“I saw Qi Sihao wearing the pajamas you bought for him during his night shift today.”

After finishing dinner outside together, while walking along the night market street, Yan Ming suddenly said this.

Yu Tian was stunned at first, then corrected him with a very rigorous attitude: “To be precise, I didn’t buy them for him, you bought them for him.”

Yan Ming held Yu Tian’s hand and glanced at her sideways, then pretended to walk forward nonchalantly—

“If I hadn’t insisted on taking the gray ones, you would have chosen the couple’s style azure ones for him. Although I was the one who paid, you were the one who wanted to buy them for him.”

This tone – wasn’t it reluctant and sour?

But wasn’t it Yan Ming himself who had actively picked out the pajamas, competed to pay, and even wanted to personally hand them to Qi Sihao?

How could he now turn his back on it like this?

The pajama issue seemed to be something Yan Ming couldn’t get over. Just from Yu Tian’s memory, she felt this man had already hinted at it indirectly two or three times.

Recently, Qi Sihao and Gao Mei’s romance was going smoothly. Qi Sihao was glowing with happiness every day, working even more energetically, competing to do dirty and tiring work, and being very active in continuing education and learning. Logically, there shouldn’t be anything that could offend Yan Ming, right?

Although Yan Ming’s enthusiasm for buying pajamas for Qi Sihao was a bit over the top initially, Yu Tian hadn’t thought much about it afterward. When Yan Ming had previously mentioned the pajamas, she had only thought it was simply Yan Ming being jealous. However, now that Yan Ming brought it up again like this, the more she thought about it, the more subtle it seemed.

Connecting some minor details, Yu Tian suddenly had a guess—

“You didn’t think back then that these pajamas were something I wanted to buy for you… Did you?”

That’s why he chose size 185!

“There’s no such thing.”

However, Yu Tian’s guess was quickly denied by Yan Ming. His expression was calm and convincing as he slightly raised his eyelids, looking toward the lights of the night market in the distance: “How could I possibly think that? Would I be so presumptuous?”

Yan Ming, being such an aloof person, didn’t seem like he would think that way.

“I bring up the pajamas mainly because you bought pajamas for your unimportant friend Qi Sihao, but I, your boyfriend, don’t have any.”

Yan Ming glanced at Yu Tian, his tone carrying a faint accusation: “I’ve brought this up several times, but you never think to buy me any. You just brush it off with simple words each time.”

So that’s it!

He was jealous again!

Yan Ming looked at Yu Tian again and added, “That’s all, no other meaning.”

Yu Tian somewhat understood.

Yan Ming seemed to stand on the moral high ground, pursuing his advantage: “As a girlfriend, don’t you reflect on yourself? Why don’t you think of buying some for your boyfriend, too?”

“What’s the use of buying them for you?” Yu Tian couldn’t help but mutter, “When we sleep together, you end up taking them off anyway. How long can you wear them? You said it would just be sleeping, but in the end, you still take off the pajamas. You don’t keep your word. I haven’t even mentioned that yet, but you’re already playing the victim first…”

Once Yu Tian started complaining, she remembered her occasionally sore waist and legs, and felt angry about it.

Forget about pajamas – she didn’t want to buy anything for Yan Ming anymore.

Finally, it was Yan Ming who pulled Yu Tian into a small alley in the night market, kissing and coaxing her until Yu Tian, with her red lips and red face, reluctantly forgave this man’s nightly lack of trustworthiness.

People in passionate love don’t hold grudges overnight. Soon, Yu Tian was happily holding hands with Yan Ming again, being affectionate while shopping.

However, Yu Tian didn’t realize that in the bustling crowd, there was a pair of shocked eyes staring intently at her and Yan Ming’s playful figures throughout the entire scene.

Yu Tian and Yan Ming’s behavior, which they considered normal, was interpreted by these eyes as shocking, unbelievable, and belatedly understanding…

**

When Yu Tian received Gao Mei’s phone call, she had just finished editing a dental health medical education video. She had originally planned to look at some graduate school entrance exam materials, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Gao Mei’s call.

