Chapter 129.5.18

As one of the top universities in China, the Medical University has trained countless outstanding medical talents for the country. It is the dream school for all aspiring medical students.

Among its alumni are many industry giants, figures you only see in the news. But the one who is most talked about is An Shuting.

Every year, when new students enter the school, his great achievements are widely publicized. Whether it's his genius-level intellect, his handsome appearance, or his loyal same-sex partner, he always becomes the focus of discussion.

This time, he once again dominated the internet. After a three-year hiatus, this young academician resurfaced, unveiling another groundbreaking achievement.

Anti-cancer drugs and cancer cells-often referred to as the "immortal disease"-were successfully conquered by this young genius.

While everyone was excited, no one was truly surprised anymore. However, many young girls couldn't help but save his photo, taken in a white coat, as their phone's screensaver.

In the photo, the man looks even more elegant and composed as he ages. His narrow, clear eyes now carry the weight of experience, telling stories untold.

Below the photo, countless girls and boys were already eagerly commenting about marriage.

As they drank wine, Wang Ke teased Yu Bai: "You can tolerate this, brother. You don't have a shred of jealousy or sense of crisis at all."

Yu Bai, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, sat with an air of composed elegance. His fair skin, in contrast to his blue striped shirt, made him look like someone far younger than his forty years.

He casually flipped through his phone: "Anyway, the person is mine. They can only look on with envy."

Li Chengdong came in late, tossing his bag onto a chair before taking a sip of water. "I had to add a last-minute patient. If I didn't, I'd be struck by lightning. I'm so busy, it's hard to catch my breath."

After grumbling, he glanced around the room and noticed An Shuting was still absent. With a chuckle, Li Chengdong said, "It's this late, and he's not here yet. Looks like An Shuting's been forced into overtime again."

Wang Kun, who usually kept a low profile, looked up and said, "An Shuting's time is usually free, but sometimes he has important matters that keep him busy. Is that why you're so late?"

"Since you chose to study medicine, shouldn't you be more diligent?" he added with a playful smirk.

Li Chengdong rolled his eyes. "What's all this talk about diligence from a dentist like you?"

They continued chatting casually, and as they switched channels on the TV, An Shuting's figure kept popping up.

"Look at him-so flashy, with that hairstyle. Does he really want to compete with the celebrities?"

"Brother Yu, you can't kick him out. He's attracting all this attention. I'll introduce you to someone better," Li Chengdong joked, looking at Yu Bai.

Yu Bai glanced at An Shuting's silky hair under the light and smiled helplessly. "Can you really find someone more handsome, considerate, and talented than him?"

Li Chengdong was momentarily at a loss for words. "Forget it. That henpecked man. You can just make do with him."

Wang Ke added, "Brother, you really are patient. There's a huge uproar online, don't you care?" They'd known Yu Bai for years and were well aware of the pressure he faced.

Their romance had been passionate from the start, but as An Shuting's status grew, the internet buzzed with rumors. Some speculated when they would break up, while others claimed Yu Bai wasn't worthy of An Shuting.

They all found it exhausting to watch, but Yu Bai himself didn't seem bothered. He frequently showed affection for An Shuting, which only angered netizens further.

Yu Bai glanced down at his phone, seeing the post pushed to the top of the feed again. Some enthusiastic netizens had even compared their data, which was both funny and frustrating.

"What should I do about this? They didn't do anything extreme; they were just expressing their freedom of speech," Yu Bai mused.

Wang Ke stared at the post for a long time. He was an avid fan of An Shuting and had managed to elevate An Shuting, an outsider, to star status.

The post still had the familiar avatar. Wang Ke couldn't help but laugh. "I wonder what she'd think if she found out that the writer and big boss she admires and the man who stole her idol are the same person. Did you plan this when you invested in the studio, brother? It's no wonder they think like this."

The girl had originally been a fan of a different celebrity, but after discovering An Shuting, she stopped following those stars. Eventually, she worked at the studio run by Yu Bai, the writer she admired since junior high. She worked diligently, and Yu Bai's books had been selling well in recent years, making her a lot of money.

Wang Ke suddenly realized that Yu Bai wasn't just patient and sensible-he was the real winner. It made sense why Yu Bai always stayed calm and never got angry.

When An Shuting finally arrived, the table was already filled with nearly all the dishes. Yu Bai raised his hand and took An Shuting's coat. "Congratulations."

An Shuting glanced at him before pulling a ring from his pocket. "A gift."

Yu Bai extended his hand, and An Shuting gently placed the ring on his finger.

The gold ring sparkled brilliantly on his slender, bony finger, gleaming brightly under the light.

The other three were filled with jealousy. Despite the years that had passed, the bond between Yu Bai and An Shuting remained unchanged. Their love, pure and unwavering, stood in stark contrast to the flashy, transient relationships of the modern world.

Years ago, the three of them had been driven by envy, trying to find partners, but none of their attempts had amounted to much.

It was as if fate had a hand in it, for out of the four of them in the dormitory, only An Shuting had married. He had gotten his marriage certificate abroad, and the ceremony was a quiet family affair, not made public.

Wang Ke was doing better. He had just recently started dating someone. Looking at the delicate ring on Yu Bai's finger, he couldn't help but ask, "Your ring is quite unique. Where did you get it made? I want to get one for my girlfriend too."

Yu Bai withdrew his hand with a smile. "An Shuting designed it. There's a jewelry store on Old Street that offers special custom services."

After the meal, Wang Ke had a bit too much to drink and was helped away by his girlfriend. Yu Bai and An Shuting saw off Li Chengdong and Wang Kun as they made their way to the car.

Standing together in the snow, Yu Bai shoved his hands into his pockets, watching the others leave. Snowflakes settled on his lashes, which An Shuting gently brushed away.

Yu Bai's cheeks were warm from the drink, but his eyes shone with clarity. "It's wonderful, living a life like this-with my lover by my side, a few good friends, and everyone safe and healthy."

An Shuting warmed his hand, sliding it into his own, and together they walked toward home. "Is there anywhere you'd like to go this year? We've been so busy, maybe it's time for a spontaneous trip."

Yu Bai's voice, soft with a smile, broke through the snow and wind. "Elopement? Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your boss? It would be so embarrassing if they read your self-criticism letter aloud at the institute."

An Shuting chuckled. "Of course, you'll write half of it too, so we can share both the good and bad times..."

And with that, they walked on, their hearts in sync, ready to face whatever came next together.
