Yan Ming tried hard to think about other things to calm his mood down again.

However, just when everything was working effectively, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and directly pinched his right ear.

“Your horn doesn’t work – I hope the turn signals aren’t broken too?” Along with this came Yu Tian’s muttering voice. Her fingers were warm and soft, gently pinching Yan Ming’s right ear with a puzzled expression, “Yan Ming, what kind of car did you buy? Why is everything broken?”

Yu Tian seriously pointed out Yan Ming’s flaws in “safe driving”: “I was just thinking, when you turned right just now, why didn’t you use your turn signal? Then, when I tried to help you turn it on, I discovered your turn signal was also broken!”

Soon, Yan Ming’s left ear couldn’t escape either.

After speaking, Yu Tian became even more handsy, using her other hand to pinch Yan Ming’s left ear: “Let me test if the left turn signal works.”

She randomly pinched around, very disappointed: “How is everything broken?”

Yan Ming’s mood, which had finally calmed down with great difficulty, became unsettled again due to her chaotic antics.

Originally, only his face was somewhat flushed, but now both ears, being kneaded and pinched by Yu Tian in turns, began burning with a terrifying heat.

Yan Ming finally couldn’t bear it anymore: “Yu Tian! What are you doing!”

Unfortunately, such intimidation had not effect whatsoever on the drunk little ungrateful wolf. Yu Tian’s tone was matter-of-fact: “Helping you check your little junker car.”

After randomly touching Yan Ming’s ears, she began pushing her luck even further, touching Yan Ming’s face.

After touching his face, the instigator still seemed unsatisfied, frequently challenging Yan Ming’s patience.

Yu Tian’s hand touched Yan Ming’s forehead again, then she let out a sharp cry—

“Stop the car, stop the car!”

She shook Yan Ming’s shoulders, her voice anxious and tense: “This is terrible, Yan Ming!”

Yan Ming’s voice was already full of endurance and weakness: “What now, little ancestor?”

“Haven’t you noticed?! Your car temperature is very high!” Yu Tian pressed her hand against Yan Ming’s cheek and forehead again, “Look, it’s almost like it’s about to catch fire!”

Yan Ming said expressionlessly, “It was exposed to the sun, so the car interior temperature rose. That’s very normal.”

Though Yu Tian was confused, she was quite logical about some things: “But it’s nighttime now, there’s no sun exposure. How could there be such a high interior temperature?!”

“No way! I need to get out! If you keep driving this car, I suspect it’s going to spontaneously combust! I need to get out!”

This time, ignoring Yan Ming’s attempts to stop her, Yu Tian struggled and jumped down from Yan Ming’s back in a few moves, then with lightning speed, ran into a small shop by the roadside.

She escaped so quickly for her own life, without even thinking there was still “someone in the car.”

What else could she be but a little ungrateful wolf?

But although very speechless, Yan Ming still had to immediately hurry to follow, only to discover Yu Tian had actually opened the ice chest placed at the shop entrance, with both hands pressed against the ice-cold mineral water bottles inside.

“You’re…”

Before Yan Ming could finish asking, “What are you doing?” Yu Tian triumphantly pressed her two ice-cold hands against his face. Yan Ming shivered from the cold, staring wide-eyed at Yu Tian, only to see her warm her hands on his face, then nimbly jump away to put her hands back in the ice chest to cool down, then bounce back over.

But this time, she no longer tried to “attack” Yan Ming’s face, but attempted to stuff her hands down his shirt through his neckline—

“Yan Ming, I’ve come back to save you!”

“…” Yan Ming completely couldn’t follow Yu Tian’s logic anymore, “Save me from what?” Yan Ming pressed his lips together, “Are you sure you’re trying to save me and not send me away?”

But Yu Tian argued confidently: “I am trying to save you! You refuse to get out of the car, I can’t abandon you, so I can only physically cool down your little junker car. Wait, I feel the temperature has dropped a little, but it’s still warm. I’ll keep working at it, trying to get the car cool quickly.”

Yan Ming’s body didn’t cool down, but his voice certainly did: “If it gets cool, I’ll die. Only when dead can one be completely cool.”

