Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

"Add me on WeChat? Sure, but I need to ask my wife first if she agrees. Wen Qiqi, do you agree to her adding your husband on WeChat?" His voice was calm and unhurried, yet it carried an unprecedented sense of pressure.

[Wen Qiqi.]

Wen Xi felt as if he were hallucinating, his scalp tingling from the loud noise.

She was squinting, trying to feel her pulse, when she suddenly heard He Tingchu's voice from far away in the United States.

She abruptly opened her eyes, her pupils contracting. He Tingchu stood beside her, hands on his hips, his eyes filled with a thick, gloomy darkness, looking down at her. A chilling silence fell over the room.

Wen Xi's hand was practically flung away from Lin Feng's arm.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Xi stared at him blankly.

"What, can't I be here? Or did you do something to offend me?" He Tingchu pursed his thin lips, rubbed his temples hard, and suppressed the anger that had been building up in his chest.

Judging from his tone,

Wen Xi suddenly felt as if she were a married woman caught cheating in bed, a sense of immorality.

But after thinking about it, something felt off. Why was she feeling guilty?

All she did was feel Lin Feng's pulse.

"No, why are you back?" Wen Xi's eyelashes trembled as she looked up and questioned.

"Wen Xi...you know each other?" Li Tingting's eyes were red, and she was stunned.

"A girl wants your husband's contact information. What do you think? Should I give it to her or not?" He Tingchu raised his eyes indifferently, then pulled out a chair next to her and sat down close to her, domineeringly declaring his ownership.

Even though the man's aura was excessively intimidating,

"Wen Xi, who is this?... Since you're already here, please have a seat." Guo Shan's attitude was unusually restrained and respectful, maintaining the awkward atmosphere.

Li Tingting's eyes were bloodshot. She really wanted to run away on the spot, but leaving now would feel like trying to hide something obvious.

The waiter brought over their drinks, but Li Tingting's gaze lingered on He Tingchu's incredulous face.

Wen Xi ordered lemonade. She took a sip and glanced guiltily at He Tingchu, who was sitting upright next to her.

He had clearly run over; his forehead was slightly sweaty, his breathing was a little rapid, and his complexion was rosier than usual, making him even more handsome.

Unexpectedly, after several months apart, he seemed to have become even more handsome.

She lowered her head timidly, secretly offering him a tissue, but He Tingchu didn't take it. Wen Xi simply stuffed it into his palm.

"Wipe it off, look how sweaty you are." Wen Xi whispered in his ear.

A slight softening appeared on the man's lips, but he remained unmoved, his face still stern. He glanced at her sideways, his dark eyes swirling with emotion.

"Wen Xi, aren't you going to introduce this person?" Guo Shan nudged her arm gently, startled.

"Um..." She lowered her head, her small face hidden behind the large glass of lemonade. Luckily, her face was small enough, and the glass of lemonade was huge. It was a truly embarrassing situation.

Li Tingting could barely keep her composure.

"That Tingting..." Wen Xi's voice was barely audible, his lips parted slightly.

"Is it good?" He Tingchu asked, resting his chin on his hand as he interrupted at the opportune moment.

"It's delicious, would you like to try some?" Wen Xi asked meekly, his palms sweating as he held the drink.

He grabbed the lemon juice she had drunk halfway through, bit the straw, and took two big sips. It was so damn sour; it made his tongue and his heart ache.

The man seemed to be standing under a lemon tree, getting hit all over by the lemons falling from the tree.

"Not enough? Then I'll order more so your friends can drink to their hearts' content. After all, your husband is very generous." He called over the waiter and ordered everything in the coffee shop.

The coffee shop's biggest order of the day came from Professor He's patronage.

The staff were busy as bees, and soon the table was filled with dozens of cups of various drinks and desserts... The staff were still working non-stop... They were exhausted.

Everyone fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere at the scene became incredibly awkward.

"Young man, weren't you just curious about my wife? Throw any questions at me, and I'll answer them all." He Tingchu, as expected of a professor, spoke with an air of authority, as if he were blessed. Professor He truly loved being a teacher.

The three boys present, who had just been so carefree, suddenly lost their composure and lowered their heads, looking quite bitter.

"Um...we have something to do, so we'll be going now." The three boys had never seen anything like this before, and they hurriedly got up, knocking over their chairs in the process.

The scene was quite chaotic at one point.

"Hey students, come on, finish your drinks before you leave. Which college are you all from? You didn't skip class, did you?" He Tingchu added a vicious stab to the fleeing boys.

"It's Saturday, they don't have classes today," Wen Xi blinked, disagreeing with his statement, and said casually.

"You skip class on the weekend to come to a blind date? Do you think I'm dead?" He Tingchu sneered, speaking with an air of nonchalance.

...

