Chapter 397 Retreating to Advance
Wen Yi Che ignored Pei Jin's words and looked directly at Bai Yuan, asking her again whether what Pei Jin said was true.
Pei Jin saw that Bai Yuan was just looking at him but didn't answer, and he straightened himself up a little after being carried away by his composure.
Seeing that Bai Yuan hadn't expressed anything yet, he was not sure what Bai Yuan meant.
But no matter what, Bai Yuan's "white moonlight" is watching.
It’s not so bad that I usually get humiliated by Bai Yuan.
If Bai Yuan were to refuse him again in front of Wen Yiche, he would have to pay back all the bullying he had shown in front of Wen Yiche.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin couldn't help but lose his temper, and his tone changed from negotiating to urging:
"My hotel is not far away, so what's wrong with you giving me a ride first? It won't take you too long, and you can come back to see big brother after you give me a ride! Big brother will definitely not care so much! Right, big brother?"
Listening to Pei Jin calling him "Big Brother" all the time, it sounds so familiar.
Wen Yi Che couldn't help but glance at him.
A hint of displeasure appeared between his brows.
Why is this person's attitude and tone so bad when talking to Bai Yuan?
In the past, whether it was Wen Yiche himself or Qin Lingzheng, when talking to Bai Yuan, they did not speak every word politely and respectfully, but would take their time if possible.
Wen Yiche himself had never had an argument with Bai Yuan, let alone Qin Lingzheng.
Normally, he would just complain and show weakness to Bai Yuan, and he had never spoken to Bai Yuan in such a condescending and self-righteous tone.
Even if she was yelling at Bai Yuan, she would howl at the loudest and say the softest and most cowardly words. After she finished howling, her tears would surely fall down, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Thinking of this, the words that Wu Qi had once advised him rang in his ears again.
"What if I find someone who is not as good as Qin Lingzheng..."
Wen Yiche's eyelids twitched, and the look he gave Pei Jin became more unfriendly.
I am really afraid of what will happen.
Isn't this what Wu Chen said? !
This person is like this in front of me, who knows how he treats Bai Yuan behind her back!
Wen Yiche retracted his disapproving gaze from Pei Jin and looked at Bai Yuan again, "...Xiao Yuan?"
Faced with the simultaneous gazes and questions from both of them, Bai Yuan hesitated for a rare moment.
Logically speaking, the person who first agreed on today's itinerary with him was Wen Yiche, and Pei Jin was just an accident.
What's more, Wen Yiche was already standing in front of him. It would not be good to ask him to wait for him to send Pei Jin back before turning back, or to ask him to go with him to send Pei Jin back.
It's not like she is completely unaware of the atmosphere between the two of them. What if they start fighting in the car again and there's an accident...safety is still the most important thing.
If Bai Yuan followed her previous habits, between Pei Jin and Wen Yi Che, she would definitely give priority to Wen Yi Che, who she was more familiar with.
But the situation is different now. If we were to reject Pei Jin's request directly...
Bai Yuan looked at Pei Jin's bright, clear, and expectant blue eyes.
But he is acting like a spoiled brat!!!
This really makes it difficult for her to make a decision!
Compared to Pei Jin, Wen Yiche, who grew up with him, knows Bai Yuan better.
In addition, in order to show off how familiar he was with Bai Yuan and how much he knew about Bai Yuan's likes and preferences, Qin Lingzheng had invisibly deepened Wen Yiche's understanding of Bai Yuan and enriched his understanding of another side of Bai Yuan.
He may be a little worse than Qin Lingzheng.
But compared to Pei Jin, who had only known Bai Yuan for less than three years, he was simply terrifyingly strong.
At this moment, seeing that Bai Yuan was unusually hesitant to make a decision, Wen Yi Che guessed some of her inner hesitation and considerations.
He had some grudges and prejudices against Pei Jin, but he didn't want to cause more trouble to Bai Yuan because of it.
If Bai Yuan chose him without any hesitation, and Wen Yi Che could convince himself that Bai Yuan actually didn't like Pei Jin at all, then he would definitely not give Pei Jin any good face and would immediately take Bai Yuan away.
But now Bai Yuan hesitated...
Since there is hesitation, it means that you don’t care at all.
Wu Qi's words, telling him not to interfere in Bai Yuan's private affairs, echoed in Wen Yiche's ears again.
He...he really shouldn't make Bai Yuan feel embarrassed or even affect the relationship between her and Pei Jin just for the sake of momentary competitiveness.
