In the Tanhua residential area, Chu Fang returned to the community and happened to see Zhong Tingyue pacing back and forth outside.

The bright moon shone on her slender figure, making her body appear exceptionally graceful.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he stepped forward.

“Your mother was chatting with those old ladies.” Zhong Tingyue lifted her chin.

Chu Fang looked in that direction and saw that Chu's mother was chatting excitedly with a group of extremely gossipy old ladies in the neighborhood.

As expected... only sociable people can get along.

The elderly ladies in Tanhua Residential Area are veritable pioneers of gossip; they know everything that happens in the neighborhood.

Once, Chu Fang and Chang Shen were taking a walk in the neighborhood, and the news spread throughout the entire neighborhood in an instant that the two had a 'bromance'.

For the next few days, all the residents in the community looked at him strangely.

The old ladies in this neighborhood are the type who gossip when they have something to say, and spread rumors when they don't.

Nothing else matters, just wanting to make myself happy, regardless of what happens to others.

Zhong Tingyue straightened Chu Fang's cuffs, sniffed, and tilted her head to look at him: "You smell like cheap perfume. Did you go to see some young lady?"

"I saw my old flame," Chu Fang answered 'honestly,' "and we even slept together."

"You're amazing."

"Don't believe me?" He took out his phone and played a video of what had happened in the bar room. The "gold digger" had stripped his clothes off and was taking intimate photos of him. The two had never been so intimate before. After he finished playing the video, he looked at his girlfriend and said in a rather smug tone, "See? Do you believe me now?"

Zhong Tingyue practically gritted her teeth: "You're something else, Chu Fang!"

Chu Fang straightened his chest, full of pride and smugness: "Yes, I'm very capable!"

Zhong Tingyue couldn't hold back any longer. She clenched her fist and landed it on her 'cheating boyfriend,' and the two of them started playfully fighting.

"Hey, your son and daughter-in-law are fighting. Did something happen between them?" The group of old ladies next to Chu's mother nudged her. "Do they have some kind of conflict?"

Looking in that direction, Chu's mother saw her 'good boy' being bullied by Zhong Tingyue, and she immediately became angry.

Someone actually bullied her son.

This is intolerable!

Chu's mother hurried over. Upon seeing the elder arrive, the young couple stopped their playful fight. Chu Fang put his hands in his pockets, while Zhong Tingyue smiled happily. Both of them looked extremely well-behaved.

Chu's mother glared at her future daughter-in-law, feeling that bullying her son was the same as bullying herself: "Why did you hit my little darling?"

“We were just joking around,” Zhong Tingyue explained.

Mother Chu looked at Chu Fang, who hesitated, pondering whether to clear Zhong Tingyue's name. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine. If he said something wrong, it would do him no good. He then nodded emphatically, agreeing with Zhong Tingyue's statement.

Chu's mother tilted her head: "Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Zhong Tingyue patted her chest.

"You're not allowed to play around like that anymore."

"clear!"

After giving them a warning, the three of them immediately headed home.

The group of gossipy old ladies watched the three figures disappear into the distance and whispered among themselves:

"Hey, why did those two kids start fighting?"

"Perhaps the relationship has cracked, or he's found another woman."

"Not necessarily. Times have changed. It could be a man."

“... ..."

Upon returning home, Zhong Tingyue parted ways with the mother and son. Back home, Zhong Rou was exercising, while Zhong Ping and Gao Ruoyun were whispering to each other. They stopped abruptly when they saw Zhong Tingyue return.

“Sister, you’re back,” Zhong Rou said.

"Go to bed, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"oh."

Zhong Tingyue turned around and saw two pairs of eyes staring like copper bells: "Father, Mother, is something the matter?"

The two elders said in unison, "No."

"Then you two should go to sleep early."

After saying that, she went to the room. Seeing the door close, the two elders raised their voices slightly. Gao Ruoyun said, "Husband, we've been here for several days now, and we've done everything we wanted to do. Shouldn't we discuss what to do next?"

In the past few days, Zhong Tingyue has taken both families on a trip to Shanghai, visiting all the classic tourist attractions. However, the trip was just a vacation, and the families did not discuss the official theme of the trip.

That is the future of Zhong Tingyue and Chu Fang.

Zhong Ping curled up: "Neither of the children are in a hurry, so why are you?"

"Of course I'm anxious!" Gao Ruoyun adjusted her posture, looking at her husband who seemed indifferent to the situation, and said with a hint of exasperation, "We have farm work to do, chickens and ducks to feed, and it costs several thousand yuan a day to stay here. It's ridiculously expensive!"

"It's not like you're the one paying for it."

Gao Ruoyun kicked her husband in anger.

He always acts like nothing is his problem, even if the sky falls.

... ...

When Zhong Tingyue returned to her room, she saw a message from Chu Fang.

[Solo Queue Player in Love: hehe.JpG]

[Solo player in a dating game: Got scolded, huh?]

[Wang Shu: You're such a grown man and still a mama's boy, you seem quite proud of that?]

[Solo queue player specializing in dating: Absolutely!]

[Wang Shu: Do you want to die?]

The two chatted idly, and then Chu Fang told Zhong Tingyue everything that had happened that night.

[Solo player in a dating game: As a top player, we should protect ourselves.]

[Wang Shu: Are you handsome?]

[Solo player in a dating game: Awesome!]

There is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. As they chatted, they ended up speeding to "Mount Akina", and Zhong Tingyue even posted a selfie.

The night was as dark as silk, and a black robe was gently draped over her shoulders. Its soft texture seemed to be the embodiment of the night itself. The robe's design was simple yet elegant, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. Every line seemed to tell a secret that no one knew.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the slightly curled ends shimmering with a soft sheen under the light, exuding both the charm and allure of a mature woman and the innocence and dreaminess of a young girl.

Chu Fang looked as if he were being pierced by a thousand arrows.

He bought the black pajamas, but he never got to enjoy them.

[Solo player seeking romance: Come to my room.]

[Wang Shu: Alas, he hasn't come.]

[Solo player in a dating game: I remember you owed me two things, but since you came, you only owe me one.]

[Wang Shu: The two things canceled each other out.]

[Solo player in dating mode: Okay!]

... ...

As night fell, Chu Fang quietly opened his door, and a delicate figure slipped into the covers. He, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly sprang to his feet.

Perhaps it was because their parents were there, or perhaps it was because they hadn't been affectionate in a long time, but this time it lasted exceptionally long.

The noise in the bedroom gradually subsided in the early hours of the morning.

Zhong Tingyue twisted Chu Fang's arm: "You're dead!"

He stared at the ceiling, slapped his face, and sighed deeply.

Zhong Tingyue: "You're having an attack?"

Chu Fang said helplessly, "I originally planned to use those two things for something else, but who knew they would be used up so quickly."

He always remembered that Zhong Tingyue owed him two things, which he had planned to use in better places—in the car, on the mountain, or even in the bustling city... But who knew that he would make the mistake that all men in the world make.

The lower body controls the upper body!

In the end, all he could do was look up to the sky and sigh, filled with deep regret.

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips: "Men, they're all the same, none of them are any good."

“... ..."
