Three years ago, when Fang Yan was still the Chinese teacher and head teacher of Class 9, students often invited Fang Yan to birthday parties. Fang Yan refused most of them, but when he couldn't refuse, he would sit for a while and give a small gift.
Life was simple and happy at that time, and the mood was also relaxed and carefree.
At that time, Fang Yan was still a child who had not grown up, and countless people doted on him and loved him.
Three years later, things have changed. He is no longer a teacher at Suzaku Middle School, but a security guard to protect the students' safety.
He no longer had the mood to be a teacher. He was worried that the violence hidden deep in his heart would be accidentally released and lead astray those students who were frantically absorbing knowledge and nutrition.
Unexpectedly, there were still girls who invited him to their birthday parties. Inviting a school security guard? Isn't this a clear way of showing off by going to such a luxurious and magnificent place
Fang Yan's first reaction was to refuse. He had too many things to do. Was it necessary to attend a student's birthday party? And it was a female student who was obviously very interested in him. Please, Zhuque Middle School prohibits teacher-student romance. Fang Yan was not that kind of person at all.
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to say something to refuse, but Su Qi spoke first.
She was still smiling, looking at Fang Yan sincerely, and said, "Teacher Fang, if you could come, it would be the best gift I could receive on my birthday----"
"------" This sentence was so destructive that it blocked all the words that Fang Yan was about to say.
Your presence is the best gift she has ever received. Do you have the heart not to give a gift to someone on their birthday? Do you have the heart to ruin someone's happy mood
"I'm free tomorrow too." The bald man touched his bald head and said with a smile, "Classmate Su Qi, do I have the honor to attend your birthday party?"
"Of course." Su Qi nodded. She even invited the other two security guards, saying, "You can come together. I'll introduce some friends to you. There's good wine to drink and cakes to eat."
"Wow, can we go to your birthday party too?"
"Great, tomorrow I'm going to wear the new suit I bought during the Chinese New Year-----"
------
Before Fang Yan agreed, the three guys unanimously accepted it.
Su Qi looked at Fang Yan with bright eyes, waiting for Fang Yan's answer expectantly and quietly.
Fang Yan looked at Su Qi, chuckled and said, "Happy birthday, Su Qi. But I have other plans tomorrow, so I may not be able to come."
The smile on Su Qi's face disappeared, and she said with some regret: "It's really disappointing. Teacher Fang, although you have rejected me, I still hope you will go, because ----- because someone wants to see you."
"Who?" Fang Yan asked doubtfully.
"Originally I should have told you." Su Qi smiled slyly and said, "But you rejected me just now, which made me feel very sad. So, I'm not going to tell you. You'll know when you go and see for yourself. Or, if you don't go there tomorrow, you'll never know who the person who wants to see you is-----Everyone is curious, and you must be very curious now, right?"
Fang Yan looked at Su Qi helplessly and said, "If I really don't go, won't you delay other people's business?"
"I don't care." Su Qi said as if it was a matter of course. "I'm hurt, can't I lose my temper? This is a woman's patent."
She took out a few invitations from her bag and placed them on the only wooden table in the security booth. She said, "The address is on the invitations. I am looking forward to your arrival."
After saying that, the girl skipped away.
The bald man looked at Fang Yan with a face full of resentment and said, "Teacher Fang, Su Qi is so kind, why don't you agree?"
Fang Yan looked at the bald man with a smile and said, "Why? Did they bribe you just by inviting you to a concert?"
"Hey, am I that kind of person?" The bald man waved his hand and asked Fang Yan in a low voice, "When will Tian Nanxing come to Huacheng for a concert?"
"I don't know about that." Fang Yan said. "I haven't contacted them for a long time."
Fang Yan hadn't contacted Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin for a while. First, he was injured and recuperating in the mountains. At that time, he didn't even know where he had lost his phone. Later, after asking someone to reissue his mobile phone card, he didn't reply to their inquiry messages in time. With the promotion of Xia Tian's resources, the two girls became more and more popular and liked by more and more people. Every time Fang Yan opened the newspaper, he could see all kinds of information about them. It was said that Jiang Qin was in love with a male star, that Yuan Lin and Jiang Qin were lesbians, that Jiang Qin was going to enter the film and television industry again, and that Tian Nan Xing was going to disband - all kinds of rumors made people dizzy.
