After teasing Jing Hanchuan, Fu Chen returned home, grabbed his things, and went straight to the Beijing University library, preparing to pick up Song Fengwan for dinner.

The sun was setting, and the cold wind started raging. Fu Chen was wearing a down jacket and a mask. Other than his tall and slightly striking figure, he looked no different from a student walking on campus.

Occasionally, he saw some male students walking past him. Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. Are boys nowadays so anxious to look good?

When Fu Chen came, he didn’t call Song Fengwan. Knowing that she hadn’t come out yet, he waited in the library lobby.

If he wanted to borrow a book or enter the self-study rooms, he had to swipe the school’s student card. He didn’t have one, so he could only wait.

Song Fengwan had just finished a set of CET4 mock exam papers. Seeing that there was still fifteen minutes until five, she prepared to correct the exam papers before contacting Fu Chen.

But it was a winter day, so she was drowsy early. Hu Xinyue was sitting beside her and already holding her phone and texting her boyfriend.

Miao Yating, sitting opposite Song Fengwan, said in a low voice, “Wanwan, if you want to wait for your third brother, Xinyue and I will go to the cafeteria first.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded.

“I’m envious. Long-distance relationships are really painful.” Hu Xinyue began packing her things.

“You’ll be able to see him soon when winter break starts.” Miao Yating smiled. University holidays were usually earlier than high school. “I haven’t been home in a long time.”

“How is that possible? My parents don’t know that I’m dating him yet. After I go home, I have to be secretive when I go out. Is it easy for me?”

“If my mom finds out that we haven’t stopped dating, she’ll definitely be furious.”

“I heard that after some time, there will be exchange students from other schools coming here. People from other schools, such as Nanjing University or Yun University… They all seem to be going to other departments, but our art school won’t have any.” Hu Xinyue was very active in school, so she was naturally well-informed.

“That has nothing to do with us. Wanwan, we’ll get going first…”

“Okay, bye.”

“If you’re not coming back tonight, call early,” Hu Xinyue teased her before leaving.

The two of them walked out of the self-study room and went downstairs. When they passed by the lobby, Hu Xinyue saw a familiar person sitting not far away.

Fu Chen also saw the two of them and stood up.

“Mr. Fu, Wanwan should be here soon. Why don’t you call her?” When Hu Xinyue saw Fu Chen, she felt inexplicably guilty.

She was the one who had exposed his relationship with Song Fengwan. Although Song Fengwan said that they were fine after she came back, when they talked on the phone, she often mentioned recuperating. Hu Xinyue felt guilty.

“No need. I’ll wait for her.” Fu Chen saw that it was about time for her to come. “This is for you. It might be a little cold.”

Fu Chen had brought Song Fengwan a cup of bubble tea when he came. Knowing that she was with her roommates, he naturally brought one each for them.

“Thank you.” Hu Xinyue coughed. “Erm, why don’t you take my card and go in to find her? Don’t wait outside. She’s on the third floor. You’ll be able to see her when you go up. Give the card to Wanwan later and let her bring it to me.”

Before Fu Chen could speak, Hu Xinyue stuffed the card into his hands and ran away. This card naturally had personal information. He glanced at the photo…

Indeed, you really can’t expect too much about ID photos. They’re so ugly.

He recalled that when he went to Song Fengwan’s high school and saw her photo on the honor roll, he concluded:

My wife is still the most beautiful.

But since he already had the card, he naturally couldn’t just sit and wait. He carried his things and swiped the card to go upstairs.

After reaching the third floor, he indeed saw Song Fengwan sitting by the window from afar.

Fu Chen looked at her in a daze. It was the time when day alternated into night, and the dim yellow light fell on her body, making her look very beautiful.

He didn’t go over directly. Instead, he found a seat and took a few photos with his phone before walking over.

It was almost dinner time, so it was normal for people to walk around. Song Fengwan felt that someone was approaching, but she didn’t pay attention to it. When the person sat beside her, she looked up…

“How did you get here?”

Fu Chen passed over Hu Xinyue’s card. “I bumped into your roommates.” He passed the cup of bubble tea to her. “It’s still hot. Have a sip first.”

“Don’t think you can bribe me with a cup of bubble tea.”

“Are you still angry about what happened before?” Fu Chen chuckled.

The young lady had been throwing a tantrum with him recently, and it was nothing more than about the change of beds at home. When Song Fengwan heard about it, she was flustered, but Fu Chen said directly, “It’s good to change. It’s inconvenient to move around lying on that bed.”

