The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 124: Fight! Fight!
Friday, October 8th.

On the first day after the National Day holiday, Su Gengsheng did not fly back to Beijing immediately, but decided to stay here and spend a day with her best friend.

Last night, the two of them ate and slept together as they did in the past. This morning, they went to an art exhibition. Huang Yimei had class in the afternoon, so Su Gengsheng accompanied her to class.

These are all normal things for good friends and besties to do, but there was a slight sense of weirdness in both of them.

"I must be overthinking it!"

The two of them thought of the same thing at the same time.

After class in the afternoon, Huang Yimei took Su Gengsheng for a walk in the school. When it was almost evening, he was ready to go back with her to cook for himself.

At this time, the phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Senior Fang calling.

After taking a look at Su Gengsheng next to her, Huang Yimei answered the phone.

"Hey, what's up, Senior?"

"Mr. Huang, we didn't talk for long yesterday and then parted ways. I wanted to ask if you are free today? I'll treat you to a meal."

"take me Out to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yimei glanced at Su Gengsheng beside her, thinking that she still wanted to go home and cook for Su Su!
When Su Gengsheng saw Huang Yimei looking at him while she was on the phone, he quietly paid attention to this side.

Huang Yimei hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Ha, I'm afraid I don't have time today. I have to accompany my friends."

Fang Xiewen on the other end of the phone thought for a second and then continued:
"It's okay, we are friends too. If your friend doesn't mind, you can ask her to come over. Your friends are my friends!"

"..."

Zhuang Guodong is also my friend. Don’t you treat him as a friend?

Huang Yimei thought so in her heart but didn't say it. She was still prepared to continue to reject Senior Fang, but at this time Su Gengsheng stopped her.

Huang Yimei subconsciously covered her phone and held it away, then whispered to her bestie:
"what happened?"

Su Gengsheng pointed at his phone and whispered, "Who wants to treat you to a meal?"

"A friend, he's my senior, he just graduated this year, he was my colleague when I worked part-time in the beer house."

Su Gengsheng had met Fang Xiewen when he came to Shanghai to look for Huang Yimei last year, but they didn't talk much and he didn't know that the other party had feelings for Huang Yimei.

But if she didn't understand now, she would be a fool.

Su Gengsheng's heart sank, and he felt that he needed to defend his...best friend!

So she asked again: "Did you refuse?"

Huang Yimei nodded and said, "I refused. I want to accompany you, but he said that if you don't mind, he would invite you to eat with him. I think forget it. You are leaving tomorrow, so we can just go home and eat by ourselves..."

"Why forget it? I don't mind!" Before Huang Yimei finished speaking, Su Gengsheng agreed directly.

It is because I am leaving tomorrow that I should meet this disgusting man who is targeting my best friend in advance!
"..."

Huang Yimei was stunned for a moment. Why did someone else have to join their happy world of two?

But before she could think about it, Su Gengsheng urged her, "Hurry up and talk to them. Don't keep them waiting. I'm OK."

"Oh, okay..." Huang Yimei nodded quickly and took the phone back. Sure enough, Fang Xiewen's "Hello, hello" came from the other end.

"Senior, I just told my friend and she agreed to have dinner with me."

"Really? That's great!" Fang Xiewen was originally anxious about the silence on the other end of the phone, but now he smiled happily when he heard these words.

So he continued cheerfully, "Then I'll send you the address, and you can bring your friends over later!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiewen excitedly made an empty-handed fadeaway jump shot on the side of the road.

In addition to treating Huang Xuemei to a meal, he also treated Huang Xuemei's friends to a meal in order to continue to maintain a good relationship.

And just now he heard that Huang Xuemei originally wanted to accompany her friends and rejected him, but Huang Xuemei’s friend directly agreed to come for dinner. What does this mean?
This shows that this friend has a certain position in Huang Xuemei's heart and can influence her decision. Moreover, the other party took the initiative to agree to come for dinner, which shows that this friend also supports Huang Xuemei's relationship.

Then, if we round it off a little, and think boldly, this friend of Xuemei Huang might take the initiative to match me and Xuemei Huang together!

Be good later!
On the other hand, Su Gengsheng was not so happy.

It is simply wishful thinking that another bad man is harassing my best friend.

Su Gengsheng didn’t think that the uncomfortable feeling he had just felt after hearing the news was due to jealousy. He was simply concerned about his best friend.

As Huang Yimei's best friend, Su Gengsheng believes that it is his obligation to keep an eye on her!

Keep fighting!
...In the evening, Fang Xiewen hesitated for a long time and decided to have dinner at a high-end restaurant not far from Fudan University.

The normal consumption here is roughly equivalent to his income for nearly half a month.

Although he was reluctant, Fang Xiewen felt it was necessary to spend the money.

After all, we are inviting Huang Xuemei and her friends to dinner, so we can’t appear insincere.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to spend tens of thousands of dollars just for a meal. Not to mention that his financial situation didn't support it, Huang Xuemei would also have a bad impression of him if she saw him pretending to be rich.

He had told Huang Xuemei about his family situation at the beginning.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Xiewen was poor in the original drama only relative to other characters in the drama.

