Chapter 52
The meal lasted a long time. Halfway through, someone knocked on the door, delivering a bowl of delicious chicken soup. Bai Fengyao had paid for it and asked the cafeteria staff to prepare it for Meng Wanqiu, to nourish her.
Meng Wanqiu didn't refuse the elders' kindness, but she divided the chicken soup into three portions, as she couldn't finish so much by herself. She noticed that Bai Fengyao's health wasn't very good either. He had suffered so much in his youth that his body had already developed some health problems.
The reunion was a joyous occasion, and the master and disciple even drank together. Bai Fengyao drank a little too much, but Pei Xingzhi was relatively restrained and just accompanied his master.
Meng Wanqiu stayed with them the whole time. Seeing that the dishes on the table were gone, she went out and asked the chef to add some snacks. Of course, she had to pay for it.
When the two left Qinghe Village, they exchanged all their food coupons for national food coupons.
Later, Bai Fengyao got drunk, so Pei Xingzhi carried his master back home. Fortunately, Bai Fengyao's home was in the residential building, where he lived alone in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment that was completely empty.
Pei Xingzhi carried Bai Fengyao to the bedroom, and Meng Wanqiu found a cup outside, filled it with water and placed it on the bedside table, so that if he got up at night to drink water, he could reach it.
After settling Bai Fengyao down, the couple left.
After returning to their new home and putting the dishes in the kitchen, Pei Xingzhi followed Meng Wanqiu all the time, holding the corner of her clothes like a child.
Meng Wanqiu was unable to move as he was holding her, so she pushed Pei Xingzhi to sit on a stool in the yard and prepared to fetch water to wash up. However, as soon as she turned around, Pei Xingzhi grabbed her clothes again, preventing her from leaving.
"Let me go, you're like a little kid. I'll go get a basin from the house to wash your face." Meng Wanqiu carried Pei Xingzhi on her back and reached behind her back to pull Pei Xingzhi's hand away.
But Pei Xingzhi still didn't let go. Meng Wanqiu turned around helplessly and saw her reflection in Pei Xingzhi's handsome face and his phoenix eyes, which were shining with stars.
Meng Wanqiu curled her lips, her eyes softened, she held Pei Xingzhi's cheeks, lowered her head and kissed his thin lips.
"I'll be right back, baby, let go."
The kiss was too fast, Pei Xingzhi was a little dissatisfied, but he still let go of Meng Wanqiu.
Meng Wanqiu smiled and kissed his forehead again, which made Pei Xingzhi's eyes narrow.
Meng Wanqiu came out of the house quickly. The weather was not cold now, so it was okay to wash with cold water. She put the water directly on the table and wet the towel and wrung it dry.
After shaking it out, Meng Wanqiu handed the handkerchief to Pei Xingzhi and asked him to wipe it himself. Meng Wanqiu had other things to do.
Unexpectedly, Pei Xingzhi not only refused to take it, but also leaned back, his eyes full of rejection, and said coquettishly, "Wanwan, help me."
He actually spoke in a baby voice. Meng Wanqiu widened her eyes. She didn't expect Pei Xingzhi to speak like this when he was drunk.
But Meng Wanqiu felt itchy and a little moved. What should she do?
"Okay, okay, let me help you. Come closer, really."
Meng Wanqiu's tone was smiling, as if she could do nothing to him, but her movements when she helped him wipe his face were so gentle.
After washing his face in a sticky manner, Pei Xingzhi wanted to get up to help Meng Wanqiu wash her face, but was coaxed by Meng Wanqiu to sit back down.
Really, I used to see him drinking cup after cup and thought he was a big drinker.
After a simple tidying up, Meng Wanqiu brought the drunk Pei Xingzhi back to the bedroom.
Meng Wanqiu closed the door at the back. Before she turned around, Pei Xingzhi hugged her from behind. His hot breath sprayed on Meng Wanqiu's neck, and the slightly intoxicating aroma of alcohol enveloped her, and her snow-white skin turned light pink.
"What's wrong?" Meng Wanqiu shrank her neck sensitively, stretched her hand back, touched Pei Xingzhi's cheek, and felt the slightly warm heat.
As the cool touch approached, Pei Xingzhi tilted his head and rubbed it on Meng Wanqiu's hand. The coolness dispelled the heat, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
"Nothing, it's just hot." The cold voice was nasal, with a touch of magnetism, and the chest trembled along with it.
His back was pressed against his chest, and a magnetic, low voice entered his eardrums. He suddenly felt an electric shock at the back of his neck, which spread to his limbs. Meng Wanqiu felt a numbness all over.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound at the neck, and a warm and soft feeling came, and Meng Wanqiu's legs went weak.
Pei Xingzhi was kissing her neck.
"Wanwan——"
Pei Xingzhi, with a low nasal voice, sucked Meng Wanqiu's skin again and again from her left shoulder to her right neck, murmuring her name.
Meng Wanqiu turned around and faced him, holding his hot cheeks in her hands. Her eyes were watery and her gaze was blurred.
Seeing Meng Wanqiu turn around, Pei Xingzhi put his arms around her waist, lowered his head, rubbed his nose against Meng Wanqiu's, and wanted to come up and kiss her.
Snap——
Meng Wanqiu placed her hands on Pei Xingzhi's face, making a crisp sound, blocking his next intention.
"Wanwan——"
Pei Xingzhi stared at Meng Wanqiu with his misty eyes, his tone full of confusion and aggrieved.
"Go to bed quickly." So many things happened this day, and this guy doesn't know how tired he is, but still wants to do this.
Meng Wanqiu pulled him to the bedside and pushed him back. Pei Xingzhi lay on the kang, looking at Meng Wanqiu with dissatisfaction.
