raging fire meets warm sun

Such a photo appeared in a certain chat group.

Cheng Enxing and Xia Fangyu appeared together in a large shopping mall in City B, talking and laughing.

A: "Why is Cheng Enxing in such a mess?"

B: "I heard that I was beaten by some people from the No. [-] Middle School yesterday. I really deserve it."

C: "Why is she with the female devil? What's going on?"

A: "I heard that, according to the gossip, something happened to Cheng Enxing's house, and her parents temporarily boarded her at Sister Xia's house."

D: "What's the situation? It's bankrupt. If it's true, that's really great. Let her be so flamboyant and stinky at school all day long."

Yang Yihan: "Where did you get the photos from?"

Yang Zixuan: "Sister, some people from our group were also in the shopping mall today. I probably met them so I took a photo."

"..."

It's time for lunch, and I happen to be hungry.

I found a random restaurant to sit down, ordered a few dishes, I don't know what day it is, and I often meet acquaintances when I go out. Not long after that, Xia Fangyu met her college classmates again in the restaurant.

"Xia Fangyu, what a coincidence." Such a voice came from behind.

Xia Fangyu and Cheng Enxing looked over curiously almost at the same time, only to see a man and a woman walking towards them with their arms around each other.

The other party was not polite, and said, "If you don't mind, let's sit down too."

"I don't mind." Xia Fangyu smiled.

Cheng Enxing hastily moved a seat to the two of them, while he sat obediently in the empty seat next to Xia Fangyu.

The woman led the man to sit down together, and sat opposite them, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, the last time seems to be years ago, when we participated in the municipal teacher training together."

"It's been a long time." Xia Fangyu nodded.

The other party teaches in No. [-] Middle School. Like Xia Fangyu, he is also a high school teacher. In college, their relationship was so-so, neither bad nor particularly good. They are nodding acquaintances. After graduating and starting work, they will occasionally meet for inter-school exchanges or training.

"Oh, I almost forgot, look at my memory," the woman said, taking the arm of the man beside her, "This is my husband, who got married at the end of last year."

"Congratulations." Xia Fangyu said with a smile.

"What's there to congratulate? I'm an old woman, and I finally married myself." The other party covered his mouth and smiled.

Although Cheng Enxing remained silent at the side, it sounded a little weird. The woman said she was a leftover woman, wasn't she also talking about Xia Fangyu in disguise, so she deliberately observed Xia Fangyu's expression quietly, and there was nothing wrong with it. His expression changed, but he still kept a polite smile on his face.

"Hey, are you married? Are you still single?" the woman asked again.

"It's okay to be single..." Xia Fangyu replied.

"I think women should find a partner earlier. A few years ago, I was like you. I felt happy living alone. Now I regret it. It will be very difficult to get married and have children after the age of 30. .”

Cheng Enxing couldn't get used to it, so he interjected, "Women don't necessarily have to have children in their life."

"This is..." The other party pointed at her and asked.

"My student." Xia Fangyu replied, "I just graduated this year."

"Oh... that means you just finished the college entrance examination. How did you do? Can you go to Capital University?"

The other party's tone was quite mocking, as if he was deliberately refuting Cheng Enxing's words just now.

Before anyone could answer, the woman continued to add, "No. [-] Middle School is a key high school in City B. How many students in the whole grade do you usually take in the monthly exam?"

Cheng Enxing was not afraid of being ridiculed by the other party, because she herself didn't care about her grades, "Seven or eight hundred."

The woman smiled obviously, and said in a very exaggerated tone, "There are only more than 1000 students in the entire grade, and the seven or eight hundred students may not even be able to get three books."

At this time, Xia Fangyu came out to speak, and he was obviously defending Cheng Enxing, "This child is studying art, and she doesn't need too many cultural points in the college entrance examination, and her art test scores are very good. No problem."

The Fine Arts University in City B is one of the best in the country. Although it is not 211, it is also a university. Xia Fangyu's words are obviously a rebuke to her classmate's statement that Cheng Enxing couldn't get into all three.

The woman was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and her face was a little embarrassed, "So that's the case, hehehe, hehehe."

When the dishes were served, Xia Fangyu smiled and said, "I don't know if I will meet you here, why don't you look at the menu and order?" After she finished speaking, she handed over the menu.

The woman quickly smiled and waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm just here to chat with you, so I won't disturb you for dinner." She reached out and pinched her husband secretly, signaling him to stand up and leave quickly.

