Chapter 221: Pei Yuli, the Tadpole
The red amulet was covered in mud and looked dirty.
Xu Yihuan and Pei Yuli stood facing each other, their gazes simultaneously fixed on that spot.
Xu Yihuan's eyes trembled slightly.
Take a deep breath, turn around and leave.
Pei Yuli stood there, quietly looking at the amulet, his heart aching with unbearable sorrow.
After a while, he walked over, bent down, and gently wiped the dirt off with his clean sleeve.
Because of the material, some areas couldn't be cleaned properly, but Pei Yuli didn't insist on it too much.
He sighed and put the amulet into his pocket.
Xu Yihuan returned to her dormitory and saw that Lu Anlan was already there.
Their classes in their second year were almost the same as in their first year, still quite full, but Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan always managed to find enjoyment in their busy lives.
Sure enough, Lu Anlan saw something interesting again and immediately came over to find Xu Yihuan.
"Huanhuan, I saw a new dog cafe opened near our school. Want to go check it out?"
Lu Anlan has loved furry little pets since she was a child, but unfortunately, her father is allergic to animal fur and would sneeze whenever he saw stray cats in the neighborhood, so she simply couldn't keep one.
Upon seeing a dog cafe where people could freely pet dogs, I immediately became excited.
Xu Yihuan took Lu Anlan's phone and glanced at it; it was a check-in photo of someone else who had already been there.
The Samoyed, occupying the center position in the photo, is smiling sweetly at the camera.
Xu Yihuan fell in love with it at first sight.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow. I don't have class tomorrow afternoon."
The main reason is that she doesn't need to go to the construction site.
During this period, she and Jiang Jinnan did not keep an eye on things as frequently as before. Jiang Jinnan found an opportunity to bring over Jiang Huaiyuan's capable subordinate to keep watch for him.
They can now go whenever they want, and not go whenever they don't want, which makes things much easier for them.
Lu Anlan happily agreed.
Autumn has brought cooler weather to Beijing. Outside, the ginkgo leaves have turned yellow, rustling in the wind and falling to the ground.
Xu Yihuan wore a nude-colored trench coat over a square-neck, tight-fitting black top and wide-leg jeans. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look young and beautiful.
Xu Yihuan stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, feeling a hollowness in her neck. She reached into the drawer and touched it.
She remembered that she used to have a very suitable necklace.
After searching for a long time, Xu Yihuan finally found the necklace in a corner. It was in the shape of the Big Dipper, with an extra pendant.
There are eight diamonds in total, and each one is extremely dazzling.
Lu Anlan packed her things, holding a Polaroid camera in her left hand and a DJI Poket phone in her right.
"Let's go, Huanhuan! Let's hurry! We'll find a great spot and take some amazing photos!"
Xu Yihuan stood up, grabbed her phone from the table, and turned around.
"Walk."
Lu Anlan looked Xu Yihuan up and down, and finally her gaze settled on the necklace around Xu Yihuan's neck.
"Huanhuan, this necklace of yours..."
Xu Yihuan's expression involuntarily stiffened.
This necklace was a gift from Tan Zhixu to her.
Wearing something my ex-boyfriend gave me seems a bit inappropriate, but I haven't found any other necklaces.
Does Lu Anlan also feel that this is not a good idea?
Xu Yihuan's hand unconsciously touched the necklace on her chest.
"It doesn't look good? Then I'll go..."
Xu Yihuan was interrupted by Lu Anlan before she could finish speaking.
"It's so beautiful! Where did you buy it? I've never seen it before!"
Lu Anlan looked at Xu Yihuan with bright, expectant eyes, her round, kitten-like eyes filled with anticipation.
Xu Yihuan's expression softened.
"I forgot too, it seems to be a niche brand, you can use image search to find similar items."
This is a gift that Tan Zhixu brought back for her when he went to compete in a tournament.
Upon hearing this, Lu Anlan was immediately dissuaded and waved her hand.
"Forget it, it's too much trouble, I'd rather not."
Then he took two steps forward and took Xu Yihuan's hand.
"Hurry up, Huanhuan, first come, first served, catch the dog."
Xu Yihuan chuckled and followed Lu Anlan.
Meanwhile, the miserable young master Pei was sitting at home, worrying.
Pei Yuli sat on the sofa, looking at the academic talisman in his hand with a worried expression.
Long, slender fingers caressed it.
Looking at this filthy thing, he felt really bad.
So he was this foolish back then too...
Pei Yuli thought back to the stupid things he had done and wished he could slap himself a few times.
Just then, Pei Yi'an came down from upstairs.
His gaze fell on Pei Yuli.
What are you doing here?
Pei Yuli, as if he had given up all hope, crossed his legs and leaned lazily against the sofa.
"What? Are you going to kick me out too?"
Pei Yi'an rolled her eyes: "What do I care where you are? I'm going out on a date with your dad."
"If you have nothing to do, you should find yourself a wife. If things continue like this, I might not even be able to hold my grandson before I can hold my granddaughter."
Pei Yuli sneered: "Don't even mention that Xu Yihuan doesn't have a boyfriend now. This brat is still in school. If she has a baby this early, I'll break her legs!"
Pei Yi'an made two "oh" sounds and looked Pei Yuli up and down.
"How dare you say that? Huanhuan is an only child, okay?"
These words struck a nerve with Pei Yuli, who immediately collapsed onto the sofa without saying a word, leaning back against it.
Pei Yi'an couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, Huanhuan has a new dog cafe near the school. If you go there now, you might still be able to get a hot bowl of shit."
Pei Yuli has been resurrected.
On the other hand...
He's not that petty.
He casually put the red amulet back in his pocket. He was such a scoundrel back then, it was only right that he did it for Huanhuan's birthday.
He should apologize more often; things will get better eventually.
Pei Yuli said nothing and turned to leave.
He had to bring more sincerity this time. He remembered that Huanhuan liked Heji's desserts the most, so he went to buy them right now!
Pei Yuli was thinking of bringing something, but he didn't bring his brain.
By the time Pei Yuli arrived with Heji's desserts, it was almost dark.
Looking into the dog cafe, it was deserted; everyone had left and the tea was cold.
Aside from a few scattered people still taking photos, there was only a group of dogs that were exhausted from working and sticking out their tongues.
Pei Yuli sat dejectedly on the steps by the door, holding a dessert in his hand, looking even more pitiful than the dog inside.
Or maybe he was just too slow...
Does he have no chance to reconcile with Huanhuan?
Pei Yuli was completely enveloped in emo.
Just then, a child ran towards Pei Yuli.
The child is very cute, wearing a little autumn dress and with two little braids in her hair; she could be a child model.
Pei Yuli immediately remembered that his younger sister was just as beautiful as a porcelain doll when she was little, with soft, supple skin and a smile that greeted everyone she met.
All the relatives in the family love my little sister. They take turns holding her during every holiday.
The child stumbled and ran towards Pei Yuli, who instinctively reached out to catch him.
The next second, a voice rang out from behind him.
