Chapter 141 IF - Pei Line (15): Would you be willing to let me fall in love only for you...

Yun Zhan kissed her for a while, thinking that it should be about time.

But as soon as her lips left, Pei Yanxi's eyes immediately filled with disappointment. She parted her red lips slightly, her eyes filled with reluctance, and leaned forward to steady Yun Zhan.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Yun Zhan heard Pei Yanxi's murmur...

"not enough."

“Yun Zhan…” Pei Yanxi held Yun Zhan’s nape, her fingertips gently caressing the sensitive skin there.

"Not enough."

After the kiss ended, Pei Yanxi lowered her head again and precisely captured Yun Zhan's swollen lips, kissing them once more, deeper and more tenderly.

This time, Yun Zhan did not resist. Instead, he closed his eyes resignedly, his eyelashes trembling slightly under the intense sensory stimulation.

This kiss was more aggressive and deeper than any before.

Pei Yanxi still held Yun Zhan's nape firmly with one hand, while her other hand slid down her slender arm and precisely grasped her slightly cool fingertips.

Before Yun Zhan could react, her hand was pulled by a force and reached inside her clothes.

The rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other was amplified infinitely in the quiet alley. Pei Yanxi held Yun Zhan's hand with one hand, and with the other hand lifted the hem of her shirt, pressing that slightly cool palm against her chest.

"Your hands are cold, don't move... I'll warm them up for you."

"!"

Yun Zhan slightly widened her eyes, her palms covered by a layer of fabric: "Senior... I'm not cold."

"It's just through my clothes, but my chest hurts. Could you rub it for me?"

Pei Yanxi opened her eyes, which were filled with desire, and stared intently at Yun Zhan with her shimmering pupils.

"You get cold too..."

Yun Zhan's face turned as red as if he had been burned, and he tried to pull his wrist back forcefully.

This action went too far and completely exceeded the limits she could accept.

However, her struggles were so futile under Pei Yanxi's control. Pei Yanxi not only did not let go, but instead gripped her hand even tighter.

“Didn’t you know medicine before? You could just treat me as your patient… I was scared, I was nervous… I was afraid.” Pei Yanxi knelt down in front of her, her eyes red, almost kneeling down.

Yun Zhan pursed his lips, and after a while, he found the acupoint on Pei Yanxi's chest and gently rubbed that spot for a while.

Gently, round and round, Pei Yanxi's hand remained around Yun Zhan's side throughout. She didn't directly grab Yun Zhan's hand, but only wanted to prevent her from escaping.

Is it ready?

It's okay now...

"Let's go to the hospital first and get your arm wound treated; it'll get infected." Yun Zhan took off his coat and draped it over Pei Yanxi.

Pei Yanxi's coat was stained with blood and could no longer be worn.

“Okay.” This time, Pei Yanxi obediently agreed.

The emergency room was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. Yun Zhan stood to the side, watching Pei Yanxi sit on the treatment bed, and his muddled mind finally regained a bit of calm.

Everything that happened in the nightclub and alley was like a dream, absurd, passionate, yet so real that it stirred her heart.

"Take off your shirt, let me see the wound."

The doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties, speaking in a flat, businesslike tone.

Pei Yanxi nodded expressionlessly, then deftly raised her hand, hooked her fingertips around the hem of her clothes, and pulled it up cleanly.

The stark white overhead lights of the emergency room poured down without reservation, illuminating the skin texture that had just been hidden in darkness.

A smooth, firm V-line, a flat stomach—every inch is like a meticulously sculpted work of art, full of powerful and wild beauty. The visual impact is far more direct than the tactile sensation in the dark.

Yun Zhan's pupils contracted slightly for a moment.

It felt as if something had unexpectedly burned the softest part of my heart.

Just one second.

Yun Zhan turned her head sharply, her gaze almost frantically fleeing the area. Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and fiddled with it, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.

"hiss……"

Pei Yanxi gasped as she was stung by the iodine. Yun Zhan instinctively turned around, only to bump into her gaze. There was no pain in those deep eyes; instead, they were filled with a knowing, meaningful smile.

Yun Zhan clenched his fists and awkwardly looked away.

The doctor secured the last piece of gauze with medical tape, his movements swift and efficient.

"Alright, it's just a minor injury. Don't get it wet, and remember to change the dressing on time."

As she tore off her disposable gloves, she instructed Yun Zhan, who had been standing silently beside her, "Come back at this time tomorrow and change them again, or you can buy some iodine-soaked gauze and change them yourself when you get home."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Yun Zhan nodded.

After the doctor left, only the two of them remained in the examination room, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Pei Yanxi slowly pulled down her clothes, covering the view that was making Yun Zhan uneasy. She jumped off the examination bed, her movements so light that she didn't look injured at all.

Yun Zhan looked at her and finally couldn't help but speak, his tone carrying a hint of worry that he himself didn't realize: "You hurt someone so badly, and you got injured yourself... What are you planning to do after this? Won't the school... cause you trouble?"

"I did it on purpose."

Pei Yanxi casually tossed out four words.

Yun Zhan was stunned: "Huh?"