It seems to be saying, I'm not sleepy, I can still do it.
Meng Wanqiu patted his leg and squatted down to take off his shoes. "You're still stubborn. Do you really think you're made of iron? You looked like you fell down after just one push. What else do you want to do..."
After Meng Wanqiu finished her rambling, she got up and looked, and couldn't help laughing. The person who had a look of dissatisfaction on his face just now had closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with a light snore.
After covering him with the quilt, Meng Wanqiu changed her clothes, climbed onto the bed, lay down on her side next to Pei Xingzhi, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
As if sensing a familiar breath, Pei Xingzhi drowsily held the person in his arms, resting his chin on the top of Meng Wanqiu's head, and fell into dream again while hugging each other.
The next day, the two got up early and went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, and also bought one for Bai Fengyao. When they arrived, Bai Fengyao was already awake and was drinking tea and reading. After seeing the couple, he invited them to have tea, and then each of them stuffed a stack of books and told them to go back and read.
Pei Xingzhi looked calm, but Meng Wanqiu was a little nervous because the cover of the book given to her had "University Advanced Mathematics" on it, and when she opened it, it was full of various symbols.
After leaving Bai Fengyao's house, Pei Xingzhi took Meng Wanqiu's books and said, "Read these books slowly. If you don't understand something, ask me."
Pei Xingzhi talked to himself and didn't hear Meng Wanqiu's reply. He looked at her puzzledly, and when he saw Meng Wanqiu's expression at this moment, he couldn't help laughing.
Meng Wanqiu pouted and looked at him blankly with her beautiful big eyes, looking as if the sky had fallen.
How could she be so cute? If he had his hands free, Pei Xingzhi would really want to hold her in his arms and knead her.
"You're still laughing!" Meng Wanqiu looked at Pei Xingzhi accusingly. Not only did this man not comfort her, but he also laughed at her in return.
Pei Xingzhi suppressed his smirk and cleared his throat. "It's okay. The content in the book may look complicated, but as long as you understand the principles, it's all right."
With Meng Wanqiu's ability, it is only a matter of time for her to master this knowledge. Pei Xingzhi has full confidence in her.
Meng Wanqiu listened to Pei Xingzhi's nonsense with a wooden face and an expressionless face. This was not what she wanted to hear.
Really, I had originally planned to live an easy life, but ever since I met Pei Xingzhi, Meng Wanqiu has been forced to learn all sorts of things. Although I understand that learning these things is for my own good, but one after another, Meng Wanqiu feels like this road seems to have no end.
She wouldn't be forced to learn things by Pei Xingzhi when she was eighty years old.
Thinking of this, Meng Wanqiu rolled her eyes at Pei Xingzhi, turned around and left.
Leaving Pei Xingzhi confused.
Thinking of the saying that pregnant women are moody, Pei Xingzhi silently attributed the matter to the pregnancy.
Now both of them have secured jobs, Pei Xingzhi in the technical department and Meng Wanqiu in the accounting department. Their files have been entered into the personnel department. The couple's combined salary is almost 60 yuan. As a dual-income family, this salary is already considerable.
When the personnel department was recording files, a small incident occurred. Li Xuezhi and Qu Miao, the couple who had had a conflict with them yesterday, were also going through the onboarding process.
Coincidentally, Li Xuezhi also joined the Technology Department and would be Pei Xingzhi's colleague in the future. Qu Miao joined the Publicity Department, which was considered much more prestigious than Meng Wanqiu's Finance and Accounting Department.
Obviously, Qu Miao thought so too.
After knowing that Meng Wanqiu was in the accounting department, Qu Miao was a little shocked. She thought Meng Wanqiu was from the countryside and must have been just a family member who came with her. She didn't expect that she actually entered the accounting department and had a job like her.
This made Qu Miao somewhat indignant, believing that a village girl like Meng Wanqiu was unworthy of being compared to a high school graduate like herself. If she hadn't been educated by Li Xuezhi, Qu Miao might have thrown a tantrum on the spot, but she listened to Li Xuezhi's advice. They were new to the place and should keep a low profile, so as not to offend their superiors and affect their future as a couple.
Qu Miao thought about it carefully and felt that what Li Xuezhi said made sense. But when he thought about the easy job he had in the Propaganda Department and the complicated and tiring job Meng Wanqiu had in the Accounting Department, he instantly felt superior to Meng Wanqiu.
However, when Li Xuezhi heard that Pei Xingzhi was also in the technical department, his eyes flashed and he asked casually, "Comrade Pei, which university did you graduate from? I'm from ×× Technical College. Maybe I know one of your classmates?"
Pei Xingzhi smiled faintly, "Comrade Li, it's impossible for you to know my classmates." Because he had never been to college at all.
"Really?" Li Xuezhi looked embarrassed for a moment, but felt a little angry in his heart. He thought that Pei Xingzhi graduated from a prestigious school, while his school was just average, so it was impossible for him to know his classmates and look down on him.
Li Xuezhi was from the countryside and had joined the local Red Arms, following a large group of teachers and scholars. Because his family had some influence in the area, he was recommended to attend a technical school. His major was barely related to mechanics, and if Li Xuezhi studied hard, he could barely do odd jobs in the technical department.
However, after Li Xuezhi entered the technical school, he couldn't keep up with the teacher's progress at all. Instead of reflecting on himself, he blamed the teacher. His former identity as a red armband made him have other thoughts, and he incited a group of students to attack the teacher.
The excellent teachers were affected and in order to protect themselves, they changed their teaching methods from strict to casual, and the content they taught became simpler and simpler.
This helped Li Xuezhi regain his confidence and confirmed once again that it was these teachers who had deliberately made things difficult for him, which was why he only got such low scores every time.
