Chapter 400 No comparison, no harm
Pei Jin took the medal off his neck and stuffed it into his pocket along with the rope.
Hearing this, his mind moved, he lowered his eyes to look at Bai Yuan, then lowered his head and moved closer, and said in a low voice with a hint of meaning:
"This is all you get for first place?"
He pretended to be dissatisfied and nitpicked: "Where are the flowers? Where are the applause? Where are the hugs? And..."
As he spoke, Pei Jin stretched out a finger and tapped the corner of his mouth. Ripples appeared in his deep blue eyes, and his gaze at Bai Yuan became more and more sticky. His purpose was self-evident.
Seeing this, Bai Yuan touched his cheek again and patted him twice to comfort him, "Speak properly and don't act cute."
You are so old, but you are still imitating the kindergarten kids and putting your fingers on the corners of your mouth and smiling foolishly. Isn’t that childish? Bai Xun didn’t take pictures like this when he was in the second grade of Primary School.
Pei Jin: …
The curve that just appeared on the boy's mouth slowly disappeared.
Having swept away the joy of winning the prize, Pei Jin followed Bai Yuan dejectedly and withdrew from the already half-empty competition venue.
Bai Yuan's car and driver had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
At this time, seeing Pei Jin and Bai Yuan coming out of the venue, he got up from the driver's seat, opened the car door, held the door frame, and sent Bai Yuan into the car first.
Before he could go around to the other side of the back seat to serve Pei Jin, Pei Jin, whose mood was affected, had already taken the initiative to open the car door himself.
In an instant, a rich, refreshing fragrance came like a tide, rushing into Pei Jin's nose without any preparation and hitting his face.
Next, what comes into view is a large expanse of water blue that is as clear, pure, fresh and unworldly as a clear sky, soft and bright.
On the back seat of the co-pilot, a bouquet of hyacinths was carefully arranged neatly, each flower blooming with delicate, velvety petals, the colors were bright and eye-catching, and just one look at it could soothe one's heart's restlessness.
Pei Jin was stunned by this sudden "surprise" and obviously didn't react. He just held the car door and looked at it for about ten seconds. Then he bent down woodenly, put his head into the car, and looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief.
"Is this... for me?"
He pointed to the bouquet of flowers on the seat, still a little bit unable to believe it was real.
After all, in his opinion, Bai Yuan didn't seem like someone who would suddenly do such... such... romantic thing.
Bai Yuan did not comment, looked at Pei Jin as usual, and said lightly, "Do you like the flowers you asked for?"
The flowers have been prepared long ago, and there is a flower-giving session at the end of every game, which is considered a tradition.
When she participated in the violin competition, Wen Yi Che specially sent her such a big bouquet of irises to express his congratulations.
Similarly, she would naturally not forget to prepare such a bouquet for Pei Jin.
But the flowers are so big and the colors are so eye-catching, she can't possibly carry them in to watch the entire competition, right?
How conspicuous.
So I could only put it in the car first and then hand it to Pei Jin after he got in.
Pei Jin was about to say something when he felt the corners of his mouth tremble uncontrollably. He tried to suppress it, but it was soon to no avail.
Pei Jin was like a boiling kettle, leaking a lot of air with a hissing sound. He lowered his head to get into the car, while carefully picking up the bouquet and holding it in his arms.
"Come if you want, what else do you want to give me... puff... cough cough... flowers..." Pei Jin smelled the fragrance of the flowers and put his chin into the bouquet, hiding most of his face. "I just said it casually, it doesn't matter whether I have it or not... You, you took it seriously."
As he spoke, he used his fingers to stir the white ribbon tied at the bottom of the bouquet, moving it back and forth while wrapping it around his fingers in circles.
Bai Yuan took in Pei Jin's awkward reaction and gently curled the corners of his lips, "As long as you like it."
Pei Jin's mood instantly brightened after receiving such a large bouquet of flowers. He no longer cared about Bai Yuan's lack of understanding of romance. He held the flowers in his hands, smelling, touching and looking at them all the way.
Therefore, when the car stopped in front of the reserved restaurant, Pei Jin felt a surge of air in his chest, and he felt dizzy and nauseous. The result of not looking up while riding in the car was that Young Master Pei got carsick as expected.
The fragrance of the flowers filled his nose. What Pei Jin needed most now was fresh air, so he had to put the flowers back on the car seat. Then he held the door open for a while in the car.
During this time, Bai Yuan handed him a bottle of purified water. Pei Jin tilted his head back and drank most of the bottle. Only then did he feel better in his stomach and finally recovered.
