Chapter 354  : Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Song Fengwan returned to her dorm room to get two sets of clothes. It was too high-profile to go to Yunjin Prime Manor at this moment, so she took Fu Chen’s car to Yishui Community.

This was where the house Old Madam Yan had bought as an investment was. It had been renovated, and no one had lived in it yet. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms. A while ago, she had hired a part-time cleaner to clean it, and it was neat and clean.

It was already evening when the two of them arrived at the community. Because the weather was hot, there was no one outside. Song Fengwan’s legs were sore, and she was half-carried by Fu Chen into the elevator.

“Should we eat out tonight?” Fu Chen lowered his head to look at her.

“Let me take a bath first.” Song Fengwan was sticky all over and wasn’t in the mood to eat.

When they reached the 18th floor, Fu Chen took out the key from her bag.

The moment the door opened, Song Fengwan was pulled in by him. Worried that the sun would damage the furniture, the cleaner had drawn all the curtains, so the entire house was very dark. Fu Chen kicked the door closed and trapped her between his body and the door.

Faint light shone in through the curtains, making the room look even gentler.

“Wanwan, it’s finally just the two of us.” Fu Chen lowered his head and smiled at her.

…

Blushing a little, Song Fengwan went to the bathroom to take a bath.

People always said that absence made the heart grow fonder. These words weren’t false at all, as they couldn’t get enough of each other.

Even when she sat and chatted with him for a bit, she felt comfortable.

In the military training base, she had always been in a hurry when showering, so she took a long bath. When she came out, the dining table was already full of food. There was nothing here, so Fu Chen had ordered takeout.

magic “What did you order?” Song Fengwan was wearing a long nightdress with thin straps, revealing her calves. Her fair skin had a few bruises, and her feet were wrinkled and pale from sweat.

Song Fengwan had spent her summer vacation in Nanjiang, where the ultraviolet rays were very strong. She was extremely careful about using sunscreen, so she wasn’t tanned, but she was too skinny.

“I just ordered a few dishes. Have some to fill your stomach. We’ll go out to eat something else after you rest.”

Song Fengwan hadn’t eaten such delicious food in a long time and ate a lot. She sat on the sofa and called her mother.

The restaurant had delivered a box of watermelon with the food. Fu Chen had placed the watermelon in the fridge earlier. Now, he took it out and sat beside Song Fengwan. He picked up a toothpick, pierced a piece of watermelon, and fed it to her.

“… It’s over. There’s a new student assembly for the entire school tomorrow. There’s also a welcome banquet tonight. Then it should be the holidays.”

When Qiao Aiyun saw the photos of the military training that Song Fengwan sent, her heart ached. She had been eating without seeing any oil every day, and she had been training under the scorching sun, causing her to lose a lot of weight. “Then, when are you planning to come back? The tickets for National Day are very tight. When you confirm the time, I’ll book the ticket for you.”

Song Fengwan bit her lip and looked at the person beside her. Fu Chen looked at her calmly and waited for her answer.

“National Day…”

“Don’t you have seven days off? There’s plenty of time.” Ever since she went to school, Qiao Aiyun started missing her. If she wasn’t pregnant, she would have flown to the capital long ago.

“I’ll tell you when I confirm the exact time. How’s your health recently…” Song Fengwan changed the topic stiffly.

“I’m quite good. You don’t have to worry about things at home. If you need any money, just tell me…” She was talking about the things parents usually do.

After hanging up, Fu Chen tilted his head and looked at her. “Are you going back for National Day?”

“I should go back for a few days.” Other than the National Day and summer and winter breaks, Song Fengwan didn’t have time to run back and forth.

“Okay.” Fu Chen nodded and reached out to rub her calf.

Song Fengwan held the iced watermelon and ate it contentedly. She turned on the TV and switched channels.

At this moment, Beijing Television Station was playing the evening rebroadcast of the domestic legal program ‘All Beings’. The scene on the TV was fixed on a ward, and a woman was crying and complaining.

The title was also very eye-catching.

[The Son is Ill, and His Parents Reveal a Shocking Secret.]

“Why isn’t the host of this show here anymore?” Song Fengwan muttered softly.

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. As long as there were people around, there would definitely be conflicts, much less in the workplace. If a show became popular and attracted sponsors, a newbie like Yu Manxi, who had no background, would easily become someone else’s stepping stone.

If TV stations wanted to promote a newbie, they would definitely have to find the most popular show to do it.

At this moment, the woman on the TV was crying very miserably. She said that her son had leukemia and was in urgent need of a match. She also had a younger son who had been kidnapped and was wandering outside, so she hoped that everyone could help her find him.

There were even photos posted. The program even announced a bank account number, hoping that kind-hearted people could donate for the medical fees.

“These human traffickers are really heartless. This child was kidnapped when he was just two months old.” Song Fengwan sighed.

Fu Chen looked at the TV. The photo of the child on the TV was taken when he was born. He was so wrinkled that nothing could be seen at all. It was too difficult to find a child with just this photo.

She had said that she had lost the child when she came to the capital to visit her relatives, so she had turned to a local TV station for help and even begged kind-hearted people to provide her with clues.

But she couldn’t pinpoint the exact location. The most ridiculous thing was that she actually didn’t call the police, and the police station didn’t have a record at all. She said that she was uneducated. At the time, she was only focused on calling her husband and family to find the child and forgot to look for the police.

Later, when the family became busy with farming, they returned to the countryside. But they had never given up on searching for him all these years.

“Isn’t this searching for a needle in a haystack? There’s no way to find him,” Song Fengwan muttered. “Not calling the police after losing the child? Was he really kidnapped?”

Fu Chen lowered his head and rubbed her legs. In current TV programs, no one could tell whether something was true or false.

Song Fengwan felt that there were too many loopholes in her words, so she didn’t continue watching. Instead, she changed to a movie channel and watched half a movie with Fu Chen.

…

“It’s half past nine. I asked Shi Fang to buy some food. Are you going back to the dormitory after eating?” Fu Chen smiled at her.

“I don’t really want to go back.” Song Fengwan was so tired that she couldn’t even lift her arms and didn’t want to move at all.

“Are you sure you want to stay with me?”

“Can you even eat me?” Song Fengwan felt that she was half crippled, so he shouldn’t be so crazy.

Fu Chen chuckled lightly.?Provoking me? How bold.