Unlike usual, today’s Gao Mei seemed to have encountered something quite difficult to talk about. Her voice had lost its former liveliness and cheerfulness, becoming somewhat hesitant and awkward—

“Xiao Yu, are you free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner and talk about something…”

With this tone, Yu Tian almost immediately sat up straight. Gao Mei wasn’t someone with deep schemes. This voice indicated she had encountered something difficult to decide and handle, and wanted to find someone to discuss countermeasures.

Yu Tian had already made dinner plans with Yan Ming for the evening, but when a friend rarely asked for help in such a subtle way, how could she not help?

She almost immediately decided to cancel dinner with Yan Ming and agreed to Gao Mei on the spot: “Sure, just text me the time and place, I’m available.”

Soon after hanging up, Gao Mei sent the time and restaurant name.

Yu Tian simply explained the situation to Yan Ming and rescheduled dinner with him.

**

Yu Tian arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time. Gao Mei had given her a private room name.

However, when she pushed open the door and entered, Gao Mei wasn’t there. Instead, there was a man in a suit. Although he was sitting, you could already see his tall, long-legged proportions.

The man looked up at the sound, and his eyes met Yu Tian’s.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled with some understanding: “I see.”

Yu Tian was still confused: “Excuse me, did you enter the wrong room? This was booked by my friend…”

The man smiled knowingly: “Gao Mei, right?”

“Ah… yes… You are?”

“I’m Chen Linnan, Gao Mei’s classmate.” The man smiled and stood up, politely introducing himself.

Yu Tian also instinctively cleared her throat and put on perfect social etiquette: “Hello, I’m Yu Tian, Gao Mei’s friend.”

Could it be that the problem Gao Mei encountered was very troublesome, so she called two friends at once to discuss it together? After all, they say male and female thinking patterns are different, so she was preparing to brainstorm and have no blind spots when discussing the problem and coming up with solutions?

Since it was clear that neither of them had entered the wrong room, Yu Tian could only sit down obediently, waiting for Gao Mei while politely making small talk with Chen Linnan.

Through chatting, Yu Tian learned that although Chen Linnan looked like a nine-to-five office worker in his suit, he was the owner of an internet celebrity live streaming company. He had many science education content creators under him, and unlike other bosses who weren’t very familiar with their company’s business, he was surprisingly knowledgeable about even the minor details that science education live streaming programs might encounter. He seemed like the type who handled everything personally.

After chatting with him and mentioning that she also did science education content, they had quite a lot to talk about. In half an hour, the conversation never went cold. Through deeper conversation, Yu Tian learned that Chen Linnan was so knowledgeable because he had originally started by creating social media content himself.

He had started with webcomics, and now a very popular account in the comic field called “Linnan Linnan” was actually owned by him. However, perhaps because he became busy running the company after starting his business, this account had been practically dormant for a year and a half.

Because of this connection, the two had quite a lot in common.

Although the atmosphere wasn’t awkward, they were here to wait for Gao Mei after all. Half an hour later, Yu Tian looked at her watch and became somewhat worried: “Why hasn’t Gao Mei arrived yet? Should we call her…”

Before she could pick up her phone, Chen Linnan chuckled and stopped her: “Gao Mei won’t be coming.”

“Huh?”

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Don’t you know? This is Gao Mei’s way of arranging a blind date for us.”

He looked at Yu Tian with satisfaction: “To be honest, I was a bit unhappy when I first discovered her intention, but after meeting and chatting with you, I unexpectedly found it quite interesting.”

Chen Linnan was quite frank: “I stopped creating webcomics before because after my ex-girlfriend passed away from illness, I couldn’t get over it and felt creatively blocked. That’s why I transitioned from pure creation to opening a company, recruiting and signing other content creators, helping to incubate them, providing resources and exposure, while taking a share of their revenue.”

Chen Linnan smiled: “But after meeting you today, I suddenly feel quite inspired to create again.”

Yu Tian was quite embarrassed. She didn’t know what was wrong with Gao Mei, but she had to immediately clarify to Chen Linnan that she wasn’t single—

“You might have misunderstood. Gao Mei calling us here definitely wasn’t to create any blind date situation, because she knows I have a steady boyfriend…”

…

Although Yu Tian was very honest, Chen Linnan didn’t buy it. He just looked at Yu Tian with a meaningful smile: “It’s okay, I’m a very persistent person. Even if you refuse me like this, I’m not the type to give up easily.”

