Bi Lei rode for more than 40 minutes in the heavy snow. She was thinking that Wang Ruizhe was still a patient and shouldn't get cold, so she just kept brushing the snow off him.

But he forgot that his hat and clothes were covered in snow, making him look like a snowman.

She took off her scarf, her nose was red, her voice was nasal, and her teeth were chattering: "He's quite ill, I couldn't bear to see him like this, so I rushed him here. Please take a look at him."

Seeing her like this, the old doctor quickly went to the table, grabbed a thermos, and poured her a cup of hot water.

"You little girl, you just came back like that? Why didn't you have one of the village's livestock give you a ride?"

Bi Lei took the hot water without a word, seemingly unconcerned. Their village was poor, and livestock were practically the most valuable possessions in a household.

The old doctor felt a pang of sympathy seeing her flushed face.

At this moment, Wang Ruizhe's temperature came back up: 39.1 degrees Celsius. Let's get him on an IV drip right away!

“I’m not weak, this time is an exception.” A faint male voice came from the side.

Bi Lei glanced at him sideways. Although she didn't say a word, Wang Ruizhe still understood what she meant.

Good health, that's all?

"New Year's Day is just around the corner. It seems that God took pity on me and couldn't bear to let me spend the New Year alone. So He sent you to keep me company. Please don't send me away, okay? I was alone last year, and I'm still alone this year."

At this moment, Wang Ruizhe's face was burning red, even the tips of his ears were red, and he looked pitiful. With his glasses off, he looked somewhat innocent. In particular, his voice was a little hoarse.

Bi Lei's head ached from the cold wind, and the old doctor gave her two pills. She was feeling dizzy and her basic thinking ability was gone.

Bi Lei felt that Wang Ruizhe's sudden display of weakness in front of her was somewhat in line with his cunning persona.

Poor thing, yet strangely attractive.

"Suit yourself. This doghouse isn't my home. You can stay here if you want."

At this moment, there were still three days until New Year's Day. Little did Bi Lei know that the impending surprise made her wish she could turn back time and slap herself.

Half asleep, Wang Ruizhe realized he had achieved his goal and fell into a deep sleep.

With her last ounce of consciousness, Bi Lei called Bao Yiting and told her that after two more days of accompanying Wang Ruizhe for his IV drips, she could go back home.

After hanging up the phone, Bao Yiting couldn't contain her excitement. She immediately made a call to Shishi.

This is an absolutely shocking revelation!

Shi Shi, who was being fed cherries by her boyfriend, suddenly sat up, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Your melon, or Lei's melon?"

"Of course it belongs to Leilei, what gossip could I possibly have?"

"Speak! Speak!"

"The day before yesterday, your old man's friend, that Wang Ruizhe, came to see Leilei!"

He was so excited that his voice was quite loud, and Fu Yingzhou, who was next to him, naturally heard it as well.

However, knowing his brother as he did, he wasn't surprised at all.

"And then? And then?!" Shishi pressed.

"The man was burning up with fever today, so the two of them went to see a doctor!"

Shishi asked incredulously, "Is Leilei really that fierce? What's going on?"

On the other end of the phone, Bao Yiting rolled her eyes: "You've all been corrupted by your old man. That guy just had a fever."

Fu Yingzhou, who was standing next to him, was unfortunately caught in the crossfire. He already had the reputation of being an old man, and now he was also labeled as a cunning and scheming old man.

"Huh? That's it?"

"No, no, no, it's not just that, I think there's something going on between them."

"Please, Miss Bao, tell us more."

"The night he arrived, Leilei actually served him a spoonful of beef sauce, the kind Auntie made herself!!"

!!! !!! !

Fu Yingzhou, who was standing next to him, was speechless and felt sorry for Wang Ruizhe.

He didn't know the situation, but Shishi did. Leilei was very possessive of her food, especially since her mother's arm was inconvenient. Bi Laoba was a doting husband who almost never let his wife cook or do any chopping or cutting work.

Even she herself had only been fortunate enough to eat it once or twice.

“So she’s pretty good to this guy.” Fu Yingzhou, who was standing next to his girlfriend, was speechless at his girlfriend’s words.

The road to winning back his wife is long and arduous. It seems he wants to marry Shishi as soon as possible, and the test of his girlfriends' group is especially important!

The two sisters said a few more random words and then hung up the phone.

Shishi turned her head and began interrogating Fu Yingzhou: "What's the situation with that Wang Ruizhe?"

Fu Yingzhou already knew that it was Wang Huli who had betrayed him. But he considered himself to have a high moral standard and would not do the same thing as his brother.

"It's their relationship's business, isn't it inappropriate for us to interfere?"

"I didn't say I was going to get involved. I'm just doing a background check for my best friend. Background checks are just a basic procedure for employers these days, don't make a fuss!" Shishi glared at him with an expression that said, "You've never seen anything like this before."

“He is an only child. The Wang family is harmonious. Wang Ruizhe’s grandfather is still alive, and his father has only one older sister. Ruizhe’s aunt has two children. Including him, there are three people in his generation.”

Seeing that Shishi seemed dissatisfied, he had no choice but to say more.

"Ruize works at the Health Commission. A few years ago, infectious diseases were rampant. He performed well and is now highly valued by his superiors. His future looks very bright."

That's all??

Fu Yingzhou said tactfully, "Little Grass, we still have a pretty good relationship."

The implication is that betraying one's brothers is not a good thing.

Shishi didn't care about that. She stretched out two fingers and precisely pinched one of Fu Yingzhou's "red agate" breasts through his pajamas.

Fu Yingzhou let out a muffled groan.

"I was wrong! What do you want to know? Ask away."

I'm sorry, Ruizhe.

"Of course it's your romantic history! Were you dating any scumbags or womanizers?"

He could assure him of this: "Ruize is not only a bit of a germaphobe, but also very demanding when it comes to emotions. It's like a kind of mental fastidiousness."

"Are there any unrequited loves, like a white moonlight or a cinnabar mole? Like a first love who left many years ago, looking for a substitute or something?"

Spending a lot of time with Shishi has obviously improved my understanding of these kinds of words.

"No, no, absolutely not."

He didn't really understand why he needed to find a substitute for his first love, since they had broken up but she wasn't dead.

For them, there wasn't really a deeply unforgettable first love. If it were truly that unforgettable, of course they'd keep it by their side! I just don't understand it.

"Are Wang Ruizhe's parents easy to get along with?" It seemed to be a warning to him not to play tricks or lie. Shi Shi not only didn't let go of his two fingers, but also twisted them slightly half a turn.

It seems his girlfriend values ​​mother-in-law/daughter-in-law issues, so he's decided to make some plans for himself.

"Although they are not as easy to get along with as my mother, the Wang family is not as prejudiced against different social classes."

"Little grass, I've been so good. Shouldn't I get a reward?"

...

...

Shi Shi swallowed the words she was about to say.
