemed that Song Anchen had not expected Yisheng to say that. He was stunned for a moment, before he said with a brilliant smile, ¡°Alright.¡± What was there to be so happy about? Yisheng did not really understand. However, when she saw the clock on the wall, she freaked out. It was already half past six in the morning. She had forgotten that her night shift was until five in the morning. When she saw Song Anchen sitting on the sofa and switching on the television to watch it, Yisheng narrowed her eyes, wasn¡¯t he sleepy? Just when she had that thought, she yawned. She shook her head to stop herself from feeling sleepy, she needed to wake up. But she kept feeling sleepy while she was washing the dishes and, in the end, she could not even open her eyes. She slapped herself on her face and woke up slightly. She yawned heavily and poured Song Anchen a cup of water. When she sent it to the living room, she was a little stunned. He had fallen asleep and his head was slightly turned to the side, his chin slightly lowered, as if he was exhausted. Yisheng put down the cup lightly, and sat next to him, looking at him. She could not help but raise her hand to touch this man. His long and dark eyelashes quivered slightly, the nose that she had once said was the most perfect nose was slightly breathing, and that sexy and soft lips. Before her hand touched those lips, a hand grabbed her restless hand. When their eyes met¡­ Yisheng turned red with shame. She wanted to pull her hand out of his grasp, but he did not let go. She anxiously explained, ¡°I saw a mosquito on your face just now and wanted to hit it to kill it?¡± ¡°You¡¯re hitting it very gently,¡± Song Anchen narrowed his thing and long eyes, his smile seemed to have knives hidden in it. She laughed and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve always been very gentle.¡± She laughed awkwardly for a long while, but she was the only one laughing. She found it meaningless and stopped laughing. When their eyes met again, Yisheng only felt that she wanted to faint. She was feeling too awkward, it was all because of her restless hands, why did she want to take advantage of him while he was sleeping? Now, she was caught by him and she was completely disgraced and embarrassed. He approached her little by little. She retreated bit by bit, and the situation instantly changed to the woman being below and the man pressing down on her¡­ He supported his body with his two hands. Below him was Yisheng, whose face had turned pale with fear. For a long time, the two of them were stuck in that position quietly. Yisheng could even feel the warmth from his breath. His pair of deep and mysterious eyes seemed to have a mischievous glint in them, smiling as he looked at her, his body lowering bit by bit. She saw him getting closer and closer but had nowhere to retreat to. She forcefully closed her eyes, looking like she was facing her doom. But after she waited for a long time, what she expected to happen did not happen. She opened her eyes slightly but saw that Song Anchen was looking at the Rolex on his left hand in a good mood. Yisheng did not understand what he was looking at. She then saw him smile and say in a doting manner, ¡°It¡¯s almost seven.¡± Yisheng did not understand. He straightened up again, removing the pressure he was placing on her. He arranged his clothes back to how they were before and stood up, ¡°I¡¯ll return home now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng nodded her head, a little distracted, ¡°Bye-bye.¡± Song Anchen simply smiled and walked towards the door. Yisheng followed behind him slowly. When he completely vanished from before her eyes, she had yet to return to her senses. She recalled her embarrassment from before and pulled at her hair, irritated. Song Anchen must be despising her from the bottom of his heart. She pinched her forehead. After what happened just now, she was not sleepy at all. However, in the afternoon, she needed to accompany Zhao Jixiang on a blind date. She had to rest. In the end, she chose to take a cold shower, then go to bed. Back in the parking lot, Song Anchen did not drive off for a long while. He kept sitting in the car in a daze, deep emotions in his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something and was very focused. He rested his forehead in his hand, a melancholic expression on his face. He took out his phone and opened his multimedia document. There were only two photos there, and these two photos were both photos of him and her. The first photo was of her with her refreshing short hair, she was wearing a sky blue Teenie Weenie hooded dress, hugging him from behind with both hands, her smile was like that of a flower, but he was not smiling. She had once complained that he did not want to take photos with her. That was not true, it was their first time acting so intimately and he was just feeling shy. When his finger hovered over the second photo, he did not click on it for a long time. He just looked at the blurry photo in the catalog, seeming to be deep in thoughts. He could barely see that it was a photo with both him and her, and he looked at this blurry photo for a long time without opening it, his eyes slightly dazed. Finally, he turned off his phone and started his car, the sound of his car starting up was like his restless heart and he drove off, leaving Hua Yuan Estate. *** Yisheng was woken up by her ringtone. She fumbled for her mobile phone, in a daze. When she saw that it was Zhao Jixiang¡¯s call, she instantly woke up, quickly jumping up and answering the phone call. ¡°Miss Yisheng, can I ask, where are you?¡± ¡°At home,¡± She knew it was over for her. ¡°Do you know what time we agreed to meet, and what time it is now?¡± She pulled her phone away from her ear and took a look. They had agreed to meet at three, and it happened to be three currently. Yisheng coughed lightly, ¡°I¡¯ll fly to you at the speed of light.¡± ¡°Come on!¡± Zhao Jixiang instantly spoke English. That voice¡­ Yisheng directly pulled her phone away from her ear, letting Zhao Jixiang yell first. The exact time that she got to the caf¨¦ was 3:46 pm, this was already the fastest Yisheng could get there. This caf¨¦ was not far from Yisheng¡¯s house, it was just opposite to the restaurant that Yan Heng had brought her to eat at last time, but she needed to at least clean herself up and ensure that her appearance was good, so she was a little delayed. Zhao Yisheng was about to explode. When she saw Yisheng coming over in a hurry, she pointed to the caf¨¦, ¡°That other party has been waiting for a long time, my image has been destroyed by you.¡± Yisheng flattened her lips, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you go in first.¡± Zhao Jixiang ignored her and directly pulled her inside. When they reached a seat near the floor-length window and Yisheng saw Zhao Jixiang¡¯s blind date, she almost spat out in shock. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle, a round belly, and a fat mouth. He was smiling as he greeted them, such an interesting person was really¡­ The two of them were a little stunned. Zhao Jixiang reacted first and swallowed her saliva silently, pushing Yisheng to sit down. The two of them had just sat down when Mr. Personality smiled and said, ¡°Which of you is Miss Zhao Jixiang?¡± ¡°Her!¡± Zhao Jixiang pointed her finger at Yisheng quickly and Yisheng was stunned for a moment, glaring at Zhao Jixiang angrily. She saw Zhao Jixiang¡¯s pitiful expression. It was as if she were saying, if Yisheng refused to cooperate, Zhao Jixiang would die on the spot. Yisheng¡¯s nostrils flared, her expression was telling Zhao Jixiang to ¡®hurry and die¡¯. ¡°May I call you Miss Jixiang?¡± The interesting gentleman smiled at Yisheng happily. His yellow teeth caused Yisheng to have goosebumps all over and she thought to herself that this Mr. Personality did not like to brush his teeth. ¡°Yes you can, you can even call me Xiang Xiang or Little Sister Jixiang,¡± Yisheng said sweetly. Since Zhao Jixiang wanted Yisheng to deal with him, she would completely ruin Zhao Jixiang¡¯s reputation, making her completely embarrassed. When Zhao Jixiang heard Yisheng say that, she almost vomited blood. Zhao Jixiang grunted, patting her chest. ¡°Ah, Little Sister Xiang Xiang is really too cute. You can also call me Brother Xiao Li.¡± (T/N: Uh Brother¡­ Interpret it as the Chinese version of ¡®oppa¡¯¡­) The two of them grunted. They had gotten serious internal injuries from hearing what he said. Brother Xiao Li seemed to have a good impression of Yisheng and completely ignored the fact that she was late, ¡°To tell you the truth, I¡¯m a nouveau riche. In recent years, I¡¯ve made tens of millions raising some crocodile turtles. My Mom felt that since I was already thirty, it was time for me to find a wife and get her to have my kids.¡± Look at what he was saying. What did he treat women as? As a tool for giving birth to children? Yisheng whispered to Zhao Jixiang, ¡°Why did your Mom introduce someone like this to you!¡± Zhao Jixiang then whispered back, ¡°My Mom likes to eat crocodile turtle meat. That¡¯s how she got to know him.¡± Yisheng was speechless. What sort of logic was this? She whispered back to Zhao Jixiang again, ¡°Can I quickly end this mess?¡± ¡°Anything you want. Feel free to completely ruin everything.¡± Brother Xiao Li looked at the two of them with a foolish smile. He thought that they had recognized him, or could it be that both of them liked him? He was even happier. Yisheng straightened up and told Brother Xiao Li, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother Xiao Li, I have a boyfriend already.¡± ¡°What?¡± Brother Xiao Li opened his mouth, shocked. When Yisheng saw how shocked he was, she felt very injured. Although she could not be considered to be extremely beautiful, she was still quite good-looking, why was he so sure that no one would want her? ¡°If¡­ If you don¡¯t believe me, I can give him a call,¡± Yisheng was very annoyed at his contempt. Brother Xiao Li turned up his nose, ¡°I would like to see how Little Sister Xiang Xiang¡¯s boyfriend looks.¡± Yisheng¡¯s self-esteem was completely trampled. She wanted to ask her senior for help, but when she called him, no one picked up. When Brother Xiao Li saw that she had called a few times but no one was picking up, he said sarcastically, ¡°Actually, if Little Sister Xiang Xiang looks down on me, you can tell me directly. There¡¯s no need to use so many tricks. I know that you nurses have begun to become pickier. In the past, you were just nannies that worked in the hospital. Now that the educational levels of nannies have increased, you naturally have higher expectations.¡± Zhao Jixiang could not stand the bitterness of this horrible man. She almost stood up and cursed at him but Yisheng stopped her, giving her a look. They were civilized people and would not bring themselves down to the level of this sort of man. Her expression did not change as she told Brother Xiao Li, ¡°I¡¯ll try to call him again.¡± This time, she chose Song Anchen¡¯s phone number. The call rang for only a few moments before he picked up, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hubby, come here, I¡¯m waiting for you at the Nan Ding Si Cafe on Tian Hu Street,¡± Yisheng cutely said to Song Anchen. To complete the act, she even acted shy in front of Brother Xiao Li. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, ¡°Ye Yisheng, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Hubby, I miss you.¡± ¡°Do you?¡± There was a chilly question from the other end of the call. Yisheng could not help trembling, but she kept acting cute. Saying in an extremely sweet manner, ¡°Stop acting, you know that you¡¯re my darling. A day without you is like three autumns, I feel that not seeing you for a day is like living a thousand years. Sweetheart, I haven¡¯t seen you for thousands of years already, I miss you! Be good, come here, muacks~¡± After she finished saying that, she instantly hung up the call. She could not imagine how irritated Song Anchen would be when he heard her words. She suddenly had a bad premonition. With Song Anchen¡¯s personality, he would either not come and treat her like she was crazy, or he would come and act even crazier than how she was acting. This time, she had made the wrong decision out of desperation, like a sickly person going to all kinds of doctors, or a person who would eat medicine blindly because they were scared of death. CH 10 Yisheng and Song Anchen¡¯s story was concentrated in the second semester of Year Three of high school, the semester in which everyone was busy with their studies. In February, the temperature was gradually becoming warmer in the South and school was opening one after another. Ever since Year Two of high school, Lin Ruohan had entered Song Anchen¡¯s home. She had become Song Anchen¡¯s little tail, following him everywhere. Yisheng did not walk with him again. When she had begun to distance herself from him, Song Anchen had followed her and kept asking her about it, but after Yisheng kept refusing to interact with him, Song Anchen did not insist on talking to her anymore. In the second semester of the Year Three of high school, they had entered the tense revision stage, and everyone¡¯s results were mostly fixed. Yisheng had improved a lot. There were forty students in the class, and she had entered the top twenty. Song Anchen still kept his first-place ranking in school and was very far ahead of the second place. Perhaps Lin Ruohan had potential because her results rose from her previous ranking of last in class to top fifteen. There were a lot of rumors saying that the reason for her improvement was because Song Anchen was good at teaching and was also due to the power of love. The two of them had been inseparable all year round, and even Yisheng, who was living opposite them could feel the rare tacit understanding that existed between them. Yisheng¡¯s father, Ye Tianming had once asked Yisheng, ¡°This year, you didn¡¯t look for your Little Brother Song at all. Is it that you do not want to be a third wheel?¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes at her father. Yisheng¡¯s father did not take the hint and even teased, ¡°This Lao Song is really good. He married a wife and managed to get a daughter-in-law as well.¡± (T/N: Just a refresher since it¡¯s been a while (I think), Lao means old, it¡¯s a way of addressing Song Anchen¡¯s father) Yisheng could not stand listening to it anymore, she directly slammed the door and entered her room, falling onto her bed and covering herself with her blanket. She felt a sourness in her heart, wanting to cry but not having any tears. The feeling of having a secret one-sided crush on someone was very horrible, especially since the person she had a crush on was already dating someone else. On February 14, Valentine¡¯s Day, they had class as usual, and their self-study period in the evening did not end even half a minute earlier, ending class at nine-thirty as usual. Yisheng packed her bag and waited for her ¡®bodyguard¡¯ He Jin as usual. Ever since Yisheng got left alone, her kind-hearted seatmate was scared that Yisheng would be upset at the development and started to send Yisheng home every day. After a while, the two of them begun to get used to sticking to each other. When they got to the bicycle parking lots, He Jin looked around stealthily, as if he was afraid of being seen. As soon as Yisheng pushed her bicycle out, He Jin handed Yisheng a box of finely wrapped Ferrero Rocher. Yisheng looked at the box of chocolate in front of her, stunned. She raised her head to look at He Jin¡¯s slightly awkward and embarrassed face. She laughed awkwardly, ¡°Is this for me?¡± ¡°Nope,¡± He Jin stretched out his other hand and shook the piece of individually packaged chocolate on his hand, ¡°This is your reward. I want you to help me pass this box of chocolates to Lin Ruohan.¡± He Jin was even more embarrassed, scratching his flat head uneasily. When Yisheng heard his answer, she wanted to punch him. She pushed the reward that he was giving her away and looked at him with disdain, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Lin Ruohan has a boyfriend already?¡± ¡°I asked Song Anchen. I said that I wanted to pursue Lin Ruohan and he supported me.¡± ¡°You idiot, he¡¯s trying to display his strength in front of you,¡± Yisheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. ¡°Who cares, it¡¯s my business who I pursue. Just tell me, are you helping me or not?¡± He Jin¡¯s eyes were very stubborn, causing Yisheng to feel very stunned. She reluctantly accepted that box of chocolate and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s purely because you were my ¡®bodyguard¡¯ for a year.¡± He Jin was very happy. He put one hand in front of his chest and bowed at a ninety-degree angle, ¡°It¡¯s a great honor to be able to serve the queen.¡± Yisheng covered her mouth and smiled, ¡°Hurry get on your bike. Let¡¯s go home,¡± She straightened her bike, and when she got on her bicycle, she saw Song Anchen and the rest standing a short distance away from them. Song Anchen stared at Yisheng for a long time, his sharp eyes were like a raging flame that made Yisheng¡¯s whole body feel hot and restless. Lin Ruohan smiled slightly, ¡°What a romantic couple.¡± She did not have a tone filled with envy, instead, it was more of a sneer. Yisheng suddenly felt very annoyed at her and turned her head, leaving quickly on her bicycle. He Jin, who was left behind, shouted, ¡°Hey.¡± When she returned home, she was feeling very upset. She did not want to go to the opposite house and pass the chocolates to Lin Ruohan in person. At that moment, her father came home from work. He put down his things and said that he wanted to go to the house opposite theirs to drink with Song Anchen¡¯s father. Yisheng had a sudden realization and ran back to her room to pick up that box of chocolate and chased after her father who was already at the door to the house opposite theirs. Father Ye knocked on the door and Song Zheng opened the door and said, ¡°You¡¯re here!¡± Father Ye chuckled and was about to enter when his hand was pulled on by someone. He was a little confused when he saw his daughter standing behind him, a box of chocolate in her hands and an embarrassed look on her face. ¡°Dad, this¡­¡± Yisheng¡¯s father snapped out of his faze and took the chocolate, saying with a smile, ¡°Oh, a grown girl¡¯s heart cannot be kept, it¡¯s good to take the initiative. Dad will help you,¡± After he said that, he smiled as he walked into the Song Family¡¯s home. Yisheng had not finished speaking at all and she was currently thinking about how she should ask her father to help, but her father had understood what she wanted to ask him? Song Zheng, who was standing by the side smiled, ¡°Yisheng, do you want to come over and play?¡± She stammered and hesitated, secretly taking a look inside, only to see her father pass that box of chocolate to Song Anchen? And Song Anchen was a little shocked and glanced towards the door, just happening to meet Yisheng¡¯s gaze. Yisheng immediately hid and hurriedly told Song Zheng, who was standing by the side, ¡°Nope, I¡¯ll go back home and do my homework.¡± She was speechless and decided running away was the best solution. She continuously scolded herself, but even if she scolded herself, the problem was not solved. Thus, she could only take out her piggy bank and shook it! There was the sound of the coins in the jar knocking against each other. She had given the present to Song Anchen in her name, so naturally, she had to take her own money and pay for it. She instantly felt that she was very pitiful. The next day, she still went out very early but happened to meet the person coming out from the house opposite hers. However, at this moment, Song Anchen was not the only one leaving the house. Yisheng could hear Lin Ruohan¡¯s anxious voice coming from the house, ¡°Brother, wait for three minutes, don¡¯t leave.¡± Today, Song Anchen looked very fresh, the main reason was that without his usual gloominess, his gaze was a lot clearer than before. The two of them had barely spoken this year, and they did not even greet each other when they occasionally met. This time, naturally, was no exception. Yisheng raised her feet and wanted to go downstairs directly, but unexpectedly, Song Anchen also walked down. She suddenly stopped walking, giving him a fierce look, but he ignored it and continued to walk down the stairs. Yisheng looked at his back, a little stunned. After the mess yesterday, he was acting very normally. Perhaps she was overthinking things. Yisheng hit her head, a little frustrated, she had thought too much about the incident yesterday. When she reached the bicycle parking lots, Yisheng saw that Song Anchen was peeling the golden wrapping paper off a piece of Ferrero Rocher. He looked very casual, and elegantly placed a piece of chocolate into his mouth. There were already a few pieces of golden papers on the floor. He did not feel bad eating other people¡¯s food at all! Yisheng scolded him in her heart, striding over. Her bicycle happened to be blocked by Song Anchen and she could not get out. Yisheng shook her bicycle, making a sound to hint to him to make way. Song Anchen passed her a golden ball of chocolate, ¡°Do you want to eat it?¡± Yisheng gave a fake smile, ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat it, thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really willing to spend money. A box of this kind of chocolate cost more than a hundred RMB, I can see how much you care,¡± Song Anchen, who had originally been leaning on one of the pillars straightened his body, gazing at her with a barely visible smile, ¡°I don¡¯t like to owe people favors. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?¡± Yisheng stretched her hand out, ¡°Money!¡± That way, she could return the money to He Jin. Song Anchen frowned, ¡°Besides that.¡± ¡°Return me a box of identical chocolates,¡± Returning the chocolates to He Jin in this manner would be good too. Song Anchen took a deep breath, pinching his forehead helplessly, ¡°I knew it, telling you such things is like preaching to deaf ears.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng puffed up her cheeks and glared at him. ¡°After the exam next week, how about I take you to watch a movie?¡± What¡¯s so good about a movie? Yisheng sniffed, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± ¡°How about going to watch a musical?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have such a hobby.¡± ¡°Going to an art exhibition?¡± ¡°I like dynamic things, not things where I have to stay still!¡± Yisheng lost it. She was not an artistic girl, talking about literature and art to her a kind of torture for her. Song Anchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone a little discouraged, as if he was waiting for Yisheng to reject him again, ¡°How about on the Sunday after the exam, we play basketball!¡± Yisheng liked to move, she loved sports, and the sports she loved the most were volleyball and basketball. Unfortunately, she was not tall enough and could not get on the school team. She took a look at Song Anchen and reluctantly agreed.: ¡°Brother¡­¡± A short distance away, Lin Ruohan called out. When Yisheng saw his actual girlfriend arrive, she pushed Song Anchen away and had him make way for her. After that, she instantly got on her bike and rode off. She was timid and did not want to cause trouble with that woman. Yisheng paid He Jin for the chocolate but did not give an explanation, she just said that she had eaten it. He Jin wanted the exact reason and asked her why she wanted to eat the gift he had bought for others. Yisheng randomly answered, ¡°I like to eat chocolate the most, and looking at the chocolate made my mouth water so I could not help eating it.¡± Her answer seemed quite reasonable to Yisheng, but He Jin did not think so. He stared at Yisheng for a very long time and finally said, ¡°Did you fall in love with me?¡± ¡°¡­¡± She was confused. ¡°You must not want Lin Ruohan to get together with me because of the chocolates and so you¡­¡± He Jin could not go on. Yisheng had already guessed what he wanted to say and suddenly felt like lightning had struck her. She lay on the table and pretended to be dead! After class, He Jin left his seat. When the bell rang, he came back, looking sad. His dejected appearance caused Yisheng to feel some pity for him and she asked, ¡°Bro, are you lovelorn or did you drop the money I just gave you into the toilet?¡± He Jin looked at Yisheng, his expression bitter, ¡°Yisheng, how can you treat me so well?¡± ¡°¡­¡± What did she do this time? And why did he need to be so depressed about her treating him well? ¡°Why did you need to trick me? The chocolate was not eaten by you but Song Anchen!¡± He Jin¡¯s expression was sad again and he had an expression that said ¡®Bring the tofu to me, I want to hit my head against it¡¯. Yisheng trembled. She did not expect that this incident would be exposed, she muttered, ¡°Actually¡­ actually¡­¡± ¡°Ah!¡± He Jin patted Yisheng on her shoulder, ¡°You gave the chocolate to Lin Ruohan, but Lin Ruohan gave it to Song Anchen, this¡­ this makes me completely embarrassed.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng opened her mouth. ¡°You care for me, and you were worried that I would be sad, so you lied and said that you ate it. Yisheng, I¡¯m so touched, really!¡± He Jin suddenly pretended to cry with tears and a runny nose. He even wanted to place his head on her shoulder and Yisheng quickly shrugged her shoulders, moving his head away. However, he continued to act weak and even said, ¡°You¡¯re so concerned about me, and I got my heart broken today. Alright, let¡¯s get together!¡± The corner of Yisheng¡¯s lips twitched, ¡°You¡¯re overthinking things!¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, we should try going on a date first. But we¡¯ve been quite busy with our studies lately, let¡¯s choose a date first. How about the first Sunday after the monthly exams?¡± ¡°I have something on that day.¡± ¡°With whom?¡± His expression was suddenly overcast. Yisheng directly rolled her eyes at him, ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡± He Jin rested his head on his hand and looked at her up and down for a long time. Yisheng felt goosebumps from him looking at her so intently. She glanced at him, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°I was thinking, besides for me, who else would want you? Besides for your chest having a little bump, everywhere else is a horizontal line.¡± Yisheng stretched out her five fingers and exaggeratedly curled them into a fist, glaring at him angrily, as if telling him that if he said one more word, she would not spare him. He Jin chuckled and leaned closer to her, ¡°Look at how we have such a fated we are, your ex-boyfriend got together with my ex-girlfriend, how about we make do and get together as well.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you,¡± Yisheng turned her head and sat properly, waiting for class to begin. ¡°I know that you¡¯re acting like this because you¡¯re shy, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll wait for you to open up.¡± Yisheng ignored him and continued to lower her head and wait for class to start. *** After the first monthly examination, Yisheng¡¯s grades improved again. It was her first time entering the top fifteen in class. She tied with Lin Ruohan for fourteenth place. For this monthly exam, the teacher specially called out for the top fifteen students to talk to them separately. This was the treatment of top students, and Yisheng managed to enjoy this treatment due to her sudden breakthrough. In their form teacher¡¯s office, the students surrounded a table and listened to their teacher talk. ¡°As we are a top school, the top ten in the class can normally get into a very good school, and the tenth place to the fifteenth place can work hard and might be able to get into a very good school as well. I asked all of you to come here today so that I can find out what your goals are?¡± She started with Song Anchen, who was in the first place. He thought for a moment and said the best school in B City in terms of their economics and trade major. He Jin was fifth place in class, and he wanted to go overseas to study for an MBA. When it was Lin Ruohan and Yisheng¡¯s turns, Lin Ruohan rushed to answer, her answer was the same as Song Anchen, she wanted to study economics and trade. Yisheng¡¯s goal was A Medical University, she had been unwavering in her goal this whole time. When one had a goal, they would naturally have the motivation to strive to achieve their goal. On Sunday, Song Anchen gave her a phone call, asking her to play indoor basketball at the gymnasium. It was sunny that day, and the scorching sun of early March was shining on their recently warmed-up city. She had thought that today would definitely be a happy day. There was the sun, there was exercise, there was warmth, and there was Song Anchen, that she had longed for. But God blinked amongst the clouds and gave a slight frown. This was the beginning of the moment that Ye Yisheng¡¯s life changed. Heaven and Hell connected at that moment¡­ CH 11 Yisheng kept rummaging in her closet. She tried a lot of clothes but felt very dissatisfied. She grabbed her fluffy hair and felt that no matter what she wore, she did not look good. She sat down on the bed with anger, her expression upset. She did not have any nice clothes. Yisheng had to cheer herself up and tell herself in her heart that she was just going to play basketball. What was the use of wearing nice clothes? If she wore very pretty clothes, how could she show her valiant charm? She opened her wardrobe again and found comfortable sportswear to wear. In her process of searching, she happened to see an aqua-colored outfit hanging in the corner of her wardrobe. She was stunned, this was the present that Father Song had brought Song Anchen to pick out for her birthday in her first year of high school. When she received this present, she was very shocked. She was not only shocked that Song Anchen knew that she had always wanted clothes from Teenie Weenie, but she was also shocked that the clothes he had chosen for her were so suitable for her. The aqua color, the hood, these were all her favorite colors and designs. That birthday was her most unforgettable moment. That year, her mother was still healthy, Song Anchen¡¯s mother had yet to divorce his father, and when the two families were gathered together, they were very happy. Now that two years have passed, many things have changed. Yisheng¡¯s mother was hospitalized and her father ran between the hospital and his workplace, she had slowly started to drift apart from her childhood friend. There were many things on Yisheng¡¯s mind, and she felt a little bitter. Yisheng tossed her memories to the back of her mind and took a deep breath. One should always look forward. Yisheng cheered herself on and casually pulled out a sweatshirt and put it on. She looked at the mirror and styled her short hair that looked very handsome on her. She made a victory pose and smiled widely! Then, she leaped out of the door and headed towards the gym. Yisheng had thought that she had arrived quite early. When she came to the indoor basketball court, she saw Song Anchen instantly. He stood out from the crowd, dressed in a white NIKE sports shirt, his sleeves were rolled up his arm and showed his long arms that were very thin, but did not lack muscle. His tall figure stood under the basketball stand, his head slightly raised, looking at the basketball frame, throwing balls into it with an elegant posture. Song Anchen had always been well-known in school as an all-rounder school prince. Yisheng had thought that all-rounder simply meant that he knew everything and that it did not mean that he knew everything very well. Now she understood that all-rounder meant that not only did he know everything, he was also good at everything. There was a pang of bitterness in Yisheng¡¯s heart. If this childhood friend of hers that was so talented could become hers, that would be good. She wanted to hide him somewhere so that he would only belong to her. She wanted to be able to take just one careful look at him every day and feel satisfied and happy. However, she knew that this wish was very impossible. She sighed and ran straight to him, shouting, ¡°Song Anchen.¡± Song Anchen turned his head at her voice, and he dribbled a ball with one hand as he walked towards her, looking at her up and down. He chuckled, ¡°Did you put gel in your hair?¡± Yisheng puffed up her cheeks, ¡°I didn¡¯t. I just washed my hair and it¡¯s still a little wet.¡± Song Anchen nodded in realization, smiling as he fiddled with the ball in his hand, ¡°I¡¯ll attack, you defend.¡± Yisheng looked towards Song Anchen, who was very tall. She was shorter than him by one and a half head, asking someone as short as her to defend against someone so tall? The corner of her lips twitched, when she got ready to withdraw this game rule, Song Anchen had unexpectedly started to attack with a sly smile on his face! She clenched her teeth, she could deal with it! She refused to let him look down on her. She took huge strides onto the basketball court and started to do her short-person defense. Song Anchen had a fast pace and he was very ruthless with his feints. His aim was accurate and he would often do three-step layups easily. Yisheng was not discouraged, feeling that even though she was slower, she had to try her best to defend, despite knowing that she was at a great disadvantage. Finally, Yisheng was able to catch up to Song Anchen¡¯s pace. When Song Anchen wanted to make a jump to do another three-step layup, she stretched her arms and jumped, but unexpectedly, she used too much strength. Furthermore, her calves were tired and she had a cramp in her calf. She staggered towards Song Anchen, and Song Anchen¡¯s hand managed to toss the ball through the hoop. He was extremely shocked by Yisheng¡¯s sudden fall into his arms, and a series of ¡®falling into his arms¡¯ actions were carried out. After that, the two of them fell onto the ground. Yisheng lay on Song Anchen¡¯s body, she could even smell the faint fragrance of the washing powder that was left on his clothes and even felt the unique warmth of a boy. She was stunned for a moment and did not know how to move. Song Anchen instantly sat up and steadied her, asking her with concern, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I have a cramp in my right calf.¡± Song Anchen did not hesitate and instantly started to press on her calf, helping her massage it. His gaze was focused and it was not as indifferent as before, causing Yisheng to feel a little stunned. Song Anchen carefully massaged her, continuously reprimanding her, ¡°Why are you pushing yourself so hard? We¡¯re just playing casually.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one that¡¯s pushing too hard,¡± Yisheng retorted. He could not help laughing, ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m pushing myself? It¡¯s just that there¡¯s a huge difference in skill level.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Yisheng gave a cold harrumph, ignoring him. Song Anchen helped her up and brought her to the side to take a break. After he helped her massage her left for a while more, he had her walk around a bit. Seeing that she could walk now, he let go of her hand. Yisheng suddenly felt a little empty without him holding her. The two of them sat together, but neither of them spoke. Song Anchen suddenly complained, ¡°You haven¡¯t paid any attention to me in the past year.¡± ¡°You have a beauty by your side, do you need me to accompany you?¡± Song Anchen did not get angry because of what she said and instead laughed, ¡°She¡¯s my younger sister.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like she¡¯s your biological sister,¡± Yisheng muttered, complaining, ¡°Don¡¯t use that as an excuse.¡± Song Anchen rolled his eyes at her, ¡°That¡¯s not an excuse. My Dad asked me to be polite towards her and her mother. Lin Ruohan follows me every day, and I can¡¯t chase her away. You don¡¯t know, but she¡¯s a typical princess. She cries so easily, and when she cries, my step-mother thinks that I treat her badly and starts to argue with my Dad. My Dad will then say that I¡¯m thoughtless and scold me. What can I do?¡± Yisheng did not know what to say. She lowered her head and rubbed her slightly sore calves. She should not be blaming Song Anchen, because she did not know how it felt like when someone gains a step-mother who had her own child. As the saying goes, some things seemed easy at first glance but were not. Some things were not as easy to do as she thought they were. ¡°Recently, I¡¯ve thought for a long while. I want to apply to A Medical University,¡± Song Anchen said truthfully. ¡°Eh? You want to be a doctor?¡± Song Anchen gazed at the basketball court, ¡°Because I like Yisheng, and I¡¯m reluctant to give up.¡± He probably liked the job scope of a doctor. Yisheng glanced at him, ¡°You¡¯re a top student, why do you want to be a doctor!¡± (T/N: Ooo here¡¯s a long explanation for the following misunderstanding. They are talking about medical school, and Yisheng¡¯s name sounds like ¡®doctor¡¯ in Chinese. For reference, Ò½Éú means ¡®doctor¡¯ and Ò»Éúis her name. So Yisheng naturally assumed that he was saying that he liked the job scope of being a doctor and hence wanted to go to A Medical University) Song Anchen¡¯s expression was one of hopelessness as he placed his hand on his forehead. He knew that the words he had just said had been misunderstood by her. He took a deep breath and looked at Yisheng seriously. He had yet to open his mouth when Yisheng¡¯s phone suddenly rang. It was like a thunderbolt, completely striking the courage that Song Anchen had summoned up with much difficulty to pieces. Yisheng looked at her phone, it was an unknown number. She hesitated and accepted the call only to hear He Jin¡¯s angry voice, ¡°You annoying woman, did you go on a date with Song Anchen?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng was shocked, how did he know that? ¡°What are you ¡®ah¡¯ing for, did you or did you not?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Ah! How did you know?¡± ¡°His little sister came to my house to look for me, saying that you stole away her beloved brother and asked me to urge you to return him quickly.¡± Yisheng was speechless. This Lin Ruohan¡¯s possessiveness was too much. She took a look at Song Anchen and said, ¡°You¡¯re not taking advantage of this opportunity to get together with her? This isn¡¯t like you.¡± ¡°Ye Yisheng!¡± There was a yell on the other end of the line, ¡°You dumb woman, can you grow a brain? Hurry up and ask Song Anchen to bring her home.¡± ¡°What? She¡¯s at your house?¡± ¡°Ah, yes¡­¡± He Jin was mumbling, ¡°She said that when she woke up, there was no one at home. Her parents left a note and said that they went on a business trip, and her brother had disappeared, so she came to look for me to ask if you had abducted Song Anchen. She didn¡¯t know my phone number, and could only remember my address.¡± ¡°Oh? She even knows where you live?¡± Ye Yisheng started to laugh evilly. ¡°You annoying woman, you think too much. Anyway, stop talking rubbish and ask Song Anchen to pick her up quickly. She refuses to leave if he doesn¡¯t come and pick her up.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you want?¡± ¡°Get lost. Come here quickly.¡± There was a loud bang on the other end of the phone call. It was obvious that he had thrown his phone. Yisheng found it strange, why was He Jin so angry? She shrugged and said to Song Anchen, ¡°You should go to He Jin¡¯s house to pick up your beloved sister.¡± Song Anchen frowned. ¡°Uncle Song and your step-mother both went on business trips?¡± Why did they go on a business trip at the same time as her dad? It was not like they were in the same department. ¡°Yes, my step-mother was worried so she followed my father.¡± ¡°Ah? She¡¯s worried?¡± ¡°My step-mother is petty. She divorced her ex-husband because he had an affair on a business trip, so she¡¯s learned from her experience.¡± Yisheng expressed that she understood. Song Anchen got up and grabbed the basketball, pulling her with him as he prepared to leave. Yisheng asked, ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°To bring my sister home.¡± ¡°Why are you bringing me as well?¡± ¡°She¡¯s also your younger sister.¡± When did she become the older sister of the younger sister Lin with a glass heart? She didn¡¯t want a younger sister like that¡­ It was quite strange, but Yisheng had only gone to He Jin¡¯s house once. It was during the peer tutoring that had been organized in class in Year Two. She had been stuck on a question but the lesson had ended, so she had followed her little teacher, He Jin, home so he could continue explaining the question to her. His family owned a western-style house. It was very large, and at that time, people that owned western-styled houses were considered rich. He Jin¡¯s parents were both in France. They had wanted to take him with them, but he had just been admitted to a good high school at that time, and he did not know French, so he refused to leave. In the end, he could only stay in China alone. However, he had a elderly nanny at home. He Jin said that his nanny was his father¡¯s nanny. Her family was poor, and she was unable to support her children. His father had thought about how she had cared for him when he was young and since He Jin¡¯s grandmother had passed away a long time ago, his father had brought her over to stay with He Jin. He Jin was staying in China alone with no one to take care of him, so it would be good for her to stay with him as well. Yisheng, who had only gone to He Jin¡¯s house once did not really know the way there. However, Song Anchen, who barely even interacted with He Jin somehow knew the way to He Jin¡¯s house very well, which caused Yisheng to find it very strange. Song Anchen ignored her questioning gaze and pressed on the doorbell. The one who opened the door was an old woman. Yisheng recognized this nanny. The nanny no longer remembered Yisheng. She looked at them and asked, ¡°Are you looking for Xiao Jin?¡± (T/N: Xiao Jin is just Xiao (which means small) + He Jin¡¯s ¡®Jin¡¯) There was the sound of someone wearing slippers and walking over. He Jin appeared from behind and hugged his nanny as he said, ¡°Granny, don¡¯t you remember Yisheng?¡± The nanny suddenly realized, ¡°Yisheng ah,¡± Her gaze turned towards Yisheng¡¯s hair and she covered her mouth to laugh, ¡°Such a unique girl, I won¡¯t forget her.¡± Yisheng blinked, not understanding what she meant by unique. Another person walked out of the door. It was Lin Ruohan, whose eyes were slightly red and swollen. She looked at Song Anchen with tears in her eyes, her shining gaze was as gentle as a pool of water, ¡°Brother.¡± Song Anchen said helplessly, ¡°Why did you run to someone else¡¯s house?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my birthday today, but no one remembers.¡± Song Anchen was stunned, his expression one of helplessness, ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me, how would I know?¡± ¡°If I told you, would you give up on your date with Older Sister Ye?¡± Song Anchen did not say anything. Lin Ruohan already knew what his response would be. She lowered her gaze, looking like a weak willow. He Jin laughed awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ll order a birthday cake, you can celebrate your birthday at my house.¡± Lin Ruohan ignored him and directly put on her shoes. She walked to Song Anchen¡¯s side, looking lovely, ¡°Brother, can you come home and celebrate my birthday with me today?¡± Song Anchen pursed his lips and nodded, his gaze turning to He Jin, ¡°How about you come along with us? It¡¯s more fun if there are more people.¡± He Jin hesitated a little and looked at Yisheng. He saw Yisheng blink at him, telling him to just do whatever he wants to do. He then looked towards Lin Ruohan, seeing that she looked quite unfriendly, he waved his hand, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I won¡¯t go.¡± Song Anchen did not force him to go and grabbed Yisheng¡¯s hand, preparing to leave. His action caused He Jin and Lin Ruohan to widen their eyes, and both of them looked at the scene in shock. He Jin suddenly yelled, ¡°I want to go as well,¡± After he said that, he instantly wore his shoes and followed them. Yisheng wanted to pull her hand away, but Song Anchen was holding her hand tightly. She felt a strange feeling the whole way back. The four of them were relatively silent until they reached a cake shop and Lin Ruohan suddenly refused to continue walking. The three of them turned their heads back to look at her and she said stubbornly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go home to celebrate my birthday, I want to go to a bar to celebrate!!¡± She used a lot of force to speak, her voice had the arrogance of a princess. He Jin scratched his head, ¡°How do you celebrate your birthday in a bar?¡± ¡°We can dance, drink alcohol and go crazy!¡± Lin Ruohan gritted her teeth and stared at the interlocked hands of Yisheng and Song Anchen. He Jin had been to a bar before and said that he was alright with the idea. He looked at Song Anchen, who had always followed the rules, ¡°What do you think?¡± Song Anchen simply smiled and shook their intertwined hands, asking Yisheng with a doting look, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Yisheng had been to a bar before, but she was normally accompanied by adults. She was a little worried about a few Year Three high school students going to a bar alone. Her eyes turned to look at Lin Ruohan, who was looking at her with a hostile and disdainful gaze. She was acting like Ye Yisheng was an obstacle in her life. Yisheng instantly felt unhappy and her face was cold, ¡°It¡¯ll be a good experience.¡± Even until now, Yisheng was still regretting her choice to agree to go to a bar. That sort of place was not suitable for their age group, it was messy, and even if they were going as a group, some accidents could still happen. CH 12 Translated by: Cherry Trigger Warnings: There are mentions of date r*pe drugs in Chapter 12¡­ Warnings: From this chapter onwards, there¡¯ll be more mature scenes, I¡¯ll mark out each mini-chapter to the best of my ability if there are any mature scenes, and I¡¯ll try my best to give warnings about everything that needs a warning. If there is anything that I missed, please tell me! The four of them decided to look for a bar to enter. Lin Ruohan saw a bar that had a signboard with red font¡ªThe Sentimental Bar. For some reason, she got an evil idea when she saw those three words. She pointed at that signboard, ¡°Let¡¯s go to this bar.¡± When they walked to the door of the bar, Song Anchen hesitated, ¡°This bar looks a little messy.¡± ¡°Nah, it¡¯s just that the bar itself is a little old,¡± He Jin saw that several lights in the LED display at the door were spoilt and they did not even change the light bulbs. The red paint on the wall had faded a lot as well. ¡°It¡¯s not just the decorations. There is no one watching the door, all there is just a hastily written ¡®Minors are prohibited to enter¡¯. It¡¯s just a random shop sign,¡± Song Anchen pointed at the sign pasted on the slightly slanted door. Lin Ruohan said, ¡°Who cares? As long as you two men are here, nothing will happen.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± He Jin smiled and scratched his head, glancing at Yisheng, ¡°Let¡¯s just go to this bar. Anyway, all we¡¯re doing is drinking some alcohol and accompanying the delicate girl to go crazy for the night.¡± ¡°Who are you calling delicate?¡± Lin Ruohan glared at him fiercely and He Jin shrugged his shoulders, telling her to pretend that he did not say anything. Song Anchen thought for a while and felt that besides the fact that this bar did not seem very proper, there should not be any problems. With the two boys here, they would be able to protect themselves and nothing would happen. He looked at Yisheng and saw that Yisheng was also looking at him as if asking him to decide. ¡°Let¡¯s go to this one,¡± Song Anchen made up his mind. Yisheng did not say anything and simply nodded. She did not really want to come to such a place. Although she was not a very good child, in her understanding at that time, students should not come to such a place alone. As soon as the four of them entered the bar, they heard deafening disco music. Lin Ruohan and He Jin who were walking in front were obviously very excited, skipping as they rushed forward. Song Anchen walked with Yisheng, and they slowly headed into the bar. When they walked to the main hall where everyone was gathered, Song Anchen directly placed his arm around Yisheng and brought her to his side so as not to be separated from her due to the crowd. Yisheng was scared by Song Anchen¡¯s sudden intimate actions. Her face flushed instantly. She wanted to raise her head to look at him but did not dare to. Hence, she could only lower her head and let him hold her in his arms. Song Anchen brought Yisheng to the seats that the other two were already sitting at. He Jin was excited as he said, ¡°This place is not bad, there are all kinds of alcohols. The only problem is that there is no cake. We can go to the cake shop opposite to buy a cake.¡± The gloominess that Lin Ruohan had just now was gone and she was especially happy. She hummed to the DJ¡¯s rhythm and said in a loud voice, ¡°Alright, go and buy a cake. We¡¯ll wait for you.¡± He Jin nodded and pulled Song Anchen out. Song Anchen instructed the two people sitting in the seats, ¡°Before we come back, the two of you aren¡¯t allowed to go anywhere, just stay in your seats.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± The two of them nodded at the same time before Song Anchen felt at ease and followed He Jin out. When only Yisheng and Lin Ruohan were left sitting there, Yisheng was obviously more restrained and Lin Ruohan seemed to be happier. When the DJ¡¯s song changed, Lin Ruohan got even more excited and directly stood up to ask Yisheng, ¡°Do you want to go dance?¡± Yisheng knew that Lin Ruohan had danced all kinds of dances since she was young. Recently, the modern dance that she had learned recently and performed fascinated everyone in the school at the art festival. With the DJ¡¯s song as accompaniment, Lin Ruohan, who was a dancer naturally could not sit still. However, Song Anchen had given instructions and she was older than Lin Ruohan. If anything happened, she had to take a certain amount of responsibility. She told Lin Ruohan seriously, ¡°How about we wait till they return. Let¡¯s sit here for the time being.¡± Lin Ruohan, who had originally been excited, felt like she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. She was a little unhappy. She instantly sat back in her seat, sullen. Suddenly, she called out to the waiter passing by, ¡°Waiter, come here.¡± The appearance of the waiters here was more fashionable, and they did not have the ordinary hairstyles and ordinary faces of waiters in normal entertainment venues. Instead, they had the most fashionable hairstyles, and their hairs were dyed in bright and gorgeous colors. The waiter who was called walked over, holding a menu in his hand. He said with a smiling face, ¡°Is this the first time you girls are here?¡± Lin Ruohan was not shy at all as she nodded her head and, then she picked up the menu and began to study it. That waiter got close to them and directly sat by Yisheng¡¯s side, smiling as he asked, ¡°This younger sister seems slightly more nervous?¡± Yisheng glared at him, ¡°Don¡¯t sit next to me.¡± Obviously, Yisheng¡¯s direct rejection caused the self-confident handsome waiter to be a little stunned. His charm was considered to be irresistible to the women that come here. Perhaps a girl who had never explored the outside world before was a little feistier. The waiter grinned and stood up, ¡°It must be boring for you two to come here and play alone. It¡¯s more fun if there are more people. He shouted towards the dance floor, ¡°Brothers, come here and play.¡± Lin Ruohan looked over curiously and saw three of four boys coming this way. They were all not very old and were of similar age to them. It was just that they had started working at a younger age and seemed much more mature than them. It caused the two of them to seem even younger and more childish. Yisheng was shocked by the people that arrived and could not speak for a moment. Lin Ruohan saw that the people that had arrived were all good-looking and did not reject them. Instead, she asked enthusiastically, ¡°Do you know how to dance?¡± ¡°Of course,¡± One of the yellow-haired boys laughed. So Lin Ruohan began to talk to him happily, and she was waving her hands around, very engrossed. Yisheng sat there obediently, and when that waiter saw Yisheng sitting properly, he chuckled, ¡°Aren¡¯t you bored sitting there like that, I¡¯ll bring you a signature drink from our store.¡± Translated by: Cherry After he said that, he did not let Yisheng have a chance to reject his offer before he went off. When he came back, he was carrying several bottles of different kinds of foreign alcohol, as well as drink mixing tools. He sat next to Yisheng again and placed down the several large bottles in his hands. He had a teasing look in his eyes as he looked at Yisheng, ¡°I¡¯m the bartender of this Sentimental Bar. Why do you look like you¡¯re full of disdain for me? Today, this big brother is in a good mood. I¡¯ll make you a drink called ¡®Home Run¡¯. ¡°Woah, Ah Yu, do you want to hit a home run?¡± His close friends suddenly made a ruckus, there was an endless amount of ambiguity in their eyes. Yisheng frowned, vaguely remembering that ¡®Home Run¡¯ has another meaning. First base was holding hands, second base was kissing, third base was hugging, and home run was the last step. Yisheng looked at him, unsure of what he was doing. She saw this handsome and trendy man pour in Bourbon whisky, white rum, and brandy, and a series of strong spirits. Then, he added two spoonfuls of lemon juice and played with the cocktail shaker in his hands, throwing, spinning, and doing all kinds of difficult movements. Yisheng and Lin Ruohan were stunned as they watched. His other friends also cheered him on, and when he poured the alcohol out, the double-tone alcohol was even more amazing. Yisheng had never seen such flashy moves or such a beautiful cocktail and she could not help but say, ¡°Amazing.¡± The bartender, Ah Yu smiled confidently, as if he had expected that no woman would be able to resist his charm. That yellow-haired boy winked at him, and when he picked up the two glasses of alcohol, he slipped two tiny pills in and passed the drinks to Yisheng and Lin Ruohan, ¡°Here, take a sip, it¡¯s very delicious.¡± At that moment, they were very curious about this cocktail. Lin Ruohan did not hesitate and gulped down the drink, finishing it. It burnt so much that she kept tearing up. This was the strongest alcohol that she had ever drunk. Yisheng first drank a large mouthful of the alcohol. When that burning sensation entered her throat, she almost spits it out. She would only drink during festivities, and what she drank was normally just wine. Before this, she had once drunk a bit of white wine, but even that did not burn as much as this alcohol, the alcohol percentage is too high. She did not want to drink anymore, but she saw that the few men were all looking at her. She was a little embarrassed and she picked up the cup to drink a few more sips. She was almost done drinking it when Song Anchen walked over with a cake in his hands. When he saw several ruffian-like men on the seat, and his face turned cold. He Jin followed over, and when he saw the men that he did not know, he could not help asking, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Brother, he¡¯s the bartender of this shop. He¡¯s excellent,¡± Lin Ruohan had just finished drinking strong alcohol, and her face was already burning red. However, the admiration in her eyes truly made Song Anchen feel a little uneasy. He did not know why this bartender was here, but he simply had a strong sense of self-preservation. He instantly asked them to leave, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re celebrating my younger sister¡¯s birthday, and outsiders aren¡¯t welcome.¡± The yellow-haired boy was a little unhappy, ¡°Aiya, I thought that these two younger sisters came here alone.¡± The bartender, Ah Yu stood up and told the yellow-haired boy, ¡°Pack up your things and let¡¯s go.¡± After that, he winked at Yisheng, ¡°You¡¯re going to finish the cocktail I gave you, right?¡± Song Anchen looked at the yellow-haired boy cleaning up the cocktail-making tools. These were all very strong foreign alcohol, what would happen if they drank it? Song Anchen told Yisheng gently, ¡°It looks like it tastes very good, I want to try the cocktail too.¡± ¡°You can drink it,¡± Yisheng really did not want to drink it and instantly handed it to him. Song Anchen drank it in a few mouthfuls, leaving behind a burning sensation in his throat. There was a strong alcohol taste left behind. A cocktail normally had a very low alcohol percentage, because the bartender would add in fruit juice to dilute it. However, this cocktail was so strong that Song Anchen, who had always felt that his alcohol tolerance was alright felt himself get a headache immediately. The bartender Ah Yu shrugged and told Yisheng, ¡°With a boyfriend like this, he¡¯s suitable for getting a home run with.¡± His words obviously had a double meaning. Yisheng paused and did not speak. When the crowd left, there were only four people left sitting, and it was obviously much quieter. Song Anchen lighted the candles, and the three of them sang a birthday song for Lin Ruohan before they started to eat cake. He Jin was in a good mood and ordered nearly a box of beers, wanting to drink alcohol with Song Anchen. Lin Ruohan was interested again and she said that she wanted to drink as well. At that moment, Yisheng¡¯s chest was very stuffy and her face was red, her head felt very swollen. It was obvious that the alcohol was getting to her head and she was drunk. She could only sit out of their drinking competition. Yisheng sat at the side and closed her eyes for a moment, feeling that her whole body was getting warmer and warmer. It felt like she needed to go to the toilet but she had no desire to. She squinted her eyes slightly and saw that the box of beer on the table was empty. Lin Ruohan and He Jin were dancing happily on the dance floor excitedly. Song Anchen was slightly turned to the side, his white skin already dyed light pink, causing him to look more vivid and beautiful. He had a hand on his stomach, and he was breathing was a little fast. For some reason, Yisheng suddenly had the urge to get close to him. She wanted to tightly hug him and stick to him. The more she thought that way, the faster her breathing. Her whole head was full of impure things. She stood up suddenly, and her head hurt like crazy so she fell back on the sofa. The noise awakened Song Anchen and he opened his eyes slightly to look at Yisheng, pinching his forehead, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°I feel horrible,¡± She did not know how to describe how she felt, she could only say that she was feeling horrible. Song Anchen slightly narrowed his sleepy eyes and looked at his watch. It was almost nine. He stood up and walked towards the dance floor. He said something to He Jin, then he came back and helped up Yisheng, who was very weak, ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡± ¡°What about them?¡± ¡°I asked He Jin to send my sister home.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng obediently leaned on his shoulder, sniffing the light shower gel fragrance from his body. She had the impulse to hit the home run with him. She was started by her sudden dirty thoughts and was woken up slightly. At that time, she happened to walk past the bar counter and saw the ruffian-like Ah Yu, she could not help putting her hand at Song Anchen¡¯s waist. She had seen so many men, but none of them had been better than Song Anchen. Song Anchen had a clean and refreshing look, he had white skin, delicate features. He had an otherworldly feel, she liked this kind of boy, she really, really liked him. She fell on him. Song Anchen was also drunk, he leaned forward and staggered a few times. He lowered his head and looked at Yisheng, who was a little out of it, and smiled bitterly. She even dared to drink such strong alcohol. On the way back, they took a cab and Yisheng felt hotter and hotter. She felt so hot that she could not stand it. She even had a feeling in her abdomen that she could not describe. She leaned on Song Anchen, she could not help but stretch her hand to touch his cool neck, trying to cool down a bit by touching him. Song Anchen trembled lightly and adjusted Yisheng, ¡°Don¡¯t touch random places,¡± But he was not calm at all. They had reached their estate with much difficulty and Song Anchen held onto her as he struggled to climb up the stairs. His originally confused mind was woken up instantly. When they finally reached Yisheng¡¯s house, he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s the key?¡± ¡°In my pocket,¡± she continued to lean on his shoulder and pointed at her trouser pocket. Song Anchen went to take out the key, which made Yisheng¡¯s whole body tremble. This sort of inadvertent touch seemed to make her want to erupt. Song Anchen did not notice Yisheng¡¯s changes and brought her into the house. Because she was practically unconscious, Song Anchen was unable to switch on the light. Thankfully, he was familiar with her house and he sent her directly to her room and threw her on the bed. He was a little tired and so he fell on her bed and rested as well. As soon as he closed his eyes, his drunkenness seemed to come back, and his head seemed to feel heavy again. In the dark, a pair of small hands touched his hands, they were not very dexterous but caused him to feel on fire. What followed it was his subtle change. The results were of course a home run. CH 13 Trigger warning + General warnings: This chapter mentions r*pe and sex, as well as a suicide attempt. There are also mentions of date r*pe drugs. Translated by: Cherry When the sunlight shone into the room, Yisheng felt a little dizzy. She pinched her forehead, feeling like she had done some incredibly hard work which made her back and waist ache. She opened her eyes slightly and just happened to catch sight of the naked back of a man on her bed? She was shocked and almost jumped up. When she sat up in shock, she suddenly realized that she was completely naked, the body of a young girl showing. She hurriedly covered herself with the blanket, trying her best to recall what she had done yesterday night. Her memory went back to the dark night last night. It seemed that she really wanted someone to hug her, and when she touched the bed, her whole body felt hot and she felt like she needed to find something that would help her stop her physiological reaction, but she did not know what it was. In her frenzy, she touched skin that was as smooth as jade, it was a lot cooler than her palm. Suddenly, she wanted more, so she slowly moved her body and pressed herself closer to the cooler skin. Suddenly, someone grabbed her restless hand, muttering, ¡°Don¡¯t touch.¡± But she wanted to touch it. She did not hear that person¡¯s words and directly put her head on his chest, trying to get that bit of coolness. That was until she got out of control. She wanted more. ¡­ Yisheng was shocked and stopped trying to recall what had happened last night. Her body kept trembling, she had slept with someone, she went to bed with her childhood friend. She clearly remembered that she was the one who had removed his clothes first, and after that, they had sex. She was in a mess, looking at that naked back, she felt even more frightened. She was scared that even a small action would wake him up, and then she would be caught in action. If that happened, she would not be able to explain herself. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the messy clothes that were on the quilt, held them to her chest, and got out of bed as quietly as possible. She was very, very careful. She made as few sounds as possible as she stepped on the floor. She was watching Song Anchen cautiously, staggering out of the room step by step. When she finally got out of her room safely, she was finally able to breathe. However, her face lowered instantly, and she looked distraught. She was too horrible, even if she could not get his heart, she should not have taken advantage of him and forced herself on him. Yisheng covered her face, looking very upset. How could she be such a shameless girl! After she finished taking a bath in the washroom, she wore her pajamas and waited for Song Anchen to wake up. It would be a mess soon. She was acting like a very good girl, warming up the milk and bread and sitting down to wait. After less than half an hour, she heard sounds coming from her room. Her heartbeat quickened. What was coming would eventually come. The instant her room door opened, she had already made up a bunch of excuses for herself. She did not take advantage of his drunken state and forced herself on him, she could swear that at that time, she had become a pervert after drinking the alcohol and could not control herself. She was coming up with a bunch of reasons, but Song Anchen did not give her a chance to perform. He just glanced at her, blushed, then hurried into the bathroom. After he finished washing his face, he sat down next to her, eating the breakfast she had prepared for him without saying a word. She felt even more worried with Song Anchen¡¯s silence. However, she was also a little touched, he had probably not wanted to embarrass her or sue her for using force. Hence, he was acting as if nothing had happened. Since he was so calm, she, as the criminal, would not turn herself in and ruin her future. He had already helped her, so she should be grateful. She pretended to be calm as she said, ¡°Did you sleep well last night?¡± her smile was very brilliant. Song Anchen was about to drink milk when he heard Yisheng¡¯s question and almost choked. His face, which had already returned to its normal color instantly reddened, and he was slightly uncomfortable. Yisheng cried out in her heart, this was bad. She had brought up something that he was probably very upset about, the fact that he got r*ped, the pain of losing his virginity. She really wanted to slap herself, why did she ask such a horrible question? ¡°Yes, besides for the fact that my waist is a little sore,¡± He continued to drink his milk, his actions a little unnatural. Yisheng gulped, then smiled, acting dumb, ¡°I slept very well yesterday, all the way until dawn.