The friend's wife and daughter (13-17)

13.
Thirteen years ago, I was an art teacher at a middle school affiliated with a state-owned enterprise in my hometown, teaching art to first-year students.
Because my classes were lively and interesting, and I was relatively young and handsome at the time, my students liked me very much, especially the girls, Gao Xiaomei being one of them.
Gao Xiaomei was only thirteen years old then, quite pretty and intelligent, and was my art class representative. She was very interested in art, so I liked her quite a bit and often tutored her in my office during breaks.
I even took her and several other art-loving students to the countryside for sketching on weekends. I could sense Gao Xiaomei's admiration for me then, but I never thought of taking advantage of it to do anything to her.
I gave Gao Xiaomei a sketchbook published by an art publishing house, which contained many figure sketches. I never imagined that this sketchbook would become the trigger for my leaving the school.
One day, Gao Xiaomei's parents came to the school and reported me to the school leaders for attempting to seduce their daughter into having a sexual relationship. The evidence they presented was that sketchbook, which they considered pornographic.
To my surprise, Gao Xiaomei confessed to the principal that I had repeatedly asked to draw her nude and even tried to undress her.
Although I had never done these things, the principal was convinced that a thirteen-year-old girl wouldn't lie like that. The incident caused a huge uproar throughout the factory and the community, even spreading rumors that I had violated the girl. Many parents found out and refused to let me teach their children, especially the parents of the girls.
I never imagined that my favorite student, a thirteen-year-old girl, would betray me so cruelly. Although I was innocent, I was forced to resign from the school due to immense public pressure.
I wanted to apply for a teaching position at another school, even a primary school, but no school wanted to hire a teacher with a history of attempted sexual assault.
My father, also a retired teacher from that school, was also affected by the rumors, with many people in the factory saying that the Chen family had produced a perverted lecher. He was already frail and sickly, and this incident made him so ill that he died a few months later, filled with resentment. My girlfriend, whom I was supposed to marry, broke up with me, and I left my hometown for Shenzhen. What
I never expected was that thirteen years later, I would reunite with Gao Xiaomei, who had framed me with her parents back then, in Shenzhen, and even end up in bed with her in a daze.
She had changed so much in those thirteen years that I hadn't recognized her at all. Now, looking closely, I could indeed see the shadow of Gao Xiaomei in her features.
"Why did you do that back then?" I asked the question that had haunted me for thirteen years.
I thought I might never have the chance to ask this question again, but fate brought the answer to me.
"My parents forced me..." Gao Xiaomei from thirteen years ago, now Gao Yina, cried, "They beat me, they scolded me, I had no choice, I was only thirteen years old!"
"And why?" I asked in a deep voice.
Gao Yina stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and said, "Later I found out that you had offended a school leader. It was that person who received my parents when they first came to the school to complain about that so-called pornographic book. That person instigated my parents to do it and even promised them benefits."
She started crying again, and after a while continued, "It wasn't until you left the school and your hometown, until your father passed away, that I realized what a serious mistake I had made. I regretted it so much then, I often hid and cried alone, I hated myself."
"I mustered up the courage to find the principal and explain the truth, but the principal said that things were beyond repair and told me not to tell anyone."
"Later I heard that you went to Shenzhen, so I came to Shenzhen right after graduating from university and changed my name to Gao Yina because I hated the name Gao Xiaomei."
“I hope to meet you in this city, though the hope is slim, I still pray to God to grant my wish. Not for anything else, not to ask for your forgiveness, but just to say to you face to face, ‘I'm sorry…’”
She bowed her head, sobbing, and said to me, “Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…”
She choked back tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I knew she had waited thirteen long years to say this apology.
Seeing her like this, I knew she was truly repenting. Her sorrow softened my heart, even pained me. I wanted to embrace her, wipe away her tears, and softly say, “It's alright, it's alright, so many years have passed…”
But I did nothing, just silently watched her.
Gao Yina stopped crying again, wiped away her tears, and sobbed, "I never thought that fate would let us meet again in this vast sea of people. I recognized you at first sight that day, and I was so excited, but I found that you didn't recognize me anymore, and I didn't dare to acknowledge you because I was too ashamed to see you..."
"So I decided to treat you in my own way, even if you never recognize me, even if you have completely forgotten me, as long as I can stay by your side silently..."
Gao Yina wiped away her tears again, raised her tear-streaked face and looked away, "Back then, didn't they say you wanted to paint my nude body? Okay, I'll let you paint it. Didn't they say you wanted to sleep with me? Okay, I'll sleep with you. I'm going to do all the things they slandered you for, things you never did..."
She turned to look at me, "Teacher Chen, I can't let you suffer this injustice for nothing."
