Chapter 30 Chapter 30 But I have a happy family! ...

Indeed, Fu Rouyun is not the same type as Yan Pei and Lu Yanxi, either in appearance or personality.

There's not even any overlap between the three of them.

This also makes people worried about what kind of person Cen Xue likes, and they don't know where to start to win him back and pursue him.

Yan Pei discovered something was wrong during the audition. As a mentor, he inevitably had the most contact with these two, so it was difficult for him not to notice certain details.

Especially Cen Xue's abnormal indulgence and protection of Fu Rouyun—

Coincidentally, his reactions today perfectly confirmed this.

And Lu Yanxi, a man who has delved into acting to perfection.

As one of the representatives of experiential actors, observation is his instinct. His frequent silence is just an excuse, as his attention has never left the stage.

He vaguely realized it earlier than Yan Pei.

When they arrived at the rating stage early, Fu Rouyun interrupted Yan Pei's targeting and took the initiative to change the subject. He caught Cen Xue's eyes clearly when she looked at Fu Rouyun.

That kind of eyes...looking for something through this figure.

But Lu Yanxi never thought of exposing it.

——What’s the point?

After all, in this relationship, it was Cen Xue who was absorbing the value of Fu Rouyun.

He was able to get what he wanted from Fu Rouyun, which made him feel satisfied. What's wrong with that?

When it comes to what Lu Yanxi owes to Cen Xue, she considers herself number one.

From the time he learned of his death seven years ago until now, he has never felt relieved. Day after day, he suffers from nightmares that are difficult to resolve. If all this had never begun, would Cen Xue not have lost her life so early?

And it all started with that sweet but... sinful kiss.

He is to blame for all the consequences.

Therefore, Lu Yanxi is absolutely partial to and protective of Cen Xue. This is a part of his atonement and compensation engraved in his life.

But it does not mean that you can love the whole house and the whole dog.

Yan Pei's eyes turned fierce after being provoked by Fu Rouyun's words.

He said, "What are you laughing at? It's just a stand-in."

Fu Rouyun refused to give in: "At least it's not you who's being replaced."

Then he said to Lu Yanxi: "It's not you either."

He pretended to be nonchalant and stretched.

"I'm so curious, who is this person that Cen Xue is so concerned about? Oh, maybe you don't know either?"

It hit a sore spot.

This is where the most serious problem lies.

Even if Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei dug up all the details of that year, they could not find any trace of that person.

It would be fine if it was during the four years after he faked his death and before he entered the Fu family.

What if... Cen Xue has been hiding this from everyone since seven years ago?

This wasn't aimless either. Seven years ago, Cen Xue was indeed like this—

The kind of person who rarely talks about his own personal affairs and only adds a few words when he sees that he can't skip it.

Cen Xue has a kind of magic. It is easy to get immersed in it when you are with him, and it makes you dizzy. Only when you get away from him, you will suddenly realize what you have missed during that period of time.

Then, a glaring and ironic truth will be placed before Lu Yanxi and Yan Pei——

He never really trusted them.

And another breakthrough point, will Fu Rouyun, who seems to be aware of his identity and status, know more?

Ignoring Qiqi's inquiring looks, Fu Rouyun just knocked on the table.

"You can't get his number if you don't finish this pot of tea."

"Oh, and no cheating by pouring it on the tea pet."

Yan Pei: “…”

...You little bastard.

Yan Pei gritted his teeth secretly.

I thought it was a killer move, but the damage was zero—what's the difference between it and hitting the air?!

Oh, of course he is the one who is being pampered by the tea.

It's really a matter of anger and shame, and the anger is endless.

Lu Yanxi had already finished his drink. He took the teapot and poured himself another bowl. He said calmly, "Being a substitute, is that something to be proud of?"

"I don't know if it's something to be proud of, but it will definitely be very popular."

Fu Rouyun propped up his chin and said, "After all, there are two people who don't even have the chance to be substitutes."

In a sense, a substitute is exclusive and unique.