¡± Song Anchen looked at her, slightly stunned. ¡°Hehe,¡± Yisheng got goosebumps from him looking at her so ¡®attentively¡¯. She tried her best to avoid his gaze, ¡°Who asked you to drink so much last night and drunkenly sleep on my bed? If you slept on my father¡¯s Simmons bed, your waist won¡¯t be sore now.¡± He could not help frowning, he complained a little, ¡°You¡¯re the one¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± There was a scream coming from the house opposite. It was Lin Ruohan¡¯s scream. Song Anchen¡¯s expression changed and he ran out in a panic. Yisheng followed behind. When waves and waves of screams and cries came out from Song Anchen¡¯s room, Yisheng felt that something was wrong. Lin Ruohan had her own room. Why did she not stay in her room and go to Song Anchen¡¯s room instead? When Song Anchen opened the door, he was shocked. Yisheng followed behind him and when she saw such a scene, she got a fright. Why did such things need to happen in pairs? She saw Lin Ruohan completely naked and hugging a blanket, crying painfully on the bed. However, she was the only one in the house, there was no sign of a man at all. The room was a mess, and the blankets were pulled on the floor, the drawers had been searched, but her clothes were torn. There were even condoms in the trash can. This scene caused people to think of something horrible. Song Anchen did not hesitate and directly called He Jin. The person who answered the phone was his nanny. She said that he was completely drunk yesterday and had yet to wake up. Song Anchen¡¯s heart turned cold. He quietly looked at Lin Ruohan who was crying, wanting to go up to her and comfort her. However, Lin Ruohan glared at him fiercely and wailed. Song Anchen wanted to help her wipe away her tears, but she scratched him and left a long red mark, ¡°I hate you, I hate you.¡± Song Anchen pursed his lips, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Slap,¡± She slapped Song Anchen¡¯s face. His skin was tender and instantly, there was a red handprint mark on his face. Lin Ruohan cried more and more severely, ¡°You left me behind, you¡¯re inhumane.¡± Song Anchen was silent and did not say a word. Yisheng¡¯s heart ached a little and wanted to walk over, but Lin Ruohan started to scold her, crazed, ¡°You vixen, you must have seduced my brother and brought him to your house yesterday. If it wasn¡¯t for you¡­¡± She did not continue speaking, it was like someone had grabbed her by her neck and made her unable to speak. ¡°Get lost, I don¡¯t want to see you two,¡± She covered her ears, worked up and extremely mad. Song Anchen grabbed Yisheng, hinting that they should leave. The two of them left the room and went silent. Song Anchen said in an extremely serious tone, ¡°We need to tell my Dad about this matter.¡± ¡°She¡­ Who was the one who¡­¡± Yisheng had yet to finish speaking when her phone rang. It was He Jin. She instantly picked up the call, a sleepy voice sounded from the phone, ¡°What were you calling me for?¡± ¡°Did you send Lin Ruohan home yesterday?¡± Song Anchen heard that it was He Jin and instantly snatched the phone from Yisheng, ¡°He Jin, didn¡¯t I tell you to send my sister home before I left yesterday? Did you send her home or not?¡± ¡°I did,¡± He Jin was a little confused, ¡°But I was a little drunk and your sister was also a little drunk. I could not send her home on my own, so I found the yellow-haired friend of that bartender and sent her home with him.¡± ¡°You sent her home?¡± ¡°I sent her to the building but did not go up. I could not walk anymore so I asked the yellow-haired boy to help me send her upstairs.¡± Song Anchen took a deep breath, ¡°Do you know what happened? My sister was r*ped, and that person is very likely to be the yellow-haired boy.¡± ¡°What?¡± He Jin¡¯s voice instantly increased in volume. His original sleepy tone was instantly gone. He hesitated for a long time, ¡°I¡­I¡¯ll go to your place right now.¡± When Song Anchen returned the phone to Yisheng, he sat on the sofa in silence. After a long time, he messed up his hair in frustration, blaming himself. In the end, he picked up the phone and called his father. On the other end of the phone call, when his parents found out what happened, his stepmother scolded him very sharply and rudely. Song Anchen listened quietly, looking especially troubled. When he put down the phone, Yisheng suddenly wanted to help him share his burdens but did not know how to comfort him. The only thing she could do was sit by his side and look at him quietly. She wanted to tell him that she wished to help him share his worries. What happened after, Yisheng was completely unable to accept. Song Anchen¡¯s father wanted to call the police but no matter what they said, Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother refused to agree, saying that it would ruin her daughter¡¯s reputation. At that time, they were holding the election for the next vice-mayor. Ye Yisheng¡¯s father and Song Anchen¡¯s father were both candidates. However, this event happening to the Song Family was obviously unfavorable for Father Song. Originally, she had wanted to keep silent and refuse to talk about the anger and bitterness in her heart, but Lin Ruohan was unable to accept that she had been r*ped, and the burden in her heart seemed to get heavier and heavier. In the end, she chose to slit her wrists and commit suicide. It was obvious that this matter could no longer be hidden. Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother was crying a lot at that time, scolding Song Anchen and his father, then scolding Yisheng. When Ye Yisheng¡¯s father found out about this matter, he came to talk to Yisheng, ¡°Anchen stayed in our house?¡± ¡°Yes, we were all drunk that day, so he directly fell onto my bed and slept.¡± ¡°Nothing happened, right?¡± Ye Yisheng¡¯s father was smart and there was a sharpness hidden in his gaze. Yisheng shook her head, ¡°Nothing happened.¡± ¡°Then why did you wash the sheets?¡± ¡°Oh, I vomited on the bed,¡± Even she admired her ability to lie. Of course, she had to wash off the blood from her loss of virginity. From then on, Ye Yisheng¡¯s father did not mention his incident again. The yellow-haired boy denied that he had r*ped Lin Ruohan when he got arrested. He had said that after he had sent her to her room, he only wanted to steal something. However, he did not expect that Lin Ruohan would hug him from behind when he was looking for things in Song Anchen¡¯s room and say that she wanted him. She confessed that she had liked her brother for a long time, and started to cry and complain about how wronged she felt. This ruffian was not very pure, so when a beauty hugged him, along with the moving confession, of course, he would go through with the act. After Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother found out about that, she did not hesitate and divorced Song Anchen¡¯s father. The two of them divorced amicably and Lin Ruohan was quietly brought away by her mother. Song Anchen¡¯s father sent Song Anchen to the countryside to reflect, and he did not go to school as the date for the college entrance examination got close. However, bad things always happened together. After a month, Yisheng¡¯s mother¡¯s condition worsened and it became terminal gastric cancer. Her father, who had been going around to gain support for the election had to stop his work and take care of his sick wife. Yisheng¡¯s grades kept dropping because of her emotions. There were a few times when Yisheng stood at the entrance of the hospital, watching how her father would smoke a lot, looking troubled, his eyebrows always knitted together. She could only stand at the side and look at her father, unable to help at all. On the day of her mother¡¯s operation which was only to help her extend her life by one and a half years, her father seemed to be a lot more spirited than before. When her mother was finally pushed into the hospital ward and Yisheng saw her father¡¯s relief, she finally understood what her father was worried about. It was the high surgery costs. Although her father was a government official and had medical insurance that would be able to cover ninety percent of the medical fees, her mother was a housewife and did not have that insurance at all. The salary of a government official was fixed and stable, and naturally, there would not be any additional money. Her father was extremely prideful and naturally, he was unable to bring himself to borrow money from others. Where did this money come from? In less than half a month, the police sirens rang below her house and arrested her father. Only then did she know that her father had been arrested for corruption. That year, the government was vigorously cracking down on corruption, and the sentence was extremely heavy. Her father had only taken ten thousand RMB, but he was sentenced to six years in prison. (T/N: It¡¯s around 1.5k USD) Less than a week after her father was arrested, her mother relapsed, she was constantly in so much pain that she would sweat a lot. Every time, she would cry and tell Yisheng that she did not want to live anymore. Yisheng had thought that her mother would be reluctant to leave her behind and would be strong enough to continue living. However, her mother had only managed to endure until a week before her college entrance examination. She thought that her world had fallen apart. When she was about to go crazy, Song Anchen returned from the countryside. He looked at Yisheng quietly, when she could not stop crying at her mother¡¯s funeral, he had hugged her and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of you for the rest of my life. You still have me.¡± However, she did not listen to his words. She had left everything behind and voluntarily went far away, all she wanted was to get away from this place. She had completely forgotten what this man had promised her. But did this promise fade with time? CH 14 Ye Yisheng listened to whatever Song Anchen said. Song Anchen asked her to stop constantly appearing around him, and she had listened to him. They were both in the same oncology department, and doctors and nurses had to see each other all the time. However, Song Anchen did not see Yisheng at all for over one week of work. He did not know why, but he felt even more empty after he was unable to meet her. Yisheng was currently chewing on her pen, lowering her head to read the ¡°Medical Manual¡±. She raised her hand to look at her watch. It was right after lunch, and she felt like it was time for her to find the Head Nurse. To avoid Song Anchen, she found all kinds of reasons to switch shifts with other people. She had switched shifts for a week already, but now, she could not find any other reasons, and could only look for the source, the Head Nurse, and ask her to help her change her shifts. At any rate, she had agreed with the nurse in the other group, Jian Meimei, to swap her shifts with hers. She walked to the Head Nurse¡¯s office and knocked on the door. ¡°Enter,¡± The Head Nurse said from inside her office. When Yisheng opened the door, she saw that the Head Nurse was chatting with someone else. It seemed to be Luo Luoshi, an attending physician of the oncology section of the department of internal medicine that she had met once before. She was a very beautiful doctor, it is said that she was the disciple of a famous doctor and professor at A Medical University. She also raised her head to glance at Yisheng, there were no emotions in her gaze. When the Head Nurse saw Yisheng, she asked, ¡°Is something the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this, Head Nurse, I want to swap my shifts with Jian Meimei. My shifts clash with some of my other matters.¡± The Head Nurse¡¯s smile froze, ¡°What can be more important than your work? As a nurse, you can¡¯t just do anything you want. You need to follow the Head Nurse¡¯s arrangements, do you understand?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± She could not find any reason that she could use. She could not tell her that it was because she wanted to avoid Song Anchen. She gritted her teeth, not sure if she should leave the office now. Luo Luoshi looked at her, seeming to see through her. ¡°You can leave,¡± The Head Nurse ordered Yisheng to leave. Yisheng could not do anything. Her superior did not agree to her request, it would be impossible for her to change her shifts now. She turned and walked out, feeling very unhappy in her heart. ¡°Head Nurse, I¡¯ll be leaving now too,¡± Luo Luoshi told the Head Nurse the moment Yisheng turned around. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sit for a while longer?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s time for me to go to the clinic,¡± The voice behind her got clearer and clearer. When she opened the door to leave, Luo Luoshi followed behind her. Yisheng had just taken a few steps when Luo Luoshi called her from behind, ¡°Ye Yisheng?¡± Yisheng blinked, feeling that this was quite strange as she turned around. Was she so famous? Even the people in the Department of Internal Medicine knew her? Luo Luoshi put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and walked towards her, looking at her up and down. After she had confirmed that Yisheng was the correct person, she smiled slightly, ¡°You¡¯re much more womanly than in the photo.¡± She was stunned, not understanding what the photo Luo Luoshi was talking about was. Luo Luoshi whispered in your ear, slightly ridiculing her, ¡°I¡¯ve seen your naked shoulders.¡± Yisheng could not help but tremble once. Then, she took a step back, looking at her strangely. However, Luo Luoshi started to laugh and turned around to leave. She left behind a confused Yisheng, her naked shoulders? She was wearing a collared shirt in her file, how could Luo Luoshi have seen Yisheng¡¯s naked shoulders? ¡°Yisheng!¡± Jian Meimei¡¯s voice sounded from behind her. She turned around to look, Jian Meimei had already walked over, looking in the direction Luo Luoshi had walked off in, ¡°How did the matter about changing your shift go?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to change it,¡± Yisheng was a little sad. ¡°Oh!¡± Jian Meimei seemed even more disappointed, ¡°I can¡¯t be in the same group as the Cold Prince.¡± Yisheng¡¯s mouth twitched, she was not very interested. Suddenly, she recalled Luo Luoshi¡¯s strange words and could not help but try to find out more, ¡°This Luo Luoshi is from A Medical University, right?¡± Jian Meimei was also from A Medical University, so she probably knew the answer to this question. ¡°Isn¡¯t she a little arrogant?¡± Jian Meimei¡¯s first response was that. Yisheng smiled in a perfunctory way. She did not feel that Luo Luoshi was arrogant, she simply felt that she was a little weird. Jian Meimei pressed her lips together, saying with disdain, ¡°She¡¯s just a disciple of Professor Hu, what¡¯s there to gloat about. This is a hospital, she¡¯s no longer the only disciple of Professor Hu,¡± She hummed, extremely gloating, ¡°Our Prince Song is not only the disciple of Professor Hu, but he¡¯s also a talented student who won the comprehensive medical award and the only person who won the praise of Professor Hu.¡± When Song Anchen was mentioned, she could no longer stay calm. She awkwardly said, ¡°Since he¡¯s good in everything, he should choose the emergency or general surgery department, right?¡± The Oncology Surgery Department was not as good as the Oncology Internal Medicine Department. Normally, the surgery department would accept the patients from the internal medicine department for Oncology, it was quite meaningless. ¡°Ah, who knows why Prince Song made such a foolish decision,¡± She even sighed, ¡°At that time, when he was choosing his department, Professor Hu was also very puzzled by his decision. It appears that Prince Song had a relative who died after a cancer surgery, which had a great impact on him.¡± Song Anchen had a relative who got cancer and died? Yisheng was a little confused, but her mother had died after her surgery for stomach cancer, which also had a great impact on her, and she was very fearful of surgeries after that, it was a fear that could not be explained. At that moment, Zhao Jixiang, who was passing by, saw Yisheng and Jian Meimei standing together. She could not hold back her smile as she jogged over, patting the two of them on their shoulders, ¡°What are you two doing standing here in a daze? Lunch time is already over.¡± ¡°Ah, I¡¯ll go back quickly,¡± Jian Meimei ran off. Yisheng wanted to follow behind her, but Zhao Jixiang stopped her, bringing her to the corner, asking her mysteriously, ¡°Can you help me ask your childhood friend what skincare product he uses? My gosh, his skin is so tender I feel like it would break if I touch it.¡± Yisheng was stunned. Her explanation about the misunderstanding during the blind date was like this: Song Anchen is her childhood friend, they simply had a good relationship, it was just that simple. Of course, in Zhao Jixiang¡¯s eyes, their relationship was not simple at all. A childhood friend who was so outstanding, how could they not have gotten together? Yisheng explained, her childhood friend was too outstanding, and she was not good enough for him. That horrible Zhao Jixiang nodded in agreement, feeling like that was very true. These few days, to avoid Song Anchen, Yisheng would often not eat in the canteen and just randomly eat some snacks. Zhao Jixiang, who had been left alone could only eat with Xiao Zhuozi and his friends everyday. Everytime Zhao Jixiang returned, she would find something good about Song Anchen, either saying that his fingers are slender, his facial features are so beautiful, or his eyelashes were very long and curly, today, she said that his skin was good¡­ Yisheng rolled her eyes at him, ¡°Did you go to eat or peep at him? Isn¡¯t your Xiao Zhuozi jealous?¡± ¡°Him? What can he say? He cannot be compared to Song Anchen at all. The prince is the prince, no matter how you look at him, he¡¯s very good. Eh, Yisheng, I¡¯m so envious of you, you have such a good prince as a childhood friend.¡± She faked a smile. ¡°But why haven¡¯t you gone to eat recently?¡± ¡°I have no appetite.¡± ¡°Are the dishes not to your taste?¡± ¡°Mm, perhaps,¡± Yisheng just randomly answered. Zhao Jixiang realized the problem and said, ¡°How about this, let¡¯s go and eat hotpot?¡± ¡°What about your Xiao Zhuozi?¡± ¡°We can go together.¡± Yisheng smiled coldly, ¡°I won¡¯t go and be a third wheel.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be a third wheel. I¡¯ll ask Xiao Zhuozi to bring Song Anchen along, we can go on a double date?¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly gave a sly smile. When Yisheng saw that, she suddenly broke out in cold sweat, waving her hands as she turned around to go to the duty room, ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you.¡± ¡°Hey, I¡¯m creating an opportunity for you,¡± Zhao Yisheng mumbled from behind her and hurried to catch up to Yisheng. She has not needed opportunities for a long time. *** In the afternoon, when they were about to end their shift, a nurse hurriedly rushed in and panted, ¡°Ah, breaking news, breaking news.¡± The few nurses in the duty room looked at each other, what was the breaking news? ¡°Doctor Yan¡¯s younger brother is staying in our hospital,¡± Yisheng saw that nurse¡¯s eyes shine. The other nurses rushed over, ¡°Which ward?¡± ¡°He¡¯s staying in the G31 high-class ward. If it wasn¡¯t for his younger brother escaping the hospital, we wouldn¡¯t have known that he¡¯s the younger brother of Doctor Yan.¡± Yisheng was stunned, G31? She remembered that there was a mischievous boy who had randomly pressed on the bell when she was on night shift once, and she had pinched him. She blinked, that mischievous brat was her senior¡¯s younger brother? Their personalities were too different! His brother seemed to have leukemia. He had just finished his bone marrow transplant surgery not too long ago, but had escaped? Yisheng hurriedly called her senior, the phone rang for a very long time before someone picked it up. Yan Heng¡¯s tired voice could be heard, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Senior, have you found your little brother?¡± Yang Heng did not say anything for a long time. He had not expected that Yisheng would know about this matter and that she would be concerned about him. He smiled bitterly, ¡°That brat has always been wild. B City is so big, and it¡¯s tough to find him.¡± Yisheng looked at her watch. It was almost time for her to get off work, she hurriedly asked, ¡°Senior, where are you? I¡¯ll go find you.¡± ¡°I thought that your shift hasn¡¯t ended?¡± Yan Heng was a little shocked. ¡°There¡¯s only half an hour left, I don¡¯t care anymore,¡± Yisheng said. Yan Heng paused for a long while, unable to say anything for a long time. Yisheng did not know what he was thinking. Perhaps he had been conflicted or had been moved by Yisheng¡¯s ¡®I don¡¯t care anymore¡¯. In the end, he said, ¡°I¡¯m at¡­ The fountain at People¡¯s Square.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right there,¡± She put down the things in her hand and told Zhao Jixiang, who was being gossipy, ¡°I¡¯ll end work early, uh¡­ if the Head Nurse comes to check on us, help me cover-up.¡± After Yisheng said that, she ran to change her clothes, not giving Zhao Jixiang time to ask any questions. It happened that Song Anchen was doing his last ward checks before he ended work. When he saw Yisheng, who ran off like the wind, he was stunned. After that, he heard the nurses speaking. ¡°I told you, Ye Yisheng and Doctor Yan have something going on. Look, as soon as she heard that something happened to Doctor Yan, she ran off so quickly. Look at how worried she is.¡± ¡°I think so too. She¡¯s just an intern, but she dares to skip work, if she gets caught, she¡¯ll be in trouble.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there for her to be scared of? She has Doctor Yan as her backing. To get a rich husband, she naturally must put in more effort,¡± One of the nurses was especially salty. Zhao Jixiang yelled, ¡°If you can¡¯t stand it when people manage to get a rich husband, you can get one yourself! Why are you talking behind people¡¯s backs? Why are all of you so jealous?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you exactly the same? You run to Doctor Song¡¯s table to eat everyday, it¡¯s obvious that you have wicked intentions.¡± ¡°You few¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang was angry and went crazy. He could hear the ruckus in the duty room, but Song Anchen just turned around and left quietly. He was grasping so tightly onto the case files in his hands that the papers were getting crumpled. He had asked her to date someone, and she was so obedient. Song Anchen could not help but laugh bitterly, a sour feeling in his heart. He was the one who had said those words, but he felt so horrible when he heard such news. He blamed her, he blamed her for not taking him seriously. He blamed her, for not having him in her heart at all. But he could not do it. Even if her heart did not have him, he still cared so much. CH 15 Ahh hello! Cherry here! I¡¯m going to have to reduce my posting to one chapter part per week until I¡¯m less busy¡­ So sorry and thank you for being patient~ I¡¯ll up my upload amount when I¡¯m free! Translated by: Cherry At the fountain of People¡¯s Square, a tall, good-looking man with a good figure was wearing a white T-shirt and standing on the People¡¯s Square, his hands in his pockets. He looked extremely tired, and his brows were still knitted together. Yisheng got off the taxi and looked around, spotting him from very far away. She took a breath and ran over. ¡°Senior.¡± Yan Heng turned his head to look over, and his eyes twinkled. He walked over to her and chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re brave, aren¡¯t you worried that you¡¯ll get fired?¡± Yisheng glanced at him, she obviously did not like his joke. She went straight to the main topic, ¡°Don¡¯t you know where your younger brother normally goes to?¡± ¡°It¡¯s his first time coming to B City, he¡¯s not familiar with this place at all. This time, he probably ran away from home because my mother was being too controlling,¡± He brought Yisheng to his car and opened the car door for her. After that, he got on the car himself. The two of them were sitting in the car and Yisheng said, ¡°What does he like to do?¡± ¡°Play games, and get beautiful women.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng started to sweat. The first time she had seen that mischievous boy, he seemed to be the kind to fool around a lot, that was probably how he was as a person. She paused for a moment, ¡°Then let¡¯s got to a place with a lot of games and beautiful women.¡± ¡°There are so many places of entertainment, how can we find him?¡± Yisheng tried to recall. Yan Heng¡¯s brother was very much like a rich second generation who spent a lot of money, and these sorts of people would normally go to more luxurious places. However, he was just a child, did he have enough money with him to go to such extravagant places? She could not help but ask, ¡°Does he have enough money on him?¡± ¡°He has never lacked money,¡± Yan Heng smiled, ¡°A typical wastrel.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the most expensive entertainment place in B City,¡± Yisheng answered. Yan Heng smiled and said, ¡°Hai Kuo Tian Kong?¡± (T/N: The ¡®Hai Kuo Tian Kong¡¯ º£À«Ìì¿Õ means a place that is endlessly vast (like the boundless sea and sky), but I translated it as how it is read in in Chinese.) ¡®Hai Kuo Tian Kong¡¯ was a large-scale entertainment place with every possible facility. There were food and drinks, girls and gambling. It was a very extravagant place and a gathering place for the upper class that was filled with a corrosive atmosphere. It was often on the news headlines for pornography and gambling. However, no one knew what the background of the new boss was, but after it was closed down for half a year, it was opened again a few months back. Although it was said to have changed entirely, the place did not actually change, it was just that the authorities no longer conducted checks on this place. Because of that, everyone in B City said that the new boss was powerful. However, would an underage boy go to that sort of place? Yisheng was doubtful. However, Yan Heng smiled and said, ¡°Actually, we can go and take a look.¡± ¡°Pft!¡± Yisheng was quite speechless. It was more suitable for men to go to such places. She opened her mouth, wanting to get off the car but feeling too embarrassed. She was the one who had come over to show her concern, if she said that she did not want to go now, wouldn¡¯t it be very strange? She frowned. She was really looking for trouble for herself. Hai Kuo Tian Kong is not in the uptown area, but not in the suburb either. It was in B City¡¯s unique entertainment city. B City is a vice-provincial city and an economic hub, rich bosses from other places often came to this entertainment place to play. When they reached the entrance of Hai Kuo Tian Kong, Yisheng finally understood what was luxury. The black color scheme was particularly eye-catching, colorful lights shining on it, and the fountain at the entrance was light blue, the door was gold in color. The ceiling was covered with many shining stars, causing people to feel like this was a dream. The two of them had just parked the car at the entrance when a waiter came to stand by the car and smiled at them, greeting them. Yan Heng got off the car and opened the door for Yisheng, ¡°Stick close to me.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yisheng followed Yan Heng and got off the car, nodding her head. Yan Heng threw the car key at the waiter and a VIP card. The waiter said politely, ¡°After the car is parked, your key will be hung at the front desk.¡± Yan Heng nodded his head and walked on the red carpet. Yisheng faltered, the lights were so bright, and with the red carpet, there was a feeling of being a celebrity. She followed Yan Heng and walked inside. When she opened the door, the orange light stung her eyes for a moment and she could not react. It was even brighter than the lights outside. Yan Heng brought her to the gambling area. There were all kinds of gambling games there, and all Yisheng recognized were Texas Hold ¡®Em, Baccarat, Blackjack, and Roulette. Yan Heng looked around the whole hall. When his eyes locked on a youthful boy who was playing Blackjack, his expression changed instantly. He walked over to that table and looked at the boy quietly. (T/N: I have no idea what ½Ü¿ËÉ­ is, and I can¡¯t seem to find anything on it, anyway just take it as a gambling game. I replaced it with Blackjack¡­ But I don¡¯t think it¡¯s that¡­) Yisheng followed him. Yan Heng¡¯s younger brother¡¯s face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from his surgery. However, this boy seemed very experienced, using methodical ways to call out ¡®Draw cards¡¯, ¡®Stop drawing¡¯, ¡®Double my bet¡¯. His gaze was focused, and it was hard for her to imagine that this was the same bored child who was randomly pressing the bell. When applause sounded, she saw him smile slightly and reach out his arm to hug the pile of chips to his chest. Yisheng blinked, that was a lot. There was someone who mumbled next to her, ¡°This young man is good. In two hours, he¡¯s made fifty thousand from three thousand.¡± Yan Heng seemed to have heard that as well. His hands were clasped together as he looked at his younger brother quietly. He then saw his younger brother boldly bet all the money he had just earned. In the new round, everyone was obviously a lot more nervous, and everyone held their breath and watched without turning their gazes. There was one of each card, and the card in front of him was Q, the number was very big and it was easy to exceed the maximum number of points. The dealer had an A, and they were playing soft total this round, so A could be one point or eleven points. It was very advantageous. Now, all that mattered was whether he was going to take more cards, stop taking cards, or increase his bet. Normally, people would continue taking cards, to try their luck. However, he did not do so and directly said, ¡°I¡¯ll stop drawing cards.¡± (T/N: I¡¯m so so sorry I really have no idea about this game or gambling in general, so I might translate it wrongly¡­) That meant that this round had already ended, it only depended on the still hidden card. The dealer smiled and opened up the card to show a nine. That means that it was twenty points. The dealer had an A in his hand, and it was the highest card, which meant that he had twenty-one points. The card that the youth had in his hand was a Q, which was ten points. The only one that could get eleven points was an A, if he got eleven points, that was a Blackjack, he would get 1.5 times of his bet back. If it was not an A, then the fifty thousand would be lost, without a single cent left. The on-lookers were nervously looking at his other card. The pessimistic people naturally did not hold much hope. How many As could there be in the eight remaining cards? There was already one A out, how could there be another A? The young man yawned and flipped the card. The moment a spades ace appeared on the table, the whole Blackjack area cheered. Yisheng was stunned, how did he increase his money by 1.5 times just like that? The dealer pressed his lips together, a little helpless, ¡°Young man, you have a good future ahead of you.¡± He stood up to cash in his chips, ready to leave, but he happened to face the enigmatic Yan Heng. He smiled, ¡°Brother.¡± Yan Heng patted his shoulder and had his brother follow him. Before Yan Heng left, he instructed Yisheng, ¡°You can hang out here for a while. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Yisheng instantly nodded her head. Yan Heng¡¯s brother looked at Yisheng and widened his eyes, pointing at her, ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± He had yet to finish his sentence when he was dragged away by Yan Heng. Yisheng chuckled, did she look very scary? She looked at the whole gambling hall, lacking interest and unsure about what she should look at to pass time. ¡°Eh? Yisheng?¡± A woman said from behind her. Yisheng was stunned and turned around, a little confused. She saw a woman with a hairstyle that was popular among the elegant high-class ladies and wearing a tight black dress that was off-shoulder and long, walking towards Yisheng with a smile on her face. Her smile was a little familiar. She remembered looking at that smiling face when she was young and holding onto Song Anchen¡¯s hand, saying, ¡°Your Mom is so pretty.¡± After that, his mother left and what took her place was Song Anchen¡¯s stunning face that he had inherited from his mother. After many years, Song Anchen¡¯s mother did not change at all. She was still as beautiful as ever, although she was older now, she was still very charming. Every step she took, many people turned to look at her. ¡°Auntie,¡± Yisheng felt very uneasy. If she had not forced Song Anchen to stay at that time, he would probably be together with his mother now. Song Anchen¡¯s mother chuckled, ¡°So the first person I met as soon as I returned to China is my child daughter-in-law.¡± (T/N: Like the exact phrase is probably more similar to child bride daughter-in-law, but the main idea is that it¡¯s someone they decided to have as a daughter-in-law since young? Like it¡¯s a joke. After this, if I use child bride and child daughter-in-law, it doesn¡¯t mean that they actually got married when they were young, it¡¯s just a joke since their parents ¡®decided¡¯ they wanted them to get engaged when they were young(a joke too).) Yisheng forced a smile. When they were very young, the two families liked to joke around and decided to betroth Song Anchen and Yisheng when they were young. At that time, she did not understand and even called Song Anchen¡¯s mother ¡®mother-in-law¡¯. However, that was something that had happened a very very long time ago. Song Anchen¡¯s mother glanced around, ¡°You came here alone?¡± ¡°No, I came with a friend.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother nodded her head in understanding, ¡°I¡¯ve already been back for two months, but I haven¡¯t had the opportunity to look for Song Anchen. Is he doing fine now?¡± ¡°Oh, he should be doing very well. He¡¯s a doctor in the Third Affiliated Hospital of B City, and I¡¯m a nurse there as well.¡± ¡°Is that so,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother covered her mouth and chuckled, ¡°At that time, I asked him to study economics, but he refused to and insisted on going to medical school. I didn¡¯t know what¡¯s so good about being a doctor. It was only after that I found out it was for his child bride. He could not bear to separate from her,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother teased Yisheng, ¡°The two of you got together in high school, and it¡¯s already been seven to eight years now. When are you two getting married?¡± Yisheng was stunned, not sure about how to answer. She had not thought that Song Anchen had chosen medical school for her, and she had not expected that Song Anchen¡¯s mother would not know about what had happened to them six years ago. Song Anchen¡¯s mother saw Yisheng looking at her in shock and misunderstood. ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve been in Las Vegas with my foreigner husband these few years, and have not asked Song Anchen about his matters at all. Did you two already get married?¡± ¡°No,¡± Yisheng hurriedly waved her hands. ¡°Find a suitable time and go get married.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng said, ¡°No, we¡­¡± ¡°What are you saying no for? The two of you are already twenty-five. I know that you young people like to live together unmarried. But Yisheng, although I have confidence in my son, that his heart is completely with you, the longer you are together, the less passion you¡¯ll have. If you get pregnant before marriage, you won¡¯t even be able to wear a wedding dress. The time that you¡¯re most beautiful is when you wear a wedding dress,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother was serious, but Yisheng was breaking out in cold sweat. What was going on? She wanted to explain when a waiter walked over, ¡°Madame, the boss is calling.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother glanced over and hummed, expressionless, ¡°Alright.¡± After that, she turned to smile at Yisheng and say, ¡°I¡¯m a little busy, I¡¯ll go to the hospital on another day to look for you two.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± She gave up, sending off Song Anchen¡¯s mother who rushed off as quickly as she had arrived. She did not even have time to explain. This misunderstanding was quite bad, she hoped that the next time Song Anchen¡¯s mother came to the hospital to look for them, there would not be such an embarrassing misunderstanding, she really wanted to find tofu and knock her head on it. Just when she was feeling conflicted, the two people who were done talking returned. ¡°Hi, Sister Nurse,¡± His younger brother waved at her three steps away from her. She politely waved back and said, ¡°Hi.¡± ¡°Pft,¡± His younger brother started to laugh, holding onto Yan Heng¡¯s shoulder and saying, ¡°Brother, your lover is so amusing. She¡¯s suited to be a kindergarten teacher.¡± Yan Heng pressed his lips together, obviously finding the childlike nature of Yisheng quite funny. He cleared his throat and told Yisheng, ¡°Let¡¯s send my younger brother back to the hospital first. After that, I¡¯ll send you back home.¡± Yisheng nodded. On the way back, in a car. ¡°Hey, Sister Nurse, I¡¯m Yan Yan. Gender male, likes females,¡± Yan Heng¡¯s brother was sitting in the backseat, his body leaning forward, grinning at Yisheng who was sitting in the front passenger seat. (T/N: In case you were wondering, the two ¡®Yan¡¯s in the brother¡¯s name are not the same character. They are also pronounced a little differently) Yisheng was a little speechless, ¡°My name is Ye Yisheng, my gender is the opposite of yours, but what I like is exactly the same as what you like.¡± Yan Yan stiffened and muttered in a low voice, ¡°No wonder you like guys like my brother.¡± A chestnut hit Yan Yan¡¯s head and Yan Yan glared at Yan Heng, ¡°I¡¯m a patient, I need to be taken care of.¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking care of you and giving you chestnuts to eat,¡± Yan Heng rolled his eyes at him. Yan Yan asked Yisheng, ¡°Sister Yisheng, do you think that I¡¯m good at Blackjack?¡± ¡°You¡¯re good.¡± ¡°My older brother is even better, he¡¯s the one who taught me¡­ Ah!¡± Yan Heng directly reached out his hand at Yan Yan and pushed him back on his seat. ¡°If you don¡¯t shut up, I¡¯ll throw you out of the car.¡± At that moment, the car happened to be in a place with very few people. Yan Yan instantly shut his mouth. After he pondered for a long time, he said, ¡°Sister Nurse, is my brother this violent to you?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°He¡¯s actually a beast wearing clothes, right? When he removes his clothes, his original self is exposed.¡± Yisheng instantly choked. ¡°Yan Yan, if you say one more word, I¡¯ll make you get off the car instantly.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll close my anus.¡± ¡°I¡¯m surprised you know that your mouth stinks.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The person behind kept quiet. Yisheng could not help but laugh. She had not realized until now that her senior had this side to him. The truth was, she did not know him very well, she had always complained about her life to him, but had never asked him about his life before. When they reached the hospital, Yan Heng ordered him to get off the car by himself and return to his ward. Yan Yan said his goodbyes to Yisheng unwillingly. After Yan Heng had left Yan Yan behind, Yan Heng sent Yisheng back home. On the way back, it became very quiet suddenly. Yisheng looked at the side of his face and suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become very serious. He sent her to the entrance of the estate she lived in and stopped the car. Yisheng picked up her bag and got ready to get off the car. Yan Hen suddenly asked, his voice very soft, ¡°Yisheng, why did you act like this today?¡± ¡°Hm?¡± She took a while to react. ¡°Do you know? That one day, I¡¯m worried that I¡¯ll be unable to control myself anymore.¡± She looked at him quietly. ¡°Your childhood friend is Song Anchen, right?¡± She did not move. ¡°You still love him, right?¡± She remained quiet, not moving at all. ¡°I understand, good night,¡± He smiled at her, his gaze returning to how it was before, a gaze that held the care that a senior had for a junior. Yisheng gritted her teeth and remembered Song Anchen¡¯s words, ¡°Go date someone.¡± Her senior¡¯s words caused her to overthink the meaning of his words, but she would not think lightly of herself either. She pressed her lips together and simply said, ¡°Song Anchen is only someone I used to love.¡± After she said that, she got off the car and walked towards her house. Yan Heng, who was left in the car watched her in a daze, unable to return to his senses for a long time. *** Yisheng was feeling very troubled. She sped up as she walked towards the building she lived in and saw a Bentley with its headlights on. A man was half-sitting, half-leaning on the front of the car, a cigarette in one of his hands as he rested both of his hands on the front of the car. His gaze kept flitting to some part of the building and he looked especially lonely. The cigarette in his hand was still lit up, and the ashes from the cigarette falling to the ground, there were a few cigarettes by his feet, and she suddenly thought of the boy who had been at the bicycle parking lots after Valentine¡¯s day that year, smiling as he ate the chocolate she had given him. Gold paper scattered around his feet, the youth who had looked at her in anticipation. This was someone she had once loved¡­ CH 16.1 Translated by: Cherry The night was quiet, under the white moonlight, Yisheng looked at that man quietly. Song Anchen extinguished the cigarette he held in his fingers, stood up, and prepared to get on the car. However, at that instant he turned around, he noticed Yisheng, who was standing a short distance away. The two of them looked at each other. His gaze was steady, it was like a pool of water that was about to face a storm, calm now, but would be full of ripples later. Song Anchen let go of the car door that he was about to open and walked towards her. Yisheng paused and instinctively took a step back. The distance between the two of them was less than three feet. He stopped and looked at her quietly, smiling. Yisheng felt that this smile was very strange, it caused her to feel frightened. She opened her mouth and laughed awkwardly, ¡°Did Younger Brother Ye come here to find me?¡± He raised his eyebrow, there was a flash of anger between his brows that Yisheng had not seen for a very long time. He said, ¡°I¡¯m here to look at the moon.¡± She was stunned. Then, she heard him say, ¡°Older Sister Ye came back so early today.¡± Song Anchen rarely called her Older Sister. In her memories, he had only called her Older Sister once. The first time was in junior high school, they were heading home together when suddenly, a ¡®Cheng Yaojin¡¯ came up to her and confessed his feelings to her. She was so scared that she did not know how to answer. It was Song Anchen who helped her respond. He said, Older Sister Ye already has someone she likes. He was smiling very casually and very sincerely, but Yisheng remembered that after that, his expression was very bad and he did not speak to her for a very long time. When Song Anchen called her ¡®Older Sister Ye¡¯, she felt very stressed and could only act dumb, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s only ten-thirty now.¡± Song Anchen did not respond to her words. However, he kept staring at her, he did not blink, and there were no emotions in his eyes. Yisheng felt very uneasy by Song Anchen, who was staring at her without saying a word. She surrendered, ¡°Al¡­alright, it¡¯s a little late.¡± ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Song Anchen suddenly spoke. Yisheng could not imagine that when the person who refused to speak for such a long time opened his mouth, he would use this old excuse again. Yisheng almost fell over. After her last lesson of ¡®serving the guest without any groceries¡¯, her current fridge was filled to the brim. However, she promised, it was definitely not for this pig that often told her that he was hungry! Yisheng rolled her eyes, ¡°Well, you can go home and eat.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very hungry.¡± ¡°You can drive to a shop to eat.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hungry that I can¡¯t drive,¡± His expression was very bad, and his gaze was burning, forcing her to agree. She gritted her teeth, ¡°Well, you can come to my house to eat.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± He started to smile, his eyes full of emotions. Yisheng glanced at him, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. She led Song Anchen upstairs but felt a little sad in her heart. He was her childhood friend, the son of her father¡¯s best friend, even if she wanted to stay away from him, but she could not. Even if she wanted to get close, she did not have the courage to. As soon as she entered her house, Yisheng switched on the lights, but no matter how many times she pressed on the light switch, the light refused to turn on. In the dark house, Yisheng was stunned. It can¡¯t be that the lights were spoilt, right? Song Anchen said from behind her, ¡°It seems that the filament of your lights is broken.¡± ¡°That¡¯s probably the issue. Wait for a little while, I¡¯ll grab the ladder and change the lights,¡± Yisheng hurriedly took off her shoes and switched on the light elsewhere, running to the balcony to retrieve the ladder. Yisheng had just picked up the ladder and turned around when she saw Song Anchen standing at the entrance and taking the ladder from her hands, silently moving it to below the lights in the living room. He said, ¡°A guy should do this sort of thing,¡± After that, he removed his jacket and handed it to her, climbing up the ladder, ¡°Hand me the lightbulb.¡± Yisheng was stunned for a moment, completely immersed in the sudden warmth. She snapped herself out of it and quickly handed him the light bulb in her hand. He took the light bulb and started to install it. At that moment, there was suddenly the sound of a phone vibrating. In the house that was both dark and quiet, it was very loud. ¡°Help me accept the call,¡± Song Anchen said from above. Yisheng hurriedly found the phone in the jacket she was holding and happened to see the caller ID. Eh? It was Luo Luoshi? (T/N: Different pronunciations for the Luo) She accepted the call and placed it by her ear before she spoke, ¡°Hello?¡± CH 17.1 Yisheng had not seen her senior in many days. It was later on that she heard from Zhao Jixiang that recently, the hospital had sent a medical team to the countryside, and the attending doctors were the first group to go to the countryside. Yisheng realized that it was very tiring to be an attending doctor. Not only did they often need to face important surgeries, they even need to do medical research. Sometimes, they would only be able to sleep a few hours a day. Although her senior was still young, he had to face the pressure of being an attending doctor. At seven o¡¯clock in the morning of Qixi Festival, she received a message from Yan Heng, it was a simple message: Little Junior, the Qixi Festival that the cowherd looks forward to has arrived. You should be happy too. The words did not reveal much of his emotions, but there was a special heartfelt feeling to those words. Yisheng replied: Senior, the weaver girl expresses that she is very happy. After she sent that message, she wanted to get up and get ready to go to work, but suddenly realized that it was Sunday and she happened to be on holiday today. When she realized that she was on holiday, she instantly fell back onto the bed and slept. When she woke up, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon. (T/N: Qixi Festival is a Chinese festival celebrating the annual meeting of the cowherd and weaver girl in mythology. It¡¯s also known as the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day) She scratched her head and walked to the kitchen, wanting to heat up a glass of milk to drink. She had just put the milk in the microwave when her cell phone rang. She hurried to answer the call when she found out that it was Zhao Jixiang, who was supposed to be the busiest during Qixi Festival? ¡°Hello?¡± Yisheng picked up the call, finding it strange. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Instantly there was the sound of Zhao Jixiang going crazy. Yisheng was shocked, ¡°Have you gone crazy?¡± ¡°Yisheng,¡± Zhao Jixiang lamented as if Yisheng had died, ¡°My Xiao Zhuozi returned to school today to write a report instead of accompanying me during Qixi Festival.¡± (T/N: Cause it¡¯s Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day, so normally couples spend it together) Yisheng¡¯s mouth twitched. She had thought that something big had happened, but it was such a small matter? She said rudely, ¡°You can celebrate it alone, then.¡± ¡°How solitary, how lonely,¡± Zhao Jixiang was extremely aggrieved as she said, ¡°Even though I have a man, I need to experience the life of a single person.¡± ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Yisheng looked at the ceiling and rolled her eyes. It was such a trivial matter, but she made it sound so painful. She was truly overreacting. However, Zhao Jixiang did not think that way. She had originally planned everything out, watch a movie, got to a bar, kiss, and if she was brave and fierce enough, she would offer herself up. She had already made all the plans, but in the end, she was met with a complete failure. Without the male lead, what was the use of her plans? Zhao Jixiang held the two movie tickets she had queued for a few hours for, feeling very unhappy, ¡°Yisheng, watch a movie with me, it¡¯s my treat.¡± ¡°Ah? Two girls watching a movie together on Qixi Festival?¡± Why did she find it so strange? ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll wait for you at the movie theatre at People¡¯s Square.¡± ¡°Erm.¡± ¡­ Yisheng found it strange. It was Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day. Why were the two of them watching a movie together? When she met up with Zhao Jixiang, she was very shocked. Zhao Jixiang had dressed up very carefully today. She had on foundation, eye shadow, lipstick, and was wearing a sexy red dress. It was obvious that she had put in much effort for today. Compared to her, Yisheng was dressed too simply, a white cotton T-shirt and faded jeans. Zhao Jixiang affectionately held Yisheng¡¯s arm and said sweetly, ¡°Come one, let¡¯s go to the cinema together.¡± Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang strangely, ¡°You seem very happy.¡± ¡°Whether I¡¯m happy or not, it¡¯s still a day, so why shouldn¡¯t I be happy every day?¡± After she said that, they entered the movie theatre together. Obviously, it was a big mistake for them to watch a movie today. When they saw all the couples enter the movie theatre together, the two of them seemed very out of place. When the two of them sat down, Zhao Jixiang was unhappy again. She watched the couples that were acting lovey-dovey in the other seats and said, full of envy, ¡°They¡¯re seriously too much.¡± Yisheng, who was eating popcorn and waiting for the movie to begin was shocked by Zhao Jixiang¡¯s sudden outburst. Her hand trembled and she dropped the popcorn in her hand. She turned her head and gazed at Zhao Jixiang, who was pursing her lips. ¡°Next year, I¡¯ll buy all the odd number seats in all the movie theatres in B City, to make sure no one can sit in a pair!¡± After that, Zhao Jixiang grabbed the popcorn that Yisheng was holding in her hand and stuffed it in her mouth to munch on. Look, the person who is unable to eat the grapes does not say that the grapes are sour, instead, she wants to directly destroy the grape seeds so that no one can eat the grapes ever again. CH 17.2 Translated by: Cherry The movie had just started when Zhao Jixiang¡¯s phone started to ring. Zhao Jixiang angrily answered the call, ¡°Why are you calling me? Aren¡¯t you very busy?¡± Yisheng did not know what the person on the other end of the call said but Zhao Jixiang¡¯s expression warmed up slightly, ¡°I¡¯m in the movie theatre at People¡¯s Square with Yisheng.¡± Zhao Jixiang then said, ¡°There was no one to keep me company, so I called Yisheng,¡± She paused. When the person on the other end of the call finished speaking, she then said, ¡°Alright, since you said that, I¡¯ll go to your school right now.¡± Zhao Jixiang hung up the phone and pulled on Yisheng, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to Medical University A now.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng stumbled as she was pulled forward. She used some strength and forced Zhao Jixiang to stop. Then, Yisheng asked, ¡°Why are we going to Medical University A?¡± ¡°Xiao Zhuozi said that we can meet at the magpie bridge at Medical University A. He¡¯s almost done with writing his essay.¡± (T/N: A reference to Qixi Festival, there¡¯s a page on this, but the specific reference to the magpie bridge is because the couple (the weaver girl and the cowherd) are only allowed to meet once a year using a bridge of magpie.) ¡°The two of you can meet at the magpie bridge. What does this have to do with me? I don¡¯t want to be the third wheel,¡± She instantly wanted to roll her eyes and Zhao Jixiang. However, she did not expect Zhao Jixiang to say, ¡°Your beloved childhood sweetheart is also at Medical University A. He specially instructed me to bring you over.¡± Ever since the ¡®report¡¯ that night, Yisheng had not seen Song Anchen, and her questions had yet to be answered. She had thought that Song Anchen knew that she had found out about that matter and did not dare to meet her. She thought he was purposely avoiding her, but it turned out that Song Anchen had gone back to school to write his essay. Why did she suddenly feel like she was so paranoid? It would be good for her to visit Medical University A. That was the place she had always dreamed of. Medical University A was the largest professional university in B City. When Yisheng walked into the university that had been her dream university since she was young, suddenly, her heart felt heavy. Along the riverside and under the willow trees, a few couples walked by one by one, some couples were sitting on the benches and leaning against each other, or strolling by under the trees. In the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a romantic feeling of growing old together. Many people said that Medial University A¡¯s environment was very suitable for love. If one went to Medical University A and did not date once, it was a waste. What they said was true, it was very romantic. Zhao Jixiang saw that Yisheng had slowed down to look at all the famous dating spots in Medical University A and could not help but smile and say, ¡°In the past, when Xiao Zhuozi and I were dating, we often came here. In this sort of environment, one could not resist doing bad things. My first kiss was given to him here.¡± ¡°Oh, I thought you were about to say that you slept with him for the first time here,¡± Yisheng covered her mouth and teased her. Zhao Jixiang glanced at her, ¡°That sort of thing requires the correct time, place, and person. We broke up after dating for a year, there was no time for such things.¡± Based on what she said, Zhao Jixiang had really intended on doing it? Yisheng was shocked. Zhao Jixiang led her to the library. Medical University A¡¯s library had six floors and was circular. The two of them entered through the south gate and found them doing notes on the fourth floor. This was a four-person table, and the table was covered in books. Song Anchen was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses that students used. With the glasses placed on the bridge of his handsome nose, with his white skin, he looked like a youthful and ignorant teenager. He and Xiao Zhuozi were sitting on different sides of the table, and they looked very serious. The two of them did not even notice Yisheng and Zhao Jixiang¡¯s arrival. Zhao Jixiang sat down next to Xiao Zhuozi and lowered her normally loud voice, holding onto his arm as she said, ¡°Sweetheart, how long more will it take?¡± Her sudden appearance caused the two men who had originally been focused on their work to be shocked. Xiao Zhuozi¡¯s whole body trembled, and Song Anchen put down his pen to look. Xiao Zhuozi said, ¡°I¡¯m not as efficient as Song Anchen. He¡¯s finished it already, but I haven¡¯t. He¡¯s helping me look for materials now.¡± Yisheng looked at Song Anchen and saw him smiling as he looked at her. It was a very light smile, but it caused Yisheng to feel very uneasy. When she thought about the report, she felt especially uncomfortable. ¡°Yisheng, don¡¯t stand there, sit,¡± Zhao Jixiang saw that Yisheng was still standing there dumbly and hurriedly called Yisheng to sit down in the seat opposite her and next to Song Anchen. It was the only empty seat on the table. Yisheng hesitated for a moment but sat down by his side. Now that she was closer to Song Anchen, she felt even more uncomfortable. She randomly took a book and flipped through it. She happened to flip to the chapter on the female physiological make-up. She just glanced at it, but Song Anchen said in a soft voice, ¡°If you don¡¯t understand this, you can ask me.¡± She instantly stopped flipping the page and glanced at him. He looked knowledgeable, ¡°I got full marks for physiology.¡± Xiao Zhuozi chimed in, ¡°I think you got full marks for your obstetrics and gynecology class too.¡± ¡°If I recall correctly, Song Anchen got the national scholarship every year, right? He got first for every subject,¡± Zhao Jixiang added, slightly confused. Yisheng looked at Song Anchen¡¯s natural and seemingly harmless smile. She could not help but shudder, why did this non-human creature understand a female¡¯s body so well? She turned her face and asked Xiao Zhuozi, ¡°You must be very good at this too?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not as good as Anchen, haha,¡± When Xiao Zhuozi talked about himself, he was slightly embarrassed. Zhao Jixiang poked him, ¡°How can you compare to Song Anchen? He¡¯s the last student Professor Zhou taught.¡± ¡°Ah, Anchen, didn¡¯t Professor Zhou ask you to visit his office before seven?¡± Song Anchen stood up and removed his glasses, passing a copy of the information he was reading to Zhao Jixiang, ¡°Help Ah Yuan copy this out. I¡¯ll get going first.¡± (T/N: Ah Yuan here is referring to Xiao Zhuozi) ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Jixiang was dumbfounded. Yisheng was also confused. However, she did not expect Song Anchen to pull her with him. She followed behind and asked, ¡°What are you bringing me along for?¡± ¡°The two of them want to enjoy their alone time. Don¡¯t be a third wheel.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Yisheng nodded her head. ¡°But you have things to do. What should I do?¡± ¡°The solution is very simple. Come with me to meet my teacher.¡± ¡°Ah??¡± Yisheng was stunned. She did not know that Professor Zhou. What was she going to see him for? In what capacity? The two of them walked out of the library, and the more she thought about it, the more Yisheng found it strange. She wanted to pull her hand out of Song Anchen¡¯s grasp, but unexpectedly, he was holding her hand very tightly, and she could not pull her hand free. ¡°About that, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s good for me to go. How about I wait for you somewhere?¡± ¡°With your curiosity, you¡¯ll get lost,¡± Song Anchen stopped walking and turned around to look at her. ¡°I promise to stay at that spot.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± he raised his eyebrow. Obviously, he knew her too well. Her promises were often useless. ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t find me embarrassing, you can bring me along. If your professor sees that you have a friend like me, he¡¯ll definitely think that you have bad taste,¡± Her clothes right now were too shabby, and there was a big difference in class between her and Song Anchen. Instead of agreeing, Song Anchen hugged her, ¡°I¡¯m willing to.¡± Yisheng looked at his smooth brows and suddenly understood. While they were walking in Medical University A, she seemed to have become the focus of everyone, and a lot of people turned to look at her. Yisheng had felt troubled, were the two of them very special? Wasn¡¯t it just a male and a female walking together in school? Until she heard¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t that the top student, Song Anchen? Who¡¯s the woman next to him? They¡¯re even hugging?¡± ¡°Ah, Song Anchen, the cold prince that the previous school flower, Luo Luoshi had chased for N years? At that time, didn¡¯t he say he did not date?¡± (T/N: School flower here means the girl that people thought was the prettiest in school.) Yisheng was stunned. So Luo Luoshi was the school that had chased after Song Anchen until she graduated. She gritted her teeth. He had been having a secret affair with Luo Luoshi since a long time ago. She shook her arm, shaking Song Anchen¡¯s hand off. ¡°It¡¯ll be bad if Luo Luoshi saw this. After all, you and her¡­¡± ¡°Have a child together?¡± Song Anchen helped her say the words that she had a hard time saying. Yisheng¡¯s face paled and she did not rebut his words. ¡°You think too much,¡± Song Anchen wrapped his arms around his chest and said by her ear softly, ¡°I¡¯m a picky eater.¡± CH 18.1 The sunset colored the blue sky, and every inch was pale pink, showing the infinite brilliance of the setting sun. The students and staff at Medical University A slowly started to return home. The number of people on the road home slowly increased. On the way back, there was a very unique scenery, which was called ¡°The July Seventh Incident¡± by the gossipy people. Why did people call it that? Because the cold prince that everyone thought was gay had a mysterious woman by his side right now. The two of them were holding hands intimately, and they even hugged each other. They were in public, and they were showing their deep affection for each other? Song Anchen¡¯s leaned forward slightly, his hands crossed in front of his chest as he spoke next to Yisheng¡¯s ear. This action was normal to the two of them, but for people that were busy gossiping, it was truly shocking. The result of the July Seventh Incident was that the cold prince failed to find a gay man for a long time, so he was forced to turn straight. They tried to find out who the mysterious woman was and realized that she was not a student from Medical University A, and got even more confused. Naturally, this was something that happened later. At that moment, when Yisheng heard Song Anchen¡¯s response, she blinked, confused, ¡°What does this have to do with you being a picky-eater?¡± Song Anchen said, ¡°Normally if you¡¯ve eaten a meat and you¡¯ve gotten addicted to it, you¡¯ll be allergic to other meat.¡± For Yisheng, who liked to read girly novels, she understood what he was saying. Instantly, her face turned extremely red, and she coughed a few times, changing the topic, ¡°Stop dilly-dallying, let¡¯s go visit your teacher now.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s eyes narrowed, his dark eyes had his own unique aura. It was not breathtaking, but enough to make her feel frightened. Yisheng turned her head away, not looking at his eyes. She tidied up the hair in front of her forehead and looked away. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Song Anchen was not forceful at all, he understood her too well. She was a rabbit, a fluffy rabbit that would not bite people and instead, would pretend to be dead when she got anxious. He had to first appease her, and only after that would it be easier for him to make a move. Yisheng looked at Song Anchen, who had started walking off. She secretly poked out her tongue. She was very scared that he would bring up old matters. When she remembered how she had forced herself on her childhood sweetheart when she was young before running away and getting away with it. Right now, what she was most scared of was not Song Anchen himself, but him bringing up old matters. Professor Zhou was reading a book, standing in front of a desk, wearing a pair of reading glasses, his hair grey. He did not look very old, but he had a lot of features that made him seem older. This was Yisheng¡¯s first impression on meeting Professor Zhou. As soon as Song Anchen entered the room, Professor Zhou removed his reading glasses, blinking his bleary eyes. Professor Zhou raised his eyes tiredly to look at Song Anchen, ¡°Anchen, I¡¯ve helped you submit your academic paper for publishing. If nothing goes wrong, it should be accepted. The school has asked me recently if you¡¯re willing to be a teaching assistant in school?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t be a teaching assistant, it¡¯s quite good working in the hospital.¡± Professor Zhou expressed that he understood. He glanced at Yisheng, who was standing behind Song Anchen the whole time. His eyes had originally been slightly narrowed, but when he saw who had arrived, his eyes widened, very shocked, ¡°Ah, isn¡¯t this Anchen¡¯s girlfriend?¡± After he said that, he smiled as he walked towards Yisheng, looking at her up and down before he smiled kindly, ¡°You¡¯re a lot prettier than in the photos.¡± Yisheng was quite surprised and looked at Song Anchen, puzzled. She saw Song Anchen smile and say to Professor Zhou, ¡°We don¡¯t have work today.¡± Professor Zhou nodded and told Yisheng, ¡°You¡¯re called Ye Yisheng, right?¡± Professor Zhou continued to smile and look at her. Yisheng was a little stunned, Professor Zhou was acting so familiar with her that she felt confused, and could only nod her head hesitantly. ¡°I¡¯ve known you for five years now. I¡¯ve always known that Anchen has a girlfriend, but that child said that you¡¯re studying elsewhere and can¡¯t come. I think the truth is that he couldn¡¯t bear to let me see you,¡± He smiled heartily and turned his head back to look at Song Anchen, ¡°You can finally bear to let me see your darling?