Chapter 146 Ramblings (Part 4)
Lu Xiwen said he would keep his word.
That night, the gently rising and falling waves folded Pei Wu into a crescent moon.
Half a month after the wedding, Lu Xiwen and Pei Wu resumed work.
Lu Xiwen originally planned to take another honeymoon trip, but Pei Wu, who was "half-dead," simply refused. At that time, Pei Zhu, with a hoarse voice, tried his best to persuade her: "Jiguang Island has everything that other places have. If you are tired, we can come here to rest and not bother with any more trouble."
Lu Xiwen thought about it and agreed.
After indulging in her princess fantasies, Pei Zhen returned to S University to study. She excelled academically, and Pei Wu saved most of the monthly allowance she received. In her spare time, she would work part-time, and with her scholarships, she had more than enough to live on.
After being fed all sorts of nourishment by Lu Xiwen for two years, she finally emerged from the little sprout state under Zhang Wenxiu's care, fully blossomed, and became confident and beautiful.
Lu Xiwen went on a business trip early in the morning, and Pei Wu, seeing that it was Friday, called Pei Zhen in advance.
Pei Zhengang had just rejected a handsome basketball player's confession when he received a phone call. He was overjoyed: "Hey bro, come over! There's a new restaurant that just opened near the school. The food is really good. I just got my scholarship money, so I'll treat you to dinner."
Pei Wu chuckled, "Okay."
Pei Zhen was tidying her desk when her roommate leaned over and said in a somewhat intriguing tone, "You just rejected Xiang Shuo, he's very popular and an A-level Alpha."
"Really?" Pei Zhen was multitasking, worried that the restaurant would be too popular and there wouldn't be any seats available, so she thought of making a reservation first.
Don't you think Xiang Shuo is handsome?
Pei Zhen thought about it carefully for a moment: "...It's alright."
He was indeed tall and fair-skinned, but she had seen the pinnacle of Alpha beauty, and with her brother being an Omega who could create the pinnacle of human aesthetics just by looking in the mirror, she suddenly lost all concept of appearance and saw everyone the same.
In late autumn, the air carries the dry, cold scent of withered grass and trees. Large numbers of sycamore leaves fall from the trees on both sides of the road, making a "squeak" sound when stepped on, which once became a popular gathering place for couples.
This area is close to the parking lot, so Pei Zhen waited five minutes in advance.
As luck would have it, I ran into Xiang Shuo with a group of friends, both men and women.
They saw Pei Zhen on the other side, and their playful antics immediately slowed down.
Pei Zhen felt helpless. She had privately rejected Xiang Shuo's advances once, but she didn't know if he had misunderstood or what, thinking that she liked excitement. So Pei Zhen had no choice but to reject him again in public.
Xiang Shuo probably felt embarrassed in the afternoon, and his face looked quite unpleasant when he left. But Pei Zhen didn't want to hold anyone back. Before she enrolled, Lu Xiwen had repeatedly told her that it was okay to date, but not to date just for the sake of dating.
Xiang Shuo looked at Pei Zhen and suddenly reached out to hug an Omega next to him.
The people around them were deliberately egging them on.
"Xiang Shuo comes from a good family and is good-looking; he's the best she could possibly have access to, and she still turned him down?"
"Just pretending."
The wind carried some whispers, but Pei Zhen pretended not to hear them.
When Xiang Shuo saw Pei Zhen look away, he suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something.
"Hey, Pei Zhen, who are you waiting for?" asked a boy who was close to Xiang Shuo. He didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen answered truthfully, "I'm waiting for my brother."
"We're going to karaoke, want to come along?"
"I'm not going, I'm treating my brother to dinner."
Someone chuckled lightly: "You've been working part-time all weekend, how much money could you possibly make to treat everyone to a meal? Forget it, since Brother Shuo is here, I'll treat you."
Pei Zhen's face fell slightly: "Really, no need, thank you."
"Alright!" Xiang Shuo said coldly, "Are you all shameless? You force someone who doesn't want to?"
"It's because I felt sorry for her..."
Xiang Shuo's anger is quite frightening. A-level pheromones are transmitted through emotions, and there is no one with a higher pheromone level than him. Lu Xiwen has a lot of them around him, but that's because he is a natural leader and alpha wolf, and he will actively attract some strong people. However, in the campus, A-level is already very powerful.
"Xiao Zhen?" A gentle, clear voice rang out.
Pei Zhen jumped up immediately: "Brother!"
Pei Wu strode over.
Golden sycamore leaves fell softly to the side, serving as a backdrop for him for a fleeting moment.
Pei Wu wore a brown wool overcoat that went past his knees over his suit. The gray scarf was something Lu Xiwen had repeatedly told him to wear. Pei Wu's hair was a little long, and it slightly covered his eyebrows and eyes when he looked down, but when he looked up, it was captivating. He wore the gold-rimmed glasses he needed for an afternoon of work, and his jawline was clean and smooth.
Ignoring the sharp edge he exudes, he truly resembles a learned, gentle, and self-disciplined professor.
"You didn't have to wait long, did you?" Pei Wu handed Pei Zhen a pair of gloves that she had bought earlier.
As Pei Zhen put the clothes on, she whispered, "Did Brother Lu buy these?"
The fluffy rabbit decoration on the back of his hand was clearly Lu Xiwen's work.
This person's girlish heart sometimes inexplicably appears when he meets Pei Zhen. Pei Wu later figured it out and realized that Lu Xiwen was treating his sister like a living figurine.
"Hmm." Pei Wu chuckled. "He instructed me to make sure it's given to you."
"It's so warm." Pei Zhen wiggled her fingers, clearly enjoying it.
At this moment, Pei Wu glanced back and looked at Xiang Shuo and the others.
"Your friend?"
"No, that doesn't count." Pei Zhen said softly, "I might have offended someone."
Pei Wu: "Should I go over and talk to them?"
"No, that's not it!" Pei Zhen said embarrassedly, "Let's go, bro."
Pei Wu wasn't as aggressive as Lu Xiwen, but the chill he exuded was something that only became apparent after the initial amazement.
Everyone, including Xiang Shuo, thought he was an Alpha until Pei Wu turned around and they saw the gland patch on his neck.
Xiang Shuo's friend exclaimed, "He's so handsome it's unreasonable."
A moment of silence followed.
Because Pei Zhen had made a reservation in advance, they got a window seat with a view of S University's iconic book-shaped building. The dishes were all home-style stir-fries, and Pei Wu wasn't picky; he just ordered whatever Pei Zhen liked.
Pei Zhen glanced at her brother furtively, then quickly replied to the message.
Lu Xiwen: [Sis, you have the next two days off, come stay at my place. Stop bothering your brother; I suspect someone has designs on him!]
Pei Zhen typed quickly: [Is she also a top-tier Alpha?]
What are you dreaming about? I'm the only top-tier person in the entire Rainbow City.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Pei Zhen thought to herself. "What if I get kicked into a crack in the wall when I get back?"
Lu Xiwen: [Sis! I'll buy you a gift when you come back. I can't stand other people looking at your brother. You have to help me.]
Pei Zhen readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll take Ke's new cake; I've heard it's delicious."
Lu Xiwen: 【I'll get you an annual pass!!!】
Pei Zhen: [Brother Lu, I'll hit wherever you point!]
Lu Xiwen felt a sudden relief as he took a breath.
Actually, Lu Xiwen wasn't making a fuss over nothing. At the banquet a few days ago, a newly rich man in his mid-twenties did fawn over Pei Wu. Before Lu Xiwen went on his business trip, he even had flowers delivered to his office!
