"What's fun in the swimming pool?"
Fang Shan wasn't interested. "With our looks, we'd be the center of attention if we went in. What if a girl took a fancy to me and took advantage of me?"
His focus is always different from that of ordinary people.
Fortunately, Wei Sushen was used to it and said frankly: "Maybe it will be interesting."
This was a strange mentality. Back then, when the system had been constantly talking about taking him to the river, Wei Sushen had initially prepared for the worst and actually practiced swimming diligently. Now, taking the initiative to lead Fang Shan to the swimming pool, it felt like a way to even the score.
Fang Shan seemed to have thought of something as well, and said happily, "The host at that time was really..."
Watching Wei Sushen's face gradually darken, he smiled and said, "Silly and cute."
Wei Sushen never gets the upper hand in verbal disputes, so after the game ended in a draw, Fang Shan got out of the car and walked towards the swimming pool.
As they entered, quite a few people were leaving. The weather had been warm and perfect for swimming, but a sudden drizzle had put many off. Those still heading in were mostly children with whom they had been unable to resist.
Although Fang Shan was narcissistic, his assumption was indeed correct.
From the moment they entered the swimming pool, many eyes were on them. Since they had decided to go swimming on a whim, they hadn't prepared anything, so they had to buy their swimming trunks on the spot. Wei Sushen's figure was naturally impressive, but unfortunately, it was all covered up by the long white scarf he was wearing.
Fang Shan: "Many girls nowadays are bold, but none of them are truly as fierce as wolves and tigers. The host does not need to be so on guard."
Wei Sushen glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I'm guarding against them?"
Fang Shan was completely unaware: "What else?"
“…”
Wei Sushen closed his eyes and found a recliner to rest.
Fang Shan sat next to him and asked, "We went to the swimming pool just to rest?"
Wei Sushen responded with the system's words just now: "What else?"
Fang Shan rolled his eyes and was about to go into the pool to swim.
A light, floating voice came from behind: "Don't try to pretend to drown to get artificial respiration."
Fang Shan slipped and said angrily, "What's the point?"
Wei Sushen's eyebrows twitched.
Fang Shan was addicted to acting, his eyes almost moist. "What's the point of living?"
Wei Sushen said calmly, "What will happen to the wine if you leave?"
Fang Shan took a deep breath and could no longer act.
Wei Sushen shook his head: "There is a massage room upstairs, and a KTV one floor above. It's a good place to kill time."
The implication was that Fang Shan could go out and play, but as for him, he looked like an old man on the verge of death, sitting motionless on the recliner.
Fang Shan poked him through the towel: "Besides carrying out missions, can't the host have other hobbies?"
Wei Sushen stood up and said seriously, "How about I help you quit drinking?"
In his opinion, this may be the most challenging task in the world.
Fang Shan sneered: "Then I will keep my hair long."
Wei Sushen was slightly stunned.
Fang Shan continued with a smile, "I believe the host has already read the wish I wrote down when I prayed that day."
They looked at each other and finally sighed at the same time.
Fang Shan: "Rest for a few more days, then go on the mission."
Wei Sushen nodded, it was rare for him to agree with him so highly.
Once they have free time, they can only harm each other.
The sound of children playing in the swimming pool came, and Fang Shan spotted a familiar figure with his sharp eyes: "It's Pei Yang."
Wei Sushen didn't take his words to heart at first. Pei Yang was famous for not liking crowds, so why would he go to the swimming pool when his wife was pregnant?
Fang Shan repeatedly poked the flesh on his waist. Wei Sushen reluctantly opened his eyes and glanced over there. Turns out it was Pei Yang. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey too?"
"What do you mean by 'also'?"
Wei Sushen didn't answer, but he had indeed done a lot of unexpected things recently, and sometimes he suspected that he had been put under a spell.
Pei Yang was dressed very casually and didn't look like he was here for a swim. Instead, his eyes were moving back and forth in the pool.
As if sensing something strange, he turned around and saw Wei Sushen wrapped in a towel like a dumpling and Fang Shan wearing only swimming trunks. His pupils dilated slightly in surprise.
Since we have seen each other, it would be impolite not to say hello.
Pei Yang took the initiative to come over and said, "What a coincidence."
In terms of age, he was the elder, so Wei Sushen stood up and greeted him as a courtesy.
Pei Yang looked at the man who mistook the towel for clothes, thought for a moment, and said, "This is a swimming pool, not a beach."
Fang Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued to say to Wei Sushen, "What if he gets a heat stroke..."
The next second, Wei Sushen wrapped himself tighter.
Pei Yang had seen all sorts of situations before, so he skipped the topic he had raised and asked, "Are you going out to play during the holidays?"
Wei Sushen was as good as Fang Shan at playing tricks, but he was too lazy to use his brain in his free time. He was frighteningly honest: "I was kicked out of the house and found a place to kill time."
Pei Yang was startled: "Did something happen?"
He understood Wei Ye and would not kick his own son out of the house for no reason.
"I have not committed any crime, nor have I done anything to harm my father's reputation or interests."
Pei Yang was even more surprised: "Why is that?"
Wei Sushen waved his hand: "Maybe he is in menopause."
“…”
Wei Sushen asked Pei Yang why he came here, and the latter explained: "I saw the child on the road before. I was buying a drink at the store. I was worried that he would get lost, so I followed him here."
