But at that moment, Pei Yanqing suddenly looked up and saw Pei Jingchuan.
The smile on his face froze instantly, he quickly stood up, appearing somewhat anxious and uncomfortable.
"Oh, Yanqing, why did you stand up?" Yuzhu looked at Pei Yanqing, slightly puzzled.
Pei Yanqing looked at Yuzhu, then glanced at Pei Jingchuan, seeming somewhat conflicted and at a loss.
He swallowed, his gaze flickered as if he was trying to conceal his anxiety and awkwardness.
"I...I'm going to my room." Pei Yanqing's voice was soft, like a child who had just been caught with a secret.
Yuzhu watched his hurried departure with puzzlement, but didn't ask any further questions, only smiled softly.
Pei Jingchuan came over, took a seat next to Yuzhu, and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"It appears you and Yanqing are getting along well now," Pei Jingchuan chuckled.
Jiang Yuzhu also smiled, but it was clear that she too had sensed the awkwardness from Pei Yanqing just now.
