He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Meng Huan paused for a moment, then chuckled, "I begged the dorm supervisor for ages before she let me out."

"Actually, it wasn't necessary. I just drank too much."

"Oh dear, I'm so worried about you. I can't sleep if I don't come to see you."

Looking at the enthusiastic and coquettish girl in front of him, Pei Jinnian couldn't help but think of Song Zhi.

Song Zhi's concern was only superficial; the girl in front of him truly had her heart and soul completely devoted to him.

Pei Jinnian reached out and hugged him: "Baby, you worked hard last night, and you even made me a hangover soup."

Meng Huan froze: "Hangover soup?"

Pei Jinnian frowned slightly as he looked at her expression: "Didn't you make it?"

Meng Huan realized what was happening and quickly said, "I just learned it, so it's not very good."

"It tastes great, thank you for your hard work, baby."

After taking Meng Huan out for breakfast, Pei Jinnian took her back to school.

When it was time to get off the bus, Meng Huan clung to Pei Jinnian, reluctant to leave.

Pei Jin coaxed softly, "Okay, baby, be a good girl in class, and I'll take you out for something delicious after class, okay?"

As he was saying this, Pei Jinnian suddenly saw a familiar figure getting off the bus.

Is Song Zhi returning to school at this hour?

So you didn't go back to the apartment building last night?

Pei Jinnian suppressed the urge to confront Meng Huan, calmed her down, and watched her walk into the school.

When he looked towards Song Zhi's apartment building again, she was gone.

As if possessed, he drove to Song Zhi's apartment building and looked at the floor where Song Zhi lived.

A moment later, Song Zhi appeared on the balcony, talking on the phone with someone.

Pei Jinnian subconsciously lowered his body, not wanting Song Zhi to see that he was spying on her.

Only after Song Zhi went inside did he sit up straight and lean lazily against the backrest.

He sighed in frustration, then started the car and drove away.

……

When Song Zhi returned to her dormitory, she received a call from Xiao Wan, who invited her out for dinner.

When she left, she didn't forget to take Fu Lu's scarf with her, intending to return it to him today.

They met at the restaurant where they often ate together.

Song Zhi thought it was a gathering of her best friends, but she didn't expect Xiao Wan's boyfriend to be there too.

The boy was wearing a black down jacket and jeans, with a blue beanie on his back. He looked to be over 1.8 meters tall and quite muscular.

No wonder Xiao Wan was so infatuated with him; she was his ideal type.

The boy has a sweet tongue.

He called Song Zhi "sister" whenever he saw her.

Song Zhi smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Wan linked arms with Song Zhi and whispered, "How about the little puppy?"

Song Zhi nodded.

"Isn't my taste good?"

"That's right. By the way, what's this called?"

Upon hearing Song Zhi's words, the little puppy took the initiative to introduce himself: "Sister, my name is Chi Ye."

Chi Ye.

It looks wild enough.

She smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Um, please don't call me 'sister' anymore, just call me by my name, Song Zhi."

Chi Ye gave Song Zhi a bright smile, affectionately linked arms with Xiao Wan, and even rested his head on Xiao Wan's shoulder.

Song Zhi felt a little embarrassed and wanted to leave.

She was too embarrassed to say it.

He simply sent a message to Xiao Wan on his phone.

Why did you two, a young couple, invite me to be a third wheel?

Oh, I'm just introducing you to him/her.

Song Zhi glanced at Xiao Wan's message, then looked up at Chi Ye and gave him a fake smile.

Chi Ye suddenly spoke to Xiao Wan: "Sister, didn't you say you had two friends?"

Song Zhi was taken aback when she heard Chi Ye address Xiao Wan.

It seems this little puppy calls everyone "sister."

Song Zhi asked in confusion, "Who else?"

Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Wan's phone rang.

She answered the phone: "Hello, are you here? Oh, okay, I'll come pick you up." As she said this, Xiao Wan got up and walked towards the door.

"Sit down first, I'll go pick them up."

Once everyone left, only Song Zhi and Chi Ye remained in the private room.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Song Zhi took out her phone, opened WeChat, and after seeing the message Fu Lu sent last night, hesitated for a moment before replying with an emoji.

The message was sent out and Fu Lu replied almost instantly.

