The girl in the room also came out. Her hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders. The look in her eyes when she looked at Fu Chengyu was almost effeminate.
She immediately noticed the person Fu Chengyu was staring at, gave a low hum, then walked over to Fu Chengyu, took his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said sweetly, "Ayu, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, just saw some annoying person." Fu Chengyu glanced at the girl nestled beside him, then impatiently pushed her away. "Chengjiao, go fix your hair and clothes. Who knows what I might do to you? Don't you think there's enough gossip about us at school?"
"So what do you want to do with me?" Cheng Jiao tilted her head playfully.
Fu Chengyu was even more annoyed. "I only paid you to come to my house to tutor me. Don't give me this nonsense. Get yourself ready and get out of here."
Cheng Jiao was once again rebuffed by Fu Chengyu, but she was already used to it. She casually tossed her hair and turned to walk towards the study.
Fu Chengyu's voice came from behind, "Remember to go through the side door!"
Fu Chengyu had his hands in his pockets. Although he wanted to show goodwill in front of his younger brother's beautiful friend, he really hated Fu Jianzhi, who had almost taken everything from him. So no matter how he pretended, he couldn't help but reveal his gloomy expression.
"Hello, my name is Fu Chengyu, and I am his older brother." Fu Chengyu didn't even bother to call Fu Jianzhi by his name.
He always felt that his younger brother might have lost his mind after being abandoned by the family once, and after coming back, he insisted on changing his name in a strange and inexplicable way.
He was quite blunt, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know that the Fu family had thrown him away and then picked him up again.
Fu Chengyu disliked his younger brother's name.
Even though Ruan Chen didn't have a good impression of Fu Chengyu and could tell that the air around him was rejecting Fu Jianzhi, she still politely extended her hand, ready to shake it politely.
But just as she raised her hand to a 30-degree angle, Fu Jianzhi, who was carefully placed on the table and walking back, brazenly tripped and fell flat on his face.
Ruan Chen mentally applauded the kid's pantomime performance.
However, she understood the meaning behind Fu Jianzhi's act, so she forcefully turned her arm, which was already raised at a 30-degree angle, to the right by another 120 degrees, helped him up, and even pretended to pat the dust off his body with concern.
Fu Chengyu was standing with his back slightly bent and his hand half-raised.
The eldest son of the Fu family was very embarrassed.
But he quickly composed himself because he suddenly thought of a very interesting way to play.
The eldest son of the Fu family is never short of female companions, but Fu Jianzhi has never had many friends. If I could take this friend away from him, the expression on my younger brother's face would be quite interesting.
Hello, what's your name?
Just as Ruan Chen was about to answer, Fu Jianzhi suddenly spoke up from the side, "Her surname is Cong."
Ruan Chen narrowed her eyes, not quite understanding what this kid was up to, but she still continued Fu Jianzhi's words, "From... Chen."
"So it's Chenchen. You look about the same age as Jianzhi, right? A little younger than me. How did you and Jianzhi meet?"
Ruan Chen will be sixteen in a few months, which makes her a little over three years older than Fu Jianzhi.
However, due to malnutrition in his early years, he always looked younger than his peers. After returning to Jingzhou, although he gradually recovered and his height gradually caught up, his face still looked younger than his peers.
Fu Jianzhi is the complete opposite of her; he has been growing taller and taller over the years, and his height has already surpassed that of Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen was too lazy to correct Fu Chengyu, so she started talking nonsense along with him, "I met Jian Zhi at the Jingzhou Library. We both like reading and often discuss related issues. We also make plans to study together at the library."
Fu Chengyu thought to himself, "That's right."
His younger brother lives at Beijing University of Science and Technology year-round and has almost no opportunity to interact with people his own age, but it's normal for him to be in the library.
"Chenchen, it'll be quite a while before dinner," Fu Chengyu said kindly to Ruan Chen. "You've never been to a house like this before, have you? Would you like me to show you around? Our house is very big."
He observed Ruan Chen's attire and appearance, which could only be described as ordinary.
There are no big names.
Moreover, although Ruan Chen appeared calm and composed standing there, Fu Chengyu was certain that it was just a facade. He could still sense her unease and awkwardness from her subtle movements.
If Ruan Chen knew what he was thinking, she would probably just scoff and laugh it off.
After saying that, Fu Chengyu gentlemanly reached out to Ruan Chensheng again.
"No need, I want to rest for a bit." Ruan Chen glanced at the sofa not far away.
Fu Chengyu said, "Come with me and take a look. It's a rare opportunity for someone to come to our Fu family residence."
Ruan Chen sighed helplessly, "I'm really not interested."
She was indeed quite tired. What she had told Lin Fengzi earlier about getting good rest recently was pure nonsense. Since returning from the US, her insomnia had worsened. She could only get no more than two hours of deep sleep each day, and the rest of the time was filled with random dreams.
Ruan Chen even tried taking some sleeping pills.
She really wanted to sit on the soft sofa and rest for a while, and then chat with Fu Jianzhi about anything and everything.
It would be even better if I could hold a cup of hot water in my hands.
Fu Chengyu clearly didn't notice that Ruan Chen's expression wasn't very good—but he didn't care. He just hardened his tone and continued to say to Ruan Chen, "Chenchen, I've invited you twice already. It would be impolite to refuse again."
Ruan Chen's composure and politeness finally ran out, but before she could even retort, Fu Jianzhi finally lost his patience.
He wanted to bring Ruan Chen to his home as a guest, to take her around and have a casual chat, but Fu Chengyu kept jumping around between them.
This time, he was too lazy to put on any pantomime, so he simply stepped forward and blocked the two of them. "Fu Chengyu, can you please stop acting like a jerk in front of my friends?"
