Psst! We're moving!
“I saw Qi Sihao wearing the pajamas you bought him when he was on night duty today.”
After finishing dinner together, as they strolled through the bustling night market, Yan Ming suddenly dropped this comment.
Yu Tian was momentarily stunned before correcting him with great precision: “To be precise, I didn’t buy them for him—you did.”
Yan Ming held Yu Tian’s hand and glanced at her sideways before pretending to walk ahead nonchalantly—
“If I hadn’t insisted on choosing gray, you would’ve picked the blue couple’s set for him. Sure, I paid for it, but you were the one who wanted to buy it for him.”
What was this tone? Reluctant and tinged with jealousy?
But wasn’t it Yan Ming himself who had been so eager to pick out the pajamas, insisted on paying, and even wanted to personally hand them over to Qi Sihao?
How could he act like he’d completely changed his mind now?
The pajama incident seemed to have left a lingering mark on Yan Ming’s mind. From what Yu Tian could recall, he’d already subtly mentioned it two or three times.
Recently, Qi Sihao and Gao Mei’s relationship had been going smoothly. Qi Sihao was glowing with happiness, working harder than ever, volunteering for dirty and tiring tasks, and being proactive about further studies. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t have been anything to offend Yan Ming, right?
Although Yan Ming’s enthusiasm in buying pajamas for Qi Sihao had seemed a bit excessive at the time, Yu Tian hadn’t thought much of it afterward. When Yan Ming brought up the pajamas before, she assumed it was simply out of jealousy. But now that he’d brought it up again, the more she thought about it, the more subtle it felt.
Connecting some small details, Yu Tian suddenly had a suspicion—
“Wait… Did you think those pajamas were meant for you ...?”
That’s why he chose the size 185!
“No, that’s not true.”
Yu Tian’s guess was quickly denied by Yan Ming. His expression remained calm and convincing as he slightly raised his eyelids to look at the lights of the night market in the distance: “How could I possibly think that? Would I really be so presumptuous?”
Yan Ming, being such a cold and aloof person, didn’t seem like someone who would think that way.
“The reason I brought up the pajamas is simple,” he said, glancing at Yu Tian. “You bought pajamas for Qi Sihao, a friend who isn’t even that important to you, but your boyfriend hasn’t received anything.”
He looked at Yu Tian again, his tone tinged with faint accusation: “I’ve mentioned this several times, but every time, you just brush it off with a few casual words instead of actually buying something for me.”
So that was it!
He was jealous again!
Yan Ming glanced at Yu Tian once more and added: “That’s all there is to it. Nothing else.”
Yu Tian began to understand.
Standing on the moral high ground, Yan Ming pressed his advantage: “As my girlfriend, don’t you feel any remorse? How could you not think to buy something for your boyfriend?”
“What’s the point of buying pajamas for you?” Yu Tian couldn’t help but grumble. “We’ll end up taking them off anyway when we sleep together. How long can you wear them? You promised it would just be sleeping, but in the end, you still take off the pajamas. You’re the one who doesn’t keep promises, and now you’re accusing me first…”
As Yu Tian vented, she remembered her occasional sore waist and legs, which made her even angrier.
Forget pajamas—she didn’t want to buy anything for Yan Ming anymore.
In the end, Yan Ming pulled Yu Tian into a secluded alley in the night market, kissing and coaxing her until she reluctantly forgave him, her lips and cheeks flushed red from his nightly broken promises.
People in love don’t hold grudges overnight. Soon, Yu Tian happily resumed walking hand-in-hand with Yan Ming, enjoying their sweet time together.
However, Yu Tian didn’t notice that in the bustling crowd, a pair of shocked eyes was intently watching her and Yan Ming’s playful antics.
What was normal behavior for Yu Tian and Yan Ming was interpreted by these eyes as utterly shocking disbelief, mixed with a delayed realization of “so that’s why…”
________________________________________
When Yu Tian received Gao Mei’s call, she had just finished editing a dental health educational video. She had planned to review some materials for her graduate school entrance exam, but Gao Mei’s unexpected call interrupted her.
