early morning.

Chu Fang woke up early in the morning and got out of bed immediately.

As soon as he left the bedroom, he saw the little blond guy looking at him, wagging his tail, always looking happy.

I've had this little mixed-breed dog for half a year now. It's slowly growing up, shedding its babyish voice from when it was a puppy. It has a broad head, erect ears, and yellow and black fur, making it look fierce and full of primal charm.

The little yellow dog is likely a purebred Chinese rural dog; it's cute when it's a puppy and grows to be fierce.

But his loyalty remains unchanged; he shakes his head and is overjoyed whenever he sees his family.

Chu Fang glanced at the tabby cat stretching its body: "Unlike that stupid cat, a complete ingrate, no one but Zhong Tingyue can get into its heart."

The tabby cat seemed to sense Chu Fang's resentment and was pacing gracefully by the window.

He quickly washed up, then went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It was about the same day he left; except for the fruit, all the vegetables and meat were still there.

These past few days, Yang Meina and Zhong Rou have been eating takeout.

Chu Fang picked up a few preserved eggs, lean meat, and onions, planning to make preserved egg and lean meat porridge this morning, and also fry a few onion meat patties.

"Brother-in-law..." He heard Zhong Rou's lazy voice just as he was cooking.

"Hmm." Without looking up, he asked, "How have you been these past few days?"

“In the morning, Nana gives me money, and I go out to buy breakfast for her and me. I order takeout for her at noon and in the evening, and I also bring her late-night snacks after evening self-study.” Zhong Rou’s voice had a hint of grievance in it. “These days, I’ve almost become the one taking care of her.”

“... ..."

The reversal of the Heavenly Gang is considered to be true.

Chu Fang smiled, consistent with his stereotypical view of Yang Meina, and skipped the topic, asking, "How are your high school studies going?"

Zhong Rou said without any hesitation, "It's not good at all. I want to blow up that school. Who said you have to go to high school?"

She paused, then continued, "A few days ago, I met a guy who said he liked me. We had a match, and after a couple of moves, he got kicked and ran to the teacher crying to complain. I had to write a self-criticism and apologize. He said he never liked me again. Do you think I care if he likes me?"

“... ..."

Chu Fang really wanted to see which eye the boy who liked his sister-in-law had that was blind in. Or maybe both eyes were blind.

Zhong, the heroine, has a life ambition: to be her boyfriend, one must be better than her; otherwise, one is not qualified to be her boyfriend.

Zhong Tingyue was very anxious about this.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, she has never encountered a male among her peers who is stronger than Zhong Rou; they have all been beaten down by her.

"High school is primarily about studying," Chu Fang said.

"I know, I'm not thinking about dating anyway." Zhong Rou waved her hand dismissively. "By the way, brother-in-law, our school is having a sports meet next month. I'm participating in three events: the 100-meter dash, the 3,000-meter dash, and the triple jump. Why don't you and I come and watch?"

Are you confident of winning the championship?

Zhong Rou patted her chest, making a loud thumping sound: "That's definitely one hundred percent."

"Okay." He nodded.

The two chatted until breakfast was ready. After eating, Zhong Rou put her hands in her pockets and went to school.

A short while later, the sun rose, and Zhong Tingyue slowly walked out of the house, rubbing her eyes: "Where's Zhong Rou?"

"He's off to school." Chu Fang shrugged. "You woke Yang Meina up for breakfast."

"Never mind," Zhong Tingyue said calmly. "She already goes to bed late anyway, so let her sleep. Just leave her some time."

After finishing their breakfast, the two changed their clothes and headed to the studio together.

As Jiang Wenzhen entered the studio, her eyes lit up: "Oh, Sister Zhong, you're finally back! I've missed you so much these past few days."

"Is everything alright?"

"No."

Zhong Tingyue nodded, and then went to her office to hand over the procedures with the manager of Yateng Yige who came to manage the office, and learn about the relevant work. Then, a meeting was held at nine o'clock.

Everyone sat in the conference room, all looking at Zhong Tingyue in front of them, who was speaking seriously and earnestly about the studio's upcoming plans and tasks.

Because of the delay of more than half a month, the work ahead is quite heavy, and we must complete the client's needs within the stipulated time.

Chu Fang lay on the table, gazing at Zhong Tingyue, with only one thought in his mind: "This woman is really beautiful, no wonder she's the woman I chose."

She wore a sky-blue long-sleeved top and a white skirt that reached below her knees, paired with white sneakers. Her long, black hair was tied into a small bun, giving her an aura of youthful energy.

Zhong Tingyue wouldn't buy clothes that are too girlish, but this outfit was bought for her by Chu Fang, who also styled her hair. He dressed her up from head to toe in a way that he liked.

Seemingly noticing Zhan Zhan's gaze, Zhong Tingyue looked at him and glared at him fiercely.

After the meeting, the entire studio sprang into action, with people designing, drawing, and contacting clients...

Chu Fang was the only idle person around. He looked around but couldn't find anyone to chat with. He sighed deeply, "Alas!"

"Brother Chu, why are you sighing?" Cai Guan asked.

"Tell me, why do people work?"

"Realize your self-worth."

“... ..."

"Alright," this sentence immediately silenced Chu Fang.

If someone else had said this, he might have argued back, but since it was the chubby guy who said it, that his family wasn't short of money but he still insisted on going to work every day, it made perfect sense.

"Then help me realize my self-worth." He handed the documents in his hand to the chubby boy.

"Chu Fang!" Jiang Wenzhen appeared beside him without him noticing, gritting her teeth as she said, "My Guan Guan is already so tired, and you're still bullying him. Are you even human?"

"Oh, Guan Guan's calling out too." Hearing this, Chu Fang tilted his head and teased, "How long have you two been together? You're already this close. Jiang Wenzhen, you're a girl, can't you have some shame?"

Jiang Wenzhen wrapped one arm around Cai Guan's neck and said, "What I do with Guan Guan is none of your business."

Perhaps it was because they were both purely in love, or perhaps they already had someone else in their hearts, but the relationship between the two seemed to develop faster than expected.

Jiang Wenzhen frequently posts photos of Cai Guan on her WeChat Moments, showing off their affection.

Jiang Wenzhen glared at Chu Fang, then turned to look at the chubby boy, frowning slightly: "Why are you wearing clothes like this again? Didn't I tell you? These clothes make you look too old-fashioned, not youthful at all. You don't look like a twenty-year-old boy, more like a middle-aged man. These clothes completely hide your handsomeness..."

"I forgot." Cai Guan scratched his head.

“How many times have you forgotten?” Jiang Wenzhen said. “No, I’m going to have Auntie supervise you.”

Jiang Wenzhen met Cai Guan's parents before they officially established a relationship. Cai Guan's parents did not discriminate against her because she was not from Shanghai. On the contrary, they were very supportive of the two being together.

Upon hearing that the two were in love, the two elders were overjoyed, and Jiang Wenzhen established a good relationship with them.

It has to be said that this couple's path was even smoother than that of Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue.

"You're so fussy and incessant, you're practically a mother hen," Chu Fang complained from the side.

"I'll fight you to the death today!"

Immediately, loud fighting sounds erupted in the studio, but everyone present remained engrossed in their work, unsurprised.
