Jiang Cheng held his phone, not replying for a moment.
He was sitting right in front of her and heard her and Pei Zhi's conversation perfectly.
She was just trying to appease Pei Zhi.
That's why I said grapes don't taste good.
Then I gave it to him.
Jiang Cheng felt as if a warm hand had suddenly gripped his heart.
His finger hovered over the screen, a jolt of electricity coursing through his heart, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly.
Two seconds later, Pei Xi sent another message.
"I arrived too late; there was only one grape-flavored bottle left in the refrigerator."
Pei Zhi had actually drunk it before, but he had forgotten about it.
Below is a meme of someone covering their mouth and chuckling.
Jiang Cheng could even imagine her upturned lips and slightly sly eyes through this emoji.
He tried hard to control himself from looking back.
Pei Zhi's voice suddenly rang out from behind: "Hey, who are you chatting with?"
Pei Xi quickly switched his phone screen and shook his head, "I wasn't with anyone."
Pei Zhi said "Oh," as if it were just a casual question. He held up his phone and said to Pei Xi and Shi Chen, "Tong Kai told Qin Yufan that they bought some food. I'll go check and bring some over for you."
Shi Chen replied, "Okay, bring more of what Pei Xi likes to eat."
Pei Zhi looked disgusted. "I guess they can only afford some potato chips and stuff. It's unlikely they'll buy anything Pei Xi likes. I'll just have to see what they have."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Tong Kai and Qin Yufan.
Pei Xi watched Pei Zhi walk away, then looked at her phone and a message suddenly popped up.
"What would you like to eat?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Pei Xi thought for a moment, then typed a reply: "Cheese cookies, sandwich rolls, and taro sticks..."
"They were all sold out when I went there."
Then, a teary-eyed emoji was added.
Jiang Cheng looked down at the message Pei Xi sent, his hand gripping the phone suddenly tightened, and he inexplicably associated the emoji with Pei Xi himself.
Those amber eyes looked at him with teary eyes and a wronged expression. Just thinking about it made his heart melt uncontrollably.
His fingers flew across the keyboard as he sent a message to Pei Xi.
Pei Xi had just received the message when he saw Jiang Cheng get up and stride out the door out of the corner of his eye.
She looked down at her phone screen.
He said, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
Pei Xi was startled.
Is he going to buy the things she just mentioned?
But they're all sold out in the supermarket, where is he going to buy them?
Pei Xi, holding onto the back of the chair, turned to look at the back door, but Jiang Cheng had already disappeared.
She sat in her seat and waited for a while, feeling rather bored.
I wonder how long Jiang Cheng will be gone.
The gala will begin in about ten minutes.
Five minutes later, Pei Xi's phone buzzed and a message popped up.
Pei Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't wait to open it.
Come out for a moment.
It belongs to Jiang Chengfa.
He's back.
Pei Xi pursed her lips, suppressing a slight upturn of her lips, then nudged Shi Chen's arm. "Brother Shi Chen, I'm going out for a bit. My brother will come back and tell him for me."
Shi Chen smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay."
Then he watched Pei Xi, clutching his phone, sneakily walk towards the auditorium entrance until his figure disappeared.
As soon as I looked away, someone suddenly sat down in the seat next to me.
Shi Chen was almost startled when he saw Pei Zhi holding several bags of brightly colored potato chips, panting and muttering, "This is sweet and spicy, and there's tomato too. These are all my sister's favorites. I had to use all my strength to snatch them from Qin Yufan's mouth. It was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth... no, it was like stealing food from a dog's mouth..."
As he spoke, he looked around and noticed that Pei Xi's seat was empty. He frowned and asked Shi Chen, "Where is Pei Xi?"
Shi Chen scratched his eyebrows. "She said she's going out for a bit."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Maybe he went to the toilet."
Pei Zhi clicked his tongue upon hearing this, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and said, "I just heard from the people backstage that there was a problem with the props for the opening show, so they have to move Miaomiao's show up earlier than planned."
He frowned. "I need to go to the restroom too. I'll see if I can run into her and tell her to hurry up."
"Hey..." Before Shi Chen could even speak, Pei Zhi had already put down the potato chips and jogged away.
