Chapter 349 Puppy Brain
"Master, be careful!"
Fortunately, the servant was quick-witted and quickly raised the tray with dessert in his hand before Pei Jin bumped into him.
This is why Pei Jin didn't knock him and the plate over.
After the two men stabilized themselves one after another, the servant breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Pei Jin was so confused now that he had no time to care about other things and just said it perfunctorily.
When his eyes fell on the plate in the servant's hand, he stopped and asked:
"For Bai Yuan?"
"Yes." The servant nodded in response.
"Give it to me, I'll bring it to her." Pei Jin said as he took the plate from the servant.
As he moved, Pei Jin smelled the tempting sweet aroma of dairy products, then he looked down at the various desserts on the plate and suddenly felt a surge of hunger.
Pei Jin frowned slightly and asked, "My mother hasn't come back yet?"
The servant answered truthfully, "My wife just called and said that she had ended the meeting early and started to rush back. She will be here in half an hour at most."
Of course, the prerequisite is that the journey is smooth and you are not stuck in traffic during the evening rush hour.
These days, apart from flying things in the sky, the only thing that is crowded with people but not with traffic is the subway.
Drive on the road during the morning and evening rush hours.
Even if you are the chairman of a wealthy family with a net worth of over 100 million, you still have to stay stuck in traffic.
Pei Jin's expression improved slightly when he heard that his mother had started to rush back.
"Okay, I get it."
Having said that, he casually sent the servant away.
After the other party left, I was the only one left in the corridor filled with various collections.
Pei Jin waited outside the door for a while with the plate in his hand.
He had just come out to take a breath because the atmosphere in the room was not right.
It's not good to go back so soon.
Therefore, Pei Jin had to linger outside the door for a few more minutes.
When the time was almost right, he pretended to have just come up from downstairs.
He opened the door and walked in again.
In the room, Bai Yuan was just the same as before he left.
Sitting elegantly on the sofa.
From top to bottom, it is so exquisite and perfect that even the hair is flawless.
The only difference was that Bai Yuan was holding a mobile phone at this time with a faint smile on his lips, and it was unknown what he was looking at.
Pei Jin suppressed his slightly shaking mind, walked over steadily, placed the dessert plate on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of Bai Yuan.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I took some of everything." He said, "You eat first. My mother has already left. I think she will be home soon."
"Thank you." After Bai Yuan thanked politely, he picked up a small piece of cake and took a bite.
In order to make the dessert easier to eat, it is cut into one-inch pieces in advance.
Pei Jin watched Bai Yuan finish a whole piece of cake with pleasing movements, and asked:
"Is it tasty?"
"It's not sweet, but quite delicious." Bai Yuan replied.
Not sweet is the highest praise for domestic desserts.
Since Pei's mother will be back soon.
Considering the main meal later.
Bai Yuan also felt it would be inappropriate to eat dessert now as she would be too full.
So he just ate two or three pieces for the sake of politeness and put them aside.
Pei Jin saw that she was eating well, and suddenly stopped and asked in confusion:
"Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not to your taste?"
"No." Bai Yuan saw Pei Jin always staring at him.
I thought he wanted to eat too.
He pushed the dessert plate in front of him towards him.
“Don’t eat too much at night.”
Hearing this, Pei Jin recalled that when he was abroad, some girls would shorten their dinner portions for the sake of image management and only eat salad products such as vegetables and fruits.
Desserts, which are high in calories, are indeed not suitable for consumption during this period of time.
He picked up the plate in front of him without any hesitation and cleaned up the remaining four or five small cakes.
The stomach of a teenager of this age is like a bottomless pit.
No matter what or how much you eat, you never feel full.
Bai Yuan had an in-flight meal on the plane at noon, so he didn’t feel hungry at all.
As for Pei Jin, he hasn't eaten anything since he left the airport to pick her up.
I didn’t feel very hungry when I didn’t eat.
At this moment, I smelled the aroma of food and ate a few more bites of cake.
Instead, it whetted his appetite.
After eating all the remaining cake.
Pei Jin smacked his lips with a feeling of unfulfilled desire and sighed:
"When I'm abroad, I want to eat something from home. Their desserts are like free. They're so delicious."
Different races have different tolerance to sweetness.
Bai Yuan originally thought that mixed-race people like Pei Jin would generally have a higher acceptance of sweetness than Chinese people.
Unexpectedly, he couldn't stand foreign tastes either.
