nWhen the blue hour started at night in the capital, the lights turned on, and it was as bright as day.

nAt the plaza in the middle of the street not far from the night market, a colorful Christmas tree about ten meters tall attracted many people to stop and take photos. Song Fengwan hid half of her face in her scarf and tilted her head to look at the Christmas tree.

n

n

nThere were many vendors selling things such as luminous balloons, flashing cat ears, and deer antler headbands here. It was exceptionally lively.

nShe was busy studying and had had no time to come to the city center. The festive atmosphere was already very strong.

n“Little Sister, do you want to take a picture?” Duan Linbai was still wearing that mink coat and a mask, so his face couldn’t be seen clearly.

n“No thanks.” Song Fengwan did want to take a photo as a memento, but she was too embarrassed.

n

n

n“Go on. My photography skills are superb.” Duan Linbai was too enthusiastic and directly pushed Song Fengwan under the Christmas tree. “Come on. Give me a pose.”

nDuan Linbai took out his phone and started looking for an angle.

nPose? Song Fengwan glanced at the people around her, especially Fu Chen, who was standing behind Duan Linbai, out of the corner of her eye. He was wearing a long black down jacket, and his eyes were darker than the night sky. But they were illuminated by the light and looked as though they were bathing in starlight.

nHe was looking at her.

n

n

n“Don’t just stand there. Make a pose.” Duan Linbai half-squatted in a professional posture.

nSong Fengwan hesitated for a moment and silently made a ‘V’ with her fingers.

nDuan Linbai took two photos. “Change your pose again!”

nThen Fu Chen saw Song Fengwan raise her other hand and make another ‘V’ with her fingers.

nDuan Linbai almost burst out laughing. This little sister…

n… is so cute.

n

n

nHe took a few photos.

n“Done?” Song Fengwan was embarrassed by Fu Chen’s gaze.

n“Third Fu, do you want to take a picture?” Duan Linbai kept giving him a meaningful look.

nThe two of them had grown up together. Even if they didn’t say anything, they could tell what the other was thinking with just a look. Although Duan Linbai was a little frivolous, he didn’t dawdle when it came to important matters. Things like opportunities, you have to create them for your bros.

nSong Fengwan saw Fu Chen walking over and instinctively wanted to slip away.

n“Little Sister, don’t go. You’ve been living at Third Fu’s house for so long. You two should take a photo together as a memento.”

n“I…” Song Fengwan was embarrassed. As she watched Fu Chen gradually walk toward her, she suddenly didn’t know what to say and could only stand in place and wait.

nDuan Linbai’s words blocked her path of retreat, and she couldn’t escape at all.

n

n

nFu Chen stood beside her. Song Fengwan was much shorter than him, so she raised her head and looked up at him. He’s so tall.

n“What are the two of you doing? Being human-shaped billboards? Move closer to each other. My phone screen is small, so you two are out of frame.” Duan Linbai was holding back his laughter.

nFu Chen moved an inch, and Song Fengwan moved a little. The two of them maintained a polite distance. Seeing this, Duan Linbai almost burst out laughing.

n“Hurry up. I’m still waiting to eat barbecue.”

nBefore Duan Linbai could finish speaking, Fu Chen suddenly lifted his hand and put it on Song Fengwan’s shoulder. His slender fingers clasped her in place, and he leaned over toward her. His down jacket was slightly open, and he was wearing a sweater inside. Song Fengwan’s arm was completely pressed against his chest.

nHis heartbeat was steady and strong, and it traveled from his arm to Song Fengwan, making her heart beat faster and faster.

nDuan Linbai was speechless.

nMy god.

nI’ve known Fu Chen for more than twenty years, and it’s only today that I realize how strong he is at flirting with girls.

nHe goes hands-on straight away.

nSong Fengwan was a little stiff, but the grip of his fingers was too strong and held her down, not allowing her to move.

n“You don’t want to take a photo with me?” Fu Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her. His breath turned into mist when it met with the surrounding cold air, and it landed on the side of her neck. It was slightly cold yet also had an inexplicable humid warmth.

