"Miss Emmy, you're the best—could I maybe skip my medicine today?"
Even though I laugh easily, it doesn't stop me from being cute and playful.
And that medicine is so bitter—it always gets stuck in my throat.
Such a hassle.
"Cuteness and playfulness won't work."
Emmy has a cold, unyielding expression, no matter how much I plead, she won't let me off the hook.
Me: Feeling wronged, sob...
Alright, it's just medicine, I'll take it!
Under Emmy's watchful eye, I successfully swallowed a handful of pills—and today they didn't even get stuck in my throat!
That's great.
After confirming that I'd taken my medicine, Nurse Emmy left the ward.
The elderly man in the next bed quickly pulled back the curtain and handed me a candy. "Vivie, eat this candy to cover the taste."
I took it, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in my mouth—the sweet flavor instantly overpowered the bitterness of the medicine.
So sweet.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Everyone in our ward hates the bitterness, and Grandpa has the most candies.
Every time after taking my medicine, he always sneaks a handful of candies to me when Nurse isn't looking.
Those were the sweetest things I've ever tasted.
I took out my phone again, intending to keep watching videos, but it kept vibrating nonstop.
Guess what I saw.
Oh wow, our long-dormant university group had over 99 unread messages!
I checked, and it turned out it was about April getting married.
Well, I thought it must be something major.
"Is that April in the video?"
Someone posted a screenshot in the group.
"It looks just like him."
"You can't be serious—April got married? When did that happen?"
"Why didn't April tell us?"
...
I couldn't help but let out a whistle as I scrolled through the messages in the chat group.
How unbrotherly of April, not inviting his old classmates to his wedding?
Tsk tsk tsk, a few years without seeing each other, and he's forgotten his old classmates.
I scrolled some more, and the group was full of messages expressing surprise at April's marriage.
I bet if it weren't for a classmate spotting his wedding video, we wouldn't have known.
Well, typical of April to forget his buddies now that he has a wife.
Not very brotherly, simply not brotherly at all!
Maybe it was wishful thinking, but the main character of the video finally showed up, and I saw a familiar avatar online.
My finger paused on the screen as I stopped scrolling.
"Yeah, I got married today."
Those simple words caused an explosion of reactions below.
I subconsciously wanted to scroll away, but my finger wouldn't move, staying fixed on the message screen.
"Wow, April is actually online."
"April, when did this happen? You didn't even tell us?"
"Just as we said, if it weren't for the wedding video, we wouldn't have known."
"April didn't say anything because he didn't want his wife to meet us, right?"
"Hey, what does his wife look like? I didn't see her just now."
"Just as we said, now that he's married, he can't hide her forever."
...
Messages kept coming, burying April's message.
I scrolled through the screen, trying to get back to where April had sent his message.
But there were too many messages; I couldn't scroll back.
All I could do was watch as the group messages were dominated by the word "wife."
Tsk tsk tsk, after all this time, that guy April still has such a huge following.
What's going on? I'm actually a little jealous.
But I have to admit, April really is blessed.
He got married right after graduating from university, and he also had a beautiful ex-girlfriend like me.
Ha ha ha, just being vain for a moment.