…

No matter how much Yu Tian explained, she fulfilled her obligation to clarify. Regardless of whether the other party believed her, she had firmly refused Chen Linnan’s invitation to continue hanging out. Only after properly seeing him off did she breathe a sigh of relief.

To Yu Tian’s surprise, Gao Mei finally arrived late at the private room after Yu Tian and Chen Linnan had said goodbye.

Chen Linnan had probably contacted Gao Mei earlier than Yu Tian did. Facing Yu Tian’s questioning, Gao Mei seemed quite understanding—

“You think Chen Linnan isn’t suitable? It’s okay, Xiao Yu. I have many single, unmarried, quality young men here. We can start as friends, too. I’m not saying you have to date Chen Linnan immediately. It’s just about having more friends and more opportunities. Besides, he’s also on social media…”

What was this about?

Yu Tian was somewhat baffled: “I haven’t broken up with my boyfriend. We’re very stable. Are you misunderstanding something? I don’t need to find a new boyfriend!”

After she said this, Gao Mei also became unusually serious. She looked at Yu Tian with a heavy voice: “I know you haven’t broken up.”

So?

“So you need to meet some new guys your age even more!”

Gao Mei’s voice was earth-shattering: “This way you can break free from your current boyfriend!”

???

Gao Mei spoke so righteously that Yu Tian was stunned for a moment before realizing something was wrong: “But why would I want to break free from my current boyfriend…”

This time, Gao Mei’s eyes showed some evasion and embarrassment when looking at Yu Tian, but ultimately, as if some purpose had overcome her inner hesitation, she made up her mind—

“Xiao Yu, about this matter, about you and him, do your parents know? They… wouldn’t agree, would they?”

Yu Tian was stunned, realizing what Gao Mei was talking about.

She and Yan Ming had a stable relationship, but they indeed hadn’t formally told each other’s parents about it yet. Therefore, Yu Tian shook her head: “We indeed haven’t told our parents yet, but it shouldn’t be a matter of them not agreeing…”

Yan Ming’s family had money, but Yan Wenhua didn’t seem like the type who would care about the woman’s family background, and he seemed quite open-minded. Yan Ming himself had grown up in a single-parent family, so Yan Wenhua probably wouldn’t look down on her for also being from a single-parent family.

But Gao Mei’s tone was very shocked and urgent: “How could they possibly agree! You absolutely cannot rashly confess. This could result in broken legs!”

???

What???

Gao Mei looked grave: “When did you two start? Did Yan Ming seduce you? He’s older than you, more mature, and should have had a concept of ethics and morality long ago. Did he deceive you? When did your relationship start? How far have you gone? You haven’t done everything you should and shouldn’t do, have you?”

She paused seriously, as if choosing her words carefully. Finally, as if afraid that the confused Yu Tian wouldn’t understand, she lowered her voice to explain: “I mean, have you two had sexual relations?”

This… of course they had, and many times…

Yan Ming was a doctor, not a saint. In any case, as long as he was a man, how could he possibly restrain himself…

The first time, Yan Ming was somewhat reserved and seemed quite inexperienced and innocent, but the second and third times…

Just thinking about it made Yu Tian blush. Men had strong learning abilities, which sometimes wasn’t entirely a good thing…

However, Yu Tian didn’t feel comfortable discussing such topics with Gao Mei. It was too private and too embarrassing, so Yu Tian tried to divert the other’s attention.

But her expression had let Gao Mei know the answer. Gao Mei very seriously grabbed Yu Tian’s hand: “Did Yan Ming force you?”

???

Now Yu Tian realized something was very wrong.

How had Yan Ming’s image become so bad in Gao Mei’s mind?

“Not at all. He and I just naturally came together. After all, we had many opportunities to interact, so it was love that developed over time?”

“Although we haven’t told our parents, Yan Ming has mentioned several times wanting to have dinner with his father to discuss this matter. There’s no deception involved. Are you misunderstanding something about him?” That’s why she was desperately trying to introduce new partners to her?

