Li Yan, who was driving to Wen Qianyi's residence, sneezed a few times on the way, making him feel a bit embarrassed. It was just that he slept on the floor last night, and yet he was sneezing. Is he really getting old?

Meanwhile, at Wen Qianyi's home, Yu Xiaodi almost fainted after listening to her. She looked at Wen Qianyi with an incredulous expression.

"Teacher Wen... I find you too wicked! Just because Li Yan and I are going to the hospital, you guessed that I'm going to have an abortion for him..." After being speechless for a while, Yu Xiaodi sighed.

Wen Qianyi snorted lightly, "For no reason, you go for a check-up and want Li Yan to accompany you, and then you don't dare and come to me. If I believed you were just going for a check-up, wouldn't my meals be wasted? Considering your current situation, doesn't it seem like you're going for an abortion but are scared and worried that Li Yan might oppose it?"

Yu Xiaodi smiled bitterly, "Alright, compared to your heavy taste, Sister Wen, I admit I'm still a child... But it's really not the case. If I had known you'd guess this way, I might as well have told you myself!"

"So you're not going for an abortion, are you checking if you're pregnant?"

Wen Qianyi, of course, didn't believe that Li Yan and Yu Xiaodi's relationship was still pure. After all, even she, who was so well-defended, was flirted with, kissed, and tricked into bed by him, although nothing happened. In Beihai Country, when he was with Matsushima Kui and Shinohara Mirai, she wouldn't believe nothing happened. Could someone like him resist a beautiful female college student chasing after him without any feelings or actions?

A cat presented with a fish wouldn't refrain from eating it, would it?

Yu Xiaodi lay back on the sofa and sighed, "Oh, Teacher Wen, now I truly realize how scary time is! Back in the day, you were such a pure and sweet girl, and now you talk about pregnancy and abortion so casually. The change is too big; my dear Teacher Wen... is gone forever!"

"Get out of here! You little girl, what are you doing waxing poetic at such a young age? Hurry up and sort out your own little mess!" Wen Qianyi playfully scolded.

Xiaodi sat up again and earnestly said, "Sister Wen, I might as well be honest with you. Actually, between Li Yan and me... he's never slept with me."

"..." Wen Qianyi was a bit surprised.

"You might not believe it, but yes, I'm willing. If he wants me, I'm ready anytime because I already feel that he's the one I love the most now. My whole being belongs to him. During times when I had the chance, I even hinted, expressed explicitly, or even took the initiative. But he always restrained himself..." Yu Xiaodi gave a bitter smile, "Am I very much a failure?"

Wen Qianyi listened attentively, and her mind was almost processing the information at the same time. She sighed, "No... this is different from what I thought, very different."

"Hmm..."

"What I mean is, I've always thought you were just playing around. I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings. Similarly, I thought Li Yan was just fooling around. So just now, from your words and reactions, I assumed he was only caring about his own pleasure with you, not taking precautions. I was very angry for you. I didn't expect... he loves you so deeply." Wen Qianyi was a bit lost in thought. At this moment, Li Yan's image seemed a bit different to her, but this change for her...

"Hmm?"

Yu Xiaodi was surprised, "Why would you say that? Even when I took the initiative, he wouldn't sleep with me. Isn't it because I'm not attractive enough? Or is it because he doesn't like me enough? Why would you say he loves me deeply?"

Wen Qianyi came to her senses and smiled, "What kind of person do you think Li Yan is? Isn't he a bit of a flirt, giving the impression of being somewhat promiscuous?"

Yu Xiaodi thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "He is a flirt. Although I haven't seen or heard of anything specific, I think what you're saying makes sense. But why, when he obviously wants to, doesn't he with me? Could it be he has desires but no guts?"

In her heart, she knew the crux of the problem, and Li Yan himself had mentioned it. It's because he has a wife! And even now, he hasn't been able to make a decision, can't promise her a future, so he doesn't want to hurt her. But she wanted to hear Wen Qianyi's opinion, as bystanders see more clearly, maybe she could see the situation more clearly.

"A mature woman can produce only one egg per month, whereas a mature man produces sperm in quantities that need to be measured in billions. So from a physiological standpoint, men are inherently more lustful than women! Or say more easily driven by sexual desire. Of course, generally, people have lustful thoughts without the guts to act because they need to consider the heavy consequences, but if it's delivered to their doorstep and he doesn't have to take responsibility, like you, a silly girl, not many men can resist, they all...will discuss it later."

"Discuss it later?"

Casually, Wen Qianyi, who was bold, felt embarrassed to explain to Xiaodi's inquisitiveness, "It's just that they'll act on impulse first, and consider the rest later. Many classic love stories that are told widely happened like this, but everyone portrays the love aspect and intentionally ignores this part. Not to mention the dashing male protagonists, even the cowherd who is said to be honest and simple, is different? He peeked at someone bathing, stole their clothes, and in the end, took her, making the Weaver Girl pregnant first...it's actually the epitome of a lustful man, and the Weaver Girl was indeed victimized."

