After Pei Zhi let go of his hand, Pei Xi took the opportunity to hug the apple and quickly slipped downstairs.
Pei Zhi watched her retreating figure, clicked his tongue softly, and felt that something was amiss.
Pei Xiaoxi was holding the apple so tightly, as if she was afraid he would snatch it away.
It was an apple given to me by someone else.
He turned to look at Jiang Cheng beside him.
Then, with a slight frown, she looked him up and down.
Pei Zhi admitted that this guy did have the looks to charm girls; he was good-looking.
But he believed that Pei Xi was different from other girls; she couldn't possibly be so superficial.
Because she grew up watching his face.
I've been eating state banquets since I was a child.
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Cheng, his expression not exactly friendly. "You think you can bribe my sister with this little bit of kindness? You're dreaming."
Jiang Cheng said with some helplessness, "...I didn't intend to bribe him."
He paused for a moment, his dark eyes darkening, and then said, "I will give her even better things in the future."
Pei Zhi was taken aback for a moment by his sudden assurance and the seriousness on his face. Then he snorted, glanced at him, and said as he walked into the classroom, "Who cares?"
He had a mental lapse and didn't even think to refute "Who would have a future with you?"
Pei Zhi walked into the classroom, plopped down in his seat, and had only one thought in mind: when he got home after school, he would eat the apple that Jiang Cheng had given him!
I'll be the first to eat!
Haha, you can't have any men who just make empty promises!
Pei Zhi had a good plan. After school in the afternoon, Shi Chen invited him to his house to play games. He delivered Pei Xi and a bunch of apples home, dropped off his schoolbag, and left.
They didn't even eat.
Pei Xi ate the meal prepared by Li Ma alone, and then went upstairs.
She took the apple out of her bag, put it on the table, and then unwrapped it.
The apple inside was big and round, with scattered spots. Based on her experience eating apples, this apple looked delicious.
It's unclear whether Jiang Cheng specifically chose it or it was just pure luck.
Although she was a little reluctant to eat it, apples are meant to be eaten, and they won't be fresh if left for too long, so it's better to make the most of it as soon as possible.
So Pei Xi washed it, picked it up, and started munching on it.
Sure enough, one bite revealed crisp, juicy flesh—truly a top-tier apple.
Pei Xi leaned against the headboard, gnawing on her phone as she ate, and finished her meal in no time.
A notification suddenly popped up on his phone, and Pei Xi paused as he swiped the screen, something suddenly coming to mind.
She glanced at the sky outside, thought for only a second, and then switched the page to WeChat.
Then a message was sent.
Jiang Cheng was holed up in Zhu Yuan's internet cafe when he received the message.
He didn't sit in front of the computer, but on the sofa next to the front desk. Jiang Shuyu settled the bill for his recent orders, and he accepted the payment and thanked her.
Just as I was about to turn off the screen, a cat avatar popped up.
Jiang Cheng clicked in, and Zhu Yuan happened to walk over, carrying two bowls of instant noodles, with a fork held upright on the side of the bowl. "Brother Cheng, I've made your instant noodles..."
Jiang Cheng stood up abruptly, patted his shoulder, and said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Let's not eat for now. I know you can finish two portions by yourself."
"Hey, I don't eat that much..." Zhu Yuan hadn't finished speaking when the glass door of the shop made a clicking sound, still carrying the lingering echo of the shaking.
Jiang Cheng had already disappeared.
