After rescuing the desperate girl, I have no way to escape.

Pei Xingyan was nearly driven mad with rage, roaring several times. He truly didn't understand why the girl in front of him was so stubborn.

He could only repeat himself, but he couldn't persuade Su Shanshan to want to meet this "slut who flirts with babies online."

Pei Xingyan had no choice but to reverse his thinking, quietly move away from Su Shanshan, and dial Lu Yan's number.

If you can't persuade Su Shanshan, then explain to Lu Yan; I believe she'll understand that you have your difficulties.

But the phone just kept ringing for a long time before Lu Yan abruptly ended the call.

Then a message came in: "Begging for mercy won't work now. How dare you be so arrogant? I'm coming over right now to kill you. You'd better wash your ass and wait!"

Pei Xingyan slapped his face hard, thinking to himself, what kind of mess have I made? He was clearly the one who most wanted peace and was the most humble and modest, but now he was being labeled as "arrogant".

It's a miscarriage of justice!!!

It doesn't matter if she's wronged or not. Right now, Lu Yan definitely thinks that he was the one who said those words, and all she can think about is rushing over here.

He couldn't persuade the girl on this side, and he couldn't persuade the girl on the other side either...

Pei Xingyan was on the verge of tears, feeling that he might as well just give up or calm down.

He waited quietly, watching to see what trouble the two of them could cause. He would then confront them, give them a dressing down, and if either of them disobeyed, he would slap her across the face until she was dead!

Uh……

Pei Xingyan knew that he was just thinking about it; he definitely couldn't just hit someone. Even if the girl in front of him was soft and sweet, calling him "baby" all day long, he certainly wouldn't tolerate being beaten up. As for the girl in the distance, she was even more spoiled since childhood. She probably wouldn't accept being scolded by anyone, let alone being taught a lesson.

After much deliberation, he decided he should take the initiative and "surprisingly" recognize Lu Yan before a conflict erupted between the two of them. He could then enthusiastically introduce them, and with his reputation in the middle, perhaps a major conflict could be avoided...

Probably...

Pei Xingyan had figured out a plan, nodded to himself, and stared intently at the place where Lu Yan might appear, waiting for the girl who said she was going to come and kill him to show up.

Chapter 222 Protecting the Baby's Innocence?

Pei Xingyan carefully discerned the people coming from all directions. He and Su Shanshan were currently in the school square, which was open and unobstructed, so Lu Yan could appear from any direction.

He looked closely, carefully identifying every figure that resembled Lu Yan.

In Pei Xingyan's mind, Lu Yan was the kind of girl whose face was hard to hide in a crowd. Not to mention her face, which was actually very beautiful but always made to look like she had just come out of a tomb, her clothes alone were enough to make her stand out.

He figured that since Lu Yan said she was coming to kill him, she would definitely be wearing clothes that were easy to move in, like she usually did: a neat top with a loose vest over it, and long, wrinkle-free gray sweatpants. She would probably be wearing sneakers or boots.

No, it couldn't be boots. It's too hot. She wouldn't wear shoes that make her sweat so easily. Even though she always gets herself covered in dirt, it doesn't mean she doesn't like to be clean. She always has a faint fragrance about her.

Pei Xingyan nodded secretly, roughly sketching out what Lu Yan should look like now in his mind. He then quietly searched through the crowd, trying to "coincidentally" recognize Lu Yan before the two girls who liked to resort to violence met and stared at each other like peas in a pod.

"Baby, why are you rolling your eyes?" Su Shanshan leaned closer, asking curiously, "Are your eyes uncomfortable? I have some artificial tears here, I'll put some in for you~"

As she spoke, she took out eye drops from the bag she had been carrying lightly to her side and was about to put two drops on Pei Xingyan.

Pei Xingyan struggled to break free. He needed to find out where Lu Yan was, so how could he let the eye drops get into his eyes?

But Su Shanshan was unusually stubborn now. She exclaimed, "Baby, your eyes are so dry they're cracking! I'm going to take you to get checked for dry eye syndrome someday!" She climbed onto his body like a sloth, determined to put the eye drops in his eyes.

Pei Xingyan found it difficult to break free, and thought that Lu Yan shouldn't be able to arrive so quickly, unless she was lingering at the school gate every day, otherwise it would take at least half an hour.

So he had no choice but to comply, tilting his head back and waiting for Su Shanshan to drop the precious eye drops from her mouth into his eyes.

"Baby! You're too tall, I can't reach you~" the girl pouted and said, "Lower down a bit, how about sitting on that platform over there?"

"Can't I squat down?"

"Sit down for a while, rest for a bit~" Su Shanshan's coquettish skills had reached perfection, and she kept shaking his hand.

"Alright alright……"

"Hehe, baby is the best~ He's the most perfect boy in the world!"

The girl seemed to have no concept of shame; she could always come up with compliments that made people blush.

But what follows is behavior that makes people even more embarrassed.

As soon as she sat down, without saying a word, she placed Pei Xingyan's head on her lap.

"No, no, there are too many people, it's not appropriate..." he quickly refused.

