Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...
Yes, Wei Caixia is about to give birth. She got pregnant at the beginning of last year and has been pregnant for more than nine months this year. She will give birth in just a few days, so he thought that as Rong Shunji's best friend, he should give her some gifts.
Of course, it's not just Wei Caixia's, but also those of her future children; preparations need to be made for all of them.
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi nodded in understanding: "Oh, I see."
Then he said, "How about I introduce you to him?"
"OK."
Then Li Sisi showed Chu Fang various cosmetics, all of which were very expensive. Li Sisi knew that Chu Fang was not short of money and was a well-known rich person in the whole school.
They used to drive Bugattis to school, looking very impressive.
As a man, he didn't understand these things. On Li Sisi's recommendation, he bought a relatively expensive cosmetic product.
Furthermore, based on the other party's recommendation, I bought some supplies suitable for newborn babies, such as clothing and small accessories.
Chu Fang bought them all, then went to the counter to swipe his card and pay. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your recommendation."
"I should be thanking you. I made quite a bit of money from this deal." Li Sisi pursed her lips. "By the way, Rong Shunji is almost a child. You're not still single, are you? That seems a bit too frugal. You rich people have such a boring life."
Chu Fang replied, "I have a fiancée."
Upon hearing this, Li Sisi's eyes showed surprise, not expecting such a reply, but she quickly recovered: "To be honest, I am very surprised. What kind of woman could catch your eye, Young Master Chu?"
"I'm also very lucky to have caught her eye." Chu Fang chuckled, glanced at the time, "Alright, I have to rush to the hospital, so I won't say any more. I'll introduce you to my fiancée another day when I have time, so don't feel inferior."
After saying that, he picked up the gift and left. Li Sisi watched his back until he disappeared from sight, then sighed and shook her head.
A colleague nudged her arm and said, "If you like her, go for it. Just watching her like this will never lead to anything."
Li Sisi withdrew her gaze and said as she walked into the store, "The most important thing for a person is to understand their own status and position, and not to fantasize about things that they cannot obtain."
The colleague tilted his head and asked, "Huh? What did she mean by that?"
The cashier said softly, "That's Sisi's college classmate. She just spent over ten thousand yuan."
Upon hearing this, the colleague immediately understood.
Although they are sales clerks at luxury goods stores, and their regular customers are all prominent and wealthy individuals, they are essentially just ordinary people who are acutely aware of the vast distance between themselves and those rich people.
... ...
Chu Fang drove to the hospital and followed the address to the delivery room.
At this moment, Rong Shunji, Wei Caixia, and Rong Shunji's mother were in the room. They had come to Shanghai to take care of their daughter-in-law who was about to give birth.
Upon seeing him, Rong Shunji snatched the gift and scolded, "You came all this way, but what kind of gift did you bring? Isn't this a slap in my face? I'm telling you seriously, you're not allowed to do this again next time."
Chu Fang: "..."
This is what it means to be shameless.
She received the gift, but also scolded him.
In ancient terms, it means that once you become that person, you also have to establish that person...
Chu Fang paused for a moment, then said, "Give it back to me."
"You're about to become an uncle, how can you ask me to pay you back?"
I really believed your lies!
Just as Chu Fang was speechless, Wen Xiangbing arrived, also carrying gifts.
Once the three brothers were all present, Rong Shunji's mother said, "Now that you three brothers are here, go outside and have a chat. I'll stay here and keep watch."
Wei Caixia, holding her stomach, said the same thing.
The three hadn't seen each other since the Lunar New Year. They looked at each other and immediately agreed.
After leaving the hospital, I didn't go too far. I just randomly found a restaurant next to the hospital and ordered some dishes.
Wen Xiangbing asked, "Want a drink?"
Rong Shunji: "I need to take care of Xiaoxia. I'll drink with you all after she gives birth."
Chu Fang also refused: "Don't drink and drive."
Since both of them said so, Wen Xiangbing didn't say anything more, smacking his lips: "It's boring. I think college was so carefree, but growing up brings so many worries. Growing up really has no meaning."
During college, the four of us in the dorm would often eat barbecue, drink alcohol, and chat until late at night. After the dorm doors were closed, we would simply book an all-nighter online.
When Chu Fang was in a good mood, he would also provide companions, all of whom were very expensive, costing thousands of yuan per hour. Wen Xiangbing would pull his companions to talk about postgraduate entrance exams; Rong Shunji wanted to pursue his companion, but was politely rejected, and the two of them were arguing; while Shao Liang and his companions would talk about who was stronger, Agumon or Biyomon.
It has to be said that oddballs are attractive; these three oddballs got together but didn't do anything productive.
Chu Fang, on the other hand, seemed much more normal. He hired two companions to chat with him, letting the two smooth-talking companions talk about all sorts of things, to see who would shut up first.
“Yes.” Rong Shunji sighed. “Growing up is really boring. I don’t want to grow up either, but unfortunately, people will eventually grow up.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "But growing up has its own unique charm, and I like my current state."
Chu Fang asked, "What does it feel like when the baby is about to be born?"
Wen Xiangbing also looked at Rong Shunji, who pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... tension, anxiety, fear, anticipation, excitement, joy... it's very complicated. You'll understand when you have children."
Wen Xiangbing said, "We'll have to ask for the prescription for that. I'm still early."
Chu Fang then asked Wen Xiangbing, "Are you really planning to remain a bachelor for the rest of your life?"
“No.” Wen Xiangbing shook his head. “But in this era, you can’t get married without the means. Love is based on material foundations. I will wait until I have the means before I get married. Otherwise, I would rather not get married at all.”
Chu Fang and Rong Shunji exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
The other three of the four roommates were somewhat idealistic and had expectations for the world to varying degrees, but Wen Xiangbing was not.
Compared to the three of them, he views everything in the world from a more realistic perspective.
This viewpoint is correct in today's atmosphere, but sometimes the demands on oneself are too harsh, and no one can persuade them otherwise.
Sometimes, when you think about it, Wen Xiangbing's point of view is actually correct.
With the cost of marriage so high these days, one naturally needs to be financially capable to dare to get married.
Even the pure relationship between Rong Shunji and Wei Caixia required 500,000 yuan to have any further development.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, it's pointless." Wen Xiangbing shook his head and looked at Rong Shunji, saying, "Next, we'll wait for your child's wedding. I want to be the eldest uncle, and Chu Fang will be the second eldest uncle."
Chu Fang retorted, his neck stiff: "Why should I?"
I'm older than you.
"Only tortoises compare their ages."
