Chapter 359 : Sealed as Her Boyfriend, Third Master Is Very Smug
Beijing University’s Welcome Gala was on the 29th, and many new students went home the next day.
If Song Fengwan didn’t return to Nanjiang this time, she would have to wait until winter break. She missed Qiao Aiyun too. After hesitating for a while, she still decided to return to Nanjiang.
The National Day holiday was seven days long, and many people traveled. Flights on the 30th were too popular, so Yan Wangchuan helped her book a flight on the night of the 1st.
There were only three people in the dorm room now. Hu Xinyue’s boyfriend had come from Shaanbei, and Miao Yating’s house was quite far away, so she didn’t intend to go back. Her parents gave her money for her to have fun in Beijing.
It was rare for Song Fengwan to sleep in, but Hu Xinyue woke up early in the morning, washed her hair, changed her clothes, and dressed up. After preparing for a long time, she went out to pick up her boyfriend at around ten.
“Wanwan, what time is your flight tomorrow?” Miao Yating was most afraid of being alone. At the thought that she would be left alone in the dorm room, she couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“It’s around six at night. If you don’t have any plans today, do you want to accompany me to buy some local specialties? I want to bring some back. I’m quite familiar with the capital, so I can also take you shopping.”
“Sure,” Miao Yating agreed readily.
Song Fengwan got out of bed and saw Duan Linbai’s poster. It was still stuck together with her grandfather’s picture. No matter how she looked at it, something was amiss.
The two ate in the cafeteria for lunch before going to the Thousand Treasures Mall beside the school to buy some local specialties. At around 3 p.m., Hu Xinyue called and said that she wanted to treat them to a meal with her boyfriend.
It was a common practice for someone with a significant other to treat their friends, so Song Fengwan naturally agreed.
Fu Chen originally wanted to spend more time with her before she left. It was fine if she accompanied her roommate during the day, but to meet her roommate and her boyfriend at night?
A certain someone was so upset that Fu Xinhan didn’t dare to approach him.
“You still have plans tomorrow?” Fu Chen held the phone, his tone weak.
“Why don’t…” Song Fengwan glanced at Miao Yating, who was looking at clothes. Actually, she had a soft personality and was a little sensitive deep down. She wasn’t a bad person. Song Fengwan was on the phone all day in the dorm room and kept hiding her relationship from outsiders. But her roommates were with her day and night, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to hide it from them.
Hu Xinyue also knew about it, and they were only hiding it from Miao Yating. Song Fengwan was afraid that if Miao Yating knew about it in the future, she would have other thoughts.
In fact, Miao Yating was quite innocent. She followed Duan Linbai on Weibo because of Hu Xinyue, and she knew nothing about Fu Chen. She hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t you treat my roommates to a meal tomorrow?”
Fu Chen smiled. “Sure. I’ll arrange the location.”
Song Fengwan hung up and told Miao Yating about this in advance.
She was a little sensitive to begin with. She had seen Song Fengwan on the phone before and guessed that she had a boyfriend. Since Song Fengwan was willing to let her meet her boyfriend, she naturally treated her as a friend, making her quite happy.
In addition, there was the matter with Wu Yuxin. It could be considered that Song Fengwan had caused her to move out of the dorm room and away from Miao Yating’s life, so she naturally had a better impression of her.
She had a soft personality and was introverted. Even if she was wronged, she could only hold it in.
“Is your boyfriend also attending university in the capital?” Miao Yating couldn’t help feeling a little envious when she saw that both her roommates had boyfriends.
“He’s working.”
“Working? How much older is he than you?”
Song Fengwan coughed twice. “About six or seven years.”
“How did you two meet?” Miao Yating was surprised and felt that it was unbelievable.
“The process is a little complicated, but both families know each other…”
***
On the first day of National Day, Fu Chen drove to the school to pick up Song Fengwan and her roommates.
“Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Fu Chen,” Song Fengwan introduced solemnly.
“Hello.” Fu Chen was happy in his heart. She had personally sealed and certified him as her boyfriend.
He was driving the car he had used for practice in the past, which wasn’t an expensive brand. The three girls squeezed into the back, and Hu Xinyue’s boyfriend was sitting in the front passenger seat.
Hu Xinyue’s boyfriend’s name was Xiang Chunhui. He was a very tough and passionate person, but he was still a little reserved when he saw Fu Chen.
They were all students and rarely interacted with people in society like Fu Chen, so it was inevitable that they felt slightly uncomfortable. They were all students and people from outside the capital, so when they heard Fu Chen’s name, they didn’t think much about it.
“Which school do you go to?” Fu Chen looked at the boy beside him.
“Shaanxi University.”
“What are you studying?”
“Mechanical engineering.”
