Regarding Xu Chengyang's post, it can be said that everything is self-inflicted by a certain someone.
The story takes place on January 1st, the day of Fu Wei Hang's dinner party. Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye had quite a bit to drink. After taking a taxi back to the dormitory, the two lay down on their beds, and Yao Ye suddenly brought up Yang Erjin.
Yao Ye: “Xu Chengyang, how are things with Yang Erjin?”
Xu Chengyang, holding onto his pillow, paused for a second: “What do you mean how are things? I'm still a pure and innocent single person.”
Yao Ye: “... Innocent? I didn't say anything, why are you so worked up?”
Xu Chengyang wrinkled his nose and huffed: “Your tone is full of ambiguity!”
Yao Ye: “I'm showing concern, OK?”
Xu Chengyang retorted: “Hmph, that's just gossip!”
“Get lost!” Yao Ye kicked her bed in frustration, then after a moment, she got up to lift her bed curtain, “By the way, don't you like Yang Erjin?”
Xu Chengyang was startled by her eyes shining in the dark and immediately covered his face: “Whoa, are you an owl? Your eyes are glowing!” Then he scratched his head, looking troubled, “I wouldn't say I like him; I have some good feelings. He... treats me pretty well.”
Yao Ye rolled her eyes: “Then go for it; the guy is quite handsome.”
Xu Chengyang: “Tsk, am I that shallow?”
Yao Ye coldly smiled, "You said, 'It's better to be wrong about ten than to let one go,' right?"
Xu Chengyang's mouth twitched, refusing to admit it, "… nonsense!"
"See, you can't even speak properly," Yao Ye waved his hand, resting his head back on the pillow as if it were normal. "If you're so capable, then don't date Brother Yang Erjin!"
Xu Chengyang scoffed, "Whoever dates him is your son!"
...
That night, when Su Wan returned to the dormitory, she found Xu Chengyang flattering Yao Ye by pinching his calf while pretending to speak in a high-pitched voice, "Daddy, is it comfortable?"
Yao Ye raised a can of cola from the table, took a big sip, and said, "Good son, it's extremely comfortable!"
Su Wan: "…"
"Guan Guan is back!" Yao Ye turned his head to look.
Xu Chengyang had already dashed over and thrown herself into Su Wan's arms, wailing, "Mommy Guan Guan, you finally came back! Wuwu… Yao Ye bullied me to death!"
Su Wan reached out to pat her head with a concerned tone, "Come on, tell Mommy what happened."
Xu Chengyang: "…."
Yao Ye laughed heartily.
After a moment of fun, Xu Chengyang slowly said, "Actually... I really like him, and he treats me super well. He doesn't mind that I've had so many boyfriends before; he's completely different from those jerks. If I want stinky tofu, he'll go to West Street to buy it for me. If I want wontons late at night, he'll bring them to my dorm. If I want to watch a movie, he'll buy the tickets in advance and wait for me downstairs... Although he's not as handsome or tall as Deity, and he's always sharp-tongued, Guan Guan, I'm really about to be the happiest person alive!"
Yao Ye and Su Wan: "…………"
Xu Chengyang is not bad-looking, tall, comes from a good family, and has admirers. However, her outgoing personality means she has never been subtle in relationships. In the past, she was always carefree with her boyfriends, saying whatever came to mind. Boys care about their image and tend to prefer obedient girls, so over time, they naturally lost feelings for Xu Chengyang, leading to unremarkable endings.
Thus, Xu Chengyang had never experienced the warmth that Yang Erjin gives her; he practically spoils her to the heavens.
Yao Ye wrinkled her nose: "Tsk tsk, the smell of love."
Su Wan chimed in: "Yeah, as long as you're happy. Treat him well and don't make things difficult for him."
Xu Chengyang nodded eagerly: "Mm mm mm! I will love him well, whether it's in bed or out of bed!"
Su Wan: "…"
Yao Ye: "…"
Is this how you start when you don't agree?
(O_O)
On the day before Little New Year's Eve, Yao Ye returned to her hometown in Guangzhou, and Xu Chengyang bought a ticket to fly back to Shenyang that afternoon.
As soon as Xu Chengyang left in a taxi, Fu Weiheng arrived at her dormitory building driving a Cayenne.
The team had already started their holiday, but tickets for the bus back to Yishi had been sold out for days. Su Wan could only buy a ticket for three days later. With Xu Chengyang and Yao Ye already home and the school having closed for the break, the dormitory was empty. Fu Weiheng couldn't bear the thought of her staying alone in the dormitory, so he insisted that she pack her things and come stay with him.
