Chapter 81 Early Death White Moonlight 2 Delicious, sweet
As soon as he appeared, everyone looked at him.
Wu Yue was also looking at him, and Pei Lanhe was very perceptive. He immediately noticed her gaze and looked over.
Their eyes met for a moment. She was startled, then responded with a polite smile. Pei Lanhe also naturally looked away and stepped inside.
"Lan He is here, come here quickly." Grandpa Huo smiled and waved. His paintings had been hung up and were not displayed, as this would easily cause wrinkles.
Grandpa Huo treasured his paintings very much. "Take a look and see if my paintings are real. We old guys' eyesight is not good anymore, so we have to rely on you young people to distinguish them."
Pei Lanhe nodded slightly, "Okay."
Wu Yue was surprised to see that Grandpa Huo was so optimistic about him. You know, Grandpa Huo is also a master in the painting world.
Moreover, seeing that my grandfather and several other elders did not recognize Pei Lanhe, it was obvious that he was a new friend of Grandpa Huo.
Grandpa Huo then smiled and explained, "I met Pei Xiaoyou when I was walking the dog one day. I saw him collecting folk songs by the lake and saw that he had painted an excellent painting. Lan He, these guys are all retired teachers. If you have any academic questions, just ask. Oh, and Xiaoyue is Old Zhu's granddaughter. You two went to the same school."
Pei Lanhe looked aloof, but polite. He greeted everyone one by one according to Grandpa Huo's words. His voice was fresh and steady like a young man.
When he looked at Wu Yue, his brows and eyes were calm, and he said lightly, "Hello, classmate Wu."
Wu Yue also responded in the same way, "Hello, Pei."
Then they fell silent, and Pei Lanhe immersed himself in the world of looking at paintings. His insights and eloquent conversation attracted the attention of a group of elders.
Even Grandpa Zhu was full of praise.
It is rare for an outstanding junior to be so calm and composed when being praised, which is rare at this age.
Wu Yue looked up, then lowered her head to eat.
She was sweaty and tired from dancing, and she was already hungry, so she ate with relish.
After a while, someone sat down next to her, bringing with him a cool fragrance that did not belong to the box, like the fragrance emitted by the moonlight in the Milky Way in the sky.
Wu Yue turned her head and saw that it was Pei Lanhe.
"Ayue, Lan He was busy just now. He came here halfway and hasn't eaten yet. You two should eat first." Grandpa Huo took the time to turn his head and said, "We old guys are full. You can eat as you please."
Talking hurriedly, he plunged into the topic of painting again.
The private room is large and beautiful, with an antique screen that separates the area for drinking tea and chatting from the area for eating.
In order to prevent the precious paintings from getting stained with oil, Grandpa Huo and his friends were admiring the paintings on the other side of the screen, and occasional chatter could be heard.
There were only Wu Yue and Pei Lanhe at the dinner table.
The food had been replaced before Wu Yue arrived. There were four dishes and one soup. Grandpa Huo ordered her favorites, and most of them were spicy.
She looks gentle and elegant, but she particularly likes spicy food.
Wu Yue glanced at Pei Lanhe.
Seeing his out-of-this-world look, she reminded him, "Mr. Pei, if the food doesn't suit your taste, you can order a new one."
"No, it's edible." Pei Lanhe was very frugal with words and only responded with these four words.
He turned the table and scooped up some rice, picked up a piece of spicy chicken with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, his expression as usual.
Seeing this, Wu Yue shut up.
The two of them ate quietly, with the occasional sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl.
Wu Yue is not rude when eating, and she has the necessary manners. She is elegant and refined.
only···
She glanced at Pei Lanhe. He was eating in a very pleasant way, but she was suspicious. It seemed as if he was eating a palace meal in a very rigid way. Even the amount of rice he picked up with one chopstick was the same.
It doesn't look like obsessive-compulsive disorder, but more like a warning ingrained in one's bones.
After just a second of staring, Pei Lanhe raised his eyes to look at her. His eyes were as warm as jade, yet cold and calm. "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Wu Yue looked away embarrassedly.
She lowered her head and took a bite of rice, not paying attention, and bit a piece of chili pepper, which choked her and made her cough.
Wu Yue has a habit.
She likes spicy food, but she only likes the spicy taste in the dishes. She hates eating chili peppers, whether they are non-spicy or spicy, she hates all chili peppers.
Wu Yue's throat felt choked and tears welled up in her eyes.
She reached out to find water, and a cup filled with water appeared in front of her. The fingers holding the cup were beautiful, slender and with distinct joints.