n“No.” Her body froze with one of her arms pressed against his body. The temperature of his body was so hot that it seemed to scorch her. Do all men have such high body temperatures?

n

n

n“Then why are you hiding?” Fu Chen lowered his voice and whispered into her ear.

nIt was intimate.

nThe pleasant sandalwood scent on him was clear and pervasive. His hand on her shoulder was strong and powerful, holding her tightly.

n“I’m not hiding.” Song Fengwan bit her lip, her heart clenching into a ball. He’s too close.

n“Then come a bit closer.” Fu Chen whispered into her ear, his voice hoarse.

nEven closer? We’re already sticking to each other.

nDuan Linbai squatted on the ground with his phone raised, looking aggrieved… F*ck, are these two flirting?

n“Can the two of you hurry up? My legs hurt, and my back is sore.” Duan Linbai snorted coldly.

nSong Fengwan moved closer to Fu Chen. Fu Chen curved his lips up slightly. “You’re so obedient…”

nHe ran his fingertips over the top of her head, gently brushing it.

nSong Fengwan’s face flushed red. Once Duan Linbai finished taking the pictures, she immediately fled.

nFu Chen didn’t chase after her. Instead, he went to a young man and bought a luminous balloon.

n“Your girlfriend is very beautiful.” This man had been standing here and selling things, and he had been looking at them since Song Fengwan stood under the Christmas tree.

n“Thank you.” Fu Chen paid using his phone, took the balloon, and left with a smile.

nSong Fengwan stood beside Duan Linbai and watched as Fu Chen bought the balloon and walked toward her. Her heart started palpitating again.

nFu Chen passed the balloon to her, and Song Fengwan thanked him while taking the balloon from his hand. Somehow, she felt that the balloon was slightly burning her hand.

nDuan Linbai reached out his arm and nudged Fu Chen’s arm. “You finally know how to please others. You’re quite good. Where did you learn this?”

nFu Chen raised his eyebrows. “I just saw many girls holding a balloon, so I thought she should have one too.”

nDuan Linbai was caught off guard by the sudden display of affection.

n“Remember to send me the photos.”

n“Third Fu, I’m in the gossip entertainment business. Do you know how valuable your photo is?”

n“Not as valuable as your fair butt… naked.”

n“F*ck—” Duan Linbai exploded in anger.

nNext time I sunbathe, I’ll take off all my clothes and be naked! I’ll suntan both sides of my body!

n***

nThe three of them found a barbecue stall and sat down. They ordered some food and ate until it was almost 11 p.m. before going home.

nSong Fengwan learned a lot about Fu Chen from Duan Linbai. Fu Chen actually wasn’t that perfect of a person. Once, when he was sick of studying, he skipped school to go and play games. He was dragged home by his eldest brother and argued very self-justifiably. His eldest brother was so angry that he almost grabbed a feather duster to whip him.

n“Third Master, you were rebellious too?” Song Fengwan held a bottle of soda and was biting on the straw.

n“Yes.” Fu Chen sat upright and barely ate anything.

n“Third Fu is a human being too. How could he be a perfect person?” Duan Linbai picked up a skewer and ate heartily.

n“Yes, I made bad friends. I was young and weak-minded, so I was almost led astray.”

nDuan Linbai choked. “I didn’t f*cking lead you astray. Didn’t you say that class was boring?”

n“Yes, because the class’s content was too simple,” Fu Chen said self-justifiably.

nDuan Linbai was furious. “He skipped class, yet he was still first in the entire grade for the end of semester exams. But I was f*cking third worst in the entire grade. I was almost beaten to death by my dad when I went home.”

n“Haha…” Song Fengwan laughed.

n“Do you know what my dad said?” Duan Linbai coughed twice and deliberately lowered his voice to imitate his father. “Little Bai, if you don’t have Fu Chen’s brain, don’t fool around with him. I f*cking…

n“Is he really my biological father? Tell me.”

nSong Fengwan smiled and looked at Fu Chen. “I envy those with good brains.”

nFu Chen narrowed his eyes at her. What’s there to envy?

nNo matter how good I am, all of me is yours too.
