Before we knew it, it was November, the beginning of winter.
It is said that if a southerly wind blows at the beginning of winter, the following winter will likely be a mild one.
Therefore, Pei Xi guessed that the upcoming winter this year would probably not be very cold.
In northern China, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the day of Lidong (the beginning of winter). On this day, the food serving window of Peking University will give away two dumplings to each person for free, on a first-come, first-served basis.
After class at noon, the three of them were able to get together, which was a rare treat. Pei Xi suggested eating in the cafeteria to soak up the festive atmosphere.
The cafeteria was packed with people, and everyone's eyes revealed a longing for food.
Pei Xi queued up to get his food, then sat down at the table with his plate. He picked up a dumpling and took a bite, only to find that it was filled with celery.
She didn't really like the food, but she finished it with difficulty. She pointed to another dumpling with her chopsticks and said to Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng, "Who wants to eat this? Don't waste it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng simultaneously reached out with their chopsticks, each grabbing one end of the dumpling.
Pei Xi: "..."
Do we really need to be this in sync?
After a pause of a second, Pei Zhi put down his chopsticks and said mercifully, "Well, never mind, you can have it."
Pei Xi: "".
It's just a dumpling, what exactly is it trying to achieve?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng said earnestly, "Thank you."
Pei Xi: "..."
She frowned as she looked at Jiang Cheng. Lately, she had increasingly felt that Jiang Cheng was being assimilated by Pei Zhi.
He smiles much more now, loves to joke, and sometimes even throws out a dry joke.
Even though he probably didn't feel it was cold.
Just like the smiling emoji he sent when they first added each other on WeChat.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Cheng noticed Pei Xi's gaze, swallowed a dumpling, and asked.
Pei Xi's gaze swept over the two people opposite him for a moment, then he shook his head slightly, blinked, and said, "It's nothing, I just think you look so handsome even when you're eating dumplings."
Jiang Cheng silently curled the corners of his lips.
Pei Zhi, who was engrossed in eating, stood to the side: "..."
He really couldn't take it anymore.
Is he some kind of despicable person?!
“My brother has grown up too.” Pei Xi, of course, did not show favoritism, and looked at Pei Zhi’s head as he buried himself in his rice, and said, “He has learned to be modest.”
Jiang Cheng nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, worthy of praise."
Pei Zhi: "..."
Judging from their tone, anyone who didn't know better would think he was their child!
Pei Zhishen let out a sigh of relief. As a noble and single man, he couldn't be bothered to argue with a couple in love.
He stuffed a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, looked up from his plate, saw the television hanging not far away, his gaze suddenly paused, and he said to Pei Xi, "Look, isn't that your Miaomiao?"
Pei Xi was startled and turned to look. The person on the TV screen was indeed Shen Miaoyi.
The music variety show that was playing inside was one she and Sun Yufei participated in.
It's an original music variety show where each contestant has to sing an original song that they've never released before.
Shen Miaoyi is currently undergoing a follow-up interview. She seems much less timid than before and appears more confident.
Her face is still round, just as cute as before.
According to Shen Miaoyi and Sun Yufei, their management company's plan for them is relatively simple: to focus on being singers, participate in music variety shows and music festivals, and let their work speak for itself.
I won't get involved in any other messy things.
Pei Xi wholeheartedly agreed.
Moreover, based on her understanding of the two of them, that kind of messy hype wouldn't suit them.
If you gave them both a script and asked them to act in front of the camera, Shen Miaoyi would probably blush before she even said her lines, while Sun Yufei... would probably blurt out the truth after just a couple of sentences.
Neither of them is cut out for it.
Thanks to the two of them, Hongdou Yuyuan was invited to record a New Year's Eve gala, so in December, the two of them sent Pei Xi two tickets.
Upon hearing this, before Pei Xi could even grapple with it, Pei Zhi proactively said that he couldn't go.
He said he was so busy during finals week, studying so hard he was going bald, that he didn't have time to go out and have fun at all.
He spoke with great emotion, as if Pei Xi would be harming him if he insisted on going.
Pei Xi sighed deeply; his brother had truly grown up.
Humility has become ingrained in their very being.
So she didn't stand on ceremony and came to the TV station with Jiang Cheng that night, treating it as a date.
After taking her seat, by sheer coincidence, she happened to sit right next to the red bean and taro ball fans.
She was a girl who looked about the same age as her, with pigtails, round black-rimmed glasses, and a very youthful and cute appearance.
She was holding up two support signs for two people, their LED lights flashing.
When Shen Miaoyi and Sun Yufei came on stage, Pei Xi shouted loudly along with the fans. After the two finished singing and came off the stage, the girl next to her secretly glanced at her several times, then leaned over and asked her, "Are you also a fan of Red Bean Taro Ball?"
Pei Xi smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The girl opened her eyes, glanced at Pei Xi's face a few more times, and then politely looked away.
She was surprised to find herself sharing such a beautiful fellow fan.
That's incredibly prestigious.
The girl then asked, "When did you start liking them?"
Pei Xi thought for a moment, then smiled and half-jokingly said, "A long time ago."
Upon hearing this, the girl straightened up with a touch of pride. "I've liked them for almost half a year now, so I'm one of the earliest fans. I've liked them since they were competing."
A sly glint flashed in Pei Xi's eyes. "Then I was even earlier than you."
The girl was a little surprised. Her eyes widened. "You didn't start supporting them during the auditions, did you? You have such good taste!"
Pei Xi smiled upon hearing this.
She thought, even earlier.
Because she was the first listener of all of Shen Miaoyi's songs.
But she didn't say it.
She looked only into the girl's eyes, nodded, and said, "Yes, I also think I have good taste."
