Chapter Eight, unparalleled in the world, the beauty of the young man stands alone
Fu Yucheng paused for a moment, "Alright."
The table was in disarray with cups and plates scattered about, and the wine bottles tilted. Seeing that everyone was already showing signs of intoxication, Fu Yucheng instructed Jiang Chen to organize everyone to return to the dormitory early.
Liang Fu said: "That is not necessarily the case. With guests at home, I almost couldn't make it out today"
The atmosphere during today's meal was unusually strange, and Fang Qingqu was still the same Fang Qingqu. However, the four adults suddenly began to engage in a game of charades, speaking in vague and cryptic phrases that were difficult to understand. She could not stay any longer and ordered Fang Qingqu to take her away. Since Fang Qingqu had to return to the office for duty, she headed straight to the school.
Liang Fu had bought cigarettes, lit one at the entrance of the convenience store, and was preparing to head back when she caught sight of a familiar figure across the street
Fu Yucheng remained silent for a long time, "... ... You are right. But sometimes, I cannot always act rationally." As he spoke, he gazed deeply at Liang Fu, who, however, was looking ahead and did not notice.
Most restaurants have already closed at this time, and with so many people, the best place to go is naturally the barbecue stall
Liang Fushuang tucked her hands into the pockets of her windbreaker, kicking the sycamore leaves on the road as she walked, "Fu Yucheng, I didn't expect you to be... sometimes quite humane."
"Teacher Liang, do you have a boyfriend?" It was unclear which member of the faculty finally mustered the courage to voice the sentiments of all the male friends present, and Jiang Chen wished he could kneel down on the spot and call him "Dad"
Upon mentioning Liang Fuxin, she couldn't help but stop and observe, worried that Ding Shiwei might have gotten into some trouble
Fu Yucheng let out a laugh
Liang Fu has long been insulated from high-calorie and unhealthy foods like barbecue. When she was younger, she could rely on her vigorous metabolism to indulge in junk food with Fang Qingqu. Now, as the leading actress in the dance troupe, she must weigh herself every day and cannot afford a moment of indulgence
With several large platters of barbecue, she only nibbled on two bites of vegetables and then set down her chopsticks. Fu Yucheng also did not eat much; the two of them sat together, watching Jiang Chen create an extremely lively atmosphere, embodying the spirit of hospitality.
Ding Cheng, be quiet!
Liang Fuxiao said: "I have no concept of you at all."
At the school gate, Fu Yucheng did not enter but accompanied Liang Fu to the parking lot
It is nothing, not much at all. You are all students, it is only right for me to cover the bill
Just now, she intended to take the opportunity to completely extinguish Jiang Chen's hopes again, but Fu Yucheng turned the situation around. What is he after? Is it that he cannot bear to see Jiang Chen in such pain? Is Fu Yucheng really such a soft-hearted person?
The dance you are directing has not yet begun
Liang Fu, however, smiled and insisted on not accepting it
As the wine flowed, everyone began to chat, emboldened by the drink, and asked Liang Fu some questions that piqued everyone's curiosity, such as whether the dance troupe earned a lot and if she had met any prominent figures. Liang Fu answered each question, and as the conversation progressed, it inevitably delved into her private life.
After bidding farewell in the parking lot, Fu Yucheng returned to the dormitory
Ding Shiwei was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she took off her backpack and threw it at the man...
She had thought that Fu Yucheng would not come, and if he did, he would have left long ago. To her surprise, as soon as she entered, she saw him sitting alone in the darkness. She quietly crept to the seat behind him and observed for a while, noticing that he occasionally picked up his phone to check the time. It was only when he lost patience and planned to leave that she finally spoke up
Ding Shiwei almost roared: "Don't call me Panpan!"
Jiang Chen's steps were unsteady as he was about to settle the bill, but he was pulled back by Fu Yucheng, who said, "Liang Fu has already paid."
