The parent-teacher meeting was hastily concluded because of an incident in which a parent fainted.

When Chu Fang arrived at the school, most of the parents had already left, leaving only the homeroom teacher and his two younger sisters. Upon arriving at the infirmary and seeing that Zhong Tingyue had woken up, Chu Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, teacher." Chu Fang quickly thanked the homeroom teacher. "My wife recently had her appendix removed and she's not feeling well."

What does the appendix have to do with fainting? ... The homeroom teacher couldn't figure it out, but didn't think much of it and replied, "It's nothing, I'll be going now."

Looking at his two younger sisters, Chu Fang waved his hand and said, "You two can go too. I can manage on my own. Study hard, and I'll take you two home when you have a holiday in a few days."

After the final exams, the two of them still have a few days of study left.

"Okay." Chu Yi nodded, then glanced at Zhong Tingyue, "My sister-in-law..."

"It's okay, I can handle it."

Zhou Qiong said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

Zhong Tingyue forced a smile: "It's my own problem. I haven't been feeling well lately. You two go study."

After the two left, Chu Fang seriously examined his girlfriend, frowning deeply: "Why are your lips so pale? Why don't you go to the hospital to get a checkup and have a full body examination?"

Zhong Tingyue stood up, rolled her eyes, ignored him, and walked straight outside.

After leaving the school and getting into the car, Zhong Tingyue sat in the passenger seat while Chu Fang drove home, saying as he drove, "Why did you faint? Was your appendix not removed correctly, perhaps cutting into your nervous system? Or is there something wrong with some part of your body, some unknown change..."

At this point, Chu Fang stopped: "No, I'll take you to the hospital for a full check-up first, from head to toe. If they don't find anything wrong, you can't be discharged. Or we can skip those big hospitals. I know an old doctor who's very professional. He's been practicing medicine for decades, and no matter what kind of piglet it is, he can tell what's wrong with it just by looking at it."

Zhong Tingyue tilted her head and looked at him. The latter let out a 'hee hee' laugh, while the former's expression remained unchanged, even somewhat cold.

Chu Fang suppressed his smile and drove home.

Good heavens!

Normally, if I say something like that to her, she'll definitely mess with me, but this time she didn't.

This is a big deal...

Wait... what exactly happened?

From the moment they met, he noticed that Zhong Tingyue was perfectly healthy and showed no signs of illness, but she was very anxious, as if a heavy stone was weighing on her heart.

At this moment, Chu Fang felt a sense of impending doom, like a storm brewing.

After arriving at the residential area, Zhong Tingyue took the lead and went home, while Chu Fang followed behind.

Zhong Tingyue rejected the affection of the tabby cat Lily, stood by the window, and looked down. Lily turned her gaze to Chu Fang, arched her back, and assumed a pre-attack posture: "Meow!!!"

A flash of cold light sliced ​​through the air and landed on Chu Fang's pants. He took the opportunity to grab Lily's two front legs: "Hahaha... I've told you so many times, don't grab my pants, it won't hurt. If you want to grab, grab my arms or face."

After countless battles with Lily, he had gained some experience.

"Hiss..." Just as he was feeling smug, the tabby cat took a step back and flew onto Chu Fang's arm. It grabbed his arm and made Chu Fang wince in pain. He immediately dropped the tabby cat and couldn't help but hiss in pain.

Lily landed on the ground, ready to continue its attack, but Zhong Tingyue's voice stopped it: "Lily!!!"

Zhong Tingyue went into the bedroom, took out a band-aid, and gently applied it to Chu Fang's wound.

Ouch! That hurts!

Stop pretending.

"hey-hey."

After applying the band-aid, Zhong Tingyue stood by the window again, arms crossed, while Chu Fang craned his neck and asked, "You're finally not angry with me anymore?"

"I'm not angry."

"impossible."

Zhong Tingyue said softly, "I added your aunt on WeChat today."

"I know," Chu Fang replied nonchalantly. "She wanted to know Chu Yi's grades, so I had her add you. What's wrong?"

“She said… …” Zhong Tingyue paused, opened her mouth, wanted to speak but couldn’t, finding it difficult to say, but gritted her teeth and said, “She said… …we need to give each other a big red envelope when we get married.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue blushed deeply, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"She's an elder, so we definitely have to give her a big red envelope."

"Didn't you realize what that sentence meant? Why does your aunt know about our relationship? If your aunt knows, do you have anyone else who does?"

"What?!?" Chu Fang was stunned for a moment, then brushed his hair aside and immediately understood.

Good heavens!

So the truth was exposed without the eldest aunt's knowledge, and finally the last person knew the truth.

And the tense and exciting moment finally arrived.

No... the excitement and tension I'm experiencing are not quite what I imagined.

Zhong Tingyue turned her head, her blush still lingering, and softly parted her lips: "So, elder sister already knew about our relationship?"

"Would you believe me if I said my aunt was joking?"

"I believe you!" Zhong Tingyue answered as she picked up Lily and held her in her arms, subtly fiddling with Lily's hands, which gleamed with a cold light.

The pain from earlier made Chu Fang shrink back, and he gave an embarrassed smile: "Yes, my mother already knew."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue really wanted to dig a tiny hole just big enough for her to squeeze into, a hole so small there wasn't even room to turn over, and squeeze out the feeling of utter embarrassment that made her want to pick her toes.

Seeing his girlfriend's ever-changing expression, from blushing to pale... he said, "Um... Mom didn't mean it. You didn't want her to know your identity, so she didn't expose you. It was a white lie!"

"Why didn't you tell me, Sister?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

“I see you’re calling out ‘sister, sister’ quite happily, but you don’t know how to respond right away.”

“... ..."

Now, Chu Fang has completely lost his sense of tension and excitement; his mind is racing, trying to figure out how to solve this family problem.

If not handled properly, this could be a ticking time bomb for the family.

"Sister... when did Auntie find out?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

"She guessed it the moment she got off the plane, and she was certain the first time she saw you..."

These words instantly shattered Zhong Tingyue's psychological defenses, and she headed to her bedroom, slamming the door shut.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Chu Fang scratched his face: "Fine, smash it!"

Meow! ! !

Lily the tabby cat stared intently at Chu Fang, her sharp teeth bared as she glared at him fiercely.

"It's really not my fault, I was just a bystander."

"Meow!!!"

In the blink of an eye, Lily rushed over, but there was no one left to restrain her.

Chu Fang felt helpless...