"That's true," Lu Yanxi said with a look of nostalgia, "some people come too late and can't grab the first place, so they can only find some comfort."

Lu Yanxi is very qualified to say this.

Cen Xue's first love and first kiss were both with him, but saying that...

Just pretend, just pretend. Yan Pei didn't know when he grabbed the tea pet in his hand and knocked it on the table. It's not great if he came first? It's not necessarily much earlier.

I really want to record this scene and send it to Lu Yanxi's fans to see where the real person came from. He is a remnant of the previous dynasty.

She acted like a queen with a fortune of 2.85 million, but she was still the first one to be sentenced to the cold palace.

"I don't know what Senior is thinking, but I'm not too worried."

As he said this, Fu Rouyun's pointed canine teeth were slightly exposed. He let go of his control and no longer concealed his expression, his eyes full of provocation.

"Even though it happened later, as time goes by, love grows. Sooner or later, there will be a day when he will replace that person. At least he likes my type now."

"Then again, my advantages are obvious."

Fu Rouyun leaned back in his chair and sighed innocently:

"After all, compared to my predecessors, I have a happy family!"

*

Even if he knew that he was a substitute, it was only two or three months earlier than the two seniors here.

Even though he knew that for the past three years, Cen Xue would ask for leave every time at this time.

If it’s not today, it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

The scene before the audition emerged in his mind. He hugged Cen Xue's arm and insisted that he go with him.

"Let me check the calendar," Cen Xue said, noting something on her phone calendar. "If it ends before then, I can accompany you."

Fu Rouyun readily agreed: "It's just a one-round tour, brother, as long as you accompany me, I will be satisfied."

Now that I think about it, the date I glanced at at that time should be now.

But Fu Rouyun firmly believed in one thing.

——But he and Cen Xue must have had a destined and unique encounter.

…

We first met about three years ago and it was love at first sight.

Fu Rouyun skipped school.

The purpose is to run away from home.

The pockets on his clothes were too shallow, and his phone fell out without a trace. Furious with his family, he forced himself to hold back his anger and walked penniless from the bustling city center to the nearby university town.

As we all know, a university town can support half of the city's food stalls.

It was dinner time and everyone was setting up their stalls. The streets were crowded with people and the aroma of various things filled the air. Fu Rouyun was stunned for a few seconds and stood alone on the street in a daze, his stomach rumbling.

"Classmate, are you queuing?"

Besides the sound of questions, what broke into his world was the fresh smell of peaches.

Fu Rouyun turned around and saw Cen Xue, who was still a senior at university at that time, standing behind him, a little close. The scent of Feng Taozi shower gel drifted into his nose. Looking at him, she blushed for some reason.

“…You go first.”

The boy's characteristic stubbornness prevented Fu Rouyun from denying it directly.

He stepped aside and Cen Xue smiled at him.

——He is so cute.

This sentence suddenly flashed through Fu Rouyun's mind.

The slightly drooping eyelashes cast a layer of blurry mist on the eyes, just like the cat with built-in eyeliner that he had seen at a friend's house before.

He deliberately blocked the cat's way, and the cat came close to him, stretched out its paw pads to push his ankle, and then meowed softly and acted coquettishly.

At this time, Fu Rouyun had not yet realized the power of love at first sight, which would make people unable to control their wild imagination and imagine everything related to that person. They put in a lot of effort just to get in touch with him.

Since their first meeting today, he has been fantasizing about raising the same kitten together in the future.

Then wait happily for the kitten to come and knead your milk.

As if this could be a compliment—

"We are so destined to meet!"

However, the reality is that -

"Classmate, are you having any trouble?"

Fu Rouyun came back to his senses and realized that he had subconsciously followed Cen Xue.

Oh no! He froze. Would he be mistaken for a stalker?!

At this time, Fu Rouyun was the same height as Cen Xue, and the latter didn't have to look up at him like she did later.

The vaguely worried look in his eyes was too soft, and Fu Rouyun couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment and almost fell into it.