"No, and what's wrong with seeing it?" Su Shanshan said. "Hurry up, the fastest way is to be a good girl and I'll put the eye drops in and it'll be over~"

Pei Xingyan thought to himself that it was indeed true, and with a determined heart, he buried his head in his hands and fell down.

The girl's thighs were delicate and soft. Even though Pei Xingyan's movements weren't forceful, they still stirred up ripples like water. The fleshy waves swayed gently, but when he pressed the back of his head against them, he couldn't feel any fat or excess flesh.

It's a wonderful feeling, like lying on a pillow of cotton.

Pei Xingyan was momentarily distracted, then instantly enveloped by the girl's delicate fragrance. Her hand gently pressed around his eyes, carefully but with a hint of pleasure, prying open his lower eyelids.

"Baby, did you know that you can't put eye drops directly on your pupil? You have to put them in the conjunctival sac of your lower eyelid so they'll be effective!"

Her tone was soft, and her eyes, which seemed to overflow with tenderness, looked at him as if she were truly talking to a "baby."

"Mm." He nodded gently and waited quietly.

A cool drop of liquid landed in his eye so fast that he didn't even have time to prepare.

The liquid in his left eye was still searching for a place to flow when he felt Su Shanshan's delicate little hand on his right eye. In just the time it takes to breathe, medicine also dripped into his right eye.

"Quick, quick! Blink!" Su Shanshan commanded urgently, afraid that the medicine would flow out of her eyes.

Pei Xingyan then carried out the order and mechanically blinked his eyes at a fixed frequency.

He looked up at the sky, but suddenly Su Shanshan's face appeared in his field of vision. Even from such a terrible angle, it didn't affect her at all; she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

"Oh, baby, why are you suddenly flirting with me like this?" She covered her face dramatically, pretending to be shy, and said, "If you keep flirting with me like this, I won't be able to resist wanting to kiss you."

She said she "couldn't help it," but her actions showed that she "didn't help it at all."

As soon as she finished speaking, her kiss landed on Pei Xingyan's forehead.

Pei Xingyan was utterly speechless. He even suspected that this whole thing was a setup by the girl to take the opportunity to kiss him...

The girl offered a kiss in an affected manner, then covered her face in an affected manner, blushing to herself.

But slowly, as if she had thought of something, she gradually stopped her self-amusing behavior, her mood became dejected, and she even whispered "I'm sorry" to herself.

“Baby, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on taking pictures of you and posting them online, you definitely wouldn’t have been harassed by these shameless guys.” Her voice was low, and she sounded genuinely remorseful. “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have had that thought of showing off how wonderful you are…”

Pei Xingyan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although he couldn't understand the girl's thought process, no one could question her sincere heart.

Based solely on this sentiment, he couldn't bring himself to blame her.

Not to mention he wasn't hurt in the slightest, except that the shocking photo really startled him and did cause him some psychological distress...

He raised his hand, wanting to offer a few words of comfort.

But then, Su Shanshan suddenly perked up again. She clenched her fists tightly and said as if making a vow, "So don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and protect your honor and innocence. When that shameless guy comes later, I will definitely teach him a lesson! I'm not afraid even if it means we have to fight!"

Pei Xingyan's hand froze in mid-air. He realized he was right; the girl's thought process was truly extraordinary, beyond the comprehension of anyone but a genius...

Remembering his important matter, he struggled to get up, wanting to act according to his plan.

His eyes stung slightly and he couldn't open them fully, but Pei Xingyan didn't need to see very clearly; he could just rely on the clothes to make sense of them.

The square was bustling with people, but there wasn't a single girl dressed in "smart sportswear".

Pei Xingyan was temporarily relieved, thinking to himself that he had really scared himself; how could Lu Yan have arrived so quickly?

But it seems that the goddess of fate has turned into her wicked self again today, reverting to the one who enjoys deliberately tormenting the pitiful.

A familiar female voice came from nearby, carrying a hint of jealousy.

"I knew someone was being so rude. Turns out he'd forgotten who he was while lying on a girl's lap!"

Pei Xingyan turned his head and realized that he had made a mistake in his calculations from the very beginning.

The person standing before him was none other than Lu Yan, but she wasn't wearing clothes suitable for sports; instead, she was dressed more like a formal banquet gown.

It was as if she wasn't there to "lecture" someone, but rather to go on a date.

Chapter 223 We're childhood sweethearts!

Pei Xingyan never expected it to be like this; he truly never anticipated anything like it.

He hadn't expected Lu Yan to be wearing such a formal dress, nor had he expected her to arrive so quickly, as if she had been wandering around the school the whole time.

Of course, what he least expected was that Lu Yan would have such a resentful tone. She spoke with a sour taste in her mouth, like a child who longed for other children to have toys while she didn't.

However, these were not his main concerns at the moment. Even without turning his head, he could feel the intense hatred emanating from Su Shanshan beside him, as well as her restless desire to utter some highly aggressive words.

Although Lu Yan wasn't discovered immediately, it's never too late to mend things.

Pei Xingyan practically sprang up from the platform like a spring, rushing towards Lu Yan with swift, aggressive movements, as if he were about to pounce on her.

