Wang Shan's face looked unhappy. Li Ze and Gao Zixuan were also standing there, and neither of them could get a word in.

Fu Ying and Chen Xing felt that the atmosphere over there was not right.

Fu Ying asked Wang Shan, "What's wrong?"

Wang Shan folded her arms and said nothing, her face showing anger.

Fu Ying learned what had happened from Li Ze.

Fu Ying first scolded Li Ze and Gao Zixuan, but these two people would find trouble and wanted to drink alone, but they insisted on suggesting that everyone drink together.

What a bad friend.

Although Li Ze and Gao Zixuan were afraid of Chen Tian, ​​he was still quite friendly when Chen Tian didn't take action. But Fu Ying was different.

She would not show mercy to them. She would beat them whenever she wanted, and they would have no way to fight back. Beating a woman was not something a good man would do.

Fu Ying's aura is even more powerful, and a glance from her can make Li Ze and Gao Zixuan dare not even breathe.

Li Ze and Gao Zixuan were so convinced by Fu Ying that they never mentioned drinking again. They just sat together on the sofa without saying a word.

Fu Ying went to persuade Wang Shan again, "Shanshan, Li Ze and Gao Zixuan are just talking casually. It's almost twelve o'clock now. If you drink again, aren't you afraid of being scolded by your mother when you get home?"

Wang Shan still listened to Fu Ying, but she was irritated by the way Chen Tian spoke every word for Chen Xing.

Wang Shan said, "Yingying, I'm not angry about that, and I didn't say I had to drink. I...you don't understand."

Wang Shan talked for a long time but couldn't put it into words. Was it because it was hard to say it out loud, or was she just jealous?

Fu Ying saw that Wang Shan still cared about Chen Tian, ​​so the only way for them to get along was to create some private space for them to spend time together.

Fu Ying said, "It's getting late anyway, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so we should probably just go home."

Chen Xing had wanted to leave a long time ago. When she stood up, she was suddenly stared at by a sharp gaze.

Why was Wang Shan staring at her like that? Chen Xing hadn't even figured out what was going on when she was being targeted.

Fu Ying threw Wang Shan's bag to Chen Tian and said, "Chen Tian, ​​please take Shan Shan home. Chen Xing and I want to stay a little longer, so I'll take her back."

Chen Tian didn't react to Fu Ying's intention for a moment, and was about to say something.

Fu Ying pulled Chen Xing towards the door and said, "Chen Tian, ​​don't worry. I will definitely send Chen Xing home safely. We'll leave first."

It was too late for Chen Tian to say anything, Fu Ying had already pulled Chen Xing away.

Chen Tian felt relieved when Fu Ying sent Chen Xing home. After all, among his friends, Fu Ying was the only one who was reliable.

Li Ze and Gao Zixuan also left one after another.

Chen Tiancai realized Fu Ying's intention and whether to say it or not, Fu Ying helped him out a lot.

With Fu Ying's help, Chen Tian and Wang Shan had fewer quarrels.

Fu Ying rode an electric bike to take Chen Xing home.

On the way, Chen Xing asked, "Sister Yingying, is your home far away? Can I come visit you later?"

Chen Xing didn't know how Fu Ying pulled her away, but she liked Fu Ying very much and didn't refuse.

Fu Ying said, "Sure. I'll give you my contact information later. Go back and add me as your friend. Next time you come here, I'll pick you up."

Chen Xing smiled and said, "Okay."

After that, the two of them were silent for a long time and didn't speak again.

Chen Xing was still immersed in joy. Although he didn't want to attend this party at first, the process was okay.

Fu Ying and Wang Shan have known each other for quite some time and they are still friends. The last time Wang Shan met Chen Xing, Fu Ying heard about it from Wang Shan.

Fu Ying could feel that Wang Shan was hostile towards Chen Xing. She also advised Wang Shan that Chen Xing was just Chen Tian’s sister and Chen Tian only treated her as a sister.

But Wang Shan just couldn't accept Chen Tian's kindness to Chen Xing, and even became more and more aggressive in monopolizing Chen Tian.

If Fu Ying didn't know that Chen Tian liked Wang Shan and Wang Shan also liked Chen Tian, ​​and she didn't want to see either of them get hurt, she would have to be the peacemaker.

The reason Fu Ying could think of was probably because of Wang Shan's family. Wang Shan was an only child and the only girl in the family. She had been spoiled since she was a child, so she couldn't bear to see the person she liked thinking about other people besides being nice to her.

Her personality is such that she wants to get everything. She is too selfish and never considers others.

Fu Ying couldn't convince Wang Shan, and she didn't know how long her relationship with Chen Tian would last, but she still hoped that both of them would be fine.

Fu Ying suddenly said, "Chen Xing, can you please stop blaming Wang Shan?"

Fu Ying said this to Chen Xing for some reason, but her intention was good.

Chen Xing hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Sister Yingying, you know I don't like Sister Shanshan, right?"

Chen Xing thought she had disguised herself carefully enough, but when she heard Fu Ying's request, she realized that Fu Ying wanted to speak for Wang Shan.

Fu Ying said: "I can feel it."

Although Fu Ying did not mention Wang Shan during her conversation with Chen Xing, she could feel that the way Chen Xing looked at Wang Shan was different from the way he looked at her.

