Fang Yan had just caught a cold some time ago. This minor illness, which would heal quickly in an ordinary person, tortured him for half a month.
Mr. Fang's eyes fell on Fang Yan, and he looked him up and down carefully, then he said with red eyes: "You've lost weight, and lost weight again!"
The flesh that Fang Yan had grown with great difficulty had become as thin as before after this illness.
Fang Yan smiled, his face still pale. He stood up from his seat and came over to support Grandpa Fang. "My problem is old, not a serious one. But what happened to you and grandma recently? I was lying in bed in a daze and heard that you two were sick?"
After returning empty-handed from South City and having suffered such a great deal of humiliation, Old Lady Fang did feel a little unwell, but it only lasted for two days. After knowing that Ye Pei's company would soon go bankrupt, her illness was cured without treatment.
There was nothing wrong with Mr. Fang, but he was indeed worried too much these days and looked a little haggard.
There was nothing wrong with the health of both of them, but they couldn't help but be moved when they heard Fang Yan's caring words.
"You are still a little patient yourself!" Old Mrs. Fang pretended to be angry, "Why don't you take care of yourself and learn to take care of us?"
"Yes, Yanyan, just take care of yourself." Old Master Fang held Fang Yan's hand and patted it. It turned out that Fang Yan, a young man, had hands that were not even as warm as those of an old man like him.
Old Master Fang felt sad again and felt sorry for his grandson.
Fang Yan laughed when he heard this: "I've recovered, so grandpa and grandma, you should take care of yourselves too!"
"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Fang smiled and stood up to pull out a chair for Fang Yan. "Come and sit down. It's time to eat."
The family is having a great time.
At the end of the meal, Fang Yan waited for a long time, but no one at the table mentioned Ye Chaoran. He lowered his eyes slightly, and finally couldn't help asking: "By the way, didn't mom and dad say that they went to pick up my brother some time ago? Where is my second brother?"
He knew that Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang had also gone to South City, but judging from the current results, it was obvious that they had returned empty-handed. So Fang Yan deliberately did not ask the two old men, but asked Fang Qishan and Cai Lianhua instead.
After these words were spoken, everyone present was silent for a moment.
Fang Sheng was the first to break the silence: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Fang Yan smiled sheepishly: "Nothing, it's just that when I thought about the fact that there is a brother in this world who looks exactly like me, I was looking forward to meeting him. But after I got better, I didn't see him at home, so I wondered if it was my second brother..."
"He is not willing to come back with us yet," Fang Qishan said in front of his beloved youngest son, unable to bear the heart to say anything too harsh, "We need to give him some time to adapt."
Fang Yan asked: "When can the second brother come back?"
Fang Qishan looked embarrassed and he looked at Old Man Fang.
At first, Mr. Fang really wanted to let the two children get in touch with each other first, but after he met Ye Chao, he changed his mind.
Ye Chaoran is unruly and has no manners or manners at all. What if he were to meet Yanyan again and she gets so angry that she falls ill?
As long as Ye Chaoran returns to City A, he will have plenty of ways to get him to donate his heart.
Therefore, the meeting between Ye Chaoran and Fang Yan seemed dispensable.
"He may not come back." Facing Fang Yan's expectant gaze, Mr. Fang said cruelly, "Yanyan, you don't have to call him second brother. He doesn't even consider us as his own family."
Fang Yan was very shocked. His eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long while, he asked, "Why? Why doesn't Second Brother want to come back? Is there any misunderstanding? How about I go and persuade Second Brother?"
"Why are you going?" Cai Lianhua finally couldn't help it, "You are not in good health, why are you going there to get angry?"
She said the wrong thing because she was in a hurry.
"Being bullied?" Fang Yan glanced at her sideways, "Why are you being bullied?"
Old Master Fang secretly thought, "Oh no! Yanyan from our family is so smart..."
He glared at Cai Lianhua fiercely.
Cai Lianhua also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly shut her mouth. No matter how Fang Yan asked her questions, she would not speak again.
"Yanyan," Fang Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled his brother into his arms, "Calm down."
Fang Yan's chest rose and fell a little. He bit his lip, his eyes full of sadness. "There must be some misunderstanding here. Grandpa, can you let me go see my second brother? I'll talk to him nicely, and he will definitely be willing to come back with me."
Mr. Fang didn't say anything, and everyone else was silent too.
Fang Yan continued to say, "If it doesn't work out, I will transfer to my second brother's school. I believe that as long as I spend more time with him, he will definitely..."
