If it weren't Hong Baobao pulling his ears, he would never let the other person do it. But since it was Hong Baobao pulling his ears, he wasn't disgusted at all. On the contrary, he thought it was quite nice.
Well, Jing Pei felt that this kind of action was a very intimate gesture.
After being pulled away by Jing Pei, Hong Baobao stopped pulling Jing Pei's ears and instead quietly nestled against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Jingpei's heartbeat was very rhythmic, and Hongbaobao quite liked listening to it. She felt that this was the closest she could get to Jingpei's heart.
If Jing Pei knew what Hong Baobao was thinking, he would probably tell her that she was already in his heart, and that was the place closest to his heart.
Hong Baobao struggled to get up, but Jing Pei stopped her, saying, "Baobao, stay with me for a while."
It was still quite early, so Jingpei thought it best to spend a little more time with Hong Baobao.
Hong Baobao said "okay" but didn't get up; she just lay there.
After some time, Hong Baobao stirred, raised her little face, and said to Jing Pei, "Peipei, it's time to get up, the sun is already high in the sky."
It was indeed getting late.
Jingpei really wanted to stay with Hong Baobao, but then he thought that they couldn't stay like this forever.
So Jingpei got up.
It was only after Jingpei got up that Hong Baobao remembered that she hadn't eaten the steamed buns she had bought earlier.
It's been so long, the steamed buns must be cold by now.
Hong Baobao couldn't help but tug at a stray lock of hair that had fallen from her forehead, looking rather annoyed.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Jing Pei asked.
Hong Baobao said, "I bought steamed buns when I came, but by now they must be cold."
She had originally come to wake Jing Pei up, but in the end, she completely forgot.
"It's alright, I'll go wash up first. Go downstairs and heat up the buns, we'll eat them later," Jing Pei said.
Hong Baobao nodded, and then went downstairs to heat up the steamed buns.
Jing Pei started washing up after Hong Baobao came downstairs.
After Hong Baobao went downstairs, she tested the buns and found they were indeed a bit cold. She took the buns out of the plastic bag one by one and then heated them up.
Jing Pei was quite quick; by the time he came downstairs, Hong Baobao had already heated up the steamed buns.
"Peipei, come on, have some steamed buns. These steamed buns are quite delicious; I specifically went to buy them earlier." But these steamed buns have been reheated once, so they might not taste very good anymore.
“Okay, let’s eat together,” Jing Pei said.
In Hong Baobao's memory, Jing Pei didn't seem to be a picky eater. Hong Baobao found a plate and used chopsticks to pick up the buns one by one and put them on the plate.
After Hong Baobao and Jing Pei finished eating the steamed buns, Jing Pei lingered for a while before going to work, while Hong Baobao went home first.
When Hong Baobao returned home, she saw Shen Ke as soon as she entered the door.
At this moment, Shen Ke was sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses, and reading a newspaper.
When Hong Baobao entered the room, she paused for a moment when she saw Shen Ke. Then, she walked up to Shen Ke and said, "Dad, good morning."
Shen Ke didn't look at Hong Baobao, nor did he say anything.
Although Shen Ke didn't say anything, Hong Baobao knew that Shen Ke was angry.
Hong Baobao awkwardly touched her nose, thinking to herself, "I didn't do anything, so why is my father angry?"
"Dad, um, have you had breakfast yet? Or, I'll go buy you some." Shen Ke didn't say anything, so only Hong Baobao was talking. She felt a bit awkward, so she thought of this topic.
At least, let's not let the atmosphere become this awkward.
As a result, no matter what Hong Baobao said, Shen Ke seemed to have not heard it at all.
"Dad, are you angry?" No matter what Hong Baobao said, Shen Ke ignored her, so Hong Baobao asked directly.
At the very least, she should ask him what exactly made Shen Ke angry, so that she could address the problem effectively.
After Hong Baobao asked the question, she saw Shen Ke move and then turn the newspaper he was holding over.
that's all?
Why don't they care about me?
This was the first time Hong Baobao had encountered such a situation, and for a moment, she was at a loss as to what to do.
"Dad, you read the newspaper first, I'm going upstairs now," Hong Baobao said.
After Hong Baobao finished speaking, she waited a few seconds. Seeing that Shen Ke still ignored her, she prepared to go upstairs.
As soon as Hong Baobao turned around, Shen Ke spoke up, "Went to Jing Pei's place again?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Baobao stopped in her tracks.
Well, now she understands why her father ignored her and why he was angry.
It turns out that her father was angry because she went to see Jingpei very early in the morning.
Hong Baobao pursed her lips, then turned around and hummed in agreement.
Shen Ke was indeed a little angry because Hong Baobao went to see Jing Pei early in the morning.
Even though Shen Ke knew that Jing Pei and Hong Baobao were in love, he couldn't stop them, and he certainly wouldn't try to stop them or do anything about it.