Only then did I understand why she was so proactive and enthusiastic towards me, almost eager to get close to me and sleep with me?
"So, the reason you came to me, to get close to me, is to make up for that one time they imagined thirteen years ago, a time I never even considered, is that it?" I pointed in a certain direction, my emotions running high.
She stared at me blankly, her eyes brimming with tears.
"If that's the case, let me tell you, I don't need it, because you can't possibly compensate for my lost reputation and ruined innocence, you can't possibly bring back my father's untimely death."
My tears welled up, but I didn't want to cry in front of her, so I forced back them and said, "From the day you and your parents slandered me, a teacher who attempted to sexually assault a minor girl has been forever etched in the history of that school. And that teacher's father, who died with resentment, will never see the day his son is proven innocent."
Tears streamed down my face, and I quickly wiped them away, looking away. I heard Gao Yina's sobbing beside me, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..."
Her head was bowed low, she sobbed uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking with each sob. I gave her a cold look, got up, pulled on my underwear, and was about to leave when she grabbed me.
“You’re wrong about one thing…” she said, her tearful eyes looking at me pitifully, “I slept with you because I like you, I’ve liked you since I was thirteen.”
I didn’t speak, nor did I look at her, and shook off her hand, leaving the bedroom.
Just as I finished dressing, Gao Yina rushed out naked, hugged me from behind, and cried, “Haoyan, you don’t have to forgive me, you can hit me, you can scold me, but please, don’t ignore me…”
At that moment, I really wanted to turn around and hug her. I pried her hands away and said coldly, “Gao Xiaomei, let’s never see each other again.”
After saying that, she walked towards the door, opened it, and slammed it shut as she left. Gao Yina immediately knelt on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
Walking down the street, my heart was pounding; it all felt like a dream.
Although I didn't hate Gao Yina, I couldn't bring myself to pretend nothing had happened and stay with her after knowing she was Gao Xiaomei.
My reputation and innocence had been unjustly destroyed, the days I had suffered from this injustice, and my father's untimely death wouldn't allow me to do that.
End it all! While it's just beginning. I took out my phone, ready to block Gao Yina on WeChat, when Zhao Bingjie called. I wondered what the little girl wanted so late.
"Uncle Chen, Mom is sick, very sick," Zhao Bingjie said anxiously on the phone, almost crying.
I said, "Bingjie, don't worry, what happened?"
Zhao Bingjie told me that after she and her two children returned home tonight, An Minting suddenly had a stomachache that kept getting worse. Painkillers weren't helping, and now she couldn't bear the pain anymore.
"Pack your mother's things now, I'll be right there to take her to the hospital," I said, hanging up the phone and hailing a taxi to An Minting's house.

14.
Arriving at An Minting's villa, Zhao Bingjie opened the door. I asked, "How is your mother now?"
"A little better than before, but she's still in a lot of pain," Zhao Bingjie said tearfully.
She led me into An Minting's bedroom. An Minting was leaning against the headboard, supporting her stomach with her hand, her face pale.
Seeing me, she weakly called out, "Haoyan..."
I asked Zhao Bingjie, "Have you packed Mom's things?"
"Yes," Zhao Bingjie nodded.
I sat on the edge of the bed and held An Minting's hand. "Is it very painful?"
She looked at me and nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. I knew it wasn't from the pain, but from seeing someone she could rely on, a manifestation of emotion.
This usually strong, reserved, even aloof woman was now incredibly vulnerable, tormented by illness.
Zhao Bingjie handed me the bag containing An Minting's belongings. I took it, slung it over my shoulder, and then held An Minting in my arms, saying to Zhao Bingjie, "Take good care of your little brother. I'll take care of everything."
The little girl nodded and wiped away her tears.
As we went downstairs, An Minting wrapped her arms around my neck, tears streaming down her face as she smiled and said, "Haoyan, thank you."
I laughed, "Don't cry now, I don't have hands to wipe your tears."
She gave me a playful laugh and playfully hit my shoulder.
I drove An Minting's car to the hospital. An examination in the emergency room revealed she had acute peritonitis and needed immediate drainage surgery.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief. While paying the bill, I received a call from Zhao Bingjie, asking how her mother was.
I told her it was acute peritonitis and she was about to have drainage surgery. The little girl burst into tears upon hearing about the surgery. I quickly comforted her, telling her it was a minor procedure, no incision needed, and everything would be fine. She stopped crying.
I then told her to take good care of her little brother and not to worry about the hospital.
After paying the fees and returning to the emergency room, the nurse handed me the surgical consent form to sign and then said, "The surgery is about to start. Take off your wife's pajamas and underwear."
An Minting was lying on the mobile bed, very weak, and with painkillers in her arm, she couldn't undress herself.
