Chapter 2 Let's Break Up
The barbecue restaurant was packed, the surrounding tables were full of people, and there were even people queuing outside.
Yang Cici sat next to Pei Yanchuan, eating barbecue, the sound of chatting still ringing in her ears.
She heard the unfamiliar female voice sigh.
[I have to say, this male protagonist is even more handsome than in previous worlds, and judging by his appearance, you can't tell he's a pervert at all. This is too normal.]
The system's cold voice was mixed with a hint of helplessness.
[Host, have you forgotten? The more perverted they are in disguise, the more dangerous they are. Please don't be fooled by appearances.]
[Don't worry, remember, I'm just sighing, but this time it's a bit troublesome, I have to take action when that girl is not around.]
The system suggests an idea: [If you're really anxious, why not quietly tell that girl that your boyfriend is a deviant and ask them to break up as soon as possible?]
[Wow, system, this method of yours is really good! Otherwise, I'll go tell her right now that your boyfriend is a pervert and break up with him immediately. You can't handle it, let me do it.]
The woman's tone of exclamation was full of perfunctory and contempt, and she was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the system's proposal.
As the girlfriend herself, Yang Cici: "..."
After hearing so much, she roughly understood the whole story.
It seems that the novel world I live in is still a novel of redemption.
The time traveler comes specifically to capture this type of yandere male protagonist.
And the target of this mission...
Is it Pei Yanchuan?
She put down her chopsticks and turned to look at the man next to her with curiosity.
Is this what a yandere is like? It's not what she thought it was.
After all, in her memory, Pei Yanchuan has always been gentle.
Noticing her gaze, the man tilted his head in confusion and put a piece of meat on her plate.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Cici opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly, her eyes froze and she subconsciously looked around.
After a few seconds of silence, she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and shook her head, "It's okay."
She lowered her head to eat, her soft long hair falling from her shoulders and almost onto the plate.
Noticing the change in the girl's mood, Pei Yanchuan's eyes changed slightly.
He reached out and helped her lift her hair, letting the soft hair pass through his fingertips.
"Ci Ci, can I help you tie up your hair?"
Yang Cici glanced at him while chewing meat, then tilted her head and pulled her hair away.
"don't want."
In an instant, Pei Yanchuan's hand froze in mid-air.
The fragrant hair slipped through my fingers, as if something had suddenly slipped out of my control.
Staring at the girl's fair profile, Pei Yanchuan trembled his eyelashes slowly and heavily, and other thoughts emerged uncontrollably in his mind.
...did I say something wrong?
Or... discovered?
Or was it just too obvious in the elevator?
But he had clearly endured it for so long.
Hot, burning anxiety churned in his chest and stomach, and he took a deep breath, the curve of his mouth trembling.
"Ci Ci, you..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"Your name is Pei Yanchuan? Nice to meet you. I'm Yang Cici's good friend, Yu Jing."
“…”
Pei Yanchuan paused and slowly turned his head.
He didn't say anything, his dark pupils were cold and dead, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
A needle-like chill ran from her spine to the back of her head, and her strong desire to survive made Yu Jing subconsciously shut her mouth.
But soon, the feeling of danger disappeared.
The man curled his lips slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he was wearing the most perfect mask.
"Hello, Miss Yu." He said slowly, "Ci Ci often tells me about you. I'm very happy to meet you."
“…”
Are you really happy?
Yu Jing couldn't describe how she felt right now.
She felt a strong sense of disharmony from Pei Yanchuan.
The man in front of him was mature and steady, and his every move exuded an elite temperament.
But beneath this hypocritical and gentle appearance, she vaguely felt a dark, anxious beast that could explode at any time.
Yu Jing's thoughts were swirling in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said:
"Just call me Yu Jing. I was shocked when I heard that Yang Cici was in a relationship. Today I finally met her in person."
She didn't want to chat with Pei Yanchuan, so she quickly looked at Yang Cici and said jokingly:
"Ci Ci, we agreed to be single together, but I didn't expect you to betray the organization first."
Yang Cici didn't know what she was thinking. She raised her head and blinked when she heard that.
She suddenly said, "Can I break up now and return to the organization?"
Yu Jing thought she was just joking and continued to tease, "Wow, really? You actually gave up your boyfriend to be with me. I'm so touched, but still..."
