Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Watermelon Eating Warning

Startled by Cheng Yue’s rebuke, Pei Yuyan was also taken aback.

She hurriedly apologized, slightly at a loss, while simultaneously berating herself for being too rash, especially her reaction upon hearing that Xia Xue was Zhang Yang’s girlfriend’s cousin. She could feel how exaggerated her reaction had been.

This was completely inappropriate. She really was a failure as a gossip, to make such a basic mistake. Would Zhang Yang be angry?

At the crucial moment, Zhang Yang stepped forward; if he hadn’t intervened then, Pei Yuyan might have really panicked.

Seeing that Pei Yuyan was so anxious she was almost crying, it seemed she would remember this for a long time.

Indeed, Zhang Yang had taken a risk on purpose earlier, letting Pei Yuyan find out these things by herself, to make her realize how terrible the consequences could be if the secret got out.

Zhang Yang pulled Pei Yuyan over and shielded her behind him, then said to Xia Xue and Cheng Yue, "Sister, it’s just her personality."

Pei Yuyan, looking at Zhang Yang standing in front of her, was incredibly touched.

Suddenly, she felt that Zhang Yang’s towering figure was very reassuring. No wonder so many beautiful women liked him.

Pei Yuyan, skilled at observing others’ expressions and studying their minds, failed to notice her own heart fluttering for Zhang Yang at that moment.

Upon hearing Zhang Yang speak, Xia Xue and Cheng Yue both paused, then in unison asked, "Zhang Yang, what’s with your mouth? Why are you speaking so unclearly?"

Looking at the concern in Xia Xue’s and Cheng Yue’s eyes, Zhang Yang also stuck out his tongue.

The sight startled Xia Xue, while Cheng Yue, being a doctor herself with a much stronger mental fortitude, also frowned deeply.

"What happened here? How did it get this bad?" Cheng Yue asked.

With her expertise, she could obviously see that the injury on Zhang Yang’s tongue was severe, and it hadn’t even been stitched up.

"Come on, follow me to the hospital."

After speaking, Cheng Yue immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yang’s hand, and intended to take him back for treatment.

Being Xia Xue’s close friend, Cheng Yue saw no issue with this.

Xia Xue, without giving it much thought, also grabbed Zhang Yang’s other hand, wanting to accompany Cheng Yue in taking Zhang Yang back.

But the two of them couldn’t budge Zhang Yang, which greatly annoyed Cheng Yue.

"What are you doing? Don’t you realize how severe this cut is?"

Xia Xue was also anxious, "Yeah, Zhang Yang, stop being stubborn. Let Yueyue take you back and have a look."

Watching Xia Xue and Cheng Yue show such concern for Zhang Yang, Pei Yuyan immediately concluded one thing.

These two women weren’t just pretending around Zhang Yang; they truly loved him.

Zhang Yang, how did you manage that? Impressive.

But before she could continue to watch the drama unfold, Zhang Yang suddenly pushed Pei Yuyan in front, signaling with his eyes for her to help clarify the situation.

Pei Yuyan, looking for a chance to make up for her earlier mistake, quickly began to explain for Zhang Yang.

She overlooked the incident with Sun Bingrou, merely saying it was an accident where Zhang Yang tripped and accidentally bit himself like this.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Pei Yuyan’s explanation; otherwise, if Xia Xue and Cheng Yue knew that Sun Bingrou had bitten him, they likely would have gone to settle accounts with Sun Bingrou together.

Thus, Zhang Yang surreptitiously patted Pei Yuyan’s buttocks to show his approval.

By now, Pei Yuyan had grown accustomed to Zhang Yang’s way of expressing himself and, coupled with her prior nervousness and guilt, accepted it.

"How could you be so careless?" Xia Xue said, her face a mix of reproach and concern.

Cheng Yue appeared puzzled. Even if it was a stumble, it shouldn’t have been this serious.

Zhang Yang and Pei Yuyan both noticed Cheng Yue’s puzzled look.

