Chapter 2
When the light was turned on, I saw the cat food that had been placed on the table overturned on the floor. Mr. Huang was sitting on the TV cabinet like a vase, looking down with an imposing demeanor at the scattered cat food.
However, as soon as this sentence was uttered, not only was Sun Wenqu taken aback, but an elderly lady passing by also quickly turned her head, slowly walking while glancing back and forth at the few individuals.
"Who is it?" Li Bowen asked upon hearing the voice from this side
"I am not convenient to go out these days," Fang Ying said, "You go find him."
"Could you say that again?" Sun Wenqu felt that his life was truly extraordinary, having been abandoned by his biological father in the mountains for three years, and on the first day back, he could no longer remember the appearance of his "ex-girlfriend" who had brought him a son.
"Let me help you raise your son?" Sun Wenqu glanced at Fang Chi and couldn't help but admire the young man. Even with Fang Ying performing like this, he could still stand there with a calm expression, as if he had come along just to recognize his scoundrel of a father.
"Do you think I can let him go?" Fang Ying said, "He caused me so much suffering back then! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this today! Pregnant! Dropped out of school!"
"I will have the team leader call you tomorrow," Chen Xiang said before hanging up
Fang Chi covered his mouth for a moment, cleared his throat, and remained silent
"If I truly admit it, then I should go take an IQ test," said Sun Wenqu.
Hmm," Fang Chi responded.
Oh. Fang Chi was engrossed in eating his meal
"If you like it, then eat it," Fang Chi glanced at it and said, "Otherwise, you might as well go out and continue wandering."
"When you go back, no one will be there to take care of you. What are you going back for all alone?" Fang Ying pulled him.
Hmm. Fang Chi nodded.
Sun Wenchu did not anticipate it, and was unable to evade in time, thus they ended up staring face to face.
Fang Chi smiled but did not speak
Sun Wenqu, you really can forget the past if you want to, how carefree you are, " Fang Ying took off her sunglasses, crossed her arms, and tapped her sunglasses lightly in her hand, " Is it appropriate to discuss this matter in front of Liangzi? "
"Say whatever you want," Fang Ying scoffed, "I had already considered that you wouldn't admit it when I came here. If it weren't for the fact that I am truly in a difficult situation, I wouldn't have come to find you!"
Sun Wenqu suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. Before he could speak, Fang Ying pointed at the person behind him and said, "You throw a son at me to take care of, and you remain indifferent. Is this how one behaves as a human?"
Fang Ying is his second great-uncle's sister, which means she is the daughter of his cousin. When he went to the city for middle school, his grandfather entrusted her to take care of him, and that was when they first met
As for Fang Ying, he generally does not believe everything. It is said that since the age of 10, Fang Ying has been adept at spinning tales that are both vivid and compelling. However, there must have been some entanglement between Fang Ying and Sun Wenqu in the past
Sun Wenqu did not speak, Fang Ying walked over, stared at him for a while, and said: "Can we handle our matters first before making the call?"
Sun Wenqu opened his mouth but could not utter a word, truly dedicated!
"There is a stream tracing group on Friday, and we are short of a guide. Do you have time to lead them?" Over there is Chen Xiang, his coach.
After dining with Fang Ying, Fang Chi returned to his residence
"Are you only going to go river tracing now?" Fang Chi hesitated, "The waterfall has no water left."
"You can take your time to wander around here," Sun Wenqu said no more, turned around, and walked towards the car, "Liangzi is driving."
Sun Wenqu drove in silence for a while, then exclaimed: "It's not surprising that Fang Ying knows where I live, but how does she know I went to the mountains and when I would return?"
"I will... avoid?" said Ma Liang
Although Ma Liang's statement was quite clear and he did not stutter on the important parts, Sun Wenqu still felt that he had misheard.
Fang Chi suddenly lifted his head, but not by much
The person behind Fang Ying remained silent the entire time, not making a sound, and even their position had not shifted. If it weren't for Fang Ying's shout, Sun Wenqu would have almost forgotten about their existence
Only then did Fang Chi, who had been standing still, slowly walk over, and Sun Wenqu finally got a clear look at this person's appearance
Ma Liang glared fiercely at the old lady, and only then did she quietly mutter something before walking away
They stared at each other for a few seconds
Although the hat and headphones obscured much of his face, based on the visible parts, his healthy complexion, high nose bridge, and tightly pressed lips made him quite handsome
I tell you, this matter is not over!" Fang Ying squeezed the envelope and patted Fang Chi's shoulder, "Come on, let's let him off the hook for today, you and I are going to have a meal, it's my treat.