I was momentarily at a loss for words. As the nurse left, seeing me standing there motionless, she impatiently urged, "Hurry up! What are you standing there for?"
I was about to explain that I wasn't the patient's husband when An Minting said weakly, "Haoyan, listen to her."
I had no choice but to walk to the mobile bed, lift the sheet covering An Minting, place my hands on her waistband, turn my head to the side, and pull down her pajamas and underwear, my face flushed red.
An Minting also took turns lifting her legs to help me remove her pants. After finally finishing, we covered her with the sheet again. During this process, although I tried my best not to look at her, I couldn't help but catch a glimpse of her; white and dark figures filled my vision. My heart pounded.
"Haoyan..." An Minting called softly.
I half-squatted down beside her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's okay."
She opened her eyes and looked at me, "It's good to have you here, with you by our side, mother and daughter, by my side."
I smiled and nodded, and said softly, "Don't talk, close your eyes, I'll wait for you in the ward in a little while."
Tears streamed down her face, sliding from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow.
"Be good, close your eyes." I wiped away her tears and said.
She smiled slightly and obediently did as she was told.
An Minting was wheeled out of the emergency room. I put her pajama bottoms and underwear into my bag and headed towards the inpatient building.
When I arrived at the ward, the conditions were quite good. I had requested a VIP ward, which was relatively large, with a private bathroom, sofa, refrigerator, water dispenser, microwave, and so on.
Of course, it was also quite expensive. However, with An Minting's wealth, this amount of money was nothing.
At this moment, I received a WeChat message from Gao Yina, "Haoyan, where are you?"
"Don't ignore me, okay?"
I didn't reply. She sent another message, "Whether you forgive me or not, I will never disappear from your sight, never."
I sighed and silently blocked her.
I admit, she is indeed a charming beauty. But I can't stay with her after knowing that she is Gao Xiaomei, I can't do it.
I sent a WeChat message to Zhao Bingjie, asking about her family situation. She replied that she was putting her younger brother to sleep, and asked how her mother was.
I told her that she was having surgery and would be finished soon, and told her to be careful at home, and to close the doors and windows, turn off the gas, etc.
It was already past midnight, and as soon as I relaxed, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the sofa.
I don't know how long I slept, but I was awakened by a series of voices and footsteps. When I opened my eyes, I saw a nurse and a caregiver pushing An Minting on a mobile hospital bed into the ward.
I got up and asked, "How is she?"
The nurse said, "Minor surgery, no problem."
After the caregiver left, the nurse abruptly pulled back the sheet covering An Minting and ordered, "Carry the patient to the bed."
An Minting was naked from the waist down; unexpectedly, I saw her two snow-white legs, dark pubic hair, and private parts.
I was immediately flustered, and An Minting blushed. The nurse impatiently urged, "Hurry up! Stop dawdling."
I had no choice but to pick An Minting up and place her on the bed, immediately covering her with the blanket, and said to the nurse, "Can't you at least respect the patient's privacy?"
The nurse's behavior had indeed angered me. The nurse said, "I'm a woman, and you're her husband, is that alright?"
"I..." I was about to say I wasn't her husband when An Minting grabbed my hand and said, "Never mind."
The nurse pushed the gurney out, and I sat down beside it, asking softly, "Are you feeling better?"
An Minting opened her eyes, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, much better."
I smiled and said, "That's good."
She added, "Haoyan, thank you."
I said, "Why do you always say things like that? We should never say those words between us."
She smiled and nodded. "Okay, I won't say it again."
At that moment, another nurse came in and started an IV drip for An Minting. I asked her what medication she was receiving. She said it was an anti-inflammatory, and then gave me some instructions on how to care for her.
After the nurse left, An Minting asked me to help her put on her pants. I picked up her underwear, slipped it under the covers, and pulled it up over her feet, turning my face to the side. Then I helped her put on her pajama bottoms.
After she was dressed, she asked me about Zhao Bingjie and her brother. I told her I had contacted that girl before, and she was putting Bao'er to sleep. The siblings should be asleep by now, so I told her not to worry.
"Haoyan, are you close to that... Miss Gao?" An Minting asked.
“We’ve met a few times, but we’re not that close!” I said, of course, I couldn’t tell her that I had slept with Gao Yina.
“Since you’re not that close, why did you talk about those kinds of things?” she asked, looking at me.
I was secretly shocked; she had overheard everything Gao Yina and I had said at the buffet. I was incredibly embarrassed.
An Minting continued, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just happened to be walking over there and heard it.”
“I’m sorry…” I said, rather embarrassed, “That girl doesn’t know what she’s talking about, don’t be angry.”
“Why should I be angry?” she chuckled softly, “She just asked if you liked me? Did you like me or Bingjie? She didn’t say anything else.”
