Yu Tian realized Yan Ming was teasing her and was so angry she didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore.

However, the ophthalmology medical knowledge science education content still had to continue. She glared at Yan Ming twice in frustrated silence, then returned to confirming details for the science education video filming content.

Soon, after determining the content for the next episode about how irregular medical aesthetic hyaluronic acid injections could cause blindness, Yu Tian reported her “results” from having Ren Yali coordinate with Jiang Yuming: “Dr. Jiang and Ren Yali have already met. Ren Yali has a very good impression of Dr. Jiang and likes him quite a bit. As long as Dr. Jiang also thinks well of her and seriously pursues her, I think they have potential! Dr. Jiang promised me five episodes, and after five episodes of coordination with Ren Yali, they might just work out!”

“Five episodes and it’ll work out?”

Yu Tian looked at Yan Ming puzzledly.

Yan Ming’s expression was very serious as he said naturally, “I’m just concerned about my friend. After all, Yuming is rather slow and passive, and doesn’t know how to pursue women. Five episodes don’t seem quite enough.”

I see!

Yu Tian earnestly explained: “If it doesn’t work out after five episodes, then it just won’t work, and there’s nothing to regret. If a man and woman meet this many times continuously and coordinate on so much work without developing any romantic feelings or further progress, then at least one party isn’t feeling it, so there’s no need to force it. Being friends is fine too.”

“Mainly, coordinating work for five videos will involve some other social activities besides work, like watching movies together, exploring restaurants and dining together, and shopping together. Five videos can’t be completed with just five meetings, so with continuous meetings like this, won’t sparks fly?”

To this, Yan Ming lifted his eyelids, his voice light: “Mm, what you say makes sense too.”

He took a sip of tea, lowered his head to scroll through his phone, as if he had something to say, but after looking up at Yu Tian for a few seconds, he pressed his lips together tightly again.

This made Yu Tian somewhat nervous, too. What was Yan Ming going to say?

Had he agreed to appear in five episodes of videos, only to discover the workload was substantial, so now he wanted to back out?

Being perceptive is one of the most precious qualities of modern humans, and not putting people in difficult positions is a sign of high emotional intelligence.

Yu Tian decided not to make things difficult for Yan Ming. She thoughtfully said first, “I know you’re very busy. In the future, unless necessary, I won’t require you to meet with me in person. For things that can be handled via WeChat or email, we’ll handle them online. Although we need to coordinate five episodes, it won’t be as frequent as Dr. Jiang and them meeting—you can rest assured.”

However, despite giving such assurance, Yan Ming didn’t look very happy. His expression became somewhat strange.

Perhaps Yu Tian had hit the nail on the head, and feeling that agreeing to make five episodes then wanting to back out was somewhat improper, Yan Ming looked a bit embarrassed. He glanced at Yu Tian, then looked away toward the night scenery outside the window.

“I’m not that busy.” He lifted his eyelids, his eyelashes casting fan-shaped shadows on his fair face, his slender fingers with distinct joints gently rubbing the surface of his teacup. “I don’t have a girlfriend, so after work ends, I don’t have much to do. The hospital hasn’t been particularly busy lately either.”

Yu Tian was stunned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: “Do you also want me to introduce you to a girlfriend?”

Yu Tian thought her guess was reasonable, but Yan Ming almost angrily and quickly refuted her: “There’s no such thing.”

He glared at Yu Tian: “Do you want to date? How can you think of such things from everything?”

Yu Tian really wanted to shout about the injustice, but unfortunately, since she still needed Yan Ming to cooperate with filming science education videos, she could only swallow her anger and glare back at Yan Ming a few times vengefully while he was looking down.

She thought her actions were seamless and that Yan Ming would never see them, but almost simultaneously, Yan Ming’s cold voice rang out—

“Why are you glaring at me? Very dissatisfied with me?”

“…” Yu Tian was somewhat speechless. “You weren’t even looking up. How did you know I was glaring at you?”

Yan Ming expressionlessly pointed at the marble tabletop: “Do you need to review light reflection?”

“…” Yu Tian naturally wouldn’t admit it. She argued sophistically, “I wasn’t glaring. My eyes were just a bit itchy earlier, so I blinked a few times. I wasn’t glaring at you…”

Unfortunately, Yan Ming didn’t buy her excuse. This guy smiled without warmth: “What a coincidence? Then you don’t need to register today—I’ll help you check directly. Eyes itching this much could very well be conjunctivitis.”

Yu Tian knew Yan Ming was probably just talking, but somehow, she couldn’t help being provocative: “Then go ahead and look.”

As she spoke, Yu Tian also recklessly moved her face closer to Yan Ming’s direction: “Take a good look at me.”

The place they’d chosen to meet and discuss was a small coffee shop, very compact. The small round table for two was already tiny, and when Yu Tian leaned forward, she brought her entire face right up to Yan Ming’s.

When she did it, she was single-minded, but after getting close, she realized this action was far too intimate.

She was shorter than Yan Ming, so even after bringing her face close, she still needed to tilt her head up slightly to look directly into Yan Ming’s eyes. However, this position made it seem like she was asking for a kiss.

But she was unwilling to just retreat like this.

As if she were guilty and afraid of Yan Ming.

For some reason, when facing Yan Ming, Yu Tian always couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty with an accelerated heartbeat and uneasy, but the more this happened, the more unwilling she became.

Why should she?

She absolutely couldn’t admit defeat in terms of momentum.