Therefore, Wen Yiche struggled for a while before he withdrew from the confrontation with Pei Jin and gave in tactfully:
"It's okay, don't worry about me, you can send him off first." Wen Yiche said in a gentle and considerate voice, "It just so happens that I also have some things to deal with first, so it may be late. Forget about it today, let's make an appointment tomorrow when we are free."
Anyway, as long as Bai Yuan and Pei Jin leave, they will most likely... never come back.
In order to prevent Pei Jin from finding an excuse to keep Bai Yuan and put Bai Yuan in a difficult position.
Moreover, considering how much Bai Yuan cares about him and he is not around, Bai Yuan will most likely not refuse.
In this case, he might as well do a favor and help Bai Yuan out. Maybe he can...
Wen Yiche smiled lightly, with some scattered starlight in his eyes, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you will have to go back in two days. It will probably take longer for us to see each other next time. After all, we have all grown up. We can't be together as often as we were when we were children. We can meet whenever we want."
It’s not that he can’t return home at any time, but he and Bai Yuan each have their own things to do and they can’t always meet up. Either he has something to do, or Bai Yuan is still in school and can’t get away.
They had finally found such an opportunity and met briefly through Bai Yuan's participation in the competition.
The next competition will be three years later. By the time he graduates from college, he will probably start to get busy with the orchestra and performances.
This way, he and Bai Yuan have even fewer opportunities to meet.
Maybe the next time we meet will really be at Bai Yuan and Pei Jin’s engagement party.
Wen Yi Che retreated to advance, seemingly withdrawing voluntarily, but he invisibly won Bai Yuan's favor.
What's more, he spoke with true feelings, with a flavor of "The loquat tree, planted in the year my wife died, has now grown tall and majestic like a canopy."
As expected, Bai Yuan was moved after hearing this and also recalled the past. Even though she did not choose Wen Yiche in the end, she felt sorry for his understanding and help at this time.
"Then I'll send him back first." Bai Yuan said, and promised sincerely, "I'll come to see you in the evening."
The two of them lived next door, so Bai Yuan naturally had to go back to his own home at night.
Because she was only staying in the UK for a few days, Bai Yuan did not hire a nanny to take care of her daily life. She went to Wen Yiche's house for meals every day. There was no need to explain in detail, as Wen Yiche would naturally understand.
Seeing that Bai Yuan had a way out and was going to leave him and go with Pei Jin, Wen Yi Che felt a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.
He walked up to Bai Yuan, raised his hand and rubbed her head twice, and said with the look of a reliable brother, "Go, be careful. Let's make a deal, I'll wait for you to come back in the evening."
Pei Jin didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Bai Yuan finally chose him between him and Wen Yiche, he first breathed a sigh of relief silently. Then, because he won a great victory in the first confrontation, he instantly felt more confident.
He put his arm around Bai Yuan's waist affectionately, and before leaving, he gave Wen Yi Che a provocative look.
What is "white moonlight".
Pei Jin thought proudly.
Nothing more than that.
It seemed that he was worrying too much and was anxious about nothing. Bai Yuan didn't seem to care much about him.
I actually came here specially to investigate the truth, and I had secretly gathered so much information about him before. I really have nothing better to do.
How can I compare myself with such a soft persimmon? He gives in before anything happens. I am not afraid of him at all.
No wonder Bai Yuan didn’t go abroad with him!
Pei Jin has been accustomed to being treated like a star and obeyed since he was a child. It is normal for him to be coaxed, indulged in and praised by others.
Therefore, in the eyes of Young Master Pei, it was natural for Bai Yuan to follow him. He did not think otherwise, nor did he realize that although he had defeated Bai Yuan's men, Bai Yuan missed Wen Yiche even more and felt more apologetic.
Just at this time, Bai Yuan's car also stopped nearby. Wen Yiche watched the two of them get into the car until the car turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
The gentle smile on Wen Yiche's face also faded a little bit, and he returned to his usual cold and arrogant appearance, but this time, the look in his eyes was like indissoluble ink, even deeper and richer.
He looked at the direction the two people left, recalling what had just happened. Finally, Wen Yiche took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, found the WeChat account that had been silent for a long time, and opened the chat box between the two.
His fingers rubbed in front of the input box for a while, and he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He clicked on the input method and wrote:
"Do you know that Bai Yuan has not..."