Drunk Yu Tian couldn’t understand Yan Ming’s words with normal logic. She stared wide-eyed incredulously: “A little junker car is already this hot and you still won’t leave, talking like you want to live and die with your car. When the car cools down, are you going to die for your car too? When I have money later, I’ll buy you ten or eight cars, let you take your ten or eight girlfriends on a convoy to the suburbs!”

“Why would I have ten or eight girlfriends?”

Yan Ming raised his voice slightly. He completely didn’t realize his thinking had been led astray by Yu Tian.

Yu Tian bit her finger, tilted her head, stared at Yan Ming’s face, and giggled: “Your face should be able to.”

“Because beauty is conserved. Your looks are 10 points, so you can exchange for 10 one-point girlfriends, so you can have 10 girlfriends…”

“Why would I want 10 one-point girlfriends?” Yan Ming was almost amused to anger, “Can’t I just have one 10-point girlfriend?”

“Because I arranged 10 for you! 10 is my lucky number!”

“…”

No wonder they say never argue with a fool, because the fool will drag you down to their level, then beat you with rich experience.

Yan Ming said helplessly, “The car temperature has dropped now. I’ll ask you one last time – are you getting in the car or not? If not, I’m driving away.”

This time, Yu Tian settled down. She reached out to touch Yan Ming’s face again, looking very professional: “This time the temperature is normal. I want to get in the car!”

But after Yan Ming got Yu Tian back on his back, she still occasionally reached out to touch his face and forehead, as if responsibly providing real-time updates to confirm the “vehicle’s” temperature.

Yan Ming had to use one hand to stop her behavior, ultimately ending with Yan Ming successfully “executing on the spot” Yu Tian’s troublemaking hand.

But when Yu Tian quieted down, Yan Ming realized he was holding Yu Tian’s injured right hand. Under his fingertips, he could even feel the ridges of the scars on Yu Tian’s hand. Yu Tian was extremely sensitive about the scars on her hand. Even with drunkenness, being touched where she didn’t want to be touched, Yu Tian still quickly pulled out the hand Yan Ming was holding and hid it behind herself.

Yan Ming could have said nothing.

But he seemed to have gotten used to Yu Tian’s noisy, hyperactive behavior and couldn’t adapt to the current quiet.

“Yu Tian, no one will care about your hand.”

Yan Ming didn’t know how he started speaking. What came out sounded like serious chicken soup written in bestselling books – actually quite silly, but Yan Ming couldn’t help saying it—

“You don’t need to feel inferior because of your hand, because your scar is different from others’. Others are simply injured, but yours is a badge of honor.”

“Because of this scar, you saved a little patient, changed a child’s life. Don’t you think there’s no need to hide it at all?”

Yan Ming didn’t expect Yu Tian to listen, but soon, warmth and moisture came from his neck.

Yu Tian was crying on his shoulder, her tears rolling down along Yan Ming’s collarbone.

Fortunately, Yan Ming soon reached the parking lot carrying Yu Tian. By the time he settled her in the passenger seat, she had stopped crying, just with slightly red-rimmed eyes like a startled rabbit, staring blankly at Yan Ming fastening her seatbelt, looking silly, as if she could be easily sold and would go home counting money.

“Alright, I’ll take you home.”

When everything was ready and Yu Tian sat quietly and obediently in the passenger seat, Yan Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From Bar Street to Yu Tian’s residential complex wasn’t far, but tonight, for some unknown reason – perhaps there was some event – several main roads were seriously congested, forcing Yan Ming to drive slowly forward.

It wasn’t until near the intersection that he realized the reason for the traffic jam – a few days ago there had been a major drunk driving accident on this street, so these past few days they had been doing related drunk driving harm publicity and frequent surprise drunk driving checks to reduce some drivers’ lucky psychology.

Sure enough, quite a few people had driven out from Bar Street after drinking, and several cars were stopped and caught at once, creating this small traffic jam.

Fortunately, the drunk driving check efficiency was quite high. Soon, a traffic police officer knocked on Yan Ming’s car window.

Yan Ming got out and blew into the alcohol tester as required. Just as he was about to get back in the car, he heard chaotic knocking on the car window from inside.

