Chapter 136: Who's Seducing Her?
Although Tan Zhixu really wanted to sit down immediately, he still looked at Xu Yihuan.
Asking with your eyes, "Should I eat yet?"
Xu Yihuan blinked, signaling him to leave quickly.
But Tan Zhixu seemed to have just realized something.
I found a seat and sat down.
"Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, then this will be troublesome."
Xu Yihuan glared at him. He had already sat down, so why was he asking her why?
Xu Rongyu's gaze lingered on Xu Yihuan and Tan Zhixu.
This child is very outgoing and beautiful; she's really great.
He wanted to see what the real situation was between him and his daughter.
It's all Xu Yihuan's fault. She never tells him anything, so he can't get any gossip.
Thinking it over, Xu Rongyu immediately asked the waiter to add another set of bowls and chopsticks.
They quickly struck up a conversation with Tan Zhixu.
Xu Yihuan, standing to the side, found her meal tasteless.
I would check on them from time to time.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from my trouser leg.
Xu Yihuan froze.
Who's flirting with her?!
Xu Yihuan lowered her head slightly and glanced down.
Tan Zhixu's white trouser legs became tangled with his dark blue trouser legs as he moved.
Xu Yihuan's breath hitched.
Holy crap! How dare Tan Zhixu be so audacious?!
In a moment of tension, Xu Yihuan dropped the chopsticks she was using to eat rice onto the ground.
Xu Yihuan bent down to pick it up, but at that moment Tan Zhixu's legs became still again.
Unable to contain her anger, Xu Yihuan untied the shoelaces from both of Tan Zhixu's shoes and then tied them together in a crisscross pattern.
Hmph, just wait until he stumbles and falls, then he'll know his legs need to stay still and not move around too much.
Xu Yihuan, feeling smug, tried to straighten up.
Who knew, without noticing, his forehead hit the table leg.
Xu Yihuan immediately looked distressed.
But it wasn't until I got up that I realized, hey? It doesn't hurt?!
Xu Yihuan's eyes lit up, and then she saw Tan Zhixu's hand retracting.
It turned out that when he bent down to pick something up, he was protecting the table leg with his hand, afraid of getting hurt.
Xu Yihuan felt a pang of conscience for a moment.
I don't think I should have done that; maybe I should have untied him.
Xu Yihuan was about to bend down to untie him.
Suddenly, before her face could even sink down, it was lifted up again by a warm, large hand.
"What are you doing, Huanhuan? It'll get cold if you don't eat soon."
Turning around, I saw Tan Zhixu's smiling face.
For some reason, Xu Yihuan got angry again.
I was clearly trying to help him, so what if he doesn't appreciate it? Let him embarrass himself!
I didn't even notice how he addressed me.
Xu Rongyu's gaze swept over the two of them, carrying an ambiguous tone.
Halfway through the meal, Tan Zhixu very considerately went to the restroom.
Xu Rongyu's gaze followed Tan Zhixu.
Then he leaned closer to Xu Yihuan.
He whispered, "Girl, I think this young man is quite suitable. You should marry him."
Although she spoke even softer than usual, Zhou Yanzhe next to her could still hear her clearly.
His face stiffened involuntarily.
He had originally planned to pay the bill after the meal, since he couldn't let his elders pay, but he didn't expect Tan Zhixu to beat him to it.
Xu Yihuan pushed Xu Rongyu away: "Come on, do you think she'd marry me? What makes me think I have the nerve?"
Xu Rong hummed twice, seemingly satisfied with Xu Yihuan's attitude.
He didn't say anything, but he could tell anyway.
This guy is definitely eyeing his girl.
The young man is a good person and not stingy, but he's not quite up to the task of marrying his daughter.
After he finished speaking, Tan Zhixu returned.
Xu Rongyu resumed her smiling demeanor.
Soon, everyone finished their meal and prepared to leave.
Just then, a voice called out to Xu Yihuan.
All four of them turned their heads at the same time.
Upon seeing who it was, Xu Rongyu's smiling face froze instantly.
She subconsciously looked at Xu Yihuan, her face full of helplessness.
He never imagined that his reunion with Pei Yi'an would be in such a setting.
Xu Yihuan didn't receive Xu Rongyu's gaze, and she was equally flustered.
