the next day.
3601.
Zhang Wei came back from the library and happened to stop by room 3601 to borrow a bottle of milk. But when he entered, he saw three cups of tea on the table.
I was a little puzzled for a moment; who would come here as a guest...?
Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Chen Xiaobai beside him, "Has she been here?"
"Hey Zhang Wei, how did you know she was here?"
Before Chen Xiaobai could speak, Hu Yifei walked over with great interest.
"I guessed it. Why didn't you tell me? Is she going to compensate me again?"
Zhang Wei gave a perfunctory reply, his attention still focused on the fact that Xiao Li had come by. She had been coming every day lately, which had given him a lot of stress; he would get angry just hearing her name.
Chen Xiaobai patted the sofa to make him sit down, and then explained, "You weren't here just now, so I chatted with her for a bit. She asked me to ask you if you would like to study at Harvard Law School. She said her family has some connections there!"
"I know, I recognize them!"
Zhang Wei laughed speechlessly, "Is your last name Bi? Bill Gates, right!"
"Don't worry, I rejected it for you!"
Chen Xiaobai stroked Zhang Wei's spiky hair. How come he never realized Zhang Wei was so easy to stroke before?
"and then?"
Zhang Wei irritably removed his hand and glared at Chen Xiaobai.
Chen Xiaobai chuckled awkwardly: "And then..."

morning.
3601.
Xiao Li's arrival was unfortunate; Zhang Wei was not there, and just as Hu Yifei was preparing to entertain him, Chen Xiaobai happened to arrive.
Hu Yifei had just put down two cups of tea when she saw Chen Xiaobai and said irritably, "Why have you been wandering around aimlessly these past few days? If you have nothing better to do, go help Wangcai downstairs turn over some soil!"
"Hey, why are you swearing at me? Can't neighbors even visit each other's homes anymore?!"
Chen Xiaobai retorted without hesitation, but sighed inwardly. Who knew how much his adoptive father had sacrificed for that rebellious son!
"You're coming here way too often! Anyone who didn't know better would think this is your family cafeteria, with three meals a day!"
Hu Yifei scoffed, but still poured him a cup of tea.
Chen Xiaobai took this opportunity to sit down and chat with Xiaoli. When Hu Yifei returned with the tea, he could sit and watch the drama unfold, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Xiaoli smiled and greeted Chen Xiaobai politely: "Xiaobai, hello, I know you. Zhang Wei told me about you before. He said you were the most promising kid in their orphanage!"
"Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me!"
Chen Xiaobai didn't want to get too involved with her. After a few simple pleasantries, he got down to business, "You came to see Zhang Wei to make amends, right? But... you don't need to do that at all. Neither of you has wronged the other. You're just going your separate ways to live better lives!"
"But I feel... he still hates me!"
Xiaoli lowered her head sadly.
"How could that be? I've almost forgotten what happened before, I don't feel anything anymore!"
Zhang Wei gave an awkward laugh.
"That's what I said too!"
Chen Xiaobai shrugged.
The scene continues;
Xiaoli explained, "I know him too well. He may not say it, but he remembers it in his heart. He's a lot like Qiangzi in that respect. When I was with Zhang Wei, he didn't say anything either, and it only came out after we got married!"
"Qiangzi understands Zhang Wei's feelings very well now, so please talk to him and let us make it up to him!"
At this point, Chen Xiaobai finally understood, "So you're not feeling guilty at all, but rather afraid that Zhang Wei will do the same thing as Qiangzi and ruin your wedding!"
"I......"
Xiaoli's face suddenly turned very pale. She didn't know what to say, and finally lowered her head in silence.
reality.
"Oh, just tell her to rest assured. I'll wish them all the best and promise not to cause any trouble. I've already talked to Jian Ning about this, and she supports my decision!"
Zhang Wei shrugged, looking utterly devastated. "You should have told me sooner! You've been tormenting me for days..."
"It's all because of the nonsense you said when we met that day... 'It's fate that brought us together from afar,' which scared them. They thought you were looking for revenge. Otherwise, why didn't you come to make amends sooner? Why did you have to come now!"
Chen Xiaobai said in an annoyed tone, then laughed again. "One sentence made that woman spend a million on me, and I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights!"
With this record, Zhang Wei can be considered an MVP!
"I... I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say. I just blurted it out!"
Zhang Wei stood up hastily to explain. Now, thinking back, he realized that when they first met, he forced a smile and awkwardly said that line—it really did sound like a revenge scene from a horror movie...
"Don't worry, that's what I said too!"
Chen Xiaobai pressed Zhang Wei down on the sofa to comfort him, and this time Zhang Wei did not remove his hand.
The scene continues;
Chen Xiaobai explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhang Wei was just greeting you that day, but he didn't know what to say and blurted out that sentence. He didn't mean anything by it!"
Seeing that Xiaoli was still somewhat suspicious, Hu Yifei chimed in, "Yeah, Zhang Wei is such an honest person, how could he possibly threaten you? He wouldn't even dare to kill a rat normally. Besides, didn't you say you knew him very well? How could you have thought of this?"
"You don't know, when faced with something like this, someone like Zhang Wei either perishes in silence or erupts in anger!"
Xiaoli spoke with such conviction that it was clear she had seen news reports of oppressed people fighting back.
Chen Xiaobai, however, lacked such patience: "Now I've explained it to you clearly. Zhang Wei won't ruin your wedding, nor will he seek revenge, and he certainly won't disturb your happy life. You can rest assured!"
"Of course, if you really feel guilty and have too much money to spend, then go and donate some money to the welfare home!"
"Okay, I understand. But I have one more request. If Zhang Wei can do that, then I believe he will definitely let go of our issues!"
Xiaoli had just stood up when she sat down again, and began rummaging through her bag.
"whats the matter?"
Hu Yifei asked in confusion.
"Could you please pass this on to Zhang Wei for our wedding?"
Xiaoli suddenly pulled out a red invitation card, then smiled a little shyly and said, "I didn't bring that many with me. If you want to come, just come with Zhang Wei. Qiangzi and I would love to welcome you!"
Hu Yifei: "Wow~"
"What?! You didn't agree to that?!"
Zhang Wei suddenly stood up.
Chen Xiaobai calmly took a sip of tea: "Sit down. You're so impulsive. How could your godfather let you participate?"
