She spoke very loudly, as if afraid that Song Yanzhi wouldn't hear her. After she finished speaking, she looked at Song Yanzhi with a gloating expression, as if to say, "Just wait until I tell on you."
Before he could even utter the word "Big Brother," Pei Yuchen stopped in his tracks.
It stopped beside Song Yanzhi.
He said gently to her, "You're back."
Song Yanzhi withdrew her gaze and looked up at him: "You were looking for me?"
Pei Yuchen nodded slightly: "I see you're out of Chinese medicine. I'll go back there later and get some from the hospital. I probably won't be back tonight, so you and Xiaobao should get some rest."
He had a stern and rigid demeanor.
Yet he spoke words that lacked authority.
It was as if she was reporting her itinerary to Song Yanzhi.
This made the female students who were about to leave widen their eyes.
Just now, Pei Qingqing said that the two of them had a bad relationship, that her older brother didn't like Song Yanzhi, that he had a childhood sweetheart, and that he still wanted to divorce Song Yanzhi, right?
Why is it different from what she said?
They were also a little scared when they first saw Pei Yuchen. Although he looked so young, his aura was stronger than that of the elders in their families, making them afraid to approach.
Unexpectedly, he spoke to Pei Qingqing's sister-in-law in this way.
When facing her, it's as if tempered steel melts into a gentle touch.
The girls looked at each other, feeling annoyed at being deceived.
Pei Qingqing stared wide-eyed in shock at the way her brother and Song Yanzhi were talking.
Just then, I heard the puzzled voices of my classmates: "Qingqing, didn't you say your brother was here to pick you up?"
An awkward expression crept onto Pei Qingqing's face, and she froze, unable to utter a word.
That was her initial thought, after all, she and her older brother hadn't seen each other for many years.
She had finally managed to come back once in a while, and her older brother just happened to show up here. What else could it be but to pick her up?
But I didn't expect to be proven wrong.
Pei Qingqing was dumbfounded.
Her older brother wasn't there to pick her up, but to find Song Yanzhi, and he spoke to her so gently.
The gentleness on her face was something she rarely showed in her life.
When did he and Song Yanzhi become so close?
Song Yanzhi nodded. She had almost forgotten about it. However, it would be convenient if Pei Yuchen wanted to go over, so she wouldn't have to make another trip.
I just didn't expect him to notice that my medicine was gone.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Her extremely polite tone made the man frown slightly.
But he didn't say anything, only saying, "Go back early."
Seeing that the two had been talking for so long without noticing her, Pei Qingqing's face turned pale and then red.
But she quickly comforted herself, thinking that it must be because they hadn't seen each other for many years and she had grown up, so her older brother didn't recognize her for a moment.
So she cried out in a wronged tone, "Big brother, it's me, Qingqing!"
Pei Yuchen did indeed shift his gaze, saw Pei Qingqing, and paused for a moment.
He was recruited very early on and spent much more time in the army than at home. Pei Qingqing was still quite young at that time.
The brother and sister didn't have much contact.
I only see them occasionally when I go home.
His younger siblings were not close to him, so there was no deep affection between them.
When Pei Yuchen saw her, his expression didn't change much.
He nodded and simply said, "You're back."
His expression was indifferent, as if he were facing a complete stranger.
In the past, Pei Qingqing wouldn't have cared about his attitude. After all, her older brother, Pei Yuchen, had always been cold-hearted and indifferent to everyone, and she was used to it.
But now I saw him speaking softly and gently to Song Yanzhi.
However, he then treated his own sister coldly.
She felt extremely aggrieved.
Isn't this deliberately making myself look bad in front of my classmates?
Pei Qingqing couldn't help but stomp her foot and point at Song Yanzhi, saying, "Big brother, do you know what she just said about me?"
Song Yanzhi raised an eyebrow: "What did I say to you?"
"You...you said I'm ugly!"
Pei Qingqing said angrily.
Song Yanzhi almost burst out laughing.
Pei Qingqing's face turned even greener.
She originally wanted to complain about Song Yanzhi's frivolous and seductive style, but seeing that her brother seemed to be treating Song Yanzhi very well now, she felt that it would be useless to say such things.
My first thought was of Song Yanzhi's words, "Why are you getting uglier and uglier?"
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
She was so surprised when she saw Song Yanzhi that she didn't react at all. Now, thinking back on it, she almost vomited blood.
She came back this time wanting to use the money to buy skincare products because her skin had developed a lot of bumps and lumps, making her afraid to even look up at school.
Song Yanzhi's words were clearly aimed at hitting her sore spot!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Seeing that Song Yanzhi was still laughing, she became even angrier: "You still dare to laugh, big brother, look at her!"
Pei Yuchen withdrew his gaze from Pei Qingqing's face and looked at Song Yanzhi.
Although Pei Qingqing's face did have a lot of blemishes, making her look rather unattractive.
However, he believes that Song Yanzhi is not the kind of person who would attack others based on their appearance.
Song Yanzhi said, "Back then you called me an ugly monster. I was wondering what kind of celestial being would call me an ugly monster. When I turned around, I saw you. Hmm... I was really surprised at the time. I didn't realize there were people uglier than me in this world, so I sighed."
“I didn’t expect you to think this was an insult. I was just telling the truth.”
After Song Yanzhi finished speaking, his delicate brows furrowed. "Are you only happy if I tell a lie?"
