After Fang Dian greeted Bai Liu, he looked at Du Sanying who was hiding far behind him, with a curious and enthusiastic smile on his face. He walked over and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Du Sanying: "Hello, are you Bai Liu's friend?"
Afraid that his misfortune would spread to others, Du Sanying stepped back repeatedly. He waved his hands in panic, feeling awkward and restrained, not wanting to be held by Fang Dian, and looked at Bai Liu for help.
But Fang Dian reacted very quickly. She took a big step and held Du Sanying's hand. She shook it vigorously twice in Du Sanying's dull eyes and smiled brightly and generously: "Welcome, welcome!"
After saying that, she waved to Du Sanying and Bai Liu, and was about to go downstairs with the garbage in her hand. However, as soon as she took a step, her shoelaces, which had come undone at some point, caught her and she stumbled, and was about to fall down the stairs!
Du Sanying's pupils shrank: "Ah——!!"
Then, he saw Fang Dian jump up with two big steps with great ease, land steadily across six or seven steps, turn around and make an OK sign to them, with a big smile showing his white teeth: "Safe landing~"
Du Sanying was stunned.
This sister shook his hand and was infected with misfortune, but it was okay...
Fang Dian squatted down to tie his shoelaces, then stood up and waved at them nonchalantly: "You guys go in first, Lao Lu has come back and is cooking in the kitchen, I'm going to take out the trash first."
After Fang Dian left, Bai Liu, who was standing next to the stunned Du Sanying, said calmly: "I will bring you here, so you don't have to be so nervous, nothing will happen."
Du Sanying lowered his head, pinched his fingertips twice, and said softly: "But just now, she almost fell..."
"She won't fall." Bai Liu stared at the corner of the stairs where Fang Dian was leaving. "Fang Dian is a national second-level volleyball athlete. She won two provincial team championships in high school. She can stay steady even if she jumps directly from here to the first floor."
Du Sanying raised his head in astonishment: "Huh?!"
Bai Liu turned his head to look at Du Sanying: "Her physical fitness, coordination ability, and performance are the best I have ever seen."
"Your misfortune may still infect the people around you." Bai Liu's eyes were calm, "but these are all my friends."
"The fact that they can become my friends means that they are able to handle the misfortunes of a person like me whose luck value is zero very well."
Bai Liu looked at Du Sanying and said, "They can handle your misfortune properly."
"Come in and have dinner."
Bai Liu turned around and went in carrying something.
Du Sanying stood quietly at the door for a while, took a deep breath, hummed with a trembling fist, raised his hand to wipe his eyes hard, lowered his head and followed Bai Liu in.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai Liu."
"You're welcome. We each take what we need." Bai Liu said.
Du Sanying carefully sat down on the sofa in the living room, and Bai Liu picked up the things and put them in the kitchen.
The sofa in the living room is made of soft leather. It must have been bought not long ago. The fur on it is shiny. The house looks like it has just been renovated. From the walls to the furniture, everything is shiny and new. Only a few large pieces are still old-fashioned, which is out of place with the old-fashioned atmosphere of the community outside.
The sofa in the living room faces an LCD TV, which is on the animation channel and is playing the theme song of an animation.
"I awaken the sea
Awakening the Mountains
…
Even if there are hundreds of millions of kilometers
One ton of luggage
We don't give up
It takes courage to move forward..."
Under the coffee table was a hand-woven woolen blanket, on which were scattered all over the floor various children's toys and semi-finished handicrafts, a few unfinished puzzles and one or two children's paintings.
Du Sanying picked up the children's painting. On the top was the word "Family Portrait" written crookedly in crayon. This should be the theme required for this painting.
There are a father, a mother and a child in the picture, and there is also a person squatting next to them, who should be a woman.
The child drew the woman with a particularly bright smile, showing her eight big teeth, and wrote "My favorite teacher Fang!" next to it.
Below, Fangdian wrote a comment in red pen: [Well done! I know you like the teacher and want me to join your family, but if I join, it will destroy this family, haha! (smiley face)]
[Can't the teacher join our family? (child's handwriting, a crying face)]
[No, the teacher also has his own home (hand-painted dog head holding a rose.jpg)]
Du Sanying couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and he began to pick up the paintings scattered on the ground one by one.
These drawings were probably rejected and sent back for redrawing, so they were all brought back by Fangdian because most of the children had drawn too many square dots in these drawings of "Family Portraits".
It was really interesting to see Fang Dian interact with these kids.
Du Sanying cursed at his own impolite behavior of casually looking at other people's paintings, but he couldn't help but continue reading.
