because of national day, the national flag was hung in the courtyard of the fu familyâs old mansion. under the street lights, the red light was scorching.
fu shinan was usually busy with work and did not have much time to rest. on national day, he even attended a few events and had not been home for a while.
âdid something good happen to you recently? he seems to be in a good mood.â
the joy of people in their honeymoon period was almost overflowing in their words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âyes, thereâs good news.â
âwhat is it?â dai yunqing looked at her.
âitâs not convenient to say now.â
âwhen did you become so bashful?â fu shinan smiled as he looked out of the window. after the weather turned cold, the wind would always come late.
â iâm worried that if i tell my father, he wonât be able to control his temper. grandpa, you have to help me when the time comes. â
fu shinan sneered. â thereâs something youâre afraid of too? â
âwill you help me?â when fu yu was single, she was happy for herself, but now it was different.
âyou need to tell me what it is first?â fu shinan was not duan linbai, who could be coaxed away with a few good words during a meal.
âdidnât you guys always say that i should find a partner?â
fu shinan and dai yunqing looked at each other, both overjoyed.
âyou know my dadâs temper, so i would like to ask you for a favor. donât make things too difficult for him.â
âwhoâs the other party?â dai yunqing asked.
âyouâll know when the time comes. i havenât told mom and dad about this yet.â
fu yuâs words were already very flattering. it was such a big deal, but her parents didnât tell them. it was out of trust that she told them first. it was inappropriate to say that she wouldnât help. besides, they only had one granddaughter, so they naturally doted on her.
âas long as the child has the right values, your father wonât make things too difficult for him.â fu shinan also held back a little when he spoke and never completely cut off his words.
âthatâs good enough.â fu yu laughed.
after dinner, fu yu naturally took on the task of washing the dishes and cleaning. when she came out of the kitchen, dai yunqing was bending over to look for something. whereâs grandpa?â
â he said that thereâs a strong wind tonight and the fence in the yard has fallen down again. he wants to fix it and heâs outside. â
fu yu frowned. it was too dark outside, and she was not afraid of knocking into something. when she went out, a gust of wind blew over, making her shiver all over. she instantly lowered her head, but she saw that fu shinan was not at the fence, but squatting in front of the wooden stool in the yard, raising his hand to clean something.
it was only when she walked in that she saw the national flag.
âit was blown away by the wind.â he brushed off the dust on it and folded it properly. â that pole is too high. i canât hang it up. iâll get someone to hang it up tomorrow. â
he entered the house with the national flag in his hands, his expression solemn.
fu yu pursed her lips and followed him into the house, but she heard someone calling her from behind. â xiaoyu, wuwu. â
the streetlights were dim, and she couldnât see the person clearly. she knew who had arrived when she heard the voice. â uncle! â
it was ning fan. he had a scandal with yu manxi before. back then, yu manxi was married to fu yu and was considered the goddaughter of the ning family, so fu yu naturally had to call him uncle.
the ning familyâs meteoric rise in recent years was very smooth. however, ning fan didnât go down the path of an official. he had been developing in the new district of the capital city all these years and had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
âwhen did you return to the capital?â fu yu was surprised and greeted him.
âi only came back this morning.â
âhow long will you be staying in the capital?â
âat least after your grandfatherâs birthday.â
âitâs good,â fu yu smiled at him. â have you had dinner? â
âyes.â
he just came out for a walk after eating.
âthatâs good.â fu yu said âokayâ again. ning fan frowned and felt that something was wrong. could it be that this girl was having ideas about him?
lack of money?
it was because ning fan felt that apart from money, there was nothing else that could make her worry.
it was only later that he found out that this girl had dug a hole for him to take his life.

it was late autumn in the capital, and the wind was strong. however, wusu city seemed to be in the middle of the futian period, and the weather was very dry.
jing xingyao took a short nap. when he walked out of the yard, he almost laughed out loud when he saw his brother.
when he left the house, he was wearing a white collared shirt, black long pants, and a gentlemanly windbreaker. now, he was wearing a tank top and a pair of flip-flops. he was lying next to qiao zhichu, watching him hold a jade in one hand and a carving knife in the other as he carved on it.
