Chapter 22
Two umbrellas could not cover three people. Zhou Ran was not familiar with Zhou Yuli and did not feel comfortable looking through his luggage. Even though he could not find the umbrella after searching, Zhou Ran ended up only taking his own umbrella and Pei Zhao's.
The result of three people and two umbrellas was that Zhou Yuli was soaked like a drowned chicken.
Although Pei Zhao suggested turning him into a puppet and hiding him in his clothes, Zhou Yuli refused. Zhou Yuli said seriously: "In the future, I will not turn into a puppet unless it is necessary."
Pei Zhao blankly responded with a "OK", thinking that he usually only turned into a puppet when he had no other choice...
After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Ran asked the dormitory manager for some ginger tea. He felt that he was the one who went to pick someone up, but Zhou Yuli was mostly wet. He would feel so guilty if he caught a cold.
Although Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao had told him "it's okay" no less than ten times, Zhou Ran still waved his hand and forced Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao to drink a cup of ginger tea each.
The ginger tea prepared by the dormitory manager was not very tasty. There were a few slices of unpeeled ginger floating on the brown tea base, which looked very ordinary.
After drinking it, I found that the taste was more ordinary.
But Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao didn't dare to say it out loud. They put their cups on the table and gave a thumbs up: "It tastes good!"
Zhou Ran nodded with satisfaction and went downstairs to deliver the cups.
After Zhou Ran left, Zhou Yuli lost his temper and poured a glass of water for Pei Zhao: "Your friend is so nice."
Pei Zhao took the water and rinsed his mouth. The spiciness in his mouth finally dissipated a little. He smiled and said, "He has always been so kind-hearted." Then, Pei Zhao handed the cup of water to Zhou Yuli and said, "You should rinse your mouth too. Auntie's ginger tea is really too spicy."
Zhou Yuli looked at the cup of water handed to him and suddenly became speechless.
There was still a small water stain where Pei Zhao had just drunk water. He stared at the water stain for a long time until Pei Zhao urged him, "Rinse your mouth."
Zhou Yuli took the cup of water and, as if possessed by a magic spell, turned his wrist slightly. Lips and teeth lightly covered with water stains.
Sweet.
After handing over the cup of water, Pei Zhao went to do other things. He was busy sorting out Zhou Yuli and his own class schedule, hoping to reach a consensus with Xiao Rui so that they could take risks when they were together. In addition, he and the mysterious man agreed to meet this Sunday, and he also needed to do some homework in advance.
Open Taobao and place an order for anti-wolf spray, pepper spray, explosion-proof bell, and wallpaper knife.
After a while, Zhou Yuli put the teacup back on his desk, and Pei Zhao asked casually, "Have you finished rinsing your mouth?"
"Yes." Zhou Yuli agreed without blushing and changed the subject, "What are you buying?"
"Buy some self-defense gear," Pei Zhao said angrily, "Who knows what kind of monster that guy is? From the sound of his voice, it sounds like there's a toad stuck in his throat. I can tell he's not a good person."
Zhou Yuli, who was used to speaking in a low voice, said: "..."
Zhou Yuli coughed, trying to make his voice sound clearer: "Well, tell me the place you agreed to meet at again, and I'll see how we can get there."
Pei Zhao gave a place name, and Zhou Yuli checked it on his mobile phone. It was a coffee and book bar in a busy area of the city not far from the school. There were many people there, and there were private rooms, so safety and privacy were guaranteed.
Zhou Yuli opened the map to search. At this time, the dormitory door rang. Zhou Ran came back after delivering the cups. Seeing the two of them standing and checking something, he came over to take a look.
"Are you going to the city to play?" Zhou Ran asked after glancing at the route on Zhou Yuli's phone.
Pei Zhao was still searching frantically on his phone for inspiration to place an order, without even looking up: "Well, I have something to do over there, so I might play for a while after I'm done. Do you want to join us?"
Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow: "What time?"
Zhou Yuli said: "This Zhou Tian."
Zhou Ran curled his lips: "No, I have to go to the club meeting on Sunday. It's really troublesome."
Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao have been in school for such a long time, but they have never joined any clubs. Pei Zhao asked curiously, "What club are you in?"
Zhou Ran patted his chest and said, "Look at my figure, of course it's——"
"Sumo club?"
"Basketball Club!"
Pei Zhao and Zhou Ran said this in unison, and both of them were stunned for a moment. Pei Zhao hesitated for half a second before abandoning his chair and running away. Zhou Ran chased after him without hesitation.
"God Pei, you don't care about your face anymore after falling from the altar, right?"
Zhou Yuli stood where he was, looking at Pei Zhao's figure running away in the dormitory with gentle eyes, then he retracted his gaze and opened WeChat to search for Huada Club.
There is no unified club in Huada University, and each club has its own operating account. When Zhou Yuli searched, three or four results popped up, with the first one being Huada Mystery Agency. Zhou Yuli clicked on it and saw that the first tweet was posted recently with the title: The Hundred Regiments Offensive is coming and you definitely can’t miss it!
Hundred Regiments Campaign? That sounds interesting.
Zhou Yuli clicked on the tweet.
The content of the tweet was very simple. It briefly introduced the activities of the Reasoning Club and the time of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, and finally sincerely invited friends to sign up.
Zhou Yuli stayed until the end and wrote down the date of the Hundred Regiments Campaign, which was next Wednesday.
Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Zhao ran behind him at some point, grabbed his clothes and confronted Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran: "Come here!"
Pei Zhao: "I just said it casually! My attention is not on you!"
Zhou Ran: "What you say casually is true, what you say without thinking is the truth!"
Pei Zhao: "Your logic is totally perverted!"
Zhou Yuli couldn't help laughing when listening to this unreasonable argument. He felt like the mother eagle in the game of Eagle Catches Chicken when he was a child, but he had lost his childishness. He could only protect Pei Zhao and change the subject to Zhou Ran: "Okay, okay, I just checked, the Hundred Regiments Campaign is next Wednesday, Pei Zhao, should we go check on the club?"
"Okay." Although there are still a lot of things to be solved, it is definitely a lie to say that freshmen have no interest in clubs. Pei Zhao immediately thought: "After Zhou Tian finishes his work, he can go to the mall and buy you some clothes?"
What Zhou Yuli is wearing now are still the ones he bought for him back then. Although the quality is not bad, he bought them based on Zhou Yuli's height at the time. He really didn't expect that this man could be... so tall.
It’s okay for some inner wear, but if the outer coat is too small it’s a bit tight. It looks like a telephone pole when worn on the body.
Zhou Yuli was in a dilemma. He was a puppet and had no money. It would not be nice to let Pei Zhao spend money. Although it is normal for him to be bought clothes by his master as a puppet, in his personal consciousness, he is a normal person. It is unacceptable no matter how he thinks about it that he is supported by others.
But after Pei Zhao said this, Zhou Yuli didn't want to refuse. As far as I can remember, this kind of arrangement was only made casually between my parents when I was young, as if only family members could express their love so casually. When Pei Zhao said this, did he treat him as his defenseless family member? Whether it was true or not, Zhou Yuli didn't want to point it out. He benefited from what he thought was a misunderstanding.
"Yeah, okay." As for the money, he would find a way to earn it back for Pei Zhao. It is only natural for the master to buy clothes for the puppet and the puppet to work for the master.
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday.
All the things Pei Zhao bought online were sent to SF Express, and they were all delivered before Saturday. On Saturday night, Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli went to pick up the express together.
Early in the morning on Sunday, Zhou Ran went out to participate in club activities, and Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli packed their backpacks together.
"Anti-wolf spray, detonator, these are all to carry with you. Put the rest in the bag." Although they said they were going to sort them together, Pei Zhao was sitting on a chair eating steamed dumplings while Zhou Yuli was standing in front of the table sorting his bag.
After putting everything away according to Pei Zhao's instructions, Zhou Yuli glanced at his phone and said, "It's almost time, we can get ready to go." After saying that, he watched Pei Zhao swallow the last bite of the steamed bun and poured a glass of water to him, "Are you full? If not, buy some more when you pass by the cafeteria later."
Pei Zhao took a sip of water and shook his head: "I'm full. You brought too much. You can bring less next time." Pei Zhao lightly touched his index finger and thumb together and gestured.
Zhou Yuli smiled, casually put the bag behind him, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll help you with the ones you can't finish."
Huazhong University of Science and Technology has branches in both the urban area and the suburbs. Pei Zhao and his classmates are currently in the suburbs. In order to facilitate commuting between the two schools, the school has specially opened a school bus with several fixed trips on weekends that can go directly to the urban area.
The cafe they booked was near the campus in the city and could be reached by the school bus.
Pei Zhao bought two tickets on the mini program yesterday and got on the bus with Zhou Yuli. They sat in the double seat in the second to last row, with Pei Zhao sitting by the window and Zhou Yuli sitting on the outside. After waiting for a while, the car started.
Pei Zhao was in high spirits at first, and was arranging a plan with Zhou Yuli to meet the mysterious man. However, he felt sleepy not long after they started driving. He tossed and turned in reading the travel guide last night and fell asleep in the second half of the night. He was sleeping soundly now.
Zhou Yuli looked at the person leaning on his shoulder, with a bit of childishness and tenderness between his brows. Pei Zhao, when he speaks, sometimes looks cold and full of aura, sometimes looks indifferent, and sometimes looks noisy. However, Zhou Yuli feels that the basic color of his personality is gentle, so when facing different people, he will prejudge other people's feelings and do some things that he thinks are appropriate.
Appropriate move.
Zhou Yuli thought Pei Zhao was gentle more than once.
From pulling him down from the rooftop, bringing him back from another world, to holding him in bed...
Zhou Yuli thought, fortunately Pei Zhao was the gentlest person he had ever met since he came to this world. Tell him to never envy other people's love again, and let him firmly believe that the love he receives is the best.
·
The school bus arrived in the city quickly.
Pei Zhao stretched himself and said, "I slept well..."
Zhou Yuli handed him a bottle of drink, which he had bought at the supermarket next to the cafeteria in the morning. "Would you like a drink to sober you up?"
Pei Zhao was a little stunned, "You also bought this?"
Zhou Yuli unscrewed it for him: "I was worried that you might be thirsty on the way, but you slept very soundly."
Pei Zhao took the bottle blankly and took a sip, "You... are so careful."
Zhou Yuli screwed the lid on and said gently, "No, it's just a coincidence."
Pei Zhao thought to himself, this is really convenient... This is the first time in his life that someone has taken care of him like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. Pei Zhao picked it up and saw that it was Zhou Ran. "Hello? What's wrong?"
Zhou Ran's voice on the other end sounded a little strange, "Did you two go to the city?"
