The moment Hu Qian emerged from the airport pulling her suitcase, Yi Anguo spotted her and waved.

Hu Qian looked just like her older sister, and they were about the same height, both standing a little over 1.7 meters tall. In a city like Shenzhen, where southerners were the majority, a girl of her height was considered quite statuesque. She stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens, drawing extra attention. Combined with her youthful beauty, she was even more striking.

As soon as Hu Qian walked out of the terminal, she quickly saw Yi Anguo waving at her. At that exact moment, however, a man blocked her path.

"Hey, pretty lady! You're not from around here, are you? I'm a Shenzhen local. We should get to know each other. How about we become friends?"

"Sorry, my boyfriend is here to pick me up!" Hu Qian said, shaking her head hurriedly as she quickened her pace toward Yi Anguo.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Xiao Qian! Welcome home!" Yi Anguo said with a smile.

"Where's my sister? Why didn't she come to pick me up?" Hu Qian asked, looking around for Hu Jing.

"Your sister is busy with work, so she sent me. Isn't that enough?" Yi Anguo asked.

"If she didn't come, so be it. It's not like she ever thinks about me, her little sister. She doesn't care about me at all. You're still the best to me, Brother-in-law," Hu Qian said, sounding a little hurt.

"What was going on just now? Why did that man stop you? Do you know him? Is he your boyfriend?" Yi Anguo asked, having clearly seen the encounter.

"I don't know him," Hu Qian said, shaking her head. "Just some guy who took one look at me and decided he wanted me as his girlfriend."

"Come on. Let's get in the car and leave the airport first," Yi Anguo said, taking Hu Qian's suitcase from her.

"Wow! Is this your new car? It's so cool!" Hu Qian exclaimed upon seeing it. "This wasn't cheap, was it?"

"It's not that expensive. Once you graduate and open your own clinic or hospital, you'll easily earn enough to buy a car like this," Yi Anguo said as he got in, fastened his seatbelt, and started the engine.

Being a doctor was a pretty good profession. Making money wasn't an issue, and if one ran their own clinic or hospital, it was even less of a concern.

"It's not as easy as you make it sound," Hu Qian replied. "Just graduating from university isn't enough to open my own clinic or hospital. I need to get my master's degree and then my doctorate. Only then could I maybe think about opening my own practice. Besides, no matter how much you study, you still have to go through internships and gain years of clinical experience. Then you have to work your way up until you become an attending physician in a department before you're even qualified to open your own clinic."

Yi Anguo nodded, driving as he spoke. "Then after you graduate from university, go get your master's and your doctorate. After that, find a hospital to slowly build up your experience, work your way up to attending physician, then specialist, and then you can go out and open your own clinic or hospital. Don't worry about the tuition; your brother-in-law can still afford that much."

"But by the time I'm qualified to be a doctor and open my own clinic, I'll be old! I'm starting to regret even going to medical school," Hu Qian said dejectedly.

"So what if you're old? Who can stay young forever?" Yi Anguo laughed.

"By the time I'm old, I won't be able to get married anymore," Hu Qian said glumly.

"Studying for your master's and doctorate won't stop you from dating and getting married," Yi Anguo said. "There's no rule that says graduate students can't fall in love and get married. Even for undergraduates, a woman has the legal right to marry once she turns twenty!"

「...」

After bringing Hu Qian home, Yi Anguo was about to leave, but she grabbed him, refusing to let him go.

"Brother-in-law! I just got home, and you're not even going to keep me company? You're leaving so soon? We haven't seen each other in so long, did you not miss me at all?"

"I did! When did I say I didn't? You just got back and must be tired from your trip. I was just thinking you should get some rest," Yi Anguo said with a smile.

"You're lying! You big liar!" Hu Qian pouted. "You clearly didn't miss me at all, and you don't even like me. You can't even stand to be with me for a little while longer."

"Alright, alright! I'll stay here with you. Happy now?" Yi Anguo said, exasperated.

"That's more like it," Hu Qian said, her mood instantly brightening. "You sit on the sofa and watch some TV. I'm going to take a shower. I'm boiling hot and drenched in sweat."

"Now that you mention it, I feel like I've worked up a sweat too. I didn't dare sit in the air-conditioned car while waiting for you at the airport, afraid I might miss you."

"Then you should go shower too. There's a bathroom in your and my sister's room, after all," Hu Qian said.

Waiting for Hu Qian at the airport had indeed left Yi Anguo sweating quite a bit. In Shenzhen's July heat, being outside for just a few minutes was enough to leave one drenched. It was sweltering. Yi Anguo kept plenty of spare clothes at the apartment, so rinsing off was no trouble at all.

They both headed off to shower. Yi Anguo, of course, used the ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom, leaving Hu Qian to use the guest bathroom.

After his shower, Yi Anguo emerged wearing a pair of loose shorts and a large, round-collared cotton T-shirt. At home, comfort was key. If Hu Qian hadn't been there, on a hot day like this, he would have come out of a cool shower shirtless, showing off his muscles and saving a little on the electricity bill by not having to set the air conditioner so low.

A short while later, Hu Qian came out of her shower, also dressed lightly in a white camisole and white shorts. She looked almost criminally seductive. As she drew closer, she brought with her the pleasant scent of shower gel. More importantly, Yi Anguo noticed that she was braless underneath her top. Isn't this deadly?

"COUGH! Xiao Qian, if your sister comes home and sees you dressed like that, she won't let you off the hook," Yi Anguo reminded her kindly.

"What's wrong with how I'm dressed? I'm finally home. After a shower, shouldn't I relax however I want?" As she spoke, Hu Qian walked right up to Yi Anguo, straddled his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Are you that scared of my sister?"

"It's not fear, it's respect!" Yi Anguo said quickly. "If you keep this up, I'm really leaving!"

"Didn't you say you like me, that you missed me very much?" Hu Qian whispered, her breath sweet.

"I do like you, but I like you as a younger sister, because you're Hu Jing's sister," Yi Anguo explained.

"Really? Then how do you explain this?" Hu Qian asked, shifting suggestively on his lap.

"That's just a man's natural physiological reaction!" Yi Anguo argued. "A beautiful young woman dressed so revealingly is sitting on my lap and hugging my neck. How could I not have a reaction? I'm not a eunuch."

Hu Qian suddenly leaned forward, planting a kiss on each of his cheeks before finally pressing her lips to his.

Yi Anguo couldn't control himself any longer and wrapped his arms around her...

After they finally broke apart, Hu Qian asked, "Now then, do you still like me like a sister?"

"That was just a defensive reflex," Yi Anguo said, his face flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment. "You'd better behave yourself, or you won't be able to handle the consequences. Are you really willing to throw away your relationship with your sister over this?"
