"I thought he was just being polite when he mentioned it, but he actually bought it for me!" "And it’s the top-of-the-line flagship model! I’ve wanted this phone for so long but could never justify spending the money!" Her face lit up with unrestrained joy as she admired her new phone. After a moment, she decided to take a few pictures and send them to Joseph. "Brother-in-law, did you buy this? 【Love You.jpg】" She sent the message, complete with a playful emoji. But after waiting for a while, there was no response. "Ugh, that jerk! He sends me such an expensive gift but doesn’t even bother replying to my message." Heidi pouted, grumbling under her breath. Unable to wait any longer, she dialed his number. The phone rang for several seconds before Joseph finally answered. At that moment, he had just stepped out of his car and was about to enter his house. "Hello? Heidi? What’s up?" Joseph asked casually. "Brother-in-law, I got the package! It’s amazing—I love it so much!" Heidi

"Technically, it’s a medicinal soup. A couple of days ago, I gave my ex-wife’s younger sister a prescription for a strong medicine. The side effects make her body weak, so this soup should help alleviate that weakness," Joseph explained patiently. "Oh? So it’s for your little sister-in-law? You’re really good to her," Alice said, wrinkling her nose slightly, her tone laced with a hint of jealousy. "It’s not about being good or bad. She’s taken care of me in her own way over the years. You know me—I always repay kindness when I can," Joseph said with a faint smile. "Fine. If even you say she’s a good person, then I suppose I won’t be jealous," Alice said, sitting down at the dining table and resting her chin on her hands, her expression relaxed. "She’s alright. A bit mischievous at times, but overall, not bad," Joseph replied nonchalantly. "Alright, then. For her past kindness to you, I’ll let it slide," Alice said with an exaggeratedly serious nod. "Did I say you were jealous? Y

Joseph chuckled as he unwrapped the food.“Which brother-in-law gave it to you?”He teased.“I only have one, silly!” Heidi retorted playfully. “That tall, handsome, charming older man named Joseph Wilson! You know him?”Feigning innocence, she batted her lashes and asked,“Excuse me, handsome, what’s your name?”“Joseph Wilson,” he replied casually.“What a coincidence! You have the same name as my brother-in-law!”She grinned mischievously.“Alright, stop fooling around and eat. I have to head back to the office soon,” Joseph said with a helpless smile.“Let me see what goodies you brought!”Heidi eagerly opened the containers. “Wow, this smells amazing! Is this bone broth? Look at the m

“Of course not! Because I’ve never had a boyfriend or kissed anyone either. My first kiss is still safe and sound!”She declared it with a sense of pride.“Uh… why are you telling me this?”Joseph asked cautiously, starting to sense that something wasn’t quite right.Leaning in closer, Heidi’s voice dropped to a teasing whisper.“Brother-in-law, do you want to experience a girl’s first kiss?”Joseph’s face turned crimson, and he quickly stood up, flustered.“This… this isn’t appropriate! If your sister finds out, she’ll kill you! Let’s just forget this ever happened. I need to get back to the office.”Heidi, however, grabbed the collar of his shirt with surprising strength, pulling him back down. Their faces were now mere inches apart.<

"Brother-in-law, I’m heading out. I’m going to Grandma’s today to mooch a meal and maybe gather some information about her side of the family." "Honestly, I didn’t want to go so early, but the food at home is unbearable. Brother-in-law, I miss your cooking so much. I even dream of you when I sleep." Joseph chuckled at her dramatic complaint and replied: "Go and check things out, then. While you’re there, try to ask about your grandfather. You can casually bring up my willingness to treat him." "But remember, you need to be tactful. Lead the conversation carefully and gradually change her opinion of me. Build her trust little by little. Only then can I earn her support. Do you understand what I mean?" He typed quickly, sending the message without hesitation. Moments later, Heidi replied with a voice message. Her soft, sweet voice carried a hint of flirtation, sending an involuntary shiver down his spine. "Got it, brother-in-law! I’m not stupid. Why are you so naggy?" Joseph cou

"How about this—let’s skip lunch since we just had breakfast. We can eat out around three instead," Alice suggested, pausing to think. "Let’s go to the amusement park first. I want to ride roller coasters, the drop tower, the Ferris wheel… there’s so much I want to do! It’s been ages since I’ve gone out to play." She began counting off her desired activities on her fingers, her tone completely serious. "Why are they all such thrilling rides?" Joseph chuckled softly. "What? Are you scared?" Alice raised an eyebrow, smirking mischievously. "Not at all. You can do whatever you like—I’ll go along with it," Joseph replied calmly. "Great! I’ll go change now. Wait for me," Alice said, hopping up and heading to her room. It wasn’t long before she returned, stepping out with a twirl in front of Joseph. "Joseph, how do I look in this outfit? Isn’t it cute?" She smiled brightly. Joseph glanced her over. "What kind of outfit is this? It’s cute and quite unique," he remarked. "It’s L

