Chapter 402: Chapter 403: Blue-Faced Disaster

"Really?" Cheng Hao pondered and realized that what Pei Yicheng said might not be so far-fetched after all. He had always felt an urge to punch someone whenever he saw Wa Lei smile.

"Of course, it’s true," Pei Yicheng asserted, "Here, the food has arrived, try it quickly. We need to go see the evening performance soon."

"Yeah, big bro, try it, it’s really delicious."

Xu Nianhua particularly loved these tasty treats, so she always ended up with a round, bloated belly every time.

"Okay."

Xu Nian’an hadn’t known who Wa Lei was, so he had been quiet all this time. Now that he started eating, he regained his earlier liveliness.

...

At five ten, Xu Nianhua and their group arrived at the auditorium, which was already crowded with people. Cheng Hao and Xu Nian’an squeezed into the crowd, followed by Xu Nianhua, with Pei Yicheng bringing up the rear, protecting Xu Nianhua in front of him. They found seats at the very back row, and although they were a bit far from the stage, the view was clear and unobstructed.

Pei Yicheng fiddled with his camera, which was usually treasured by Pei Yining, and he only ever operated it. He tested out the angles; despite their distance, the camera’s quality meant he could still capture some photos.

"Why didn’t you participate?"

While the evening performance had yet to start, Pei Yicheng asked.

"I don’t really have any talents," Xu Nianhua wasn’t interested in the stage.

"How can that be? I heard from Yining that you sing pretty well."

Since it was noisy nearby, Pei Yicheng and Xu Nianhua had to speak closely together.

Xu Nianhua could even feel Pei Yicheng’s breath lingering around her ear, his voice close, making her feel... uneasy.

"That, I’m tone-deaf, or I can only sing nursery rhymes," Xu Nianhua quietly moved away, saying, "What about you, why didn’t you participate? Everyone in our dorm knows about you."

"Really?" A bright light suddenly flashed in Pei Yicheng’s eyes.

Xu Nianhua was startled; those bright, shining eyes of his were like whirlpools, seemingly about to suck away her soul along with her being.

"You’re a well-known figure in school; who doesn’t know you?" Xu Nianhua tried to speak nonchalantly, ignoring her heart thumping out of her chest, "Everyone knows you had an accident while trying to save someone, took more than a year off school, but still caught up with the school’s progress through self-study. That’s really impressive!"

"All the people in our dorm admire you a lot," Xu Nianhua added.

The fleeting look of disappointment in Pei Yicheng’s eyes was quickly masked. He had hoped Nianhua would have talked about him to her dorm mates. Then he asked, "What about you?"

"Of course, I admire you too. You’re my role model, the direction I strive for," Xu Nianhua said earnestly, both in studies and career.

Xu Nianhua always admired Pei Yicheng greatly.

"I’m honored," Pei Yicheng’s gaze locked onto her intently.

Xu Nianhua thought, it’s all over now; his attentive gaze made her feel like she was the female protagonist in a TV drama.

Her heartbeat sped up even more.

They say a beauty brings disaster, but to Xu Nianhua, this handsome man was just as dangerous!

Pei Yicheng, already handsome, with such an intense gaze, was simply too... alluring!

Let alone a young girl, even with the heart of an old lady, she couldn’t stop her heart from racing.

"Pei Yicheng," Xu Nianhua suddenly said, "in the future, please don’t look at others with such focus."
