Chapter 606 She's Very Well-Behaved (Thirty-Five)
Pei Yanli withdrew his hand with some disdain: "Calm down for a moment. What kind of man is this, crying and sobbing like this?"
Yan Lei wiped away his tears: "You've liked Zhou Zhiyi for so many years, aren't you afraid she'll be attracted to someone else? All these years, you've just left me to watch, what if she gets a boyfriend?"
Pei Yanli paused for a moment: "I won't come back. She likes smart and capable people. If she likes someone else, it means that person is better than me."
Yan Lei was stunned for a moment: "Du Mengmeng, that idiot, how could she be such a blind dog, liking a scumbag?"
"If she were with me, I would treat her like an ancestor."
Pei Yanli frowned at him: "Then stop crying and cheer up and go for it. Du Mengmeng is single now, so you have a chance. If you keep crying here and she likes someone else, you won't even have time to cry."
Yan Lei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "What you said makes sense. I'll go find her now."
Pei Yanli reached out and pulled him to sit on the sofa: "Calm down. What are you going there for, reeking of alcohol? To cause trouble? If you go there like this, Du Mengmeng will pay even less attention to you."
Yan Lei was frustrated: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Pei Yanli had little experience in dating, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Why don't you show her more care and attention..."
Yan Lei was shocked: "Am I not caring enough about her? She finished her night shift and said she felt someone was following her, so I rushed back from the suburbs to pick her up."
Pei Yanli remained silent; he couldn't think of a better solution either.
Yan Lei leaned back on the sofa and sighed heavily after a while: "Forget it, I must have owed her in my past life. Let her do whatever she wants, I'm happy to."
Pei Yanli: "..."
He truly hadn't realized that Yan Lei was such a devoted person.
...
Having not slept well the night before, Shangshang and the others washed up and went to bed early tonight.
Early in the morning, the nurses got up on time for their rounds.
After washing up, Du Mengmeng rushed out to help Shang Shang comb her hair: "Let me do it. Nini dried your hair last night, so I'll comb it for you today."
Shang Shang was both amused and exasperated: "You even washed my hair for me last night."
Du Mengmeng laughed heartily: "That's only right, Shangshang, your hair is so beautiful, how do you take care of it?"
Shang Shang asked in confusion, "Didn't I give you some shampoo before? It's homemade by my mom, and the ingredients are all safe. You didn't use it, did you?"
Du Mengmeng immediately shut her mouth and dared not utter a sound.
Wang Jianni, who was applying toner next to her, scoffed, "No need to ask, she definitely gave it all to Shi Jian."
Du Mengmeng started to cry, pretending to sob: "Is there any way to go back to eight years ago? I will definitely open my eyes and start anew."
Wang Jianni coldly replied, "No, you're so stupid that even if you went back eight years, you would still make a stupid choice."
Unable to argue with Wang Jiani, Du Mengmeng compromised: "What are you having for breakfast? I'll go buy some for you."
Just then, Yan Lei and Pei Yanli arrived. Yan Lei's hands were full of things, and Pei Yanli was carrying a thermos.
As soon as he entered, Yan Lei smiled and said, "Your Highnesses, I've brought you breakfast. There are steamed buns, fried dough sticks, baked flatbread, bread, and sandwiches. It's a mix of Chinese and Western food, so you can have whatever you want."
Shang Shang looked at the table full of food and laughed, "You bought so much, how are you going to finish it all?"
Yan Lei waved his hand: "It's okay, Lao Pei and I are here. We haven't had breakfast either."
Du Mengmeng seemed to have completely forgotten that she and Yan Lei had a big argument yesterday. It wasn't the first time the two had quarreled. Curious, she went over and looked through the items, praising, "Wow, Yan Shitou, you bought all the things we love to eat. This Ma Ji sesame flatbread is always in line."
Yan Lei smiled and said, "Of course, I would never let you guys down when I'm getting things done."
Pei Yanli waited until he finished making a fuss before looking at Shang Shang and asking, "Are you feeling better today?"
Shang Shang nodded: "Much better. My arm doesn't hurt as much when I raise it. I'll need an IV drip soon, and I can be discharged after that."
Upon hearing that he could be discharged from the hospital, Yan Lei immediately said, "This is fantastic news! We should celebrate! Let's go to the club tonight for some fun."
Shang Shang shook her head: "That won't do. My parents won't let me run around when I get home."
Yan Lei was surprised: "Then...does that mean you'll have difficulty even seeing Lao Pei?"
Pei Yanli also looked at Shangshang. He had actually forgotten about this. Shangshang would definitely not be allowed to go out if she went back to her family to take care of her.
In what capacity did he go to see her?
Shang Shang laughed and smiled at Pei Yanli: "I told my parents that I can go to Tsinghua University to attend classes. My mom asked my driver to take me there."
Yan Lei was taken aback. I asked, "Zhou Zhiyi, you've already told your family? It seems your parents approve of you two being together?"
Shang Shang blushed and said, "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
Pei Yanli's heart suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Shang Shang gently: "Don't pay attention to him. If you come to the class, call me and I will pick you up and take you home after the class."
"Let's eat first. Would you like some shrimp wontons?"
Shang Shang nodded: "Yes, I'll take it."
Du Mengmeng was a little surprised: "Old Pei, how did you know Shangshang likes to eat wontons? She has a habit when it comes to breakfast, she likes it to be soupy, and she will only eat soy milk and fried dough sticks if she really can't have any."
Shang Shang gently nudged Du Mengmeng: "I'm not that troublesome."
Pei Yanli smiled, took a lunchbox, opened the insulated container, and found that it was double-layered, separating the wontons and soup.
Now you can pour the wontons into the still-boiling chicken soup without worrying about them getting soggy.
Yan Lei looked at him and suddenly realized something: "Old Pei, you insisted on going back in the middle of the night last night. Did you go back to make chicken soup and wontons? You... are so virtuous. Why don't we live together?"
Shang Shang was also surprised; this was actually made by Pei Yanli himself.
Pei Yanli glanced at Yan Lei indifferently: "Stay away, don't ruin my appetite."
Du Mengmeng laughed heartily and went to choose her favorite breakfast without a care in the world.
Yan Lei glanced at her and silently handed her the fried liver she liked. Du Mengmeng took it as usual and said to Wang Jianni while eating, "This fried liver is still the best. It's generous with the ingredients and tastes authentic. You should try it."
Wang Jianni also liked it. When Du Mengmeng fed her, she opened her mouth and took a bite, not minding at all sharing a spoon with Du Mengmeng.
Shang Shang watched Yan Lei from the side, her eyes never leaving Du Mengmeng, while Du Mengmeng, looking rather silly, was still sharing with Wang Jianni what was delicious and what wasn't.
She doesn't seem like someone who has been in a relationship for eight years at all.
Jiang Zhizhi came over to deliver breakfast. She watched the five young people eating happily at the door, chattering away. She also noticed that Pei Yanli's eyes were always looking at his daughter with tenderness.
After thinking about it, I turned around and left; there was no need to deliver the breakfast.
Just as we entered the elevator, a woman suddenly rushed in, her hair disheveled, screaming like a madwoman: "If you don't let my son live, nobody else will live either..."
