Chapter Seven, unparalleled in the world, the beauty stands alone (07)

You have been making excuses when I called you out for a meal, but now you remember me when you are in trouble

Shao Lei agreed somewhat perfunctorily, "However, Old Fu, Ding Shiwei may not be as simple as she appears. Do you remember what she was like during her undergraduate years?"

At eight o'clock sharp, with no one arriving, Jiang Chen concluded that he had most likely been stood up. He sighed, feeling helpless, and devoted himself entirely to the backstage work.

She rested her hand on his shoulder, leaning in closer, her warm breath brushing against his ear: "Fu Yucheng, are you waiting for me?"

Not far from the city center, I did not know that the nights in Chongcheng could be so quiet

Fu Yucheng got into the car, and Shao Lei cursed and complained for quite a while before finally settling down

Fu Yucheng glanced at the time, raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home." By this time, the dormitory had already closed its doors, and returning would inevitably wake the dormitory supervisor, leading to a scolding.

Jiang Chen was bustling about on and off the stage, first checking to ensure that the program schedule was correct, and then looking to see if Liang Fu had arrived—he had made plans with Liang Fu to take her out for dinner after the performance tonight

Liang Fu let out a soft "tch", seemingly feeling that he was lacking in energy, "With Senior Sister Liang around, how could you possibly end up sleeping on the streets?"

Li Wenyao was taken aback for a moment, stuffed the documents into his bag, and walked away. He was pained by his misjudgment of character, realizing that Fu Yucheng was actually of the same ilk as Jiang Chen

Liang Fu raised this question without expecting an answer, "Fu Yucheng, has anyone ever told you that you can be quite annoying at times?"

What can I have with her

Interacting with Fu Yucheng is akin to mining; to uncover gold and gems, a miner must possess ample patience.

Shao Lei noticed that he seemed truly exhausted, and finally showed mercy by falling silent. The car swayed back and forth as the two of them dozed off in succession. Upon arriving at the University of Political Science and Law, Shao Lei got out of the car first, and did not forget to remind Fu Yucheng to remember this favor.

Fu Yucheng candidly admitted: "Curiosity is normal"

The young lady from the Liang family evidently lacks sufficient life experience and does not understand how difficult it is to hail a taxi in the suburbs. Otherwise, she would not have asked him to travel such a long distance to take her home without providing any follow-up solution.

Liang Fu let out a laugh, not sitting up straight, but half-leaning on the table to look at him, "I didn't even know you smoked"

What do you want to know

Two individuals descended the stairs and encountered Zhou Tan, who was lingering at the entrance while smoking. In the deep night of mid-October, the wind had begun to turn chilly. She was only wearing a thin shirt, and several cigarette butts lay scattered beneath her feet. Even someone as glamorous as Zhou Tan has moments in private that are far from glamorous.

Fu Yucheng sat in the corner of the seventh row, near the door

Shao Lei and Fu Yucheng are both natives of Chongcheng. They are classmates at Jiangcheng University but live in different dormitories. However, since they come from the same place, Shao Lei always invites Fu Yucheng to go out and have fun.

Nor is one afraid of burning one's fingers with smoke

Send the girl? How unusual, after four years with you as classmates, I have never seen you care for anyone like this.

As the car arrived at the entrance of the villa area, Fu Yucheng stopped the vehicle and said to Liang Fu, "You can drive in by yourself."

Fu Yucheng finally understood why he felt a headache every time he saw Jiang Chen, because he realized that Jiang Chen and Shao Lei were practically the same, the only difference being the thickness of their skin and the even thicker skin.

In Shao Lei's view, Fu Yucheng is not the type to cause a commotion, and the friends he often associates with are not of the same ilk. However, whenever there is an important matter, he habitually seeks out Fu Yucheng at the first opportunity. Fu Yucheng possesses a trustworthy demeanor, and the facts have proven that he is extremely reliable in his dealings. He does not make promises lightly, and whenever he does, he ensures that he fulfills them.

Aren't you watching?

Fu Yucheng withdrew his gaze, "I wasn't looking at anything."

Ah

The graduate student welcome party was not as grand as that of the undergraduates, and the large auditorium was not filled to capacity, with far fewer attendees than expected. After four years of relentless challenges, the seasoned students no longer exhibit the same surge of hormones as the newly enrolled undergraduates.

Li Wenyao was packing his backpack while asking Fu Yucheng beside him, "Old Fu, are you joining me for a game? The welcome party is so boring, you probably won't go, right?"

I have heard that our feet from practicing ballet are quite ugly, right

It is also acceptable to rest here, as there are guest rooms

There are many things you do not know

Fu Yucheng, however, did not engage with this topic, directly turned off the engine, reached out to open the car door, and jumped down from the driver's seat. Liang Fu followed him out of the car, went around to the driver's side, and thanked Fu Yucheng.

Fu Yucheng held a cigarette in his mouth, looking up at the sky. The stars were still barely visible, but the moon was indeed quite bright, a crescent shape hanging on a tree branch like a hook.

I thought it was quite straightforward

Do not get involved in this matter any further

Shao Lei laughed in anger, cursed, and then asked: "Which girl is it? Is there a residential area nearby? I remember there being only a high-end villa..." Suddenly, Shao Lei fell silent, took a deep breath, and said, "Old Fu, which wealthy young lady have you gotten close to?"

Shao Lei was astonished, "No way, Old Fu, the girl chased from Jiangcheng to Chongcheng, don't you understand why?"