Pei Yuyan could tell that the cut wasn’t self-inflicted, and if Cheng Yue took a closer look, she would definitely realize it too.

In order to prevent Zhang Yang from revealing too much, Pei Yuyan, who was even more anxious than Zhang Yang, hurriedly said, "You know, I was a bit over the top just now. Let me treat you all to dinner today, as a way to apologize, all right?"

Hearing Pei Yuyan say this, Xia Xue of course didn’t mind.

Especially since Zhang Yang had also given an explanation just now. Maybe that’s just Pei Yuyan’s personality.

"No worries, don’t mind it. I was the one who suggested this dinner anyway. You are Zhang Yang’s senior, and I will need your help to look after him in the hospital from now on. Now that we know each other, I’ll pick up the tab."

Pei Yuyan waved her hands continuously, "No, no, no, let me do it."

The two of them actually started competing for the bill until Cheng Yue, annoyed, said, "What’s all this fuss about eating, Zhang Yang isn’t in condition to eat much anyway."

Xia Xue and Pei Yuyan were both momentarily stunned, then remembered Zhang Yang’s condition. Indeed, he couldn’t eat much, and hotpot was definitely out of the question.

But at that moment, Zhang Yang said, "It’s okay."

Then he gestured with his hand.

Unfortunately, neither Xia Xue nor Cheng Yue understood what he meant; only Pei Yuyan quickly acted as the interpreter.

"He said he can have the mandarin duck pot. He’ll just have vegetables boiled in water and some noodles."

Xia Xue and Cheng Yue were both surprised as they looked at Pei Yuyan, "How could you understand what he was gesturing right away?"

Pei Yuyan was stumped by the question, and didn’t know how to respond as she could indeed understand it.

Luckily, Xia Xue and Cheng Yue didn’t inquire any further.

Xia Xue asked Cheng Yue, "Can he eat the boiled vegetables?"

"Yes, eating more dietary fiber can help with his recovery," Cheng Yue confirmed.

"Alright, then let’s go for hotpot!" Hearing that it would help with Zhang Yang’s recovery, Xia Xue decisively agreed.

And so, Pei Yuyan unexpectedly joined the dinner.

This made Pei Yuyan both embarrassed and uneasy.

She even slightly regretted coming down with Zhang Yang today, but now it was too impolite to leave.

And what made her even more embarrassed was that, once they arrived at the restaurant, Xia Xue and Cheng Yue, to avoid any impropriety, did not sit next to Zhang Yang. Instead, it was she and Zhang Yang who ended up sitting together on a long bench.

Pei Yuyan of course understood the mindset of Xia Xue and Cheng Yue; both of them probably wished they could sit next to Zhang Yang.

But now, with everyone having their own concerns, they instead dared not do so.

Pei Yuyan, now less anxious than when she arrived, resumed her role as an excited spectator.

Wasn’t this just the kind of scene she loved to watch?

Seeing Pei Yuyan about to get excited again, Zhang Yang directly placed his hand on Pei Yuyan’s smooth and shapely thigh.

Today, Pei Yuyan wore a professional pencil skirt and flesh-colored stockings, which felt incredibly silky to the touch.

Being touched on the leg by Zhang Yang like that, Pei Yuyan couldn’t get excited anymore.

She hurriedly slapped Zhang Yang’s hand away. Zhang Yang was being too bold, flirting with her in front of Xia Xue and Cheng Yue?

But soon, Pei Yuyan realized Zhang Yang’s intent.

Whenever she got too enthusiastic about observing the situation, Zhang Yang’s hand would come up, as a warning to her.

Pei Yuyan was speechless, but she was truly scared.

Especially since, after she calmed down, Zhang Yang did not remove his hand but kept it there nonchalantly on her leg.

The intense nervousness and excitement made Pei Yuyan involuntarily clamp her legs together.

Because she felt that she seemed to be losing control and starting to "flow."
