Chapter 196 The Revolution Has Not Yet Succeeded
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, or perhaps because she was not used to sleeping in the same bed, Hua Lichu did not sleep well that night and woke up around seven o'clock the next morning.
When Hua Lichu finished washing up and went downstairs with her important belongings and backpack, it was only 7:30.
Since there was still some time before her 8 o'clock appointment with Pei Yi'an, Hua Lichu decided to wander around first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the lobby on the first floor, I saw Pei Yi'an sitting upright on the sofa in the corner.
"Pei Yi'an? How long have you been here? Why didn't you knock on the door?"
After a year apart, Pei Yi'an's once slightly childish face now shows signs of maturity.
His height hasn't changed much, still around 181cm, but his physique has become noticeably more robust.
Perhaps because he plays basketball often, his skin is not as fair as most researchers; instead, it is a bit dark. But it is precisely because of this that he exudes vitality and youthful energy.
Pei Yi'an grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth:
"I just arrived a little while ago. But you, you took such a long train ride yesterday, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Hua Lichu shook her head: "I'm not used to sleeping in this bed, so I can't fall asleep. In that case, shall we go out for breakfast?"
"go!"
Since we're in the capital, we definitely have to try the local delicacies.
Pei Yi'an suggested, "Have you ever had douzhi (fermented mung bean juice)? Why don't you try it?"
Hua Lichu paused, her expression hesitant: "Soybean juice? I've heard it tastes strange."
Pei Yi'an nodded: "But it is indeed a local specialty. Since we're already here, let's give it a try!"
Hua Li thought about it for a moment and decided to bite the bullet and give it a try.
The two arrived at a well-known douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) shop nearby. The shop was bustling with people and full of local flavor.
I randomly found a seat and ordered two servings of douzhi (fermented mung bean juice).
While Hua Lichu waited anxiously, the waiter quickly brought over two bowls of steaming hot soy milk.
Hua Lichu glanced at the dark green, thick-soup-like soy milk in the bowl, then leaned closer to smell it and discovered a peculiar fermented odor.
The smell is somewhat like sauerkraut, but not quite the same; it's always hard to describe.
Pei Yi'an had already taken a big gulp, and seeing that Hua Lichu was still hesitating, he urged her:
"Try it right away! It's delicious!"
After saying that, he took another big gulp.
You can tell he genuinely thinks it tastes good.
Hua Lichu carefully took a small sip. The texture was sticky, the taste was sweet and sour, and there was a faint bean flavor.
"yue~"
Pei Yi'an didn't expect Hua Lichu to react so strongly, so he quickly handed her a piece of paper and poured her a bowl of purified water to rinse her mouth.
"When your sister first tried it, she also didn't like it, but she didn't react as strongly as you. She just wasn't used to the taste. How about we don't drink it? I ordered something else."
Ke Huali firmly believes that since douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) can become a local delicacy, it must have its own charm.
"I might be unable to accept this taste for the moment because I've never tasted it before. Let me calm down and then I'll take another bite."
Even after trying another bite, she still couldn't accept it and had to give up.
"Forget it, it seems I really can't appreciate it."
Pei Yi'an smiled and said, "Everyone's tolerance for taste is different. It's okay. If you don't like douzhi (fermented mung bean juice), there are many other delicious foods here."
Fortunately, the other breakfasts were all quite to Hua Lichu's liking.
Pei Yi'an's eating movements were fluid and graceful, quite pleasing to the eye, making him seem somewhat out of place among those around him.
Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time Hua Lichu has eaten with Pei Yi'an.
When they came to the capital to participate in the competition together, both Pei's parents were there. The two families did not eat together, each minding their own business.
However, Hua Lichu did not have the habit of not speaking while eating or sleeping. In fact, in many cases, in order to save time, she could only discuss things with her family while eating.
"Pei Yi'an, did my sister tell you what I'm going to do today?"
Pei Yi'an swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a tissue:
"No. But I don't have any classes today, so I can spend time with you."
Hua Lichu leaned closer to Pei Yi'an, her face full of gossip: "You and my sister?"
Pei Yi'an's face flushed red, redder than a red apple: "Ahem!"
"Pei Yi'an, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. I'm my sister's only younger sister!"
The implication is: Think carefully before you tell the truth! If you make me unhappy, I'll go to my sister's place and ask her to intervene!
Pei Yi'an pleaded, "Please spare me! I can't say anything else, but I can say that the revolution is not yet successful, and Little Pei still needs to work hard!"
"Brother Pei, you're no good! It's been three or four years and you still haven't won the heart of your beauty."
Hua Lichu's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled down, and she even had the mood to joke around.
She had mixed feelings about Pei Yi'an.
On the one hand, she felt that it was quite remarkable that Pei Yi'an could persist for three or four years despite her sister's lukewarm attitude.
Moreover, Pei Yi'an has excellent personal qualities, family background, and career prospects.
However, as the younger sister, she couldn't help but feel jealous at the thought of her older sister being taken advantage of by a pig!
Therefore, her attitude towards Pei Yi'an was as fickle as the weather in June.
As a man, how could Pei Yi'an accept being told he was no good?
Even if it's my future sister-in-law, I can't!
"No, no, no, Pear, you don't understand. It's called a tug-of-war between your sister and me, you know? Well, you're too clueless to understand."
Fearing that Hua Lichu would expose his secret, Pei Yi'an quickly changed the subject: "What are you going to do today? Do you have any plans?"
When it came to serious matters, Hua Lichu said with a straight face, "I need to buy land and houses."
Pei Yi'an glanced at Hua Lichu in surprise: "Buy land? Buy a house? Where to buy?"
Hua Lichu parted her lips slightly and revealed her destination.
Pei Yi'an frowned: "Buy land there? That place is in the suburbs, isn't it? It's just a desolate, desolate place, practically a village."
Hua Li initially wanted to deny it, but at this moment, the capital city didn't even have the East Third Ring Road; the South Second Ring Road was only built because of the Asian Games.
The plot of land she chose was right there on the East Third Ring Road, which was basically a village.
"Hey, that's not quite right! If you looked at this place a decade or two ago, wasn't this spot right where we're standing now also a village? But look at it now."
Pei Yi'an thought about it and agreed: "Is it because you don't have enough money? I have some here, you can take it first."
"No, no, no! If you really want to help, then help me find out if there are any decent houses around here. Preferably somewhere between Tsinghua University and Yenching University, a courtyard house would be fine too..."
After hearing Hua Lichu's request, Pei Yi'an said, "I don't know much about this."
But I have a good brother who's from the capital and knows this area well. You eat first, I'll go back to school and get him."
Hua Lichu stared at Pei Yi'an, sensing that there was something more to his words.
Pei Yi'an winked playfully and said softly, "His family has connections in this area. If you want to buy a house or land, ask him for help. You can't go wrong with that."
As a result, when Pei Yi'an arrived at the douzhi shop with his men, Hua Lichu looked up and saw...
Oh, it's an old acquaintance!