âsister.â jing muye coughed dryly.
the clothes he had brought were all very formal, and he had underestimated wu suâs heat. her clothes were sticky just by touching her body.
tang jingci said that qiao zhichuâs old clothes were still there and he didnât mind, so he found two for him. little did he know that not only did qiao zhichu look unruly, but he also used to dress in such a carefree style.
â your clothes ... â jing xingyao laughed. to be honest, this was the first time she had seen her brother dressed so well. â theyâre pretty good. â
jing muye tugged at his back and didnât say anything.
although the clothes didnât suit his taste, he had to admit that it was really comfortable!
jing xingyao turned his head and saw qiao xiyan walking over. his facial features were cold and sharp, and his eyes were as deep as the sea. just by looking at him, he knew that he was not someone to be trifled with.
after dinner at the qiao familyâs house, qiao zhichu took them out for a lake tour. the wu-su scenery at night was full of ancient charm and naturally had a different flavor. then, they went for a foot massage and had a barbeque before they went back.
here, you would feel that the days passed very slowly, comfortable and pleasant, very suitable for retirement.
âif you like it, we can come here more often in the future.â fu qinyuan looked at jing xingyao.
qiao zhichu coughed twice. â thatâs enough, you two. there are two children here. your behavior will be censored on tv. â
fu huan laughed. mosaic? was it that exaggerated?
this was a protest from the single dogs!
âletâs go?â qiao zhichu picked up the beer in front of him.
the environment of the place was comfortable and slow. it made people relax. this was not a social event, and qiao zhichu was a straightforward person. among the few of them, only fu qinyuan could drink with him. after a while, he was drunk.
they sent him back to his room and left jing xingyao to take care of him. the rest of them left.
âcousin, youâve done something bad.â fu huan was speechless.
âwhatâs wrong?â qiao zhichu was actually a little tipsy.
â my brother was planning to ... â fu huan stopped at the point. â i didnât expect to drink so much with you tonight. heâs so drunk that heâs almost unconscious. â
âhow did you know that your brother was so drunk? itâs also possible.â
âwhat?â
âdonât you see similar scenes on tv? the male lead gets drunk ...â
jing muye walked to the side and listened quietly. seeing that he wasnât saying anything, qiao zhichu tilted his head and looked at him. â why arenât you saying anything? â
âcousin, if what you said goes on tv, itâll probably be censored into âbeep beep beep beep beepâ.â
qiao zhichu frowned. this kid was not cute at all.
jing muye was actually quite protective of his brother-in-law. although his brother-in-law was always making use of him, he still felt uncomfortable seeing others bully him, so he took the opportunity to talk back to qiao zhichu.

on the other side, when jing xingyao helped fu qinyuan onto the bed, he lost his balance due to his limited strength and almost fell.
âare you alright?â
fu qinyuan shook his head, but he sighed in his heart. there was probably something.
the alcohol was coming!
his entire body felt uncomfortable, so how could he be fine?
jing xingyao had been worried that he would get drunk and act like his uncle, but fortunately, fu qinyuan was a good drinker. he sat quietly by the bed and did not talk nonsense or act like a drunkard. otherwise, she would have been annoyed to death.
she had only turned around to wring a towel, and fu qinyuan had stumbled over with her.
his pupils were a little scattered, but he didnât make a sound and just looked straight at her.
his gaze was so deep that it made people feel pressured ...
just as jing xingyao thought that something would happen tonight, a certain someone actually fell asleep!
jing xingyao heaved a long sigh of relief. this man was really ...
he actually fell asleep at this point?
she was anxious and annoyed. she slowly adjusted her breathing, tidied up her clothes, and went out to take a breath of air.
the qiao familyâs door wasnât big, but there was a whole new world inside. she didnât dare to go too far and just walked two rounds in front of the courtyard. it was still very hot here. the night breeze blew, but there was no refreshing feeling at all.
â sis-sis-sis! â jing muye had walked out as well.
âwhy arenât you sleeping?â
âi canât sleep.â considering that they were siblings and that jing muye would be afraid to live alone, tang jingci arranged for them to live close to each other.
âinsomnia?â
âitâs alright. i came out to talk to you.â
âwhat?â
âactually, the renovation of their house isnât as good as we thought. donât you think that you can actually hear the sounds outside very clearly?â jing muye said innocently.
â......â
