If flowers bloom, youth will naturally follow.

"Jiang Ziyi's younger brother?" As a former homeroom teacher, Zhao Shirong could vaguely sense something amiss when she saw Xiao Pang's frivolous behavior.

"You've met him, haven't you? The guy who took me back to Shijiazhuang last time, the one who was with Sister Yiyi and Sister Xiaoyu," Langpang reminded him.

"Oh, I didn't notice. I was only thinking about you last time." It seems there really is such a person, but this person didn't seem to say anything. I was so busy thanking Jiang Ziyi and Dun Chenyu that I didn't pay attention to what this person looked like.

Qiao Tianyi has already graduated and seamlessly received his admission notice from Peking University. Xiao Pang had already found out that he was in Baoding when he teased him yesterday, so he plans to give him a surprise today.

"Are you at the hospital? What's wrong? Wait a moment, I'll be there soon," Qiao Tianyi replied quickly.

It turns out that no matter how tough a straight man you are, once you're hit by Cupid's arrow, he'll become as soft as iron. Qiao Tianyi used to be such a cool guy, it was normal for him not to reply to messages on his phone for a whole day. But ever since he got hooked up with Xiao Pang, he's been more quick to react than Xiao Yanzi. Sometimes Xiao Yanzi would ignore Xiao Pang when she was angry, but Qiao Tianyi has never been angry.

fifteen minutes……

half an hour……

One hour……

Little Fatty gave Zhao Shirong an awkward smile: "Sis, let's go eat first. Qiao Tianyi is a bookworm, he might be writing a program right now. He's so focused on it that even our parents wouldn't recognize him."

"Even if your parents don't acknowledge you, they can't disown your girlfriend," Zhao Shirong said with a smile, her eyes full of laughter. "You little rascal, you're actually dating?! How have I raised you?"

"(*n_n*) Hehe, keep it low-key, we're not officially dating yet. Sis, I won't neglect my studies, just wait and see my final grades. He's doing his master's at Peking University, and I'm going to get into Peking University too," Little Fatty wasn't shy at all, his heart was melting with sweetness.

"Good luck then," Zhao Shirong suddenly thought of a question: "But Qiao Tianyi... he's probably a rich second-generation, right? Would he even be interested in you?"

"Well, but Tianyi is different from other rich kids. You'll see when you see him," the chubby boy said confidently.

……

"Hehe, I hope he's really as good as you say, otherwise I'll have to break them up," Zhao Shirong could tell that Xiao Pang really liked Qiao Tianyi, and he kept talking about it even while eating.

"No way, I, Xia Xia, am known as the sharp-eyed little Zhuge Liang. I can't misjudge people," Little Fatty said confidently.

"Hehe, I don't know who it is, sis, Lu Zhangke confessed to me, and I didn't reject him," Zhao Shirong imitated Xiao Pang's voice in a high-pitched tone.

"Shut up! Keep this to yourself and never mention it again in your life," the scheming fat man was startled and quickly looked around, afraid of seeing Qiao Tianyi standing to the side with a livid face.

"Alright, alright, look how scared he is," Zhao Shirong said dismissively, laughing heartily.

"I know, I've always had a pair of invisible wings," Little Fatty's phone rang. "Hey? It's Tianyi!"

Little Fatty was worried about his phone, so he didn't let it ring for a second. He answered the call and instantly became a fangirl: "Hello? Brother Tianyi."

……

Zhao Shirong burst out laughing at Xiao Pang's lovestruck expression, sighing inwardly at how much spring-like sentimentality this young girl had, and how clueless she was.

However, when Zhao Shirong saw Qiao Tianyi pacing anxiously at the door of room 9527 again, she was still pleasantly surprised, even though she was already married and had a child.

When Xiao Pang first saw Qiao Tianyi, all he could think was, "Holy crap, my Qiao Qiao is here! She's so beautiful, I love her!" Zhao Shirong, being a cultured woman, was completely absorbed in Qiao Tianyi's beauty, only noticing how handsome the young man was when she saw him. Her mind immediately began to replay the poem: "Look at the bend of the Qi River, the green bamboos are lush and green. There is a gentleman of noble character, his ears adorned with jade ornaments, his cap gleaming like stars. So dignified and imposing, so bright and dazzling. Such a gentleman, I can never forget him."

When Qiao Tianyi saw the chubby boy in his hospital gown, she finally lost her composure. She took two steps forward, put her hands on the chubby boy's shoulders, her brows furrowed, and her pretty face full of concern: "Little Bao, what's wrong? Why are you in the hospital?"

Zhao Shirong was genuinely happy for Xiao Pang; this young man truly liked her.