Jiang Chen stared at Fu Yucheng for a moment, said nothing further, and turned to call everyone back to the dormitory
The man let out a cold laugh, "I see you are afraid of being caught and looked down upon by others, aren't you! Panpan ... ... "
Does Teacher Liang think I summarize well
He - the picture - book Fu Yucheng went to the balcony and lit a cigarette. After a moment, the bathroom door opened, and Jiang Chen walked out from inside
Jiang Chen thought you would not come today
Liang Fu was originally worried that Ding Shiwei might be entangled with some undesirable youth from outside the school, but to her surprise, the two not only knew each other, but their relationship also seemed quite unusual. She inadvertently overheard a few rather inappropriate arguments, which made her feel somewhat awkward
Fu Yucheng was not surprised that Jiang Chen had noticed him; he felt that it would be underestimating him if Jiang Chen had not taken notice.
Teacher Liang has a wide circle of friends, and it is inevitable that there are important social engagements that cannot be declined
The gala was unappealing, but it depended on who one watched it with. Liang Fu humorously teased the program alongside Fu Yucheng, and time flew by until the grand finale dance finally took the stage. A dozen girls dressed in pastel pink Hanfu stood on the stage, instantly eliciting a wave of applause.
Moreover, she said, even if this time is not successful, there will be next time, and the time after that. You are merely putting in futile effort
Since that day they played cards, they have not met again. They exchanged a few words on WeChat, but the conversation was not very warm. It seems that when communicating through a screen, people inevitably tend to embellish their words, carefully consider their phrasing, modulate their tone, and select their expressions.
The actors changed their clothes, and a large group of people set off towards the school gate. Not only did Jiang Chen and Liang Fu's plans for a private world fall through, but they also had to endure a great deal of trouble, sighing all the way.
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment and hurriedly took out money to return it to Liang Fu, "Senior Sister, you cannot pay for this!"
The girls also got involved, asking Liang Fu if she knew any reliable boys who could be introduced to them. This question infuriated the male students present, leading to a barrage of criticism and a heated debate, creating a chaotic scene.
Liang Fu said softly, "I will settle the bill. Jiang Chen is a student, and I have put him in a difficult position, so it is inappropriate for him to pay. " She stood up, gently pressing her finger on his shoulder, "... anyway, it is not my money; it is from the last time you won."
Liang Fu kept her eyes fixed on Ding Shiwei, observing her timing and positioning... As the performance concluded, there were no mistakes. It seems that this person is the least talented yet the most diligent among all the actors, prompting Liang Fu to pay extra attention to her.
Li Wenyao is indeed playing games, possibly losing too much, and is currently cursing into the microphone. Jiang Chen is not at his seat, and the bathroom light is on
It is not that important, so let's not mention it," Liang Fu waved her hand, "Just thinking about it annoys me.
Alright, can I call you Ding Shiwei? Ding Shiwei, do you think that by hiding it from me, I wouldn't know what you're up to? I spent money to send you to school hoping you would make something of yourself, so why are you getting involved in such a ridiculous program? Who are you trying to impress by wearing those flashy clothes?
The situation is momentarily at a standstill
If it weren't for Jiang Chen shouting that Sister Liang would definitely come today, he wouldn't have to endure such prolonged auditory and visual pollution here. Realizing that she might not come, he didn't truly feel much disappointment, but when he found out that she had arrived, he finally felt a sense of anticipation.
When Liang Fu was young, she often fought with Fang Qingqu. In her perception, this person was extremely unruly, and it was only after entering the police academy that he suddenly transformed, becoming the "model child of others." He even took on the banner of authority and began to discipline her in return.
Jiang Chen stuffed money into Liang Fu's hand, almost turning red with anger. In his understanding, to say it was a treat while making the woman pay the bill was of great significance, essentially indicating that he had no chance with Liang Fu at all.
It cannot be simply summarized
Fu Yucheng cast a questioning glance.
I heard that the dance was the grand finale, which is why I arrived late. Even her excuse for being late sounded quite convincing.
After a long time, Fu Yucheng reached out to take the money, "Senior sister didn't bring any money, so she borrowed it from me. Let this meal be on me, and I will accept the money."
Liang Furou walked around to the front row and sat down beside Fu Yucheng
Fu Yucheng smiled and said, "I will borrow flowers to present to the Buddha."
Returning to his seat, Fu Yucheng leaned in and asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Ding Shiwei: "... I already said I wanted to have dinner with friends, so I told you to leave first. Why are you waiting for me? I told you not to come to the performance, yet you insisted on coming."
