Chapter 230: Little Southern Barbarian, Third Master’s Nephew

He was about the same height as Fu Chen, and even his appearance was a little similar. But Fu Chen was wearing a light gray woolen sweater paired with a long black down jacket today, looking as ascetic and gentle as usual.

However, the person beside him was completely different.

He was wearing a slightly heavier bomber jacket that accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs. His eyes and brows were very similar to Fu Chen’s, carrying an indifferent and faintly noble air. But he also had a tough and arrogant vibe, and his footsteps were strong and purposeful.

Especially that pair of eyes, they locked onto her firmly.

He was like an elegant yet dangerous cheetah.

Fu Chen turned his head and gave him a look. “You’re still looking at her?”

The person frowned.?Is she so precious? Why can’t I look?

The dangerous aura instantly disappeared, making him look like a sunny big boy.

The waiter was currently cleaning the table and the floor. The cake had gotten everywhere just now.

“Move seats?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows. Just by thinking about it, he knew that Sun Rui had sat there just now. He didn’t want to sit in Sun Rui’s seat.

“Sure.” Song Fengwan got up and walked to an empty seat behind.

Qian Jiang immediately went over to help her carry her drawing tools.

The person subconsciously rubbed his fingers. He had rarely seen Qian Jiang take such initiative to do things like this. Was their relationship really as simple as her just staying at Fu Chen’s house for a while?

He had seen many likable people, but a straight man like Qian Jiang wouldn’t pretend to be nice to them either.

After the three of them sat down, Fu Chen spoke first. “Did she make things difficult for you?”

“How do you know?” Song Fengwan didn’t conceal it either.

“I just came and happened to see her leave.”

“She was really fierce.” Song Fengwan was speechless. “She scared me to death.”

Shi Fang coughed twice. Sun Rui was in such a disheveled state just now. But apart from the ink and paint on Song Fengwan’s body, she hadn’t been touched by anything else. From her looks, she hadn’t been beaten either, so she had definitely gained the upper hand in the confrontation. How could she say that she had been scared to death?

“Why did she bully you?”

“Because of you. She wanted to give you a gift and probably wanted to use me to get close to you, but I rejected her. Then she eavesdropped on my phone call and got angry because she’s jealous that we have a good relationship,” Song Fengwan explained simply.

“Did she touch you?”

“She scolded me.” Song Fengwan pouted, seemingly having wronged greatly.

Fu Chen’s fingers tapped the table gently with an even rhythm. But his eyes and brows were glacial and sharp. He was obviously quite unhappy.

The person beside him was scrolling through the menu on a tablet and inadvertently glanced at the two. The two of them spoke very casually, which was far beyond his expectations. After all, Fu Chen had never been an easy person to get along with.

“Then I threw a cake at her face.” Song Fengwan still appeared very excited at the thought of this.

Diagonally opposite, the person’s fingers stiffened.?Threw a cake at Sun Rui?

Logically speaking, this kind of spoiled and willful Miss High and Mighty should have scratched her face to bits. Why would she let her off so easily and even run away in such a pathetic state?

“Mhm.” Fu Chen felt comfortable after hearing this.

“But I didn’t aim properly. It’s a bit of a pity I didn’t throw it right on her face.” Song Fengwan laughed.

“Little Uncle, what would you like to drink?” the young man beside him asked.

Song Fengwan nearly choked on the cake.

Little Uncle?

This is…

Third Brother’s older sister’s son?

He’s already this old?

“I forgot to introduce you. Shen Jinye, my nephew. This is Song Fengwan.” Fu Chen didn’t reveal his relationship with Song Fengwan.

“Hello!” Shen Jinye smiled very brightly, but his eyes were sharp just now, and Song Fengwan couldn’t return to her senses.

“Hello.” Song Fengwan smiled awkwardly and glanced at Fu Chen.?No wonder these two look alike. He’s his nephew.

“How was your exam today?” Fu Chen didn’t intend to let the two continue the conversation.

“Not only was I tested on the basics, but I also had to use my imagination to fill in the blanks. Although I came out early, I don’t feel too good about it.” The exam was on design, and it required people to be truly creative in order to stand out.

“It’s fine.” In any case, Fu Chen had no intention of letting Song Fengwan go to Nanjiang.

It was too far away.

***

During dinner, as they were not familiar with one another, the three of them didn’t talk much. But Song Fengwan still understood the basic situation of Shen Jinye.

He was studying at a university in Jinling. He was 19 years old this year, a second-year student, and was studying engineering design. He had specially come to visit the two elders of the Fu family during his winter vacation and would conveniently stay here for a while.