She looked at me with a gentle smile. My heart fluttered, and I said, “Don’t talk anymore, you just had surgery, you need to rest more.”
“Then you should rest too,” she said.
“Okay.” I nodded with a smile.
After she closed her eyes, I got up and walked out of the ward. I heard her say, "Where are you going?"
I said, "Just going outside for a smoke, I'll be right back."
"Then hurry up," she said coquettishly.
"Okay." I smiled slightly at her and left the ward.
In the stairwell, standing in front of the stainless steel trash can, I smoked while recalling the events of the day.
So many things happened today, one after another, it was almost overwhelming.
I thought of Gao Yina again, wondering how she was doing. I told myself, stop thinking about her, from today onwards, you have nothing to do with her anymore.

15.
Back in the ward, An Minting seemed to be asleep. I went to the bathroom and was about to lie down on the sofa when I heard An Minting call me.
I went to the bedside and asked, "What's wrong?"
She opened her eyes and said shyly, "I...I need to pee."
I looked around and said, "There's no bedpan? Should I go to the nurses' station and ask?"
"Can you carry me to the bathroom?"
I said embarrassedly, "Well..."
"Oh!" she said, "You saw everything I shouldn't have seen earlier, what's there to be ashamed of?"
"But you're still on an IV drip!"
"Isn't there an indwelling needle? Just turn off the drip, pull the needle out of the indwelling needle, and that'll be fine."
So I turned off the switch, pulled the needle out of the indwelling needle, picked An Minting up horizontally, and carried her to the bathroom.
When we got to the bathroom, I put An Minting down, and she hugged my neck and said, "Can you help me take off my pants? I have no strength at all, I can't even stand up."
I had already helped her take off and put on clothes tonight, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. So I stared at the wall behind her and pulled down her pajama bottoms and underwear a little bit.
She wasn't wearing a bra under her pajamas, and her full breasts pressed against my chest through the thin fabric, making my heart flutter. I then lifted her and helped her sit on the toilet.
Just as I was about to leave, An Minting said, "Just turn your back." I did as she said, and soon I heard the sounds of a woman urinating and the splashing of urine against the toilet bowl behind me. The
thought of a beautiful, mature woman urinating naked behind me filled me with fantasies. After the sounds stopped, I heard the rustling of toilet paper being torn.
After a while, An Minting said, "Okay!"
I turned around, still looking elsewhere, and helped her stand up. She had just risen a little when she suddenly slumped down. I yelled "Careful!" and quickly pulled her down, catching her firmly on her bare, full buttocks.
For a moment, we both froze. My heart was pounding, and I could almost hear hers.
After a few seconds of this awkward silence, An Minting nestled in my arms, her pretty face flushed, and said, "Have you touched enough? Can you take your hands away now?"
I quickly removed my hands, stammering, "I...I didn't mean to."
"Okay, okay! I'm not blaming you," she said, wrapping her arms around my neck and giggling shyly.
I started pulling up her underwear, then her pajama bottoms. Although I tried to avoid touching her skin, it was unavoidable.
Just as I finished dressing her, I heard a nurse calling from outside, "An Minting, An Minting..."
I answered and carried An Minting out of the restroom.
The nurse said, "I forgot earlier. Take two pills of this medicine later, and two more tomorrow morning."
"Okay,"
I replied irritably, feeling a bit annoyed. What kind of top-tier hospital is this? The nurses are not only rude, but they also don't respect patient privacy and keep forgetting things.
After the nurse left, I took An Minting's water cup, filled it with some cold and hot water from the water dispenser, and helped her take her medicine.
I voiced my dissatisfaction, saying I'd complain if things continued. An Minting took her medicine and said, "Okay, okay! When you're in a difficult situation, you have to bow your head. Besides, they're not being that unreasonable."
I said, "I understand that, but I just can't stand how they treat patients, how they treat you."
She held my hand softly and said, "I know you're doing this for me, don't be angry."
I reinserted the IV needle into the indwelling catheter and turned it on. An Minting suddenly groaned, "Ouch! It hurts so much!"
I quickly asked, "Is your stomach hurting again?"
"Not my stomach?"
"Then where does it hurt? Should I go call the doctor?"
"There!" she said, smiling through the pain.
"Where exactly?" I was even more confused.
She rolled her eyes at me and smiled shyly, "It's my anus that hurts!"
I then understood that the drainage procedure required inserting a drainage tube into her anus, which was why she was in pain.
"Then I'll go call the doctor," I said, getting up, but she stopped me.
"It's alright, it doesn't hurt that much, it'll be fine in a while."
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to sleep, you should sleep too." She said, closing her eyes.
It was already past four in the morning. I lay down on the sofa, closed my eyes, and fell asleep immediately.