Unlike usual, Gao Mei sounded hesitant and awkward today, her voice lacking its usual liveliness and cheerfulness—
“Little Fish, are you free tonight? I want to treat you to dinner. There’s something I need to talk to you about…”
This tone immediately made Yu Tian sit up straight. Gao Mei wasn’t someone who hid her feelings; clearly, she was facing some difficult dilemma and needed advice.
Yu Tian had already planned to have dinner with Yan Ming that evening, but how could she refuse a friend’s rare, indirect plea for help? Without hesitation, she decided to cancel her dinner plans with Yan Ming and immediately agreed to Gao Mei: “Sure, just text me the time and place. I’m free.”
Soon after hanging up, Gao Mei sent over the time and restaurant name.
Yu Tian briefly explained the situation to Yan Ming and rescheduled their dinner.
________________________________________
Yu Tian arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time. Gao Mei had given her the name of a private room.
However, when she pushed open the door to the private room, Gao Mei wasn’t there. Instead, a man in a suit sat inside. Even seated, his tall stature and long legs were evident.
He turned toward the sound, and their eyes met.
He paused, then smiled with a sense of relief: “So that’s how it is.”
Yu Tian, however, was completely confused: “Excuse me, did you come to the wrong room? This is where my friend invited me…”
The man smiled knowingly: “Gao Mei, right?”
“Ah… yes… And you are?”
“I’m Chen Linnan, Gao Mei’s classmate.” The man stood up politely and introduced himself.
Yu Tian instinctively cleared her throat and adopted perfect social etiquette: “Nice to meet you. I’m Yu Tian, Gao Mei’s friend.”
Could it be that Gao Mei’s problem was too complicated, so she called two friends to brainstorm together? After all, men and women think differently, and having diverse perspectives could ensure no blind spots in their discussion.
Since it was clear neither of them had entered the wrong room, Yu Tian could only sit down obediently, waiting for Gao Mei while making polite small talk with Chen Linnan.
As they chatted, Yu Tian learned that although Chen Linnan appeared to be a nine-to-five office worker in his suit, he was actually the boss of a popular live-streaming company. He had several science-focused content creators under his wing. Unlike other bosses who didn’t know much about their company’s operations, Chen Linnan was well-versed in the intricate details of science-related live streams, appearing to be the kind of person who handled everything personally.
After Yu Tian mentioned that she also ran a science-focused account, they found plenty of topics to discuss. The conversation flowed smoothly for half an hour without any awkward silences. As they delved deeper, Yu Tian discovered that Chen Linnan’s extensive knowledge stemmed from his own early days as a self-media creator.
He had started with webcomics, and the highly popular comic account “Lin Nan Lin Nan” was actually owned by him. However, after becoming a boss and getting busy, the account had almost stopped updating entirely in the past year and a half.
Because of this shared background, they found a lot of common ground.
Although the atmosphere wasn’t awkward, they were still waiting for Gao Mei. After half an hour, Yu Tian checked her watch and grew concerned: “Why hasn’t Gao Mei arrived yet? Maybe I should call her…”
Before she could pick up her phone, Chen Linnan chuckled softly and stopped her: “Gao Mei isn’t coming.”
“Huh?”
The man raised an eyebrow and smiled: “You didn’t realize? This is Gao Mei’s roundabout way of setting us up on a blind date.”
He casually glanced at Yu Tian twice: “Honestly, I was a bit upset when I first realized her intentions. But after talking to you, I surprisingly found it quite interesting.”
Chen Linnan was candid: “I stopped creating comics myself because I couldn’t move on after my ex-girlfriend passed away. I felt like my inspiration dried up, so I transitioned from being a creator to running a company, incubating and signing other content creators, providing them with resources and exposure while taking a share of their earnings.”
He smiled: “But after meeting you today, I suddenly feel inspired to create again.”
