Chapter 375: Pre-season

After Fang Dian greeted Bai Liu, she looked over to Du Sanying, who was hiding far behind him, and with a curious and enthusiastic smile on her face, she walked over and extended her hand to shake Du Sanying's hand: "Hello, are you a friend of Bai Liu?"

Afraid of spreading his misfortune to others, Du Sanying backs away, waving his hand in a nervous and constrained manner, not wanting to be gripped by Fang Dian, who looks to Bai Liu for help.

But Fang Dian's reaction was very fast, she took Du Sanying's hand in one stride, shook it vigorously twice in Du Sanying's dull eyes, and smiled brightly and generously: "Welcome, welcome!"

Waving her hand to Du Sanying and Bai Liu, she carried her trash down the stairs, but as soon as she took a step, Fang Dian stumbled and staggered when her shoe laces came undone, and she was about to roll down the stairs!

Du Sanying's pupils shrunk, "Eh-!!!"

Immediately afterward, he saw Dian Fang easily jumping up in two big steps, landing steadily on the ground six or seven steps away, and turning to give them an OK sign, with a grin on his face revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Safe landing~"

Du Sanying was stunned.

This sister shook his hand and got infected unfortunately, but it's okay ......

Dian Fang squatted down to tie her shoes, stood up and waved at them carelessly, "You guys go in first, Old Lu is already back, getting the dishes in the kitchen, I'm going to throw out a trash first."

When Fang Dian left, Bai Liu, who was standing next to the stunned Du Sanying, spoke faintly, "I'll bring you here, so you don't have to be so nervous, nothing will happen."

Du Sanying looked down, pinched her fingertips twice as hard as she could, and whispered, "But just now, she still almost fell ......"

"She won't fall." Bai Liu stared at the corner of the staircase where Fang Dian left, "Fang Dian is a national level 2 volleyball player, she won two provincial team championships in high school, she can stabilize herself by jumping directly from here to the first floor."

Du Sanying looked up in shock, "Eh?!"

Bai Liu looked sideways at Du Sanying : "Her fitness, coordination, and grades are the best I've ever seen."

"Your misfortune may still infect those around you." Bai Liu's eyes were calm, "But here are all my friends."

"The fact that they can be my friends means that they have the ability to handle the misfortunes on me, a person with a lucky zero, very well."

Bai Liu looked levelly at Du Sanying : "Then they can handle your misfortune properly."

"Go in and eat."

Bai Liu carries his things and turns to go inside.

Du Sanying was quiet at the door for a while, took a deep breath, gave a shaky fisted hmmm, raised his hand and wiped his eyes hard, lowered his head and followed Bai Liu inside.

"Thank you Mr. Bai Liu."

"You're welcome, to each his own." Bai Liu said.

Du Sanying carefully sat down on the living room couch, and Bai Liu lifted the stuff into the kitchen.

The living room sofa was soft leather, it should have been bought not long ago, with a layer of light on its plush, and the house looked like it had just been under renovation, from the wallpaper to the furniture were all shiny and new, only a few big pieces were still old-fashioned, which did not fit in with the atmosphere of the stale neighborhood outside the house.

The living room couch was facing an LCD TV, an anime channel that was playing the title song of an anime.

"I awaken the sea

Awakening the Mountains

......

Even if it's a billion kilometers.

We don't give up.

It takes courage to move forward ......"

A hand-knitted woolen blanket was padded under the coffee table, which was cluttered with an assortment of half-finished children's toys and crafts, a few unfinished jigsaw puzzles and one or two children's drawings.

Du Sanying picks up the children's drawings, and at the top is the crookedly written [Family Portrait] in crayon, which should be the subject matter of this drawing request.

There was a father, a mother and a child in the picture, with someone, presumably a woman, crouching next to them.

This kid drew this woman with a particularly big smile, showing eight big teeth, and next to it was written [My favorite teacher, Mr. Fang! .

Below Fang Dian approved a line of comments in red pen: [Nice drawing! I know you're like the teacher wants me to join your family, but I'll ruin the family if I do, haha! (smiley face)]

[Can't the teacher join our family? (child's handwriting, a big crybaby face)

[No, the teacher also has his own home (hand-drawn dog's head holding a rose.jpg)]

Du Sanying couldn't help but laugh a little as he began to pick up the paintings littering the floor, one by one.

These paintings were supposed to be failing assignments that were sent back to be redrawn, so they were all brought back by Fang Dian, because most of the children in these paintings, which were supposed to be [family portraits], drew more Fang Dian.

It was fun to watch Fang Dian and these kids go back and forth.

Du Sanying spat at himself for his impolite behavior of looking at other people's drawings, but he couldn't help but continue to look at them.

