After greeting Bai Liu, Fang Dian looked at Du Sanying, who was hiding behind him, with a curious and warm smile on her face, and came over to shake Du Sanying's hand: "Hello, are you a friend of Bai Liu's?"

Fearing that his misfortune would spread to others, Du Sanying backed away, waving his hand in a panicked manner, not wanting to be held by Fang Dian, who looked to Bai Liu for help.

But Fang Dian was very quick to react, she took Du Sanying's hand in one big stride, shook it twice at Du Sanying's dumbfounded look and smiled brightly and generously: "Welcome!

She waved to Du Sanying and Bai Liu and headed down the stairs with her rubbish in her hand, but as soon as she took a step Fang Dian stumbled and was about to roll down the stairs when her shoelaces came loose!

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

The next thing he saw was Fang Dian jumping up in two easy strides, landing firmly on the ground across six or seven steps and turning to them with an OK gesture and a white smile on her face, "Safe landing~"

Du Sanying is stunned.

This sister shook his hand and was infected unfortunately but is fine ......

Fang Dian knelt down and tied her shoelaces, stood up and waved at them with disinterest, "You can go in first, Mr. Lu is already back, doing the dishes in the kitchen, I'm going to throw out the rubbish."

When Fang Dian left, Bai Liu, who was standing next to the dazed Du Sanying, spoke up lightly: "I'll bring you in, so don't be so nervous, you'll be fine."

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 gazed at the corner of the stairs where Fang Dian had left, " Fang Dian is a national Grade 2 volleyball athlete, she won the provincial team championship twice in high school, she can even hold on by jumping straight from here to the ground floor."

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

Bai Liu looks sideways at Du Sanying: "She has the best fitness, coordination and performance I've ever seen."

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

"The fact that they can be my friends means that they have the ability to handle the misfortune that comes my way as a person with a luck value of zero."

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

"Go inside and eat."

Bai Liu turns in with his things.

Du Sanying took a moment of silence at the door, took a deep breath, let out a shaky fist, raised his hand and wiped his eyes hard, followed Bai Liu in with his head down.

"Thank you Mr Bai Liu."

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

Du Sanying carefully sits down on the sofa in the living room while Bai Liu lifts the things and puts them in the kitchen.

The sofa in the living room is soft leather, presumably recently purchased, with a glowing layer of pile on it, and the house looks like it has just been renovated, from the wall coverings to the furniture, all shiny and new, except for a few large pieces that are still old-fashioned and do not fit in with the outdated atmosphere of the neighbourhood outside.

The living room sofa is facing an LCD TV, an anime channel, which is playing the title song of an anime.

"I awaken the sea

Awakening the Mountains

......

Even if there are billions of kilometres

One ton of luggage

We don't give up

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

The coffee table is covered with a hand-knitted woollen blanket and cluttered with a variety of children's toys and half-finished crafts, a few unfinished puzzles and one or two children's drawings.

Du Sanying picks up the children's drawing, at the top of which is the crayon writing [Quan family fortune], which must be the subject of the request.

There is a father, a mother and a child in the picture, and someone, presumably a woman, squatting next to them.

This child has drawn this woman with a particularly wide smile, showing eight large teeth, and next to it is written [My favourite Mr. Fang! !

Below Fang Dian has annotated a line of commentary in red pen: [Nice drawing! I know you like it when teachers want me to join your family, but I'd be ruining the family if I did, haha! (smiley face)]

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

[No, teachers have their own homes too (hand-drawn dog head with a rose.jpg)]

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

These drawings should have been failed and were sent back for redrawing, so they were all brought back by Fang Dian, as most of the children in these drawings, which were supposed to be [Quan family foo], drew more Fang Dian.

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

Du Sanying, while scorning himself for his rude behaviour of looking at other people's drawings, could not help but continue to look at them.

Probably because the kid had spread the word earlier that Mr. Fang was not allowed to join other people's families alone, everyone then racked their brains and let their imaginations run wild to get Mr. Fang to join their family.

Some of the children have given Fang Dian a new position, depicting her as a dog with a bone crouching next to them.

Fang Dian's comment: [Sensei still prefers to be human, jojo!

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

Fang Dian's comment: [Acknowledgement to the young master! It's better to discuss with your own mother and father when you take in someone else's family! (Kneeling and hugging servant villain.jpg)]

Another child, probably under the tutelage of Picasso, actually split his mother and father down the middle to put Fang Dian in the picture, with half of them looking like normal parents, but the other half looking like Fang Dian.

Fang Dian Review: [How can a broken me join a broken family? (Half of the villain who covers his face and weeps.jpg)]

The more Du Sanying looks at it, the more he wants to laugh. He picks another one up, only to be struck by surprise when he turns it over.

It's not a painting, it's a hand-drafted wedding invitation with a long list of various, categorised guests to be invited - colleagues, friends, family, etc.

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

The kitchen door was thrown open and Du Sanying, startled, scrambled to put the invitation away, but was seen by Bai Liu who came out of the kitchen and leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Du Sanying hung his head in shame, as if he had done something ten times more wrong: "Trying to help clean up a bit, and then I saw the invitation ......"

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

Lu Yizhan peeks halfway out of the kitchen, his tone more puzzled than Bai Liu's, "Yeah, who else could it be?"

"Who are the bridesmaids?" Bai Liu asked.

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

After saying that, Lu Yizhan retracted his head again, and after a while, Lu Yizhan seemed to think of something and his voice came out through the kitchen door in a slightly raised voice: "Eh! Bai Liu, write down a list of all the people you've brought here this time! Don't forget!"

"I invited mine, I invited Fang Dian's, and I haven't invited your best friend."

Lu Yizhan's tone is so natural that it seems 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 returned.

Tang Erda, carrying the wine, looks serious in her formal attire, Mu Sicheng, who is carrying a meal in his hands, his eyes glowing, Muke is followed by four butlers and seven large black boxes of who knows what, 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 throwing out the rubbish and brought them up with me."

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

Tang Erda's jaw was taut, this was the first time he had been in Bai Liu's nominal friend's home, and there was a ...... strange nervousness as he solemnly handed the wine to Fang Dian: "Please."

Fang Dian took the wine and scanned it, she had a big grin and didn't look at it, she just put it on the shoe cabinet.

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

A bottle of wine worth more than 60,000, freshly sobered, just melted away quietly on the shoe cabinet, and even Tang Erda, who had disposed of the bottle securely, didn't care for it after entering the house.

Together with Du Sanying, his body is stiff, his back straight, his consciousness dazed, he sits solemnly on the sofa watching Happy Together on the television.

Mu Sicheng was much more familiar, and came in with two big pockets of stuff and asked Bai Liu: "You told me you didn't get the brains and duck intestines! You can't eat hotpot without them!"

Bai Liu's eyes moved down to the plastic pocket in Mu Sicheng's hand, "Buy it and send it to the kitchen for disposal."

Muke walked in, he told the butler to stay outside the door, slightly apologetic and displeased with himself, frowned and said to Bai Liu, "It's too late to buy too good ingredients, I went to those restaurants and cut a batch, I don't know what the quality is, if everyone can eat it, if you don't like it later then don't eat it."

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