There is no doubt that Fang Yanliang is the protagonist of this classmate gathering.

　　All the gazes focused on him also fell on me.

　　In those gazes, there was curiosity, astonishment, and envy, but not the contempt I was afraid of.

　　It was as if he and I were meant to be together.

　　I accompanied him, accepting the teasing and blessings from everyone, gradually feeling less nervous than when I arrived.

　　After eating and drinking, Fang Yanliang was still chatting with his classmates.

　　I pulled his tightly held hand and whispered, 'I'm going to the restroom.' 'Okay.' He let go.

　　The restroom was empty.

　　When I came out, there was a tall and beautiful woman standing next to the sink, Zhou Ruoyun.

　　It seemed like she was waiting for me."

　　I felt an unexplained panic in my heart, so I pretended to be calm and went forward to wash my hands.

　　She suddenly said, "I came to apologize to you." "What?" "I deliberately asked you in front of Fang Yanliang if you liked him." I was stunned for a moment.

　　"Because I knew you wouldn't admit it," she smiled, "You thought you were not good enough for him, right?" I felt a chill down my spine, "Why did you do this?" "Because I also like him." "Then why only me...

　　I wanted to ask this, but I didn't say it, and she answered anyway.

　　"I saw him putting brown sugar water in your drawer in the empty classroom during PE class." I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word.

　　"It was a despicable trick, so I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say.

　　She was indeed wrong, but ultimately, the problem was my own weakness.

　　"You match with him." She said, "Now that he's a big star, as his girlfriend, you will definitely face a lot of criticism.

　　Don't doubt yourself like before.

　　I wish you both happiness." I vaguely understood why she came to talk to me today.

　　Since the exposure of photos of me and Fang Yanliang, there have been some discordant voices online.

　　They all implied that I was too ordinary and not deserving of the radiant Fang Yanliang.

　　I couldn't argue because I also felt it was the truth.

　　My inferiority and weakness once again haunted me.

　　I tried to adjust, not wanting to let this emotion devour me, but I was still disturbed by it.

　　Now I understand that I like Fang Yanliang, and I have already retreated once.

　　I can't retreat for the second time.

　　I walked back to the hall, pretending everything was normal.

　　Fang Yanliang glanced at me and somehow sensed that something was wrong.

　　He led me back to the room.

　　He helped me sit on the sofa, squatted beside me, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" I shook my head.

　　He looked concerned, and I inexplicably thought about all those years when he liked me but thought I liked someone else.

　　I whispered, "Isn't unrequited love bitter?" He remained silent.

　　I continued, "Let's not separate for the rest of our lives, okay?" He nodded, "But you have to tell me what happened first." "There's really nothing." In his worried eyes, I made a promise, "No matter what happens, I will bravely love you in the future." "You don't need to be brave," he said, "Your love for me is enough." He embraced me and made a promise even more solemn than mine, "I will always protect you." He lightly kissed the top of my head, and tenderness spread throughout the room.

　　[Extra] 1: Recently, a rumor has spread on the internet saying that Fang Yanliang and I have broken up.

　　In fact, ever since our relationship was exposed, there have been rumors from time to time saying that we have broken up.

　　On the other hand, there were also rumors saying that we have gotten married.

　　Even though we were just quietly dating, keeping a low profile, we couldn't escape the active imaginations of netizens.

　　Numerous breakups and reconciliations.

　　This breakup was spread with evidence, all because of a photo.

　　The background of the photo was blurred, but Fang Yanliang and Ruan He were clearly visible.

　　They were close to each other, their eyes met, and there was a hint of ambiguity.

　　The photo implied that Fang Yanliang had dumped me and had gotten involved with Ruan He.

　　Regarding this, Fang Yanliang's explanation to me is that the variety show behind-the-scenes photo needs to restore a certain scene from a movie, and it was captured by fans.

　　I expressed understanding and accepted it generously.

　　However, Fang Yanliang became unhappy.