"I—am not from your school."

He put his hands in his pockets and spoke incoherently.

Cen Xue: "That's normal, this is a university town. I saw you were just staring at these crispy potatoes. Would you like some?"

Damn, it smells really good.

Fu Rouyun felt a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly. He took off the hood of his hoodie and said stubbornly, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Cen Xue said unexpectedly: "Sorry, I don't smoke."

"Oh, actually, I just tried it two days ago," Fu Rouyun said, "and my mom caught me red-handed...ah."

I let it slip.

In any case, college students should not be too worried about being caught smoking by their mothers.

Seeing Cen Xue's surprised and hesitant expression, Fu Rouyun gave up on himself.

"Well, actually I'm a high school student who wanted to run away from home, but I lost my phone and had no money, so I had to wander around!"

After saying that, he tugged at the string of his hoodie, and the hood was pulled back, hiding his entire face behind it.

It's just - so embarrassing!

The first time I got along with the person I liked, my immaturity was exposed.

Fu Rouyun felt a little desperate.

People cannot learn by teaching.

It is enough to teach someone a lesson once.

This was not the first time he had a quarrel with his family, but it was the first time he realized how outrageous and wrong it was to run away from home.

His eyes were blocked by the pulled-up hat, making it pitch black. He squatted down, ready to become a poor mushroom who achieved the legend of the fastest heartbreak.

But I smelled...

An increasingly spicy smell.

No, is this rice crust potato so delicious?

Why does it smell better the further you go?

His stomach growled even louder, and Fu Rouyun struggled and hesitantly pulled off his hat.

Then, he looked at Cen Xue.

This time I saw his face up close.

Help, I have never seen such a cute boy in my life, Fu Rouyun sighed in bold red words in his heart, his eyelashes blinked like two little butterflies flapping their wings.

And he didn't leave, which means he has me in his heart!

This is the cultural level of people whose total scores in all subjects are less than three digits, and they are not presentable.

Then they saw what was lying between them - the crispy rice potatoes.

Cen Xue lifted the small lunch box and squatted on the ground with him, "Don't you want to eat?"

Fu Rouyun swallowed his saliva.

"...I want it." He gave in.

Not only did he have rice crust potatoes, Cen Xue also treated him to one or two sides.

Lend him your cell phone so you can call home.

Fu Rouyun had eaten all kinds of delicacies in his daily life, but he didn't know whether he was too hungry or he was full of love. It was just a bowl of beef noodles, and the beef was a bit dry and hard. It was definitely not as good as top-grade Wagyu beef, but he still managed to slurp the noodles and felt happy.

"I have evening classes soon, so I won't be able to wait with you until your family arrives. Just in case," Cen Xue took out her wallet. Electronic payments are now widely available, but there are still occasional opportunities to use cash. "Take these, just in case."

Fu Rouyun stared blankly at the money in his hand.

He had never come across such scattered banknotes in his life.

There were a few ten- and twenty-dollar notes, then two or three one-dollar notes, and not even a fifty-dollar note.

But the paper is flat, the creases are uniform and neat, and there is no curling at all.

This shows how carefully the owner takes care of it.

But it seemed like that was all that was in Cen Xue's wallet.

He really made me cry.

For a stranger... you can give so much!

He is so kind!

Fu Rouyun's nose felt sore. "I will pay you back! Double, no! Ten times, a hundred times!"

"No, no need. It's just a piece of cake."

Cen Xue didn't know why Fu Rouyun suddenly became so determined, so she twitched her lips and politely declined.

His money was all in his cards and mobile phone, and he had a few cash bills that he couldn't spend, so he took this opportunity to do good deeds.

The moment he heard this reply, Fu Rouyun's soul became clear.

To be honest, he couldn't stand the way some of his friends acted so arrogantly just because they had a little wealth.

But driven by fate, in front of the object of love at first sight, Fu Shao, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, would suddenly feel a bit sentimental.

It turns out that there are people in this world who don’t care about his money at all and treat him well!
