song fengwan was surprised that qiao zhichu suddenly wanted to go back to wusu.
âyour dad is too busy to take care of you. why should he ask you to go back?â song fengwan didnât know whether to laugh or cry. since they were in the same profession, she knew how busy the qiao family was.
if she got busy, she might not be home for half a month, or she might not have time to take care of qiao zhichu because she was afraid that his house would be broken into? let the child go back to guard the door?
âi donât know, maybe he misses me.â qiao zhichu shrugged.
he couldnât think of any reason why qiao xiyan suddenly summoned him back. he could only say that qiao xiyan missed him.
sometimes, he even felt that he might not even be worth a stone in his fatherâs eyes.
fu huan heard the discussion and ran down the stairs. she was surprised. â cousin, why are you going back? just stay for two more days! youâve only been here for a few days.â
an quan was possessed by a drama queen!
âi have no choice.â qiao zhichu chuckled. â i passed by the jing familyâs house just now and got you some crabs. iâll cook them later, so you can have them for supper. â
fu huan was stunned for a moment. she looked away guiltily and pretended that nothing had happened. she pulled her hair and said, â i canât bear to see you leave. â
âthen come to wusu on national day.â qiao zhichu laughed.
â okay, â fu huan replied with a bright smile. if she agreed now, it would be a different matter whether she would go or not later.
qiao zhichu had left suddenly, so fu qinyuan had gathered a few people for a small gathering as a way to celebrate his departure. fu huan had to do physics papers that night, so the teacher signed her up for a physics competition and didnât go with her.
deep down, she was still very clear about what she should do at this age, and she couldnât forget what she was supposed to do.
however, when his gaze fell on the white jade rabbit at the side, he thought about the crab he had just eaten and felt a sense of guilt in his heart. however, when his gaze fell on the signed photo that she had pasted on the wall, he gritted his teeth.
little cousin, donât blame me.
i donât want my first love to be trampled flat by you before she even grows up.
fu huan knew qiao zhichu too well, which was why he chose to strike first. otherwise, he would only be controlled by others. he was very smart and had already noticed the clues. he would only dig deeper later. it was too dangerous to have a time bomb buried next to him.
it wasnât that qiao zhichuâs brain wasnât working properly, but he didnât expect that the person who would set him up would be his most beloved cousin. he also didnât expect that the two of them would be on the same side.

mansion no. 9
qiao zhichu only drove back to wusu the next afternoon, so he could drink less.
âiâve been too busy recently. youâve been in beijing for so long, but you havenât come out for a gathering. i didnât expect you to leave so soon.â duan yiyan had been really busy recently.
âi know,â qiao zhichu laughed. â if iâm leaving, iâll have to trouble you to take care of chen wang. heâs a go fanatic and hasnât really stepped into society. he might not understand the ways of the world, and sometimes when his temper blows, heâll be stinky and stubborn. please bear with him. â
qiao zhichu was famous for being loyal, so it was only natural for him to hope that theyâd take care of him since his good friend was in the capital.
âi should.â duan yiyan said with a smile.
âiâll toast you.â qiao zhichu raised his glass and downed it in one go.
jing xingyao nudged fu qinyuanâs arm. â that chen wang is the genius go player who has been very popular recently? â when chen wang went to the jing residence for the shoot, jing xingyao was not at home. however, the duan corporation had been hyping up recently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
chen wang was good-looking and had a halo around him. his popularity had already surpassed some b-list celebrities.
âyes.â fu qinyuan nodded and handed her a glass of juice. â are you going back tonight? â he whispered.
he had drunk a little wine, and his breath was a little hot. when it fell on her ear, it instantly dyed her ear a light pink.
some things were like this. the first time might be difficult, but the later times, it would naturally be easy.
âare we going to have a long gathering tonight?â jing xingyao didnât answer his question directly.
â not necessarily ... â fu qinyuan raised his arm and placed it on the sofa behind her, almost wrapping her in his arms. he leaned in closer. â i just want to spend more time with you. â
jing xingyao didnât reply.
there was no one around them at all. other than the two of them, everyone else was single. a certain someone was especially showy, so no one wanted to be a third wheel and eat dog food, so they all stayed away from the two.
âi didnât know that they were going to drink a lot, so i reserved a room upstairs,â
after fu qinyuan finished speaking, jing xingyao took a sip of ice water, still feeling warm all over.
how could this room be opened for them? it was clearly someone with bad intentions ...
duan yinuo was choosing a coupleâs song and encouraged fu qinyuan and jing xingyao to sing.
