As Bing Tianyi lowered his head in thought, Fang Qing seemed to notice something off about his expression. However, she did not directly ask him about it; instead, she looked at him and revealed a sincere smile.
"Actually, many people get to know each other in unexpected ways. Just like us—if you hadn't rented my apartment, we wouldn't have met, right?" Fang Qing said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi shook his head and replied, "Sister Qing, that's not what I meant. The reason I know Chen Qian is fundamentally due to the differences in our identities and family backgrounds."
Curious, Fang Qing asked Bing Tianyi, "Are you perhaps in it for the money?"
Hastily shaking his head, Bing Tianyi replied, "Of course not! If it were about money, I wouldn't be with Chen Qian. There are plenty of girls in our school who are wealthier than her."
Although Bing Tianyi claimed there were many such girls, he understood that within the entire school, only two or three could be considered on par with Chen Qian's family. The only family wealthier than hers was that of Wang Ziyan.
"Not for money, and it seems you don't genuinely like her either. So why are you with Chen Qian? Is it because she pressured you?" Fang Qing asked, looking confused as she quietly questioned Bing Tianyi.
With a bitter smile, Bing Tianyi said, "Let's not talk about that. You called me today; is there something else on your mind?"
Faced with Bing Tianyi's question, Fang Qing momentarily didn't know how to respond. Sitting on the sofa, she stammered, "I... I just wanted to see you."
Surprised by her response, Bing Tianyi looked at her and chuckled lightly, "Really? You wanted to see me this late?"
A blush crept onto Fang Qing's face as she lowered her head shyly and said, "Actually, ever since that night, I've felt that you are so similar to my man. Especially that unique feeling and the sense of security you give—it makes it hard for me to forget you. Even though I know you might look down on me, I've thought about it for so many days and decided to share my feelings with you."
Before Fang Qing could finish her thoughts, Bing Tianyi quickly waved his hand and laughed, "How could I look down on you? I just feel too young for some things..."
"You're not that young!" Fang Qing exclaimed passionately at Bing Tianyi. However, after saying this, she felt something was off and quickly added an explanation: "What I mean is that you're much more mature in your thinking than most people."
"Ha ha, thank you," Bing Tianyi said with a smile.
The two fell silent again. Bing Tianyi looked at Fang Qing, unsure of what to say. After all, he couldn't afford to act recklessly lately; if he waited until the fasting period was over, he might end up doing something else with Fang Qing.
However, Fang Qing understood that a man like him, while conservative, was also caring. It was impossible to have things move quickly; she could only take her time to reel him in.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing smiled at Bing Tianyi and said, "Tianyi, I don't have any family right now. If you're willing, I would like you to be my brother. I wonder if you would agree?"
Seeing the hopeful expression on Fang Qing's face, Bing Tianyi thought about how his fasting period was about to end. If they became siblings, it would be even less likely for him to do anything inappropriate later on.
But if he refused now, it would clearly hurt Fang Qing emotionally.
Considering this, Bing Tianyi frowned and said, "Today might not be a good day. How about we wait until seven days from now? That day is an auspicious one; we can hold the ceremony then."
Fang Qing looked at Bing Tianyi and asked with a smile, "Do you really care about that?"
"Of course! You know I'm someone who reads fortunes, so I pay special attention to these matters," Bing Tianyi replied earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing didn't press further. She smiled and got up to retrieve a bottle of wine from the cabinet.
Seeing Fang Qing take out a bottle of wine, Bing Tianyi felt overwhelmed again as images flashed in his mind.
To prevent any unexpected incidents tonight, as soon as Fang Qing placed the wine on the table, Bing Tianyi stood up and said, "Sister Qing, if we're drinking, I'll take my leave. You know I don't usually drink."
"It's fine; just watch me drink. I just want you to keep me company; I don't want you to do anything else," Fang Qing said seriously to Bing Tianyi.
Bing Tianyi sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I really can't..."
Seeing Bing Tianyi wanting to leave, Fang Qing's smile abruptly faded. She looked at Bing Tianyi and asked clearly, "What's wrong? Are you really planning to leave now?"
"It's getting late. I think I should go home and rest."
"Isn't there a room here? Or do you feel that being with me would make you afraid of what others might say?" Fang Qing asked earnestly.
Bing Tianyi was completely speechless. His face was filled with a bitter smile. After a few seconds, he finally spoke, "If that's the case, I'll wait for a bit."
"That's more like it. In my heart, you are like my brother, whether it's seven days or eight days." Fang Qing said with a smile.
Sitting on the sofa, Bing Tianyi had no idea what would happen next.