¡± ¡°The ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws someday. Of course I have to let my teacher take a look,¡± When he lied, Song Anchen¡¯s expression never changed. In fact, he did not even twitch an eyelid, with a smile in his eyes, looking harmless. The corner of Yisheng¡¯s mouth twitched. She felt a little uncomfortable like she was having indigestion. Professor Zhou nodded his head in understanding, and begun to discuss some academic problems with Song Anchen. Song Anchen sat down and glanced at Yisheng, who was standing at the side and looking at him. He smiled and said, ¡°You can sit on the sofa and read the newspaper for a while, be good.¡± (T/N: ¡®be good¡¯ sounds super weird, but I guess it¡¯s kinda like a cute thing in Chinese¡­? It¡¯s hard to convey this in English¡­ D: ) When the words ¡®be good¡¯ left his mouth, his thin lips curved up, his tone was soft, when an outsider heard those words, there would be a slightly numb feeling. For Yisheng, those words were like 100,000 volts, directly burning her. ¡°Aiya, Anchen, I know that you can¡¯t bear to leave your girlfriend alone, I won¡¯t hold you back for too long,¡± Professor Zhou pretended to be jealous, his tone sour. ¡°I can¡¯t help it, I¡¯m already used to it,¡± Song Anchen smiled naturally. He made it seem like it had really become a habit for him. Yisheng could not stand it anymore. She had never realized that Song Anchen had such a shameless side to him. To give him face, she decided to stay silent. She sat on the sofa and started to hold up the newspaper, glancing at it. However, she was distracted and could not absorb what she was reading. She secretly raised her gaze to glance towards Song Anchen and saw that he was listening to his teacher seriously and meticulously. That seriousness made Yisheng recall Song Anchen¡¯s habit from when he was young. He was the kind of person that would not do something if he was not interested in it, but when he was interested in something, he would become the best. In the past, her mother would keep scolding her about spending too much time resting and lacking perseverance. Unlike Song Anchen, who was very resilient, and would keep on doing things that he wanted to do. Yisheng felt that if you thought about it positively, you could say that he was persistent, but if you wanted to describe this negatively, you would say that he was inflexible. She did not want to be like him. She lifted her head and gave him a despising glance. However, she happened to meet his occasionally raised eyes. He gave her a brilliant smile. Yisheng could guarantee that his smile was definitely not friendly. ¡°Cough cough,¡± When Professor Zhou saw the two of them giving each other ¡®romantic glances¡¯, he coughed to remind them of his presence. Yisheng instantly retracted back till she was hidden behind the newspaper, wondering why Song Anchen would smile so brilliantly at her for no reason. She tried her best to glance at the newspaper in her hand but she had no interest in it. It was full of medical terms, and she had memorized many of them in university, so when she looked at them, she felt nauseous. She had no choice but to rest her cheek on her hand and look at the two scholars discussing their academic papers, her expression bored. She felt more and more bored, and in the end, she fell asleep¡­ CH 18.2 When she woke up again, she realized that she was lying on a strong back. She could occasionally smell the fresh fragrance of a shower gel that occasionally left a fragrance. The fragrance was hard to detect, and it was very intoxicating. Yisheng opened her eyes and saw the back of Song Anchen¡¯s head! She pursed her lips, not daring to move. She was getting a piggyback ride from Song Anchen, the two of them were walking towards the school gate. Under the milky moonlight, the few students that were strolling about in school seemed to be just shadows. She suddenly felt that in such a large school, only the two of them were close together, walking slowly into the silence of the night. Yisheng leaned on Song Anchen¡¯s back and felt warmth from the bottom of his heart. She really wanted to continue walking like this, walking towards the castle that belonged to the two of them, living a happy life of a princess and a prince. However, it was a pity, she was not a princess, and the prince would not belong to her. She was just a cheap Santana and could not afford a Bentley driver. She sighed softly. Her sigh was very soft, but Song Anchen heard it. Song Anchen¡¯s gaze was especially shiny in the white moonlight, it was even clearer than any star in the sky. He was the kind of person that, when he decided he wanted something, he would persevere to get it. No matter whether he had to fight for it, or if he had to steal it, even if he was covered in wounds, he would never think of giving up. As long as it was something he decided on. *** Song Anchen piggy-backed her to the school parking lots and stood by his car. In the empty parking lot, he spoke in an especially loud voice, ¡°Wake up.¡± Yisheng could no longer pretend to sleep and opened her eyes suddenly, ¡°I¡¯m up.¡± Song Anchen put her down and smiled slightly, ¡°Did you have a good sleep?¡± ¡°So-so, I¡¯m feeling weak all over, and my stomach feels bad,¡± Yisheng stretched, her expression full of tiredness. ¡°Is your period coming?¡± Song Anchen took out his car key and pressed it, saying casually. Yisheng blinked and was stunned for a few seconds, her face turned red quickly. This pervert, how did he know? She could not help but touch her butt, there was no blood. Song Anchen chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t forget, I got full marks for my Obstetrics and Gynaecology.¡± Yisheng¡¯s mouth twitched and directly rolled her eyes at him. This pervert understood women better than women. It was too scary. Song Anchen drove Yisheng back to his neighbourhood, this time, he did not find a bad excuse to go up with her. After he sent Yisheng to her block, he started to leave. Yisheng watched him leave, suddenly feeling a little disappointed. After she returned home, she realized that it was already close to midnight, and her stomach started to feel hungry. What was going on! Yisheng could only boil water to cook instant noodles. She carried the bowl of noodles and sat down on the living room sofa to slurp up the noodles. She took mouthful after mouthful, and suddenly felt a flowing feeling below. She was surprised. Song Anchen had jinxed her. As soon as he mentioned this, her period instantly came. Her period had come at midnight. She hurriedly stood up and ran to the washroom. Something even sadder happened. She was out of Whisper. She wanted to cry, so she could only put on another pad for the moment and randomly grab some money from the table before running out to buy what she needed. (T/N: The brand of pads called Whisper) The supermarket in her neighborhood was not open 24 hours a day. When she stood at the entrance of her supermarket, she wanted to scream. She glanced at the already empty place, and could not help but feel sad. If she did not have Whisper tonight, she would have a hard time sleeping. She gritted her teeth, the sheets could not be stained! She rushed out of the neighborhood and went to the supermarket in the neighborhood nearby to buy. The supermarket in Ling Tian was open 24 hours a day. Not only that, the supermarket was especially bright and spacious. It was like a large comprehensive supermarket. When she went in, she realised that she was right, this was indeed a very large and comprehensive supermarket. She just wanted to buy her Whisper but had a hard time finding it. She only found the female products section after a long time. When she looked at the long row of ¡®large band-aids¡¯, she did not see her Whisper. Not only that, the prices on the shelf were all two figures and above. She opened her hand and looked at the ten RMB in her hand, feeling like crying. Sadly, the cheapest one here was 10.80 RMB and what she had was not enough. Her Whisper was at most 5.80RMB, and she had been using that all this while, so she had already gotten used to the price, so she had not thought much about it when she went out. She began to fret. If she had to go back home and come back with money, it was practically asking her to die. She walked around in circles, trying to find something that was cheaper than 10 RMB. In the end, she gave up. There was no product cheaper than 10 RMB. Just as she was about to look up at the sky and bemoan her fate, she saw Song Anchen at the frozen foods section? She shivered. Should she ask for help from him? She paced back and forth and went through an intense argument with herself in her head. She was about to just go for it when she saw Song Anchen, who was pushing his shopping cart, standing nearby, giving her an ambiguous smile. Just as she was looking up at the sky, she saw song an Chen in the distant frozen area? She shivered. When she met him at such a time, did she want to ask for help? She paced back and forth, had a strong ideological struggle, just want to give up, but saw song an Chen pushing the shopping cart has stood not far away, toward her ambiguous smile. ¡°Are you hesitating because you don¡¯t know which brand to buy?¡± Yisheng glanced at him and ignored him. He chuckled, ¡°Please continue,¡± After he said that, he turned his shopping cart around and left. Yisheng saw that he wanted to leave, and was anxious, but did not dare to run over. While she was hesitating, Song Anchen suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around to tell her softly, ¡°Cook some brown sugar water to drink when you get home.¡± Yisheng decided to just go for it. She took three steps forward, and threw the ¡®large band-aid¡¯ into his shopping cart, then looked away, ¡°Ah, this supermarket has so many things, I¡¯ll accompany you while you shop.¡± Song Anchen looked at the eye-catching thing in the shopping cart, and suddenly, a mischievous light appeared in his eyes, ¡°I suggest that you use cotton pads, netting is not as healthy as cotton.¡± Yisheng opened her mouth, then smiled stiffly, ¡°Little Brother Song, can you not be so professional?¡± Song Anchen ignored her and unabashedly walked to the section selling pads, putting back the pads that she had originally thrown in his shopping cart, then proceeded to help her pick a few and throw them in the shopping cart. After that, he calmly walked out. This sort of skillful and natural shopping posture made Yisheng speechless. Even though she was a woman, she also felt embarrassed when buying such things. Although he was a man, he was not embarrassed at all? Weirdo! Yisheng scolded him behind his back. ¡°What are you standing there in a daze for? Didn¡¯t you say you¡¯ll accompany me to shop?¡± Song Anchen turned around, looking like a king. ¡°Oh!¡± Yisheng followed him. She had to admit that Song Anchen had the potential to be a homely man. He did not buy frozen food and knew how to pick fresh meat and vegetables. He even knew which daily necessities are the most practical. What he bought on his shopping trip this time was everything necessary. He was unlike Yisheng, who would buy a bunch of random snacks or frozen food everytime she went grocery shopping. Of course, Song Anchen had his ways of keeping healthy. When they were paying for the groceries, Song Anchen told the cashier, ¡°Pack these separately.¡± The things he was referring to were Yisheng¡¯s ¡®large band-aids¡¯. The cashier glanced at Yisheng and Song Anchen but did not imply anything with his expression. However, Yisheng felt embarrassed, and accepted the bag that the cashier handed to her, her little face red. When they walked out of the supermarket, Song Anchen said, ¡°Bring your wallet the next time you leave your house.¡± So he knew about her awkward situation. She laughed dryly twice and her voice weakened, ¡°I thought that these things wouldn¡¯t be so expensive.¡± ¡°This supermarket was specially set up for the residents of the Ling Tian Estate, so the things in it are a little expensive,¡± Song Anchen glanced at the dress on Yisheng¡¯s body and her empty hands, frowning, ¡°Did you not bring your keys?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Yisheng blinked and thought about it for a moment. Then, she instantly widened her eyes and wailed, ¡°I¡¯m finished. I left my keys in my bag and forgot to take them out.¡± Was she going to end up out on the streets tonight? She looked at the dark streets and felt her vision darken for a moment. She really wanted to faint, but could not and could only look pitifully at Song Anchen, ¡°Lend me your phone, I¡¯ll contact my landlord.¡± ¡°Does your landlord stay nearby?¡± ¡°No, I think my landlord stays on the West side of B City.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mouth twitched, ¡°This is the East District of B City. Look at what time it is now, do you think it¡¯ll be possible?¡± ¡°What should I do then? I¡¯m penniless and I don¡¯t have a phone with me. Do you want me to sleep on the street?¡± Yisheng wanted to faint right now. Song Anchen pondered for a while, ¡°Stay over at my house tonight.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng took a step back and looked at him in shock. ¡°You¡¯re wearing a large band-aid, what do you think I¡¯ll do to you?¡± Song Anchen suddenly smiled and looked at Yisheng. That seemed to be true. Yisheng hesitated for a moment and looked at Song Anchen who was next to her. What was she scared of! It was not like they have never slept together before, and she had her period today, so there was completely no reason for her to be scared. She puffed out her chest, looking brave, ¡°Alright.¡± Song Anchen smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing like a fox. CH 19.1 The Ling Tian estate had two different kinds of buildings. Buildings A-C were duplex apartments, D-E were low-rise apartments, and F were high-rise apartments. The young second-generation rich would normally choose the fashionable duplex apartments, and Song Anchen stayed in Building A. It was the first time Yisheng had visited Song Anchen¡¯s new house. The color scheme inside was simple, it was mainly with milky white and forest green as the main colors. As soon as one entered the house, it was a spacious hall. The beige sofa had a cross-stitch pillow on it? Yisheng¡¯s eyelid twitched, he did this sort of thing? Song Anchen saw her twitch and calmly said, ¡°It¡¯s from a friend.¡± It must be a girl who gave him that. Yisheng glanced at him, holding her feminine products in her hand, coughing lightly, ¡°I want to go to the washroom.¡± The side of Song Anchen¡¯s face turned towards the direction of the black walnut door, ¡°There.¡± Yisheng nodded her head, running in. She instantly locked the door from the inside and breathed out slowly. She gazed at the bathroom, made up of white porcelain, a golden lamp hanging above her head. Under the yellow light, the face that was reflected in the mirror was a little red. Aiya, it must be because she¡¯s bleeding, so her blood was especially active. Although she explained it like that, she clearly understood that normally, at this time of the month, her face would be pale as if she were sick. When had she ever looked so flushed? After she slowly finished settling her matters, she left the washroom. Song Anchen carried over a cup of brown sugar water and passed it to her, ¡°Drink it.¡± Yisheng took it and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Song Anchen squinted slightly, ¡°After you¡¯re done drinking it, go and take a shower. Don¡¯t take a bath, take a shower.¡± He was really professional. He treated a woman¡¯s menstruation as a big matter. Yisheng felt that she was inferior compared to him. Although she knew about such taboos, she often could not be bothered to care about them. ¡°Where should I sleep?¡± Yisheng looked around. Although this house was very big, she did not know where the guestroom was. ¡°Depends on your performance,¡± Song Anchen crossed his arms and looked at her, his gaze twinkling like crystal clear glass. If she fell too deep, it would instantly shatter and cut her all over. Yisheng did not dare to keep looking at his eyes and did not try to understand what his words meant. Instead, she rushed to the bathroom. She adjusted the water temperature until it was suitable. Then, she removed her clothes, wanting to take a shower and clean herself up. Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the door. She was shocked and instinctively covered her chest and clamped her legs together, asking in panic, ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± ¡°Who else can it be besides for me?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s voice sounded from the other side of the door. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver your pajamas,¡± The man outside the door expressed his helplessness. ¡°I¡­I¡¯m already naked,¡± Yisheng was anxious to express her nervousness, but she did not realize that her words had a certain sense of temptations. There was a long silence outside the door before Song Anchen finally said, ¡°I¡¯ll place the pajamas outside.¡± There was no more movement after that. Yisheng was wondering if there was anything else important. However, after waiting for a long time, there were no more sounds. She relaxed slightly and started to her shower again. When she was done drying her body, she used a towel to wrap around herself, carefully opening the door slightly. She reached out an arm and felt for the clothes outside the door. When she touched the soft fabric, she grabbed it and brought the clothes in. After she spread out the clothes to take a look, she could not help but stare in shock. The pajamas were quite sexy and felt very good when she touched them. She could not help but take a look at the brand of these interesting pajamas, her hands could not help but tremble. LaPerla! Yisheng was not unfamiliar with this brand as she liked to read fashion magazines. Pajamas that made people get nosebleeds, prices that made people have high blood pressure. It was an Italian underwear brand and was probably the most beautiful underwear brand in the world, but also the most expensive. Why did Song Anchen have women¡¯s underwear in his house, and it was even a high-class brand? This was obviously a question worth thinking about. Yisheng started to have random thoughts again, could it be that Song Anchen was hiding a woman somewhere? When she wore this ¡®show-off¡¯ La Perla pajamas and came out, Song Anchen was still leaning against the wall opposite the bathroom door, his arms wrapped around his chest as he looked at her. There was a smile in his eyes, and a little satisfaction that was hard to detect. It was the first time Yisheng was wearing bathrobe-style pajamas. She tied the ribbon with a troubled look, walking out and complaining, ¡°The material of these clothes is too smooth.¡± Song Anchen walked to her side, he was very close to her and he lightly moved her hand to the side, helping her tie the ribbon. His dexterous and slender fingers were on the ribbon. He made a loop and skillfully helped her tie a knot. Song Anchen gently leaned against her ear and sniffed slightly. He said, full of appreciation and temptation, ¡°Mm, very fragrant.¡± He let out a breath of hot air by her ear, causing her whole body to tremble and she instinctively took a step back. However, her entire right ear and face had already turned as red as cooked prawn. Song Anchen carefully observed her slight changes, smiling as he looked at her. Yisheng did not dare to look at him, feeling like there was the look of a hunter in his eyes. Yisheng felt like she was a prey that had landed in his trap. ¡°I¡¯m tired, I want to sleep,¡± Yisheng said. Song Anchen smiled and said, ¡°Follow me.¡± Why did she feel that those two words were so strange? She felt very flustered but also felt a little relieved. She was not scared of him wanting to sleep with her suddenly. She had her period now, which man would dare to touch her? As she thought that, she followed him, feeling at ease. CH 19.2 Translated by: Cherry The two of them went upstairs, but what Yisheng had not expected was that the whole penthouse was expanded into an open-style bedroom with a bathroom. Wasn¡¯t it a bit of a waste to have such a large and empty bedroom? The furniture inside were all beige-colored. The bedding were all white, and it caused people to feel that the whole place was too clean!! It was one thing for him to like such an easily-dirtied color, but the fact that the furnishings were so clean and tidy made it hard for her to accept. She had always thought that guys would have piles of smelly socks, and would have sloppy messes on the table. She hesitated, unable to move. Song Anchen turned his head back to look at her, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yisheng raised her head to look at him pitifully, ¡°Are we sleeping together?¡± This was a question, but what she meant was, there was only one bedroom and one bed, this was obviously his bedroom. If he brought her here to sleep, were they meant to sleep together? It was definitely a question, and everyone who had good judgment would agree that it was a question. However, Song Anchen seemed to take this question as a rhetorical one. He slightly frowned, and thought seriously, as if he had made a big decision, ¡°Can you promise that you won¡¯t jump me?¡± ¡°Cough cough,¡± Yisheng choked on her saliva, getting angry. His words made her seem like an extremely perverted woman. That time in the past was only because she was drunk and she was not sober. This time, she was sober. She had completely forgotten the reason why she had asked the question just now, and started to focus on this sentence, ¡°I¡¯m not that kind of person, anyway, I¡¯m having my period now, so I can¡¯t jump you.¡± ¡°Well, then we can sleep together,¡± Song Anchen smiled, his squinted eyes were extremely enchanting, but his tone was especially annoying. Yisheng was immediately stunned into silence. Why did his words make it sound like she was asking him to let her sleep with him? She immediately jumped three feet away, ¡°I¡¯ll just sleep on the floor.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t,¡± Song Anchen smiled innocently, ¡°Your period came, you¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t, this sofa is made of buffalo leather, it¡¯s cooling and it isn¡¯t good for your body.¡± (T/N: This is a little hard to explain, but there¡¯s a term in Chinese medicine, you can search it up, ¡®heatiness¡¯. There¡¯s this concept where things can be heaty or cooling, when you¡¯re on your period, you shouldn¡¯t eat/do things that make you more ¡®cool¡¯. That sort of thing.) Yisheng moved her mouth. She could not think of any other possible places for her to sleep in at the moment, so she could only raise her gaze, ¡°Then how about you suffer a little and sleep on the floor or the sofa?¡± ¡°Since I promised to sleep with you, naturally, I won¡¯t go back on my word,¡± After he said that, he grabbed her hand and led her to the bedside, making her sit down on the bed, ¡°You can lie down and sleep first, I¡¯ll go take a shower.¡± After he said that, he walked to the bathroom that was at the side of the room. Yisheng sat on the bed, stunned, breathing anxiously a few times. Why was her heart beating so fast? She tried her best to calm down, her ears were filled with the sound of water which caused her to feel even more anxious. She was like an imperial concubine that had waited for a long time for the emperor to visit her, and now, he was finally visiting her. However, the imperial concubine would be happy in this situation, but she was feeling scared. She was scared that she could not control herself! Although she was not a pervert, she always felt an itchy feeling in her heart when it came to Song Anchen. When faced with such a devastatingly handsome, clean, and youthful face, with a pair of dazed but charming eyes, she always felt the urge to keep him somewhere. She was still a little confused as to whether she had been acting out because she was drunk, or if it was instinct when she slept with him that time. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She directly burrowed into the blankets, covering herself with the blanket and trying not to think about it. There was a faint fragrance, and it had the same scent as Song Anchen himself, causing her to feel even more worked up. She shook her head, continuously telling herself, stay calm, stay calm, go to sleep. While she was muttering to herself, Song Anchen walked out of the bathroom. His wet hair was still dripping water and was dripping from his forehead to his collarbones and downwards, wetting his pajamas. He was wearing same kind of bathrobe-style pajamas as Yisheng, the ribbon at his waist was loosened, as if it would open up anytime to expose him. Yisheng narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the view of a pretty man who had just come out of the bathroom. She swallowed her saliva and continued to mutter to herself, stay calm, stay calm, go to sleep. When Song Anchen sat on the bed and wiped his hair, he casually glanced at Yisheng, happening to catch her sneaking a look at him. Yisheng smiled awkwardly, looking a little silly. Song Anchen¡¯s good-looking mouth had a beautiful curve, ¡°Couple pajamas.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng did not know how to respond. She just watched as Song Anchen put down his towel and got into bed. Yisheng moved a little, keeping a large distance between them. Song Anchen did not move. Suddenly, he moved his hand, leaning on it and turning to his side to look at Yisheng, who had hidden in the blankets. ¡°What are you looking at me for? Aren¡¯t you sleepy? You have work tomorrow,¡± Yisheng could not help but move a little further. ¡°The designer who designed this ¡®show-off¡¯ collection said that this set was very suitable for a young couple.¡± Yisheng looked at Song Anchen, whose expression was hard to read, ¡°Why?¡± Song Anchen reached out his hand, but before he touched her, she moved further. Song Anchen smiled and said, ¡°Move a little further.¡± She listened to him and moved a little further, but found that she was already on the end of the bed. She lost her balance for a moment and was about to fall off the bed. Song Anchen¡¯s long arms hooked her over, pulling her into his embrace. His expression was helpless as he smiled and said, ¡°So obedient.¡± Yisheng glared angrily, ¡°You did that on purpose.¡± ¡°Yep, I did it on purpose,¡± He lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, bending down to hug her. Yisheng was shocked by Song Anchen¡¯s sudden intimate actions, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I want to test out what the designer said,¡± One of his hands on her waist slowly slid towards her bare collarbone. Yisheng could not help but tremble, her brain was so muddled that she was unable to move and could only ask, ¡°What did the designer say?¡± ¡°He said that all you need to do is pull the ribbon, and this outfit will completely slide off,¡± His fingers directly slid to her waist and she breathed out, preparing to reject him harshly when she was forcefully kissed by him. His long fingers lightly pressed on the ribbon and lightly pulled. Her clothes quickly slid down from her shoulders. CH 20.1 The bright moonlight shone through the transparent glass and hit the ground, shattering into a million pieces and causing the ground to be covered in silver light. In this harmonious light, one could vaguely see the two people cuddled together on the bed. Yisheng held onto her pajamas that were slipping down tightly, her cleavage was already showing. She closed her eyes slightly and accepted Song Anchen¡¯s forceful kiss. She gave a slight hum, her reddened face filled with shyness. Song Anchen gently caressed her body, his dexterous hand moving about her body. He did not pull off her pajamas that were in danger of falling off. Instead, he lightly touched the parks of Yisheng¡¯s body that were exposed. He knew which parts were very sensitive for women, and every time he touched her, Yisheng would tremble. Song Anchen pecked Yisheng¡¯s small mouth before letting her go in satisfaction. He even very thoughtfully raised up his hand and helped Yisheng put on the part of Yisheng¡¯s outfit that had already fallen almost all the way down. When her clothes were finally returned to how it was before, Yisheng had wanted to push him away and jump off the bed, getting as far away as possible from this sly animal. However, he reached out and grabbed her back, trapping her in his embrace again. Then, he squinted, his smile innocent, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I could not hold myself back.¡± Yisheng glared angrily. She was angry, but not at Song Anchen. She was angry at herself. Why was she so weak? As soon as she was provoked by him, she completely lost herself. She had no ability to resist him, and even wanted more? Song Anchen pulled her into his embrace lightly. On this bright and cool night, he had a strange feeling from deep within his heart. The person in his embrace was the person who had often made him lose sleep for the past few years. ¡°Yisheng, I miss you so much,¡± Song Anchen said in a low voice as he buried his head in her neck, murmuring the words that he had always wanted to say. Yisheng, who was distracted and thinking about random things did not hear, and asked, ¡°What did you just say?¡± Song Anchen smiled bitterly, his slightly sad eyes instantly becoming mischievous, ¡°Nothing much, I just really want to eat you up.¡± Her face turned red and she pushed him away, rejecting him. However, Song Anchen kept hugging her stubbornly, a little tired, ¡°Be good, let me hug you, let me have a proper sleep for one night,¡± His voice became weaker and weaker, and it had the sort of feeling of being too tired. Yisheng no longer moved about, staying properly in Song Anchen¡¯s embrace, in a daze. The two of them lay in bed, not moving. Suddenly, it became so quiet in the large house that one could even hear the sound of their breathing. Even a slight movement from Yisheng caused the hand on her waist to tighten, he was very alert. She pursed her lips, all she wanted was to change her posture. It was not like she was going to escape. She positioned herself properly, closing her eyes. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. Yisheng was the kind of person who would not wake up even if there was thunder. Only when Song Anchen heard a slight snore from his chest did his rigid body finally relax. He loosened the arm he used to restrict her movements, his bright starry eyes were like the milky way, shining with all kinds of lights. But the light from his eyes only shone on one person¡¯s face, full of gentleness, full of obsession that a man felt when looking at his woman. *** She woke up, scared awake by the sudden feeling of something flowing. She sat up, opening her eyes and looking at the wide bedroom. Song Anchen was no longer next to her. She was stunned and looked at the clock on the bedside table. The hour hand was just pointing at six. It was so early? Yisheng had originally wanted to continue lying down and take a nap. However, she felt that something was wrong. The flow just now, was there too much blood? Her face became pale, and she moved aside the white sheets and took a look. After that, she stiffened and her lips turned pale. On the very clean sheets, there was a bit of red! This bit of red was too obvious. She instantly jumped off the bed. Suddenly, she felt like the world was ending. She had ruined such a good set of sheets. She rushed downstairs and saw Song Anchen leaning on the stove, his eyes staring at the microwave that was being used. There was a ¡®ding¡¯, and he stood up to take out the item in the microwave. It turned out that he was heating up milk. He carried the milk and saw Yisheng, who was standing there dumbly. He could not help but smile and say, ¡°You woke up so early?¡± ¡°You¡¯re up very early as well,¡± Yisheng pursed her lips, feeling a little too embarrassed to tell him about how she had stained his snow-white bedsheets red. Song Anchen carried the milk to the dining table. Breakfast was already laid out, and it was the classic Western breakfast, bread, milk, cheese, and fried eggs. ¡°Come over and eat. We have to go to work later.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng walked over and sat down. The two of them started to eat at the same time. This breakfast was eaten in complete silence. Yisheng wanted to open her mouth a few times, but kept getting stopped by Song Anchen¡¯s expressionless face and was unable to bring herself to speak. After they finished eating their breakfast with much difficulty and Song Anchen stood up to clear the table, Yisheng had to pick up her courage to tell Song Anchen, ¡°The bedsheets are red.¡± Song Anchen stopped moving for a moment, then tilted his head to look at her. She gritted her teeth, her face already completely red, ¡°I moved about too much in my sleep and accidentally caused the bedsheets to be stained red.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Song Anchen replied mildly, then turned around to wash the bowls. Yisheng was surprised by his unflustered reaction. This man seemed to not mind such awkward matters at all. Could it have been due to his training as a doctor? Song Anchen finished washing his bowl and walked to the living room to pick up his phone and call a number, ¡°Hello, is this Bai Wu Dry Cleaner? Please come to 502, Building A, Unit 1, I have clothes to wash,¡± Song Anchen hung up the phone and walked towards Yisheng, pulling her to his side and turning her around in a circle. He smiled slightly, ¡°Fortunately, you didn¡¯t stain your pajamas.¡± ¡°Whose pajamas are these?¡± Yisheng asked in a small voice. ¡°Yours.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng was stunned, finding it slightly unbelievable. Song Anchen ignored how shocked she was and raised his hand to look at his watch. ¡°You can go tidy up first, we have to go to work.¡± Yisheng nodded her head and went to the washroom to tidy up. Song Anchen looked at Yisheng¡¯s back, his lips curved with an intriguing smile. CH 20.2 Translated by: Cherry T/N: As promised we¡¯re doing a full chapter a week again!! Yisheng took a while to tidy up. When she came out, she saw Song Anchen sitting in the living room and reading a book. When he noticed Yisheng coming out, he stood up and smiled, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the staff to come before we leave?¡± ¡°Hm?¡± What staff? Song Anchen smiled in response. At that moment, the doorbell rang. He went to open the door. After waiting for a moment, a woman walked in. When she saw Yisheng, she was stunned and smiled, ¡°Mr. Song, what would you like to dry clean?¡± ¡°The bedsheets, there¡¯s some blood on it.¡± That woman was stunned, then she turned her gaze to Yisheng, looking around her in an ambiguous manner. Then, her gaze landed on the hickeys on Yisheng¡¯s neck and she understood. She chuckled, ¡°I¡¯ll go up and get the bedsheets now.¡± When she walked past Yisheng, she blinked at her. Yisheng found it a little strange and asked Song Anchen, ¡°You¡¯re very familiar with her?¡± ¡°I¡¯m a regular customer of Bai Wu Dry Cleaners.¡± That woman came back down, carrying the set of bedsheets and all the pillowcases, telling Song Anchen, ¡°Mr. Song, I¡¯ll contact you two days later for you to collect it.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Song Anchen smiled and replied. That woman looked at Yisheng again, a smile hidden in her gaze, before she left. From Yisheng¡¯s point of view, there was something very wrong with that woman¡¯s gaze, it had such an ambiguous feeling to it! Song Anchen looked at Yisheng¡¯s baffled appearance and could not help but place his hand on his forehead and laugh, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to work.¡± Yisheng followed behind him and went downstairs. Suddenly, Song Anchen stopped and Yisheng stopped as well. She looked at the back of his head in confusion. Song Anchen laughed lowly for no reason at all. Yisheng¡¯s eyelid twitched, ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Song Anchen turned his head to look at her, his gaze landing on the hickeys he had left last night. He reached out his hand and caressed them, but Yisheng avoided it. ¡°These things will give people a lot of ideas,¡± He winked mischievously and continued to head downstairs. Yisheng stayed at her original spot, touching the hickey on her neck that was not very light but not very obvious either, screaming in her head. This was something that anyone with good eyes would know was impure. Right now, she was basically stripping naked and letting people¡¯s imaginations run wild. She was about to go crazy. When they went downstairs, Song Anchen told Yisheng, ¡°Wait here, I¡¯ll go get the car.¡± Yisheng nodded her head, watching him leave. It was very boring for her to just wait for him. Yisheng took out her phone to kill time. When she saw her phone, she was stunned. There were three missed calls and four messages. One of the missed calls was from Zhao Jixiang. She also sent two messages. ¡°Yisheng, did you elope with Song Anchen?¡± ¡°Sh*t, Yisheng, you¡¯ve become a famous person in our school.¡± When Yisheng saw those two messages, she smiled. The remaining two phone calls and messages were from her senior. ¡°Can the cowherd and the weaver girl meet at the magpie bridge?¡± (T/N: Remember the name of the day? The story of the cowherd and the weaver girl~) ¡°Little junior, I¡¯m back in B City.¡± Yisheng looked at those two messages, her heart suddenly feeling heavy. She hurriedly called him back, the phone beeped for a long time before someone picked it up, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Senior, I¡¯m Yisheng.¡± ¡°Little junior sister? Where did you go yesterday?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± She could not say that she had stayed over at her childhood sweetheart¡¯s house for one night, right? She hesitated and thought about it before lying, ¡°When I went home yesterday, I slept very early, so I didn¡¯t hear the phone ring.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Yan Heng laughed, ¡°Where are you now? I¡¯ll pick you up and bring you to the hospital.¡± ¡°Ah, there¡¯s no need. I¡¯m at home now, I haven¡¯t gotten ready yet, you can go to the hospital first.¡± At that moment, Yan Heng had just driven his car out of the parking lots, driving towards the main entrance of the Ling Tian estate. He held his phone in his hand, a warm smile on his face, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs, I¡¯m not worried about being late.¡± He had just driven to the passageway when he saw a woman wearing a white dress blocking his way. He pressed on his car horn. When Yisheng heard the sound of a car honking, she turned her head to look over and stiffened. The person in the car and the person outside both held their phones and look at each other, stunned. Yisheng gritted her teeth, she rarely lied, but the one time she did, she was exposed in such a tragic manner. Yan Heng got off the car, walking up to her, forcing a smile, ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Yisheng¡¯s face was pale, and she smiled very awkwardly as she said, ¡°Senior.¡± ¡°Did you want to give me a surprise? Is that why you lied to me?¡± Yan Heng found an excuse for himself, but when his gaze landed on the hickey on Yisheng¡¯s neck, his back suddenly turned cold, and he felt his blood freeze. Suddenly, there was the sound of a car honking behind them. The two of them looked backward at the same time. They saw Song Anchen with one hand rested on the car window, the mocking expression in his bright eyes was hard to detect, but he said to Yisheng expressionlessly, ¡°Get on the car.¡± Yisheng suddenly felt a sense of suffocation. She did not dare to look at her senior. However, Yan Heng smiled and said, ¡°Go on.¡± Yisheng suddenly raised her gaze to look at Yan Heng. Yang Heng was his usual gentlemanly self, ¡°Isn¡¯t this what you¡¯ve wanted all along? Little junior sister?¡± His tone was very calm, but it made Yisheng feel uneasy. Yisheng was a little apologetic. She should not have lied to her senior. She lowered her head and nodded before she walked to Song Anchen¡¯s car, getting in. Song Anchen glanced at Yisheng coldly, but changed his expression completely and smiled gently at Yan Heng, ¡°Doctor Yan, see you in the hospital.¡± Yan Heng smiled lightly, watching as Song Anchen¡¯s car drove out of Ling Tian estate. His little junior was someone who truly deserved to have her spring, but she was always covered in layers of clothing, making her feel that she was very cold. And the only person who had the right to remove her clothes, from the past till now, was Song Anchen, the person she had loved in the past, and still loves now. CH 21.1 As soon as Yisheng reached the hospital, she heard a group of nurses talking about how the first batch of volunteers that had gone to the countryside had all returned to the hospital. The next name list would come out in two days and they were guessing who would have to suffer and go down to the poor countryside. If one went to the countryside, it was not just for one or two days, instead, it was for ten days to half a month. For these kids, who are used to staying in the city, none of them liked going to the countryside. Yisheng quietly sat at the side and listened to them gossip. Zhao Jixiang was the most enthusiastic in the discussion. She was always so spirited, and she never seemed to be tired. She said, ¡°In my opinion, now that the attending doctors have made the trip down, the next ones to go are the potential doctors in the various departments.¡± The others agreed with Zhao Jixiang¡¯s words. Jian Meimei proceeded to say, ¡°The first batch of nurses that went were all those that were very qualified. Will the next batch me the nurses that have been working for a few years?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible,¡± A few people nodded their heads in agreement. The slightly older nurses were very worried, ¡°It can¡¯t be. Do we have to go to the countryside? I heard that the place that the first batch went to was not bad, it was a small affiliated village of B City. However, the experimental site for the second batch is an isolated village in remote mountainous areas. Even having a power supply is an issue.¡± The expressions of the nurses that were listening changed, all of them expressed that they did not want to go to such a place. Zhao Jixiang turned her head around to comfort Yisheng, ¡°No matter what, we won¡¯t be included in the second batch, don¡¯t worry.¡± Yisheng smiled mildly. Whatever the matter was, as long as one persevered, it would eventually be over. Furthermore, they would only be going for around ten days. Was there a need to be so scared? It was not like they were staying there for a long time. Just when the few nurses were expressing their opinions, the Head Nurse walked over, looking unhappy. The nurses that had been gossiping instantly went their separate ways. The noisy surroundings instantly became quiet because of the Head Nurse¡¯s arrival. ¡°The kids these days are all so spoilt. Isn¡¯t it just going to a place and suffering for a little? There¡¯s not a single person who¡¯s willing to go in all the departments,¡± The Head Nurse started to complain to them, her gaze landing on the group of nurses that were pretending to be very agreeable, ¡°We have a quota in our department, the few of you can decide. You have to go whether you want to or not.¡± The expressions of the nurses in the duty room immediately turned bad. They looked at each other, trying to avoid responsibility. Zhao Jixiang leaned over and whispered to Yisheng, ¡°Something is wrong with this situation.¡± Hm? Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang, curious. Zhao Jixiang said, ¡°No one is willing to go, with the Head Nurse¡¯s personality, she¡¯ll use scissors-paper-stone to make the decision. This time, it won¡¯t be dependent on how experienced you are. It¡¯ll be dependent on your luck.¡± Zhao Jixiang had just finished saying those words when the Head Nurse, who was feeling impatient frowned and looked at them angrily, ¡°I knew that all of you are as delicate as the other departments. Never mind, play scissors-paper-stone, whoever loses will go. Split into groups and do it by elimination, the loser goes.¡± Everyone felt that this method was the most reasonable, so they split into groups and played. Zhao Jixiang simply asked the closest person, and directly told Yisheng, ¡°Come, come, let¡¯s play.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Yisheng showed scissors, while Zhao Jixiang showed stone and Yisheng lost. ¡°Ahaha, successfully passing the round,¡± Zhao Jixiang stopped smiling, patting Yisheng¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Take care.¡± In the end, she was defeated many times, and she lost all the way. In the end, Yisheng gloriously became part of the ¡®second batch of volunteers¡¯. The nurses that managed to escape let out a sigh of relief, finally feeling relaxed. The Head Nurse thought for a moment and then told Yisheng in a caring manner, ¡°Since you¡¯re going to be sent there, I have to take care of you. That place is very poor, and no car can reach that area. You¡¯ll need to climb mountains, and I heard that when you reached the power supply is often insufficient, so you¡¯ll have to be prepared for hardship. But don¡¯t worry, there are more than ten medical staff in the second batch, there should be someone who¡¯ll take care of you.¡± Yisheng gritted her teeth and nodded her head. It did sound a little tough. *** When her shift started, Yisheng went to a hospital room to administer IV drips for patients. When she pushed the cart and walked in the hallway, she happened to see a seemingly gentle Song Anchen, who was wearing a big white coat and his gold-rimmed glasses. Tch, he¡¯s a beast in clothes. Yisheng muttered in her heart. She had originally wanted to just brush past him, but Song Anchen opened his mouth to say, ¡°I saw your name on the list of volunteers just now.¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes. When that matter was mentioned, she felt angry. She lost all the way till the end, how embarrassing was that? Song Anchen smiled and said, ¡°When it¡¯s time to depart next week, remember to wear looser pants and travel shoes.¡± Yisheng was slightly stunned, Song Anchen¡¯s carefulness always made it hard for her to resist. She nodded her head and pushed the cart into the hospital ward. She helped the patients administer their IV drips one by one, following the name list. When she saw the ¡®Yan Yan¡¯ on the list, she paused slightly. For some reason, ever since the incident that morning, she felt like she had let her senior down. Her senior treated her so well, but she lied to him. She pushed the cart to G31 and knocked on the door. The deep voice that sounded from inside was her senior¡¯s, ¡°Come in.¡± She was shocked for a moment, then took a deep breath. She needed to face her senior as she had in the past. After she gave herself such an instruction, she smiled as she walked in. When she walked in, she saw Yan Yan with his legs crossed as he played on his PS. When he saw Yisheng enter, he yelled enthusiastically, ¡°I was wondering why my brother would suddenly come to my hospital ward. So he¡¯s treating this place as his dating spot, to meet his lover.¡± Yisheng felt a little awkward. Yan Heng gave Yan Yan an angry look, ¡°Play your game and talk less.¡± ¡°Alright, the two of you can flirt as much as you want. Just treat me as if I¡¯m transparent!¡± Yan Yan gave Yisheng an ambiguous look, laughing slyly. Yisheng coughed lightly and nodded at Yan Heng. Then, she picked up the IV drip bottle and the needle, walking towards Yan Yan, smiling, ¡°Come here, let me give you an injection.¡± Yan Yan shrunk into himself, feeling like Yisheng¡¯s expression was a little scary, ¡°I¡¯m a patient, I need care.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll take care of you,¡± Yisheng squinted her eyes slightly, her expression was definitely very innocent and nice, but her smile had a danger to it that was hard to detect. Yan Yan looked at Yan Heng pitifully, asking for help, ¡°Brother¡­¡± ¡°Be good,¡± Yan Heng simply said those two words. Yan Yan could only resign himself to his fate, regarding death as inevitable, ¡°If you don¡¯t inject it well, I¡¯ll definitely complain.¡± He fiercely threatened Yisheng. Yisheng smiled, then bent down to help him disinfect, now that she was close to him, Yan Yan accidentally saw the hickey on her neck and laughed loudly, ¡°Brother, as expected, you are a clothes-wearing beast.¡± Yan Heng did not understand the meaning of Yan Yan¡¯s words, a little confused. Yan Yan pointed at Yisheng¡¯s neck, smiling slyly. The expression on their faces suddenly turned white, and from Yan Yan¡¯s point of view, the two of them turned pale simply because of their awkwardness from being exposed. He laughed even more. Yisheng helped him administer his drip. After she adjusted the speed of the drip, she wanted to leave. When she faced her senior, her expression got even worse, and she quickly escaped. When she walked out of the door, she heard Yan Heng ask Yan Yan, ¡°Who is your attending doctor now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a handsome guy, he¡¯s even more handsome than you. It¡¯s Doctor Song.¡± CH 21.2 Translated by: Cherry A week later, the tragic Yisheng prepared to go to the countryside. She had packed very early on and brought two sets of clothes to wash and change into, searching for a pair of sports shoes to wear, charging her phone to full battery, and leaving. The medical team from the hospital parked at the parking lots at the entrance of the highway. All of the nurses and doctors from this batch had to gather here and go to the countryside together. She rushed over there early on, and got on the car first, finding a good seat. According to Zhao Jixiang, the gossip queen, on the list of the people that are going to the countryside this time, it was mainly people from the surgery department, out of ten volunteers, eight were from the surgery department. The doctors chosen from the surgery department were all considered very good in their overall abilities, all of them had very bright futures. Zhao Jixiang had even whispered to her, telling her to take a look at the guys. Yisheng just rolled her eyes at Zhao Jixiang, that girl seemed to understand and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, you already have such a good childhood friend, what¡¯s the use of looking at other guys?¡± At that moment, she was really speechless. As time slowly passed, people started getting on the car. There were a few doctors that she only knew the face of, but did not know. She could not help but feel sad, could it be that on her trip to the countryside this time, she would not meet anyone she knew? If it were like that, she was truly very tragic. This time, there were a total of six nurses following the group. When she saw that she did not see a single person she was familiar with after everyone had arrived, she despaired. Looks like she was really going to suffer. When she saw the few doctors and nurses that were chatting away happily, Yisheng felt very lonely. Suddenly, a grey-black T-shirt appeared at the car door, another person got in the car. His aura was clean and fresh, a small smile on his face. Against his grey-black color scheme, his white and delicate skin made him look a little like a foreigner. Did she see Song Anchen? His outfit was very casual today, a casual T-shirt, an army green long pants, accompanied by his youthful hairstyle, she suddenly felt that there were times where he looked quite like a sunshine boy. (T/N: More like ¡®there were times where he was sunshine¡¯ or something like that, which, (I think?) implied that Song Anchen is more of a ¡®cool beauty¡¯ kind of guy, compared to a ¡®sunshine-y¡¯ guy? So right now, his appearance is quite sunshine-y) ¡°Eh? Doctor Song?¡± The few nurses behind her could not help but call out, ¡°Doctor Song, sit here.¡± One of the nurses patted the seat beside her and called out warmly. Song Ancehn simply smiled slightly in response, his gaze looking at the whole car as if he were finding something. Yisheng bent down a little, although she really wanted to see someone she knew so that she would have company, she did not want to meet him. Women tended to say things that were different from what they thought, and she was indeed scared that she would continue to be entangled with him. She was scared that one day, she would fall in, and no longer able to get out. She knew what her worth was, and she and Song Anchen had long become people that belonged to two entirely different worlds. When Song Anchen saw the figure sitting on the third window seat, he could not help but frown. The way she was hiding, it was obvious that she was scared of seeing him. A mocking look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly walked to her side and sat down, pretending to look shocked, ¡°You¡¯re sitting here?¡± Yisheng glared at him. What did he mean by those words? ¡°From afar, I thought that your seat was empty,¡± He smiled slightly, ¡°The problem of being small is that you¡¯ll often be ignored by people.¡± She gritted her teeth, ignoring him and looking out of the window. The nurse behind suddenly tried to start a conversation and asked, ¡°Doctor Song, I remembered that you were in the first batch to go to the countryside, why are you suddenly in the second batch?¡± ¡°I have an essay in school and I could not get out of it,¡± He was polite, and his fresh side profile made one¡¯s heart thump. Yisheng looked for a second, then instantly turned back to look out of the window. However, her face had already reddened. She suddenly thought about that impure night. ¡°Aiya, Professor Zhou¡¯s student is indeed very brilliant. You haven¡¯t even graduated, but you¡¯re being taught like an attending doctor,¡± Another doctor cut in, his tone sour. Although these words had thorns, Song Anchen maintained his gentle outer appearance, smiling but not answering. When everyone arrived, the driver started the car. The trip was around seven hours. For the first few hours on the expressway, Yisheng was normal. However, when the road started to become bumpy, adding to the fact that she would get carsick, she felt worse and worse. She could not help but frown, enduring the feeling of her stomach turning. Suddenly, Song Anchen grabbed Yisheng¡¯s wrist, causing Yisheng to tremble. She wanted to pull away, but he was holding onto her very tightly. She glared but did not dare to make a fuss. She said, ¡°Let go.¡± ¡°You get carsick,¡± He said mildly. ¡°Even so, you can¡¯t take advantage of me when I¡¯m in trouble,¡± She continued to pull her hand out of his palm. The corner of Song Anchen¡¯s lips curved up with a hint of a thought-provoking smile, ¡°What is there to take advantage of? Why can¡¯t I see it?¡± He looked her up and down, and Yisheng got angry. Although she knew that she had no figure to speak of, but there was no need for him to remind her. Song Anchen¡¯s finger slowly pressed on the Shenmen acupoint on her arm, carefully and attentively. Only then did Yisheng realize that he was not taking advantage of her, instead he was trying to help her relieve the symptoms of her carsickness. She stared at the long and thin fingers holding onto her hand, rubbing her palm. She felt very comfortable. She did not know whether it was because his hand was soft or because he had good massage skills, but the more she looked at it, the hotter her eyes got. After that, her face turned hot as well. Song Anchen asked, ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± She answered honestly. Song Anchen placed her hand back to where it was and closed his eyes, no longer talking to her. She felt an empty feeling now that he was no longer pressing her hand. She sat there, feeling quite uncomfortable. ¡°Such a lucky person, to have Doctor Song massaging her personally,¡± A nurse behind her muttered sourly in a low voice. Naturally, she tried her best to lower her voice to ensure that no one would hear, but the car was too quiet, and her voice had reached others¡¯ ears, so Yisheng heard what she said and felt even more awkward. They had managed to endure to the entrance to the mountain, where the village chief was waiting to welcome them. However, they would then have to endure mountain climbing. The village head said that there were no roads for cars to reach that village, and hence, they could only sit on ox-pulled carts or walk over. However, as there was a lack of manpower and resources, they could only use ox-pulled carts for the medical equipment and some of the people there. The rest needed to enter the village by taking the smaller roads, led by the villagers. The females had priority, and the village chief had the women enter the carts first to enter the village. The nurses that had grown up in cities looked at each other, not feeling very good about the ox-pulled carts, but they did not have any other method, and hence, could only force themselves to get in. Yisheng sat on the cart and looked at Song Anchen, then, she looked at the rugged road, and could not help but say, worried, ¡°Be careful.¡± Song Anchen was shocked. Obviously, he had not expected that Yisheng would ever be concerned about him, ¡°I¡¯ll see you later.¡± After he said that, he followed the villager that was leading the way and walked towards the small path. A nurse saw that the soil was wet, and it looked very slippery. She asked the village head, worried, ¡°Did it just rain recently?¡± ¡°Yes, it rained heavily yesterday, and the sky only became clear today.¡± CH 22.1 t took nearly three and a half hours to reach the small mountain village in an ox cart. It was already five in the evening when they reached. In summer, the sky got dark faster, so at that moment, the glow of sunset had already begun and it dyed the area between the sky and the ground orange. Yisheng got off the ox cart, her hands and feet sore. The six women had been seated on the ox cart with their limbs curled together. Along with the bumps along the way, they were all numb and sore. A nurse could not help but complain, ¡°We¡¯ll have to suffer for these ten days.¡± When the village head heard that, he felt a little awkward and said apologetically, ¡°Our village is surrounded by mountains so transport has always been a little inconvenient. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Seeing that the village head¡¯s expression was already not very good, that nurse was too embarrassed to complain again so she muttered, changing the topic, ¡°Where will we stay?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve helped to find places for you to stay in already. Follow me,¡± The village head was a simple and honest man. He blushed and scratched his head, a little embarrassed, ¡°But the conditions aren¡¯t very good compared to what you¡¯re used to. However, it¡¯s already considered good among the people in the village.¡± The nurses did not speak. Obviously, they were unsurprised. Perhaps they already knew how the village was like. When the village head brought them to the place that they would live for more than ten days, their expressions turned a little bad. Mud floor, furniture made out of rotten wood, dark house. As soon as one went in, you could smell a rotting smell. Although the sheets were relatively clean, the living conditions were quite bad. Yisheng was assigned to a family of four. There was nothing much to say about the furnishings. It was a poor place, and she did not expect much. Thankfully, the woman who welcomed Yisheng was very warm and nice. Coincidentally, the male owner of this family was the villager who led the way to the village. He was probably leading the doctors back to the village at that moment. There were two children in the house as well, a twelve-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy. It was quite strange, they were already poor, but they still had two children? Perhaps it was because they preferred male children here. The female owner of the house had the surname Jiang, so Yisheng called her Sister Jiang. Yisheng had arrived just in time for dinner. When she sat with the two children and saw that they were looking at her with two pairs of bright and pure eyes, she could not help but ask, ¡°Why are the two of you looking at me like this?¡± ¡°Older sister¡¯s skin is so white,¡± The girl spoke first and the little boy nodded in agreement. Yisheng¡¯s skin was actually not very white, but her skin was smooth and soft. However, compared to Song Anchen, her skin was a lot worse. As to why the two children noticed her skin, it was because they were comparing her skin to others. Sister Jiang was a typical farmer¡¯s wife who worked on the farm. She was exposed to the sun for extended periods and her skin was very dark. The two children probably also worked on the farm, and would usually not stay at home to play, so their skin was quite tanned. Yisheng laughed awkwardly. At that moment, Sister Jiang served dinner, it was a plate of green onion mixed with tofu and a large sesame seed pancake. Seeing the two children staring at the pancake with shiny eyes, it seemed like they had a great desire for the pancake. Sister Jiang filled a large bowl of white rice for Yisheng. The rice was heaped much higher than the bowl and Yisheng had never eaten so much rice before. Sister Jiang said generously, ¡°Nurse Ye, is this enough? If it isn¡¯t enough, there¡¯s more in the pot.¡± ¡°Enough¡­¡± She had already broken out in cold sweat. There was a lot of rice and she was going to be stuffed. Sister Jiang scooped out two big bowls of rice for uber two children and Yisheng saw that as soon as the two children took the bowls, they buried their heads and started to eat, not eating much from the dishes and mainly eating rice. Yisheng found it strange that although the two kids seemed to really want to eat the sesame seed pancake just now, they were not touching it at all now. ¡°Nurse Ye, try this egg and minced meat pancake.¡± Yisheng smiled and ate two mouthfuls, finding that it tasted very good. She placed the plate in front of the two children, ¡°Take some too.¡± However, the two children shook their heads. Sister Jiang said, ¡°They don¡¯t like to eat such things.¡± How was it possible? Yisheng had clearly seen their gazes when they were looking at the pancake. The eyes of children could not lie. However, after thinking for a while, Yisheng understood. This was for the guest to eat and had been specially added to the meal. She smiled, finally understanding. Then, she told the children, ¡°I can¡¯t eat that much by myself, help me eat a little, otherwise, it¡¯ll be wasted.¡± The children looked at each other. Then, they looked at Sister Jiang with questioning eyes. Sister Jiang nodded with a slight bitterness in her eyes before the children carefully tore a small piece and ate it slowly. Yisheng had always thought that she was very pitiful, even having to earn her own money to study. In the six years that she had been out on her own, she would often get so tired that she would hide in her bed and cry, complaining about how miserable her life was. But faced with this sort of scene, Yisheng suddenly felt that she was still quite lucky. At least, in her childhood, she had enough clothes and food and was treated like a princess. Now, although she did owe people for all their help and she did have some debts, at least she was not living a very hard life. Compared to these people, she was very lucky. When she thought that way, she suddenly felt like something had dawned on her. Perhaps she should try to climb up from the dust herself and see the world above ground that she has not seen for a long time? CH 22.2 After dinner, the sky began to slowly get dark. The two children sat outside the door, holding a small bench and sitting down, quietly looking into the distance. Yisheng could not help but ask curiously, ¡°What are they doing?¡± Sister Jiang, who was still cleaning up the dishes and the chopsticks smiled and said, ¡°They¡¯re waiting for their dad. He should be coming back soon.¡± Yisheng smiled mildly. Song Anchen was probably going to come back soon. She yawned, a little sleepy. She had originally wanted to go to bed and take a short nap but there was a sudden flash of light, causing the originally dark night to suddenly light up before returning to its original darkness. Yisheng could not help but stop in her tracks. This lightning was very worrying. ¡°Boom,¡± Suddenly, there was an explosive sound of thunder. It was very loud, like the shock caused by the sudden ignition of firecrackers in a quiet place like the library. Following that, there was the sound of lightning and thunder that occurred two or three times, but it did not rain, causing people to worry about what kind of rain was coming. The two children sat at the door like statues, motionless. Yisheng admired these children. If it were her from the past, she would definitely have screamed in fear. After Sister Jiang finished cleaning up and came back, she looked at the sky that kept switching between dark and light and could not help worrying, ¡°This looks like it¡¯ll be quite bad, is it going to be a very bad storm?¡± Yisheng¡¯s heart could not help but sink. Looking at the sky, it was likely to rain very heavily. But isn¡¯t there a saying called ¡®The sound of thunder is loud but the rain is small¡¯. Was this a false alarm? However, such weather did manage to get rid of all of Yisheng¡¯s sleepiness. She ran back to her house and called Song Anchen, hoping that he would tell her if he was alright. However, no matter how many times she tried to call him, she kept getting the notification that she was not in the service area. The signal was too bad in this area! Yisheng was angry and annoyed, only able to sit and wait. While the sky was still not completely dark and one could still see the road, while the thunder and lightning were just for show, it would be good to come back as soon as possible. Perhaps the heavens had been bluffing for too long because it suddenly started to rain cats and dogs. The raindrops could no longer be described as ¡®drops¡¯. They could only be described as a rope that was hanging from the sky and falling to the ground due to gravity. The boy finally could not help it and started to cry loudly, running into Sister Jiang¡¯s arms, ¡°Dad hasn¡¯t come home yet.¡± Sister Jiang¡¯s expression also started to turn bad and her twelve-year-old older daughter still sat at the doorway, refusing to move. The heavy rain fell on her along with the wind, and her body was wet but she refused to move. ¡°What should we do? Could something have happened?¡± Sister Jiang¡¯s voice became more and more unstable as if she were about to cry. Yisheng¡¯s heart rate increased and she clenched her teeth, forcing herself to comfort them, ¡°It should be alright. Perhaps they are a little late because of the heavy rain.