Please Don’t Give Up On Treatment

The other party was momentarily stunned, looking at Yan Ming. “You have a sister?! I’ve never heard of this before. Aren’t all your relatives boys?”

Yan Ming glanced at Yu Tian, his expression emotionless. “Yu Tian, my ‘sister’ who I lost for over twenty years

“

He then turned and pointed to his friend, simply introducing him to Yu Tian. “Jiang Yuming, a not-so-important friend of mine

“

“Alright, I need to go on stage now.” Yan Ming was about to leave but paused briefly, looking back at Jiang Yuming. “Keep an eye on her for me

As soon as Yan Ming departed, Jiang Yuming eagerly began to gossip. He lowered his voice and asked, “Are you pursuing Yan Ming

“To be honest, many people have tried to pursue him, but most were deterred by his cold demeanor. You’re the first one he’s acknowledged as a ‘sister.’ He even bent down to tie your shoelaces! If you round it up, marriage isn’t far off! I really admire you; you’re incredibly determined! Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll be sure to notify you the moment any other suitors appear around Yan Ming

Yu Tian exchanged contact information with Jiang Yuming, then felt the need to clarify. “I’m really not pursuing Brother Yan Ming; I truly consider him like an older brother

Yu Tian briefly explained her mother’s matchmaking with Yan Ming’s father, and as soon as she finished, she noticed Jiang Yuming looking at her with an expression that screamed, “You really haven’t seen the world

“It’s perfectly normal for an older brother and sister to date; it’s only natural! Good things should stay within the family! Don’t worry; I have a progressive mindset! Since you’re not actually related by blood, even if it’s just in name, dating him would be classified as ‘pseudo-siblings.’ Though it may have a hint of taboo, sometimes, taboo holds its own allure. Don’t mind the opinions of the world; boldly pursue true love! I’m supporting you

Yu Tian was slightly bewildered by this friend of Yan Ming’s, who seemed a bit too unconventional for her taste. She curiously asked, “Did you graduate from our school? Were you classmates with Brother Yan Ming

“Yes.” Jiang Yuming smiled. “We’re also colleagues, but I just returned from studying abroad a few days ago and recently rejoined Affiliated First Hospital

Now intrigued, Yu Tian asked, “Which department are you in? Where did you study

Jiang Yuming grew a bit shy. “Orthopedics

He thoughtfully added, “I just returned from Germany

“

“If you ever have any orthopedic issues, feel free to consult me

As for any orthopedic problems? That might not be necessar

During the centennial celebration, although several successful alumni were invited to speak briefly, the focus remained on speeches from school leaders and the vision for the future of the institutio

Before long, the opening ceremony of the celebration came to a close, leaving the remaining time open for various club activities around the schoo

“It’s almost mealtime; how about we revisit the ‘Emerald Forest’ in the school cafeteria?” Jiang Yuming propose

The ‘Emerald Forest’ in question was a popular restaurant at Rong Medical University, situated on the top floor of the campus cafeteria. Utilizing its sunroom-like design, it had been decorated to resemble a small garden, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The owner also kept three lively Siamese cats. With the air conditioning on, the place felt nothing short of paradis

Yan Ming remained noncommittal, just as he was about to follow Jiang Yuming when the latter called out to Yu Tia

“Little Fish, I’m going to eat with your brother; you should join us too

Qi Sihao had many friends; before the celebration, he was pulled backstage to help and had just messaged Yu Tian to hurry over to meet hi

Yu Tian felt somewhat shy. “I have a friend who promised to have lunch together. Can we invite him over

Jiang Yuming responded enthusiastically, “Of course! You’re Yan Ming’s sister, so you’re my sister too. Your friend is my friend; after all, we’re all alumni of the same school, and we’ll likely end up in the same medical system. It’s always good to know each other

Jiang Yuming’s enthusiasm dwindled when he saw Qi Sihao, who stood at 1.8 meters tal

Fortunately, Qi Sihao was quite sociable, calling him ‘senior’ and sweet-talking Jiang Yuming, brightening his demeano

While Yan Ming usually kept quiet, he maintained his polite, aloof facade, casting several glances at Qi Siha

However, the three of them were all graduates of Rong Medical University, moving from discussions about the “haunted” boys’ dorm to the public male shower with its voyeuristic tendencies, leaving Yu Tian feeling somewhat sideline

Feeling a bit bored, Yu Tian decided to pull out her phone. She took a photo of the caramel pudding in front of her, paired it with the pictures from the centennial celebration, and uploaded a post on her Moment

Soon after, to her surprise, a message from Gao Mei arrive

【MeiMei】: Little Yu Tian, I just so happen to be near your school. I’m coming to find yo

Yu Tian glanced at Yan Ming next to her, unsure how to decline, when another message from Gao Mei came throug

【MeiMei】: I saw your brother in the reflection of the spoon in the caramel pudding photo you posted. Are you two together? I can see the restaurant name on the napkin nearby. Wait for me five minutes; I’ll be there in a jiff

“

Great, it seemed she was coming specifically to see Yan Min

True to her word, Gao Mei arrived in five minutes—so much so that Yu Tian didn’t have a chance to inform Yan Ming about her impending arriva

Gao Mei, with her delicate features and exceptional taste in clothing, exuded an impressive aura, turning heads wherever she wen

