Chapter 69: Peri's Worries

  Hearing the voice of Cong Ye coming from the phone, Bai Wei, who was holding the phone, suddenly fell silent. At this moment, Bai Wei's childish temper had not yet subsided, and she deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Cong Ye on the other end of the phone.

  Actually, Congye had just finished unblocking the meridians for Shou Zhang and returned to his residence when he saw that a certain number had called him over a dozen times on his phone. Just as he was about to call back, the phone rang again. Judging from the city where the incoming call was located, Congye guessed it should be Baiwei calling, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Last time at Guanhai, Baiwei had called Yan Qingcheng's phone, promising to tell her as soon as she got the number, but in the hustle and bustle, he had forgotten.

  "Hello, I am Cong Ye."

  He said it twice, but there was still no response from the other side. Cong Ye also guessed that Bai Wei might be sulking with herself, so she changed her tone and said:

  "I have something else to attend to, I'll call you back later."

  "No hanging allowed."

  "Xiao Wei, I knew it was you."

  "Knowing it's me, why didn't you answer the phone for half a day?"

  "When I was giving the leader a massage, I didn't have my phone with me. My phone has been in the room all along, and I just got back."

  "There are always so many reasons. Now that we have phones, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

  "This is my fault. I was thinking about it when I came to Beijing, but these past few days have been too busy and I forgot. Please forgive me, Little Wei."

  Perry was amused by Cong Ye. Perry knew that she had met Brother Cong Ye so many times, but had never seen Brother Cong Ye joke around.

  "Alright, I forgive you. By the way, Brother Cong Ye, now that you're in Beijing, don't forget to visit my grandparents."

  "Oh, if it weren't for Xiaowei bringing it up, I would have really forgotten. Otherwise, can you send me Grandpa and Grandma's phone number? I'll make a call to them when I'm free?"

  "This is about right. Alright, I should go eat now, or else the cafeteria won't have anything left to eat later. Remember to call me often."

  Bai Wei had just hung up the phone when Ye Wenwen approached her.

  "Little Weiwei, who is Brother Congye and why are you calling him so intimately?"

  "Mind your own business! Starve to death!"

  "Xiao Wei, why don't we make a deal? You already have Cong Ye Gege, how about letting me have that Yang Yi Gege instead?"

  Ye Wenwen's tone was pitiful, and the expression on her face was also very much in place, with a strong sense of pleading. The five girls burst out laughing at the same time, but Ye Wenwen still maintained the same expression as before, her eyes fixed unwaveringly on Bai Wei who was still sitting on the bed.

  Until she was laughed by Yvonne to the point of stomachache, Bevi pulled Yvonne over and scratched her itchy skin twice, only then did she feel relieved.

  Bai Wei didn't take the initiative to call Yang Yi, and Yang Yi also stopped sending flowers, so they were stuck in this state for a week. On Monday evening, before the night self-study session, Bai Wei suddenly received a call from Zhi Xiao Hui.

  "Xiao Hui, is there something wrong since you're calling at this time?"

  "It's nothing, I've been busy with my graduation thesis for a long time, and it's been a while since we last met. Tonight, I was wandering around the campus and suddenly thought of you, so I gave you a call to see what you're up to."

  "I'm in the classroom, I also need to head back to the dormitory. Where are you now? I'll go down and find you."

  "Come down, I'm under the teaching building."

  Bai Wei walked down the stairs and saw Zhi Xiao Hui standing at the entrance of the corridor waiting for her. She walked over and asked:

  "How's Xiaohui's graduation thesis preparation going?"

  "It's almost done, just waiting for the defense in early April."

  "Xiao Hui is so lucky, she's about to graduate and be free soon, but I still have more than three years of school left."

  "What's there to envy? On the contrary, Xiaowei has recently become a school celebrity."

  "Did Little Hui also hear about it?"

  Bai Wei felt a bit embarrassed and lowered her head.

  "Ha, I'm afraid even the old man guarding the gate knows about it."

  Looking at Perwie who was lowering her head, Chih Xiao Hui casually asked:

  "What do you think of Yang Yi?"

  "Little Hui, do you know Yang Yi?"

  "It's not just acquaintances, we've also worked together in the student union for nearly two years. Does Xiaowei know that Yang Yi is also a graduate of this school now?"

  "Yes, someone told me on the second day. No, why did Xiaohui suddenly mention Yang Yi?"

  Bai Wei looked at Zhi Xiao Hui with confusion.

  "I just had dinner with Yang Yi and came back."

  "Really? Then you're looking for me also related to Yang Yi?"

  "You're so clever, you guessed it right off."

  Zhi Xiao Hui didn't hide anything from Bai Wei either. She told her about Yang Yi asking her out and what he said to her.

  "Haha, this guy is really funny."

  "Xiao Wei, what does this mean?"

  "It's quite amusing, you see, first he mysteriously sent a month's worth of flowers, then suddenly showed up, gave me a phone number and waited for me to make the call. So, Little Hui, do you still believe that the first month's flowers were personally delivered by him?"

