Chen Fan ran off to buy breakfast.
Because he simply couldn't stand it any longer.
He worried that if he stayed at home, Bai Ruoxue would feel awkward and wouldn't dare to look him in the eye.
I went to buy breakfast while I was there, to give the two sisters some time alone together.
Sure enough, when they returned, the two sisters looked a little more natural, at least not so embarrassed.
The three sat at the dining table. Bai Qingci was eating fried dough sticks with her head down, while Bai Ruoxue seemed to be deep in thought, as if she was thinking about something.
In short, both of them deliberately avoided speaking to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
"Um... what are your plans for today?"
"Huh? I don't want to eat..."
Bai Ruoxue subconsciously uttered "늉", but immediately blushed.
"I'm going to meet with some board members today."
Bai Qingci quickly said, "I...I want to be with my sister."
Chen Fan said, "My flight is at 4 PM. Call me before 3 PM, and we'll go back to Yunhai together."
Although Bai Qingci really wanted to stay, she had already promised her sister last night, so she could only nod reluctantly.
Bai Ruoxue comforted her, "Don't worry. After things are over here, we can stay together forever."
"Um."
Where are you going today?
Bai Ruoxue asked curiously.
"I'm just browsing around," Chen Fan said with a smile, "and maybe meeting a few friends."
"Then be careful."
"Don't worry. The Bai family's operation failed last night, so they shouldn't dare to be so arrogant today."
Chen Fan finished his breakfast as quickly as possible, then said goodbye.
After he left, Bai Qingci hesitated for a long time before finally looking up at her sister.
"sister……"
"Don't ask."
Bai Ruoxue was speechless and embarrassed.
She's at her wit's end.
I actually crawled into Chen Fan's bed last night.
She was certain that when she met Chen Fan last night, Chen Fan went into the room first.
That means when I went into the wrong room last night, Chen Fan must have been in bed.
She realized she had gone to the wrong place, so she went to sleep in the living room.
This made Bai Ruoxue even more embarrassed.
One can even imagine the shock and astonishment on Chen Fan's face when he suddenly discovered someone lying next to him last night.
Does he think he did it on purpose?
In that case, I'd rather just die.
Bai Qingci stared at her older sister for a while, wondering what she had said.
Judging from her older sister's expression, she guessed that there must have been something between the two of them last night that she didn't know about.
Fortunately, I have a secret.
At least what happened this morning must not be known to my older sister.
...
"Chen Xiao, over here!"
Chen Fan stood beside the car and waved to the young man walking towards the building in the distance.
Chen Xiao, the fourth uncle's child.
After graduating from university, I chose to stay in Beijing with my girlfriend to work.
Moreover, this little girl is quite competitive.
Instead of relying on Chen Fan to get a job at Ruofan Group, he went for job interviews with his girlfriend.
"Cousin."
Chen Xiao ran over excitedly.
"When are you coming to the capital? Why didn't you call ahead so I could pick you up?"
"Why would I answer it? It's not like it's a human being."
Chen Fan smiled and sized up his cousin in front of him.
After a period of absence, Chen Xiao has shed the naivety of his university days, now wearing a business suit, and his hairstyle has changed.
"Not bad, not bad. You look presentable, and you've become much more familiar with people."
Chen Xiao scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
He couldn't be proud in front of his cousin Chen Fan.
"When are you getting off work? I'll treat you and your girlfriend to dinner," Chen Fan joked with a smile.
Chen Xiao took out his phone and glanced at the time.
“I can leave early because of my work here, but Jingjing probably won’t get off work for another hour.”
Chen Fan asked with a smile, "Are your workplaces far apart?"
"It's not far. She's in Zhongguancun, and I usually get there in twenty minutes by subway."
"Okay. Let's find a place first, and then we'll eat together when your girlfriend gets off work."
"Okay."
"Brother, wait a minute, I'll go ask the manager for leave."
A short while later, Chen Xiao ran out of the building and got into Chen Fan's car.
Seeing the little girl sitting in the car, curiously looking at it, Chen Fan smiled and asked, "What? Do you like cars?"
Chen Xiao gave an awkward smile.
Have you taken your driving test yet?
“I’m here to take the test. Jingjing failed her second driving test last time.”
Chen Fan laughed and said, "The second part of the driving test is indeed quite difficult."
"Want to buy a car?"
Chen Xiao nodded with a forced smile: "I do have that plan, but Jingjing said it's unnecessary to have a car in Beijing because of the traffic. It's too congested. It's better to take a taxi or the subway than to drive."
"That's really true."
Chen Fan chuckled and joked, "Your girlfriend isn't materialistic; she's a good girl."
"By the way, where are you two living now?"
"We rented a room near the Fourth Ring Road."
"I'll go check it out at noon."
"Um."
The two chatted all the way and finally went to an upscale restaurant.
Chen Fan found the place, and after Chen Xiao entered the store, he kept looking around curiously.
For young people who have just graduated and started working, coming to a place like this is indeed very unusual.
Sitting in the private room, Chen Fan told the waiter to make him a cup of tea first, and then order the dishes later.
After the waiter left, Chen Fan inquired about Chen Xiao's recent situation.
After graduating and finding jobs with my girlfriend, our daily lives are completely different from those in college.
The two of them have to get up early every day to catch the subway and then go to work.
Chen Xiao works for a top 500 company in China, and the salary is quite good. However, he is currently in his internship period, and his salary is not much. He is in the learning and accumulation stage.
Chen Xiao's girlfriend, Huang Jingjing, is interning at a company and earns more than him. However, she is much busier at work.
It's usually difficult for the two of them to get together, and they only have a short time to spend together in the evenings.
However, if one of them works overtime, the two of them will not be able to eat together.
This kind of life is completely different from that at school, and the two are still in the process of actively adapting.
Despite their busy schedules, the young couple remains optimistic and full of hope and confidence for the future.
"Excellent! Excellent. That's the mindset you need."
Chen Fan smiled and praised him.
In fact, Chen Xiao and his girlfriend are in the same situation now as Chen Fan and Su Ruochu were when they first graduated.
At that time, the two of them had just graduated and didn't have much money, so they rented a place to live.
Chen Fan is busy with work every day, and Su Ruochu will cook a table full of dishes for him to eat when he comes home from get off work in the evening.
Every time I come home exhausted from get off work, I stand downstairs and look at the light that comes on upstairs.
All of Chen Fan's fatigue would be swept away.
I feel that life is full of hope.
Chen Fan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for his cousin.
"In big cities, it's not easy to find a woman who's willing to struggle alongside you. So cherish her."