“Then, you should have a good job later…”
Fu Chen was knowledgeable about a lot of things and could chat with him. The atmosphere instantly became lively.
This was the first time Miao Yating had seen Fu Chen. He was simply stunning. Moreover, his mannerisms and speech were elegant and proper. When he spoke to them, he didn’t put on any airs and was a gentleman. She said straightforwardly that Song Fengwan had hidden him well.
They drove to the farmhouse restaurant. As Fu Chen had booked a private room advance, the five of them went straight to the room.
“Third Master, what would you like for drinks?” The manager received him personally.
“Make me a pot of tea. What do you want to drink?” Fu Chen looked at the students.
Because Hu Xinyue was more active, the few of them happily ordered the dishes and chatted.
After all, the farmhouse restaurant wasn’t a big hotel and similar to ordinary restaurants. After they became more familiar with it, they weren’t so reserved.
“Who owns this farmhouse restaurant? The business is so good.” Hu Xinyue had gone to the restroom and saw that there were people queuing outside.
“A friend of mine.” Fu Chen poured Song Fengwan a cup of tea.
“Your friend has quite unique tastes.” Hu Xinyue sized up the private room. It was decorated in all kinds of colors. Perhaps because the owner wanted the room to look more ancient, there were even some old paintings hanging on the walls.
There were even a few strings of dried chili peppers hanging at the door.
Song Fengwan suddenly laughed out loud.?Isn’t this person with unique tastes your ‘prince charming’?
“His tastes have always been unique.” Fu Chen and Song Fengwan smiled at each other.
***
At this moment, this person with unique tastes was driving Huai Sheng to the mountain.
Fu Chen had invited him to dinner last night. He was eating well when Fu Chen said, “Linbai, I have something to ask you for help with.”
Hearing this, Duan Linbai was overjoyed.
Fu Chen asking me for help? This is really rare.
At the time, he drank a little alcohol and waved his hand. “Okay, go ahead!”
“Help me send Huai Sheng up the mountain tomorrow. I have to meet Wanwan’s roommates with her tomorrow, so I’m not free.”
A certain someone fed him dog food backhandedly.?F*ck, you’re going to see Little Sister-in-Law’s roommates, but I have to be your driver and send this little monk to the mountain?
“I’m going to go to your farmhouse restaurant. Get someone to reserve a private room for me. It has to be the best. After all, it’s our first meeting, so I can’t be rude.”
Although Fu Chen wasn’t smiling, Duan Linbai could tell from his tone that he was very smug.?I’m here to eat food, not eat dog food.
While eating, Fu Chen messaged Song Fengwan every few minutes.
“Can you chat with me for a while?!” Duan Linbai was a little talkative. But Fu Chen was ignoring, making him feel uncomfortable.
“Wanwan is a little clingy to me,” Fu Chen said matter-of-factly.
“You’re a typical example of forgetting your friends after getting a girlfriend.”
“Is this your first day knowing me?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
Duan Linbai almost vomited blood.?Fu Chen, you’re ruthless. You’re impressive!
***
Duan Linbai was a little afraid of Huai Sheng. When he had gone on vacation to the ski resort, he hadn’t forgotten the fear of being dominated by the wooden fish. As expected, in the morning the next day, the little monk called him at six and asked him to send him up the mountain. He said that there would be a traffic jam later.
Ever since his eyes recovered, his schedule had been a little messy. Coupled with the fact that he had drunk alcohol yesterday, he only went to Yunjin Prime Manor to pick Huai Sheng up at ten o’clock.
As expected, they were blocked halfway up the mountain.
“I already told you to come over early, but you refused to listen. Look what happened now.” Huai Sheng held a cup of bubble tea and looked at Duan Linbai with a resentful expression.
“I forgot that it’s National Day.” Duan Linbai yawned. He held the steering wheel with one hand and supported his chin with the other.
The Han Mountain Ciji Monastery, where Huai Sheng lived, was said to be very efficacious. During festive occasions, there were a lot of incense offerings, and it was already considered a tourist attraction. Coupled with the National Day holiday, there were many tourists from other places, so the road up the mountain was completely blocked.
He hadn’t eaten in the morning, and he was so hungry that his stomach kept growling.
He called Fu Chen to complain, but he said directly, “I’m busy.”
He was furious.
After much difficulty, the car finally moved to the top of the mountain. In order to wait for a parking space, he dawdled for another half an hour before finally arriving at the monastery. Duan Linbai was already too hungry to walk. Fortunately, the mountain air was cool. Otherwise, he would have definitely fainted from the heat.
“Little monk, get me something to eat.” Duan Linbai collapsed in Huai Sheng’s room.?Is this a bed? It’s so hard!
He lay on the bed and sent Fu Chen a message, saying he had already safely sent Huai Sheng up the mountain.
