It would have been fine if Fang Yan didn't explain. After listening to Fang Yan's explanation, Xia Tian really wanted to smash the coffee cup in his hand on his face.
"What do you mean I didn't say you were an idiot?" Xia Tian thought angrily.
But she was happy in her heart. The only person who dared to talk to her like this, who dared to use the insulting word "idiot" to joke with her, was probably Fang Yan.
Other men either treat her as a high and mighty star, or a goddess with an extraordinary background. Even if some men joke with her to show affection, it is just a passing joke, too forced and deliberate, and they just laugh it off, and think in their hearts, the relationship between us is just like this----
Fang Yan said it so casually and joked with her so naturally. In his heart, he really regarded herself as a friend.
You see, women's minds are so strange. If you love her and praise her, she will think you are a jerk. If you belittle her and step on her, she will think you are a jerk. It is really not easy to grasp the right degree.
However, a friendly reminder: never treat women as goddesses.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "This is a line from a TV series. It's very popular on the Internet. I borrowed it to use----"
"I've watched this TV series." Xia Tian said, "As long as it's an excellent work or a work that has a good market response, I will find time to watch it carefully. I'm always worried that I'm not doing well enough, so I have to keep learning from others' strengths-----"
"You are already a movie queen, who can be your teacher?" Fang Yan said with a smile.
"How can a person ever be satisfied?" Xia Tian shook his head and said, "You seem a little abnormal today----"
"I remembered a friend." Fang Yan said. "Her ending shouldn't be like this-----"
"She's An Teng's sister, right? I haven't had much contact with her, but I heard that she's very pretty, a well-known beauty in Yanjing----" Xia Tian said, "They would never have thought that someone with such a vicious mouth could have such a kind heart----"
"Are you praising me?" Fang Yan asked with a smile.
"If it wasn't for her, if it wasn't for her feelings, you probably wouldn't have let An Teng off so easily, right? Do you remember what happened to us in Huacheng Sky No. 1? You were able to take care of an insignificant person - the An family owed you too much, but you let him walk out safely." Xia Tian looked at Fang Yan thoughtfully and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a passionate person."
Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "How can this be called sentimental? She is my first love. Have you ever had a first love? The first time you experienced that feeling of your heart beating faster - unfortunately, we can never have that again."
"Many things can never be undone once they've passed." Xia Tian comforted him, "If you can't be together, then it can only be said that you are not suitable for each other. Anyway, you now have Ye Wenrou, Qin Yitian, and Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin, two little girls who are obsessed with you. Especially Jiang Qin, she's like a demon. So many years have passed, how old was she at that time? I really don't know what you did to a child back then -"
"I just asked them to study hard and make progress every day." Fang Yan said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, go back and ask them. Maybe they think what I said makes too much sense."
"Everyone says these clichés, so what even if they make sense?" Xia Tian said coquettishly, "However, your current situation is getting worse and worse - you have already offended the Jiang family, and now you have offended the An family, and there are some enemies that I may not even know about. Fang Yan, how do you have such ability? Why do you offend so many people wherever you go?"
"I explained this to others. I told them it was because I was too good-----" Fang Yan said. "But in front of you I have to tell the truth---"
"Hmm?" Xia Tian asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because I'm so popular with women." Fang Yan whispered, "If I hadn't known Lu Chaoge, I wouldn't have come into contact with Jiang Zhuliu. If I hadn't come into contact with Jiang Zhuliu, I wouldn't have become enemies with Jiang Junling. Later, I discovered that bad guys all over the world are good friends."
"I don't know if you're popular with women or not-----" Xia Tian giggled and said, "Your last sentence is right. All bad guys in the world are good friends. When you reach that level, all bad guys know each other----because this circle is so small, there are always only a few people jumping around."
"So, I stirred up a hornet's nest?"
"That's not the case." Xia Tian brushed her hair from her forehead and said seriously, "You have a lot of resources at hand. You have Yanziwu, at least the gentlemen of Yanziwu support you. You have the support of the Qin family, your own Chaoyan Empire, the iron foundation of Huacheng, and so many friends. If you need it, I am willing to take you back and beg the old man to come forward. Although your strength is too scattered and you will suffer some losses in the event of a collision, you are not completely powerless. Fang Yan, think about it. If someone told me three years ago that you could compete with a giant like the Jiang family, I would never believe it. But now, I believe it. I want to believe that you can compete with them. I even believe that you will win in the end."