Yu Tian was about to continue explaining when Gao Mei interrupted her with a grave expression, and then Yu Tian heard her shocking, heartbroken questioning—

“Although I shouldn’t say this, and all kinds of love should be blessed, but Xiao Yu, have you ever thought that what you’re doing is incest? This is too against moral ethics!”

???

!!!

Gao Mei seemed to have been brewing this for a long time, but once she started speaking, she let go completely and stopped being evasive: “Xiao Yu, listen to my advice. Even if you and Yan Ming are distant relatives, you’re still relatives! What’s more, I can see that your relationship is so intimate, obviously not like unfamiliar distant relatives. I feel like your blood relationship should be closer. Whether from the perspective of moral ethics or public opinion, your parents won’t agree when they find out!”

“This kind of thing sounds very bad when it gets out, and it will have a very bad impact on both you and Dr. Yan. Moreover, you’re both medical students – I don’t need to say anything about the perspective of eugenics, right?”

Gao May’s tone was quite sincere: “I know Yan Ming is excellent, but there are many other single, quality men. As long as you’re willing to go out and socialize more, you won’t worry about not finding someone better than Yan Ming. Xiao Yu, you’re still too young and may have had too little contact with men your age. As long as you’re willing, I can accompany you during this time and take you to some gatherings to meet friends…”

“You might have seen a few men since childhood, and Yan Ming is indeed decent, so you’ve formed an information cocoon or some kind of habitual thinking, been brainwashed…”

Gao Mei looked careful, obviously having pondered this topic for a long time. The eyes looking at Yu Tian also showed worry and concern.

“Did Yan Ming, being several years older than you, induce this? I’ve seen many news reports about this. I’ve also volunteered in psychological counseling for victimized girls. Many girls don’t understand anything the first time and get deceived. Afterward, due to some complex psychology, they numb themselves and package this violation as love. But don’t be afraid – if you’ve been coerced, I can accompany you to report it to the police later…”

Gao Mei’s face was solemn, while Yu Tian stared wide-eyed in bewilderment, her heart equally in turmoil.

Gao Mei took a deep breath and confided as if revealing her inner journey: “That day, my friend and I were shopping at the night market. When we got to the entrance of a small alley, I happened to see you and Yan Ming. I originally thought it was quite a coincidence and wanted to go up and greet you both, but then I saw Yan Ming pull you into a kiss…”

Speaking of this, Gao Mei still seemed to have a lingering fear: “I was shocked at the time, but I was also grateful that I hadn’t called out to you yet. Otherwise, if we had run into each other at that moment, it would have been very awkward.”

“Later, I didn’t follow you two and went home absent-mindedly. I couldn’t sleep that night and thought about it for a long time. Looking back, there were many clues about you and Yan Ming. Yan Ming’s way of looking at you was different. I always thought this was because you were close as siblings, but thinking about it afterward, the way he looked at you was completely like a man looking at his woman, not like a brother looking at his sister.”

Gao Mei reflected on herself: “I was too slow. I used to say I wanted to pursue Yan Ming, but actually, Yan Ming had probably already set his sights on you, or at that time, he had already been targeting you for a long time. After all, he’s several years older than you and could have taken advantage of your naivety when you were thirteen or fourteen to seduce you…”

“And in the night market with so many people, and in Rong City locally, Yan Ming usually acts so proper at the hospital, but that night at the night market, he was completely unrestrained, kissing and hugging you! This shows this man has been doing this for a long time! Who knows how he treats you privately when no one’s around!”

It was clear that once a woman removed the filter of love, she would find men suspicious in every way.

Previously, in Gao Mei’s eyes, Yan Ming had advantages everywhere, but now in Gao Mei’s eyes, Yan Ming had almost become a seducer and fraudster…

“Yan Ming isn’t as bad as you think…”

After this outburst from Gao Mei, Yu Tian finally understood.

