Chapter 131: Third Master: Unreasonable, Childish Old Man

Hearing the term ‘Third Uncle’, Qiao Xiyan raised his eyebrows.

Why are they so close after a night?

Fu Chen raised his hand and flicked his pants leg.

No wonder she stressed to me last night that I’m not allowed to threaten her with this matter anymore. Seems like she tricked me.

She’s young but quite vengeful.

“Since you’re all here, quickly eat.” Uncle Nian called them to the dining table.

On the table were some sesame seed pastries, a bunch of sugar fritters, and a few bowls of soft bean curd.

“Last time you were here, you had breakfast with Wanwan outside. These are Beijing speciality breakfast items. Have a taste.” Uncle Nian stood at the side and waited for Qiao Xiyan to comment on them.

Morning tea was popular in Suzhou. The dishes were exquisite and quite different from those in Beijing. He held a spoon and scooped some bean curd. It was tender and smooth, as white as jade and as tender as fat.

“It’s delicious.”

“Then eat more.” Uncle Nian wiped his hands and walked to the side.

Song Fengwan kept her head lowered as she ate a sesame seed pastry. She felt over the moon, her mood so good that it was about to soar.

I finally took revenge for last night’s grievance.

“Third Master, the gas is full.” Qian Jiang entered the house and handed the car key to Fu Chen.

Fu Chen pushed the key to Qiao Xiyan. “When are you leaving? Should I get someone to drive you?”

He glanced at Song Fengwan from the corner of his eye.

Little girl, I’ll deal with you later.

“Cousin, where are you going?” Song Fengwan pretended not to know that he was going out.

“To the northern side for a while to buy raw jade. I’ll be back in the evening.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Fu Chen lowered his head and ate his bean curd, his expression unreadable.

“You’re not studying today?”

“Haven’t you always told me to strike a balance between work and rest? I’m not in the mood to study today. I’ll draw when I get back tonight.” Song Fengwan pretended to be pitiful.

Qiao Xiyan thought about what had happened at the tutoring center and knew that she felt wronged and upset.

“Besides, I haven’t seen you in a long time. I want to be with you longer. If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

Qiao Xiyan felt happy hearing this.

I didn’t dote on her for nothing.

“Pack your things. We’ll leave after we finish eating.”

“Okay!”

Fu Chen laughed softly.

You can run, but you can’t hide. It’s not like you’re not coming back.

***

When the two of them went out, Fu Chen only sent them to the door and watched the car drive away before turning around and going back into the house.

Song Fengwan sat in the front passenger seat and lowered her head to browse Weibo for a while before turning to look at Qiao Xiyan. “Cousin, do you care about your age? Like if someone calls you uncle, will you be angry?”

“No.” Qiao Xiyan was born with a cold face. He was mature and steady. In middle school, he was already 1.78 meters tall. When he graduated from high school, many people called him uncle.

“Then what kind of man would mind others calling him uncle?”

“A pretentious old man pretending to be young.”

Song Fengwan burst out laughing.

His conclusion is very on point.

“What does Third Master Fu like to eat?” Qiao Xiyan glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

What’s wrong with this girl? I didn’t say much, so why is she smiling like a fool?

“Huh?”

“Knowing his preferences, I can better book a restaurant in advance and treat him to a meal before we leave.”

“When are we leaving?” Song Fengwan lowered her head and scrolled through her phone screen.

Two months passed by way too quickly.

“In a few days. Why? Can’t bear to? Have you developed feelings for Fu Chen while staying with him?”

Song Fengwan choked.

What feelings could I have for that shameless old man?

She hurriedly said, “I can’t bear to part with the heater.”

Yuncheng was located in the middle of China, neither south nor north. Winter was cold and humid, and there were no heaters either. The air was extremely dry with the air conditioner on, so it was definitely not as comfortable as the heating here.

Qiao Xiyan smiled.

She’s really a child.

Throughout the car ride, Song Fengwan was a little distracted. There were a lot of troubling matters back in Yuncheng. People always subconsciously sought benefits and avoided harm, so she subconsciously didn’t want to face them.

“Think about Fu Chen’s preferences. I’ll make arrangements early.” Qiao Xiyan turned his head to look at her.

Why is she in a daze?

“Oh, okay.” Song Fengwan thought about it. Fu Chen was not picky about food, and the dishes at home were always changing. She really didn’t know what he liked to eat, and she couldn’t ask him directly either, so she could only change her target to Duan Linbai.

***

At this moment, Duan Linbai was lying against a heater and holding a bag of melon seeds while watching a drama.

Sister Song: [Big Brother Duan, are you there?]

Duan Linbai hurriedly spat out a melon seed shell. [Yeah. What’s the matter?]

[I want to ask you what Third Master likes?]

Duan Linbai raised his eyebrows.

You, you!

[What he likes to eat usually!]

What does he like to eat?

Duan Linbai ate melon seeds and sat cross-legged. He was wearing a pair of pink thermal underwear, shaking his legs vigorously, and wishing he could say: You, you.

But he didn’t dare to screw with Fu Chen now. If Fu Chen found out and complained to his father, his father would definitely strip him naked in this cold winter and throw him out to freeze into an ice popsicle.

[Third Fu isn’t picky about food, but his tastes are on the lighter side. He also eats food with a lot of oil and sauces, but not too much.]

Song Fengwan narrowed her eyes, smiled, and sent him an emoji of a heart. [Oh right, why did you leave in such a hurry?]

[I’m watching the snow in Kilimanjaro. When your college entrance exam is over, I’ll bring you out to play.]

Song Fengwan only sent him a happy emoji and didn’t reply anymore.

She didn’t know that Duan Linbai was currently holing up in a farmhouse in the countryside. Outside, chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs made noises non-stop. It was extremely noisy.

He originally planned to climb the mountain. But recently, the snow was too heavy, so the mountain was sealed. There were no villages or shops nearby, so he could only nest in a farmhouse.

***

Fu Chen’s whole body hurt from Song Fengwan calling him uncle.

Instead of calling me Third Master, she changed it to Uncle. This girl really knows how to poke at my heart.

His phone vibrated, and he received a screenshot from Duan Linbai. It was the emoji Song Fengwan sent him, which was a small person shooting out hearts…

[Third Fu, Little Sister-in-Law is so cute.]

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to type a message. [My mother wants to introduce you to a blind date, and she asked if you like strong and tall men.]

Duan Linbai choked.

A man?! A f*cking blind date?! Tall and strong?!

Is he indirectly mocking that I’m a bottom?! This bastard is too shameless!

F*ck! I’m a straight man and like women!

He suddenly thought of the woman in the alley that day and rubbed his neck. Even though he had taken off the neck brace, it still hurt like hell.

That was a woman? She was wearing white clothes, so she’s definitely a female Rakshasa who came for my life!

She definitely looks burly and fierce! Whoever marries her definitely has the worst f*cking luck!