Bai Yuan asked the driver to buy a bag of oranges and leave them in the car as a backup, so that Pei Jin would not get carsick again on the way back later.
The little incident of motion sickness did not affect Pei Jin's good mood.
Because of the flowers sent by Bai Yuan, Pei Jin became more and more excited about going to the restaurant later, thinking that Bai Yuan might have some surprises prepared for him.
Speaking of which...
Pei Jin secretly glanced at Bai Yuan's profile out of the corner of his eye.
Today, we sent flowers and had a meal together. This should be considered as... a date, right?
The first official date where the two of them were alone together.
Maybe there will be a candlelight dinner or something later.
Pei Jin followed the waiter and Bai Yuan into the elevator with anticipation. As the floors went up, he no longer felt nervous.
Finally, with the ding-dong sound of the European classical-style elevator from the last century, the few people arrived at the eighth floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Pei Jin's azure eyes lit up little by little. Then, after seeing the person inside clearly, they dimmed little by little.
Not only did the look in his eyes change from expectation to disgust, but even the so-called surprise turned into shock at this moment.
Wen Yiche, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and greeted the two of them, "Come on, sit down."
He was dressed in a white suit, which highlighted his cool and elegant temperament. He looked as unattainable and proud as the snow on the mountain.
Pei Jin curled his lips, looking unhappy, and complained to Bai Yuan in a low voice:
"Why is he here?"
He thought it was a candlelight dinner for two?
Who would have thought that the candlelight would become a spirit.
There is such a big light bulb here.
Tsk... bad luck.
Bai Yuan glanced at Pei Jin from the side, his eyes seemed to say "What nonsense are you talking about?"
As the host, isn't it normal for Wen Yiche to receive Bai Yuan and Pei Jin who came from afar, and to celebrate Pei Jin's excellent results in the competition?
What's more, he regards himself as Bai Yuan's brother. Since he is a brother, isn't it reasonable for him to host a banquet to entertain his sister's boyfriend?
It would be really rude if I just let them go without saying anything and without any expression.
Wen Yi Che is just aloof, but he is not ignorant of the ways of the world. Coming from a big family, his etiquette and upbringing are naturally not bad. He also would not deliberately target or neglect Bai Yuan's close friends just because of personal grudges.
Pei Jin was just frightened by the sight of Wen Yiche, such a big living person, and it also broke his original expectations. It was normal for him to feel a huge gap in his heart.
But soon, he realized that there was a reason for everything. Wen Yiche was well-mannered and well-educated, and Pei Jin, as the only heir of the Pei family, had learned no less than Wen Yiche and Bai Yuan when he was a child.
Personal grudges should be settled privately. No matter how much you dislike each other, you still have to put on a show in formal occasions. How can you really tear each other's hair apart in public and make a fool of yourself for others?
Pei Jin quickly figured out the reason and reluctantly accepted the fact that Wen Yi Che would have dinner with them tonight.
However, Pei Jin was still angry.
The young man looked at Wen Yiche from a distance, then suddenly moved closer to Bai Yuan and whispered:
"You go first. I left my stuff in the car. Go get it and I'll be right back."
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Yuan to suggest that the driver help bring it up, Pei Jin turned and entered the elevator. As the "ding dong" bell rang, he went down to another floor.
Bai Yuan:......
This is her car.
What could Pei Jin have in her car?
Pei Jin also moved quickly and soon turned back.
When the young man's slightly hurried figure appeared in the elevator, Bai Yuan and Wen Yiche's eyes fell on the huge bunch of blue hyacinths in Pei Jin's arms at the same time.
Pei Jin: "I almost forgot, Bai Yuan, I really like the flowers you gave me, what beautiful hyacinths, I want to put it in the most conspicuous place... just..."
As he spoke, Pei Jin walked to the table, snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to bring a chair, and placed the bouquet of flowers between his and Wen Yiche's seats, thereby separating the other from himself.
"It fits perfectly here, it's perfect!" After saying that, he looked at Wen Yiche again and raised his eyebrows provocatively, "Brother, you don't mind if I put the flowers Bai Yuan gave me here, do you?"
As he spoke, he emphasized the four words "Bai Yuan gave it to me" and pointed the congratulatory card written by Bai Yuan on the bouquet in the direction of Wen Yiche.
Wen Yiche: ...
Facing Pei Jin's childish behavior, Wen Yiche couldn't help but laugh: "Of course I don't mind."
It's just a bouquet of flowers, there's nothing to show off about.
Wen Yiche actually couldn't quite understand Pei Jin's behavior at this time.