Fu Yucheng let out a sound of annoyance, saying, "Can you keep it down for a moment? I have a headache"

Liang Fu teased: "Are you afraid of being caught by Old Liang?"

Are you pretending to be asleep

Most of them realized that they could not gain the advantages they desired from me

Is that so? What occasions are they?

Most of the programs are poorly made, exuding an awkward sense of self-indulgence. Fu Yucheng could no longer tolerate the noise from a rap show and ultimately decided to let himself off the hook

Liang Futou leaned back against the chair, deep in thought. If one were to say they wanted to know something about Fu Yucheng, there would be too much to consider. The few labels he presents are merely superficial: good-looking, high-achieving, seemingly easygoing yet actually hard to approach, and that is all. So thinly sketched that he is even less substantial than a supporting character written by a third-rate screenwriter

Good students have never stayed out overnight, they are afraid of it

Just as he was about to get up and leave, a hand suddenly pressed down on his shoulder. In the darkness, a rustling sound came from the back row, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils

What brings you to such a desolate place in the middle of the night

Fu Yucheng waved his hand, which served both as a response and a farewell

Fu Yucheng does not have a deep impression of Ding Shiweizhen, considering her to be a person with little presence. If one must say something, she is fairly attractive, possessing a look that can evoke the protective instincts of most men. Several boys in the courtyard have pursued her, but it is unknown what happened afterward

The greatest secret can only be exchanged for the greatest secret

What are you looking at

What is your biggest secret

The person who came is Shao Lei. Fu Yucheng did not intentionally seek him out; it was just that after considering various options, only Shao Lei's school is the closest to here

Send someone

In the coming days, the city will experience a drop in temperature due to the rain. Amidst the cold wave, the graduate student welcome party is finally here. The afternoon classes ended early, and as soon as Jiang Chen finished class, he disappeared, heading to the venue with fellow students from the department to set up the event.

Fu Yucheng paused in his steps, while Liang Fu suddenly fell silent, hesitating for a moment before saying: "... ... when the report of safety arrives"

Shao Lei was finally satisfied and asked, "Ding Shiwei is also at your school, right? How are things between you and her?"

Are you still holding a grudge about this with me

Fu Yucheng walked two kilometers without seeing a single vehicle; all around were only roads, and even farther roads.

Liang Fu felt quite content; the autumn night was beautiful, and it was already a sufficiently good beginning

About forty minutes later, at the end of the road, a taxi arrived with its headlights flashing. As the car approached, a person in the back seat leaned out and shouted, "Fu Yucheng, you really know how to boss people around!"

Once she got into the car, Liang Fu returned to her usual demeanor. Her emotions came quickly and left just as swiftly. She stretched lazily, kicked off her sneakers, and placed her feet on the mat of the passenger seat. Fu Yucheng, distracted, glanced down at her; she was wearing socks, and in the shadows, one could vaguely see that they had rather childish cartoon patterns.

Liang Fu stood at the door for a moment, then walked over quietly. She sat on the other side, resting her elbows on the edge of the table, leaning forward to look at him across the table

Zhou Tan was completely unconcerned, biting on a cigarette as he asked them: "Are you going back?"

As Fu Yucheng moved, he opened his eyes at that moment and fixed his gaze on her, with a hint of mischief, "What are you planning to do?"

Shao Lei was not the least bit guilty; instead, he spoke with conviction: "A young girl, who begged me repeatedly for some information, is also a classmate..."

It has nothing to do with you; can't you just listen to some gossip?

Fu Yucheng did not respond, closing his eyes to rest

The last time I was at a bar drinking, I ran into Ding Shiwei. She was with a man who looked rather unrefined, and they seemed to have a good relationship. The man was very courteous to her

Fu Yucheng let out a light laugh, while Miss Liang began to speak in a sarcastic tone, resembling a sour orange.

I have just woken up

Does this matter concern me

You can show it to me, but you must exchange it for a secret.

Liang Futing wanted to advise her not to wait any longer, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she felt it was none of her business

I have a class tomorrow morning, which is taught by Dean Zheng

On the road late at night, after a long time, they finally encountered a car. Liang Fu opened the window and leaned out to look. "Fu Yucheng, the moon is so bright."

There are quite a few

Fu Yucheng frowned, "Did you tell her about my part-time job?"

Liang Fu always felt that the evening was not yet over, so she jumped into the car, started the engine, and leaned out of the window.

Fu Yucheng sighed, "... if you want to talk, let's have a drink and chat next time"

Finally, he simply stopped in his tracks, sat down on a stone by the roadside, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to make a call

Liang Fu laughed out loud, "Are you cursing me in a roundabout way?"

"Such capability, why study law? You might as well join the National Security Bureau." Fu Yucheng pressed his fingers against his forehead, "Once there are any developments, I will inform you."

Fu Yucheng suddenly turned around and was met with a face full of smiles.

Fu Yucheng did not even raise his head and said, "Go."

If you do not speak, how can I find out?

This person appears to be resting with closed eyes, yet seems burdened with heavy thoughts, his brows furrowed. Liang Fu leaned forward, extended her arm, and just as her fingers were about to reach for the space between his brows, she hesitated for a moment, then redirected her hand to grasp the cigarette pinched between his fingers

No need, hurry back.

Liang Fu said, "Good students should go to bed early and rise early"

Fu Yucheng was walking back, his strides quick and purposeful. He was tall, and his silhouette resembled a white poplar standing tall against the wind, elegant and upright
