411 Dr. Wang had a Crush On…
Su Ji put the four-layered lunchbox back together. Before she left, she asked Pei Huai, “do you know where I can buy a high-spec microscope?”
“High-spec microscope?”
Su Ji nodded. “I saw one at Dr. Wang’s room yesterday.” Afraid that she did not know who Dr. Wang was, she added, “it’s Dr. Wang Yi, your neighbor. He’s also on the show.”
Of course Pei Huai knew him. “I’ll help you with that.”
!!
“Thanks…” Su Ji felt that although the treasures in her tombstone were priceless, Pei Huai’s gift for her birthday this year showed his sincerity. There was no need for him to buy this too. “I’ll pay you back.”
Pei Huai scoffed lightly. “Do you like making me upset?”
Su Ji didn’t say anything else. She stopped at the door and thought of something else. “Dr. Wang Yi said he would tell me about your childhood. I’m quite interested.”
Pei Huai’s hand that was holding his phone paused. “There is nothing interesting about my childhood. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
Su Ji smiled, “I don’t believe you.”
Pei Huai: “…”
After Su Ji, Pei Huai swiped his phone and sent a WeChat message to his neighbor.
[ “Send me the model of the microscope you’re using.” ]
He replied quite quickly.
[ Wang Yi: “Who are you?” ]
Pei Huai’s gaze fell on his flashy WeChat name. This seemed to be the first time he contacted Wang Yi after changing his name.
He couldn’t be bothered to explain and called him directly.
Wang Yi picked up the phone and said in a calm and familiar tone, “you’re the person on WeChat? Alright, I’ll add you back again. I just deleted it.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end. He probably went back to WeChat to add Pei Huai as a friend. After a while, he came back. “Accept it and I’ll send you the microscope model. ”
“…”
Pei Huai asked him, “what are you going to tell Su Ji? ”
Wang Yi laughed. “Don’t worry, you have nothing to hide. As your neighbor, I can’t make things up. At most, I’ll talk about how you self-taught mathematics when you were one year old and added two more zeros to Old Master Pei’s contract…”
Pei Huai narrowed his eyes. “Do you have nothing to do at the research institute? Or is it because you’re too lonely and have no friends?”
Wang Yi smiled. “Don’t be so serious. Your girlfriend won’t laugh at you. She might even think that you were very cute.”
Pei Huai leaned back in his chair and smiled, “that’s true. If there’s a chance, I’ll tell her about your childhood crush…”
“Pei Huai,” Wang Yi sounded serious for a moment.
Wang Yi didn’t want him to continue.
“Who did you tell about this?” Wang Yi asked coldly.
Pei Huai replied, “I’m not as free as you.”
Wang Yi seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He had never told anyone about this and had always kept it hidden in his heart. However, Pei Huai was an acute child.
Pei Huai finally had something on him.
“Do you still want the microscope model?” Wang Yi changed the topic.
“Send it to me.” Pei Huai hung up.
**
Under Du Meilan’s assistant’s guidance, Su Ji took the elevator down to the first floor.
The assistant respectfully brought her to the place and left tactfully.
When Su Ji knocked on the office door, Du Meilan had just returned.
When she saw her, she smiled and brought her to the sofa.
She sat on the same side as Su Ji. “The last time you came, I was out to discuss business, so we didn’t bump into each other.”
Su Ji replied, “I came while we were filming last time, so I couldn’t speak freely either.”
She opened the lunchbox and said, “my mother made all these. Try them. ”
Du Meilan looked at the delicacies in surprise. “You delivered them at the right time. I haven’t had lunch yet. ”
However, looking at the seemingly reasonable empty spots in each dish, she smiled knowingly, “during this period of time, I realized that Pei Huai rarely eats on time. I can’t get him to eat, you do it.”
Su Yi knew that she had noticed. She touched the tip of her nose guiltily and said, “usually, he’s the one who takes care of my meals…”
“The audacity…”
Su Ji shrugged and smiled. She helped Du Meilan unwrap the disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.
Du Meilan gave people the impression that she was a very picky person, but she had a thing for the home-cooked dishes made by Xu Mingzhi.
She first ate a whole piece of steamed pork with vermicelli and savored it carefully. “It’s soft and crispy. Your mother’s cooking is really good, unlike me. Huaihuai and the others have never eaten my cooking. I’m really not a good mother. ”
Su Ji knew that she liked her mother’s cooking because it was blessed by the taste of happiness in her memory. However, objectively speaking, it could not compare to the chef’s private dishes that they usually ate. Du Meilan was a very polite woman due to her upbringing.
“Every woman has her own way of being a mother. Your three children love you very much. That proves it.”
Du Meilan looked at Su Ji. She liked to talk to Su Ji. This girl was bright.
Normally, a mother-in-law would not like a daughter-in-law who was too smart, but she liked her because her youngest son was too smart.
“How are you enjoying filming the show? Your mother talks about you every time we meet. Aunt Wen Man and I can tell that she wished she could be with you 24/7. She’s always worried that you’ll suffer if you live with so many people.” Du Meilan tasted every dish and pointed at the tissue box beside Su Ji.
Su Ji handed the tissue box to Du Meilan. “I’m quite used to it now. Tell my mother if there’s anyone suffering, it wouldn’t be me.”
Du Meilan took out a tissue paper and gently touched the corner of her lips. Her action was elegant and calm. When she heard Su Ji’s words, she smiled. “We’re so smart, of course we won’t be at a disadvantage. But I’d be worried too if I had a daughter.”
...
Su Ji smiled in response.
Regarding the show, she felt that it was better not to talk too much about it. She wanted to end this topic with silence.
After all, she knew about Ji Xi’s relationship with the Pei family.
However, she also understood Du Meilan’s character. Sure enough, the next second, Du Meilan asked, “you should already know about the woman, right?
Not only did Du Meilan not avoid talking about Ji Xi, she even knew that Su Ji knew…
