Chapter 85 Proportion and Boundaries
Seeing his brother and grandfather's expressions, Wen Yuxing realized that his words had caused a misunderstanding.
Wenhe is also his brother.
The way he called her "sister-in-law" was ambiguous.
He quickly clarified, "This is my brother Zhou's girlfriend, it's not wrong for me to call her sister-in-law."
Grandpa Wen was stunned for a moment.
Following Wen Yuxing's lead, Zhu Fan explained to Grandpa Wen that she had a boyfriend because her boyfriend and Wen Yuxing had become acquainted.
Grandpa Wen sighed inwardly. His son, He, didn't have that kind of luck.
Wen Yuxing thought of the message he had sent to Brother Zhou.
The news of his complaint cannot be withdrawn.
Zhu Fan's sense of propriety and boundaries made him want to slap himself twice.
He's being petty and narrow-minded!
The way Grandpa Wen and his brother treated Zhu Fan made him realize something.
Grandpa and his brother were trying to steal his brother's girlfriend.
On one side are family, on the other are brothers.
Wen Yuxing decisively stood on the side of morality.
When Mr. Wen met his grandson's wary gaze, he pushed away the face that was pressed against his face.
The children are still so young; as long as they haven't gotten married, there's still a chance.
How could Wenhe not guess what his grandfather was thinking?
He coughed lightly, his lips pressed together. "It's getting late."
When Wen Yuxing heard that his brother and grandfather were going to visit Peking University, he was indignant. "I study at Xida University, why would I go to Peking University?"
Grandpa Wen patted his grandson's head, trying to smooth down the few stray hairs sticking up. "After visiting Peking University, Grandpa will go visit Xida University, where you study."
Wen Yuxing: "Why can't we visit Xida University first and then Peking University?"
Grandpa Wen couldn't suppress the tuft of hair, so he used more force and almost pinned his grandson to the ground.
"Why are you asking so many questions? If you don't want to shop, then get lost."
Wen Yuxing, with her messy hair, grabbed Wen He.
He wanted to help his brother Zhou protect himself from his brother.
When it comes to feelings, the order in which they come is very important.
Wenhe received the condemnation and disapproval in his younger brother's eyes, and slapped his hand away, saying, "I know what I'm doing."
He looked at the backs of his grandfather and the little girl.
He would wish her happiness if she were happy.
Wen Yuxing stroked his chin, feeling he should trust his brother. He took a step forward, but was politely stopped by a waiter.
Upon seeing the hibiscus potted plant brought over by the waiter, Wen Yuxing guiltily touched his nose.
Wenhe was stopped by his younger brother and had no choice but to go back to the restaurant to pay for his brother's expenses, as was his usual practice.
Grandpa Wen immediately took off his shoes, ready to beat his grandson who always caused trouble wherever he went, saying, "The flowers were neatly arranged there, why did you have to break them?"
Zhu Fan stood quietly to the side, watching Grandpa Wen take off his shoes. She was both worried that Grandpa Wen would fall and amazed by his agility.
They chased and beat Wen Yuxing until he was forced to flee in all directions.
This scene of "filial piety and love among children and grandchildren" only stopped when Wenhe came out.
Zhu Fan smiled and sent a message to Yi Jia, asking if she had time to come and see her.
Yi Jia didn't even ask why, and immediately replied that he had time.
Zhu Fan must cover up the lie he just told.
-
Upon arriving at Peking University, Wen Yuxing was very familiar with the place.
He kept talking nonstop, completely unaware that his grandfather had already frowned from his noise.
Wenhe lagged a few steps behind and took a few photos of his grandfather with his camera.
The camera inadvertently captured the image of Zhu Fan under the light and shadow.
Wen Yuxing shoved Wen He in front of the camera.
He saw his brother secretly taking pictures of Zhu Fan.
"Brother, take a few more pictures of me."
Wenhe hung the camera around Wenyuxing's neck, saying, "You're not photogenic, you can't take good pictures."
Wen Yuxing: ...
Yi Jia overheard their conversation and suppressed a laugh.
She had already learned the whole story when she arrived.
She linked arms with Zhu Fan, dutifully playing the role of a mere tool.
The tranquility of this corner was shattered by the sudden influx of people.
"It's Wenhe! It really is Wenhe!"
A frenzied crowd surged forward, and someone accidentally bumped into Zhu Fan and Yi Jia.
Wenhe reacted quickly, supporting Zhu Fan's arm through his sleeve.
Almost simultaneously, he was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd. Fearing that he might accidentally hurt Zhu Fan, he immediately let go of her hand.
Zhu Fan helped Yi Jia, who had been knocked to the ground, to her feet.
Yi Jia patted the dust off his pants, barely managing to hold back from swearing.
"What's wrong with these people? They're all rushing in like they've lost their minds."
"Wenhe, is this the Wenhe I know?"
Zhu Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Grandpa Wen had not been affected.
She pulled Yi Jia back to a safe position.
Yi Jia felt a pang of regret. "If I had known it was Wen He, I should have taken a picture with him."
Wen Yuxing had already protected her grandfather when the crowd surged forward.
That's how it is for public figures; they can be recognized, followed, and surrounded at any time, and their private lives have nowhere to hide.
Sure enough, Wen He's appearance at Peking University made it to the top of Weibo's trending topics within an hour.
#Wenhe's relationship exposed, suspected of introducing girlfriend to parents#
#Wenhe appears at Peking University#
The trending topic was removed three hours later.
Wenhe's clarification post on Weibo topped the Weibo trending list.
...
Zhu Fan's afternoon classes were anything but peaceful.
People, whether they knew her or not, all came to inquire about her relationship with Wenhe. Some even went so far as to ask for Wenhe's contact information indirectly, or to ask her for autographed photos.
Her social media accounts were flooded with friend requests, so she had to disable the ability to add friends.
Now, rumors are circulating at Kyoto University that she's two-timing.
Fang Qizhou's appearance finally silenced the waves of people who had been coming to find Zhu Fan in the classroom.
Zhu Fan's gloomy mood, which had lasted all afternoon, vanished the moment she saw him.
The man was tall and slender, walking against the light and shadow. The thin sunlight fell on his eyebrows and eyes, making his expression appear even more languid and aloof.
He walked slowly toward Zhu Fan.
The coldness in Zhu Fan's eyes melted away quietly, and she silently moved one seat inside.
Fang Qizhou opened the coffee he had brought and placed it next to her, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What's with that expression? Don't you want to see me?"
Zhu Fan looked up into his eyes, her tone exceptionally earnest: "No, I'm very happy to see you. Fang Qizhou, I haven't done anything to betray you, not now, and not in the future."
Fang Qizhou hooked her fingers around his and gently squeezed her knuckles, his deep black eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.
All the frustration I had accumulated that afternoon dissipated in her gentle words and earnest gaze.
Zhu Fan caught a faint scent of roses on Fang Qizhou.
She moved closer to his clothes and sniffed: "Fang Qizhou, why do you smell like a girl?"
The girl's voice was tinged with possessiveness and displeasure that she herself was unaware of.
Fang Qizhou's Adam's apple bobbed as it landed on her slightly parted, soft lips.
If they weren't in the classroom, he would pull her into his arms and fiercely kiss her lips.
How could he possibly smell like any other girl besides her?