Those who are about to become parents are always especially soft-hearted.
Wei Sushen naturally wanted to ask about his wife's situation. Pei Yang smiled and talked to him for a few words, and then told him his wife's due date.
While they were chatting, Fang Shan's nose twitched: "The smell of incense."
He was very familiar with this smell. System 333 was obsessed with burning incense and praying to Buddha all day long, and over time, his body would be contaminated with this smell.
Pei Yang smiled and said, "I went to a temple not long ago."
Because it was the doctor they invited that day who cured his wife's chronic cold problem, Pei Yang was very gentle to both of them.
Fang Shan thought for a moment and said, "But praying for the safety of mother and child?"
Pei Yang was stunned, his voice slightly louder due to his emotions: "Don't talk nonsense, mother and daughter are safe."
Fang Shan: "Have you checked the baby's gender in advance?"
Although the hospital does not allow it, it is not difficult for Pei Yang to know the gender of the child.
"No." Pei Yang said with a movement in his throat, "I went to the temple hoping that this baby would be a girl."
Fang Shan was surprised, and Wei Sushen was also a little puzzled. You know, most powerful families still hope to have a son. It has little to do with favoring boys over girls. The main reason is that it will be very tiring for a girl to shoulder the development of the entire group.
Pei Yang's wife has been married for many years but has no children. Normally, he would hope for a son as the first child.
"Learn from past mistakes." Pei Yang said ominously.
From a fair standpoint, if his son had a personality similar to Wei Sushen's in the future, Pei Yang would think that he would live ten years less.
Wei Sushen appeared on TV shows quite a few times recently. Whenever he thought about how Wei Ye was publicly executed in front of the whole country every time, he felt a chill.
Three grown men didn't even swim in the swimming pool, let alone play a game of water. Pei Yang and Wei Sushen talked about their daily life and their business cooperation, but in the end there was nothing to talk about, so both sides found excuses to leave.
Before they could both speak at the same time, Fang Shan spoke first: "It's better to meet by chance than to make an appointment. Since we are so destined to meet, how about going out for dinner together?"
Pei Yang wanted to refuse, but Fang Shan added, "There's a delicious restaurant with exquisite dim sum."
Thinking that his wife had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently and had no appetite, Pei Yang thought it would be a good idea to bring some pastries back to try.
On rainy days, many people order takeout, but few actually go to restaurants.
The store where you usually have to wait in line was able to easily arrange a seat as soon as you walked in today.
Fang Shan was a man who enjoyed himself when it came to food. The restaurant he specifically mentioned must have been delicious. Pei Yang praised it highly after eating, saying, "It's even better than the hotel."
Fang Shan followed his lead and praised him a few times, then considerately picked up a piece for Wei Sushen: "Eat more and don't look up."
Wei Sushen ignored the first three words, but understood something after hearing the second half. He ate a few pieces of cakes and after making sure he was full, he raised his head and met a pair of extremely deep eyes without any warning.
Fang Shan: "Life is like chocolates in a box."
Seeing Wei Ye standing across from them from a few tables away, Wei Sushen sighed and began to regret coming to this meal. He called him and the first thing he said was, "Long time no see."
Wei Ye hung up the phone with a cold face. The fat boy was close by and heard the voice on the phone. He explained: "What Big Brother wants to convey is that a day without seeing you feels like a long time."
Jiang Meiling was really worried about her stupid son, so she patted the fat boy's hand and said, "Your eldest brother means that every time he sees your dad, he feels like he's living a year."
After not having a good meal for two consecutive days and sending Xu Mo back, Wei Ye finally had time to go out for dinner. As a result, he ran into his son who was kicked out of the house early in the morning.
If only Wei Sushen was here, he could ignore it, but Pei Yang, his friend of many years, was also here. It was impossible for Wei Ye to turn a blind eye for both emotional and logical reasons.
We asked the waiter to change to a private room. The six of us sat in the spacious space and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
The little fat boy shrank his neck and complained that the restaurant was still using the air conditioner on a rainy day.
As an outsider, Pei Yang was in high spirits. This was a truly remarkable show, worth every penny. He and Wei Ye had known each other for a long time, and Wei Ye always had a stern expression, as if he had everything under control.
Now he is being completely defeated by his own son.
As the dishes were served one by one, the atmosphere relaxed considerably. Jiang Meiling smiled and asked Pei Yang about his recent situation. When she learned that he wanted a daughter, she expressed some regret: "I wanted a daughter too, but unfortunately..."
Pei Yang smiled and said, "Having two sons is also good."
As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Wei Sushen, then at the fat boy who was concentrating on eating: "After all, there are not many interesting souls."
“…”
Wei Ye, who had just started eating, almost broke a pair of chopsticks. He looked up and saw Pei Yang's extremely sincere expression, and instantly heard the sarcasm in the other's words.
Wei Ye's expression returned to a calmness that was almost terrifying: "If it's a daughter, let A Shen be your godson."
Pei Yang opened his eyes wide, but before he could say anything, Wei Ye had already cut him off: "Given the friendship between our two families, this is not too much. Good things come in pairs."
After they parted that day, Pei Yang fell ill and never recovered.
It is said that he was scared.
