[Both fish are male. They wonât be able to mate in their lifetime.]
When Song Fengwan heard Jing Hanchuanâs voice message, the corners of her lips twitched.?He gave me two little male fish? What is his brain made of?
Fu Chen explained, âHe took them out of his fish tank at home. Thereâs not a single female fish in his fish tank.â
âWhat?â
âThis person has been single for a long time. Heâs always been a littleâ¦â Fu Chen pointed at his head.
What he meant was that Jing Hanchuan wanted to fall in love, but he was a little abnormal.
Song Fengwan suddenly understood. âDoes he really want to fall in love?â
Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and didnât deny it.
Song Fengwan took the small fish box, the fish tank, and the fish food upstairs to her dorm room and brought her laptop down. Fu Chen came today mainly because she had said that the operating system that came with her laptop was uncomfortable to use and wanted to change it.
There was a computer repair place on campus in Beijing University, and there was even a team formed by computer students in charge of helping students repair their computers. Fu Chen told her, âIf you take your laptop there to install a new OS, you might have to leave it there. They might even replace the good parts in your laptop.â
Song Fengwan knew nothing about these things, and Fu Chen had scared her for a long time. He only said that the world was dangerous and he knew someone who could install the operating system.
Thus, the two made an appointment.
âWhere are we going? Is there enough time? I have to be back for my evening self-study at seven.â Song Fengwan looked at the time. She only had two classes in the afternoon, and it was already close to 4 p.m.
âOkay.â Fu Chen nodded.
Song Fengwan thought he would take her to some computer maintenance and repair place, but she didnât expect him to go straight to the Software Garden in the suburbs. Beijing University wasnât in the city center, so it only took ten minutes to drive there.
Only when they reached the 16th floor did Song Fengwan know that they were going to Fu Sinianâs place.
Fu Sinian originally thought that Fu Chen had called him for an emergency. But in the end, he only asked him to help install an operating system. It was a waste of his talent.
He swiftly turned on Song Fengwanâs laptop, and his fingers quickly jumped on the keyboardâ¦
Song Fengwan sized up his study. There were many computers set up, and from the equipment, she knew that they were professional. âDoes he work with computers?â She had never known Fu Sinianâs profession.
âYeah.â Fu Chen calmly entered his kitchen and poured a cup of warm water for himself and Song Fengwan.
Fu Sinian raised an eyebrow.?Heâs really treating me like a laborer. Heâs not even giving me a cup of water.
âIt will take some time. Wait a while.â Fu Sinian got up.
âThank you.â Song Fengwan held the paper cup and stared at the laptop without blinking.
âWait outside.â Fu Sinian called the two of them out of the study.
Song Fengwan had to go back for evening self-study before 7 p.m., but installing a new operating system would require time, so she naturally stayed at Fu Sinianâs place for dinner. But the two men in the Fu family didnât know how to cook, so they ordered hotpot delivery.
â¦
About half an hour laterâ¦
Fu Sinian was working in the study while Fu Chen and Song Fengwan were watching TV in the living room.
At this moment, the doorbell rangâ¦
âIt must be the food,â Song Fengwan said.
âOkay, go open the door. Iâll go to the bathroom.â Fu Chen went straight into the bathroom in Fu Sinianâs bedroom.
Seeing that there was no movement in Fu Sinianâs study, Song Fengwan hurriedly got up, tidied her clothes, and ran to open the door.
âHold on.â
She didnât even look through the peephole and really thought that it was the food delivery.
As soon as she opened the door, two pairs of eyes met, and they were both dumbfounded.
Yu Manxi had been studying all day. She would take her exam at the end of October, so the station had specially transferred a host from another department over. The two of them took turns hosting the program so that she could prepare for her exam at ease. She wasnât hosting today, so she came back early.
Thinking about what had happened with Fu Sinian yesterday, she felt that it was better to make things clear.
She had even specially bought some pastries and knocked on Fu Sinianâs door in panicâ¦
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, there was a pretty young lady standing inside.
She was wearing a white shirt, a short skirt, and simple white sneakers. Her face, which didnât have any makeup on, was slightly red.
It was just like peach blossoms in March, tender yet beautiful.
Especially her phoenix eyes, when they looked at her, they were obviously surprised.
Song Fengwan was definitely surprised. She was looking at someone she could only see on TV. âUm, are you here to look forâ¦â
Yu Manxiâs gaze landed on her mouth.?This is obviouslyâ¦
She gripped the convenience bag in her hand tightly. Her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and she couldnât move. As though a fishbone was stuck in her throat, she couldnât even utter a single word. Every time she came over, Fu Sinian would ask her to change her shoes. He wasnât mysophobic, but he had his own persistence.