Starting with such a scheme that even a three-year-old child would see through, and still wanting to develop subsequent plotlines, is simply a joke. Given Sun Wenqu's character, it is not to say that the son is fake; even if he were real, he might not necessarily care.
"Are you foolish?" Fang Ying shot him a sidelong glance, "This situation is merely an excuse. We need a reason to confront him. Let me tell you, he is generous, has money at his disposal, and is afraid of trouble. Do you understand?"
Hello. He answered the phone
The woman smiled and raised her hand to applaud him, saying, "Long time no see."
Fang Ying was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, she slapped the table and exclaimed, "What do you mean by this!"
"What are you verifying! What are you appraising!" Fang Ying shouted, turning back to grab Fang Chi's arm and pulling it sharply, "He looks exactly like him!"
"Want to run?" Fang Ying raised her voice slightly, "Sun Wenqu, you played with me for two years, and now you say you want to break up just like that..."
No, Fang Chi glanced at her and said, "I hadn't started elementary school when you were in middle school, so I didn't know you then."
Before Sun Wenqu could finish speaking, he was interrupted
Today, Sun Wenqu's nonchalant demeanor was indeed quite displeasing. Fang Chi was particularly irritated by his casual remark, which seemed to suggest that he wanted to completely sever the relationship between himself and Fang Ying.
At the moment Sun Wenqu furrowed his brows and stepped back, he suddenly recalled who this woman was
Fang Ying poured him a little wine and said, "You have to help me, if I can't gather the money, it will really be troublesome."
No, "" Fang Chi pulled at his collar, "" I will go back to eat.
To speak frankly, it is impossible that there are still unresolved matters between him and Fang Ying. If there were truly anything, given Fang Ying's temperament, after all these years, it would be impossible for her to come knocking at this time.
Is that so? Alright, Sun Wenqu glanced at her, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth, then he fixed his gaze on Fang Chi's eyes, leaning in closer, almost touching with the tip of his nose, "He is my son, right? Come on, call me Dad."
It is quite surprising and somewhat shocking; this is certainly not a matter of "how many years has it been since we last met". After a separation of about ten years, there should have been some changes.
Just hesitating, Fang Chi sat opposite her and said, "I don't want to."
"It is not that I am saying this, Fang Ying," Sun Wenqu squinted his eyes slightly, "How is it that your skills in deception have made no progress over all these years?"
The acting is so on point
"Three thousand," Ma Liang said, "I just received the meal money this morning."
"Are you back?" Li Bowen's voice came through, filled with exaggerated joy. "I just guessed you might come back, but you didn't even say a word when you returned!"
"Father." Fang Chi called out at the tip of his nose, without even a moment's hesitation, not even a fleeting second of doubt.
"Forget it, it's not something you can make up for," Fang Ying sighed and smiled again, "However, with your words, I am quite touched. If you really want to help me, just force the money out of Sun Wenqu. I have come to this point not entirely because of him, but he is a catalyst."
Sun Wenqu, the woman took off her sunglasses, took two steps forward, and before Sun Wenqu could step back, her face was already close to his, "Your memory really is quite capricious."
"Don't you like to eat?" Fang Chi threw his hat and headphones onto the sofa, bent down to pick up a piece from the ground, blew on it, put it in his mouth, and chewed a few times, saying, "I think it's quite good."
The two of them glared at each other for a long time, and Ma Liang asked from the side: "Does it look like ... ... like it?"
Ma Liang did not speak
"Oh, I certainly do not think so. He is not only not foolish, but quite intelligent as well," Fang Ying sighed deeply, raising her head. "However, that does not mean he is not a scoundrel! I will elaborate on this later."
My liking for men is not exactly a secret
However, he really does not want to go; it is not that he does not want to help Fang Ying, but rather that he feels it is too foolish
Sun Wenqu glanced at him and after a moment said: "Bowen?"
Fang Ying? He rubbed his nose, as the fragrance of perfume that wafted towards him made him feel like sneezing
"I threw it to my mom," Fang Ying pulled his headphones down again, "It's normal to treat you to a meal after getting the money, besides, we still need to discuss the next steps..."
"How much did you give?" Sun Wenqu asked only after driving the car out of the community.
