Chapter 611 She's Very Well-Behaved (Forty)
Pei Yanli was stunned for a moment, then excitedly pulled Shangshang into his arms, gently avoiding her wound: "Shangshang, I...I'm so happy."
Shang Shang smiled and reached out to hug his waist: "Pei Yanli, our family has a rule, you must think it through."
Pei Yanli was taken aback: "What rules?"
Shang Shang pressed her face against his chest and laughed, "Our family strictly prohibits returns, and the consequences are very serious."
Pei Yanli chuckled softly, his chest trembling.
"No return. You're the treasure I've wanted for ten years, how could I possibly bear to return you?"
Shang Shang smiled, and Pei Yanli stepped back a little, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his warm lips then resting on her brows and eyes, and finally on her lips.
It was a very careful and precious kiss; they didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting Shang Shang.
Students and teachers passed by in the corridor, and the sounds of them discussing topics gradually became clearer, making Shang Shang's heart race and causing her to clutch his clothes tightly.
Pei Yanli kissed her with restraint, suppressing his desire: "It's getting late, shall I take you to eat first?"
Shang Shang blushed and nodded, "Okay."
The lipstick on her lips was eaten away, and now it's a different kind of vibrant red, with a glossy, dewy sheen.
Pei Yanli couldn't help but swallow hard, and reached out to wipe the lipstick she had smeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shang Shang then realized what was happening, looked up at Pei Yanli's lips, and couldn't help but laugh. They were excessively alluring. She reached out to wipe them for him, saying, "Let's hurry up and leave, or someone will see us."
Pei Yanli, satisfied, took Shang Shang's hand and led her out of the office, all the way to the cafeteria.
The students passing by could all see it, including some who had just been listening to the lecture. One of the bolder ones shouted, "Professor Pei, did you succeed in your confession?"
Pei Yanli raised their clasped hands and nodded with a smile: "Yes."
The students teased and laughed, "Does that mean we can call our teacher's wife now?"
"Madam, you look very young. Are you a student at school?"
"Madam, you must invite us when you get married, we are your matchmakers."
Shang Shang blushed, but still smiled and replied, "I'm not a student anymore. I graduated several years ago."
Everyone laughed heartily. Seeing Shang Shang's poised and generous demeanor, Pei Yanli couldn't help but smile as well: "Sorry, I didn't know they would be so enthusiastic."
Shang Shang smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It's nothing. When we were in school, didn't we also enjoy watching our teachers date?"
Pei Yanli was taken aback: "I don't think so. I prefer reading. And looking at your grades, you're always ranked one place ahead of me."
Shang Shang asked curiously, "Why didn't I notice?"
Pei Yanli thought this was easy to explain: "Because you only looked at the top two."
To be fair, their results are already quite good; one is consistently third and the other is consistently fourth. The two ahead of them are even more talented and have achieved even better results.
Shang Shang sighed and said, "My family all say I'm a very good student and the best at studying, but I always end up third in my grade, which makes me very resentful."
Pei Yanli smiled and said, "You're already very good. The first and second place winners both went abroad."
Shang Shang laughed: "Sorry, I should have paid more attention to you back then."
Pei Yanli refused: "Actually, it was fine. Back then, I was plain-looking and had acne. You definitely wouldn't have liked me."
Shang Shang couldn't help but laugh. Someone as stunning as Pei Yanli actually said that he was plain-looking.
The two chatted casually as they went to the cafeteria to get their food. Just after they finished, Yan Lei called Pei Yanli: "Where are you? Come save me, I'm going to die!"
Pei Yanli was taken aback: "Where are you?"
Yan Lei sobbed, "I'm at the club, Lao Pei, please come and save me, I'm really suffering to death."
Pei Yanli knew that the meal was off: "Yan Lei might have drunk too much again. I need to go check on him."
Shang Shang looked at the food that had just been prepared and said, "Let's pack it up. I'll go with you to see him. If he hasn't eaten yet, we can eat together."
Pei Yanli went to get takeout containers, packed up the food, and then took Shangshang to find Yan Lei.
Shang Shang was puzzled: "How could Yan Lei have drunk so much in broad daylight?"
Pei Yanli thought for a moment, then didn't hide anything from Shang Shang: "Do you know who Yan Lei likes?"
Shang Shang already knew: "Du Mengmeng, why doesn't he confess? It's not that Du Mengmeng doesn't like him, it's just that they've been friends for so many years, and she's gotten used to this way of getting along, so she overlooked the fact that she likes him."
Pei Yanli hadn't expected Shang Shang to think that way: "He wouldn't dare, because back in high school, Yan Lei wrote a love letter to Du Mengmeng, which was discovered by the teacher."
Shang Shang exclaimed, "Oh, so it was Yan Lei who wrote it. Du Mengmeng is very angry about this because her parents were called in."
Pei Yanli nodded: "That's how it is. That's why Yan Lei hasn't dared to confess his feelings all these years, and he's just been watching Du Mengmeng date."
Shang Shang found it strange: "Mengmeng was in a relationship before, but she has already broken up. Doesn't that mean she has a chance now?"
Pei Yanli wasn't sure what Yan Lei was thinking either: "Let's go and see him first. He's still quite vulnerable when it comes to emotions."
He is not the playboy that people say he is.
When the two arrived at the club, Yan Lei was drunk again and sat on the ground, holding a wine bottle and randomly pressing buttons on his phone.
Pei Yanli walked over helplessly and took the wine bottle from him: "How can Du Mengmeng like you if you act like this?"
Yan Lei didn't see Shang Shang at all. He reached out and hugged Pei Yanli's leg, sobbing, "Old Pei, my life is so hard, I'm really suffering so much."
She cried like a wronged young wife.
Shang Shang felt it was unbearable to watch and really wanted Du Mengmeng to see how badly she had hurt Yan Lei.
Pei Yanli gave Yan Lei a disdainful shove: "There are other people here, can't you just behave yourself?"
Hearing someone was there, Yan Lei instantly perked up. He then saw Shang Shang standing next to Pei Yanli. With a gasp, he scrambled to his feet and sat down on the sofa, somewhat incredulous: "Wait, Lao Pei, what are you doing bringing her here? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shang Shang smiled at Yan Lei with a mischievous grin: "Because you ruined my date with Pei Yanli! We were about to have lunch, and you made us miss out on lunch."
Yan Lei wiped his face and looked at Pei Yanli in shock: "You confessed? You two succeeded?"
Pei Yanli didn't want to upset Yan Lei, but he couldn't help wanting to share with him, so he reached out and took Shang Shang's hand: "Yes, you have to call her sister-in-law from now on."
Yan Lei screamed, "What did I do wrong that you're punishing me like this? And you're showing off your love in front of me! How am I supposed to live like this?"
Shang Shang was even more curious: "Why are you drinking at midday? Did Mengmeng offend you today?"
Yan Lei suddenly became sad again: "Du Mengmeng, she really has a heart of stone."
