Chapter 324: Chapter 324

Peng Hui reached out and pinched Zhao Meimei’s face, grumbling unhappily, "Zhao Meimei, you’re really annoying, why do you have to be so pretty for no reason!"

Zhao Meimei found it amusing, and she laughed, "Wait, are you trying to insult me or compliment me?"

Peng Hui let go and squeezed next to Zhao Meimei on the chair, "Dong Wenjie said he likes you, and he’s planning to pursue you now."

Zhao Meimei dismissed it and turned to look at her, "What about you? What are you planning to do?"

Peng Hui said, "He keeps chasing his, I chase mine. Anyway, you have your brother, I’m not worried you’ll suddenly turn back and fight me for him."

Zhao Meimei playfully hit her, "You’re the one who’s turning back! I’ve never even thought about it!"

Peng Hui grabbed Zhao Meimei’s arm, complaining, "How could I not know? I just hit the wall twice with him, I’m not feeling great, and I’m venting to you."

Zhao Meimei’s eyes lit up at this, "Hit the wall twice? What did you do?"

Peng Hui was filled with grievances, and now that someone was listening, she quickly poured them out. After hearing, Zhao Meimei laughed uncontrollably and patted Peng Hui, "Oh my, Peng Hui, did you use all the tricks people used to chase you on Dong Wenjie?"

Peng Hui glared, "I’ve never chased anyone, I just watch people chasing me. So tell me, how can I not treat him like a girl and flirt with him?"

Zhao Meimei casually replied, "Actually, you could try to be more straightforward, like using a beauty trick, isn’t it said that when a girl chases a guy, it’s only separated by a layer of veil? Just tear that veil right off."

Peng Hui mulled over her words, suddenly looking at Zhao Meimei, "The problem is, he’s always running towards you, the tall mountain. I’m chasing after him from behind, I can’t catch up, how can I tear the veil in front of him!"

Zhao Meimei laughed at her description and put an arm around Peng Hui’s shoulder, "Actually, I think the way you’re pursuing him now is good. People’s hearts are flesh, getting familiar with someone can become a habit. You’re treating him so well now, don’t you believe one day if you stop paying attention to him, he’d feel uncomfortable and not adapt?"

Peng Hui contemplated silently.

Zhao Meimei said, "And don’t you find it’s easier for you to pursue him than for him to chase me? I’m absolutely not giving him any chance. So in this aspect, you actually have more advantage than he does."

Peng Hui hugged Zhao Meimei tightly, "Meimei, you’re awesome!"

"Then help me think, how should I chase him?"

They both fell silent for a while before Zhao Meimei spoke up, "I’ve never chased anyone either, but if you want to pursue someone, you should at least understand them first, right? Do you know him?"

Peng Hui shook her head, "Just know that he’s in the sophomore year of the math department."

Zhao Meimei thought for a moment and suggested, "I think you should first find someone to inquire about him, whether it’s his family background, living habits, or personality interests. In short, you need to understand him thoroughly. Only then can you cater to him and make him like you."

Peng Hui nodded, "You’re right, but the final exams are coming up, and I don’t have much time to do that!"

At the mention of exams, Zhao Meimei immediately deflated and pushed Peng Hui, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go chill somewhere and don’t disturb me from memorizing questions. Although I’m not yearning for a scholarship, I can’t just barely pass either, right? If I don’t manage well and end up failing, I can’t bear that shame."

On the day of the final exams, the weather was gloomy, and by afternoon, nail-sized snowflakes started to swirl from the sky.

Peng Hui posed dramatically, saying to Zhao Meimei and Qian Simeng, "Even the heavens feel sad for me. I’ve calculated carefully, and it’s possible I might fail two subjects this time."

Qian Simeng sighed and said, "I heard this time, if you fail, the retake exams are not until the end of January. Once the holidays start, there’ll be no one at school, and the cafeteria will be closed. We’ll have to go off-campus to buy food, so troublesome!"

Zhao Meimei pulled them both into her embrace, "There’s still one last subject, can’t you not be so negative and defeat yourselves? Besides, if worst comes to worst, you can stay at my place. My home is so close to the school, it’s no different from going out to get food."

This time, Peng Hui and Qian Simeng rejected in unison, "No way!"

Zhao Meimei was surprised, "Why not?"

Peng Hui grumpily said, "The place is just filled with sugary sweet cohabitation vibes. If I go in, I can’t breathe, can’t catch my breath!!"

Qian Simeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, exactly!"

Zhao Meimei was both amused and annoyed, "Fine, don’t go then. I find you two shiny buzz lights distracting too!"

Finally, the end of the finals was in sight, and Zhao Meimei, after packing her things, bid farewell to Peng Hui and Qian Simeng and ran home excitedly, calling Shi Yang on the way, urging him, "Brother! I’m done with my exams!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel{f}ire.net

Shi Yang laughed over the phone, "Then I’ll start heating up, when you get back, it’ll be ready."

Zhao Meimei paused, "You’re at home?"

Shi Yang said, "Yeah, knowing you’d finish your exams today, I didn’t go to the company this afternoon and made a whole pot of spicy hotpot for you!"

The phone immediately rang with Zhao Meimei’s excited squeal, "Brother! I love you so much! I’m coming home right now!"

Shi Yang hung up the phone, couldn’t help but shake his head and wondered aloud with a smile, "Seriously, is she missing me? It’s clearly the hotpot she’s after!"

Usually, when eating hotpot, Shi Yang serves Zhao Meimei, he’s responsible for cooking, and Zhao Meimei just eats. But today, it was the opposite, Zhao Meimei suddenly took over the work, picking up one piece of cooked lamb after another, placing them in Shi Yang’s bowl.

Shi Yang felt delighted, inexplicably having a sense of pride like his precious was growing up.

Shi Yang teasingly asked Zhao Meimei, "Why are you flattering me? Are you worried I won’t serve you well tonight in bed?"

Zhao Meimei shook her head, seriously saying, "No, actually I’m afraid you’ll wear me out later, so I’m complimenting you."

Shi Yang was exhilarated by Zhao Meimei’s flattering words and laughed, "How could I bear to wear you out? If I really break you, what could we do in the future?"

Zhao Meimei giggled, being proud, "It’s mainly because you fancy me too much, you lose control whenever you touch me, right?"

Shi Yang looked at her smug expression, his heart tickled, he leaned over and kissed her lips, "Exactly, whenever I see you, I just want to press you on the bed and never let you get up."

Shi Yang beckoned her with his finger, "Darling, come over, sit on my lap, it’s been days since I’ve kissed you."

Zhao Meimei was so warmed by Shi Yang’s words that she couldn’t resist the temptation. She gleefully rushed over, and as she reached Shi Yang, he grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap into a hug.