"It's okay, just treat it as if I'm treating you to dinner. It's not often we meet." Xia Fangyu asked politely.

The woman waved her hands again and again, "It's really not necessary, you can eat well, my husband and I will go shopping elsewhere."

Perhaps because of being slapped in the face by Xia Fangyu's words, the woman fled in a hurry with her husband, and did not start complaining dissatisfied until she left the restaurant.

"What is she? She hasn't married herself at the age of 30, and she is not afraid of being alone forever, so why should she be proud?"

"..."

Cheng Enxing complained unhappily, "Just now your classmate was obviously showing off his sense of superiority. I guess she is not sure to say bad things about you when she goes out now."

Xia Fangyu tidied up the dishes with a slight smile, "Don't worry about that, let's eat."

Cheng Enxing was furious. As a bystander, she couldn't stand it any longer. She rested her chin in one hand and said, "You still have a good temper. If I meet such a person, I will beat her mother so hard that she doesn't know her."

After finishing speaking, Xia Fangyu raised his eyes to look at her sharply, "Hey, don't move around and get into a fight, a girl who yells and fights all day long, that's not good."

Cheng Enxing ate his meal and acted foolishly, "That's how I am," he said with a smile, "Teacher, you have known me for three years, and you still don't know my temper."

Xia Fangyu smiled helplessly, "You should stop fighting in the future, if something happens, you will regret it for the rest of your life, you know..." After a pause, she murmured again, "I still don't I love when you fight."

Cheng Enxing chewed the rice, waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about it, Mr. Xia, thank you just now."

"Thank me for what?" Xia Fangyu looked at her curiously and asked in confusion.

"Thank you for speaking for me." Cheng Enxing replied.

"I'm just, telling the truth."

Cheng Enxing pouted, no matter what, he still thanked her for saving face for him just now.

"Actually, as long as you get rid of some bad habits, you will be a very good child." Xia Fangyu said.

"Why do I want to be an excellent child? Isn't it defined by outsiders to be excellent? I just need to be myself." Cheng Enxing said impatiently, "Oh, I have graduated, teacher, please don't lecture me. Now, then we can still get along happily, can't we?"

Xia Fangyu knew that Cheng Enxing's current situation was not caused by a day or two. Her parents were busy with work and neglected to discipline her since she was a child. A lot of love and guidance, rebellion and disobedience to discipline are synonymous with her, but she is confident and believes that one day, this child will find his own direction in life and make great strides towards the right path.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when I got home.

Cheng Enxing threw the white dress she changed into the washing machine, then turned and went back to her room. The moment she entered the door, she seemed to notice from the corner of her eye that Xia Fangyu went into the bathroom silently with the off-white bag she was carrying today. Presumably it was to do the cleaning work, and I felt a little sorry for a while, so I hurriedly closed the door and took out my mobile phone to check the price of the bag at the counter.

I found out that it wasn’t particularly expensive. It should be just a basic payment, less than 5000 yuan. It would be nice to buy an identical one and compensate her. When she woke up with less than 1000 yuan left, she panicked.

He hurriedly asked his mother for money, but no one answered the phone, so he had to send a message, but he didn't get a reply. In desperation, Cheng Enxing had to find Li Kexin, who had chatted with him during the day, for help.

Cheng Enxing: Is anyone there? Please let me know.

Li Kexin immediately sent her back a cheap expression pack.

Cheng Enxing then said: Can you lend me some money, not much, 5000 yuan, and I will pay you back when my mother sends me the money.

Without further ado, Li Kexin transferred money to her account and said: What is the relationship between us?

Cheng Enxing: Don't say that kind of thing. I, Cheng Enxing, owe money and don't pay it back. Wait for two days and pay you back soon.

Li Kexin: It's okay, it's okay, hey, nothing happened to you, you must ask my sisters for help if you have something to do!

Cheng Enxing: Don't worry, it's a little thing, besides, I came to you right away.

After finishing the chat, Li Kexin couldn't help feeling a little strange. Nothing happened to En Xing's house recently. She never asked to borrow money. What's the situation with Uncle Cheng's house recently? They're fine."

The man in the living room on the first floor raised his head and said, "Your Uncle Cheng's business has indeed gone wrong, but it's not something you should worry about."

"Why shouldn't I worry about it? Then I have to care about En Xing. Now that her parents have gone abroad, she is alone in China. As a good friend, I should take care of her more." Li Kexin retorted her father's words .

"The Cheng family's girl has been arrogant since she was a child, so don't tell her about it after you know it." The man hurriedly told her again.
