Lanshan Garden was brightly lit.
Fu Jingsheng and Rong Yan are both coming back for dinner today, and Ye Jianming and Rong Bing will also be coming over.
My aunt prepared a table full of dishes.
"Sister Liu, stay for dinner before you leave." After preparing the meal, the aunt was about to go back when Han Yue called her back.
Knowing that there would be many people eating that evening, Sister Liu was worried that there wouldn't be enough food, so she declined, saying, "Madam, I have to go home to cook for my son tonight. Please don't be shy, we'll do it next time."
"Okay, drive carefully." Han Yue escorted the aunt to the elevator.
Coffee shop.
Ye Jianming originally wanted to leave separately from Rong Bing. His agreement to work here with Rong Bing did not mean that he wanted to be friends with her.
After closing the shop, I took a few steps, but my feet felt stuck. Now, even if I met a stranger on the same road who asked for help, she probably wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
The man steeled himself, turned around, and said, "Get in my car."
Unexpectedly, Rong Bing refused, saying, "I'd better go by myself. I know you hate me."
"I have a pretty clear understanding of myself, but Rong Yan invited you today too, so you don't have to wait for us to arrive before we can eat. I'm starving." Ye Jianming said insincerely, "Alright, get in my car."
"Oh." Rong Bing knew that Ye Jianming meant well, but he was just saying that on purpose. She obediently followed behind the man.
Ye Jianming walks very fast, which makes Rong Bing, whose legs have not yet recovered, struggle to keep up.
When Ye Jianming arrived at the parking lot, he turned around and realized that Rong Bing was gone. He then remembered that she had a leg injury and walked slowly.
The man stood by the car and waited until he saw Rong Bing's head. He then honked the horn to indicate the car's location to the woman.
Rong Bing mustered all her strength and ran forward, climbing onto the car, panting heavily.
They ignored each other the whole way.
The atmosphere was so awkward it was suffocating.
Ye Jianming sped up to save time, and Fu Jingchen and Rong Bing breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at Rong Yan's house.
Rong Bing greeted Han Yue first.
Fu Jingchen greeted Fu Jingsheng first.
"Everyone, please sit down." Han Yue and Rong Yan invited everyone to sit down.
Ye Jianming suddenly slapped his head: "Oh dear, I was so busy rushing that I forgot to bring some fruit. It's not good to come empty-handed."
"Ye Jianming, stop! If you keep being so polite, don't come to my house again. What's going on? It's just a casual meal," Rong Yan said angrily.
“That’s right, come over here, Auntie is very happy, it’s more lively with more people.” Han Yue and her daughter-in-law were of one mind.
Ye Jianming said, "Okay, then I'll feel free to freeload."
"Eat more, it would be best if you finished it all." Han Yue's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

At Fu Jingchen's company, as soon as it was time to leave work, he would pack his things and rush home.
I'm taking the train to Zhou Luo's house early tomorrow morning.
He was going to get a haircut that evening so he could appear smart and presentable to his future in-laws.
After leaving the company, he called Zhou Luo and told her that he was just getting a haircut at the barbershop near his home and would come to see her when he was done.
Zhou Luo had been waiting at home for two hours. Knowing that Fu Jingchen had gotten off work, she happily said, "I'll come find you and keep you company. I also need to get my hair done."
"Okay, Aishang knows, right? Just come over here."
“Jingchen, how about I pack my bags and go over there? I can stay at your place tonight and leave directly tomorrow, saving us the trouble of traveling back and forth,” Zhou Luo said.
“Don’t you have a lot of stuff? You wait for me at home, I’ll help you carry it, and I’ll pick you up while I’m at it. I’ll call the head of the hairdressing department and say I’ll be a little late.” Fu Jingchen was worried that Zhou Luo wouldn’t be able to carry so much stuff.
"Okay, I'll get ready first," Zhou Luo said happily.
That evening, the man put his things in the car and went to the barbershop with Zhou Luo.
The hairdresser and Fu Jingchen have known each other for many years. Fu Jingchen used to bring Rong Bing here all the time. He had seen Rong Bing about a month ago, but he didn't expect that she had been replaced.
It seems the rumors from the neighborhood aunties are true: Fu Jingchen cheated on his girlfriend, and Rong Bing has come to his door to cause trouble several times.
He couldn't say anything about his friend's private affairs.
He merely gave Fu Jingchen a meaningful glance.
"Don't say anything," Fu Jingchen reminded him.
"I know," the barber nodded.
Zhou Luo roughly guessed some things from the brief conversation.
She remembered that Rong Bing had gotten a beautiful big perm before. She asked Rong Bing where she got it done, and Rong Bing said Aishang. At the time, she didn't pay much attention to the address, but she remembered the name of the hair salon.
Therefore, Fu Jingchen used to bring Rong Bing here all the time. No wonder the hairdresser's expression was indescribable. He must have been a little surprised to see that Fu Jingchen had changed hairdressers.
Zhou Luo's personality is similar to Rong Bing's; both are extroverted. She started chatting with the hairdresser.
Fu Jingchen was afraid the hairdresser would let something slip, because he knew that after Rong Bing injured her leg, he was the one who carried her over every time.
He was so good to Rong Bing, Zhou Luo must be furious when she heard that.
Fu Jingchen interjected, "Luo Luo, you should talk to me for a while too."
"Okay, what do you want to say?" Zhou Luo asked, squinting his eyes.
"You can have Director Dai style your hair; he's incredibly skilled," Fu Jingchen said.
“Great! That just so happens that I haven’t found a suitable hairstyle yet. Director Dai, I have thin and fine hair, so it always feels like it’s flat against my scalp. Is there any way to make it more voluminous?” Zhou Luo asked.
"Yes, you need to get a Morgan perm, which takes a lot of time. Shall we do it today?"
"Do it." Zhou Luo had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to get a suitable hairstyle here.
“She said she would do it, and she did.” Fu Jingchen supported her.
The two of them stayed up until midnight before finally heading home, yawning repeatedly.
Zhou Luo kept telling herself not to dwell on the past. Now that Fu Jingchen was by her side, what was there to be dissatisfied about?
But she couldn't help asking, "Fu Jingchen, did Rong Bing always get her hair cut here?"
"Basically, I just impulsively deposited tens of thousands of yuan. I'm afraid I won't be able to use it all. Luo Luo, from now on, just mention my name and come directly here. Besides haircuts, we also offer massages. It's right outside the door, very convenient." Fu Jingchen knew the woman was jealous, so he simply explained.
"Okay, then I won't be polite."
Fu Jingchen put his arm around the woman's waist: "Luo Luo, Rong Bing is really over now. You are the only one in my heart. Being with her is good to her, which just proves that I am a worthy person to date, right? But this is good now. I am only with you, and I will only be with you in the future, so don't doubt my sincerity."
Fu Jingchen's words truly warmed my heart.
"Hmm, now that you say so, I don't doubt it anymore, Jingchen. I believe everything you explain. In the future, whenever I feel insecure, can you do this for me? Actually, just a few words are enough to stop me from overthinking." Zhou Luo dispelled her doubts.
“Okay,” Fu Jingchen said firmly.
Zhou Luo suddenly turned around and kissed the man's lips.
The neighborhood was quiet late at night, with no one in sight, but Fu Jingchen was still worried about being caught on camera by the intersection's surveillance cameras.
He patted the woman on the back: "It's just a few more steps, we'll do it when we get home."
