A "good night" made Su Xianyi lose sleep completely…
At midnight, she sent a message to her good friend. Unexpectedly, the other party was still awake and called her directly. Su Xianyi cleared her throat. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm preparing the powerpoint for my thesis defense. As for you, you said you were going on a blind date, but there was no news for a whole day. Was he handsome? Do you like him?"
"No, I didn't."
"Then why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you thinking about?"
"I like his uncle."
After two seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, she suddenly exploded. "Su Xianyi, I knew you were someone who could do great things."
"..."
"I've been obsessed with uncle-trope books recently. Does his uncle exude the charm of a mature man? Uncle is good, uncle is wonderful, mature, forbearing, easy to push down, experienced, and alluring... Nice."
Su Xianyi had a terrible headache. Where did she learn these things? She interrupted,
"His uncle is Lu Shiyuan."
"?" The other party was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Your first love?"
"Yes." Su Xianyi sighed and told her everything that happened today.
The other party analyzed seriously. "That's why you didn't sleep so late. Don't tell me that you're thinking of jumping over the window to the next room while he's asleep to launch a midnight sneak attack and pounce on him."
"I wasn't!" Su Xianyi broke down. What was she thinking?
"I think we can try."
"..."
"It's been so many years. It's amazing to still see him. Is he married? Does he have a girlfriend? Don't tell me he even has a child…"
Su Xianyi was stunned by this question. She was immersed in the shock and joy of reuniting with Lu Shiyuan, but she ignored the most important thing:
Was he still single?
She couldn't ask him about this matter, let alone ask the Wei family. She completely lost sleep that night.
In her daze, she dreamed of Lu Shiyuan from a few years ago...
Dressed in fresh clothes and riding a horse, he was in high spirits, and his entire body exuded an unbridled wildness.
It was a far cry from the refined appearance of the yuppie now.
She even dreamed that she had turned into a cat, rubbing herself against his chest and meowing…

The next day, Su Xianyi was woken up by the sound of the window next door closing.
When she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. She realized that she had not drawn the curtains last night. The strong sunlight shone into the bedroom, and it was a little dazzling. She touched the phone on her bed and took a look.
There were a few missed calls from her father, Su Yongcheng, and Lu Ruiqin.
Lu Ruiqin felt that she had not treated her well yesterday and wanted to make up for it by inviting her over.
"Auntie, I just moved to a new house and am a little busy. Why don't I visit you in two days?" Su Xianyi declined her invitation.
"That's fine too. If you need any help, let me know at any time."
"Thank you. Sorry to make you worry."
Lu Ruiqin hung up the phone and couldn't help but sigh. Wei Yu'an frowned. "Mom, I don't like her. Don't waste your effort."
Lu Ruiqin was furious when she heard this. "Do you really think you're a hot item? Didn't you understand what she said at that time? She didn't like you at all!"
"If she doesn't like me, then why did she go yesterday?"
"I realized that you've lost your brain when you're in love. You and Ding Jiaqi are quite compatible. One has no brain, and the other is crazy."
Wei Yu'an choked until his face turned green.
Lu Ruiqin continued. "She went because she knew the big picture and couldn't reject me. If her mother knew that her daughter had been wronged, she would definitely demand an explanation from me. Just based on what you did, it's not too much to apologize to her, right?"
"You saw your uncle's attitude yesterday. If you don't handle this matter well, it's hard to say what will happen to our Wei family in the future."
At the mention of Lu Shiyuan, Wei Yu'an became serious. "It's usually difficult to see him. Why did he suddenly appear yesterday…"
Lu Ruiqin saw that he was finally serious and continued,
"I don't need to say much about the reason why our family has developed to this extent over the years. Although he's a doctor, you know how much power he has in the Lu family. Don't let him think that you're love-addled."
Wei Yu'an nodded. He knew which was more important, love or future.

Dijing Gaden.
Lu Shiyuan was on leave today, and his repair person had already sealed the windows. Little Gutsy lay in his arms and seemed to have a lot of opinions about sealing the windows. It stood by the window and meowed non-stop.
"Do you really want to climb through the window and go next door?" Lu Shiyuan said with a smile.
"Meow!" Little Gutsy paced back and forth by the window.
It seemed that something outside had attracted it, and it was looking for an opening to get out.
Lu Shiyuan walked over and picked Little Gutsy up from the ground. Only then did he notice that Su Xianyi was downstairs. She had probably just returned from shopping.
"Like her?" Lu Shiyuan stroked the cat.
"Meow."
"We don't have to climb through the window to go to her house. We can use the front door in the future, or…" Lu Shiyuan stared at the small figure downstairs. "Have her come over."
Little Gutsy seemed to agree with this statement and burrowed into his arms.
..
Su Xianyi, on the other hand, was in a daze all day because of insomnia.
She went to the supermarket to buy the daily necessities that she lacked. During this time, she either yawned or sneezed non-stop. Could it be that she had caught a cold?
After muddle-headedly passing the day, she realized that there were some red spots on her neck at night.
She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after waking up, the red spots didn't disappear. Instead, there were more of them. Even her arms were a little itchy.
After she sneezed again, she frowned slightly.
She recalled what Lu Shiyuan had said in the car earlier. Sycamore tree catkins?
Could it be that she was allergic?
Su Xianyi wasn't sure what caused the rashes, so she didn't dare to take the medicine. Hesitating, she went to the nearest hospital the next afternoon for a consultation with the dermatology department.
She was wearing a hat and a mask, and her protection was tight.
The nearest one to Dijing Garden was the First People's Hospital of the city.
This hospital was famous for its cancer treatment. People from all over the country came to visit every day. It was almost time to get off work, so there were not many people.
Su Xianyi followed the instructions and found a department.
There were not many people who took the elevator. Everyone was used to coming to see a doctor early in the morning.
However, as soon as the elevator door opened, Su Xianyi saw a familiar figure. He was wearing a mask, revealing half of his high nose bridge. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyebrows were long and narrow, slightly raised.
The white coat was more fitted, making him look even colder and more indifferent.
At this time, he also noticed Su Xianyi. Although she was wearing a hat and a mask today, her eyes were particularly eye-catching.
It seemed to contain fine light, gentle and beautiful.
Lu Shiyuan's gaze fell on the registration form in her hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
There was a man and a woman beside him. They were wearing white coats and were not wearing masks. When they saw Lu Shiyuan staring at the girl outside the elevator, the female doctor's voice was gentle. "Someone familiar?"
"Yes." Lu Shiyuan nodded.
The male doctor laughed. "We've known each other for so many years. We're always inseparable at work. I've never seen you say that you're close to any young lady. This is…"
Su Xianyi pursed her lips, and her voice came through the mask. She called out in a muffled voice. "Uncle."
The two of them were stunned.
"I didn't expect you to have such an old niece." The female doctor smiled and looked at Lu Shiyuan.
It was impossible to hide the look in your eyes when you liked someone. A woman's intuition told Su Xianyi that this female doctor liked Lu Shiyuan. She then thought of her good friend's words,
Was he still single?