Thinking about the most common staple food in the country where he studied, Bai Yuan asked curiously:
"What do you eat when you're abroad? Potatoes?"
Speaking of "potatoes", Pei Jin's expression is a little hard to describe.
"Breakfast is buttered bread, sausage and potato cakes, lunch is cheese bread, sausage and mashed potatoes, and dinner is toast, sausage and potato... French fries."
Recalling his unhappy study abroad experience, Pei Jin was filled with emotion, "Once, the school finally introduced a Chinese dumpling dish, but it turned out to be filled with fried potatoes filled with butter..."
Pei Jin expressed his true feelings, speaking from the bottom of his heart with sincerity.
Bai Yuan could even imagine from his tone the other person's surprise when he saw the delicious food from his hometown in a cafeteria in a foreign country.
The excitement and anticipation before eating the dumplings.
And the look of doubt on your face after taking your first bite and finding it filled with butter fried potatoes.
Maybe his sparkling blue eyes would fade and look a little dull.
This is also the true portrayal of most Chinese students studying abroad.
Speaking of food abroad, Bai Yuan remembered Wen Yiche's younger brother Wen Yixuan, who was raised abroad since childhood. He was also full of resentment about the dry meals three times a day in foreign countries. Whenever he mentioned it, he looked disgusted.
Then I thought of the school where Wen Yiche went to study abroad, which was the UK, which is known as the "food desert".
The dry bread was not as good as Pei Jin's three potato meals a day.
I don’t know if the other person eats strange food when he is abroad.
This is different from Qin Lingzheng, who was locked up in a military academy, had his cell phone and all electronic devices confiscated, and could only accept information from the outside world in a closed manner.
Even though Wen Yiche went abroad, he still kept in regular contact with Bai Yuan several times a month.
Although two people with the same cold personalities have nothing to say to each other when they get together, they often hang up after chatting for a few minutes.
Bai Yuan and Wen Yi Che both have similar cold personalities.
Even when we got together to practice the piano in the past, we would chat about things other than music.
Because the two of them always hung up after chatting for a few minutes.
Bai Yuan could feel that the other party would deliberately find topics that would never be discussed under normal circumstances.
In addition to occasionally reporting on learning progress, the other party will also talk about things happening around him and take some photos.
Sometimes they are simply candid photos of campus scenery.
Sometimes there are photos of Wen Yiche himself wearing a white British-style school uniform.
The boy, whom I haven't seen for a few months, has grown taller, and his eyebrows and facial features are more mature than when I said goodbye to him at the airport.
Every photo he sent made him look more adult than the last.
In the photo, Wen Yiche's lips were slightly raised and he looked at the camera with a smile in his eyes.
The cold aura around him was somewhat diluted by this gentle smile.
Bai Yuan was thinking so.
The cell phone she had placed aside suddenly rang twice again.
The dark screen lit up in response.
In the message reminder column, it clearly showed that Wen Yi Che had sent new photos and texts.
Pei Jin sat closer to Bai Yuan.
When the phone lights up, you don't need to pay much attention to it, you can just scan the screen with the corner of your eye.
Although the text of the message reminder was a little small, Pei Jin did not see it clearly and had no intention of seeing who sent what message to Bai Yuan.
But the desktop background on the screen can be seen in the most intuitive way.
The mobile phone screen used by Bai Yuan is the desktop background that comes with the phone’s initial settings.
There is a serious lack of personalization that is common among girls of this age.
But it unexpectedly fits the other person's consistent personal image and temperament.
It gives people a sense of self-evidentness that 'it is what I expected' and 'it should be this way'.
However, Pei Jin paused for two seconds after seeing it.
He looked like he was obviously choking and wanted to say something but couldn't.
Bai Yuan was busy checking messages on her phone and had no time to give him any extra attention.
Pei Jin waited patiently until Bai Yuan finished sending his reply before he could not help but ask:
“You didn’t use my photo?”
Hearing this, Bai Yuan looked up at him with a little confusion.
“This is my phone.”
The implication is, why would she set someone else's photo on her phone screen?
Meeting Bai Yuan's gaze, Pei Jin realized that what he said was too narcissistic.
Then he explained stiffly and unnaturally:
"Didn't you ask for my photo last time?"
Although he and Bai Yuan are not dating.
But being a reserve of a potential marriage partner isn't that far from being in a relationship.
Normal young couples will use photos of themselves or each other as their mobile phone desktop and screensaver.