¡± ¡°The problem is that the path that they are using often has avalanches. Last month, there was also heavy rain like this and it directly buried the second son of the Liu Family.¡± Once Yisheng heard those words, her face instantly turned pale. She could not express her panic in words. In her eyes, she had never thought about what would happen if Song Anchen died. She had never dared to think about it and had never thought deeply about the importance of this man to her. She knew how to avoid him and did not dare to face him. But today, when she heard the news that Song Anchen might die, she panicked and was extremely anxious, almost running off to look for him. Just when they were panicking, the girl exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Someone¡¯s here.¡± In the pouring rain with their surroundings being shrouded by rain. There was a dark shadow coming towards the house in the vast expanse of white. Sister Jiang hurried to the door and looked carefully but she only saw one person in a raincoat slowly showing up. It was the village head. The village head shook his body to get the water off and gasped, ¡°Has your man come back yet?¡± Sister Jiang¡¯s eyes turned red and she choked and said, ¡°He¡¯s not back yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, why aren¡¯t they back yet after such a long time? I just heard that the road had an avalanche because of the rain again. Why aren¡¯t they back yet?¡± The village head had also begun to feel restless, raindrops were hanging on his eyelashes and he squinted at the vast expanse of white due to the rain, ¡°The rain won¡¯t be stopping for the moment. It¡¯s troubling.¡± Yisheng felt anxious, ¡°Then let¡¯s not wait and look for them now.¡± ¡°How can we look for them in such heavy rain? If there¡¯s another avalanche, the people that we send out to look for them might come back lying down,¡± The village head was very unhappy and harshly glanced at Yisheng. Suddenly, he remembered that she had said goodbye to one of the doctors when he had gone to pick them up. He suddenly realized, ¡°Ah, right, that very handsome doctor is your husband?¡± Yisheng did not answer. The village head quickly comforted, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, when the rain stops, we¡¯ll immediately head out to look for them.¡± The rain was very heavy, but it stopped very quickly. The village head was indeed very quick and immediately assembled a group of people to look for them. Sister Jiang was worried and wanted to follow. Yisheng thought that if something had happened, she was a medical worker and would be able to help to take some emergency measures, so she followed Sister Jiang. What made Yisheng very disappointed was that out of the six nurses, only she accompanied the team. She could not help but smile bitterly. It turns out that her colleagues had such a shallow relationship. When the group of them walked a meter out of the village, holding shovels and sticks, they saw a team being led by Song Anchen. He was a little dirty and had a lot of mud on his arm. His gray-black T-shirt along with a large area on his trousers was also stained with yellow mud. He looked like he had fallen. On his back was Sister Jiang¡¯s husband, whose hair had turned yellow because of the yellow mud. The other male doctors were also quite miserable and were covered in yellow. When Song Anchen saw Yisheng standing amongst the group of people that looked like bandits, complex emotions flashed in his eyes. When Yisheng saw them safe, her heart that had been anxious all this while finally relaxed. The village head hurriedly went forward to ask the man that Song Anchen was carrying on his back, ¡°Ah, what happened?¡± ¡°The road was too slippery and I sprained my ankle. It caused us to be delayed and it was raining heavily. Because they were carrying me and I was being a burden, it caused these doctors to be drenched.¡± ¡°So useless,¡± The village head frowned and scolded him. After that, he bent down, ¡°Come on, what are you doing continuing to lie on the doctor? I¡¯ll carry you home.¡± (T/N: ! Don¡¯t misinterpret~ He¡¯s not actually scolding him lol it¡¯s more of a tsundere-ish thing oops) ¡°There¡¯s no need, I¡¯ll send him back. I happen to be staying at his house,¡± Song Anchen said calmly. ¡°Aiya, doctor, you scared your wife this time. Look at how she looked like she¡¯s going to cry. Look,¡± The village head pursed his lips and said in the direction of Yisheng, ¡°She insisted on accompanying us.¡± Song Anchen looked at Yisheng and saw that she was standing opposite him rather awkwardly, not daring to meet his gaze. Song Anchen¡¯s eyes twinkled and it was like seeing flowers and willow trees after trekking through thousands of mountains and rivers. He smiled slightly and said jokingly to her, ¡°Wife, I¡¯m back.¡± CH 23.1 After the rain, the air had the smell of moisture which seeped into one¡¯s nostrils. Occasionally, she could smell the scent of the natural grass. The him in front of Yisheng was not as well-dressed as he usually was, but he had a rare mischievousness to him. He called her ¡®wife¡¯ in front of so many people. The village head smiled and gave the man on Song Anchen¡¯s back a look. The man on Song Anchen¡¯s back realized and started to struggle a little, ¡°Doctor Song, go comfort your wife. The village head can carry me.¡± The villagers around Yisheng started to giggle which made Yisheng feel extremely awkward. She should have denied it at that time, but her brain had short-circuited and she could not think logically causing her to feel stunned and miss the opportunity to explain. She saw that the doctors behind Song Anchen looking at Song Anchen and her with disbelief. They had thought that this was a joke made after surviving something that could have killed them. However, this was indeed a joke, but the originator of the joke was Yisheng, and Song Anchen was simply continuing the joke. Song Anchen placed down the villager and walked towards Yisheng. At that moment, he looked like a mess, but with his handsome face, he still managed to make one¡¯s heart thump furiously. Song Anchen smiled at Yisheng charmingly, his slender and long eyes overflowed with playfulness, ¡°I won¡¯t make you worry anymore in the future.¡± ¡°Mm,¡± She nodded awkwardly and did not dare to meet his eyes. For her, she felt that she was a little abnormal since she experienced that ¡®false alarm¡¯. Song Anchen smiled at her, then turned to look towards the dumbfounded male doctors, ¡°It¡¯s been hard on everyone.¡± After that, he turned his gaze to the villager, ¡°Let¡¯s go back first.¡± The villagers nodded and were led back to the village by the village head. Sister Jiang looked at her husband angrily, ¡°So useless. A road that you¡¯ve walked for so many years and you slipped and fell,¡± Although her tone was not very good, in the end, she still caringly helped her husband peel away the dried mud on his face. Yisheng followed behind them, feeling very uneasy. Song Anchen, who was following them stood next to her. ¡°When shall we get our marriage certificate?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s gaze was fixed to the front, but his words were definitely for Yisheng. Yisheng turned her head to look at his mild expression and smiled to say, ¡°Little Brother Song really knows how to tell jokes.¡± ¡°Older Sister Ye is also not bad. I wasn¡¯t by your side for a short while and you¡¯re going about and slandering our relationship,¡± He turned this head slightly and narrowed his eyes to look at her, no matter how she looked at it, his pair of slender eyes had a sly look to them. Yisheng did not say anything. She was indeed in the wrong. But she thought for a moment and found a way out for herself, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s fine even if they misunderstand. We¡¯ll be leaving in ten days, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Song Anchen smiled gently, ¡°They won¡¯t know, but what about the doctors that came with us?¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turned pale instantly and she could only laugh awkwardly. ¡°Let¡¯s find a time and get the marriage certificate done,¡± Song Anchen smiled and said to her. ¡°Little Brother Song!!¡± Yisheng glared at him solemnly. When Sister Jiang heard Yisheng¡¯s roar, she could not help turning her head to look at them. Yisheng¡¯s face instantly turned red in embarrassment and she smiled at Sister Jiang to indicate that there was nothing wrong. Song Anchen shook the clothes he was wearing, ¡°Help me wash my clothes later.¡± ¡°Why should I wash your clothes? Wash it yourself.¡± ¡°Wife?¡± Song Anchen thought for a moment, ¡°Right? Wife.¡± She took a deep breath, trying her best to seem calm. This time, he had the complete advantage over her. Yisheng stepped on the mud and she was distracted for a moment, causing her feet to slip. She grabbed onto Song Anchen¡¯s hand to hold herself up and thankfully, she did not actually fall. She took a long breath and when she was about to withdraw her hand, Song Anchen had brazenly held it tightly, a smile on the corner of his lips, ¡°I like how you take initiative.¡± ¡°¡­¡± She finally broke down. When they returned to Sister Jiang¡¯s house, Yisheng¡¯s first job was to be Song Anchen¡¯s assistant and help him deal with Sister Jiang¡¯s husband¡¯s ankle injury. His injury was a common ligament strain, improving blood circulation, using Traditional Chinese Medicine externally, and taking Western medicine orally, they mixed Chinese and Western medicine, allowing for a good recovery effect. When everything was dealt with, Song Anchen began to tidy up his things. Sister Jiang had really thought that they were husband and wife. She directly changed her single-person quilt to a double quilt and winked at Yisheng, smiling, ¡°Your husband is quite handsome.¡± The corner of Yisheng¡¯s mouth twitched and she grabbed the blanket in Sister Jiang¡¯s hand, saying a little awkwardly, ¡°Actually¡­ We haven¡¯t gotten our marriage certificate yet and it won¡¯t be good for us to sleep together.¡± Song Anchen was standing by the side, his eyes flashing like the light of a meteorite falling to the earth as he smiled and agreed, ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve only agreed to marry in private.¡± After Yisheng heard those words, her chest tightened and she almost collapsed. She glared at Song Anchen angrily, his horrible mouth would only spit lies. Sister Jiang was stunned at first, but proceeded to laugh happily, ¡°It¡¯s a minor matter. It¡¯s fine even if you promise yourselves to each other in private again. Anyway, you¡¯ll be husband and wife in the future,¡± Sister Jiang smiled, showing her teeth as she carried the quilt and walked to the door, telling Song Anchen, ¡°Doctor Song, take a bath later. I¡¯ll go boil water first.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Song Anchen smiled, his white skin and his charming eyes still appealed to people even though he was covered in yellow mud. Sister Jiang stared at Song Anchen¡¯s pretty face. She could not help feeling that city men, even when one could not see their features, their aura was already more attractive than her man. They could not be compared. Yisheng was staring at the bed that had only one quilt, feeling awkward. This room had obviously been vacated for them in a rush, there was no other furniture and there was only a bed and a large empty room. Song Anchen suddenly raised his hands above his head, ready to take off his shirt. When Yisheng saw it, she was surprised and retreated, ¡°What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes all of a sudden?¡± Song Anchen threw his clothes on the ground and walked towards her. CH 23.2 Yisheng exhaled and continued to take a few steps back till her legs touched the side of the bed and she had nowhere else to go. However, she saw that Song Anchen¡¯s direction was clear and his pace was steady as he walked directly towards her. His eyes were full of charisma, and a trace of ambiguity that was difficult to detect. When the distance between them was only a single step, Yisheng thought that he would stop, but he still took another step. In a hurry, Yisheng sat on the bed, distancing herself from close contact with him. However, she did not expect that Song Anchen would lean over, and she naturally turned to the side, wanting to escape. However, at the moment he leaned over, she clearly saw the joking smile at the corner of his lips. She watched as he reached out his hand to grab the luggage on the bed and look for his clothes. Yisheng could see a sly smile from his side profile. Yisheng almost vomited blood. He was playing with her on purpose! Sister Jiang shouted from outside, ¡°Doctor Song, the water¡¯s ready.¡± Song Anchen made a sound in response and turned his head to wink at Yisheng as he said, ¡°Wait for me to come back.¡± He smiled very evilly, yet very enchantingly. Yisheng looked at Song Anchen¡¯s back, dumbfounded. Actually, towards this childhood friend of hers, she could not resist him anymore. However, she knew that what he was doing was simply teasing her, just like he had done since childhood, using her as the butt of his jokes. In the past, she was used to it, but now, her immunity had dropped to zero and she was unable to deal with his teasing. After Song Anchen left, Yisheng did not really wait for him in the room. Instead, she walked out of the house. Under the starry sky that had been dyed white by the moon, she sat in the chair in front of the house, dazed. The house was a little hot. It had just rained and electricity had been cut. Sister Jiang¡¯s two children had already gone to bed. There was no light here and she could only use the light from the moon to see the night before her eyes. Dotted with stars, it was like there were many chess pieces scattered on the blue-black background, showing all kinds of uneven patterns. Yisheng leaned on the cool chair, bored. There was the occasional breeze brushing her face and causing goosebumps, allowing her hot body to cool down a little. She closed her eyes comfortably and straightened her body, taking a nap. After taking his bath, Song Anchen¡¯s wet hair was still dripping with water. However, he was clean, his white and creamy skin looked even more flawless under the moonlight, amazing people like white porcelain that had been buried for a long time but had not a single defect after being cleaned. He saw that Yisheng was not in the house and his heart sank. He slowly walked out and saw Yisheng, who was sleeping under the tree. He did not know why, but his heart calmed down and he suddenly felt very at ease. He walked over gently, squatted down, and looked at Yisheng, who was already fast asleep, concentrating on her. Song Anchen¡¯s eyes, which twinkled more than the stars in the sky, looked especially bright and clear in such a quiet night. Song Anchen stretched out his slender fingers, gently stroking her hands that were interlaced on her stomach. He stared at her ring finger on her right hand for a long time. He thought, is there something missing here? It was time for him to add something to that part. His sexy lips were bent in a slight arc, and his eyes were flickering even more now, beating the shining stars in the sky completely. He slowly bent down and gave her a light and moist kiss on her forehead. ¡°Older brother, what are you doing?¡± The little boy who was woken up by the heat leaned against the doorway, blinking his eyes innocently at Song Anchen. Yisheng was woken up by the noise and she hazily opened her bleary eyes. When she saw Song Anchen standing next to her, she instinctively jumped up, ¡°Why are you standing here?¡± ¡°I saw older brother put his mouth on your face just now,¡± The little boy laughed happily. Obviously, this child had matured early. The innocence from just now vanished instantly. Yisheng opened her mouth and looked at Song Anchen. She could not help but blush and coughed twice, ¡°You saw wrongly.¡± ¡°No, I saw it clearly with my two eyes,¡± The little boy pursed his lips, very stubborn. At that moment, Yisheng could only lower her head, causing her height to decrease quite a bit, acting as if she had been caught in bed by someone. ¡°Do you know why I put my mouth on older sister¡¯s face?¡± Song Anchen with his usual warmth seemed even more like a clear spring flowing through her heart under the white moonlight. Of course, the little boy knew, ¡°You¡¯re kissing older sister.¡± ¡°Actually, older brother is hungry,¡± Song Anchen said and Yisheng¡¯s face instantly turned red. The little boy tilted his head, confused. Perhaps he was thinking about what being hungry had to do with kissing the older sister. Song Anchen grabbed Yisheng¡¯s hand that she did not know what to do with and winked at her. At that moment, Yisheng really wanted to vomit blood, Song Anchen¡¯s evil teasing had reached the peak that no one could match. The little boy did not understand, ¡°What do you do when you¡¯re hungry?¡± Song Anchen pulled Yisheng up to stand and walked to the little boy, bending over to pinch the little boy¡¯s tender cheeks, ¡°What do you do when you¡¯re hungry?¡± ¡°I eat!¡± The boy became innocent again. Song Anchen squinted his eyes and pretended to be innocent in front of Yisheng, ¡°You eat when you¡¯re hungry, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Yisheng gritted her teeth and glared at him. He had a human face but a beastly heart. Wasn¡¯t he teaching the child the wrong thing? However, Song Anchen spoke too vaguely and the little boy did not understand. Song Anchen did not explain anymore, smiling as he said to Yisheng, ¡°We should go to bed.¡± Yisheng had a flash of inspiration, ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m hungry,¡± He did not wait for Yisheng to refute his words and directly pulled her back into the house. The little boy standing at the door looked confused. Was sleepiness related to hunger? He thought for a while. Actually, the circular and gradual relationship between sleeping after eating was very simple. CH 24.1 T/N: Warning~ Once again, this part of the chapter is a little mature. Nothing too intense happens, but it¡¯s a make-out session that¡¯s a little descriptive. In the room that was so dark she was unable to even see her five fingers, Yisheng felt like her vision had turned dark suddenly. She could barely recognize the blurry figure. Song Anchen led her into the house with one hand, a hand pressing on the door, he shone brightly in front of Yisheng. In such a hazy and dark room, his eyes were still as eye-catching as before. She was still able to feel the soul-capturing feeling he was emitting. Yisheng could not help but take a deep breath, calm down! However, Song Anchen simply placed his other hand on the door at that moment. Her whole body was encased in his arms. The distance between the two of them was very small and she had nowhere to hide. ¡°Little Brother Song, it¡¯s time to stop joking around,¡± Yisheng¡¯s heart raced, lowering her eyebrows and saying with no conviction. Song Anchen did not say anything. He pondered for a long time before he raised one hand, lightly lifting Yisheng¡¯s jaw. In his eyes, there was an urgency, ¡°This whole time, I¡¯ve not joked around once.¡± Yisheng looked at him in a daze, suddenly feeling like there was a veil above his eyes, making her want to remove it, but he was stopping her. However, he suddenly took her hand and used her hand to uncover a completely different side of him. ¡°I¡¯m truly hungry,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s focused expression had a hint of mischievousness. When Yisheng was still stunned, his two lips had already covered the lips that were slightly open in confusion. That momentum seemed to have come about due to the storm and Yisheng made a surprised sound, but Song Anchen had picked her up in his arms and because she was nervous, her two hands tightly hugged his neck and her two legs clamped onto his waist. She was like a koala hugging the eucalyptus tree to keep her foothold. Song Anchen brought her to the bed, full of enthusiasm as he smiled and said, ¡°Let me heat up the dishes first.¡± (T/N: Dishes as in the dishes you eat with your rice, not like the plates oops. Like rice + vegetables/meat etc.) ¡°Hm?¡± Yisheng, who only managed to breathe after much difficulty looked at him, panting. She could not see his expression because the light was shining on his back, but from his tone, she could tell that his expression must be evil. She was thinking about why he talked about heating up the dishes when Song Anchen pressed down on her again. ¡°Wait¡­¡± She did not have the chance to reject him before Song Anchen¡¯s quickly kissed her lips again. He kissed downwards until he reached her neck, biting and sucking, causing Yisheng¡¯s body to tremble slightly. ¡°Knock knock,¡± Just when they were kissing, someone suddenly knocked on the door. The two of them stopped and froze. At that moment, Yisheng¡¯s reaction was faster so she pushed him away, awkwardly adjusting her slightly messy clothes and tidying up her hair before she went to open the door. The little boy stood outside, holding out a bottle of Hua Luo water, ¡°There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer. Mom asked me to bring the Hua Luo water to older brother and older sister.¡± (T/N: Hua Luo water is apparently somewhat like perfume? It¡¯s said to be similar to ¡®Florida water¡¯. I¡¯m not entirely sure about the above part, but basically, it¡¯s used to drive away mosquitoes and it also helps with itchiness.) Yisheng smiled awkwardly, bending down to take the Hua Luo water from his hand, ¡°Thank you.¡± The little boy could not help but notice the red mark on her neck and pointed at it to say, ¡°Older sister, quickly apply it. Your neck has been bitten by a mosquito.¡± Yisheng was confused as she touched the area his finger was pointing at. She did not find it itchy, but she quickly remembered what Song Anchen had done and her face immediately reddened. She said uneasily, ¡°As expected, it¡¯s hard to defend oneself against this mosquito. Thank you, little brother.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome,¡± The little boy glanced into the room, ¡°Has older brother already eaten?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t older brother say he was hungry just now? Has he finished eating?¡± The little boy was extremely innocent. He blinked his large watery eyes at Yisheng. Yisheng did not know how to respond and at that moment, Song Anchen suddenly walked over. His arms crossed in front of his chest, he did not blink or frown. Instead, he said very calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve been put off by the smell of the Hua Luo water and no longer want to eat.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like older brother is a mosquito, why would you hate the smell of Hua Luo water?¡± Song Anchen did not say anything and instead glanced at Yisheng before turning around to head into the room. Yisheng let out a breath of relief and carefully sent the little boy off, ¡°You should go to bed. Thank you for your Hua Luo water.¡± ¡°This bottle of Hua Luo water is very precious. I wouldn¡¯t give it to people randomly,¡± The boy raised his eyebrows to tell Yisheng to use it carefully. Yisheng smiled in response. When she closed the door again, the room instantly became silent. Suddenly, her heart felt a little empty. Yisheng¡¯s hand was holding onto the Hua Luo water tightly as she walked to the bed. She realized Song Anchen was already lying down and carefully asked, ¡°Do you want to use a little bit of Hua Luo water?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better that you use it on your neck. A very large mosquito bit it,¡± He turned his body to the side so his back was facing her. She could not hear much emotion in his tone and could only feel that he was a little unhappy. Yisheng placed the Hua Luo water under her pillow and lay on the quilt, closing her eyes and ignoring his unhappiness. How did she make him annoyed again? Time passed slowly and the night that held tenderness slowly slipped away. Yisheng finally felt sleepy and just when she was about to fall asleep, she felt like she had a layer of quilt covering her body. A pair of strong hands helped her tuck in the corner of the quilt and she could hear a sigh by her ear before he turned his back to her again and slept in the corner of the bed. Yisheng was covered tightly by the quilt while her heart was full of anxiety. Song Anchen was a man that she would never be able to understand. CH 24.2 When Yisheng woke up the second day, Song Anchen was no longer on the bed. When she went out, she saw that Song Anchen was already wearing his white doctor¡¯s coat, his two hands in his pockets, and a medical box on his shoulder. He said with a face of helplessness, ¡°Tidy up everything quickly and go to the village houses. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± He rubbed the head of the little boy by his side before he left without turning his head back, leaving behind a stunned Yisheng. ¡°Nurse Ye, did you argue with Doctor Song?¡± Sister Jiang carried the breakfast and placed it on the dining table. She then asked that question as she called Yisheng over to eat. ¡°What happened?¡± Doctor Song said that my husband¡¯s leg is fine and he¡¯ll follow the original plan to stay at another villager¡¯s house. He packed up his things early in the morning.¡± Yisheng was just stunned but did not ponder over it. ¡°When a couple quarrels, you should make up quickly, why is he taking it so seriously?¡± Sister Jiang could not help but mutter. Yisheng simply smiled and appeased her. How did she make him annoyed? Even she did not know. The second batch of medical teams that were sent to the countryside began to busy themselves doing consultations about various things. It was said that the nurses being sent to the countryside was simply to help with the manpower issues. The main problem was that the poorer and more remote villages did not have professional nurses, and the burden on the doctors was quite large. After they stayed for half a month to finish the consultations, they needed to go to the nearby county to guide the doctors from the smaller hospitals. Using the words of the higher-ups of the hospital who organized this event, their goal was not simply to do a blood transfusion but to deliver stem cells so that they would be able to achieve self-regeneration, solving the issue from the root of the problem. (T/N: The same logic of giving a man a fish vs teaching a man how to fish) That meant that the doctors¡¯ mission was very important. After being busy for half a month, they needed to spend a month guiding other doctors. They would return to the hospital a month later than the nurses. In the half-a-month that Yisheng spent in the countryside, she did not manage to say a single word to Song Anchen. Song Anchen even rejected those male doctors that knew about their relationship previously and wanted to purposely assign the two of them to the same group for consultations. And their relationship became very ambiguous. The nurses who had heard the rumors asked Yisheng but Yisheng simply said that this was just a joke. After that, they went to ask Song Anchen. His expression was very calm and no one could see anything wrong. Only when he found out that Yisheng¡¯s response was that ¡®it was just a joke¡¯, he showed a slight smile as his careless tone drifted into Yisheng¡¯s ears, ¡°We often joke about.¡± Half a month later, the nurses headed back to the hospital while the doctors continued to their next destination to continue their work. Being a doctor was even more tiring than expected. When Yisheng returned to the hospital, she felt unhappy from time to time, but she could not find the reason for her unhappiness. The hospital gave the returning nurses a day off and she stayed at home alone, feeling bored. Yisheng had a bad habit. When she was in a bad mood, she liked to eat sour things. The more unhappy she was, the sourer the things she ate became. She bought a large bag of preserved plums and sucked on the preserved plums she poured in her mouth, sitting in the living room and watching the television. It was very easy to kill time watching television and very quickly, it was noon. She was hungry and wanted to get up to make some instant noodles to deal with her hunger when she suddenly received a message. Yisheng jogged into her room and jumped on the bed, pulling out her phone from under her pillow and opening the message she received. When she saw that it was Song Anchen¡¯s message, she suddenly did not dare to open it. For some reason, she felt scared. She opened it hesitantly but saw that it was a short message. There were only three words on it and those three words were extremely shocking. I love you. Yisheng was unable to accept those three words. She had never thought that Song Anchen would send such a message. Even if he sent it, he was probably teasing her. She instantly felt uneasy and rolled about on her bed. Her fingers pressed on her phone, continuously wondering how she should reply to this message. Say that she loved him too? Or say that it was impossible for the two of them? Or say something like Little Brother Song, are you joking around again? She kept thinking and typed out a lot of different responses. But no matter what she typed, she would delete it and rewrite the message. She was troubled and scratched her head before she proceeded to roll about on her bed again. Yisheng suddenly stood up, her expression ferocious and she took a deep breath as if she was very determined. She typed out: ¡°Little Brother Song, you¡¯re f?u?c?k?ing joking around again.¡± Her finger was preparing to press the send button when she suddenly received another message. She took a look at the message first. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I sent the wrong thing just now. If you like it, you can save it as a draft and keep it to send it to someone you love in the future. If you don¡¯t like it, return it to me.¡± When Yisheng saw this message, she almost vomited blood. She angrily deleted the message that she was about to type out. In a fit of annoyance, she typed out three words, ¡°I love you.¡± Message was sent successfully¡­ In the end, barely a minute later, she received Song Anchen¡¯s text. ¡°Thank you for loving me, I¡¯ll accept your love.¡± This time, Yisheng wanted to vomit blood and die. Her whole body cramped up¡­ CH 25.1 Yisheng had been a little bored of everything lately and Zhao Jixiang noticed. When they were working, whenever she had nothing to do, Yisheng would lay her head on the table, playing with the pen in her hand. Her fingers would move about and the pen in her hand would be twirled around a few times. When the pen dropped, Yisheng could continue. This was a cycle that made it obvious to Zhao Jixiang how bored she was. When the other nurses had free time, they would chat to each other enthusiastically, waving their hands about. They were not at all like Yisheng, twirling a pen out of boredom. Zhao Jixiang could not stand it anymore and walked to Yisheng¡¯s side, sighing. She said in a serious tone, ¡°You¡¯ve become like this just because Doctor Song isn¡¯t in the hospital. You¡¯ve completely fallen in,¡± She patted Yisheng¡¯s shoulder, her expression full of pity. Yisheng raised her head pitifully to look at Zhao Jixiang, ¡°When will they come back?¡± Zhao Jixiang looked up to the sky and hit her forehead, speechless. She rolled her eyes at Yisheng, ¡°You¡¯ll be able to see your beloved childhood sweetheart in five days.¡± Yisheng sighed, ¡°There¡¯s still five days¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang looked at her sideways, a disdainful expression on her face, ¡°You can¡¯t take it?¡± After that, she had a sorry look on her face, ¡°Sigh, women in love.¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t they staying longer? They¡¯re coming back so quickly?¡± Yisheng suddenly said and Zhao Jixiang almost lost her balance and fell. Yisheng sighed, feeling nervous. She was very contradictory, she was scared that it would be awkward seeing Song Anchen and did not dare to meet him, hoping that time would pass faster. However, deep in her heart, it was different, she wanted to see him. These sorts of contradictory feelings made her feel quite complex. Yisheng helped inject a patient and then helped Yan Yan set up a drip. From the start to the end, she did not even smile. Yan Yan could not help but ask, full of curiosity, ¡°Are you missing my brother?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng did not understand. However, after being reminded by Yan Yan, she indeed realized that the few days after she came back, Yan Yan seemed to have disappeared into thin air. ¡°My brother seems to have returned to school to further his studies. He might go abroad after some time.¡± Yisheng blinked her eyes, slightly shocked, ¡°Senior is going abroad?¡± ¡°It seems like your hospital is choosing a doctor with potential for further studies. The only thing is I don¡¯t really understand how my older brother got the place. I heard that the popular choice isn¡¯t my brother, my brother was chosen for some reason.¡± Yisheng gritted her teeth, suddenly feeling troubled. With her senior¡¯s qualifications, it was understandable that he would go on to do his further studies. In the past, their school also sponsored some students to go overseas to do further studies and her senior had a place in the program but he did not go in the end. She had asked her senior but her senior had just said carelessly, ¡°Studying, you can study anywhere. What¡¯s the use of running so far? It¡¯s too troublesome to go overseas, I¡¯m someone that¡¯s scared of troublesome things.¡± Her senior was indeed scared of troublesome things. He did not like to eat fish, feeling that it was troublesome that he needed to spit out bones every time he ate a piece of meat. A person that hated troublesome things so much had agreed to go overseas this time? Yan Yan saw Yisheng¡¯s distracted appearance and smiled widely, ¡°You can follow my brother overseas, there¡¯s no need to be so sad.¡± Yisheng looked at him from the corner of her eyes, feeling like his words were not reliable at all. Yan Yan seemed to feel Yisheng¡¯s contempt and he instantly muttered, defending himself, ¡°My parents are both in America, isn¡¯t it better for you to migrate over after you¡¯ve married my brother?¡± This was the first time Yisheng found out about Yan Heng¡¯s family background. However, she wondered, since his family was all in America, why didn¡¯t Yan Heng go overseas and instead stayed in China this whole while? ¡°Why are you and senior staying in China?¡± Yisheng could not help but ask. Yan Yan crossed his legs and said happily, ¡°I¡¯ve been overseas for five to six years and this time around, I came back to visit my brother but I did not expect to fall so sick when I arrived,¡± His originally lively face immediately turned aggrieved and he lowered his head, sniffing. This was obviously just him joking around, but Yisheng had always been curious. Yan Yan was a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia. His bone marrow transplantation surgery had been arranged in less than a month. Once, when the nurses were chatting, they had said that Yan Yan¡¯s family background was very good. Later on, they found out that Yan Yan was Yan Heng¡¯s younger brother, so they naturally thought that this was due to Yan Heng. Her senior was only a chief surgeon, did he have so much power? This was the first time Yisheng had such questions, so she continued to ask Yan Yan. Although Yan Yan found it strange that Yisheng did not know about his brother¡¯s background, he answered truthfully, ¡°My father is a diplomat and my mother is a psychologist.¡± It turned out that Yan Heng was from a rich family, and his family had some power. ¡°Actually, Younger Brother Yan Yan, my relationship with senior is purely friendship,¡± Yisheng felt that she needed to clear up the misunderstanding. ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell,¡± Yan Yan looked her up and down, ¡°My brother gave up on foreign girls and stayed in China. He didn¡¯t return to Beijing either and directly came to B City. Who could it be for?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t City B your hometown?¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes and lied with her eyes open. However, Yisheng¡¯s question made Yan Yan shocked. He widened his already large eyes and asked in disbelief, ¡°Our family is from Beijing, our hometown has nothing to do with B City.¡± Yisheng widened her eyes at the same time, blinking as she looked at Yan Yan. She suddenly felt a little puzzled. If her senior wasn¡¯t from B City, why did he tell her he was from her hometown in school? Furthermore, why was he so familiar with this city? Yisheng was suddenly confused and did not understand. While she was working in the afternoon, she kept thinking about this matter. She really wanted to ask him and find out but felt that there was no need to. Even though her senior had lied to her, he treated her so well. Did it matter whether he had lied to her or not? She was just feeling very curious. It was not that she was accusing him of anything. When they ended work for the day, Yisheng went to the changing room and changed out of her uniform. She had originally planned on giving her senior a call to ask him how he was. Her phone was in her hand and she had yet to find his number when Zhao Jixiang, who had just finished changing suddenly came from behind and leaned on her shoulder. She had not expected it and Yisheng was so shocked that she broke out in cold sweat. Yisheng narrowed her eyes and looked at her, ¡°What can I do for you?¡± Normally when Zhao Jixiang was so enthusiastic, it was nothing good. Zhao Jixiang did not seem to have anything to ask her today. She was a direct person and she did not act pitiful today. Yisheng saw Zhao Jixiang maintain her smile, ¡°Yisheng, for the National day holiday, let¡¯s go to Thailand.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Go overseas during the long holiday? ¡°It was organized by the oncology department. Most people in the internal medicine and surgery department are going. It won¡¯t be good for us to miss it, right?¡± Zhao Jixiang smiled slyly and wiggled her eyebrows, her expression extremely evil. Yisheng rolled her eyes, ¡°You aren¡¯t planning on spending your time alone with Xiao Zhuozi?¡± ¡°If we spend our time in Thailand together, isn¡¯t that better?¡± She placed her palms together, getting carried away. When she found out that Xiao Zhuozi was going, Song Anchen, who had always been close to Xiao Zhuozi would probably go as well. After Yisheng considered that, she instantly rejected the idea of going on this trip, ¡°I won¡¯t go.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang showed a pitiful expression as if she were about to cry, ¡°I¡¯ve already helped you sign up.¡± Yisheng smiled superficially but her gaze was enough to kill. Zhao Jixiang held Yisheng¡¯s face that was twitching and pursed her lips, ¡°We¡¯re best friends, and as the saying goes, it¡¯s better to have fun in a group than alone.¡± ¡°Then in the future, there¡¯s no need to discuss any questions with me. You can directly tell me about it like it¡¯s a statement.¡± Zhao Jixiang stuck out her tongue out and hid her emotions. At this time, the two of them had reached the hospital entrance. Xiao Zhuozi was already waiting for her. It was like Zhao Jixiang had seen her savior and she instantly waved her hand at Yisheng to say goodbye. She even instructed her, ¡°Don¡¯t forget.¡± CH 25.2 Yisheng rolled her eyes and grabbed her phone to check the time. Unexpectedly, someone was calling her. She paused for a moment. It was her senior. After a while, she accepted the call. ¡°Hello, Senior.¡± ¡°Little Junior Sister, do you have time to eat dinner together?¡± Yisheng smiled and said, ¡°Yep, where do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the place we went to the last time.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± She ended the call and booked a taxi to the restaurant they had eaten at the first time. Although it was only a fifteen-minute walk to the restaurant, she did not want her senior to wait. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Yan Heng, who was sitting at the seat they had sat at last time, by the window. He was wearing formal clothes, a suit and proper shoes, his hair styled in a very fresh manner. His eyes that always told people things were staring at someplace as if saying, why is the person I¡¯m waiting for not here yet? Yisheng slowly walked closer and managed to see his gaze turning to her as he smiled at her. Yisheng also smiled back at him, but she did not notice that his smile was a little stiff. After Yisheng walked in, the two of them sat opposite each other. Yan Heng opened his mouth first, ¡°This time, senior is prepared to spend a lot of money. Feel free to order anything you want to eat.¡± ¡°Senior, I should be treating you since you¡¯re leaving.¡± Yan Heng stiffened before smiling at her awkwardly and saying, ¡°The news spread so fast. You found out so quickly.¡± ¡°Congratulations,¡± Yisheng smiled and said. Yan Heng only curved his lips a little, looking like he did not care. ¡°Senior, ever since I got to know you, you¡¯re always the one buying good food for me. When you bring me to eat, you¡¯re the one paying. You¡¯ve never forgotten to give me a present during birthdays and important holidays. Sometimes, I don¡¯t know how to repay you,¡± Yisheng took a deep breath and continued to say, ¡°Actually, in the past, I had thought that you liked me. Haha,¡± She laughed awkwardly, not daring to meet Yan Heng¡¯s gaze. She knew that at that moment, he would be looking at her with a very intense gaze and she could not deal with that sort of gaze. ¡°I hope that your studies go well, and hopefully you¡¯re able to marry a foreign girl,¡± When she finally raised her eyes to look at Yan Heng, there was no intense gaze as she had expected. He was simply giving her a mild smile and covering her hand with one of his hands. Yan Heng tightly grabbed onto Yisheng¡¯s hand, using his large palm to cover her whole hand. He said, ¡°Chase what you want. Don¡¯t be too passive.¡± Yisheng just looked at him in a daze. ¡°If I asked you to choose between Song Anchen and me, who would you choose?¡± ¡°Senior¡­¡± It was rare for her to see her senior ask a question with such seriousness, so she was a little stunned. ¡°I missed your childhood, your teenage years, these are the two purest stages in one¡¯s life,¡± He tightened his hold on her hand and Yisheng even felt a bit of pain, ¡°It¡¯s fine if I missed it, but¡­¡± Yan Heng did not continue, a mocking look appearing on his face, ¡°Yisheng, you need to know one thing.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Yisheng stared at him. ¡°No one is good to another person in the world for no reason. Everyone has their secrets.¡± ¡°Senior¡­¡± ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s order dishes and eat. This can be considered our final dinner,¡± Yan Heng called the waiter over and ordered quite a few dishes. He even ordered a 1980 wine. Yan Heng returned to his happy-go-lucky self, ¡°Three years later, you¡¯ll probably be married.¡± ¡°Of course not, I won¡¯t get married.¡± ¡°Silly girl, you can¡¯t not get married. You really don¡¯t know how to take care of yourself.¡± Yisheng puffed up her cheeks, pretending to be angry, ¡°Rubbish. I already know how to take care of myself very well.¡± Yan Heng smiled but did not say anything, picking up his glass and taking a sip of wine, ¡°You like to eat spicy food, but you don¡¯t know how to nourish your stomach after. You only know how to endure after you feel unwell, never thinking that eating medicine might help you get better faster instead of making it worse. You don¡¯t know the weather forecast. When you¡¯re cold, all you know how to do is shiver, waiting for the arrival of the flu. When it rains, you only know how to run around in the rain and after you¡¯ve gotten drenched, you don¡¯t know how to eat medicine to prevent it.¡± These were all things that Yisheng had once done. Every time she ate spicy food, her senior would force her to eat some stews that would nourish her stomach. When she was feeling unwell, her senior would be the first to realize and send medicine to her hostel block and instruct her to eat the medicine. She did not care about the weather forecast, but her senior always took note of it. He would always send her a message to tell her how the weather is and to take note and keep warm. He would say things like remember to bring your umbrella. If she did not reply to his message, he would give her a call. Her senior took care of her extremely well. Yisheng suddenly remembered during her university days and suddenly she scrunched up her nose and pressed her lips together, trying to prevent herself from getting too emotional. Her senior had treated her so well, but she was unable to even repay him a little. ¡°Doctor Song is a careful person, little junior, you need to hold on tight to him. In the hospital, not only do the nurses covet him, the female doctors are often trying to flirt with him,¡± Yan Heng acted like he was telling on Song Anchen. There was no trace of the seriousness that had been there before. As expected of her senior, his expression changed quickly. However, Yisheng could not laugh. She forced a smile, ¡°I¡¯m too different from him. We aren¡¯t suitable.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t gotten together with him, how do you know that the two of you aren¡¯t suitable?¡± ¡°Senior, I can¡¯t read him.¡± ¡°Then, are you able to read me?¡± Yan Heng suddenly asked. ¡°Of course, senior is a gentle and kind man.¡± Yan Heng gave a simple smile, taking a sip of the red wine in his glass before pouring another cup, ¡°There¡¯s no need to read everyone completely when interacting with someone. All you need to know is that I treat you well, and all you need to know is that you love Song Anchen and want to be together with him.¡± After Yan Heng said that, he finished all the red wine in his glass in one gulp. He drank the red wine like water. Yisheng felt that today, her senior was very strange. The two of them ate for very long and talked for very long. When they finally paid the bill, night had fallen. Yan Heng had drunk alcohol and could not drive his car. Yisheng took his place and drove Yan Heng home. Yisheng had learnt driving from Yan Heng. Although she did not have professional instruction, but she did have talent in driving and drove quite well. It was a pity that she had not gone to get a driver¡¯s license yet. They both stayed in Ling Tian estate. In the past, Yisheng would be worried about meeting Song Anchen, but today, she was not scared at all. After all, he was not in the city right now. He could not come back before the stipulated time. She parked his car at the underground garage. She had just entered and wanted to turn to the area for Block C but accidently scraped the car against a car that was entering from another entrance. It made a very loud sound and the two cars braked at the same time. Yisheng had braked the car and steadied herself before looking at the other car, instantly feeling stunned. Song Anchen was sitting on the car, staring at her, but his gaze was very cold. She could not tell what he was thinking from his expression with his two hands holding onto the steering wheel. Yisheng suddenly felt like she had been ¡®caught in bed with someone else¡¯, and instantly felt uneasy. Suddenly, Song Anchen reversed his car and made a turn, quickly driving out of the garage. Yisheng could even hear the loud screeching sound of the intense friction between the ground and the car wheels. It made her feel uneasy. Yan Heng, who had seen the whole thing rubbed Yisheng¡¯s head, ¡°I¡¯ll lend you the car, you can go give him an explanation.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± Yisheng continued to drive and parked the car properly. Her face did not have much emotion and Yan Heng did not know how she was feeling. CH 26.1 T/N: There isn¡¯t a name for this chapter because I think it¡¯s been censored or something¡­ Not super sure but I couldn¡¯t find the actual name of the chapter sorry¡­ ;-;. I¡¯m also splitting this chapter into three parts because I have some things to deal with in real life and I need a little while to TL more~. The first two parts will be up this week, and the last part will be up next week!! So sorry about it, but don¡¯t worry, this chapter is longer than usual so each part won¡¯t be very short!!! Yisheng felt very apologetic. An expensive car like this was scratched after she drove it. Although her senior joked and said that that could be considered her surprise for him before he left, Yisheng still felt very uneasy. Song Anchen¡¯s expressionless face from that night would often appear in her head. She could not get rid of the memory of his gaze that was staring straight at her. It kept making Yisheng feel like she had truly done something wrong. But what did she do wrong? It was not like Song Anchen and her had some sort of relationship, what right did he have to control her? Yisheng convinced herself in that manner and decided to just ignore it. However, Song Anchen seemed to be truly angry. In the past, he would occasionally send her a message to ask her how she was doing. Ever since he came back early, not only did he not text her at all, even if they met in the hospital at work, he would directly ignore her and treat her like air. Yisheng felt that he was being petty, but found that she was somehow quite contradictory. Even though she was the one who did not want to meet him and was slightly against him, now that he was truly ignoring her, she was feeling a little wronged. She wanted to go and explain the situation to him but felt that she was acting like an idiot. The two of them had a cold war for about ten days. It happened to be the day that her senior was about to go to America to study. Yan Yan had also checked out of the hospital, intending to return to America and continuing his treatment there. Yisheng helped Yan Yan with the hospital discharge procedures and was running around, very busy. Yan Yan had his hands crossed in front of his chest, earphones stuffed in his ear. He squinted his eyes as he watched Yisheng busy herself with settling things. When Yisheng placed all the forms in Yan Yan¡¯s hands, she said without pausing, ¡°Remember, when you go back, you need to continue your treatment. It is possible to have a relapse.¡± ¡°Bah!¡± Yan Yan spat, ¡°Don¡¯t jinx me.¡± Yisheng chuckled, nodding her head to admit her mistake. ¡°Eh, I¡¯m going back to America already, don¡¯t miss me, lover sister,¡± Yan Yan looked at Yisheng, seeming to be quite reluctant to part with her. Yisheng paused for a moment, feeling that something was wrong with her newly changed title. Just when she was pondering over it, Yan Yan¡¯s gaze turned to look at something else. He waved to someone who was behind Yisheng, ¡°Doctor Song.¡± Yisheng stiffened. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re leaving already?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s voice got nearer and nearer and Yisheng took a deep breath. She glanced at Song Anchen from the corner of her eyes. He was already standing next to her. He was wearing his white coat, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge and he instantly seemed mature and dependable. There was a stethoscope around his neck and his hands were in his coat pockets. He looked very relaxed and peaceful, which was very different from how he normally was in his clothes. ¡°Thank you for taking good care of me over the past few months Doctor Song, I¡¯m almost completely well,¡± Yan Yan even bowed at a ninety-degree angle to Song Anchen, showing his playful attitude. Song Anchen smiled slightly and said, ¡°Pay more attention to your diet and recuperation. Try not to eat fast food.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Yan Yan shrugged, moving his backpack that was about to fall off. He put it back on his shoulder again and smiled as he said, ¡°Doctor Song if you come to America to play, come look for me.¡± Song Anchen maintained his charming smile and Yisheng forced a smile. Yan Yan leaned such that he was next to Song Anchen¡¯s ear, saying softly, ¡°I know many nightclubs, I promise you¡¯ll be satisfied.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ll definitely take a trip to America before I get married,¡± Song Anchen seemed to be very calm as if he were talking about something very ordinary. Because Yisheng was standing close to them, she heard their ¡®illegal¡¯ conversation and looked at them with despise. The saying that men all thought with their lower half, was indeed true! While sending Yan Yan out of the hospital, she managed to see her senior for one last time. When she saw her senior¡¯s smile that was as gentle as usual, she felt a little emotional and sniffed. Yan Heng came over and touched her head as usual, ¡°Little Junior, we¡¯re leaving now.¡± ¡°Senior, don¡¯t go to too many night clubs, it¡¯s already tiring enough being a doctor, don¡¯t overexert yourself because you want to enjoy yourself momentarily. This would be worse for your body,¡± Yisheng suddenly said such strange words, which made Yan Heng unsure about what he should do. Song Anchen who was standing by the side glanced at Yisheng, his lips curving slightly, suddenly in a good mood. On the other hand, Yan Yan got in the car as if trying to escape, shouting at Yan Heng through the window, ¡°Older brother, it¡¯s time to go, otherwise, we¡¯ll be late for our flight.¡± Yan Heng suddenly took large strides towards Yisheng and did not say anything before kissing Yisheng on her forehead in front of everyone who was sending him off, ¡°If you¡¯re no longer happy, call me and I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Yisheng raised her gaze and looked at Yan Heng and saw that he was serious. She suddenly felt a little flustered and with everyone watching, she blushed. She nodded her head towards Yan Heng, her expression shy. Yan Heng showed a sunny smile and pinched her cheeks, ¡°Little Junior, goodbye,¡± He turned around and entered the car, leaving as everyone watched. After the farewell ended, everyone left one after another, only Yisheng was left looking at that car slowly drive away, reluctant to leave. She was so concentrated on it that when Song Anchen walked over to stand behind her, she did not realize. ¡°If you truly cannot bear it, then you can go with him,¡± Song Anchen could not bear it anymore and said rudely. Yisheng rolled her eyes, ¡°During the long holiday for National Day, it¡¯ll be quite good to go to America and spend time at the nightclub,¡± She did not have a good tone either. The two of them glared at each other, seeing, whose eyes could be larger. After they glared at each other for an extended period, Song Anchen narrowed his eyes slightly, a casual smile at the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth to say, ¡°Thank you for your suggestion, I¡¯ll consider it.¡± After he said that, he turned around and entered the hospital with everyone else. Yisheng wanted to vomit blood on the spot. Song Anchen was really her nemesis. CH 26.2 After her senior left, the two of them would use MSN to contact each other. Naturally, they would usually talk to each other when it was Yisheng¡¯s night and Yan Heng¡¯s morning. The two of them tried not to affect each other¡¯s work and rest. In the blink of an eye, it was the National Day holiday. This time, the entire department decided to go to Thailand for holiday. There were more than twenty people and the one who was the happiest this time was naturally Zhao Jixiang. This was the first time she and Xiao Zhuozi had gone overseas together. Although the two of them were not going alone, the two of them had always pretended other people did not exist, not afraid of publicly displaying their affection. Yisheng actually did not like to take flights. The ringing in her ears was very bad and she was able to accept a three-hour flight, but if she had to sit for more than four hours, Yisheng got so uncomfortable that she wanted to die. Zhao Jixiang sat next to Yisheng, checking on her, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m feeling a little unwell,¡± She was frowning and it was obvious that she was not only ¡®a little¡¯ unwell. Yisheng truly could not stand it anymore and wanted to go to the washroom to splash her face with water and wake up a little. However, when she walked past Song Anchen¡¯s seat, Song Anchen stopped her, ¡°Open your mouth, you¡¯ll feel better.¡± Yisheng was stunned. Song Anchen knew that her ears were ringing? As expected of a doctor. He was able to know what was wrong with her as soon as he looked at her. Yisheng went to the washroom and washed her face, opening her mouth and trying to clear up her ears. As soon as she did that, she could hear people talking. ¡°I heard that Luo Luoshi is pregnant. Haha, I laughed so much. The man who created this child is married.¡± ¡°Is that true? Didn¡¯t that Luo Luoshi chase Doctor Song from university till now?¡± (T/N: Like not literally chase T-T. It¡¯s more of like ¡®courting¡¯ but not so formal~) ¡°One day, everyone will get tired of chasing after someone else. That Luo Luoshi started to chase Doctor Song since he entered school as a year one. She¡¯s chased after him for almost six years now, and a woman¡¯s patience will eventually be used up.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no need to be a third party in a relationship and ruin someone else¡¯s happiness.¡± ¡°Who knows what she¡¯s thinking. She wasn¡¯t able to marry Doctor Song, so she probably gave up on herself.¡± Yisheng returned to her seat, feeling uneasy. She kept looking around and Zhao Jixiang asked her, concerned, ¡°Are you better now?¡± ¡°Yes, much better,¡± She was still a little distracted. From Yisheng¡¯s impression, Luo Luoshi was a woman with a lot of charisma. She was even very smart and was also one of Professor Zhou¡¯s last students, Song Anchen¡¯s senior. Why was this sort of talented and proud woman willing to become a mistress? She raised her eyes to look at Song Anchen¡¯s back. Does he know the answer to this question? When they reached Bangkok, it was already late at night in Thailand. The sky was a dark blue and looking out over the city, it made people feel confused. The tour guide led them to the bus that would bring them to the hotel they had booked in Bangkok. However, when they reached the hotel, they were all disappointed. The conditions were very poor and the surroundings were not as good as the hotels in China. Zhao Jixiang could not stand it and when she saw the hotel environment, she truly could not stand it and directly pulled Yisheng to the side and discussed, ¡°The travel agency they found is too bad. How about we go off on our own?¡± Yisheng widened her eyes, looking at Zhao Jixiang in shock, ¡°We aren¡¯t familiar with this place, how can we go off on our own?¡± ¡°We have mouths, we can just ask people,¡± Zhao Jixiang glanced sideways at her. ¡°My English isn¡¯t good,¡± This was something that Yisheng was embarrassed about. She had gone for the CET6 test three times before she barely managed to pass it and even then, she had relied on luck and did it randomly. After Yisheng brought up this problem, Zhao Jixiang contemplated the matter seriously before she started to mutter, ¡°I can read English, but I¡¯m not very good at the oral component. Xiao Zhuozi¡¯s spoken English is even worse than mine, uh¡­¡± She glanced up at the sky, ¡°A talented student¡­¡± (T/N: It¡¯s some like English test to prove proficiency. Basically, the higher the level the better.) ¡°Ah¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly came to a realization and lifted her index finger, ¡°Song Anchen passed his CET8 already, and he even got the highest marks in school. With such a talented student, it¡¯ll be a waste not to use him,¡± After that, she pulled Yisheng to run towards where they were staying. Yisheng was getting dizzy. They were all staying in standard rooms with two people to a room and two beds. Song Anchen was close to Xiao Zhuozi and they naturally shared a room. Zhao Jixiang knocked on their door a few times and the person who opened the door was Song Anchen. When he saw them, he could not help but frown, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± He had a good intuition that their answer would not be something he wanted to hear. The four of them sat on the bed and listened to Zhao Jixiang talk about the places they could go to after they broke off from the group. When Zhao Jixiang mentioned that the first place she wanted to go to was Pattaya, Xiao Zhuozi jumped up, ¡°You want to go to such a place?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that you don¡¯t want to go there,¡± Zhao Jixiang instantly rolled her eyes at him. When she rolled her eyes at him, his face turned red and although he had seemed very powerful just now, he instantly wilted. It was obvious that he lacked willpower. Men normally liked to go to such places. Or perhaps it would be better to say, both men and women liked to go to such places. Pattaya was a world-class s?e?x? city. The Thailand government called this place a Disneyland for s?e?x?u?a?l? desires. The slogan for advertisements was that Pattaya never sleeps. There were over two hundred hotels in this city and they were of many different kinds. It could be said that it was suitable for different levels of people to enjoy the different nightlife and the so-called s?e?x?u?a?l? freedom. Of course, Yisheng, who normally followed the rules did not know that why this city was famous. She had never heard of the city before. When the four of them were voting to choose, Yisheng raised her hand with Zhao Jixiang in agreement. Naturally, Song Anchen did not know that Yisheng did not know about this city. When he saw her raise her hand, his expression obviously turned bad. Xiao Zhuozi was being forced by Zhao Jixiang¡¯s dangerous gaze and while he pretended to be very reluctant, he was quite excited in his heart. Three against one, the result of the vote was naturally to go. Zhao Jixiang was the kind of person that took action quickly. They packed up their luggage and went to find their tour guide to sign an agreement that said that if something happened to them, the tour agency was not responsible. That night, they got on a blue bus with a white line running across it and headed to Pattaya. When they reached Pattaya, it was already eleven-thirty at night. Despite it already being so late, as soon as they got off the car, they were blinded by the neon lights surrounding them. This was indeed a city that never sleeps. There were still a lot of people on the streets and every building was decorated with lights and colors, seeming very lively. When they were on the way to Pattaya, Zhao Jixiang had found a high-end hotel. However, she could not manage to get through when she was trying to call the hotel hotline for booking the room. When they reached the high-end hotel, they found out that the hotel only had two large luxury suites, which were considered the highest class of rooms in the hotel. Yisheng thought that it was rather reasonable. She could share a room with Zhao Jixiang and Song Anchen could share a room with Xiao Zhuozi. However, Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi did not think that way. It was the first time that they were on holiday together, and it was a rare chance for them to stay in a hotel, but they needed to stay in separate rooms? It seemed that the lady at the front desk was a bosom friend of Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi. She smiled and passed them two cards, ¡°The bed in the luxury suite is very large and is quite comfortable,¡± She winked at Yisheng and Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang instantly turned red in embarrassment and pulled Yisheng aside, discussing with her in a low voice, ¡°I want to enjoy my alone time with Xiao Zhuozi.¡± Yisheng¡¯s expression instantly changed. Of course, she knew what Zhao Jixiang wanted to discuss. She gritted her teeth and said harshly, ¡°No way, you have to sleep with me!¡± Zhao Jixiang looked sad as she reluctantly handed the key to Xiao Zhuozi, ¡°We can miss each other from afar.¡± CH 26.3 As expected, it was not normal for Zhao Jixiang to come to this sort of place, her happiness was too abnormal. They had just sent the luggage to the room when Zhao Jixiang had Yisheng look at the menu, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very expensive to order food in the hotel.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s in the middle of the night, where can we eat? I¡¯m feeling so hungry I can¡¯t stand it,¡± after Zhao Jixiang said that, she carefully looked at the specialty dishes in Thailand, but these dishes were all in English. Although they could understand, it was still quite confusing. Zhao Jixiang scratched her head, trying to understand what it was. She thought for a long while but could not understand it so she got annoyed, ¡°Nevermind, let¡¯s just say the name of the dish. Why do the dishes have such flowery names?¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes, feeling a little tired as she lay on the bed. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go and find the top student to help us translate,¡± After she said that, she pulled Yisheng up and Yisheng found it troublesome, ¡°You can go yourself, I¡¯m sleepy.¡± ¡°As a girl, it won¡¯t be good for me to go over there alone, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go,¡± She started to pull on Yisheng again. Yisheng sighed in pain but followed her. Song Anchen wore his black student glasses as he looked at the menu seriously. His dark gaze seemed to shine a lot, giving people a very pure feeling. Song Anchen pointed at a dish that needed 87 baht, ¡°This is delicious.¡± ¡°What¡¯s it called?¡± ¡°It¡¯s normally called green papaya salad.¡± ¡°I want it. Let¡¯s order more.¡± In the end, Song Anchen, who had a big appetite ordered more than ten dishes. The waiter came to pick up the order and asked politely, ¡°Do you need alcohol or any drinks?¡± The few of them looked at each other. The waiter saw that they were hesitating and passed them a small book, ¡°Normally, if multiple couples come to our hotel, they¡¯ll play a kind of game, with this ¡®fun¡¯ wine as punishment, and play a truth or dare game.¡± Zhao Jixiang was interested, ¡°Truth or dare? That¡¯s interesting.