stray dogs begging for food

Why? Perhaps it's because he has no power or influence, and he's backed by the Yun family, who may not even genuinely want to protect him. Huang Fuda is just a stray dog ​​begging for food in Xianye, with no home or relatives, relying entirely on flattery and pandering to obtain this small business owner status.

Huang Fuda wasn't particularly kind, but he didn't want to put Yang Zhengping in a difficult position. Yang Zhengping was one of the few people in his decades-long life who genuinely cared for him. Although Yang Zhengping refused to acknowledge him as his son, Huang Fuda secretly considered him his father.

There's been no progress on Lao Liu's case at the higher levels, but he has other connections. However, he'll have to use Yun Ge's name for this.

Yunge has a partner named Bao Rongxiang, who works in real estate and has some shady dealings. Yunge obtained the land for Huang Fuda's first hotel from Bao Rongxiang as compensation for him.

Huang Fuda had often invited Bao Rongxiang out to play mahjong and drink, trying various ways to make him happy. However, Bao Rongxiang didn't always come; he would only come once or twice out of ten, which was considered a courtesy.

So when Huang Fuda found out that Bao Rongxiang would be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his new building the next day, he planned to go and bump into him. Unfortunately, the man left immediately after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, without even having eaten at the banquet.

Unable to catch the man, Huang Fuda could only politely send a message to Bao Rongxiang to arrange a meeting. However, there was no reply, so Huang Fuda had no choice but to wait patiently.

During this time, Lin Xiting left, taking with him a hotel he had promised to give her. Meanwhile, Yunquanhui was under construction and would be completed in two more months.

Meanwhile, Yun Ge's secretary reminded him that the building tender was still a month away and asked if he had made up his mind. Huang Fuda verbally postponed it for a few more days, but his subordinates simultaneously instructed the project team to prepare the tender documents.

During this period, something particularly unsettling happened in Xianye.

In the classroom, the broken fan overhead barely produced any air, only a buzzing sound. The dryness of autumn was bothersome, but what bothered the students even more was not this.

"Have you ever heard of couples who run away together?" Liu Jiacheng asked.

"I've heard of it." Fang Chuan's hands kept moving as he took notes.

They were a couple who had infectious diseases but still traveled around and posted videos of themselves on the internet.

"They've come to Xianye. They've been staying at various hotels these past few days. I heard they've already been to Qihe, Anguo, and Shengxiang hotels. What are those two plagues doing here? Damn it, I'm definitely not going to those hotels again."

The hand that was taking notes stopped, and the question was asked, "Did you only go to these few hotels? Didn't you go to the other hotels?"

"I heard that's not the case. Other hotels know they're here and have blacklisted them, not even letting them in the door. They have nowhere to stay and it seems they're planning to leave."

Fang Chuan stared at the words on the notebook, his thoughts drifting back to Huang Fuda on Yun Island.

He didn't want to keep thinking about him. Fang Chuan had his own pride. He was rejected like that, and he wasn't being cheap and had to try to get close to him.

But I just couldn't help it.

Whenever he heard any news about that place, he would start thinking about Huang Fuda, which surprised him. He, Fang Chuan, was clearly not that kind of person. He always parted ways amicably with others. Why was it that he couldn't let go of Huang Fuda?

Liu Jiacheng has a girlfriend who is a sophomore in college. During a break between classes, she runs to the back door of the classroom to bring Liu Jiacheng milk tea. The two are so affectionate that they don't part until class is about to start.

Liu Jiacheng, holding his half-finished milk tea, sat back down next to Fang Chuan with a smile, completely unlike his usual composed and studious self.

Love is truly a magical thing, Fang Chuan thought to himself.

But what does that feel like? He suddenly became curious.

"Liu Jiacheng".

"Um?"

"Is being in a relationship this fun?"

"Of course, you're not happy with your relationship."

...My partner was at best a collaborator.

"I haven't talked about it, but I'm a little curious."

Liu Jiacheng's eyes widened, his face full of shock. "What about all those guys who pursued you before? None of them worked out? Your standards are way too high."

They're both women, how can that work? Fang Chuan didn't want to come out to Liu Jiacheng either. He was afraid that if he told Liu Jiacheng, it would reach his mother's ears that very night.

He had always suspected that his mother had planted someone around him, and during his last business trip to Shenyang, he tested the waters and was successfully tricked into revealing it. Now that he was more certain, he was much more careful in his daily actions. Moreover, he couldn't expose Liu Jiacheng's affair, otherwise, who knew who else might join his inner circle.

Fang Chuan smiled and said to him, "Maybe my standards are too high. You still haven't told me what it's like to be in a relationship."

“I can see the person I want to see anytime, and the person I want to see also wants to see me. When I see them, we're happy just talking. When I can't see them, I feel restless and my mind is filled with thoughts of them.” Liu Jiacheng’s face was full of happiness, clearly lost in some kind of memory.

Fang Chuan's eyes widened as he listened. It seemed to resemble his feelings for Huang Fuda.

I, Fang Chuan, want to date Huang Fuda?

Impossible! Are you kidding me?

Feelings are the least trustworthy thing. Did his parents love each other? Maybe they did decades ago, but not anymore. Does Teacher Bai love her father? Teacher Bai herself doesn't know. From the beginning of her graduate studies, she was blinded by Dean Fang's aura and stepped into the circle that Dean Fang drew for her, "willingly" becoming Fang Chuan's "older sister".

Fang Chuan's feelings? The seemingly harmonious family he knew, except for himself, were all an act. That "sister" would sway her dress open on the floor of his father's study. His usually impeccably dressed and dignified father would stand before her, using the leather shoes his son had bought for him to lift her chin. His mother, on the other hand, tacitly approved of it all. Her career only required a superficially glamorous family. She poured all her affection for her family into Fang Chuan, a mere child, and then monitored and controlled him.

