"I'm pursuing your sister again."
Qi Xiaoyan's voice sounded no different from when he was giving the speech, but it really surprised Yang Ming. He looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at one of the world's ten wonders and said, "Pursuing my sister? People with your level of intelligence, aren't they all uninterested in worldly romance?"
"That's a misunderstanding people have about us. You'll understand when you reach that level."
A certain person: "..."
Is it okay for you to talk to me like this while you're pursuing my sister?
"Give my regards to my parents," Qi Xiaoyan said, turning and getting into his car. Yang Ming stood there watching his car drive away, twitching her lips and muttering, "They're my parents, not yours. You're shameless."
He pulled out his phone and eagerly sent a text message to Yang's mother: "Your Majesty, my ex-brother-in-law says he's pursuing my sister again!"
Yang's mother quickly responded: "Who told you that? Does 'pursuing them again' mean they want to remarry?"
Yang Ming's thumb moved quickly across the screen: "My ex-brother-in-law said it himself, so it must mean he wants to remarry. He's always wearing his wedding ring with my sister."
This time, Yang's mother didn't send a text message, because she directly called her daughter: "Weiwei, I heard from Ming'er that Qi Xiaoyan is pursuing you again, is that true?"
Yang Wei's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. How did Yang Ming know? Did he graduate from the CIA? "Yes, it is true..."
Upon hearing this, Yang's mother pressed further, "What do you two mean now? Are you planning to remarry?"
"Hmm, more or less..."
"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking. You get married and divorced not long after, and then remarry a couple of days after the divorce. The Civil Affairs Bureau doesn't need you to work so hard to generate revenue for it."
Yang Wei: "..."
"If you really want to remarry, you need to think it through this time. Don't just get divorced so easily again. Also, if he comes to our house, your father will definitely beat him up again."
Yang Wei: "..."
Mrs. Yang sighed, "In that case, I'll turn down those blind dates that are going to set you up with."
"Mom, I don't think I've ever agreed to that..." Yang Wei said helplessly.
Mrs. Yang said, "When you've made up your mind, come back and have a meal with Qi Xiaoyan. Your dad might not agree, but he can't escape a beating."
After speaking, Yang's mother hung up the phone, leaving Yang Wei somewhat bewildered, holding her phone. She quickly dialed Yang Ming's number: "Hey, Yang Ming! Who told you Qi Xiaoyan is pursuing me?"
Yang Ming said, "He said it himself. He came to our school to give a lecture today. I ran into him, and he even asked me to say hello to his parents for him—"
Yang Wei: "..."
"Oh, you didn't know, did you? He always carries your wedding rings with him—"
Do you have to speak in such a flirtatious tone?
She pursed her lips and hung up the phone. While she was still trying to figure out how to handle the situation, Jian Shuang called again: "Weiwei'er, come to Imperial University right now! Immediately!"
Jian Shuang's tone was urgent and excited. Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding: "What is it?"
"Mo Tianwang is making a cameo appearance in 'Youthful Days'! There are already so many people gathered here to watch!" Jian Shuang's words were somewhat incoherent. "He plays the university professor that the female lead once had a crush on. The authorities have been keeping this news a secret to avoid attracting attention, but as soon as he appeared at Imperial University, the students went crazy! I'm almost going crazy too! It's all over Weibo. Anyway, you have to come over quickly!"
Yang Wei was stunned for a long time before asking a pointless question: "Why did he make a cameo appearance in this movie?"
"Kai Huang invested in 'Youthful Days,' so it's not surprising that he'd have a cameo. Besides, the male and female leads in this movie are both Kai Huang's, so they're practically his juniors." Jian Shuang spoke quickly. "That's not the point right now! If you hadn't come, he would have left. He's been your idol since high school!"
Yang Wei finally came to her senses. She could hardly believe that she had the opportunity to get so close to her idol. In the past, when she attended Mo Tianwang's concerts, she could only get a very far back corner seat.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there!" She hung up the phone excitedly, not even bothering to dress up, grabbed her handbag from the sofa and went out. It wasn't until she got into a taxi that her wildly beating heart calmed down a bit.
She took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo. Sure enough, the message had gone viral, and photos taken secretly by students had surfaced. The photos weren't very clear, but the person in the suit was undoubtedly Mo Zhen.
According to the Weibo post, the character played by Mo Tianwang only appears in the female lead's memories, with only a few scenes, but he is an unmissable highlight of the movie.
Many locals from City A on Weibo expressed their intention to rush to Imperial University to see Mo Tianwang. Yang Wei became vaguely worried, wondering if a stampede would occur. She was different now; she was pregnant and couldn't squeeze in with the crowd.
She felt a little helpless at this thought, and decided that for safety's sake, she would just take a look from afar. Another problem was whether she would run into Song Jin later; she was the female lead in the movie… It was for this reason that she had always felt a physical aversion to this film.
But Mo Tianwang just happened to make a cameo appearance in this film. Yang Wei curled her lips and thought that Song Jin must have saved 250 universes in his past life.