The traffic officer checking Yan Ming was a young woman. She immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yu Tian inside the car. She was beautiful, with a seductive expression at the moment. Because of drunkenness and frequent yawning, her eyes contained tears, making one think of only one poem – “A pair of pupils cut from autumn water, charm comes from both eyes with alluring grace.”

Yu Tian always had such charming and alluring eyes at just the right moments.

But she was confused, clearly drunk, randomly knocking on the car window as if wanting to get out.

This behavior immediately attracted the young female traffic officer’s attention. She looked at Yan Ming alertly: “Why does the girl in the car seem like she doesn’t want to stay in the car?”

This was near Bar Street. Although Rong City’s public security was good, there were always people who took advantage of loopholes to break laws. Just a few days ago, Bar Street had even trending on social media because of “corpse fishing” incidents.

Although this car owner was very handsome with an outstanding temperament, a good-looking face didn’t necessarily mean good character.

The female traffic officer looked into the car. The girl sitting in the passenger seat had stunning beauty and a curvaceous figure, and was drunk. She had been randomly knocking on the window glass for a long time, as if finally remembering there was an electric button, finally successfully lowering the passenger side window and sticking her head out, looking at the two people outside in confusion.

Yan Ming knew he was being misunderstood and suspected, but he was grateful for the female traffic officer’s responsibility, so he cooperated very actively.

But to simplify his explanation and avoid unnecessary complications, he finally explained concisely: “The passenger is my sister.”

Unfortunately, the female traffic officer didn’t buy it: “Take out your ID for me to see.”

Yan Ming could only comply. To increase credibility, he even took out his hospital work ID: “I’m a doctor at the First Affiliated Hospital. My information is on the hospital’s official website appointment system.”

The doctor profession indeed had great social credibility. The female traffic officer checked the First Affiliated Hospital’s doctor list and believed Yan Ming’s words. But to ensure nothing was missed, she still asked dutifully: “Since she’s your sister, do you have photos together?”

Yan Ming and Yu Tian indeed had no photos together, but…

Yan Ming calmly took out the teaching result from Yu Tian’s PS crash course: “This is our photo together.”

The female traffic officer looked at it. From the body language of the two people in the photo, they indeed seemed very intimate, but…

“You… are you holding a bar of soap in your hand?” She looked up with an incredulous tone: “Why would you be holding a bar of soap?”

Yan Ming was silent for a moment before continuing: “Because I’m quite clean. This makes it convenient to wash hands anytime, anywhere. You know, doctors are somewhat germaphobic.”

Everything seemed reasonable. The female traffic officer seemed convinced this time. But just as she was about to let them pass, she heard Yu Tian, who had been lying in the passenger seat, suddenly speak—

“I’m not his sister.”

She pointed at Yan Ming as if afraid the world wasn’t chaotic enough, “His surname is Yan, mine is Yu. I have no relationship with him at all. We haven’t known each other long, and there’s no blood relation whatsoever…”

“…”

“Officer sister, doctors aren’t necessarily all good people. I have a senior who’s a doctor and is complete trash…”

“…”

“We’ve never had photos together! What photo did he show you? It must be photoshopped! Fake!”

“…”

Now Yan Ming was stuck – couldn’t leave, couldn’t not leave.

The female traffic officer and her colleague looked at Yan Ming with renewed wariness: “We have body cameras recording now. All your behavior, including your license plate number, is recorded here. Since this girl says you’re not siblings, then…”

“She’s my girlfriend.” Yan Ming looked at Yu Tian, then at the female traffic officer. He pressed his lips together, rubbed his forehead, and said calmly, “We had a fight, she got drunk, I’m taking her home.”

The female traffic officer frowned deeply, still very suspicious: “Then why did you say she was your sister at first?”

“Because I’m a scumbag.” Yan Ming said expressionlessly, “You know, you can only have one girlfriend, but you can have countless sisters.”

He pointed at Yu Tian: “So she’s drowning her sorrows in alcohol and got drunk.”

“So now you admit she’s your girlfriend?” The female traffic officer’s face showed genuine disgust. “Go on, treat your girlfriend well in the future! Stop acknowledging sisters!”

