Yan Feifan and Yu Suye scrambled out of the car. A man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, sporting a bowl cut, was hunched over the hood, vomiting violently.

What he was spewing was bright red, foamy blood!

A quick visual estimate suggested he had thrown up at least two or three hundred milliliters.

“Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding!”

Yan Feifan and Yu Suye made the diagnosis in an instant.

With no medicine or tools on hand, there was little the two of them could do in terms of first aid.

Noticing the man’s consciousness was fading and he was vomiting purely on instinct, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye worked together to help him into the back seat of the car.

Yan Feifan took charge of the man, making sure he didn’t aspirate on his own vomit and suffocate.

Yu Suye got behind the wheel and, using the GPS, sped toward the nearest hospital.

Unfortunately, they hit a traffic jam as soon as they drove out of the courtyard complex. The flow of cars was crawling.

In her desperation, Yu Suye switched to a dangerous driving mode, weaving through any gap she could find, even driving on the sidewalk at times.

It didn’t take long for their car to attract the attention of a traffic cop.

The traffic cop pulled up on his motorcycle, saw the hood covered in blood and filth, and then saw the two blood-soaked figures in the back seat.

Without a second thought, the officer flipped on his siren and started clearing a path for them…

Fifteen or sixteen minutes later, Yu Suye finally pulled the BMW into a hospital’s entrance.

The man who had been vomiting blood was taken away by the hospital’s emergency personnel.

Yu Suye explained the situation to the traffic cop.

Thankfully, the BMW was equipped with a dashcam; otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain everything so quickly.

The traffic cop took down Yu Suye’s contact information, snapped a few photos of the car, downloaded the footage from the dashcam, and told her she was free to go.

But now, the car was covered inside and out with bloodstains and vomit, and both Yan Feifan and Yu Suye had gotten a fair amount on themselves.

On top of that, everything reeked of a sour stench…

In the rush to save the man’s life, they hadn’t paid any mind to it.

Now, they looked at each other, caught a whiff of that pungent odor, and found it utterly unbearable.

Spotting a rather upscale hotel—the Jingcheng Guomao Grand Hotel—not far across the street from the hospital, they made an instant decision.

Yu Suye parked the car in the hospital’s lot, abandoned it, and hurried across the street with Yan Feifan into the Guomao Grand Hotel.

Under the wary and scrutinizing gazes of the front desk staff, Yu Suye casually booked a standard room and completed the check-in process…

When Yan Feifan emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered and wearing a bathrobe, he saw that Yu Suye had also changed into one of the hotel’s robes.

“Feifan, I had the hotel staff take our clothes to be laundered. They’ll be delivered back tomorrow morning.”

Before Yan Feifan could even ask why it would take until tomorrow morning, Yu Suye eagerly dashed into the bathroom…

Yu Suye’s shower lasted nearly an hour.

Her face flushed from the hot water, Yu Suye emerged from the bathroom smelling of fragrant soap and drying her hair with a towel. She saw Yan Feifan lying primly on one of the beds, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

Yu Suye sniffed the air gently.

Following the smell of food, she spotted a takeout container on the round table in the room’s seating area.

Another one was already in the trash can.

Seeing this, Yu Suye felt a pang of disappointment, yet also felt it was completely expected.

‘If I had walked out to see romantic red wine, candles, and a Western-style dinner, then he wouldn’t be the same dense, clueless Yan Feifan I fell for.’

‘But still, couldn’t he at least have waited to have dinner with me?’

Feeling a little dejected, Yu Suye realized she was indeed hungry.

She went to the round table, sat down, and opened the still-warm takeout container to find two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Braised beef brisket, a fish fillet, stir-fried water bamboo, and stir-fried loofah.

A warmth spread through Yu Suye’s heart.

These were all dishes she particularly enjoyed.

They hadn’t eaten together that many times at the Affiliated Hospital, so it seemed he had been secretly paying attention and remembered her favorites.

‘Hmph. On the surface, you ignore me and treat me like a stranger, but these little details expose what you really feel inside.’

‘You’re so insincere, just like all the other men. Hmph…’

Her mood suddenly lifting, Yu Suye picked up a piece of loofah and took a bite. It wasn’t half bad.