After packing a large suitcase, she double-checked the windows in her dormitory before locking the door and carrying her cello along with the suitcase downstairs.
Fu Weiheng had just returned from a business trip to Shanghai and seemed to have finished his recent work. It had been almost half a month since they last saw each other, and seeing him again gave her a different feeling.
He must have just gotten a haircut; his hair was cut short on the sides, with some strands falling loosely on his forehead. He looked refreshed. He wore a dark gray wool coat over a loose black turtleneck sweater, habitually hiding his lips in the collar. His well-tailored black trousers perfectly complemented his long legs. He leaned against the car door, slightly lowering his head, looking like a noble young master with an air of elegance.
Hearing some noise, Fu Weiheng looked up and saw Su Wan coming out with her cello and pushing a 28-inch suitcase. He frowned slightly, walked into the building to take her suitcase, weighed it in his hands, and said, "Why didn't you let me come up to help you?"
Su Wan smiled and adjusted the cello strap on her shoulder. "It's just one floor; I can manage."
He carried the suitcase down the stairs and opened the trunk. "As your boyfriend, nothing makes me happier than knowing you rely on me for everything."
Su Wan blushed and lowered her head. "…Yeah."
The campus after the holiday began was particularly quiet and desolate.
The sun was shining brightly as the car slowly drove out of the school gate. Su Wan lowered the window slightly, allowing the sunlight to pour into the car.
After a moment, Fu Weiheng spoke leisurely, "My parents are coming back from Italy tomorrow." He turned his head to look at her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Want to meet them?"
"…"
Is there really someone who asks like that!
Moreover…
"Isn't this a bit sudden…"
Fu Weiheng smiled. "I thought my mom mentioned it to you when she called a while ago."
Speaking of which, she had indeed remembered that phone call when she accidentally answered Mother Fu's call at his house. The other party had been quite eager to suggest having a meal together…
Su Wan felt awkward. "But I haven't prepared anything…"
Without hesitation, he replied, "For me, a son who has been single for twenty-six years, you are already the best gift for Ms. Mu."
Su Wan was left speechless by this response. What was meant to come would always come; she still had to face it bravely. After a moment, she asked, "But I don't know anything about your family…"
"My family is quite simple," he said casually while steering the wheel. "My mom used to be an actress and starred in some small films; now she has retired and is living a leisurely life abroad. My dad is a painter, easygoing and friendly, very easy to get along with. My grandfather was a chief of staff for several years when he was young; later he retired and went into business, founding Endless, until he retired a few years ago. He currently lives mainly in the United States. Although he looks stern and serious, he's actually a kind and gentle old man. My grandmother passed away shortly after I was born due to illness, so aside from photos, I don't have many memories of her… As for Wei Jin, do I need to say more?"
Su Wan quietly listened to him finish a lengthy introduction about his family, feeling astonished inside.
Wow... what an extraordinary family!
A painter father, an actress mother, a veteran grandfather, a CEO sister, and herself... a famous Violinist...
How did he casually say, "My family is simple"?
Su Wan: "…You all... are impressive."
"No." At the red light, he stopped the car, glanced at her, and smiled meaningfully. "I'll be impressive once you marry me."
Su Wan: "……………"
"So..." Fu Weiheng unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to kiss her. "When are you going to marry me?"
Su Wan: "……………………"
Is this how it goes? A proposal right after a disagreement?
A horn honked from behind, and Su Wan pushed him gently, her face flushed with embarrassment. "…The light is green."
He calmly shifted into gear and pressed the accelerator to move forward.
The car drove towards the suburbs, and Su Wan looked at the widening road, asking, "Are we going to Fu Residence?"
Fu Weiheng replied, "Yes, we'll be staying at Fu Residence for the next couple of days."
Su Wan nodded in agreement, "That's perfect; I can give Fan Fan a lesson before I head back."
Fu Weiheng pondered for a moment, "Auntie doesn't need to work too hard."
Su Wan had grown accustomed to his occasional teasing and countered playfully, "... Uncle is being polite."
Fu Weiheng was momentarily speechless.
---
Upon arriving at Fu Residence, it was already past four. Su Wan carried her violin while Fu Weiheng carried a box as they entered.
As they changed their shoes, Su Wan seemed curious about not seeing Butler Vincent for a while and asked, "Why haven't I seen Mr. Vincent?"
Fu Weiheng pulled out a pair of slippers and placed them in front of her, "He went to the United States recently to take care of Grandpa."
Su Wan responded, "... Oh."
