Chapter 584 She's Very Well-Behaved (Thirteen)
Shang Shang glared at Fan Xing: "What you're doing is immoral."
Shen Fanxing laughed: "He has someone he likes, not a girlfriend. It has nothing to do with morality."
Shang Shang sighed, "Let me think about it some more."
Before I could figure out how to reply to Pei Yanli, he sent another message: Are you free on Friday? I have a class in the morning, and we can go to the cafeteria together after class.
Shang Shang first asked Shen Fanxing, "Pei Yanli invited me to dinner on Friday."
Shen Fanxing tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, then suddenly had a mischievous idea: "Go, dress up nicely before you go."
Shang Shang nodded: "Okay, I'll reply to him."
She lowered her head obediently and replied to Pei Yanli that she was free on Friday and could come to see him.
Shen Fanxing couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the two naive, elementary school-aged couple in love. The Zhou family had really spoiled Shang Shang too much, which was why she was so well-behaved.
Pei Yanli is no innocent lamb; they're probably already sharpening their knives, ready to slaughter this little white rabbit.
While waiting at the traffic light, Shen Fanxing couldn't help but reach out and pinch Shang Shang's cheek: "You, if I were a man, I would hide you away and not let anyone see you."
Shang Shang glanced at her sideways: "You're really greedy. You've already captured Zhou Zhiyun, and you still want to lay your hands on me?"
Shen Fanxing laughed heartily: "Because you're cute."
The two joked and laughed as they headed home. Shang Shang handed the car to Shen Fanxing and then took a taxi home.
She had nothing to do these past few days, so she stayed home and chatted with Zhou Chengyu.
As Zhou Chengyu got older, she became somewhat confused and repeated many things over and over again. Shang Shang never got annoyed and would just repeat them to her.
While chatting with Zhou Chengyu, Pei Yanli sent her another message, sending her his weekly course schedule, and adding at the end, "In addition to the above schedule, I also need to go to the lab, which is in Zhongguancun."
Then another message came in, sending the lab's detailed address.
Shang Shang couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the message, feeling as if Pei Yanli was reporting his schedule to her.
Zhou Chengyu watched the little girl playing on her phone with a smile on her face and asked, "Is our Shangshang dating someone?"
Shang Shang quickly denied it: "No, Grandma, she's just a friend."
Zhou Chengyu, however, didn't hear this and laughed, "Bring your boyfriend back to your great-auntie. If you get married, your great-auntie can see your child. Then your great-auntie will have no regrets."
Shang Shang reached out and hugged her arm: "Grandma, if I had a friend, I would definitely bring her back to show you."
Zhou Chengyu nodded: "What do you do for a living, young man?"
Shang Shang was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that Zhou Chengyu hadn't listened to a word she said: "Grandma, we're still friends, not boyfriends. But he is a university professor."
Zhou Chengyu was satisfied: "University teachers are great. They are smart, and our Shangshang is a smart kid too."
Shang Shang thought for a moment: "However, his conditions don't seem to be good."
Zhou Chengyu was silent for a moment: "Your parents have given me a lot of money over the years, and I've saved it all up. I'll give it to you later."
Shang Shang laughed: "Thank you, Grandma, I have money too!"
While chatting casually with Zhou Chengyu, her mind was already wandering to Friday when she was going to see Pei Yanli.
On Friday morning, Shang Shang got up and ate breakfast. After her parents left, she started choosing clothes: should she wear a skirt or jeans?
While she was hesitating, Shen Fanxing called her: "Hurry up, come downstairs, I'm waiting for you downstairs."
Shang Shang was taken aback: "I haven't changed my clothes yet, why aren't you coming up?"
Shen Fanxing smiled mysteriously: "Just put on any clothes and hurry up, or we'll be late."
Shang Shang completely trusted Shen Fanxing. She dressed casually and went downstairs. Shen Fanxing was waiting at the entrance of the building and waved to her: "Get in the car quickly, I'll take you to choose clothes."
Shang Shang hesitated before getting into the car: "I have clothes at home, so I don't need to deliberately choose clothes, right?"
Looking at the sun obscured by dark clouds outside the window, Shen Fanxing smiled and said, "Of course we should. Let's go, I'll pick out a beautiful outfit for you so that Pei Yanli will be captivated by you the moment he sees you today."
Shang Shang hesitated: "There's no need to be so formal. I'll just order something casual, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable."
Shen Fanxing assured her, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll make you feel comfortable and beautiful."
She took Shangshang back to her rented apartment. There were already many clothes on the sofa. Shen Fanxing went over and picked up a light purple sundress: "Wear this."
Shang Shang glanced at it and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, this is too cold."
Shen Fanxing handed her a jacket and said, "Don't worry, I've put together a coat for you."
She picked up a beige, loose-fitting long cardigan and said, "Wear this on."
Shang Shang looked relaxed and casual, and was somewhat tempted: "This is fine, but wouldn't it be inappropriate to go to school?"
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "Why not? I'll give you a simple haircut in a bit. Who wouldn't like a gentle and quiet little beauty? Besides, the weather's not good today, so this will keep you warm."
Shang Shang actually thought Shen Fanxing's words made sense: "Okay, this outfit will do."
Shen Fanxing called her assistant over to do Shang Shang's hair into a bun, telling her not to make it too elaborate, just a casual updo would be fine.
After tidying up, Shen Fanxing personally escorted Shang Shang to her date.
Shang Shang wanted to say that it was no trouble, she could drive there herself, but Shen Fanxing insisted.
On the way, Shang Shang sent Pei Yanli a message, but he didn't reply, probably because he was in class. However, they had agreed on a meeting place, and Shang Shang was very familiar with the Tsinghua University campus.
When they arrived at the school gate, Shen Fanxing urged her to get out of the car quickly: "You should go now, I'll come pick you up later."
Before Shang Shang could wave goodbye, Shen Fanxing drove off.
Shang Shang was stunned for a moment, wondering why Chen Fanxing was running so fast.
She hadn't walked far into the campus when she realized that her clothes were inappropriate. She got hot after a few steps, so she took off her jacket, revealing a tank top underneath, which was also inappropriate.
Moreover, the weather forecast clearly said that it would be cloudy and overcast this morning, so how come the sun suddenly came out now!
Merchants dared not walk too fast, fearing that walking too fast would make it even hotter, and they regretted listening to Shen Fanxing's advice.
When I arrived at the cafeteria entrance where I had arranged to meet Pei Yanli, I found a shady spot under a tree and stood there. Looking up at the bright sun, I felt like I was about to melt from the heat.
After class, Pei Yanli rushed over and saw Shang Shang standing under a honeysuckle tree in the distance. The green leaves and small red fruits made her look even more gentle and serene.
He quickened his pace and stopped in front of her: "Have you been here long?"
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, he quickly said, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria first."
Shang Shang was too hot to talk and was in a bad mood. She smiled slightly and followed Pei Yanli into the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was crowded and hot. Pei Yanli noticed that Shang Shang had her eyes downcast and her face was flushed. He thought for a moment and said, "It's hot in the cafeteria. Do you want to take off your coat?"
