Three years ago, when Fang Yan was still the language teacher and homeroom teacher of Class 9, there were often students who invited Fang Yan to birthday parties. Fang Yan rejected most of them, but when he couldn't refuse, he would go and give them a small gift.
Life was simple and happy at that time, and his mood was relaxed.
Fang Yan was still a child who hadn't grown up yet, and there were countless people who loved and spoiled him.
Three years later, things were different. He was no longer a teacher at Rosefinch Secondary, but he became a security guard at Rosefinch Secondary to protect the safety of the students.
He didn't have the mood to be a teacher anymore. He was worried that the hostility in his heart would be released and lead the students who were crazily absorbing knowledge and nutrition.
He didn't expect that there would still be girls who invited him to a birthday party. Inviting a security guard? Wasn't this clearly asking him to go to those luxurious and magnificent places to show off?
Fang Yan's first reaction was to refuse. He had too many things to do. Was it necessary for him to go to a student's birthday party? Moreover, it was a female student who was obviously very interested in him. Please, Rosefinch Secondary forbade relationships between teachers and students. Fang Yan wasn't that kind of person at all.
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was about to refuse, Su Qi spoke first.
She was still smiling as she looked at Fang Yan sincerely and said, "Mr. Fang, if you could come, it would be the best birthday present I've received —"
"—" This sentence was too destructive. It immediately blocked the words that Fang Yan was about to say.
Your coming is the best present she's received. Can you bear not to give someone a present on their birthday? Can you bear to ruin someone's happy mood?
"I'm free tomorrow too —" Baldy touched his bald head and said with a smile, "Su Qi, can I have the honor to go to your birthday party?"
"Of course." Su Qi nodded. She even invited the other two security guards and said, "You guys can go together. Let me introduce some friends to you. There's good wine to drink and cakes to eat. "
"Wow, can we go to your birthday party too?"
"That's great. Tomorrow, I'm going to wear the new suit I bought during the New Year —"
Fang Yan hadn't agreed yet, but the other three had already accepted.
Su Qi looked at Fang Yan with bright eyes, quietly waiting for Fang Yan's answer in anticipation.
Fang Yan looked at Su Qi and said with a chuckle, "Happy birthday, Su Qi. However, I already have other arrangements tomorrow, so I might not be able to make it. "
The smile on Su Qi's face disappeared and she said with some regret, "It's really disappointing. Mr Fang, though you have already refused me, I still hope that you will go, because-because there is someone who wishes to see you. "
"Who?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
"I should have told you." Su Qi smiled slyly and said, "But you rejected me just now, which made me very sad. So, I'm not going to tell you. You'll know when you see for yourself. In other words, if you don't go tomorrow, you'll never know who the person who wishes to see you is. Everyone is curious. You must be very curious right now, right? "
Fang Yan looked at Su Qi helplessly and said, "If I really don't go, won't you ruin someone else's business?"
"I don't care." Su Qi said matter-of-factly. "I'm injured, can't I throw a tantrum? That's for women. "
She took out a few invitations from her bag and placed them on the only wooden table in the security booth. She said, "There's an address on the invitations. I'm looking forward to your coming —"
After that, the girl skipped away.
Baldy looked at Fang Yan with a sad face and said, "Mr Fang, Su Qi has good intentions. Why didn't you agree?"
Fang Yan looked at Baldy with a smile and said, "What? She bought you over just because she invited you to a concert? "
"Hey, am I that kind of person?" Baldy said with a wave of his hand. He then asked Fang Yan in a low voice, "When will Arisaema come to Huacheng to hold a concert again?"
"I don't know about that," Fang Yan said. "I haven't contacted them for a long time."
Fang Yan hadn't contacted the two girls, Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin, recently. First, he was injured and recuperating on the mountain. At that time, he didn't even know where he lost his phone. Later, after getting someone to get a new SIM card, he didn't reply in time when he received inquiries from them. With the promotion of Summer's resources, the two girls became more and more popular and were liked by more and more people. Every time Fang Yan opened the newspaper, he could see all kinds of information about them. They said that Jiang Qin was in a relationship with a male celebrity, that Yuan Lin and Jiang Qin were lesbians, that Jiang Qin was going to enter the film industry again, and that Arisaema was going to disband — all kinds of rumors made people dizzy.
Fang Yan laughed at such rumors. He knew that Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin had a very good relationship. They were good in the past, and they would be good in the future.
