Chapter 157 A Mechanical Bird



After finishing their meal, the group prepared to return to the lounge to rest.

At Lingyun College, every student has a lounge.

These lounges were arranged according to the students' friendships, not randomly.

Several children who get along well will live in a villa, each with their own small room, so they don't bother each other.

Gou Xi used to live in a small villa with no friends; she lived in a single-story house by herself. Now that Tang Wan has come, she naturally goes to Tang Wan's place and lives with her.

Lu Ze and Tang Wan are relatives, and of course they live in the same villa.

Chen Shuo and Fu Wenzhi were also arranged by their elders to stay in a small villa in Tangwan.

Their relationship has also grown much closer without them even realizing it. Each student's lounge is independent, so they don't have to worry about disturbing anyone, and the privacy is excellent.

These villas with lounges are actually quite small, with each room containing only basic amenities.

However, the comfort level of use is highly emphasized, and compared to a dormitory, this lounge makes people feel more at home.

When Tang Wan first came here, she found it somewhat unbelievable.

It turns out that some schools really do have the words "I am very rich" engraved on their foreheads.

However, the entire Lingyun Academy does not have the style of a nouveau riche; rather, it exudes an understated luxury.

The students' villas were almost all brought by their own families, and Tang Wan's villa was designed by Lu Lin himself.

Everything in her lounge was arranged by Lu Lin, including a teddy bear that Tang Wan liked.

The whole setup is like a tree nest, with only a large, soft bed that you can lie down in comfortably.

As for the other children, apart from Lu Lin helping to decorate Lu Ze's room, he didn't have the time to care about the others.

So they were left to their own rooms, since they could all stay there anyway.

...

On the other side.

Si Huai and Pei Yunzhou met.

Upon hearing Si Huai's speculations, Pei Yunzhou leaned back dramatically, holding a glass of red wine in his hand. His eyes were on the wine, but his gaze was unfocused, clearly indicating that he wasn't paying attention to it.

He casually remarked, "You must be mistaken. Fu Wenzhi is only eight years old. How would he know what 'like' means?"

Si Huai actually agreed with Pei Yunzhou's words.

After all, they are too young and too rational; how could they distinguish between love and friendship?

Does friendship not involve possessiveness?

That's impossible; everyone has a possessive nature.

Didn't you see that Gou Xi also dislikes Lu Ze all the time?

It's because she felt that Lu Ze was taking Tangtang away from her.

Thinking about this, Si Huai also felt somewhat uncertain.

But Tangtang is the daughter he finally found, so how could he not be wary of these little brats?

What if they kidnap my daughter?

Si Huai couldn't withstand such a blow.

The reason we didn't go to the Lu family to ask for Tangtang back was because we didn't want to put her in a difficult position, but couldn't the Fu and Pei families give them a warning themselves?

Pei Yunzhou looked at Si Huai, whose face was somewhat dark, and downed the red wine in his hand in one gulp, looking almost like a thug.

His gentle and refined demeanor vanished the moment he took a sip of wine.

Pei Yunzhou wiped his mouth and slowly said in plain language, "Tangtang doesn't seem like the kind of child who will mature early."

These words were a wake-up call for Si Huai.

Yes.

Tangtang is a child who doesn't care much about love.

She likes these emotions, which she sees as family and friendship.

She had never thought about love.

Unless someone deliberately points it out to her, she probably won't realize it until she's twenty.

Her heart was filled with too many things.

I have family, goals, studies, and many people I care about...

As a result, there are some things she subconsciously ignores.

Si Huai breathed a sigh of relief and drank the wine in front of him.

After Si Huai left, Pei Yunzhou took out his phone and dialed one of the phone numbers.

The call was connected very quickly.

Pei Yunzhou wore a sly smile, his voice still a little hoarse: "My dear nephew, Si Huai is very dissatisfied with you."

Fu Wenzhi on the other end of the phone wasn't angry; he just chuckled softly without saying anything substantial.

Pei Yunzhou just wanted to tease this prodigy.

After all, the chances of seeing Fu Wenzhi suffer a setback are extremely rare.

"What? You don't believe me? People really dislike you."

Fu Wenzhi did not take Pei Yunzhou's words to heart.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his voice as usual: "He doesn't dare to restrict Tangtang's friendships."

"So I will become friends with Tangtang."

Pei Yunzhou paused slightly upon hearing Fu Wenzhi's words.

friend?

Just friends?!

Why make such a big fuss over just friends?

That one short sentence nearly burned out Pei Yunzhou's CPU.

Transferring schools and asking mom for help, all just to make a friend?

You've made a pretty sincere friend.

Pei Yunzhou thought so, but he didn't say it out loud.

He even finds his nephew, who has never been a favorite since childhood, to be somewhat adorable now.

They're adorably silly.

Are the feelings of adolescence just child's play, just a passing whim?

Pei Yunzhou didn't think so.

When a person realizes that they are an independent individual, can have an equal dialogue and communication with another completely different individual, and is certain that they can live in this world, it is already a prerequisite for establishing a relationship.

But Pei Yunzhou did not want to make it clear.

I feel that Fu Wenzhi is not as smart as I imagined. He is even a bit clumsy and slow-witted, just like Tang Wan.

Seeing that Pei Yunzhou hadn't said anything important, Fu Wenzhi hung up the phone.

His lounge was opposite Tang Wan's; he could see Tang Wan's room as soon as he opened the door.

But he did nothing; he simply turned on his computer and started working.

He has already completed the first step.

He has already come to Tang Wan's side.

He had plenty of time to observe Tangtang and clarify his own thoughts.

There's no need to be too hasty.

Soon, the lunch break ended, and the door to Tangwan's rest room opened.

The others didn't stay in bed either; they went straight out.

The first person to meet Tang Wan was Chen Shuo. He wasn't wearing his usual headphones; he was just staring at the ground with a bored expression, lost in thought.

Tang Wan walked to his side without disturbing him.

Suddenly, Tang Wan felt a cold hand grasp her hand and then put something into her palm.

Tang Wan subconsciously raised her hand and glanced at it.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

It is a mechanical bird.

It is made up of many parts and looks very lifelike.

It is even filled with a vitality that only living things can possess.