When she arrived at Imperial University, the school gate was already under lockdown. There were many people outside the gate, all of whom were being kept out by security guards. The main gate was also tightly closed, with only a small door on the side that could allow one person to pass through, and only students with student IDs could enter or exit.
Yang Wei's eyes twitched. She remembered that the school had used this policy before when they prevented students from going out to march or demonstrate. She stood with a group of people, unsure how to blend in, when she heard Qi Xiaoyan's voice beside her: "Yang Wei? What are you doing here?"
The voice sounded like heavenly music to Yang Wei's ears; she was certain it was reinforcements sent by the monkey. She turned around and enthusiastically hugged Qi Xiaoyan's arm: "Mo Tianwang is filming inside, they won't let me in!"
Qi Xiaoyan's lips twitched slightly, then she withdrew her hand: "Oh." No wonder his car couldn't drive in either.
Seeing that he was about to leave after shaking her off, Yang Wei quickly chased after him, saying, "Juanjuan, take me inside with you!"
Qi Xiaoyan curled the corners of her lips: "Hehe."
The security guard at the entrance naturally recognized Qi Xiaoyan and automatically let him through when he arrived. Yang Wei clung tightly to his back, trying to sneak in, but was stopped by the guard: "What are you doing? Do you have a student ID?"
Yang Wei looked at him sincerely: "Are other schools okay?"
security guard:"……"
The security guard stood in her way like a mountain. Through the gaps in the iron bars, she watched Qi Xiaoyan's retreating figure and called out sadly, "Juanjuan."
Qi Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then turned back: "These are my students; they forgot their student IDs."
With Professor Qi vouching for her, the security guards naturally didn't give Yang Wei any further trouble. Seeing this, the others waiting at the door gazed affectionately at Professor Qi and said with a smile, "Professor, I was also your student! Don't you remember me!"
Qi Xiaoyan: "..."
After Yang Wei followed Qi Xiaoyan into the school gate, she was as happy as a colorful alpaca running across a grassland. Walking beside her, Qi Xiaoyan sneered, "Seeing Mo Zhen makes you so happy?"
"Of course! I've liked him since high school!"
"hehe."
Yang Wei looked at his profile and couldn't help but chuckle. She unconsciously took his arm and said, "Actually, I've never understood why anyone would be jealous of a celebrity?"
Qi Xiaoyan turned her head to look at her: "Then who was it that thought I was Song Jin's fan and kept badmouthing her in front of me?"
Yang Wei puffed out her cheeks and glanced to the side.
After walking for a while, Qi asked with a smile, "Do you know where we're filming?"
"Hmm..." Yang Wei looked around. This school was really big. "I'll just go wherever there are lots of people."
Qi Xiaoyan thought for a moment and then took her to a teaching building. Sure enough, the building was surrounded by people, separated by a yellow police tape.
The first floor was a lecture hall, where students usually had general classes. Although it was quite far away, Yang Wei, relying on her strong contact lenses, could see Mo Zhen standing on the podium through the window. The classroom was full of students, but she spotted Song Jin near the podium almost immediately.
She scoffed and subconsciously followed Mo Zhen's movement, taking a few steps to the side. Just as she was about to call Jian Shuang to ask where she was, she was bumped by someone in front of her and stumbled back two steps. Unexpectedly, there was a step behind her, and Yang Wei lost her footing and fell down.
Author's Note: Don't worry everyone, Professor Qi will know about Little Baozi's existence tomorrow—to be shy, today is actually my birthday (* /ω＼*). It seems that ever since my age started in 2, I haven't looked forward to my birthday anymore, lol. Thinking back, I used to really like a celebrity, to the point of shamelessly calling him "husband"... I also used to love anime, and even joined the anime club in college, spending all my scholarship money on cosplay outfits. I even had the courage to participate in a Western anime competition, although I was eliminated in the first round... Now, I no longer feel that same excitement for my former favorite celebrities. I haven't watched anime in a very long time, and even the anime magazines I used to buy every single issue of are no longer in print. Many things I once loved with all my passion have unknowingly faded away. Time really waits for no one ○|￣|_ But still, happy birthday to myself, and I wish the girl who is still growing a happy and fulfilling life :) Special thanks to: lestat, the little angel who threw a landmine of a grapefruit. A little angel threw a landmine. In exchange for protecting innocence for a lifetime, another little angel threw a landmine. Thank you all! (づ￣3￣)づ╭?——

The steps weren't high, and when Yang Wei landed, she instinctively braced herself with her hand to cushion the impact.
But the fall startled her quite a bit, and the sudden pain in her abdomen made her turn pale. Seeing her fall, Qi Xiaoyan quickly came over: "Baby, are you alright?"
He crouched down, trying to help her up from the ground, but Yang Wei grabbed his arm, her slender eyebrows furrowing together: "It hurts."
Seeing her pale face, Qi Xiaoyan also became anxious: "Where does it hurt?"
“My belly…” Yang Wei looked up at him, gripping his arm even tighter as if she were afraid of something, “Juanjuan, the baby…”
Qi Xiaoyan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What child?"