Right, although Qi Sihao knew about her fake sister status, Qi Sihao had never told Gao Mei about this. And she hadn’t had any opportunity to see Gao Mei alone afterward, let alone a suitable occasion to clarify this misunderstanding. Therefore, Gao Mei still thought she and Yan Ming were blood-related siblings, and her information source was still limited to what she had heard from Qi Sihao about Yu Tian having a boyfriend…

Although the Kiss Cam had gone viral for a while, Gao Mei herself was a literary girl who had a very fulfilling real life. She preferred reading physical books and exploring cafes, and wasn’t obsessed with the internet, so naturally she didn’t know about online trends.

This led to the current misunderstanding.

Yu Tian didn’t quite know how to bring it up. This matter seemed difficult to broach no matter how she approached it.

So she decided to be straightforward: “Actually… Yan Ming and I don’t have a blood relationship…”

After hearing this, Gao Mei was indeed surprised: “Which one of you is adopted?”

“It’s just… we’re not the kind of siblings you think we are…”

Although it was embarrassing, Yu Tian had no choice but to explain to Gao Mei from beginning to end about how her mother and Yan Ming’s father had gone on blind dates and almost gotten together. After listening, Gao Mei’s brow finally relaxed.

Yu Tian was quite apologetic: “I’m sorry I lied to you before.”

“It’s nothing!” Gao Mei didn’t mind at all. She smiled as if finally relieved, “Actually, thinking about it now, it’s good that I couldn’t pursue Yan Ming.”

She said playfully, “Because I think our Qi Sihao is better. Yan Ming is beyond my capabilities – it’s more suitable to leave him to you.”

Gao Mei remembered that night’s encounter and couldn’t help but sigh: “I used to always think Yan Ming was the type who was completely serious and would need to be pampered by others even when dating, but after seeing how he treats you, I realized that when meeting the right person, no man can maintain his aloofness.”

“Sigh, you didn’t see Yan Ming’s eyes when looking at you that day – just like when I go to the boutique and see a bag I like, that kind of bright, genuinely fond look.”

“There were also several men who turned back to sneak glances at you in the night market, so didn’t you notice? Yan Ming wanted to protect you completely, not wanting others to look at you. The possessiveness in his eyes was super strong…”

Gao Mei propped her chin up, reminiscing, and couldn’t help but tease Yu Tian: “I didn’t expect Yan Ming to be quite clingy when in love.”

…

It was rare to have a solo date. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Gao Mei and Yu Tian chatted about other things, shared some hospital gossip, and then said goodbye.

However, while Gao Mei was enlightened and relaxed after learning the truth, Yu Tian didn’t expect that this small episode would bring her a series of subsequent “troubles.”

At first, everything was peaceful. However, what Yu Tian didn’t know was that Chen Linnan, whom she had met that day, didn’t get discouraged after returning home despite Yu Tian’s rejection, and didn’t believe that Yu Tian had a boyfriend. This man was indeed quite persistent and used another way to express his interest from afar—

The top webcomic account “Linnan Linnan,” after years of silence, began updating a new series!

This was like a “Renaissance” level hot event in the eyes of young people who read webcomics.

“I thought Linnan had sealed his pen to become a boss, but I didn’t expect to see him create again this year! I’m almost in tears! It’s been so long!”

“When I was crazily obsessed with Linnan’s webcomics, I was still in high school. Now I’m about to graduate from college! Time flies. Linnan, my youth, I’m back! I’ll always support you!”

“The new story looks so sweet, like a romance? It feels like Teacher Linnan’s real experience. So Linnan also gets dragged to blind dates hahahahaha, just like helpless me.”

“The other party involved in the blind date, Miss Xiao Yu, actually rejected our handsome Teacher Linnan three times in a row. Seeing Linnan getting rejected, I can watch this for a month!”

…

Yu Tian was scrolling through her phone, looking at the webcomic, simply dumbfounded. She never imagined that Chen Linnan would turn their mistaken “blind date” that day into a webcomic series with a lighthearted style. The series was meaningfully titled “How to Catch a Fish.”

Naturally, Chen Linnan didn’t use their real names, and the specific restaurant details were also obscured. But netizens were resourceful, and some people still analyzed which restaurant it was through clues. Coincidentally, a server at the restaurant that day happened to be Chen Linnan’s fan.

