With spring arriving, summer is just around the corner. Shanghai has already entered summer weather, and temperatures are rising accordingly.

As the sun set, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue walked out of the building, with the former glancing at the latter.

Zhong Tingyue wore a simple white t-shirt without any lace, looking clean and tidy, and a black skirt with the hem swaying slightly. Her hair was tied up in a bun. Her ordinary outfit made her look refreshing and pure.

"Is it pretty?"

"Report it!"

"real?"

"Ugly, incredibly ugly!"

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips, a faint crescent moon shape appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Arriving at the parking lot, she found her electric scooter parked there, got into the driver's seat, and immediately took Chu Fang to Yulin Elementary School.

Since buying the car, Zhong Tingyue has been driving, whether going to and from get off work, shopping, or even just walking a few steps, acting like a complete novice.

Chu Fang was quite happy about it, as it saved him the trouble of driving.

A moment later, the car stopped at the school gate. Zhong Rou, carrying her schoolbag, climbed into the car and asked curiously, "Sister, brother-in-law, why did you come to pick me up?"

Chu Fang replied, "Your sister He Yi is treating us tonight."

Now he finally understands why children cling to their mothers.

The presence of the sister-in-law meant that the two of them would always consider each other wherever they went, and would always take this little third wheel with them.

Labor Day was just a few days away, which was also the day He Yi and Wu Di got married.

Considering that many people will be busy with their own things during Labor Day and won't have time to go back to their hometown for the wedding, the couple decided to hold a small dinner party before the wedding, inviting their familiar friends, classmates, and colleagues to the dinner party, which would serve as a mini wedding.

Although Zhong Tingyue and Chu Fang are going to the real wedding, they can go there tonight.

As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped with the gentle sea breeze.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we found it to be a rather upscale establishment.

When the three arrived, many people were already there, exchanging pleasantries. Classmates who had known each other for years were happy about the reunion, chatting loudly about their experiences in society: some were still single, some were married, some were divorced, some had remarried after divorce, some had become mistresses...

Everyone's experiences can only be described in two words: complicated.

Upon seeing Zhong Tingyue, Chu Fang, and Zhong Rou, some classmates were taken aback. When they heard that Chu Fang was Zhong Tingyue's boyfriend, everyone stared at him with wide eyes, scrutinizing him from head to toe, looking on incredulously.

But he quickly composed himself and shook hands with Chu Fang, exchanging pleasantries.

At the dinner table, only Chu Fang and Zhong Rou were seated because Zhong Tingyue had to help He Yi deal with the arriving classmates.

A classmate nearby craned his neck and asked curiously, "Hey handsome, how did you manage to win over Zhong Xian? I'm really curious."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.

Because Zhong Tingyue was unapproachable at school, even rich kids and handsome guys didn't get close to her, like a fairy who didn't eat the food of mortals. Therefore, her old classmates called Zhong Tingyue "Zhong Fairy".

Heaven knows how surprised and saddened everyone was when they heard that Zhong Tingyue had a boyfriend.

Can fairies fall in love with mortals?

My unrequited love has come to an end.

Chu Fang pondered for a moment: "Sincerity, honesty, and perseverance."

"real?"

"real."

Of course it's fake!

"I didn't really pursue Zhong Tingyue much; that woman came to me herself. But I can't say that, it would hurt your pride too much..." Chu Fang thought smugly.

There's no way around it, being handsome gives you preferential treatment!

As the banquet began, under the influence of alcohol, many old classmates overcame the awkwardness of their first meeting and quickly became familiar with each other. They talked animatedly, drinking and reminiscing about everything that happened in college—the good, the bad, the interesting, the boring...

My old classmate has been working for several years now, navigating the cutthroat world of the workplace, and he chuckles whenever he hears about those funny stories from college.

Chu Fang hadn't attended university like the others at the table, so he couldn't join in the conversation or fit in; he just listened quietly.

Of course, he didn't intend to integrate; it was just a social occasion.

"Why are you looking at me?" Chu Fang asked, looking at his sister-in-law beside him. "Do your homework."

The tragic sister-in-law.

Even now, she is still doing her homework.

I didn't memorize the text the teacher asked me to recite in class today, so I was punished by having to copy it from the book.

"Brother-in-law." The sister-in-law took a chicken leg and took a big bite.

"Um."

"How could you possibly like my sister?" the sister-in-law asked. "My sister is fierce, domineering, not pretty at all, docks your pay, and most importantly, she's always bossing me around. Which eye of yours is blind?"

Your sister is in charge of you, what does that have to do with me?

Chu Fang wiped his sister-in-law's greasy face and replied, "I never liked your sister. She was the one who pursued me."

The people listening nearby just laughed it off, their faces showing disbelief.

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Chu Fang watched his sister-in-law finish her chicken leg and urged her, "Hurry up and do your homework, or your sister will give you trouble again."

... ...

Smoking room.

Groups of old classmates smoked cigarettes and chatted quietly.

"I never expected 'Zhong Xian' to have a boyfriend. This is the biggest news in our entire grade."

"I am a little surprised."

"And her boyfriend is a member of her own studio. How is this any different from keeping a gigolo?"

“It’s so good to take care of me, it doesn’t cost any money.”

"Sigh! If word gets out, how will those rich second-generation heirs and handsome guys who pursued 'Zhong Xian' understand this?"

"There's nothing we can do; the differences between people are just that great."

“... ..."

The crowd felt a little disappointed. What was so remarkable about that man besides being handsome?

Where did we go wrong?!

Wu Di slowly walked in and said unhurriedly, "Chu Fang is not as simple as you think."

"Is there a story behind this?" someone asked.

"Hehe..." Wu Di chuckled, "Chu Fang is a very good person, capable, sociable, and an excellent cook..."

“I can cook too; that’s my job now,” someone said quickly.

“I wasn’t finished,” Wu Di continued. “Well… although it might be hurtful, it has to be said that Chu Fang’s assets are beyond the reach of those rich kids. Moreover, he comes from an ordinary family and started from scratch, building his fortune through his own abilities.”

"Oh, a rich person." Everyone immediately understood. "How rich?"

Wu Di shrugged: "I don't know."

He couldn't glean any information about Chu Fang's assets from the few fragments he had gathered, but he had a rough estimate in mind that they were in the billions.

Immediately, Wu Di briefly recounted Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue's love story and their way of getting along. After a moment of silence, he then said:

"Alright, losing to Chu Fang is not unjust!"

"Chu Fang is simply the perfect man in the eyes of countless girls. No wonder 'Zhong Xian' fell for him."

"Where can I find a handsome guy who's rich, good-looking, and can cook? I want one too."

"What? You're a zero?"

"I can do it."

“... ..."