Seeing Fang Yan's words getting more and more outrageous, Mr. Fang finally couldn't help it: "Yanyan! Why did you transfer to another school? Your health is so poor, can we trust you to go out?"
Cai Lianhua also spoke up: "Yes, Yanyan, Nanshi is not a good place. The climate is humid and the weather is hot and cold. What if you get sick again when you go there?"
"Alright," said Mr. Fang, "We'll talk about this later. Shengsheng, go to the banquet room and rest."
Fang Sheng lowered his eyes and pulled Fang Yan up.
Fang Yan frowned and pouted, her unhappiness written all over her face.
Arriving at Fang Yan's room, Fang Sheng sighed softly and patted Fang Yan on the shoulder: "Yan Yan, don't be willful."
Fang Yan's eyes were filled with tears when he heard this: "Brother, do you also think I'm being willful?"
Fang Sheng couldn't bear to see Fang Yan cry, so he turned his head away.
"I just hope that our family can be reunited soon..." Fang Yan's voice sounded aggrieved.
Fang Sheng wiped away Fang Yan's tears, and changed the subject after Fang Yan's emotions had stabilized a little: "Okay, let's not think about this anymore. Your birthday is coming soon. Have you decided what birthday gift you want?"
…
"Gift?" Ye Chaoran thought about it carefully for a long time before shaking his head and saying to Song Ya and Ye Pei with a smile, "I don't lack anything. When the time comes, just celebrate my birthday with me, mom and dad!"
Song Ya and Ye Pei both laughed when they heard this.
"How can you celebrate your birthday without a gift?" Song Ya said, "I knew I wouldn't get anything out of you."
Ye Pei nodded in agreement: "The answers are pretty much the same every year. I wouldn't have asked if I had known."
Ye Chaoran blinked: "It's all your fault. You've been so good to me that I have everything I need!"
Ye Pei and Song Ya laughed immediately.
"If we don't treat you well, who else can we treat well?" Song Ya said unhappily.
Ye Pei also said: "You are getting more and more outrageous!"
Ye Chaoran felt that if he had a tail, it would have been raised to the sky by now.
Song Ya asked again: "Have you thought about how to celebrate your birthday? Invite your classmates to eat out or invite them to your home?"
This time Ye Chaoran did not hesitate: "Come home!"
Song Ya smiled: "Okay, then remember to tell your classmates in advance, it doesn't matter if you invite more people."
Ye Chaoran said: "Okay!"
Although Ye Chaoran had a good relationship with most of his classmates, the only one he could really confide in was Zhang Qi.
But after all, it was a birthday party, and he couldn't just invite one friend. Ye Chaoran recalled and invited a few classmates who had invited him in his previous life. Finally, he thought of Jiang Xunmo.
Rumors spread quickly in school, even Teacher Wang heard about it and called Ye Chaoran to his office to express his concern.
Ye Chaoran cried out in pain and protested his injustice.
It is true that he no longer pursues Gu Yao, but that doesn’t mean he likes Jiang Xunmo!
Teacher Wang knew Ye Chaoran well enough and knew that this matter was 90% false, so he let Ye Chaoran go.
However, she reminded Ye Chaoran implicitly that this is the most important stage of learning. Although Ye Chaoran has good grades, he still has to focus on studying.
Ye Chaoran didn't dare to say no and nodded repeatedly.
That's why, although he still went to Jiang Xunmo's house every morning to learn Taekwondo these days, he went to school separately from Jiang Xunmo every morning, and even in the classroom, the two rarely chatted.
The few times they chatted, Ye Chaoran wrote little notes to Jiang Xunmo.
Fortunately, Jiang Xunmo was a cold person to begin with, and he didn't seem to notice Ye Chaoran's deliberate distance.
Thinking of this, Ye Chaoran couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Jiang Xunmo was so sincere and frank with me, but I distanced myself from him because of the rumors and what Teacher Wang said!
I really went too far!
Out of guilt, Ye Chaoran handed Jiang Xunmo another note on Friday afternoon.
It says: It’s my birthday on Saturday, do you have time (crossed out), do you want to come to my house for dinner?
Jiang Xunmo held the note in his hand, a barely perceptible smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
As expected, Ye Chaoran still couldn't let himself go.
The author has something to say:
I can't wait to see Jiang Xunmo's expression when he finds out Ye Chaoran doesn't like him. Hehe
I'm late, sorry!