What do you mean it’s inconvenient to move around? It’s just not convenient for you to play hooligan. But she blushed and didn’t dare to go to the old Fu residence for a few days.

“Be careful what you say in the future.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” The heating in the library was high. The little girl’s face was slightly red, and even her ears were red. Just looking at her made him want to…

… take a bite.

Fu Chen did exactly this. He lowered his mask, leaned over, and pecked her ear.

Song Fengwan shrank back sensitively and turned her head to glare at him angrily.

“This is the library.” Song Fengwan looked around but didn’t dare to be too loud, so she could only berate in a whisper.

“Wanwan…” Fu Chen looked at her angry face and felt that she was cute. He tilted his head and pecked her lips. The hot breath he exhaled made her tremble.

“Fu Chen, you’re crazy. Stay away from me.” Song Fengwan was furious.

“Okay.” Fu Chen passed her another thing. There was only one fish in the small plastic bucket that Jing Hanchuan had given him.

“Why did you bring this?”

“The two fish in my house are both female. I’ll exchange one with you to pair them up. It’s said that goldfish can lay eggs and give birth to small fish all year round…”

Song Fengwan blushed. What give birth to small fish?

Fu Chen looked at her pink face and suddenly felt that his girlfriend was too cute.

“Wait for me. I’ll correct the last few questions.”

“Okay.” Fu Chen glanced at her exam papers and suddenly thought that if he was the same age as her, it would be great if they could go to school together and attend classes together.

When the two of them went out, the sky outside was already completely dark. Fu Chen helped her put on her scarf and mask and held her hand as they walked around campus. They were well-equipped in winter. Anyway, no one knew them, so the two of them were a little unrestrained.

Many girls seemed to have difficulty choosing. Song Fengwan took more than ten minutes to choose a place to eat. In the end, they ate a bowl of beef vermicelli soup at a restaurant near the school entrance.

“There’s a charity banquet in a few days. Are you going?” Song Fengwan took small bites of her noodles and looked at the person opposite her.

“You’re going?” Fu Chen had never liked to attend these events.

“People keep looking for me and want me to go. Big Sister Yu seems to want to go, so I plan to join in the fun.” Now, everyone outside knew Song Fengwan’s identity. Although it was an event in the Beijing circle, they all wanted to invite her.

“She and Sinian are going to represent our family.”

After all, Fu Sinian was the eldest grandson of the Fu family, and there were some things that he couldn’t avoid. In society, there were many relationships that couldn’t be broken.

When Yu Manxi married the Fu family in the future, she would have to interact with all kinds of people. Sooner or later, she would have to attend all kinds of social gatherings.

“Then, you’re not going?” Song Fengwan asked.

“I don’t think so.”

“That’s a pity.”

The arrival of winter meant that it was almost the new year. It was also the season for blind dates and marriage. Various events in the capital were also like blind date banquets.

“Linbai should be going. His family is the largest organizer of this event.”

At this moment, the demolition of the new district was already coming to an end. Most of the households had already signed an agreement and taken the money. They were all preparing to move into new houses before the new year. But there were some households who refused to leave.

It was already winter, and another year was about to pass. The Duan Group was also very busy, so it was impossible for Duan Linbai to stay there all the time. Moreover, some of the households felt that since he kept looking for them, it seemed as though they were grasping his weakness, and they would demand an increase in the compensation amount.

Duan Linbai also had a temper. If people crossed his bottom line, he would just leave.

There was no water or electricity in that area, and there was no heating either. If they had the ability, they could just stay there and waste everyone’s time.

Fu Chen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of beef from his bowl for Song Fengwan. He was still thinking about it. At his father’s birthday banquet, those people were already eyeing her covetously. Then, wouldn’t this charity banquet…

At the thought of Song Fengwan being surrounded by a group of strange men, a certain someone was extremely unhappy.

Should I go?

After Fu Chen sent Song Fengwan back to her dormitory, he remembered that he didn’t even have an invitation to attend the banquet. He didn’t like to participate in these events, and even though it was a banquet held by the Duan family, no one had invited him.

How awkward.

At this moment, the two of them were still unaware that many things would happen at this banquet.

Most importantly, the two of them were clearly in their honeymoon phase, and they were the only ones showing off their affection to others.. But then other people started showing off their affection to them.
