The next day, the first rays of dawn gently parted the mist over the city.
"Sigh!" Chu Fang sighed.
Zhong Tingyue is going home today, and he is really reluctant to let her go.
I didn't feel anything usually, but when it came time to separate, I felt a deep emptiness.
Chu Fang turned to look at Ms. Zhong. The thin blanket was draped around her waist, but a corner of it slipped down, revealing her lotus-colored nightgown. The dress was embroidered with delicate patterns, which were faintly visible in the dim light.
He just watched quietly for a minute, then forced himself to change his perspective and got up.
As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw my sister-in-law exercising.
"Didn't you have a day off today? Why are you up so early?" Chu Fang asked.
When Zhong Tingyue went home, Zhong Rou wanted to go with her, so she took ten days off. In addition, with the nine-day holiday due to the National Day holiday adjustment, Zhong Rou would have a full two weeks off.
On one hand, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue both need to go home, and there's no one in Shanghai to take care of her; on the other hand, her sister-in-law has a high aptitude for learning, and even with such a long holiday, she still achieves excellent grades and outshines everyone else.
There's no way around it; the differences between people are just that great.
Moreover, even at school, Zhong Rou didn't study most of the time; she was either distracted or thinking about how to build her business empire.
She can only be motivated to learn if someone surpasses her academically. Otherwise, she won't learn anything.
Therefore, the teacher approved her leave request.
"Brother-in-law," the sister-in-law stopped exercising and asked, "I have a question."
"you say."
Why is it that I always have trouble getting up during the school term, but I can get up very early during holidays?
Chu Fang replied indifferently, "You're sick."
He didn't know either, and could only attribute it to illness.
Of course, Chu Fang was the same; he was also ill.
He then went into the kitchen and began making breakfast.
Today's breakfast is glutinous rice balls.
He first poured glutinous rice flour into a large bowl, then slowly added warm water while constantly stirring with chopsticks until the flour became flocculent, and then began kneading the dough.
In no time, the dough became soft and elastic, as if it were full of new life.
Then pinch off a small piece of dough, roll it into a ball, flatten it, put in the filling (black sesame filling), and slowly seal it. The glutinous rice ball begins to take shape.
Looking at the round and plump glutinous rice balls, Chu Fang's face showed a puzzled expression: "What exactly are Yuanxiao? How are they different from glutinous rice balls?"
He could never figure out the difference between tangyuan and yuanxiao, and before short videos appeared, the term 'yuanxiao' didn't even exist in his mind.
But looking around, the Lantern Festival seems to be quite famous.
At the time, he felt like he was isolated from the world...
The glutinous rice balls were dropped into the pot and cooked in no time. The round, plump balls tumbled in the pot, looking like works of art.
Chu Fang scooped up some glutinous rice balls, placed them on the table, and said, "Ms. Zhong, please try the glutinous rice balls I made."
Zhong Tingyue placed the glutinous rice ball to her lips. The moment her teeth touched it, the soft and glutinous outer skin spread out like a cloud, delicate and smooth. Then, the rich and thick black sesame filling bloomed on her taste buds.
Even after swallowing, the aftertaste lingers in the mouth.
She gave a thumbs up: "Delicious! Mr. Chu is amazing!"
"That's right!" Chu Fang said proudly. "I'm a professional."
The three then began to enjoy the glutinous rice balls. After finishing, Zhong Tingyue and Zhong Rou continued to pack their personal belongings, as their flight was scheduled for noon that day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chu Fang drove the two sisters to the airport.
Upon arriving at the airport, Yang Meina and He Yi were already there; the two sisters were going to return to the Central Plains with Zhong Tingyue.
Upon seeing them, Yang Meina was still complaining, "Chu Fang, how do you drive? Why didn't you wait for the plane to take off before coming?"
"What's it to you?" Chu Fang rolled his eyes.
"I don't care about you, how could you grow this big?" Yang Meina retorted, not backing down.
"I'm hungry."
Yang Meina straightened her chest instantly and stood up, leaning back: "Come on!"
Chu Fang: "..."
He Yi: "... ..."
Zhong Tingyue: "... ..."
Zhong Rou said softly, "There are children here, can you please be mindful of the situation?"
As the plane approached security, Chu Fang felt a deep sense of reluctance to leave.
He had grown accustomed to having Zhong Tingyue by his side—eating, sleeping, taking walks, strolling along the street...
This seemingly simple life made him feel incredibly fulfilled.
"Alright, we'll see each other again soon." Zhong Tingyue comforted her husband, her delicate face beaming with a beautiful smile.
Yang Meina complained, "Look at Chu Fang! He doesn't look like a billionaire at all! He's a complete waste!"
Yang Meina couldn't understand it. Her boyfriend was hardworking and diligent, but he was just a programmer at a big company, while Chu Fang was lazy and irresponsible, spending his days slacking off and wasting his life, yet he was so rich.
I'm so angry!
"Holy crap, bro." In the airport, a man patted the arm of the man next to him, "Look at the pretty girl."
"Could you please stop putting 'Holy shit' and 'brother' together?" The man next to him corrected his younger brother while looking over and exclaiming, "Holy shit bro!"
Today, Zhong Tingyue wore a beige long trench coat with the collar slightly open, revealing a smoky gray silk shirt underneath, which shimmered with a delicate sheen. A simple black ribbon was tied at the collar into an elegant bow.
She paired it with dark brown straight-leg suit pants, the clean cut of which perfectly accentuated her long, straight legs.
With her light makeup, delicate eyebrows, and cherry-red lips, she stood out in the airport, attracting the attention of everyone around her.
"What a pity..." a passerby sighed inwardly, "She already has a boyfriend."
Hearing the sounds coming from the airport, Zhong Tingyue smiled brightly and said, "Alright, Mr. Chu, I'm leaving now."
Then she pressed her red lips to Chu Fang's face, and then dragged her suitcase away into the airport.
Goodbye, brother-in-law.
"Chu Fang, I'm going to kidnap Zhong Tingyue. You'll have to pay ten billion to ransom her."
Chu Fang watched the beautiful figure disappear from sight and sighed deeply: "Why is my life so miserable?"
He stood there for a while, then prepared to leave. Just then, two men approached him with expressions of admiration.
"Brother, have a smoke."
Chu Fang waved his hand: "I don't smoke, thank you."
One of the younger men asked, "Brother, how did you manage to win over your girlfriend?"
Chu Fang thought for a moment and replied, "Sincerity, exchanging sincerity for sincerity."
After saying that, he left.
The two brothers were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Brother, is what he said true?" the young man asked.
"It should be." The older man nodded and nudged his younger brother. "Go and try it."
The young man's gaze swept around the room before finally settling on a fashionable woman. He walked over and said, "Hello, miss, I like you."
The fashionable woman glanced at her sideways: "You're crazy."
"Brother~~~" The young man felt wronged.
The older man stroked his chin and said confidently, "Young man, that girl likes you."
"But she said I'm crazy."
"Do you see her calling other people 'crazy'? No! But she only calls you 'crazy,' that's a term of endearment."
... ...
Chu Fang left the airport, still feeling annoyed, and sent a message to Zhong Tingyue.

[Wang Shu: Okay, stop doing that.]
[Solo player in a dating game: I'm not happy.]
[Wang Shu: So what can make you happy?]
[Solo player in a dating game: Posting a cool selfie will be a big help when I need you the most.]
Chu Fang wanted to say a few more words, but Zhong Tingyue deleted the red exclamation mark that he received.
"A heartless and ungrateful woman."
Chu Fang put down his phone and then drove towards the city center.
Although Zhong Tingyue has left, he still has some things to take care of before he can go home.
