The group of guys was wailing on the other end of the line. Even if Si Huan’s phone was of excellent quality, there was still a lot of static. Moreover, Huo Tian’s five senses were sharp, so she naturally heard their address clearly.

An awkward feeling rose in Huo Tian’s heart. She shifted her gaze awkwardly and looked at the yellow and green weeds in the cracks of the bricks by the roadside.

Si Huan looked over at Huo Tian curiously and saw that the tips of her ears seemed to be a little red. It was unknown if it was because the weather was too cold or because she felt shy from how those people had addressed her.

A light smile appeared on his lips. He was in a good mood, so he wasn’t that unbearable to hear those fellows shouting on the other end of the line.

There was a commotion on the other end of the line, and then the voices suddenly stopped. Then, Zhao Feng said helplessly, “Si Huan, these guys are all drunk. They’re making a fuss about letting you bring Huo Tian over for another round. You don’t have to pay them any heed.”

Si Huan’s initially eased expression darkened slightly and he asked, “What did they say?”

Zhao Feng hid from Fang He and the other drunkards in case they snatched his phone away, then said to Si Huan helplessly, “They all think you’re a pitiful little guy who is bullied by the Si Family. They say that you look down on your old friends. When they know your true situation, they’ll regret it.”

Only then did Si Huan realize that Zhao Feng’s gathering with his old friends tonight wasn’t pleasant. He didn’t have much of a relationship with those people, so he didn’t mind too much when he heard this. He casually said, “In that case, go home early.”

Zhao Feng had a stomach full of anger tonight and was unwilling to return home with gloomy emotions. He said, “I’ll go find you. There are some things I need to tell you.”

“Then let’s go to the Riverside Apartments.”

Si Huan’s parents and grandfather were no longer around and he was the only one left at home. Therefore, unless necessary, he stayed in the small apartment he bought later on. Zhao Feng was an enthusiastic person and was often worried for Si Huan, who lived alone. Therefore, he had become a regular customer of that apartment.

Zhao Feng broke off from the group of noisy friends and got the substitute driver to drive to Si Huan’s apartment. It just so happened that Si Huan had also reached home. He was very surprised to see Zhao Feng’s troubled expression.

“Even if Fang He and the others look down on me, there’s no need for you to be so angry, right?” Si Huan poured a cup of water and handed it to Zhao Feng. “I don’t care about their opinions at all. You shouldn’t take it to heart either.”

Zhao Feng took the cup and drank half a cup. He shook his head and said, “They are a group of clowns, flattering others and trampling on those who are lower. They think that you’re in dire straits now and think that they can step on you. When they know the things in your hands, they’ll be able to have a clear recognition of themselves.”

Si Huan was puzzled. “Since you can accept it, why are you still so depressed?”

After not hearing Zhao Feng’s reply for a long while, Si Huan looked over inquiringly and realized that Zhao Feng was frowning tightly, looking like he was hesitating if he should speak.

“You’re having some troubles?” Si Huan leaned against the bar counter and looked at Zhao Feng with concern. “You’ve always been an optimistic person. I rarely see you like this.”

His good friend’s concern made Zhao Feng feel a lot better. He tried to reveal a somewhat forced smile and said emotionally, “You’ve changed a lot. Now, you can also care about the feelings of the people around you.”

Si Huan’s action of drinking water paused. Before this, he hadn’t realized that he had changed. But when he thought about it carefully, Zhao Feng was indeed right. In the past, he was cold and unsociable, indifferent to anyone, so much so that Zhao Feng often suspected that he would one day get tired of life and choose to commit suicide.

However, after meeting Huo Tian, everything became different.

Si Huan smiled and said, “Don’t bring the topic onto me.. Tell me what happened tonight.”