Gao Mei greeted everyone with a warm smile, somewhat surprised. “What a crowd! Little Fish said she was nearby, so I thought I’d come find her. I didn’t expect this many people

As Gao Mei spoke, she casually glanced at Yan Ming, smiling shyly as she added, “Yan Ming, I didn’t expect you here too

Yan Ming’s response was cool; he merely gave a slight nod before expressionlessly looking back at Yu Tian, clearly wanting an explanatio

Yu Tian couldn’t provide one and resorted to nervously gulping down wate

Thankfully, Jiang Yuming enthusiastically began chatting with Gao Mei, preventing any awkward silenc

However, Qi Sihao, who was usually quite talkative, seemed rather tense. Much like Yu Tian, he kept downing water while occasionally darting nervous glances at Gao Me

The gathering didn’t last long, ultimately breaking up as Yan Ming and Jiang Yuming received urgent phone calls from the hospital, needing to cover shift

Gao Mei had made the effort to come but didn’t manage to exchange more than a few words with Yan Ming, disappointment evident on her fac

Just as Yu Tian was about to offer some comforting words before departing, she noticed that Qi Sihao, who had been silent earlier, suddenly came alive with enthusias

“Your name is Gao Mei, right? I’m Yu Tian’s best friend, Qi Sihao, and also Yan Ming’s junior

Qi Sihao wore a sincere smile, his expression trustworthy. “Are you interested in pursuing Yu Tian’s brother

Gao Mei was taken aback by such a direct question, blushing slightly, but still nodde

“Then I’ll help you

With genuine earnestness, Qi Sihao patted his chest. “I’m about to start working at a hospital with senior Yan Ming

He threw a glance at Yu Tian. “Little Fish isn’t working at the same place as senior Yan Ming, so she wouldn’t have the latest intel on his movements

Gao Mei looked hesitan

“If I say I want to help you just because you’re Little Fish’s friend, you probably wouldn’t believe it,” Qi Sihao said earnestly. “I’m not lying; I also have my own motives

“The girl I want to pursue has always had a crush on senior Yan Ming. As long as he’s single, she won’t give up. Since you want to pursue senior Yan Ming as well, if you two end up together, my chance with the girl I like will also increase, right

Qi Sihao smiled shyly. “So I want us to form an alliance to help one another in our pursuits

Upon hearing this, Gao Mei’s doubt vanished, and she looked at Qi Sihao with newfound trus

The two quickly exchanged contact information before saying their goodbye

As soon as Gao Mei left, Yu Tian blocked Qi Sihao’s pat

With a serious expression, she interrogated, “Explain

While Gao Mei was unfamiliar with Qi Sihao, Yu Tian knew him well enough; someone like him wasn’t genuinely kin

“Do you remember the girl I fell in love with at first sight

Qi Sihao’s eyes sparkled. “That’s her

?

Qi Sihao grinned ear to ear. “Looks like my springtime is just around the corner

“She doesn’t understand me yet, so she doesn’t appreciate my good qualities. She still has feelings for Yan Ming, and I forgive her for that. But soon, she will realize the error of her ways and switch her affections

Yu Tian was stunned. “So your earlier claims about someone pursuing her and forming an alliance to help her chase Yan Ming were fabricated

Qi Sihao nodded. “This is the best way to lower her guard and infiltrate her heart quickly

“

“First, become friends with Gao Mei, and then when she inevitably fails to win over Yan Ming and is heartbroken, I’ll be right there to comfort her, providing her with a shoulder to lean on and stepping in at the perfect moment to win her over

At this point, Qi Sihao looked at Yu Tian. “You have to help me

He proclaimed with conviction, “You saw for yourself; your brother Yan Ming has no interest in her. He’s too focused on his career and lacks any worldly desires. This is a selfless act on my part, helping your brother achieve his goals by allowing him to chase his career without distractions

“…” Yu Tian felt speechless. “Don’t you think your plan is a bit scheming? Wouldn’t it be considered cunning? How can you be so sure Gao Mei won’t have feelings for Yan Ming based on a prolonged acquaintance

Qi Sihao brushed this aside. “I call this resource optimization. Your brother Yan Ming simply doesn’t understand Gao Mei’s allure. He hasn’t even glanced her way; he pays more attention to me than he does to her

Yu Tian wanted to argu

She believed it was unethical to undermine Yan Ming’s potential love interest

Just then, she received a message from Yan Min

“How much are you getting paid to sell me to Gao Mei

Yu Tian felt wronged. “I didn’t take any money

Just as she was about to continue typing her explanation, another message from Yan Ming popped u

He sent her a bank transfe

【Yan】: Next time, don’t sell me out. I’ll redeem mysel

Initially intending to decline, Yu Tian accidentally accepted the transfer with a slip of her finge

After realizing it, she discovered Yan Ming had sent her five thousand yua

Almost immediately, Yu Tian transferred the money back to him, but Yan Ming quickly rejected i

After several exchanges, the money still hadn’t been returne

【A Little Fish】: Brother Yan Ming, this amount is too much! I can’t accept it. It feels too unsettling to take such a large su

【Yan】: You can rest assured; I’m worth far more than thi

“

Yu Tian was starting to suspect Qi Sihao had managed to disrupt Yan Ming’s potential romantic prospects after al
