Chapter 117 Moving Out of the Fang Family Home
On Friday afternoon, as soon as Zhu Fan left the classroom, Yi Jia dragged her to the supermarket to buy ingredients for hot pot that evening.
Seeing Zhu Fan frequently replying to messages on her phone, Yi Jia hugged Zhu Fan's arm and said, "Fanfan, I promise I'll return you to your boyfriend before 6:30 PM. Your boyfriend is important, but your sister is just as important!"
"I don't care, you have to come to the supermarket with me."
Zhu Fan gave her an OK sign and said with a smile, "I was just thinking of going to the supermarket too."
The refrigerator in Fang Qizhou's apartment needs to be restocked.
Previously, to save time, I always placed orders on my phone.
Now I have time and company.
Zhu Fan replied to Fang Qizhou, saying that she and Yi Jia went to the supermarket and would meet him at the restaurant that evening.
Yi Jia, seemingly boneless, clung to her arm. "Going to report your whereabouts to your boyfriend?"
Zhu Fan smiled and nodded.
She put her phone back in her pocket and chatted with Yi Jia.
When the topic of love came up, Yi Jia sighed, "Love is only interesting when you watch others do it. It's just the same old thing when you do it yourself."
Zhu Fan raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Any progress?"
Yi Jia's family introduced her to a boy. After their first meeting, they felt they could continue to get to know each other.
Yi Jia buttoned up his coat, cleared his throat, and gave a summary report: "This week, we met three times. We had three meals, watched two movies, and one stand-up comedy show."
Zhu Fan: "Let me summarize my feelings."
Yi Jia had shown her the boy's photo, and it perfectly matched Yi Jia's aesthetic preferences.
He is a graduate student at Xida University and also a student of Uncle Yijia.
Yi Jia exhaled white mist, "The process of getting along with him was actually quite comfortable. He is mature, steady, polite, gentlemanly, and respectful."
Zhu Fan nodded, "The evaluations are all very positive."
Yi Jia sighed, "He's a good person, but he's too upright and too proper. I only found out yesterday that he's never been in a relationship. I've decided not to tease him or waste his time."
Yi Jia enjoys having fun and has had a few relationships, but none of them lasted long.
Seeing that Yi Jia had already taken out his phone to send a message, Zhu Fan tucked his chin into his scarf and said, "Just because someone's serious, you're scared?"
Yi Jia, the little chick pecking at rice, nodded. "One of my principles is not to play with people's feelings."
"Drive my car to the supermarket in a bit, and after you're done shopping, I'll take you back to school."
Zhu Fan said, "Practice what you preach."
Yi Jia sighed, "Before the start of this semester, I would never have imagined that you would be dating Fang Qizhou."
Hearing Zhu Fan say that they would continue talking, Aunt Yi Jia smiled and said, "You like it that much?"
Zhu Fan nodded, "I love it to death."
Yi Jia chuckled sweetly, "If only relationships could be like yours,"
Zhu Fan looked at her.
Yi Jia finished speaking, "That's really nice."
A happy smile graced Zhu Fan's lips.
Yi Jia was touched. "Fanfan, I find it especially easy to feel happy when I'm with you."
Zhu Fan possesses a strange power that brings peace and gentleness to people.
Zhu Fan's nose was running from the cold wind. "My happiness right now is to get to the car quickly. This nasty wind is making my face hurt."
Yi Jia was about to look straight ahead when she passed Zhong Fei's milk tea shop, but when she saw the construction work outside the shop and the sign being taken down, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The milk tea shop reopened this week after undergoing renovations.
Online criticism and the milk tea shop's exploitation of food safety loopholes have led to a situation where, even after reopening, no students are willing to patronize Zhong Fei's milk tea shop.
Two weeks ago, the milk tea shop was bustling with activity, but now it's deserted.
Wang Aohan saw Yi Jia and Zhu Fan passing by outside the store and went inside without expression.
She took over the milk tea shop yesterday.
Wang Aohan plans to open a flower studio at the school.
Now, Zhong Fei has to cover herself up completely every time she goes out, for fear of being recognized.
Even so, she remained strong.
Wang Aohan was no longer as worried as she had been the previous week.
On the internet, new trending topics emerge every day. Whether it's a person, event, or thing, a decline in popularity is a common phenomenon.
After a while, no one will remember these things anymore.
Yi Jia surprisingly didn't roll his eyes at Wang Aohan.
In the past two weeks, Zhou Song apologized for protecting Zhong Fei, misunderstanding her, and not speaking up for her.
He Qianya also publicly apologized to her on the confession wall.
Her life returned to normal.
She wasn't just talking about quitting the internet; she deleted all social media accounts that her fans could find.