Wu Yue was no longer able to speak. She took the cup, tilted her head back and drank most of it. There was still an uncomfortable itch and spiciness in her throat, but it was much better now.
She sniffed, and the mist forced out made her eyes watery, clean and clear, and her mouth rosy.
It looks so pitiful, but also sweet and soft.
"Thank you, classmate Pei." Wu Yue looked at Pei Lanhe gratefully, her eyes sparkling like little stars.
Because she had been coughing violently just now, her voice was a little hoarse, and she unconsciously stretched out the ending of the tone to relieve the discomfort. It sounded sweet, as if she was acting coquettishly to him.
Pei Lanhe stared at her quietly for two seconds, then met Wu Yue's lively eyes. He pursed his lips and naturally withdrew his gaze from the bright red on the rice.
He said, "How's your throat?"
Wu Yue was a little surprised that he would ask this question.
After all, Pei doesn't look like someone who would care. He is pretty, but too distant.
But she was judging people by appearance. It was Pei who handed her the water just now.
"Much better, but still a little uncomfortable." Wu Yue felt it and drank up the rest of the water, but it didn't relieve the pain much.
She has an old problem. She easily chokes when eating spicy food and then keeps coughing. Her throat feels uncomfortable and in severe cases it may become inflamed.
Keren is like this, she only remembers eating and not the pain. After she recovered, she still ate happily.
Pei Lanhe nodded and blinked her feather-like eyelashes.
The next moment, he said, "Are you full?"
"I'm full." Wu Yue nodded. She had been eating.
Just three words didn't seem very good, so Wu Yue asked again, "Mr. Pei, are there any other dishes you want to eat?"
"No." Pei Lanhe stood up, looking down at Wu Yue, "Let's go and get the medicine."
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment.
After realizing what Pei Lanhe was pointing at, she smiled and shook her head, "No need, it will be fine in a moment..."
But as Pei Lanhe kept staring at her calmly without saying anything, Wu Yue felt inexplicably guilty and spoke even more softly.
There is a kind of reflection that “I was wrong”.
So strange.
He was not angry, his emotions were very calm, and he did not look fierce. However, it was this very calm sharpness that made people unable to resist.
Seeing her guilty expression, Pei Lanhe's eyes flashed with a smile, so fast that he couldn't even catch it.
He still said calmly, "It's the peak season for bronchitis now. It's easy to get sick if you don't pay attention."
Wu Yue was silent for two seconds.
"Okay, go get the medicine."
She wanted to say no, but she couldn't say it because her voice was still a little hoarse.
Wu Yue went to tell her grandfather where she was going.
He also sneezed twice during this time.
Now that National Day has passed, the weather has started to get colder. It is warm with the sun during the day, but cold and windy at night.
When she came out of the dance studio, she had already changed into her own clothes, a simple short skirt suit that revealed her straight, white legs.
But the air conditioner was still on here, and after being on for a long time, she felt a little cold.
The two walked out of the box one after the other.
Pei Lanhe was a head taller than her, and he deliberately slowed down his pace to let Wu Yue walk beside him.
Seeing her rubbing her nose and calling out "Aqiu" again, his brows wrinkled slightly, like water passing by without a trace.
His shoulders suddenly felt heavy, and Wu Yue looked down. A piece of clothing was draped over him, bringing warmth and the scent of Pei Lanhe.
He was wearing a white shirt and a dark green jacket today, which suited him very well, making him look like a gentleman.
This dress is very big. It is just the right length for Pei Lanhe, but it is a little longer than the hem when she wears it.
Wu Yue said embarrassedly, "Mr. Pei, I'm not cold."
However, Pei Lanhe did not respond and just walked with his eyes fixed on the front. This left Wu Yue with no choice but to continue wearing her coat.
She whispered, "Thank you."
Pei Lanhe just nodded this time.
On Friday, many parents brought their children out to eat, and now there are many children running and playing in the aisles.
When they're having fun, they don't look at the road and just rush over here.
Pei Lanhe was quick to grab Wu Yue's arm and pull her towards him, preventing the child who was running without looking at the road from bumping into her.
Suddenly, Wu Yue felt panicked.
Pei Lanhe also held the child with his other hand.
There is a staircase here. If you don't look at the road, you will definitely fall.
"Thank you, big brother." The child was not a naughty child. At the age of five, he knew he was wrong and apologized obediently, "Sister, I'm sorry."
Wu Yue smiled and patted his head, "It's okay."
