Chapter 19 is still not paid off.

Zhang Huahua's first trip away from home was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden; she kept asking questions and was so excited that she didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

Looking out the car window at the pitch-black night, Zhang Pengfei recalled the first time he went to Beijing, the day before he was to register for school.

He and his father each carried a woven bag onto the train. Since they couldn't get seats, they sat in the connecting area between the carriages.

At that time, he was just as excited as his sister, full of curiosity and longing for their new life. His father was more happy. The two chatted all night on the train, and when they got off, they didn't feel tired at all.

My mother was a little disappointed at the time because the train tickets were too expensive and she couldn't go with my father to see him off, so she couldn't take the opportunity to see the big city.

Unexpectedly, just three years later, the man who sent him to the capital suddenly passed away, and his mother also came to the capital because of this. Now, even his younger sister is about to enjoy the educational resources of the capital. It's hard to know whether this is a blessing or a curse.

Zhang Pengfei was pulling a small suitcase containing only a few of his sister's favorite clothes. He wasn't even sure if Chen Jingyang would allow him to put them in the closet.

On the first day he lived with Chen Jingyang, Chen Jingyang threw away all the clothes he had brought—because he thought they were of poor quality, ugly, and an eyesore!

The thought of Chen Jingyang made Zhang Pengfei's feelings even more complicated.

Hua Hua asked him if he was living with his mother in Beijing. He said no, he was living with another older brother. But Chen Jingyang didn't say how the three of them would live together.

Zhang Pengfei thought about it all the way and asked Chen Jingyang several times, but Chen Jingyang deliberately didn't answer him and pretended to be blind every time the question came up!

After exiting the station, Zhang Pengfei looked around and easily spotted a familiar figure.

"Chen Jingyang!" Zhang Pengfei called out and waved.

Chen Jingyang turned around, holding a very cute brown plush bear in his arms.

The weather in Beijing this morning was exceptionally good. The light was bright but not glaring, the air was warm but not hot, and a gentle breeze was blowing through Chen Jingyang's soft hair.

The man smiled in the sunlight and walked towards him step by step. He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, simple yet stylish, with a kind of beauty that made people's hearts flutter.

For a moment, Zhang Pengfei was stunned.

Chen Jingyang walked up to the two of them, squatted down first and handed the teddy bear to Hua Hua: "Welcome to Beijing, little Zhang Hua Hua!"

Hua Hua's eyes lit up when she saw the doll. She was so happy that she danced around and hugged it, jumping up and down several times.

Zhang Pengfei was both amused and exasperated: "Say thank you, Brother Jingyang!"

Zhang Huahua immediately looked up at her with her little face and said thank you in a sweet and obedient way.

Chen Jingyang reached out and ruffled Huahua's hair with one hand, while unexpectedly pinching Zhang Pengfei's butt lightly with the other. Looking at Zhang Pengfei, he smiled meaningfully: "Huahua, no need to thank me, your brother can thank me!"

"Tsk! Chen Jingyang!" Zhang Pengfei's expression changed drastically. He subconsciously looked at what his sister was doing first, and seeing that the little girl's eyes were fixed on the bear, he glared at Chen Jingyang fiercely: "What are you doing! Don't you know what kind of occasion this is!"

Chen Jingyang was the most eccentric. Zhang Pengfei's indifference was fine, but such a big reaction, like a dog with its fur standing on end, immediately piqued his interest.

He didn't care about the occasion, wrapped his arms around Zhang Pengfei's neck and pulled him tightly into his embrace, then kissed him on the cheek as if whispering, "I was already being considerate of the occasion by not tearing you off and pinning you to the ground right there, huh?!"

"Hey, Chen Jingyang!" Zhang Pengfei shoved him away as if he'd been electrocuted. Like a thief who'd caught something stealing, he looked around to make sure everyone was in a hurry and no one was paying attention to them before glaring at Chen Jingyang: "Can't you fucking go home first before you talk to me!"

Chen Jingyang grinned mischievously and replied dismissively, "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll do it when I get home."

The word "do" might not mean much to outsiders, but Zhang Pengfei's face instantly lit up as if he had applied a layer of rouge—he knew better than anyone what Chen Jingyang was up to!

"You...!" Zhang Pengfei glared at Chen Jingyang, but he knew he couldn't win against him. So he swallowed his anger and tried to negotiate, "Be careful at home too, don't lead my sister astray!"

Chen Jingyang raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips, leaving behind an infuriating smile, leaving it unclear whether he agreed or not.

Zhang Pengfei was still worried, and took the opportunity to press him with the question he had been pondering all the way: "Chen Jingyang, what exactly are your plans for my sister? How are the three of us going to sleep?"

There are only two rooms in total. They take up one room and the study takes up the other. Are you suggesting that the younger sister sleep in the living room?

Yes! The living room is spacious enough to easily fit a bed; it just needs a little tidying up...

Chen Jingyang slowed down, his face showing immediate disgust: "Feifei, can you please watch the occasion when you speak? I know you miss me, but can you at least be a little more reserved? Stop thinking about sleeping all the time; it's not good if someone hears you like that!"

Zhang Pengfei: ...!

After several seconds, he asked Chen Jingyang in a low voice, "Did I?!"

Chen Jingyang gave him a handsome face that was both sincere and innocent: "No? You didn't even ask me which school I found for Huahua. All the way here you kept asking me how I sleep. Feifei, don't worry, there will always be half a place for you on my bed, no matter who comes!"

Zhang Pengfei: ...!

He shouldn't have asked!

However, since the topic of school had come up, Zhang Pengfei took the opportunity to ask him about school.

There are hundreds of private schools in the entire city of Beijing, with more than 20 in the district where the hospital is located alone. The conditions vary, and the fees range from 30,000 to 300,000 yuan per year.

Zhang Pengfei didn't ask Chen Jingyang about the school because he believed that going to school was a big deal and not easy to arrange. He thought Chen Jingyang would definitely wait for him to come back so that they could choose a school together before discussing enrollment.

Unexpectedly, in just two days, Chen Jingyang had already completed the enrollment procedures and even chose the most expensive one, with tuition fees of more than 200,000 yuan per year!

"Are you crazy?" Zhang Pengfei looked at Chen Jingyang in disbelief. If he weren't driving, Zhang Pengfei would have liked to crack open his head to see what was inside!

The expenses of a primary school student in one year can wipe out the salary of an average person for several years!

Is this necessary?

Chen Jingyang's reasons were: good teachers, good environment, good courses, and most importantly, the school belongs to the Chen family, so he only needs to show his face to get in without going through an interview, and it is close to home.

Chen Jingyang glanced at Zhang Pengfei and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm crazy? You're really comfortable sending Huahua to a boarding school? Or are you confident that Huahua can pass the interviews for other private schools?"

Zhang Pengfei was speechless when asked the question.

But a voice was clearly ringing in his mind: What he owed Chen Jingyang, he might never be able to repay!
