Jiang Meiling is a very good cook. The food on the table is very exquisite and can be described as a work of art.
The only downside is... there are too few of them.
Fang Shan looked at the neatly arranged slices of vegetables on each plate. It was no exaggeration to say that he could count them all at a glance.
Hoping for luck, he asked Wei Sushen, "Is this the Western way of eating, with one plate per person?"
Wei Sushen glanced at him and said coldly, "Follow the traditional way of thinking."
Jiang Meiling was busy confiscating the little fat boy's snacks and didn't notice their exchange. After making sure she had taken the last piece of candy from the little fat boy, she politely said to Fang Shan, "Eat more. Just treat it like you're at home."
Fang Shan really wanted to eat more, but the reality was that this entire table might not even be enough for his breakfast.
After finishing the prayer and staying overnight, we drove back before dawn the next day.
The morning breeze was too cool. Even though I didn't do anything, looking at the rising sun which had not yet risen completely, I felt that I was very diligent.
Fang Shan was immersed in this illusion, and the morning light in the sky seemed to bring endless hope.
This good mood lasted for a total of two hours and eight minutes. When the car drove from the forest path to the wide road, Fang Shan saw a familiar figure from a distance.
In his eyes, Chen Bingying was not wearing any makeup today, and the morning glow shining on her pale face made her look particularly pitiful.
Not everyone can appreciate this beauty.
Wei Ye and Jiang Meiling had a disagreement on how to deal with the issue of Chen Bingying, and he was kicked out of the house for a while. Now he looks at Chen Bingying as if she were a plague god.
Too lazy to get involved in this mess, he let Wei Sushen and the others go first while he drove to the garage to park the car.
"I was taking exams some time ago and didn't have time to tutor you." Chen Bingying first smiled at the little fat boy. Her behavior was very decent and there was nothing wrong with her words and actions.
When the little fat boy heard that he had to study, the flesh on his face almost wrinkled together.
Fang Shan nudged Wei Sushen privately with his elbow: "It seems she can't wait any longer."
The agreed time was originally one month later, but the unexpected meeting made Fang Shan reconsider whether to let the host take on daily tasks during this period.
Wei Sushen didn’t have too many thoughts. The only thing that interested him was the other party’s purpose this time.
We are all family, and the little fat boy gradually learned Wei Sushen's calm demeanor: "Actually, you can take a few more days off and make more friends and have more fun while you are young."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but the following sentence came from the bottom of his heart.
"Friend?" Chen Bingying lowered her eyes, and after a moment, she nodded knowingly: "I have made a good friend recently."
They were all veterans, and Fang Shan had a feeling that things were not simple from the moment she opened her mouth.
Chen Bingying looked a little confused, as if recalling something, and then said, "Oh, right, I think I heard her mention you guys before. Maybe they know each other."
Fang Shan curled his lips and whispered to Wei Sushen, "It's still hard to say...it seems there is no doubt about it."
The little fat boy followed his brother's instructions. After Wei Sushen nodded slightly, he cooperated and asked, "Who is it?"
"Xu Mo."
As soon as the words came out, Fang Shan keenly felt that the atmosphere around them had changed. Even Jiang Meiling, who had not been involved in their conversation, was stunned for a moment, and she and the fat boy subconsciously looked at Wei Sushen.
Fang Shan solved the case immediately: this person named Xu Mo has a close relationship with Wei Sushen.
Chen Bingying's level was indeed much higher, and she seemed to be certain that saying this name would sow discord.
Wei Sushen's expression didn't change much. Wei Ye, who had parked the car, saw that they were still there and frowned, "Why don't you go in?"
Fang Shan: "A large-scale adultery scene."
“…”
If it was his own child, Wei Ye would definitely send him to the temple to practice silent meditation as soon as possible.
Chen Bingying stopped there and followed them into the villa, conscientiously fulfilling her duties as a tutor and tutoring the little fat boy with his homework.
Fang Shan followed Wei Sushen upstairs without asking any questions. When they reached the room, she held her face with her hands and looked into his eyes.
Wei Sushen: "Just ask whatever you want to ask."
