The four of them entered the restaurant together, ordered a few dishes, and then asked Chu Fang to talk about his life when he was trapped. Chu Fang picked out some boring things to talk about. Today the four of them reunited, and Shao Liang flew back to Shanghai from out of town to find out about his situation.

After saying that, Rong Shunji patted him on the shoulder: "It's a real pity you didn't die."

Wen Xiangbing: "The world has gained another capitalist who acts recklessly and is rich but heartless, which is a misfortune for this world."

Shao Liang said, "It's good that Brother Chu is back."

"Liangzi is the most reliable one; he's my good brother," Chu Fang said with a smile.

The four chatted about their recent situations. Rong Shunji was busy with work and taking care of his pregnant wife, experiencing both hardships and joys as he welcomed the arrival of their child. Shao Liang was living a very comfortable life in his hometown, working from nine to five every day. His salary was low, but his work was easy, and he was very happy.

When asked about his relationship status, Shao Liang stammered, his face flushed. The three of them looked at each other, recalling the young girl they had met before, and lewd smiles appeared on their faces.

Wen Xiangbing, on the other hand, was busy starting his business and was always on the go. It was only today that he managed to find time to get together with everyone.

As night fell, Wen Xiangbing and Rong Shunji left separately, while Chu Fang and Shao Liang left together. Shao Liang had nowhere to stay in Modu, so he stayed at his place for the night before heading back to his hometown the next day.

Before going home, Chu Fang went to the studio first. Zhong Tingyue was still working overtime and asked Chu Fang to pick her up. Otherwise, given her workaholic nature, she would definitely work overtime until the early hours of the morning.

Upon arriving at the studio, the two immediately went upstairs and spotted Zhong Tingyue, who was lying on the table, wearing a long white dress. The light fabric swayed gently, like ripples under the moonlight, perfectly complementing her simple white sneakers.

Seemingly sensing the gaze, Zhong Tingyue looked up, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

"Oh, Mr. Chu finally decided to come? I thought he had left me behind."

I've been thinking about you a lot today.

How much do you want to?

"I keep thinking about it."

How old?

"As old as you."

Zhong Tingyue clenched her fists tightly.

Shao Liang watched the two bickering.

In his memory, Chu Fang had always been indifferent to girls, even if they were pretty. He even had a cold attitude towards them. During his school days, many girls rushed towards him like moths to a flame, only to leave disappointed in the end.

At that moment, he saw his good friend bickering intimately with a woman, with a faint smile on his face.

“Xiao Liang is here.” Zhong Tingyue, who had met three of Chu Fang’s friends, stopped arguing with Chu Fang and smiled as she spoke to Shao Liang: “I’m really busy today and don’t have time to meet with you. I hope you don’t mind.”

Before Shao Liang could speak, Chu Fang said from the side, "Didn't you just say a few days ago that you hated my three friends, that none of them were upright and that they were almost corrupting this honest man like me? How come you're so polite to Shao Liang now? Zhong Tingyue, you're so hypocritical and two-faced."

"You..." Zhong Tingyue was so angry at her boyfriend's words that she almost couldn't breathe. "When did I say such a thing? I didn't say it."

"You said that."

"No."

"have."

"No!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Looking at the two people who resembled children, Shao Liang felt that they seemed to be a match made in heaven.

The three of them went home immediately and stayed for one night before Shao Liang returned to his hometown.

Shao Liang said, "Brother Chu, I wish you and your wife a speedy marriage."

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Chu Fang made a 'yes, sir' gesture. "Then I wish you and your childhood sweetheart a speedy marriage. Don't forget to invite the three of us brothers when the time comes. We'll be your best men, and we'll give you a big red envelope."

These words made Shao Liang blush, and he remained as shy as ever: "No way..."

"..." Chu Fang was speechless for a moment, then poked Shao Liang's chest: "If you don't believe me, look behind you."

Shao Liang looked back and saw his childhood sweetheart standing on the side of the street, waiting for the traffic light. When she saw his gaze, she suddenly became happy and waved her hand.

She quickly crossed the traffic light, ran to Shao Liang's side, hugged his arm tightly, and called out in a clear voice, "Brother Shao Liang."

Shao Liang asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm off today, and since you're in Shanghai, I came to pick you up and take you home." The childhood sweetheart said happily, then looked at Chu Fang and called out, "Hello, Brother Chu Fang."

"Okay, okay." Chu Fang nodded repeatedly. "By the way, I have a Disney membership card. It's not easy to come to Shanghai, why don't you two go and experience it?"

The young girl hesitated, "That wouldn't be a good idea..."

Despite her hesitation, her eyes sparkled with surprise as she looked at Shao Liang, anticipating his reply. Shao Liang then said to Chu Fang, "Thank you for the membership card, Brother Chu."

Upon hearing this, the young girl's eyes narrowed into slits, revealing cheers and joy.

Shao Liang and his childhood sweetheart left in a taxi. Watching the two disappear from sight, Chu Fang smiled.

Sometimes I envy Shao Liang's situation. He has a lively and lovely girlfriend by his side, always together, never to be separated. He also wishes that Zhong Tingyue could be as gentle to him as his childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately... that woman is naturally independent and rarely relies on him, with the demeanor of a strong woman.

It makes me so angry. I'm not short of money, so why does that woman work so hard?

Isn't it good enough to be a wealthy wife?

Zhong Tingyue is truly born with the body of a beast of burden, destined for a life of toil.

Chu Fang mentally complained about Zhong Tingyue, and immediately felt much better. He then went home.

Zhong Tingyue forbade him from going to the studio recently, so as not to disturb her work. He was still being paid his salary, but he had nowhere to go at the moment, so he had to go home and play games.

After spending over ten thousand yuan on in-game purchases, Chu Fang slammed his phone down: "My salary isn't even enough for a day's expenses..."