"Come out, let me welcome you!" said Li Bowen
"It's nothing, I'll call you tomorrow," Sun Wenqu hung up the phone and looked at Fang Ying, "Just say what you want to do, I am in a hurry to eat and don't have time to act in a movie with you."
Fang Chi was originally standing and, likely unprepared, was directly yanked, stumbling right in front of Sun Wenqu.
This is what I call a younger brother! Fang Ying gave him a thumbs up with one hand while deftly stuffing the money into her bag with the other. You saw it today; this person is nothing but trash! He still pretends not to know me!
"However, there is indeed something going on," Fang Ying said
In those years, he was still a green youth
Fang Ying did not take him too far; instead, they found a small restaurant at the back gate of the community, ordered two dishes, and also requested a bottle of wine
First, verify... verify... DNA," Ma Liang said while holding a cigarette, "paternity test... identification.
After speaking, he opened the car door and got in, starting the vehicle
"Ask ... ... ask me?" Ma Liang also clicked his tongue.
Oh," Fang Chi also smiled, "Then I will take it.
How much money do you actually need? If not, I can lend you some. Fang Chi looked at her, wanting to get money from Sun Wenqu, but he felt it was impossible
General Huang let out a disdainful meow.
Mr. Huang ignored him, got up, jumped onto the sofa, and curled himself up inside his hat
After two seconds, he turned around and took the car keys from Ma Liang's hand: "Liangzi, pay up."
Thinking of Sun Wenqu, Fang Chi furrowed his brows and suddenly recalled his words, instantly feeling a somewhat indescribable sensation. He rubbed his arms and pulled the blanket over himself.
Where to? I have to ask for leave from school on Friday, " Fang Chi looked at the calendar, Friday is tomorrow, " Are we staying overnight?
This made Sun Wenqu somewhat displeased. A fraud like her is at least an accomplice, yet she still has the audacity to look down on the victim? How can she display such a contemptuous expression?
Is it called Fang Chi
"Xunlong Valley," Chen Xiang said, "stay overnight"
After speaking, he glanced at the young man behind him, who was already as tall as he was. Son?
"Swipe, swipe the card," Ma Liang said with a smile, "Initially, I thought it was impressive to flaunt cash, really impressive."
Fang Chi did not speak
Ah! Fang Ying waved her hand, "Let’s not talk about that. Anyway, Sun Wenqu is just a scumbag. I really liked him; he was my first love! Even enemies don’t turn against each other that quickly! What a bastard."
"Damn group, it's not like we really want to play this, just taking a stroll for a bit is enough." Chen Xiang chuckled
"Have we really come to this point?" Sun Wenqu could not discern whether there were tears in Fang Ying's eyes, but he did not want to escalate an inexplicable trouble on the very first day of his return. He pointed to himself and said, "My preference for men is not exactly a secret..."
"Are you in debt from gambling?" Fang Chi asked with a furrowed brow
However, it is likely that both individuals saw disdain in each other's eyes
It is Li Bowen
When I first got close to Sun Wenqu, it truly wasn't because his family was wealthy. At that time, I was more beautiful than I am now, and my aspirations were quite high; I wouldn't have looked at an ordinary person. Halfway through my meal, Fang Ying began to reminisce with some emotion, saying, "It was really because this guy is quite talented. He excels in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; he can even play the erhu. His handwriting is particularly beautiful. Whenever our school needed someone to write something in calligraphy, we would definitely seek him out..."
Sun Wenqu's phone suddenly rang, and he did not speak, instead taking out his phone to take a look
However, he will help Fang Ying, not only because Sun Wenqu is a scoundrel who happens to eliminate harm for the people, but more so because over the past few years, despite Fang Ying's unreliability, she has treated him very well. Recently, when he was hospitalized, Fang Ying accompanied him in the hospital every day for a whole month.
Just give me some money, that's all, " Fang Ying gathered her hair and finally stated the purpose of this trip, " I don't want to talk too much with you, a one-time payment, 100,000.
By the way, he also plays the pottery... you know, like in "Ghost". Oh, how elegant and romantic, don't you think? However, his father is in this line of work.
"Sun Wenqu, has your conscience been gnawed by a dog? How old was I back then? I was only 15 years old!" Fang Ying suddenly cried out with a choked voice
"I won't go, let's talk about it another day, I have plans today." Sun Wanqu looked at Fang Ying and her "daughter".
"That's just perfect," Fang Ying's voice turned cold, "just right for eating and chatting at the same time"
"No! How about... this way," Fang Ying said while eating, "You should go to see him again in the next couple of days."
