The first sentence is "Long time no see," and the second sentence is "Are you still coming or not?"

Xia Ziling shook her head, then suddenly smiled and said, "I won't say goodbye."

The fat man asked Xu Fan, "Is this your answer?"

Then, realizing something was amiss because of their conversation, he added, "Don't you want to hear it?"

Just as Xu Fan was about to say forget it, Xia Ziling said, "Put it on, I want to hear it."

Perhaps this is how the world is, and I'm still on my way.

There's no one I can confide in; perhaps I can only remain silent.

Dou Shui'er carried a backpack and walked home alone.

Huanxi Shatang is very close to the school, so she has been going to and from school alone during this period.

But just as she was walking home, she suddenly heard someone call out behind her: "Shui'er".

The voice is very pleasant and familiar.

With a look of surprise in her eyes, she turned around and saw Xu Fan walking towards her.

Also present were Zhao Feiyang, Chen Yuanyuan, Han Zilu, and Xia Ziling, who were with Xu Fan.

But her eyes were slowly filled with Xu Fan. She ran happily towards him, shouting, "Big brother, you're back!"

Xu Fan didn't expect to run into Shui'er in the neighborhood. When he saw the little girl running towards him, he still opened his arms.

The little girl immediately hugged Xu Fan and said obediently, "Big brother, Shui'er missed you."

Xu Fan picked up Shui'er and said with a smile, "I have to say, you've gained a lot of weight and grown taller these past few days!"

Shui'er stared at Xu Fan with her round eyes and asked, "Have you really grown taller? But why did Auntie say I wouldn't grow any taller?"

Xu Fan was taken aback, then heard Shui'er chuckle and say, "I also feel like I've grown up."

Xu Fan carried Shui'er and led everyone home. On the way, Shui'er whispered in Xu Fan's ear, "Big brother, where did you go?"

Xu Fan said, "Go abroad."

Shui'er touched Xu Fan's hair and asked, "What are you going abroad for?"

Xu Fan curiously touched Shui'er's nose and asked, "Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?"

As he spoke, Xu Fan put Shui'er down and said with a smile, "You've gotten fat, big brother can't carry you anymore."

Shui'er chuckled and said, "I'm all grown up now, I can walk by myself."

Seeing Dou Shui'er roll her eyes, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yuanyuan linked arms with Xia Ziling.

Xu Fan pulled Dou Shui'er along.

Fatty and Han Zilu followed at the back, without saying a word.

When Xu Fan met his mother, he brought out all the things he had bought in advance.

Xu's mother ignored her and instead came over and asked worriedly, "Is he alright?"

Xu Fan was taken aback. Seeing that his mother didn't know what was going on, he still said, "It's nothing, Mom."

Xu's mother nodded and asked, "Who is Yuanyuan?"

Xu Fan quickly introduced the three girls besides Zhao Feiyang to his mother.

Xu's mother nodded repeatedly at the three of them, seemingly very satisfied, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

However, after Xu Fan finished his introduction, Xu's mother said, "Everyone, please sit down and rest. It's cold outside. Now that you're here, make yourself at home."

The fat man said without any politeness, "Auntie, where did the tea leaves go? I'll get you a glass of water."

Xu's mother pointed to the box in the distance and said, "Take a look inside the box."

As she spoke, Xu's mother ignored Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang, walked over and grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's arm, saying, "You must be Yuanyuan?"

Chen Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed by Xu's mother's sudden question, so she quickly stood up, nodded and said, "Auntie, that's me."

Xu's mother's eyes were full of worry. She quickly helped Chen Yuanyuan up and said, "Sit down, sit down and rest. Auntie is asking if your injury is any better?"

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Xu Fan subconsciously.

Xu Fan was greatly alarmed at this moment, as the situation was now quite clear.

Xu's mother learned about what had happened to her in the Kingdom of Gran.

However, he never told anyone else about Chen Yuanyuan taking the bullet for him, because he was afraid they would worry.

He never mentioned his mother, in particular.

Even though I wasn't the one who got hurt, how did my mother know?

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "Auntie, I'm fine. Look, I'm all better now."

Xu's mother said with relief, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Xiao Fan is too naughty. I'll settle the score with him later. You rest for a bit, and Auntie will make you a bowl of chicken soup."

After saying that, Xu's mother seemed to realize that she had said something inappropriate, so she looked at the others and said, "Yes, yes, you all just wait."

Xu's mother hurriedly went to the kitchen.

Chen Yuanyuan and Xia Ziling exchanged glances, but didn't know what to say, so they fell into an abrupt silence.