If we look at it from the perspective of a student who is still in school or has just graduated, Fang Xiewen actually has some money.

In the original drama, Huang Yimei rented an attic upstairs, with a deposit of 1,500 yuan and a payment of 6%. His own house downstairs is even better, with a monthly rent of about 2,000 yuan, also requiring a deposit of 1,600 yuan and a payment of 6%. After selling some belongings at the school's second-hand market, he should have more than 20,000 or nearly 30,000 yuan in cash on hand.

Now that Fang Xiewen didn't have to rent a house for Huang Yime, he saved the money. In addition, he continued to work part-time and help with projects, as well as the belongings he sold after graduation and the salary of the past few months, Boss Fang's savings have exceeded 50,000!

The money is not much, but it is enough to support a high-end meal that I have never tried before!
Especially now he also needs to gradually change the impression that he is still poor in front of Huang Xuemei.

We, Xie Wen, have worked hard and are beginning to reap rewards and have hope!

Of course, the main reason was that what Zhuang Guodong had said to him about the star-rated dinner and the roadside stall was too stimulating to him.

He can be outdone by the other party in the past, but he can’t be outdone forever!
Change the impression that you are a street vendor, starting today!

……

In the restaurant, when Huang Yimei brought Su Gengsheng to the box, Fang Xiewen was already waiting there.

Fang Xiewen was relieved when he saw that the friend next to Huang Xuemei was indeed a girl.

How could Huang Xuemei still have male friends!
He stood up and welcomed her with a smile: "Mr. Huang, please take a seat. Is this the friend you went to pick up yesterday? Welcome, welcome."

Huang Yimei smiled and nodded, and briefly introduced the two people: "Senior Fang, this is Su Su, my best friend. Su Su, this is Senior Fang."

Then Su Gengsheng smiled faintly and nodded to greet him: "Hello, Su Gengsheng."

Fang Xiewen also politely replied: "Hello, my name is Fang Xiewen. By the way, Miss Su, we have met before. It was last year at the beer house. I also worked there part-time."

Su Gengsheng pretended to remember this at this time: "Oh~ Yes, I remember now, Rose said that she has a very enthusiastic senior here, and it's you~"

Huang Yimei looked at Su Gengsheng strangely. Didn’t she tell Su Su about this before she came?
Su Gengsheng certainly knew about this, but because of some weird thoughts that she didn't want to admit, she subconsciously wanted to suppress him in terms of momentum.

After the three of them chatted and laughed briefly and sat down, Huang Yimei asked first:
"Senior Fang, why did you want to treat me to a meal? And choosing a place like this, it must be a bit expensive, right?"

She didn't look down on Fang Xiewen, she was just thinking about him. And even for her, with the financial support of her brother and two wealthy sisters-in-law, she wouldn't spend so much on every meal.

She knew Fang Xiewen's situation. He had been working part-time to pay for his studies before graduation and has only been working for a short time. This amount of money must be a large sum for him.

This doesn't fit with Senior Fang's previous image. Could it be that he started spending money lavishly right after graduation?
Thinking of this, Huang Yimei frowned.

But Fang Xiewen smiled and explained: "Mr. Huang, it's okay. I have a stable job now, and I don't have many friends in Shanghai. I can still afford to treat you to a meal this time. But if I treat you to a meal again in the future, I guess I can only go to a small restaurant."

Then he added: "But don't worry, when I really make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely come to places like this often to treat you to meals!"

Huang Yimei's frown disappeared upon hearing this, and she smiled, "It's okay, I'm not that picky, so let this meal be a celebration of your stable job!"

"Hahaha, let's order first!"

As the dishes came up one by one, Fang Xiewen gritted his teeth and asked them if they wanted to order more wine. As expected, they both refused, so they switched to drinks.

Although he was not familiar with Su Gengsheng, Fang Xiewen did not forget his mission and tried his best to gradually move the conversation from simple greetings to a slightly heated one.

Fortunately, he has been continuously learning about art, whether it was visiting exhibitions or collecting relevant information and memorizing it. After spending nearly a year studying, Fang Xiewen can now talk about art normally with the other party.

After knowing that Su Gengsheng was engaged in artistic work, Fang Xiewen specifically praised him as an art lover.

Just like in the original drama, when he went to the capital to meet Huang's father and mother, he talked about literature with Huang's father and cooking with Huang's mother.

The two elders were made to smile happily.

Although Huang's father later felt that Fang Xiewen was a bit deliberate, and his words and actions were flawless, as if he was disguising himself perfectly, he had no way to expose these things specifically.

Now Fang Xiewen used this trick on Su Gengsheng. Sure enough, Su Gengsheng and Huang Yimei, two people who understood art, chatted with him more enthusiastically.

Huang Yimei knew that Fang Xiewen had started learning this knowledge last year, but she didn't talk much about it with Fang Xiewen afterwards. Now when they talked about these domestic and foreign arts again, she couldn't help but look at Fang Xiewen with admiration.

But Su Gengsheng was different. Although she was smiling and chatting, she had already made up her mind:
I can tell at first glance that you are not a good guy, hypocritical man, stay away from my best friend!