“I’ll go to the dining hall to find something for you.”
Huai Sheng only took around five minutes to bring back a few white steamed buns and a plate of pickled vegetables.
“You only have this?” Duan Linbai was dumbfounded.?F*ck, I didn’t even eat breakfast and lunch. You want me to eat this?
“There’s no more food. Senior Brother left this for me.”
“Is there no meat?”
“Where would meat come from in the monastery? Do you want to eat it?” Huai Sheng asked.
“No.” Duan Linbai’s mind was full of chickens, ducks, and shark fins. He didn’t want to eat steamed buns.
“Then, I’ll eat it myself. If you don’t want to leave, you can go there during dinner. The dining hall will open at five-thirty.” Huai Sheng sat on the brick bed and ate the steamed buns by himself.
Duan Linbai’s stomach was already growling from hunger, but the little monk beside him was still eating happily. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
Huai Sheng turned to look at him.?He even wants to eat meat. Steamed buns can fill the stomach. How delicate.
But the next second, Duan Linbai quickly picked up a steamed bun and started munching on it.
“Does it taste good?” Huai Sheng smiled.
“Not bad.”
“This pickled vegetable is also delicious. The cook pickled it himself.” Huai Sheng looked at him wolfing down the food with disdain.
Duan Linbai picked up the chopsticks at the side and ate a mouthful of pickled vegetables with the steamed bun. “Delicious.”
Huai Sheng smiled bitterly.?Didn’t he swear not to eat just now?
He slapped himself in the face real fast.
Huai Sheng was a child after all, so he wasn’t hungry after eating half a steamed bun. Duan Linbai was still wolfing down the food.
Duan Linbai was still eating steamed buns when the farmhouse restaurant’s manager called him. He grabbed his phone. “Hello.”
“Little Boss, Third Master and his group have left.”
“Really?” Duan Linbai said casually.
“He didn’t pay the bill. It’s under your name.”
Cough cough…?Duan Linbai choked on the steamed bun.
Fu Chen, are you still f*cking human? I’m eating steamed buns here because of you, yet you still cheated me?
I’m going to cut ties with you when I get back!
…
After eating four steamed buns, Duan Linbai was lying comfortably on Huai Sheng’s bed with his legs crossed. He rubbed his stomach with one hand and played with his phone with the other.
“Huai Sheng…” Suddenly, someone pushed the door open and entered.
When Duan Linbai saw that it was Master Pudu of the monastery, he hurriedly jumped out of bed.
“Master.” Huai Sheng hugged his master happily.
Earlier, he had been helping people explain their lots, so Huai Sheng didn’t disturb him.
“Hello, Master Pudu.” Duan Linbai respected Master Pudu a lot. His mother would come to offer incense every year and treat him humbly and courteously. Duan Linbai naturally didn’t dare to be rash.
“Third Master didn’t come today?”
“He had something to do today, so I sent Huai Sheng over.”
“When are you going back? If it’s convenient, can I take your car down the mountain? I have something to discuss with Third Master.”
Duan Linbai was surprised. He knew that from the beginning of this monastery, this master had never gone down the mountain. Even when Huai Sheng entered the school, he had only been sent him halfway down the mountain.
He must have something urgent to see Fu Chen in such a hurry.?“I’m leaving soon.”
“Please wait for me. I will go down the mountain with you after sending off the last group of pilgrims.”
“I’m not in a hurry. Master, take your time.” Duan Linbai tugged at his hair.
“Huai Sheng, pack your things too and come down the mountain with me.”
Huai Sheng was dumbfounded. “Master?”?I just came back. Why am I going back?
Duan Linbai raised his eyebrows and looked at the innocent little monk.?This matter likely has something to do with Huai Sheng.
***
Yunjin Prime Manor…
Fu Chen had just sent Song Fengwan to the airport when he received a call from Uncle Nian. He said that Master Pudu was at home, so he hurried back.
When he reached home, Uncle Nian was taking Huai Sheng out to walk the dog. It was around 5 p.m. on a hot summer day, and the sun was still scorching, so it was obvious that he had deliberately sent Huai Sheng away.
“Master, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it.” Fu Chen didn’t beat around the bush.
Duan Linbai was sitting at the side with a curious expression.?What could make him so anxious to see Fu Chen?
Master Pudu’s expression was solemn. “Huai Sheng’s biological parents are here.”
Duan Linbai was stunned. “Isn’t that a good thing?”
Fu Chen frowned and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere was slightly heavy. After a few minutes, Duan Linbai suddenly jumped up. “Wait a minute. If I remember correctly, Huai Sheng was abandoned back then, right? He’s an abandoned baby.”
Master Pudu nodded.
“F*ck, since those people abandoned him, why are they f*cking here to find him?”
