Chapter 638 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty-Seven)
After finishing her meal, Shang Shang picked up her phone and waved it, but still no call from Pei Yanli. She muttered to herself, "No signal?"
Shen Fanxing sat on the sofa, munching on an apple while watching Shang Shang.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he spoke up to remind him: "Pei Yanli's hometown is in the mountains, there's definitely no signal there. Even if you shake your phone until it falls apart, he still won't get a signal."
Shang Shang pouted and snorted softly, "I didn't say I was going to call Pei Yanli. I just shook my arms and stretched."
Shen Fanxing rolled her eyes: "Shangshang, you're being a little dishonest now, saying one thing and meaning another."
Shang Shang snorted and leaned closer again: "Good star, can you calculate for me when Pei Yanli will contact me?"
Shen Fanxing was shocked and reached out to touch Shang Shang's forehead: "My darling, I may be good at divination, but I can't possibly be able to calculate such a small thing, can I?"
Shang Shang chuckled and then hugged Chen Fanxing again: "So, can you tell whether you're having a boy or a girl?"
Shen Fanxing nodded: "Sure, but I don't know how to calculate it. That's so boring, there's no surprise at all."
Shang Shang asked curiously, "You can resist? Don't you want to know if it's a boy or a girl so you can prepare the clothes?"
Shen Fanxing found it strange: "Does it have to be so complicated? Just buy them all, and donate the ones you can't wear later. We're not short of money anyway. I still prefer surprises."
Shang Shang laughed: "Did you call Zhi Yun? He doesn't know about this good news yet."
Shen Fanxing shook her head: "They haven't called me yet, so the mission isn't over. Just wait."
She's gotten used to this feeling of frequently not being able to contact someone, and not knowing when she'll be able to.
Shang Shang sighed, somewhat admiring Shen Fanxing's composure.
She was already restless and anxious after only one day of not being able to contact Pei Yanli.
For the next two days, Pei Yanli didn't contact Shangshang either, which puzzled her. She even called Wang Jianni and asked, "Do you think Pei Yanli will run into any trouble after he goes back? If his cell phone has no signal, there's still a landline. He can call me from a landline."
Wang Jianni laughed, "You're too anxious. In that mountain area, probably very few homes even have landlines. Don't worry too much; Pei Yanli will definitely contact you whenever he has time."
Shang Shang said "Oh," but was still a little unhappy: "I'm just afraid that something bad might happen to him."
Wang Jianni disagreed: "No way, what bad thing could happen? Fanxing is here, why don't you ask Fanxing to do a fortune telling?"
Shang Shang was amused: "No, I can't go to her, she'll laugh at me. If something really happens, she'll definitely tell me."
Seeing that Shang Shang was unhappy, Wang Jianni thought for a moment and said, "Let's invite Mengmeng to come and sit with Yan Lei. I haven't seen Yan Lei since they got together."
Shang Shang had no objection: "Perfect, I'm off today too, I'll just drive over in a bit."
On the way to Yan Lei's club, Shang Shang received a call from Pei Yanli.
However, the other party's signal was very weak, and he hurriedly told Shang Shang that he was fine and that she should not worry.
I went back soon after I finished my work.
Hearing Pei Yanli's voice, Shang Shang felt much more at ease and drove to Yan Lei's club in a good mood.
Smiling, she hugged Du Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, it's been so long! You look even more beautiful now."
Du Mengmeng didn't believe it and hugged Shang Shang: "I'll believe you if you say I'm thin, but I don't believe you if you say I'm pretty. Don't I know what I look like?"
Yan Lei came over, affectionately pulled Du Mengmeng over, and put his arm around her shoulder: "No matter what you look like, you are definitely the most beautiful in the world."
Du Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him: "You really are... can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Yan Lei smiled and said, "I'm not making this up. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are definitely the most beautiful in my eyes."
Du Mengmeng laughed and pushed Yan Lei away, saying, "Alright, if you keep talking nonsense, aren't you afraid Shangshang will laugh at you?"
Yan Lei laughed heartily: "Shangshang isn't an outsider, what are you laughing at?"
Shang Shang looked at the two with a smile; they were indeed a very sweet couple.
Moreover, Du Mengmeng, standing next to Yan Lei, exuded the charm of a young girl.
After making a few jokes, Yan Lei looked at Shang Shang seriously and said, "Mengmeng told me that you were worried about Lao Pei? Don't worry, he's fine outside, doing very well."
"Several projects are good, but his hometown is in a remote mountain village where there is no cell phone signal. If he wants to make a call, he has to climb two mountains and then find a signal."
Shang Shang exclaimed, "Pei Yanli called me on the way here, but the signal was really bad."
Yan Lei clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect Lao Pei to be so focused on women and neglect his friends. I've told him eight hundred times to remember to call me, but he still hasn't."
Shang Shang smiled and said, "The signal is really hard to find."
Du Mengmeng smiled and took Shang Shang's arm: "Alright, you were happy to receive Pei Yanli's call today, weren't you? Let's have a drink."
Shang Shang quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I can't drink alcohol, I have a very low alcohol tolerance."
Du Mengmeng laughed and said, "It's okay. Professor Pei isn't here, so we definitely won't bully his little white rabbit. Nini and I will drink. Last time, it was at her wedding that I got drunk."
As soon as Wang Jianni entered the door, she heard Du Mengmeng challenging her. She shoved her bag into Chen Shuo's arms and said, "Okay, Du Mengmeng, you said it yourself, so don't blame me for not going easy on you."
The two of them really did go and have a drinking contest.
Yan Lei and Chen Shuo didn't stop them; after all, they were in their own club, so nothing would happen.
Shang Shang watched the two laughing and joking from the side.
...
At home, Shen Fanxing fiddled with the sandalwood eight-treasure compass that Pei Yanli had given her, muttering to herself as she did so.
Their little expressions were all very serious.
Jiang Zhizhi brought over some cut fruit and placed it next to Shen Fanxing: "What's wrong? You've been fiddling with this all afternoon, looking so serious."
Shen Fanxing pulled Jiang Zhizhi to sit down: "Mom, look at this, it looks very strange."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't understand at all: "You just said what it is? I don't understand this."
Shen Fanxing pointed: "Look here. By the way, I'm doing this for Pei Yanli. He seems to be in danger."
Jiang Zhizhi was startled, feeling that this was used in a rather strange way. She turned her head and looked at her in surprise: "Pei Yanli is in danger? What kind of danger? Life-threatening danger?"
Shen Fanxing exclaimed, "No, it's not that simple. After all, our Shangshang has a very good destiny. Just because of that, Pei Yanli won't be in any danger. He might just suffer some physical pain."
Jiang Zhizhi said anxiously, "That won't do either. Pei Yanli is a member of our family now. He can't be injured. Tell me what happened."
Shen Fanxing pointed to the compass: "Looking at this, Pei Yanli was about to be plotted against. Looking at this, he managed to evade the plot. But looking at this, he was ambushed again and this time he couldn't evade it, and then he got injured."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned; she couldn't understand what Shen Fanxing was saying.
But she was still very anxious when she heard that Pei Yanli was injured: "How serious is it? Do we need to go over? He doesn't have any family now, and Shangshang will definitely be heartbroken if she finds out."
"Should we tell Shangshang about this?"
Shen Fanxing shook her head repeatedly: "No, we can't tell Shangshang. I've calculated that if Shangshang goes here, she will be seriously injured, so she can't go."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "If that's the case, then I'll go over there and ask Yan Lei for an address."