"Really? I just want to break up too."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Cici.
The next second, the girl turned her head and spoke to Pei Yanchuan word by word, her tone not sounding like a joke at all.
"Let's break up, Pei Yanchuan."
Yu Jing: “…”
Wait, wait a minute...
No, this isn't right, is it?
And she didn't know if it was Yu Jing's illusion, but as soon as she said this, she even felt that the passers-by dining around her became quiet.
In the restaurant, the originally noisy chatter suddenly became quiet, and there was a strange atmosphere.
The air became thick and heavy, as if water could be squeezed out of it.
The countless gazes from behind were like thorns in the back.
Yu Jing had a decent smile on her face, but she was already cursing in her heart.
What are you looking at? Are people nowadays so enthusiastic about eating melons?
But what concerned her more was... Pei Yanchuan's expression at the moment.
The man sat quietly in the chair, the shadows around his eyes growing darker, his entire face shrouded in a low pressure, the gentle smile in his eyes dissipated, replaced by bottomless darkness and surging dangerous black violence.
His jawline was tense, as if he was suppressing something, and his fingertips were nervously clasping each other, turning white and even drawing a bloody mark.
Noticing this detail, Yu Jing's right eyelid twitched.
If the left eye twitches, it means wealth; if the right eye twitches, it means disaster.
Thinking of this ancient spell, she felt increasingly uneasy.
He quickly spoke up to ease the situation: "Ci Ci, don't joke around. You've made me look like the one who broke up a couple. Okay, okay, didn't you say we were going to be introduced? Why are we breaking up just after we met?
Unexpectedly, her words did not relieve the tension at all, but instead made the atmosphere even more dead silent.
Yu Jing had cold sweat on her forehead and could hardly maintain her smile.
No, why did she feel like the waiters weren't coming to their place anymore? Could someone please break this impasse?!
Just as Yang Cici was about to speak, Pei Yanchuan gently grabbed her wrist.
The man's knuckles were long and distinct, his palms were damp, and his fingertips were cold, like the sticky and cold feeling of a snake coiling around him.
"Baby……"
He slowly lowered his head, his voice was hoarser than before, with a slow tone that was ambiguous, very light, and like the whispers of lovers.
"I don't like this kind of joke..."
Yang Cici pulled her hand away, but it didn't move.
She looked at Yu Jing who was winking at her frantically and blinked blankly.
What does Yu Jing want to say?
Yang Cici is a little unhappy now.
Thinking of what she had heard, she turned her head away sullenly, avoiding Pei Yanchuan's approach.
She didn't notice that the moment she dodged, Pei Yanchuan's eyes suddenly became dark.
After thinking about it, Yang Cici decided not to say anything too final.
"I want to go home, Pei Yanchuan."
The man quickly replied, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Yang Cici shook her head and said, "I want to go back with Yu Jing."
Pei Yanchuan looked at her quietly, without blinking.
After they stared at each other silently for a few seconds, he gently curved his eyes, his expression no different from before.
"good."
After sending them out of the car, the smile on Pei Yanchuan's mouth suddenly disappeared.
After staring at the departing car for a few seconds with an expressionless face, he turned around and went back to the barbecue restaurant.
The store was still in the same condition as when they left, even the cutlery was still there.
Or rather, even the customers in the store haven't changed.
After seeing Pei Yanchuan coming back, they stood up in unison.
If Yu Jing were present, she would have discovered that the customers at the tables around them were actually all actors.
The waiter in work clothes stepped forward, sweat dripping down his face as he trembled and said, "Master... We assure you that nothing happened before you came, and no other man approached Miss Yang."
Pei Yanchuan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and took off his glasses.
The gentle temperament faded away in an instant. The man lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and a few strands of hair scattered in front of his forehead, adding a bit of lazy and casual temperament.
He wiped his lenses carelessly, his expression calm, like the calm before the storm, his voice calm and steady:
"Which table of guests today is not arranged?"
Before saying goodbye, Yang Cici suddenly looked up and glanced around.
Then I started to reject myself.
“Crack—”
The force unconsciously increased, and the glasses broke into two pieces.
Pei Yanchuan let go and dropped it to the ground.
He raised his eyelids and glanced around slowly and emotionlessly.
"Find the list and send it to me today."
It's impossible for Yang Cici to break up for no reason.
Someone must have said something to her.