Inside the supermarket, Yi Jia's shopping cart was already completely full.
"That bastard Qiu Chen, he organized this hot pot party, but he dumped all the food procurement on me."
Zhu Fan's shopping cart was also piled high.
She put the wine that Yi Jia had chosen into her shopping cart.
"If you're going to drink tonight, don't bring A-Yuan. A-Yuan can't hold her liquor."
Yi Jia took a whole carton of cigarettes that Qiu Chen had asked for and assured Zhu Fan that he would definitely take good care of A Yuan, saying, "It would be great if you were here too."
Zhu Fan said next time.
It was getting late, so the two quickly paid the bill.
Zhu Fan put all the groceries into the trunk of the car using a supermarket shopping cart, and then left the cart at the return point.
After all that, she broke out in a sweat.
Yi Jia rolled up his sleeves, gripped the steering wheel, saw Zhu Fan's message, and sped back to school.

Fang Qibai moved out of the Fang family home and rented an apartment near Peking University.
Tonight's hot pot dinner was arranged by Qiu Chen, who said he wanted to help Fang Qibai with his housewarming party.
Yi Jiabi arrived at Fang Qibai's rented apartment before Qiu Chen.
Fang Qibai ran into Yi Jia as he got out of the taxi.
He took the two large shopping bags from Yi Jia's hands.
Yi Jia instantly relaxed. He stared at Fang Qibai for a while, "Just got back?"
Fang Qibai hummed in agreement and pressed the elevator button.
Yi Jia's lips moved slightly.
Fang Qibai glanced at her and said, "Speak your mind."
Seeing that he seemed to be in good spirits and nothing was wrong, Yi Jia suppressed the concern that was about to come out.
"It's nothing, Qiu Chen and A Yuan will probably arrive in about half an hour."
The elevator doors opened, and Fang Qibai led Yi Jia into the house.
As Yi Jia put on shoe covers, he looked around the interior of the house.
The apartment is a nicely furnished one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom unit. The space is small, but clean and tidy.
She asked Fang Qibai, "When was this house rented?"
Fang Qibai handed her a bottle of mineral water, then went to the balcony to open the window and smoke: "A week ago."
Seeing that he seemed quite tired, Yi Jia took the initiative to take over the task of preparing the ingredients.

Qiu Chen led Zhu Wan around as if she were at home.
The door was open.
Zhu Wan, carrying a potted money tree she bought from a flower shop, followed Chen Ge into the house.
The aroma of food was already wafting from inside the house.
Yi Jia, holding a knife, came out of the kitchen and hugged A Yuan, who was changing her shoe covers. "A Yuan, you're finally here! What would you like to drink? Let me get it for you."
Zhu Wan smiled and shook her head. "I'm not thirsty, Sister Jia. Brother Chen bought me milk tea on the way. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Qiu Chen bent down to change his shoe covers behind Zhu Wan. When he looked up, he saw the knife that Yi Jia was holding up in front of him. He took a big step back. "Yi Jia, the knife in your hand almost hit my head."
Yi Jia, holding the knife, released Zhu Wan and looked at Qiu Chen: "What are your eyes for? Don't you know how to avoid it?"
Zhu Wan looked toward the bathroom where the sound of running water could be heard.