He thought that since he sent Bai Yuan a carefully selected selfie, the other party would definitely use it.
"That's for my family to see." Bai Yuan explained.
Pei Jin was still agonizing over the photo. When he heard Bai Yuan say that, he was shocked. Then he felt a little embarrassed: "You mentioned me to my family."
Pei Jin didn't know whether Bai Yuan was talking to his family about the marriage between the Bai and Pei families, or about the specific agreements and arrangements between the two of them.
It's just a bit unexpected.
His situation is different from Bai Yuan's family.
Pei was used to being controlled by his own mother, and things got a little awkward when they were fighting for power.
Over the years, he has had little contact with his relatives except during the holidays.
The marriage with Bai Yuan was originally initiated by Pei's mother, so there was no need for Pei Jin to tell her anything.
Therefore, Pei Jin naturally applied his family's behavioral logic to Bai Yuan.
Now that Bai Yuan mentioned it, Pei Jin finally remembered it.
Bai Yuan belongs to the most normal family with both parents, living elderly people, and all brothers and sisters.
In addition to informing Bai Yuan's parents in Haiqi about their future marriage, they also had to inform their relatives in Beijing.
Maybe Bai Yuan will announce this matter in her circle of friends.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin felt a little uneasy again.
My heart was beating fast, and I asked anxiously:
"What did they say?" Pei Jin added, "Do they agree with what we are doing?"
Pei Jin had already thought about all of Bai Yuan's aunts and uncles at this moment.
Imagine that during the other party's Chinese New Year, all the relatives gathered together to discuss and make suggestions about Bai Yuan's future marriage.
He completely forgot that Bai Yuan had only asked him for photos after the New Year.
It was not until this time that Pei Jin truly felt the reality of the engagement.
Pei Jin had a lot of ideas in his mind, and Bai Yuan couldn't knock open his head to find out all his thoughts.
Bai Yuan did not think much about it, and just thought about the cause and process of asking for the photo, and attributed the "they" that Pei Jin was referring to to Bai Ou and Bai Falcon.
So, I answered truthfully: "They don't care, they just told us to give it a try first."
Telling the truth does not mean telling the whole truth.
It was impossible for Bai Yuan to say the second half of Bai Ou's sentence, "Try more and be brave to try."
It's fine to say this in private, but it would be inappropriate and disrespectful to say it in front of Pei Jin.
Pei Jin knew from the context and Bai Yuan's wording that she did not reveal their private agreement.
But come to think of it, this kind of thing really can't be told to everyone in a big way.
The more people who know, the better.
It would be best if only they two knew about it.
But in this way, the preconditions are omitted.
In the eyes of Bai Yuan's family, it seemed that he and Bai Yuan were really in a relationship with the ultimate goal of marriage.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin felt his face getting hot for no reason.
But I soon figured out another thing.
Since in everyone's eyes, he and Bai Yuan are having a normal relationship.
Then wait until the two of them get what they want, achieve what they want, and successfully complete their agreement to break up peacefully.
How would others see the relationship between me and Bai Yuan?
Is it a peaceful breakup, or one party abandoning the other?
If it is the former, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to inquire about the inside story, and some will even try to help them mend their relationship and get back together.
Whether it's separation or reunion, it seems to be so true.
If it is the latter, no matter whether I abandon Bai Yuan or Bai Yuan abandons me, Bai Yuan will definitely be the one who is most affected.
Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan who was sitting in front of him.
After six months of contact, he has already gained a preliminary understanding of Bai Yuan.
Pay special attention to politeness and appearance in daily life.
Always maintain an elegant and intellectual attitude.
I have mild mysophobia, the severity depends on the situation.
Although he seems gentle and polite, he is also willing to help others.
But in interpersonal communication, there always seems to be a sense of distance, making it difficult for people to get into her heart.
Be honest and trustworthy, abide by your promises, and do what you promised.
Of course, if I can't do it, I won't agree to it easily.
He occasionally tells a few jokes and takes some things a little too seriously.
These cannot be regarded as disadvantages, but should be regarded as advantages.
It seems that whether as a friend or a marriage partner, she is indeed perfect.
To be fair, if we ignore the initial resistance to family marriage.
When he first met Bai Yuan, they got to know each other as ordinary friends.
Pei Jin thought.
Perhaps it is really difficult for me not to be attracted by this trait in the other person, and thus in the future interactions, I will take a step that crosses the line towards Bai Yuan.
