Xie Yingying is heartbroken seeing Ye Chen leave with Lin Shiyin, and confides in her friend Liu Tingting about Ye Chen's engagement. Liu Tingting encourages her to let go. Meanwhile, Ye Chen receives a call from his middle school friend Wang Jun, who informs him that their former physics teacher, Teacher Fan, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. They agree to visit the teacher together the next day.

Wang Jun’s eyes nearly popped out when he saw the address Ye Chen sent.

"Wow, Brother Chen actually lives in the Hua Mansion, that’s a bit too extravagant."

He muttered to himself.

For Wang Jun, this was also a good thing; it meant the more money Ye Chen had, the less likely he had to repay the hundreds of thousands borrowed.

After Ye Chen hung up, he continued driving.

Returning home, he saw Su Wanyi’s high heels at the door, knowing the girl had come back.

These days, Ye Chen was somewhat too busy, spending less time with this girl too.

He had to visit his teacher again tomorrow, couldn’t be at home.

On hearing noises outside, Su Wanyi spoke up.

"Honey, you’re back?"

"Yes, I am."

Ye Chen replied.

"Have you eaten? If not, heat up the food and rice I saved for you."

Su Wanyi said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt touched; he didn’t expect Su Wanyi had cooked dinner for him.

Not to mention, he was really a bit hungry.

Ye Chen changed his shoes and hurried to the kitchen, seeing the dishes on the table.

Though they didn’t look great, it was Su Wanyi’s sincere effort.

Most importantly, Su Wanyi had made two spicy dishes.

Ye Chen knew this was specially made for him by Su Wanyi.

This girl seldom ate spicy food, much less made two spicy dishes at once.

"Wanyi, have you eaten?"

Ye Chen entered the study, watching the busy Su Wanyi and asked.

"I had some soup, not really hungry."

Su Wanyi looked up and said with a smile.

He didn’t know this girl had secretly been learning how to cook these days.

"What does that matter? I’ll make you a bowl of noodles."

Ye Chen knew Su Wanyi couldn’t eat spicy food, and remembered she loved the noodle soup he made.

"No need, I’m on a diet, it’s too late to eat now."

Su Wanyi quickly said.

But her words came too late, Ye Chen was already in the kitchen cooking.

Ye Chen did this partly because it felt inappropriate for Su Wanyi to just watch him eat, and partly because he hadn’t had much time with this girl due to things lately, so he considered it a kind of compensation.

Soon, a delightful aroma wafted into the study.

Su Wanyi at the computer couldn’t concentrate on her work anymore.

The aroma was simply too tempting.

Most frustrating for Su Wanyi was her stomach rumbling uncontrollably.

Su Wanyi pouted and came into the dining room, looking at Ye Chen with grievance.

"Ye Chen, you’re awful, tempting me, you’re just a stumbling block on my diet road."

"I don’t see you as fat, why diet?"

Ye Chen asked, perplexed.

"Pfft, you’re just sweet-talking, I won’t believe you."

Su Wanyi rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.

Though she said this, she was very honest in picking up the chopsticks.

Ye Chen was quite helpless with this girl’s mismatched words and heart.

"Wife, I need to tell you something."

Ye Chen suddenly put down the chopsticks and looked at Su Wanyi.

"What is it, why the serious look?"

Su Wanyi had never seen Ye Chen with such an expression, making her somewhat worried.

"Hey, my middle school physics teacher is ill; classmates collectively want to visit him, and I have to fly early tomorrow morning to see him."

"Oh, really happening, is your teacher’s condition serious?"

Su Wanyi hurriedly asked.

"A classmate called to say the teacher has lung cancer."

Ye Chen said like a deflated balloon.

"How could this be, you know lung cancer has the highest mortality rate, once discovered, it’s generally mid to late stage, and worsens quickly."

Su Wanyi also felt worried about this physics teacher.

"Yeah, I felt very upset on hearing the news; Teacher Fan was really good to me before, really hope he gets better soon."

Ye Chen said, looking forlorn.

"Don’t be like that, I believe Teacher Fan will be alright, good people live a long life."

Su Wanyi comforted.

"Anyway, you’ll see Teacher Fan tomorrow, maybe it’s just a preliminary diagnosis, could be a misdiagnosis, maybe not as your classmates said."

Though she comforted Ye Chen, she knew hospitals wouldn’t misdiagnose such matters.

After all, telling family post-diagnosis is a huge blow.

If misdiagnosed, families surely pursue the hospital.

"Hmm, hopefully."

Ye Chen picked up the chopsticks, changing sorrow to strength and ate all the dish on the plate.

Su Wanyi also finished the noodle soup.

She comforted Ye Chen a few more words and returned to the study to continue her work.

Ye Chen, after tidying up the table and kitchen, went to lie in the bedroom.

Today, he wasn’t in any mood; if before, he’d definitely tease Su Wanyi a bit.

Thinking of his teacher’s kindness, his heart felt very painful.

Ye Chen was quite naughty in middle school; like other mischievous boys, didn’t listen in class, often disrupted.

Giving teachers headaches, often the one parents were called for.

Because both parents were factory workers, their work busy, couldn’t spare time to care for him.

Only physics Teacher Fan never called his parents, patiently explained and showed much care in life.

Often brought him home for meals, helped with studies, though Teacher Fan’s partner was very upset.

Knowing Teacher Fan had his own children needing money.

With Ye Chen eating too, naturally added more expense.

Teacher Fan ignored his partner’s objections, insisted on bringing Ye Chen home.

Thus, through Teacher Fan’s patient teaching, Ye Chen transformed from a disruptive, learning-averse child to a student who listened attentively, greatly improving grades.

Surprising the teachers.

Ye Chen knew it was Teacher Fan’s caring and concern that brought his transformation.

He must be thankful to Teacher Fan his entire life.

On hearing Teacher Fan’s illness, Ye Chen felt deeply upset.

He took out his phone, opened the middle school classmates group.

Currently, the content was also lamenting Teacher Fan’s illness.

From classmates’ words, Ye Chen could see Teacher Fan held a high place in everyone’s hearts.

Indeed, Teacher Fan helped not just Ye Chen alone.

Whenever students faced difficulties, Teacher Fan always extended a helping hand.

He once said, teachers should care not only about students’ academics but their lives too.

Teacher Fan not only said this, he also did it.
