Chapter 87
87 An invitation
PEI Yi held his phone and leaned on the steering wheel. His mind seemed to have stopped moving, and his heart was beating rapidly. His eyes were fixed on the enlarged signature on the phone, and for a moment, he had almost forgotten himself.
He was so silly. Fate was clearly on his side. He had bumped into Jiang se multiple times, but he did not notice her. Instead, he kept looking elsewhere.
If he hadn’t gotten drunk at the nine Dragons Hall last night, went down the wrong building, and happened to run into her, giving himself away, with her personality, would she have missed him for the rest of her life?
The nine Dragon Hall’s surveillance cameras could only be kept for a month at most. If she had not misheard him and nie dan and the others had not missed the opportunity to send him back to the PEI family to laugh at him, he might not have had the intention to investigate it.
PEI Yi did not dare to imagine what he would do when he saw ‘Feng Nan’ again and realized that something was wrong with her.
His discomfort gradually turned into hope. He had thought about it carefully. If Jiang se was Feng Nan, should he pursue her? He definitely had to.
However, he could no longer be like before.
Although the words of nie dan and the others were unpleasant to hear, they made sense.
Feng Nan had never treated him as a suitable partner. In her heart, he was a close brother and a friend who had grown up with her. However, she had never considered the relationship aspect.
That was why when she listened to the Feng family’s arrangements and got in touch with Zhao junhan, she was puzzled when she saw her own panic-stricken appearance.
And that was why he was hurt by her gaze and left for France.
PEI Yi would not make the same mistake again.
Even if he recognized her, he could not ask her directly. If he did, things would just go back to how they were in the past.
But now, there were some things that she was clear about, but she couldn’t say it.
She knew these things in her heart, but he didn’t say it. When he pursued her again, she couldn’t be as ignorant as before.
As for ‘Feng Nan’. .. PEI Yi touched his mobile phone with a sly look in his eyes. Since the Feng family had the intention to form a marriage alliance with the Jianghua group, he would let her be.
When she returned to the dormitory last night, it was already very late when she fell asleep. There were no classes on the weekend. When Jiang se woke up, the girls in the dormitory were sleeping soundly while hugging their blankets.
In the afternoon, she had to go to the Grand Theater to rehearse with them. Chang Yuhu was busy today, but he had already arranged everything in advance yesterday.
When PEI Yi called her, she had just finished washing up and was coming out of the bathroom. The moment she saw the number, she instinctively reacted faster than her mind and immediately hung up.
She had known PEI Yi for more than ten years, so there were some things that she did not have to remember deliberately. They were naturally familiar with each other.
His phone number had never changed, so she knew it was him at first glance.
Since PEI Yi had called a stranger like her, it was obvious that the incident last night had been exposed.
She had regretted her decision the moment she returned home last night, especially after realizing that PEI Yi had addressed her as ‘Nannan’ and not ‘grandma’. She regretted even more that she should not have said those words.
She picked up her cell phone and saw the missed call. She thought of the photo she had accidentally seen in PEI Yi’s cell phone last night and the unguarded kiss. She felt a headache coming on.
On the other hand, PEI Yi struggled for a long time before he finally made the call. Just as he was feeling that the waiting time for the call to go through was extremely unbearable, the phone rang once before it was hung up.
He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
This time, when he called again, the phone rang a few times, but no one answered.
In the dormitory, Cao Shuang rubbed her eyes and poked her head out of the mosquito net.
“Sese?”
Her phone had been ringing a few times. The ringtone was clearly not the ringtone of the other girls in the dormitory. Instead, it was the music that came with Jiang SE’s old phone. When they first saw Jiang SE’s phone, they were curious as to why she was using a phone that most elderly people would not buy again. As a result, they had a deep impression of it.
“Did I wake you up?”
Jiang se was in a daze. When she heard Cao Shuang’s reminder, she apologized to her, ”
“I’m sorry.”
She did not know how to face PEI Yi at this point, especially after she discovered the photo saved in his phone.
However, PEI Yi called her again after she hung up. He looked as if he would not give up until she answered the call. She rubbed her head and took a deep breath before answering the call.
As soon as the call went through, PEI Yi was stunned for two seconds before he quickly responded, ”
“Jiang se?”
He held the phone in one hand and the steering wheel in the other. After a long time, he heard her reply, ”
“It’s me.”
For some reason, PEI Yi’s heart trembled when he heard her say those two words.
The uncertainty in his heart disappeared at this moment, and he could not wait to see her immediately.
you should remember me last night in the nine Dragon Hall. I need to talk to you.
Jiang se actually knew that what was supposed to come would come eventually. Before she saw his phone the night before, PEI Yi was just a childhood friend that she had grown up with. He was just like a little brother to her. When he asked her out, she might not have thought of anything else and would have agreed to it.
However, when she saw the photo on his phone and thought of how he kept calling her ‘Nannan’, her previous belief that PEI Yi was good to her was now overturned. She did not know how to face him.
Upon hearing PEI Yi’s invitation, she turned around in her dormitory room.
“I still have something to do in the afternoon.” She refused, ”
“I don’t have the time.”
“What is it?” PEI Yi asked.
Jiang se was indeed busy in the afternoon. Hence, when he asked, she answered, ”
I have to go to the Grand Theater in the afternoon. In order to prove that she was not shirking, she even emphasized, ” “I really don’t have the time.”
“Come downstairs, I’ll send you there.”
When she said that she wanted to go to the Grand Theater, PEI Yi remembered that she was preparing to enter the entertainment industry. Nie dan had once said that she had accepted a new script written by hou Xiling, ” event of Beiping. however, the information he had found did not mention that she had any relationship with the Grand Theater.
When he said that, Jiang se gave it some thought and agreed.
There was no point in dragging things out. Since PEI Yi had found her, he would not forget about this matter just because she had rejected him. He would definitely look for her again in the future.
After she and PEI Yi agreed to wait at the back gate of the North Campus, she hung up the phone, grabbed her bag, and left.
PEI Yi actually wanted to keep listening to her until they met.
However, he knew that he could not rush things. After hanging up the phone, there was a busy tone. He laughed foolishly for a long time before he quickly threw the phone away. He started the car and drove in the direction that the two had agreed to.
When they arrived at the meeting place, Jiang se had yet to come down.
This place wasn’t far from the girls ‘dormitory where she lived, about seven or eight minutes’ distance. He drove very fast and arrived quickly.