　　He trapped me in his arms and whispered, "Do you not care about me anymore?" "Of course not, I care about you," I replied.

　　"Then why don't you have any reaction?" Having been in a relationship with Fang Yanliang for so long, I gradually understood his temperament.

　　So I intentionally said, "How could I dare to react?" I looked at him timidly, "It's already good enough for me that you are with me.

　　I wouldn't dare to ask for anything else.

　　A man who goes home is a good man." Fang Yanliang's expression suddenly turned unpleasant.

　　I laughed and said, "Okay, I was just teasing you." But he remained serious and said, "You shouldn't think like that, do you know?" I nodded fiercely.

　　He continued, "Don't listen to those comments, there's no such thing as being deserving or not.

　　You are the best in the world." Fang Yanliang deeply understood my weakness and had always been rescuing me from my profound self-doubt.

　　Suddenly, I regretted teasing him earlier and sincerely replied, "I really know, I won't hesitate anymore." "That's good," he said.

　　Suddenly, he smiled triumphantly, "But now you don't have a chance to hesitate." That day, Fang Yanliang responded to the rumors of breaking up by posting two bright red wedding certificate photos on Weibo.

　　These were his only public displays of affection, and he chose to pin them to the top.

　　The caption read: "Now it's really 57." 2: In my second year of work, the company assigned me two interns.

　　The two girls are currently in their senior year of college, diligent and eager to learn.

　　We were very happy during the mentoring process and would often meet up for meals and shopping.

　　That day, we happened to pass by the movie theater and they suggested watching a movie.

　　I looked at the large poster of Fang Yanliang's new movie hanging on the wall and silently nodded.

　　While being in a relationship and married to Fang Yanliang, I was still able to hide among the crowd, thanks to Fang Yanliang's discreet protection during our relationship.

　　The pictures of me that still circulate on the internet are the few that were exposed at the beginning.

　　Either I am wearing a hat or only the enlarged mosquito bite on my face is visible.

　　All physical characteristics are hard to identify with a specific person.

　　Everyone only knows that Fang Yanliang has an ordinary wife, but they don't know who that ordinary wife really is.

　　Although this doesn't prevent people from criticizing me for being ordinary, I have learned to calmly accept it.

　　In the theater, the familiar opening music of the movie played.

　　I focused my attention and immersed myself in the film.

　　Two hours went by quickly.

　　After the movie, while having a meal, they were still exclaiming, "Fang Yanliang is so handsome.

　　I envy his wife; she must be so happy looking at his face every day!" Although I don't see it every day, I am indeed very happy.

　　I nodded and agreed, "Yes." They continued discussing Fang Yanliang's handsomeness, and just as I was about to join in, my phone on the table suddenly lit up.

　　The caller ID showed "5f." Feeling guilty, I glanced at them and quietly answered, "Hello." "Wife, where are you?" His voice was hoarse from just waking up, making my whole body tingle.

　　I silently replied, "Heart's Delight Mall." "I will come to pick you up," he said.

　　I hurriedly declined.

　　This person has been busy flying all over the country recently, hardly resting.

　　Now that he's finally done, I want him to have a good rest.

　　But he insisted, "Seeing you is the only way I can rest."

　　"I felt a sense of sweetness.

　　Knowing that Fang Yanliang was coming to pick me up, I couldn't contain my excitement.

　　The two girls noticed that something was off and asked me what was wrong.

　　I said, 'I have to leave soon.' 'No problem, it's not early anyway, we should go home too.' The three of us went down to the parking lot together.

　　I was searching for Fang Yanliang's car based on the landmarks when I heard a short exclamation from the girl beside me.

　　I looked up and caught a glimpse of a figure hiding in the car.

　　The girl said, 'It looks like Fang Yanliang.' Another one said, 'Not sure, let's take a closer look.' That figure hiding in the car was almost invisible now.

　　I felt somewhat distressed.

　　Fang Yanliang had mentioned wanting to meet my colleagues and envied those who could bring their spouses to the company annual dinner.

