Marriage at Thirty

What's it like to get matched with an old classmate?

Thanks for asking. I'm in bed, dinner's on the stove, and she's beside me reading research papers. She even complains that I don't wear enough clothes and will catch a cold. She's so clueless about romance. What should I do?

At thirty, Lin Ran went on a blind date and unexpectedly ran into an old classmate.

Fu Linling had barely crossed her path back in school. One of them was outgoing, carefree, and loved her freedom; the other was quiet and withdrawn, with almost no presence at all.

Years later, the two who had once gone in completely different directions now sat at the same table. Looking at the beautiful, aloof woman sipping tea in front of her, Lin Ran found it hard to connect her with the chubby, taciturn girl she remembered.

Even more unexpectedly, the two quickly registered their marriage.

Lin Ran: “I got married of my own free will.”

Fu Linling: “Please take good care of me, Mrs. Fu.”

One day, Lin Ran suddenly asked, “Have you really been single all these years? You never liked anyone?”

Fu Linling gazed at her without blinking. “I did. She just didn't know.”

Everyone at the hospital knew Lu Jiahe was a superb doctor. She was not only beautiful, but also gentle and patient with her patients. Recently, though, one patient had her worried sick.

This patient ignored her medical advice, didn't get enough rest, and had even sneaked out of her room several times. The ridiculous thing was that Lu Jiahe always managed to catch her.

“Ji Yin, no drinking at the bar. Come back with me.”

“Ji Yin, you're in a cast. Why are you still doing square dancing? Come back with me!”

“Ji Yin, come back with me!”

“Ji Yin!”

Ji Yin had been having a run of bad luck. First, someone maliciously targeted her and landed her in the hospital. Then, while discussing business with someone at a bar, Dr. Lu showed up out of nowhere, lectured her, and dragged her back to the hospital.

She went to visit a client and build a rapport with the client's mother, only for Dr. Lu to show up out of nowhere, lecture her, and drag her back to the hospital.

She went out to grab a bite, only for Dr. Lu to show up out of nowhere, lecture her, and drag her back to the hospital.

Ji Yin: ? This is weird.

But one day, Lu Jiahe told her, “Ji Yin, if you keep this up, I'm not going to look after you anymore.”

Ji Yin came to her senses and realized that the hospital's most beautiful flower had bloomed in her heart without her noticing.

“Dr. Lu, why don't you keep looking after me?”

Her colleagues often brought up her disobedient patient. Someone said they'd seen Ji Yin kissing someone behind a flower bed the previous night and asked if Lu Jiahe knew who it was.

Lu Jiahe: “...It was me.”