Fang Shan shook his head to indicate no, and stared at him with a strange look.
Under his death gaze, Wei Sushen said helplessly: "There is nothing between Xu Mo and me."
Fang Shan nodded and began, starting with the usual sentence structure used by scumbags.
Wei Sushen: "Don't worry."
Fang Shan continued to nod: "According to common sense, the host should dislike me for being unreasonable and suspicious."
Wei Sushen pressed his eyebrows. He was so busy when he came back this time that he forgot about it and didn't have time to force his system to quit watching melodramatic romance dramas.
He was about to speak when Fang Shan held out a hand to stop him: "No, just let me figure it out on my own."
He enjoys the ups and downs of the plot.
Unfortunately, Wei Sushen didn't let him have his wish. He simply said, "Our two families are old friends."
Fang Shan defined it as: "Childhood sweethearts."
Wei Sushen's eyelids twitched, and he resisted the urge to throw him off the building. He continued, "When I was in high school, I encountered a drunk driver on the way home from school. Xu Mo was injured while trying to save me."
"The scene where the beauty saves the hero and pledges her love to him is about to begin."
Wei Sushen: "My relationship with her is just that of friends."
There are not many people who can be truly called friends by Wei Sushen. Fang Shan suddenly understood where Chen Bingying's confidence came from. His encounter with Wei Sushen was similar to Xu Mo's rescue of someone.
"Interesting." Fang Shan sat cross-legged on the chair. Wei Sushen saw an emotion in his eyes and reminded him, "Sitting cross-legged for a long time is not good for your heart."
"Oh." Fang Shan crossed his legs instead.
“…”
Fang Shan: "Want to make a bet? I bet Chen Bingying will find a way to bring you and Xu Mo together in a short period of time."
Wei Sushen glanced at him and asked, "What's the point?"
Fang Shan clutched his chest, feigning heartbroken pain: "Of course it's to make me feel bad."
Wei Sushen: "Am I important to you?"
Fang Shan nodded seriously.
Wei Sushen asked a question: "If wine and I fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?"
Fang Shan's face turned pale instantly, with cold sweat on his forehead. He laughed dryly twice and stiffly changed the subject: "Are you thirsty after talking for so long?"
As he spoke, he seemed to be going to pour a glass of water.
Looking at his back, Wei Sushen spoke again: "Your hair is messy."
Fang Shan stopped and straightened his hair in front of the mirror.
Wei Sushen interjected at the right moment: "If it's too long, it will get messy easily. It's better to go to the barber shop to get it trimmed."
Fang Shan shook his head and said that it was unnecessary.
Wei Sushen: "Your eyes are very beautiful, darker than normal people's."
Fang Shan was slightly surprised by the sudden praise.
Wei Sushen said at the right moment: "Would you like to consider getting a perm?"
This is a good plan, as it can shorten the long hair that the system has grown without making any noise.
However--
"I refuse." Fang Shan said with a smile, "Why bother?"
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and shouted 666, transforming into a soft and cute boy, and changed back the next second.
After a brief silence, Wei Sushen realized that if the system allowed him to, he could grow his hair down to his waist in a second. He felt like he needed to calm down. Fang Shan handed him some water and pursed his lips. "I'll go downstairs and get some ice. Do you want some?"
Fang Shan declined his kindness.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard a girl's clear voice. Chen Bingying was teaching the little fat boy seriously. At least she looked very responsible.
Wei Sushen took out ice cubes from the freezer and shook his head. If Wei Subei didn't dislike girls with good grades, he might really have developed a good impression of her.
Unfortunately, some people are born to lose at the starting line.
The tutoring session ended around 4 p.m. Jiang Meiling symbolically asked her to stay for dinner before leaving. Chen Bingying smiled and made an excuse: "I have a meeting with friends tonight."
After she left, Jiang Meiling said to Wei Sushen, "Xu Mo is a good child. You'd better remind her when the time is right."
Wei Sushen nodded: "I will find time to talk to her."
Jiang Meiling thought for a moment and then said, "It's not polite to point fingers at a girl's friends. Be careful not to be too harsh with your words."
