Chapter 101: Passionate and Direct Love
"Sorry, bro, my hand slipped."
As he spoke, Pei Yuli placed the coffee cup in his hand on the table next to him.
He did it on purpose, so what?
Why should his sister send things to Pei Yanzhi?
Xu Yihuan's knowledge of watches all came from him. Now she wants to use the knowledge she learned from him to please other men?
Don't even think about it!!
Unexpectedly, what Bai Yutang said was true; Pei Yanzhi and Huanhuan's relationship actually improved!
If he hadn't spent several months in the lab, how could Pei Yanzhi have had the chance to get close to Huanhuan?
Pei Yuli's face turned ashen.
Pei Yanzhi stared at Pei Yuli for a few seconds, then noticed something, and his tense face suddenly relaxed.
She raised a faint smile, appearing quite magnanimous: "It's alright."
"I believe you didn't mean to either."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuli subconsciously frowned.
Pei Yanzhi isn't such a generous person...
As expected, Pei Yanzhi then added, "You may have misunderstood. Huanhuan brought me the things to thank me for helping her, but now that the things are broken, I think I still need to tell Huanhuan."
Upon hearing Pei Yanzhi's words, Pei Yuli's brow twitched.
What's going on? What did he do for Xu Yihuan? Did he help her get rid of Bai Yutang?
Is this really enough to warrant Xu Yihuan giving him a 200,000 yuan watch?!
Does Pei Yanzhi deserve it?
Although Pei Yuli didn't understand.
But listening to Pei Yanzhi's words, he still understood what he meant.
Pei Yanzhi had helped Xu Yihuan before, and Xu Yihuan wanted to use this watch to settle things with him.
Pei Yuli's heart tightened.
I blurted out instinctively, "Wait!"
Pei Yanzhi paused, holding his phone, and looked up at Pei Yuli, asking with confusion, "What's wrong, Yuli?"
"Don't tell her. Give me the watch, I'll fix it for you," Pei Yuli said awkwardly, taking a deep breath.
Since Xu Yihuan is ready to sever ties with him, that's a good thing.
But now that they've broken the watch themselves, they can't even settle their differences anymore.
Pei Yuli couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Pei Yanzhi chuckled softly upon hearing this.
His gaze fell on Pei Yuli's wrist, on the same J brand watch, and his words carried a hint of sarcasm: "J brand watches, I'm sure Ah Li knows them better than I do. Even if you take it to be repaired, it probably won't be able to be restored to its original condition."
"Let it go, Ali. Don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault. You should thank me."
Pei Yanzhi's last words were, "I'm not even pretending anymore."
After saying that, Pei Yanzhi took the watch that was soaked with coffee, put it back in the bag, and left.
Pei Yuli was left alone, standing there with a dark expression.
...
After two peaceful days of classes, the National Day holiday arrived in no time.
The basketball game is on October 2nd.
On the afternoon of October 1st, Lu Anlan started packing her things with her butt sticking out.
"Bring a few more bottles of water, just in case there's a handsome guy."
"I need to find a couple more nice outfits."
"It's been sunny these past few days, so you'll need to bring an umbrella, otherwise it'll be too hot to walk around."
Lu Anlan rummaged through her cupboard, muttering to herself.
I searched for ages but couldn't find my umbrella.
Lu Anlan scratched her head, clearly remembering that she had used it when she went to class yesterday.
With a casual tilt of my head, a black umbrella came into view.
Is this hers or Xu Yihuan's?
Lu Anlan's gaze fell on the balcony. Xu Yihuan was on the phone, and it wasn't convenient to disturb her.
Never mind, let's tidy up first and ask Huanhuan when she comes in.
Xu Yihuan was on the balcony outside, talking on the phone with her father.
"Yes, I won't go back for National Day. I'll go back whenever you're home."
Hearing Xu Yihuan's words, Xu's father's voice lowered considerably, and he seemed somewhat saddened.
"It's all because Dad is too busy. I'll come to Beijing to be with you after this period is over."
"I'll take this opportunity to inspect the branch office in Beijing as well."
Xu Yihuan smiled upon hearing this: "Okay, then I'll take you out to play when you come."
Mr. Xu laughed out loud with joy.
Then, as if remembering something, she asked naturally, "Have you seen your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan paused for a moment.
In fact, she never knew why her parents divorced in the first place.
As far as I can remember, my parents have always loved each other very much.
The mother initiated the divorce, but the father disagreed, and the two argued for two years.
It's like a clash of titans, one side insisting on forcing the other to bend down before it'll stop.
During that period, she and Pei Yuli were like two orphans who had no one to care for them.
During that same period, Pei Yuli was bullied at school for a long time. By the time she found out, his personality had become more sinister than before.
So she never understood why a family that clearly loved each other would fall apart.
Hearing her father's words, Xu Yihuan's voice was low: "I saw him, he's doing well, he didn't mention you."
Knowing what her father wanted to hear, Xu Yihuan answered in advance.
Xu Rongyu seemed a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "You brat, who asked you?"
Xu Yihuan hummed twice, concealing the fact that her mother had amnesia: "That's true. I only met her once during an event."
"Do you think the Director of the Translation Department is as easy as cabbage, someone you can just meet once you come to the capital?"
Xu Rongyu was furious when her true feelings were exposed: "I already said I didn't have that thought, I was just asking casually."
"That wicked woman has already divorced me. Even if she comes begging, I won't forgive her easily!!"
Xu Yihuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She wanted to say something, but the phone just then went dead.
Xu Yihuan glanced at her phone, and the smile on her lips faded.
In the past, Xu's father's love was passionate and straightforward, but after the divorce, it gradually became more subtle and cautious.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the extent of his love for Pei Yi'an.
I don't know if my father can accept that my mother has amnesia...
Xu Yihuan looked into the distance, her face filled with worry.
A moment later, he turned around and went back to his dormitory.
As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Lu Anlan came to greet him.
"Huanhuan, you're back! I brought your umbrella with me, you can use it to shield yourself from the sun tomorrow."
Xu Yihuan was out of her mind and, upon hearing Lu Anlan's words, thought he was telling her to bring an umbrella.
He casually replied with two "okay"s, then reached into the drawer, took the umbrella out, and stuffed it into his backpack.
...
Inside the indoor stadium of Beijing University of Science and Technology, next to Peking University.
The newest team had just finished their final training session.
Tomorrow they will be playing against the Kyoto University team.
Zhou Yanzhe lifted his shirt, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and picked up his water glass to drink.
The supervising teacher walked over at that moment.
"Aze, how are you? Are you alright?"
During military training, Zhou Yanzhe accidentally twisted his ankle.
However, after resting for two weeks, he was already back to normal basketball training without any problems.
Zhou Yanzhe looked down at his ankle.
He said calmly, "It's nothing."
The instructor patted Zhou Yanzhe on the shoulder with a look of trust: "It's good that you're alright."
"Aze, as you know, it's precisely because of your good skills and your strong assurance that you'll be fine that we're letting you participate in this competition."
"You must not let us down."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe glanced contemptuously at his teammates who were chatting lazily behind him.
He replied, "Okay, Coach, I understand."
The coach nodded and turned to leave.
After the coach left, Zhou Yanzhe squatted down and pressed his ankle hard.
A slight pain came, but after I let go, there was nothing left.
Zhou Yanzhe lowered his eyes.
There's no other way; I have to go to Kyoto University.