  Zhi Xiaohui couldn't help but admire Baiwei's cleverness. Just now, after parting ways with Yang Yi, she had also suspected this matter. With Yang Yi's identity and usual style, it was absolutely impossible for him to do something like secretly sending flowers every day. It must be that he hired someone to do it for a fee.

  "Xiao Wei, how did your little brain grow? How are you so clever?"

  "Little Hui, it's not that I'm clever, but some people are too good at playing tricks."

  "Got it, tonight sister is going to eat Yang Yi's food for free."

  "Xiao Hui should have called me up too, I haven't had a decent seafood meal in ages."

  "Really? Okay, I'll call Yang Yi right away."

  While talking, she also wanted to snatch her mobile phone from Bai Wei's hand.

  "Xiao Hui Jie, use your own fist."

  Bai Wei also knew it was Zhi Xiao Hui who was joking with her.

  "Alright, I won't make a fuss about it anymore. Later on, Yang Yi will definitely ask me again, how should I answer him?"

  "Hmm, you said it, I don't like to be in contact with strangers, even more so going outside the campus with them."

  "This reason, tsk tsk."

  "Xiao Hui, what's going on with this reason?"

  "It's estimated that Yang Yi will be even more fascinated with you."

  "Haha, that's his business, what does it have to do with me?"

  Bai Wei thought it was just another joke from Zhi Xiao Hui and didn't take it seriously. In fact, Zhi Xiao Hui's words were not a joke at all. Since Yang Yi said he liked Bai Wei, she had been guessing that Yang Yi might prefer girls who are a bit more innocent or even shy. If Bai Wei really told Yang Yi what Zhi Xiao Hui said, Yang Yi might indeed become even more infatuated with Bai Wei.

  "Xiao Wei, you mean you had never seen Yang Yi before?"

  Yes.

  "When did he take a liking to you? He's not even in school."

  "It's a problem, I'm not clear either."

  Heizi and Xiaohui walked back to the dormitory building together before parting ways and returning to their respective rooms.

  Baiwei came to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes for a moment. She thought that what she said about Yang Yi being clever earlier might not be quite appropriate. It's not uncommon for people to ask others to send flowers, especially someone like Yang Yi.

  Baiwei still quite likes the temperament on Yang Yi's body, especially that slightly magnetic voice. After thinking about Yang Yi for a while, she thought of Congye again. Every time Baiwei thinks of Congye, she remembers the embarrassment of Congye helping her with her meridians. Blushing, she picked up the phone and dialed Congye's number without hesitation.

  Xiao Wei?

  "Brother Congye, didn't I disturb your rest?"

  "Of course not, it's still early. Even if you didn't call me, I was thinking of calling you tomorrow afternoon anyway."

  "Brother Congye, is there something?"

  "Yes. I called Grandpa and Grandma, they said they would come to the nursing home to see me tomorrow, no matter how hard I tried to stop them. Otherwise, ask Xiaowei for help and call Grandpa and Grandma to explain?"

  Congye has always called her grandparents the same way as herself, and Baiwei's heart is still quite pleased. Unbeknownst to her, Congye was having some difficulty. It wasn't right to say "your grandfather and grandmother", nor was it right to say "Bai grandfather and grandmother", so Congye could only awkwardly follow Baiwei's lead in calling them that way.

  "Grandpa and grandma are retired at home anyway, they don't have anything to do, just let them go, it's just a walk. Besides, how can I persuade them?"

  "Just say you'll visit Grandpa and Grandma at home over the weekend after you're busy for these few days."

  "Can't Brother Congye speak for himself?"

  "I said so, but Grandpa and Grandma wouldn't listen."

  "They didn't listen even more when I spoke."

  "No, Xiaowei, how can I let two elderly people come see me first?"

  "What's wrong with that? Brother Congye, maybe Grandpa and Grandma went to the nursing home not just to see you, there should also be people they know there."

  "Can you?"

  "Of course, grandpa also transferred from the army to a local place."

  "Well, it's better this way."

  "How is Congye brother doing there?"

  "Not bad."

  "Do you want to watch the sea? Do you miss Jing Cheng's sister?"

  Congye didn't expect Beibei to ask such a question and was momentarily at a loss for an answer.

  "Haha, I was right, wasn't I? I thought so, Congye Gege must be thinking about it even more. Alright, Congye Gege, I won't say any more to you, just leave some time for you to think about Jing Cheng Jie."

  After hanging up the phone, Ba Wei pouted for a long time. From the phone call, Ba Wei felt that Cong Ye Ge Ge must have had feelings for Jing Cheng Jie, but Cong Ye Ge Ge had never expressed his own thoughts.

  With a loud "bang", the dormitory door was pushed open with great force, and then came Ye Wenwen's loud shouting voice:

  "Xiao Weiwei, are you hiding here thinking about spring again?"

  Bai Wei was annoyed by Ye Wenwen every day, and she really had no way to deal with her. Ignoring Ye Wenwen, Bai Wei turned over, facing inward, continuing to think about her own thoughts. She still hadn't realized that, unknowingly, the shadow of Cong Ye had already occupied a very important position in her heart.