Maybe it was because the kid had spread the news that Teacher Fang could not just anyone join another family, so everyone racked their brains and let their imagination run wild in order to get Teacher Fang to join their family.
Some children found a new position for Fangdian, and drew him as a dog holding a bone and squatting next to him.
Fangdian Comment: [The teacher still prefers being a human being! jojo! (hand-drawn dog holding a bone wink.jpg)]
Some children directly drew two families and included Fang Dian’s entire family in their own family portrait. However, because the picture was too narrow, Fang Dian and her family squatted in front of the children’s families.
Fangdian Comment: [Report to the young master! When taking in another family, it is better to discuss it with your own parents! (kneeling and clasping fists servant.jpg)]
There was also a child who, perhaps learning from Picasso, actually split his own parents in the middle in order to put the dots in. One half of the body looked like his normal parents, but the other half was drawn to look like a dot.
Fangdian Comment: [How can a broken me join a broken family? (Half a little man covering his face and crying.jpg)]
The more Du Sanying looked at it, the more he wanted to laugh. He picked up another one, but when he turned it over, he was stunned.
This is not a painting, this is a hand-drawn wedding invitation template, next to which is a long list of various, categorized guests, such as colleagues, friends, family, etc.
Bai Liu's name is the first in the row of [Family], with brackets next to it (in the center of the main table).
The kitchen door was pushed open. Du Sanying was startled and tried to put the invitation away in a hurry. However, Bai Liu, who came out of the kitchen, saw him. He came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Du Sanying hung his head in shame, as if he had done something heinous: "I wanted to help clean up, but I saw the invitation..."
Bai Liu casually turned the invitation over. He glanced at it, paused, and turned to look at the kitchen: "Lu Yizhan, I'm the best man?"
Lu Yizhan poked half of his head out of the kitchen, and his tone was even more puzzled than Bai Liu's: "Yeah, who else could it be if not you?"
"Who is the bridesmaid?" Bai Liu asked.
Lu Yizhan frowned and recalled for a while: "It seems that Fang Dian is planning to invite her high school friends, but she hasn't decided yet."
After saying that, Lu Yizhan retracted his head again. After a while, Lu Yizhan seemed to have thought of something, and his slightly raised voice came out through the kitchen door: "Hey! Bai Liu, write down the list of everyone you brought this time! Don't forget!"
"I've invited mine and Fangdian's, but you haven't invited your friends yet."
Lu Yizhan's tone was so natural, as if it was natural for Bai Liu and Bai Liu's friends to be present at his and Fang Dian's wedding ceremony.
The door was pushed open and someone came back.
Tang Erda, who was carrying a glass of wine, was dressed in a formal suit and looked serious. Mu Sicheng, who was carrying a lot of food in his hands, had shining eyes. Behind Mu Ke were four butlers and seven large black boxes filled with unknown things, with Michelin three-star food labels on them.
Fang Dian stood right in front of them and said to Bai Liu with a smile, "I saw them downstairs when I was throwing out the garbage, so I brought them up with me."
"No need to change shoes, just come in." Fang Dian greeted.
Tang Erda's jaw was tense. This was his first time to visit Bai Liu's nominal friend's house. He felt... strangely nervous. He handed the wine to Fang Dian solemnly: "Excuse me."
Fang Dian took the wine and glanced at it. She was careless and didn't look at it carefully, so she put it directly on the shoe cabinet.
"You're welcome. You even brought some wine! Come in and sit down first!"
The bottle of wine, which was worth more than 60,000 yuan, just melted quietly on the shoe cabinet. Even Tang Er, who had handled the bottle of wine properly, didn't care about it after entering the house.
He and Du Sanying sat on the sofa with their bodies stiff, backs straight, dazed and solemn expressions, watching "Happy Superman" on TV.
Mu Sicheng was much more outgoing. He came in with two big bags of things and interrogated Bai Liu: "You actually told me that you didn't buy brains and duck intestines! How can we eat hot pot without these two things!"
Bai Liu lowered his eyes to the plastic bag in Mu Sicheng's hand: "Buy it and send it to the kitchen for processing."
Mu Ke walked in. He asked the butler to stay outside the door. He was a little apologetic and dissatisfied with himself. He frowned and said to Bai Liu, "It's too late. I can't buy good ingredients. I went to those restaurants to order some. I don't know the quality. I don't know if you can eat it. If you don't like it, don't eat it."
Bai Liu, who had bought 167 yuan worth of frozen food and two kilograms of discounted oranges, agreed calmly, "Yeah, you too."