Wei Sushen: "I know what's going on."
Jiang Meiling was still a little worried and asked tentatively, "How are you going to tell her?"
Wei Sushen: "Send a message and ask her to open her eyes before making friends next time."
“…”
Wei Sushen was scolded upstairs by Jiang Meiling, who repeatedly emphasized that he should think it over and make an appointment to meet with someone to talk alone.
Fang Shan watched the man in front of him drink a bottle of ice water without changing his expression and sighed, "The host will have no friends if he keeps doing this."
Wei Sushen looked out the window calmly: "No."
Fang Shan thought again and realized that from a realistic point of view, it would not happen even if she was beautiful and rich.
"Tell me about it."
Wei Sushen turned his head to look at him: "What did you say?"
"Xu Mo." There was no malice in Fang Shan's tone, but rather pure curiosity.
"She's good-looking, popular in school, and as for her personality..." Wei Sushen recalled, "she's more considerate than most girls."
Fang Shan blinked ambiguously: "We've known each other for so many years, and she hasn't confessed to you?"
Wei Sushen laughed: "On the contrary, when the two families were at their best, her mother joked about an alliance at a dinner party..."
Fang Shan had an expression as if he was listening to gossip: "And then?"
Wei Sushen: "Xu Mo immediately emphasized that she would rather date a woman than be with me."
Fang Shan: "Are you trying to attract attention, or do you really dislike me?"
Wei Sushen took a sip of water: "The latter."
Fang Shan's eyes suddenly grew in interest. It turned out there were still pure people in this world. "Take me to see them when you have time."
"good."
·
A casual conversation suddenly turned into reality in the evening.
Under the soft lighting, the dishes are more appetizing.
Before she could even start eating, the doorbell rang urgently. Aunt Zhang glanced at the display screen and turned back to say, "It's Miss Chen."
Jiang Meiling nodded: "Let her in."
Chen Bingying wasn't alone. She was struggling to support a drunk girl. Jiang Meiling saw the girl's profile, was startled for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward to help: "Xiaomo?"
"She's drunk." Chen Bingying gasped, "She's acting crazy and refuses to tell me her home address. It's not safe to bring her to the hotel. After thinking it over, I think it's safer to bring her here.
Fang Shan stood aside with a half-smile on his face, and his eyes met briefly with Chen Bingying's.
Xu Mo was already drunk and didn't know where to go. She pushed away Jiang Meiling who was supporting her and staggered to Wei Sushen: "Take care of me."
After saying that, he tilted his head and fell asleep.
Chen Bingying looked at Wei Sushen who helped Xu Mo to the sofa, then looked at Fang Shan, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Xu Mo's skin was quite white, but it turned rosy because of the alcohol. At this moment, she was holding Wei Sushen's wrist tightly, muttering something inaudible.
Chen Bingying walked over to Fang Shan and whispered, "Is it hard for him to watch him take care of others?"
However, before he could finish his words, Wei Sushen suddenly broke free from Xu Mo's hand and went upstairs.
Everyone thought he was going to get a blanket to cover the person, but when he returned to the living room, Wei Sushen only had a small bag in his hand. He opened it and applied a wet compress on Xu Mo's face.
Xu Mo struggled a few times, but to no avail.
After a while, Wei Sushen looked at the makeup remover towel that had turned colorful with disdain and said sorry.
Little Fatty: "...Brother, what are you doing?"
Wei Sushen casually threw the used makeup remover wipe into the trash can and said calmly, "Sleeping with makeup on is very harmful to your skin, let alone after drinking."
Jiang Meiling, who was watching the whole process, felt a slight tremor in her heart. After a long while, she said to Wei Ye who was standing beside her, "Don't stop stopping their relationship."
The 'they' here naturally refers to Fang Shan and Wei Sushen.
Wei Ye's expression became complicated and he nodded slightly. Being able to find a partner like this, regardless of gender, might be due to the blessing of his ancestors.
The author has something to say: Wei Sushen's self-image: he is usually harsh, but essentially a good person who takes gentle care of his friends.
Wei Sushen’s friends: ...Hehe!
