At noon, the two elders of the Fu family and Qiao Wangbei woke up. In the afternoon, Song Fengwan took her luggage and moved to Yunjin Prime Manor.
Qiao Wangbei stayed in a room on the second floor of Fu Chenâs house for two days, and he accompanied Song Fengwan to finish the first round of on-campus examinations before leaving. He treated Fu Chen to a few meals and gave him many gems, pearls, and jades. He was being very polite.
He didnât return to Yuncheng and instead took a train back to Suzhou.
When Qiao Xiyan went to pick him up, he complained that there were too many people in the trainâs sleeping car, so he couldnât fall asleep.
Song Fengwanâs following exam schedule was very intensive. The exams came one after another and were all squeezed into the period before Lunar New Year. The high intensity exams every day were nearly unbearable.
Fu Chen didnât go to the company during this time. He practically accompanied her throughout the entire exam period outside the venues and drove her to and from for all of them.
It wasnât until the examination of the Central Academy of Fine Arts ended did Song Fengwan finally have time to breathe.
It was the best art school in the country and the dream school for all art students. There wasnât a single art school that didnât arrange their exam around it. Many students had to rush about to take exams, and most of them wanted to enroll in the Central Academy of Fine Arts. So if the exams of the other art schools were arranged close to the Central Academy of Fine Artsâs, it was likely that very few people would apply to these schools.
Therefore, after Song Fengwan finished the exam of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, she had four days of free time.
Fu Chen said that he would bring her out to relax the next day, but he only told her on the night itself that he would introduce a friend to her, making Song Fengwan very nervous.
âItâs just going to be Linbai, Sinian, and another friend,â Fu Chen said casually.

In a certain clubhouse in Beijingâ¦
Fu Chen and Song Fengwan arrived early. When they arrived, the others were not here yet. At the back mountain of the clubhouse, there was a golf course, as well as a broad horse farm. The grassland had become a snowfield, and when you looked at it, it was white, empty, and vast.
âItâs really beautiful here.â Song Fengwan took a few photos with her phone.
âDo you want to ride a horse? Thereâs still some until they arrive,â Fu Chen said.
Song Fengwan had never ridden a horse before and had only seen the valiant and heroic figure of others riding galloping horses on TV, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
About ten minutes later, the staff brought two tall horses over. Their mane fluttered in the cold wind, displaying an indescribable charming beauty.
Fu Chen helped her onto the horse and guided her step by step. Song Fengwan was a little nervous and only dared to ride slowly at first.
When Fu Chen mounted his horse, his movements were elegant as he clamped his legs around the horseâs belly. The horse galloped through the wind as he rode it, making Song Fengwan envious.
She didnât dare to ride too fast and was almost just turning around on the spot. When Fu Chen came back after a round of riding, her eyes were full of envy.
âDo you want to try? Iâll do it with you,â Fu Chen asked.
When Song Fengwan nodded, Fu Chen had already jumped off his horse. He stepped on the stirrups of Song Fengwanâs horse and mounted it, scaring her so much that she tightened her grip on the reins and didnât dare to move.
Through the cotton jacket, he closed in from behind and gently hugged her tightly. His fingers covered hers and held the reins. With a shout, his legs exerted force, and the horse instantly gallopedâ¦
Song Fengwan leaned back due to inertia and bumped against Fu Chenâs body. It hurt a little.
âCome closer. Donât be afraid. Iâm here,â Fu Chen whispered into her ear. The wind was slightly cold, but the blood in her heart was constantly surging, and the blood in her entire body seemed to be boilingâ¦
The two of them clasped their hands tightly on the reins, and their breathing was synchronized.
The place was enormous, and it seemed as though they were only the ones here.
After running to a spacious and empty area, the horse stopped and started walking around casually.
Song Fengwan was panting heavily, excited and unable to calm down for a long time.
Fu Chen hugged her tightly and asked softly, âDo you like it here?â
âYes, itâs very beautiful.â Song Fengwan reached for her phone, wanting to take a photo for remembrance.
She opened the camera app and aimed the camera at herself. Before she could press the button, Fu Chen suddenly pinched her chin with his fingers. Exerting a little force, he moved her head to the side, lowered his head, and kissed herâ¦
âIt is worth remembering.â
Song Fengwan had inhaled too much cold air just now, so her mouth was cold. But his lips were gentle and scorching, setting a fire in her chest, and her entire body was burningâ¦
Her lipsâ¦
⦠are soft and sweet. They drive me crazy.
Not far away, Shi Fang was holding a pair of binoculars and looking at them. âF*ck, Third Master brought Miss Song so far just to take advantage of her, didnât he? Heâs a beast!â

On the other sideâ¦
Fu Sinian rushed over after yet another blind date. Along the way, he went to the Duan residence to pick up Duan Linbai. Duan Linbaiâs situation of not being able to see couldnât be revealed, so he had wrapped himself up so tightly in his clothes that basically no one would be able to recognize him.
