Chapter 100: Pei Yuli's Deliberate Sabotage

Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan returned to their dormitory.

When I got back, I found that Pei Yutang was actually in the dormitory today, which is quite rare.

However, when they met Pei Yutang, she seemed to be about to leave.

Pei Yutang held something in one hand and answered the phone with the other.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

You could tell from the rising intonation at the end of her voice that she was in a very good mood.

After saying that, Pei Yutang opened the dormitory door and went out again.

Lu Anlan rolled her eyes behind her and said sarcastically, "I'm coming right now~"

His tone was comical, which made Xu Yihuan's eyes crinkle as she soothed him, "Alright, Anlan."

Lu Anlan plopped down in a chair: "I just can't stand her pretentious attitude every day."

"People always try to make things difficult for others to the maximum extent within the scope of their power, and this was perfectly exemplified in her and that lousy instructor!"

Lu Anlan couldn't help but complain.

Xu Yihuan sat in the chair sending a message. After listening to Lu Anlan's words, she thought for a moment.

Then he chimed in, "You're right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other end replied.

Okay, I'll wait for you at the Shiguang Coffee Shop near the school gate.

Xu Yihuan replied with "OK."

He turned around, picked up his things, and went out.

"Anlan, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back tonight."

Lu Anlan lay back in her chair, wearily scrolling through her phone. Upon hearing this, she casually nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, inside the Shiguang Coffee Shop.

In a corner, Pei Yuli and Pei Yutang sat facing each other.

"When are you going home for National Day? I think Peking University starts its holiday on September 29th this year?" Pei Yuli asked.

Pei Yutang rested her chin on her hand, idly stirring the coffee in her cup.

"Don't even mention it, we shouldn't be able to leave until October 2nd."

"Isn't our school having some kind of basketball league with the neighboring University of Science and Technology Beijing recently, where students don't go home for the holidays?"

"Our college requires the class monitor and the branch secretary of the Communist Youth League to be present."

As she spoke, Pei Yutang took out her phone, opened the forum with one hand, and handed the post to Pei Yuli.

"Here it is."

Pei Yuli smiled and took the phone.

While scrolling and reading carefully, he said, "The capable should do more. As the branch secretary, I'm working hard."

His words were not without a hint of teasing.

Pei Yutang wasn't angry; she just kept looking worried.

For some unknown reason, Pei Yuli paused in his scrolling through the posts, his gaze freezing.

A few seconds later, it quickly returned to normal.

"Do you want me to stay here with you?"

"After the basketball game on the second day, I'll take you back with me."

Pei Yutang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Pei Yuli laughed and said, "Why would I lie to you?"

He saw a familiar face in a photo on the forum.

It is Zhou Yanzhe.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanzhe ended up going to the University of Science and Technology Beijing...

If I'm not mistaken, wherever Zhou Yanzhe is, Xu Yihuan will definitely be there too...

The moment the idea took hold, a familiar figure walked in through the door.

Xu Yihuan walked in carrying her things.

The coffee shop wasn't crowded in the evening, and Xu Yihuan could spot Pei Yanzhi's location almost immediately.

She walked straight to him and sat down opposite Pei Yanzhi.

Pei Yanzhi pushed the latte in front of him toward her.

"I ordered this for you."

Although Xu Yihuan doesn't drink coffee in the evening, she still thanked him: "Thank you."

"What do you want with me?" Pei Yanzhi asked gently, his gaze fixed on Xu Yihuan without a trace of sharpness.

Xu Yihuan handed the things in her hand to Pei Yanzhi.

"This is for you."

"A gift for me?" Upon hearing this, Pei Yanzhi was unusually pleasantly surprised.

In the Pei family, he was considered the eldest child.

He rarely receives gifts from younger generations; he's the one who takes care of them.

Pei Yanzhi was surprised that Xu Yihuan would send him something, and he couldn't quite describe how he felt.

Xu Yihuan nodded: "Yes, a return gift."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yanzhi almost immediately understood Xu Yihuan's meaning.

This means she doesn't want to have anything to do with him and wants to draw a clear line.

Pei Yanzhi's gentle smile froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

He naturally took the item out of the gift bag.

"May I open it now and take a look?" Pei Yanzhi asked.

"Of course, please go ahead."

Pei Yanzhi opened the watch box.

A delicate blue watch appeared before my eyes.

The deep blue dial exudes style, appearing calm and understated.

He definitely would like it.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Pei Yanzhi said with a smile.

After saying that, he simply put the item aside without closing the lid.

If Xu Yihuan hadn't known that Pei Yanzhi was not short of money, she would have somewhat misunderstood that he was trying to show off.

Because in no time, this exquisite and extremely expensive watch attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing that the items had been delivered, Xu Yihuan casually responded and prepared to leave.

"Huanhuan," Pei Yanzhi called out.

Xu Yihuan sat down again: "What's wrong?"

Pei Yanzhi pursed his lips, hesitated, and said, "You should already know that Aunt has lost her memory, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan's relaxed expression immediately tightened.

He looked at Pei Yanzhi with hostility: "What do you want to say?"

Pei Yanzhi sighed: "No, I just wanted to say that you are, after all, your aunt's daughter. Your aunt's birthday is coming up soon, and as her daughter, you should be there."

"But now, she has indeed forgotten you. If you want to go, I can take you."

Xu Yihuan suddenly remembered what Pei Yi'an had said to her earlier that day.

Although Pei Yi'an gave a verbal invitation, he did not send an invitation letter, nor did he specify the exact time and place. Therefore, such a verbal invitation is not valid.

Xu Yihuan hesitated.

I certainly didn't want to miss my mother's birthday.

But if she agreed to Pei Yanzhi's request, she would have to put aside her desire to draw a clear line between herself and him once again.

After all, for her, such a favor couldn't be repaid simply by giving her another watch.

So Xu Yihuan pursed her lips and said, "We'll see."

As if afraid that Pei Yanzhi might say something else, Xu Yihuan quickly turned and left.

Pei Yanzhi's gaze fell on Xu Yihuan's back, his eyes filled with a deep look.

Until Xu Yihuan's figure walked out of the store.

Pei Yanzhi then looked away.

With a casual glance, he saw the watch that Xu Yihuan had given him.

Pei Yanzhi's lips unconsciously curled into a gentle smile, a genuine smile that was quite different from the Kamen Rider persona he usually displayed.

Although the watch has a bad connotation, it was still a careful choice made by the young girl.

I was just about to pick up my watch and take a closer look.

Suddenly, a cup of warm coffee was poured over it.

Every single drop was poured into the watch box, and some of it was even absorbed by the sponge underneath the watch.

The aroma of coffee filled the air.

Pei Yanzhi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ignoring the scalding heat of the coffee, he reached out and took the watch out of the box.

But it still didn't work.

The two hands inside the watch have stopped turning.

J-brand watches are known as fragile vases because they cannot withstand any external force.

They'll go on strike at the slightest inconvenience.

Pei Yanzhi suddenly looked up.

They met a smiling gaze.

It was Pei Yuli.