Yu Tian was extremely awkward. She didn’t know what had gotten into Gao Mei, but she had to clarify her relationship status to Chen Linnan—
“You might have misunderstood. Gao Mei definitely didn’t arrange this as a blind date because she knows I have a stable boyfriend…”
Despite Yu Tian’s honesty, Chen Linnan clearly didn’t buy it. He just smiled knowingly: “It’s fine. I’m a very persistent person. Even if you decline me like this, I’m not the type to give up easily.”
________________________________________
After much persuasion, Yu Tian fulfilled her obligation to explain herself. Regardless of whether he believed her or not, she firmly rejected Chen Linnan’s invitation to continue their meeting elsewhere and saw him off. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
To Yu Tian’s surprise, Gao Mei finally arrived late, entering the private room after Yu Tian and Chen Linnan had already parted ways.
Perhaps Chen Linnan had contacted Gao Mei earlier than Yu Tian, because Gao Mei seemed fully aware of Yu Tian’s grievances—
“You think Chen Linnan isn’t suitable for you? It’s fine, Little Fish. I know many single, high-quality young men. We can start as friends—it’s not like you have to start dating him right away. More friends mean more opportunities, and besides, he’s also in the self-media industry…”
What was this about?
Yu Tian was baffled: “I haven’t broken up with my boyfriend, and our relationship is stable. Did you misunderstand something? I don’t need to find a new boyfriend!”
To her surprise, her words made Gao Mei unusually serious. She looked at Yu Tian, her voice heavy: “I know you haven’t broken up.”
So?
“So you need to meet some new guys your age!”
Gao Mei’s words were deafening: “That way, you can get rid of your current boyfriend!”
Huh???
Gao Mei spoke with such conviction that Yu Tian was momentarily stunned before realizing something was off: “But why would I want to get rid of my current boyfriend…?”
At this, Gao Mei’s gaze shifted uncomfortably, filled with hesitation. But ultimately, as if some purpose had overcome her inner doubts, she made up her mind—
“Little Fish, does either of your parents know about this? Do you really think they’ll approve?”
Yu Tian froze, realizing what Gao Mei was referring to.
Her relationship with Yan Ming was stable, but they hadn’t formally told their parents about it yet. So Yu Tian shook her head: “We haven’t told our parents yet, but I don’t think they’d disapprove…”
Although Yan Ming’s family was wealthy, Yan Wen Hua didn’t seem like the type to care about a woman’s background. He appeared open-minded. Moreover, Yan Ming himself had grown up in a single-parent household, so Yan Wen Hua likely wouldn’t look down on Yu Tian’s similarly single-parent background.
But Gao Mei’s tone was filled with shock and urgency: “How could they possibly approve?! You absolutely cannot rush into telling them—it could literally get your legs broken!”
What???
Gao Mei’s expression was grave: “When did you two start this?”
Without giving Yu Tian a chance to respond, she continued: “Was it Yan Ming who led you astray? He’s older and more mature—he should’ve understood ethics and morality. Did he deceive you? When did this kind of relationship start? How far have you gone? You didn’t… do things you shouldn’t have, did you?”
She paused solemnly, as if carefully choosing her words. Finally, lowering her voice to ensure the bewildered Yu Tian understood, she asked: “Have you two… had sex?”
Well… of course they had. And multiple times at that…
Yan Ming was a doctor, not a saint. In short, any man would find it hard to resist…
The first time, Yan Ming had been somewhat reserved, appearing shy and innocent. But the second and third times…
Just thinking about it made Yu Tian blush. Men’s ability to learn quickly wasn’t always a good thing…
However, Yu Tian didn’t feel comfortable discussing such private matters with Gao Mei—it was too intimate and embarrassing. So she tried to steer the conversation elsewhere.
But her reaction had already revealed the answer to Gao Mei, who became extremely serious and grabbed Yu Tian’s hand: “Did Yan Ming force you?”
At this, Yu Tian realized something was very wrong.
Why had Yan Ming’s image in Gao Mei’s mind become so tarnished?