As time passed, it quickly became past midnight. At this point, Fang Qing had already finished a bottle of wine. With her eyes slightly glazed over, she looked at Bing Tianyi and began to laugh as she recounted her past.
Meanwhile, Bing Tianyi watched Fang Qing in her current state, feeling a burning desire within him. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in or have a bucket of cold water poured over his head to cool off.
Just then, Bing Tianyi's phone suddenly rang. Upon answering the call, Wu Zhaojun's anxious voice came through, saying, "Big Brother, do you have time right now? We have a situation."
Bing Tianyi's expression changed dramatically as he directly asked Wu Zhaojun, "What happened?"
"Big Brother, we are at Northern Guan Red River Mansion right now. Chen Tian accidentally offended some people, and they are calling for backup. I'm worried something big might happen tonight," Wu Zhaojun said with a trembling voice on the phone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bing Tianyi immediately stood up and told Wu Zhaojun, "Okay, you all wait there for a moment. I'll bring people over right away."
After saying this, he looked at Fang Qing, who appeared nervous, and said, "Sister Qing, you sit here for a moment. My brothers are in some trouble and I need to go handle it urgently."
Fang Qing was also a sensible person. Although she wanted to test whether Bing Tianyi was truly honest tonight, she had heard some of Wu Zhaojun's words over the phone. In this situation, if she insisted on keeping Bing Tianyi there, he would definitely feel resentful towards her.
Thinking of this, Fang Qing seriously said to Bing Tianyi, "Be careful when you go. Make sure nothing happens to you."
"Don't worry," Bing Tianyi replied as he put on his jacket and turned to head out the door.
Once outside, while going down the stairs, he quickly dialed Nan Hao's number. He directly explained the location and asked Nan Hao to bring Rat and Duck Brother over quickly.
After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly called Brother Kun. When the call connected, the noise on Brother Kun's side indicated that they were clearly singing. Hearing this, Bing Tianyi spoke clearly into the phone, "Brother Kun, there's something I need you to do. Bring over a dozen brothers right away."
Having been in this line of work for so long, Brother Kun naturally understood that a late-night call could only mean two things: either a hookup or a fight. And since Bing Tianyi immediately asked him to bring so many people over, it was obviously about a fight.
Without thinking much, he shouted loudly on the other end of the line, "Everyone stop!"
As the noise faded away on his side, Brother Kun asked seriously again, "Brother Bing, what did you say?"
"Bring a dozen brothers to Red River Mansion," Bing Tianyi said earnestly.
Brother Kun quickly nodded in agreement. After hanging up the phone, Bing Tianyi flagged down a black taxi on the roadside. Once he got in and told the driver to go to Red River Mansion, the driver surprisingly smiled wryly and said, "Little brother, you might want to find someone else."
With that, the driver drove off. Bing Tianyi stood there helplessly as he watched the car disappear into the distance and glanced around the street.
Less than a minute later, another car drove by. After stopping it, Bing Tianyi got in first. When the driver asked for the address, Bing Tianyi finally said, "Red River Mansion."
"Kid, what are you doing in that place?" The driver, a middle-aged man, asked Bing Tianyi curiously.
Bing Tianyi replied frankly, "It's nothing important, just going to see a few of my brothers."
"Well, I have to say, the fare is fifty," the driver said loudly to Bing Tianyi.
The usual fare was five, and now it had suddenly increased to fifty. This driver was really taking advantage of the situation. However, given the urgency, Bing Tianyi couldn't afford to think too much about it. As soon as the driver finished speaking, he pulled out fifty dollars and tossed it in front of the driver.
The driver nodded with a smile, and after about ten minutes, Bing Tianyi was dropped off at Northern Guan Red River Mansion.
Red River Mansion was the largest building materials market in the county town, located within the jurisdiction of Qiangzi. This place had millions of bosses and also many poor folks earning only a couple thousand a month. But more than anything, it was filled with drunks.
Many Young Men worked here during the day and spent their nights drinking either in their rented rooms or in a few bars in front of Red River Mansion. Around midnight was peak time for fights.
Despite the police occasionally patrolling the area, fighting had become a long-standing tradition in the county town for over a decade. They couldn't manage it effectively. Even now, the police were too lazy to intervene unless someone reported a fight; otherwise, they wouldn't bother patrolling this place.
When Bing Tianyi arrived at the entrance of Red River Mansion, he hurriedly took out his phone and called Wu Zhaojun. He directly asked, "Where are you? I'm at the front gate."
"Big brother, wait a moment; I'll be right out," Wu Zhaojun said before hanging up.
Before long, when Wu Zhaojun came out and saw Bing Tianyi arriving alone, the excited smile on his face instantly vanished.