　　He said he wanted to stand by my side and proudly introduce himself as my husband.

　　But I didn't dare to agree rashly with this role.

　　However, at this moment, I really wanted to do it.

　　That figure hiding in the car was truly heartbreaking.

　　I silently walked up to the car, opened the door, and held Fang Yanliang's hand, pulling him out of the car.

　　The two girls were speechless with astonishment.

　　I felt somewhat embarrassed, but I confidently introduced, 'Sorry for keeping it a secret for so long, it wasn't intentional.

　　Um, actually, this is my husband.' Fang Yanliang waved and said, 'Hi, nice to meet you.' Until we parted ways, I could still feel the excitement and happiness of the two girls upon meeting Fang Yanliang.

　　As Fang Yanliang drove and asked me, 'Why did you suddenly want to introduce me to them?' I said, 'I suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore.' 'Oh.' There was happiness hidden in his words.

　　Then I asked, 'Did your haute couture arrive this year?' 'Yeah, so what?' 'It seems suitable to wear it to the company annual dinner.' 'Is it mine or yours?' Without missing the mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth, I earnestly said, 'Of course it's mine.' He smiled and replied, 'Then it's even more suitable.' 3: I'm pregnant.

　　I looked back at the past few months of my intoxicated and dreamy life, feeling somewhat tearful.

　　Fang Yanliang had just finished filming a movie and had several months of free time.

　　He always stayed at home and accompanied me.

　　Being apart for a short while felt like a honeymoon phase again, and we couldn't help but be close to each other.

　　However, sometimes, we would get too carried away and forget about certain things that were important at the moment.

　　And so...

　　I won a lottery.

　　The report showed that I was pregnant, two months along.

　　Who could have imagined that I only went to the hospital because of dizziness and nausea and ended up discovering a child? I sighed.

　　I felt conflicted about how to tell Fang Yanliang about this.

　　He was off filming again, and I didn't know how long it would take this time.

　　I thought that I had to tell him about the pregnancy as soon as possible.

　　Otherwise, by the time he finished filming and returned, the child would already be big, and what would that mean? In order not to affect his filming schedule, I decided to visit the set.

　　When I arrived at the airport on the earliest flight, his assistant Xiao Lin was already there.

　　I asked, 'You didn't tell him that I'm coming, did you?' 'Not yet,' she smirked, 'I know you want to surprise him, so how could I spoil it in advance.' I pursed my lips, it wasn't really about surprising him.

　　With the assistant leading the way, we smoothly arrived at the film set.

　　The timing was perfect, Fang Yanliang happened to be filming."

　　Xiao Lin arranged the best seat for me to watch the play.

　　As soon as I looked, I realized it was a kissing scene.

　　The famous director was giving instructions to the actress, while Fang Yanliang stood by the side, looking handsome from every angle.

　　Xiao Lin, afraid that I would misunderstand, explained, "This scene only has one kiss." "No problem," I replied.

　　"I am not jealous to that extent." But before I finished speaking, I was slapped.

　　It was mainly because of morning sickness, something that I couldn't control.

　　There were a lot of people, and the smell was overwhelming.

　　An irritating scent kept entering my nasal cavity non-stop.

　　I tried putting on a mask, but it didn't help.

　　I felt nauseous.

　　Fang Yanliang and the actress were about to kiss, and I was afraid of throwing up in public, so I quickly left the scene.

　　But unexpectedly, there was a loud "puke" sound, shocking everyone! I was stunned.

　　The crew fell silent.

　　Everyone looked at me.

　　Fang Yanliang had already recognized me and walked towards me.

　　I nervously explained to everyone, "Uh, the kissing scene was great, really beautiful.

　　I'm not throwing up because of that...puke!" I bent down, covering my mouth, and closed my eyes in silence.

　　After thinking it over, what I feared the most was the headline: "Fang Yanliang's wife shows up on set and throws up upon seeing him kiss the actress." I silently muttered, "Morning sickness, please understand." Everyone burst into laughter for a moment.