âi donât really know how to do it.â jing xingyao had really been pushed up.
âitâs fine. iâll cut to your original voice and you can just sing along. itâs so boring to just sit there.â duan yinuo could handle the situation by herself. â by the way, why isnât my sister here yet? â
she was naturally talking about fu yu. as a fangirl, duan yinuo was most concerned about fu yu.
â i seem to have something to do. iâll come over later. â fu qinyuan explained.

when qiao zhichu left, he naturally had to drink a little, but ...
â huaisheng ... â yan chi frowned. â youâve drunk too much tonight. â
âi didnât drink much.â huai sheng smiled at him, her eyes drifting away, as if she was no longer focused, and she was clearly drunk.
âwhatâs wrong with you recently? is there something on your mind?â yan chi was also familiar with him, but perhaps because of the environment he grew up in and his buddhist worship, he was more rational and restrained than anyone else.
in buddhism, greed was a taboo, so even if he drank, he would do it in an appropriate amount.
âiâm fine,â she said. huaisheng chuckled. â i just feel that heâs leaving. after living together for so long, iâm a little reluctant. â
qiao zhichu sat on the side, his head full of question marks.
eh?
canât bear to leave him? brother, are you kidding me?
itâs not like weâve only known each other for a day or two. itâs normal for us to separate and get back together. youâre clearly being trapped in love and trying to pull me out to take a bullet for you.
huai sheng was usually restrained, but he suddenly drank a lot of wine and drank in a hurry, so he was drunk very quickly.
âsend him back to rest.â yan chi raised an eyebrow. â we canât let him sleep here. â the room was air-conditioned. he had fallen asleep here and was drunk, so his body was hot. if the alcohol went down, he would probably catch a cold.
fu qinyuan touched his forehead and took out a room card from his pocket. â iâve reserved a room upstairs. send him there. â
it seemed that he would have to take advantage of the room that she had booked.
âthen iâll send him over.â duan yiyan was the youngest.
âiâll go with you.â qiao zhichu stood up, took fu qinyuanâs room card, and helped him out of the room with duan yiyan.
while they were waiting for the elevator, duan yiyan sighed. â the last time he got drunk, it was when third uncle invited my brother to a banquet after he got into university. he drank a lot then. heâs not like this usually. â
âit means that this monk has something on his mind.â qiao zhichu scoffed.
duan yiyan wasnât stupid. he turned to qiao zhichu. â cousin, do you know something? â
qiao zhichu smiled without a word, all his emotions hidden in the corner of his lips.
â i donât think he has anything to worry about. heâs not greedy for money or power, and heâs living a pure life ... â duan yiyan helped huaisheng up and said in a low voice, â could it be because of people? â
âdonât tell me itâs a woman?â
huaisheng was a normal man, and it was normal for him to have some thoughts.
did the monk miss a woman?
duan yiyan was also curious about the big gossip.
qiao zhichu didnât deny it, but just as he was about to speak, the elevator arrived.
âding! ding! ding!â
the elevator doors opened slowly to reveal qiao zhichu and the others standing to the side. this was just a courtesy to leave enough space for the guests to get down first, but ...
the person inside was fu yu.
âwhat are you guys doing? has it ended?â fu yu saw a few people, but it took her some time to get here because she was far away. she thought the fight was over when she saw the three of them.
his gaze landed on huai sheng and he frowned slightly. what was going on?
â not yet. heâs drunk. weâre going to help him upstairs to rest. â duan yiyan explained.
fu yu suddenly wanted to look at qiao zhichu.
qiao zhichu took a deep breath.
as the saying goes, you canât talk behind my back. what youâre afraid of will come true.
âwe didnât force him to drink this. he drank it himself.â qiao zhichu said with a smile, as if he had explained to her. otherwise, with fu yuâs personality, she would think that they deliberately forced the monk to drink.
â sister, you ... â duan yiyan saw that the elevator doors were about to close. she was not going to come down.
fu yu pressed the button to open the door. â help him up. iâll send him up with you. â
she had been playing the role of an elder sister. as long as it was related to them, fu yu would naturally do whatever she could to help, so it seemed normal for her to say that.
before duan yiyan could think further, qiao zhichu took a deep breath.
it was not a good thing to know too much. he should hurry home.
