Jiang Chen seemed to be scolding.
"Bro, I just blocked the entire list of relatives, I definitely didn't target you."
Hong Xiaoyu hurriedly explained.
Jiang Chen looked him up and down, and under Hong Xiaoyu's anxious gaze, suddenly cracked a grin.
"Not bad, finding a girlfriend in your freshman year, better than your brother here."
Hong Xiaoyu smiled sheepishly and inquired again, "Bro, can I stay at your place tonight?"
"Being a brother, I can't just leave you high and dry, can I?"
Jiang Chen laughed and patted his shoulder, walking out.
Hong Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Hong Xiaoyu made this request after dinner, sure enough, Hong Ou and his spouse did not object.
They had indeed been wanting to mend their relationship with their nephew.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they were told it had already been taken care of.
"It must be Zili, that kid is pretty decent."
Fang Weiguo muttered.
Indeed.
