After seeing Zhong Tingyue off, Chu Fang drove home. When he got home, he felt that the empty room was lacking in life. He tidied up the room briefly, loaded the necessary household items into the car, closed the door, and headed to Zhonghai Mingyuan.
Zhong Tingyue is gone, and he doesn't want to stay here anymore, to avoid adding to his troubles.
His two younger sisters still have a few days before their holiday starts, so he wants to stay in Shanghai a few more days before they go home together.
Returning to the long-lost Zhonghai Mingyuan, it remains exactly the same.
He hadn't been back to his apartment complex in a long time, and the security guard seemed not to recognize his car, stopping him at the gate: "Sir, I'm sorry, this is a private residence..."
Just then, security guard Brother Liu hurriedly came over, stopped the other security guard, and bowed to Chu Fang: "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, he's new here and doesn't recognize your car."
Upon hearing this, the new security guard's expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed, his back almost bent at a ninety-degree angle, trembling with fear: "Mr. Chu, I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
"It's nothing." Chu Fang waved his hand dismissively, and smiled as he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Brother Liu, saying, "Happy New Year, Brother Liu."
Happy New Year to you too.
"Did you get a red envelope?"
"Yes." Brother Liu went to the security room, then took out a red envelope and handed it to Chu Fang.
"That's very thoughtful!" Chu Fang was overjoyed to receive the red envelope and took out two red envelopes as well, handing them to Brother Liu. "It's only polite to reciprocate."
Thank you.
He drove into the residential area, and Brother Liu, holding the red envelope, handed another red envelope to the new security guard.
The new security guard was stunned: "Brother Liu, me?"
"Well, Mr. Chu gave two red envelopes, which means one of them is for you."
"But I just angered Mr. Chu."
"Hehe..." Brother Liu chuckled. "Mr. Chu is a very approachable resident. He won't get angry over such trivial matters. Don't overthink it. Mr. Chu is different from most residents in the community. He's not bossy or aloof. He used to live in the community often, but he moved away a few months ago after starting a relationship. It's normal that you don't know him."
"Oh." The new security guard accepted the red envelope, opened it, and saw that it was full of red banknotes. He immediately took a deep breath. "Brother Liu, there's at least a thousand yuan."
"Hey, that's normal." Brother Liu waved his hand. "Mr. Chu's wealth is among the top in the entire community, and he's very generous."
He paused for a moment, then instructed the new security guard: "But you need to be more careful in the future. Remember the faces of the residents in the community. Today, Mr. Chu was magnanimous and didn't hold it against you, but if you encounter a resident who takes things seriously, you will inevitably be punished. Be more careful in the future."
After working as a security guard in this community for a long time, Brother Liu realized that wealthy people are not as refined as they appear on screen; on the contrary, they speak with a very high level of slang and slang.
... ...
Returning to the house I hadn't seen in so long, I looked around. There was everything, yet it seemed like there was nothing at all.
This apartment is for my two younger sisters to use during their holidays. Because we have a housekeeper who cleans it regularly, the rooms are not dirty or messy.
When he got home, he threw himself onto the sofa and fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up, the sun was already setting, and the red glow of the sunset streamed in through the French windows, adorning the entire room.
In an instant, Chu Fang felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness, an indescribable loneliness.
He rubbed his temples to clear his head, then got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
Eating alone is simple. He made noodles and paired them with pea shoots, a great side dish with distinctive Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing characteristics!
It might also be called 'pea tip', but he's always called pea shoot since he was little.
The name doesn't matter; what matters is that noodles and pea shoots are a match made in heaven.
Light, refreshing, and slightly sweet, like first love; once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it.
While eating the noodles, he sent a photo of them to Zhong Tingyue.
It's been so long, why hasn't that woman reported back that she arrived safely?
It seemed that Zhong Tingyue, who was thousands of miles away, sensed Chu Fang's thoughts and replied to the message.
[Wang Shu: Oh, you're eating well!]
[Solo player specializing in dating: Average, but the best in the world.]
[Wang Shu: ... ..., it doesn't rhyme!]
[Solo Queue Player in Love: Cao Dahua: Are you teaching me how to do things? .JpG]
[Wang Shu: You're so fierce.JpG]
[Solo Queue Player (Dating): Have you arrived yet?]
[Wang Shu: I'm almost home. I was just about to let you know I arrived safely.]
[Solo player in a dating game: Okay, let's not chat anymore. You should get some rest.]
[Wang Shu: You too.]
... ...
Thousands of miles away, in an ordinary village in the Central Plains, a loud and extremely lethal sound echoed through the night sky, spreading outwards:
"Sister~~~~~~~"
Zhong Tingyue put away her phone and then heard that familiar voice. Her younger sister, Zhong Rou, came running over at lightning speed, her hair flowing, looking like a female knight-errant.
A moment later, Zhong Rou ran up to Zhong Tingyue, hugged her arm, and said with extreme grievance, "Sister, brother-in-law bullied me!"
“Oh,” Zhong Tingyue replied indifferently.
"oh?!"
"oh."
"Brother-in-law, you're bullying me."
“I know.” Zhong Tingyue glanced at her younger sister. “You’re no better.”
To be precise, neither Chu Fang nor Zhong Rou are good people.
After they got in touch, they often tried to prank each other. Zhong Rou tried to manipulate Chu Fang by buying her all sorts of things, such as toys, game consoles, and everything else she wanted. Chu Fang, on the other hand, wanted to get information from Zhong Rou about Zhong Tingyue's childhood so that he could use coercion and enticement to achieve his ulterior motives.
They both had their own agendas; they were both cunning people.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Rou pouted, looking sullen, while Zhong Tingyue ignored her younger sister, saying she would be fine in a little while.
He then said to his parents in front of him, "Mom and Dad, I'm home."
"Okay." Zhong Ping nodded.
Gao Ruoyun smiled broadly: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The three then escorted Zhong Tingyue home.
The Zhong family was an ordinary family in the Central Plains. There was a small courtyard in front with fruit trees planted in it, and the house was in the back. It was simple but cozy.
