In just one week, Wutiao Li ran into him three times.
The first time was at dinner with friends. Dressed in black from head to toe, with a scar on his face, he was mistaken for a murderer.
The second time, she was taking her students on a mission when a tunnel collapsed, trapping everyone in their vehicle. Amid the noisy cries of the kindergarten children, all of them covered in injuries, he calmly fetched medicine and tended to their wounds.
The third time, in a town roaring with commotion, he stood opposite a factory dumping industrial wastewater, advocating for a cognitively impaired girl. He performed surgery and restored her health.
Not once in all three encounters did they exchange names.
She thought they would never meet again. Then, at the hotel where the auction was being held, one mistake led to her having a one-night stand with someone!!!
She closed her eyes in disbelief, lying beside a young man with two different skin tones. She desperately hoped it was all just a single woman's delusion brought on by her mother's constant urging to get married.
She stayed up all night posting, "What do I do after a one-night stand with a stranger?" Dozens of comments appeared below, none repeated.
Afraid he might cling to her, Wutiao Li decided to act as if nothing had happened. She left him a check for thirty million and ran.
A month later, staring at the pregnancy test with two lines, she shakily called the only reliable person in her family, her older brother.
"Nanxiong A-Meng, is there a chance Mom will yell me to death when she finds out?"

Bonus scene:
Teacher Wutiao was sighing again today.
Curious, the entire young detective club set out to subtly find out why their teacher looked so gloomy.
Maybe he'd been hurt in love, the young detectives thought, having seen their fair share of romantic entanglements.
They learned that their teacher was looking for someone, someone who seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace.
At last, it was time for the young detective club to spring into action. After much coaxing, they got the missing person's physical description out of Teacher Wutiao.
White hair, dark skin, and surgical stitches.
The young detectives searched and searched, but couldn't find anyone who matched the description. When they considered each feature separately, though, they managed to find three people.
The first was a long-haired young man with silver-white hair. His black clothes made the students watching him catch their breath and nearly faint on the spot.
They firmly denied that he was the person in question.
The second was the blond barista at the coffee shop they often visited. His skills were excellent, and he was gentle and handsome, the kind of man everyone adored. Unfortunately, he was single from birth, and his lover was his country.
The third was covered in surgical stitches. He let out an evil laugh whenever he saw someone, and seemed to be in wonderful mental shape.
The children firmly rejected the idea that Teacher Wutiao, who was always gentle, kind, and beautiful, would like someone like that.
While they were pondering how to solve the case, a dark figure appeared at the school gate to pick someone up after work.
He wore black from head to toe, the front of his hair was snow white, and a long, jagged line of stitches split his face into light and shadow.
Someone really did look like that!!!