The people still waiting in line looked on with envy, their thoughts unanimous: Why couldn’t something like that happen to me? Three thousand dollars—a sum that, for many, equaled a month’s salary—was handed over so easily. "You’re really something," Joseph remarked, watching Alice as she stood in line. His tone was half-amazed, half-admiring. "It’s just a fair trade!" Alice stuck out her tongue playfully, flashing him a cheeky grin.Thanks to Alice’s bold maneuvering, the two of them managed to buy their tickets in under ten minutes. Not only that, but Alice’s extravagance didn’t end there—she purchased tickets for almost every major attraction in the park. Watching her spend money so carelessly, Joseph couldn’t help but feel a fleeting thought cross his mind: Being a kept man doesn’t seem so bad after all."Let’s go! Come on!" Alice grabbed Joseph’s hand and led him into the amusement park, her excitement palpable.Meanwhile, the young man who had just pocketed $3,000 lingered

"Don’t fall for it, man. That air rifle can’t even reach balloon number 99. I tried for the Barbie doll on balloon 23 and spent $300 without hitting it. I could’ve bought three Barbies for that price!" "You think $300 is bad? I spent $700 trying to win the limited-edition Lego set on balloon 42 and still didn’t get it. I’m sick just thinking about it!""This booth is a total scam. Don’t waste your money!" The surrounding crowd chimed in, offering Joseph well-meaning advice to walk away.Joseph simply smiled. He had already observed others playing and quickly deduced that while the rifle’s accuracy left much to be desired, its range was sufficient. For someone without proper training, hitting the target was nearly impossible—but for him, it was another story. "Mind your business! You’re just bitter because you lack skill!" The owner snapped at the onlookers, clearly irritated by their comments."Joseph, maybe we should forget it. It’s not about the money—I just don’t want you to ge

"Exactly, Professor Wilson. This ability is incredible. I’d love to learn it myself. How did you manage to train such precision?" Lindsay asked, her face full of eager curiosity."It’s not something you deliberately train for," Joseph explained with a faint smile. "If you handle enough herbs over time, you naturally develop a sense for their weight.""Like water wearing down stone or an iron rod being ground into a needle—if you dedicate yourself to something wholeheartedly, over time, you’ll reach heights you never imagined possible.""The key lies in ‘dedication.’ You must focus your heart and mind on feeling the weight of the herbs."Joseph’s tone was calm yet carried a profound wisdom, his words striking a chord with everyone present."What a beautiful lesson in focus and devotion," Philip Anderson said with admiration, his eyes filled with respect."Sir, the truth is, I came here today to borrow a set of silver needles. Has Lindsay mentioned this to you?" Joseph asked, steering t

"Old Flores is right—this is an incredible stroke of fate," Joseph said with a faint smile, his tone tinged with a hint of wonder. "The fragments in this ancient text, combined with the incomplete formula passed down by my master, have come together to form a complete prescription.""I never expected such a coincidence to exist in this world."His words left everyone astonished."Isn’t that something? It seems our family and Professor Wilson are deeply connected by fate. Who would’ve thought that, though I’ve never met your master, I’ve already shared a profound connection with him through his work!"Philip Anderson’s voice was filled with emotion, his excitement almost palpable."Sir, please keep this prescription for yourself. As a fellow physician, I won’t bother explaining the finer details. Simply follow the listed ingredients and dosages, and it will suffice," Joseph said casually, his tone lighthearted."Professor Wilson, please come with me," Philip Anderson suddenly said, gra

"Naturally!" Philip Anderson immediately turned to Lindsay Anderson and said, "Lindsay, fetch the pen, ink, and paper!" Lindsay nodded obediently and quickly retrieved the requested items, placing them neatly on the table. "Professor Wilson, please enlighten us!" Philip Anderson gestured invitingly, his respect for Joseph evident. "Then I shall do my best." Joseph picked up the brush, dipped it lightly in ink, and began to write on the blank sheet of paper. He preferred to write prescriptions with a brush, believing that medicine was not only a science but also an art. To him, prescribing medicine and saving lives were acts of profound significance, deserving of a certain ceremonial reverence. As Joseph wrote the names of the first two ingredients, the room collectively gasped in astonishment. "Professor Wilson, your handwriting is extraordinary!" Richard Anderson couldn’t help but blurt out, visibly impressed. Even Philip Anderson and Tristan Flores were captivated. The stren

