Chu Fang replied.

[Solo player in dating: ... ...]

Chu's mother is a 25-hour high-intensity "surfing" expert, and she replied to the message immediately.

[A little fairy: What do you mean?]

[A little fairy: Now you don't even want to reply with text anymore?]

[A little fairy: Are you disgusted with me?]

[A little fairy: Wait, is a bad woman trying to contact you on WeChat?]

[A little fairy: You wicked woman, I will never forgive you!]

Chu Fang smiled.

In the end, Chu's mother did not let Zhong Tingyue off the hook.

Good... ...

He can only find peace when his mother and daughter-in-law are arguing.

Chu Fang then responded to all messages and posted an Alipay password red envelope on his WeChat Moments.

[A Hero's Spirit and a Tender Heart (Gentle Version): 0.01?]

[Nana: Chu Fang, can you just die?]

[Solo queue player @Nana: Not convenient.]

Chu Fang pouted: "Today is my birthday, why didn't you guys give me a red envelope?"

So they're all just fair-weather friends.

Soon, the Zhong sisters returned from grocery shopping.

Zhong Rou frowned: "Brother-in-law, you're too stingy. The birthday red envelope is only 0.01. What a waste of your time."

"I'm about to send a big one." Chu Fang pulled all his close friends and relatives into a group chat, and then prepared to send a huge red envelope to celebrate his birthday.

"Don't rush!" Zhong Rou shouted upon hearing this, "Let me use a cheat code first."

Chu Fang: "..."

Zhong Rou loves money, so she naturally loves grabbing red envelopes. She even created a special tool to grab red envelopes. She joined many groups, all kinds of so-called welfare groups, and made a lot of money every day by using the tool to grab red envelopes.

On one occasion, she even joined a stock trading group. When the stock price went up, someone in the group would send out red envelopes (digital cash gifts), and her sister-in-law's daily earnings were quite substantial.

Finally, she was kicked out of the stock trading group for only taking money and not sending any. She was furious and reported the group for illegal fundraising, insults, coercion, and invasion of privacy. She wrote a report of over a thousand words and "blew up" the stock trading group.

What shocked Chu Fang even more was that after her sister-in-law's WeChat group was shut down, she patted her chest and said something particularly striking: "Cyberbullying is terrifying. Luckily, I was the perpetrator."

Upon hearing this, Chu Fang made a judgment.

This child is here for life!

Chu Fang sent the red envelope and then stopped looking at it. He then went into the kitchen, put his arm around Zhong Tingyue's slender waist, and asked, "Ms. Zhong, what are you planning to do today?"

"What would you like to eat?" Zhong Tingyue rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and smooth arms.

Chu Fang rattled off a list: "Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose..."

Zhong Tingyue's bright eyes revealed a narrow slit, emitting a cold and slightly mocking white light; the eye roll was perfectly timed.

Chu Fang perked up: "Hey, that's right, look at me like that, with disdain and contempt."

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

My own husband is a pervert.

Chu Fang originally wanted to help out, but Zhong Tingyue pushed him out of the kitchen, as she was preparing to cook her husband's birthday meal by herself.

This continued from morning until sunset.

"It's finally done. I'm starving!" Zhong Rou said, rubbing her stomach.

"You ate all that KFC at noon today," Chu Fang said.

“Yes, why am I still hungry after eating KFC?” Zhong Rou tilted her head and then said in a mournful voice, “Sister, I’m sick, I have anorexia.”

This is anorexia nervosa, Chu Fang's mouth is twitching.

The three of them worked together to bring the food to the table and fill it with dishes. Just as Chu Fang was about to start eating, Zhong Tingyue stopped him, saying, "Wait, there's more."

He then went into the kitchen, brought out a bowl of noodles, and introduced it, saying, "This is longevity noodles I made, wishing Mr. Chu a long and healthy life, as long as the Southern Mountains."

Zhong Rou chimed in, "May my brother-in-law live forever."

The initial words of blessing were fine, but as for the rest... ...it's unnecessary.

The family of three had a simple birthday dinner.

After finishing his meal, Chu Fang went downstairs to digest his food and waited for Zhong Tingyue to wash the dishes before going for a walk outside.

Taking walks has become one of their most frequent daily activities, and the longer they spend together, the more they enjoy it.

Chu Fang chatted idly with the security guard at the entrance: "Hey? Where's the old man?"

"He had a heart attack."

"Who made you angry?"

"Your sister-in-law."

"Oh, then it's alright." Chu Fang understood.

Zhong Rou is the security guard's nemesis. Luckily, the old man doesn't have a heart condition, or he would have been driven to his death by anger long ago.

As for why he said he had a heart attack, it must be because that old man was slacking off again.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, and an unexpected scene appeared in his pupils.

Three people were standing across the street. One of them was Zhou Zhou's sister, Xiang Linlin, and the other two were a middle-aged man and woman who, judging from their appearance, seemed to be Xiang Linlin's parents.

Xiang Linlin's face was flushed, as if she was arguing with her parents.

Xiang Linlin seemed to notice Chu Fang's gaze, turned to look at him, and he smiled slightly, nodded, and greeted her.

Xiang Linlin smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Then Xiang Linlin pulled the middle-aged couple away from the place.

"Who is that?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

"Xiang Linlin and her parents."

How did you know?

"Just a guess."

Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."

Just guessing? Could you please not answer with such certainty?

Then Zhong Tingyue took Chu Fang's arm, and the two strolled along the street at a leisurely pace.

They remained silent, thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere of their walk.

While strolling to the mall, Zhong Tingyue wanted to buy Chu Fang a birthday present, but she couldn't decide what to get. Her Mr. Chu seemed to have everything.

"Mr. Chu, what do you want?" Zhong Tingyue asked.

"World peace."

Zhong Tingyue ignored Chu Fang and then dragged him around to various stores, eventually buying a bouquet of roses.

"I don't think any girl has ever given you flowers in my life."

Chu Fang thought for a moment: "There really isn't."

He has received many confessions of love, but no girl has ever given him flowers. It seems that girls subtly ignore giving flowers to boys.

Chu Fang felt that as a man, he didn't value flowers and didn't have the same flower obsession as women. But the moment he accepted the rose, he suddenly realized that he had misjudged the situation.

He also likes flowers.

"Ms. Zhong, I'll follow you in my next life too."

"I won't agree!" Zhong Tingyue said haughtily.

"You're being a bit stubborn, that's true."

“... ..."

After their walk, the two returned home, where Chu Fang placed the fresh flowers in a vase in the most prominent position.

Ding ding ding... ...

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhong Rou went to open it and saw that it was her neighbors Zhou Zhou, Chen Wan'er, and Xiang Linlin. She then welcomed the three of them in.

Upon seeing that they were the tenants from next door, Chu Fang asked, "Is there something you need?"

The three looked at each other and shoved one another, seemingly unable to express their thoughts.

Zhong Tingyue greeted the three tenants, gestured for them to sit down, and said softly, "Is there something you can't say? We'll do our best to help."

Looking at Zhong Tingyue's exquisitely beautiful face, Xiang Linlin couldn't help but feel inferior. She opened her mouth, but then closed it again.

Zhou Zhou seemed unable to stand the atmosphere and said directly, "Landlord, can you be Linlin's boyfriend?"

Chu Fang: "!!!"

Zhong Tingyue: "???"

Zhong Rou: "?乛?乛?"