Wen Yiche paused slightly with his index finger.
I was distracted for a moment when I looked at the "未" that had already been typed and the keyword "婚夫" that came with the input method.
After thinking about it, he finally deleted the last word and retyped:
"Did you know that Bai Yuan has a boyfriend?"
Wen Yiche originally wanted to say something more, but thinking about the relationship between himself and Qin Lingzheng, he was worried that saying too much would backfire and make both of them unhappy.
Moreover, compared with any other remarks, the word "boyfriend" is far less lethal to Qin Lingzheng.
But if he said "fiancé" directly, he was afraid that he might touch some sore spot that he was not aware of, and Qin Lingzheng would be so upset that he would find someone to silence Pei Jin.
According to his understanding, this was not something Qin Lingzheng could not do.
But then again, this matter itself is full of incongruity.
Wen Yiche really couldn't imagine how Qin Lingzheng, who kept watching Bai Yuan all day long, could end up letting Bai Yuan fall into the hands of someone else.
Either Pei Jin was too difficult to deal with, and even Qin Lingzheng had no time to take care of other things, or something went wrong in the middle and Qin Lingzheng didn't know about it yet.
Thinking of this, a rare gloom flashed across Wen Yiche's face.
But no matter what, it only proves Qin Lingzheng's uselessness and failure.
If it were me, I would never -
Wen Yi Che temporarily suppressed his changing thoughts, made up his mind, and pressed the send button.
A bubble with black text on a green background popped up, followed by an extremely eye-catching and glaring red exclamation mark next to the bubble, clearly announcing this cruel reality.
"You are not the other party's friend yet, please add the other party as a friend first"
Wen Yiche: ...
He was blocked by Qin Lingzheng again!!!
On the other side, in the car.
After getting rid of Wen Yi Che, Pei Jin was full of pride and high spirits, he could even be described as excited.
I originally thought it would be a tough battle, but in the end it was a safe battle. I didn't see Bai Yuan have any special feelings towards Wen Yiche. I guess he was just a good friend at best.
On the contrary, I am the one who sees enemies everywhere. I feel so cheap that I am suddenly inferior to others.
However, it is not all in vain. With the lessons learned from the past, next time when encountering the same thing, I will not be so inexperienced and make the same mistake again.
Pei Jin thought about it and recalled the look Wen Yiche gave Bai Yuan when he last looked at her. He felt as if something was wrong, as if there was something wrong, as if everything was weird, especially...
"Bai Yuan!" Pei Jin took advantage of the situation and acted cute. He turned his head to look at Bai Yuan who was sitting next to him, nodded and asked, "Aren't you here for the competition? How come it's such a coincidence that you can run into Big Brother here?"
He deliberately emphasized the title "Big Brother" to express his dissatisfaction.
Bai Yuan didn't care about him. She already felt bad because Wen Yiche was considerate and took the initiative to give in. Pei Jin not only didn't know when to stop, but also bumped into her.
Bai Yuan raised his eyes to look at Pei Jin, not giving him face, looking at him as if he could see through all his hidden secrets, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Are you pretending again?"
Pei Jin: …
"What are you pretending for?" Pei Jin's heart tightened, his eyes wandered for a moment, his momentum weakened, and he stammered, "What are you saying? Why can't I understand?"
Facing Pei Jin's pretentiousness, Bai Yuan smiled and said slowly:
"Hasn't it been clearly checked? Why are you still asking me?"
"How do you know--how do you know to say that?"
Pei Jin blurted out the words at first, then quickly realized that Bai Yuan had used this trick once, so he quickly changed his tone.
Although the truth has been revealed and may not be hidden, given Young Master Pei's unyielding character, he will still have to struggle a little.
Bai Yuan: "Do you know who gave you the photo?"
Pei Jin: !!!
Bai Yuan: "Xi Lan."
Bai Yuan looked at Pei Jin with a confused expression. He was obviously unfamiliar with the name. He also found it funny that this young master was oblivious to what was happening outside and only cared about digging holes without burying them.
Bai Yuan: "She is my junior and the next student union president after me..."
There are also CP fans who, after starting off as childhood sweethearts with Qin Lingzheng, switched to the partner group.
"She is also a classmate of your friend's cousin's classmate's cousin."
Bai Yuan fluently spoke of such a complex series of relationships, and even Pei Jin himself might not understand so much.
"The photos in your hand were all given by her. Do you think I know this?"
