Bai Susu could only resign herself to sipping the porridge that Ye Fan was feeding her, feeling utterly bizarre at the bottom of her heart.
"Master, that guy is calling again." At this moment, Ye Fan pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that it was his own mother's call.
"You keep drinking, I'm going to take a call, it's my mom," Ye Fan said, taking the cell phone and walking out.
Looking at the retreating figure of Ye Fan, Bai Susu's eyes flashed with complexity. If Ye Fan's mother really came, what was she to do then?
With the way she was, wouldn't it be pretty awkward?
Forget it, forget it, let's just take it one step at a time.
Now, thinking too much was useless anyway.
"Hello, Mom, are you about to arrive?" Ye Fan asked as he answered the call.
He thought that it was about time for her to arrive.
"No, I'm stuck in traffic. I'll probably get there by evening. What exactly did you do at the hospital?" Mother Ye said, her forehead sweating with anxiety. As soon as she heard that she needed to go to the hospital, she became immensely worried.
But, from the sound of her son's voice, everything seemed normal, with no sense of anything untoward. However, she was puzzled to hear the cries of babies coming through the phone.
Had her son done something unforgivable to a girl, waiting in the hospital to take care of it!
At this thought, Mother Ye's heart started to torment her even more.
This traffic jam is at such an inconvenient time.
Still, when she left home, she brought all the money, and even packed the bank cards. She really hoped that her son hadn't stirred up some big trouble.
"If it's late, then it's late, just be safe. We'll talk about it when you get here, it's not clear over the phone," Ye Fan said.
"Alright, then. Hanging up now," Mother Ye said before she hung up the phone, feeling as if some big issue was waiting for her, something that left her a bit panicked.
Ye Fan returned to the ward and found the hesitation on Bai Susu's face amusing.
"My mom said there's a traffic jam, and that she will arrive later," Ye Fan said to Bai Susu as he tucked her in and started speaking softly.
He could unmistakably see Bai Susu let out a sigh of relief when he said this. His mother wasn't scary.
Could it be that she was nervous about meeting her future mother-in-law?
Who would have thought that the aloof campus belle Bai Susu would be nervous about meeting her mother-in-law?
But still, he had no idea how late it would be before she arrived.
Thinking this, Ye Fan called his best friend and roommate to ask him to bring his blanket to the hospital and to buy a few towels, basins, and other toiletries on his way.
Soon, Zhao Xiaotian arrived.
But when he heard the number of Ye Fan's ward and stood at the door, he was immediately dumbstruck.
What did he see?
He actually saw the cool campus belle Bai Susu lying on the hospital bed, while Ye Fan sat gently looking at her. And there, on the side of the bed, were four little, human-shaped, indistinct creatures – they must be children, right?
What was going on?
How did children suddenly come into the picture?
And not just one child—four children!
Goodness gracious!
Truly, goodness gracious!
It was over, over—his perfect goddess Bai Susu was just like that taken by Ye Fan, and to top it off, they had children!
"Xiaotian, you're here," Ye Fan turned around only when he noticed Bai Susu signaling him with her eyes, and saw Zhao Xiaotian standing at the door, looking stunned.
That's right, his best buddy was none other than Zhao Xiaotian, who was also his roommate.
"I really want to beat you to death. When did you start moving in on her? How did my goddess become like this at your hands? Ha, so much for years of brotherhood, this is how you treat me!" Zhao Xiaotian stared at Ye Fan, teeth clenched in anger.
Good grief!
Truly, good grief!
He couldn't believe it was real.
The scene before him was quite the shock.
"Xiaotian, calm down first, let me explain slowly to you," Ye Fan said, trying to soothe Zhao Xiaotian, while feeling like crying on the inside.
He knew that Zhao Xiaotian also had a crush on the school beauty. When school beauty Bai Susu took a leave of absence, this guy had even held onto him and cried his eyes out.
Now, faced with this situation, it was normal for him to be unable to accept it. Even Ye Fan himself had been shocked and disbelieving when he first found out.
He took the things from the other guy and placed them on the other empty bed before pulling Zhao Xiaotian to sit down on it.
"You have to give me a reasonable explanation today," Zhao Xiaotian said as he looked at the pale face of the girl he idolized, nearly bursting into tears.
Alas, he was too late; his perfect goddess had been turned into someone else's wife by a buddy!
Look at that. Is this something a person should do?
"Actually, it all started that night..." Ye Fan began explaining in a low voice to Zhao Xiaotian, and after half an hour...
Zhao Xiaotian still looked like he wanted to strangle Ye Fan.
This guy had made his goddess suffer so much; he really was a beast.
"Goddess, no, sister-in-law, no, that's not right, Bai the School Beauty, if this beast ever treats you badly in the future, tell me, and I'll definitely help you beat him up. I will always stand by your side," Zhao Xiaotian said, looking at Bai Susu with a face full of pity.
To think that the school beauty had become someone's wife, it was heartbreaking no matter how he looked at it.
"And you call yourself my brother," Ye Fan rolled his eyes but didn't take it to heart.
As for Bai Susu, she just nodded at Zhao Xiaotian without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you, brother? Look at what you did; I'm embarrassed for you. By the way, you broke up with Xia Lili, right? The whole school is talking about it," Zhao Xiaotian was gleefully speaking when he realized he might have misspoken. He sneaked a glance at Bai Susu and, seeing no expression of displeasure, he sighed with relief.
Thank goodness, he hadn't upset the school beauty.
"It's okay, speak your mind; your sister-in-law is generous and doesn't mind," Ye Fan said, noticing Zhao Xiaotian's glance and then gave a reassuring smile to Bai Susu.
Indeed, wasn't that the case?
There was really no romance between them.
Of course, that was because Bai Susu had no feelings for him; their relationship was entirely due to a misunderstanding.
It was the misunderstanding that had caused their paths to cross.
However, Ye Fan felt quite thankful for this misunderstanding.
Bai Susu trembled slightly upon hearing this, ignoring the thick-skinned young man.
"The whole school knows about your drama now, they saw and recorded you arguing with Xia Lili. It's all over the school forum—'scholarly hunk publicly berates a gold-digger,' and other things like 'poor boy dumped by gold-digging girl.' But brother, I saw the video of you scolding Xia Lili; you're a real man. I've long said Xia Lili wasn't any good for you, and now you know, right!" Zhao Xiaotian said in an 'I told you so' manner, looking at Ye Fan.
And speak of the devil; Xia Lili's reputation was truly ruined.
At school, her name was now synonymous with disgrace.
