In the Pei family's study, Pei Ruoqing calmly met Old Master Pei's sharp gaze. She elegantly fiddled with the tea set in her hand and poured a cup of tea in front of Pei Yansong. Pei Yansong stared at the cup in front of him that was overflowing with the fragrance of tea. He glanced at Pei Ruoqing and did not move.
"You flew here alone? Your father didn't let anyone accompany you."
Pei Ruoqing took a sip of tea and replied," Father did not agree to me coming to the capital alone. I felt that it was too troublesome, so I did not let anyone come with me. I even spent a lot of effort to persuade him.”
Pei Yansong glared at him and said," This is simply nonsense. What kind of father is he? You're insensible, and so is he.”
When Old Master Pei said this, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with Pei Yuanshao's childhood.
"Grandpa, I'm not used to having people around me. Besides, I'm not a child.”
"If you're not a child, who are you? You haven't even grown your hair, and you want to learn from an adult? With your small arms and legs, you won't even have a place to cry if you're sold.”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
"Cough, Grandpa, I made you some peach cakes and five-nut mooncakes at home.”
Pei Ruoqing took the black backpack and took out a few boxes of peach cakes and mooncakes.
Pei Yansong's expression eased a lot." You have a conscience more than your father."”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless. He did not know how to respond.
"My dad actually misses you a lot. He knew that I was going to compete in Beijing, so he specially asked me to come and see you. It was he who told me that you like to eat these. Otherwise, how would I know what you like to eat?”
Pei Yansong snorted and did not deny this sentence. Did he not understand his son? Filial piety was true. He did not doubt that Little Ruo said he missed him, but the last two sentences were pure nonsense. If Pei Yuanshao could think of this, he would have read his name backwards.
"Why waste your time? I don't lack these.”
Pei Ruoqing smiled." You don't lack it, but there's too much sugar and oil bought outside. It's not suitable to eat too much. It's better to make it clean and sanitary yourself.”
Pei Yansong took a bite of the peach cake that Pei Ruoqing handed over. He raised his eyebrows and his face was filled with obvious joy." Did you also send those pastries in the past?”
Pei Ruoqing nodded.
Pei Yansong smiled and said," You have good skills. You're better than your father in this aspect.”
"As long as Grandpa likes it." Pei Ruoqing's eyes were gentle.
Pei Yansong picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip. Yes, his tea-brewing skills were not bad. Even his aura looked much more comfortable than that bastard Pei Yuanshao.
In the Pei family's dining room, Old Master Pei sat at the head of the table. Zhou Zhengyan and Pei Ruoqing sat on both sides. Zhou Zhengyan did not agree to eat with them at first, saying that it was not appropriate. He only joined them after Pei Ruoqing persuaded him.
Seeing that Pei Ruoqing had only eaten two mouthfuls and did not move her chopsticks much, Zhou Zhengyan frowned and asked," Little Young Master, is the food not to your liking?”
Pei Ruoqing was stunned." Grandpa Zhou, you can just call me by my name. The food is quite delicious. Unfortunately, I can't eat it.”
"You've only eaten two mouthfuls. How are you full? If you really don't like these, I'll get the kitchen to make some more.”
Pei Ruoqing said helplessly," I'm really full. If I continue eating, I'll be full."”
Pei Yansong looked at Pei Ruoqing," Old Zhou, go and bring my parrot over. Let it compete with Little Ruo on who eats more."”
Zhou Zhengyan was speechless.
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
Then, Zhou Zhengyan smiled and said," That's right, Young Master. You don't even eat as much as the Chief's parrot. That won't do. You're still growing. You can't even provide the nutrients your body needs if you eat so little, let alone grow. Look at how skinny you are. A gust of wind can blow you away.”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
"I told you that your father was lacking food. He looked so listless. What can you do with so little food? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.”Pei Yansong frowned and said unhappily.
"That's not true, Grandpa. I just have a small appetite and I don't get fat.”
"You call that having a small appetite? This is called having no stomach. I don't believe you won't get fat after eating three big bowls of it for a meal.”