Wen Xi glared with her round eyes, angrily raising her gaze to meet his. Neither of them yielded to the other's gaze, secretly competing with each other, completely ignoring Li Tingting and Guo Shan beside them, utterly unaware of the occasion they were in.

The scene fell silent for a moment, until Li Tingting broke the silence with a choked-up remark.

"So, he's your boyfriend? Wen Xi... why did you lie to me? Do you even consider me your friend?" The implication was clear.

Li Tingting finally couldn't hold back anymore. She grabbed her backpack and rushed out, tears clearly welling up in her eyes.

"Tingting... Wenxi, I'll go and talk to her." Guo Shan nodded to her and hurriedly chased after her, finding an excuse to do so.

Very well, He Tingchu's sudden appearance scared everyone away.

Wen Xi stood up blankly. She bit her lip, remained silent, and her expression didn't look good.

She was filled with incredible excitement the moment she saw him appear, but now that he's made such a mess of things, she can't be happy at all. Humph.

He Tingchu instinctively felt that he had made a big fuss this time. He grabbed the glass of lemonade that Wen Xi had drunk from and obediently drank the water without making a sound.

"Professor He, did you have fun?" Wen Xi turned around and glared at her.

Then, without saying a word, she took her books and left the coffee shop.

Right now, she couldn't care less about He Tingchu's feelings; what she felt guilty about was that she had deceived Li Tingting, and she had to hurry back and explain.

Indeed, once you tell a lie, you have to tell countless more to cover it up.

She felt extremely guilty, but eventually the truth came out.

She stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, ready to call a taxi, but after searching through her backpack, she couldn't find her phone, and she didn't have a single penny of cash on her.

My roommates have left too.

Wen Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back. Her small, aloof figure stood before He Tingchu, and she said sternly,

"He Tingchu, give me your phone."

"?..." He Tingchu looked bewildered. Did they want to check his phone?

He hesitated for a moment, then obediently handed over his phone.

"Password..." Wen Xi said impatiently.

"160830" He Tingchu blurted out, his palms sweating. Luckily, there was nothing on his phone.

Unexpectedly, his wife wanted to check his phone.

Wait, that's not right. She was the one who touched the handsome guy's hand behind his back, so why is he feeling guilty?

This isn't right. I dialed the number.

"Hello, did you find my phone? Okay... I'll come find you at the library entrance, thanks." Wen Xi hung up the phone and handed it to him.

It turned out she had lost her phone.

Wasn't the guy who just answered the phone this muscular man?

"Um, I..." He Tingchu suddenly fell silent, many words stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single one.

"He Tingchu, come back to school with me," Wen Xi instructed.

"Okay." He Tingchu obediently got up and pushed open the door.

"Sir, your milk tea and dessert haven't been served yet..." the waiter called out to him hurriedly.

"Give this to the guests present."

Professor He will be paying for everything today.

-

He Tingchu took a taxi, and the two sat in the back. Wen Xi's eyes were cold, and he still looked furious.

She just wanted to find her phone as soon as possible, then buy a big bag of snacks to appease Li Tingting.

It was indeed her fault first.

For the past two months, how could she not know that Tingting had been inquiring about the man next to her?

Even though she knew everything, she still chose to keep it a secret.

It's all He Tingchu's fault!

This damn man just happens to have a face that can charm everyone.

I wonder what his fatal attraction is?

Inside the car, the two people were each trapped in their own corner, while the three seats in the back seemed separated by a vast galaxy.

The two remained silent, creating a suffocating atmosphere. They were clearly not familiar with each other, not at all.

Wen Xi glanced sideways, and the two exchanged a look before quickly looking away. Wen Xi mustered her courage and asked the question.

"Didn't we agree to keep our marriage a secret? Why did you tell my roommate that you're my...?"

husband.

"I promised you I wouldn't go public, but that doesn't mean you can cheat on me, right?" He Tingchu glanced at her sideways.

He has hated green since he was a child, he hates it terribly.

"Speak properly to me. What do you mean by 'green hat'? I was just examining him and taking his pulse. Lin Feng said his heart rate has been very fast after exercising lately... I was just checking his body... I'm a doctor."

Her eyes were so clear and bright that it made him seem like a petty person.

"He Tingchu, I'm about to start my residency training. My profession is a doctor. I have to examine patients, regardless of gender. Even if it's a male's genitals, if the condition requires it, I will not hesitate to take off his pants and make him lie down... Can you accept that level of indignation?" Wen Xi readily agreed, speaking with righteous indignation.

Damn, that's too blunt. His heart can't take it. He feels so choked up.

The driver overheard something and couldn't help but laugh out loud. It seemed her husband was jealous because of his wife's profession.

"Hey handsome, I have to say something for the young lady. We men need to be more magnanimous sometimes. Your wife is a doctor, so this is unavoidable... Don't be jealous. Doctors are supposed to have a benevolent heart." The driver's hearty laughter rang out.