The child blushed, bent down to pick up the ball, turned around and ran into the group of children. They went to play somewhere else.
The two continued to walk towards the gate, and Wu Yue felt something was wrong.
She lowered her eyes and saw Pei Lanhe's hand was still around her wrist.
His hands were so big that her wrists looked so thin.
"Sorry." Pei Lanhe also noticed this, and he naturally let go.
Wu Yue shook her head slightly, "It's okay, Pei is helping me too."
"Pei Lanhe."
"Um?"
"You can just call me by my name."
"...Okay, Pei Lanhe."
"Um."
He spoke very little, looked cold and indifferent, and his whole demeanor was uneventful.
The brief conversation ended, and the two were speechless for a moment.
Wu Yue was not familiar with him. As it was their first meeting, she had no idea what to talk about. Chatting would be awkward, so she had to remain calm.
Walk out the door and to the left for a few minutes and you will enter the bustling nightlife, which seems like a completely different world from the private room.
There is a pharmacy nearby.
They went in to buy throat syrup, which can be purchased online and delivered, but it would be best to come and ask the clerk to choose the right medicine.
The evening breeze brings with it the coolness that only comes with autumn.
Pei Lanhe's coat was thin, but it kept her warm very well. Wu Yue didn't feel cold, but rather warm.
The two returned the same way.
This is the time when young people have time to play after a busy day, and there are many pedestrians.
Wu Yue smelled a sweet scent in the air.
She looked around and saw a small shop across the street selling roasted sweet potatoes, and many people were buying them.
At this moment, Pei Lanhe's voice came from above his head, "Want to eat?"
"Yeah." Wu Yue nodded, looking eagerly at the opposite side, "I haven't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time."
She has her own set of "food rules", for example, roasted sweet potatoes should be eaten in cold weather, and roasted rice cakes should be saved for the Chinese New Year.
If you eat normally, you won’t get the sense of happiness and satisfaction that comes with that kind of time atmosphere.
"Let's go." Pei Lanhe and her went to wait for the traffic light.
Seeing Wu Yue looking forward to it, with her eyes glued to the roasted sweet potato opposite, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Both of them are good-looking and have good temperament. They are still in their youth. They are pleasing to the eye when they walk together and they attract a lot of attention.
After buying the roasted sweet potato she had been longing for, Wu Yue couldn't wait to peel it. It was a little hot, so she blew on it while peeling it, reluctant to let go.
Seeing that she was in a panic but kept smiling, Pei Lanhe stared at her for a long time, with confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.
I don't seem to understand why she would be happy about such a small thing.
The look in his eyes was as if he was observing a new human being whose words and actions were beyond his comprehension.
The first time she tasted it, Wu Yue's eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"
This shop uses charcoal fire to slowly roast the food. The skin is not black but golden and crispy. When you tear it open, the inside is golden and beautiful, very appetizing. No wonder so many people come to buy it.
Wu Yue ate happily and looked up at him, "Pei Lanye, you should have one too, it's delicious."
Pei Lanhe had no appetite, "You eat."
When the two of them walked together, Wu Yue felt embarrassed to eat alone.
Moreover, when there is something delicious, it is naturally more delicious to eat it together.
Wu Yue urged, "Eat it, eat it, just try it, it's really delicious."
Pei Lanhe met her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
He was holding a bag with a few more in it.
Baked sweet potatoes taste better when they are small.
The two were waiting to return to the opposite traffic light. Pei Lanhe wrapped one with a tissue and tore off the skin like Wu Yue.
He took a bite, his expression calm.
Wu Yue was stunned. Why was his reaction so calm?
It was the same when he was eating just now. His expression remained unchanged no matter what he ate. He didn't seem happy when he ate delicious food, nor did he seem disgusted when he ate unpalatable food.
That calm, emotionless expression, like a robot that cannot feel human feelings.
Wu Yue was unsure and asked in a low voice, "Pei Lanhe, isn't this delicious?"
She heard that some sweet potatoes had bugs in them, and Pei Lanhe wouldn't be so unlucky as to eat one.
Pei Lanhe was silent for a moment.
He lowered his eyes and saw his own figure in Wu Yue's pupils. He didn't know whether the smile he saw was hers or his in her eyes.
"Delicious." Pei Lanhe naturally moved his gaze away and looked at the zebra crossing. "Very sweet."
Roasted sweet potatoes taste sweet, isn’t that what she said just now?
Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't have to eat the roasted sweet potatoes with bugs in them.
She asked him to try it with her. It would be really embarrassing if he actually ate the roasted sweet potato with worms in it.
