Chapter 108: Either Girlfriend or White Moonlight
Xu Yihuan's three consecutive questions made Pei Yuli subconsciously frown.
Upon hearing about the divorce, a dull ache rose in his temples.
Frowning, she looked at Xu Yihuan and practically fled: "What are you saying? I don't understand."
After saying that, Pei Yuli quickly left.
Sensing that Pei Yuli's reaction was a bit off, Xu Yihuan subconsciously wanted to chase after him.
But the thought of Pei Yanzhi coming to find her later made her feel deflated.
Not long after Pei Yuli left.
A Porsche Cayenne pulled up in front of me.
Xu Yihuan opened the passenger door and got in.
As soon as she got in the car, Pei Yanzhi handed her an orange luxury gift bag.
Xu Yihuan could tell at a glance that it was a bag.
Looking at Pei Yanzhi, she wondered what he was up to.
Pei Yanzhi noticed the confusion in Xu Yihuan's eyes.
He explained with a smile, "Consider it a return gift."
Then he paused again, as if mentioning it casually.
"It's a pity, though. The watch you gave me was broken by Pei Yuli before I even had a chance to wear it."
Upon hearing the key point, Xu Yihuan asked, "What's broken?"
Pei Yanzhi seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing.
She pursed her lips in annoyance.
She explained softly, "After you left, Pei Yuli accidentally spilled coffee on his watch and broke it."
He emphasized the words "by accident" very heavily.
Xu Yihuan's eyes flickered, and she almost instantly understood what was going on.
I guess it's Pei Yuli who's got some issues; I don't know what's wrong with him, he's suddenly become possessive for no reason.
He felt that only he could wear J brand watches.
Xu Yihuan sneered twice: "I know, I'll give you a few more in a couple of days."
"I'd like to see how many more times Pei Yuli can break this."
Xu Yihuan's voice clearly showed signs of anger.
Pei Yanzhi touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.
He changed the subject, saying, "Look at what I gave you, do you like it?"
Xu Yihuan didn't move.
He asked directly, "Why did you call me here?"
He only said on the phone that he needed to talk to her about something important, but didn't say what it was.
Pei Yanzhi's eyes flickered.
"It's nothing, just about my aunt's birthday in the middle of the month. Do you want to come with me?"
Birthday party...
Xu Yihuan's eyes flickered as she thought of this.
She and Pei Yi'an haven't seen each other since they parted ways at the mall.
Although Pei Yi'an verbally promised to let her go, there was no follow-up after that.
Xu Yihuan leaned back in the car seat, her fingertips gently tapping the gift wrapping bag.
A silence fell over the car.
Pei Yanzhi didn't urge her, and just waited quietly.
After a long while, Xu Yihuan's muffled voice was heard.
"good."
Despite the complexities of interpersonal relationships, the desire to see her mother ultimately prevailed.
Pei Yanzhi seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and chuckled softly.
"I think your aunt will be very happy to see you."
...
After finishing our meal, we returned to our dorm.
It was only 2 p.m.
After saying goodbye to Pei Yanzhi, Xu Yihuan returned to her dormitory.
Passing by the first canteen.
Many more student clubs have started recruiting new members at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Most of them are school and community organizations; it's rare to see foreign language departments.
After casually looking around, Xu Yihuan discovered that the Foreign Language Association was still there, just in a different location.
Xu Yihuan walked over.
The senior students in the Foreign Languages Association were dressed very fashionably.
She had an eyebrow piercing, wore Western-style makeup, a short top, and camouflage cargo pants.
In October, the capital city was already experiencing occasional cool breezes, and Xu Yihuan was afraid that a gust of wind would blow and chill her belly button.
However, the usually aloof senior immediately smiled upon seeing Xu Yihuan, appearing quite enthusiastic.
He shoved the recruitment poster in his hand into Xu Yihuan's hand.
"Hi junior, would you like to check out the Foreign Language Association? We have weekly foreign language training sessions, and there are various departments where you can learn different less commonly taught languages!"
"As you should know, junior, to get a diploma from our school, you need at least 240 points. We can add up to 50 points in a semester. If you work for two semesters, you can get 200 points."
Xu Yihuan glanced at the poster in her hand; it was exquisitely made.
After listening to her senior's words, she slowly asked, "If I don't want to go to the training, can I skip it?"
The senior student's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly, but she still smiled and said, "Of course, our training is based on the principle of voluntariness."
Xu Yihuan nodded.
"Okay, thank you, senior." Xu Yihuan said calmly, then took the recruitment poster and left to go back to her dormitory.
She was completely unaware that someone was silently watching her from behind.
"Hey, Jiang Jinnan, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Jinnan stood there, gazing intently at Xu Yihuan's departing figure.
Hearing his roommate's words, he finally snapped out of his daze.
"Oh, let me see what clubs are recruiting here."
Upon hearing this, my roommate glanced around.
Just as I was about to say something to Jiang Jinnan, I turned around and saw that Jiang Jinnan had already walked straight ahead to... the Foreign Language Association?!
My roommate jogged to catch up with Jiang Jinnan.
"No, what are you doing here? Don't you like drawing? Isn't the art club right next door?" He had just walked around looking for the art club.
Jiang Jinnan is arguably the best painter in their dormitory.
Even if it's not lifelike or exquisitely realistic, at least a few strokes can reveal the shadow of a celestial being.
He had drawn one before during military training.
He spent twenty-one days in military training and then spent those twenty-one days painting that picture.
The girl in the painting is wearing a school uniform, smiling broadly, with delicate and exquisite features.
However, if you haven't seen it in person, it would be difficult to draw it so specifically.
In addition, they had inadvertently seen his phone's screen saver before, which was exactly the same as that girl's.
All of his roommates were reasonably guessing that the girl was probably Jiang Jinnan's girlfriend.
Even if she's not his girlfriend, she's still his ideal woman.
The reason I guessed it was his girlfriend.
It's because ever since the start of the semester, he hasn't participated in any of their evening discussions about which girl in the class is pretty.
His self-discipline makes it hard not to think he has a girlfriend, but he's never been seen getting close to any girl.
Either he doesn't have a girlfriend, or his girlfriend isn't from the school!
Jiang Jinnan didn't react much to her roommate's words, only muttering, "Who said I like art? I just thought she liked art before."
Later, he discovered that her feelings for Sheng Yuhuai were purely platonic, and he realized that she had never actually liked someone who could draw.
It's a waste of his time.
Jiang Jinnan walked to the tent of the Foreign Language Association and stopped.
The senior student greeted Xu Yihuan with the same enthusiasm as before.
However, Jiang Jinnan didn't ask any questions, took the recruitment poster, and left.
He immediately scanned the QR code above and joined the recruitment group.
My roommate and senior were dumbfounded.
Is this... really so hasty...?
...
Evening self-study starts at 6 p.m.
Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan left the house at 5:40.
Lu Anlan was very curious.
"Huanhuan, which clubs do you think will be recruiting today?"
Xu Yihuan shook her head: "I don't know, but they should be almost all from the college. It seems that the recruitment presentations here give priority to each branch college."
Lu Anlan didn't say anything, but her face was full of anticipation.
When I got to the classroom, it was almost time for class to start.
Almost everyone in the class had arrived.
Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan found an empty seat and sat down.
I had barely sat down and caught my breath when a familiar figure walked in through the back door and sat down in the seat next to the back door.
