raging fire meets warm sun

"I want to call my parents to announce the good news!" Cheng Enxing said excitedly, turned around and picked up the mobile phone on the bed, but after the call was dialed, no one answered for a long time, the smile on Cheng Enxing's face gradually faded, and even his eyes dimmed three points , murmured, "No one answered."

Xia Fangyu quickly comforted her, "It's not yet dawn in the United States, and they will call you back when they see the call."

Cheng Enxing nodded, I hope, but this does not affect her very happy mood today.

It was around six o'clock in the evening, and Xia Fangyu was about to go out to participate in the evening family dinner. Cheng Enxing was lying on the bed with one leg crossed, and did not intend to go together. After all, he was not their family, nor did he know their relatives. , It's embarrassing to be speechless.

While playing with his mobile phone, he heard the sound of Mr. Xia cleaning up outside. Cheng Enxing's heart was not calm, and he felt chaotic.

"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

Cheng Enxing got up and opened the door. Outside the door stood a well-groomed Teacher Xia. It could be seen that she had specially put on a beautiful makeup, "I'm going out, do you want to come with me?"

No, I'm not going.

Cheng Enxing answered in his heart that this was the case, but why did he actually say the opposite?

"Okay, let me clean up first."

"I'll wait for you outside the door." Xia Fangyu said.

He quickly dug out the clothes in the closet, picked out the one he was most satisfied with, and changed into it. He quickly stood in front of the mirror to touch up his makeup, took his mobile phone and went out to find Teacher Xia.

Xia Fangyu sized her up from head to toe. With such a short skirt and a jacket with a low neckline, she asked politely, "Are you cold?"

"Miss Xia, you are joking again, it is summer now, over 30 degrees."

Cheng Enxing's naked height is usually three to five centimeters taller than Xia Fangyu's. Today she is wearing a pair of mid-heeled high heels, which is much taller than Xia Fangyu who wears flat shoes.

Cheng Enxing walked behind when he went downstairs, and asked curiously, "Mr. Xia, why have you never seen you wearing high heels?"

"I can't wear it by car." Xia Fangyu's reply was also very simple.

After a while, Xia Fangyu asked, "You are eighteen now, right?"

"Hmm! It just turned up last month."

"Then you can learn a driver's license, and it will be convenient for you to drive yourself wherever you go in the future." Xia Fangyu said.

Cheng Enxing laughed, "My family is in this situation, even if I have a driver's license, I still don't have a car to drive."

"Che Nu will always have something if he works hard, won't he?"

"Teacher, what you said makes sense." Cheng Enxing echoed, and pouted, thinking, can someone like her really buy a car by herself.

I despise those who are too bad, and those who are a little better are like astronomical figures for her family's current conditions, and it seems that her family is still carrying foreign debts that have not been paid off.

Phew... so hard.

It was getting late, and the city roads were lit up with street lights. Xia Fangyu grabbed the steering wheel and drove, and suddenly laughed, "I thought you wouldn't go with me."

"Ah? Haha, right?" Cheng Enxing smiled concealedly. She didn't know what was going on, and she obviously didn't plan to go, but her brain agreed without thinking, "I'm a follower."

It happened to be exactly seven o'clock when we arrived at the destination. Xia Fangyu parked the car, and someone came out to greet him before he entered the door.

"Isn't this Fang Yu? Long time no see."

The vigorous looking man in his early thirties in front of him was Xia Fangyu's second cousin, Fan Zhifei, the son of his second aunt, and one of the protagonists of today's dinner party.

"Long time no see, cousin." Xia Fangyu greeted politely.

"This is..." Fan Zhifei turned his eyes to Cheng Enxing who was beside him, curious.

Before Xia Fangyu could introduce him, Cheng Enxing had already introduced himself, "My name is Cheng Enxing."

"My friend's child is temporarily staying with me, so I brought it along with me." Xia Fangyu hastily added.

Fan Zhifei nodded knowingly immediately, and Xia Fangyu asked again, "Where's my cousin?"

"It's inside, and the child is also inside, go in quickly." Fan Zhifei hurriedly said enthusiastically.

In a large private room in the hotel, when the door was opened, a room full of people came into view, all of whom Cheng Enxing did not know. Oh no, to be precise, there were two people inside that he had met before. They are Teacher Xia's parents.

"It's Fang Yu who's here, and she's getting more and more beautiful!"

"Come and sit here!"

"Why did you bring a little beauty here?"

"..."

When Xu Jing saw Xia Fangyu was still taking Cheng Enxing's face down, she hurriedly took her by the arm and whispered, "You come here whenever you come, what do you bring an outsider to, this is our family's dinner."

Xia Fangyu quickly explained, "It doesn't matter if I'm gone and she doesn't have dinner at home alone."