Just as I fell asleep, I heard An Minting call out, "Haoyan..."
I quickly got up and sat by the bedside, took her raised hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
I saw her muttering with her eyes closed, "Haoyan, Haoyan..."
I realized she was talking in her sleep, and quietly looked at her. She called out again, then fell silent.
I still held her hand and rested my head on the edge of the bed.
When I woke up in the morning, I realized that I had been holding An Minting's hand the whole time I was asleep.
Before she woke up, I quickly went to the small supermarket in the hospital and bought two plastic basins, one large and one small, two towels, and a mouthwash cup. I had forgotten to bring these things when I took her to the hospital last night, and it wasn't convenient to bring them. I only brought a water cup, a change of pajamas, and underwear.
Considering the nurse said An Minting couldn't eat yet, I bought her a carton of milk, intending to warm it with hot water for her to drink later.
Doing this for An Minting felt natural, yet also very heartwarming. She's my only confidante in this life, perhaps even my only true confidante, and I'm happy to take care of her.
On the way back to the ward, I called Zhao Jianguo to tell him An Minting was sick and hospitalized. He was surprised and asked what was wrong, how serious it was.
I said acute peritonitis, she'd already had drainage surgery, and might need to stay in the hospital for two or three days. He visibly relaxed, saying he couldn't leave his post and asked me to be understanding.
I said that was no problem, but I could only manage one thing; Bao'er was still being taken care of by Bingjie! Come back as soon as you're done. "
Okay, I'm busy!" he said, then hung up. I thought to myself, "Your wife's in the hospital, and you don't even have time to say a few more words?"
In the ward, An Minting sat on the edge of the bed rinsing her mouth, and I held a plastic basin beside her to catch it. The nurse came in and took down the hospital card hanging at the foot of the bed, filling it out as she wrote. She chuckled, "Your husband is so good to you; he held your hand even while you were asleep."
An Minting looked at me, and I smiled sheepishly. After the nurse left, An Minting spat out her mouthwash and asked with a smile, "What the nurse said, was it all true?"
I wiped her mouth with a towel and chuckled, "You were talking in your sleep, so I was just comforting you."
We looked at each other and smiled, feeling a strange sense of understanding.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Zhao Bingjie brought her younger brother to the ward.
As soon as An Minting saw her nephew, whom she treated like her youngest son, she smiled and said, "Bao'er, come here, Auntie missed you so much!"
She called Bao'er to the bedside, hugged him, kissed him twice, and even gave him a kiss on the lips. Zhao Bingjie secretly rolled her eyes.
I felt that An Minting cared too much for her nephew, even more than for her daughter. It's no wonder, though. The An family has had only one son per generation for generations, and An Minting is exceptionally filial to her parents and has a very close relationship with her younger brother. Naturally, she adores her brother's precious son.
An Minting held her daughter's hand and smiled, "Have you two had breakfast?"
Zhao Bingjie replied, "Yes, I made it."
An Minting smiled, "Our Bingjie is all grown up now, she can take care of her brother."
Zhao Bingjie raised the food bag in her hand and asked, "Mom, have you and Uncle Chen eaten? I brought you steamed buns and soy milk."
An Minting said, "I can't eat yet, Uncle Chen should have them!"
After eating the steamed buns, An Minting said to me, "Haoyan, go back and get some sleep. You haven't slept much all night."
I said, "I'm fine. Bingjie has to take care of you and look after Bao'er, how can she manage?"
Zhao Bingjie said, "Uncle Chen, you should go back. I can manage on my own. You can come back this afternoon."
I thought, that's fine, I can go back, take a shower, shave, and catch up on some sleep. So I said goodbye to the mother and her two children, and drove away from the hospital in An Minting's car.
I parked back in the apartment complex, and as soon as I got out, I heard someone call my name, "Haoyan."

16.
Turning around, I saw Gao Yina walking towards me. I hadn't expected that after I blocked her and she couldn't contact me, she would actually come to my door to wait for me. My heart immediately warmed.
"Whose car is this?" Gao Yina asked, looking at the Mercedes E300L.
"None of your business," I said coldly, walking towards the building entrance.
I hadn't forgotten that whether it was the past Gao Xiaomei or the present Gao Yina, I shouldn't have any further contact with her.
"Haoyan..." she followed closely, saying, "I want to talk to you."
"There's nothing to talk about between us," I said, continuing on my way.
"You stop right there!" she grabbed me, staring at me, and said, "Why did you block me? Why?"
I said coldly, "That's my own business, my freedom, it has nothing to do with you."
Saying this, I walked into the building. She continued to follow, “I couldn’t reach you, so I came to your house to look for you, but you weren’t there. I’ve been waiting since last night. Tell me, where have you been all night? Who were you with?”