One thing led to another, and this information naturally matched up—

“The girl who had dinner with Teacher Linnan! I’ve seen her! I saw her at the platform’s content creator conference before. She’s called something like ‘Xiao Yu Loves Candy’?”

…

This was great. Yu Tian’s previous Kiss Cam classic moment with Yan Ming from the platform event was still circulating online…

Suddenly, the comments under Chen Linnan’s webcomic series exploded—

“Did Xiao Yu break up with her doctor boyfriend?”

“This is way too fast. I feel like it wasn’t long ago they were showing affection on Kiss Cam, and now they’ve broken up?”

“…Have you considered that this might be cheating…”

“I suspect we’re about to witness a showdown…”

…

Yu Tian scrolled through the online comments while feeling her head grow as big as a bucket.

Not long ago, Rong City First Affiliated Hospital applied for official Weibo accounts for each attending physician to promote eye health, for online free consultations for patients and the public during activities, and to promote eye health awareness. This was a joint activity with a charity foundation. The doctors participated voluntarily in answering questions, and the charity foundation would also donate money to an eye health charity for the poor. Yan Ming also got a verified Weibo account for this.

Because of his cold, serious answering style, plus the previous small-scale popularity from Kiss Cam, many netizens had visited Yan Ming’s account during the activity.

Yu Tian had found it quite amusing at the time, but now, looking at the comments under Chen Linnan’s webcomic that were @-ing Yan Ming’s Weibo account, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

These netizens loved watching drama and were also full of righteousness. After seeing this webcomic, they suspected Yu Tian of cheating, so they actively called for Yan Ming to come online to “catch the cheater.”

With no other choice, Yu Tian immediately contacted Gao Mei, explained the situation, hoped Gao Mei would help communicate with Chen Linnan, and also posted a clarification statement on her social media account.

Fortunately, Yan Ming seemed to be busy and didn’t pay much attention to social media, and didn’t seem to have logged into that Weibo account again.

Although there were a bunch of people @-ing Yan Ming online, when he went on a date with Yu Tian that evening, Yan Ming showed no signs of anything unusual.

Yu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn’t seen it.

Fortunately, with Gao Mei’s communication, Chen Linnan agreed to immediately draw a new webcomic to clarify this misunderstanding, and the impact could gradually be eliminated.

Crisis averted.

Just as Yu Tian was about to relax and was thinking about how to contact Chen Linnan to communicate about hiding and removing the previous webcomic, she heard Yan Ming’s voice—

“How come you’re looking for a new big brother again?”

Yan Ming’s voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were saying the weather was nice today, ordinary and casual. However, the emotions and accusatory meaning contained in this short sentence made Yu Tian feel as embarrassed and guilty as if she had been caught committing a crime.

Yan Ming lightly glanced at Yu Tian: “Is there something I’m not doing well as your big brother?”

“…”

Yan Ming didn’t accuse or question Yu Tian, nor did he fly into a rage, but Yu Tian felt even more restless.

She almost immediately spilled everything like beans from a broken sack, telling Yan Ming in detail about Gao Mei’s misunderstanding and the mistaken meeting with Chen Linnan, repeatedly emphasizing that she had no second thoughts.

“How could I look for a new big brother?” Yu Tian said at the end, feeling somewhat wronged again, “Where would I get the energy to look for a new big brother?”

“Every night you exhaust me. I’m tired to death.” She couldn’t help but complain quietly, “Is it legal for you doctors to have this kind of stamina?”

Yan Ming, however, didn’t blush or skip a beat. He explained matter-of-factly: “Precisely because I’m a surgeon who often has to stand for hours or even ten-plus hours during operations, my stamina is good.” He glanced at Yu Tian, “It’s you who should exercise more. Your stamina is too poor. You’re always gasping and begging me to…”

Yu Tian didn’t know what she was thinking about, but her whole face turned red. She almost immediately covered Yan Ming’s mouth, not knowing what earth-shattering things this man would say next.

“Stop talking!” Yu Tian warned in a low voice, “Don’t say it!”

“There are no other big brothers. Just you alone is more than I can handle.”

Yan Ming didn’t make a fuss this time. He took Yu Tian’s hand: “Mm, from now on you can only call me big brother.”