In Chen Xing's eyes, Fu Ying and Wang Shan were both strangers. Although he treated them very politely, there were differences between them.

Chen Xing said: "Maybe I was too extreme today and shouldn't have lost my temper with my brother, but from my perspective, I only want the best for my brother."

"I know my brother likes Sister Shanshan, and he doesn't want me to be wronged, so I have to be the one to make him happy."

Fu Ying responded: "I understand."

Fu Ying understood what Chen Xing said. They were in the same yet different state of mind.

Chen Xing continued, "You all think I'm young and don't understand what love is, but I know that if you like someone, you should treat him well."

"But I don't understand. Is the relationship between my brother and Sister Shanshan really love?"

Chen Xing's question stumped Fu Ying, and she couldn't answer.

Fu Ying said with her own understanding: "There are many kinds of people in this world, and their likes are the same. Maybe he likes what she gives him."

After Fu Ying said this, she felt uncomfortable.

I don’t know whether she felt sorry for Chen Tian for not getting equal return, or whether she was disgusted with Wang Shan’s constant demands and dissatisfaction.

At that time, Chen Xing didn’t understand Fu Ying’s words “he liked what she gave him”. He always felt that it contained some personal emotions, but he couldn’t grasp the deeper meaning.

On New Year's Eve, Chen Xing was sent home by Fu Ying at almost one o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, he had reported to Chen Hai and Gao Yamei in advance, otherwise Chen Xing would have been scolded.

Chen Xing slept until he woke up naturally. Gao Yamei and Chen Hai were busy cleaning the house early in the morning and had no time to take care of Chen Xing. Chen Yue also got up early to watch TV with the old lady.

In the whole family, only Chen Xing slept until eleven o'clock.

When Chen Xing got up, she still looked like she hadn't slept enough. If she wasn't hungry, she would have continued sleeping.

It’s all because I didn’t eat much last night. Instead, I ate a whole plate of watermelon and cantaloupe, and went to the bathroom several times throughout the night.

While Chen Xing was washing up in the yard, he stretched and looked up at the sky. It seemed that the weather was going to change.

In the past, New Year’s Eve was always sunny, but this year’s sky was not blue at all, and was covered with dark clouds, as if it was holding its breath.

Chen Xing suddenly had a bad feeling. Such weather would really affect a person's mood.

"Chen Xing, help me bring in the broom from outside." Gao Yamei shouted in the house.

Chen Xing quickly rinsed his mouth to wash off the toothpaste foam, then took the broom and went into the house.

Chen Xing handed the broom to Gao Yamei and said, "Mom, why is it so cold today?"

Chen Xing had only been brushing his teeth in the yard for a few minutes, and he felt the cold wind blowing even though he was only wearing a sweatshirt.

Gao Yamei was sweeping the floor when she said, "Didn't the forecast say there would be heavy snow tomorrow? The weather is bad today, so wear more clothes when you go out."

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Oh."

Gao Yamei came back to her senses and said, "You can't go anywhere today. Your father and I were busy visiting relatives the past few days and had no time to take care of you. You and Xiaotian were almost never home, and I didn't see you all day."

Chen Xing knew that she would be scolded. She just listened to Gao Yamei's words. It was not convenient to talk while washing her face.

Gao Yamei talked a lot to herself and didn't hear Chen Xing say a word, not even a response.

Gao Yamei walked up to Chen Xing and said it again in her ear.

Gao Yamei nagging, "Chen Xing, did you hear that? You can't go anywhere today. I never saw you running around outside when we were at home. Now that you're back home, you've become even wilder. Winter vacation is almost halfway over. How much homework have you done?" "Why don't you learn from your sister? She finished all her homework in just one week. Now it's time to prepare for the college entrance exam. I agree that you can learn painting, but there are requirements. If you don't pass the exam, I think you shouldn't go to school anymore..."

Chen Xing wiped his face dry and said impatiently, "Mom, I know what's going on. I don't need you to remind me."

Every time Gao Yamei used Chen Yue as an example, Chen Xing couldn't stand it anymore. No one wanted to be used as a negative example by their parents.

Gao Yamei rolled her eyes and said, "It's good that you know."

"By the way, your aunt and her family are coming here this afternoon to celebrate New Year's Eve. Your uncle and aunt will also be here later. Remember to call them. Don't be like a wooden man and say nothing."

Chen Xing originally thought that he would not be able to see his aunt's family until after the New Year, or at least he would have less contact with them for a few days. What Chen Xing hated most was his aunt's family.

Chen Xing said reluctantly, "Why are they here at this time? Don't they usually come back on the second day of the New Year?"

Gao Yamei waved her hand and said, "How would I know? Your dad suddenly called this morning and said he was on his way. I heard something must be wrong."

Gao Yamei and Chen Hai were also notified at the last minute. Every New Year's Eve, they and Chen De, Liu Fang and others would have a reunion dinner together in the old house.

As a result, Chen Rong's family also wanted to come this year, and they couldn't refuse. This family was very picky about food, so they had to prepare more.

Gao Yamei had been busy with this since early morning. Chen Hai was busy preparing ingredients in the kitchen. The fish, shrimp and meat in the refrigerator had to be thawed in advance.

They hadn't eaten since morning, so they prepared something for the old lady and have been busy ever since.

Chen Xing was in an even worse mood at this moment. His premonition was right. The person he least wanted to see was here.