"I’ve just had more opportunities to practice over the years. It’s nothing worth mentioning," Joseph replied modestly. "Professor Wilson, how about giving us a demonstration?" Tristan Flores suddenly suggested. "A demonstration? What do you have in mind?" Joseph asked with a smile. "Professor Wilson, Richard just got out of the hospital. How about you check him over to see if there’s anything else wrong with him? Let us witness your skills firsthand." Philip Anderson’s tone carried a hint of anticipation. "Sure, that’s simple enough," Joseph agreed with a slight smile. "Great! Professor Wilson, please take a good look at me. Let me know if there’s anything I need to watch out for so I don’t run into trouble later," Richard chimed in, immediately sitting down in front of Joseph. Joseph reached out, ready to take Richard’s pulse. But just as he was about to begin, Philip Anderson interrupted him. "Hold on, Professor Wilson. Let me go first." "I haven’t taken his pulse since h

“Don’t you think Professor Wilson is incredibly young?” Laura said, peeking out the window to glance at Joseph’s car. “That’s obvious, isn’t it? You don’t need to point it out,” Richard replied, growing impatient. “He’s young, talented, and good-looking. He’s not much older than our daughter,” Laura continued, her tone thoughtful. “That car out there—that’s his, right? It’s beautiful. Must’ve cost a fortune.” “Of course, it’s a luxury vehicle. Easily worth a million. If we sold our house, we might just be able to afford it. What, are you interested in him now?” Richard joked. “You’re so inappropriate! Do I look like someone who’d attract a man like him?!” Laura shot back, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “Then what’s the point of all this?” Richard asked with a chuckle. “Didn’t you notice the way our daughter was looking at Professor Wilson? There’s something… peculiar about it,” Laura said, a sly smile spreading across her face. “Peculiar? How so? I didn’t notice anythin

Joseph nodded and started the car, driving into the complex. He had to admit, the neighborhood was indeed large. While its size wasn’t an issue, the sheer number of turns and side streets made it easy to get lost. Without someone guiding him, he might have spent ages circling around. The area itself wasn’t particularly upscale, and the buildings showed signs of age. However, the maintenance was impeccable, and the surroundings exuded a quiet charm. Considering Richard Anderson’s profession, Joseph guessed that most of the residents here were likely public servants—teachers, civil servants, and the like. “Turn right up ahead, then left, and then another right. We’re almost there,” Lindsay instructed. “Got it.” Joseph followed her directions, maneuvering the car carefully through the winding streets. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious clearing. Ahead, near the roadside, stood a three-story house. The house was sizable, with a well-maintained garden in the front. The

“So, according to you, your Mason Alvarez has a strong sense of ‘romantic ethics’? She’d actually ask permission before stealing someone’s boyfriend?” Joseph couldn’t resist mocking her logic. “Believe it or not, that’s just the kind of person she is.” “Look at the shirt she bought you. Or the way she interacts with you. She’s completely honest and direct with people she’s comfortable with. But not many people get to know her well enough to see that side of her. Sometimes, I think she’s a little pitiful. Someone like her must feel so lonely.” Alice sighed softly, her voice tinged with genuine sympathy. “You’re too kind and too pure for your own good, kiddo.” Joseph chuckled as he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately. “By the way, tomorrow afternoon, I need to stop by a student’s house to pick up a set of silver needles. I’ll also be staying for dinner. Let me know when your classes end so I can pick you up.” Joseph decided it was best to let Alice know in advance. “Hu

“Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t like shopping, doesn’t enjoy socializing, and spends all her time going back and forth between her office and the lab? That’s Mason Alvarez. She’s incredibly hardworking.” Alice explained with a laugh, but her tone carried genuine admiration for Mason Alvarez. “That may be true, but does that justify buying me this shirt? Is this really something an adult would do?” Joseph gestured at the Mickey Mouse print on his chest, utterly exasperated. “Why don’t you ever buy me something like this?” He shot Alice a pointed look. “Because I’m different. I’ve been observing you since we were kids—I know what you like to eat, what habits you have, and what kind of clothes suit you. I even browse shopping websites sometimes to figure out what styles would look good on you.” “Stuff like this isn’t something you’re born knowing. It takes time and effort.” Alice’s explanation was matter-of-fact, but her tone was warm. “You actually spend time researching t

Watching him leave, Mason blinked a few times, then returned to her work. Ten minutes later, Joseph sent Mason a photo. It was a picture of the shirt she’d bought him. On the right side of the chest was a cheerful, oversized Mickey Mouse graphic. “Professor Alvarez, do you even know how to shop for men’s clothes? What is this? Do you think a man in his twenties should be wearing something like this?” Joseph’s tone was filled with disbelief as he stared at himself in the mirror, his face dark with frustration. “Uh… I guess I don’t. Didn’t I tell you I’ve never had a boyfriend? The only man I’ve ever bought clothes for is my dad.” “You specifically told me not to buy something that looks like something my dad would wear, so I thought I’d go for something youthful. Don’t you think Mickey Mouse is cute?” Mason genuinely thought she’d made a thoughtful choice. “Youthful? This doesn’t make me look youthful—it makes me look childish!” Joseph was utterly exasperated. He was starting
