Chapter 166 The Resentful Fiancé in the Academy 8
With the person he missed in his heart, every day in the academy was a torture. Pei Shuchen had no choice but to devote himself to his studies and not allow himself any time to rest.
Pei Shuchen, who had finally waited for the long vacation and wanted to go home by carriage, couldn't help himself in the end and quietly changed direction to go to Jiang's house.
Along the way, Jiang Wan's name appeared frequently. People said that she was a man of both virtue and talent, beautiful and intelligent, which was why she could write such wonderful books. Or they praised Jiang Wan for her kindness, generosity and benevolence. The Jiang family did a lot of good deeds, and it was said that they had helped dozens of poor students.
The closer they were to the Jiang family, the more famous Jiang Wan's reputation became. When they arrived at the gate of the Jiang family and looked at the dense line of marriage proposals outside the door, Pei Shuchen's heart was filled with mixed feelings and he could no longer maintain his calm expression.
In the past, he was the only one who knew how good Jiang Wan was. Now, Jiang Wan was completely shining. She was so outstanding that she should let everyone know her talent, but Pei Shuchen couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
He wanted to turn around and get on the carriage to leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, he saw two familiar figures not far away.
From Pei Shuchen's position, he clearly saw Jiang Wan and Sheng Huaian chatting and laughing. He didn't know what Jiang Wan said, but Sheng Huaian suddenly laughed out loud. From beginning to end, his eyes never left Jiang Wan.
Such tenderness, as a man, he would understand this look.
Pei Shuchen looked at the harmonious atmosphere between the two, his lips pursed into a straight line, and a nameless jealousy quietly rose in his heart.
His eyes dimmed, and when he raised his head, he had returned to his normal appearance. Even so, Pei Shuchen couldn't help but quicken his pace, as if the jealousy in his heart would be alleviated a little bit if he broke the relationship between the two of them quickly.
"Long time no see, Sheng Huaian."
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Wan's body stiffened for a moment. After calming down for a moment, she slowly turned her head.
Now, Jiang Wan changed out of the academy's men's clothes, put on a green skirt, and wore a silver hairpin and pearl flower on her head. Even with a little makeup, she was still as beautiful as a flower and graceful.
Pei Shuchen knew that Jiang Wan was very beautiful, but when he saw her up close, he couldn't help but be shocked and speechless. But soon, the jealousy in his heart burst out again. Was Jiang Wan dressed so charmingly because she was going to meet Sheng Huaian?
What’s so good about Sheng Huaian!
Jiang Wan smiled and blinked at him quickly, clear and smart, "Wei Shiqing, maybe you can recognize who I am?"
Sheng Huaian thought he didn't know, so he stepped forward and explained enthusiastically: "Brother Wei, this is Jiang Wan! You definitely don't recognize her! When she was in the academy before, her martial arts skills shocked everyone. I never thought that Jiang Wan would be a girl. Later, when I saw her at the Jiang family, I was still hesitant to recognize her!"
Following his words, Jiang Wan laughed out loud at the right time, "Yes, yes, Sheng Huaian was stunned at that time, and made me laugh like crazy..."
Unfortunately, the good show performed by the two of them was not to Pei Shuchen's liking. He was so angry that his face turned pale, and his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles. After a long while, Pei Shuchen finally controlled his surging jealousy, pulled down the corner of his mouth lightly, and pretended to be casual and said: "Jiang Wan and I have had a good relationship since we were in the academy, so I naturally knew about it early on, so I don't need you to introduce it to me..."
Even though Pei Shuchen had tried to restrain himself, there was still a hint of gnashing of teeth in his words, and the atmosphere was a little stiff. Jiang Wan simply waved his hand and took the two of them back home as guests.
Sheng Huaian came here often and was very familiar with the Jiang Mansion. If he didn't have an honest face, Jiang Wan always felt that some of his actions of giving directions to Pei Shuchen seemed like deliberate provocations.
Jiang Wan has made a lot of good things recently. Jiang's parents are out busy discussing business, so he won't be able to see them for a while. Without his elders, Jiang Wan simply eats and drinks to his heart's content, and even steals a jar of good wine from his father's collection during meals.
The alcohol was so strong that Pei Shuchen and Sheng Huaian had no self-control. They seemed to be trying to compete with each other and forced themselves to get drunk and pass out.
Jiang Wan had no choice but to send someone back to their respective homes to inform them so as not to worry their parents. He went back to Sheng Huaian's home smoothly, but when he went back to Pei Shuchen's home, he was stopped by the servant beside him. Jiang Wan did not force him.
......
The room was filled with the aroma of wine. Pei Shuchen was sleeping, but in his daze, he heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, wake up..."
He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his blurry eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. After a long while, his vision gradually focused, and Pei Shuchen finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
"Jiang Wan..."
"It's me. Are you feeling better? Your parents said they don't want you to stay here any longer, so they sent someone to take you back. I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable on the way, so I brought you a bowl of hangover soup. Drink it first before you go back!"
The servant will definitely report the truth when he goes back. Even though the engagement has been cancelled, his son still has the audacity to go to the Jiang family. Naturally, Prefect Pei cannot afford to lose face in front of him. Jiang Wan has no choice. He originally wanted to spend some time with Pei Shuchen, but now he can only wait for Pei Shuchen to be free in the future and come over by himself.
"Go back?" Pei Shuchen's eyes were lost, his breathing was rapid, and his consciousness was blurred. He couldn't care about anything else now. He only knew that the person he liked was right in front of him. He had finally seen Jiang Wan, and he didn't want to go back.
"I won't go! I won't go!" Pei Shuchen rolled up the quilt and rolled directly into the bed. Seeing this, the servants who were serving him had to take off their shoes and get on the bed, carrying him on both sides and walking under the bed.
"Master, let's go back quickly. The master is still waiting at home."
"Yes, Master, if you go back late, the Master will be angry."
Pei Shuchen was drunk and confused, staggering and struggling, but his eyes never left Jiang Wan, and he muttered with grievance: "I won't leave, I don't want to leave, I want to stay with Jiang Wan..."
Pei Shuchen was tall and big, and it took two servants a lot of effort to steady him. Others wanted to feed him sobering soup, but Pei Shuchen kicked them away. Jiang Wan had no choice but to take on the task.
She held the sobering soup and said to herself: If Pei Shuchen dared to kick her, she would torture him to death!
When it came to the person he liked, Pei Shuchen lost his resistance. He smiled foolishly, his face filled with happiness, and his warm breath with a strong smell of alcohol sprayed on Jiang Wan's face. Jiang Wan turned his head away in disgust.
"Wei Shiqing, drink it quickly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to ride in the bumpy carriage."
Jiang Wan scooped up a spoonful of sobering soup and handed it to Pei Shuchen's mouth, but she didn't know what had offended him. Pei Shuchen's face darkened and he stared at her blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Wan felt increasingly insecure. She tensed her legs, ready for Pei Shuchen to run away. However, she didn't expect that her vision would go dark the next moment, and Pei Shuchen came over and gave her a big kiss on the face.