Hearing her words, my heart softened instantly. But I forced myself to harden my heart, “Where I went and who I was with is none of your business. I’ve already told you, let’s not see each other anymore, don’t you understand? Gao-Xiao-Mei.”
I deliberately pronounced Gao Xiao-Mei slowly and heavily. At that moment, I noticed her eyes were filled with tears.
After the elevator doors opened, I entered the elevator, pressing the close button as I coldly said to Gao Yina outside, “Don’t follow me.”
The elevator doors closed, shutting out the pitiful Gao Yina who was looking at me.
I asked myself, do I really have to do this? Is it really necessary to go this far?
But if I don’t do it, if I don’t go this far, I feel like I’m letting down my past self and my father in heaven.
I went home, took a shower, and then fell fast asleep. I was startled awake by my phone alarm at 1 p.m. Worried about the hospital, I immediately left and drove there.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yina followed me in her car all the way to the hospital parking lot.
As soon as An Minting saw me return, she said to Zhao Bingjie, "Bingjie, help Mom take a shower. I haven't showered for two days, I'm filthy."
Then she said to me, "Haoyan, could you please watch Bao'er?"
"Okay," I replied with a smile.
An Minting, supported by her daughter, walked towards the bathroom. By this time, she was feeling much better and could walk slowly with assistance.
After the mother and daughter went into the bathroom, I saw Bao'er doodling in a sketchbook, so I sat down beside him, hugged him, and said, "Bao'er, how about Uncle teaches you to draw?"
"Okay!" the little guy happily replied.
When the mother and daughter came out after showering, Bao'er was drawing happily under my guidance, giggling. An Minting lay down on the bed and laughed, "Haoyan, you're really good; you can teach both big and little kids."
As I held Bao'er's hand and drew, I chuckled, "After all, I was a teacher for a few years!"
Just then, there was a knock at the door. We turned to look and saw Gao Yina standing at the ward door, holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand and a fruit basket in her right, smiling at us.
"Miss Gao?" An Minting said in surprise, then looked at me.
Under our astonished gazes, Gao Yina walked in confidently and smiled, "Sister An, I heard you were sick and hospitalized, so I came to see you."
"How did you know I was hospitalized?" An Minting asked, looking at me again.
"Well, I came here to visit a sick friend, and when I went out, I ran into Haoyan, and he told me."
Gao Yina said, looking at me, "Right? Haoyan."
What could I say? I could only nod.
An Minting smiled, "Oh, I see! Thank you, Miss Gao, please have a seat."
Although she felt a little abrupt about this unexpected visit, she still had to greet her with a smile. At this moment, Zhao Bingjie said from the side, "Hello, Sister Gao."
"Hello, Bingjie," Gao Yina smiled at Zhao Bingjie.
"What? You two know each other too?" An Minting was even more surprised, looking at her daughter and then at Gao Yina.
Zhao Bingjie said to her mother, "I've met Sister Gao at Uncle Chen's house."
An Minting looked at me again, her gaze meaningful, as if to say, "Really? She's been to your house?"
Zhao Bingjie took the flowers from Gao Yina and said, "Sister Gao, please sit down, I'll arrange the flowers."
Gao Yina said "Thank you," and Zhao Bingjie took the flowers and the vase from the ward into the bathroom.
An Minting laughed, "Look at you, you came all this way! Why did you buy all this? Sit down!"
Gao Yina sat down and smiled, "It's my pleasure."
Facing these two women, I felt incredibly awkward. Gao Yina, seeing Bao'er staring intently at her, smiled and said, "What an adorable little brother! Who are you?"
An Minting smiled and said, "He's my nephew. Bao'er, say hello to Auntie."
Bao'er did so, and Gao Yina patted his head before asking An Minting, "Sister An, are you feeling better?"
"Acute peritonitis, it's nothing serious, much better," An Minting chuckled.
She then asked, "By the way, Miss Gao, I haven't had the pleasure of asking your name yet!"
"I'm flattered, sister. My name is Gao Yina, Yi as in art, Na as in woman."
"What a lovely name, hehe... So, how did you and Haoyan meet?"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yina looked at me with a half-smile, her gaze equally meaningful, as if to say, "Are you her husband? Why are you addressing me so affectionately?"
An Minting chuckled again, "Miss Gao, please don't take offense. Haoyan is an old friend of mine, and I've always considered him like a brother, so I call him affectionately, hehe..."
Gao Yina finally looked away from me and smiled, "That's fine."
Zhao Bingjie came out of the bathroom carrying a vase of flowers and sat down next to Bao'er to watch him paint, but actually she was listening to her mother and Gao Yina's conversation.
