After hanging up the call, Su Ruiyi's mind was filled with Sasha's devious tricks. Angrily, she was about to take off the bracelet Sasha had given her and throw it away when the butler rushed in.
Su Ruiyi: "What is it! Can't you see I'm upset!"
Butler: "Miss, Mr. Ou is back again."
Su Ruiyi: "Back? So what if he's back? What does it have to do with..."
Su Ruiyi: "Who's back?"
Butler: "Mr. Ou, his car drove back again, and he's parking."
Su Ruiyi quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe away her tears and sat upright on the sofa, pretending to read a magazine.
Butler: "Oh? Mr. Ou, why are you back again?"
Ou Yunchen: "Where is Su Ruiyi?"
The butler moved aside slightly, and Ou Yunchen saw Su Ruiyi sitting there reading a magazine, but...
Su Ruiyi: "What is it? Did you forget something?"
Ou Yunchen: "Come with me."
Su Ruiyi pretended to look out the window.
Su Ruiyi: "It's already dark, I don't want to go out. Besides, you're going to see... it might be inconvenient for me to go."
Ou Yunchen walked over and was about to take Su Ruiyi's magazine, but Su Ruiyi held onto it.
Ou Yunchen: "You're holding the magazine upside down, what are you reading?"
Su Ruiyi was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground, but she still tried to maintain her lady-like demeanor!
Ou Yunchen: "Can you act normal?"
Su Ruiyi: "How am I not normal?"
Ou Yunchen: "I liked you when you were like you used to be, but this pretense now..."
Su Ruiyi: "Really? You liked me the way I was before?"
Ou Yunchen looked at Su Ruiyi bouncing back to life, her eyes sparkling, and finally relaxed. This was the Su Ruiyi he knew. The act she put on earlier was too torturous.
Ou Yunchen: "Being angry is being angry, being happy is being happy. This is you, the way Su Ruiyi should be!"
Su Ruiyi: "I am indeed angry! You chatted with other girls in front of me and said it was inconvenient, of course I'm jealous..."
Ou Yunchen: "I wasn't chatting with any girls..."
Su Ruiyi: "Don't lie, I'm already upset. Your way of coaxing me will only make me angrier! Deceiving me is even more shameful!"
Ou Yunchen sighed helplessly and took out his phone to call back.
Ou Yunchen put the call on speaker, and a man's voice came from the phone.
-- Ou Yunchen on call --
z: "Brother! Where are you! You didn't forget to bring me the game console I wanted, did you?"
Ou Yunchen: "Didn't forget."
z: "And fried chicken and beer, right!"
Ou Yunchen: "Yang Danzhou told you not to eat it."
z: "Don't worry, she's not here."
-- Call ends --
Ou Yunchen put away his phone, and Su Ruiyi giggled, admitting she had misunderstood.
Ou Yunchen: "I'll give you five minutes. Get ready and come with me."
Su Ruiyi: "Ten minutes!!!"
Ou Yunchen: "Eight minutes."
Su Ruiyi: "Seven minutes!"
Ou Yunchen: "Thirty seconds have already passed."
Su Ruiyi, while rushing upstairs, asked Ou Yunchen for more time. Meeting his brother? She had to dress up nicely.
***
All the way, Su Ruiyi asked countless questions about Ou Yunchen's brother, hoping to make a good impression on their first meeting.
But Ou Yunchen's words extinguished Su Ruiyi's enthusiasm.
Ou Yunchen: "He's not my biological brother, just a close friend we've known since childhood."
Su Ruiyi: "I dressed up as if I were meeting the parents."
Ou Yunchen: "I can tell."
Su Ruiyi: "Then he called you brother as soon as he saw you, I thought he was your real brother..."
Ou Yunchen: "Then why didn't you ask me?"
Su Ruiyi: "My friend told me you definitely don't like a girlfriend who talks too much..."
Ou Yunchen: "And did that friend also tell you to be gentle?"
Su Ruiyi: "Mhm..."
Ou Yunchen: "She was quite right about that."
Su Ruiyi: "So what do you actually like about me!"
Ou Yunchen ruffled Su Ruiyi's hair. Even though Su Ruiyi slapped his hand away, he still found this little cat, who puffed up her fur, more interesting!

Upon arriving at the sanatorium, z was already having a blast in the hospital room.
z: "Brother, is that you? The door isn't locked, just come in."
Su Ruiyi followed Ou Yunchen. z glanced over and, upon seeing a girl, immediately dropped the game console he was holding.
z: "Hi!"
Su Ruiyi: "Hi."
z sneakily moved closer to Ou Yunchen and scrutinized Su Ruiyi.
Ou Yunchen: "Su Ruiyi, my girlfriend."
Su Ruiyi's heart was overflowing with joy. She was acknowledged?!
z: "Hello, I'm z, Ou's good brother."
Su Ruiyi: "Hello."
z: "Sit, sit down."
Although Su Ruiyi was bold in front of Ou Yunchen, she was quite proper when meeting strangers. 138Reading.net
z: "You're so pretty, sister-in-law, want a drink? I have..."
Su Ruiyi: "No, no thank you."
z leaned closer to Ou Yunchen and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is she of age?"
Su Ruiyi overheard this and became even happier. She was in her twenties, did she look that young? Heh! This kid really knows how to talk!
Ou Yunchen: "She's an adult!"
z: "She doesn't have much of a chest..."
Ou Yunchen: "You're asking for a beating!"
Su Ruiyi's face instantly fell...
Ou Yunchen: "He's just joking..."
Su Ruiyi: "It's okay."
As she spoke, Su Ruiyi deliberately straightened her posture. However, at this moment, a nurse came in for rounds. Su Ruiyi then witnessed what a high-end cosmetic surgery and rehabilitation center looked like. The staff here must have had a lot of enhancements...
Compared to them, she, being all-natural, did seem a bit... small...
Ou Yunchen: "It seems you're having a good time here. It's time to be discharged."
z: "Ah, I wish I could, but Yang Danzhou won't let me leave."
Ou Yunchen looked at z's face. The swelling had subsided in most areas, and except for a few faint scars, he looked like a normal person.
z: "Miss Su, do you have any sisters or younger sisters at home?"
Su Ruiyi: "No."
Ou Yunchen: "Don't even think about it. I think Yang Danzhou is quite good. She takes good care of you."
z: "But she's too fierce, and she keeps a very close eye on me. She doesn't let me do this, doesn't let me do that..."
Ou Yunchen: "That's all for your own good."
z: "I think Miss Su is quite good, gentle and virtuous..."
The reason z misunderstood was entirely because Su Ruiyi had just peeled an orange and handed it to Ou Yunchen. She was truly giving Ou Yunchen plenty of face in front of others!
Ou Yunchen: "She..."
Su Ruiyi immediately linked her arm through Ou Yunchen's and secretly pinched him.
Ou Yunchen: "Yiyi is quite well-behaved..."
Su Ruiyi: "Do you men all like women who are particularly obedient?"
z: "I don't know what my brother likes, but I like gentle ones."
Ou Yunchen: "I also..."
Ou Yunchen: "Ouch..."
Su Ruiyi pinched him again.
Ou Yunchen: "I like you the way you are..."
