No, how did Cheng Xuelin and Jiang Qingyuan get to know each other?
Jiang Qingyuan, that brainless idiot, even brought Cheng Xuelin home. What is he trying to do?
Pei Wang didn't know whether he should know Cheng Xuelin or not.
Brother Pei exclaimed in surprise, "Xue Lin? What a coincidence!"
Sister-in-law Pei clapped her hands and said, "Brother-in-law, Xue Lin used to be an educated youth in our area. Later, he seemed to get sick and was transferred back home. I never expected that he would be admitted to university."
"Really?" Jiang Qingyuan was also surprised. He didn't expect that Cheng Xuelin knew Pei Zhi and the others.
Sister-in-law Pei went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and hurriedly invited everyone to sit down, "Quickly, quickly, let's eat first, and I'll go cook two more dishes."
Cheng Xuelin quickly said, "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll just have a bite."
"How can this be? We've finally managed to meet, we can't just make do." Sister-in-law Pei said as she went into the kitchen.
Cheng Xuelin sat between Pei Wang and Jiang Qingyuan, holding his bowl and chopsticks somewhat awkwardly.
Brother Pei laughed and said, "It really is true. Birds of a feather flock together. What a coincidence."
Pei Wang was nearly scared to death. "Big brother, what do you mean by that?"
It sounds so strange to say we're all family or not.
Brother Pei scratched his head and said, "Ah, I was just saying, we have a special connection with Xue Lin."
Pei Wang chuckled dryly twice, but didn't reply.
After Cheng Xuelin came in, Pei Zhi remained quite silent, except for greeting him briefly.
Brother Pei took a sip of his drink. "A-Wang, didn't you and Xue Lin have a pretty good relationship before? Why have you become distant after not seeing each other for a while?"
Pei Wang had a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart. Just as he was wondering what to say, his sister-in-law brought over the dishes.
"There's not much food left at home, so I'll make some stir-fried loofah with eggs and a vegetable soup. You guys wait a bit."
"Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law."
Jiang Qingyuan and Cheng Xuelin spoke one after the other.
Sister-in-law Pei quickly waved her hand: "No trouble at all, no trouble at all, please eat more."
Jiang Qingyuan talked to Cheng Xuelin about his studies. Jiang Qingyuan was now being taken under the wing of his teacher and was basically doing odd jobs for him.
Cheng Xuelin was one of the more outstanding freshmen this year, and the two got along well.
Jiang Qingyuan never expected that Cheng Xuelin would know Pei Zhi and the others; this was an incredible coincidence.
"Xuelin, if you have any questions at school, just come to me."
Cheng Xuelin nodded, "Thank you, senior brother."
Jiang Qingyuan wanted to say, "Cheng Xuelin, don't be so polite," but suddenly heard Cheng Xuelin speak.
"Don't you dislike eating loofah?"
Pei Zhi listened absentmindedly to Cheng Xuelin and Jiang Qingyuan's conversation, not even noticing the loofah in her hand.
In short, even Brother Pei, who is usually careless, noticed that something was wrong.
Pei Zhi's man is still here, and Cheng Xuelin says something like that, isn't that weird?
Pei Wang immediately scratched his head and said, "Haha, Xue Lin, you have a good memory. Do you remember me telling you that Zhizhi doesn't like to eat loofah?"
Pei Zhi had a loofah on her chopsticks, but she didn't know whether to put it down or pick it up again.
Jiang Qingyuan moved the bowl closer and asked Pei Zhi to put the loofah in his bowl.
Jiang Qingyuan said, "It seems that Second Brother and Xue Lin have a really good relationship."
Cheng Xuelin forced a smile and nodded, "Yes, we've had a few meals together before."
Jiang Qingyuan's gaze turned slightly cold; the atmosphere had been somewhat off ever since he entered.
Jiang Qingyuan sat between Cheng Xuelin and Pei Zhi, and Cheng Xuelin would occasionally look up at Pei Zhi.
Although the movements were subtle, Jiang Qingyuan noticed them all.
Could it be that something happened between them before?
After dinner, Pei Wang, using the excuse of having something to do, dragged Cheng Xuelin to his room.
Pei Zhi, Jiang Qingyuan, and her sister-in-law helped each other clean up the leftovers.
As for the eldest brother, he had already gone back to his room and was fast asleep.
After tidying up, Jiang Qingyuan pulled Pei Zhi back to the room, took a box out of his bag, and opened it to find a watch inside.
Pei Zhi pretended not to understand: "What is this?"
"This is for you."
The watch is exquisitely crafted and is probably no cheaper than the one Du Lei gave it to.
It turns out that Jiang Qingyuan had been keeping the matter of the watch in mind all along.
But strangely, Jiang Qingyuan didn't ask any questions.
Instead, he gave her an even better one, which Pei Zhi couldn't understand. What was Jiang Qingyuan thinking? Was he trying to compete with her?
"Where did you get the money?" Pei Zhi remembered that Jiang Qingyuan's bankbook was with her.
Jiang Qingyuan explained, "I received a scholarship when school started, and I also worked under a teacher, who paid me a salary."
"It looks pretty good."
Jiang Qingyuan suddenly asked, "What do you think of Cheng Xuelin?"
Pei Zhi, clutching her watch, asked with a smile, "Don't you know him? Why are you asking me?"
Jiang Qingyuan's eyes held a hint of probing. "Wasn't he an educated youth in your village? I only just met him, so I don't know him very well."
"The teacher thinks highly of him. If he has no problems with his character, I will feel at ease working with him in the future."
Pei Zhi smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead. "His character? I'm not too sure about that. He works honestly in the village and hasn't caused any trouble."
Pei Zhi knew the art of speaking, and she couldn't lavish praise on Zan Xuelin in front of Jiang Qingyuan.
This will definitely provoke Jiang Qingyuan's rebellious mentality.
Pei Zhi couldn't remain silent, lest Jiang Qingyuan become suspicious.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Qingyuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
If it weren't for Du Lei's involvement, Jiang Qingyuan would have seriously suspected that Cheng Xuelin and Pei Zhi had something going on.
But that's unlikely. Pei Zhi is entangled with Du Lei, so how could she have time to deal with Cheng Xuelin?
Pei Zhi hugged Jiang Qingyuan and asked him to stay with her for a nap, thus diverting Jiang Qingyuan's attention.
The young couple hadn't slept together for a week, so naturally they wanted to spend some quality time together.
When Pei Zhi rented this house, she deliberately tested it and found that apartment buildings are much better soundproofed than her old bungalow.
If you make a little noise, you won't be heard.
Inside Pei Wang's room, Pei Wang paced back and forth in anger.
"What are you trying to do by deliberately getting close to my brother-in-law?"
Jiang Qingyuan didn't know who Cheng Xuelin was. Did Cheng Xuelin not know who Jiang Qingyuan was?
Pei Wang said coldly, "You should know that there is absolutely no possibility between you and Zhizhi."
“I know.” Cheng Xuelin lowered his eyes. “Senior brother needs to choose a freshman as an assistant, and I genuinely want to help him.”
"Heh." Pei Wang smirked. "How can you be so magnanimous? You're even helping your rival in love?"
Pei Wang isn't stupid; where in the world is there such a good person?
Willingly helping his love rival? What, is Cheng Xuelin bored with being a college student and wants to become a Good Samaritan?