Fang Yan just laughed off such rumors. He knew that Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin had a very good relationship. It was good before and it will be good in the future.
Moreover, even if they have conflicts, Xia Tian will solve them well. She is a smart woman.
The bald man looked regretful and said, "I really want to have the chance to listen to their concert again. Teacher Fang, can you please get me an autograph from Tian Nan Xing?"
Fang Yan looked at him helplessly and said, "Can't you have some other pursuits in your life?"
"Then why don't you come with us to Su Qi's birthday party? The little girl came here specially to invite you-----"
"Yes, Teacher Fang, during the time you were not at school, every time she came to school and passed by our security booth, she would ask if you were here -"
"How many days have you persisted, rain or shine? I am moved by her-----"
Fang Yan sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, I can't go. Less trouble is worse than more."

After school in the afternoon, Fang Yan did not rush back to Lu Chaoge's villa, but walked towards the area inside the school.
When Fang Yan walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Qin Ying and several men in black from the Feng Group playing poker in the RV at the gate. There were a lot of notes on Qin Ying's face, and it seemed that his luck was not very good today.
Fang Yan stood at the door of the car and asked with a smile: "Why don't you get in and sit down?"
"I don't dare to go in." Qin Ying shook his head.
"Why?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
Qin Ying tore off the paper on his face, looked at Fang Yan and said, "When you were not in Huacheng, we often accompanied Miss Lu here. When we first came, we didn't know that your grandfather was Huacheng's famous academic prime minister Lu Zheng. When I saw this old man, I felt trembling all over and felt uncomfortable. Later, after I knew his identity, I didn't dare to step into his courtyard."
"Me too. Maybe it's because I wasn't a good student when I was little. Whenever your grandpa glances at me, I start to tremble all over - as if I had done something wrong."
"Hey, don't let us go in and suffer. We'd rather play poker in the car and relax--"
-----
Fang Yan patted the car door and said, "Okay, I'll get you some food later."
"No need. We brought our own supplies." Qin Ying refused.
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "How can this be true? When you come to my grandparents' house, you are my guests. Can I let my guests eat canned food and beef jerky?"
Qin Ying chuckled and said, "Okay, if you have any extra, bring one out for us, so we can improve our lives."
"no problem."
Fang Yan chatted and laughed with a few young people for a while before stepping into the yard.
Lu Zheng was watching the noon news in the living room. When he saw Fang Yan come in, he just snorted coldly and didn't even look at him.
Fang Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, are you watching the news?"
Lu Zheng had a gloomy face and ignored Fang Yan.
Fang Yan's grandmother heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. She grabbed Fang Yan's arm and said, "Fang Yan, you have been back to Huacheng for so long and you didn't even come to see your grandparents. Grandma missed you so much. Good boy, let grandma see if you have lost weight. Oh, you look good, which proves that Chaoge takes good care of you."
"Grandma, I'm sorry-----" Fang Yan said these words with difficulty. Facing his closest relatives, he had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know how to express them.
"Silly child, what have you done to me?" Grandma held Fang Yan's hand tightly and said, "Grandma knows that you are in a bad mood, so I resisted the urge to call you. Let the past be the past, and you should be good in the future-----"
As she spoke, grandma's eyes became red, and she said, "Your mother only has you to rely on, so you must pay attention to your safety."
Lu Zheng got angry, slapped the table, and shouted, "Why are you crying? Isn't he still alive and well?"
Grandma was also angry and said, "You old man, when Fang Yan wasn't here, you were sighing every day and hinted to me several times to call him and ask him to come to our house for dinner. Now that Fang Yan is here, you are making a sour face and not saying anything - what do you mean? Why are you banging the table? Do you have the guts to break the table for me?"
"you-----"
"I what me?"
"Stupid woman. So stupid."
"Oh, now that you're old you despise me for being stupid? You call me a fool, go find someone smart -"
Lu Chaoge appeared at the kitchen door and said anxiously: "Grandma, the chicken wings are going to be burnt----"
"Oh, I'm still cooking in the pot. Fang Yan, please sit down first and ignore that old man-----" As he spoke, he trotted into the kitchen.
Lu Chaoge gave Fang Yan a look, indicating that the situation was dangerous and he should be careful.
Lu Zhang glanced at Fang Yan sharply and said, "Come upstairs with me."
Fang Yan felt a headache. Whenever he went to his grandfather's study, he would be scolded and lectured.