“Absolutely not! Yan Ming and I naturally grew closer over time. We had plenty of opportunities to interact, and it was a case of love developing gradually, right?”
“Even though we haven’t told our parents yet, Yan Ming has mentioned having dinner with his dad to discuss this matter. There’s no deception involved. Did you misunderstand something about him?” So why was she desperately trying to set me up with someone new?
Before Yu Tian could continue explaining, Gao Mei interrupted her with a grave expression, followed by a shocking and heart-wrenching question—
“Though it may not be appropriate to say this, all kinds of love should be celebrated. But Little Fish, have you considered that your relationship with Yan Ming is □□? This is highly immoral and goes against societal ethics!” ???!!!
Gao Mei seemed to have been mulling this over for a long time, but once she started speaking, she let it all out without reservation: “Little Fish, take my advice. Even if you and Yan Ming are distant relatives, you’re still related! And from how close you two seem, it doesn’t look like you’re just distant relatives. It feels like your blood relation might be closer than that. Whether from the perspective of ethics or public opinion, neither of your parents would approve!”
“If this gets out, it’ll be very damaging for both you and Dr. Yan. And as medical students, you must consider the principles of eugenics—I don’t even need to spell that out, do I?”
Gao Mei’s tone was heartfelt: “I know Yan Ming is excellent, but there are many other single, high-quality young men out there. If you’re willing to socialize more, you won’t have any trouble finding someone better than Yan Ming. Little Fish, you’re still so young, and maybe you haven’t met enough men your age. If you’re willing, I can accompany you during this time, take you to gatherings, and help you meet new people…”
“Perhaps you didn’t meet many men growing up, and since Yan Ming isn’t bad, you’ve fallen into an information bubble or developed some kind of conditioned thinking, brainwashed by him…”
Gao Mei looked cautious yet earnest, clearly having mulled over this topic for a long time. Her eyes reflected worry and concern as she gazed at Yu Tian.
“Yan Ming is a few years older than you. Could this be his doing? I’ve read many news reports about such cases, and I’ve even volunteered to counsel girls who were victims of abuse. Many girls are deceived the first time when they don’t know any better, and afterward, due to complex emotions, they convince themselves to frame this violation as love. But don’t be afraid—if you were coerced, I can accompany you when you report it to the police…”
Gao Mei’s face was filled with seriousness and sincerity, while Yu Tian stared wide-eyed, utterly bewildered. Her mind was also in turmoil.
Gao Mei took a deep breath, as if baring her soul, and continued in a heartfelt tone: “That night, when my friend and I were strolling through the night market, we happened to pass by a small alley and saw you and Yan Ming. I thought it was a coincidence and intended to greet you, but then I saw Yan Ming pull you in for a kiss…”
At this point, Gao Mei still seemed a bit shaken: “I was shocked, but I’m glad I didn’t call out to you. If we had bumped into each other at that moment, it would’ve been hard to handle.”
“Later, I didn’t follow you anymore and went home feeling distracted. That night, I couldn’t sleep and thought about it for a long time. Looking back, there were many signs between you and Yan Ming. At first, I thought Yan Ming’s gaze toward you was just because you were close siblings, but now I realize he looks at you the way a man looks at his woman, not the way a brother looks at his sister.”
Gao Mei reflected on herself: “I was too slow to realize it. I even thought about pursuing Yan Ming, but in reality, he probably had his sights set on you long ago—or perhaps he had been pursuing you for a while. After all, he’s a few years older than you and could easily take advantage of your naivety when you were around thirteen or fourteen…”
“And in the night market, with so many people around, and in Rong City of all places, Yan Ming usually acts so proper in the hospital, but that night, he kissed and hugged you without a care in the world! This shows how experienced he is! Who knows what he does to you in private when no one’s around!”
It seems that once women remove their rose-tinted glasses of love, they start seeing men in the worst possible light.
Previously, Gao Mei saw only Yan Ming’s virtues, but now, in her eyes, he had almost become a seducer or scammer…
“Yan Ming isn’t as bad as you think…”
After Gao Mei’s outburst, Yu Tian finally understood.
