Fang Hongjian works at Zhoujia Bank in Shanghai. After stabilizing, out of politeness, he went to visit his old classmate Su Wenwan who returned to China on the same boat.
Ms. Su's attitude was very cold when she saw Fang Hongjian, and she was completely different from the time she left when she returned to China. Fang Hongjian was confused. Only from his words did he learn that Miss Su had seen the notice published by his father-in-law in the Shanghai newspaper that she had bought her doctoral degree was exposed.
The embarrassing Fang Hongjian took advantage of the situation to curse the Shanghai News and briefly explained the origin of his father-in-law and a fake doctor. He joked that buying diplomas and accepting relatives are all his funny and harmonious ways of following the customs.
After listening to Fang Hongjian's explanation and self-deprecation, Miss Su, who already had a relationship with him, became more and more positive, and instead advised him not to care. Fang Hongjian was grateful that she could speak, and the two resolved the misunderstanding and talked about family matters. Speaking of the excitement, Miss Su introduced her cousin Tang Xiaofu and Fang Hongjian to meet.
Tang Xiaofu is a petite woman in her twenties, with a pure appearance and a simple dress. Fang Hongjian fell in love with her at first sight and thought she was a pure white lotus. In order to leave a good impression on Miss Tang, he approached her without saying a word and praised her in a long way.
Ms. Tang also saw that Fang Hongjian showed kindness to him, and smiled in his heart, feeling that he was a little slick and deliberately did not appreciate it.
While three people were joking, a tall and arrogant man came in. His name is Zhao Xinmei and he was pursuing Miss Su. Zhao Xinmei acted arrogant and rude when she saw Fang Hongjian. This made Fang Hongjian very puzzled.
Later, Fang Hongjian realized that Zhao Xinmei treated him as his rival and was jealous. And this is exactly what Su Wenwan is happy to see. She took advantage of the situation and seemed close to Fang Hongjian, and her words and deeds were all hinting that she had different emotions with Fang Hongjian. She wanted to use Zhao Xinmei to inspire Fang Hongjian's courage and hope that the two men would fight for her.
The clever Tang Xiaofu watched the excitement leisurely.
Fang Hongjian naturally understood Su Wenwan's meaning, but he was not interested in this classmate, and his attention was all on Miss Tang.

After leaving the Su family, Fang Hongjian was happy that he met Miss Tang, and was also upset that he was too soft-hearted. He obviously didn't like Miss Su, but he was afraid that she would be sad and unconsciously cater to her. At the same time, he was worried about whether Miss Tang had a boyfriend.
On the tram, Fang Hongjian saw that the female middle school students in love were wearing heavy makeup. Thinking that Miss Tang had no deliberate decoration, she guessed that she didn't have a boyfriend yet. He was very happy about this.
The next day, Fang Hongjian was invited to the Su family again. When he saw Zhao Xinmei still mocking him jealously, he just smiled kindly. Miss Tang, who was unknown, was naturally surprised.
And Miss Su thought Fang Hongjian knew her intentions and showed a kind of victorious magnanimity. How could she know that Fang Hongjian already has something to do with him? At the banquet, Miss Su and Zhao Xinmei were busy chatting with Mr. Shen and his wife. Fang Hongjian and Miss Tang encountered the strange smell of Mrs. Shen one after another. The two understood it, chatted and laughed intimately, and were outside the crowd.
Miss Tang is often so funny that she blushed by Fang Hongjian. Fang Hongjian's heart beat faster when he sees this.
He took the opportunity to tell Miss Tang that the reason why he didn't care about Zhao Xinmei was that he and Miss Su had no close relationship at all. He took the opportunity to invite Miss Tang and Miss Su to have dinner the next night.
Fang Hongjian successfully attracted the attention of Miss Tang.
Su Wenwan was full of jealousy and unhappiness when she saw Fang Hongjian chatting with her cousin, but she was not close to her. When she said goodbye, Fang Hongjian saw that Miss Su was unhappy and began to pity her again. He deliberately pretended to be jealous of Zhao Xinmei, making Miss Su happy.
In fact, he was all pretending to be Miss Tang. He lay on the bed at night and relived Miss Tang's smile and voice over and over again in his heart.
The next morning, Fang Hongjian carefully prepared for the evening banquet, but unexpectedly, Miss Su called and said that she was unwell and could not go to the appointment.
Fang Hongjian was worried that Miss Tang would not be able to go to the appointment, so he was uneasy all day long. Finally, he came to the booked hotel in a bad mood and waited for Miss Tang anxiously. Just when he was worried, Miss Tang came to the appointment, and he was really cheering.
It turns out that Miss Tang, who seemed quiet, was rebellious by her cousin's intentional absence. The more her cousin didn't want her to go to the appointment, she insisted on going to the appointment. This inadvertently fulfilled Fang Hongjian's wish, and the two had the opportunity to communicate alone.