When they got out of the car and entered the clubhouse, they specially went in through the back door in order to avoid the crowd.
Passing by the golf course and through the swimming pool, shooting range, and cafe, they arrived at the inner area of the clubhouse.
âBig Nephew, I really canât walk anymore. Can you carry me on your back for a while?â Duan Linbai held the blind cane in one hand and held Fu Sinianâs arm with the other.
Fu Sinian looked down at his wrinkled sleeve and furrowed his brows slightly. âThereâs a swimming pool by the side. Do you want to go down and drink some water?â
âDid the blind date not go well today?â
Fu Sinian grabbed Duan Linbaiâs arm and pulled him while walking to the side, scaring Duan Linbai so much that he almost fell to the ground. âFu Sinian, I was just joking. Donât be like this. Iâm handicapped. You canât treat me like this. Fu Sinian, I was wrong. Let go of meâ¦â
The difference between him and Duan Linbai wasnât just a few centimeters in height but also a body of muscles. Duan Linbai was no match for Fu Sinian, and he thought that Fu Sinian was really going to throw him into the pool to drink water.
Fu Sinian let go of his arm. âI wonât let you off next time.â
âDespicable.â Duan Linbai heaved a sigh of relief. âWhy do I feel like youâre especially angry today? Is your work not going smoothly?â
âNo.â Fu Sinian supported him as they walked forward.
When he passed by the cafe, he stopped in his tracks, and Duan Linbai could only stop along with him.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âSun Zhen and Sun Rui.â Fu Sinianâs tone was still indifferent.
âOh~ Those two.â Duan Linbai chuckled lightly.
Sun Rui was Sun Qionghuaâs niece, and she was an only child. Sun Zhen was a distant relative of the Sun family who lived with them, and they raised him as half their son.
The Sun family members doted on their children too much. Sun Rui was arrogant and willful, while Fu Yuxiu was weak and had no opinions of his own. They had never been close to them.
Duan Linbai grabbed Fu Sinianâs arm and said softly, âSay, Sun Rui isnât here to look for your uncle, is she?â
There were many people who had designs on Fu Chen, and the most fanatical one was Cheng Lan. Sun Rui was restrained by Sun Qionghua, so she didnât dare to be rash. But because of this, she and Cheng Lan had always been at odds, and they had even almost fought once.
Everyone knew the various reasons. It was just that the two of them didnât cause a big ruckus. At most, they would compare themselves and mock each other.
This route was the only way to get to the private room. Fu Sinian supported Duan Linbai as they walked forward.
They heard the pair of siblings talking and laughing from afar.
â⦠He didnât even want you when you sent yourself to his door. Say, do you think Fu Chen canât do it?â Sun Zhen had a square face, looking simple and honest, but his words were unrestrained.
How dare he spout such nonsense.?Sun Rui harrumphed coldly. âNonsense! Iâll kill you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI just donât understand. He hasnât gotten close to women for so many years. Doesnât he have any physical needs? Heâs not really going to be a monk, is he?â
âNoâ¦â
âHe hangs out with Duan Linbai every day. Maybe they really have something going on. That Young Master Duan looks so gay.â
â¦
Duan Linbai originally just wanted to hear some gossip, but he hadnât expected the gossip to actually be about him.
Looks so gay?
This bastard must be blind.
He took a deep breath and was about to rush toward them when Fu Sinian grabbed him.
âDonât stop me.â
âYouâre going the wrong way. Thatâs the wall.â
Duan Linbai exploded with anger.
â⦠Iâm serious. Many people in the Beijing circle say that theyâve already slept together long ago. The people Third Master Fu usually interacts with are either Duan Linbai or that one from the Jing family. That person looks even more feminine than Duan Linbai. I think Fu Chenâs sexual orientation is completely abnormal. Otherwise, how could he have remained indifferent when you were practically naked?â
âLower your damn voice.â Sun Rui reached out her hand to cover his mouth. âMy dad asked me to come here to apologize and invite Third Master Fu back for dinner. Donât mention this matter again.â
This brainless idiot, he keeps saying everything out loud.
â¦
At this moment, the staff at the shooting range was packing up the equipment. Other than shooting guns, there were also bows and arrows. The staff was preparing to put these things in the warehouse.
When the staff passed by Fu Sinian, he stopped the staff.
âSir? If you want to shoot, you have to go to the other side to register and receive the equipment.â The clubhouse had a membership system, and the people who came here were either rich or noble, so the equipment was all free for use.
Fu Sinian reached out his hands and took a longbow and an arrow from the staffâs hand. He nocked an arrowâ¦
His movements were quick, barely spending any time aiming.
The bowstring was taut, and when he loosened his fingersâ¦
Duan Linbai heard the sound of something breaking through the windâ¦
⦠piercing through the air with a sharp screeching sound.
The next secondâ¦
Screams sounded everywhere.