Probably because the kid from before spread the word that Mr. Fang couldn't just join someone else's family alone, everyone next racked their brains and let their imaginations fly in order to be able to get Mr. Fang to join their family.

Some children found a new position for Fang Dian, drawing her as a dog with a bone crouching next to her.

Fang Dian commented: [Teacher still prefers to be a human being, jojo (Hand-drawn dog with a bone wink.jpg)

Some children drew two families directly, including Fang Dian's entire family in their own family portrait, but because the picture was too narrow to fit, Fang Dian and her family squatted in front of the child's family.

Dian Fang commented: [Enlightened young family head! It's better to talk to your own mom and dad when taking in someone else's family! (Kneeling down and clasping fists servant villain.jpg)]]

There was also a kid, probably under the tutelage of Picasso, who, in order to put Fang Dian in the picture, actually split his mom and dad in the middle, with one half of his mom and dad looking like the normal ones, but the other half of his mom and dad looking like Fang Dian.

Dian Fang's comment: [How can a broken me join a broken family? (Covering my face and shedding tears as half a villain.jpg)]]

The more Du Sanying looked at it, the more he wanted to laugh, and he picked up another one, only to be baffled when he turned it over.

It's not a painting, it's a hand-drawn, drafted wedding invitation style, with a long, categorized list of all sorts of guests to be invited, what with coworkers, friends, family, and so on.

Bai Liu's name is first on the [Family] line, next to the parentheses (main table proper).

The kitchen door was pushed open, Du Sanying was startled and fumbled to put the invitations away, but Bai Liu, who had come out of the kitchen, saw him and leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Du Sanying hung his head in shame, as if he had done something terribly wrong: "I wanted to help clean up a little bit, but then I saw the invitation ......"

Bai Liu casually turned the invitation over as he scanned it, paused, and turned his head to the kitchen, "Lu Yizhan, I'm the best man?"

Lu Yizhan poked his head out of the kitchen, and he sounded even more puzzled than Bai Liu: "Yeah, who else could it be?"

"Who are the bridesmaids?" Bai Liu asked.

Lu Yizhan frowned for a moment as he recalled, "Fang Dian seems to be planning to invite her high school best friend, but it's not finalized yet."

After saying that, Lu Yizhan shrunk his head back again, and after a while, Lu Yizhan seemed to have thought of something, and his slightly elevated voice came out indistinctly through the kitchen door: "Eh! Bai Liu, you write a list of all the people you brought here this time! Don't forget!"

"Invited mine, invited Fang Dian's, haven't invited your buddy yet."

Lu Yizhan spoke so naturally, as if it was only natural that Bai Liu and Bai Liu's best friend should be present at his and Fang Dian's wedding ceremony.

The door was pushed open and someone came back.

Tang Er, carrying a bottle of wine, glows at Mu Sicheng, who is dressed in formal attire with a serious face and carrying a meal in his hand, followed by Mu Ke, who has four Guan Jia and seven big black boxes with no idea what they contain, with Michelin three-star ingredient labels on them.

Standing directly in front of them, Fang Dian smiled at Bai Liu and said, "I saw them downstairs when I was taking out the trash and brought them up with me."

"No need to change your shoes, just go straight in." Fang Dian beckons.

Tang Er hit his jaw taut, this is the first time he came to Bai Liu s nominal friend s home, there is a ...... strange tension, he solemnly handed the wine to Fang Dian : "Trouble."

Dian Fang took the wine and scanned it; she was too big-headed to look at it closely and put it right on the shoebox.

"You're welcome, and you brought wine! Come in and sit down!"

Worth more than 60,000 dollars a bottle, just woke up the wine just quietly melt on the shoe cabinet, even Tang Er hit after the bottle of wine handled securely into the house did not care about the bottle of wine.

He joins Du Sanying, his body rigid, his back straight, conscious and solemn, on the couch watching "Happy Superman" playing on the TV.

Mu Sicheng was much more familiar with the situation, and came in with two big pockets of stuff to ask Bai Liu: "How dare you tell me you didn't get the brain flower and duck intestines! How can we eat without them?"

Bai Liu's eyes moved down to the plastic pocket on Mu Sicheng's hand, "Buy it and send it to the kitchen to be processed."

Mu Ke walks in, he tells Guan Jia to stay outside the door, slightly apologetic and dissatisfied with himself, frowning at Bai Liu, "It's too late to buy too good ingredients, went to those restaurants to cut off a batch of them, I don't know what the quality is like, can we all eat them, wait until you eat them if you don't like them then don't eat them."

Bai Liu, who bought $167 in frozen goods and two pounds of discounted oranges, calmly chimed in, "Well, so do you."
