Chapter 18
"Speak quickly if you want to."
"I just saw something in the group chat. It said she's hooked up with the richest man in our city, and she's pregnant. She's trying to get ahead of her ex-wife, but the richest man's son fell in love with her at first sight and insisted on marrying her. He even gave up his family fortune for her and is currently arguing with his own mother..."
"Is this true? This is too ridiculous."
"I tell you, the more outrageous it is, the more true it is. She..."
"Zheng Chengfei, if you are free, go and follow more surgeries." Shi Ye walked in and threw the pen in his hand onto the table.
Seeing Shi Ye's gloomy face, Zheng Chengfei thought he was annoyed by his noise, so he had to shut up: "Oh, I know, I know. I'm so busy. Don't go to the boss and say bad things about me. I'm leaving now."
After everyone left, Zhao Jiamin looked at Shi Ye and suddenly asked, "I heard you got married."
Shi Ye was fiddling with his phone with his head down, and when he heard her speak he just said "hmm".
"Congratulations, but... I don't think I've heard that you have a girlfriend before."
"College classmate."
College classmate? She and he were from the same university, and she seemed to have never heard that he had a girlfriend.
"From your class?"
"No, from another college."
Shi Ye put away his phone and stood up, which meant that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Zhao Jiamin had no choice but to shut up. Shi Ye was just like that, extremely difficult to get along with. When she first met Shi Ye, she had fantasized whether he could be her prince charming.
As a result, the prince was not interested in anything except books and the cafeteria, and Zhao Jiamin gradually found it boring.
What’s the use of having a good appearance? The most important thing is to get along well with others.
But when she saw his circle of friends yesterday, she was suddenly overwhelmed by a huge sense of weirdness.
It turns out that he can still get along with others, but... it must be very hard for the other party. He must be very humble and flattering to be able to live under the same roof with Shi Ye.

"Take a photo of the inside of your marriage certificate and send it to me."
Jiang Zhinian was busy making lunch. After seeing the message, she returned to her room, took out the marriage certificate from her folder, took a photo and sent it to him.
"Is this okay?"
"Can."
Shi Ye saved the photo, blurred out the important information, and posted it on his Moments.
Jiang Zhinian didn't know what was going on, he just thought he was going to go through some procedures and needed proof.
"Will you come back for lunch?"
"Back, 12 o'clock."
"OK."
When Jiang Zhinian finished cooking and returned to the living room to rest, he saw the photo on his circle of friends.
A bit strange.
Shi Ye had just posted on WeChat Moments about getting married, so why did he need to send out a marriage certificate again? Furthermore, there was no text accompanying the photo, just a simple picture.
She thought about it, saved the photo that Shi Ye sent, and posted one on her Moments as well.
In the corners of the city that she didn't know, it was no exaggeration to say that everyone who had eaten this rotten melon exploded.
"Oh shit, it's actually Shi Ye, Jiang Zhinian and Shi Ye?"
"What an outrageous pairing, how did they get together?"
"No, how could Shi Ye fall for Jiang Zhinian? I don't understand."
"Jiang Zhinian is so beautiful, why not find a rich man? Shi Ye is a poor student, so it's obvious that Shi Ye is not worthy of her."
"Tsk tsk, men are all lechers."
For a time, supporters of both sides began to quarrel in the group, and some people even couldn't help but post complaints on public social platforms.
"Holy crap! My college idol and goddess are together! Can this world get any more magical?"
"Are you crazy? If the male god doesn't want to be with the goddess, then why would he want to be with me?"
"No, you don't understand. One is our school's universally recognized abstinent male god. I once suspected he was more interested in guinea pigs than women, including men. The other is our school's goddess, how should I put it, with a very bad reputation. She is very beautiful, but she is too popular and has a very complicated love history. It's really hard to explain it in a short time. In my eyes, these two people are completely unrelated. How could they possibly get married?"
"Tell me how complicated your love story is."
"At least a hundred, I guess."
"Really? I have to change it every week."
"You guys have such bad taste, you want all these girls, and you're not even afraid of getting sick."
"Watch your mouth upstairs, you're the one with the problem."
"This post fully demonstrates that a woman's reputation depends on...how many men want her but can't get her, and how many women are jealous of her."
…
After declaring his sovereignty, Shi Ye changed his clothes and prepared to go home.
In the locker room, Zheng Chengfei came closer and looked at Shi Ye with mixed feelings.
"Old Shi, I'm a mean person, you know that, so...don't bother with me?"
Shi Ye didn't say anything. He took out the hot water bottle from the closet, put it in his arms and was about to leave.
"Hey, I really didn't know you and Jiang Zhinian were married. If I knew, would I be disrespectful to my sister-in-law? Right? I'm not guilty of ignorance. I promise, next time anyone dares to say something bad about my sister-in-law, I'll be the first to rip his mouth off."
"Do many people say bad things about her?"
Zheng Chengfei scratched his head. "Well, she's beautiful, so she has a lot of gossip, but I don't know whether it's true or not. I just want to have some fun after dinner."
Shi Ye thought of the tearful little face last night and suddenly understood why she felt so aggrieved.
Like a child who didn't get any candy, he cried on his shoulder for more than half an hour. Finally, he was so tired that he fell asleep sobbing.
But in fact, how could the adult world collapse just because they don’t have candy?
Shi Ye glanced at Zheng Chengfei and said, "Less talking, more work."
…
When he entered the door, Shi Ye heard a deafening sound of vomiting.
He walked into the bathroom with lemonade and saw Jiang Zhinian lying on the sink with a depressed look on his face.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Zhinian covered his face and nodded: "I'm fine."
"Does he vomit frequently?"
"It's okay. I feel nauseous most of the time. I only vomit more violently when I smell certain smells."
Shi Ye handed her the lemonade and said, "Rinse your mouth."
Jiang Zhinian took it gratefully.
Shi Ye glanced at the one meat and two vegetable dishes on the table. They were very carefully prepared and required a lot of effort.
"Don't cook for lunch anymore. Let's go to the hospital cafeteria to eat."
His lunch break is very short, so unless he takes a special leave, he won't have time to cook.
Jiang Zhinian hesitated: "Is it convenient?"
She was afraid of disturbing him at work.
"There is no inconvenience. Employees' families enjoy the same treatment."
He often went there to eat when he was a child. The taste was good and it was relatively clean and hygienic, so it was not a problem for pregnant women to eat it.
"That's fine." Jiang Zhinian actually quite likes cooking and wants to eat at home with Shi Ye, but lately she really can't stand the smell of cooking fumes.
