Pei Zhiyu put her arms around Qin Hezhou's neck, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. The sound of kissing echoed in the small bathroom.

She replied, "Of course..."

Of course you can kiss.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Hezhou's body responded before his brain, and he put the remaining three words of Pei Zhiyu into his mouth.

Pink bubbles seemed to appear all around.

They were like a couple who had just confirmed their relationship, testing each other and kissing cautiously, with no unnecessary desire mixed in between their lips and teeth.

It's more like confirming each other's feelings through kissing.

Pei Zhiyu's body, which had not yet recovered, was not strong enough to support her standing on tiptoe for a long time. After her legs softened and she lost her balance, her body fell backward uncontrollably.

A large hand touched her waist, pulling her into his arms. Qin Hezhou continued the kiss with a smile. The slightly raised posture made his movements easier. With his other hand, he held Pei Zhiyu's neck. Not willing to be ordinary, he began to launch a fierce attack.

Pei Zhiyu couldn't stand it.

She was just joking around, but in practice she was always at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, Qin Hezhou could not withstand verbal provocation every time, but when it came to actual action, he was like a hungry wolf that smelled meat, ready to tear the person apart and eat him.

This strong contrast in him made Pei Zhiyu love and hate him.

When the kiss reached a fever pitch, she consciously leaned forward, revealing her slender neck and soft lips. If Qin Hezhou was a jackal, then Pei Zhiyu at this moment was probably the lamb willing to be sacrificed.

Her hand accidentally touched his newly sprouted hair stubble, which pricked her palm densely. The slight pain was mixed with itchiness, and in an instant it was like an electric current spreading through her limbs.

The heart is like an inflating balloon, expanding more and more, filling the entire chest cavity, and even wants to break out to see the lover.

A sudden storm came.

It wasn't until Pei Zhiyu could no longer breathe and her body subconsciously began to push her away that Qin Hezhou finally let her go. But he didn't immediately remove his arm from her waist. He looked at her as if she were a fragile treasure, afraid she'd drop it or get hurt.

Not cautious.

She was still gasping for air, desperately needing to take in oxygen. As her lips opened and closed, the warm breath hit Qin Hezhou's face, and he suddenly blushed.

Seeing this, Pei Zhiyu was stunned. Then he laughed again.

Qin Hezhou became even more uneasy because of her smile. Not only his face was hot, but his whole body was also hot. He himself felt confused.

"why are you laughing?"

Pei Zhiyu's eyes were curved with laughter, and the corners of his mouth kept rising. "Do you activate your immune function when you kiss others? Why didn't you feel anything when you kissed me, but you are shy now?"

Qin Hezhou was speechless.

How can I explain it? Actually, I did feel it when we were kissing, but I couldn't think at the time and could only continue according to my instinct.

Now that I've stopped, my brain continues to work, and naturally...

"You are still a little innocent." Pei Zhiyu teased him.

Qin Hezhou released her hand, letting her stand on her own. He curled his lips and retorted unhappily, "You weren't as aggressive as you are now when you kissed."

“…”

She was choked, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she liked the feeling.

This is what it means to be a couple, like in a romantic relationship, Pei Zhiyu thought, and from now on he would slowly change the way they get along with each other.

She wanted to have a pure love affair with Qin Hezhou.

Qin Hezhou seemed to have something else to say, but suddenly there was another knock on the door. He thought it was Zhou Yanli coming back, and clicked his tongue impatiently.

"Go and get busy first." Pei Zhiyu said.

She also thought that it was Zhou Yanli who came to urge her, thinking that it was probably Qin Mengzhi's matter, and she didn't want Qin Hezhou to be delayed.

He tidied himself up a bit, opened the door and took a look—

It wasn't Zhou Yanli, but his assistant.

Qin Hezhou frowned, his expression becoming even uglier. He said unhappily, "I've told you not to appear in front of her unless it's important."

The assistant naturally knew that Qin Hezhou meant "not appearing in front of Pei Zhiyu".

He explained nervously and anxiously, "It's about the explosion. The maintenance worker has been caught and he confessed."

Qin Hezhou tightened his grip on the door handle, his eyes clearly showing murderous intent. "I understand. Wait for me outside."

After saying that, he turned and went back into the room.

Pei Zhiyu seemed to have been prepared and handed a loose shirt to him.

"Change it and go again."

"Thanks."

"Didn't you say before that we are husband and wife, one flesh? So, I don't need your gratitude. You just need to know that I will always be by your side."

Pei Zhiyu's two light words conveyed endless energy to Qin Hezhou.

Compared to any other comfort, the three words "always" are better than anything else.

He nodded, and told Pei Zhiyu to have a good rest. Before leaving, Pei Zhiyu pulled his sleeve again.

She said, "I know you're angry, but don't be impulsive. It would be best if you could hand it over to the police. We can't afford to offend the Zhou family."

Qin Hezhou was stunned for two seconds.

She suddenly remembered that her image in Pei Zhiyu's eyes was still that of a down-and-out rich second-generation. The Zhou family's attempt to crush him was no different from crushing an ant, and she worried that her impulsiveness would backfire.

After a long while, he replied, "I will remember your words."

Pei Zhiyu smiled and nodded, "Well, I'll wait for you here. Tell me immediately if you have anything."

After leaving the ward, the assistant looked at Qin Hezhou's clothes and hairstyle and couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

When did Mr. Qin start wearing hooded sweatshirts and slicking his hair?!

Can I intimidate those people by acting like a college student?

It turns out that he can.

With a glare, the assistant immediately stopped daydreaming and began to honestly explain what he had found out.

The maintenance worker has been working with the hospital for a long time, so he found it right away.

That person was greedy and cowardly by nature. He would tell everything after just a few words of persuasion. Together with the testimony of the nurses in the hospital, everything pointed to Zhou Yanchu.

Qin Hezhou had guessed this a long time ago.

Zhou Yanli must have gotten the news, which is why he came to find him early in the morning.

I walked to the elevator door, but before I pressed the button, I saw the number getting closer and closer to this floor.

The next second, there was a "ding" sound and the elevator door opened. Zhou Yanli rushed out and grabbed Qin Hezhou and ran away when he saw him.

"What are you crazy about?" Qin Hezhou said angrily.

Zhou Yanli was panting, showing this panic expression for the second time since the day of the explosion.

"Aunt Meng! Something happened to her!"