“Feifan, are you asleep?”

“No!”

“What are you doing? Feeling homesick?”

“I’m organizing my thoughts for the paper on intrathecal tumor puncture and injection surgery. I should be ready to finalize it when I get back to Binhai.”

Yu Suye swallowed a piece of braised beef brisket and suddenly smiled. “I was weaving all over the road just now, but I don’t think I saw you looking nervous or scared at all.”

Yan Feifan opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and said, “My attention was diverted by a more pressing matter.”

He hesitated for a moment before asking somewhat unnaturally, “So, we’re sleeping here tonight?”

Yu Suye hummed in agreement. “Well, this is a five-star hotel, after all. The accommodations are decent enough.”

“Besides, our clothes won’t be back until tomorrow morning.”

Then, in a sweet, teasing voice, she added, “Don’t worry, Feifan. One person per bed. I won’t try anything funny.”

Yan Feifan gave a slightly awkward smile. “I’m just not used to sharing a room with others. I avoid it when I can.”

“Su Ye, you don’t have any bad habits like snoring, grinding your teeth, talking in your sleep, or sleepwalking, do you?”

Yu Suye said through clenched teeth, “Yan Feifan, I’m a lady, you know.”

Yan Feifan replied with a completely straight face, “Snoring, grinding your teeth, talking in your sleep, and sleepwalking are physiological and psychological issues. They have no necessary correlation with whether or not one is a lady.”

“Su Ye, you still haven’t given me a clear answer. Do you or don’t you…”

Yu Suye said indignantly, “No! No! I don’t have a single bad habit! I won’t disturb your rest.”

“There, are you satisfied now?”

Seeing Yan Feifan lie back down on the bed with a satisfied look, Yu Suye imagined the food in front of her was him and started eating with great force.

“Eating so loudly isn’t very ladylike!”

That comment made Yu Suye’s anger suddenly flare up, and she couldn’t help but threaten, “Yan Feifan, do you want to get kicked too?”

The moment the words left her mouth, Yu Suye regretted them.

She realized she couldn’t control her emotions when she was around Yan Feifan.

‘Is it because I care too much?’

“Feifan, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that all my nice plans for tonight were ruined by that accident.”

“It’s left me feeling all pent-up and angry.”

“Feifan, I’m usually very gentle, really.”

Yan Feifan sat up again and said, “I believe you. You are quite gentle. Just like my sister…”

After finishing her meal and tidying up, Yu Suye went back into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.

When she came out, she saw that Yan Feifan was already tucked tightly under the covers, seemingly ready for sleep.

Yu Suye was so exasperated she had to laugh. “Yan Feifan, it’s only nine-thirty. Do you go to bed this early at home, too?”

“And you’re all bundled up like that. Are you afraid I’m going to molest you?”

Yan Feifan opened his eyes and stated frankly, “I always sleep with my blanket pulled up like this at home.”

Yu Suye plopped down on Yan Feifan’s bed and said in a commanding tone, “Get up. Let’s talk for a bit.”

Yan Feifan sat up with a look of resignation. “How about this? Let’s play a game.”

“If I lose, I’ll do what you say.”

“If you lose, you’ll do what I say.”

“First, tell me what kind of game,” Yu Suye asked warily.

Yan Feifan explained, “It’s a very simple game.”

“One of us will name any three symptoms, for example, abdominal pain, hand pain, and foot pain, and the other person has to name a disease that includes all three symptoms.”

“You can’t miss any, and you can’t be wrong!”

Yu Suye’s eyes darted back and forth. “Feifan, your encyclopedic knowledge is famous. You have an absolute advantage in this game.”

“You have to give me a handicap!”

Yan Feifan nodded. “Okay!”

Yu Suye giggled. “How about this? We’ll play ten rounds. If I win just once, it counts as you losing.

“Deal?”

Yan Feifan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Deal!”

Yu Suye let out an excited cheer. “Feifan, let’s be clear! This is like a game of dares. The loser has to unconditionally do whatever the winner tells them to do… anything at all…”

Yan Feifan thought for a moment, then nodded again. “Alright…”
