As smart as little Pei Zhao was, he naturally understood what his mother meant and knew that his mother loved him, so he happily agreed.
After leaving the clothing store, the two of them went shopping in various shops. Su Li also bought Pei Zhao various clothes, accessories, and things to use. Soon, it was time for the sun to set.
Pei Zhao wanted to eat wontons for dinner, so Su Li took him to a small restaurant to eat wontons.
"Zhao'er, do you want to go back to the inn with your mother, or go back to the academy?" For the past six months, Pei Zhao has been living in the academy with Mr. Song. During the holidays, he would go home with Mr. Song.
Pei Zhao chuckled and said, "Mom, I haven't finished my lessons for today yet. I want to go back to the academy..."
"Little bookworm!" Su Li tapped his nose with amusement. She was not surprised at all that he would say that. However, it was good for Pei Zhao to live in the academy. It would be more convenient to live in the academy than in the inn if he wanted to study. Besides, she would have her own things to do later and could not take him with her all the time.
"Eat, and when you're full, I'll take you back to the academy..."
"Well, Mom, I want to buy some cream cake later..."
"Cream cake? But it's from Mingyue Pastry Shop?"
Calculating the time, it has been several months since she sold the cream formula to Yu Wuyan, and it should have been on the market long ago.
"Yes, mother, the cream cake is really delicious, Master also likes it..."
"good……"
After they had eaten, they went to Mingyue Dim Sum Shop. The dim sum shop was not far from here and they arrived there after a short walk.
The layout of the pastry shop here is similar to the Mingyue Pastry Shop she went to in Qiongzhou. It is filled with all kinds of pastries, which are dazzling to look at.
Among them, cream-based pastries account for a small half. It can be seen that cream is also very popular here.
Su Li bought two small cream cakes for Pei Zhao, as well as several egg tarts and other pastries, and asked him to take them back and eat them with his master. She also bought a small cake for herself, as she hadn't eaten it for a long time and was craving it.
Afterwards, he hired a carriage to take Pei Zhao back to the academy.
"Young Master, are you back?"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the academy, he saw the servant who usually took care of Pei Zhao waiting for him at the door.
Shu Tong was not very old, looking no more than twelve or thirteen years old. Su Li didn't expect that he would wait for her here, and she didn't know how long he had been waiting. When she got off the carriage, she simply gave him the small cake she bought for herself.
The little servant was a little embarrassed at first, but finally accepted the cake at Su Li's insistence, and then took Pei Zhao into the academy with a smile on his face.
After giving the small cake away, Su Li took a carriage directly back to Mingyue Pastry Shop and bought two small cream cakes.
When we returned to the inn, it was already dark.
Su Li asked the waiter to bring hot water. After taking a comfortable bath, she slowly savored the cake.
She looked out the window. The lights were already on outside. Pei Ji should be back to the inn by now. She had to go and say hello to him.
Thinking of this, she took the other uneaten cake and went to find him.
“Knock knock knock!”
As soon as I knocked on the door, it opened quickly from the inside.
She smiled and said, "Pei Ji, I'm here..."
Suddenly seeing Su Li's bright smiling face, Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, and an indescribable joy suddenly surged in his heart. He pulled Su Li over and hugged her tightly.
"Ali, you're here..."
He misses her very much.
Ever since he injured his leg and saw her lively personality on the way to Qiongzhou, she has lived in his heart.
At first, he didn't realize it. He only knew that on the way to Beijing, he would often think of her unconsciously. He would think of her when reading, when staying at the inn, when eating, and when seeing strange scenery...
After arriving in the capital, he looked forward to her coming every day. She never came, and he couldn't control his anxiety and became more and more anxious.
He thought he was sick, until the moment he saw her, he realized that his anxiety was all due to his longing for her.
He wants to see her.
One day without seeing you, I miss you like crazy...
So this is what the book calls love?
Then he likes her.
I like...
At this moment, Su Li's eyes widened slightly. She was shocked by Pei Ji's sudden action and her whole body froze.
She wasn't someone who didn't understand love. On the contrary, she had experienced love several times in her past life. Pei Ji had always been aloof, but now this hug that was clearly filled with emotion, and that gentle, affectionate tone...
This is clearly...
Pei Ji actually likes her?
When did it start?
Obviously, his leg was fine, and she didn't have the chance to encourage him like the original owner in the original novel, nor did she have the chance to stay with him?
Why would he fall in love with her for no reason?
Taking a deep breath, Su Li reached out and patted his back, signaling him to let go.
Although Pei Ji let go of her obediently, his beautiful eyes looked at her with affection.
The burning gaze was so intense that she could hardly look him in the eye.
Su Li was a little embarrassed.
The truth is, she knew that he and the original heroine were the official couple, and he would fall in love with the original heroine in the future, so she had always regarded him as someone to work with in dealing with Princess Rongfu. Once she changed the original owner's predetermined fate of early death, she would divorce him and live a free and easy life alone.
Who would have thought...
"Uh..." She looked natural, raised the cream cake in her hand and asked with a smile: "I bought a cream cake, do you want to eat it?"
“…”
Su Li didn't give him time to react. She put the cake on the table and opened it herself.
Pei Ji pursed his lips, closed the door, and sat down opposite Su Li.
"When did you arrive in the capital?"
"Last night, we went to the academy to look for Zhao'er this morning. Afterwards, we came to look for you, but you were not at the inn at that time..."
Pei Ji explained, "I was at the Ministry of Rites' Imperial Academy, attending Princess Rongfu's prayer meeting..."
Su Li originally didn't know when he would meet Princess Rongfu, but when she saw Princess Rongfu's carriage on the street today, she knew it. Not only that, she also knew that he had brought fatal disaster upon her.
"How is my father-in-law?"
"It's not tuberculosis, but a disease with symptoms very similar to tuberculosis. My mother and I accompanied my father in Los Angeles for half a month for treatment, and he is now fully recovered."
Pei Ji nodded: "That's good..."
Then he asked, "Where do you live now?"
Su Li smiled and said, "It's right here in this inn. I'll open it as a guesthouse for two months. When you become the top scholar, we'll move into the top scholar's mansion!"
"Hmm?" Pei Ji was slightly stunned. Although he was completely confident in himself, he was still very surprised by her certain tone. "How can you be sure that I will be the top scorer?"
Su Li smiled and said, "You are so outstanding, you will definitely be able to pass the exam and become the top scorer. I believe in you!"
Of course she was sure, because she had read the original novel.