By the way, it was he who recommended these flowers to Bai Yuan from the flower shop, and he was also the one who helped to pick them up and deliver them to Bai Yuan's car.
The person Bai Yuan is dating is childish and immature. He is even more prone to temper and short-temper than Qin Lingzheng was back then. He is so impatient.
If we exclude the possibility that Bai Yuan was forced to accept a family marriage and was with Pei Jin, could it be that...
Wen Yiche thought about this and was distracted for a moment, thinking:
Does Bai Yuan like this kind of boy who is flashy, wild and unruly?
Wen Yi Che was thinking about Bai Yuan's thoughts in his heart, but he still did not forget to maintain his composure and congratulated Pei Jin on his excellent results in the competition.
After the greetings, he started chatting with Bai Yuan skillfully.
While Wen Yiche was thinking, Pei Jin was also secretly observing Wen Yiche.
The natural advantages and gaps brought by age and experience cannot be made up in the short term, nor can they be caught up in an instant.
Wen Yiche is more mature, stable, and sensible than Pei Jin. Although he is only around twenty years old, he already has the rudiments of mature masculine charm.
Unlike his usual arrogance, at the dinner table, Wen Yi Che was able to take care of both Bai Yuan and Pei Jin with ease. Whether it was maintaining the topic or taking everyone's feelings into consideration when choosing the topic, his performance was flawless.
Even someone like Pei Jin, who was hostile to Wen Yiche from the beginning, felt a little awkward in the beginning, but later on, he had to be impressed by the other party's thoroughness and carefulness, and admitted that he was indeed quite like that.
Just as Bai Yuan thought, although Wen Yiche was aloof, he had been the student union president of junior high school, high school and even college after all. If he really only knew how to keep a stern face, be the flower of the mountain, and be very frugal with his words, the work of the union would have been halted countless times.
Without ability, a sense of the overall situation, the ability to coordinate, and excellent interpersonal and handling skills, no matter how talented Wen Yiche is or how outstanding his talent in piano is, the position of student union president will never fall on him.
Bai Yuan was the successor president brought up by Wen Yiche. Naturally, he knew that Wen Yiche was much more careful, meticulous, perceptive, and decisive than he appeared.
No matter how complicated and tedious the matter is, or how difficult the interpersonal relationships are, Wen Yiche can handle them extremely well.
His outstanding talent often obscures his other excellent qualities. For example, in addition to being a musical genius, he is also an excellent leader.
This is actually not that difficult to understand.
Since Wen Yiche has followed in the family's footsteps, he will certainly take over the orchestra and business run by his parents in the future. Therefore, how to coordinate conflicts within the band and among employees and balance interpersonal relationships have become compulsory subjects for him.
The Student Union is just a touchstone on his growth path.
On this point, Pei Jin and Wen Yiche have many differences.
Although he is also the heir of a large family, Pei Jin is not a good leader. He is easily shaken, acts impulsively, has immature thinking, and still has illusions and innocence about certain things, which makes him easily influenced and instigated by those around him.
After seeing this, Pei's mother also sighed with regret that he was "not good enough for important tasks".
As a person who has been admired by everyone since childhood, Pei Jin lacks the empathy that is necessary for a leader.
Not only does he have a strong sense of self-awareness and puts himself first in everything, he also tends to act on impulse.
In addition, he is usually treated as if he were nothing by everyone, and nice words are poured into his ears like they are free. Over time, he has developed the arrogant and reckless temper of a rich young master.
Whenever he sees something he doesn't like, his first reaction is not to coordinate people to solve it, but to lose his temper and put on airs.
Sometimes, not only can it not solve the problem, but it will also intensify the conflict, causing trouble to the people around, and often giving Pei's mother a headache, sighing that she had been so wise all her life, but why did she give birth to such a useless person.
At this moment, Pei Jin looked at Wen Yiche, who was flawless from head to toe, even down to his hair, and unexpectedly, for the first time in his life, he felt as if he was dwarfed, outshined, and outdone by the other person.
There is no harm without comparison.
Especially when he saw Bai Yuan behaving in the same way, the two of them had such a harmonious temperament that Pei Jincai looked like a spirit light bulb, sitting here and being an eyesore.
But the most terrifying thing is that Wen Yiche's deliberate care will not make Pei Jin feel ignored, neglected, left out or redundant.
It was so terrifying.
Pei Jin couldn't help but look at Bai Yuan, and speculated in his heart:
Could it be that Bai Yuan likes this kind of mature, steady, low-key, introverted, gentle and elegant.........stifling men???