Yu Xiaodi felt a bit embarrassed, "Well... There's no love in the Celestial Palace, if not for the cowherd, how could the Weaver Girl taste the sweetness of love? Including experiencing womanhood, motherhood..."

"Hey! Who said there's no love in the Celestial Palace, and that everything is ugly? It's concocted by humans! For example, if a group of modern girls went for a tour in the primeval forest, and while bathing, were peeped on by a native from some primitive tribe, and one of them even had her clothes stolen and was forced to stay, giving birth to a child, and later a modern rescue team finally saved the girl who was already a woman. Would you still think it's a beautiful love story? Maybe those primitive tribes would say that the place where the girl originally lived was ugly and had no love, and that being victimized by the native men was the true beautiful love... Humph! It's all glorifying men's lust and desires!"

Listening to Wen Qianyi's narrative, Yu Xiaodi felt that there was some truth to her words from a female perspective, but since Li Yan was coming soon, she would listen to her story analysis later. "Oh... So you're saying that Li Yan not sleeping with me is actually for my good?"

"Whether it's for your good, or whether you feel it's good, is a subjective view. But objectively, at least he's being responsible to you; without a promise, or feeling unable to match your status, and having no future prospects, so he's not harming your body, that's responsible. Actually... in this era, girls your age mostly aren't even responsible for themselves, so Li Yan being able to hold back, I think, is quite commendable."

Yu Xiaodi shrugged, "I feel I love him, giving myself to him is a beautiful thing, it's being responsible for myself."

"That's only for now, or if you stay with him forever. What if you break up later? Although many men nowadays don't have a virginity complex, if their wife is a virgin, she will definitely be more cherished, and their relationship will be better. You can feel love is a beautiful memory, even if it's not everlasting, but why must love be tied to sex? On the contrary, many people often have deeper memories of their first love, even if there was no sex involved, or not even a kiss. Like, can Li Yan forget that Qiao Huanxuan? It's very difficult; did they sleep together when they were in middle school? Very likely not.

So, you don't need to be like some girls nowadays who feel ashamed of being virgins, maintaining yourself earns more respect from your lover. Li Yan is being responsible for you, and you also have to be responsible for yourself."

Wen Qianyi tirelessly instilled her beliefs about "sex" and "love," even though her views might not align with the current trends among girls, might even seem outdated, but she felt that if Xiaodi could accept them, it wouldn't harm her, and would certainly be beneficial.

Yu Xiaodi nodded with understanding and felt there was some truth in Wen Qianyi's words. Knowing Li Yan's gentle refusal was actually a sign of love lifted her spirits.

"Anyway, talking about Li Yan's matters, how did we get to this topic?" They had been talking for a while, and she no longer felt the initial awkwardness upon arriving, and could straightforwardly state the help she needed: "Sister Wen, actually today I'm looking for your help, including going to the hospital, not for me, but for Li Yan!"

Wen Qianyi was surprised but then laughed: "Didn't you say I always talk about pregnancy and abortion? To not disappoint you, I have to ask, is Li Yan pregnant?"

Yu Xiaodi was amused by her but quickly started speaking seriously, "It's like this, a few days ago, Li Yan suddenly experienced a situation where he was trembling all over, having spasms..."

She recounted Zhang Yurong's description, and as she spoke, she seemed to see Li Yan's pained look, and she shivered slightly. "When he regained consciousness, he couldn't remember what happened. I'm very worried he might have some hidden ailment. Men care about their image; if you say he's sick and needs a check-up, he definitely won't agree. So I said I needed a medical exam and he agreed to accompany me, but I'm afraid he'll back out once we reach the hospital. I can't persuade him, so I thought he might listen to you more, which is why I'm asking for your help!"

Wen Qianyi quietly listened to Yu Xiaodi's account, outwardly calm, but inside, waves were crashing! She recalled a secret Li Yan once divulged to her when he was in Beihai Country: I'm actually an assassin...

If it were an ordinary person, upon hearing such a description, she might first comfort them, then help them imagine solutions, and then agree to accompany them for a check-up. But since it involved Li Yan, she couldn't stay calm; she knew for sure it wasn't just about a potential hidden ailment, there was definitely an issue! Perhaps it was post-traumatic stress from when he killed people, perhaps it was aftereffects of past severe injuries... no matter the cause, none were optimistic!

Moreover, Li Yan definitely couldn't be made aware of it; otherwise, he would certainly resist the examination, might even flee to avoid letting Xiaodi find out the secret, potentially leaving!