Yes, although Qi Sihao knew about her fake sister status, he hadn’t told Gao Mei about it. And later, Yu Tian hadn’t had the chance to clarify this misunderstanding with Gao Mei alone. Therefore, Gao Mei still believed that Yu Tian and Yan Ming were biological siblings. Her source of information was still limited to what Qi Sihao had said—that Yu Tian had a boyfriend…
Although the Kiss Cam incident had briefly gone viral, Gao Mei was a literary girl who rarely indulged in online activities. She preferred reading physical books and exploring shops, so she was unaware of the online buzz surrounding it.
This misunderstanding had led to the current absurd situation.
Yu Tian wasn’t sure how to bring it up—it felt difficult no matter how she tried to ease into the conversation.
So she decided to cut straight to the chase: “Um… Yan Ming and I… we’re actually not blood-related…”
Gao Mei was visibly startled: “Was one of you adopted?”
“It’s just… we’re not the kind of siblings you imagined…”
Though it was awkward, Yu Tian had no choice but to explain everything from the beginning—the near-marriage between her mother and Yan Ming’s father. By the time she finished, Gao Mei’s brow finally relaxed.
Yu Tian apologized: “Sorry for lying to you before.”
“It’s fine!” Gao Mei didn’t mind at all. She smiled as if a huge weight had been lifted: “Thinking about it now, I’m glad I didn’t manage to pursue Yan Ming.”
She teased playfully: “Because I think our Qi Sihao is better. Yan Ming is too much for me to handle—he’s better suited for you.”
Gao Mei recalled that unexpected encounter at night and couldn’t help but sigh: “I always thought Yan Ming was the type who wouldn’t smile or date unless others catered to him. But after seeing how he treats you, I realized that when a man meets the right person, there’s no way he can stay aloof.”
“Ah, you didn’t see the way Yan Ming looked at you that night—it was like how I look at my favorite bag in a store, sparkling with genuine affection.”
“There were a few men in the night market who turned to steal glances at you. Didn’t you notice? Yan Ming wanted to shield you completely, not letting anyone else look at you. The possessiveness in his eyes was overwhelming…”
Resting her chin on her hand, Gao Mei reminisced and teased Yu Tian: “I never expected Yan Ming to be so affectionate when in love.”
...
After this rare solo meeting, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Gao Mei and Yu Tian chatted about other things, sharing some hospital gossip before parting ways.
However, while Gao Mei left feeling enlightened and relieved, Yu Tian didn’t expect that this little episode would lead to a series of subsequent “troubles.”
At first, everything seemed calm. But what Yu Tian didn’t know was that after their meeting, Chen Linnan, despite being rejected, didn’t give up. He didn’t believe Yu Tian’s claim of having a boyfriend and remained persistent. Using another method, he made his intentions clear—
The top-tier webcomic account “Lin Nan Lin Nan,” which had been dormant for years, suddenly resumed updates with a new series!
For young readers of webcomics, this was akin to a “Renaissance”-level event.
“I thought Lin Nan had retired to become a boss, but I never expected to see him create again this year! I almost cried tears of joy!”
“When I was obsessed with Lin Nan’s webcomics in high school, I’m almost graduating from university now! Time flies, Lin Nan, my youth is back! I’ll support you forever!”
“The new story seems so sweet, like a romance? It feels like Lin Nan’s real-life experience. Turns out even Lin Nan gets dragged into blind dates, hahaha, just like helpless me.”
“The female protagonist, Miss Yu, rejected our handsome teacher Lin Nan three times in a row! Seeing Lin Nan get rejected makes me want to watch it for a month!”
...
As Yu Tian scrolled through her phone and read the webcomic, she was utterly dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that Chen Linnan would turn their accidental “blind date” into a serialized comic strip with a playful tone. The title of the series was deliberately suggestive—How to Catch a Fish .
Of course, Chen Linnan didn’t use their real names, and specific details like the restaurant were fictionalized. However, netizens were resourceful, and someone managed to deduce the restaurant’s location. Coincidentally, one of the waiters that night happened to be a fan of Chen Linnan.