His nephew is already nineteen??Song Fengwan lowered her head and took a bite of cake to calm herself down. But when she thought about how Fu Sinian was even older than Fu Chen and had to call him Third Uncle, she felt better and thought that he was the most miserable person.

Fu Chen had picked him up at the airport just now. There had been a lot of noise, so he hadn’t noticed the content of Fu Chen’s phone call.

Whenever Song Fengwan thought of how Fu Sinian would call her Aunt[1] in the future and how this person in front of her would call her Aunt[2], she felt as though thunder had struck her.

She really didn’t understand why the two elders of the Fu family had still wanted to have a fourth child at such an advanced age when they already had two sons and a daughter at the time.

Halfway through the meal, Old Madam Fu called Fu Chen. But Shen Jinye answered the call.

“Hello, Grandma.” Shen Jinye walked out with the phone.

Song Fengwan lifted Fu Chen’s calf under the table. “Why is your sister’s son so old?”

“My brother’s son is even older,” Fu Chen said nonchalantly.

“It will feel horrifying when he calls me Aunt.”

“Don’t worry. He’ll definitely be more horrified than you.”

Fu Chen was telling the truth. Never in his wildest dreams had Shen Jinye expected Fu Chen to find a high school student.

Even if he found a university student, he would think that he was an old cow eating young grass[3].

After Shen Jinye ended the call, he saw Fu Chen’s lock screen wallpaper. There was a red figure on a snowfield—a woman’s back view. The photo was shot very artistically, and her face couldn’t be seen clearly. He thought it was a photo from the internet.

He was speechless.?My little uncle has finally hit puberty.

***

Song Fengwan had another exam the next day, so the three of them went back after dinner.

Halfway through, Shen Jinye received a call from Fu Sinian.

“Big Bro—” Upon hearing his address for Fu Sinian, people could tell that they had a good relationship.

But Song Fengwan had never heard Fu Yuxiu mention this younger brother. They probably didn’t have a good relationship.

“Where are you?” Fu Sinian had been in a meeting the whole time, and it just ended. He should have been the one to pick up Shen Jinye, but there had been a small problem with the software’s beta test, so he had passed it to Fu Chen.

“On the way to Little Uncle’s house.”

“Come and stay with me.”

“I’ve always stayed at Little Uncle’s house when I come over. I don’t want to stay with you. Your daily routine is upside down. If I stay with you, I can only eat takeaway for all three meals a day.” Children at this age were not very willing to live with the elderly. They felt that they were naggy. Otherwise, he would have stayed at the Fu family’s old residence.

Although Fu Chen was a generation older than him, he wasn’t very old.

“I’m serious. Come and stay with me.” Fu Sinian reached out to remove his glasses and pinched the space between his brows.

“I’m not going. I’m almost there. I’m scared since you invited me over for no reason.” Shen Jinye rubbed his nose.

Fu Sinian was also a devious person, and he was usually unwilling to play with him. After all, there was a generation gap between the two of them since they were far apart in age. Besides, he was busy every day and night, so his mother wouldn’t let him stay at his house.

That Fu Sinian had invited him to stay with him without any reason… He kept feeling that there was a trap.

“Would I harm you?” Fu Sinian pinched the space between his eyebrows.?What is in this damn kid’s head?

“It’s not like you haven’t tricked me before.”

Fu Sinian immediately hung up.

He had already reached out to save him, but since he rejected him, if anything happened, he couldn’t blame him for being disloyal as his older brother.

The age difference between him and Song Fengwan was too small, and there would definitely be a lot of topics to talk about among people of the same age. If they lived under the same roof, given his third uncle’s jealousy, he might record everything that happened in his notebook.

If he ruffled his feathers someday, this brat would probably be thrown out onto the streets as a corpse along with his luggage.

He wished him good luck.

…

Shen Jinye looked at the hung up phone and then at Fu Chen. “Little Uncle, what’s wrong with my brother recently? Why did he suddenly ask me to stay at his house?”

“Why didn’t you go?” Fu Chen smiled.

“It’s quite strange. Has he been agitated recently?”

“He was indeed overly agitated a few days ago.”

“No wonder. There has to be a reason he’s acting so strange. I’m not going.” Shen Jinye was speechless. When facing Fu Sinian’s cold face, he couldn’t even eat.

Sitting in the back row, Song Fengwan could only sigh at how devious Fu Chen was.

How could he say he was overly agitated?

Wasn’t it because he scared him?

***

Yunjin Prime Manor…

When they returned, Shen Jinye looked for Fu Xinhan.

“There’s something wrong with Linbai’s eyes. I sent Fu Xinhan over to accompany him.” Fu Chen didn’t go into detail.