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the best game to understand other people,¡± The waiter saw that Zhao Jixiang was interested so he said some words that made Zhao Jixiang more excited. She took the booklet, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°These are problems that concern truth,¡± And then he took out another booklet from his pocket and passed it to her, ¡°These are the dares. You can use any method to judge whether you win or lose. The winner lets the loser choose whether they want to do truth or dare. After that, you can pull out the booklet and let the loser flip to a random page and answer or do the dare.¡± ¡°Interesting,¡± Xiao Zhuozi was also moved. In the end, this couple bought it readily. Not long after the ¡®fun¡¯ wine was sent over to make the atmosphere better. Zhao Jixiang shouted at Song Anchen and Yisheng, who were not doing anything, ¡°Come over and play.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no reason for us to play this,¡± Yisheng said guiltily. ¡°Treat it as entertainment,¡± Xiao Zhuozi also persuaded them. By then, if they continued to refuse, it would be rude, so these two accompanied the couple that wished to understand each other. They chose to draw lots to determine the winner and loser. There were four slips of paper and the loser was the one who got the paper with a tortoise drawn on, the winner was the one who got the paper with a flower drawn on. The other two papers were empty and they were to be spectators. The game has officially begun. In the first round, Zhao Jixiang lost and Song Anchen was the winner. Zhao Jixiang chose dare and when she flipped the dare booklet, it was telling her to French kiss her husband with alcohol in front of everyone. Zhao Jixiang was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment. The two of them awkwardly drank alcohol to build courage as they followed the instructions. After they did it, the two of them were red in their face and Yisheng had laughed so hard her throat hurt. And retribution came swiftly. Zhao Jixiang became the winner while the loser was Yisheng. Yisheng was scared of ¡®dare¡¯ and chose truth. But when she flipped to the page with the question, her expression was even worse than Zhao Jixiang was just now. ¡°Have you had an o?r?g?a?s?m? before?¡± Yisheng did not know how to answer. As expected, this was a game for mature adults. It was so dirty!! Yisheng said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± She had indeed responded truthfully. This matter, she had done once but did not remember it at all. ¡°Ah, Yisheng, you¡¯ve done it before?¡± Zhao Jixiang said this sentence without holding back, causing Yisheng to almost choke. At this moment, she no longer dared to look at Song Anchen¡¯s face. Yisheng won the third round while Song Anchen lost. He chose truth, and in the end, the question was, as expected, ¡®s?e?x?u?a?l? in nature¡¯. When was your first time? She saw Song Anchen turn red instantly, stunned. Zhao Jixiang laughed when she saw this question, ¡°The Cold Prince certainly hasn¡¯t had his first time yet.¡± ¡°Eighteen years old,¡± Song Anchen said unnaturally. Zhao Jixiang was stunned, the Cold Prince had done it before? And he had done it when he was very young. She could not help but knock on the table, ¡°Who could be so evil, ruining the flower,¡± Yisheng had already lowered her head by a lot. In the end, Song Anchen lost again in the third round. He still chose truth. How many women/men have you slept with before? Which one did you love the most? Song Anchen pressed his lips tightly together and could not help rolling his eyes at the small booklet, ¡°Only one, and the one I love the most is an idiot.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng was speechless. Later on, the questions became dirtier and dirtier. When it became Yisheng¡¯s turn, she was unable to answer and could only drink alcohol so that she did not need to answer. However, she lost a lot, and there were too many questions that she could not answer and dares that she could not do. So slowly, as someone who had a low alcohol tolerance, she had gotten completely drunk. Zhao Jixiang also collapsed and there were only the two sober men left. Xiao Zhuozi looked at Zhao Jixiang who was not sleeping properly and looked at Song Anchen hesitantly, ¡°The two of them are drunk, this¡­¡± His meaning was obvious. He wanted to take care of Zhao Jixiang. Song Anchen was a smart person. He picked Yisheng up, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of her.¡± After he said that, he left the room and went to her room. Although Yisheng had a low alcohol tolerance, she was quite a good drunk. She was sleeping properly completely unconscious. Song Anchen busied himself by using a towel to wipe her face and her arms. When he looked at how she was sleeping like a pig, he felt both angry and annoyed. Suddenly, Yisheng opened her eyes and sat up. She met the gaze of Song Anchen who was also sitting. Yisheng squinted her eyes and her two hands started to touch his good-looking face, ¡°Handsome, you look very familiar. You look like my childhood friend.¡± Song Anchen did not speak and knew that she was about to go into her drunken frenzy. He gave a random response and continued to help her wipe her arms. ¡°My childhood friend has a pair of moving eyes like yours. Every time I look at him, I feel like my soul is being moved,¡± She slowly removed his glasses and looked at him in an almost obsessive manner. She stroked his clean facial features and was infatuated with every touch. ¡°There was a truth question just now that went if you found your true love, what do you want to say to him?¡± She tilted her head and smiled as she held Song Anchen¡¯s peerless face, ¡°Little Brother Song, you are so attractive. I want you so much. I want to hide you and not give you to anyone else.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s eyes could not help flashing. He adjusted his messy state of mind, grasping tightly onto the towel in his hand. He raised his hand and helped her wipe her forehead gently, ¡°What you want, he¡¯ll give to you.¡± Yisheng opened her dazed eyes, seeming confused. Song Anchen simply smiled slightly, leaning forward and saying in her ear with great charm, ¡°He¡¯ll give you as much as you want until you are satisfied.¡± Under the blurry orange light, the two people on the bed started to kiss before they both fell onto the bed. CH 27.1 Although Yisheng was drunk, her senses were still awake. She remembered the sensation of what she and Song Anchen did clearly. She remembered especially clearly the embarrassing part of when she was hugging his neck tightly and begging him for mercy. It was said that doctors knew the body anatomy of a person better than normal people. This Doctor Song who got full marks for the obstetrics and gynaecology class used his knowledge of female anatomy in the activity. The saying was true, actual practice was the best way of testing how well one understood information. Doctor Song enthusiastically engaged in the activities and successfully tested all the ¡®sensitive spots¡¯ that the anatomy class had taught them. That night, Yisheng could only describe it as her having reached the sky. Yes, she had reached the heavens. She could even tell everyone that Doctor Song¡¯s skill on bed was comparable to the deities that could make her immortal. When she woke up, she stared at the ceiling of the hotel room, stunned. The memories from yesterday started to roll in. It seemed that this time, she had eaten her superior childhood sweetheart again. This time, it wasn¡¯t using force, instead, she had seduced him. When she remembered the embarrassing words she had said yesterday, she put her hand on her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She turned around to look at the already empty bed, unable to stop herself from feeling a little sour. Her childhood sweetheart must hate her. His v?i?r?g?i?n?i?t?y? had been forcefully taken by her, and he had finally forgotten that scarring memory with much difficulty and returned to his normal life. However, she had seduced him yesterday, and as a man, he must hate her for forcefully taking his v?i?r?g?i?n?i?t?y?. When she thought of that, Yisheng covered her face, feeling embarrassed. The large suite had a living room, a bedroom, and a balcony. Yisheng lay on the bed in the bedroom alone, feeling uneasy. She finally sat up and held the blanket up as she looked for her clothes. When she did not see it, it was still fine. But now that she saw her clothes, she wanted to break down. Her clothes were properly stacked on the cupboard by the head of the bed. It included her coat and her underwear. Obviously, this was done by Song Anchen. Yisheng¡¯s face turned red and did not know how to react. She hurriedly climbed out of the bed and wore her clothes, carefully pushing the door to create a small opening, poking her head out to peek at the living room. It appeared that Song Anchen was not in the living room. Yisheng was ready to slip away. She took large steps and held her slippers in her hand, rushing out of the door. While she was changing into her shoes, she could not help but turn her head and look elsewhere. She saw that in the balcony opposite where she was standing, Song Anchen was wearing a pure white bathrobe, his hair wet and dripping water. The sunlight from the sunrise hit his handsome but expressionless face. He held a cigarette in one of his hands while his other hand was holding onto his opposite arm. He leaned against the balcony railing and looked at Yisheng coldly. At that moment, he no longer gave off the gentle feel that made people¡¯s hearts pound. Instead, he gave off a frosty cold aura. Yisheng suddenly had a bad feeling. She saw Song Anchen extinguish the cigarette in his hand and walk towards Yisheng, who was slightly stunned. There was an unreadable emotion in his eyes, but it was like frost, which made Yisheng feel both dizzy and cold. ¡°Where is Older Sister Ye going?¡± He was smiling, but Yisheng did not think that this was a friendly greeting. Yisheng could only look away and say, slightly embarrassed, ¡°I¡¯m returning to my room.¡± ¡°This is your room,¡± He was still smiling, his thin and long eyes narrowing. The dark irises in his eyes were like a gem that was shining with a strange light, mysterious and unpredictable. Yisheng¡¯s heart throbbed. Little Brother Song could not stand how she seduced him and he was currently angry. He probably wanted to strangle her right now. She gritted her teeth and bowed, apologizing, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there won¡¯t be a third time.¡± She had done it forcefully, and she had used seduction as well. She did not believe that she could do anything more shameless. Although Song Anchen was a bit shocked about her apology, he still felt uncomfortable. This woman never dared to deal with things face-on, always running away. Sometimes, he was really tired from chasing after her. He had thought of letting her go multiple times, and in doing so, he was also letting himself off. However, he could never stop himself from chasing after her, or from looking for her. He clearly understood that in this lifetime, this woman was irreplaceable to him. ¡°Go and shower,¡± Song Anchen was quiet for a moment, but suddenly said this. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Yisheng rubbed the shoes on her feet together. Song Anchen raised an eyebrow, she still wanted to leave? The tolerance a normal man had was very limited. Yisheng had always known this. When she saw that Song Anchen¡¯s gaze said that he was not planning on letting her go so easily, she could only remove her shoes and run into the bedroom to shower. She hid in the bathroom, the orange light hitting her face. Yisheng stared at the many love bites that were on her body, stunned. At that moment, she was wondering if she had been the one to seduce Song Anchen or if Song Anchen had been the one to seduce her? CH 27.2 After she finished showering, she was wearing the same kind of bathrobe. However, the bathrobe looked very different on her. When Song Anchen was wearing it, it was sexy and seductive, but when she wore it, she looked bloated and wrapped in a towel. Song Anchen was sitting on her bed and saw her come out of the shower. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± She knew that she would not be able to escape that easily. She walked over and stood in front of him, like a child who did the wrong thing, waiting for her parents to scold her. ¡°Sit,¡± Song Anchen looked at her and said emotionlessly. Yisheng gritted her teeth and sat down. ¡°I was very surprised by what happened yesterday,¡± Song Anchen spoke first. Yisheng said, ¡°You know that I¡¯m a bad drunk. As soon as I¡¯m drunk, I become a pervert,¡± She tried her best to defend herself, but she felt that this was a barely passing explanation. It was not like she had only drunk alcohol twice, and it was not like Song Anchen was the only person she had spent time alone with after she got drunk. However, she felt troubled. The two times that she had been alone with him and drunk, both had ended in an accident? Could it be that the ¡®beast¡¯ in her only came out when faced with Song Anchen, a handsome man who looked delicate? Song Anchen was very unsatisfied with Yisheng¡¯s answer. He frowned and turned to look at Yisheng, criticizing, ¡°I can ignore the first time, but do you know what you did to me last night?¡± Yisheng saw that he was angry and leaned back, wincing slightly. She lowered her head, ¡°I won¡¯t dare to next time.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time,¡± Song Anchen said directly and fiercely, causing Yisheng to tremble. She was sure that she had made Little Brother Song angry this time. ¡°Then what do you want to do,¡± Yisheng decided to just go for it. At most, she could let him do it back to her. Song Anchen pretended to think about it. He thought for a while but refused to speak for a long time. Yisheng looked at Song Anchen, feeling worried. She felt like she had gone through an arduous journey, but unexpectedly, as soon as she got back on land, she was bitten and brought back home by a wolf wearing sheep¡¯s skin. Now, she was waiting to see if she was going to live or die. Song Anchen thought for a long while and Yisheng struggled for a very long time as well. ¡°After our holiday is over, let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°For?¡± ¡°To take our household registers.¡± (T/N: People need this when they want to get married~) ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng was so surprised she broke out in cold sweat, ¡°You want me to take responsibility?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you take responsibility?¡± Song Anchen looked at her coldly. That cold glare made Yisheng shiver and she did not dare to continue speaking. However, she was unwilling to accept it and could not help muttering, ¡°Anyway, I was the one who suffered a loss, not you.¡± She glanced at him and saw him look down at her, ¡°Then I¡¯ll take responsibility.¡± ¡°We¡¯re all adults, we should be more open-minded,¡± Her heart was dripping blood. Obviously, she wanted to be ¡®responsible¡¯, but she did not want Song Anchen and her to be together simply because of what happened. If that happened, they would be unhappy in the future. Song Anchen smiled, ¡°You¡¯re quite open-minded.¡± Yisheng could only smile foolishly, hiding her guilt. Song Anchen stopped talking and stayed silent, not speaking or looking at her for a while. With this sort of atmosphere, the surrounding air seemed to become stifling and extremely cold. ¡°I know you too well,¡± Song Anchen suddenly said that sentence, ¡°Well, then treat this as a game between adults.¡± He suddenly stood up and left, slamming the door. Yisheng was shocked by the loud sound of the door slamming and when the whole room became silent, Yisheng suddenly felt empty. It was just a game between adults, she told herself. But at the bottom of her heart, she felt pain. *** The four of them met up during lunch. Zhao Jixiang ordered a lot of food and her appetite was very good. She ate as she said, ¡°I vomited out everything I ate yesterday, I¡¯m starving.¡± Xiao Zhuozi complained, ¡°Why are you hungry? Who was the one who served you all night yesterday?¡± Zhao Jixiang turned up her nose and sniffed, ¡°Tch, weren¡¯t you enjoying it too?¡± Why did it sound more and more ambiguous? Yisheng choked, thinking impurely. Song Anchen ate his food quietly, not saying anything extra, letting Zhao Jixiang and Xiao Zhuozi continue joking around. Until¡­ ¡°Yisheng, how did it feel yesterday? With Song Anchen taking care of you?¡± Zhao Jixiang¡¯s gaze was extremely ambiguous, and she even raised her eyebrow slyly. ¡°Very good, very good,¡± Yisheng smiled awkwardly, trying her best to hide her discomfort. ¡°I was thinking the same. With Doctor Song, who will be able to compete with him?¡± Zhao Jixiang winked at her. ¡°Did you forget to eat your medicine today?¡± Yisheng could not stand it anymore and glared at her. Yisheng saw that Zhao Jixiang¡¯s gaze had landed on Yisheng¡¯s neck, raising her eyebrow with an ambiguous expression. Only then did Yisheng remember that her neck had a lot of lovebites and some were exposed. Her face instantly turned red and she coughed lightly to hide her guilt, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Yisheng could not help turning to look at Song Anchen. He was still eating his food calmly, and she could not see any change in emotion at all. It was so easy for him, he instantly treated what happened yesterday as a game between adults. On the other hand, she was unable to let go. Yisheng felt troubled, what was happening to her? CH 27.3 After they finished eating lunch, they wanted to return to Bangkok and meet their other colleagues. On the way back, Yisheng wanted to sit with Zhao Jixiang. However, Zhao Jixiang cared more about her boyfriend and dragged Yisheng to the seat next to Song Anchen. After Yisheng sat down, it would be bad if she stood up to change her seat. She could only smile and greet, ¡°Little Brother Song, the weather today is very good.¡± ¡°Mm,¡± He turned his head to the side slightly, no longer looking at her. Yisheng instantly felt awkward but did not say anything more. It did not take very long for them to reach Bangkok, and perhaps Yisheng was quite tired because she started to have difficulty keeping her eyes open and slowly fell asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, she slept very well. It was just that when she was sleeping soundly, someone pushed her body and she woke up. It turned out that when she was sleeping, her head had tilted and directly landed on Song Anchen¡¯s shoulder. Yisheng pursed her lips. He did not even allow her to borrow his shoulder and lean against it. She was complaining in her mind and Song Anchen knew. He simply gave her a look, narrowing his slender eyes and saying mischievously, ¡°The rules of the adult game is that after that, we have nothing to do with each other.¡± She instantly exploded, turning her head in anger, ¡°Thank you for your advice.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± She clenched her fist, feeling very unhappy. Song Anchen followed the rules of the adult game. Ever since their trip to Thailand ended, the two of them no longer had anything to do with each other. Zhao Jixiang saw that the two of them were acting like they had broken up and was completely confused, grabbing Yisheng to ask about what the situation was. Yisheng simply said, ¡°That night only happened because of the alcohol.¡± ¡°But Song Anchen wasn¡¯t drunk,¡± It took two hands to clap and the alcohol only affected Yisheng. Yisheng had thought all along that the matter happened because the two of them were drunk. When she heard Zhao Jixiang say that, she was immediately stunned, her lips twitched, ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. But when I got drunk, he wasn¡¯t drunk yet.¡± Isn¡¯t that nonsense? Zhao Jixiang had gotten drunk very early on, when Yisheng was still a little sober. Yisheng rolled her eyes at Zhao Jixiang, but Zhao Jixiang suddenly said, ¡°Yisheng, have you been using contraception?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and the blood seemed to flow away from her limbs, causing her whole body to turn cold. She stood there, stunned. Her mind suddenly turned blank and she was unable to think. Zhao Jixiang was murmuring, ¡°If you¡¯re not careful, it¡¯ll be bad.¡± Yisheng¡¯s heart had already stopped beating. Based on her menstrual cycle, that day had been the day of her ovulation, and the probability of her getting pregnant was more than 80 to 90 percent. Why didn¡¯t she learn her lesson? She forgot about contraception and it had already been more than two weeks now. If she had truly gotten pregnant, wouldn¡¯t she have broken one big taboo of adult games? She had messed up very badly this time. The more Yisheng thought about it, the more scared she felt. It had only been two weeks and she was unable to tell if she had a child or not. Such a worrying thing has begun to haunt Yisheng. She started to be distracted at work. Every day, she hoped that her period would arrive quickly. In the past, what she disliked most was having her period. But now, she hoped that her period would come. Song Anchen walked into the nurse¡¯s duty room, flipping through several medical records. He looked at Yisheng, who was the only one left in the duty room, ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± She was suddenly alert. Song Anchen smiled contemptuously, ¡°To do what you are supposed to do.¡± Yisheng stood up and followed, feeling a little uneasy. She was about to go crazy. In the corridor, Song Anchen passed her some medical records, ¡°These are the patients that just came in today. Three cases are benign and one case is malignant. Go and make a photocopy of these records and pass them to the Head Nurse for her to deal with.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Pass these new patients a hospital gown later.¡± ¡°Mmhm.¡± Song Anchen stopped talking and walked ahead of Yisheng, his expression cold. Sadly, the situation had been like this for nearly two weeks. She did not know how long it¡¯ll last, but she really disliked the current situation. The cases of these three patients had been taken over by Song Anchen. Yisheng followed Song Anchen¡¯s instructions properly. After the Head Nurse looked at the medical records, she went out for a while and said when she returned, ¡°Dr. Song is going to be a great doctor.¡± The nurses in the duty room looked at each other. ¡°He¡¯s still in his internship stage and he had yet to become famous. The hospital arranged for Dr. Song to be the lead surgeon and the three patients even agreed, tch¡­¡± Yisheng did not know if the Head Nurse¡¯s words were sarcasm or not. Everyone knew that the Head Nurse¡¯s husband was Dr. Wang from the surgery section of the oncology department. He had already been a doctor for more than fifteen years, but only started to take up the role of lead surgeon five years ago. He had worked hard for ten years and had been working as an assistant doctor for ten years. He finally managed to get promoted with much difficulty. But Song Anchen was only an intern. It was because he had a reputation as Professor Zhou¡¯s last student and was a top-tier talent that Medical University A was training that the hospital allowed him to be lead surgeon and the three patients had no objections at all. It inevitably made the Head Nurse feel unhappy. The Head Nurse proceeded to say, ¡°Who¡¯ll go help with Doctor Song¡¯s operation this time?¡± ¡°Me, me!¡± With Jiang Meimei as the first one to volunteer, many nurses scrambled to volunteer for the task. The Head Nurse had originally been unhappy. Now that she saw that not only was Doctor Song¡¯s career very smooth-sailing, his luck with women was also very good, she could not help but smile. She pointed at Yisheng who was not moving, ¡°These three surgeries, you¡¯ll be in charge.¡± Yisheng was slightly surprised and pointed at herself, unsure. With her lack of experience as a nurse, she was able to help out with a surgery? She truly could not believe it. ¡°Come to my office later, I¡¯ll tell you about some matters later,¡± After she said that, the Head Nurse left, leaving a stunned Yisheng and a group of jealous nurses behind. CH 27.4 Being able to attend a surgery was a very lucky matter for people with no experience. Zhao Jixiang was off-duty that day. If she knew about this matter, she would definitely be worked up. However, since she was in charge of these three surgeries, she would need to interact more with Song Anchen, who was the lead surgeon this time. She had to ask him about a lot of matters, like the specific process, the schedule. Wouldn¡¯t she die of embarrassment? But with how Song Anchen was treating her now, it seemed that she was thinking too much. He was truly treating it like it had been a game between adults. Yisheng had managed to endure till work ended and prepared to go home. She had just changed and left the changing room when she met Song Anchen at the lift lobby, who was waiting for the lift. He was still standing up straight, with a gentle look between his brows. His beautiful face seemed so outstanding. He seemed to notice Yisheng. He glanced at her casually. There was a ¡®ding¡¯, and the elevator had arrived. The two of them went in one after another. In this space, Yisheng did not even dare to raise her head to look at Song Anchen, who was at one corner. She stared at the lift number, watching as the number decreased. ¡°When we go on holiday this week, let¡¯s take a trip back to City A.¡± ¡°We¡¯re going home?¡± It was indeed true that she had not gone to visit her father in a long time. However, when she called him, she knew that he was doing well and had opened a restaurant and his business was not bad. ¡°Mmhm,¡± He responded mildly. Although Yisheng found it strange that he suddenly wanted to return home and even asked her to go back with him, it was true that she should go visit her father. There was another ¡®ding¡¯ and the lift doors opened. The two of them walked out one after another. Song Anchen ignored her again and walked straight to the parking lots. Yisheng looked at his back and could not help but scold, ¡°Petty.¡± When she walked out of the hospital gate, someone honked his horn from behind Yisheng and then drove to her. The car window rolled down and revealed Song Anchen¡¯s face, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a ride back.¡± For some reason, Song Anchen¡¯s sudden niceness made Yisheng feel a little happy. Perhaps she was not used to Song Anchen treating her coldly, or perhaps she was already used to Song Anchen taking care of her. This time, she sat on the front passenger¡¯s seat. Song Anchen glanced at her and did not say anything before he started the car. ¡°What date is it today?¡± Song Anchen stared forward and asked casually. ¡°The nineteenth.¡± Song Anchen put on a thought-provoking smile, ¡°I remember that the last time you were buying sanitary pads was around this time, right?¡± Yisheng¡¯s expression changed. Song Anchen held onto the steering wheel and glanced at her occasionally, ¡°Do you want to buy some?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, I¡¯ll buy it myself,¡± She said, a little unnaturally. Song Anchen only smiled and did not say anything. However, his expression seemed cunning. Yisheng was preoccupied with feeling awkward and did not notice his special expression. What she was originally troubled by had been brought up by Song Anchen again. Her period was very regular and would normally follow the thirty-day cycle. By right, it should have arrived on the eighteenth, but it was already nineteenth and had yet to arrive, so she was feeling worried. She kept telling herself that it was only delayed by a day, she could not jump to conclusions. The car stopped at where Yisheng was staying. However, because Yisheng was feeling troubled, she did not realize that they had already reached their destination. The car had stopped and her head was still lowered. She was calculating to see if the day they slept together was her ovulation date. Song Anchen was not in a hurry so he leaned against his seat, smiling as he watched her count anxiously. ¡°What are you calculating?¡± He laughed softly and asked, the wisdom in his eyes made it seem like he was asking despite knowing the answer. Yisheng turned her head and looked at him, suddenly realizing that they had already reached her house. She instantly went to open the door and got out of the car, waving at Song Anchen, who was sitting inside the car, ¡°Goodbye, Little Brother Song.¡± Song Anchen snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t forget to buy your large band-aid,¡± He smiled as he turned his steering wheel and drove out of the estate. Yisheng stood on the spot, stunned, touching her stomach. She thought to herself: ¡®Please don¡¯t let me down, I like having my period, and I don¡¯t like children.¡¯ As she thought that, she looked at the red paper stuffed in her mailbox. She pulled it out to take a look and turned cold. ¡°Oriental Women¡¯s Hospital, painless abortion, it¡¯s really painless!¡± F?u?c?k?! Yisheng scrunched up the paper, her face turning red in anger. *** Around seven in the morning on Sunday, when Yisheng had no work, Yisheng was still in deep sleep. There was a loud ringing sound from the alarm she set on her quiet phone which caused Yisheng to instantly jump up from bed. She grabbed her phone to look at the time and instantly got off the bed to shower and change. Yisheng had agreed to meet Song Anchen at eight. There was still half an hour more. She would be able to make it. She slowly tidied up her things and realized that there was still twenty more minutes. She thought that if he left his house at eight and drove over, he would take a while more, so she ate breakfast first. After she ate, she left her house happily and gave Song Anchen a call. He picked up. ¡°Little Brother Song, have you left your house?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already downstairs.¡± ¡°Ah? I¡¯ll head down now,¡± Yisheng hung up and instantly rushed down. However, she forgot that she was wearing high heels and almost sprained her ankle. After she got downstairs, Song Anchen¡¯s car was parked at a very obvious spot. The engine was off and it was obvious that he had waited for a very long time. Yisheng got in the car, slightly apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so early.¡± Song Anchen glanced at her, seeing the break crumbs left on her face, and could not help but smile, ¡°Did you leave this bit of bread crumbs for me to eat?¡± Yisheng saw where he was looking at and rubbed her face, feeling a little embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s lips curved and he started his car, driving out of the neighborhood and heading towards the expressway. On the way there, it was very quiet. Yisheng was bored and picked up her phone to play a matching game. Song Anchen glanced at her, smiled, and said, ¡°The phone is a really good invention, it has a wide range of uses and benefits others and yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s indeed quite good.¡± ¡°How is your phone¡¯s camera quality?¡± Song Anchen suddenly asked. Yisheng scratched her head, ¡°I don¡¯t take photographs normally and my photo gallery is empty.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s face was expressionless, ¡°Your phone is indeed very empty, you haven¡¯t even changed your wallpaper from the original one.¡± ¡°Eh? How do you know?¡± Yisheng protected her phone, ¡°You¡¯ve used my phone.¡± ¡°Mmhm, the night I was kept awake by you and I could not fall asleep, so I took your phone to play the matching game.¡± Yisheng¡¯s lips twitched, he was truly strange. He wasn¡¯t tired after messing around like that and even had the energy to play phone games? Yisheng truly did not know how unique her Little Brother Song was. When they reached City A, the two of them returned to their own houses. Yisheng had just reached home and called out, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m home,¡± when her phone rang at that untimely moment. It was Uncle Song¡¯s phone number. She accepted the call and heard Song Anchen say, ¡°Uncle Ye is at my house, come over to my house.¡± Yisheng was confused. Why was Song Anchen using Uncle Song¡¯s phone to call her? Unable to think of a reason, she went next door, to Song Anchen¡¯s house. CH 28.1 Yisheng knocked on the door opposite and the person who opened the door was Song Anchen. He looked at her quietly for a few seconds before smiling, ¡°Eat at my house today.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Yisheng was a little shocked. She peeked below Song Anchen¡¯s arm and saw that her dad was playing Chinese chess with Song Anchen¡¯s father. Yisheng instantly felt speechless. As soon as she looked up, she saw that Song Anchen had lowered his head and was looking at her. ¡°Hurry and come in,¡± Song Anchen suddenly said and stretched out his arm to drag her in. Yisheng was scared that she would fall into his embrace and felt even more confused. When did Song Anchen¡¯s actions become so rough? At that moment, he took the chance to hug her. Just when she was pondering, she saw that the two parents that were playing chess had stopped moving, looking strangely at the two of them who were acting intimately. Yisheng was startled. She hurriedly pushed Song Anchen away and whispered, ¡°Let go, Dad and uncle saw us.¡± Song Anchen was obedient and let go of her. However, he held her hand and walked past the two parents, ¡°Dad, stop playing chess. It¡¯s almost time to eat, hurry and go buy your groceries.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s father glanced suspiciously at their intertwined hands and when Yisheng saw this, she wanted to pull her hand out of his grasp, but Song Anchen¡¯s grip was very tight, so tight that her fingers felt a little bit of pain. Father Ye looked at them with the same kind of gaze. Although they were confused, they did not ask any more questions. ¡°Oh, right, Dad,¡± Song Anchen pulled out his phone from his pocket, ¡°Help me send my phone for repair while you¡¯re out.¡± Father Song looked unhappy with Song Anchen¡¯s request, ¡°You¡¯re so troublesome,¡± After he took Song Anchen¡¯s phone, he told Father Ye, ¡°Let¡¯s go grocery shopping.¡± Father Ye nodded and the two of them had just turned around when Song Anchen said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t forget to help me test whether my phone can make and receive phone calls after it¡¯s been fixed.¡± ¡°You rascal. To do that, you need another phone, but you took my phone.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t Uncle Ye have a phone?¡± Song Anchen said matter-of-factly. Father Ye¡¯s face turned red, ¡°I left my phone at home. When Anchen called and when I heard that we were playing Chinese chess, I hurried over happily,¡± Father Ye¡¯s favorite hobby is playing chess. When Chinese chess was mentioned, he would forget everything else. In the past, when the department he worked in had a Chinese chess event, there was once when in the middle of the match, he had to defecate, but because he was entirely concentrated on the match, he forgot to wipe his butt, and Father Song happened to bump into him. Thus, Father Song would often use Chinese chess to joke with Father Ye. It happened that Father Ye was the kind of person that was very easily embarrassed, and when this is mentioned, he would be very ashamed. Song Anchen chuckled and did not say anything more. However, the sensitive Father Ye¡¯s face turned even redder because of this. He asked Yisheng, ¡°Yisheng, where¡¯s your phone?¡± Yisheng was stunned as she took out her phone and passed it to Father Ye. Father Ye took it and raised the phone in his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s use this phone to test later.¡± Father Song laughed, ¡°You haven¡¯t gotten over your enthusiasm for Chinese chess yet?¡± (T/N: Wasn¡¯t sure how to fit it in that sentence, but in very improper English, what Father Song said was: Your enthusiasm for Chinese chess that caused you to ¡®forget to wipe your butt after defecating¡¯. Kind of referring to the level of enthusiasm that was so intense that he¡­) Father Ye glared and his face turned red again. He did not dare to look at the young people present and dragged Father Song out of the house. From the beginning to the end, Song Anchen had a smile on his face as he sent off the two parents. After that, he sat down on the sofa and picked up the plate of grapes on the coffee table, and started to eat. Yisheng found it strange and could not help but ask, ¡°Why are we suddenly having a meal together?¡± ¡°I told my dad that we came back because we wanted to have a meal together.¡± ¡°But why is your phone spoilt? Your phone is eight times more expensive than mine and mine has never had issues before.¡± ¡°Are expensive phones not allowed to have problems?¡± Song Anchen raised an eyebrow, obviously a little annoyed at Yisheng¡¯s words. Yisheng read the situation and stopped asking, sitting down on the sofa and eating grapes as well. Song Anchen suddenly leaned against the couch, a special smile in his eyes as he lazily looked at Yisheng while she ate her grapes. He suddenly opened his mouth, ¡°I instructed my Dad to buy sour grapes. I know that you like to eat them.¡± Yisheng froze, she normally only liked to eat sour things when she was in a bad mood. Did he buy sour grapes for her because he noticed that she was in a bad mood? Even she could not tell that she was in a bad mood. When he saw Yisheng¡¯s stunned expression, Song Anchen did not continue hinting, watching the television, and ignoring her. Yisheng rolled her eyes at him. It was quite annoying how he did not finish what he wanted to say. One was watching the television ¡®attentively¡¯, one was eating grapes continuously. Even Yisheng found it strange. Could she really be in a bad mood? Why was she eating so many sour things? She was almost finishing the big plate of grapes. After about an hour, both parents came back, but their expressions were very bad. They were both expressionless as they walked into the kitchen. Yisheng was a little stunned. The two parents that had been very happy just now suddenly changed as soon as they returned? She casually glanced at Song Anchen but saw that he was looking at her with an ambiguous expression. Yisheng had a strange feeling. She kept feeling like his suspicious smile hid a knife that was aimed at her. CH 28.2 Dinner was ready very soon and it was a few homemade dishes, the four of them sat down. However, the atmosphere was very strange. Both of the fathers were not talking and did not move their chopsticks at all. Instead, they kept looking at their children. Finally, Father Song opened his mouth, ¡°Anchen, are you keeping something from me?¡± ¡°Which are you referring to?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Was Song Anchen keeping more than one thing from him? Father Song did not know what to say. At that moment, Father Ye opened his mouth to ask Yisheng, ¡°Yisheng, do you already have a boyfriend?¡± Because Yisheng had eaten a lot of grapes just now and had been frightened by Father Ye¡¯s words, a stream of sour bile climbed up her esophagus. She hurriedly covered her mouth and stared at Father Ye¡¯s pale face. It seemed that Father Song was very shocked. Yisheng hurriedly said, ¡°I ate many grapes just now, so my stomach is feeling a little unwell, it¡¯s not anything serious,¡± Yisheng thought that the two parents were shocked because she was feeling unwell and wanted to vomit. Yisheng and Song Anchen¡¯s father looked at each other, before throwing their mobile phones in front of them. Father Song looked at Song Anchen with a serious expression, ¡°How long have you two been together?¡± ¡°Ever since we knew what love is,¡± Song Anchen said mildly. Yisheng found it strange. She switched on her phone and was shocked by the photo of the two of them hugging intimately. She almost lost her grip on the phone. That was the picture that was set as the profile picture for Song Anchen¡¯s contact number. That photo was the photo of the two of them holding each other with bared shoulders from that night in Pattaya? She looked at Song Anchen in disbelief but saw that he was expressionless and playing with the mobile phone in his hand, with that picture as his wallpaper. Father Ye asked directly, ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you had to repair your phone this time, how long were you planning on keeping this from us?¡± ¡°Uncle Ye. The reason for me and Yisheng coming back this time was to tell you the truth and to fix a date for marriage.¡± Yisheng turned her head and glared at Song Anchen, ¡°What are you saying?¡± ¡°Yisheng is pregnant, and we should get married,¡± He ignored Yisheng¡¯s glare and told the two fathers. ¡°I¡¯m not pregnant,¡± Yisheng hurriedly explained, but when she was glared at by her father, she hurriedly retreated, no longer daring to say anything. Father Song turned to Father Ye and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, my animal of a son is too outrageous,¡± Then, he turned to scold Song Anchen, ¡°Do you know that you¡¯re ruining her by doing this?¡± ¡°If I dare to take off her clothes, I¡¯ll definitely help her put on a wedding dress.¡± After Song Anchen said that, his father swallowed everything that he was about to say. He said to Yisheng¡¯s father, ¡°Let¡¯s choose a date.¡± Yisheng was anxious and she hurriedly looked at her father. Father Ye frowned when she saw how ¡®eager¡¯ Yisheng looked. Was she in such a hurry to marry? Father Ye, who cared about his reputation a lot felt embarrassed at how Yisheng was pregnant before marriage, and now, Yisheng¡¯s ¡®eagerness¡¯ made him even angrier. ¡°Uncle Ye, Yisheng wants to marry a beautiful wedding gown, the earlier the better, before her stomach grows too big,¡± Song Anchen helped Yisheng explain why she was so ¡®eager¡¯. Yisheng stood up suddenly and hit the table, yelling angrily, ¡°Song Anchen.¡± ¡°Sit down,¡± Father Ye roared. Yisheng¡¯s face was pale and she sat down. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s necessary to be traditional. They can get married directly without getting engaged,¡± Father Ye discussed with Father Song. Father Song did not have any opinion on that matter and nodded his head. Yisheng sat by the side silently, glaring at Song Anchen, who seemed very kind. Gosh, what kind of trouble did she get into? He had completely caught her in his schemes. Song Anchen knew that it would be impossible for her to call him, so he set the profile picture of his contact on her phone as that image. As long as he did not call her, she would not realize, and that was the main reason why he was ignoring her ever since he returned to the hospital. His phone wallpaper as that image as well. He had made doubly sure that this would work. If Yisheng¡¯s phone could not be handed to her father as planned, the photo on his phone would work too. It was just that it would be unable to show their mutual ¡®love¡¯. Both of their phones had images and Yisheng would be unable to explain the situation no matter how much she tried. She suddenly felt weak and after the meal, she saw her dad pass her household register to Song Anchen, ¡°We¡¯ll organize the wedding, the two of you can go to work as usual.¡± ¡°Yes, Dad,¡± He had already started calling Yisheng¡¯s father dad, he was really direct. Father Song patted Yisheng¡¯s head, saying with a smile, ¡°You two rascals truly kept everything well-hidden.¡± Yisheng wanted to cry. She had accidentally fallen for the trap and had been hurt by cunning. ¡°Aiya, I can finally hold a grandson,¡± Father Song happily told Father Ye. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m going to hold my grandson,¡± Father Ye also opened his mouth and laughed, completely different from how serious he looked just now. Yisheng stood at the side and glared at Song Anchen, who had his arm around her and looked extremely gentle. Song Anchen felt her stare and did not get angry. Instead, he smiled, leaned down, and kissed her lips, ¡°Wife, it¡¯ll be hard on you.¡± Her whole body was trembling. At around 7 p.m., they prepared to return to B City. The two of them sat in the car, Yisheng said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not pregnant.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Song Anchen started the car and randomly responded casually. ¡°My period came a few days ago. I¡¯m not pregnant, so you don¡¯t need to take responsibility,¡± Yisheng lowered her voice a little more. She had truly been very worried those few days because she had slept with Song Anchen during ovulation and it was easy to get pregnant during that period. Song Anchen, who knew when her period was, definitely thought she was pregnant as well. However, her period had come, so she would not be having a child. ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Song Anchen frowned, seeming a little troubled, ¡°Our dads are looking forward to holding their grandchildren.¡± Song Anchen completely ignored Yisheng¡®s words on not having to take responsibility. ¡°It¡¯s fine, there¡¯s still time to make one,¡± Song Anchen touched Yisheng¡¯s hair, ¡°From today on, you can come to my house to stay, and we can hurry and make a baby.¡± Yisheng¡¯s eyelids twitched and she had yet to say anything when Song Anchen started the car and drove towards the direction of their future home. CH 29.1 Yisheng sat on the front passenger¡¯s seat, feeling troubled. She pulled at her clothes, looking uneasily as Song An the car parked at the parking lots in Ling Tian Estate. The car¡¯s engine was turned off, but the two people sitting in the car had yet to move, continuing to sit in the car and looking ahead. Yisheng clenched her fist and took a deep breath, ¡°Little Brother Song, we¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ve gotten our Household Register, so let¡¯s find the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and do everything we need to do,¡± He suddenly leaned over and helped her unbuckle her seatbelt, smiling gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Yisheng swallowed the words she wanted to say. She did not know what was happening recently. She had been worried this whole while that she was pregnant, and after her period came a few days ago, although she felt a sense of relief, she had an empty feeling. Today, after such a surprising thing happened, as she had always been quite slow about these kinds of things, she had only come to her senses at that current moment. She had no other way out, her parents knew about their ¡®relationship¡¯. Even if she wanted to escape, she could not escape from the constraints of her family. She raised her head and looked at Song Anchen¡¯s slightly tired side profile, her heart feeling heavy. Song Anchen had always been a very responsible man. Even if an accident like that happened, he would take all the responsibility. He thought that Yisheng was definitely pregnant, but unexpectedly she was not pregnant. And the only thing that could hold him to her was not her, it was a child. The two of them went upstairs one after another. Yisheng kept her head lowered, not daring to look at him. Only when they reached the door to the apartment did Song Anchen turn around and face Yisheng, holding her hand and opening the door to enter the house. This was the second time that Yisheng had come to Song Anchen¡¯s house. It was the same as before, clean and wide. Before Song Anchen left, he would close the windows tightly and pull the curtains shut, unplugging all the appliances. This was a habit Song Anchen had. In the past, when they went to school together and Song Anchen was waiting for her, he would often close her windows and unplug her appliances. He had said that ¡®when you leave your house, you need to shut your windows. It¡¯s not to prevent robbers from coming in. It¡¯s to prevent the rain from messing up your house. Before you leave, you need to unplug everything. It¡¯s not to reduce wastage of electricity. Instead, it¡¯s to prevent fires from starting.¡¯ Song Anchen was the kind of man that was extremely careful. As soon as they entered the house, Song Anchen did not treat her like a guest and welcome her. He directly headed to the kitchen. Yisheng walked to the sofa awkwardly to wait for him. Unexpectedly, when he came out from the kitchen, he was holding a porcelain bowl in his hand. He walked over to her carefully and passed it to her. It was brown sugar and ginger water. Yisheng¡¯s face turned red, ¡°My period just stopped today.¡± ¡°I know, but it¡¯s easy for your hands and feet to be cold during autumn. After your period, it¡¯ll be made worse if you have an insufficiency of vital energy and blood,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s tone was very mild and he sat down by her side. Yisheng used both hands to hold the white porcelain bowl and blew on it, lightly licking her lips. There was a slight spiciness amongst the sweetness, but it made her heart feel very warm. Yisheng took a secretive glance at Song Anchen, her voice a little weak, ¡°Um¡­ Do I sleep with you today?¡± Song Anchen had originally been leaning against the sofa. His eyes were half-closed from tiredness. When Yisheng asked that question, that pair of deep eyes suddenly opened and shocked Yisheng. Song Anchen did not react much and smiled slightly, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to work hard to have a child? Do you think we can have a child if we sleep on separate beds?¡± Yisheng gritted her teeth. Even she did not know how to tell him the truth. She could only say, ¡°I wasn¡¯t able to get pregnant last time despite it being my fertile period. It is more unlikely now,¡± She did not tell him the secret she kept in her heart. This was something that Song Anchen had been confused about. In that kind of situation, the timing, along with his performance that night, she didn¡¯t get pregnant? Song Anchen laughed and stopped thinking about it. He blinked at Yisheng and said, ¡°I¡¯ll just go clean up and go to bed.¡± After he said that, he stood up and walked to the bathroom. However, a few seconds later, he peeked his head out again, ¡°I pondered for a long time. Let¡¯s get our marriage certificate tomorrow after work. As for the child, we can settle it within the month.¡± Yisheng smiled a superficial smile. He said he had pondered for a long time? It had just been a few seconds. Also, what was with his tone? Settle the child in a month? Did he treat her as a test subject to dissect, or was this some goal he was striving to reach? She felt a little dizzy and did not know what to say to Song Anchen. After a while, Song Anchen poked his head out again, ¡°Do you want to shower together? This time, Yisheng directly ran upstairs to prevent him from poking his head out to say something else. Song Anchen watched as she ran off, suddenly feeling like he was in a good mood. He smiled and entered the bathroom. Yisheng went upstairs and realized that there had been some changes upstairs. It was no longer just a bed and a bedside cabinet. A set of furniture containing a rattan table and chairs had been placed next to the floor-length window. By the window, there was a bracket plant in a hanging white pot. It looked a lot more interesting than before. Yisheng walked over and sat on the chair. There was a feeling in the air that made her feel out of it. This bedroom no longer made Yisheng feel that it was too empty or too wide. It did not feel cold either, and instead, caused a warm feeling to flow into her heart and warm her up. She did not know if it was because she was feeling too comfortable or too tired, because she felt a little sleepy as she sat there. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep. Only when she felt a feeling like she was flying through the clouds did she slowly open her eyes. It turned out that Song Anchen had carried her onto the bed. ¡°I haven¡¯t showered yet,¡± Yisheng said when she landed on the bed. Song Anchen was not wearing his pajamas at the moment. Instead, he had wrapped a towel around his lower body. He was leaning towards Yisheng and if Yisheng moved her hand, she would be able to touch his wet chest. This posture really made her feel embarrassed. Song Anchen¡¯s dark eyes that were like the starry sky looked at her, almost obsessively. They were like a black hole, wanting to suck her in. Yisheng could not stand it and pushed him away, rolling off the bed, ¡°I¡¯ll go take a shower.¡± Song Anchen leaned on his bed with one hand, turning his body to the side to look at Yisheng¡¯s embarrassed posture. He squinted his eyes and smiled. CH 29.2 Yisheng took about an hour to shower, taking her time. When she went back upstairs, the light had turned from a bright white light to a psychedelic orchid-colored light coming from the walls. She saw that Song Anchen had turned to the side, covering himself in the blanket. He did not look like his normal self and had fallen asleep like an infant. Yisheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She took light steps as she walked to the other side of the bed, pulling aside the blankets and lying down. However, Yisheng could not fall asleep. She stared at the white ceiling in a daze, thinking about the bright lights on the surgery table. The lights had been so eye-piercing that she could not even open her eyes. She could only keep crying, bearing the sadness and bitterness alone. Yisheng turned her body and found that Song Anchen had already opened his eyes and was staring at her silently. She had tears in the corners of her eyes, and because Song Anchen saw, she suddenly felt overwhelmed The two of them looked at each other¡¯s eyes, silent. One was stunned, while the other was in deep thought. They stayed like that until Yisheng reached out his hand to gently wipe her tears away, pulling her into his embrace and hugging her tightly. He used so much strength that she felt like she was about to shatter into pieces. He did not speak for a long while. It was only when Yisheng said that it was painful did he loosen his hold. He said deeply, ¡°Yisheng, why can¡¯t you open your heart to me?¡± Yisheng closed her eyes slightly and bit on her lower lip, ¡°Those are all things that happened in the past.¡± She did not know how to explain her ignorance in the past. She did not know what would happen after Song Anchen found out. She could only keep telling herself that that had happened in the past. In the past, she was silly. She had just been a confused young girl. Song Anchen suddenly felt very weak. This whole time, she had been treating him as an outsider. He smiled, ¡°I¡¯m your husband your whole life.¡± (T/N: OH he did a play on words here! In that sentence, he said both the above sentence and I¡¯m your (Yisheng¡¯s) husband. Yisheng¡¯s name means like ¡®one life¡¯/life¡¯, it changes based on context.) Yisheng was stunned for a moment. Song Anchen did not say anything more and lightly patted her back, ¡°Sleep, we still have to go to work tomorrow.¡± However, she stayed in his embrace and refused to leave it. She stammered, ¡°If I can¡¯t ever get pregnant, will you still want me?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s body stiffened, and he frowned. Yisheng seemed to feel a kind of despair. She wanted to leave Song Anchen¡¯s embrace when Song Anchen hugged her. He did not ask her why she could not get pregnant and did not ask her why she was asking him this question. Instead, he simply answered, ¡°I¡¯ll want you.¡± He wanted her, and it was not something that came out of nowhere. It was something that he had felt over the many long years. Yisheng stayed in Song Anchen¡¯s embrace and suddenly started to cry. At that time, when the doctor told her that her abortion might cause tubal inflammation and obstruction, she did not take it to heart. Her period had been normal and she thought that it was nothing. Thus, she had forgotten about that matter. It was only when she slept with Song Anchen during such a fertile period but did not get pregnant did she remember the matter from that time. (T/N: Going to be honest here, I seriously don¡¯t know the medical terms) These were all things that Song Anchen did not know about. He comforted Yisheng¡¯s trembling body and used his embrace to prove himself. He knew that at that moment, Yisheng was very weak. He could not ask her about the matter he did not know about. Many stars were shining that night, quietly shining on the silent room. *** This was their first morning together. When Yisheng woke up, the sky was just turning white. Song Anchen had already changed. When he saw Yisheng sit up from the bed, he smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead, ¡°Good morning.¡± Yisheng pressed her lips together and said, ¡°Good morning,¡± Song Anchen said, ¡°I can¡¯t send you to the hospital today. I need to make a trip to school. Don¡¯t forget to eat your breakfast. The weather is turning cold, so wear more clothes. Oh, if you want to wash up, you can do it upstairs. I threw away your disposable toothbrush downstairs,¡± After he said that, he hurried downstairs. There was the sound of the door closing from downstairs. Yisheng blinked, a little confused. Why was he going to school so early in the morning? She slowly got up and walked to the bathroom on the second floor. She realized that all of the items in the bathroom had doubled. There were two toothbrushes, two towels, and there were even some brand names facewash and makeup products on the washing rack. Song Anchen had prepared everything? Yisheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. It looked like he had truly planned it all out. She looked at the facewash and felt shocked. Song Anchen knew that she had dry skin and had helped her buy some moisturizing face wash/ He was truly very thoughtful. Yisheng shivered and begun to wash up. She did not have the habit of eating breakfast but went to buy breakfast today. She went to work after eating breakfast. Today, Zhao Jixiang was on duty and when she saw Yisheng, she energetically pulled Yisheng over to sit down, ¡°Yisheng, I heard that you were transferred to the surgery department?¡± ¡°Yes, but I need to get Doctor Song¡¯s approval.¡± ¡°I have a certificate, why didn¡¯t they let me transfer?¡± Zhao Jixiang hit her thigh in anger, ¡°I took a test to get a certificate because I wanted to join the surgery department. However, at that time, the competition to become a nurse in the surgery department was too intense. I was worried that I would be unable to enter, so I didn¡¯t join the competition. Sigh, your childhood friend has helped you, and he¡¯ll be able to help you join the surgery department.¡± Yisheng paused, hearing Zhao Jixiang¡¯s sour tone, she did not know what to say and could only smile in response. ¡°Do you know who donated the money for the renovation of the hospital this time?¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly started to gossip. Yisheng shook her head. ¡°The new boss of Boundless Skies. Oh my god, this is simply a fantasy,¡± Zhao Jixiang muttered, ¡°A month ago, the hospital was looking for donations and this boss donated 500 million yuan in one go!¡± Zhao Jixiang reached out her hand and put it in front of Yisheng¡¯s face, her five fingers extended. ¡°Isn¡¯t the expansion of this hospital funded by the state?¡± Yisheng could not help feeling curious. ¡°It¡¯s not funded by the state. It¡¯s funded by the city. Originally, the city was about to allocate 50 million, but it was reduced to 10 million. With that amount, how can the hospital make an expansion? But the hospital had made many plans and had already ordered many pieces of equipment from abroad. They had no other way and asked for donations from the public. Unexpectedly, a rich donator appeared. Yisheng pursed her lips. The boss of Boundless Skies was Song Anchen¡¯s stepfather! Because of that, Yisheng started to feel uneasy. With Song Anchen¡¯s personality, if he knew about this, he would overthink. He was someone with a strong sense of pride. Just when Yisheng was starting to overthink, a nurse appeared at the doorway and yelled, ¡°Yisheng, your mother is looking for you.¡± ¡°Cough¡­¡± Yisheng choked on her saliva. Her mother had passed away six years ago, was it possible that a ghost had come? Suddenly, a well-dressed lady appeared and smiled as she said to Yisheng, ¡°Child bride!¡± Yisheng was shocked. Zhao Jixiang opened her mouth wide in shock and Yisheng choked on her saliva again¡­ Song Anchen¡¯s Mother had suddenly appeared. Yisheng did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing? CH 30.1 Faced with the arrival of Song Anchen¡¯s mother, Yisheng did not know what to do. Yisheng stood up, unsure of what to do, ¡°Auntie.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother walked over with large strides, looking around. When she saw Zhao Jixiang, whose mouth was wide open, she asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is there something on my face?¡± Zhao Jixiang kept shaking her head, ¡°Aren¡¯t you¡­ Boundless Skies¡¯¡­¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother smiled mildly and nodded her head. Zhao Jixiang sucked in some air and looked at Yisheng, stunned, only to see Yisheng awkwardly refuse to look at Zhao Jixiang. Yisheng knew that Zhao Jixiang must want to strangle her right now. She knew the rich donator, but she had pretended to not know anything. But it was true that Yisheng did not know about Song Anchen¡¯s mother donating money beforehand. ¡°Why is auntie here?¡± ¡°I wanted to see Anchen, but he isn¡¯t here,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother scrunched up her brows, the corners of her lips lowering as she shrugged and showed her hands in helplessness. Yisheng chuckled, she did not know what to do. She wanted to greet Song Anchen¡¯s mother properly and ask her to sit down but saw that her colleagues were staring at her with weird gazes like she was an alien. Yisheng looked at her watch, she had only started work an hour ago, and there was still a long while before her shift ended. ¡°Auntie, are you waiting for Younger Brother Song?¡± ¡°Eh? Why are you still calling him Younger Brother Song?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother pointed at Yisheng¡¯s forehead, seeming to be blaming her while teaching her. ¡°I called his father yesterday and he told me that you two are getting married next month.¡± ¡°Pft¡­¡±It was not Yisheng who spat out. Instead, it was the nurse that was drinking water behind Yisheng, and it was because of those words. Zhao Jixiang¡¯s mouth that had just closed fell open again as she looked at Yisheng in disbelief. Yisheng lamented in her heart, she knew that with Song Anchen¡¯s mother¡¯s straightforwardness, something like this would happen. ¡°Please take more care of Yisheng, she¡¯s pregnant, so please help her with some things,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother happily instructed the group of nurses that were standing behind her, shocked. Those nurses were experiencing complicated feelings that they did not know how to put into words. They could only continue drinking water, and choke till they kept coughing. Song Anchen found it a little strange and asked Yisheng, ¡°It seems that all of them really like to drink water.¡± Yisheng could only laugh foolishly. Zhao Jixiang added, ¡°They drank too much vinegar and it hurt their teeth.¡± (T/N: ¡®Vinegar¡¯ here, means jealousy/envy. They were envious and drank too much ¡®vinegar¡¯) Song Anchen¡¯s mother suddenly understood and her face was full of regret, ¡°I should have given birth to a few more Anchens. That way, everyone can have one.¡± Did Song Anchen¡¯s mother think she was the Bodhisattva! Zhao Jixiang suddenly felt like her ability to shock people was nothing compared to Song Anchen¡¯s mother. Yisheng placed her hand on her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. If she really gave birth to more Song Anchens for everyone, that would be a disaster. Demons would be rampant. Song Anchen¡¯s mother held Yisheng¡¯s hand, ¡°I told the head of your hospital that you¡¯ll be getting married soon just now¡­¡± Yisheng had a bad feeling. It was impossible that the hospital would give her a holiday because she was getting married, but if Song Anchen¡¯s mother appeared, given what she did, the head of the hospital might agree to her request. ¡°D?a?m?n? it, I asked him to give you a holiday so that you¡¯ll be able to go to Las Vegas for your honeymoon, but that fellow refused no matter what I said.¡± Yisheng was stunned. As expected, the head of the hospital was really good. ¡°He insisted that Las Vegas was not a good place for a honeymoon and suggested that I have the two of you go to Venice.¡± This time, not only was Yisheng speechless but the other nurses present were also speechless. This hospital head was really¡­ It was their working hours now, so she could not keep chatting. Song Anchen¡¯s mother knew as well and asked for Yisheng¡¯s phone number, saying that she would contact her again before she got on the Maybach and drove off, engine roaring. Song Anchen¡¯s mother was really powerful. She came quietly whistled like a tornado before leaving in a cloud of dust. The whole duty room was extremely quiet it felt strange. When Yisheng returned to the duty room, she felt suffocated. Zhao Jixiang grabbed Yisheng¡¯s arm unhappily, gritted her teeth, and narrowing her eyes as she asked, ¡°Speak, when did you start your relationship with your childhood sweetheart?¡± ¡°A dark and windy night,¡± Yisheng answered honestly. ¡°What were the two of you doing?¡± Zhao Jixiang narrowed her eyes and continued to ask aggressively. Yisheng laughed awkwardly and took a few steps back, ¡°Those kinds of things that are done in collusion.¡± Zhao Jixiang looked around and leaned over to whisper into Yisheng¡¯s ear, ¡°Was it that night in Pattaya?¡± Yisheng was too embarrassed to say that this sort of relationship between her and Song Anchen had happened since she was young and nodded, a little embarrassed. Zhao Jixiang sighed, sitting down and shaking her head, ¡°That¡¯s so lucky, you managed to get together with a great man.¡± Yisheng sniffed, ¡°Why do all of you think that he¡¯s very good?¡± Although she said that she did not think he was very good, but in her heart, she felt that Song Anchen was indeed a good man. He was careful and took responsibility. He did not treat people badly either, and his looks were outstanding. The only bad thing about him was that he liked to tease her too much, which she did not know how to deal with. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense. Just ask any student from our Medical University A, everyone knows Song Anchen, on the school forum, he¡¯s always top on the list when they vote for their dream lover, or dream husband, or even the object of one¡¯s s?e?x?u?a?l? fantasies.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± Yisheng felt a little injured, ¡°Object of one¡¯s s?e?x?u?a?l? fantasies? Gosh, you guys are messing around too much.