Through word of mouth, the information aligned—
“The girl who had dinner with Teacher Lin Nan! I’ve seen her before—at the platform’s content creator event. Isn’t she ‘Little Fish Loves Candy’?”
...
This revelation caused chaos in the comments section under Chen Linnan’s webcomic—
“Did Little Fish break up with her doctor boyfriend?”
“This seems too quick. Wasn’t she showing affection during the Kiss Cam just a short while ago? And now they’ve broken up?”
“... Have you considered that this might be infidelity…?”
“Looks like we’re witnessing a potential drama unfold…”
...
As Yu Tian scrolled through the online comments, she felt her head spinning.
Not long ago, the First Affiliated Hospital of Rong City had created official Weibo accounts for each attending physician to promote eye health. These accounts were used to provide free consultations online and educate the public about eye care. This was a joint initiative with a charitable foundation, and the doctors participated voluntarily to answer questions. The foundation would also donate funds for eye-related charity work for impoverished individuals. As part of this initiative, Yan Ming had an officially verified Weibo account.
Due to his stern and unsmiling response style, combined with the earlier Kiss Cam incident, Yan Ming’s account had attracted attention from many netizens during the campaign.
At the time, Yu Tian had found it amusing. But now, looking at the comments tagging Yan Ming’s Weibo account under Chen Linnan’s webcomic, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
This generation of netizens loved drama and were brimming with a sense of justice. After seeing the webcomic, they suspected Yu Tian of cheating and enthusiastically called for Yan Ming to confront her online.
With no other choice, Yu Tian immediately contacted Gao Mei, explained the situation, and asked her to help communicate with Chen Linnan. At the same time, she posted a clarification statement on her own social media account.
Fortunately, Yan Ming seemed too busy to pay attention to social media and hadn’t logged into his Weibo account since the campaign.
Despite the flood of mentions directed at Yan Ming online, he showed no signs of being affected during his date with Yu Tian that evening.
Yu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he hadn’t seen anything.
Thankfully, after Gao Mei communicated with Chen Linnan, he agreed to release a new comic strip clarifying the misunderstanding, which would gradually dispel the rumors.
Crisis averted.
Just as Yu Tian was about to relax and figure out how to contact Chen Linnan to take down the original comic, she heard Yan Ming’s voice—
“So you’re looking for a new brother again?”
Yan Ming’s tone was calm and casual, as if he were commenting on the weather. But the underlying accusation and emotion in that short sentence made Yu Tian feel like a criminal caught red-handed, leaving her embarrassed and ashamed.
Yan Ming glanced at Yu Tian: “Did I, as your brother, do something wrong?”
“...”
Yan Ming didn’t accuse or interrogate her, nor did he lose his temper. Yet Yu Tian felt even more restless.
She immediately spilled everything—Gao Mei’s misunderstanding, her accidental meeting with Chen Linnan—and repeatedly emphasized that she had no ulterior motives.
“How could I look for a new brother?” By the end of her explanation, Yu Tian sounded somewhat aggrieved. “Where would I find the energy to look for a new brother?”
“I’m exhausted every night from dealing with you. I’m so tired I could die.” She muttered under her breath, “Is it even legal for doctors to have this much stamina?”
But Yan Ming remained unfazed, calmly explaining: “As a surgeon, you often have to stand for hours during surgeries, so endurance comes naturally.” He glanced at Yu Tian. “On the other hand, you should exercise more. Your stamina is terrible—you’re always panting and begging me to stop…”
Yu Tian’s mind wandered, and her entire face turned red. She quickly covered Yan Ming’s mouth, fearing what outrageous thing he might say next.
“Stop talking!” Yu Tian whispered sharply. “Don’t say another word!”
“I don’t need another brother. Dealing with you alone is already more than I can handle.”
This time, Yan Ming didn’t act sulky. He took Yu Tian’s hand: “Alright, from now on, you can only call me your brother.”