　　Fang Yanliang had approached, emanating a fragrance.

　　Just as he was about to come closer, I couldn't help it and vomited in front of him again.

　　This made everyone laugh even louder.

　　I was truly embarrassed, so I hurriedly left the scene.

　　Fang Yanliang chased after me and brought me to his dressing room.

　　It took a while for the waves of morning sickness to subside.

　　I slowly sipped warm water, still feeling extremely awkward.

　　Fang Yanliang had taken off his coat, sniffed himself, and asked, "Can I come closer now?" "Just stand there if you have something to say," I thought, feeling mortified.

　　"Are you really pregnant?" he asked after a moment of silence, his face displaying mixed emotions.

　　Finally, he said, "What should we do? The baby just arrived and already saw me being intimate with another actress.

　　I hope she doesn't despise me." "No, it's the baby's self-protection mechanism," I replied.

　　"After all, that scene of yours is not appropriate for children." I managed to make him laugh, and he slowly sat down beside me, embracing my shoulder.

　　"Are you jealous?" he asked.

　　I shook my head.

　　He laughed again and said, "I don't think anyone would believe that now." "...I remembered my embarrassed expression from earlier and wished a hole would appear so I could crawl into it.

　　Frustrated, I said, "Can I even explain myself properly? Should I apologize to the actress? Morning sickness, it's really...uncontrollable!" "Hahaha," he laughed heartily, kissed my forehead, and said confidently, "It's okay, I will go explain it later." Later on, I found out that Fang Yanliang didn't explain anything at all.

　　In fact, he used this incident as an excuse to refuse filming intimate scenes, since he had a wife who would vomit upon seeing them.

　　I said, "..."

　　4: I gave birth to a daughter named Fang Ruxu, nicknamed Dingdang.

　　Fang Yanliang, of course, couldn't resist joining the trend of sharing baby photos on social media.

　　It actually went through a gradual process.

　　At first, Fang Yanliang only shared photos of our daughter's tiny feet on Weibo, letting his fans know about her healthy birth.

　　Who knows that the fans are very supportive, and they can praise countless variations of small feet, touching Fang Yanliang's heart.

　　The old father became infatuated, immediately liking this behavior of sharing children's photos on Weibo.

　　Most of the photos shared are of chubby little hands and tender feet.

　　But no matter what he posts, the fans are very supportive, inadvertently fueling Fang Yanliang's trend of sharing children's photos.

　　Every time he sees the comments, he would show off to me, saying, "Look, everyone says that Dangdang is cute." I really...

　　don't want to pay attention to him.

　　As his daughter grows older, Fang Yanliang would post some secretly taken photos of her back.

　　The little girl is pretty and cute, attracting teasing comments calling him "father-in-law" in the comment section.

　　At this time, Fang Yanliang would not let it slide anymore.

　　Whenever he sees such comments, he always replies with a sentence: "Who is your father-in-law!" He replies every time.

　　In fact, he is not a person who usually replies to fan comments.

　　Gradually, the fans also catch on and, in order to get a response from him, regardless of gender, everyone calls him "father-in-law".

　　Sometimes, in the comment section, out of ten comments, eight would be shouting that.

　　Fang Yanliang was so angry that he didn't post photos of his daughter for several months.

　　It's not intentional, actually.

　　He has been filming outside for the past few months and haven't seen his daughter.

　　The photos and videos he holds are all the ones I sent to him.

　　After a long silence, the atmosphere in the comment section gradually changed.

　　It transformed from a screen full of "father-in-law" to a calling for the return of the child-sharing blogger.

　　The child-sharing blogger finally responded to the numerous calls and arrogantly shared a photo of a little backpack with the words: "The child is going to kindergarten, there is privacy now, I won't share anymore in the future." The comment section was full of weeping sounds.

　　I looked at the man's smug smile and silently thought, could this man's immaturity be inherited by his daughter?