Animal documentaries all say that when encountering a strong enemy, use eye contact and aura to intimidate the opponent—you can scare them away without fighting.

Yu Tian thought Yan Ming would sensibly look away and lean back to create distance between them.

However, Yan Ming didn’t play by the rules.

Not only did he not create distance from Yu Tian, he wickedly leaned forward, getting even closer to her.

Before Yu Tian could react at all, Yan Ming’s hand gently pinched her chin, supporting her cheek and lifting her face a bit.

The moment Yu Tian met Yan Ming’s teasing gaze, she understood.

Yan Ming understood everything. Yu Tian’s little thoughts had probably been seen through, so he was deliberately making things difficult for her, seemingly wanting to oppose her.

Yan Ming’s fingers were slightly cool and only lightly touched Yu Tian’s face without any other implications, but Yu Tian still felt the contact skin starting to burn. She began to suspect that only this patch of skin on her entire face had turned a suspicious red color due to the temperature increase.

How could Yan Ming be so wicked!

To think she used to worship him like a white moonlight idol!

This was just a very wicked guy!

Sure enough, the corners of Yan Ming’s lips carried a fleeting smile, unhurried and leisurely.

He was waiting for Yu Tian to admit defeat and retreat first, but Yu Tian refused.

She glared at Yan Ming somewhat fiercely.

She wanted to see how Yan Ming would resolve this situation—would he keep holding her face up like this indefinitely?

Yu Tian didn’t believe it. If he didn’t let go, wouldn’t this be the action of flirting with a girl?

But just as Yu Tian was slowly building up her psychological defenses, waiting for Yan Ming to admit defeat, she saw Yan Ming very naturally take out a small flashlight from his shirt pocket, then calmly turn it on under Yu Tian’s surprised gaze and bring it to her eyes.

Instantly, Yu Tian’s eyes were hit by a beam of light. She instinctively wanted to close her eyes, but Yan Ming’s hand supporting her chin left her no escape. He gently and soothingly patted Yu Tian’s cheek with two fingers: “Relax, I’ll take a rough look to see if there’s anything wrong with your eyes.”

Yu Tian had originally thought Yan Ming would be unable to save face, but he actually carried a small flashlight with him and really examined her eyes.

After looking for a moment, he put away the small flashlight and smiled: “Nothing wrong, they’re fine. Just don’t glare at people anymore.”

Yu Tian’s heart was pounding wildly—whether from nervousness or something else, she couldn’t tell—but she still refused to show weakness, muttering: “Why can’t I glare at people? Does glaring damage eye health?”

“It won’t damage eye health.”

Yu Tian was about to feel triumphant when she saw Yan Ming calmly continue—

“But it will damage your beauty.”

He smiled, showing white teeth, looking very polite and courteous, but Yu Tian thought he was extremely wicked.

He glanced at Yu Tian: “So you’d better not glare at me anymore.”

Yu Tian wanted to refute something and instinctively wanted to glare at Yan Ming again as a show of defiance, but ultimately, she retracted this half-formed glare.

Although her heart resisted, she still couldn’t help being controlled by Yan Ming’s words just now.

Glaring at others damages beauty.

Better not glare at Yan Ming anymore.

Yan Ming didn’t dwell on this topic either. He looked at his watch, cleared his throat, his voice becoming slightly unnatural: “Do you have anything to do next?”

Yan Ming paused, his voice returning to normal: “There happens to be a new disaster movie showing recently. At this time, several nearby theaters all have showtimes coming up…”

Having said this much, how could Yu Tian not understand?

Afraid that Yan Ming would feel embarrassed, she decisively interrupted him.

“You don’t need to say more—I understand!”

Yan Ming indeed looked somewhat surprised.

Yu Tian felt somewhat pleased with herself. This is what being considerate means.

“Then I’m leaving!”

Yan Ming’s expression froze. He repeated: “You’re leaving?”

“Mm!” Yu Tian nodded obediently. “Perfect timing—I can meet with Brother Dai Xin later to discuss filming techniques and camera angles. He’s also going to introduce a filming team to me.”

“…”

Yan Ming looked at Yu Tian expressionlessly, saying word by word: “You’re going to find Dai Xin next? Right after I just said there’s a pretty good movie?”

Yu Tian felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, but was somewhat confused: “Weren’t you the one who wanted to watch a movie? Asking if I had anything to do next—wasn’t that hoping I’d have something to do so you could move freely?”

Yu Tian said carefully, “I still understand this basic social etiquette. For example, when Qi Sihao asks if I’ve had lunch, he usually hopes I’ll sensibly say I have, so he can conveniently express ‘regret’ that since I’ve already eaten, he won’t treat me…”

Yan Ming glared fiercely at Yu Tian, looking like he was about to get angry, but ultimately, he calmly offered Yu Tian a suggestion—

“Yu Tian, I suggest you change friends.”

Although Yan Ming’s tone remained steady, Yu Tian felt he looked like he was about to explode with anger.

Looking at Yan Ming’s fair, handsome face and fiery eyes, Yu Tian suddenly had an epiphany—

“Ah, do you mean…” that you want to watch it with me?

But before Yu Tian could finish her guess, Yan Ming directly interrupted her.

“No.” He looked away, his tone firm and stubborn. “I don’t have such thoughts. You’re right—I’m quite busy and shouldn’t be so idle as to go watch movies. I’d better go home and sleep.”

After Yan Ming finished speaking, he efficiently paid the bill, then stormed off angrily.
