When Qi Yan said the three words "one of us", Tang Qiqi felt that the whole world was mysterious.
The bar was extremely lively at this time of the morning, but no matter how much noise there was in her ears, it could not affect Tang Qiqi's complicated mood at the moment.
The three of them sat facing each other, and Tang Qiqi's face was still burning with anger when he thought about the misunderstanding just now.
Unexpectedly, the person who had always been curious was sitting opposite him, and the two of them even started fighting.
Noticing her discomfort, Qi Yan took the lead and introduced, "Pei Wenyu."
"Sorry, I didn't introduce myself earlier." The man opposite repeated, "Pei Wenyu, Qi Yan's buddy."
Tang Qiqi knew that this was just an excuse for the other party to ease her embarrassment, so she forced a smile and said, "Tang Qiqi."
It's not that she didn't introduce herself first, it's that she didn't even give the other person a chance to speak.
"I'm sorry about what happened just now." Tang Qiqi said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, but my sister-in-law's skills are really good." Pei Wenyu smiled and glanced at Qi Yan beside her. "It's a good thing that my sister-in-law has this skill, otherwise no one would be able to deal with you."
The latter paused while pouring the water, and raised his eyebrows as if in provocation.
"I deserve it for scaring my sister-in-law this time due to a misunderstanding. I'll drink a glass of wine as a punishment." After saying that, Pei Wenyu readily poured himself a glass and drank it without hesitation.
The man in front of him didn't look much older than him.
Although the sharpness in his eyes was equally as fierce as Qi Yan's, the murderous intent emanating from his body made Tang Qiqi smell danger.
Even though that murderous intent was emitted unconsciously and was not directed at himself.
"Stop pretending." Qi Yan, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted rudely.
"Sister-in-law, is he so arrogant when he is with you?" Pei Wenyu asked curiously with a smile.
The man smiled, and his hostility was less evident.
"Maybe it's divided among people?" Tang Qiqi asked instead of answering.
This made Pei Wenyu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "It's a good thing you can tolerate him like this. When you first met him, you almost beat him to death."
Tang Qiqi had been thinking about how to find an entry point to explore the details of their acquaintance, but she didn't expect Pei Wenyu to bring it up on his own initiative.
He immediately seized the opportunity and asked with feigned curiosity, "Is this our first meeting?"
"How old were you then? Thirteen or fourteen?" Pei Wenyu looked at Qi Yan as if reminiscing. "Can you imagine a teenager standing in front of you, silent and with 'Don't get close to me' written all over his body, that kind of provocative scene?"
Tang Qiqi could immediately imagine such a scene, but the key point he grasped was the age.
As she had guessed, the man in front of her was involved in Qi Yan's past that he could not bear to look back on.
What kind of mood was Qi Yan in when he stood in front of him? What happened?
These questions were stuck in my throat and I couldn't ask them. The hands hanging by my sides unconsciously clenched into fists.
Trying to maintain a smile on his face, he asked, "Did the fight break out?"
"At that time..." Pei Wenyu paused for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice dropped significantly, as if he remembered something helpless. "I could only fight."
"Why?" Tang Qiqi asked again.
She didn't even notice the nervousness in her tone when she spoke.
"A guy who is five years younger than me is standing in front of me and provoking me. If I don't beat him into submission, he will definitely cause chaos in the future, right?" Pei Wenyu smiled and clinked glasses with the two of them.
Tang Qiqi silently loosened the grip of the hand holding the wine glass. When his head was hidden by the wine glass, the smile in his eyes disappeared completely.
Although the tone was relaxed, he keenly noticed that Pei Wenyu seemed to be joking but was actually covering up the truth.