"Is it not permissible to seek you out when there is nothing wrong?" Fang Ying looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Quite cooperative, does it take the mother's surname
However, from Fang Ying's tone, he also sensed a hint of hostility from the visitor
Ma Liang took an envelope out of his pocket and threw it to Fang Ying, then got into the car as well
Aren't you going back to cook for Xiao Guo?" Fang Chi put on the headphones around his neck
"Do I still have to pay the bill for the meal later?" Sun Wenqu laughed
Under Sun Wenqu's hint, Ma Liang also recognized who this was. Compared to Sun Wenqu's shock, his astonishment was directly expressed in his speech: "Fang ... ... Fang, Fang, Fang ... ... Ah, forget it."
Then hurry up and speak, Sun Wenqu wanted to check the time, raised his hand only to remember that he hadn't brought his watch back, so he had to take out his phone to take a look, "I have something to do, I need to hurry and eat."
This child is now attending school and requires money. My job is currently unstable, and it is too difficult to support him..." Fang Ying changed her expression and said with a face full of sorrow, "I..."
Did I not tell you earlier?" Fang Ying clicked her tongue twice
"I am asking you, but I did not say it was you," Sun Wenqu said
How much? Sun Wenqu listened to the music.
Do not give me that nonsense! Fang Ying crossed her arms, her voice still loud, If you do not resolve this matter, I will make your life miserable! I have nothing left now, and I fear nothing!
This Sun Wenqu had not heard Fang Ying mention before, but has heard a lot about him in recent months. This person is a middle school classmate of Fang Ying, comes from a somewhat wealthy family, and is a playboy whose main occupation is chasing girls, ultimately abandoning the once innocent Fang Ying.
"What exactly is the matter with you?" Sun Wenqu inserted his hand into his pocket and looked at her with some impatience
What?" He looked at the woman in front of him and asked again, slightly off-key, "Sister, have you mistaken me for someone else?"
Oh dear. Ma Liang was startled and quickly looked around. At this moment, there were not many people, but soon it would be time for work and school to end.
Fang Ying adjusted her sunglasses and looked at Sun Wenqu, saying, "I heard that you would be back in a few days. Knowing your temperament, I figured you wouldn't wait even an extra second, and it turns out I was right."
No, Fang Chi frowned and said, "You say this kind of scam has already been exposed on the spot... Can we not throw away all our intelligence? He is a scumbag, not an idiot"
According to Fang Ying's plan, he will likely have to urge him to go to Sun Wenqu for money tomorrow, knowing that he might end up roaring when he goes out tomorrow
"What, you don't want to admit it?" Fang Ying waved her hand behind her, "Fang Chi, come here."
Bastard! You hadn't changed your taste when you were good to me!" Fang Ying glared, and indeed there were no tears in her eyes, "So, after you started liking men, you no longer acknowledge what you did back then!"
After watching television for a while and finding it uninteresting, I was about to go to bed to play on my phone when the phone rang
"What... what is the next step?" Fang Chi looked at him, "Do you really consider him to be an idiot?"
How? Don't you believe it? Fang Ying raised an eyebrow
"You really understand me," Sun Wenqu said, "Are you looking for me for something?"
As the car drove away, Fang Ying's roar echoed: "What the hell are you doing, you beggar! Bastard! Sun Wenqu, I won't let this go with you!"
"Sounds quite impressive, the two of you must be..." Fang Chi turned his teacup, "Is it a case of drunken chaos?"
Just arrived. Sun Wenqu felt a bit displeased at the thought of the two skirts in her wardrobe
Hmm?" Fang Chi raised his head, "Is it me?"
"Arrangement? What arrangement? Just back and already arranged?" Li Bowen expressed some dissatisfaction
He saw clearly the eyes of Fang Chi, which had been obscured by the brim of his hat; the eye sockets were quite deep, and the pupils were very dark
He turned his head again and stared face to face with Fang Chi for a while: "Isn't this young man a bit too advanced in appearance?"
I will calculate an account for you, "Sun Wenqu turned his head to look at Fang Ying, "You gave birth to a son at the age of 15, so he should be 14 years old now..."
"What about your intelligence, your IQ?" Ma Liang asked
Then she took out the envelope, lowered her head to count, pinched out a few sheets, and after thinking for a moment, rolled out two more sheets.
However, even if he is quite handsome, he is not handsome enough for Sun Wenqu to be able to speak nonsense and acknowledge this son with a clear mind.