Fang Chuan went from feeling nauseous and trembling at the sight of leather shoes to willingly kneeling on the ground. He couldn't help but like them; if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to live in that house.

Now he's expected to talk to others about liking or loving them.

Are you kidding me?

Is it only physical intimacy that's bad? Being each other's sole physical connection, without expecting anything in return, is such a comfortable relationship.

But Huang Fuda was unwilling. It was fine if he was unwilling, but I still kept thinking about him.

How pathetic.

How pathetic Fang Chuan is.

Fang Chuan attended a class in a daze, drove in a daze, and then crashed into a tree.

He woke up from his dream, covered his forehead and got out of the car, blood flowing from between his fingers, and leaned against the car to wait for the insurance company.

There weren't many people on this road, but perhaps Fang Chuan and Huang Fuda were destined to meet, as he just happened to pass by.

Huang Fuda's car stopped next to Fang Chuan, and the rear window slowly rolled down, revealing Huang Fuda's face.

"How did it get like this?"

Fang Chuan looked at Huang Fuda, somewhat doubting whether he had been stunned by the collision, and said hesitantly, "...I was distracted."

When will the insurance company arrive?

"I just said we were almost there," Fang Chuan said, looking at the car with the words "XX Insurance" on it driving towards him. He then changed his words to, "They're here."

Even after Fang Chuan sat down next to Huang Fuda, he still felt a little unreal.

Also, so this is what it feels like to sit side by side with Mr. Huang in the back seat.

Fang Chuan's face was turned around by Huang Fuda, and the hand covering the wound was removed. Huang Fuda leaned close to Fang Chuan's wound and examined it carefully. His warm breath hit Fang Chuan's face, making Fang Chuan breathe cautiously.

Huang Fuda took out a few sheets of paper, moistened them with a newly opened bottle of mineral water, and gently wiped around the wound.

Fang Chuan glanced up and secretly looked at Huang Fuda's serious face.

Why are you in front of me again, Huang Fuda? What am I supposed to do?

After Huang Fuda finished wiping the area around his wound, Fang Chuan quietly placed his blood-stained hand next to Huang Fuda's hand holding the tissue, watching him wipe his hand clean as well.

Fang Chuan couldn't help but bury his face in Huang Fuda's neck, sniffing it carefully, and asked, "Won't taking me to the hospital interfere with Boss Huang's business?"

Pushing the head off my shoulder, I threw the tissue into the small trash can. "It'll be fine now."

"So where are you going?"

"Go to Yunshan Orphanage and give stars to the stars."

It's that little girl who always called Mr. Huang "Dad," but Huang Fuda really did pluck the stars off her head?

"Where did the boss pick those stars?"

Huang Fuda took out a small box from his side and took out a wind chime-like object, except that it had small stars of varying heights hanging from it, and a crescent moon in the center.

He flipped a switch, and the stars below lit up around the moon. As the car swayed, the stars touched the moon, producing a clear, chiming sound.

Fang Chuan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he asked, "Where did the boss buy it?"

“I can’t buy it, so I made it myself.” Huang Fuda smiled smugly at him.

Fang Chuan grasped Huang Fuda's hand, his eyes shining: "Boss, I want one too!"

I'll make it for you when I have time.

As is typical of bosses, making empty promises still made Fang Chuan happy all the way.

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Fang Chuan's head wound had almost healed. However, Huang Fuda still took him for a CT scan and other tests. After confirming that there were no problems, they prepared to leave.

Fang Chuan's hand involuntarily grabbed Huang Fuda's, and he blurted out, "I also want to go to the orphanage with you."

Huang Fuda turned around to look at him, pried his hand off, left him with the words "go home and rest early," and then turned and left.

With his hands empty, Fang Chuan clenched his fists uncomfortably and decided to go home. But as he turned a corner, he bumped into Liu Jiacheng, who was accompanied by a middle-aged man.

Liu Jiacheng spoke first: "Chuan'er, what happened to your head?"

"I accidentally crashed my car. What brings you here..." Fang Chuan looked at the middle-aged man next to Liu Jiacheng.

"I brought my dad to the hospital for a check-up."

Liu Jiacheng's father, Liu Zhi, came here to work, but he hadn't found a job yet. After hearing this, Fang Chuan casually suggested that being a foreman at a construction site was usually easy, and suggested asking if they needed anyone.

Tiancheng Construction has participated in many construction projects in Xianye, and Liu Jiacheng often deals with Fang's mother, so he is naturally aware of this. He's just too embarrassed to ask, since Fang's mother has already given him a lot of money each time, and there's no reason for her to arrange a job for his father.

Since Fang Chuan had already said so, he used this as an excuse to go see Fang's mother. When Fang's mother heard that it was her precious son's idea, she waved her hand and told her subordinates to do it, and the work problem was quickly resolved.

However, Liu Jiacheng concealed something from Fang's mother.

Actually, he saw Fang Chuan and Huang Fuda together at the hospital. Their relationship didn't seem like that of strangers, but it wasn't that intimate either. There was just a strange atmosphere between them.

Liu Jiacheng had just gotten his father a job thanks to Fang Chuan, and felt indebted to Fang Chuan. So he only told Fang Chuan's mother about Fang Chuan's injury, and didn't mention Huang Fuda's matter at all.

After parting ways with Liu Jiacheng, Fang Chuan was worried that Huang Fuda would be seen. He was anxious for several days, and only when Fang's mother didn't mention it did he feel relieved.

However, Huang Fuda on the other side ran into trouble when someone with ulterior motives dug up the issue of the hotel land rights in the neighboring city.
