Qian Mings face twisted and he looked up in horror.

The woman had delicate features and was slim-built, and her smile was as bright as a summer flower.

It was a face he would never forget!

OMG!

It was Su Xiaomo!

To him, that name was like a calling card from hell, reminding him of the utter terror that used to dominate his world!

Terrified, Qian Ming wrapped himself around He Jiayus leg. Dr. He, my senior, help!

He Jiayu cleared his throat. Please get up and we can talk about it.

No! Im not going anywhere unless you help me!

Shit! Dont you have any shame? Youre the kind of patient I dislike the most, threatening your doctors and bullying the weak! You people are the ones who ruin doctor-patient relationships! Su Xiaomo said indignantly. Grabbing at He Jiayus trousers, Qian Ming asked, Dr. He, why is this devil here?

He Jiayu said, Shes my other half.

Other half? Which half? As in she was his wife?

Qian Ming was full of despair, memories of being ordered around by Su Xiaomo rushing back into his head.

He was doomed. Back then, she had single-handedly kicked him around. Was it going to turn into mixed doubles now?

Please let me go, pleaded Qian Ming in a pitiful voice.

He Jiayu helped him to his feet in resignation. Momo meant not harm. She only thought that you were going to assault me.

Qian Ming asked dumbly, What? Dr. He, are you under her protection?

Come to think of it, that was actually the case He Jiayu nodded. Thats right.

All of a sudden, Qian Ming wasnt afraid of him anymore and even patted his shoulder sympathetically. I was wrong about you, Mr. He. I see that youre also the slave in this relationship.

Aww! He had actually married the fiend! How courageous!

Su Xiaomo rested her hands on her waist. Hey! Whats that supposed to mean?!

After looking at Qian Mings face more closely, a look of recognition flickered in her eyes. Why, its you, Anpanman! Youre much better-looking now!

Qian Ming forced a smile. Am I Hoho

Thats right! You look like youve had plastic surgery! Where did you get your botox done? Su Xiaomo asked enthusiastically.

Qian Ming roared, I was ugly before because I was fat! I got handsome after I lost weight!

Su Xiaomo glanced at him with an impassive face. Why are you yelling at me?

Qian Ming backed off right away, somehow feeling the urge to kneel at her feet.

Ahem. Youre neither depressed nor have bipolar disorder. What youre experiencing is probably the result of an overactive sex life So, take it easy in that respect, or maybe dont touch yourself as often. He Jiayu patted him on the shoulder.

Utterly abashed, Qian Ming promptly left without daring to look at Su Xiaomo again.

After he was gone, He Jiayu sat Su Xiaomo down on his lap, smiling mildly. You know him?

We were middle school classmates Su Xiaomo scratched her head, feeling a little bashful.

She would rather leave the less honorable legends of her in the past

Poking He Jiayus cheek, she said, Youve lost weight again.

Have I? The food here at the hospital is awful. He Jiayu didnt think much of it. Wheres Cuddlie?

Shes with the nanny. Im meeting a friend in the neighborhood and thought I should drop by. Su Xiaomo chuckled. Im off, then. Work hard and dont come home too late! You still have to warm my bed~

He Jiayu smiled. No problem.

It was pleasantly sunny that day and He Jiayus smile looked warm enough to melt ice.

However, He Jiayu never came home that night.

There was a major influenza outbreak, and the first patient was sent to the hospital He Jiayu was at.

That night, all the medical staff who had been involved in treating the patient were quarantined.

Su Xiaomo was holding Cuddlie when she got the phone call. All the color immediately drained from her face.

Her face felt ticklish when she put down the phone. Touching her cheeks, she realized that they were streaked with tears.

The news soon got out and the entire city panicked.

Su Xiaomo sat on the sofa in a state of stupor as she refreshed her WeChat repeatedly. Usually, He Jiayu would send her a message no matter how late he had to work or how many surgeries he had to perform.

But today, there was nothing.

To calm down, she checked her social media account and saw one of her friends post:All the medical staff that made contact with the patient should die with the patient. It would stop the flu spread all at once. Gimme a thumbs up if you agree with me.

Su Xiaomo burst into tears right away. She left a f**k you in the comments section and removed the person from her friends list.

Cuddlie could utter a few simple words now and she said in her baby voice, Mama no, no cry kiss

She pursed her lips and kissed Su Xiaomo on the cheek.

The doorbell rang and Su Xiaomo dragged her exhausted body off the sofa to answer it. An Xiaxia had a panicked look in her eyes when the door opened.

Momo!

Tears welled up in An Xiaxias eyes when she saw Su Xiaomo cry.

Dont worry Its not like its SARS or bird flu. Its probably just a minor influenza outbreak, and everything will be fine once they find the vaccine. An Xiaxia walked in, too flustered to even take her shoes off. She started consoling Su Xiaomo right away.

Su Xiaomo tried her best to squeeze out a smile, which looked worse than a grimace.

An Xiaxia sat her down on the sofa, then made some milk for Cuddlie and ordered some takeaway for Su Xiaomo, making her eat it when it was delivered.

Cuddlie was a lamb. She fell asleep as soon as she was fed.

An Xiaxia took out two blankets, turned the TV on, and said in a tone as cheerful as she could manage, Shall we watch some variety show? Or would you prefer a movie?

Su Xiaomo clutched her blanket and wouldnt utter a word.

An Xiaxia picked a movie and played it.

It was an old movie filled with zombies, hospital scenes, and shoot-outs

However, the tone of the movie was rather grim. Whenever the characters narrowly escaped death and things seemed to look hopeful, they were confronted with even more difficulties. The despair never seemed to end.

Ahem Lets watch something else. An Xiaxia picked up the remote control, but Su Xiaomo murmured, Lets just watch this.

Alright.

Su Xiaomo stared at the main character on the screen. He was a handsome doctor and an expert at his job. His smile was unbelievably gentle.

Just like He Jiayu.

He Jiayu looked just as attractive with a scalpel in his hand. He was equally attentive to all his patients and in his operations.

However as a doctor, even if he could save all the patients in the world, he still couldnt save himself.

An Xiaxia felt a throbbing pain in her chest when she saw the tears roll down Su Xiaomos cheeks.

She rarely saw Su Xiaomo cry. Back in middle school when she messed around with the boys, she would still laugh and tell dirty jokes even when her head was cracked open.

She had always thought that Su Xiaomo was incapable of being fragile.

Wrapping her arms around her friend, An Xiaxia said, Its ok Im sure everything will turn out just fine. Momo, dont cry

Her phone vibrated, which startled Su Xiaomo. She grabbed it in a hurry.

There was a red dot on the green WeChat icon.

I I cant do it. Please check it for me Su Xiaomo stuffed the phone into An Xiaxias hands, and clenched her fists.

An Xiaxia tapped it open, and then was more excited than Su Xiaomo. Its from He Jiayu! He Jiayu sent you a message!
