Yan Ziruo murmured an "oh." She leaned over, patted her younger brother’s head, and declared with a look of solemn self-sacrifice, "Feifan, if we’re a perfect match, and if you ever need anything in the future..."
"You can have any of my organs."
"Because I love you more than I love myself!"
Yan Feifan rolled his eyes and huffed, "Sis, are you trying to jinx me or something?"
Yan Ziruo giggled. "Feifan, how are you not even a little touched? I’m just showing that I’m willing to sacrifice for you."
She then turned to Yu Suye and said with a serious expression, "Su Ye, you’re a doctor too, so you get it. That’s why, just in case, it’s best to have several kids."
"So... why don’t you have four."
"Besides, Feifan makes plenty of money. He can afford to raise them."
Yu Suye blushed. "Ziruo, I’m not a sow..."
Seeing the conversation getting way off track, Yan Feifan quickly interrupted, "Sis, about renovating the office, I’m leaving that up to you."
"A week should be enough, right?"
Her interest successfully diverted, Yan Ziruo asked excitedly, "Feifan, do you have any specific requirements for your office renovation?"
"That way I’ll know what to tell the renovation company."
Yan Feifan asked, puzzled, "Sis, it’s such a small job. Do we really need to hire a renovation company?"
"We just need to find a couple of guys to give the walls a coat of latex paint and then clean up a bit. That should be enough."
"It’s really just a place for me to crash temporarily during the day or overnight."
Yan Ziruo scoffed and chided him, "Feifan, you need to have a little foresight."
"Considering how tight office space is at the Affiliated Hospital, this office in the Little Red House will probably be yours for the next few years, maybe even the next ten or twenty."
"So, this office needs a proper renovation."
Yan Feifan felt his sister had a point. "Okay, Sis. In that case, I’ll let you handle the office renovation."
"Ziruo, Feifan, I can help offer suggestions too."
Yu Suye added, happy to get involved, "I handled the decoration for the apartment and the loft all by myself."
"So you could say I have plenty of experience."
Yan Ziruo waved a hand. "Alright, you’re in..."
Yan Feifan’s phone rang again.
It was a call from Tian Yu.
"Mr. Yan, I have a bunch of new questions about the practice tests you gave me. Can I come see you this weekend?"
Yan Feifan saw right through her. "You don’t want to ask questions, you’re just thinking about the camping trip, aren’t you?"
"Your high school entrance exams are in two weeks, and you still have the nerve to think about having fun!"
Tian Yu’s sheepish laughter came over the line. "Mr. Yan, I was just thinking about balancing work and play, hehe..."
"Mr. Yan, there’s one more thing. My math teacher saw the practice math test you made for me."
"He thought it was excellent and wants to go over it with the class. He asked me to get your permission first."
Yan Feifan said casually, "Your classmates aren’t really your competition, so let him use it."
"Okay, Mr. Yan!"
Tian Yu added, "Mr. Yan, I happened to notice tonight that my mom’s feet are a bit swollen."
"My mom said it’s a normal part of pregnancy, and that her feet swelled up when she was pregnant with me, too."
"That’s not a problem, is it, Mr. Yan?"
Yan Feifan said softly, "It’s common for pregnant women to experience some swelling. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry."
"However, your mom is what we consider an older mother."
"Tell you what, have your dad bring your mom to the Affiliated Hospital for a routine check-up, either tomorrow or sometime next week..."
