Chapter 693: I'm Getting Married

Chen Fan was sowhat surprised.

He didn't expect to see Fang Ling in Luocheng.

It had been over a year since they last t.

And he rembered that Fang Ling was studying abroad.

How did she suddenly appear here?

Since he saw her, he couldn't pretend he didn't. Chen Fan smiled and waved at her across the street.

Fang Ling crossed the road and walked towards him.

Chen Fan's smile suddenly froze.

Because he noticed the black armband on her arm.

"What a coincidence," Fang Ling said with a smile, greeting him first.

Chen Fan nodded, "Long ti no see. What brings you here?"

"My grandmother passed away. I ca to send her off on her final journey."

Chen Fan thought to himself, sure enough, soone in her family had passed away.

He suddenly rembered that when he first t Fang Ling, it was in Luocheng.

At that ti, she ca to Zhou Honghai's computer school to repair a computer, and even gave him a paynt for it, which beca the initial funds for his startup.

Thinking about it now, it turned out that Fang Ling's grandmother lived in Luocheng.

Fang Ling looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Do you have ti? Want to find a place to sit and chat?"

Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "Sure, it's been a while since we last talked."

"Where should we go? You decide."

Fang Ling thought for a mont and shook her head, "I'm not familiar with Luocheng, I only co here occasionally during holidays."

"You decide. Any place where we can chat is fine."

Chen Fan pointed to the car parked nearby.

"Let's talk in the car."

"You bought a car?" Fang Ling was a bit surprised, "You finally decided to buy a car?"

"I still rember when we were in college, you always refused to buy a car. If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were pretending to be poor."

Chen Fan started the car and smiled wryly, "Not at all. Back in school, I just didn't want to draw too much attention."

"Now that I've graduated, of course I need to buy a car for convenience. I can't always squeeze onto buses, I'm not stupid."

Driving onto the road, Chen Fan thought for a mont and asked, "Are you hungry? Shall we find a place to eat?"

Fang Ling's lips suddenly curled up.

"I rember you refused to treat to a al several tis before, no matter how much I asked."

"Today the sun must be rising from the west, you're actually offering to treat ."

Chen Fan: "How co I don't rember that? Are you deliberately trying to sar ?"

"Besides, you've co all the way to Luocheng. As a host, it's only right that I treat you to a al."

Fang Ling: "See? Now you're denying it, aren't you?"

Fang Ling smiled and then said, "I want to eat hotpot."

"Hotpot in this season?" Chen Fan thought for a mont, "Alright. I actually rember a hotpot restaurant."

Driving Fang Ling around the county town for a few streets, he finally found the hotpot restaurant he rembered.

After parking the car, he led Fang Ling into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.

It was just past 11 am, not yet lunchti, so there were only two tables of custors in the restaurant, making it very quiet.

A waiter ca over with the nu, and Chen Fan asked Fang Ling, "Can you eat spicy food?"

Fang Ling nodded, "I like spicy food."

Chen Fan smiled, "I'm not very good with spicy food."

"Let's get a split pot then."

He then asked Fang Ling what ingredients she wanted. Fang Ling simply said she just wanted to eat at and drink alcohol right now.

Chen Fan shook his head and had to order himself.

"Please also bring us two bottles of beer."

However, Fang Ling said, "Just bring a whole case, give us 6 bottles, and make sure they're cold."

Chen Fan reminded her, "I drove here, I can't drink..."

"Can't I drink by myself?"

Chen Fan had to nod to the waiter, "Just do as she says."

Soon the hotpot and ingredients were served. Fang Ling poured herself a glass and downed it in one go.

"Ahh! That feels good!"

Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled.

"Co on, tell ."

"Tell you what?" Fang Ling glared.

"Tell what's bothering you."

"How do you know sothing's bothering ?"

"Co on, sister. It's written all over your face that you're upset and irritated."

Fang Ling suddenly felt a bit self-conscious.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Mm-hmm. It is."

Fang Ling poured herself another glass and stared blankly at the bubbling hotpot broth.

Chen Fan sighed, reached for a bottle of beer, opened it, and poured himself a glass.

"I'll only drink one bottle with you today, okay? I still need to drive later."

Fang Ling looked up, "Thank you, you're really nice."

"Now can you tell ?"

"Is it because of your grandmother?"

Fang Ling shook her head without explaining.

Chen Fan had to ask, "It seems you were very close to your grandmother."

This ti Fang Ling didn't shake her head, but lowered her head and said softly.

"When I was little, my parents were always busy with business, so they often sent to my grandmother's place here."

"So, I spent most of my childhood at my grandmother's house."

"She was very good to and loved very much. She often bought snacks..."

"I just never thought... I should have spent more ti with her."

As she spoke, Fang Ling's eyes had already turned red.

She raised her hand to secretly wipe away a tear, then looked up at Chen Fan.

"Do you think... the price we pay for growing up is watching our loved ones get old and even leave us?"

Chen Fan smiled wryly, "Why are you getting so sentintal?"

"Everyone gets old eventually."

Fang Ling said softly with so disappointnt, "But... I'm not ready yet."

Chen Fan picked up his chopsticks and fished around in the hotpot, picking up a piece of beef and placing it in her plate.

"Alright, stop being sentintal. Try this quickly."

"Thank you."

They ate a few pieces of at, and Chen Fan raised his glass to gently clink with hers.

"How did your grandmother pass away?"

"She died from an illness. Cerebral hemorrhage. It was sudden." Fang Ling's eyes reddened again.

"We didn't even have ti to get her to the hospital."

"I didn't even get to see her one last ti."

Chen Fan comforted her, "Actually, it's not too bad. She didn't suffer much."

"Many elderly people are tornted by illness for years before they pass away. If I had to choose, I'd prefer to go like this when I'm old."

Fang Ling muttered, "You really know how to comfort people."

Chen Fan smiled and smoothly changed the subject.

"I rember you were studying abroad, right? How is it? Are you doing well overseas?"

Fang Ling frowned and shook her head.

"Not so great. The food abroad is terrible. Can't you see how thin I've beco?"

Chen Fan laughed, "I thought you had deliberately lost weight to get like this."

Fang Ling rolled her eyes, "Who loses weight to the point where even their chest gets smaller?"

"Cough cough..."

Chen Fan choked on his food and almost spat out the at in his mouth.

Fang Ling's lips curled into a smile, revealing that her joke had succeeded.

Chen Fan asked sowhat awkwardly, "When are you going back? By the way, you're about to graduate, right?"

Fang Ling stared at Chen Fan, "So you do care about ?"

"I thought you were always trying to avoid ."

Chen Fan stamred, "What are you talking about? Can't I care about a friend?"

Fang Ling pouted, "If you really cared about , why haven't you called even once in over a year? You haven't even sent a text ssage."

Chen Fan felt embarrassed and stamred, "I... I actually don't have your overseas phone number?"

"Tong Yao has it!" Fang Ling stared at Chen Fan, "Aren't you close with Tong Yao?"

Chen Fan quickly waved his hands, "Don't say things like that. When did I beco close with Tong Yao? We're just ordinary friends..."

"Then what about ? Are we just ordinary friends too?"

"Well..."

Just as Chen Fan was feeling very awkward, Fang Ling suddenly threw out another sentence that left Chen Fan stunned.

"I'm getting married."