“Looks decent but turns out to be a scumbag…”

“Really can’t judge a book by its cover…”

“Such a beautiful girl, and he won’t even establish a relationship to make her his official girlfriend. What kind of person is this?”

Yan Ming endured various condemning looks while trying to maintain his composure as he drove away from this street.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly after that. Yu Tian lived in an old residential building with a maximum of six floors and no elevator. She had recovered some mobility and insisted on walking up the stairs herself, but holding the handrail, she walked so slowly that Yan Ming couldn’t bear to watch and ultimately carried Yu Tian upstairs.

But when they opened the door, they found Yu Tian’s mother wasn’t home.

Seeing Yu Tian still drunk, Yan Ming could only resignedly lead her into the house and pour water.

But once Yu Tian returned to familiar surroundings, she kicked off her high heels and fell onto her bed. She very reluctantly sat up to drink the water Yan Ming handed her by the cup rim with his assistance, then quickly fell back onto the pillow.

Yan Ming gently patted Yu Tian’s back: “Yu Tian, change your sleeping position.”

Only after Yu Tian reluctantly turned to lie on her side did Yan Ming get up.

Although she hadn’t drunk much, she had very poor alcohol tolerance. Yan Ming was still worried that if Yu Tian felt uncomfortable and vomited, at least lying on her side could prevent vomit from blocking her airway. Although this possibility was minimal, Yan Ming wasn’t completely at ease.

He looked back at Yu Tian on the bed. Just as Yan Ming was about to close the door and leave, a confused mumbling voice came from the bed—

“Thank you for tonight. I’ll repay you in the future…”

It seemed she wasn’t completely unconscious from drinking.

Yan Ming smiled: “What could you possibly repay me with?”

He looked at Yu Tian curled up in the bedding and softly scolded: “Little ungrateful wolf.”

Yan Ming didn’t expect Yu Tian to have any reaction, but Yu Tian seemed to be angered by that “little ungrateful wolf.” She suddenly sprang up from under the covers, glaring at Yan Ming with blazing eyes—

“Who are you calling a little ungrateful wolf? I’m famous for repaying kindness. Come here, I’ll repay you right now!”

Yan Ming felt a headache coming: “Alright, settle down and sleep.”

Unfortunately, Yu Tian wouldn’t settle down easily. She rolled out of bed, walked up to Yan Ming, stood on her tiptoes, and before Yan Ming could react at all, kissed his cheek, then ignoring Yan Ming’s shocked and bewildered gaze, very calmly and composedly returned to bed.

Yan Ming stared at Yu Tian on the bed: “Yu Tian, are you crazy? Do you know who I am?”

The little ungrateful wolf yawned: “Aren’t you my boyfriend? I just heard it! You are my boyfriend!”

“…”

After saying this, she became confused again: “But when did I get a boyfriend?”

Yu Tian’s eyes were unfocused as she wrapped herself in the blanket, seeming to have no intention of using her brain anymore. She stopped dwelling on this topic, showing every intention of continuing to sleep single-mindedly.

She probably had no idea who she had kissed or who she was talking to.

The instigator completely escaped “accountability” by being drunk.

Yan Ming pressed his lips together and very gently prepared to close the door.

Then he heard Yu Tian’s voice from under the covers on the bed—

“Yan Ming, bye-bye.”

The instigator quickly turned over and muttered: “I want to eat egg tarts, candied chestnuts, and mung bean cake…”

Gradually, her mumbling became softer and softer, finally falling completely into dreamland.

Yu Tian slept beautifully, relaxed and natural in posture, but Yan Ming became tense all over.

He hadn’t felt anything just moments before, but the instant he heard Yu Tian call his name, Yan Ming felt himself becoming abnormal. Some emotions were like branches sprouting on a spring night, completely uncontrolled – when it was time to grow, they grew, and his heartbeat became very fast again.

This was what he got for spending one hundred thousand yuan for one night.

The instigator slept soundly while he suffered emotional ups and downs and heart palpitations.

Yan Ming felt his criticism of Yu Tian was correct.

She was indeed a little ungrateful wolf.
