Chapter 581 She's Very Well-Behaved (Part 10)
Du Mengmeng was somewhat surprised to see Pei Yanli: "Pei Yanli? What brings you here?"
Pei Yanli glanced at Shang Shang first, then smiled gently and said, "Come and buy a cup of coffee."
When he saw Shangshang through the glass window, he couldn't help but walk in.
When Wang Jianni saw Pei Yanli, her eyes lit up. She reached out to grab Shang Shang. If she wasn't afraid that Pei Yanli would see her, she would have screamed and shouted, "Shang Shang, look! This is your type!"
Du Mengmeng didn't think much of it; after all, Pei Yanli had been abroad for many years, so it was normal for him to like drinking coffee.
"What would you like to drink? I'll go buy it for you."
Pei Yanli smiled and declined, "No need, you guys go up first, I'll go up after I buy it."
While speaking, his gaze couldn't help but glance at Shangshang. She was also very well-behaved today. The pale yellow color suited her well, making her look soft, sweet, and obedient.
Du Mengmeng didn't stand on ceremony: "Okay, we'll introduce ourselves when we go up. Yan Lei is already urging us to go up. Let's go up first."
After saying that, he took Shangshang's arm and walked out, but he was eager to go out and gossip.
As they came out of the coffee shop, Wang Jianni spoke first: "My God, Pei Yanli is simply a gem! Shang Shang, is he your type? Refined and elegant, and with fair skin."
Shang Shang blushed and pushed Wang Jianni's arm, saying, "Jianni, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Du Mengmeng calmed down by now: "Yes, although Pei Yanli is handsome, he has someone he likes in his heart, so he is not good enough for our Shangshang."
Wang Jianni didn't care: "What's wrong with liking someone? Our Shangshang is so beautiful, who wouldn't like her?"
Shang Shang looked at her two friends helplessly: "You guys, let's go, hurry upstairs."
In the private room, all the male classmates except Pei Yanli had arrived, and Yan Lei had already arranged the seats.
Seeing the three of them come in, Yan Lei greeted them with a smile: "Come, come, come, let's sit here. Jia Ni, you sit here. Meng Meng, sit next to Jia Ni. Zhi Yi, sit here."
After Shang Shang sat down, she noticed there was an empty seat next to her, and Yan Lei was sitting next to the empty seat.
Looking at the table again, after everyone was seated, there were no more empty seats.
So, when Pei Yanli arrives later, will he sit next to her?
My little heart started pounding again, but I kept a straight face and pretended to be nonchalant.
Du Mengmeng had already started chatting with several male classmates. She works as a financial reporter and occasionally appears on television, so they were more familiar with her.
Wang Jianni has always had an eccentric personality and doesn't like to talk to male classmates. She just sits there drinking tea and watching everyone chat.
Until Pei Yanli came in.
Yan Lei quickly called out, "Come on, Lao Pei, come sit here. We've been waiting for you to serve the dishes."
Pei Yanli, holding a cup of coffee and carrying a bag of small cakes, sat down and casually placed it in front of Shang Shang: "This coffee shop offers discounts for members and gives out cake coupons. I exchanged three for you girls to share."
Shang Shang had no suspicions and even thought Pei Yanli was good at managing money. She opened the bag and found three small cakes inside: one strawberry, one mango, and one shaped like a little rabbit.
Du Mengmeng had already come over and handed the strawberry one to Wang Jiani: "Jiani loves strawberries, I'll eat the mango one, but you're allergic to mangoes, so you can eat the little rabbit one."
After finishing speaking, he neatly divided the cake.
Pei Yanli was somewhat surprised: "You're allergic to mangoes?"
Du Mengmeng helped explain: "Yes, Shangshang is allergic to mangoes, but it's okay. These are three cakes, right? The bunny is perfect for Shangshang."
Pei Yanli smiled and then greeted the other students at the table.
Yan Lei then urged everyone to drink: "No feast is complete without wine. What gathering doesn't involve drinking? Today it's my treat, order whatever you like, even the most expensive wines."
Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani had no objections and drank alcohol at work.
Shang Shang rarely drinks alcohol. When he does drink, it's only at family dinners, where he drinks some fruit wine brewed by Su Li.
When Yan Lei tried to pour her a drink, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't drink. I drove here."
Yan Lei, determined that he would only have a chance if he drank, tried his best to persuade Shang Shang: "Why don't you leave the car here and I'll take a taxi to take you home? You should have a drink, it's a fun class reunion today."
Before Shang Shang could speak, Pei Yanli said, "Don't force yourself to drink, everyone can just relax."
Yan Lei glanced at Pei Yanli with disdain. This relationship hadn't even started yet, and he was already protecting him. His eyes lit up with a wicked idea.
Then let Pei Yanli drink more, and then let Zhou Zhiyi take Pei Yanli back. That way, there will be a story going on.
The food was served, and the wine glasses were filled.
Yan Lei was busy easing the atmosphere and then gave an introduction to everyone.
Shang Shang doesn't drink alcohol, but she only started eating slowly when she saw them toasting and drinking. When she found something delicious, she would put some on Du Mengmeng's plate: "Mengmeng, this is delicious, you should try some."
Pei Yanli was dealing with the people he was chatting with while keeping an eye on the merchants around him.
She eats very well, quietly and gracefully with her head down, her cheeks puffed out. When she finds something she likes, she smiles and goes to find Du Mengmeng beside her.
I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol or something else, but for a moment I was actually a little envious of Du Mengmeng.
Unable to resist, she moved closer to Shang Shang and asked, "Is this delicious?"
Just as Shang Shang finished sharing the delicious food with Du Mengmeng, she suddenly heard Pei Yanli's voice. He seemed very close to her, as if he were whispering in her ear.
She blushed, but still calmly turned to look at Pei Yanli.
He was indeed very close to her, only a foot away, which made Shang Shang's heart race again, but she spoke with utmost calmness: "Which one are you talking about? This 'Sanbuzhan' I just ate was delicious, sweet and not greasy."
Pei Yanli met Shang Shang's clear black and white eyes, and couldn't help but fold his eyes slightly, smiling: "Hmm, I thought it was steamed egg, so I didn't eat it."
Shang Shang was somewhat surprised: "This 'Sanbuzhan' is very famous. Haven't you tried it before?"
Several large restaurants in Beijing make this dish very well.
A sudden thought flashed through my mind: was it possible that Pei Yanli's family was not well-off in the past, so they never ate at restaurants?
Pei Yanli shook his head: "I've never eaten it."
Because I'm not interested in sweets.
Shang Shang instantly felt that she might have guessed right. Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she said sincerely, "You can try it. It's not very sweet, and it tastes delicious."
Pei Yanli's smile deepened: "Alright."
He actually used a spoon to scoop out a piece and ate it. Shang Shang was instantly overjoyed and smiled, "Isn't it delicious?"
Then she quickly added, "This braised fish maw is also delicious, mainly because the broth is made very well."
Yan Lei watched Pei Yanli, the old fox, tricking the little white rabbit, and his teeth ached. Didn't he say before that she was fine and that he was happy to see her?
Are you already going to stop being human?