In the living room, only Ye Fan was present, hugging a stuffed toy while watching an animated show. After placing the box and violin aside, Fu Weiheng was the first to approach, calling out, "Fan Fan."
Ye Fan snapped back to reality from the television and turned her head. "Uncle! Auntie!"
"..." Su Wan still couldn't get used to this form of address. She sat down on the sofa. "Is Fan Fan here alone?"
"Dad is in the study, Aunt Lin went back home, and Mom is cooking today." The little girl grinned widely, her clear voice particularly endearing.
Su Wan quickly got up from the sofa. "Then I'll go help in the kitchen." With that, she turned and hurried into the kitchen.
Fu Weijin, who was originally cutting meat, heard the footsteps and glanced over. "Guan Guan is here?"
Su Wan replied with a soft "Mm." "Do you need my help?"
Fu Weijin thought for a moment and pointed to the basket of Chinese broccoli in the sink. "Wash the vegetables?"
Su Wan responded, "Okay."
"Guan Guan, my parents are coming back tomorrow." After a while, Fu Weijin said with a smile, "Neil told you, right?"
Su Wan's face suddenly turned red. "…He did."
Seeing her flustered expression, Fu Weijin comforted her. "No need to be nervous; my parents really like you."
"I'm not... not nervous." Just flustered...
Fu Weijin continued to slice the meat in her hands and asked, "Has Neil proposed to you?"
"Ah?"
"It looks like he has."
"..." Not really, but it was just a casual mention.
"Did you say yes?"
"..." Can we still have a pleasant conversation?
Fu Weijin continued, "If you haven't agreed, then don't rush into it. You're still young; why get married so early? Look at me, I'm only 27 and already a mother of a five-year-old..."
She sighed deeply and then leaned closer to Su Wan, whispering, "Don't agree to him. Make him wait, drive him crazy, hahaha..."
Su Wan: "……………"
The quirky dynamic between the siblings...
After dinner, everyone watched TV in the living room for a while before heading upstairs. Su Wan was still staying in the guest room she had occupied last time, which was directly across from Fu Weiheng's bedroom.
Just a room apart, Fu Weiheng was extremely unwilling, especially since they had shared the same bed in the apartment!
Su Wan refused, "Then let's not..."
In fact, she wasn't opposed to such things happening; it was just that they were at Fu Residence, and Fu Weijin and Ye Yinhua's bedroom was only two rooms away... (Fu Weiheng sneered; he felt embarrassed to mention that those two were singing every night. Su Wan: …………)
Su Wan said, "… Besides, we haven't gotten married yet, so it's not really appropriate for us to sleep together all the time."
Fu Weiheng replied with a half-smile, "I would be more than happy to go get our marriage certificate with you tomorrow."
Su Wan responded, "………………………… I'm going to sleep."
Leaving a bedside lamp on, Su Wan crawled back under the covers and opened WeChat. There were a few new messages in the dorm group.
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: Ah, the snow in my Northeast is just so good.
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: Xu Hansan, your ID is really disgusting.
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: Hush, single dog!
Swan: …
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: Sumerian, have you missed me? [smirking]

Jinjin's Little Chengyang: …
Swan: … Meeting the parents tomorrow.
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: !!!!!!!
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: !!!!!!!
Swan: What should I prepare?
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: Wash up nicely, dress beautifully, and smile sweetly.
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: You don't need to prepare anything, just stay as you are!
Swan: ???
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: Your obedience is unmatched.
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: Just wear a dignified and elegant dress!
Swan: What use do I have for you?
Jinjin's Little Chengyang: …………
Is Yao Ye, Not Yao Ye: That's too much [tears]
After turning off her phone, Su Wan was about to reach for the light switch when she heard a rustling sound at the door. Turning her head to look, the door lock clicked, and Fu Weiheng entered casually, tossing a key in his hand. He then turned around to close the door and locked it.
Su Wan: "…………"
Someone slipped in from her right side, then raised a hand to turn off the light with a "click," leaning over to embrace her.
The room fell silent for half a minute. Su Wan raised her hand against his chest to create some distance and whispered, "Fu Weiheng!"
Mr. Fu was unfazed, lifting his leg to wrap around her waist and pulling her in for a kiss. He said, "I can't sleep without you." After speaking, he kissed her forehead gently and added, "Go to sleep; I won't touch you."
Su Wan didn't have time to react. Just as she was about to lift her head from his embrace, she heard him say softly, "If you move again, I will touch you."
He leaned closer to her ear and added in a husky voice, "Once I touch you, you won't be able to get out of bed."
Su Wan: "…………………………"
In an instant, silence enveloped them.