“Oh.” Shen Jinye nodded and pulled two suitcases inside the house. He had his own room and came frequently. He carried the luggage upstairs.

Song Fengwan also went back to change her clothes. Considering that there were outsiders around, she was too embarrassed to wear pajamas and dressed appropriately.

When she walked past Shen Jinye’s room, the door was open, and he was unpacking.

She wanted to leave quietly, but Shen Jinye had already seen her. “My room is a little messy, so I won’t invite you in to have a seat.” Shen Jinye picked up the unopened Coke on the table and passed it to her. “Want any?”

“No, thank you.”

Shen Jinye looked tough and recalcitrant, but he was strangely easy to get along with. He didn’t put on any airs in his words and actions.

It was completely different from when she first came into contact with Fu Yuxiu. He was always cold and aloof, giving off a feeling of superiority.

“Aren’t you too skinny?” Just now, she had been wearing a coat outside the whole time. Only after she came home and changed did Shen Jinye realize that her figure was too skinny.

He was a little hostile to Song Fengwan because, in his opinion, his little uncle doted on him the most. This was because he had the best relationship with his mother, so he was also partial toward him. But he was so anxious and gentle to a young lady staying with him. He felt jealous at the bottom of his heart.

There were no girls in the Fu family. Ever since he started school, he had been in the fast stream, and he had studied science in high school and engineering in university. Coupled with the fact that there were not many girls in these fields, he hadn’t interacted much with the opposite sex.

This was also the first time he had met someone so soft and cute.

He didn’t like the Sun family. When he heard her say that she had chased Sun Rui away, he felt that she looked slender but wasn’t weak. And when she spoke to him, she was tactful, so he didn’t look at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

He treated her as if he had an additional younger sister, and they could also play together now that there was someone his age around.

“It’s tiring to study art, right?” Shen Jinye unscrewed the Coke and took two sips.

Song Fengwan was a little surprised. Regarding art students studying fine arts, some people felt that art students were taking shortcuts by spending money. After all, the enrollment online for art schools was full of handsome men and beautiful women. It was earth-shattering news.

However, that wasn’t the case. There was no central heating in Yuncheng. When she learned how to draw last winter, besides her thumb, her fingers had all suffered from frostbite. But she had to take care not to fall behind in her studies. Only art students themselves knew how difficult it was.

“It’s alright.” She smiled.

“I know a classmate who specializes in sports. He trains every day till he drops. Are you from Yuncheng?”

“Yes.”

“Are you taking the national college entrance examination, or are the questions assigned independently? For us, we come up with our own exam questions. Especially when there are people who propose math problems, it’s simply abnormal.”

“I see…”

…

There were naturally common topics among people of the same age.

Fu Chen just went upstairs when he saw Song Fengwan standing at Shen Jinye’s door, with a smile on her face too.

He raised an eyebrow.

Song Fengwan stood at his door for a while and then prepared to go downstairs. When she turned around, she saw Fu Chen. “Third… Third Master.”

Shen Jinye also walked out of the room. “Little Uncle, I forgot my razor. I want to borrow yours later.”

“Personal items aren’t to be borrowed. Go out and buy it yourself.” His voice was cold and hard.

Shen Jinye scratched his head.?I didn’t offend him, right? Why does he suddenly dislike me so much and speak in such a harsh tone?

“Then, I’ll go out later. I need to buy some other things too. Do you want to go to the supermarket and buy some snacks?” Shen Jinye looked at Song Fengwan.

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.?This little southern barbarian.

Not only were they chatting, but he also wants to take her out?

“No, thanks. I still have to study for a while. I have an exam tomorrow.” Song Fengwan could already feel a chill down her spine.

“In that case, what do you want to eat? I’ll get you some.”

“No need. I’m going back to my room first.” Song Fengwan hurried back into her room.

Shen Jinye shrugged. “Little Uncle, lend me your car.” He was already 18 years old and had gotten his driver’s license.

“Walk over or take the bus.” Fu Chen then returned to his room straight away.

Shen Jinye was dumbfounded.?I drove his car often in the past. Why isn’t he allowing me to touch it?

***

When Song Fengwan heard Shen Jinye’s room door close, she guessed that he had gone to the supermarket. Then she quickly received a message from Fu Chen.

[Come to my room, or I’ll go to yours.]

Song Fengwan was still thinking about how to reply when there was a knock on the door.

This man sure came quickly.

[1] 婶婶 refers to the wife of one’s father’s younger brother. However, it isn’t clearly specified in English.

[2] 舅妈 refers to the wife of one’s maternal uncle. It also translates to ‘Aunt’ in English.

[3] A Chinese idiom that is the same as ‘robbing the cradle’, meaning to date or marry someone much younger.
