Felicity was stunned, and a sharp scream followed. "Ahhh! Your butt is on fire!"Vermont was confused. Then, he felt the heat on his buttocks after a few seconds. He turned around and saw a tall flame burning on his shorts.He quickly jumped off the sofa, took off his burning shorts, and threw them aside in a swift motion.Felicity saw it and quickly walked over to stomp on the shorts, putting out the flame.She still felt a lingering sense of shock. When she turned around and was about to ask Vermont if he was burned, she saw him standing beside the sofa naked while wrapping her blanket around his waist.Felicity's eyes widened as she glowered at him and said, "What are you doing with my blanket?!"Vermont tied a knot with it and swept his gaze across her. "Do you prefer to see me naked then?"The imagination of Vermont's naked body flashed across her mind as she blushed and kept her mouth shut.Then, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why aren't you wearing underwear?"Vermont
Felicity hurried to the elevator and, seeing it was empty, brought the cardboard box into the house.Upon reentering, she found Vermont limping out of the bathroom.Setting the box down, she asked, "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"Vermont, gripping a chair for support, replied with a pale face, "Not so good."Felicity's expression was more distressed than Vermont's. She knew she had caused significant trouble. Without hesitation, she helped Vermont dress and rushed him to the hospital.Her face was very tense during the entire journey.Vermont's backside was hurt, and he could not sit. So, he had to lie flat in the backseat and rested his head on Felicity's thighs.From the angle he was looking Felicity at, she looked extremely worried. Her chubby chin was tightly clenched, and Vermont could tell that she was feeling very uneasy.Vermont could not help but reach out to poke the dimple on her cheek as he chuckled and said softly, "Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid
The doctor avoided direct eye contact with Felicity, adjusting his spectacles and clearing his throat before speaking. "It's pretty serious. Apart from his buttocks, his groin, perineum, and the area near his genitals were also burned."Felicity was shocked. "Doctor, are you sure about that? He was walking fine at home earlier. How did it become so serious?"The doctor swept his gaze across her. "Are you doubting my professionalism?"Felicity shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I was just... very surprised. He didn't mention any pain earlier. He had no trouble walking, and I'm just shocked that he can't even get up now."The doctor explained, "In cases of severe burns, the sensation of pain can sometimes be delayed. It's very common."Before Felicity could process the logical loophole of his words, the doctor continued, "His reproductive ability would be affected if it's not treated properly. Conducting cupping therapy without professional knowledge is already a dangerous th
Felicity would not have run away from her home if it was not because of the endless blind dates her mother arranged for her.With her twenty-sixth birthday approaching in two weeks and nothing bad happening to her, her head got big. She even texted her mother to make fun of her superstitious belief and told her to be more practical. Unexpectedly, karma hit her right in the face.The disaster had caught up with her right before turning twenty-six.And she could even be jailed.Felicity got more anxious and scared as she thought about that. She even wanted to swap places with Vermont.Vermont heard her come in, but she wasn't talking.His back was getting stiff, so he was about to stretch when he heard Felicity say, "I'll cover all your medical bills and expenses while you recover, including your lost wages..."She stopped, her eyes red, and then continued, "I might not be able to pay you for your lost wages right away. Could you give me an IOU instead?"Vermont looked at her. He
Vermont's heart was about to jump out of his chest, yet he pretentiously asked, "Be my what?"After thinking that Vermont would not have to go through this if it was not for her, she made up her mind and said with gritted teeth. "I'll be your fake girlfriend. Would that be okay?"Vermont paused and looked at her from head to toe. "You? I guess not."Felicity was immediately upset, thinking Vermont was belittling her. "What? I might not have big breasts and long legs like your ex-girlfriends, but who else do we have? Besides me, who else would keep this secret for you?"Vermont sighed. "That's not what I meant. I don't want to hold you back." He paused, lowering his head. "Aren't you interested in Corbin?"Something's already happened between you two, hasn't it? If you were to pretend to be my girlfriend, it would ruin everything for you."I can't let that happen."Felicity suddenly looked hesitant after hearing Corbin's name.Vermont watched her silently, noticing her internal
Felicity was shocked."I-Isn't it... too soon?"Felicity was not mentally prepared for that as she hesitantly said, "The doctor said that the treatment could work. Why don't we see how it goes first? It's too pessimistic to be announcing it now. What if you recovered after that?"Vermont put on an extremely downhearted look. "The doctor wouldn't put it that way if it really works." He paused momentarily, "Are you regretting your decision now?""I don't..."Felicity was about to explain herself, but she figured she would only sound like she was making excuses for herself. So, she said after a while. "Well... you do it then."Vermont was delighted.He drafted the text and glanced at Felicity, who looked like the saddest person on earth. Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Give me your hand.""What?"Felicity had no idea what he wanted to do, but she did as he said anyway.Vermont held her tiny hand and slid his fingers through the gaps between her hand, holding it tightly.
Stella was shocked. 'What's going on? Is he drunk or something?'She immediately refreshed the webpage, and the photo was still there with a lot of comments below it.Carter: [Congratulations. Will this relationship finally last for more than two months?]Marshall: [I'm surprised. Did Stella set you up with her? Ms. Thompson is a nice person.]Corbin: [Aren't you two relatives?]Stella gritted her teeth. 'What?! I can't believe she has not said anything about this to me before! What is she up to? Isn't she interested in Corbin? How did she suddenly get together with Vermont?'She took off her mask and quickly dialed Felicity's number.Felicity was sitting nervously by the bed. She panicked when she heard her phone ringing and saw Stella's incoming call.She did not know whether to hang up or answer. 'Stella must've seen the photo that Stinky Cucumber posted just now and called to ask me about it.'My head is in a mess right now. I have no idea what to say to her at all.'Verm
After Vermont switched off Felicity's phone, she asked, feeling confused, "Why did you do that?"Vermont looked at her and said, "Would you prefer telling her that I'm injured down there because of you?"That I might never be able to sleep with another woman again, so you're just pretending to be my girlfriend to save me from embarrassment?"Felicity kept quiet.Then, she said softly, "I didn't say I would say that. Stella is just worried that you're lying to me."Vermont chuckled. "Lie to you about what?"Felicity opened her mouth to speak but then closed it.'He didn't hold a knife to my throat and force me. I was the one who couldn't bear the guilt and offered to be his fake girlfriend. Everything seems fine, but I just feel weird about it.'Whatever. I should stop thinking about it. The most important thing now is to get him healed. Then, I won't have to be his fake girlfriend anymore.'Felicity pushed those thoughts aside. "I'll go get the admission procedure for you, the