"You still haven't told me, Miss Gao." An Minting looked at Gao Yina with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Tell you what?" Gao Yina smiled back, meeting An Minting's gaze, not to be outdone, her expression telling her to bring it on.
"How did you meet Haoyan?" An Minting still smiled.
"He helped me once, and that's how we met!" Gao Yina didn't flinch from An Minting's gaze.
"Really? You two are quite destined for each other, hehe..." An Minting smiled at me.
"Indeed, hehe..." Gao Yina smiled back at me.
The gazes of the two women made me feel uneasy.
"Haoyan, should I take my medicine?" An Minting suddenly asked me.
I responded, picked up An Minting's water glass, filled it halfway with water from the water dispenser, went to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took out the medicine bottle, poured two pills into the cap, and handed it to An Minting.
After taking it, she took the water glass from my hand, sipped it, and said, "It's too hot, add some cold water."
I thought to myself, does she really think I'm her husband? Is she doing this on purpose for Gao Yina's benefit?
I did as she said, returned to the bedside, and handed the water glass to An Minting. Throughout this process, Gao Yina watched An Minting and me without making a sound.
After An Minting finished taking her medicine, she handed me a glass of water and said to Gao Yina, "Miss Gao, would you like some water?"
Then she said to me, "Pour Miss Gao a glass of water."
Gao Yina shook her head and laughed, "No need, no need..."
An Minting smiled at her, "How can that be? You came all this way to see me, you should still have a sip of water." She
looked at me again and said, "Haoyan..."
Then she looked at Gao Yina again, as if declaring her ownership of me. I was both amused and exasperated, mentally clapping my hands, then kneeling on one knee, bowing my head, and saying, "Oh, Empress Dowager.
" I filled a disposable paper cup from the water dispenser with some cold water and handed it to Gao Yina. She said "Thank you" and reached out to take it.
Suddenly, whether by accident or intentionally, the glass fell and splashed water all over her.

17.
With Gao Yina's exclamation of "Ah!", Zhao Bingjie rushed to the bathroom to get a mop. An Minting complained, "Oh dear! Haoyan, what happened to you?"
I quickly grabbed a few tissues and handed them to Gao Yina, but she didn't take them. Instead, she clutched her clothes and said in a coquettish voice, "It's all wet, what am I going to do?"
I had no choice but to wipe her clothes with the tissues. Zhao Bingjie brought the mop from the bathroom and started mopping the floor.
"Wipe this too, and this..." Gao Yina said, glancing at An Minting out of the corner of her eye, a smug look on her face.
The mother and daughter watched us from the side. After wiping, Gao Yina said to An Minting, "Excuse me, Sister An, could I use the restroom?"
An Minting already looked displeased and said, "Please go ahead."
"Thank you," Gao Yina said, entering the restroom and closing the door.
Soon, the sound of urination came from inside. An Minting, with a sour face, remained silent.
Gao Yina's voice came from the bathroom, "Haoyan, where's the toilet paper? Get me some."
I thought to myself, there's toilet paper! How could there not be? Then I heard her shout again, "Hurry up!"
Without thinking, I got up, grabbed a few tissues, and was about to head to the bathroom when An Minting stopped me, "Don't go."
She then said to Zhao Bingjie, "Bingjie, you go."
Zhao Bingjie said "Oh," took the tissues from me, and went to the bathroom.
After Gao Yina came out, An Minting said, "Excuse me, Miss Gao, I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap. You and Haoyan chat."
I quickly went over to help her lower the bed.
Gao Yina could only say, "Then you rest, I won't disturb you."
As soon as Gao Yina and I reached the corridor outside the ward, she angrily said, "Does she really think you're her husband? She has a husband of her own! What kind of person is she?"
I glared at her and strode towards the elevator. Gao Yina followed closely, taking two steps back and grabbing my arm. I lifted my hand, shaking it off, and continued walking.
She said to me coquettishly, "What's wrong? Why are you so grumpy?"
I led Gao Yina to a secluded spot outside the inpatient department entrance and blurted out, "What do you want?"
She stared at me blankly. "Haoyan, what's wrong with you?"
I snapped, "You've been following me from outside my house all the way to my ward, just to act like we're close and intimate in front of my friend?"
Gao Yina looked innocent. "Your friend is sick, can't I come to see her? Is it worth getting so angry?"
"No need!" I shouted, glancing elsewhere before adding, "Is this really visiting my friend? You're clearly here to provoke her."
"Who told her to treat you like her husband? I just can't stand it!" she shouted back.
“What’s it to you?” I stared at her and said, “Gao Xiaomei, I’ve already made it very clear that we shouldn’t see each other anymore, we have nothing to do with each other, so why do you keep bothering me?”
