Picking the stars - Chapter 71

Song Wei didn’t say anything for a long time. After a long time, she asked, “No, after I fell asleep, you have been thinking about how to say these things.”

Pei Ji was silent for a while, suspecting that Song Er was mocking her for being slow and unable to express. It would take a long time to come up with such a confession.

She stretched out her hand to turn on the light, opened the quilt and got out of bed, not wanting to understand Song Er.

But she only took a few steps, and Song Wei stopped her behind him: “Pei Ji!”

Pei Ji stopped and turned around, Song Wei stopped her, but didn’t know what to say.

Thank you, it seems too strange. I like you too, I’ve said it too many times. Song Wei looked at Pei Ji for a long time before saying, “I’m so hungry, I want to eat.”

“Get up.” Pei Ji dropped a sentence, turned and left.

Song Wei looked at her back, always feeling that the professor was smiling.

They slept for more than three hours, and they woke up almost seven o’clock, it was too late to cook for themselves.

Before Song Wei had time to express his opinion about what to eat, Pei Ji took her out and led her into an alley where there was a restaurant. Pei Ji had obviously booked a table early in the morning.

Song Wei just needs to follow her. They entered the private room and Pei Ji ordered a few dishes directly. Song Wei didn’t have to do anything. Pei Ji knew what she liked to eat.

The lady boss looked very kind, she was surprised when she saw Song Er, but she just smiled and said nothing.

Waiting for the food to come up, Pei Ji took two tickets from the bag, pushed them to Song Er, and said, “Let’s wait and see this.”

Song Wei slept, was in good spirits, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to take a look at the ticket. It was an opera. She was a little surprised and looked at Pei Ji. When Pei Ji saw her looking over, he hesitated for a while, and added: “Okay?”

Song Er nodded: “Okay.”

Pei Ji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and she put the two tickets away.

It just happened that the first dish came. Pei Ji pushed the plate in Song Er’s direction.

This restaurant is not big, but the food is surprisingly delicious. Song Wei was on a diet, but couldn’t help eating a little more, and then complained about Pei Ji: “You took me to eat delicious food. If Sister Zhizhou knows that I am so undisciplined, she will definitely scold me.”

Pei Ji looked at her, but didn’t quite understand: “You are very thin.”

Song Er said: “You won’t lose weight by being on the mirror.”

The restaurant is very close to the opera house. Pei Ji obviously arranged it. It must be the day she said she was coming back, she went to make arrangements.

Song Yi didn’t want to control diet anymore, she didn’t want to waste Pei Ji’s mind.

The professor doesn’t like to watch opera. For her, going to the theater to see an opera might as well stay in the laboratory and observe the cells overnight.

She would offer to watch the opera only because she thought she would like it.

When they came out of the restaurant, Song Er asked: “Is it because that night, when we were chatting, did I talk to you about microbes and the immune system?”

Pei Ji did not deny: “You know what I like, and I should know what you like.”

But during the chat that day, the professor didn’t mention it at all. In the past two days, she didn’t say that there would be such a surprise. Even when she took out the tickets just now, she didn’t mention how difficult it was for her to buy tickets.

She knew that this play was a tour, and each show would go on sale three months in advance. She wanted to watch it last year, but she didn’t buy a ticket, and she was busy, so let’s forget it.

She told the professor that she was coming back the day before yesterday. It took only two days, and she must have spent a lot of effort to buy two tickets with a seat.

But she didn’t mention a word, as if her hard work was not worth mentioning, only her like was the most important.

“Why are you so good?” Song Wei walked by Pei Ji, wanting to kiss her.

But Pei Ji didn’t think she was good. If she was really good, she wouldn’t make Song Wei cry.

“If you don’t like it, you have to say, we can come out and don’t have to sit in it.” Song Er reminded her that if an opera is so long and not interested, it would be really torture to watch it.

Pei Ji said: “No, don’t worry about me.” As if to reassure Song Er, she explained, “I have done detailed homework.”

Song Wei put on a little makeup. After entering, several audience members recognized her, but everyone just smiled and focused on the performance.

As expected, Pei Ji looked very attentively, Song Er paid attention to her from time to time at the beginning, and was relieved later.

In fact, there are a few places that Pei Ji can’t understand, and she is very deliberate. If she doesn’t understand, she would really like to understand. After the show, she asked Song Er for advice about the meaning of those scenes and some lyrics, but she didn’t understand it.

Song Er found the professor who asked for advice humbly was particularly interesting, and explained to her as he walked out.

With a little touch, Pei Ji understood. She sighed for a while: “It’s a tragedy.”

When she was in school, she would also read some academic works, but she had almost no knowledge of film and television dramas, let alone more niche performances such as talk operas.

Some ordinary people seem to have special plots that can make Pei Ji marvel for a long time.

“The protagonist’s ending is destined, and his character determines that there must be a tragic ending between them.” Song Wei explained to her.

Pei Ji said twice.

Song Er thinks this kind of professor is particularly interesting, like an old man trying to accept new things.

As they walked out of the theater with the flow of people, Pei Ji looked a little unwilling and said: “It doesn’t necessarily depend on personality to determine the ending of a relationship…”

For example, she is so withdrawn, so difficult to understand some emotional things, so dependent on Song Er, but she knows that she likes Song Er and does not want to be separated from her, she will change herself and try to adapt. As long as she likes Song Er enough, her flawed character will not affect their future.

But these words were too long, and Pei Ji hadn’t sorted out the sentences yet, and Song Er suddenly said: “There are paparazzi.”

Pei Ji immediately forgot what he wanted to say, and was so nervous, she asked, “What should I do?”

Song Wei comforted her: “It’s okay, just treat it as a friend out to play, let them take a good photo.”

“Okay.” Pei Ji agreed, but was still nervous. She noticed that Song Wei was standing a little apart from her, as if it was no different from just now, but she felt that Song Wei had become rusty and polite between her and her.

Pei Ji knew that it was necessary to deal with paparazzi. It was not that Song Er was really unfamiliar with her. She cooperated with Song Er’s guidance, as if she was really just an ordinary friend of Song Er’s. By chance, she went out to watch a show together. After getting out of the car, she didn’t help Song Er to open the door as usual, nor did she wear a seat belt, so she did very well.

It was just that after getting in the car, she was still a little sad, she couldn’t tell what was sad, but she felt empty in the bottom of her heart, and no longer had the ease and joy just now.

She comforted herself in her heart: “It doesn’t matter, the kitten is still mine, we are just acting.”
