Not long after Xia Zhen went out, she came home with a huge doll in her arms, and the two elders of the Xia family were very surprised. "Is this from Xiao Pei?" Papa Xia asked.
Xia Zhen nodded with a smile, Xia's father was quite disdainful, and said, "You are not a three-year-old kid, and you still give this kind of thing."
"What do you know? It's called a girl's heart." Ms. Tian retorted, "You want him to give you an engagement ring so you're happy?" If you ask Ms. Tian who she loves to argue with, it's not Xia Zhen, but Mr. Xia. But usually she will end soon when Mr. Xia raises an argument, because Mr. Xia doesn't fight with her.
No, Mr. Xia picked up the newspaper he had already read on the table and flipped through it again. "All right, all right, as long as my daughter likes it, I can give you anything."
Xia Zhen smiled and said, "Dad, this is what I've wanted since two years ago."
After hearing this, Mr. Xia put down the newspaper again, "Then if you don't tell Dad, Dad will buy it for you."
"Forgot." Xia Zhen said that on purpose.
Ms. Tian interjected, "Why did you come back so soon? Why didn't you go on a date?"
Xia Zhen's expression changed slightly, and she said, "He has something to do."
Ms. Tian didn't say anything anymore, Xia Zhen took the teddy bear into the room and put it on the bed, admiring it alone.
After a while, Xue Chen called and asked her to have dinner with Da Qu and the others. Xia Zhen agreed after thinking about it. Recently, we have too little time to get together. We still need to keep in touch with each other more. We can't neglect everyone just because we have something to do with Xue Chen.
"I'm near your house, I'll go pick you up." Xue Chen said, of course he couldn't let Xia Zhen know that he was already waiting under her house.
Xia Zhen ignored his thoughts and said, "Okay, when will you be there?"
"ten minutes."
Xia Zhen went downstairs after eating an apple to satisfy her hunger. When facing Xue Chen, she was already calm, just like before.
After watching the acrobatic performance last night, Xue Chen and Xue Nan came from the back row. Xia Zhen thought later that they should have seen the interaction between her and Pei Chengan. She knew that they were very close at that time. When Xue Nan exchanged greetings with Pei Chengan, Xue Chen basically didn't speak much, but Xia Zhen knew that he stared at the hand she and Pei Chengan were holding for a long time.
Xia Zhen thought, he should give up, right? Even if he didn't give up, seeing her so close to Pei Chengan proved his position.
"Have you adapted to your company?" Xia Zhen asked with concern in the car.
"It's been so long, I've gotten used to it."
"That's good, you're about to become an urban elite. However, since you haven't performed for so long, don't you feel itchy?"
"It doesn't itch." Xue Chen's expression was indifferent, he had always been like this, but Xia Zhen and the others understood his temperament, which was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so they didn't mind.
Although he didn't mind, it also showed that he was not interested in chatting, so Xia Zhen stopped talking.
Xue Chen's mood was still complicated. What Pei Chengan said before made him feel uncomfortable. He had a lot to say to Xia Zhen, but he himself knew that he was not qualified.
"Do you... know about my sister and Pei Chengan?" Xue Chen asked.
Xia Zhen pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I know." She looked relieved, and Xue Chen was a little disappointed.
"How much do you know?" In fact, Xue Chen knew that this matter was only serious to Xue Nan, and to others, it was just a trivial matter. He also encountered similar things, and he didn't sympathize with Xue Nan. He didn't want to tell Xia Zhen about this, but he just wanted to destroy her and Pei Chengan.
He becomes less like himself, and he despises himself.
"I know that Miss Xue Nan said that she wanted to marry Pei Chengan when she was a child. She was a child. I also said before that she wanted to marry a physical education teacher." Xia Zhen really didn't take this matter to heart.
Xue Chen laughed at himself and said nothing more.
Pei Chengan was having dinner at senior brother Dou Shuai's house. There were eight people gathered around a table, which was very lively, but he was a little absent-minded.
They are all biology students and pay more attention to food hygiene, so they generally don't like to eat outside, and even dinner parties are mostly held at home.
At a party, it's all about talking, laughing and talking, and eating is second. Pei Chengan was originally a person who didn't talk much, so it's not surprising that he was silent.
Of course, Dou Shuai, who knew him best, saw the clues.
Taking advantage of the time when Pei Chengan was leaving the table to go to the balcony to cool off, he walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Did you have a bad time with your girlfriend?"
"No, why do you ask that?"
Dou Shuai said: "Seeing that you have something on your mind, I can guess. Could it be that you are missing someone?" Pei Chengan who fell in love has changed, and Dou Shuai finds it very novel.
"no."
"Tsk! This is your fault. When your girlfriend is not around, you should think about her all the time." Dou Shuai had already taken the position of Pei Chengan's case advisor.
Pei Chengan thought for a while and asked, "What should I do if there is a rival in love?"
"Rival in love! It hasn't been long, and you have met a rival in love? But it can be seen from this that Miss Xia of your family is also an attractive person. See what I said, there must be someone who can charm us for ten thousand years. Charming." Dou Shuai talked a lot.
Pei Chengan pointed out indifferently: "You didn't answer my question."
Dou Shuai smiled triumphantly, "It's not easy. What happened when you met a competitor before? Isn't it just that you redoubled your efforts and let the opponent fail."
"I haven't met a competitor before." Pei Chengan told the truth.
Dou Shuai was at a loss for words, and immediately said angrily: "Hmph! Xueba is amazing!"
"You are also a top student."
"In front of you, I dare not take these two words."
"Work hard?" Pei Chengan fell into deep thought. Xue Chen told him that, even though he firmly believed in himself, he still felt a sense of crisis. He felt that Xia Zhen's feelings for him were a bit unstable. Before, he thought it would be good to develop slowly like this, but now he always felt that he had to do something.
