Xu Jingcheng was still only a child in his adolescence. He couldnât help recalling the few âmoviesâ he had watched before, and his face turned even redder.
Especially when he saw that Song Fengwan didnât look too good, he was even more certain that there was something between them.
âYou should go in. Itâs time for me to leave too,â Fu Chen said in an intimate tone. Their actions looked even more intimate to others.
âOkay.â There were already many students coming. Fu Chen was too eye-catching standing here, and even she was receiving the attention of others.
As soon as Song Fengwan left, Xu Jingcheng realized that he didnât even manage to give her the breakfast and walked to school in disappointment.
He went in the same direction as Fu Chen.
âErmâ¦â Xu Jingcheng gripped the breakfast bag tightly. âWho are you to her?â
âWhat do you think?â Fu Chen didnât answer him directly.
âYou two live together?â
âMy parents arranged it.â Again, he didnât answer his question directly.
Parentsâ orders? Have they already met each otherâs parents?
Xu Jingcheng knew that Song Fengwan came from a good family, and it was common for children who came from these families to have arranged marriages.
âDo you like her?â Xu Jingchengâs voice was trembling. He knew it was rude to ask, but he couldnât help it.
âYes.â
Xu Jingcheng had been secretly sizing Fu Chen up from the corner of his eye. Fu Chen looked around 24 or 25 years old, not much older than them. Even though he was only wearing loungewear and a windbreaker, his aura was something that Xu Jingcheng had never seen before.
I canât compare to such a person.?âIâve reached school. I need to go to class now. Goodbye,â Xu Jingcheng said politely. The cold wind was blowing, and his heart felt desolate.
The corners of Fu Chenâs lips curled up.?Kids really are easy to deal with.
Qian Jiang had to watch over Song Fengwan. So when Shi Fang saw Xu Jingcheng leave, he appeared behind Fu Chen and silently mourned for Xu Jingcheng from the bottom of his heart.
Meeting Third Master, heâs really unlucky.
âHere.â Fu Chen suddenly handed the leash to Shi Fang. âHold it.â
Shi Fang took the leash in a daze.
Fu Xinhan squatted on the ground and lifted his leg to scratch his body, looking aggrieved�Throwing me away after making use of me, what a heartless person.
âIâll give you more meat when we get home today.â
A certain dog immediately jumped up from the ground and chased after Fu Chen, causing Shi Fang to almost lose his grip.
Did this dog starve to death in his previous life? His eyes f*cking sparkles with green light when he hears about food.

Inside the atelierâ¦
As soon as class started, Gao Xue checked the sketching homework she assigned a few days ago. Song Fengwan naturally handed in her sketch of Duan Linbai.
âThe assignment was to sketch a person in your life. Thisâ¦â Gao Xue tilted her head and looked at the sketch. Duan Linbai was the âNationâs Husbandâ. As long as someone liked to go online, they would definitely know him, and she was no exception.
âYes, this is my brother.â Song Fengwan naturally wouldnât explain much to her.
Gao Xue gave a muffled laugh. âThe sketch isnât bad.â
Then she went to check the othersâ sketches. With the teacher checking their homework, everyone was very nervous. So naturally, they had no time to care about other peopleâs homework and thus didnât know who Song Fengwan drew.
As Gao Xue looked at other peopleâs homework, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.?Everyone knows that Duan Linbai is an only child, so how could he possibly have a sister? There has to be a limit to lying. I asked her to draw a person in her life, but she used this to trick me and even said that sheâs his sister.
Sheâs young but quite vain.
But she could tell that Song Fengwan had a good family background. As an ordinary teacher, she naturally didnât want to offend her. Plus, the course was nearing its end, so she turned a blind eye to it.
After checking all the studentsâ homework, she turned around and saw Song Fengwan drawing something in her sketchbook. She walked over to take a look. From the current outline, it looked like a pendant.
âWhat are you drawing?â
âNothing.â Song Fengwanâs heart skipped a beat, and she closed her sketchbook guiltily. Even though the teacher was checking other peopleâs homework, it was still during class, so this was considered as her not paying attention during class.
âLet me take a look.â Gao Xue reached her hand out.
Song Fengwan had no choice but to hand the sketchbook to her.
Gao Xue flipped through the pages. The first few pages were drawings of a Pixiu statue, the Goddess of Mercy, and Buddha. The last few pages were drawings of things she had never seen before. She closed the sketchbook. âIâll give it to you after school. Focus on class.â
Song Fengwan saw that she held the sketchbook and went up to the podium. Her ears were burning, and she felt that she had been criticized.
After school, Gao Xue gave her the sketchbook back. The incident was over, so Song Fengwan didnât take this matter to heart.

The course was coming to an end, and the students had been taught most of what the tutoring class had to offer. All that was left was their own cultivation. The weather was cold, so many students went home at around seven in the evening.
The winter in northern China was unusually fierce. Cold air came one after another, and the temperature plummeted. The biting cold wind howled, and the dripping water turned into ice.
As a southerner, she had never experienced such cold weather before. The north wind was sharp, like a knife cutting through dough, dry and strong.
Today, she finished her school work early. It was the weekend, so she went back before the sky turned dark. She originally planned to go back and have a video call with her mother, but the moment she entered the house, she saw Duan Linbai teasing the dog with beef strips.
âLittle Sister Song, youâre back early today.â Duan Linbai threw the beef strips aside and smiled at her while wiping his hands. His teeth were white and shiny.
âBig Brother Duan.â This was the first time they had met since she sketched him.
âThe sketch I was a model for, did your teacher praise it?â Duan Linbai was still thinking about the sketch.
âYes.â Song Fengwan naturally had to praise him.
âOf course. With my charming facial features, itâs the beginning of thousands of girls committing crimes. You donât know how many people on the internet are clamoring to sleep with me.â
Song Fengwan coughed twice.?This person is so shameless.
âThird Master isnât home?â She bent down to change her shoes and found Fu Chenâs slippers in the shoe cabinet.
âI was going to eat hotpot with a few of my buddies and came to pick him up to go together. I didnât mention it in advance. I just came over and found out that he went on a blind date.â Song Fengwan was Fu Chenâs little wife in Fu Chenâs heart, so Duan Linbai definitely wouldnât let go of this opportunity.
I naturally have to stir up trouble.
âHe was very against it in the past and wouldnât go to any of Old Madamâs arranged dates. I donât know what happened this time, but Old Madamâs attitude was very unyielding, saying that he could just go to show his face.
âOtherwise, sheâd sever all ties with him.â
Song Fengwan hung her head, feeling extremely guilty.?It must be because I told her that Third Master is a normal man, so she became unyielding about it.
âLittle Sister, why donât I bring you to go eat hotpot? Itâd be boring for you to eat alone.â Duan Linbai smiled at her evilly.
âItâs fine. I still have to study.â
âDonât worry about it. Itâs a cold day, and having some hotpot will be comfortable. Iâll send you back before seven,â Duan Linbai said as he pushed her outside.
He directly stuffed her into his car. Song Fengwan tilted her head and looked at the car. The bright yellow car had shiny diamond-studded accessories hanging inside.
It was tackily rich and flamboyant.

Fu Chen was currently in a restaurant.
His phone vibrated a few times, and Qian Jiangâs messages came in one after another.
[Duan Linbai is holding Miss Songâs hand.]
[He forced Miss Song into his car.]
[The two of them are talking and laughing.]
â¦
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes.
After ten minutes, his phone vibrated again.
[His car has stopped.]
â¦
The next message wasâ¦
[They are diagonally behind you.]
