There was a lot of chatter in the private room, all of them were acquaintances and no one was acting politely.

Fang Siyi didn't like socializing, so he pulled a stool and hid in a corner, playing Candy Crush. Suddenly, another cell phone in his pocket lit up, and he stared at the screen while taking it out of his pocket to have a video call with someone at home. After a moment of headache, he still turned away, "Mom."

His eyes were still fixed on Candy Crush.

"Xiaoyi, did you see the photo that Mom just sent you?"

"What photo?" Fang Siyi asked, he didn't even look at it.

"Take a look..." Yi's mother urged on the other end.

Fang Siyi had no choice but to multitask. He closed the video call with his right hand, entered WeChat, and saw the so-called photo that his mother had just sent him. He took a glance at it, without even seeing the person's face clearly, and simply withdrew. "No blind date, no talk of partners."

Yi's mother said, "Did you reject it so quickly after seeing the photo?"

Fang Siyi twitched his eyelids, "Is there any difference?"

It's just a face, a pair of eyes, and a mouth.

Yi's mother was so angry at his negative attitude that her teeth itched. "You kid, I asked you to have a relationship but you said you didn't want to. Your family called you but you said you didn't want to date. You are dreaming! Mom doesn't expect you to get married today and give me a grandson next year, but at least you should have a relationship."

"Your father and I have never done anything to you since you were a child. We are like children who are afraid of marriage."

"If you are like this, when you are older, everyone around you will be married and have children, but you will be old and you won't even have anyone to miss you and take care of you when you get sick."

The mumbling voice echoed in his ears, mixed with the voices of colleagues in the private room.

Fang Siyi swiped his index finger across the screen, deleted a group of messages, and finally turned his eyes from the screen to the video.

He spoke lazily and incredulously, "Mom, what century is this? I always thought you were not that old-fashioned."

Yi's mother said, "It has nothing to do with the century. I am just giving my son some life experience as a mother. I don't want you to regret it in a few years. Even if you don't want to get married, at least try to have a relationship. Love is not poisonous."

Fang Siyi wanted to say that love wastes time.

But a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

Tang Jinnan and Qin Hongfei.

Does love waste time? Yes, it does. But some people are willing to step into it even though it is clearly wasting time. Fang Siyi looked thoughtfully at the corner of the room. Qin Hongpin was sitting there. He wanted to go to her for advice, but the timing was obviously not right.

In the video, Yi's mother muttered a few more sentences and asked if he was listening.

Fang Siyi: "I'm listening."

Yi's mother: "Forget it, I guess it will go in one ear and out the other. Mom doesn't care about you anymore."

Fang Siyi, who was about to ask about the blind date, said: "..."

The screen showed that the video was interrupted.

Yi's mother sent two more messages, and the general idea was to let him take a look, in case

he liked her. Or if he had a sweetheart, he could also tell her.

"Mom is not that kind of old-fashioned person."

In the past, Fang Siyi would definitely not even look at them, but recently everyone around him has been in pairs, Qin Hongfei has been dating quietly, Mingyue also has a partner, and now Feng Ming and Huihui are coming in as a pair from outside. For some reason, he moved his thumb upwards and found a set of photos sent by his mother. He

originally just wanted to take a casual look -

but after his eyes touched the photos, his eyes stopped, paused, and then he couldn't help but look in the direction of Qin Hongfei.

Huihui walked into the private room holding Feng Ming's hand, and caught this scene as soon as she came in. Fang Siyi was looking at Qin Hongfei? Her heart skipped a beat and her hand holding Feng Ming couldn't help but tighten a little.

Feng Ming turned his head subconsciously, "What's wrong?"

Huihui woke up, raised her head and smiled, "Nothing."

But in the following conversation, her eyes always went to Qin Hongfei involuntarily.

When there were many people around, Qin Hongfei seemed to be the one who liked to listen to what others said. Everyone in the private room was very talkative, and from time to time they would talk to her about everything from life to work, and she would answer them one by one. It's not that she didn't notice Huihui's gaze, but the other party was not too obvious, so she didn't take it seriously.

However...

after a few hours.

Huihui looked and looked, and looked and looked again -

Qin Hongfei reached out to take the juice on the table and took a sip. When Huihui looked over again, she looked back directly.

Their eyes met.

Qin Hongfei asked directly, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to say to me?"

Huihui was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qin Hongfei to ask so directly, "No..."

Qin Hongfei smiled at her, "Oh, you have been looking at me, I thought you had something to say to me."

Hearing this, Feng Ming couldn't help but look at his girlfriend with a puzzled look on his face.

Huihui quickly smiled and said, "I just think you are pretty, so I couldn't help but look at you a few more times."

Lin Shaoxing said excitedly, "That's true. When we were in school, the junior girl was recognized as the most beautiful one in the school as soon as she came in. Not only was she pretty, but she was also good at studying and had strong skills

. All the boys who wanted to confess their love to her were discouraged." Xiaoyang pursed his lips, looked at Qin Hongfei with admiration, and said, "Girls who are good at studying usually fall in love late. If I were good at studying, I wouldn't fall in love so early."

Someone was amused and said, "You're saying that those who fall in love early are not good at studying."

Xiaoyang smiled embarrassedly, "That's not what I meant."

Everyone talked at once.

Fang Siyi thought about it, dragged a stool and moved directly to Qin Hongfei's side, one hand across the back of the chair, "Sister Fei."

Qin Hongfei turned her head and looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Fang Siyi raised his mobile phone and looked at her, hesitant to say, "You..."

Qin Hongfei: "?"

Fang Siyi said for a while, and finally put the phone in his pocket and muttered

, "Forget it." Mingyue said, "Don't forget it, just say it directly and let me hear it."

Fang Siyi reached out and played a set of Candy Crush for her, then said, "Gossip." However, looking at the waiter coming in and out of the private room, he thought for a moment and asked, "Does your cousin have a date?"

Qin Hongfei: "?"

Her thumb that was sliding on the screen of her mobile phone stopped, and she looked at Fang Siyi with an incredible look.

Cousin, which cousin?

Qin Qian, Qin Shan?

Qin Hongfei locked onto the former effortlessly.

Fang Siyi said directly, "Qin Qian!"

Qin Hongfei blinked slightly and slowly put away her mobile phone, "I remember that you and Qin Qian didn't have much in common." What was he asking about? She didn't think Fang Siyi would ask a girl for no reason.

Fang Siyi put his hands in his pockets, sat with his legs apart in a relaxed posture, and said to her frankly, "It's nothing, I just thought that if she doesn't have a boyfriend, I want to pursue her. What do you think?"

Ming Yue: "????"

Qin Hongfei also: "?"