He thought for a moment: “But to avoid misunderstandings like Gao Mei’s in the future, I think we should clarify our relationship.”
“Although I’m your brother, I’m the kind of brother who sleeps with you despite not being blood-related.”
After delivering this serious statement, Yan Ming leaned down and kissed Yu Tian’s cheek, then whispered something quietly into her ear.
Yu Tian’s face turned completely red. She turned her head and glared at Yan Ming, feigning anger: “Can’t you develop some other hobbies? Since when did you start having these kinds of interests after meeting me!”
“My interests have always been very focused. I told you when we first met—I like sleeping.”
Yan Ming grinned mischievously: “And I still like sleeping now.”
He added: “With you.”
...
That night, Yu Tian experienced firsthand what it meant to “practice what you preach.” The next morning, without Yan Ming saying a word, she angrily got up and decided to contact Chen Linnan again to urge him to release a new clarifying comic. If this wasn’t resolved, who knew how Yan Ming would use this incident to escalate things further!
However, when she woke up late and checked Weibo, her feed was flooded with “envy and blessings.”
Half an hour later, Yu Tian finally figured out what had happened.
As if to compete with Chen Linnan, the stern and serious Dr. Yan had somehow managed to create a comic strip early that morning while Yu Tian was still asleep.
When Yu Tian opened the comic, she nearly burst out laughing.
Unlike Chen Linnan, Yan Ming had no artistic talent. With elementary-school-level drawing skills, he had boldly created a sarcastic comic targeting Chen Linnan.
He drew himself and Yu Tian in a cute manner, but deliberately made Chen Linnan’s character look ridiculous.
Using the same comic format, Yan Ming recounted his and Yu Tian’s first meeting, their misunderstandings, and how they eventually came together. Along the way, he showcased their love and clarified the misunderstanding behind Yu Tian meeting Chen Linnan.
In the end, this guy had the audacity to name his comic strip—Civilized Fishing: Don’t Steal Fish from Someone Else’s Pond .
Yan Ming had already left for work, and by the time Yu Tian checked the clock, he should have finished his outpatient duties and started his lunch break.
Unable to hold back, Yu Tian called Yan Ming.
But the call was immediately disconnected.
Perplexed, Yu Tian tried calling again, only to have it disconnected once more.
Just as she was feeling down and preparing to try a third time, she heard movement at the door.
Instinctively turning her head, she saw Yan Ming, looking slightly disheveled, returning home during his lunch break.
He wore casual clothes and carried a takeout box clearly prepared for Yu Tian. It wasn’t fancy, but Yu Tian’s heart raced nonetheless.
After being together for a while, she still couldn’t resist feeling drawn to Yan Ming in everyday moments.
Suppressing her racing heart, Yu Tian tried to sound calm: “Why are you back? With such a short lunch break, shouldn’t you rest?”
The usually stern Dr. Yan placed the takeout box down and walked over to Yu Tian, speaking with natural confidence—
“Can’t I come back if I miss you?”
Then this possessive older brother leaned down and kissed Yu Tian.
“The old brother needs to remind you of his presence from time to time, to prevent any new brothers from sneaking in to steal my fish.”
He spoke seriously: “After all, my pond has only one fish, and I’ve been raising it for a long time. It can’t be stolen.”
“Tomorrow night, invite your mom, and we’ll have dinner with my dad.”
Yan Ming’s tone was solemn: “I need to make this official.”
“Otherwise, before I know it, my pond might be emptied.” He sighed with a hint of complaint and helplessness. “Who can blame me when my fish is so attractive, and some anglers in Rong City have absolutely no morals?”
Yu Tian couldn’t help but laugh.
But soon, she stopped laughing.
Because Dr. Yan had already started taking off his coat: “I’ve thought about it. Rather than constantly worrying about my fish being stolen, I’d rather eat it myself to feel more at ease.”
As he removed his coat, he glanced at the wall clock—
“There’s still an hour left until lunch break ends.”
“Enough time to eat fish.”
