Song Fengwan was doing an English mock exam when her gaze swept across the things on the table. Her head started aching.
They were the New Yearâs gifts from Yan Wangchuan.

â¦
Song Fengwan took a deep breath. There were all kinds of subjects. He had bought almost everything. He said that giving New Yearâs money wasnât as practical as thisâthat was too tacky. They should have arrived before the new year, but he said that the courier service had stopped, so they had only been delivered recently.
She really wanted to say, âI only want money. Iâm just a tacky person.â
Usually, she wouldnât even be able to finish all the exam papers issued by the school, yet he still gave her exam papers. She probably wouldnât even be able to finish them by the college entrance examination.
He was really too concerned about her studies. He gave her a stack of exams papers, which was really practical. No, he even gave her two large boxes of gel pens. What a headache.
Her phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Fu Chen.
[Come downstairs. Iâm at your door.]
Song Fengwanâs pupils constricted slightly. [Youâre not lying to me, are you?]
Suddenly, two car horns sounded from outside. [Did you hear it?]
Song Fengwan put on her coat and walked out quietly. The surroundings were too quiet, so it was inevitable that she would make some noise.
The moment she opened the door, the cold wind attacked, making her shiver. Before her eyes could adjust to the darkness outside, Fu Chen had already reached out and pulled her into his embrace. The door closed.
At this moment, Qiao Aiyun was woken up. But she brushed it to the back of her mind because of Yan Wangchuanâs words and fell asleep again.
In any case, she would never have thought that Song Fengwan had gone out. In her heart, Song Fengwan was very well-behaved. She had truly never even dreamed that Song Fengwan would be dating at a young age. Moreover, she sneaked out in the middle of the night. She wouldnât even dare to think about this.
Yan Wangchuan was so angry that his face was ashen.?Heâs here for a rendezvous again.
One time, two times, this brat just wonât stopâ¦
And he gets me to cover for them every time. When the truth comes out in the futureâ¦
He looked down at the person in his arms and sighed silently.
He hoped Song Fengwan would score well in the college entrance examination. Otherwise, if this matter was exposed, Fu Chen would be the culprit, and he, as his âallyâ, would suffer as well.

Fu Chen pulled Song Fengwan into the car and handed her a cup of hot bubble tea. âWarm your hands.â
âOkay.â It had been more than ten days since they had last seen each other. Song Fengwanâs heart felt as though there was soft grass brushing it. It melted into a mess.
âDo you want to go out for a late-night snack? Iâll send you back quickly.â Fu Chen naturally wanted to spend more time with her.
âNo, I still have to do my homework.â
Fu Chenâs lips twitched.?Iâm not as important as homework?
âWhy are you here? You didnât tell me in advance either.â
âIf I told you in advance, would you be free to meet me?â Fu Chen tilted his head and looked at her.
âI have the joint exam next week, so Iâm quite busy. After the exam, I might have half a day off.â Song Fengwan chewed on a piece of coconut jelly with a satisfied expression.
Fu Chen frowned.?Itâs Valentineâs Day next week, and thereâs still an exam?
This school is really inhumane.
âHow did you settle this matter this time? It wonât cause Secondâ¦â Before Song Fengwan could say the word âuncleâ, a certain someone glared at her. âSecond Brother Fuâthis should do, right? â
âYes.â Fu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
It would take time to get used to his identity and how she addressed him. She really couldnât make the change at the moment. She kept feeling like she was taking advantage of an elder.
âWill it cause him any trouble?â Song Fengwan was worried that he would get into trouble because of this. Then, she would really feel very apologetic.
âNo, it wonât. He can handle it.â
âThank you.â Song Fengwan bit the straw. She kept feeling that she could do too little for Fu Chen but kept troubling him.
âYou want to thank me?â Fu Chen chuckled.
âMhm.â
A certain someone pointed at his face.
Song Fengwan held the cup of bubble tea without making a sound.?Heâs really pushing his luckâ¦
Not far away, two people were standing under the street lights. Shi Fang reached out his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, which was red from the cold wind.
âF*ck, how long are these two going to kiss? Theyâve been kissing from inside the car to outside. Why arenât they leaving yet?
âThe two of them are being intimate, yet weâre suffering from the icy wind outside?
âAchooâOld Jiang, did you watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Yearâs Eve? I invited someone out to play cards and lost more than a thousand yuan. Iâm so angryâ¦â
Qian Jiang was speechless.?On New Yearâs Eveâ¦
I was setting off fireworks outside.

Song Fengwan separated from Fu Chen and was about to enter the house when she casually felt her pocket and was stunned.
âWhatâs wrong?â Fu Chen asked.
âI forgot to bring my key. Itâs on the shoe cabinet in the entryway. You dragged me out too quickly just now. Iâ¦â Song Fengwan became a little anxious. âWhat should I do? I canât go back now.â
Fu Chen took out his phone from his pocket and made a callâ¦
In just a minute or so, the door opened.
Yan Wangchuan looked at the two people outside the door with a cold expression.
âUncle Yanâ¦â Song Fengwan was so embarrassed that she was too ashamed to show her face. Her face instantly flushed red, and her ears were burning hot. She was too flustered to dare to look straight at Yan Wangchuan.
âEnter quickly. Itâs cold outside.â Fu Chen rubbed her hair.
Her heart pounding in fright, Song Fengwan ran past Yan Wangchuan as if she was fleeing and dashed upstairs in a panic.
Yan Wangchuan looked at the person outside the door with a frown.
âMr. Yan, Iâm truly sorry to disturb you so late at night. Wanwan didnât bring her key, so I had no choiceâ¦â
Before Fu Chen could finish speakingâ¦
Bang!?The door shut. Fu Chen reached out and touched his nose.?Heâs truly hot-tempered.
But Fu Chen didnât take his rejection at the door to heart. Anyway, seeing Song Fengwan today made him feel at ease at the bottom of his heart.
However, Yan Wangchuan was extremely depressed.
Iâve never seen such a brazen person. The two went out secretly to enjoy an underground relationship. Not only did they get me to cover for them, but they even asked me to open the door?
How did things become like this?
That brat Fu Chenâs trap was too deep. If I had known earlier, I wouldnât have agreed to conspire with him back then and make my current situation awkward.
What kind of person does he take me for? I have really never seen someone dating under the table do it so openly.
He just couldnât understand how he had fallen to such a state. His expression became increasingly dark, even bleaker than the icy wind by several degrees.
When did my character become like this?
Itâs such a cold day, but I still had to watch out for these two little brats downstairs. How depressing!

When Fu Chen returned home, Fu Zhongli was handling some documents and had yet to sleep. He looked at the time.?Itâs only been more than two hours since he went out, yet heâs back so soon?
After Fu Chen went upstairs, he knocked on the door of the study. âSecond Brother, arenât you sleeping yet?â
âLater. Youâre back so soon?â Fu Zhongli raised an eyebrow at him.
He was a little surprised.
He must have gone out on a date. Logically speaking, he shouldnât have returned so quickly.
âSheâs busy.â
Fu Chen had no choice either. He wished he could cling to Song Fengwan all the time as well, but the objective conditions now didnât allow it. Even the bit of time they had to meet up was squeezed out of her schedule by her.
His relationship really was difficult.
Fu Zhongli raised his eyebrows as if he had seen through something. âYou rushed out in the evening but didnât get to see her. So you ran out in the middle of the night just to meet her? Third Brother, youâre really clingy.â
Fu Chenâs face darkened.