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
After the meal, Pei Ruoqing almost lost her image. She placed her hand on her abdomen and leaned back on the sofa.
Pei Yansong sat at the side, sipping a cup of tea. He looked at Pei Ruoqing's stuffed face and smiled." Good for you. It's just a small bowl of rice."”
"But my usual appetite is half of this.”
Pei Yansong put down the cup in his hand, stood up and said," It doesn't eat as much as Old Yan's cat. Let's go out for a walk. Don't accumulate food."”
Pei Ruoqing obediently got up from the sofa and followed Pei Yansong out the door.
"How long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?”Pei Yansong suddenly asked.
Pei Ruoqing was silent for a while." About a week. However, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. The Go tournament will start the day after tomorrow.”
"Is it that Go match with Country R and Country H?”
Pei Ruoqing nodded.
"You're already more outstanding than ordinary people by being selected for the competition. You don't have to feel too much pressure. Just do your best. Our Pei family doesn't need you to be outstanding, as long as you're safe and happy.”
Pei Ruoqing was stunned for a moment before she suddenly smiled. This smile was too pure and bright. Pei Yansong was stunned for a moment as his expression softened. Although they had only interacted for a few hours, he could tell that Pei Ruoqing was not as relaxed as he appeared. Instead, she was suppressing something in her heart. Even the gentleness he showed and the smile on his face were fake. It was only now that there was a hint of reality.
"Grandpa, your grandson is outstanding. Not only is he good-looking, but he's also a genius. He's proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He'll definitely win the championship this time.”
Pei Yansong pretended to be stern." The descendants of the Pei family are not allowed to be arrogant.”
"Of course not. I'm telling the truth very seriously.”Pei Ruoqing said with a smile. Also, how could Pei Ruoqing be ordinary? He would definitely not allow Pei Ruoqing to be at a loss. Not only because his surname was Pei, but also because he was Ruoqing.
The next afternoon, Pei Ruoqing carried her suitcase and sat in the car arranged by Pei Yansong. Pei Ruoqing had originally planned to take a taxi to the competition venue, but she was glared at by Old Master Pei. She retracted her words and said that he had actually left the taxi driver's number.
Pei Ruoqing picked up her room card at the front desk of the hotel. After putting her luggage in her room, she went to see Lin Zhengyang.
Pei Ruoqing knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a 15 or 16 year old youth. He looked rather handsome. When he saw Pei Ruoqing, he was stunned for a moment before revealing a smile." You must be the Pei Ruoqing that Teacher Lin was talking about. It just so happens that everyone is here. Come in quickly."”
Pei Ruoqing nodded and followed the youth into the room.
Lin Zhengyang saw Pei Ruoqing and smiled." Ruoqing, come quickly.”
Pei Ruoqing obediently stood beside Lin Zhengyang.
The few youths and young ladies in the room all turned to look at Pei Ruoqing. There was no other reason than the fact that this youth who had just entered was simply too outstanding. What was even more stunning was the indifferent and elegant temperament he exuded. The only young lady in the room blushed as she carefully looked at Pei Ruoqing's face.
"Teacher Lin, is this little brother also here to participate in the Go competition?”
Lin Zhengyang nodded." That's right. He's also here to participate in the Go tournament. Ruoqing, introduce him to each other."”
The few of them nodded. The young man who had just opened the door said," Hello, my name is Yi Zheyu. I'm fifteen years old this year.”
"My surname is Li, and my name is Hao. I'm seventeen this year.”Another ordinary-looking young man with black-rimmed glasses said as he held his eyes.
"My name is Zhou Mengyao, seventeen years old." The girl who asked the question just now said.
"My surname is Chen, Chen Jiebin, seventeen years old.”
"Zhao Pengfei, seventeen years old."
Pei Ruoqing nodded and said," Hello, I am Pei Ruoqing, twelve years old.”
The few youths looked at Pei Ruoqing in surprise. "You're only twelve years old. I was wondering why you looked like a child.”Yi Zheyu said in surprise.
Pei Ruoqing was speechless.