His sudden coldness startled Yang Wei. She panicked, tears welling up in her eyes: "Juanjuan, I'm sorry, I haven't told you yet, I'm pregnant."
Qi Xiaoyan tightened his grip on her hand, his breath seeming to catch in his throat. Several classmates nearby, seeing someone fall, rushed over. Qi Xiaoyan took a deep breath, swept Yang Wei up from the ground in his arms, and shouted to the surrounding students, "Make way!"
The students were stunned by the shout; they had never seen Professor Qi so furious before. They made way for him, and Qi Xiaoyan, carrying Yang Wei, quickly walked out.
Yang Wei leaned against Qi Xiaoyan's chest, listening to his heart pounding, but she couldn't help feeling scared: "Juanjuan, will the baby be alright?"
"It'll be alright, don't be afraid." He kissed Yang Wei's forehead reassuringly. She wasn't bleeding, so it shouldn't be too serious.
When he put Yang Wei in the car, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead. He wiped her forehead and carefully fastened her seatbelt. Although Qi Xiaoyan was extremely anxious at the moment, he didn't dare to drive too fast. He glanced at Yang Wei beside him and gently held her hand at her side: "Baby, don't be afraid, it's okay."
"Mmm..." Yang Wei's voice was weak from the stomach pain. She turned her head to look at Qi Xiaoyan, and her nose began to sting again. "I'm sorry, Juanjuan, I should have told you sooner..."
Qi Xiaoyan slowly tightened his fingers, interlocking them with hers: "Don't talk."
Yang Wei sniffed and remained silent. Upon arriving at the hospital, Qi Xiaoyan quickly parked the car, carried her, and rushed to the emergency room. A nurse in the upstairs corridor, seeing him rushing over, hurried up to assist him: "What happened to her?"
"I just fell and tripped; it might have affected the baby."
A miscarriage scare can be serious or minor. The nurse carried Yang Wei into the ward with him, then drew the curtain and told him to wait outside. Soon another nurse came with a doctor. The doctor looked very young, with a low ponytail and frameless glasses. The two of them went behind the curtain and then remained silent.
Qi Xiaoyan stood alone outside the ward, as if every nerve in his body was on edge. He stared intently at the dark blue curtain, and after what seemed like an eternity, the curtain was finally pulled open, and a doctor came out: "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Qi Xiaoyan's lips twitched, but in the end she simply nodded.
The doctor said, "Don't worry, there are no signs of miscarriage. She's been given an injection and her condition has stabilized. Let her rest a little longer."
Qi Xiaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the fists clenched at her sides gradually relaxed: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. The early stages of pregnancy are the most dangerous, so don't be so careless again. Also, try to let her rest more and keep her in a relaxed and happy mood." After saying that, the doctor took two steps forward and then turned back. "Oh, and don't get angry with pregnant women."
Qi Xiaoyan responded and, after the doctor had walked away, took a deep breath and stepped into the ward.
Yang Wei lay in bed, her face still somewhat pale. Qi Xiaoyan sat down beside her and gently stroked her face. Yang Wei opened her eyes and looked at him, seemingly at a loss. Qi Xiaoyan withdrew his hand, looked at her, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Yang Wei shook her head, seemingly wanting to say something, but unable to speak. Qi Xiaoyan continued to look at her, his voice very soft: "Yang Wei, what do you mean by hiding such a big thing as your pregnancy from me? Are you planning to secretly give birth to the child alone? Or will you abort it?"
"No," Yang Wei said anxiously. "I didn't mean to keep it from you forever. I just wanted to give everyone a little more time. The doctor said I need to come to the hospital for a check-up next month, and I originally wanted to..."
Before Yang Wei could finish speaking, Qi Xiaoyan bent down and kissed her lips. His kiss was so gentle and precious, as if he were kissing a rare treasure. For some reason, Yang Wei's nose started to sting again. She turned her head away, avoiding Qi Xiaoyan's kiss: "This is a hospital."
Qi Xiaoyan buried her head in the crook of her neck and gently pulled her into her arms: "Baby, you almost scared me to death just now..."
Yang Wei pursed her lips, wrapped her arms around his waist, and asked, "Juanjuan, you're having a baby now, are you happy?"
Qi Xiaoyan's head was still buried in the crook of her neck. She couldn't see his expression, but she could hear the rare smile in his voice: "Happy, very happy."
Yang Wei smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and remained silent. Qi Xiaoyan kissed her cheek and said softly, "The doctor said you need to rest more. We'll leave after you've woken up."
Yang Wei slept for another hour or so at the hospital before Qi Xiaoyan carried her away. It was already afternoon, and neither of them had eaten yet. Qi Xiaoyan helped her fasten her seatbelt and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Yang Wei nodded: "Hungry."
Not wanting Yang Wei to eat out, Qi Xiaoyan drove her home and cooked for her himself. After letting Yang Wei rest in bed, Qi Xiaoyan stood to the side and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Hmm..." Yang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, sweet and sour pork, and a tomato soup."