She never expected that she would run into her mother before she could even prepare her father mentally.
Pei Yanzhi, leading Pei Yi'an and Pei Yutang, was walking towards them from the opposite direction.
Today, Pei Yanzhi was hosting a dinner for Pei Yuli and Pei Yutang, supposedly to foster their relationship. However, Pei Yanzhi happened to be in the lab, and since Pei Yi'an had some free time, Pei Yi'an took over the meal.
At least that's what they say on the surface.
"Brother Pei, what are you doing here?"
Pei Yanzhi smiled gently: "I just happened to be having dinner here, and I didn't expect to run into you like this."
As the four walked together, Pei Yi'an's gaze fell on Xu Rongyu.
He seemed to possess a strange allure that made her inexplicably want to see him more clearly.
Pei Yi'an opened her mouth, just about to speak.
Seeing that Pei Yi'an was about to speak, Xu Rongyu remembered that Pei Yi'an had the same infuriating personality as Xu Yihuan, so she quickly interrupted her.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Pei Yi'an's pupils dilated in shock: "I...I know you?!"
No wonder it looked so familiar, we knew each other?
After those two sentences were spoken, everyone stopped chatting and focused their attention on the two people.
Xu Yihuan's breath hitched; she was doomed.
Fortunately, Xu Rongyu was a bit dim-witted and didn't think too much about it, only assuming that Pei Yi'an wanted to distance herself from him.
So he denied it in a dejected tone: "No... I don't know him."
Pei Yi'an looked at him suspiciously, feeling that he wasn't telling the truth.
But he was not in my memory.
In her memory, besides her current relatives, there was only a deceased husband, and even that husband didn't look like this...
Pei Yi'an frowned subconsciously.
Seeing her father's sad expression, Xu Yihuan quickly changed the subject.
"Teacher Pei, it's been a long time."
Pei Yi'an's gaze returned to Xu Yihuan, her face once again filled with admiration.
"Huanhuan, why have you never contacted me? Come to think of it, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Let's add each other now."
"If you have any questions about your studies later, you can ask me."
Pei Yi'an's voice was very gentle, a stark contrast to her usual stern demeanor in the translation field.
Actually, she doesn't like being disturbed, but when it comes to Xu Yihuan, she doesn't know why, she just likes chatting with her.
Xu Yihuan was flattered and quickly agreed.
Perfect timing! If she has the chance later, she can ask Pei Yi'an to help her review her speech.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. We need to go eat."
See you next time, Huanhuan.
Seeing that the time was right, Pei Yanzhi took his leave without hesitation.
He originally wanted Pei Yi'an and Xu Rongyu to meet, and now they've met enough.
Otherwise, if it gets back to the old man's ears, it will be troublesome again.
Xu Yihuan nodded.
Xu Rongyu watched Pei Yi'an's retreating figure, still looking lost and dejected.
Xu Yihuan burst out laughing.
"Old Xu, everyone's already gone, why are you still standing here watching?"
"If you're thinking about someone, just say so."
Xu Rongyu retorted angrily, "What are you saying! I haven't been thinking about her at all! She's pretending not to know me, so why should I coax her?! Why should I?"
Xu Yihuan suppressed her smile, coughed twice, glanced at the two people beside her, and leaned closer to Xu Rongyu, saying, "She wasn't faking it. I'll tell you the details when we get back."
Xu Rongyu's eyes widened instantly, and all sorts of murder cases flashed through her mind. But when she saw Xu Yihuan's eyes, she swallowed them back.
He simply nodded in agreement.
On the other side...
Pei Yi'an, who left with Pei Yanzhi, was also deep in thought.
It was obvious that she knew this man.
Why do I have absolutely no recollection of it?
Could it be that, as Pei Yuli said, I have lost my memory?
Pei Yi'an pursed her lips. Her heart was pounding, and she felt uneasy, as if she had forgotten something important.
Once Pei Yuli comes out of the lab, she might really need to try out his machine; there's no harm in it, is there?
Pei Yutang, who had remained silent until now, glanced at Pei Yanzhi and then at Pei Yi'an, her eyes flickering.
Suddenly, she said, "Auntie, our school is having an event for New Year's Day, and there's a spot for an outstanding student representative from our college to speak. Could you talk to the college and see if I can get a chance?"
