But it was already too late for Pei Yuyan to dodge. As Zhang Yang spoke, it had already burst forth.
A massive amount of white essence sprayed directly onto Pei Yuyan’s face, neck, and chest.
Pei Yuyan screamed, then immediately rushed frantically towards the bathroom.
Zhang Yang watched Pei Yuyan’s awkward retreat and couldn’t help but laugh, feeling immensely relieved at the same time.
Pei Yuyan’s body was simply too tempting, like walking hormones, exciting and thrilling.
But usually at work, she dressed too conservatively; one wouldn’t know that beneath those clothes was such a sexy, fiery figure.
After a while, Pei Yuyan finally came out of the bathroom, having quickly showered and changed into a set of pajamas.
But upon coming out, she glared fiercely at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang, with an embarrassed smile, said, "Senior sister, you know, once a man gets that feeling, it’s very hard to control, but luckily, it wasn’t damaged by a kick."
What could Pei Yuyan say at that time? But she felt relieved that Zhang Yang had not been kicked badly.
But after what had just happened, Pei Yuyan could no longer look at Zhang Yang normally.
Sitting down awkwardly, she didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, Zhang Yang looked at the little skirt and clothes on the floor and, recalling how provocatively Pei Yuyan had dressed to go to the bar earlier, couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Senior sister, why would you go to such a place? Even if you wanted to go to a bar to relax, you should go to a more decent place, right?"
"That kind of small bar has all sorts of people; today was really dangerous for you."
Hearing this, Pei Yuyan looked somewhat uneasy.
"What’s wrong, senior sister? If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I was just curious."
Seeing Pei Yuyan struggle to speak, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but say that.
Pei Yuyan sighed lightly and then said slowly, "It’s not that I don’t want to talk; it’s just embarrassing."
"But since you saw it today, it’s okay to tell you, just promise me you won’t tell anyone else, okay?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "Don’t worry, senior sister, I can keep a secret."
Pei Yuyan no longer had her usual cheerful and lively demeanor, instead, she looked distressed. "Actually, I have been doing part-time work at the bar, earning commissions by selling drinks."
"Today, those delinquents bought a lot of drinks, and I thought I could make a good profit, but they refused to pay and even wanted me to drink with them."
"This kind of thing is quite common there; it’s hard to sell without joining them for a few drinks."
"But those delinquents wanted to douse me with drinks and were getting handsy, so I ran out."
"You saw what happened after that."
When mentioning these delinquents, Pei Yuyan was grinding her teeth, with a look of resentment and tears in her eyes.
It was evident that Pei Yuyan had suffered a lot of grievances in there.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang was greatly shocked.
"Senior sister, our hospital’s salary and benefits are not low, and you are now a chief physician. Why do you need to take a part-time job there? Are you facing some difficulties?"
Pei Yuyan didn’t directly answer Zhang Yang’s question but instead asked, "Zhang Yang, would you look down on me for doing this?"
"How could that be? I believe, senior sister, that you must have encountered some difficulties; otherwise, you wouldn’t choose this industry,"
Pei Yuyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, it really does pay well. And not to brag, but wherever I go, I always am the prettiest. Three of them together can’t outsell me alone."
Watching Pei Yuyan jokingly overplay her strength, Zhang Yang stroked her head.
"Senior sister, in my eyes, you are the best."
"Thank you, Zhang Yang, for not looking down on me. If I could, I wouldn’t choose to degrade myself, but my mom got sick, and her surgery needs a big sum of money."
"You know, it was already difficult for an ordinary family to support my studies, let alone, I am from a single-parent family."
"It was mom alone who provided for my university and postgraduate studies. I finally got into a big hospital, and finally, there was a good hope."
"Then my mom fell ill. The little savings we had are all spent, and I have borrowed from every relative. If it weren’t for them knowing I have a stable job, they would probably blacklist me."
"I won’t even be able to pay next month’s rent for this apartment. I’ll have to move to a cheaper place."
"I’m really at the end of my rope, so I had to find a job that pays quickly."
"Zhang Yang, please don’t tell anyone. The hospital has rules against doing jobs outside, especially this kind of job. It could even affect my chances of being recognized as excellent later on."
Pei Yuyan’s eyes reddened, but she held back from letting the tears fall.
Seeing his usually cheerful and optimistic senior sister forcing herself to be strong, Zhang Yang felt an ache in his heart.
Pei Yuyan had hidden her struggles too well. Who would have thought that the sister who always wore a smile was in such a tough spot?
"Senior sister, if you want to cry, just let it out." Zhang Yang hugged Pei Yuyan. This time, his mind was free of any improper thoughts; he simply hugged his strong senior sister out of sympathy.
Pei Yuyan fully leaned into Zhang Yang’s embrace; she was really exhausted.
Zhang Yang’s chest was firm, warm, and comfortable.
But Pei Yuyan did not cry; crying wouldn’t solve any problems.
Even leaning in Zhang Yang’s arms, Pei Yuyan said with a laugh, "The strong never complain about their circumstances. My mom broke down her health doing half a lifetime of hard work because of me. I don’t feel wronged, but when I’m bullied, I can only endure it or run away."
Zhang Yang was amused by her words, "Senior sister, I still prefer to see you happy."
"Yeah, I am happy. I have a mom who loves me, a good job, a good boss, and a decent colleague, I guess."
"Senior sister, that ’decent colleague’ wouldn’t happen to be me, would it?" Zhang Yang said with a hurt expression.
Pei Yuyan also "haha" laughed, her laughter somewhat carefree.
Zhang Yang hugged her even tighter.
"Senior sister, don’t go to that part-time job anymore."
Pei Yuyan felt the warmth of Zhang Yang’s care but still straightened up and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I have to go. My mom’s surgery is still short of 150,000."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang frowned slightly, "But today, you already angered those thugs, and they know where you work. They definitely won’t let you be."
Pei Yuyan’s face paled upon hearing this, but she still managed a weak smile, "It’s okay, if they dare mess up, I’ll call the cops."
"I’m not afraid of those thugs."
Zhang Yang shook his head, then said with a determined look, "Senior sister, I’ll figure out a way to get the 150,000."