¡± Zhao Jixiang rolled her eyes at him, ¡°Do you not want to admit that his skills in bed are good?¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turned pale. Compared to when he was young, there was a big difference, it was like he had directly gone straight to the clouds. It was incomparable.¡± ¡°Most doctors are quite good in bed, especially doctors in internal medicine. Song Anchen specialized in tumors and naturally is good,¡± Zhao Jixiang glanced at Yisheng, who was already very pale, ¡°You¡¯ll have a good s?e?x? life in the future.¡± Yisheng trembled. She recalled that night¡¯s drunkenness and wanted to knock her head against the wall. Gosh, she had not considered their future between husband and wife. When Zhao Jixiang said, she was scared that she would die from pleasure in the future. Sigh. CH 30.2 At this moment, the Head Nurse walked over and saw Yisheng, waving her over, ¡°Yisheng, come over here for a moment.¡± Yisheng met Zhao Jixiang¡¯s gaze. Yisheng walked over to the Head Nurse, feeling a little suspicious. ¡°I talked to Doctor Song, he said that it was not suitable for you to go to the surgery department.¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turned pale instantly. The Head Nurse saw that her expression was bad and hurriedly explained, ¡°Actually, although you¡¯ve become a permanent staff member, the nurses in the surgery department require certain professional skills. You¡¯re a student that has just graduated and you need to train for a while more.¡± Yisheng stopped talking and accepted it. The Head Nurse patted her shoulder, ¡°There¡¯ll be other chances in the future.¡± She gave a superficial smile. When it was time to end work, Song Anchen gave her a call. Yisheng asked rudely, ¡°You look down on me so much? Do I not have the qualifications to go to the surgical department?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Song Anchen responded mildly, ¡°Come to the car park, let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back to my own house,¡± Yisheng hung up the phone on the spot, glaring angrily. If she had a beard, she would definitely blow on it. However, before she could exit the hospital compound, a Bentley drove out from behind her and parked in front of her. The window was rolled down and Song Anchen glanced at her, ¡°Get in the car.¡± Yisheng ignored him, wanting to walk off. However, she did not expect Song Anchen to say, ¡°You should know, I can do anything.¡± Yisheng paused instantly and suddenly felt a little uneasy. If she really left like that, she was worried about what Song Anchen would do. She turned her head around and glared at him, but saw Song Anchen smile in response, ¡°Get in the car.¡± That smile definitely had bad intentions. Yisheng gritted her teeth. She was truly worried about what this devil would do, thus, she could only get onto the car reluctantly. When Song Anchen saw her sit down, he smiled and drove out of the hospital. Yisheng asked angrily, ¡°If I left, what would you have done?¡± ¡°Just sigh and drive the car away,¡± Song Anchen joked while driving the car seriously. Yisheng was so angry that she wanted to jump up, ¡°I¡­ You¡­¡± ¡°I know that you love me. You¡¯ve told me before.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± She was already so angry that she could not speak. ¡°I know that I should show you how I feel. Let¡¯s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now,¡± Suddenly, he turned the car and changed his route. Because of inertia, Yisheng toppled towards Song Anchen. Song Anchen stroked her hair, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so happy. Are you falling into my embrace so quickly?¡± ¡°Song Anchen.¡± ¡°Call me hubby.¡± Yisheng glanced at him and started to ignore him. The two of them arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. It was not some special day today, but they still had to queue up. The two of them sat on the seats at the entrance, not speaking. The couple next to them, on the other hand, kept speaking. ¡°Hubby!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? My wife?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so nervous.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just getting a certificate. We just need to stamp the certificate and maintain a smile.¡± ¡°Mmhm,¡± The wife looked at him tearfully and pulled on his hand, smiling sweetly. Yisheng looked at the happy couple next to her and her eyes turned red. She lifted her head to look towards Song Anchen but saw that he was looking at her with the same gaze at that moment. Yisheng¡¯s face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head, no longer daring to continue looking. However, her right hand started to move outwards uneasily, happening to touch Song Anchen¡¯s left hand that was on the chair. ¡°I¡¯m also very nervous,¡± Song Anchen grabbed Yisheng¡¯s hand and held it in both of his hands. Yisheng¡¯s face turned even redder as she looked elsewhere, slightly unnaturally. She happened to see the couple next to them. The wife that was leaning against her husband smiled as she smiled at Yisheng and said, ¡°Older sister, your husband is really pretty and cute, his face is red.¡± Yisheng was shocked. Song Anchen, who had such thick skin, could blush? She turned her head around to look and saw that he had turned his head to the side, a little unnaturally. His white skin had a hint of redness, it was very pinkish. Yisheng could not help but laugh, ¡°You know how to feel embarrassed? Haha.¡± Song Anchen turned around to glare at her. He then pinched Yisheng¡¯s hand that he was holding. Yisheng breathed out and glared angrily at him. Song Anchen smiled and pulled her hand, ¡°Wife, in the future, don¡¯t touch my hand randomly. If you want to touch my hand, let¡¯s wait till we return home. Otherwise, I¡¯ll feel shy.¡± What the heck does he mean by her randomly touching his hand! ¡°Oh, so older sister is also anxious!¡± The wife that was leaning against her husband suddenly got near Yisheng, smiling mysteriously and slyly. Yisheng was both angry and helpless. Song Anchen always refused to be embarrassed in front of others, if anyone had to be embarrassed, it would be her. He was too much! When a couple appeared at the doorway, the couple seated next to Yisheng happily walked in. Yisheng saw that there was no one next to her anymore and glared at him as he scolded, ¡°You only know how to talk rubbish. I didn¡¯t touch you at all.¡± ¡°Mm, I was the one who touched you. I¡¯m the one who applied the force while you¡¯re the one who received the force.¡± ¡°So why did you frame me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that forces come in pairs? The object exerting the force also has a force exerted on it and vice versa,¡± Song Anchen asked Yisheng seriously. He even brought out high school physics, causing Yisheng to be completely speechless. She gritted her teeth and maintain her silence. She had never realized how Song Anchen was so good at speaking, causing people to be unable to defend themselves. The couple from just now walked out happily with red booklets in their hands. The girl winked at Yisheng, ¡°Hurry and get your marriage certificate. After you return home, you can do whatever you want.¡± (T/N: The marriage certificate in China comes in a red booklet~) Yisheng kept silent. Song Anchen stood up first and led Yisheng into the room. The two of them sat next to each other. When the older lady opposite saw the awkward pair of young people, she asked strangely, ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re in the right place?¡± The two of them did not understand. Isn¡¯t this the place to get their marriage certificate? ¡°This is the place to get marriage certificates. The place to get divorced is opposite my room.¡± Song Anchen frowned, ¡°We¡¯re here to get our marriage certificate.¡± Yisheng did not respond. Although the older lady opposite them was feeling suspicious, she helped them with the marriage certificate. After she stamped it, she passed it to the two of them, ¡°You¡¯re welcome to come again.¡± Yisheng and Song Anchen raised their heads to look at the older lady. What did she mean by ¡®you¡¯re welcome to come again¡¯? What would they come back here for? To get divorced? This time, they had a tacit understanding and glared at the lady opposite. ¡°The two of you don¡¯t look as happy as a newly-wedded couple should be,¡± The older lady felt aggrieved and helplessly scrunched up her eyebrows, but her words had a hint of provocation. Song Anchen grasped onto Yisheng¡¯s hand and narrowed his eyes, smiling very brilliantly, ¡°Wife.¡± Yisheng swallowed and saw the older lady raise her head to look at her. It seemed that she was waiting for Yisheng to call Song Anchen hubby, to prove that she came to get married voluntarily. She opened her mouth and wanted to call him hubby, but she could not bring herself to call him that. In the end, Yisheng could only lower her head and say in a very small voice, ¡°Annoying, I know what you want. I won¡¯t give it to you.¡± The older lady opposite them seemed to have been struck by lightning and was dumbfounded. Song Anchen was also shocked by Yisheng¡¯s sudden flirtatious words. Not long after, he gave a wide smile and placed his arm around her shoulder, and stood up. He then leaned down and said tenderly, ¡°Let¡¯s go home now.¡± The older lady got confused, seeing the couple that seemed like enemies when they had first entered the room leave like a pair of inseparable infants. There were many strange people in this day and age¡­ CH 31.1 Yisheng held the marriage certificate in her hand, sitting in the car and playing with it. She occasionally raised her eyes to look at Song Anchen, who was driving the car. She could not help feeling a little shy, the person next to her was her husband now. ¡°Now, there¡¯s no need to peek at me, it¡¯s natural and you can just look at me openly,¡± Song Anchen did not look over. He looked forward and chuckled. Yisheng smiled superficially. He was very good at looking at her from the corner of his eye. From his tone, she could tell that he had seen all the times that Yisheng had peeped at him. This guy had pretended not to see it and let her look at him. Song Anchen curled his lips and smiled, ¡°Right, does what you say just now still apply?¡± Yisheng raised her gaze to look at him, narrowing her eyes slightly, ¡°It does.¡± Song Anchen suddenly braked the car and Yisheng leaned forward due to momentum. She looked at Song Anchen in confusion, why did he suddenly brake the car? She saw that Song Anchen was looking at her with a look of disbelief. Yisheng chuckled, suddenly feeling a little gleeful. He was the one who teased her usually, causing her to be completely speechless. This time, she would let him see her power. However, she had underestimated Song Anchen. Song Anchen pinched her little face suddenly, smiling, ¡°You¡¯re really this anxious! Okay, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± This time, Yisheng was shocked. She had originally wanted to tease Song Anchen. She did not expect that he would take her seriously. She hurriedly waved her hand, ¡°I was joking just now.¡± Song Anchen suddenly realized, ¡°So it¡¯s like that!¡± Yisheng was a little relieved, this matter was probably over now. ¡°But I took it seriously,¡± Song Anchen smiled and blinked his good-looking eyes at her. This caused Yisheng to tremble as if she had been electrocuted. She suddenly remembered what Zhao Jixiang said about Song Anchen being the ¡®subject of people¡¯s s?e?x?u?a?l? fantasies¡¯. Yisheng could not help but look Song Anchen up and down. His figure had no flaws and his face was nice to admire. As for his skill, cough cough, she gave him a hundred marks. Alright, Yisheng finally admitted that she would be able to enjoy an endless amount of s?e?x?u?a?l? satisfaction. When she returned home, Song Anchen carried Yisheng up and brought her to the bed before pressing her onto the bed. Yisheng hurriedly pushed him away, ¡°It¡¯s daytime, it¡¯s not good.¡± Song Anchen raised his eyebrow, ¡°Do you mean that it¡¯s good if it¡¯s at night?¡± Yisheng was suddenly speechless, muttering, ¡°Little Brother Song, I actually want¡­¡± ¡°Call me hubby,¡± Song Anchen leaned down to kiss her, gently kissing her as he said vaguely, ¡°Be good, call me that.¡± Yisheg felt like she was in a warm greenhouse, bathing in the warm spring. She suddenly felt that she was no longer so cold and no longer kept a hold on her thick clothes. Perhaps she had truly seen spring? (T/N: Springtime is kind of like the season of love/mating season) ¡°Hubby!!¡± Yisheng called out, her voice trembling. Song Anchen paused and suddenly hugged Yisheng tightly, gently linking on her sensitive ear, ¡°My wife, congrats on the marriage,¡± After he said that, he put her earlobe in his mouth and slowly put his hand on her waist. The sudden touch caused Yisheng to tremble uncontrollably. After that, there was a sense of familiarity and strangeness that came with it. Yisheng knew¡­ when Song Anchen made a move, who could compete with him? She was about to soar to the skies, and feel like an immortal again. CH 31.2 Yisheng received a call from her father, he asked them when they were free to take leave from work and return to take their wedding photos. Yisheng was fine, but Song Anchen had three surgeries lined up, and he was currently doing some preparation, thus, he was unable to return for the time being. There were many variations on the rumor about Yisheng and Song Anchen getting married. The one that made Yisheng the most speechless was the one that said that the two of them were childhood sweethearts and knew from a young age that they liked each other. At that time, when Song Anchen was in university, he remained very loyal, but she had started to like someone else and ran off with Doctor Yan. It caused Song Anchen to lose confidence in women and start to like guys. However, due to Ye Yisheng¡¯s persistence, Song Anchen once again had hope for women and started to like girls again. When Yisheng heard the rumors that Zhao Jixiang had heard, she did not know whether to laugh or to cry. ¡°Yisheng, you¡¯ve become famous again,¡± Zhao Jixiang adjusted the strands of hair by Yisheng¡¯s ear, ¡°You managed to capture the cold Prince that had been single forever. It is a matter that really makes one angry.¡± Yisheng looked at her from the corner of her eye, ignoring her complaints. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jixiang said, ¡°Did you know? When Luo Luoshi heard the news about how you and Song Anchen were getting married, she got agitated and since she was pregnant, she fainted. Haha, I laughed so hard.¡± ¡°What are you being happy for?¡± ¡°Who asked her to be so arrogant in the past. She said in front of the whole school that only she had the qualifications to chase Song Anchen, no one was allowed to snatch him from her. At that time, when I saw her acting as if she would definitely succeed, I felt angry. Isn¡¯t she just slightly prettier and slightly better at studying? Hmph.¡± Yisheng had not expected Song Anchen to have such an enthusiastic suitor, though it was true that she was a little domineering. ¡°Haha, at that time, Song Anchen¡¯s reply was even better,¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly imitated, Song Anchen¡¯s cold face, ¡°I don¡¯t want to date, I don¡¯t like women.¡± ¡°Pft,¡± Yisheng could not help but laugh, his words were easy for women to misinterpret, no wonder people thought he was gay! ¡°So¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang shrugged, ¡°This is a big tragedy, a proud woman is unable to get what she wants and can only watch as the man she wants gets snatched away, to this kind of woman, it¡¯s like a life-threatening injury.¡± Yisheng smiled, ¡°Then is it an honor for someone like me, who has low self-esteem?¡± She had never thought that she would be able to stand by Song Anchen¡¯s side one day and that her name would be written in Song Anchen¡¯s registry book. In her memory, Song Anchen was always standing at the top, she could only look up at him. He got first in the country in Math Olympics in primary school, and the moment he stood on stage and accepted the award, Yisheng felt that he was flying, getting further and further away from her. After they grew up, he became more and more outstanding and she felt like he was flying higher and higher. It seemed like if she raised her hand, she would be able to touch him, but when she truly reached out a hand to touch him, she suddenly realized that the distance between him and her seemed short but was also very long. ¡°Yisheng, why do you have low self-esteem?¡± Zhao Jixiang did not understand. Yisheng simply smiled but did not answer. In the past, she did have low self-esteem. Her dad had been sent to prison, and she felt even more ashamed. At that time, the person she was most afraid of seeing was Song Anchen. She was scared that if she saw him, she would feel that the distance between them had never been further apart, feeling low self-esteem that was a result from feeling like he was extremely blessed by the Heavens while she was like an ant on the ground. She did not dare to believe even now that she was already his wife. At that moment, Song Anchen walked over from the doorway and passed them the files of the patients, instructing them, the patient on bed 432 needs to start his drip at nine every day, but before you start it, ask him if he¡¯s eaten his medicine. This drip will irritate his stomach.¡± The nurses that were on duty nodded and Song Anchen showed everyone a charming smile, which affected everyone in the duty room. ¡°Sigh, Doctor Song¡¯s charm¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang whispered. Yisheng smiled awkwardly. Song Anchen turned to look at Yisheng, ¡°Ye Yisheng, see you in the canteen in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± After Song Anchen left, Zhao Jixiang imitated Song Anchen sourly, ¡°Ye Yisheng, see you in the canteen in the afternoon. Yuck! You two are disgusting,¡± Zhao Jixiang retched a few times, indicating that her stomach was feeling unwell. Yisheng rolled her eyes at Zhao Jixiang, ¡°Is there something wrong with you recently? Why aren¡¯t you going to find your Xiao Zhuozi?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about him,¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly wilted, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen him for a few days, who knows what he¡¯s doing.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t come to work?¡± ¡°To be more accurate, he didn¡¯t come for his internship. He took two weeks off, I really don¡¯t know what he went off to do.¡± Yisheng pursed her lips, ¡°He didn¡¯t tell you where he was going?¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t even given me a call, of course, he hasn¡¯t told me anything!¡± ¡°Let me help you ask Song Anchen about this.¡± During lunch, Area C of the hospital canteen was once again a place where many nurses and doctors gathered at. Because she did not have an afternoon shift, Zhao Jixiang had directly returned to her condo to eat. Yisheng had arrived quite early and chose a window seat to sit down at. But just when her butt touched the seat, Luo Luoshi came over, her stomach very large, holding a mug in both hands. Yisheng stared at this woman, stunned, not knowing what she was there for. Luo Luoshi smiled and asked, ¡°Can I sit here for a while?¡± ¡°I¡¯m waiting for someone,¡± Yisheng said, feeling slightly awkward. ¡°I won¡¯t take up too much of your time,¡± Luo Luoshi sat down, ¡°I heard that you are going to get married, congratulations.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Yisheng responded politely. However, Luo Luoshi suddenly seemed sad, ¡°It¡¯s so sad that I need congratulate my rival in love.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Song Anchen is really not bad. His devotedness throughout these years has finally shown results,¡± Luo Luoshi held her mug and suddenly became sad, ¡°Do you know that his stomach isn¡¯t good?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°In Year One, when he first came, no one could tell that he was a top student. He smoked, drank, and played pool. He always skipped lessons, and when the professor took attendance, it was always someone else helping him teak attendance,¡± Luo Luoshi became sadder and sadder, ¡°But this sort of person got first place in exams.¡± Yisheng suddenly felt a ripple in her heart. ¡°When I was in university, I was already with the man I¡¯m with now. My family is not rich, but I was prideful. Everyone came from good family background, and to compete with others in terms of wealth, I followed a rich man. I thought that I had everything until the night I returned to school late. In the corner of the school gate, I met Song Anchen, who was squatting by the wall and suffering from stomach pain. He was delirious, and when I went to check up on him, he suddenly yelled at me, ¡°Ye Yisheng, where the hell did you go? I can¡¯t find you.¡± After that, he fainted. At that time, I suddenly realized what I was missing. It was not material goods, it was a certain persistence. It was the first time I saw someone faint in front of me, and in that instant, I was flustered, I found his phone, and perhaps because I was nervous, I saw that his empty multimedia folder had two pictures. Both were photos with the same woman. The remark on the first photo was: I love you, Yisheng. The second photo had the remark: You are my Yisheng.¡± (T/N: ¡®I love you, Yisheng¡¯, could also mean I¡¯ll love you for my whole life (Because of Yisheng¡¯s name, ¡®You are my Yisheng¡¯, could mean ¡®You are my life¡¯. It¡¯s a bit vague, but basically, he¡¯s implying that she¡¯s his everything? Something like that. It¡¯s a little hard to TL this). Yisheng pressed her lips together tightly, not knowing what to say. She could only ask, ¡°Why are you telling me these things?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no particular reason, I simply felt that it is indeed difficult for someone to persist for so many years,¡± Her stomach was very large, and the mug in her hands had steam coming out from it, ¡°I truly liked this man.¡± A trace of loneliness crossed the bottom of Luo Luoshi¡¯s eyes, and she sighed as she left. Yisheng, who was left sitting there, was stunned. Not long after, Song Anchen appeared at the entrance and directly walked to Yisheng¡¯s table, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Just order anything¡­¡± Yisheng suddenly really wanted to find out if this was true. She paused before she said, ¡°Did you bring your phone? I left my phone in the duty room and forgot to bring it over. But I forgot that dad asked me to give him a call in the afternoon.¡± Song Anchen rolled his eyes at her before passing her his phone reluctantly. Then, he grabbed a tray and went to order food. Although Yisheng was not sure if this phone would have the two photos with the remarks, she wanted to know if it was true. This was the first time that Yisheng had touched Song Anchen¡¯s phone. She carefully opened the multimedia folder and realized that there were photos with remarks. It happened that there were only two photos. The first one showed the present she had received, the Teenie Weenie light blue dress. She had hurried to wear it and hugged Song Anchen, wanting to take a photo together. The name of the photo was called memory, and the remark was, I love you, Yisheng. But when she saw the second photo, she was completely stunned. This was the first time she had seen Song Anchen¡¯s shy smile. It was a sunny morning, and it was on the bed that they had their first time on. Song Anchen had a shy smile, and he was covered by the blanket. He smiled and pursed his lips, kissing her while she was in deep sleep. The name of the photo was baby, the remark was, you are my Yisheng. Yisheng did not know why, but she felt like there was a hot stone in her heart, pressing on her chest, making her feel both hot and stuffy. It turned out that what her childhood sweetheart said that day was true, ever since he knew about love, he had loved her. However, she had foolishly thought that her childhood sweetheart was standing above the clouds, at a place that she could not reach. ¡°What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?¡± Song Anchen carried the tray, on it were all kinds of dishes and it looked very delicious. However, Song Anchen¡¯s focus was on looking strangely at Yisheng, who was feeling a little emotional. On the other hand, Yisheng looked at Song Anchen with teary eyes, her watery eyes were so moist she looked like she was about to cry, ¡°So hateful, you¡¯re too horrible.¡± CH 32.1 After Yisheng said that, Song Anchen¡¯s face instantly turned pale. He stared at her watery eyes before he finally asked, ¡°Have you gone crazy?¡± Yisheng pressed her lips together tightly and shook her head at him. Song Anchen carried out a bowl of rice and passed it to her, ¡°If you haven¡¯t gone crazy, eat your food.¡± Yisheng picked up her chopsticks and stuck them into the heap of rice. She occasionally raised her head to look at Song Anchen and saw that he was eating his food normally. On the other hand, Yisheng¡¯s face was burning. She lowered her head and hurriedly ate her rice. When she thought about the remarks on his photos, Yisheng¡¯s heart rate would speed up and she would feel her whole body heat up. Song Anchen raised his head to look at Yisheng, who was hurriedly eating her rice, slightly stunned, ¡°You¡¯re still going crazy?¡± Yisheng glared at Song Anchen, ¡°You¡¯re the crazy one.¡± Song Anchen stared at the rice in Yisheng¡¯s bowl, ¡°You¡¯re acting like a dog that¡¯s wolfing up their food through their snout with completely no care for your appearance.¡± Yisheng ignored him and continued to eat. Song Anchen said, ¡°These few nights, you should just head home first. I¡¯m very busy these few days, I¡¯ll be returning home late.¡± Yisheng knew that Song Anchen was busy with his surgeries recently. After all, it was his first time being the head surgeon, and he needed to take extra care. He could not be careless. This was related to his future career as a doctor. If he does well the first time, his reputation would be better in the future. Yisheng nodded her head at Song Anchen. Song Anchen then lowered his head to continue eating. Yisheng looked at how his thick and curled lashes trembled. She could not see his expression and she took a deep breath before passing his phone back to him. Song Anchen kept his face lowered, but he stopped eating. He stared at the phone in Yisheng¡¯s hand. After a long time, he raised his face, ¡°You¡¯re done with calling your dad?¡± ¡°Mm¡­¡± Yisheng answered unnaturally, ¡°I¡¯m done calling him.¡± Song Anhchen narrowed his eyes and picked up his phone to take a look. He pressed on the phone a few times and then quietly looked at Yisheng. Yisheng blinked and turned away. At that moment, Yisheng¡¯s phone that was in her uniform pocket suddenly rang. Yisheng instinctively took out her phone and got ready to accept the call. When she saw Song Anchen¡¯s name on the incoming call, Yisheng stiffened. ¡°Tell me the truth, what did you take my phone for?¡± Song Anchen put down the phone and looked arrogant. Yisheng pressed her lips together, this man was too sly. ¡°Will you die if I took a look at your phone?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t,¡± Song Anchen smiled, ¡°But I want to know why.¡± Yisheng suddenly started to sweat. She did not want to tell Song Anchen she knew about the photographs. She was scared that this gloomy man would leave in a fit of anger. If this man left in anger, he would make her pay later. Yisheng cleared her throat and said confidently, ¡°I was checking to see if you contact other women.¡± ¡°Did you find anything?¡± Song Anchen kept his phone and leaned back against the chair. His good-looking eyes looked at Yisheng slyly. Yisheng did not look at all and naturally, she would be unable to find anything. Thus, she could only shake her head. ¡°Huh?¡± Song Anchen looked at Yisheng suspiciously, an expression of pity, ¡°You didn¡¯t see the truth.¡± Did his words mean that he had some other woman? Yisheng took a deep breath, preventing herself from losing her temper. She angrily glared at him, grabbing her bowl and chopsticks and eating fiercely. She did not lose her temper on account of her feeling moved upon seeing the photos just now. CH 32.2 After Yisheng finished eating with Song Anchen, she went home alone. She walked on the streets alone slowly and the cold wind blew into Yisheng¡¯s collar, causing her to have goosebumps. It was almost winter. Yisheng raised her gaze to look at the Chinese parasol trees that were losing trees by the side of the road. Yisheng pulled up her collar and did not return home directly, instead, she went to the newly opened shopping mall nearby. She wanted to buy a winter coat for Song Anchen. This newly opened shopping mall was said to be an investment made by a Chinese who missed home and returned to China. This shopping mall had a total of seventeen floors, and the lower floors were for shopping while the upper floors were offices for real estate companies. Yisheng took public transport and headed directly for ¡®Rui Li Mall¡¯. Yisheng had not taken public transport for a very long time. Standing on the crowded bus, she suddenly felt that her life had changed a lot. After she got off the bus, she went to the mall to shop. Because Yisheng was shopping with a goal in mind, she followed the signs and went to the fourth floor to look for shops selling male apparel. This was Yisheng¡¯s first time buying male apparel and when she reached the fourth floor, she blushed. She looked around and saw the large variety of times, a little unused to it. She did not know how she made her way there, she just occasionally looked around and she was attracted to a windbreaker worn by a mannequin. Yisheng could not help but walk over. After she got close, she went to it and touched the windbreaker. The material was not bad, and the pure black color suited Song Anchen¡¯s white skin. Furthermore, this design seemed to have been made especially for Song Anchen¡¯s body. Song Anchen¡¯s body was a typical inverted triangle, along with his slender and tall bone structure, he would be able to wear this windbreaker perfectly, and it would be able to make him seem even taller. It would allow him to seem especially outstanding. Yisheng really liked this windbreaker. She looked at the price tag at the side and could not help but take a deep breath. Over nine thousand¡­ Yisheng¡¯s monthly pay was only around four thousand. This was her pay for two months. Although she no longer wore clothes bought from roadside stores ever since she started work, she had yet to raise her standard this high. Although she knew that the clothes Song Anchen wore were usually more expensive than this, but this coat was still too extravagant for her. She pursed her lips, hesitating. She could only stand next to the mannequin and look at the coat that she could not bear to buy. She had a bit of money in her card, but it was to be used to return the money she owed Uncle Song and to pay for the installment for the house. If she bought this¡­ Yisheng could not decide. ¡°Eh? This is not bad,¡± A tall and beautiful woman that was wearing army green casual pants, a black vest over a beige shirt looked at the coat in front of Yisheng, seeming to be thinking about something. Yisheng took a look at her and felt that this woman had an indescribable kind of aura. Although she had long curly hair that was tied behind her head, she gave people a feeling of wildness. She saw the wild-looking girl directly pull off the coat from the mannequin before she turned to walk towards the counter in-store and get the bill. Yisheng was stunned for a moment before she hurried over to follow the girl in. She had originally been indecisive about whether she should buy that coat, but when she saw someone wanting to buy it, she felt worried and made the decision to buy that coat. (T/N: Not sure if this is a common practice in other places as well, but instead of paying for the item, in big malls, sometimes there¡¯s a counter in-store, they¡¯ll write you a receipt and you take the receipt, leaving the item in the store and go to the cashier outside (usually there are one or two per level), and pay for it before returning to the store to collect the item.) ¡°I want to buy a coat in this style as well,¡± Yisheng said from behind. The wild girl was paying and casually glanced at Yisheng. She did not comment but smiled at Yisheng before she went to the cashier outside to pay. The staff smiled as she told Yisheng, ¡°Our brand is an exclusive store, and we only have one of each piece of clothing. Because the mall has just opened, most of the clothes are fifty percent off. You can choose something else.¡± Yisheng was stunned, so the original price of that coat was not nine thousand, it was eighteen thousand! She casually took a piece of clothing to look at the tag. Then, she looked at the price next to it. As expected, it was fifty percent off. She regretted not buying that coat, because some part of her liked this sort of sale. She gritted her teeth, shamelessly walking over to the wild-looking girl that was queuing up to pay for the coat at the cashier. ¡°Um¡­¡± Yisheng¡¯s expression was awkward as she stood in front of the girl, wanting to open her mouth to ask for the coat. She saw that the girl was surprisingly smart and directly asked, ¡°You want this windbreaker?¡± Yisheng nodded her head. ¡°For your boyfriend?¡± The wild woman smiled as she asked. Yisheng¡¯s face turned red, feeling a little uncomfortable, ¡°It¡¯s for my husband.¡± She was really not used to calling Song Anchen her husband, but that was the truth, and if she did not call him that, it would be strange. The wild woman pursed her lips, looking a little troubled. Yisheng asked, ¡°Who are you giving it to?¡± ¡°I just bought it to keep it as part of my collection,¡± That wild woman smiled, ¡°How do I say it? I feel like the requirements for a person to wear this coat properly are quite high. First, the wearer¡¯s figure must be good. Second, the person wearing it must have good looks, otherwise, it would not look good. Thirdly, I don¡¯t want the person wearing this coat to be a poor person spending beyond their means just to look good.¡± Her words were a little mean, and they seemed to be directed at Yisheng. Yisheng understood that the clothes she was wearing were a little out of place in this high-class mall. It was like a nouveau riche wearing a gold chain, although they were rich, there was a vulgar feeling that emitted from the person itself. Yisheng did not get angry and instead smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my husband fits all of your criteria.¡± The wild woman looked her up and down, obviously not really believing her. However, Yisheng stood by her side. After Yisheng¡¯s said those words, it was obvious that it would be hard for the woman to deny her. The wild woman could only pass her the receipt and added, ¡°I hope that you¡¯ll be able to let me realize one day that this coat did not go to waste and managed to show its full potential.¡± After she said that, she had a crooked smile before she left. Yisheng looked at her back, feeling troubled. She suddenly felt that this woman was a little too arrogant. She squeezed on the receipt in her hand and took a deep breath. Nine thousand was worth it. The original price was eighteen thousand, it was cheaper by nine thousand! Yisheng encouraged herself to spend the money. However, when she kept convincing herself, she heard the wild woman shout, ¡°Ruohan.¡± Yisheng turned her head and looked over. She saw Lin Ruohan walk over from the escalator, holding a few bags. She smiled lightly at the woman, ¡°Did you get any male clothing for your collection?¡± ¡°I did find something, but I let someone else have it,¡± The woman laughed and held Lin Ruohan¡¯s arm, ¡°Did you buy a lot of clothes again?¡± ¡°Mm, I just want to wear them.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng did not continue listening to their conversation. She only knew that that wild woman had a good relationship with Lin Ruohan, they were probably best friends. She thought that best friends would probably talk about everything. She wondered if Lin Ruohan told that woman about the matter that had happened to the three of them. Yisheng also wondered if she would meet that woman in the future. Yisheng could not help but tightly grasp onto the little receipt, feeling a little troubled. It was truly hard to predict some matters. CH 33.1 After Yisheng met Lin Ruohan again, she found that this woman was a lot calmer compared to before. She no longer had the arrogance and disdain from her youth in her eyes. Perhaps it varied from person to person, but towards the wild woman, she did not see the side of Lin Ruohan she had seen in the past. After she finished buying the windbreaker for Song Anchen, Yisheng did not dare to stay any longer and headed straight home. Her wallet could not afford the expenses of buying the clothes there. When she left the mall, she walked towards the entrance and saw a group of people wearing formal suits in front. The person in front was very tall and had a large figure, the aura he exuded was one of indescribable composure. He looked noble and when Yisheng walked past him, she felt a little stuffy. She seemed to have seen this person before, but she was unable to recall who the man was. The man leading the group of people stopped walking. The people in suits that were following him also stopped. The man turned around to look at Yisheng¡¯s back, narrowing his eyes slightly, but not opening his mouth. Instead, he simply continued to stare at her back as she walked further and further away. ¡°Manager, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± There was a shallow smile at the corner of the man¡¯s mouth and he turned around to continue walking towards the lift. *** When she reached home, it was only seven-thirty. Yisheng returned home alone. When she looked at the empty living room, she suddenly felt bored. She walked to the sofa and threw the stuff she was holding down before she sat down and started to watch the television. She did not know why she suddenly felt so bored. It was like she was waiting for Song Anchen to return. She watched the clock tick and it was when the minute and hour hands of the clock became a right-angle and showed that it was exactly nine o¡¯clock, her eyelids suddenly felt heavy and she held the windbreaker in her hands as she hung her neck down and fell asleep. There was the sound of the door opening. Yisheng was suddenly energized and jumped up, happening to see Song Anchen, who was opening the door and entering the apartment. As soon as Song Anchen entered the house, he saw Yisheng standing by the sofa, her eyes widened as she looked at him. ¡°Why are you standing here in such a foolish manner?¡± Song Anchen removed his shoes and arranged them properly before he walked to Yisheng, bending down and wanting to kiss her. However, Yisheng avoided it. Yisheng said awkwardly, ¡°I fell asleep watching the television, and when I heard the sound of the door opening, I was scared.¡± Song Anchen was distracted, his gaze turning to the clothes in Yisheng¡¯s hand. He stared at it for a very long time and Yisheng could not help tightening her arm and bit her lips, no longer daring to move. Song Anchen suddenly raised his hand, pinching the corner of his eyes, his expression one of tiredness, ¡°Don¡¯t watch the television till too late, sleep earlier.¡± After he said that, he walked upstairs alone. Yisheng pursed her lips, looking at the windbreaker in her hand reluctantly. Even though she wanted to give him a present, she was unable to bring it up. And he saw it, but did not ask her about it. Yisheng followed him upstairs and heard the sound of the washroom door closing, the sound of water coming from inside. Some people said that the sound of water could cause one to feel self-control, but Yisheng felt even more restless. She thought about how they were going to sleep on the same bed today and felt a little uneasy. Not long after, Song Anchen finished showering and walked out. He held a towel in one hand and wiped his hair as he used his other hand to tie the silk belt around his waist. His hair that had water droplets in it emitted a faint fragrance, and his deep and starry eyes looked towards Yisheng, shining. Yisheng could not deal with this sort of Song Anchen. Song Anchen was very good-looking, but if his expression was rigid, she would be able to distance herself from him, but when he looked at her with such a unique focus and intensity, Yisheng¡¯s heart rate would increase and she would feel like her brain was lacking oxygen. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take a shower?¡± Song Anchen slowly walked over and sat next to her, passing her the towel, wanting her to help him dry his hair. Yisheng took the towel and messed up her hair, she did not use a lot of strength but was not gentle either. Song Anchen did not say anything, an arm casually wrapped around her waist as he leaned towards her. ¡°Don¡¯t get so close,¡± Yisheng leaned away from him in time to avoid whatever he was plotting, ¡°I¡¯m drying your hair.¡± Song Anchen hummed in acknowledgment, but continued to lean towards her, leaning against her neck and sniffing. He said very sensationally, ¡°I like this scent.¡± Every time he breathed, hot air would land on her sensitive neck, and it made her feel itchy and distracted. Yisheng could not help but tremble, withdrawing as she tried to get out of his grip. However, unexpectedly, Song Anchen directly jumped on her, his free hand pulling away from the cloth in Yisheng¡¯s hand before moving downwards. ¡°You¡¯re probably very tired today,¡± Yisheng mumbled, but her face was already extremely red. They were very close and she could even smell the scent of shower gel on his body and feel the heat from him, along with the changes to his lower body. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a little tired,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s dexterous fingers moved about on Yisheng¡¯s body. Every time he reached a spot, he would exert a gentle force or properly caress the spot. It caused Yisheng to feel like there was an electric current flowing through her body, numbing her. Unknowingly, her clothes had been opened by Song Anchen, exposing a sexy black bra. ¡°Don¡¯t,¡± Yisheng crossed her arms in front of her shyly, stopping him from doing whatever he wanted. She saw that Song Anchen stopped moving, staring at her with his deep eyes, not even blinking. Yisheng¡¯s heart felt rattled by his meaningful gaze. ¡°You¡¯re very tired,¡± Yisheng added a reason for rejecting him. However, Song Anchen removed the clothes on his body and leaned down, ¡°I want to feel even more tired.¡± CH 33.2 After the matter, Yisheng concluded. When a man said that he was tired, the woman could not allow him to feel even more tired, because the person who would feel tired in the end was the woman. She was a living example. The total number of times she had made love with Song Anchen before this was not as many as the number of times he had her that night. It was a tiring method from a beast who wanted to feel even more tired. The next day, she just could not bring herself to get out of bed. She stretched and felt like her bones were creaking. There was no one next to her. After a beast finished doing his beastly things, he wore his clothes and looked well-dressed, but he was actually a beast in human clothing. Yisheng went downstairs and saw that Song Anchen was properly attired as he stood in the kitchen and made breakfast. When he heard the sounds, he turned around and smiled, ¡°Morning.¡± Song Anchen looked like he was in good spirits! Yisheng sat on the chair at the dining table and stared at his busy figure. She did not know why but her chest felt very tight. When Song Anchen carried the breakfast he had made over, Yisheng suddenly felt her nose scrunch up involuntarily. That was a distant memory now. She gazed at the black bean glutinous rice porridge in her bowl that Song Anchen had cooked, lost in her memories. That was when they were very young, the two of them had just started junior high school, and although it was already September, the sun was still shining brightly, and the ground was burning hot. They would always leave school together, even when one of them was on duty to clean the classroom. That day, it was Yisheng¡¯s turn to clean the classroom. Song Anchen sat at his seat, doing his homework as he waited for her. For some reason, Yisheng¡¯s stomach hurt and she slumped at her seat, not moving. Song Anchen placed his pen down and asked her what happened. She simply said that she had a stomach ache and could not sweep the floor. Song Anchen stopped doing his homework and helped her do her duty. After he did that, he asked her to stay at her seat to wait for him, that he would be back quickly. On such a hot day, when he returned, his forehead was already covered in sweat, and he held a black bean glutinous rice porridge as well as some clothes she did not recognize. At that time, he was still young and his face was red as he brought the porridge and placed it in front of her, ¡°Your skirt is red.¡± She turned her head back to look and noticed that her white skirt had a red stain. It was her first time having her period and she did not know anything. ¡°When my mom is in pain, she drinks hot porridge. She said that this sort of porridge is the best for women,¡± He nudged the porridge, his expression embarrassed. Yisheng could still remember the feeling of drinking hot porridge on a hot day. Her whole body felt hot and her heart felt flustered. When the clothes that he had borrowed from the uncle in the reception room were wrapped around her waist, Yisheng realized that Song Anchen had been the one to take care of her during her first period. She had not thought about this memory before, and when she recalled it now, Yisheng could not help but smile. Song Anchen was someone that was closely intertwined with her life. Sometimes, things that she had forgotten, he would remember. Perhaps, this was a part of his life. Song Anchen sat down, ¡°After you¡¯re done drinking, let¡¯s go to work.¡± Yisheng glanced at him, ¡°Aren¡¯t you on vacation today?¡± Song Anchen suddenly smiled at her, raising his eyebrows, and looking at Yisheng with a pair of affectionate eyes, ¡°If I can¡¯t finish the work I have, I can¡¯t get married.¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turned red, ¡°Aren¡¯t we already married?¡± Song Anchen smiled, ¡°I still owe you a wedding.¡± After he said that, he scooped a mouthful of rice and fed it to Yisheng. Yisheng hurriedly stopped him, ¡°I can do it myself.¡± Needing to be fed by someone was way too unreasonable. After the two of them finished eating, they went to work together. What caused Yisheng to feel shocked was that the coat that Song Anchen took from the sofa was the windbreaker that Yisheng bought yesterday? She watched in shock as Song Anchen put on the windbreaker. He was too much. It was a gift that she had given him, he should at least say thank you! When Song Anchen saw her anger, noticing that she was glaring at him, he said very innocently, ¡°I gave you your return gift yesterday.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng wanted to refute his words, but she could not find the words to refute. He did give it his all yesterday, but¡­ She was not the only one who enjoyed it! Yisheng was so angry she wanted to stamp her feet. Song Anchen was a man who never let himself be at a disadvantage! *** It turned out that Song Anchen had finished an operation yesterday. He arranged another operation today. He would be able to finish the rest in three days, and he could then take a vacation. In other words, in less than a week, they could hold their wedding banquet. They had originally been driving well, and they only needed to drive around ten minutes to return home. However, at a corner, a red sports car suddenly drove out of the alley. Song Anchen¡¯s driving skills were good and he instantly braked and turned the car, avoiding a small accident. However, the driver of the red sports car seemed to either lack skills or was frantic, and directly drove into the parasol car on the sidewalk. Yisheng looked at the red sports car, ¡°Should we get down and take a look?¡± ¡°You can stay seated, I¡¯ll go out and take a look,¡± After he said that, Song Anchen got off the car. The person from the red sports car also got out. It was a woman wearing military pants, a black leather jacket with a lot of things hanging off her. Yisheng could only say that she looked a bit like a punk. Why did Yisheng feel that this woman looked so familiar? She could not help but feel shocked. Wasn¡¯t this the wild-woman from yesterday that let her have the windbreaker? Isn¡¯t she Lin Ruohan¡¯s best friend? Yisheng could not hear the conversation that was happening between Song Anchen and that woman. When Song Anchen turned around and pointed at Yisheng, that wild-looking woman waved at Yisheng. Yisheng suddenly felt that it was strange, what were they talking about? The two of them did not talk for a very long time and Song Anchen soon returned. Yisheng asked, ¡°What were the two of you talking about?¡± ¡°She said that you have very good taste,¡± Song Anchen glanced at Yisheng, a faint smile on the corner of her lips. ¡°Ah? Why did she say that?¡± ¡°Because you got married to a man like me,¡± Song Anchen continued to smile. Yisheng on the other hand was unable to smile. She could not help but turn around to look at that woman but noticed that the woman¡¯s gaze was still directed towards them. This caused Yisheng¡¯s heart to feel uneasy, her face turning red. Her instinct and logic told her that when a woman¡¯s gaze was fixed on a man she did not know for more than five seconds, she either liked him or was fantasizing about something. CH 34.1 Translated by: Cherry When Yisheng reached her workplace, she saw Zhao Jixiang, who had cried till her eyes were swollen. Zhao Jixiang sat on the duty room chair sullenly, staring at the table and crying silently. This was the first time Yisheng had seen Zhao Jixiang with an expression that was not a smile. Yisheng had arrived early today, and there were no other nurses in the duty room, only Zhao Jixiang was there. Yisheng walked over and patted Zhao Jixiang¡¯s shoulder. She saw Zhao Jixiang raise her head and look at Yisheng tearily, looking like she had suffered many grievances. ¡°Jixiang, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Yisheng could not help but look at Zhao Jixiang worriedly. Zhao Jixiang simply pulled on Yisheng¡¯s sleeve, rubbing her nose on it, ¡°I want to break up with Xiao Zhuozi.¡± ¡°Ah? What?¡± Yisheng was completely shocked. She did not expect Zhao Jixiang to sniff her nose furiously, frowning as she said, ¡°He¡¯s inhumane. He got together with me and wants to contact his ex-girlfriend, and he even kept it from me.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°After he broke up with me, he got together with his high school classmate from his hometown again! I thought that he was the devoted kind, I didn¡¯t expect him to find new love so quickly,¡± Zhao Jixiang despised it. Yisheng was a little shocked, she had not expected Xiao Zhuozi to be that kind of person, perhaps there was some misunderstanding? When Zhao Jixiang saw Yisheng¡¯s expression of disbelief, she got even more worked up, ¡°He got back together with me, but he¡¯s still concerned about his ex-girlfriend, what does he take me as?¡± Yisheng frowned as well, feeling that what Xiao Zhuozi did was truly not good. ¡°Your childhood sweetheart is still better. He¡¯d rather let people mistake him to be gay than betray you. He protected his virginity for you,¡± Zhao Jixiang sighed suddenly, her tears were pouring out like a water faucet. ¡°Then can you truly bear to break up with him?¡± Yisheng asked tentatively. Zhao Jixiang nodded her head, not even blinking once, ¡°I¡¯ll definitely break up with him.¡± ¡°Zhao Jixiang!¡± Suddenly, someone appeared at the doorway, it was Xiao Zhuozi. He had yet to change into his white coat and was walking towards Zhao Jixiang, looking wild, ¡°I¡¯ve explained to you so many times now, that the relationship between me and that woman is in the past.¡± Zhao Jixiang ignored him, turning such that her back was facing him. Xiao Zhuozi harrumphed, ¡°She came to City B with no one to rely on. Her leg is injured and she¡¯s unable to live properly. I¡¯m taking care of her as a friend.¡± ¡°Get lost. Do you know how disgusting it is to keep an ambiguous relationship with your ex-girlfriend?¡± Zhao Jixiang was also angry. She looked at Xiao Zhuozi with a look of despise, ¡°Don¡¯t make yourself sound so holy and kind, you should know what you are thinking.¡± Xiao Zhuozi tried his best to control his anger and took a deep breath, ¡°Have you experienced helplessness? Have you experienced the helplessness when someone you truly love leaves you?¡± Yisheng knew that Xiao Zhuozi was truly angry. Or perhaps this was something that he was sensitive about. In the past, Zhao Jixiang had ditched him and broken up with him. When a man was helpless, they would use other methods to get rid of their helplessness. And Xiao Zhuoxi¡¯s method was to enter another relationship. Zhao Jixiang covered her ears and refused to listen, the faucet that had been tightened instantly broke and she started to cry badly. Xiao Zhuozi seemed to feel even less energetic. He simply said, ¡°You can do whatever you want. If you want to break up, let¡¯s break up.¡± After he said that, he left the duty room without even turning back. Zhao Jixiang instantly slumped on the table and started to cry. Yisheng could only stand on the spot, quietly watching Zhao Jixiang cry. If there was such a day where Song Anchen had too intimate a relationship with another woman, she did not know what she would feel. Would she cry like Zhao Jixiang and want to break up, or would she calmly face it and ask thoroughly? Song Anchen did his second surgery today. Yisheng had already finished work, but she wanted to wait for him. He was not the one who asked her to, but she was the one who took the initiative to. When Song Anchen finished his surgery, his eyes were sore and he rubbed the corner of his eyes as he headed back to the consulting room. He had just entered the consulting room when he saw Yisheng had already changed and was sitting on the consulting room¡¯s waiting chair. Song Anchen was shocked, ¡°Why are you here? You haven¡¯t gone back yet?¡± ¡°I was waiting for you,¡± Yisheng stood up and poked her tongue out. Song Anchen¡¯s gaze turned dark instantly. His pair of eyes that seemed to speak sparkled brighter than the lights. He smiled and removed his surgical suit and hung it on the door, ¡°The weather has become colder these few days.¡± Yisheng looked at him, confused. Song Anchen put on the windbreaker that Yisheng bought for him, and walked to stand in front of her, raising his hand to put it on her collar. Yisheng instinctively ducked away but Song Anchen insisted on reaching out to her collar, helping her pull her collar together and saying seriously, ¡°Let¡¯s go out to buy some clothes.¡± Yisheng looked at him, not understanding what was going on. She helped him buy clothes yesterday, could it be that he did not like the clothes that she bought and wanted to buy one himself? Yisheng was confused and muttered, ¡°Isn¡¯t this outfit nice? You want to buy more clothes?¡± Song Anchen hugged her, her expression was amused, ¡°I want to buy something for you.¡± ¡°Eh? I have clothes, there¡¯s no need,¡± Yisheng heard that he was not despising her clothes, and felt a lot better. Song Anchen leaned down and said something by her ear, causing Yisheng¡¯s whole face to turn red and she obediently followed Song Anchen. Song Anchen said, ¡°You don¡¯t have enough clothes for me to tear them up, let¡¯s buy some to stand by.¡± *** Song Anchen directly drove to Rui Li Mall. When Yisheng saw that building, she could not help but be stunned. The clothes in this mall were extremely expensive, if he was buying the clothes here to rip them to satisfy Song Anchen¡¯s special hobby, wasn¡¯t it such a waste? Yisheng tried to make a last attempt to get out of it but was pulled back by Song Anchen. Song Anchen looked at her, not understanding what was going on. ¡°The clothes here are very expensive.¡± Song Anchen frowned and sat up properly to raise his brows and look at her. Yisheng could only look at Song Anchen, ¡°We are at the mall¡­¡± ¡°Darling,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s sexy lips curved, and his good-looking eyes and brows relaxed as he patted the back of her hand, ¡°Expensive clothes are harder to tear but don¡¯t worry, your husband¡¯s skills are good enough to rip them. I promise to satisfy you.¡± After he said that, he did not look at Yisheng¡¯s pale face and directly got off the car. Yisheng sat in the car, stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. His words made her sound like she was a lustful woman! But he made himself seem very innocent. CH 34.2 The female section was on the third floor. The two of them walked around, one in front of the other, and looked around. They seemed quite serious. The staff today had a much better attitude than last time Yisheng was there. As long as Yisheng and Song Anchen went close to their counter, the staff would enthusiastically introduce their items. Yisheng could not help but feel troubled, why were their attitudes so different when she came here with Song Anchen? It was only when she was trying on clothes in the changing room when she heard the two salespeople chat at the doorway. Only then did she know what was going on. It turned out that the current boss of this mall was going crazy recently often coming down to walkabout. That was why everyone in the building was acting so gently lately. Yisheng was wearing a pink and brown plaid nylon coat with double-row buttons. Yisheng liked this coat instantly. But when she came out, she saw the salesperson holding a long plaid button-up shirt with a suit vest. ¡°Beauty, your husband chose the most fashionable suit for you this autumn, it can make you look taller and especially thin.¡± Yisheng walked to Song Anchen and said to Song Anchen, ¡°I quite like what I¡¯m wearing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good,¡± Song Anchen just glanced at it and responded in that manner. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°It has two rows of buttons, it¡¯s hard to unbutton,¡± Song Anchen took the outfit from the employee¡¯s hand, and stuffed it to Yisheng, ¡°This is not bad.¡± She did not like it and muttered, complaining, ¡°It¡¯s also very hard to unbutton one row of buttons.¡± Song Anchen leaned to her ear and whispered, ¡°The buttons of this outfit are far apart, it¡¯ll open as soon as I pull it. It¡¯s not bad.¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes and faced with Song Anchen¡¯s teasing, she was truly speechless. When Song Anchen noticed Yisheng¡¯s eye roll, he did not say anything more, ¡°You can make the choice.¡± When she wore that outfit, she was truly a little shocked. It was much better looking than the outfit she had worn just now? The salesperson next to Yisheng kept praising this outfit, saying that it suited her very much and made her skin seem extremely smooth and glowy, saying that it made her look slender. Yisheng had originally felt that it looked quite good, and after the salesperson praised her, she felt excited and she liked this outfit a lot more than the checkered double button coat from before. She looked at Song Anchen and saw that Song Anchen nodded at her. Yisheng picked up the tag to look at the price and was speechless. A checkered button-up shirt was more than 2300 RMB and the suit vest was 5998 RMB. ¡°Is it still half-off today?¡± Yisheng could not help but ask. ¡°The sale ended yesterday.¡± Yisheng was still stunned about the sale ending so fast when Song Anchen passed the card to the salesperson, ¡°I¡¯ll pay with this card.¡± After the salesperson took the card and walked away, Yisheng said excitedly, ¡°Ah, that¡¯s the first edition of the gold credit cards in the country. How did you get it?¡± ¡°You want one? I can help you get one next time,¡± Song Anchen was still smiling when his phone suddenly rang. Song Anchen picked up the phone and his expression turned serious instantly. He only responded with a simple ¡®alright¡¯ before hanging up. ¡°You can continue shopping around for a while more. Return home when it gets dark. Something happened to the patient I¡¯m in charge of in the hospital and I have to go first.¡± Yisehng watched as Song Anchen left, starting to feel anxious. It was really not easy being a doctor. Song Anchen, who had a very regular sleep schedule and lived healthily had lost weight because he was busy with the surgeries recently. He had been extremely busy with work. After Yisheng bought that outfit, she no longer wanted to stay there. She lowered her head and waited for the lift. She had just pressed the button for the third floor when the lift door opened suddenly. A man was standing inside, he was wearing a grey suit and a white button-up shirt that looked different. Below his sword-like brows were a pair of shocked eyes. He was looking at Yisheng in shock but very quickly, he smiled, ¡°Yisheng, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Yisheng looked at this man with the same shocked gaze. She was trying to recall, and one face seemed to match the man¡¯s face but she was not sure. Hence, she asked tentatively, ¡°He Jin?¡± He smiled. It was obvious that she was correct. Yisheng was shocked by her guess and even felt like she was dreaming. The heartless boy who got violent easily was truly the man standing in front of her with an elegant and steady aura? The two of them chose to sit in the revolving restaurant on the top floor. He Jin said, ¡°It¡¯s been almost seven years since we last met, you¡¯ve not changed.¡± Yisheng sat opposite him, feeling a little uneasy from his gaze. She laughed awkwardly, ¡°You¡¯ve changed a lot.¡± He Jin smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been out in society for a few years, I definitely had to change.¡± Yisheng raised the cup in front of her and took a sip, not answering. The man in front of her was no longer the young teenager who kept grumbling to her in high school, and she was no longer the girl who was full of romantic notions. She accidentally saw the ring on his left ring finger and could not help but ask, ¡°You¡¯re married?¡± He Jin followed her gaze and looked at his left ring finger. He slowly twisted the ring, ¡°It¡¯s just a cover to prevent people from disturbing my life. Being unmarried has become some kind of burden.¡± Actually, a married man could still have a very interesting life, it was just up to one¡¯s interpretation. ¡°What about you? Do you have a boyfriend yet?¡± He Jin said the words in a very normal tone. It was as if he thought that Yisheng would not have a boyfriend at such a young age. There was a trace of an unfathomable smile in the depths of his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m already married, I¡¯ll be holding my wedding in half a month,¡± Yisheng answered honestly. CH 35.1 When He Jin heard Yisheng¡¯s answers, his eyes suddenly dimmed. He tried his best to smile, ¡°I¡¯ll attend your wedding and take the chance to get to know the groom, to see who was so unfortunate to have married you.¡± Yisheng puffed up her cheeks, ¡°Your mouth is still so poisonous.¡± ¡°Haha,¡± He Jin smiled lightly, picking up the cup in his hand and taking a sip from it. His eyes seemed to be covered by a fog, which made him seem elusive. ¡°Actually, you know the groom.¡± He Jin froze and slightly raised his gaze, raising his eyebrow. He looked at Yisheng with a meaningful look. Yisheng had a very calm expression, and she calmly picked up her cup and took a sip of red tea, ¡°He¡¯s Song Anchen.¡± What Yisheng had expected to happen did not happen. She thought that He Jin would be shocked before mocking her. But he was too calm and he continued to pick up the cup and move it to his mouth. His tone was calm as he said faintly, ¡°The two of you are finally together? That must have been difficult.¡± This shocked Yisheng. With He Jin¡¯s personality, he would definitely laugh and scold her for getting back together with someone she ended things with. But the moment he heard they had gotten together, he did not have any emotions, instead, it was like he had heard something very normal. He Jin said, ¡°Is Song Anchen still the same as he was in the past? Is he still the warm prince that was high up above everyone else?¡± Yisheng smiled and said, ¡°He hasn¡¯t changed much in terms of looks, it¡¯s just that¡­¡± Yisheng felt that Song Anchen was becoming more and more sinister. In the past, she had not been able to read him well, but she would at least be able to read some signs. But now, she was always in panic and could not read him no matter what. He Jin raised his eyebrows, waiting for Yisheng to finish speaking. ¡°I can¡¯t read him,¡± Yisheng held herself back for a long time and only said those five words, but those five words were truly what she felt about Song Anchen. He Jin hummed, then said extremely sarcastically, ¡°Who can you read?¡± Yisheng was stunned. He Jin placed his hand on his forehead and laughed, seeming a little amused. He was very apologetic for his words, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t need to see through him, you just need to know if he loves you. If you see through him too well, it might not be a good thing.¡± Yisheng lowered her head. She felt that Song Anchen probably liked her, but she was unsure because he had never told her before that he loved her. She was not the kind of person that dared to assume things. She even felt that their marriage was him taking responsibility. *** The two of them did not stay too long in the revolving restaurant for very long. Only an hour later, the two of them went down. He Jin insisted on sending Yisheng back and Yisheng agreed. In high school, Yisheng knew that He Jin was rich and his parents were overseas. As soon as he graduated, he migrated overseas to take his MBA. Now, he was the legal representative of the largest investment project in City A, the boss of Rui Li Corporation. Yisheng could not help but smile, how could she have known that the rascal from school would become so successful? When she sat on the Maybach, Yisheng asked, ¡°Why did you return to China?