"I don't know if I will win, I just know I must fight-----" Fang Yan said firmly: "If I fight, I may die. If I don't fight, I will definitely die."

Zhang Jianjun said that he and Gongsun Qi had a mission to carry out, but Fang Yan did not receive any news from him for a while, so he returned to Yanziwu by himself. Although he is now a hot figure in Yanjing, he is still unfamiliar with the city of Yanjing. Although Yanziwu is his sad place, it also makes him feel more at home.
He came back this time, firstly to ask his husband for an answer, and also to spend more time with his grandfather whose health was getting worse and worse, and his mother who had lost her lover.
Fang Yan returned to Yanziwu. Except for occasionally going out for a walk with Ye Wenrou, he would either push his grandfather Fang Huwei around Yanziwu to chat, or accompany his mother Lu Wan to fertilize and weed the vegetable garden near his father's grave. The fresh fruits were ripe, and he could pick a large basket every time. He couldn't finish them at home, so Fang Yan would carry a basket to the Ye family whenever he had time.
Today, as usual, after Fang Yan sent his mother back home, he carried a basket of freshly picked cucumbers, peppers, eggplants and other food to the Ye family to deliver the vegetables.
Before I reached the door of the Ye family, I heard the sound of fighting coming from the yard.
Fang Yan couldn't help but grin. He didn't expect that besides himself, there were other people in Yanziwu who dared to come to the Ye family to make trouble.
When I got closer, I realized that things were not as they seemed at all.
"Ye Fengsheng, don't be a coward, come out here------"
"Ye Fengsheng, do you think I can't do anything to you if you hide? I'm telling you, if you don't explain yourself to me clearly today, I'll beat you up every time I see you--------"
"Ye Fengsheng------Don't pull me, Ye Fengsheng, you irresponsible spine--------"
---------
Fang Yan felt the cursing voice sounded familiar, but when he stepped into the Ye family's doorstep he realized the person cursing was Baili Lu, whom he hadn't seen for some time.
Baili Lu was dressed in shorts, with a ribbon tied in his hair and his sleeves rolled up, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death.
Baili Lu's sister Baili Qingzhu stood beside her brother, constantly pulling his sleeves and whispering something to him, but Baili Lu, who was angry, had no intention of listening to her explanation.
Fang Yan did not see Ye Fengsheng, but he saw several other juniors standing nearby watching the fun.
Seeing Fang Yan coming in, Ye Zi came over with a smile and said, "It's going to be fun."
"What's the excitement?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zi's face suddenly turned red. She glared at Fang Yan angrily and said, "You are so annoying. Did you do this on purpose?"
"What do you mean I did it on purpose?" Fang Yan felt even more puzzled and said, "I just came here and I don't know what happened yet. That's why I asked you - why do you look like this?"
"I'm not going to pay attention to you." Ye Zi stamped her feet and ran towards the backyard. Obviously, she was going to inform Ye Wenrou that Fang Yan was coming.
Fang Yan touched his nose and smiled bitterly, then handed the basket to the maid Xiaomei and said, "Send it to the kitchen."
Xiaomei took it with a smile and said, "Son-in-law, we also grow these vegetables you sent us------"
"How can they be the same?" Fang Yan said with his eyes wide open. "Look at these vegetables. Do they look different from the ones you have at home?"
Xiaomei looked carefully and said, "No."
"Not careful." Fang Yan said, "Not careful observation. Leonardo da Vinci said that there are no two eggs in the world that are exactly the same, and there are no two eggplants in the world that are exactly the same. Stop talking nonsense and send it in quickly."
Fang Yan wanted to watch the fun from the sidelines, but the fun just happened to come to him.
Ye Fengsheng suddenly appeared behind him and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Yanzi, you have to find a way to save me-------"
Fang Yan was tall and thin, and Ye Fengsheng was as fat as a ball, so he hid behind Fang Yan like a person holding a leaf to cover his body.
Sure enough, Baili Lu discovered Ye Fengsheng's whereabouts, jumped up, and punched towards where Fang Yan was standing---------(To be continued)