During the conversation, Fang Hongjian was surprised to find that the two were interested in many things.
The next folding fan incident brought the relationship between the two one step closer.
Fang Hongjian's humor and witty always make Miss Tang smile happily. In this way, the two young men slowly approached each other.

In the following month, Fang Hongjian met Miss Tang seven or eight times and wrote more than a dozen letters to her. When he received the first reply from Miss Tang, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He savored the words in the letter over and over again. He fell in love with this girl deeply.
Gradually, his letter to Miss Tang became a casual memoir and a "whisper".
Love is happiness, and the days in love are sweet. Whenever there is a date, Fang Hongjian feels that even the air is sweet. Gradually, the more they got along, the deeper they felt, and they wanted to stay away from separation.
For Fang Hongjian, Miss Tang was a ball of fire, and he was willing to pounce on her like a moth. This is how it is to fall in love with someone sincerely. Love is unknown, and it is deep.
But Fang Hongjian is too cowardly. He loves Miss Tang in his heart, but he doesn't want to hurt Miss Su, so he just drags it around and deals between the two women.
And beside Miss Su, in addition to Fang Hongjian and Zhao Xinmei, another Cao Yuanlang who can write poems came. She enjoyed the fact that these men surrounded her and held her, hoping that other men could inspire Fang Hongjian's jealousy and propose to her.
One day, because of Zhao Xinmei's ridicule and instigation, Fang Hongjian got drunk. Miss Su was worried about him and personally sent him home. In the drunkenness, the two sat in the yard. Fang Hongjian could not resist Miss Su's initiative and kissed.
Only after kissing him did he realize that he had made a mistake. So he made up his mind and wrote a letter to tell Su Wenwan that he had something else to love. Su Wenwan mistakenly thought it was Fang Hongjian's proposal letter, so happy that she couldn't wait to call him without even opening the letter.
Fang Hongjian was at a loss for a moment and had to say in French, "I love another woman, please forgive me a thousand times." Su Wenwan was so angry that she scolded him as a bastard on the phone.
Angered, Su Wenwan told Miss Tang all the disastrous things that Fang Hongjian had passed.
Miss Tang was both angry and sad after hearing this. Although she still loves Fang Hongjian, she is proud of herself and cannot bear the deception from her lover.
After seeing Fang Hongjian, she said resolutely, "Mr. Fang's past is too rich. I want to be able to occupy his entire life. I just hope Mr. Fang has a bright future." Her words made Fang Hongjian feel ashamed and burst into tears.
Ms. Tang wanted to cry when she saw him like this, but she was stubborn and refused to cry. Fang Hongjian could not withstand the wind and rain of his heart, and thought in despair that their breakup could no longer be restored.
Helplessly, Fang Hongjian said goodbye silently. Miss Tang wanted to keep her, but her self-esteem made her unable to say it.
It was raining heavily outside. She saw Fang Hongjian in the window upstairs, and she felt so distressed that she wanted to give up her self-esteem and asked him to come back, but at this moment, Fang Hongjian turned around and left.
Despite this, Miss Tang couldn't help calling the Zhou family, wanting to find out if Fang Hongjian was safe at home, but the sad Fang Hongjian mistakenly thought it was Su Wenwan's phone call, and before the other party could speak, she just vented. The relationship between the two was completely broken.
Ms. Tang looked at Fang Hongjian’s return letter, thinking about his past goodness, and felt heartbroken. She was so arrogant that she was seriously ill, but she was unwilling to bow her head and bow down, so the two of them missed it like this.
Su Wenwan also quickly married Cao Yuanlang. Zhao Xinmei suddenly realized that he had always been self-indulgent towards Su Wenwan, and Fang Hongjian was not his rival.
Fang Hongjian finally left with his indecisiveness and cowardice because of his personality.
During the days of love breakup, Fang Hongjian's daily life and work have completely changed, and he feels so weak that he feels that life has no energy. Later, he offended Mrs. Zhou because he was in a bad mood, and was forced to leave the Zhou family and lose his job.
In desperation, he had to borrow the matter of teaching at Sanlu University to avoid such a lot of embarrassment and displeasure.
"Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out." In fact, in life, there is also a "besieged city" everywhere, and we are all in a besieged city.
Fang Hongjian's broken love warns us: If you love, please love deeply. If you step on two boats, you will definitely capsize.
Fang Hongjian didn't want to step on two boats, but he still capsized. The reason is that he is too soft-hearted, cowardly, and undecisive in his work. When one of his feet was firmly grasped by Miss Su, he clearly loved Miss Tang and knew in his heart that Su Wenwan was interested in him, but he did not make up his mind to refuse. He was still lying around Su, which made people misunderstand. This led to him being unable to break free even if he wanted to. As a result, he hurt both women severely and missed his favorite in his life.
