Beauty Wu didn’t buy much, only two shirts and a jacket for Wei Shuyi.

  She didn’t see Wei Shuyi in the living room and felt strange.

  “Cheng Cheng, where’s your uncle?”


  Fang Zicheng, who was called out, froze and subconsciously sat up straight.

  Beauty Wu felt that this little fellow was especially cute. Although he didn’t like to smile or talk, he was especially serious about things. It could be said that he was serious to the point of being menacing. This created a contrast between the two.

  Fang Zicheng said, “Uncle is resting.” His tone was especially stiff.

  Beauty Wu was about to go to the guest room to look for Wei Shuyi when that person walked over from the courtyard.

  He was not wearing his own clothes, nor did he take off his brown leather jacket. Instead, he was wearing brand new clothes. Recognizing that he was wearing Fang Yusheng’s clothes, Qiao Jiusheng was a little surprised. “We only went for a walk. What did you guys do at home? You even changed your clothes.”


  When she said this, Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Yusheng and asked.

  Fang Yusheng was speechless.

  “Your words are very ambiguous, benefactor.” Fang Yusheng’s eyes were filled with a mischievous smile.

  Qiao Jiusheng recalled her words carefully and realized that they were indeed quite easy to misunderstand.

  Wei Shuyi walked over and said, “I had a horse race with Mr. Fang and fell. My clothes were dirty, so I changed.” The Fang family had bought two horses some time ago, one big and two small.

  Falling from a horse explained why he had changed his clothes and why he was pale and his forehead was a little swollen.

  When they heard that he had fallen from the horse, Beauty Wu and Qiao Jiusheng were shocked.

  “Is it serious?”


  Fang Yusheng interrupted the sound and said, “It’s not serious. He hit his head and fell on his back. He might have some mild abdominal pain and back pain for the time being but it’s nothing serious.” When Fang Yusheng said this, even Wei Shuyi’s small movements of massaging his abdomen from time to time were explained.

  Wei Shuyi looked at Fang Yusheng gratefully.

  Fang Yusheng looked away.

  “Then don’t stand. Sit down.”


  After Wei Shuyi sat down, Beauty Wu opened the shopping bag and showed Wei Shuyi the clothes. “Look, is this jacket okay?”


  It was a dark denim jacket.

  Ever since Beauty Wu had seen Wei Shuyi in a denim jacket last time, she had always wanted to change his dressing style. Today, she immediately took a fancy to this denim jacket and bought it without a word. Wei Shuyi stared at the jacket and smiled gently. “Very good, I like it very much.”


  Beauty Wu added, “I originally wanted to buy you another windbreaker, but you can only wear it in late autumn. I thought that since you can’t wear it now, it’s not worth it to buy it for you. I’ll bring you to the store to take a look someday. If you like it, we’ll buy it. You can wear it when it’s cold.”


  When the weather turned cold…


  Many years ago, that failed surgery made Xi’an a place that Chen Jingxi could not reach. Now, ‘waiting for the weather to turn cold’ became a tomorrow that Wei Shuyi could never wait for.

  Beauty Wu realized that Wei Shuyi was distracted and was a little unhappy. She pulled his arm and asked him, “What are you thinking about?”


  Wei Shuyi said naturally, “I rarely wear denim. I’m worried that I won’t look good in it.”


  “No, you won’t. You look good. You look good in anything.”


  “…Alright.”


  After dinner, Qiao Jiusheng invited Wei Shuyi to stay over at her house.

  She thought that Wei Shuyi would reject her, but to his surprise, he accepted it.

  Qiao Jiusheng was naturally overjoyed that he was willing to stay.

  She helped them get clean pajamas. After the couple showered, Qiao Jiusheng knocked on their door. “Brother Wei, and Sister Beauty, if you’re not tired, shall we sit at the courtyard?”


  “Okay.” Wei Shuyi replied.

  The three of them walked to the courtyard and saw Fang Yusheng waiting.

  Fang Yusheng was dressed in formal clothes tonight.

  He was wearing a sapphire blue velvet embroidered suit, looking luxurious and elegant. Fang Yusheng stood in the pavilion with a cup of tea in his hand and was looking at the canal in the middle of the courtyard. The canal emitted the sound of flowing water, and one could tell that Fang Yusheng was in a daze.

  When Wei Shuyi and the rest arrived at the courtyard, Fang Yusheng turned around.

  Even though she had been enchanted by this person’s handsome and noble face countless times, every time she saw him, her eyes would always light up in surprise.

  “Sit.”


  Fang Yusheng sat down first.

  Qiao Jiusheng sat down beside him.

  There were dried fruits, and some green plum wine on the small table.

  Wei Shuyi looked at the wine and couldn’t help but take a sip. “It’s delicious.”


  Seeing this, Beauty Wu also poured a cup.

  “It’s refreshing, sour, and sweet. It’s really delicious. Mr. Fang, where did you buy this wine?”


  Fang Yusheng said, “Fang Village.”


  Beauty Wu’s smile froze. “Where is that?”


  Wei Shuyi suddenly remembered that when he met Zhuang Long last time, he had asked him if he knew about Fang Village. He asked. “Is Fang Village very famous?” Why had he never heard of it?

  Qiao Jiusheng cast a blaming look at Fang Yusheng before saying to Beauty Wu and the rest, “Fang Village is Aunt Jin’s hometown in the countryside. It’s called Fang Village. The green plum wine they made themselves is really delicious.”


  “I see.”


  Fang Yusheng, who had always valued health, suddenly poured himself a cup of green plum wine.

  He raised his wine glass and, under Qiao Jiusheng’s surprised gaze, said to Wei Shuyi and the rest opposite him, “This glass of wine is to eternal friendship.” As he spoke, he stared at Fang Yusheng meaningfully.

  If you die, we will help look after your lover.

  If you live, our friendship will last.

  Wei Shuyi understood the meaning in Fang Yusheng’s eyes.

  He also raised his glass and clinked it with Fang Yusheng’s. His lips touched and he said two words silently—


  “Thank you.”


  That night, they drank a lot and talked a lot.

  Fang Yusheng was the worst at drinking. After all, he had not drunk for many years. He only drank two glasses and could not take it anymore.

  He felt a little dizzy and stopped drinking no matter what Fang Yusheng said.

  He was a little drunk and asked Qiao Jiusheng to bring his violin over nervously.

  Qiao Jiusheng wanted to see what kind of joke he would become. He really ran to the violin room, found his violin and stood on the small bridge over the canal. He was arrogant and unrestrained. If not for his good looks, his expression would have been quite annoying.

  He placed the violin on his shoulder and stared at the clear water in the ditch below him for a long time. Just as Qiao Jiusheng, Wei Shuyi, and the rest thought that Fang Yusheng was going to play haphazardly, he played a sad and touching tune.

  Qiao Jiusheng had never heard this song.

  However, Wei Shuyi found it a little familiar. When he was seriously ill in the second year of middle school, he had been obsessed with Japanese anime culture. During that time, he had listened to a lot of Japanese music. This tune was titled “Friend”.

  Friend.

  It was an old song from the Japanese music industry, and one of the classic songs of Koji Tamaki.

  Wei Shuyi could still remember the lyrics.