This girl was actually walking around his condo in her own shoes.
âYouâre here to look forâ¦â Song Fengwan pointed into the condo. Ever since Fu Sinian found out about her relationship with Fu Chen, she didnât know how to address him. She hesitated for a moment. âHeâs busy. Should I call him?â
âNo need.â Yu Manxiâs mind was exploding. It felt as if someone was strangling her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She turned around and walked back with difficulty. Because she was feeling uneasy, her feet were unsteady, and her high heels broke, causing her to almost hit the wall.
âWatch out,â Song Fengwan shouted in alarm.
The next secondâ¦
A figure brushed past her and walked out of the door. He reached out to hold her arm and steady her.
Yu Manxi turned her head and looked at him stiffly. Fu Sinian was wearing loungewear and looked very casual. He was usually rigid and old-fashioned, and he had never been so casual when meeting her.
This girlâ¦
Sheâs young, beautiful, and full of vigor that Iâve never had.
âAre you coming in?â Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.
âIt doesnât seem very convenient. Iâll come another day. I have to go back and study.â Yu Manxi didnât even know that her voice was trembling, and her eyes were a little red. She reached out her hand and shook off his grip.
But Fu Sinian was very strong and refused to let go.
âYouâ¦â Yu Manxi was furious.?Your delicate guest is standing just there. Why are you holding me?
Fu Sinian didnât know much about women, let alone what she was thinking. But his intuition told him:?Sheâs in a bad mood, and I canât let her go.
Song Fengwan looked at the two of them in surprise.?Whatâs going on?
âI really need to go home.â Yu Manxi suddenly struggled to break free. Her fingers exerted so much force that the pastries in her hand fell to the floor. She pushed him with both hands, but she didnât manage to push the person in front of her away.
Fu Sinian took a deep breath and bent down. His shoulder pressed against her abdomen, and he reached out his long arm to hug her legs. Then he straightened his body and lifted her up.
âFu Sinian!â Yu Manxi was so frightened that her face was pale and she was panting heavily. She completely forgot to struggle.
Song Fengwan hurriedly moved back to let the two of them enter the condo. She even kindly picked up the pastries on the floor and closed the door before returning to the living room.
â¦
After Fu Sinian entered the living room, he put her down. The three of them stood in the living room and looked at each other. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Song Fengwan looked surprised as her eyes darted between the two of them.?No wonder when Grandma Fu told Third Brother that Little Yu was a good host, he answered with a decisive refusal. He must have known long ago.
Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Song Fengwan smiled awkwardly. âIâll get you two some water.â Then she left the battlefield.
Only the two of them were left in the living room.
âYou came and left?â Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes at her.
âIâ¦â Yu Manxi reached out to straighten her clothes.
âYou deliberately rang my doorbell and wanted to run? Are you harassing me?â
âIâm notâ¦â
âJust like last night, you woke up and left just like that?â
This woman is indeed very bad. Previously, she liked to push her luck, and now, sheâs doing it again.
Song Fengwanâs eyes widened.?This beautiful host and Fu Sinian actuallyâ¦
So powerful?
âAbout last nightâ¦â Yu Manxi looked at the kitchen.?Thereâs someone else here. How can this person mention this so openly?
âHave some water.â Song Fengwan had already poured some water.
Yu Manxiâs gaze kept landing on Song Fengwan. If Fu Sinian still didnât know what she was thinking at this moment, he would really be stupid.
âLet me introduce you.â
âI know her. Iâve seen her on TV.â Song Fengwan smiled. At a close distance, she looked even prettier than on TV. When she was hosting the show, she dressed conservatively. Normally, she dressed young and fashionable.
âOkay.â Fu Sinian nodded.
âHello.â Song Fengwan greeted her in a relaxed manner.
Yu Manxi greeted her, not understanding what Fu Sinian was doing by introducing her to the âlove rivalâ.
âThisâ¦â Fu Sinian looked at Song Fengwan with a serious expression, as though he was being put on an execution ground. He was obviously unwilling to explain their relationship. âThis is my third uncleâs girlfriend, my futureâ¦â
Fu Sinian gritted his teeth, obviously very unwilling. âFuture Little AuntâSong Fengwan.â
Yu Manxiâs mind exploded.
Little Aunt?
This girl looks younger than me. Will I have to call her Little Aunt in the future?
She was thunderstruck.
Fu Sinian then said to Song Fengwan, âThis is Yu Manxi, my neighbor and girlfriend.â
Yu Manxi was dumbfounded.?What did he just sayâ¦
Girl-girlfriend?
When did we get together? How come I, the person involved, donât know?