Moreover, even if they had a conflict, Summer would solve it well. She was a smart woman.
Baldy's face was full of regret. He said, "I really want to have a chance to go to their concert again. Mr. Fang, can you get me an autograph from Arisaema?"
Fang Yan looked at him helplessly and said, "Can't you have something else to pursue in life?"
"Then come with us to Su Qi's birthday party. The girl specially came to invite you — "
"Yes, Mr. Fang, during the days when you were not at school, every time she came to school and passed by our security booth, she would ask if you came —"
"Rain or shine, how many days has she persisted? I was touched by her — "
Fang Yan sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, I can't go. It's better to avoid trouble. "
After school in the afternoon, Fang Yan didn't rush back to Lu Chaoge's villa, but walked to the area inside the school.
When Fang Yan walked to the entrance of the small courtyard, he saw Qin Ying and a few men in black from the Wind Group sitting in the RV at the entrance, playing poker. Qin Ying's face was pasted with a lot of notes. It seemed that his luck was not very good today.
Fang Yan stood at the door of the RV and asked with a smile, "Why don't you go in and sit?"
"I don't dare to go in." Qin Ying shook his head.
"Why?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
Qin Ying tore off the notes on his face, looked at Fang Yan and said, "When you were not in Huacheng, we often accompanied Miss Lu here — the first time we came, we didn't know that your grandfather was Huacheng's famous academic Prime Minister Lu Gong. When I saw this old man, I felt my whole body tremble and every part of me felt uncomfortable. After I found out his identity, I didn't dare to step into his small courtyard anymore. "
"Me too. Maybe it's because I didn't study well when I was young. When your grandfather glanced at me, my whole body would tremble — as if I had done something wrong. "
"Hehe, it's better not to let us go in and suffer. We'd rather play poker in the RV comfortably — "
Fang Yan patted the car door and said, "Alright, I'll bring you some food later."
"No need. We brought our own food. "Qin Ying refused.
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "How can that be? When you come to my grandparents' house, you're my guests. How can you let your guests eat canned food and beef jerky? "
Qin Ying laughed and said, "Alright, if there's any extra, you can bring us a plate. We can also improve our lives."
"No problem."
Fang Yan chatted with the young people for a while before stepping into the courtyard.
Lu Gong was watching the afternoon news in the living room. When he saw Fang Yan come in, he only snorted coldly. He didn't even look at him.
Fang Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, are you watching the news?"
Lu Gong's face was gloomy and he didn't respond to Fang Yan.
Fang Yan's grandmother heard the noise and walked out of the kitchen. She grabbed Fang Yan's arm and said, "Fang Yan, you've been back in Huacheng for so long, and you didn't come to see your grandparents — grandma missed you so much. Good boy, let grandma see if you've lost weight. You look good, which proves that Zhaoge has taken good care of you — "
"Grandma, I'm sorry —" Fang Yan said these words with difficulty. Facing his closest family, he had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them.
"Silly boy, what have you done to me?" Grandma held Fang Yan's hand tightly and said, "I know you're in a bad mood, so I didn't call you. Let bygones be bygones. You have to be good in the future — "
As she spoke, grandma's eyes turned red and she said, "You're the only one your mom can rely on. You have to be careful."
Lu Gong was infuriated. He slapped the table and shouted, "What are you crying for? Isn't he still alive and well? "
Grandma was also angry and said, "You old man, when Fang Yan didn't come, you sighed every day and hinted to me to call him and ask him to come over for dinner. Now that Fang Yan is here, you put on a sour face and don't say anything — what do you mean? Why are you slapping the table? If you can, why don't you smash the table? "
"You —"
"What about me?"
"Stupid woman. Stupid as hell. "
"Oh, you're saying I'm stupid now that you're old? You call me a stupid woman. Go find someone smarter — "
Lu Chaoge appeared at the kitchen door and said anxiously, "Grandma, the chicken wings are burning —"
"Oh, I'm still cooking in the pot. Fang Yan, take a seat first. Ignore that old man —" As he spoke, he jogged into the kitchen.
Lu Chaoge gave Fang Yan a look, telling him that the situation was dangerous and that he should be careful.
Lu Gong gave Fang Yan a sharp look and said, "Come upstairs with me."
Fang Yan felt a headache coming on. As soon as he entered his grandfather's study, he would inevitably be reprimanded and lectured.
