Chapter 1073: Leaving on the 199th

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

He Yu’s appearance and departure did not cause any waves in the Fang family.

Fang Taoran talked about Brother He Yu for a while, but He Yu had really left and never contacted them again. Gradually, Fang Taoran forgot about Brother He Yu.

On New Year’s Eve that year, Fang Yusheng received a call from He Yu.

It was a transoceanic call. He Yu called Mr. Fang on the phone and said Happy New Year, but he did not know what else to say.

Fang Yusheng replied, “Happy New Year.”

He Yu was actually not familiar with Fang Yusheng, and he did not know what to say. However, he seemed to have thousands of words to say in his heart. He Yu could not bear to hang up the phone. Fang Yusheng listened to the child’s breathing and did not take the initiative to talk, nor did he hang up the phone.

It was a big festival, and this child was very lonely overseas alone.

Fang Yusheng did not think that he was a good person, but he was not a heartless person. After having children and living happily all these years, his heart was not as hard as before.

After waiting for more than a minute, He Yu still did not speak. Fang Yusheng found it funny and asked, “Do you have nothing to say?” He deliberately said, “If you have nothing to say, I’ll hang up.”

“Mr. Fang, I got an A in this exam.”

He was planning to report his results.

Fang Yusheng was a little surprised. “Just an A?” This result was too embarrassing.

He Yu was a little embarrassed. He said, “When I first came, I didn’t know how to talk to the people here, nor did I understand the teacher’s lecture…” In the past six months, he had to learn the language here and make up for the knowledge he didn’t learn in class. He didn’t dare to relax for a moment.

Fang Yusheng was speechless for a moment.

As an ABC, he subconsciously thought that every child should speak English…

On the other hand, he did not think about it well.

“That’s good.”

“I’ll get all A’s next year.”

“Okay.”

The call finally ended.

Fang Yusheng turned around and looked at his three children with a smile. He walked to Fang Zicheng and the rest and looked down at them. He asked, “Do you speak English?”

“Yes.”

All three children said yes.

Fang Yusheng nodded and ran to the kitchen to cut fruits with Qiao Jiusheng. Fang Zikai asked Fang Zicheng, “Brother, what does Dad mean? Is he looking down on us for being stupid?”

Fang Zicheng looked at him for a long time before saying, “Isn’t it common knowledge that you’re stupid?”

“Brother, do you want to be beaten!”

Fang Zikai declared war on his brother.

He pressed Fang Zicheng onto the carpet and started beating him up. Fang Zicheng returned two punches to him. Fang Taoran saw that the brothers were fighting again and joined the battle.

Seeing that his sister was about to interfere, Fang Zikai quickly stopped her. “You’re a girl. You can’t fight.”

“Why!” Fang Taoran thought that his brother was being sexist.

She asked Fang Zikai, “Why can’t I fight, but you can!”

Fang Zikai’s eyes darted around. When he noticed that his sister was wearing a sweater dress, he had a flash of inspiration and said, “Once you fight, your dress will flutter and you’ll be exposed.” This reason was very good.

Fang Taoran pursed her lips. She stood up and pulled up her sweater skirt, revealing her black leggings. “I’m wearing leggings!”

Fang Zikai was speechless.

“Big Brother, let’s fight Little Brother together!” Fang Taoran and Fang Zicheng dealt with Fang Zikai together.

Fang Zicheng smiled and said, “Okay.”

Next, it was Fang Zikai’s turn to be beaten up on the ground.

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng walked out with a fruit platter and saw the three children fighting on the ground. Their Fang Taoran was like a tomboy, and the fight was fierce.

Fang Yusheng asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Were you so mischievous when you were young?”

The corners of Qiao Jiusheng’s lips twitched.

She thought of something and suddenly said, “I was not just mischievous when I was young. I’m mischievous now too.”

“Huh?” Fang Yusheng still did not understand what Qiao Jiusheng meant. He only understood what Qiao Jiusheng meant after he took a shower at night and took off his clothes to sleep.

“Oh right, where are Mom and Dad?”

After the reunion dinner, Lisa and Chi Baoguang sent them red packets and seemed to have disappeared.

Fang Yusheng said, “My father brought my mother to the mountain to set off fireworks.”

Qiao Jiusheng pursed her lips and said, “How romantic.” She looked at Fang Yusheng bitterly and complained to him, “Why didn’t you learn from your father?”

“You want to see fireworks too?” Fang Yusheng thought that Qiao Jiusheng simply wanted to see fireworks.

Qiao Jiusheng placed the clean fruit plate on Fang Yusheng’s head and said, “Hold it steady. You’re not allowed to take it off until an hour has passed. If it falls to the ground early, don’t even think about going to bed tonight!”

Fang Yusheng looked innocent.

How did he provoke her again?

Noticing that his father had been abused by his mother again, Fang Zikai said sarcastically, “Did you make my mother angry again?”

Fang Yusheng was already in a bad mood. After being mocked by Fang Zikai, he was even angrier. “Come here!”

Relying on the fact that his father had a plate on his head and did not dare to chase after him, Fang Zikai ran to Fang Yusheng. Fang Zikai turned around and faced his father with his butt. He snorted and gave his father a fart.

Fang Yu was so angry that he wanted to chase after Fang Zikai.

As soon as he took off, the porcelain plate fell to the carpet with a clang. It did not shatter.

Fang Yusheng quickly picked up the plate and patted it with his hand. Fortunately, it did not shatter. There was a saying in Binjiang City that one could not break bowls and glasses during the New Year. It was not good to break them.

If he accidentally broke it, he had to quickly say “Happy New Year”.

Fang Yusheng picked up the plate and glared at Fang Zikai.

Fang Zikai stuck out his tongue at him again. Fang Yusheng was about to chase after him again when Qiao Jiusheng, who had returned to the bedroom to get a scarf, returned. When she saw Fang Yusheng holding the plate, she narrowed her eyes and announced that Fang Yusheng would sleep in the guest room tonight.

Fang Yusheng was speechless.

It was the New Year, how could a couple sleep in separate rooms!

He looked at Qiao Jiusheng shamelessly and said, “On the first day of the New Year, which is tomorrow morning, the two of us have to wake up from the same bed. Think about it, how can we sleep separately on the first day of the New Year! This is outrageous.”

Qiao Jiusheng kindly suggested, “Then you can go back to your room to sleep with me tomorrow morning.”

Fang Yusheng was speechless.

Was there any justice!

At night, the family played until midnight. After the New Year ended, the children yawned and went to sleep.

Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai had already separated their rooms. The brothers’ rooms were still next to each other. Fang Taoran’s room was opposite theirs. Fang Zicheng had just laid down when a child’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind—

“Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!”

“We sing, we dance, and we wish everyone the New Year!”

Fang Zicheng quietly listened to the child finish singing.

After the song, Number 199 fell silent.

Fang Zicheng found it strange. It was rare for Number 199 to be quiet.
