Dandy Pill God-Chapter 184: Wonderful Misunderstanding

"Really? Are you lying to me?" Tang Mengyun looked at him doubtfully.

She re-examined Zhu Fei, her cute nose twitched, and the jade hand that had instinctively grabbed Zhu Fei’s arm tightened again.

"Zhu Fei, then... then you must remember to be careful in the future, okay? Don’t let me worry about you like that again, alright?"

Seeing the nervous, serious, and hopeful expressions that now appeared on Tang Mengyun’s face, she almost resembled a young wife at home, worrying about her husband.

Her utterly adorable and naive appearance made Zhu Fei’s heart warm once more.

"Mm, I will," Zhu Fei nodded solemnly to Tang Mengyun.

At that moment, Zhu Fei decided silently in his heart that no matter what, he would protect this girl in the future—the girl who seemed a bit wilful, a bit proud, but actually cared and concerned about him a lot.

"Hmph, that’s more like it."

Tang Mengyun tilted her head back and hummed softly, the corners of her mouth curving instinctively into a pretty arch, revealing two charming dimples.

"Let’s go, we’ll go out and buy groceries together, and when we come back, I’ll cook for you. Oh, Zhu Fei, when registering your college preferences, which university are you considering?"

While Tang Mengyun spoke, she took Zhu Fei’s arm without waiting for a response and naturally linked arms with him.

"Um, I haven’t decided yet. What about you, Mengyun? Which school are you thinking about?"

Zhu Fei had just opened the front door, and as the two of them walked downstairs together, he turned his head, smiling, and asked.

"Me?" Tang Mengyun tilted her chin, not thinking too hard, and directly answered, "I’m probably going to Donglin University in Northeast Province, majoring in Financial Management. It’s what my parents and aunt have suggested."

"Donglin University in Northeast Province?"

Zhu Fei was taken aback for a moment. He hadn’t expected that Tang Mengyun would choose Donglin University as her college preference.

It wasn’t that Donglin University was a bad choice—on the contrary, it was known as one of the key universities.

What surprised Zhu Fei was that Donglin University was located in Donglin City—exactly where Shen Yuyan and Xu Ping lived. What a coincidence.

"Yeah, Donglin University. What’s up? Is there a problem?"

Tang Mengyun saw Zhu Fei’s stunned expression and couldn’t help but ask, puzzled.

"Heh, no problem," Zhu Fei shook his head and chuckled.

After a brief thought, he made up his mind and said to Tang Mengyun as they walked, "Since you’re considering Donglin University, then I’ll also go for Donglin University. It’d be good for us to have each other’s company."

"Really?"

Suddenly, Zhu Fei felt Tang Mengyun’s arm around his tighten once more.

As he turned his head, he saw the look of surprise written all over her beautiful face.

She looked at Zhu Fei somewhat dazedly and couldn’t help asking again subconsciously.

"Zhu... Zhu Fei, are you really planning to apply for Donglin University?"

As she spoke, it was as if she had thought of something, and she frowned slightly, pulling a face, "But the admission scores for Donglin University are probably not low. Zhu Fei, your... your exam scores...?"

Seeing Tang Mengyun’s expression at this moment, Zhu Fei immediately understood what was on her mind, which made him feel somewhat bemused.

"I say, Miss Tang, don’t you look down on people a bit too much? Doubting me or what? Are you worried I won’t be able to get in?"

Saying this, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but knock on Tang Mengyun’s forehead somewhat annoyed.

Indeed, Zhu Fei was quite confident in his ability to score well enough for Donglin University, based on his performance in the college entrance examination.

Even if he did somehow fall short, he still had the backing of the three elders of Tiannan. If he really wanted to attend Donglin University, a word from Song Yan and the others would make it happen.

Moreover, Zhu Fei had never even considered the possibility of not getting into Donglin University with his college entrance examination scores. Such a scenario was simply out of the question.

Seeing Zhu Fei so confident in his past examination scores, Tang Mengyun didn’t know why, but the slight anxiety she had been harboring in her heart suddenly dissipated.

However, on the surface, she still showed a bit of unwilling acceptance and said, "Pssh, keep dreaming, you. Just be careful not to be in a panic when the scores come out."

...

In this way, the two chatted and bantered as they soon finished buying groceries and then went back to Zhu Fei’s house together.

After Tang Mengyun personally cooked and they had finished a delicious meal, Zhu Fei wiped his mouth with a laugh and said to Tang Mengyun,

"By the way, Mengyun, do you have something like a jade pendant on you?"

"Jade Pendant? What for? No, I don’t have one. Why?" replied Tang Mengyun, confused as to why Zhu Fei would suddenly ask her such a question.

"Oh, well, let’s go buy one for you later," Zhu Fei said with a smile, without explaining.

"Buy one for me?" Tang Mengyun was somewhat baffled. She glared at Zhu Fei, and her pretty face couldn’t help but blush.

"That... that Zhu Fei, how did you know I like jade pendants? And... and how did you know that today I was thinking about buying one?"

Indeed, Tang Mengyun had always liked to wear jade pendants since she was young.

Moreover, not long ago, the jade pendant she had always worn was lost during an outing. She had planned to check on the situation at Zhu Fei’s today and then go buy a new one.

But how could Zhu Fei possibly know about this? She hadn’t told anyone at all.

Hearing Tang Mengyun’s words at that moment, Zhu Fei broke into a sweat internally and was somewhat taken aback.

In reality, he had no idea about Tang Mengyun’s preferences, let alone her plans to buy a jade pendant.

The reason he had asked about the jade pendant was that he intended to make an amulet for Tang Mengyun.

Since Tang Mengyun just said she didn’t have one, Zhu Fei naturally blurted out that he would buy her one, with the plan to make her an amulet upon their return.

But things have a way of happening by chance, and thus a wonderful misunderstanding was born.

"Hehe, it’s nothing. I was just guessing," Zhu Fei deliberately sounded playful, as he obviously couldn’t tell Tang Mengyun the true situation, for he wasn’t a fool.

"Then... well, Zhu Fei, thank you," Tang Mengyun felt touched, as in her eyes, Zhu Fei must have already noticed her preference and even realized that the jade pendant she used to wear was gone. So that’s why he thought of buying one for her.

Unexpectedly, Tang Mengyun’s heart suddenly felt a little sweeter.

She didn’t wait for Zhu Fei to do anything, nor did she notice the slight astonishment in his eyes. Instead, she eagerly took the initiative to start cleaning up the tableware, her face blushing as she said to Zhu Fei,

"Zhu Fei, you sit for a while. I’ll wash these dishes, and then we can go out together."