The cheers erupted suddenly, deafeningly, leaving Jiang Chen bewildered. He hurriedly shouted, "I can't afford it! I can't afford it! Everyone, let's go Dutch! Let's go Dutch!" No one paid him any heed.
The group photo concluded, and people were rushing to the restroom, changing clothes, and grabbing their phones... In an instant, the backstage became chaotic again. Jiang Chen, with a clear objective, stopped Liang Fu, saying, "Senior sister, let's go out for a meal!"
Liang Fu settled the bill, and upon checking her pocket, she found that her cigarettes were all gone. The roadside supermarket did not have the kind she usually smoked, but there was a convenience store not far ahead that might have them.
The girl is wearing a white jacket, with her hair styled in a ponytail, embodying the typical attire of a schoolgirl. In contrast, the man standing opposite her is tall, with a buzz cut, and despite the cold weather, he is wearing a sleeveless vest, making his large floral tattoo particularly striking.
Thus, I lowered my head, hid behind the shadow of the tree, and quietly slipped away
After a short while, Liang Fu also prepared to leave her seat
Fu Yucheng patted the empty seat beside him and said, "Come and sit."
I am different from Jiang Chen; I know you will definitely come. The sound system roared, and in order to hear the conversation clearly without disturbing the few remaining audience members, I had to lean in closer. Coupled with the dim lighting in the audience, the plain tone of voice seemed to carry an extra hint of ambiguity.
The man let out a cold laugh, "The key is, does he even look? His gaze hasn't shifted from you all night!"
That day, Liang Fu woke up and found that it was just past three in the morning when Fu Yucheng sent her a message to report his safety, as she had instructed. The Liang family lives more than forty kilometers from the school. Upon reflection, she realized how willful she had been. Would the dormitory manager still open the door so late? If he couldn't get in, where would he find a place to stay? When she asked, he did not elaborate, only saying that it was fine
On that day, during dinner, Liang Andao, unable to withstand his wife's repeated urging, invited the Fang family to their home for a gathering. Liang Fu had an older brother, Fang Qingqu, with whom she had grown up since childhood. Fang Qingqu's father was originally a classmate of Liang Andao; later, Fang's father entered the procuratorate, while Liang Andao continued his studies and eventually remained at the university as a teacher. Fang's father married earlier than Liang Andao, and Fang Qingqu was three years older than Liang Fu. Instead of following his father's arrangement to study law, Fang Qingqu attended a police academy. After graduation, he joined the public security system, which, as the police, procuratorate, and judiciary are essentially one, can be seen as a way of indirectly inheriting his father's legacy.
Ultimately, there was no way to avoid it. Liang Fuling had a sudden inspiration and exclaimed loudly: "Classmate Jiang Chen is treating everyone to a late-night snack!"
It looks so unattractive, do we still have to look at it
Not yet.
Are you foolish?
He washed his face, water still dripping from it, his gaze fixed on Fu Yucheng, an unprecedented seriousness in his expression. "Fu Yucheng, from now on, let each rely on their own abilities and compete fairly."
At this point, the evening party was roughly coming to an end. Liang Fu and Fu Yucheng went backstage to meet with the performers. The area was chaotic, with someone organizing a group photo, and they were inexplicably pushed into the midst of the actors who had just come off stage, standing next to Jiang Chen and the student council member responsible for program coordination.
Gather closer! Smile! Look at my camera, one, two, three
"Alright," Liang Fu smiled, "I can accept this explanation"
Liang Fu does not quite understand
"Fu Yucheng, it seems that I have inadvertently discovered my talent for choreography." She turned to look at him, her expression not without pride, as if seeking his praise
At that moment, Ding Shiwei stood up while holding her phone. Noticing that Liang Fu had seen her, she smiled at Liang Fu and said softly, "Teacher Liang, I am going to take a call." After saying this, she left her seat and walked quickly towards the entrance.
Liang Fun couldn't help but tease him: "Is it Jiang Chen who thinks so, or is it you who thinks so?"
So what kind do you like
Liang Fu was determined not to reveal what she had just seen, "I went to buy a pack of cigarettes"