He thought for a moment: “However, to avoid misunderstandings like Gao Mei’s again, I think we should clarify our relationship.”

“Although I’m a big brother, I’m the kind of big brother with no blood relation who sleeps with you.”

After saying this seriously, the man leaned down to kiss Yu Tian’s cheek, then lowered his voice to whisper something in her ear.

Yu Tian’s face turned completely red. She turned her head and glared at Yan Ming with outward sternness but inner weakness: “Can’t you have some other hobbies? How come you developed this kind of hobby after meeting me?”

“My hobbies have always been very focused. I said when I first met you that I like sleeping.”

Yan Ming smiled roguishly: “I still like sleeping now.”

He added: “With you.”

…

That night, Yu Tian experienced what it meant to practice what you preach. The next day, without Yan Ming saying anything, she angrily got up and decided to contact Chen Linnan again to quickly produce a new clarifying webcomic. If this matter wasn’t clarified, who knows how Yan Ming would use it as an excuse to push his luck in the future!

However, when she woke up late in the day and checked Weibo, Yu Tian found her Weibo account flooded with “envious congratulations.”

It took half an hour for Yu Tian to finally figure out what was going on.

As if competing with Chen Linnan, the rigorous and serious Dr. Yan had also rushed to create a webcomic this morning while Yu Tian was still sleeping.

Yu Tian clicked on the webcomic and almost died laughing.

Unlike Chen Linnan, who had drawing skills, Yan Ming used what were practically elementary school-level drawing techniques to boldly create a webcomic that passive-aggressively targeted Chen Linnan.

He drew himself and Yu Tian quite cutely, but deliberately made the character corresponding to Chen Linnan look very unflattering.

Using the same comic format, Yan Ming told the story of his and Yu Tian’s first meeting, misunderstanding, and finally getting together, showing off their love while clarifying the source of Yu Tian’s misunderstanding with Chen Linnan.

At the end, this guy was quite mean, actually naming this little webcomic—”Civilized Fishing: Please Don’t Steal Fish from Other People’s Ponds”

Yan Ming had already gotten up early to go to work. Yu Tian looked at the time – he should have finished his morning clinic and started his lunch break.

Yu Tian finally couldn’t help it.

She called Yan Ming.

But it was hung up.

Yu Tian was somewhat puzzled and tried calling again, but it was hung up again.

Just as she was feeling somewhat downcast and about to try a third time, the door made a sound.

Yu Tian instinctively looked toward the sound and saw Yan Ming rushing back home during his lunch break, travel-worn.

He was wearing casual clothes and carrying a private kitchen lunch box prepared for Yu Tian. He might not look particularly glamorous, but Yu Tian’s heart began beating heavily.

After being together for a while, she seemed to still seemed unable to resist being moved by Yan Ming in daily little details.

Yu Tian suppressed her heartbeat and tried to remain calm: “How come you came back? The lunch break is so short. Why didn’t you take a nap?”

The Dr. Yan, who was always serious and unsmiling at the hospital, put down the lunch box, then walked toward Yu Tian, his tone natural to the point of being righteous—

“Can’t I come back if I miss you?”

Then this possessive big brother leaned down and kissed Yu Tian.

“An old big brother needs to regularly establish his presence to prevent some new big brothers from taking advantage and stealing fish.”

This man said seriously, “After all, my fish pond only has this one fish. I’ve been raising it for a long time, and it can’t be stolen.”

“Tomorrow night, call your mother to have dinner with my father.”

Yan Ming’s tone was very solemn: “I need to give myself a proper status.”

“Otherwise, by the time I come to my senses, my fish pond will be completely emptied.” Yan Ming’s voice carried faint accusation and helplessness, “Who told me my fish is so attractive, and some fishing enthusiasts in Rong City currently have such poor character and no morals at all?”

Yu Tian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

But soon, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

Because Dr. Yan had already started taking off his coat, “I’ve thought about it. Rather than being constantly worried about someone stealing my fish, it’s more reassuring if I eat it myself.”

While taking it off, he looked at the wall clock—

“There’s still an hour left before lunch break ends.”

“Enough time to eat fish.”
