"I still have work to finish, so I'm heading back first."
"I have a stomachache; I need to go to the restroom."
"I haven't had lunch; I need to grab something to eat."
...
I got into Ma Yuewen's car and looked at his luxury vehicle, exclaiming, "It really seems like the richer someone is, the stingier they become."
"What do you mean?"
"I know quite a few rich second-generation kids who indulge in all sorts of pleasures without getting involved. You're the first one I've seen who willingly plays the backup for someone else."
"..."
The expression on Ma Yuewen's face was quite interesting.
Just then, Zhao Qian suddenly appeared.
"Fangfang!" She ran up to the car holding a box of sushi.
"Hey, who is this?" Zhao Qian asked, looking at Ma Yuewen with curiosity.
"This is Ma Yuewen," I introduced briefly without elaborating on our relationship.
Ma Yuewen seemed a bit bothered; he sat up straight and looked at Zhao Qian, saying, "Hello, I'm Fangfang's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Zhao Qian's voice instantly rose several octaves.
"When did Fangfang get a new boyfriend?"
"He's not a new boyfriend," I explained. "It's fake."
"Fake?" Zhao Qian looked even more confused.
Ma Yuewen shot me a glance and said softly, "Fangfang, don't you want to be with me?"
"Weren't we supposed to agree on this?"
"I meant it's fake!"
"I don't care; if I say it's real, then it's real."
"..."
I didn't want to argue with him and turned to Zhao Qian, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense; he's just being sarcastic."
Zhao Qian nodded, "Got it."
Ma Yuewen started the car and waved goodbye to Zhao Qian: "See you."
Zhao Qian smiled and waved back at us.
Not long after we drove off, Ma Yuewen suddenly slammed on the brakes.
"What's wrong?" I looked at him in confusion.
"Fangfang, we're not just joking around," Ma Yuewen said seriously as he looked at me.
I was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
"We're in a relationship."
"......"
"So, be serious."
"......"
That night, I was taken to the hospital.
Acute gastroenteritis.
When I woke up, I saw someone sitting by my bed.
I turned on the light and found it was Ma Yuewen.
"What are you doing here?" I looked at him in surprise.
"The doctor called me, and I rushed over as soon as I could," Ma Yuewen explained.
"How could the doctor call you?"
"I called you several times on the way, but you didn't answer. I kept calling until the doctor picked up."
"......"
I took out my phone and saw that there were indeed many missed calls.
"Fangfang, you need to learn to rely on me," Ma Yuewen said as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I'll take you home."
"I don't want to go home."
"Then where do you want to go?"
"The hospital."
"Do you want to see Cui Hai?"
"......"
I took out my phone, preparing to call Cui Hai.
Suddenly, Ma Yuewen pressed down on my hand.
"Fangfang, please don't call."
For the next half month, Ma Yuewen and I dated like a normal couple.
We went to amusement parks, hiked mountains, and had candlelit dinners...
Sometimes Ma Yuewen would annoy me, but he always bought little gifts to cheer me up.
I felt like I might have really moved on from Cui Hai because when I was with Ma Yuewen, I rarely thought about Cui Hai.
Half a month later, I went on a business trip to Shanghai with a few colleagues.
That night, I was woken up by noise.
I wasn't the only one awakened; another colleague was also disturbed.
She called out due to stomach pain.
"Fangfang, can you take me to the hospital?" my colleague looked at me weakly.
"Okay." I agreed without a second thought.
On the way to the hospital, my colleague leaned against my shoulder and fell asleep. I gazed out at the night scenery, thinking that Cui Hai was working in this city, wondering what he was doing at that moment.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I helped my colleague into the emergency room.
"Doctor, she has a stomach ache; could you please take a look?"
The doctor looked up, and I suddenly realized that this person looked familiar.
"Fangfang?" The doctor called out my name.
It dawned on me that this was Cui Hai's colleague.
"Hello." I awkwardly greeted him.
"Is it another case of gastroenteritis?" the doctor asked.
"No, no, it's not me." I quickly waved my hands, "It's my colleague."
"Then come to my office later to get some medicine."
"No, no, that's not necessary." I shook my head, "I'm fine."
The doctor gave me a meaningful glance but didn't say anything further.
I assisted my colleague with the payment and looked up to see Cui Hai standing in front of me.
"You..." Cui Hai looked at me with concern, "Is it gastroenteritis again?"
"No, it's not me." I felt embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.
Cui Hai and I had already broken up; I didn't want to trouble him.
"I'm already better; it's nothing," I said before heading to pay.
Cui Hai followed me, wanting to say something, but Fang Hui suddenly walked over and said to him, "Dr. Lu, there's an emergency patient."
Cui Hai glanced at me and then turned to leave.