¡± ¡°My father wanted to return to China for investment, but the French side was keeping him there, so he had me come to China, but I¡¯m not staying for a long time,¡± He Jin stared forward, an unwarranted depth in his eyes. His expression was also quite indifferent. This made Yisheng feel that time was truly something magical. Why did all the men she knew suddenly become so good at hiding their emotions? ¡°Why aren¡¯t you staying for long?¡± Yisheng casually asked. ¡°There¡¯s no reason for me to continue staying in China,¡± He Jin¡¯s fleeting smile stunned Yisheng. He Jin hesitated for a moment, before he suddenly asked, ¡°Yisheng.¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Yisheng turned her face to the side to look at him. ¡°Back then¡­ help me tell Song Anchen that I let him down.¡± Yisheng smiled and said, ¡°What did you do?¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for me, that wouldn¡¯t have happened to Lin Ruohan, causing his family to fall apart. Of course, the person I¡¯m most apologetic to is Lin Ruohan,¡± He Jin smiled, full of helplessness. His two hands that were holding the steering wheel were trembling. When Yisheng saw this, she felt her chest tighten for some reason, she had thought of something unpleasant. He Jin sent Yisheng to her block and took a look around Ling Tian Estate. He smiled and said, ¡°As expected of the best residential estate in this city.¡± ¡°Come up and take a seat next time,¡± Yisheng smiled at him. ¡°Why not today?¡± He Jin smiled teasingly as if waiting for Yisheng to feel awkward. As expected, Yisheng blushed and muttered, ¡°It¡¯s already late at night, it won¡¯t be good for you to come up.¡± ¡°You¡¯re scared of Song Anchen catching you?¡± He Jin nodded his head in understanding, ¡°That fellow is a jealous person. He might do even crazier things than he did in high school.¡± Yisheng was stunned for a moment. In her memory, Song Anchen and He Jin barely had any interactions. What did he mean by what Song Anchen did in high school? ¡°What happened in high school?¡± Yisheng asked curiously, but it was obvious that it was a slip of the tongue and he immediately turned silent, changing the topic, ¡°I¡¯ll visit you another day. You can go up, I¡¯ll return home.¡± Yisheng saw that he did not want to talk about the matter and did not continue asking. She watched him leave, but she was still curious. What exactly happened between Song Anchen and He Jin? That night, Yisheng wanted to wait for Song Anchen to return home, but she fell asleep. When she woke up, she saw that Song Anchen was already beside her pillow. His appearance was always pleasing and made her heart beat faster. Sometimes, Yisheng felt like she was dreaming, having such a man. She wanted to hide him somewhere a long time ago, to keep him to herself. When she returned, it felt like she had been dreaming for a very long time, and her dream came true. The man by her pillow was the one that she had been dreaming of for so long. She could not help raising a hand to touch his face. The corner of her lips turned upwards, this man was hers. She could keep him to herself, and touch him when she wanted to, look at him when she wanted to. In the past, something that she had always longed for, she could now do publicly. Her one-sided feelings had borne fruit. She was enjoying the moment, but she was too emotional and it affected Song Anchen, who was in a deep sleep. He could not help but frown and moved a little. Yisheng was shocked and stared at him in fear that he would wake up. But in the end, Song Anchen finally opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yisheng looking at him with big eyes, blinking at him. It was like he was originally a cloth doll that had suddenly come alive. CH 35.2 ¡°You¡¯re up so early?¡± Song Anchen raised his arm and covered his forehead. With his other hand, he brought Yisheng closer and said lazily, ¡°Did you have a dream just now? Why are you laughing so slyly?¡± Yisheng hurriedly denied it, saying guiltily, ¡°I didn¡¯t, you were dreaming.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Song Anchen tightened his embrace and brought Yisheng into his arms. He lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance in her hair, muttering, ¡°Wife, I had a dream just now.¡± ¡°Hm? What did you dream of?¡± Yisheng¡¯s face turned red instantly and she used both her hands to press against Song Anchen¡¯s body, very embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you if you call me hubby,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s hand started to move around on Yisheng¡¯s back. It caused Yisheng to turn even redder. She gritted her teeth and heard the strong heartbeat by her ear. It was very irregular. She felt confused, her heart was beating faster, but why was Song Anchen¡¯s heart beating so fast as well? ¡°Hubby,¡± Yisheng hid shyly in Song Anchen¡¯s arms, asking in a small voice, ¡°What kind of dream did you have?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Song Anchen suddenly flipped over and pressed down on her, narrowing his eyes with an extremely ambiguous expression. Yisheng suddenly realized that she had been tricked. What he said did not refer to his dream, instead, it was something he wanted! Yisheng blushed even more. ¡°About something I love doing,¡± Song Anchen started to move and started to do what he liked doing. ¡°You¡¯ll be tired at work later,¡± Yisheng maintained her rationality with much difficulty. She was never calm when it came to Song Anchen. Along with his techniques, she no longer had any ability to resist. ¡°Then you can eat me,¡± Song Anchen said that, but continued to press down on her. Yisheng looked at him dully, pitifully motioning for him to get down. ¡°The next time,¡± He said vaguely. Song Anchen ignored Yisheng¡¯s signals and injected a ¡®needle¡¯. Song Anchen¡¯s skill with injection was extremely perfect and merciless. Yisheng waved her hands and Song Anchen had five more bloody nail marks on his back instantly. Nurse Ye¡¯s skill was not bad too. This so-called making love was just a matter of bedside violence. After the matter, it was simply planting hickeys. *** Just as Yisheng had said, Song Anchen had really tired himself out. It was partly due to lack of sleep, and partly due to the intensity of the ¡®morning exercise¡¯. On the way to work, Song Anchen had one hand on the steering wheel and would occasionally press on his forehead with his other hand. Yisheng saw this and did not know what to say at that moment. When the two of them went their separate ways for work, Song Anchen instructed her, ¡°When you get off work these few days, there¡¯s no need to wait for me. You can head home first.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Yisheng agreed, but she felt empty inside, a little sad. They were spending quite a lot of time apart now. Zhao Jixiang was currently lovelorn, so Yisheng had to spend a lot of time comforting her. Zhao Jixiang looked at Yisheng with pitiful eyes, ¡°Yisheng, after work, come with me to the bar to drink.¡± Yisheng was quite sensitive to the word ¡®bar¡¯, and she truly did not dare to go, But when she saw how pitiful and sad Zhao Jixiang looked, her heart softened and she reluctantly agreed. Yisheng had to admit that Zhao Jixiang¡¯s condition was very bad. She needed a few tries to find the blood vessel when she was injecting patients, causing so much pain that the patients complained to the Head Nurse. Zhao Jixiang endured it at first, but after she got scolded many times, she could not help crying, which caused the Head Nurse to be at a loss about what to do. Zhao Jixiang had become so fragile because of a man. After work, Zhao Jixiang couldn¡¯t wait to drag Yisheng to the bar to drink and express her sadness. Yisheng could only stand at the side and watch as Zhao Jixiang drink one cup after another. The bar was quite classy, and the people that came and left were all wearing very beautiful clothes. Yisheng let her guard down a little. She watched as Zhao Jixiang sat at the bar and drank several glasses of brandy. She was also getting a little drunk. Yisheng pulled the cup Zhao Jixiang was trying to drink from away from her, ¡°That¡¯s enough, you have to stop before it¡¯s too much, it¡¯ll hurt your stomach.¡± ¡°Yisheng, Xiao Zhuozi told me that when we broke up in the past, one night, Song Anchen and he drank two bottles of brandy each,¡± Zhao Jixiang sobbed, ¡°he said that he was in a lot of pain and he hated me. He blamed me for abandoning him.¡± Yisheng pursed his lips, wanting to comfort Zhao Jixiang when Zhao Jixiang suddenly pointed at Yisheng and said, ¡°Xiao Zhuozi said that we were the same kind of people. Both of us liked to abandon others and escape,¡± Zhao Jixiang hiccupped, then said, ¡°Xiao Zhuozi complained that I always compared him to Song Anchen. The hell, I¡¯m being polite when I compared him to a prince. How can he compare to Song Anchen? Yisheng, you treated Song Anchen like that, causing him to be so upset that he drank so much and had to be hospitalized, almost dying, but he¡¯s still loyal to you. Not only has he never touched another girl¡¯s hand, but he also did not even look at other girls. And what about him? He f?u?c?k?i?n?g? finds another woman to comfort him, saying that he was feeling hopeless and did not know what to do, wanting to find a woman to heal him? And that woman just happened to jump into his arms? He¡¯s f?u?c?k?i?n?g? good at finding excuses. There were so many women throwing themselves at Song Anchen, why didn¡¯t he find one too?¡± Yisheng was a little shocked. She did not know that Song Anchen had gone to the hospital before, and had even almost died. Zhao Jixiang wiped her nose and said angrily, ¡°Yisheng, why do you have such a good life? How did you find such a pure man and why did I meet such a scummy man?¡± ¡°You¡¯re drunk,¡± Yisheng took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to Zhao Jixiang, motioning for her to wipe her nose with the tissue instead. Zhao Jixiang took the tissue and used both her hands to press it on her nose, blowing her nose hard before she threw the tissue on the ground, grabbing Yisheng¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Does Song Anchen have an older brother or a younger brother? Introduce one to me.¡± ¡°He¡¯s an only child,¡± Yisheng sighed, ¡°Jixiang, pull yourself together.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t I pulling myself together if I find another?¡± Zhao Jixiang hiccupped, looking at Yisheng dazedly. Zhao Jixiang suddenly covered her mouth and ran for the bathroom, her body unsteady. Yisheng had wanted to follow behind, but she saw that Zhao Jixiang was running quickly and seemed to be decently sober, so she did not follow. However, she was feeling strange. Why did Song Anchen drink so much in the past? Was it because of her? Just when she was engrossed in her thoughts, a woman sat down in the bar seat next to her. She leaned against the bar on one hand, the other hand casually resting on the bar counter. She said with a smile, ¡°Hello.¡± Yisheng took a glance at her. She knew this woman. The world was truly so small, she had once again met this wild woman. Yisheng responded, ¡°What a coincidence.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really such a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you again,¡± The woman could not help but show a thought-provoking smile when she saw the several glasses of emptied alcohol. ¡°You have a high alcohol tolerance, you¡¯re not drunk despite drinking so much.¡± ¡°I came here with a friend, she¡¯s the one who drank all of these.¡± ¡°Oh? That¡¯s interesting, I came with a friend as well,¡± The wild woman chuckled, ¡°But the last time I saw your husband, he was perfect. In terms of his looks, his figure, or his personality. I like it all,¡± There was burning admiration in her eyes. Yisheng¡¯s expression instantly turned bad. When faced with someone coveting her man, she felt a sense of crisis and uneasiness. This woman had enough enthusiasm, which was something she could not compete with. Her whole body exuded a sense of superiority, and the only thing that Yisheng could compete with her in was the fact that she got to know Song Anchen first and got together with him first. However, this woman showed some disdain, as if she did not mind being a third party in their relationship as long as she could get him. Yisheng was a little angry, and her expression was dark as she said, ¡°You can find someone better.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve been dating around for many years, your husband is a perfect guy in my eyes.¡± (T/N: The ¡®your husband¡­¡¯ part was originally in English in the raw.) Towards the woman suddenly speaking English, Yisheng was noticeably stunned for a moment. Of course, she could understand it, but she was stunned at how ¡®trendy¡¯ this wild-looking woman was. The wild woman shrugged and stretched out her hand, introducing herself in a friendly manner, ¡°My name is Judy, I¡¯m a French-born Chinese.¡± Yisheng saw that her face was innocent, and she did not look like she had ulterior motives. But when she talked about Song Anchen just now, her eyes projected a stinging and burning heat that made Yisheng feel worried. She hesitated and was just about to shake Judy¡¯s hand and introduce herself when there was a voice that sounded not far away from them, ¡°Judy, you¡¯re so early today.¡± Judy smiled pleasantly at the person behind Yisheng and said, ¡°I met the wife of the perfect person I saw that day,¡± Yisheng turned her head at the appropriate moment to smile at the person behind her. However, both of them stiffened. Lin Ruohan¡¯s smile instantly disappeared and what took its place was disdain, ¡°Ye Yisheng, what a coincidence!¡± ¡°Ah? She¡¯s Ye Yisheng?¡± Judy was shocked, ¡°Ruohan, this is the Ye Yisheng that harmed you?¡± CH 36.1 Harmed her? When Yisheng heard that, she felt uncomfortable, she did not like how that was phrased. When did she harm Lin Ruohan? Yisheng gave a cold hum and stood up, widening her eyes as she looked innocently at Lin Ruohan, ¡°Aren¡¯t you scared of coming to a bar, delicate Little Sister Lin?¡± Lin Ruohan¡¯s face turned pale, wanting to ignore her. She pulled on Judy and wanted to leave, but Judy did not move. She looked Yisheng up and down, a mocking smile on her lips, ¡°Ruohan, I always thought that the woman who snatched your boyfriend away must be very seductive, but she is quite low level. She doesn¡¯t have a butt or boobs, there¡¯s nothing very outstanding about her.¡± Lin Ruohan glanced at Yisheng and said coldly, ¡°As long as she¡¯s acting s?l?u?t?t?y? enough, men would be unable to resist.¡± Yisheng had originally felt a bit of pity for this woman. After all, when such a thing happened, the effect on a woman would be very big. But the fact that Lin Ruohan slandered her made Yisheng feel very disgusted. She could not help but retort, ¡°Well, who was the one who tried her luck but climbed onto the wrong bed?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Lin Ruohan took a step forward, wanting to slap Yisheng. Yisheng raised her hand, grabbing Lin Ruohan¡¯s hand and throwing it down, ¡°I, Ye Yisheng, do not owe you anything. You¡¯re slandering me and I don¡¯t plan on arguing with you over that, but if you want to attack me like that, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not the same person in the past that you can step all over of.¡± ¡°Ruohan, calm down. This Ms. Ye Yisheng married a top-class husband and she¡¯s so arrogant now that she thinks she¡¯s better than everyone else.¡± Lin Ruohan was so angry that her face was red and when she heard that Ye Yisheng was married, she could not help but frown, ¡°What about Brother Anchen? Hmph, he doesn¡¯t want you anymore?¡± ¡°Yisheng ah~!¡± At that moment, Zhao Jixiang burped and walked over, she was walking very steadily. It seemed that after she vomited, she was also not feeling so drunk anymore. She looked at the two women that had suddenly appeared and looked at Yisheng questioningly. Yisheng said, ¡°We¡¯re randomly chatting.¡± Zhao Jixiang looked at the two women and whispered into Yisheng¡¯s ear, ¡°The long-haired woman doesn¡¯t look very friendly,¡± Zhao Jixiang was referring to Lin Ruohan. Yisheng smiled but did not answer. Lin Ruohan always acted like that when it came to her, she was already used to it. ¡°Ye Yisheng, as expected, Brother Anchen didn¡¯t want you,¡± Lin Ruohan gave a cold snort, then glanced at Judy, ¡°Let¡¯s go to another bar, this is ruining my mood.¡± Judy followed Lin Ruohan to leave, her head not even turning back once. Zhao Jixiang asked, confused, ¡°Brother Anchen? Yisheng, aren¡¯t you already married to Song Anchen?¡± Yisheng managed to see Lin Ruohan¡¯s stiffened back and Judy¡¯s shocked gaze as she turned around suddenly. ¡°Mmhm, that¡¯s right, he asked me to drink more today, to allow him to do whatever he wants later,¡± Yisheng pretended to be shy and smiled. Lin Ruohan¡¯s face that had gained color again due to her anger turned green, and she clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. Judy on the other hand was even more tongue-tied as she muttered, ¡°My perfect is¡­¡± She pointed at Yisheng, her expression ugly. Zhao Jixiang seemed to suddenly come to a realization and purposely played along with Yisheng, ¡°Aiya, your husband is so good in bed, you must be very satisfied,¡± Perhaps it was because Zhao Jixiang¡¯s voice was too loud, everyone else turned to look at them. This time, Yisheng felt extremely embarrassed, because what Zhao Jixiang said was completely correct. Judy was someone who did not know how to hide her emotions. When she heard that, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. Lin Ruohan pulled on Judy and left. When the two of them left, Zhao Jixiang started to laugh loudly, ¡°Eyeing someone else¡¯s husband, they¡¯re so shameless.¡± Yisheng took a deep breath and sat back at the bar, pursing her lips, ¡°Jixiang, do you know who that woman is?¡± ¡°A woman who likes Song Anchen?¡± Yisheng told Zhao Jixiang what had happened between the three of them. After Zhao Jixiang heard the story, she was speechless, ¡°You¡­ took the initiative to sleep with Doctor Song?¡± ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t remember. I think I was the one who took the initiative,¡± Yisheng was not very confident, but she remembered being the one to take the initiative to remove Song Anchen¡¯s clothes. ¡°You¡¯re very lucky, at least you got the person you liked. That Lin Ruohan was seriously too unlucky, tsk.¡± ¡°Jixiang, I feel very uneasy,¡± Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang with a torn expression. Zhao Jixiang glanced at her and looked at her like she was dumb, ¡°What¡¯s there to be uneasy about?¡± ¡°Song¡­ My husband¡¯s feelings for Lin Ruohan have always made me feel very troubled. What if they regain feelings for each other again?¡± Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang with teary eyes. Zhao Jixiang directly passed her a glass of alcohol and looked at Yisheng like she was sure Yisheng was being dumb, ¡°You¡¯re too funny. He¡¯s already your person, and he¡¯s someone you have a red booklet with. What¡¯s there to be worried about?¡± (T/N: Red booklet = marriage certificate) ¡°But there¡¯s something called divorce,¡± Yisheng pursed her lips, feeling troubled. Zhao Jixiang was speechless. They were already married, but she was still worried that someone that she was together with already would leave her. Yisheng was truly very delicate. Zhao Jixiang straightened up and ordered a few glasses of alcohol again, pushing them to Yisheng in a formal manner, ¡°Drink these and muster up your courage to ask Song Anchen.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to if he¡­¡± When Yisheng thought about that, she suddenly lost all her energy. Zhao Jixiang poured alcohol for herself and started to drink, ¡°You were supposed to comfort me, but in the end, I¡¯m the one comforting you.¡± She took a few big gulps, feeling upset, and smacked her lips. Then, she turned her head to the side to look at Yisheng, narrowing her eyes and pursing her lips, a serious expression on her face, ¡°Men are unable to resist seduction, if you want to keep your marriage, the best way is to maintain a feeling of novelty, to ensure your husband doesn¡¯t go out and find someone else.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even been together with him for half a month,¡± Yisheng said feebly. ¡°Are you like a dead fish in bed?¡± Zhao Jixiang looked at Yisheng as if seeing through her. Yisheng¡¯s face turned red and did not know how to respond. Zhao Jixiang had an expression that said ¡®I knew it¡¯. ¡°Men do not like it when women are just lying there. And Song Anchen is such an attractive man, thus, he probably is quite prideful, if you act like that, it¡¯s quite frustrating.¡± Yisheng pursed her lips and did not agree instantly. It was true that she was very passive. The few times they slept together, Song Anchen was the one taking the initiative while she was like a dead fish, letting him do whatever he wanted. But she did have o?r?g?a?s?m?s?. She did not know what to say. ¡°You need to understand ¡®temptation¡¯,¡± Zhao Jixiang said that word with a lot of conviction. Yisheng asked, ¡°How do I tempt him?¡± ¡°You can occasionally show your thighs, wear your lingerie and walk around at home,¡± Zhao Jixiang started to drink the alcohol by herself. It was obvious that she had yet to feel better, but wanted to advise other people. Yisheng frowned, ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Give some hints, to show that you want it and need him to cooperate,¡± Zhao Jixiang looked at Yisheng with an expression of helplessness. ¡°What¡­ what else?¡± Yisheng¡¯s hands started to tremble. Why did she describe it like she was a female dog in heat? Barking at a male dog when she¡¯s in heat? ¡°Mmhm¡­¡± Zhao Jixiang could not remember at that moment, and she looked up at the ceiling, pondering. She suddenly remembered a clip from a certain H clip from another country¡¯s show which was able to arouse men. She gave a thumbs up and nodded at Yisheng, saying very seriously, ¡°M?o?a?n? in bed.¡± (T/N: Like a p?o?r?n?/ h?e?n?t?a?i???? Not very sure they called it H clip LOL) ¡°Ah?¡± Yisheng was surprised, looking at Zhao Jixiang to express her helplessness. Zhao Jixiang sighed at her, feeling helpless suddenly, ¡°You don¡¯t know about this?¡± ¡°En~~ Ah~~ Oh~~¡± Yisheng made a few delicate sounds that sounded like m?o?a?n?i?n?g?. Zhao Jixiang¡¯s lips twitched, smiling superficially, ¡°You hurt your waist? Or is your throat feeling uncomfortable?¡± ¡°¡­¡±, Yisheng felt speechless and said helplessly, ¡°Please teach me.¡± ¡°Oh, yes¡­ Oh, yeah¡­ Come on! Baby!¡± Zhao Jixiang was very enthusiastic as she acted out the s?e?x? scene in an American drama. Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang with an expression of disgust as if she was looking at a monster. ¡°Jixiang ah!¡± Yisheng swallowed, saying awkwardly, ¡°If I acted like that, he might just smack me to death.¡± Zhao Jixiang glanced at her, speechless. Her eyes suddenly shone, and she said, ¡°Just act the way he likes, as long as you seduce him and cause him to lose his mind, and not feel the urge to find another woman.¡± Yisheng took a deep breath and nodded her head furiously. She did not want to be a dead fish, she wanted to tempt Song Anchen. CH 36.2 Zhao Jixiang was extremely drunk and started trying to call Xiao Zhuozi, scolding him like a shrew. It was the first time Yisheng had seen Zhao Jixiang act like that. The other end of the phone was silent and there was no response for a long time. Zhao Jixiang scolded and scolded, and then fell onto the ground suddenly. Her phone almost fell onto the ground, but thankfully, Yisheng had quick reflexes. Perhaps the sound of the movement was too large, because the person that had been silent the whole while on the other end finally spoke, ¡°Jixiang, Jixiang, why did you suddenly go silent? Please speak¡­¡± Yisheng looked at Jixiang, who had fallen onto the table, with an expression of helplessness. Yisheng picked up the phone and told Xiao Zhuozi, ¡°We¡¯re at Ran Kui Bar, come and find her. She¡¯s drunk.¡± There was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone, it was obvious that he was rushing over. Yisheng pursed her lips, telling Jixiang, who was unconscious, ¡°If a man makes a careless mistake once, it¡¯s worth forgiving, if he did it twice, then we shouldn¡¯t keep that man. You can consider forgiving Xiao Zhuozi this one time.¡± Zhao Jixiang muttered a few sentences. Yisheng did not know what she was saying. Yisheng sighed and waited for Xiao Zhuozi to arrive. When she saw Xiao Zhuozi who had arrived, panting, Yisheng handed Zhao Jixiang to him, feeling at ease. She kept reminding him not to do anything too beastly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuozi looked at her rudely, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m the same kind of person as you?¡± Yisheng was speechless. When she watched the two of them leave, Yisheng paid the bill and left. She walked on the pavement, thinking about Zhao Jixiang¡¯s words and how they had some logic to them. She needed to take initiative once. But she had no experience to speak of. What if she messed up? Yisheng gritted her teeth and entered a lingerie store she was walking past, spending a large sum of money to buy a sexy set of lingerie. She was going to follow Zhao Jixiang¡¯s advice, showing her thighs and wearing a set of lingerie around the house. But she soon realized that this was a method that was only suited for summer. Yisheng bought a set of black sexy lingerie and drank some alcohol to summon her courage. Then, she wore it around the house. It was a pity¡­ that she was so cold that she was shivering and she curled up. She glanced at the orange clock on the wall. It was almost one a.m. She was so cold that she could only switch on the aircon and increase the temperature indoors. Then, she took a hot shower in the bathroom. This seduction method was truly not reliable. Song Anchen was so busy lately that his schedule was not fixed. He might not come back the whole night. If she wore the lingerie and walked around the whole night, wouldn¡¯t it seem very dumb? Because of this, Yisheng rejected her plan of tempting him and finished her hot bath before she put on the smooth pajamas that Song Anchen had brought for her, exiting the bathroom and preparing to go upstairs and sleep. However, right at that moment, there was movement in the doorway and Song Anchen opened the door and entered. Yisheng stood at the bathroom door, frozen. ¡°Are you very cold?¡± Song Anchen directly removed his jacket and looked at the fragrant Yisheng, whose shoulders were exposed and whose hair was wet. She was barefoot and her cheeks were red. He could not help but narrow his eyes. Yisheng did not know how to explain why she switched on the air conditioner and could only laugh awkwardly as she nodded. Song Anchen hung up the jacket that he had removed onto the coat rack and walked over. His face had the gentle smile that he normally wore, ¡°Why are you not asleep yet?¡± Yisheng did not know what to do. She could not say that she was waiting for him so that she could seduce him, right? She awkwardly smiled and said, ¡°I watched the television for a while and am preparing to go to sleep now.¡± ¡°Oh? What sort of good show would cause you to be so immersed and watch till this time?¡± Song Anchen beckoned Yisheng over, ¡°Let¡¯s watch the television together.¡± ¡°Are you not tired?¡± Yisheng asked tentatively, but listened to him and walked over to him. ¡°I was very tired just now, but I¡¯m feeling energetic now,¡± Song Anchen smiled slightly as he said those words. When Yisheng reached his side, he pulled Yisheng into his embrace and lowered his head to gently sniff at her hair. He was full of charisma as he said, ¡°So fragrant.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Herbal Essences¡¯ perfumed shampoo,¡± Yisheng did not understand what he meant and answered him in a daze. Song Anchen smiled but did not answer and brought her to the sofa, switching on the television. It so happened that when he switched on the television, it was the movie channel. What made her even more speechless was that what was currently airing was an American mature film. A man and a woman were acting out a s?e?x? scene. What made Yisheng even more speechless was that woman was saying, ¡°Oh yeah¡­ Come on!¡± The man and woman were enthusiastically rolling about on the bed. American s?e?x? scenes were more open and the amount of skin exposed made Yisheng¡¯s face turn red. She peeked at Song Anchen, but saw that Song Anchen did not react at all, his gaze did not turn away either and he smiled as he watched. It was like he was watching a movie plot that he was not interested in at all. Yisheng instantly felt like she lost. That woman in the movie had such a good figure, but he did not look interested at all, her figure¡­ Sigh, Yisheng felt extremely hurt. After the s?e?x? scene ended, there were thrilling scenes, but Yisheng was feeling sleepy. She yawned and leaned against Song Anchen¡¯s shoulder sleepily, trying to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. Song Anchen pulled her into his embrace and asked her, concerned, ¡°Do you want to sleep?¡± ¡°No¡­Nope!¡± She forced herself to wake up. She wanted to be in his embrace for a longer period. Song Anchen squinted slightly, and his face slowly approached hers as he coaxed, ¡°Darling, are you sure you¡¯re not sleepy?¡± ¡°Yep, I¡¯m sure,¡± She widened her eyes and moved her head further away. She could feel the warmth from his breath. ¡°Oh, the air conditioner is set too high, it¡¯s a little hot,¡± Song Anchen unbuttoned his shirt a little, showing his pale chest. Yisheng looked over and could not help but gulp. Ignore it, ignore it, Yisheng kept reminding herself. ¡°Darling, aren¡¯t you feeling hot?¡± Song Anchen got an inch closer and Yisheng place her hands on Song Anchen¡¯s chest, her face red and her heart racing as she shook her head. She could even feel Song Anchen¡¯s strong heartbeat. ¡°Thump, thump¡­¡± Yisheng looked at her hands. She was touching his chest when she raised her gaze and saw Song Anchen¡¯s burning gaze. ¡°Darling, you¡¯re so attractive,¡± Song Anchen smiled slightly. Yisheng instantly felt herself leave the ground as Song Anchen carried her up. She was shocked and did not have the opportunity to yell when she realized that Song Anchen had placed her on the dining table and she was sitting on it while Song Anchen was standing between her open thighs. She suddenly felt embarrassed and her face turned extremely red, ¡°Little Brother Song¡­¡± ¡°Call me hubby,¡± Song Anchen hugged her neck. Song Anchen was slightly taller right now and he lowered his head slightly, his lips less than five centimeters away from Yisheng. The heat from his breath landed on Yisheng¡¯s lips, which caused Yisheng to be both embarrassed and anticipate what was coming next. Yisheng had originally wanted to increase the distance between them, but her movements were restricted by Song Anchen. She could only thick-skinnedly say, her face reddened, ¡°Hubby.¡± Her heated breath also landed on Song Anchen¡¯s face. Their lips were almost touching, but Song Anchen did not get close. He used his dark and heated eyes to gaze at her, ¡°Say I love you.¡± Yisheng stared at his moving lips and finally knew what she was looking forward to. She pursed her lips and moved her lips closer to his. Her voice was not very loud, but it was loud enough for him to hear. She said, ¡°I love you.¡± She had yet to take a step forward when the lips that were close to her landed on hers forcefully. A pair of arms wrapped around Yisheng¡¯s waist tightly as he sucked on her lips. Yisheng was shocked. Why did the normally gentle Song Anchen become so rough? CH 37.1 There were sudden alarm bells in Yisheng¡¯s head. It was the words that Zhao Jixiang had said just now¡­ she could not be too passive, she could not act like a dead fish! The moment Song Anchen pulled her into his embrace, Yisheng bravely wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug, trying to match his enthusiasm. Obviously, Song Anchen was shocked by this anomaly, given that he was always the one taking the initiative. He stopped, his lips a tiny distance away from pressing onto hers, his dark and starry eyes flashed as he looked at Yisheng. There was deep emotion in his eyes as he looked at her at attentively. Yisheng was very embarrassed due to Song Anchen¡¯s stare. She turned away to avoid his gaze, feeling a little uneasy. But Zhao Jixiang¡¯s words flashed in her head again. Men needed freshness in their life, she could not always act like a dead fish. Did her enthusiasm scare him? Yisheng instantly felt uneasy, mustering up her bravery to look at Song Anchen. She saw him smiling at her with a slight smile, it was like beautiful scenery, and she could not move her gaze away. Yisheng took a deep breath. She did not want to act like a dead fish. As soon as she had that thought, Yisheng used both hands to hold Song Anchen¡¯s face, kissing it. As the saying went, every dog has its day, at that moment, Song Anchen was the one who was shocked. He widened his eyes and stared at Yisheng, who had closed her eyes. Yisheng¡¯s legs encircled Song Anchen¡¯s waist like she was using her four limbs to hug a tree. She thought that Song Anchen would push her away, but she did not know that she had completely ¡®provoked¡¯ the man in front of her. A pair of burning hands rubbed against Yisheng¡¯s tense back, although there was a layer of silk pajamas between his hand and her back, Yisheng could feel the heat from his hands. Song Anchen¡¯s body was the kind that would be hot in the winter but cool in the summer. In this sort of heated indoors, his skin was normally cold. But at that moment, the temperature of his hand was a lot hotter than her skin. Yisheng instinctively flinched, avoiding the hand moving about on her back. ¡°Too late,¡± Song Anchen suddenly increased his strength and pulled her into his embrace, his dark eyes were shining with a predatory glint, like that of a wolf. Yisheng suddenly had a bad feeling. As expected, Song Anchen suddenly used some force and held her hips, carrying her up. Yisheng clamped her legs together in nervousness, her hands tightly holding onto Song Anchen as she looked at him in shock. Song Anchen did not say a word and held her tightly, smiling as he carried her upstairs. ¡°Song Anchen, let me down,¡± Yisheng bit on his shoulder, her face turning red as she said that. ¡°I¡¯m not the one with bad intentions this time. You¡¯re the one who came into my arms.¡± Yisheng was extremely angry. Even if she was the one who took the initiative, she should be the one leading. Why did she feel like a pig tied up and hanging above a large pot of boiling water, waiting to be put in and cooked? This was not right, indeed, it was very wrong. She was the one who had the upper hand. However, that night, Yisheng thoroughly surrendered. She was even more pitiful than a pig that was getting slaughtered. At least the pig only suffered for a moment after making some noise, whereas she was making noises throughout the beautiful night, but she did not die yet. Instead, she was suffering a fate ¡®worse than death¡¯. That night, Yisheng concluded that she could not seduce men. Especially men that were prettier than her and were very good in bed. It was a tragedy. The morning after, Yisheng huddled in bed, lacking in energy. There was already no one by her side. She did not have work today, whereas that energetic Song Anchen had gone to work very early. This was the difference between a nurse and a doctor, he was extremely busy, while she was extremely relaxed. The sun shone into her eyes and Yisheng woke up because she could not stand the bright light. She got off the bed barefoot, washing her face before going downstairs. She saw that there was a note on the dining table and on it was written: My wife, it¡¯s been hard on you. I¡¯ve prepared breakfast, but you¡¯ll have to settle lunch yourself. I¡¯ll come home early tonight. Your husband. Yisheng pursed her lips and looked at the breakfast on the table that had already turned cold. Suddenly, she felt an itchy feeling in her eyes. She was not as busy as Song Anchen. Song Anchen could have arranged a less packed schedule for his surgeries, but Song Anchen refused to rest because he wanted to take some time to hold their wedding. She sat down and ate the already cold breakfast, but her heart felt warm. She felt bored and cleaned up the house. She had to acknowledge that Song Anchen really liked to maintain his cleanliness. There was practically no dust, and it was very neat everywhere. She was bored again within ten minutes. Yisheng was bored and sat on the sofa to watch the television. She listlessly changed the channels and when she saw an advertisement, she could not help but stop changing the channels. It was an advertisement for ¡®infertility¡¯, saying that they could fulfill a person¡¯s wish to become a mother. She was intrigued. She did not really like children, but she really wanted a child, not to pacify their parents, but because she wanted to give birth to Song Anchen¡¯s child, a child with his appearance. She stood up and got ready, leaving the house. She thought that she could not just sit there and not do anything. She had to think of a way to solve it. CH 37.2 There were sudden alarm bells in Yisheng¡¯s head. It was the words that Zhao Jixiang had said just now¡­ she could not be too passive, she could not act like a dead fish!

She was the one who had the upper hand. However, that night, Yisheng thoroughly surrendered. She was even more pitiful than a pig that was getting slaughtered. At least the pig only suffered for a moment after making some noise, whereas she was making noises throughout the beautiful night, but she did not die yet. Instead, she was suffering a fate ¡®worse than death¡¯. That night, Yisheng concluded that she could not seduce men. Especially men that were prettier than her and were very good in bed. It was a tragedy. The morning after, Yisheng huddled in bed, lacking in energy. There was already no one by her side. She did not have work today, whereas that energetic Song Anchen had gone to work very early. This was the difference between a nurse and a doctor, he was extremely busy, while she was extremely relaxed. The sun shone into her eyes and Yisheng woke up because she could not stand the bright light. She got off the bed barefoot, washing her face before going downstairs. She saw that there was a note on the dining table and on it was written: My wife, it¡¯s been hard on you. I¡¯ve prepared breakfast, but you¡¯ll have to settle lunch yourself. I¡¯ll come home early tonight. Your husband. Yisheng pursed her lips and looked at the breakfast on the table that had already turned cold. Suddenly, she felt an itchy feeling in her eyes. She was not as busy as Song Anchen. Song Anchen could have arranged a less packed schedule for his surgeries, but Song Anchen refused to rest because he wanted to take some time to hold their wedding. She sat down and ate the already cold breakfast, but her heart felt warm. She felt bored and cleaned up the house. She had to acknowledge that Song Anchen really liked to maintain his cleanliness. There was practically no dust, and it was very neat everywhere. She was bored again within ten minutes. Yisheng was bored and sat on the sofa to watch the television. She listlessly changed the channels and when she saw an advertisement, she could not help but stop changing the channels. It was an advertisement for ¡®infertility¡¯, saying that they could fulfill a person¡¯s wish to become a mother. She was intrigued. She did not really like children, but she really wanted a child, not to pacify their parents, but because she wanted to give birth to Song Anchen¡¯s child, a child with his appearance. She stood up and got ready, leaving the house. She thought that she could not just sit there and not do anything. She had to think of a way to solve it. CH 38.1 Chapter 38.1 - Eat~ When Song Anchen arrived at Dong Fang Woman¡¯s Hospital, Yisheng was sitting in a chair in the waiting area with her head lowered. Her expression was somewhat nervous, and she was so nervous that she did not know what to do with her hands. She could only grip her hands together on her stomach, tightening and loosening her grip over and over again. When Song Anchen saw Yisheng¡¯s nervous expression, he could not help but smile and walk towards her, sitting down next to her and pulling her into his embrace. He smiled as he teased her, ¡°Silly.¡± There was nothing more important to him than her staying by his side. Yisheng was in Song Anchen¡¯s embrace and she blinked, confused, ¡°The report isn¡¯t out yet, the lab tests still require some time,¡± Song Anchen smelled like the hospital, a faint antiseptic smell that Yisheng really liked. It made her feel safe. ¡°Let¡¯s go back home. These things aren¡¯t important,¡± Song Anchen rubbed her hair and pulled her hand, wanting to lead her outside. Yisheng hesitated a little but let him lead her out. The two of them sat in the car and Song Anchen turned the car key with a serious expression, starting the engine of the car. Yisheng hesitated and saw that Song Anchen did not put on his seatbelt. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°You¡¯re not being safe, put on your condom!¡± (T/N: The word condom and seatbelt only differ by one word in Chinese) Song Anchen was slightly stunned. His originally serious expression became one that was amused. Yisheng did not understand for a moment but was amused by Song Anchen¡¯s expression, which made him look like he was trying his best to hold back laughter and tears. ¡°I bought a lot the last time and it seems that it hasn¡¯t been used yet. Looks like you¡¯re still thinking about that bag of condoms¡­¡± Song Anchen laughed. However, Yisheng¡¯s face was already extremely red. She had made a mistake and said condoms instead of safety belt. Song Anchen held Yisheng¡¯s hand, enveloping her hand in his palm. The heat from Song Anchen¡¯s hand flowed to Yisheng¡¯s heart and she did not know why, but she felt like she was about to melt. ¡°Yisheng¡­¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Wife¡­¡± ¡°Uh.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s lips were curved into a smile as he focused on driving. The whole way back, Yisheng could not help but look towards Song Anchen. She saw that his handsome face had a smile on it, and it was not the evil smile he had in the past. It was a comfortable and relaxed smile. Yisheng wondered what exactly caused him to be in such a good mood. Could it be that he was done with his surgeries? Song Anchen sent Yisheng to the building they were staying at and before he left, he gave Yisheng a goodbye kiss, causing Yisheng to be embarrassed and unsure of what to do. As soon as Yisheng got off the car, right before she managed to wave her hand in goodbye, Song Anchen rolled down the car window and told her, ¡°After I¡¯m done with the last surgery, let¡¯s take wedding photos,¡± Song Anchen paused for a moment before he took out a namecard from a compartment in his car, ¡°If you have time, take a trip to this studio, Mom recommended it.¡± So Song Anchen¡¯s mother had already talked to Song Anchen. Yisheng took the namecard and examined it, Tian Du Studio. Yisheng had never heard of this name before. ¡°Silly girl, don¡¯t do such silly things in the future,¡± Song Anchen smiled slightly and entered his car, rolling up the car window and driving off. He left Yisheng, who was feeling confused, standing at her original spot. What silly thing did she do? Even she did not know what sort of silly thing she had done. After Yisheng returned home, she fell asleep. She was woken up by the sound of her ringtone. The house phone kept ringing and Yisheng ran over to pick it up. Zhao Jixiang¡¯s voice sounded from the other end, ¡°Yisheng ah, why is your phone out of battery?¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Yisheng took out her phone, finding it strange. She had received Song Anchen¡¯s call a moment ago, and there had been a bit of battery left. But the truth was, her phone was out of battery. Yisheng pressed her lips together and asked, ¡°Did something happen?¡± ¡°I¡­ got back together with Xiao Zhuozi.¡± This was something that Yisheng had expected would happen. Yisheng rolled her eyes, ¡°Mmhm, and?¡± ¡°Xiao Zhuozi proposed to me.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Yisheng was shocked, ¡°So fast?¡± ¡°Uh, it¡¯s alright. I agreed.¡± Yisheng instantly felt speechless, ¡°You¡¯ve thought things through already?¡± ¡°So-so, I¡¯ll take a gamble this time. Marriage is basically gambling anyway. It¡¯s hard to find someone you love that loves you back. Everyone has their own personality and things cannot be forced. It¡¯s even hard to be happy. A passionate dating life is not any better than calmly getting married and being a good wife.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare that you see things clearly.¡± ¡°Ha, I want someone to care for me too. How can I have a life as happy as yours, Doctor Song is so busy, but he¡¯s still planning the wedding. You¡¯re living in happiness, but you don¡¯t know it, having such a good husband,¡± Zhao Jixiang¡¯s tone was sour. Yisheng did not understand, why was Zhao Jixiang in such a weird mood? She wondered, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°Oh, you don¡¯t know what happened this morning?¡± ¡°Uh, what?¡± ¡°Oh, right. You aren¡¯t on shift today,¡± Zhao Jixiang finally realized. She said, ¡°Do you remember that woman from the bar the last time with a bun on her head?¡± Yisheng did remember. It was Judy. For some reason, Yisheng felt nervous, actually breaking out in cold sweat. She said, ¡°What happened to her?¡± ¡°She came to the hospital and went to your husband¡¯s department.¡± ¡°¡­¡± CH 38.2 ¡°That woman was really f?u?c?k?i?n?g? crazy. She went to your husband for a checkup and kept saying her delicate parts were in pain. I heard this from other nurses, that woman was really crazy. She lay on the bed and whenever your husband pressed any part, she would make a noise, that noise was really disgusting.¡± Yisheng did not know why, but she was feeling a little angry. ¡°That would have been fine, but the problem was that the woman came back again in the afternoon to get another checkup from your husband. Even I was f?u?c?k?i?n?g? angry. What else could this be but outright seduction?¡± ¡°And what happened after?¡± Yisheng thought that with Song Anchen¡¯s intelligence, how could he not know what that woman wanted to do? Could it be that he did not do anything and was very willing to take advantage of this? ¡°Haha,¡± Zhao Jixiang suddenly laughed, ¡°Your husband has a talent for causing mischief. When he scolds people, he doesn¡¯t use a single curse word.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Your husband endured that woman¡¯s sexual harassment and in the end, when giving the results of the consultation, he told that woman, ¡®your symptoms are similar to gonorrhea because I¡¯m not a specialist in this sort of diseases, you should make a trip down to a specialist in sexual diseases to get a proper diagnosis¡¯. Your husband looked very professional and did not seem like he was trying to scare her. That woman was extremely shocked. Only your husband dares to scold people by using professional terms. If the hospital head knows, your husband would be done for. Your husband probably knew the consequences, but he had no hesitation when he did it. It¡¯s obvious how much care your husband takes to separate himself from other women.¡± Yisheng did not know what to say for a moment. All she could think about was Judy¡¯s angry expression and she could not help but laugh. Song Anchen had a sharp tongue, suggesting that the other had a sexual disease and was unclean. Oh, he was truly brave for a doctor, not worried about ruining his career. ¡°Yisheng ah, your husband has done so much for you. You should at least reward him.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ I don¡¯t know what he wants,¡± She did not know what kind of reward she should give Song Anchen? ¡°You¡¯re so silly. It¡¯s almost time for him to end work. You can give him a call and ask him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Thus, Yisheng hung up and gave Song Anchen a call. The phone only rang once before Song Anchen picked up. His tone was quite surprised, not expecting that Yisheng would give him a call during mealtime. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Song Anchen said. ¡°Um¡­ What do you want to eat?¡± She was a little too embarrassed to say that this was a reward for him being so loyal. And if she suddenly gave him a call, it would seem too out of the blue. It happened to be mealtime, so she made use of that reason to ask. ¡°Hm, I want to eat the dish called Ye Yisheng.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng was speechless. Song Anchen laughed, ¡°Remember to heat up the dish, I like eating hot food.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng gave a cold harrumph, feeling embarrassed. Then, she heard Song Anchen say, ¡°I¡¯ll be home in half an hour.¡± *** Song Anchen had only wanted to tease Yisheng. After he took his key and unlocked the door, he was still standing on the carpet at the entrance, his shoes still on when he saw Yisheng, who was doing hula-hoops. Song Anchen smiled and said, ¡°Are you trying to lose weight?¡± ¡°I¡¯m heating up the dish,¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes at him. This was the first time Song Anchen was rendered speechless by Yisheng. Yisheng turned until her waist and her back were hurting before she stopped and wiped her sweat. She panted as she walked to Song Anchen, ¡°I¡¯m done heating up the dish.¡± (T/N: Take note from here, there¡¯s a double meaning to dish, the Chinese word here could both mean a completed dish (cooked already), or just vegetables, so you can replace the word dish with vegetable where appropriate, but I¡¯ll just TL it as dish) Song Anchen looked at Yisheng, who was sweaty and had turned red from the heat. He could not help but laugh, ¡°I¡¯ll need to wash the dish first, otherwise, I might get indigestion from eating it.¡± Yisheng looked at Song Anchen angrily before rolling her eyes, ¡°I¡¯ll go and wash the dish.¡± After she said that, she ran to the bathroom to run the bath. She was still testing the water temperature when she saw Song Anchen remove his jacket. He was wearing his white button-up with two top buttons unbuttoned. He looked even more like a delicious meal, much better than Yisheng. Song Anchen hugged Yisheng from the back, lowering his head to her neck. His lips were pressed to below her earlobe, biting it once in a while, using a seductive tone as he said, ¡°Let me wash the dish.¡± Yisheng¡¯s whole body was hot before this, and after being seduced by Song Anchen like that, she felt even hotter. Her ears especially, were so hot that they felt like they were burning. She tried her best to remain calm as she said, ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡± She had yet to finish her sentence when Song Anchen started to unbutton her clothes. Yisheng anxiously said, ¡°I haven¡¯t washed the dish yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Song Anchen moved his legs forward, causing Yisheng to lean forward. Song Anchen¡¯s agile fingers stroked her back and he smiled charmingly, ¡°I¡¯ll eat as I wash the dish.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng expressed that giving Song Anchen a gift was like sending a sheep into a tiger¡¯s mouth, it wouldn¡¯t live for long. Doing those things in the bathtub caused water to splash all over. The warm water surrounded their bodies and there was steam all around. *** The problem came here. Yisheng was very troubled about why Song Anchen was using so much energy to ¡®eat¡¯ her yesterday. The reason turned out to be because he did not need to work the next day and could sleep in. However, she had to go to work. What a horrible man¡­ Yisheng gritted her teeth and climbed out of bed, but was pulled back into the sheets by Song Anchen. He hugged her and refused to let her go. ¡°I need to go to work today,¡± Yisheng struggled, but Song Anchen increased the strength of his grip on her. He opened his watery eyes, his long and curly eyelashes blinking over and over again as he used a very weak voice to say, ¡°I helped you take leave yesterday. Today, we¡¯re going to try on wedding dresses.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Yisheng stopped struggling. The truth was, she was feeling a little lazy and did not want to get up either, but it was a matter of professionalism. Since she had no work today, Yisheng wanted to lie back down and continue sleeping, but did not expect that next to her was a scoundrel who grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace before pressing her down¡­ ¡°Wife, let¡¯s start our morning exercise.¡± After that, a shadow covered her before she even had the chance to say a word. CH 39 Tian Du Studio was located in a very good location in the downtown area. This location was very conspicuous, but the most outstanding thing about Tian Du Studio was not its location, but its photographer. It has been said that this photographer had won many photography awards, the highest of which was an international award that greatly raised the popularity of the studio to an unparalleled level. However, this was the first time Yisheng had found out about this studio. She was truly too ignorant. When Song Anchen brought Yisheng to the studio it was already 10 in the morning. The sun was shining bright and the warm sunshine shone onto their body, causing their hearts to feel a surge of emotions. When Song Anchen and Yisheng walked into that studio, they saw Song Anchen¡¯s mother, who had been waiting for a long time. Song Anchen¡¯s mother smiled as she walked over, she was wearing a brown nylon coat with a chiffon shirt inside. Although she was not young, she was still full of charm. She did not say a word before she held Yisheng, taking a look at her, before touching her stomach, ¡°Mm, thankfully, your stomach hasn¡¯t grown yet. The dress Song Anchen chose will look good.¡± When Yisheng heard the words ¡®belly size¡¯, she suddenly turned pale and felt overwhelmed. Song Anchen winked at her mischievously and chatted causally before turning to his mother and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t waste the photographer¡¯s time, we only have a two-hour appointment.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother pursed her lips and pretended that she was offended, ¡°As expected, you¡¯ve forgotten your mom after getting a wife. I¡¯ve only spoken for a few minutes! Unfilial,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother looked angry, but she changed her expression faster than those face-changing shows, it was very mysterious. Yisheng heard the sound of someone coming downstairs a short distance away and Song Anchen¡¯s mother instantly smiled as she walked towards the staircase. ¡°Darling¡­¡± Song Anchen¡¯s mother called out. She was not acting sweet, but instead, it was like she was calling someone intimately. Yisheng saw a foreigner come downstairs. He was quite tall, at least 1.9 meters tall. Song Anchen¡¯s mother was very tall but only reached his shoulder in height. When the two of them got close to each other, they pressed their cheeks together in greeting. Song Anchen¡¯s mother then introduced Yisheng and Song Anchen to him, ¡°This is my baby and this is my baby¡¯s baby.¡± Baby¡¯s baby! Yisheng felt very speechless. Song Anchen led Yisheng forward and nodded at him, before pinching Yisheng¡¯s shoulder as she was in a daze and was acting rudely. Yisheng hurriedly bowed to him, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Darling, your baby is so beautiful. Your baby¡¯s baby is so cartoonish,¡± The foreigner said to Song Anchen¡¯s mother with a smile. Song Anchen¡¯s mother was obviously stunned. He used ¡®beautiful¡¯ as an adjective for his son while describing her daughter-in-law as ¡®cartoonish¡¯. This was her first time experiencing this kind of thing. She pulled on the foreigner, ¡°You should use handsome for me,¡± As for cartoonish, Song Anchen¡¯s mother was still thinking about what that meant. The foreigner grabbed Song Ancehn¡¯s mother, ¡°Very perfect. You gave me such a handsome Chinese son.¡± It turned out that the foreigner was Song Anchen¡¯s French husband. Song Anchen seemed to know about this already. He smiled slightly, as a way of dealing with it. ¡°Channing is already waiting for you upstairs,¡± The foreigner told Song Anchen. Song Anchen¡¯s mother snuggled up to the foreigner and said to Song Anchen, ¡°Hurry and bring Yisheng with you to take photos. Time waits for no man.¡± Song Anchen nodded and led Yisheng upstairs. Yisheng followed behind him, grabbing onto Song Anchen¡¯s arm like pulling a rope, ¡°How many times have you been here?¡± ¡°Many times, so many that I can¡¯t remember,¡± Song Anchen responded mildly. While this seemed insignificant, Yisheng was feeling very sweet in her heart. It turned out that he was excited as well. When they got to the attic, the temperature of the room suddenly increased. In front of them, a man wrapped in a towel was standing next to a wall full of photos, touching his jaw as he looked at those photos, pondering. Song Anchen coughed softly and the man turned his head around. The man was obviously of a mixed-race, the kind that had the perfect mix of features. He had delicate features and a good figure. Yisheng could not help but notice his figure. Afterall, that man was wearing just a towel and he did not read the situation, not caring that a woman walked in. Channing suddenly looked at Song Anchen like he had seen a demon and suddenly yelled, ¡°F?u?c?k?!¡± Then, he rushed over and held Song Anchen¡¯s shoulders before glancing at Yisheng, expression hard to read as he said, ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Song Anchen looked towards Channing with a strange expression and Channing suddenly realized that he was being rude. He let go of Song Anchen¡¯s shoulders and had an expression of calmness as he asked with a not very accurate accent, ¡°You¡¯re Song Anchen, right?¡± Song Anchen was still looking at the excited man indifferently. The man looked Song Anchen up and down and praised him, ¡°Your figure is perfect and you have an excellent appearance. This bearing, especially your eyes that shine slightly with charisma. You¡¯re simply a work of art carefully carved by God.¡± Then, Channing turned to look at Yisheng and tutted, ¡°God must have had a seizure and trembled when he made this work of art.¡± Yisheng instantly glared at him. Channing chuckled, ¡°How can that trembling curve of your face be so perfect?¡±After he said that, he wanted to touch Yisheng¡¯s face. Song Anchen instantly pulled his wandering hands away and smiled slightly, ¡°The photographer¡¯s time in the studio must be very precious. Let¡¯s get right to the point.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Channing took a coat from one end of the sofa and wore it. Then, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled at Song Anchen, ¡°I¡¯m rarely at Tian Du Studio. It was opened for me by my dad, otherwise, I won¡¯t come here. The only people that can bring me here are the guests,¡± Channing smiled and stared at Song Anchen¡¯s face, ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied with the potential of your appearance. My request is very simple. I don¡¯t want money, I just want the rights to the photos I take of you. I promise I won¡¯t do bad things to it, alright?¡± The two of them hesitated. Channing then said, ¡°I know that you are Elvin¡¯s Chinese son, and have enough money to pay for my services. But¡­ if I¡¯m in a bad mood, money is nothing.¡± This was an obvious threat. Yisheng wanted to take a step out and reject the request. However, Song Anchen pulled Yisheng back and smiled, ¡°Alright.¡± Yisheng turned her head to look at Song Anchen in disbelief. She saw that his expression was calm as if this matter did not affect him. ¡°Okay, then come on. Hurry and change into your wedding clothes,¡± Channing clapped his hands and walked towards the photography area. When the two of them were left there, Yisheng asked in a small voice, ¡°I haven¡¯t chosen the wedding dress yet.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already chosen it,¡± Song Anchen smiled and pushed her into the dressing room. A makeup artist was waiting in the dressing room. She was holding a dress that had many layers of white silk and lace. It did not look like a wedding dress at all and was completely shapeless. Yisheng instantly thought that this must have been a wedding dress that some other couple ordered that had come apart. But when the makeup artist brought her to change her clothes, and when she put on the wedding dress, she realized that it was indeed a wedding dress. Gosh, her wedding dress was made of many layers¡­ ¡°I want to change my dress,¡± Yisheng hurriedly stooped the makeup artist from continuing. The makeup artist smiled and stopped her actions, ¡°This was specially chosen for you by Mr. Song, it¡¯s a special dress from our shop.¡± ¡°What if it slips down?¡± She kept feeling like this dress was loose. If that happened, she would be completely bare. The makeup artist chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this was specially designed and we paid attention to many things. It isn¡¯t so low-level. Besides this white pleated ribbon on your waist that will affect your dress if it moves, the dress cannot be pulled off you.¡± Yisheng suddenly felt a terrible feeling, what did that mean? Does that mean that as long as someone pulled on the ribbon on her waist, her dress would fall off? Yisheng could not help but grit her teeth. Song Anchen was a beast that was hidden behind proper clothes. ¡°The bride is very beautiful,¡± At that moment, the stylist had already helped her adjust the wedding dress and brought Yisheng out. Yisheng happened to bump into Song Anchen, who had changed into his suit. For a moment, Yisheng felt like there was a strange feeling of forever. Song Anchen was wearing a white suit, along with his perfect body and his fatal smile, Yisheng felt a little dizzy. Song Anchen also saw Yisheng, with the white lace falling below her knee, revealing her shoulders and looking slightly shy. For this life, she would be his wife, regardless of life and death, she would not separate from him. He seemed to recall the oath that he had heard when he and Yisheng went to someone else¡¯s wedding when they were young. And he had been persistent in his wish to be with her the whole time and finally¡­ ¡°Yisheng,¡± The two of them faced each other and Song Anchen suddenly shouted, holding her hand with a smile. ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Wife.¡± ¡°Erm.¡± Yisheng felt that something was wrong with Song Anchen. ¡°Click¡­¡± A flash suddenly destroyed the rarely seen atmosphere between the two of them. They turned and saw that Channing, who had succeeded in taking a sudden photo admire the photo he took in satisfaction. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s beautiful,¡± Channing flattered them. The stylist scolded him, ¡°The bride hasn¡¯t put on her makeup yet.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need, she¡¯s very beautiful,¡± Song Anchen stared at Yisheng¡¯s eyes and said slowly. Yisheng heard Song Anchen¡¯s rare praise and could not help but pull on his shirt, speaking by his ear, ¡°Little Brother Song¡­¡± ¡°Hm?¡± He suddenly snorted. ¡°Hubby~¡± Yisheng instantly changed the way she addressed him. Song Anchen narrowed his eyes. Obviously, he was allowing Yisheng to continue. Yisheng paused and then said, ¡°Act normally, I¡¯m not used to you right now.¡± ¡°Oh? Am I acting very strangely?¡± Song Anchen looked at Yisheng in surprise. Yisheng nodded her head frantically. She had always felt that if Song Anchen was too gentle, something must have happened. He had never been a docile sheep, he would not bleat softly. He was definitely a big gray wolf who coaxed a rabbit to open the door. Song Anchen smiled, ¡°Hmm~~~¡± He dragged out the last sound, seeming to have sudden enlightenment. He asked Channing, ¡°What are the props for the shoot?¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Channing asked. Song Anchen looked down at Yisheng with a smile. There was a knife hidden in that smile. Yisheng looked at that smile and she suddenly thought that she was not the kind of rabbit who insisted on seeing a rabbit tail before letting the gray wolf in. Instead, she was the kind of stupid rabbit who insisted on seeing the tail of the big gray wolf before she opened the door herself and sent herself straight into the mouth of the big gray wolf. ¡°Candles.¡± Channing¡¯s eyes suddenly widened and Yisheng looked at Song Anchen with a suspicious look. She saw him smile with all kinds of amorous feelings hidden in his smile. CH 40.1 Chapter 40.1 - Bed Photos~ Channing ordered someone to draw the curtains of the window of the room. Originally, the room was relatively dark but through the window, there was a faint light. Now the light emitted from the window was blocked, and the visual effect was quite mysterious. Yisheng saw the flame on the candle in front of her, dancing in the palm of Song Anchen¡¯s hand. She had a really bad feeling. What were they doing with candles suddenly? Could it be that Song Anchen had some sexual thought suddenly? She stepped back a little and said awkwardly, ¡°Candles are not fun.¡± Song Anchen just smiled and continued to walk towaards her with the candle. Yisheng could only ask Channing for help, but Channing seemed to be very focused and looked forward to it with great expectation in his eyes. He stood like a statue, motionless as if he had a great interest in the candle. Gosh, what exactly was Song Anchen doing? ¡°Yisheng, do you remember what you said at your mother¡¯s funeral?¡± Song Anchen walked to Yisheng and raised his hand to adjust the hairs by her ear, his expression extremely gentle. How could Yisheng forget the words she said that day? At the memorial service, she sat alone under the stage, her eyelids were so swollen that she could not open her eyes. She kept her head down and stood next to Song Anchen. She said, ¡°I have nothing left. The me right now is a lighted-up candle, I¡¯m about to run out of tears and I feel like dying. I don¡¯t know how much longer I can last,¡± She covered her face and wanted to cry, but realized that she had no more tears left to cry. She had nothing left, she did not have her dad, she did not have her mom, all that she had left was herself. Song Anchen, who was by her side, did not care about the other people present and hugged Yisheng, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of you for my whole life, you have me.