Chapter 521
Pei Yanzhou sat next to her and handed over a paper cup of milk tea.
Cheng Xi didn't take his eyes away from the book, took it with his hand, and took a sip. It was hot ginger and red date milk tea, which tasted quite delicious.
She looked at the man next to her who was drinking coffee from a cup, "Aren't you bored while I read a book?"
"Don't I know how to read?" Pei Yanzhou smiled.
Cheng Xi turned his attention back to the book, and not long after, the man's mellow voice sounded in his ears again, "Open your mouth."
She was seeing something wonderful and opened her eyes without thinking.
A mouthful of ice cream was stuffed into her mouth. The matcha flavor was particularly delicious.
Cheng Xi looked at him with wide eyes. Pei Yanzhou was holding an exquisite goblet with three flavors of round ice cream in it.
"Is it delicious?" he asked.
Cheng Xi nodded honestly, "Is there just one cup?"
"You can't eat too much in winter, especially girls." Pei Yanzhou fed her another spoonful.
Cheng Xi hesitated, "I'll eat it myself."
"Don't drop the ice cream on the book. This book is very expensive and out of print." Pei Yanzhou glanced at the book on her lap, "Of course, if you don't eat it, I'll put it down."
"..."
Listen, is this what a suitor should say?
Cheng Xi didn't want to eat it, but the taste of delicious ice cream in winter was so refreshing that it was not satisfying at all.
"Come, you read, and I'll feed you without delay." Pei Yanzhou smiled and fed him again.
Cheng Xi finally followed him, his eyes dark.
After eating half a cup, Pei Yanzhou stopped feeding him and ate the rest by himself.
Cheng Xi stared at him with unfinished thoughts.
"Be good, your stomach will hurt if you eat too much." Pei Yanzhou stood up and returned the cup.
Cheng Xi had no choice but to continue drinking ginger and red date milk tea. It was warm and quite comfortable.
Seeing eight o'clock in the evening, Pei Yanzhou reminded, "It's time for us to leave."
"Is it going to close?"
"No, we have other things to do..."
Cheng Xi frowned unconsciously, she hadn't finished reading yet.
"You can buy it and take it back." Pei Yanzhou took the book in her hand.
The book was a bit expensive, but Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.
However, when checking out, Pei Yanzhou directly showed his membership card, "I am a diamond member here and can enjoy 30% off."
"Then I'll transfer the money to you later." Cheng Xi didn't want to take anything from him casually.
"I won't want it." Pei Yanzhou took the book and walked out.
"Pei Yanzhou, if you act like this, I won't dare come out with you next time." Cheng Xi complained.
"Cheng Xi, please don't be so naive, okay? I am your suitor now. If a man likes a woman, is it possible that he would be reluctant to spend a penny on you?" Pei Yanzhou looked serious, "A book costs more than a hundred yuan. There are so many female students in Soochow University. Men have to spend money to pursue them. They give women necklaces, bags, and food. It can easily cost thousands or even hundreds of thousands. You can pursue them without giving anything. For a woman, others will only say that this woman is stupid and easy to fool."
Cheng Xi was so retorted by him that he could not refute.
She also knew some things, like her dormitory classmates, when boys chased them, they would either send flowers or food, or occasionally come up with some romantic ideas, which would cost money.
"Take it, I, Pei Yanzhou, am not that bad. Even if you reject me, I won't get this thing back."
