Tang Zhou leaped up dramatically: âQing Brother, what did you say, who do you like?â
Ye Junqing held back his anger, glared at Tang Zhou, and countered: âWho do you think?â
âLittle Starlight?â
Duh!
Ye Shiting finally heard his brother utter these words, but was not ready to let him off the hook: âAre you sure you like her? Youâve only known her for a little over a month. Donât you think itâs too soon to say that you like her?â
Who said theyâd only known each other for just over a month? He had been through life and death with her since he was young, he even gave her her name!
However, Ye Junqing was not willing to tell the truth, and simply responded with a sentence: âSome people spend a lifetime together and canât tolerate each other, while others fall in love at first sight. How can you measure affection by the length of time? Didnât you tell me that you found your life companion on the day you met your sister-in-law?â
Yi Yujian looked up at Ye Shiting, âWas it really like this? Didnât you tell me, it was a gradual love that grew over time?â
Ye Shiting was caught off guard by his brotherâs counterattack, he coughed lightly: âThatâs not the point.â
How is it not the point, Yi Yujian felt like she had been tricked by her husband.
Yet, she felt oddly cheerful about being deceived.
Tang Zhou was still confused: âSo, Qing Brother, you really donât like Xia Yanyan. Then why did you build a mermaid aquarium at home? Oh, I got it, youâre secretly nurturing a mermaid, is it the one I accidentally saw, my first-love-fish?â
Ye Junqing simply ignored Tang Zhou.
Having said everything he wanted to say, he got up to leave. On his way out, he felt obliged to add, âI donât like Xia Yanyan, not one bit. Donât get any wrong ideas in the future. The only woman for me is called Ye Xingguang!â
Now, he had to go and comfort his little mermaid, otherwise, she might misunderstand the situation again, thinking that he was unable to post a selfie on Weibo!
Ye Xingguang was on a plane at that moment.
She bought a plane ticket overnight and flew back to T City, the closest coastal city to her hometown.
Her mum called her at night saying that her father had collapsed, and the doctor had issued a critical condition notice. She felt like the sky was falling as she was on the plane. The Grand Medical Research Institute hasnât developed an artificial kidney yet, her dad mustnât have any incidents.
She reached T City at 11:30 p.m. After landing, she took the subway directly to the T City Peopleâs Hospital.
Only when she got on the subway did she have time to turn on her phone and noticed several missed calls. Some from her mom, and some from Ye Junqing.
She first called her mom back and told her that she was on the subway, then she called Ye Junqing back.
âWhere are you?â Ye Junqing asked her over the phone.
âIâm in T City.â
Ye Junqing frowned: âWhy did you go so far away?â
âMy father fainted.â
âWhat happened? Is it because his creatinine level is too high again?â Ye Junqing asked through the phone.
Ye Xingguang was stunned: âHow do you know my dadâs creatinine level is high?â
The creatinine index is an important criterion for diagnosing uremia. The normal male creatinine level is between 54-106μmoI/L. Her fatherâs creatinine index has long exceeded the normal range. He is now in the terminal phase of chronic kidney failure and has developed uremia.
But she didnât remember telling Ye Junqing that her father had developed uremia, how did he suddenly learn about her fatherâs condition?
Ye Junqing did not explain, but instead instinctively asked: âWhatâs todayâs date?â
âAugust 8th, why?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Junqing fell silent for a moment at her response, he then asked, seemingly having thought of something: âWhich day is the Qixi Festival this year?â