¡± When Yisheng recalled that, she suddenly had some epiphany. When she lifted her eyes, tears were already swirling in her eyes. If she blinked, she might cry. Her eyelashes trembled and she stared at the burning candle in Song Anchen¡¯s hand, that reminded her of herself. ¡°Yisheng, there¡¯s a saying that describes a lit-up candle¡ªIts lifespan (light) does not last long,¡± He raised the lighted up candle in his hand, ¡°Are you still lit up and burning?¡± (T/N: Life and light have similar pronunciations in Chinese) Yisheng did not know how to respond. She had never expected that Song Anchen would bring this up and that he needed her to make a statement. She had always thought that Song Anchen was extremely confident, that he was superior, arrogant, and had absolute self-confidence. And he was like the dust at his feet that had to keep looking at the confident him. She was not confident, but it was understandable because she was not outstanding. She was an ordinary woman that one could find anywhere on the street. But Song Anchen was different. He was outstanding, he was handsome, he cared about his family, it was hard to find such a man anymore¡­ But why did Song Anchen seem so insecure now? He was afraid that she did not feel moved by him and was still burning in her own way? She could not help laughing bitterly. In her eyes, he was heaven and unattainable. But in Song Anchen¡¯s eyes, she was like a cloud. He could not catch her and was uncertain. Yisheng had a sudden urge to cry. If they had expressed themselves earlier, perhaps they would not have missed so many years of each others¡¯ lives¡­ Thankfully, everything was not over yet. Yisheng took a step towards Song Anchen. That step was the most stable step of her life. She was very close to him, and the burning flame was right below her jaw. Yisheng said, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t you know that you¡¯ve extinguished the self-burning fire in my heart a long time ago?¡± She took Song Anchen¡¯s elbow and put the candle near Song Anchen¡¯s mouth, gently staring at him and smiling. Song Anchen felt shocked and with the same gentle eyes, he gently pursed his lips and blew out a hot breath. The red flame on the candle swayed uneasily and struggled for a while before going out. Yisheng chuckled, she had never expected Song Anchen to have such a lack of confidence. ¡°Wife~¡± ¡°Ah?¡± As soon as Yisheng answered, Song Anchen immediately hugged her tightly, holding her close to himself and brazenly turning to Channing and saying, ¡°Please take a photo.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Channing had yet to react when he saw the new couple in front of him start to make out. -_-||| Channing was someone who had seen many things and was used to this kind of thing. But this time, his face turned red for some reason. Perhaps it was because of the candle being held in Song Anchen¡¯s hand, or perhaps it was because the bride¡¯s wedding dress was special. Channing could not help but think that this was the prelude of S&M¡­ ¡°Click,¡± When Channing finished taking this photo, he wondered if this photo was too artistic to use as a representative work? Yisheng finally could breathe and she looked at Song Anchen with an extremely sweet smile then rolled her eyes at him, ¡°You don¡¯t pay enough attention to your image.¡± He smiled but did not answer. He simply took her hand and said, ¡°We can continue this when we go back home. Let¡¯s get down to business first.¡± Yisheng was led downstairs by Song Anchen. Yisheng found it strange, were they not going to take photos in this room anymore? After Yisheng went downstairs, she was stuffed into a car and Song Anchen talked to his mother for a while before saying goodbye and getting in the car. Only then did he explain to Yisheng, ¡°We chose three outdoor locations. The park, the ancient ruins, and our home.¡± Yisheng was shocked. They were taking wedding photos in their home? CH 40.2 Taking advantage of the clear weather, Song Anchen took Yisheng to the park first. Channing was a picky photographer. He asks for many kinds of expressions, including happiness, anger, sadness, and joy. Yisheng did not understand. Shouldn¡¯t wedding photos be happy? Why did they need all four expressions? Channing¡¯s explanation was: This is art. Alright, just take it as it was for art. Yisheng put in her all, devoting herself to the art. Just one location was enough to tire her out so much she was about to collapse. The second location was at a historic site. Channing asked them to stick to the wall and smile. The weather had already turned cold and Yisheng was so cold that her skin was purple. Song Anchen¡¯s heart ached and after they took two photos, he had them go back home to finish their third location. As soon as Channing entered their home, he yelled, ¡°F?u?c?k?! It¡¯s so spotless,¡± Channing touched the table. There was not a speck of dust. After that, he looked around the house, touching many things, trying to find something dirty but he was unable to. He was so shocked then he turned around to look at Yisheng, ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that you were so neat and tidy.¡± Yisheng instantly felt embarrassed. She could not bring herself to say that she never cleaned the house. She had only cleaned it once since she moved here. She usually helped out, but it was mainly Song Anchen. She had to say that Song Anchen does have a habit of cleanliness and resolutely does not allow furniture to have a speck of dust. The ceramic tiles must be polished, or they must be polished repeatedly. This problem of cleanliness is troublesome. Song Anchen who was by the side did not say anything and instead stared at the staircase and said, ¡°Take more bed photos.¡± ¡°Pft¡­¡± Yisheng almost spat out. She looked at Song Anchen¡¯s back in shock. It was like she did not know him. Song Anchen smiled back and narrowed his slender eyes, ¡°Are you alright, wife?¡± Channing interrupted, ¡°The bed photos I take need artistic flair.¡± Yisheng glanced at Channing, ¡°What counts as artistic flair?¡± ¡°Do you know about body art?¡± Channing¡¯s expression was one of ¡®you don¡¯t even know what art is¡¯ as he stared at Yisheng. Yisheng really wanted to vomit blood this time. She rejected him harshly, ¡°Definitely not.¡± Song Anchen walked towards Channing, ¡°We won¡¯t do revealing photos.¡± Channing glanced at him and reluctantly said, ¡°I¡¯ll make an exception for the sake of Elvin this time.¡± Yisheng scolded in her heart, ¡°Make an exception. It¡¯s obvious that he was just obscene,¡± She took the chance to glare at him. Unexpectedly, Channing seemed to have eyes behind his back. He turned around and looked at her in an instant, which startled her. Song Anchen chuckled, taking Yisheng into his arms, and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that people that do art are super sensitive? Don¡¯t do stupid things in the future.¡± After he said that, he led Yisheng upstairs. Yisheng pursed her lips and looked at the calm Song Anchen. She uneasily pulled on the corner of his clothes, ¡°Let¡¯s not take bed photos, it feels very perverted.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Song Anchen thought about it seriously, ¡°But when I think about being perverted for once, I feel tempted.¡± Yisheng¡¯s lips twitched and she narrowed her eyes at the harmless expression on Song Anchen¡¯s face. Why did she end up with such a beast? Channing seemed to be very good at taking bed photos. He knew how to choose the angle to make the effect more ¡®artistic¡¯. It was just that because they were moving about, Yisheng¡¯s wedding dress seemed to be in the danger of slipping down. When the two of them sat on the rattan chairs and faced each other, Channing asked Song Anchen to stand up and bend down to get close to Yisheng. Then, he asked Yisheng to raise her head and for the two of them to look at each other affectionately. They followed Channing¡¯s instructions, but when the two of them were looking at each other, Song Anchen¡¯s gaze suddenly lowered to below Yisheng¡¯s collarbone. His expression was mild but his gaze was still focused. Yisheng also lowered her head and looked. Then, she was shocked, the wedding dress had slipped down and exposed more than half her chest, her cleavage was gradually being exposed. Song Anchen was looking down from above her, and this was undoubtedly very revealing and very tempting. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± Song Anchen smiled at Yisheng and Yisheng also raised her head to look at him. The sunlight from outside the window shone between them, illuminating them and giving them a faint flow, looking very attractive. After that, they heard a click sound and the moment was captured in a photo. ¡°Channing, let¡¯s end here, it¡¯s about time,¡± Song Anchen walked over to Channing calmly, no longer looking at Yisheng. Channing nodded and wanted to say goodbye to Yisheng, but he was blocked by Song Anchen. He wanted to tilt his neck and talk to her, but Song Anchen dragged him downstairs. Song Anchen said, ¡°The stylist has been waiting for you for very long.¡± Channing could not do anything and could only raise his head and say to the upper level, ¡°Mrs. Song, goodbye.¡± ¡°Bye bye,¡± Yisheng who was sitting on the rattan chair did not dare to move. She was scared that if she moved, her dress would fall apart. After Song Anchen sent Channing to the doorway, he closed the door and went upstairs. When he went upstairs, he saw that Yisheng was seated at the same spot, like a sculpture, not daring to move about. Song Anchen leaned against the wall, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked like was watching a good drama, ¡°Wife, these few months, the daily massage was really not in vain. It¡¯s much bigger and very sexy, I like it.¡± Yisheng glared at him angrily but she was unable to go forward and pinch him. This man could never say nice things. ¡°My wife, do you want to thank me?¡± Song Anchen smiled and looked at Yisheng. Yisheng gritted her teeth, ¡°I want to skin you.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Song Anchen walked towards Yisheng. Yisheng had a bad feeling and she said, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Song Anchen had reached her side. He bent over and said in her ear, ¡°I¡¯m bringing you to skin me~¡± After he said that, he gnawed on her earlobe and reached out with his hands, carrying her up horizontally and bringing her to bed. That dress was casually pulled by Song Anchen on the way there and it slipped off, landing on the floor alone. Yisheng screamed. Song Anchen said innocently, ¡°I accidentally pulled on it. I didn¡¯t expect this dress to be so easy to pull apart.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who chose it,¡± As soon as she landed on the bed, Yisheng pulled on the quilt and wrapped her bare body up. Song Anchen blinked in surprise before he chuckled, looking quite helpless, ¡°I didn¡¯t choose this.¡± Yisheng¡¯s eyes twitched. If this was not chosen. by Song Anchen, who chose it? She immediately knew who it was¡­ who else could it be but Song Anchen¡¯s mother. Song Anchen¡¯s mother was the one who invited them to take wedding photos and she was the one who brought Song Anchen to the studio. Song Anchen¡¯s mother was indeed a warm-hearted comrade. She was helping with the ¡®eugenics problem¡¯ in the country¡­ Song Anchen lowered his head and gave Yisheng a gentle kiss on her forehead, whispering, ¡°We should accept Mom¡¯s kindness.¡± Actually, the beastly Song Anchen was just finding an excuse that Yisheng could not reject. CH 41.1 The day of the wedding had been fixed, it was on New Year¡¯s Day. Yisheng, as the bride-to-be, could not stay home and not work just because her wedding day was coming. She worked eight hours a day, five days a week as usual. After Zhao Jixiang made up with Xiao Zhuozi, she was very interested in the topic of weddings. She would occasionally ask Yisheng some private matters, causing Yisheng to not be able to answer even if she knew the answer, it was quite troubling. ¡°Why are you embarrassed? You¡¯re already married, I¡¯m just asking you for information,¡± Zhao Jixiang leaned against the pushcart, fiddling with the IV drip in her hand and saying carelessly. However, Yisheng was quite embarrassed. Yisheng felt that matters between a husband and wife in the bedroom were things that should not be shared. When Zhao Jixiang saw Yisheng¡¯s troubled experience, she did not keep asking. She straightened up and pushed the cart, preparing to ¡®patrol¡¯ the ward. Before she left, she smiled and turned around to say, ¡°Yisheng, after I¡¯m married, let¡¯s talk again.¡± Yisheng glared at her and said, ¡°Shameless.¡± ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve tasted the sweetness already,¡± Zhao Jixiang gave Yisheng a flying kiss and walked out, leaving Yisheng alone in the duty room. Seeing that there was no one else around and there was nothing else to do, Yisheng pulled out the ¡®Medical Care¡¯ book from the drawer to kill some time. But she had only looked through a few pages when a surgery department nurse walked in from the doorway. She was holding a medical record folder in her hand and hurriedly passed it to Yisheng, ¡°This is a patient that transferred here from the Union Hospital. This has the patient¡¯s medical record. Originally, the surgery was to be performed by Director Wang, but Director Wang¡¯s schedule was full, so he transferred it to Doctor Song. You can take this to him.¡± Yisheng took the medical folder and nodded. Although she was a little surprised about how the nurse in the Surgery Department asked her to pass the folder to Song Anchen instead of passing it to him herself. While she was still wondering, the nurse suddenly lowered her head, her face slightly pink as she pursed her lips and said, ¡°Well¡­ Nurse Ye, congratulations.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯m really envious that you¡¯re able to find a husband like Doctor Song,¡± She smiled bitterly. Then, she seemed to extract herself a little from her mood and forced a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll go first.¡± Although Yisheng found it a little strange, she did not know whether to laugh or to cry in reaction to this first blessing from someone. Could it be that she was too much like a tigress that the other nurses did not dare to approach Song Anchen anymore? When Yisheng arrived at Song Anchen¡¯s consulting room, she was speechless. This was her first time visiting Song Anchen¡¯s consulting room. Although she knew Song Anchen had a bit of OCD, it was only when she entered it that she could confirm that he was the ¡®virtuous husband and good father type¡¯. The decorations in his consulting room were the most orderly she had ever seen. At that moment, Song Anchen was diligently writing, not even raising an eyebrow. He maintained his original position as he said, ¡°Why do you have enough free time to come here?¡± Yisheng walked over to the empty seat opposite him. She passed the medical record folder to Song Anchen with both hands. However, Song Anchen only glanced at the exterior of the folder and frowned, ¡°Didn¡¯t I give it back to them? I won¡¯t be doing this surgery.¡± If Yisheng did not forget, the matter of who was to do the surgery was something that was decided by Director Wang right? And the beautiful lady from the surgery department was the one who had told her to come here. Why was Song Anchen trying to reject the surgery? When she was observing his expression, she noticed that Song Anchen¡¯s expression was bad. Yisheng found it a little strange, she did not do anything, why was the atmosphere so strange? At that moment, a nurse walked over. Seeing the ¡®Soon-to-be Mrs. Song¡¯, she was a little awkward. Yisheng looked at the situation, not speaking. Song Anchen glanced over at the nurse that was hesitating and not coming in, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± That nurse walked in and smiled at Yisheng. Then, she told Song Anchen, ¡°The patient at G13 wants to see you.¡± Song Anchen frowned, his good-looking brows were furrowed together, and he looked very unwilling to go. Yisheng was a little confused, with Song Anchen¡¯s professionalism, why would he reject a patient¡¯s invitation? However, Song Anchen immediately gave Yisheng an answer. He said, ¡°Come on, come with me.¡± Yisheng was slightly stunned and looked at Song Anchen in confusion. However, Song Anchen¡¯s expression was too calm and it was hard for her to understand what he was feeling. When Yisheng followed Song Anchen over, troubled, she finally understood why he was acting strangely. In the high-class bed, Lin Ruohan¡¯s face was pale, her sparse hair made her look even more sickly. She looked at them with an extremely empty smile, ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Yisheng was very shocked, looking at Song Anchen with disbelief. Song Anchen said, ¡°Thyroid cancer.¡± Lin Ruohan smiled and said, ¡°Brother Song, I¡¯ll place my life in your hands.¡± Song Anchen smiled lightly, ¡°Undifferentiated cancer, the surgery is quite easy.¡± Lin Ruohan nodded and turned her gaze to Yisheng, ¡°I heard that Sister Ye is a nurse in the inpatient department, I¡¯ll have to trouble you in the future.¡± Yisheng was stunned, she could not believe that the once arrogant woman would look so sickly in front of her. Even when she was speaking, her voice was very light, like she could have trouble breathing at any moment. Lin Ruohan seemed to understand what Yisheng was feeling, but she had turned her gaze elsewhere, landing on a faraway place, seeming to be looking at something. CH 41.2 After that, Song Anchen explained that when she had first transferred to this hospital, he was the one who had taken up the operation. But when he went to see her, she refused to let him be the main surgeon. He felt guilty and asked Director Wang, a famous doctor in the hospital to take over. But unexpectedly, some things happened and the surgery ended up with him again. Perhaps Lin Ruohan knew the issues that surrounded this matter, along with the pressure in her heart, thus, she relaxed a little on the matter. The day before Lin Ruohan¡¯s surgery, Yisheng was the one taking care of her. In the beginning, Lin Ruohan did not really speak, letting Yisheng do whatever she wanted, but she kept staring at her the whole time. Yisheng tried her best to ignore it and focused on doing her own stuff. It was only on the night before the surgery, the day Song Anchen and Yisheng were both on night duty that Lin Ruohan said to Yisheng, when Yisheng was pulling out a needle, ¡°You¡¯re truly an enviable woman.¡± Yisheng raised her head to look at Lin Ruohan. Lin Ruohan raised her head, turning her head to look into the night where the full moon was shining, ¡°The first time I saw Brother Song was at the airport. He was accompanying his father to pick up me and my mom. I saw a very pretty boy from a distance away, he had big eyes and when I looked over, I felt my heart melt. I don¡¯t believe in love and first sight, and instead felt it was more important that the person was outstanding. I¡¯ve also seen many pretty boys, but that one look made me fascinated.¡± Yisheng did not know how to respond. She had never thought that she would one day hear Lin Ruohan¡¯s story. ¡°But he happened to have a childhood sweetheart. A woman that was good for nothing and not as good as me in every way,¡± Lin Ruohan looked at Yisheng, no longer laughing mockingly. Instead, she was smiling bitterly. ¡°And she was even a dumb woman,¡± Lin Ruohan raised her head, her gaze staring at the ceiling. However, from the corner of her eye, a line of tears followed down and she said, her voice nasally, ¡°Every time you got close to other boys, do you know how bad Brother Song feels? But he was a proud person, not willing to show anything,¡± Lin Ruohan started to laugh mockingly, ¡°When you went to He Jin¡¯s house for tutoring, the fool followed behind you because it was too late and he was worried that something would happen to you. And I could only follow behind him, looking at the fool protect you in such a humble manner.¡± ¡°But as expected, Brother Song stopped He Jin and beat him up the next afternoon. I thought he was just trying to release his anger. But unexpectedly, he told He Jin to not bring you to his house at night in the future. And even if he did bring you over at night, he needed to send you home safely. Look, isn¡¯t this man so interesting?¡± Lin Ruohan smiled, but her gaze was still shining with tears, ¡°He was so protective of you¡­¡± Lin Ruohan paused and laughed self-mockingly, ¡°I thought that all I needed to do was be as stubborn as you and make him angry. But I had too high an opinion of myself. No matter how stubborn and rude I was, he always said that it didn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Only Ye Yisheng could move him. What were other women in his eyes? He would only focus on Ye Yisheng and protect her well,¡± Lin Ruohan finally turned her gaze to Yisheng, ¡°Even on the day of my birthday, I thought that I could dominate, that he would pay a little attention to me. As a result¡­¡± Lin Ruohan¡¯s face was expressionless and she stopped talking. Yisheng¡¯s chest felt so stuffy that she could not breathe. Suddenly, everyone was quiet. Lin Ruohan opened her mouth again, ¡°If I had met Brother Song first, what would you be to him?¡± ¡°Just tell me directly what exactly you want to say,¡± Towards Lin Ruohan¡¯s provocation, she wanted to go straight to the point. Lin Ruohan shrugged, expressing her innocence, ¡°I heard that the two of you are getting married. Congratulations.¡± Yisheng was stunned. Lin Ruohan threw the cotton ball in her hand away and lay calmly in bed, not really smiling, ¡°Brother Song said, even if he got to know me first, you¡¯re still the same person, and you¡¯re still the wife he wants. He wants you, not because of his responsibility, and not because you¡¯re his childhood sweetheart. There¡¯s only one reason, he can¡¯t find a second Ye Yisheng, the woman that has his heart.¡± ¡°Is that really what Song Anchen said?¡± Based on Yisheng¡¯s impression of Song Anchen, he was not very romantic. Lin Ruohan chuckled and smiled, ¡°As expected.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who understands Brother Song the best¡­ Brother Song¡¯s original words were ¡®Ye Yisheng was born to be Song Anchen¡¯s wife.¡± As expected, he was arrogant as usual. Yisheng¡¯s face turned dark. But she found it strange, why was Lin Ruohan telling her so many things? Lin Ruohan noticed her inquiring eyes and said lightly, ¡°I¡¯ve learned a lot from your performance over the past few days. No one wanted that to happen. Not only I was the victim, but you and Brother Song were both victims as well. It¡¯s just that unfortunately, you two fell in love. It was only natural. It was always on my mind because it was a great blow to my heart. I¡¯ve always given you bad looks and treated you badly, making you do random chores. You really took care of me in every way, causing me to feel embarrassed for continuing to hold a grudge from the past.¡± Yisheng smiled, ¡°You¡¯ve let go of past grievances?¡± ¡°No, I still can¡¯t do that,¡± Lin Ruohan sighed, ¡°I told you so much today as a way to compensate you. I don¡¯t know if I can get out alive.¡± ¡°Your illness isn¡¯t as serious as you¡¯ve imagined it to be.¡± ¡°Haha, I know myself.¡± Yisheng could not say anything more. As a nurse, she could not stay in her room for too long. She smiled and left the room. Lin Ruohan watched her leave, her face instantly turning pale as she broke out in sweat because of the pain. Only she knew about her illness. When it was finally time for them to end work at night, Yisheng walked out of the hospital and saw the car plate with five eights¡­ She opened the door and entered the car, seeing Song Anchen smoking. She took away the cigarette in his mouth and said, ¡°Don¡¯t smoke in the future, it¡¯s a slow suicide.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t quit,¡± Song Anchen smiled and pinched Yisheng¡¯s cheeks. He started the engine and prepared to drive but Yisheng grabbed Song Anchen¡¯s hand at the moment and said, ¡°Quit smoking.¡± Song Anchen raised her eyebrow, signaling to her that she was caring too much. Yisheng poked out her tongue mischievously, ¡°Because I¡¯m by your side now.¡± Song Anchen did not say anything, simply looking t her quietly for a few minutes before starting the car and going home¡­ When the car reached the garage and he parked it. Song Anchen suddenly leaned over and kissed Yisheng. It was full of force and Yisheng was shocked, making slight sounds of protests that were drowned out by his burning kiss. A beast¡¯s explosive power was always stronger than the ordinary person. Song Anchen was practically the representative of beasts. On the car, he did not mind doing beastly matters. Thankfully, Yisheng was still sane and managed to take a breath and told him, ¡°We can¡¯t do it here.¡± ¡°I think we can.¡± ¡°¡­¡± At around five in the morning, it was still dark outside in the early winter, the perfect time for doing bad things, especially the kind of things that beasts liked to do. CH 42.1 Chapter 42.1 - Returning Home~ Yisheng probably had never expected that she would meet Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother again. That woman was enchanting. Even at her age, she was still fashionable. On the day of the surgery, she game wearing a tight nylon coat and a white fox shawl. She still looked like a rich lady. Judy was holding onto her arm and the two of them came from the corridor with a cold aura. ¡°Ruohan, don¡¯t be scared,¡± Judy leaned against Lin Ruohan¡¯s bed. She looked very worried, but she was trying her best to comfort Lin Ruohan. Lin Ruohan avoided her hands and turned her gaze to her mother, ¡°Mom, why did you rush here from the capital?¡± ¡°I told you not to come to B City, it¡¯s such an unlucky place and you¡¯ve met such unlucky people,¡± Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother seemed very angry and glared at Yisheng, her gaze full of hate. Yisheng, who was standing at the side noticed that the gaze was not friendly and simply said to Lin Ruohan, ¡°The surgery is at ten-thirty, you normally go in half an hour before.¡± Lin Ruohan nodded but her mother kept asking, ¡°Who¡¯s the main surgeon? What is their background?¡± Lin Ruohan seemed a little helpless, ¡°Mom~¡± Yisheng answered, ¡°Song Anchen.¡± Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother seemed quite shocked. She stiffly turned her head to look towards Lin Ruohan, looking disappointed, ¡°You¡­ haven¡¯t you learned your lesson yet? Do you want to embarrass yourself again?¡± ¡°Mom, he¡¯s a doctor and I¡¯m a patient, that¡¯s all,¡± Lin Ruohan was suddenly a little tired. She pinched her forehead, her gaze filled with helplessness. At that moment, the other nurses from the surgery department walked in, it looked like they had to begin the preparations for surgery. The few people in the room were made to go outside and wait. Yisheng wanted to turn around and leave when Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother suddenly said, ¡°Are your parents alright?¡± Yisheng did not know if she was being polite or had other intentions. As a junior, Yisheng answered, ¡°My mother passed away six years ago, my dad¡¯s doing very well now.¡± ¡°Your mom passed away? Your dad was let out?¡± Yisheng was a little surprised. Lin Ruohan¡¯s mother knew that her dad had gone to prison? Yisheng nodded and before she had time to think about the matter, Lin Ruohan had been pushed out. Her mother¡¯s focus has shifted and Yisheng took the chance to quietly leave. Yisheng returned to her station and waited for her shift to end. Zhao Jixiang, who was there to take over the next shift walked over wearing her nurse uniform. She sat next to Yisheng and said, ¡°You¡¯re going to be the bride-to-be in three days, are you nervous?¡± ¡°The nervous phase has already passed¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, the wedding date has been delayed by almost two months, it¡¯s not even popular news anymore,¡± Zhao Jixiang got closer to her and muttered, ¡°When I was in the changing room, I heard a nurse say that Doctor Yan is returning.¡± Yisheng looked at Zhao Jixiang in shock, it¡¯s only been three months, was he done with his studies? ¡°I think he must be back to attend your wedding.¡± ¡°Senior didn¡¯t tell me,¡± Yisheng was a little distracted. It seemed that she had been a little ¡®distracted by love and forsaken friendship¡¯ lately. She had not looked at MSN or her email in a while. Just as Zhao Jixiang said, when Yisheng went home, she opened her computer and saw a few unread emails, and they were all from her senior. The content was mostly him checking up on her and the recent email was to tell Yisheng that he was returning to the country to prepare to migrate. Yan Heng¡¯s father was a diplomat and it was unsurprising. Yisheng only felt that it was quite sudden, was he just leaving like that? So, she sent her senior an email. After she pressed on the send button, Yisheng did not think much of it and burrowed into her covers again, waiting for Song Anchen to return home. But early in the morning the day after her email was sent, her mobile phone rang at a bad time. Yisheng blearily wanted to open her eyes, but she kept failing to. She had to fumble around the bedside table, but heard the refreshing voice of a man nearby, ¡°Hello? Well, she was tired out last night. Okay, bye.¡± Yisheng raised her head and saw the already cleaned-up Song Anchen, ¡°Whose phone call is that?¡± ¡°Yan Heng,¡± Song Anchen passed her her clothes and Yisheng grabbed on tightly to the covers. Her white shoulders were exposed and her face was red. She lightly coughed, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let me answer the phone?¡± ¡°I saw that you were still sleeping.¡± Bullshit! She had her eyes half-opened as she looked at him and Song Anchen had met her gaze for a moment. Would someone be sleeping with their eyes open? Yisheng snatched her phone back and dialled her seniors¡¯ phone number. There was a questioning voice coming from the other end, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Senior,¡± Yisheng smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yep, I flew back in the early morning today, but it seems that I interrupted your sleep,¡± A gentle voice came from the other end, as gentle as water. Yisheng smiled, a little embarrassed, ¡°You didn¡¯t, I just love to stay in bed.¡± ¡°You have work today?¡± ¡°Uh,¡± Yisheng was suddenly dazed. She truly did not remember whether she had work today. She glanced around and saw Song Anchen sitting on the bed and looking at her unhappily. Yisheng covered the receiver of the phone, asking Song Anchen in a small voice, ¡°Did you apply for leave?¡± ¡°I did,¡± Song Anchen said. Yisheng told the phone, ¡°I don¡¯t have work today, but I need to accompany Song¡­¡± Before Yisheng finished speaking, she felt the cold aura from Song Anchen. She swallowed the ¡®Song Anchen¡¯ back and changed what she was saying, feeling somewhat wronged, ¡°I need to accompany my husband to do some wedding things.¡± There was a silence on the other end of the phone, ¡°When are you getting married?¡± ¡°There are two more days¡­ New Year¡¯s Day.¡± ¡°What a coincidence that I¡¯m back. I definitely need to attend,¡± The voice was a little awkward, ¡°Congratulations on your marriage.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± The conversation between the two seemed so stiff that they hung up the phone and Yisheng felt that it was over. Song Anchen, who was sitting by the bed, seemed to feel the strange atmosphere. His expression warmed up and he rubbed Yisheng¡¯s hair and said, ¡°Go wash up. We¡¯re going to City A to pick up my father today.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± CH 42.2 The two of them hurried to City A and returned to their respective homes. When Yisheng opened her house door, she was extremely shocked. She had not expected a guest at home and had definitely not expected the guest to be Yan Heng, her senior that did not know her father at all. When Ye Yisheng¡¯s father saw that Yisheng had returned he told Yan Heng, who was sitting on the sofa, ¡°Speaking of the devil. She¡¯s back.¡± Yan Heng only smiled at Yisheng, who was in shock. Yisheng walked forward and smiled, ¡°Senior, why are you here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have work today either and was bored so I came to see a friend.¡± ¡°Friend?¡± Yisheng looked at her father in shock. Her father said, feeling wronged, ¡°I¡¯m innocent. Your senior is just here to give you a present.¡± Yisheng looked over in shock and saw Yan Heng smiling at her warmly, ¡°Should I not have come? I didn¡¯t know that you would be busy today,¡± His tone was a little wronged and Yisheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Yisheng¡¯s father did not want to intrude on their private conversation and made an excuse to go to Song Anchen¡¯s house next door. When there were only the two of them left in the house, Yan Heng said, ¡°Where will your wedding be held?¡± ¡°Song Anchen said that it would be held in City B. He wants to hold a larger scale one, but I think it¡¯s quite troublesome.¡± ¡°It¡¯ll be good if your wedding is of a larger scale so that everyone will know about it. If there are any issues, it¡¯ll be hard to get a divorce,¡± Yan Heng was teasing Yisheng as he winked at her. Yisheng was stunned for a moment before she chuckled. She did not know if there would be any accident in the future. Yan Heng suddenly sighed, ¡°Yisheng, how time flies. I remember when I first met you, you were so young. Now, you¡¯re going to get married,¡± Yan Heng raised his arm and habitually rubbed her hair. Unexpectedly, this was seen by Song Anchen who just came in. However, this time, Song Anchen did not look as cold as he had in the morning. Instead, he came with a pleasant expression, sat down next to her, hugged her, and said to Yan Heng, ¡°Doctor Yan, how is it like, studying abroad?¡± ¡°Thanks to you, I¡¯ll have a bright future,¡± Yan Heng¡¯s tone was gentle as usual and he smiled and said. It was obvious that the two of them did not like each other. Although it did not seem obvious on the surface, it could be felt from their conversation. Yan Heng was good at reading the situation. The husband wasn¡¯t welcoming towards him, what was the use of him staying there? Naturally, he wanted to leave. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re leaving so soon?¡± Yisheng did not know that the two of them did not like each other and thought that they were quite friendly towards each other. ¡°I¡¯ll send you out,¡± Song Anchen was especially enthusiastic at that moment. He took a step forward and blocked Yisheng, smiled at Yan Heng. Yan Heng smiled and told Yisheng, ¡°Junior, I¡¯ll leave first,¡± After that, he looked at Song Anchen, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± ¡°It isn¡¯t troublesome at all.¡± Song Anchen always believed in doing things all the way. After he sent Yan Heng downstairs, Yan Heng suddenly opened his mouth, ¡°Let¡¯s drink some tea together and have a chat.¡± Song Anchen frowned, not agreeing. ¡°You¡¯ve already married her, what¡¯s there to worry about?¡± Yan Heng smiled, his tone was a little mocking. Only then did Song Anchen nod his head and smile back mockingly, ¡°I¡¯m just worried some people would try to make trouble.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s impossible for me,¡± Suddenly, Yan Heng¡¯s voice had a hidden sadness to it, full of helplessness. Song Anchen was stunned by his emotions. The two of them found a random teahouse and sat down. At the start, the two of them kept quiet and drank a few mouthfuls of tea. They had to talk after they drank some tea, and as the one who invited the other, Yan Heng opened his mouth first, ¡°Do you know when the first time I saw Yisheng was?¡± ¡°Yisheng mentioned that you were to one who picked her up at the welcoming ceremony for new students.¡± ¡°Actually, that¡¯s not true,¡± Yan Heng smiled, ¡°It was in the hospital.¡± Song Anchen was stunned, the shock in his gaze was hard to hide. He was smart enough to know what she was at the hospital for. ¡°At that time, I had a classmate interning at the obstetrics and gynecology department. I was asked to bring something and I went into the obstetrics and gynecology department. There was a little girl that had big and small bags of luggage around her. It didn¡¯t look like she was on holiday, it looked like she was moving. She was sitting on a chair in the corridor of the Gynecology department, holding a piece of paper in her hand. Her eyes were full of anxiety and fear. Like a frightened rabbit who was about to lose her mind, worried and frightened.¡± Suddenly, Song Anchen did not know what to say. ¡°At that time, I thought, did the girl have an unspeakable disease? But in the end, a nurse came out of the abortion room and asked her to go in, and I knew what was going on,¡± Yan Heng smiled helplessly. ¡°This sort of matter is nothing much, It¡¯s just that the next thing was too unexpected.¡± Song Anchen¡¯s gaze flashed with a little nervousness. Yisheng did not want to answer questions about how she had once been pregnant, and he refused to bring it up. All he knew was that she had been pregnant before, but she had lost the child. Naturally, what he had thought of was an abortion. ¡°Yisheng followed the nurse in but it had only been around thirty seconds when she ran out, carrying her luggage and hurriedly leaving.¡± Song Anchen was shocked and he understood. That time, Yisheng had changed her mind at the last minute and did not get an abortion. But Yan Heng¡¯s next few words made Song Anchen¡¯s heart ache, ¡°Yisheng¡¯s child had been lost due to natural causes.¡± Song Anchen looked at Yan Heng who had a wry smile. Yan Heng said, ¡°During the freshman military training, she kept asking for leave. The instructor got angry and she was punished to run around the field for more than ten laps, and it was then that she lost the child. She was a strong girl. She dealt with the loss by herself, and continued normal military training. But unexpectedly, it was not done cleanly, and she had to secretly go and get her womb cleaned.¡± ¡°She told you all of these?¡± Song Anchen¡¯s voice seemed a little hoarse. He had never known that Yisheng had been unwilling to lose the child, and had never thought about how much trouble that child would cause her. ¡°No, it was my friend who was doing an internship in obstetrics and gynecology at that time. He told me,¡± Yan Heng still remembered the shock when his gossipy classmate talked about Yisheng, and also remembers that sentence, ¡°A few days ago, a girl came to clean her womb. You can¡¯t imagine how calm she was. She had a miscarriage and solved it by herself. The girl said casually that she went to the toilet and bled, and the child flowed down, so she thought it was okay. God, the girl is really too calm.¡± He was very shocked by Yisheng as well. How could she not take care of herself? If one cleaned their womb, the damage caused was very large. There was no need to do that. Song Anchen was quiet the whole time, his face expressionless as he said, ¡°Thank you for telling me about this.¡± Yan Heng smiled, but there was still a layer of secrets in his heart that no one knew about. CH 43.1 The first time Yan Heng had heard of Yisheng¡¯s name was not during the opening ceremony. He found out her name by accident. He spent the summer vacation at his home in the capital. His father was a diplomat who was approved to be stationed in the United States last month and was promoted two ranks, it was something worth celebrating. Yan Heng¡¯s mother was extremely happy because his mother liked western things. His aunt who moved to City A came back one night and sat in front of Yan Heng¡¯s mother crying. Yan Heng was not a nosy person. He quickly headed back to his room to play with his computer. He played for a while and felt thirsty, wanting to head downstairs to pour himself a cup of tea. He passed by the guestroom and heard, ¡°Cousin, can you ask brother-in-law to help me mess with Song Zheng and that Ye Tianming. They¡¯ll be running for election in a while and I want to ruin their reputation. I almost lost Ruohan, she¡¯s the most important thing in my life. If that Ye Yisheng vixen didn¡¯t seduce Song Zheng¡¯s son, my Ruohan wouldn¡¯t end up like this. Every time I see the scar on Ruohan¡¯s arm, my heart feels like it¡¯s being cut by a knife. That stupid vixen, Ye Yisheng, must be gloating now, causing my daughter to end up like that.¡± Yan Heng¡¯s mother comforted her, ¡°I¡¯ll ask your brother-in-law to pay attention to this matter.¡± Yan Heng stood outside the door, the keyword that his brain extracted was: His dad was going to make life difficult for the people his aunt did not like, called Song Zheng and Ye TIanming. And there was someone called Ye Yisheng who was a vixen. Afterward, Yan Heng ignored the conversation he accidentally overheard. He was still the obedient son of his family and had a very ordinary summer vacation. Until¡­ The summer vacation was about to end, he was watching TV in the hall, and there was a phone call at home. It was his aunt. He handed the phone to his mother who was also watching TV. ¡°Song Zheng is not bad, we couldn¡¯t find anything bad about him. But that Ye Tianming had some shady business, he embezzled a hundred thousand, we could make trouble from there.¡± From the other end of the phone came a harsh voice with gritting teeth, ¡°The bigger you make it, the better. So he is such a person. No wonder his daughter is like that. Like father, like daughter. Hmph¡­¡± This was the first time Yan Heng saw his aunt like that. From his past impression, his aunt was a high-profile woman who really cared about her appearance. Although she would be a little sour and petty, she was not the kind of person who insisted on revenge. He had never seen her attack a person with such indignation before. And Yan Heng had thought that his mother was not a busybody. Something must have happened here, right? Yan Heng looked at his mother, who had already hung up, questioningly. His gaze showed his inquisitiveness with a slight bit of surprise. Yan Heng¡¯s mother pursed her lips, ¡°Your aunt has gone crazy with anger, it¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Yan Heng continued to look at his mother with a puzzled expression. ¡°Your cousin was r*ped, because of Ye Yisheng.¡± This was something he only knew then, that his cousin, whom he was not very close to and had only seen a few times had been through such things and the reason was Ye Yisheng, that little vixen. His mother had asked his father, who was an official, to deal with that vixen¡¯s family with sisterhood in mind. At that time, he had only said ¡®oh¡¯ casually, his gaze was very calm, and it seemed like it was irrelevant to him. It was true that he was an outsider in this matter. An ordinary outsider who was just a passer-by. It was only when he was in the hospital that he met the so-called vixen. ¡°Ye Yisheng,¡± A nurse walked out from the abortion room and shouted. When he saw the girl sitting on the chair, crying, curled up in the corner, surrounded by large and small bags of luggage, looking up and around, he thought, is this the vixen? She did not look like one at all. Vixens did not look like this. In his imagination, a vixen should have foxy eyes, with a charming smile, seductive gaze. Unlike the girl in front of him, that was like a wounded deer, scared and pathetic. He kept denying it in his heart. Although he knows the name Ye Yisheng¡­ was very special. At that time, Yan Heng just sighed a little. The girl was going to the abortion room. Coupled with her actions, it must be the outcome of accidental pregnancy. Maybe it was committed by her youth and ignorance. Was she angry and running away from home or afraid of being blamed by her parents? When he was making a guess, that girl had run away. The fear in her eyes hid a hard to detect caring look, she seemed to not want to abort that child. He was stunned, stunned at this unexpected girl. Yan Heng always smiled bitterly every time he thought about it. The truth was, Ye Yisheng was really a vixen. She was not the kind of seductive vixen, which makes men have primitive impulses. She was the kind of spirit that ate bones, seeping into the blood and bone bit by bit. And he did not have the fate to get together with that vixen. She had her own story without him in it. He had missed the purest years in her life, and he was bloodied. He knew that he did not have any chance with her. CH 43.2 When he got the list of freshmen, Ye Yisheng was on it, she came from City A, his heart beat faster, with some kind of unknown fear. That vixen, unexpectedly, had appeared in his life one day. Yan Heng stood at the gate of the school and looked at a petite girl, holding big and small bags of things, walking towards him step by step. He looked at her like that, with unspeakable heartache in his heart. The little vixen was someone that made people¡¯s hearts ache for her. Yan Heng did not know what happened to him? He could have a completely separate life from her in the future, but he deceived her, saying that he was from her hometown, and asked for her telephone number. He did not know what was wrong with him. As long as she had a bit of difficulty, he could not help thinking about solving it for her, helping her prevent all her troubles, and hope that she would be well. Yan Heng has been unable to believe that someone that looked so delicate would be so calm in the face of miscarriage. Perhaps this was the deepest secret in her heart that she did not want people to know. She tried her best to keep her calm, but such things could not be kept a secret. When he found out, his heart ached even more. He thought that because of this, he was even less willing to give up on her. Sometimes he would think, why did his heart ache for her? Was it when the first time he heard her name and he thought she was a vixen but realized that she was nothing like that when he first met her? Or was it during the welcoming ceremony, when he saw her walking with much difficulty? Or perhaps, it was when he walked up to her and helped her pick up her backpack, casually asking, ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Ye Yisheng.¡± Or perhaps, it was because of those words. Ye Yisheng¡­ That vixen. He knew that it was impossible. The unremovable scars told him that it was impossible between them. Someone who was originally just watching the show had entered the show where the ending had been fixed a long time ago. But why would Yisheng ask: Senior, do you like me? Yan Heng did not know what to say. He had never imagined that this day would come. He just wanted to treat her well and that was enough for him. He kept forcing himself to stop thinking about it, about whether he liked that vixen or not. He wanted to stop himself, so in the last year he was taking care of her, he said that he had a girlfriend. Perhaps he was lying to himself, but he knew better than anyone else how could he bear to let go of that vixen? A few years later, he thought that he could let her go. His mother had arranged a marriage for him to a daughter from a high-ranked family, she was gentle and demure, and he thought she was not bad. He did not have any requests and had always been uncaring about such things. It was only when it came to that little vixen that he would feel moved. She called him and said that she was going to City B. His reply was: I¡¯m at City B. Actually, he had returned to his hometown, and he was in the capital. He did not hesitate at all and got on a flight to City B, taking care of everything as he waited for her. All he wanted to do was treat her well enough to make up for all the hard times she had gone through in the past. That was all he wanted to do. Yan Heng knew that her childhood sweetheart was Song Anchen. He thought that he would finally be able to leave his position as her protector. As a man himself, he knew too clearly that the complicated feelings in the gaze were the deep feelings that had not been let go of. He thought that he did not lose in terms of how strong his feelings were. He lost in terms of time, he lost to the joke played by the heavens. He never would have won. SO when they got together, all he did was smile until his eyes could no longer cry. He smiled, like the flowers that bloomed in spring. Yan Heng thinks Song Anchen is a petty man. He was truly really petty. Yan Heng was just her senior, but he was so worried. Song Anchen had been willing to give up a great opportunity, to give it to him and send him far away. Originally, the quota for studying in France was specially obtained by his mentor Professor Zhou, but he asked to step down and recommended Yan Heng by name. After he learned that, he wanted to laugh. Firstly he felt that Song Anchen was so childish, that he was too eager to drive away his rival. On the other hand, he was a little helpless. At least Song Anchen had the right to defend his territorial rights, while Yan Heng had nothing. Yan Heng left without any comment. Perhaps this was the best time for him to extract himself from this situation. Didn¡¯t someone say that time was the best medicine to heal all wounds? He thought that he would be able to prove this statement right as well. He learned a lot in France and lived a full life. Every day, he would open his email and write about some trivial things and send the email to her. Even if she did not answer, he still opened his email every night, writing an email and sending it. This seemed to have become a habit. Another habit he developed for her. It was only when his mother told him that Ruohan was ill, and her illness happened to be a type of illness that he was specializing in. She asked him to come back for assurance since he was someone they knew. He actually returned to City B early, but he never told her. He treated Ruohan in Union Medical College Hospital for several days. Finally, he could not help telling Ruohan something about some things concerning Yisheng. Ruohan was miserable, but she was not the only victim, because of her, Yisheng might be infertile, and this had also ruined her family. Song Anchen had a hard time in recent years as well. He asked Ruohan why she needed to keep hating them. Ruohan did not say anything but, ¡°Help me change my hospital, I want to go to the Third Affiliated Hospital, in Song Anchen¡¯s department.¡± Yan Heng smiled and nodded. That little vixen should be happy now. He thought that he might never return to City B again. He didn¡¯t have a home here or roots. He had nothing. He thought that he should go take a look at the man whom his family had ruined. Ye Yisheng¡¯s father, Ye Tianming. The second he saw the hearty old man open the door, his nervous heart became much more relaxed, and he felt happier. He called himself Yisheng¡¯s senior, that because he was going overseas and he was in a hurry to hand her the gift, he came over here. After that, he talked to Ye Tianming about a lot of things. Ye Tianming was a very talkative man. Every time Ye Tianming smiled at him, he felt apologetic, a stone in his heart that could not be removed in his heart, causing him to have difficulty breathing. He felt that there were some things that he could not let go of. Even if he kept going there to make atonement, he could not get over it himself. He was that kind of person, the kind that could not stand owing anyone anything. When he saw that vixen again, her expression was full of happiness, she seemed to still be very happy when she saw him. Seeing her happy was something that made him the happiest. Song Anchen was still the same way he was, not willing to see Yan Heng touch his baby. He read the situation well and said his goodbyes. He had managed to reach his goal and he could leave happily. Although his chest felt stuffy occasionally, and he would feel sad for a while. Although he knew that Song Anchen treated her well, he thought that since the two of them got together, Song Anchen had the right to know the truth about the hardships Yisheng had gone through, but with Yisheng¡¯s character, she would never tell him those things. He decided to be a busybody for once. Anyway, he had nothing to do. And this time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He talked about Yisheng¡¯s miscarriage in the North and witnessed the slightly moving expression on the man¡¯s face in front of him. ¡°Thank you for telling me about this matter,¡± Song Anchen is very calm. He knows that this is song Anchen¡¯s character. He was obviously not feeling that calm in his heart. The eyes are the window of the heart and there were a series of complex emotions in his eyes, such as anxiety, sadness, compassion, and so on, which were familiar to Yan Heng. Because he had felt that way before, and no one could understand what kind of state of mind that was. He did not tell him everything. He was worried that if someone found out the truth, she would not talk to him from now on. All he wanted now was for her to smile when she saw him. Thus, he wanted to bury his secrets little by little on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and never return. Ye Yisheng was still a little vixen that was his junior. And he would be her senior all his life¡­ CH 44.1 Song Anchen¡¯s heart ached a lot for Yisheng. When he returned home, he saw Yisheng chatting with her father on the porch swing. Her face was filled with a different smile. It was faint but very comfortable. Song Anchen could not help smiling along. At the bottom of his heart, he secretly made a promise. Although he had made that promise a long time ago in his heart, he knew that at that moment, there was no changing it. He took a deep breath and walked to stand in front of Yisheng, who was smiling and laughing, gently stopping her. His movements were so skillful and natural, he did not feel any need to hold back in front of Yisheng¡¯s father. Yisheng¡¯s father was shocked by Song Anchen¡¯s sudden appearance and smiled bitterly as he said, ¡°Anchen, why did you appear so quietly? Appearing from behind suddenly.¡± Song Anchen responded, ¡°It¡¯s because dad was so happy talking to my wife that you forgot about me,¡± He teased, causing Yisheng¡¯s father to laugh and say helplessly, ¡°Enough, enough, Anchen¡¯s mouth does not hold back, he¡¯s still so petty, using tricks to say that I¡¯m disturbing your wife too much.¡± ¡°Dad¡­¡± Yisheng acted cute, then used her eyes to scold Song Anchen. She had just turned her head around when Song Anchen quickly kissed her, then thick-skinnedly said, ¡°I have received my wife¡¯s reward.¡± Yisheng suddenly felt very weak. She did not know what to do in the face of a thick-skinned person. That night, Song Anchen insisted on staying in Yisheng¡¯s room, using beastly words to say, ¡°This bed has my wife¡¯s scent.¡± Yisheng rolled her eyes, ¡°What scent?¡± ¡°The scent of the flame of desire burning one¡¯s body,¡± Song Anchen smiled and said, his eyes turning into a line, looking like a smiling tiger. Yisheng could not help but tremble. She had a feeling what kind of actions would happen after a beast smelled such a scent. But that night, Song Anchen simply hugged Yisheng tightly and did not do anything else. Yisheng was especially speechless. She felt that it was strange that Song Anchen was not acting beastly and could not sleep. When she opened her eyes to look at him, she found that Song Anchen was looking at her attentively and Yisheng was a little surprised, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you not sleeping too?¡± Song Anchen instantly answered. Yisheng was instantly dumbfounded, she did not know how to tell him why she was not sleeping. However, at that moment, Song Anchen was acting very properly, he did not show off his beastly characteristics and simply smiled as he hugged Yisheng. He said thoughtfully, ¡°Yisheng, I¡¯ve stayed here for a night before.¡± When Yisheng heard that, she was stunned. Song Anchen on the other hand, kept hugging her tightly, ¡°That day, I was half drunk and half awake, but I let myself go wild.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yisheng was extremely shocked by the information that Song Anchen gave, she could not believe that Song Anchen agreed to her ¡®out of ordinary¡¯ actions, and had cooperated with her? ¡°The Yisheng at that time,¡± Song Anchen winked at her and held Yisheng¡¯s hand, holding it in his palm, pressing her hand on his chest, ¡°She placed her hand on my chest and kept saying she was hot.¡± Yisheng gritted her teeth and her face turned red as well. ¡°Do you know what happened after?¡± Song Anchen narrowed his eyes and smiled. However, Yisheng had a bad feeling. When he smiled, it was normally nothing good. She looked at Song Anchen, face full of fear. Song Anchen did not speak instantly and instead, pulled Yisheng¡¯s hand into his shirt. The sudden heat on her hand caused Yisheng¡¯s face to turn hot as well. Song Anchen pulled her to him, ¡°You¡¯re so silly, of course, I have to guide you.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Yisheng stammered and could not speak. She knew what was going on now. Could it be that it wasn¡¯t her who forced him, but he who seduced her?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, wife,¡± Song Anchen¡¯s tone suddenly changed completely, lowering his head and pressing his head to her neck, his voice very sad. He should blame himself, if he had not lost himself in the moment and seduced her, causing her to get pregnant accidentally, and causing her to suffer so much. Yisheng did not say anything, simply leaning into him in his embrace. There was nothing to apologize about, nothing that wasn¡¯t worth it, it was only about whether the two of them had been willing or not. Because she liked Song Anchen so so much, and it had always been like that, without changing. Song Anchen lowered his head, holding Yisheng¡¯s innocent face, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡± ¡°Should I be saying something?¡± Yisheng¡¯s expression was questioning. She did not know what Song Anchen was trying to express and could only harmlessly blink her eyes¡­ Song Anchen sighed, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much, rest early, we have to do it for the first time as a married couple tomorrow.¡± ¡°¡­¡± It was their marriage day tomorrow, but having sex¡­ they seemed to have done it a few times already. The two of them were quiet again and Yisheng started to feel sleepy. She blearily heard someone talking to her and could only agree. ¡°Wife, I love you.¡± ¡°Mmhm.¡± ¡°Wife, you¡¯re silly.¡± ¡°Mmhm.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Wife, let¡¯s have sex now to test it out.¡± ¡°Mmhm.¡± Anyway, Yisheng was just about to sleep so whatever he said at this time, her answer would be ¡®mm¡¯! That was how Song Anchen found out and used that in the future, causing Yisheng to feel very frustrated. Song Anchen was not a beast wearing clothes. After he took off his clothes, he was not even worthy of being called a beast. CH 44.2 In the church near Waltz Square in City B, there was a large wedding being held. The church was full and the priest was standing under the cross, looking forward to the arrival of the bride. In front of the priest, Song Anchen was dressed in a white suit, with a tall body and a clear and handsome face. His whole appearance looked like a prince. The nurses sitting in the church couldn¡¯t help admiring him. The prince truly had an impressive aura. Zhao Jixiang looked envious and like a hungry wolf. It seemed that she wanted to swallow the priest. The priest felt Zhao Jixiang¡¯s burning gaze and glanced at her, shaking with fear. ¡°Your gaze is too heated,¡± Xiao Zhuozi reminded Zhao Jixiang. Zhao Jixiang glanced at him and thought he lacked an understanding of romantic matters. Wasn¡¯t her appearance just to deliver some real and reliable information? To tell Xiao Zhuozi what she wanted? However, the fool was pretending to be dumb¡­ She was extremely angry! When the door of the church was opened, Yisheng was held by her father and they walked slowly into the church in the bright backlight. At the moment when the church door opened, Yi Sheng saw him on the red carpet 50 meters away from her, with handsome eyebrows, smiling eyes and a peerless smile. Song Anchen¡¯s smile was the same as usual, very good-looking. Yisheng nervously moved closer to him. Ye Yisheng¡¯s father comforted her quietly, ¡°It¡¯s alright, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± ¡°There are too many people here, but I don¡¯t seem to know them? There are even foreigners?¡± Yisheng glanced around, surprised. ¡°Some old military comrades from mine and your Uncle Song¡¯s past, they rushed here from everywhere. The foreigners were probably invited by Anchen¡¯s mother. The two of them happened to walk past Song Anchen¡¯s mother. Song Anchen smiled at her, the dimples at her cheeks appeared, it was very sweet. Finally, they reached Song Anchen. Standing in front of Yisheng, she could not help blushing. Yisheng¡¯s father gave Song Anchen Yisheng¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll hand Yisheng to you, you¡¯ll have to take care of her in the future.¡± ¡°Yes, Dad,¡± Song Anchen grabbed her hand, saying in a small voice by her ear, ¡°You¡¯re mine now, everyone knows.¡± ¡°You¡¯re mine as well, and everyone knows,¡± Yisheng felt that those words held more weight when she said it. After all, Song Anchen was a hot commodity while she was a commodity who was not so popular. This should be something she said to the hot commodity, right? Song Anchen was stunned and smiled. The priest began to speak, ¡°I was valued by you and I was able to oversee this wedding. But my responsibility isn¡¯t just this wedding. In the future, I am willing to take responsibility for you no matter what problems you have. I hope you will be united forever. If your marriage is likely to break up, please discuss it with me before you make any major decision. Give God a chance to intervene. You will be very happy to find that through God, great achievements have been made between you, bringing family harmony, and helping you live a happy life.¡± Song Anchen and Yisheng nodded their heads. The priest continued with a satisfied smile, ¡°Now let¡¯s make a vow of marriage before God. I want to ask two people the same question. It¡¯s a very long question, but please answer it carefully. Please answer after listening to it: The groom, are you willing to take the bride as your wife, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, become one with her before God, love her, comfort her, respect her and protect her as you love yourself. Be loyal to him whether he is ill or healthy, rich or poor until he leaves the world?¡± Song Anchen turned his head towards Yisheng and blinked, ¡°I¡¯m willing to.¡± The priest then said, ¡°The bride, are you willing to marry the groom, live with him according to the teachings of the Bible, be one with him before God, love him, comfort him, respect him and protect him as you love yourself. Be loyal to him whether he is ill or healthy, rich or poor until he leaves the world?¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to,¡± Yisheng¡¯s expression was a little stiff. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re officially married now. Exchange rings.¡± When the best man handed them the ring, Yisheng was shocked to see it. There¡¯s no need to be so ostentatious, right? It was such a big diamond ring. The diamond shone brightly through the light projected from the church ceiling, shining so bright it caused Yisheng¡¯s eyes to ache. Song Anchen carefully took her hand, putting on a ring on her ring finger. Finally, he would no longer feel that her finger was empty and missing something. After Yisheng put on the ring for him. The entire church stood up and clapped to congratulate them. Yisheng took the opportunity to pull on Song Anchen¡¯s shirt and ask in a small voice, ¡°What if one day, you go back on your word?¡± ¡°It¡¯s simple¡­¡± Song Anchen said, ¡°You go back on your word too.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Song Anchen directly lifted her veil. The priest was in a mess and hurriedly said, ¡°No, no, it¡¯s not time to unveil¡­¡± Before the priest finished speaking, Song Anchen held her face with his hands and kissed it. The priest made a cross in front of his chest with a hand, closing his eyes and muttering, ¡°Lord, they are ignorant children, amen.¡± At this moment, Song Anchen¡¯s mother came over and whispered in Yisheng¡¯s ear. No one else knew what they were saying, causing Yisheng to burst into laughter. Song Anchen suddenly felt uneasy, looking at Song Anchen¡¯s mother with a questioning gaze. But Song Anchen suddenly felt uneasy, looking at his mother with a questioning gaze, but Song Anchen¡¯s mother was acting like it had nothing to do with her. She sat back in her original seat, ready to watch the drama unfold. The priest saw that the two of them had separated and continued the marriage procedure, ¡°The groom may now kiss the bride.¡± However¡­ Yisheng leaped forward towards Song Anchen and kissed him. ¡­ The whole venue suddenly became silent. The priest made a cross in front of his chest with one hand again, a face full of suffering, ¡°Lord, they are still ignorant children. Amen.¡± Yisheng laughed and told Song Anchen, ¡°It turns out, you¡¯re fated to be mine.¡± Song Anchen frowned and turned to look at his mother. His mother just poked out her tongue, shrugging to express that she was very innocent. Yisheng was in his arms, ¡°Do you remember what you picked at your one-year-old birthday?¡± (T/N: So there¡¯s a tradition that at a child¡¯s one-year-old birthday, that they place a bunch of items in front of them, and the child will pick something. Whatever the child picks is said to tell the future for the child. It¡¯s for fun mostly, but for example if a child pick something to do with sports/books, it¡¯s said that the child will like/do well in sports/studies ) ¡°¡­¡± Song Anchen said nothing, but his face was red, which was rare. Even though he was thick-skinned, he was unable to stop himself from feeling embarrassed.¡± Yisheng smiled gloatingly, a sweet feeling in her heart. When Song Anchen¡¯s mother saw how sweet they were, she smiled. Her son had finally ended up with his bride. Oh yeah! And as for what Song Anchen¡¯s mother told Yisheng? It was¡­ ¡°Child bride, at that time, you and Anchen did your one-year celebration together and he grabbed onto you and refused to let go.¡± Sometimes, things were like that of a drama. It was fated¡­ that Song Anchen would love Ye Yisheng.
