When Luo Yuan came out of the hospital holding the B-ultrasound report, he was so excited that he was almost tempted to do a backflip on the spot. But he managed to hold back the urge, thinking about the fact that there was now a little one inside his belly.

He took out his phone and found Ye Zhe'an's number. Just as he was about to dial it, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a familiar figure approaching him. It was none other than Ye Zhe'an.

Ye Zhe'an had no classes today. Coincidentally, it was also the day when his younger brother underwent dialysis. So, he brought his brother to the hospital, never expecting to encounter Luo Yuan there.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Luo Yuan calmly hid the ultrasound report behind him. He wanted to surprise Ye Zhe'an, but not right now. "Why did you come to the hospital?"

Ye Zhe'an noticed his small movement but didn't pay it any mind. "Take me to my brother for treatment."

"Oh." Luo Yuan felt somewhat disappointed, thinking he would ask another question. He looked around and asked, "Where is your younger brother?"

"In the clinic," Ye Zhe'an said, after a moment's thought, he added, "I'm going downstairs to buy him some water."

Luo Yuan noticed the shop's vest bag in Ye Zhe'an's hand. Inside it, there was not only a bottle of mineral water, but also a loaf of bread and a pack of toilet paper.

"Is my younger brother... doing alright?"

Ye Zhe'an's younger brother has been suffering from uremia for two years. During these two years, he has been relying on dialysis twice a week to sustain his life, living a very difficult life. Even more difficult than him is Ye Zhe'an.

Ye Zhe'an is a university professor. Four years ago, he graduated from graduate school and stayed at the university to teach. He originally had a bright future, but unexpectedly, before he had worked for two years, his underage brother was diagnosed with uremia. The two brothers are orphans and have relied on each other since childhood. The responsibility of treating his brother fell on Ye Zhe'an's shoulders.

After spending all the savings at home, Ye Zhe'an worked tirelessly. As a newly graduated college teacher, his salary was low. In addition to teaching, he began tutoring to make ends meet.

Being a tutor pays well, but it's also challenging. Ye Zhe'an had no choice but to endure everything for the sake of money. However, there are some things that can't be resolved just by enduring.

There was a rebellious and precocious female student in the class who was currently in her third year of middle school. Ever since Ye Zhean appeared in her house, she had been at odds with him. She felt that Ye Zhean had stripped away her freedom, so she went out of her way to make things difficult for him. After exhausting all possible means, she went to extremes.

It was a Saturday afternoon when Ye Zhe'an arrived at her house on time. Both of the girl's parents were not home. After bringing Ye Zhe'an into her own room, she took off her shirt and threw herself onto Ye Zhe'an, shouting "Help!" and "Rape!" Unfortunately, the girl's parents returned home at that very moment.

A pot of dog blood floated leisurely and landed on Ye Zhe'an's head.

Afterwards, everything happened just like in all the novels. In order to uphold their reputation, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, the school resorted to expelling Ye Zhe'an as the final resolution.

Ye Zhe'an was the kind of person who had to support his younger brother. Losing his job and being killed is no different to him. Just as he was desperate, someone appeared and said they could help him. The condition was that he had to sign a contract with him, agreeing to be in a relationship with him for two years.

The person in question is Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan, like Ye Zhe'an, is also a tenured professor at a university. He is two years younger than Ye Zhe'an. When Ye Zhe'an had an accident, Luo Yuan had just finished his graduate studies and was in the process of completing the paperwork to stay on at the university.

The Luo family has some background. His father is a local wealthy businessman who has some intricate connections with certain government officials. Although not very influential, he has more than enough money to hire someone to thoroughly investigate a case of teenage sexual assault.

So, a week after Ye Zhe'an signed the contract, everything was clarified. Ye Zhe'an cleared his name and returned to school, living the same life of earning money to support his younger brother.

However, some things have still changed.

For example, there was now an addition to his life, Luo Yuan.

Ye Zhe'an stopped his chaotic reminiscing and nodded at Luo Yuan. "I'm fine."

Luo Yuan looked up at Ye Zhe'an, who was about half a head taller than him, hoping that he would say a few more words. Unfortunately, even this simple wish was too much to ask for. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Oh, that's good."

Afterwards, there was silence.

Ye Zhe'an spoke first, "I will go up."

Without saying another word, he ignored Luo Yuan and went straight into the room.

"I..."

Just as Luo Yuan opened his mouth, Ye Zhe'an had already disappeared without a trace. He stood there, mouth agape for a moment, before forcing a bitter smile and closing it shut.

He picked up the B-ultrasound report and looked at the bright and shiny spot on the image, feeling a mixture of sourness and sweetness in his heart.