【You're only replying now? ???】

Song Zhi looked at the aggrieved emoji that Fu Lu had sent and suddenly smiled.

The next second, Ikeno's curious voice came: "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

When Song Zhi heard Chi Ye call her "sister" again, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

"Call me by my name."

Chi Ye smiled awkwardly: "Sister Song Zhi, can we add each other on WeChat?"

"..."

Song Zhi felt that this person had a lack of boundaries.

He was Xiao Wan's boyfriend, and he actually added her on WeChat when Xiao Wan wasn't around.

Song Zhi couldn't help but start speculating about Chi Ye's intentions with a petty mind.

She smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Chi Ye smiled and was about to lower his phone to scan the QR code when he heard Song Zhi say, "You can have Wanwan send you my WeChat."

Ikeno's smile froze.

The refusal couldn't be clearer.

He could only nod with a forced smile.

Song Zhi turned her attention back to her phone. When Fu Lu saw that she wasn't replying, he sent her several aggrieved emojis.

Song Zhi sighed helplessly and sent the edited message.

I'd like to return your scarf to you today. Do you have time?

The message just went out.

A location message popped up.

The Fu Group Building.

Does Fu Lu mean he should go to his workplace to find him?

"Wanwan, look who's here!"

Just as Song Zhi was wondering, Xiao Wan's voice came from the door of the private room.

Song Zhi looked up and was stunned when she saw the fight between Xiao Wan and her friend.

She never expected that she would be tricked by Xiao Wan.

Qin Zheng walked towards her with a smile: "Song Zhi, it's been a long time."

Song Zhi felt a little embarrassed. Qin Zheng had called her last time to ask her out, but she had refused.

She never expected to be tricked by Xiao Wan today.

Song Zhi looked up and glared at Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan laughed it off: "Oh, it just so happens that everyone has time, so we came out for a meal. We're all old friends, aren't we?"

Qin Zheng sat down next to Song Zhi without a second thought and casually asked, "I heard you broke up with Pei Jinnian?"

Song Zhi didn't expect him to come up with something so big right away.

Somewhat awkwardly: "Yeah, we broke up."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "It's good that you broke up. Pei Jinnian wasn't right for you."

Song Zhi was somewhat reluctant to continue the topic, "I thought you would stay abroad forever."

"How could that be? Nothing outside is as comfortable as home." Only then did he turn his gaze to Chi Ye.

Qin Zheng looked the boy up and down, then raised an eyebrow at Xiao Wan: "Miss, is this your boyfriend?"

Xiao Wan, linking her arm with Chi Ye's, smiled sweetly: "Yes, let me introduce you. Chi Ye, this is Qin Zheng, my senior."

Chi Ye greeted Qin Zheng obediently: "Hello, Brother Qin Zheng."

Xiao Wan suddenly stood up abruptly: "Um, I left a document at the company and need to go get it now. I'm really sorry, you guys eat, let's get together again next time."

As she spoke, she pulled Ikeno away.

How could Song Zhi not see through her little scheme?

She stood up too: "I happen to have something to do too, how about we go together?"

Xiao Wan was stunned.

She looked somewhat awkwardly at Qin Zheng, who was sitting in the chair.

Qin Zheng laughed and joked, "Am I that scary that one or two people would stop eating and leave?"

Song Zhi looked at Xiao Wan awkwardly.

Xiao Wan gestured for her to sit back down quickly.

Just as the two were at an impasse, a cell phone ring broke the awkward silence in the private room.

Hearing the familiar ringtone, Song Zhi quickly took her phone out of her bag.

It was Fu Lu who opened it.

Song Zhi answered the phone: "Hello."

Fu Lu's pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone: "Did you see the message I sent you?"

Song Zhi belatedly realized that she had forgotten to reply to Fu Lu's message because she had been interrupted by Xiao Wan.

"Sorry, I forgot to reply to you."

"It's okay, are you coming over now?"

Song Zhi glanced at Xiao Wan, who had already returned to her seat; it was impossible for her to leave.

Song Zhi replied truthfully, "I'm having lunch with my friends. I'll come find you after I finish eating."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone before Fu Lu spoke softly, "It's okay, I'll wait for you. Have fun with your friends, although I didn't have brunch either..."
