Chapter 32

"Sister, my dad is looking for you."

Shen Heng didn't notice the undercurrent surging beside him and handed over the phone.

Only when the elders are at home will he call her sister.

Shen Yizhi retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened, and took the phone half a beat late, "Second Uncle...don't worry, I won't let Shen Heng touch the computer so late...Yeah, we are here with Pei Yanhe."

After a while, she handed the phone to Pei Yanhe, "Second Uncle is looking for you."

Second Uncle was a usually serious person, but he always got along well with Pei Yanhe. Sometimes she couldn't help but sigh that Chen Heng was indeed Second Uncle's son, as he was so consistent in liking Pei Yanhe.

Pei Yanhe didn’t answer it, but leaned his ear towards the phone in her direction, and naturally followed Shen Yizhi and called out, “Second Uncle.”

Shen Yizhi just held the phone for him. Because the distance was close, the fingertips holding the phone could even touch his earlobe. The touch was a little soft, like delicate marshmallows.

In just one second, the blood in the fingertips seemed to be ignited, and a tingling sensation flowed through them.

She drew her hand back uncomfortably.

Suddenly, the back of my hand was wrapped in a warm palm.

Pei Yanhe noticed her very slight movements and thought her hands were sore, so he supported her with his strength. His dark eyes were fixed on her, and he never stopped communicating with the person on the other end of the phone.

His scalp tingled under his stare. Shen Yizhi pulled back his hand that was sandwiched between the phone and his palm, avoiding his sight. This avoidance happened to meet the meaningful gaze of Shen Heng on the side.

She lowered her voice and said to him, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Heng quickly lowered his head towards the computer and said, trying to hide his mistake, "Nothing."

Shen Yizhi glanced at the garbled characters that quickly passed by on the computer screen and asked, "You live in Pei Yanhe's house just to play computer games?"

Chen Heng corrected her with a serious face, "It's not playing computer games, it's cracking programs."

Chen Heng has been fascinated by programming codes since he was a child. He has an extremely keen eye for computers, but he has no common topics with his peers.

Pei Yanhe is an absolutely recognized genius in the CS world. He is the goal he tries to surpass and the object of his admiration.

Shen Yizhi now seemed to understand why Shen Heng admired Pei Yanhe, and said with his chin in his hand: "No wonder you always stick to him, it turns out it's because of this."

Most of the Shen family members studied liberal arts, and they really couldn't find anyone to talk about the same topic with Shen Heng, so he could only find Pei Yanhe.

A bony hand stretched out in front of him. Shen Yizhi retracted his gaze, took the phone from his hand, and asked sideways, "Are you done?"

Pei Yanhe looked indifferent. After hearing her conversation with Chen Heng just now, he suddenly asked.

"What about you?"

Shen Yizhi didn't understand, "What about me?"

Pei Yanhe looked straight at her, "Your family likes me, what about you?"

The implication is, what about you? Do you like me?

His gaze was too direct and his questions were too sharp.

Chen Heng couldn't help but look up from the computer and glanced at them, but then quickly looked away for fear of being discovered.

Shen Yizhi opened her mouth and met his frosty eyes, but found that the three words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit them out.

In front of Cheng Zhuhan, she could say it easily.

Coming to Pei Yanhe was like being a witness in court, and he couldn't tell a single lie.

This was an emotion that even she herself couldn't understand.

Shen Yizhi frowned slightly and changed the subject without leaving any trace: "According to what you said, your family also likes me, then——"

She looked at him with her beautiful eyes curved, "Pei Yanhe, what about you?"

The same implication is, do you like me?

There was a rustling cool breeze in the villa, like a stream sliding over each other's skin, invisibly converging and blending, flowing and pulling the breath.

Pei Yanhe curled his lips, his tone sounding relaxed and casual: "What if I say I like it?"

"That proves that I'm very attractive," Shen Yizhi looked at him with clear eyes, "It doesn't matter even if you say you don't like it, it's because you have no taste."

Born into a wealthy family, he has never lacked money or love since childhood and is the treasure of the family.

This is her innate abundance and confidence.

Pei Yanhe lowered his head and chuckled, not in a playful way as usual, but with a hint of doting.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Yizhi asked in confusion.

Pei Yanhe made up a random remark, "I was thinking of the joke at today's meeting."

Shen Yizhi was skeptical, "Will someone tell you jokes during a meeting?"

Pei Yanhe: "Well, I'll take you to listen next time I have the chance."

"Okay."

Shen Yizhi responded frankly. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, he said, "That's fine, I'll be leaving. Shen Heng, don't play too late."

She leaned on her knees and prepared to stand up, but the soles of her feet felt numb as if they were being bitten by thousands of ants, and she froze there.

"Do you want me to help you?" Pei Yanhe watched her every move.

Shen Yizhi felt that there must be poison hidden in his gourd, and stubbornly refused, "No way."

She leaned against the corner of the sofa and stood up extremely slowly, the whole process was like a sloth, and finally she collapsed beside him with a painful expression.

After finishing, he did not forget to say proudly: "I don't need your help, I can do it too."

Pei Yanhe glanced at her, and after a long moment, he just said "Oh" lightly.

When Chen Yizhi's legs recovered, he stood up and prepared to leave, he put one hand in his pocket and followed him.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Shen Yizhi paused, "Are you planning to go out so late at night?"

Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes to look at her, his sharp hair hanging in front of his eyebrows, and uttered two words, "This is for you."

Chen Yizhi actually wanted to say that there was nothing good to give as he lived across the street, but when she thought about how dark it was, she swallowed her words.

They walked to her door one after another. Shen Yizhi did not forget the agreement made that month, and took the initiative to say something to him before closing the gate.

"good evening."

"Well, good night."

After Pei Yanhe returned to his villa, he noticed that another member of the Shen family who stayed in his house was sitting on the carpet, staring at him without blinking.

He slowly sat down opposite Shen Heng and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Chen Heng acted like a little adult and said earnestly, "Brother He, I'm a little worried about you."

Hearing this, Pei Yanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you worried about me?"

Chen Heng considered his words for a moment before saying, "I'm worried that you won't be able to catch up with Shen Yizhi."

“…”

Pei Yanhe was not at all flustered by having his thoughts exposed, and even had time to praise him: "You have a sharp eye."

Even at a young age, one can see the mystery.

Chen Heng closed the computer, "The expression my deskmate had when he was pursuing our class monitor was the same look you had when you looked at Chen Yizhi."

"Then tell me why I can't catch up with you?" Pei Yanhe was in a lazy state, as if he was just asking casually.

Chen Heng said seriously: "Because Shen Yizhi is a novice in love, you can't catch her if you chase her like this."

It seemed that if Pei Yanhe asked one more question, he would teach him how to pursue Chen Yizhi.

But Pei Yanhe ended the topic.

"Okay, I understand."

He patted Shen Heng's head and said, "Let's go. It's time to go to bed."

Chen Heng sighed helplessly, stood up and followed him upstairs. He was treating him like an ignorant child.

But he won't give up.

He must work hard to make Brother He his brother-in-law!
