Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

This Saturday was a rare sunny day.

The weather has been quite friendly lately, with warm and pleasant days on weekends.

Wen Yiheng drove to Chen Yan's building early, and Chen Yan appeared shortly afterward.

Chen Yan had clearly prepared carefully, wearing a brand-new smoky gray overcoat that accentuated his tall and slender figure.

Upon seeing Wen Yiheng's car, he smiled and jogged over.

"Senior, have you been waiting long?"

Chen Yan sat in the passenger seat, his fingers unconsciously adjusting the hem of his coat.

Wen Yiheng noticed his nervousness and shyness, but simply smiled gently and said, "It's just on the way, don't be shy."

Chen Yan was indeed extremely nervous, and his palms were sweating.

Last time, his family told him that they had introduced him to a blind date, and that the other person was a very good catch, so they told him to take it seriously.

He refused without even thinking: "What era are we living in? Why are they still doing this kind of arranged thing? I'd rather die than go!"

Then, his mother continued, "I heard he also graduated from your medical school, and now he owns his own private hospital. He's young and successful, his name is... Wen Yiheng?"

He was stunned for a moment.

Wen Yiheng, he's a legendary senior who's been talked about by word of mouth for many years in their major.

He graduated with perfect grades in his undergraduate studies, published numerous papers, went abroad for further studies, and became a professor at a young age after returning to China. Later, he started his own business, Fuya, which is now a benchmark in the industry.

The person I could only look up to back then is now connected to me.

He agreed to the blind date almost immediately.

Everything went smoothly, and they had a pleasant conversation at the Japanese restaurant.

The senior was gentler and more refreshing than he had imagined. He could hardly believe that he was really on a date with Wen Yiheng...

What he found even more unbelievable was that his senior would ask him out again.

He glanced furtively at the profile of the person next to him, finally mustering his courage to speak: "Senior, actually this isn't the first time we've met. I took your elective class back in school, and I always sat in the front row..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yiheng simply smiled politely: "Really? That's quite a coincidence."

His mind was clearly not on this long-standing teacher-student relationship.

He paused, then casually steered the conversation toward something he was truly concerned about: "By the way, last time you mentioned running into a patient at a Japanese restaurant?"

Chen Yan was taken aback by the abrupt turn of events and asked, "Oh, she's not exactly a patient... it's his mother who's hospitalized in our hospital, and Director Wang is the attending physician."

"Oh? What's the situation with his mother?"

Wen Yiheng's tone remained casual, but her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly.

"It's a rare disease affecting the immune system, which is quite troublesome."

When Chen Yan spoke about his professional field, his tone became more serious. "I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy, but the results... aren't very optimistic. The treatment has cost a lot, and it seems like the house has been mortgaged as well."

Wen Yiheng's eyes flickered slightly.

"Has it already started chemotherapy? Is there absolutely no hope?"

Chen Yan's eyes held a complex expression. He recalled the Omega at the Japanese restaurant; she was undeniably beautiful, even after just one glance. Could it be...?

This thought is like a tiny thorn.

Chen Yan hesitated before speaking, "Senior, do you...know each other?"

Wen Yiheng turned her face to him and gave him a flawless smile: "He's my friend. I just wanted to ask a few more questions after you mentioned him."

Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued answering his senior's question, "Actually, it's not entirely hopeless. Professor Wang went to Europe last month to attend an academic conference and heard that there's a new treatment there that's still in the clinical trial stage, but..."

He shook his head and sighed, "The cost is astronomical, and the channels are very limited, so I didn't dare mention it to the patient's family, for fear of giving them hope only to have it dashed."

Wen Yiheng's heart skipped a beat.

He also attended the meeting and even ran into Teacher Wang.

At that time, an old professor did share a treatment for an immune disease, and coincidentally, that professor was his mentor when he was on exchange in Germany.

The two had a very close personal relationship and still keep in touch from time to time.

He had only heard about it briefly at the time, never expecting that it would become a lifeline for saving Shi Ran's mother.

And this decisive bargaining chip is now in his hands.

He looked at the traffic ahead, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes behind his glasses.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of a very stylish dessert shop.

The store was having a Christmas pre-sale event, with a sign at the entrance: Couples who take photos here will receive a free Polaroid photo and a complimentary special drink.

Chen Yan mustered up his courage and asked Wen Yiheng if she wanted to join them.

Wen Yiheng readily agreed with a smile and nodded, "Sure."

The staff were very helpful in guiding them, and they were extremely satisfied with the gradually developing film, praising it highly.

"It's perfect! Can we put it in the prime spot on our couples' wall in our store?"

Chen Yan looked at the photo as if it were a dream, and nodded with a smile.

After taking her seat, Wen Yiheng seemed a little absent-minded. Chen Yan didn't notice; his attention was entirely focused on the signature cakes.

He wanted to try a bite of each one, but it was clear that one person couldn't finish them all.

Looking at his conflicted expression, Wen Yiheng suddenly remembered the past.

Shi Ran would seriously push all the blame onto him, "You want a matcha chiffon cake, right? You also want a strawberry rock salt Basque cake, right? You also want... let me see, a coconut glutinous rice mille-feuille, oh my, Wen Yiheng, why do you love sweets so much!"

Of course, when the desserts were served, Shi Ran devoured them all by herself.

His eyes softened involuntarily whenever he thought of Shi Ran.

"Senior?"

Chen Yan's voice pulled him back to reality, "Which one do you think I should order?"

Wen Yiheng snapped out of her daze: "If you like them, order them all."

Chen Yan was overjoyed and immediately called the waiter to order.

But before the snacks could be served, Wen Yiheng's phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the screen, and his expression instantly changed.

"Excuse me."

Wen Yiheng suddenly stood up. "I have some urgent business at home. Let's reschedule for another day. Sorry."

"Senior, senior?"

Chen Yan was completely dumbfounded.

Wen Yiheng, however, no longer cared about manners. She grabbed her car keys and strode away from the dessert shop.

Chen Yan was left alone, bewildered and at a loss.

The engine roared as Wen Yiheng's car lurched into the lane.

He steered the wheel with one hand and quickly brought up the navigation on the screen with the other, aiming directly at the constantly flashing red dot.

The phone emitted a mechanical alarm sound:

The observed subject had abnormal pheromone levels.

[Status determination: Estrus period.]

Location information has been updated.

Finally... he finally got to see this day.