"How can it work? It has a lot to do with it."

Seeing this, Xia Minghui quickly came out to make a rescue, "It's just a child, and it doesn't affect anything. Let's all sit down."

"Come on, sit next to me." Xia Fangyu helped Cheng Enxing pull out the chair. As soon as Cheng Enxing sat down, the relatives at the table started booing.

"Who is this little girl? I haven't been introduced yet."

"My friend's child is temporarily staying with me during this time, so I brought it with me for dinner." Xia Fangyu said with a smile, and did not forget to add, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."

"What's your name, girl." Xia Fangyu's second uncle asked.

"Cheng Enxing." Cheng Enxing replied without restraint and grace.

The second aunt also hurriedly said, "This kid looks really iconic, isn't he, so cute."

Cheng Enxing smiled embarrassedly after hearing this.

The last group of people came one after another. The last one to arrive was Xia Fangyu's uncle's family, who was also the most prestigious person in their family. Her father was the second child. There were two younger sisters, one older brother, and four siblings.

There was also a boy who came with him. He was the youngest son of Uncle Xia Fangyu.

"Xia Ziran, are you calling me yet?" Following the uncle's roar, the boy reluctantly greeted all the elders present, and quickly pulled away the chair and sat down.

"Xia Ziran, which school did you apply for in the college entrance examination?" Xia Minghui asked with concern.

"The Academy of Fine Arts." The boy replied in a low voice, his expression seemed to be wandering away.

As soon as he heard the word Academy of Fine Arts, Cheng Enxing's heart immediately lifted, the world is so small, and here you can meet future alumni.

"I remember, Cheng...Cheng Enxing seems to have applied to the Academy of Fine Arts too." Xia Minghui turned his head and asked.

Xia Fangyu nodded to confirm, and then said, "I have received the notice today." He was quite proud in his words.

"Really, that's really gratifying." Xia Minghui grinned from ear to ear, "Xia Ziran, here is an alumnus of yours to come, let's get to know him soon."

After being reminded, Xia Ziran, who had always been absent-minded and unwilling to be indifferent, finally raised his head, and only then caught a glimpse of Cheng Enxing who had been ignored by him since entering the door. Since then, he was unwilling to take his eyes off her.

Cheng Enxing doesn't like being stared at by strangers like this, she finds it very impolite.

"Why don't you dare to say hello, this brat is actually embarrassed hahahaha."

The adults on the table were all laughing. Cheng Enxing felt ashamed and flustered. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the white tablecloth. She could feel that only Teacher Xia beside her was not smiling at this moment.

"By the way, did Fang Yu find a partner? This Zhifei, who is the same age as her, has already had a baby." A relative at the table asked curiously.

"Isn't that still true? I am more anxious than anyone else as a mother." When Xu Jing talked about this topic, she felt jealous.

"Fang Yu, what do you think? It's hard for a woman to find a partner after she's over thirty." The other party asked again.

Cheng Enxing turned his head to Teacher Xia, wondering how she would answer.

"This kind of thing can't be forced, it still depends on fate." Xia Fangyu replied calmly.

When Xu Jing heard this, she became anxious, "You are already 30 years old and still waiting for fate. If fate never comes, wouldn't you have to wait until you are 40 years old?"

Cheng Enxing didn't quite agree with Teacher Xia's mother's words, and couldn't help interjecting, "A woman is 40 years old... she is not considered old."

After finishing speaking, Xia Fangyu quietly turned to her and whispered, "Thank you."

At that moment, Cheng Enxing felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Fang Yu, your mother is right. This society is very cruel, especially for us women. Even if their men reach 45, they can still find a 20-year-old wife, but our women are different. When we reach 45, you can only find a divorced old man of the same age."

Xia Fangyu had expected this to happen a long time ago, as soon as she showed up at a relative's gathering, forced marriage would always be an indispensable topic.

"If you don't meet, you won't get married, and life doesn't have to be married to be complete." Xia Fangyu was refuted by a group of relatives as soon as she finished saying this, saying that she should change her current concept , a woman's life will be very hard, especially when you are old, and the life of a woman who does not have children is not complete...etc.

Cheng Enxing felt that his three views were shocked!

Because her family has few relatives, they haven't had much contact with each other in recent years. Naturally, they have never experienced this. Today, I came to see Teacher Xia and completely blinded her eyes. What is this all about?All of them are morally kidnapped in the name of love, how people like to live and how they live, what are they worrying about, of course, on the outside, Cheng Enxing still maintains a dignified sitting, and complains violently in his heart.

It's just... Does Teacher Xia really think so in her heart? Does she never want to get married in her life?

Just as Cheng Enxing was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a gaze staring at her from across the table, which she had been coveting for a long time.