“My name isn’t Gao Xiaomei, it’s Gao Yina,”
she shouted, staring at me for a while before saying, “Chen Haoyan, we just slept together last night, and you’re telling me today that we have nothing to do with each other? How can you say something like that?”
I couldn’t look her in the eye and turned my head away, wondering if she was clinging to me now.
Gao Yina continued, “People say that men forget their partners after they’ve had their way with them, I didn’t expect you to be one of those people.”
“Have you been with many men?” I looked at her.
“No! I was just saying.” She said irritably, then suddenly laughed, “Are you jealous?”
“How could I?” I immediately denied it.
“Still not admitting it? It’s written all over your face!” she laughed again.
I had to admit to myself that she was right. That day she told me that she was willing to sell her virginity for a man she had a crush on, and I was incredibly jealous. I thought to myself, such a captivating beauty like her must have had more than just those two men before me, right?
I sneered, "With so many men you've been with, how could I possibly be jealous of them all?"
She stared at me blankly and said, "What did you say?"
I sneered again, "Isn't that right? The man you sold your virginity to, the man who bought your virginity, the man who kept you, and maybe one or even N men I don't know about, right?"
Her tears instantly streamed down her face. "Chen Haoyan, let me tell you, anyone can say that about me, but not you."
My heart softened instantly, but I still hardened my heart and said, "Gao Xiaomei..."
"Gao Yina!" she glared at me with tears in her eyes and shouted.
"Fine, Gao Yina..." I said, "You're a woman, don't you have any self-respect? Can't you see how much I hate you?"
"Haoyan, do you really hate me?" Gao Yina's eyes were filled with tears. "Why? Just because of what happened thirteen years ago?"
"Isn't that enough?" I glared at her angrily.
Tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away, choking back sobs, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do so you won't hate me?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, my heart almost melted. But at that moment, I only wanted to hurt her, to make her disappear from my life completely.
"No matter what you do, I hate you! Like..." I stared into her pitiful, tearful eyes, forcing myself to say the most hurtful words, "I hate you like a fly buzzing around me, I hate you!"
Gao Yina cried uncontrollably, staring at me with disbelief, shaking her head repeatedly.
Finally, she looked away, wiping her tears, then looked back at me, still weeping. "Fine, Chen Haoyan, from today onwards, I will never appear before you again."
She turned and ran, wiping away tears as she went. At that moment, I really wanted to call her back, to go and embrace her.
But I remained motionless, watching her walk further and further away.
I sighed inwardly, and as soon as I turned around, I froze. Zhao Bingjie was watching me from a short distance away, her gaze resentful.
"Bingjie..." I murmured.
She gave me another resentful look, then turned and ran into the inpatient building.
That afternoon in the ward, Zhao Bingjie barely spoke a word to me. Around four o'clock, she took Bao'er home.
That evening, after helping An Minting wash up in the bathroom, I helped her into bed.
When she lay down, the top button of her pajamas was undone, and she wasn't wearing a bra. Through the gap, I could see half of her snow-white, round breasts from my vantage point. Although not as large as Jiang Meiyun's or Gao Yina's, they were still full and firm enough.
"Haoyan, I don't want to sleep yet. Can you talk to me for a bit?" An Minting said, leaning against the bed.
I released the handle that was cranking the headboard height adjustment, sat down on the edge of the bed, and smiled, "Sure!"
"Um, Miss Gao, is there really nothing between you and her?" An Minting asked.
I decided to tell her the truth. "She was one of my former students. I left my hometown because of her."
"Really?" An Minting asked, somewhat surprised. She already knew why I left my hometown for Shenzhen.
I told An Minting about my recent reunion with Gao Yina and how we spent time together, but I concealed the fact that I slept with Gao Yina.
After listening, An Minting said, "Haoyan, she's trying to make it up to you."
She paused and then said, "Perhaps she really likes you, but some girls are easily driven by a desire to compensate and will take the initiative to do things that cross the line between men and women. I hope you understand." I nodded and said,
"I understand."
She smiled and said, "Haoyan, I'm telling you this not because I want to pry into your private affairs, but because Meiyun and I are best friends, and we're very good friends too, you understand?"
I nodded again and smiled at her, "Yes, I understand... It's getting late, let's go to sleep?"
I got up and turned the control handle at the foot of the bed.
“Haoyan…” An Minting called softly.
I looked up at her.
“Do you… still love Meiyun?”
Yes! Do I still love Jiang Meiyun? I think I do, right? Even though she had an affair, I still hoped she would change her mind, just for our past love and for my guilt towards her.
“Yes!” I smiled slightly, nodded to An Minting, and continued to turn the control handle.
She kept looking at me, thinking to herself, “You silly man, Jiang Meiyun treated you like that, and you still love her?”
But I couldn’t hear her.