Han Zilu stood to the side, feeling neither envy nor jealousy. She simply thought that being able to drink Xu Fan's mother's chicken soup seemed like a pretty good thing.

Dou Shui'er smiled happily and said, "Big brother, I'll go help Auntie."

===Chapter 361 Which of the Three Would You Choose?===

Chen Yuanyuan is Xia Ziling's best friend.

She stared at Xia Ziling with wide eyes, slightly at a loss, not understanding what Xu's mother meant.

Xia Ziling didn't have too many thoughts on it, she just tugged at Chen Yuanyuan's arm and said, "Let's wait for Auntie's chicken soup!"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, then glanced at Xu Fan, as if recalling the image of Xu Fan singing by her bedside, and lowered her head involuntarily.

The fat man gestured for the group to sit down, poured a few cups of tea, and then pulled Xu Fan aside, asking in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Xu Fan didn't understand the meaning of those words, so he asked, "What? What's going on?"

Zhao Feiyang gestured with his eyes to the three women and said, "Them."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Nothing much, just know that all three of them are injured."

Zhao Feiyang frowned and said, "Be careful."

Xu Fan ignored them, went over and offered the three of them some fruit, then chatted casually for a while before making an excuse to help with cooking and going to the kitchen.

The little girl, Shui'er, was washing vegetables when Xu Fan walked over and took the vegetables from her, saying, "Go play with your big sister, I'll do it here."

Shui'er was about to say she could, but when she looked up at Xu Fan with a knowing look in her eyes, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile.

Xu's mother said from the side, "Wash the vegetables and take out the rice while you're at it."

Xu Fan exclaimed "Hey!" and asked in confusion, "Mom, how did you know Yuanyuan was injured?"

Xu's mother stopped what she was doing, turned around and glared at Xu Fan, saying, "That girl took a bullet for you, how can you be so heartless?"

Xu Fan was slightly taken aback. How could this be considered heartless?

Then Xu's mother continued, "Anyway, someone told me that you're lucky to have met that girl. Oh, I almost died of fright."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's heart tightened, but he still said, "Mom, don't worry, look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

As Xu's mother picked vegetables, she said, "You're perfectly fine, but Yuanyuan has bullet holes in her body. That young girl almost lost her life to save you."

Xu Fan said, "Mom, I know that."

Xu's mother said, "What do you know? Why would the little girl take a bullet for you?"

Xu Fan said, "Yuanyuan and I have a pretty good relationship, and..."

Xu's mother glared at Xu Fan and said, "She definitely likes you. I like this girl too."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's vision blurred, but he still said, "Mom, these are two different things."

Xu's mother said, "You're not getting any younger, there are some things you need to consider."

Xu Fan finished preparing the dishes and placed them on the cutting board, saying, "Mom, you really don't need to worry about these things."

Xu's mother turned around and asked, "What, you have a girlfriend? Is she one of the other two?"

Xu Fan sighed helplessly and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? They are all my friends."

Xu's mother said, "Hmph, what could I possibly be thinking? I just want you to get married and have children as soon as possible."

At this point, Xu's mother suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Are you still blaming me for what happened back then?"

Xu Fan gently patted his mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, it's been so long. I was so young then, and I'm all grown up now. I can't remember anymore."

Xu's mother said, "I know that was your first friend, but..."

Xu Fan interrupted his mother, saying, "Mom, don't worry. I just graduated, and my career is my priority."

Xu's mother didn't try to persuade her, but calmly said, "Stop arguing with me. Yuanyuan hasn't recovered yet. I'll make some soup tonight. Do you think she should drink more?"

Xu Fan said helplessly, "Mom, they are all injured right now?"

Xu's mother asked suspiciously, "What? Did they all take bullets for you? No, Fanfan, who exactly did you offend?"

Xu Fan looked at his mother with a sense of despair and said, "Mom, really, they're just injured."

Xu's mother sighed and said, "Alright then, you go and keep them company. I can manage on my own."

Xu Fan wanted to help, but his mother pushed him out of the kitchen. Xu Fan had no choice but to return to the living room, and the atmosphere remained unchanged.

Chen Yuanyuan and Xia Ziling were relatively more talkative, while Han Zilu sat to the side chatting and laughing with Zhao Feiyang. Of course, most people remained silent.

After Xu Fan arrived, he chatted with the others, and before long, his mother's meal was ready.

Xu's mother called Xu Fan to clear the dishes, then walked over and said to everyone, "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

Just then, Han Zilu felt a little nauseous and couldn't help but vomit. When Xu's mother saw this, she was shocked. "No way?"
