Chapter 121 Good Night, Boyfriend

Seeing this message, Pei Yanchuan was stunned on the bed.

【Is Cici still awake? 】

【I'm playing Candy Crush (′∪`●)ゝ】

Before Pei Yanchuan could continue asking, she continued sending messages.

So you want to make a video call?

Pei Yanchuan subconsciously touched his face, but felt cold sweat on his hands.

[Sorry, wait a moment.]

After sending the message to the girl, he quickly got out of bed and walked quickly to the bathroom.

In the mirror, the man's face was pale under the incandescent light, his hair was wet with cold sweat, and he even looked a little disheveled.

Pei Yanchuan pursed his lips and leaned against the sink to tidy up his hair.

Looking at his still trembling fingertips, he lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

After a long silence, he walked towards the living room, took out the medicine bottle from the bag again, poured out a pill and put it into his mouth. The bitter taste spread on the tip of his tongue.

The first video with Cici...

He didn't want to mess it up.

This is a special case...

Yang Cici was halfway through playing the game when news about Pei Yanchuan popped up on the top of the screen.

【alright. 】

She blinked, turned over, and called Pei Yanchuan to invite him.

The video was quickly connected. In the dim room, a man was sitting on the bed. The night light on the bedside illuminated his angular facial features, casting a shadow. His nose was high and his eyebrows were deep.

The man seemed to be uncomfortable with the angle of the video call. His eyes were a little evasive and his lips were slightly pursed.

Yang Cici had video chatted with Yu Jing a few times before, but she had never video chatted with anyone late at night.

She rested her chin on the pillow, leaned closer, and stared at the screen eagerly.

"Can you see me?"

The dim night light shines on the girl's profile. Her amber eyes are clean and pure, her fair face is almost touching the screen, and her voice is soft in the night.

She looks as cute as the kitten peeking out of her profile picture.

Pei Yanchuan was slightly stunned, then he narrowed his eyes and gently stroked the screen with his fingertips: "I can see it."

The man's deep voice came through the headphones, becoming more and more magnetic, as if he was speaking right into his ear.

Yang Cici touched her ears, tilted her head against the pillow, and said with a smile: "Why don't you lie down?"

"Now lie down."

Pei Yanchuan lay back in the quilt, his eyes fixed on the girl across the screen.

Being stared at like this by him, Yang Cici blushed, "Don't keep staring at me."

"Why?"

"Because this is the rule of the video call." The girl made up a story. "I'm calling you a video call, so you have to listen to me."

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Pei Yanchuan would hang up, so she called again, "No! If you hang up, I won't answer!"

Pei Yanchuan tilted his eyes slightly, "No, I'll listen to you. Then where should I look?"

“…”

Yang Cici blushed and shrank into the quilt, "Then just look at me."

Pei Yanchuan laughed softly.

Yang Cici's ears felt a little itchy because of his laughter, so she raised her hand to touch them.

Looking at the man on the screen, she blinked and suddenly spoke:

"Pei Yanchuan, it seems like we are in an online relationship."

Pei Yanchuan was stunned when he heard these words.

The absurd and strange dream from last night resurfaced in my mind.

In the dream, it seemed that he and Cici also met online.

He came back to his senses and whispered, "Would Ci Ci have an online romance?"

"Online love?" Yang Cici really thought about it seriously.

In his previous life, Pei Yanchuan pursued her offline. If he confessed his feelings to her online...

She looked at the man's handsome, almost perfect face and narrowed her eyes. "You never know. If my online lover is handsome and rich, maybe I'll agree."

Pei Yanchuan subconsciously asked, "How handsome do you want to be?"

Yang Cici spoke seriously, as if she was thinking about something:

"Hmm...like the CEO of Pei Corporation."

Hearing this, Pei Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Perhaps it is because the atmosphere created by the night is too beautiful, or it is because the ambiguous factor of the night is quietly at work, making people's emotions uncontrollably.

After a long silence, his Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly spoke slowly:

"So...can we just pretend to be in an online relationship now?"

Now it was Yang Cici's turn to be stunned.

Under the night sky, the man opposite the screen looked at her intently and expectantly with his beautiful peach blossom eyes. No matter how well he disguised himself, the tension in his eyes revealed his emotions.

She stared quietly for a few seconds, then spoke with a smile.

"Sure, how do you want to pretend?"

Pei Yanchuan didn't expect the girl to actually agree, and a hint of surprise instantly appeared on his face. He even wanted to sit up from the bed subconsciously, but then he held back.

He pursed his lips, his eyes slightly shining. He hesitated for a long time holding the phone before asking in a hoarse voice, "Can I call you...baby?"

Pei Yanchuan rarely calls her by this name. Usually, he calls her Cici.

Because of their relationship, calling him baby is too weird.

Although they do things similar to those of a couple, they are not a couple after all.

So Pei Yanchuan had always called them by these names secretly.

For example - when a girl is crying, when you pretend to be drunk, when you are in bed.

After hearing the man's request, Yang Cici couldn't help laughing: "Who would ask their girlfriend if it's okay like this?"

That's fine.

But when this moment really came, Pei Yanchuan didn't know what to say.

He swallowed nervously, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth, his voice a little hoarse: "Baby, I want to kiss you..."

I want to kiss her openly like a boyfriend.

At this moment, the inner desire finally had the opportunity to be expressed.

Even though he knew it was impossible, he was satisfied just to be able to say it like this.

Yang Cici blinked and looked at the man's face on the screen. She suddenly moved the phone forward, put her lips close to the camera and kissed him, her voice soft and obedient.

"I miss you as well."

Pei Yanchuan was completely stunned by the girl's sudden action. His heart seemed to be filled with something warm, which made his whole heart tremble slightly. He felt warm and wanted to cry.

His long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and he imitated the girl's movements and leaned in to kiss her.

I love it...

I really like porcelain...

He brought the phone closer and said in a gentle voice, "Baby, aren't you sleepy?"

Yang Cici snuggled in the quilt, blinking her eyes. "I came here to coax you to sleep. Didn't you say you couldn't sleep?"

Pei Yanchuan traced her cheek with his fingertips, and said softly, "It's okay, go to sleep. I'll sleep later too."

"Really?"

"real."

He paused, then whispered, "But can the video be left hanging?"

"Sure." Yang Cici used something to prop up her phone and said with a smile, "This way you can see me, but you should go to bed soon."

Pei Yanchuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After a pause, he whispered again, "Good night, baby."

Yang Cici lay on her side on the pillow, closed her eyes and spoke slowly:

"Goodnight, boyfriend."

In an instant, Pei Yanchuan's breathing stagnated, and his whole body felt like it was struck by an electric shock. A tingling sensation spread throughout his body. His eyes shook slightly, and the hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.

After a long time, the man slowly covered his face with his hands, and an imperceptible blush appeared on his ears.