Pei Yanxi did not answer immediately.

She walked to the chair next to her and sat down, leaning back with her legs crossed, her posture relaxed and languid.

The bright light of the emergency room outlined her delicate profile and slightly raised chin. Her deep eyes were half-closed, with the corners slightly upturned, like a fox lazily licking its paws.

"When you fight, you always have to see some blood, and it's more interesting when it gets big."

Pei Yanxi turned her head and looked at Yun Zhan: "I have a bit of a reputation in Yuedu. I just injured someone and I was injured myself. The police will come and handle it."

Yun Zhan's mind raced as he tried to understand the deeper meaning behind her words.

Pei Yanxi seemed quite pleased with her bewildered expression, and slowly added, "After all, only in this way can they have a sufficient pretext to conduct a 'thorough' search of that nightclub, right?"

Yun Zhan's breath hitched, his voice tinged with doubt: "You and the police... you've conspired together?"

Yun Zhan laid out his suspicions in full: "You deliberately injured yourself to make a big scene, just to create a perfect excuse for the police to intervene legitimately and use them to... take down your opponent."

The moment she finished speaking, a lazy smile bloomed in Pei Yanxi's eyes, as bright as fireworks suddenly rising in the dark night.

She raised her hand, her slender index and middle fingers joined together, and playfully flicked them in the air towards Yun Zhan, making a light snap.

Bingo!

She smiled brightly, her voice filled with undisguised appreciation and pleasure: "Absolutely right."

There was no embarrassment at having one's scheme exposed, only admiration for Yun Zhan's keen sense of smell.

Looking at her bright and confident face, and the confident light shining in her eyes, Yun Zhan's chaotic thoughts settled down and finally settled into two words.

admire.

Yun Zhan didn't say it aloud, but in his heart, he silently murmured in an almost sighing tone: "So ruthless, and so... formidable."

21 said, "Actually, you can probably make that connection, given your intelligence."

Yun Zhan replied quietly, "What I admire is not the way she set up the scheme, but her connections. The police aren't stupid. After helping Pei Yanxi get rid of this rival, Pei Yanxi's power will also increase. What I admire is her ability to persuade the police to help her willingly."

Pei Yanxi could manipulate everything with ease. Yun Zhan looked at her and said sincerely, "You're amazing. It seems like... there's nothing you can't handle."

This is not flattery, but a heartfelt admiration.

Whether it's her keen business acumen, her leadership in managing a school effectively, or her decisiveness when taking drastic measures, Pei Yanxi demonstrates impressive abilities.

However, upon hearing this praise, Pei Yanxi's smile suddenly faded, and something more complex was flowing in her deep eyes.

She lowered her crossed legs, leaned forward slightly, and her posture changed from languid to focused.

"There are also things that are difficult to handle."

Pei Yanxi's voice softened, carrying a faint sigh.

"Um?"

Yun Zhan asked casually, assuming she was referring to a more troublesome problem in the business world.

Pei Yanxi did not answer.

She simply raised her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on Yun Zhan.

Under such silent gaze, Yun Zhan's heart skipped a beat without warning.

Then, she heard Pei Yanxi's slightly hoarse voice say, word by word:

"I've got you."

The air seemed to freeze.

Pei Yanxi's lips curved into a smile again.

“Yun Zhan… it will be more difficult to win you over.”

Just as Yun Zhan was lost in thought, Pei Yanxi leaned forward again, and gently took Yun Zhan's hand that was hanging by his side with her uninjured hand.

Yun Zhan's fingertips trembled. Before she could react, Pei Yanxi had already guided her hand to her warm cheek.

Beneath my palm lies incredibly delicate skin, smooth to the touch like the finest silk.

Pei Yanxi turned her head slightly and pressed that hand against her face, from her jawline to her cheekbone, and then to her slightly burning temples.

"They all said I was pretty and lined up to toast me."

Pei Yanxi's gaze remained fixed on her, her voice lowered, carrying a seductive huskiness, like a lover's whisper. In this way, she forced Yun Zhan to feel her presence and her warmth in the most direct way.

Do you think I'm pretty too?

This question, accompanied by the real tactile sensation under his fingertips, stirred up ripples in Yun Zhan's heart.

Her throat felt a little dry, and her gaze slowly slid from Pei Yanxi's deep eyes to her high nose bridge, finally landing on her full, red lips.

Reason is crumbling, but instinct is screaming.

Yun Zhan swallowed hard, then honestly revealed his true feelings, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible:

"You...of course you're beautiful."

Seemingly feeling that such a description was too pale, Yun Zhan unconsciously added, "Very sexy, beautiful...unusual."

The last four words were almost a sigh.

Upon hearing this answer, Pei Yanxi's smile finally blossomed completely, like a night-blooming cereus in the dark, with a breathtakingly beautiful color.

She gripped Yun Zhan's hand, tightening her hold slightly, and leaned closer, her warm breath almost brushing against his lips. In the gentlest of tones, she asked the question hidden deep within her heart:

"Then... are you willing?"

Her voice paused, each word sounding like poison laced with honey.

"Let me be your girlfriend, let me... fall for you alone."
