The moon is bright and the stars are few tonight, with a gentle breeze blowing.
As Chu Fang left the Western restaurant, he reached out his hand, trying to catch the breeze. Unfortunately, no matter how tightly he held on, he couldn't hold onto a wisp of wind. It spun in his palm, flew out, and scattered in all directions.
"Sigh!" Seeing this, he sighed and said with emotion, "The wind is so strong today, and it will be even stronger in the next few days."
Zhong Tingyue sensed it for a moment: "How did you know?"
"Because I miss you so much I'm going crazy."
“... ..."
Despite its rustic charm, Zhong Tingyue was quite taken with it.
Her lips curved slightly upward, forming a perfect arc: "Okay, okay, I'll get used to it as soon as possible."
The two embraced and then went their separate ways.
Chu Fang gazed at Zhong Tingyue's slender and well-proportioned figure, her elegant gait like a spring breeze caressing the water's surface, light yet powerful. Only after her graceful figure disappeared from his sight did he slowly withdraw his gaze and softly murmur to himself:
"That woman really left? Heartless and ungrateful..."
He then took a taxi to Zhonghai Mingyuan.
For a period of time afterward, he returned to being a bachelor.
... ...
Zhong Tingyue walked back to the Tanhua residential area.
As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by four pairs of eyes: He Yi, Yang Meina, Wu Di, and Lily the tabby cat staring straight at her.
Meow~~~
Lily the tabby cat reacted the fastest, running to her feet, pawing at her shoes, and looking up at her at almost a 90-degree angle, her voice gentle and melodious, like a child waiting for its mother to come home.
Zhong Tingyue bent down, picked up her 'good son', and stroked his head. The latter rested his head on her chest, his eyes narrowed, clearly enjoying it.
She comforted the pet as she walked into the room, ignoring the strange looks from the three people.
Yang Meina couldn't help but ask, "What happened between you and Chu Fang?"
Zhong Tingyue responded casually: "We broke up."
"Huh?!" A crisp voice rang out in the room.
She rolled her eyes at this, refusing to satisfy her childhood friend's curiosity, and went straight to her bedroom, closing the door tightly.
The three people left in the living room stared at each other.
Wu Di asked, "Did they really break up?"
He Yi replied, "You believe what she says?"
Yang Meina: "Of course not, but her relationship with Chu Fang will probably be paused for a while."
Based on Yang Meina's understanding of Zhong Tingyue, she certainly wouldn't let go of the hard-won relationship, but suddenly faced with a deluge of news, she would need time to process it.
"Oh dear." Wu Di slapped his forehead, full of regret: "I should have kept quiet."
He Yi called him over tonight to watch the commotion and told him the whole truth, only then did he realize that he had actually caused a huge disaster.
Yang Meina waved her hand: "That kid Chu Fang is a daredevil. He'll get his comeuppance sooner or later. It has nothing to do with you."
He Yi nodded.
"The main thing is that I want to meet him," Wu Di said. "I'm very curious about what kind of extraordinary man could attract Sister Zhong."
Yang Meina said, "Last time I compared you with Chu Fang. You're taller, more handsome, and have a better figure than you. Today I'll add another one: you're richer than you."
Wu Di: "... ..."
Wu Di became even more curious after seeing how Chu Fang's image was sketched out in just a few words.
... ...
Late at night, just as Chu Fang had said, a strong wind did indeed blow outside. Zhong Tingyue did not close the window, letting the wind blow in.
Zhong Tingyue gazed at the night sky, seemingly contemplating important matters of life. She wore a light nightgown, as if woven from clouds, which swayed in the wind. Her hair flowed in the breeze, complementing the nightgown. At that moment, she seemed like an angel descended to earth.
Meow~~~
A soft meow interrupted her thoughts. She picked up her pet and said, "Lily, Mommy is very troubled."
The room was quiet, and Zhong Tingyue naturally didn't expect a response from the cat. She picked up her phone from the table and scrolled through WeChat. Her Moments were filled with messages from her boyfriend.
Chu Fang's WeChat Moments posts over a year are less than a day's worth.
The messages were mostly nonsensical and absurd, and the comments below made it quite amusing.
Two adorable dimples appeared on Zhong Tingyue's delicate face.
... ...
I played games until the early hours of the morning last night, but I woke up early this morning and couldn't fall back asleep, so I went for a run.
Last night, strong winds and torrential rain washed away the dust from Shanghai, and today the sky looks clear and blue, with water and sky blending into one.
It's a nice day.
Chu Fang ran around the neighborhood a few times, noticing the strange looks he was getting from all around him. He felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and confusion.
Envy and jealousy came from office workers and tourists on the street. Anyone who could run so freely and comfortably must own a house nearby. They wondered why this wealthy person got up so early and was running.
Is something bothering you?
He ran a few laps and then returned to the residential area. When he arrived at the gate, he saw several security guards, including Brother Liu, arguing with several strange men and women.
“Taking photos is my freedom, why are you stopping me?” a stylishly dressed stranger said.
Brother Liu blocked the camera and said politely, "Sorry, filming is not allowed around our community."
Wealthy people are very concerned about their privacy and do not want to be exposed to the public eye. Therefore, Zhonghai Mingyuan has strict regulations on community cameras, and strangers are not allowed to take photos or put homeowner information online.
The two sides started arguing.
"As long as it doesn't involve the homeowners' privacy, let them take pictures," Chu Fang said as he walked over.
Upon seeing Chu Fang, the security guards greeted him in unison, "Mr. Chu."
The group of strangers looked at Chu Fang with suspicion. He approached them and smiled, saying, "Taking landscape photos is fine, but don't include other people in your pictures. Be careful, or they might sue you for violating their portrait rights. The people here are petty; once they catch you doing something wrong, they can sue you until you're bankrupt."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked directly into the residential area.
The security guards exchanged glances, and Brother Liu said, "Since Mr. Chu said you are allowed to take landscape photos, but absolutely not to take photos of the homeowners."
"Thank you," the stylishly dressed woman said.
"No need to thank me, thank you Mr. Xie Chu."
Several strangers looked at Chu Fang, his extremely dashing figure, their eyes filled with envy.
To be so young and already own a mansion—this moment truly embodies the power dynamics between people.
Chu Fang returned home, quickly washed up, and then made breakfast. As usual, he cooked a thick white porridge, served a small dish of pickled vegetables, and reheated the stir-fried vegetables from last night. It was a decent breakfast, albeit a simple one.
