"Miss me?" Qin Yuchuan asked.
Feng Qingyi replied, "I wanted to see you a little."
"Alright, wait for me," Qin Yuchuan responded.
Feng Qingyi nodded happily, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Qingyi tidied up her slightly messy hair and ran downstairs to the living room to wait for him.
Feng Qingyi had only been sitting in the living room for a short while when she heard a knock at the door.
Feng Qingyi was puzzled as to how he had suddenly arrived outside.
When she opened the door, Feng Qingyi instead saw Feng Qingci, Feng Zhixing, and Nan Yin.
"Mom, Dad, why are you here?"
Feng Qingyi looked at Feng Qingci, who had no particular expression.
Feng Zhixing asked, "When did you two move out to live here?"
Feng Qingyi replied, "...Just this semester."
Nan Yin said, "Why didn't you tell us you moved out?"
"You've always been busy, so I didn't have time to tell you. Besides, it's not a big deal. I'm with my brother, so there's no danger," Feng Qingyi explained.
Feng Zhixing said, "Alright, let's all go inside and sit down."
Feng Qingyi stepped aside to let Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin enter first.
Feng Qingyi pulled Feng Qingci aside, "Did you say anything to Mom and Dad?"
Feng Qingci shook his head, "I only said we moved out. I didn't say anything else."
"Okay, let's go in then!"
Feng Qingyi remembered that she had just asked Qin Yuchuan to come over, which was clearly not appropriate in the current situation.
If he suddenly appeared in the living room, it would scare everyone to death.
Feng Qingyi quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Qin Yuchuan.
[Qingyi: Are you here yet?]
[Qingyi: My parents suddenly arrived. Come over later.]
[Yuchuan: ...]
[Qingyi: What's wrong?]
[Yuchuan: I'm already here.]
[Qingyi: Where are you now?]
[Yuchuan: In your room.]
[Qingyi: That's fine then. Don't make any noise. I'll come up to find you later. My parents probably won't stay overnight.]
[Yuchuan: Okay.]
Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin sat down on the sofa.
Nan Yin looked around at the decor: "This house must be quite expensive, right?"
Feng Qingyi said, "It's alright."
"Qingyi, were you unhappy living at school? I remember you saying before that you got along well with your roommates," Nan Yin asked.
Feng Qingyi shook her head, "No, I wasn't unhappy. I'm learning to play the guqin this year, and it's not very convenient in the dorm."
"Guqin? Why did you suddenly decide to learn the guqin?" Nan Yin asked.
Feng Qingyi: "I saw it online and thought it was impressive, so I decided to learn it."
"That's quite nice. I'm planning to include a classical-style song in my new album, and we could incorporate the guqin. You could play it when the time comes," Nan Yin said.
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Alright, just let me know when. But I haven't been learning for long."
Nan Yin: "It's fine. I have work in the Capital City during this period, so I'll come pick you up then."
Feng Zhixing interrupted their conversation, "This house must not be cheap to rent, right?"
Feng Qingyi and Feng Qingci exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Ten thousand yuan a month."
Feng Zhixing thought for a moment, "Ten thousand yuan a month for renting this villa? Are you dreaming?"
Feng Qingyi: "...It really is ten thousand yuan."
"Then give me the landlord's phone number. I want to ask which fool would rent it out at that price," Feng Zhixing said.
Feng Qingci said, "She rented this house. I only moved in later."
Feng Zhixing: "Qingyi, tell me where you rented this house from."
"This house belongs to Qin Yuchuan. He doesn't live here, so we're staying here," Feng Qingyi said quietly.
Feng Zhixing: "You're not even married yet, do you think it's appropriate to live in his house?"
"She also received a big box of gold from him," Feng Qingci added fuel to the fire.
Feng Qingyi glared fiercely at Feng Qingci. If she had known, she would have taken back those two pieces of gold. So much for loyalty.
Feng Zhixing looked at Feng Qingyi, "What gold?"
"A box of gold ingots, a whole big box," Feng Qingci said.
Feng Qingyi really wanted to kick him. Wasn't this just adding oil to the fire?
Nan Yin asked, "Qingyi, why did Yuchuan give you gold?"
"...I don't know either. Maybe he thought gold was more valuable." That was clearly gold she had earned herself.
Feng Zhixing: "You're still just boyfriend and girlfriend, not married yet. Don't accept such expensive things from him."
"This is too much. You're living in his house and accepting his gold!"
Nan Yin said, "Didn't you accept his teapot? These are all gestures of Yuchuan's sincerity. We'll all be family in the future anyway. What's wrong with accepting some gold? Later we can have Qingyi give him a box of diamonds in return."
Feng Zhixing: "...What would a grown man want with diamonds?"
Nan Yin: "If not diamonds, then send some jade. We can afford it, so why quibble over such things?"
"When you were pursuing me in the past, you sent jewelry and designer bags. I didn't want to accept them, but you cried and said I didn't take you seriously. Now what's wrong with Yuchuan sending Qingyi gold?"
Feng Zhixing: "That's not the same thing! Don't change the subject!"
Nan Yin: "Alright, what's done is done. There's no use saying more now. We just came to check on them today. It's getting late, so we should head back."
"Qingyi, Qingci, you two get some rest. Your dad and I will go back to the hotel now. We have an announcement to make in the morning. We'll be in the Capital City for a while, so let's have a meal together when we have time."
"Okay, bye!" Feng Qingyi saw them to the door, then hurriedly ran back to her room.
When she opened the door, Feng Qingyi saw Qin Yuchuan sitting on the sofa.
He had always liked to wear dark-colored clothes, and today was no exception.
"Have your parents left?" he asked.
Feng Qingyi walked to his side, "Mm-hmm."
Qin Yuchuan stood up, "Did you have fun today?"
"It was alright. I got into a fight with someone though."
Although she hadn't really had much to do, she had still managed to kick them a couple of times.
"A fight? Were you hurt?" Qin Yuchuan looked Feng Qingyi over.
Feng Qingyi shook her head, "Ling He rushed in front. I just threw in a couple of punches."
"Who upset you?" In his impression, Qingyi was never one to start trouble.
Feng Qingyi tugged on Qin Yuchuan's sleeve, "It was that Shangguan Yi. He's always causing me trouble for no reason and slandering me."
Qin Yuchuan pulled Feng Qingyi into his arms, "I understand. I'm sorry you were wronged. It won't happen again."
His dealings with Shangguan Yi had never been straightforward to begin with. Now there was no need to give him face anymore. He would have to send word to Qin Yi about this.
Feng Qingyi hugged Qin Yuchuan's waist, "I was just very angry at the time, so Ling He and I beat them up. Then I wasn't angry anymore."
Qin Yuchuan's hand rested on Feng Qingyi's head, "It's my fault."