Lu Yan's angry face was also startled by the commotion. She stared blankly at the person in front of her, wondering what he was going to do.

"Oh my!" Pei Xingyan exclaimed, "Isn't this Xiaolu? What are you doing here?"

He looked both surprised and delighted, as if he was happy to see her arrive.

Lu Yan stood there dumbfounded, completely unprepared for his reaction.

Her expression had completely changed, now only showing a hint of shyness. She turned her head slightly, her voice no longer as forceful as before, "What...what are you saying? Didn't you call me over to chat with me..."

Pei Xingyan quickly shook his head slightly, hoping to stop her from talking.

But this usually energetic girl seemed lost in her own world, laughing softly and shyly as she spoke, and most importantly, she didn't even look up at him.

He could only abruptly interrupt Lu Yan and continue with his own plan.

Pei Xingyan rushed back and pulled Su Shanshan up. The girl's face had turned quite pale. She was clenching her teeth so hard that it looked like fire was about to burst from her face.

"Shanshan, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Lu Yan." He introduced her gently, then urged, "We used to be very close, so hurry up and say hello to her."

The first step of the plan has temporarily come to an end. Pei Xingyan has found himself caught in the middle. He hopes that no matter what happens, at least these two unpredictable girls will spare him any violence or scratch each other's faces for his sake...

Su Shanshan was stunned for a moment, looking the girl up and down. She suddenly felt a bit anxious and her first reaction was to tightly hold the baby's arm next to her, making a protective gesture.

"Hello~" But her voice was full of sweetness. Su Shanshan waved her other hand gently as she greeted the uninvited guest, "I'm Su Shanshan, Bao Bao's girlfriend!"

Although she has suppressed her aggression, she still needs to assert her dominance. Su Shanshan is wary of any woman around her baby, let alone such a beautiful girl.

The shyness on Lu Yan's face slowly disappeared, as if the last three words, "girlfriend," had provoked her.

She turned Su Shanshan's gaze back and also looked this girl up and down, who was considered exceptionally beautiful even among beauties.

Lu Yan smiled coldly, deliberately leaving Su Shanshan aside. She only spoke to Pei Xingyan, replying to his earlier introduction of her, "It's not about how good our relationship was before, but how good it is now. To be honest, it's even better now than before, right?"

Pei Xingyan gave an awkward laugh, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Actually, what she said wasn't entirely wrong. Before, they could be considered one of each other's few friends, or even frenemy friends, but now they were practically life-or-death friends. After all, not everyone gets to experience rescuing someone from a group of thugs...

Lu Yan finally smiled after receiving the recognition. She then turned to the girl who had been protecting Pei Xingyan behind her like a protective shield, raised an eyebrow, and casually asked, "Hello, my name is Lu Yan."

There were no extra words, no further indication. It was as if Lu Yan was simply offering a polite greeting to someone she actually disliked at the banquet, someone she had to greet out of politeness.

But that was enough, at least in Pei Xingyan's eyes. He didn't want them to have any excessive interaction.

"By the way, you were the one who insulted me just now, right?" Lu Yan suddenly brought up the cause of the incident, her face full of provocation.

“Little Deer…” Su Shanshan hesitated for a moment before suddenly realizing that there was a reason this girl was here. She abruptly ripped off her sweet facade and retorted, “So, you were the guy who was flirting with other people’s babies online just now?”

Pei Xingyan thought to himself, "I'm done. Neither of the girls is stupid. In fact, they're both a bit too smart. They can figure out what just happened with a little thought."

His first line of defense has been breached.

Before he could even step forward to say something to mediate, the anger between the two girls was already ignited.

"Flirting?" Lu Yan sneered. "I don't think we can be considered flirting, right? When we met, you didn't even know Pei Xingyan existed!"

Normally, Su Shanshan would definitely go into berserk mode right now, and might even reveal other aspects of herself, or even directly reveal her brutal "Martial Saint" personality.

But things are different for her now. From her perspective, she and her baby had a sweet past when they were young, and they could definitely be considered childhood sweethearts. Their current relationship could be considered destiny. She wouldn't panic to the point of losing consciousness because of such a small challenge.

"Really? I don't think what you said is quite right~" Su Shanshan deliberately waved the hand that was tightly holding Pei Xingyan's, as if she had mentioned it countless times in front of Pei Xingyan, and brought up their past once again.

She said, "Baby and I have known each other for a long time, you could even say we're childhood sweethearts. Ms. Lu Yan, aren't you being a little arrogant?"

Su Shanshan made no attempt to hide her attitude, and her words were directly barbed.

At any other time, Lu Yan would have already gotten angry and stood up.

But now, there wasn't a trace of anger on her face, not even a superfluous expression. She stared blankly with her mouth open, slowly moving towards Pei Xingyan with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot, her eyes even looking at him with a pleading look.

Pei Xingyan certainly understood what she meant.

Anyone who knows him and his past knows that the boy named Pei Xingyan always had a cute girl following him around like a little shadow. The two of them are a perfect example of childhood sweethearts in Li Bai's poem.

However, everyone knows that the girl's name is Ye Ziwei, not Su Shanshan.