Work hard...how to work hard
He didn't think about it yet, but he didn't ask too many questions.
"Senior Brother Dou, they called you over." Lu Mengqi came over and said with a smile. She was in the same school as Dou Shuai and Pei Chengan, but when she was a freshman, Pei Chengan was about to graduate. She has just graduated with a master's degree, and it has only been half a month since she came to the institute.
Dou Shuai passed by, but Lu Mengqi did not leave, but walked towards Pei Chengan. She has a sweet smile, and the breeze blows her long white dress, which is very beautiful. However, Pei Chengan didn't notice any of this, and at this moment, he opened the call log with his mobile phone.
"Senior Brother Pei, are you full?" Lu Mengqi asked softly.
Only then did Pei Chengan raise his head, nodded and said, "I'm full." Then he lowered his head and pressed the dial button, putting the phone to his ear.
Seeing that he was going to make a call, Lu Mengqi retreated wisely, but her steps were slow.
The phone was picked up quickly, and Xia Zhen was making a lot of noise, and her voice sounded a little excited. "Why call me now, are you finished eating?"
"Well, haven't you finished eating yet?" Hearing her voice, Pei Chengan's mood would always become cheerful.
"No, chat while eating."
Pei Chengan smiled and asked, "Are you friends from those bands?"
"Yes, I've been too busy these days, I haven't had dinner with them for a long time, so I'm getting together today." Xia Zhen explained.
"Senior brother Pei, eat some fruit."
Before Pei Chengan could answer, he was interrupted by Lu Mengqi, who politely said to her, "Eat first."
Lu Mengqi still walked forward, holding a small plate of fruit in her hand, and said with a smile: "There won't be any later, there is your favorite pineapple, you can try it." She didn't seem to know that Pei Chengan was on the phone. He picked up a piece of pineapple and brought it to Pei Chengan's mouth.
Pei Chengan frowned slightly, and said, "I'll eat after the phone call, thank you." He took the fruit fork from Lu Mengqi's hand and put it back on the plate.
Lu Mengqi didn't take it seriously, she still smiled, put the fruit plate in his hand, and said, "Then I won't disturb you." After she finished speaking, she left.
"So you like eating pineapples." Xia Zhen said quietly.
"It's not my favourite." Pei Chengan also didn't understand why Lu Mengqi said that he likes pineapple.
"Oh, then who was that person just now?" Junior sister? Are you familiar
"The new colleague who entered the research institute half a month ago graduated from the same school as me." Pei Chengan answered truthfully.
"Oh, Da Qu and they called me, I won't tell you anymore."
"good."
"goodbye."
"Wait a while."
Xia Zhen was puzzled: "Huh?"
"Do you have anything else to do in the afternoon? Or in the evening." Pei Chengan wanted to see her. Ever since he met Xue Chen, he had wanted to see her.
"I'm going to visit an old friend with Da Qu later. He is sick and lives a little far away. He may not come back until very late." This is the truth. One of their friends just had a major operation and is currently They didn't know the news until they were recuperating at home, so they decided to visit together.
Since there is no time, there is no way.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Chengan walked into the room with the plate of fruit.
Dou Shuai quickly joked: "Hey, have you finished talking with your little girlfriend?"
Pei Chengan smiled and said nothing.
The others also made fun of him with Dou Shuai, but Pei Chengan took it lightly and let them talk. In the end, Lu Mengqi changed the subject and talked about the past.
"Senior Brother Pei is always so popular, and it is still a legend in our academy."
"Still?" Dou Shuai asked.
Lu Mengqi and You Rongyan said, "Of course, he is still the male god of all the girls in the School of Biology."
"Is he also your male god?" Someone asked maliciously.
Lu Mengqi was not shy, but admitted generously, "Of course, from the first day I entered the academy and met Senior Brother Pei, he has been an insurmountable male god in my mind." When she said this, her eyes Looking directly at Pei Chengan, with a confident smile on her face, people couldn't tell whether she was joking or really liked Pei Chengan.
In any case, these words were very ambiguous, but she was so ambiguous that everyone thought she was joking.
"I'm not a male god." Pei Chengan looked serious. He didn't like being called a male god very much.
Dou Shuai said: "It's not up to you, just like me, if my wife says I'm her male god, then I am."
"When did I say that you are my male god? How could I say such a thing!" Dou Shuai's wife came out of the kitchen and said very shamelessly.
Dou Shuai finds a step down for himself. "You said before, you forget, if you forget, forget it, I remember it alone."
"I didn't forget, it's just that you missed it. I said 'male nerve', don't be sentimental."
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed, and Dou Shuai blushed.
The topic was changed again, but Pei Chengan could feel Lu Mengqi's gaze cast on him from time to time. After sitting for a while, Pei Chengan excused himself to leave first. Everyone thought he was looking for a girlfriend and let him go easily.
But unexpectedly, when he went out, Lu Mengqi also found an excuse to leave.
While Pei Chengan was waiting for the elevator, the sound of high-heeled shoes walking quickly came from behind him. He looked back.
Lu Mengqi walked over with a smile and said, "I have something to go back too."
Pei Chengan gave a faint "Yes", and he always kept a distance when dealing with girls, so as not to be misunderstood.
"Ding." The elevator door opened.
Pei Chengan and Lu Mengqi walked in. There were only the two of them in the elevator, Pei Chengan didn't intend to exchange pleasantries, but Lu Mengqi quickly found a topic. In fact, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to Pei Chengan.
"Senior brother Pei, I have read all your papers published in scientific journals, and I think you are really great, can I ask you any questions I don't understand in the future?"
"Can."
"That's great, thank you Senior Brother Pei." Lu Mengqi was as excited as a millet.
