Chapter 53 Pei Yanchuan, can I hug you?
The girl on the sofa was still fast asleep. Pei Yanchuan was worried that she hadn't slept well last night and didn't want to wake her up.
He silently withdrew his hand, walked to the cardboard box, squatted down, put the things back into the box one by one, picked it up and walked towards the door.
Before opening the door, he turned his head and took one last look at the girl behind him, then put his hand on the door handle.
“Crack—”
"Pei Yanchuan."
With the sound of the door opening, Pei Yanchuan had just taken a step forward when a girl's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
His movements suddenly froze, and his neck turned backward mechanically.
"Ci Ci...did I wake you up?"
Yang Cici rubbed her eyes and sat up from the sofa, with a tired look on her face.
She yawned, wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes, and shook her head. "No, I woke up on my own."
She took the pillow beside her and her eyes fell on the box in the man's hand.
"Are you done?"
"Um."
"Aren't you taking this with you?"
Yang Cici was pointing at the puzzle on the table.
Pei Yanchuan paused and took a step back. He hid his face in the shadows, his jaw clenched, and his voice was a little hoarse, "That... I'll leave it to you."
Yang Cici pointed at herself and asked, "Leave what you fought for to me?"
"Um……"
She propped up her chin, stared at the puzzle for a long while, blinked, and said, "Isn't it a bit bad? After all, you spent the whole afternoon putting it together."
Pei Yanchuan heard the hidden meaning.
This means asking him to take this away.
He stood there holding the cardboard box, his body stiff, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty, trying to hold on a little longer, "It's okay, you can take it, I...I don't mind."
Yang Cici stood up from the sofa and then sat on the cushion below. She picked up the puzzle and looked at it.
"So this is what the finished effect looks like. It's pretty nice."
After that, she asked Pei Yanchuan, "What do you think? Does this look good?"
This picture was originally selected by Yang Cici herself. It is a picture of a brilliant starry sky.
Pei Yanchuan nodded twice, "It looks good."
"It looks good, why don't you keep it? You must think it's ugly, so you gave it to me."
“…”
Seeing the man silent and looking like he didn't know what to say, Yang Cici laughed out loud, "Just kidding."
She reached out and gently stroked the puzzle, then removed a piece from the corner.
Then he stood up and walked over.
Under the man's stunned gaze, Yang Cici narrowed her eyes and raised the fragments in her hand.
"Pei Yanchuan, I told you before that if this puzzle is completed, we will go on a trip together. Do you remember?"
"This agreement still stands. It can be used at any time and in any capacity. Even if we are not lovers, we can still be friends."
"So I will keep this puzzle forever. As long as you bring this piece to me, I will put it back together myself. Then we can go on a trip, okay?"
Pei Yanchuan stood there stupidly, his eyes blank, as if he hadn't reacted.
Yang Cici blinked, "Don't you want it?"
"I want it!" Pei Yanchuan spoke quickly, quickly put down the cardboard box in his hand, and carefully took the puzzle pieces from the girl's hand.
His fingertips were shaking, his head was lowered, and his voice was hoarse.
"...Can it really be used anytime?"
"Yes." Yang Cici nodded and said seriously, "Even if I have to work, I will take a leave to accompany you."
When she saw the red corners of the man's eyes hidden in the shadows, her smiling eyes slightly froze.
Then, as if sensing something, Yang Cici raised her eyelids and glanced at the door opposite.
In the silent silence, she suddenly spoke:
"Pei Yanchuan, can I hug you?"
The man looked up blankly, a look of confusion on his handsome face. "What?"
Yang Cici opened her hands, lowered her eyes under the light and spoke softly:
"As a friend, can't I give you a hug?"
Pei Yanchuan's pupils shrank, and he even forgot to breathe. All the blood in his body rushed to his head, and an emotion that was even more exciting and indescribable than last night surged into his head.
He didn't ask the reason, nor did he say yes or no. Instead, he took the initiative to take a step forward, bent down, stretched out his trembling hand, and gently held the girl in his arms. His eyes were red and he almost cried.
Yang Cici rested her chin on his shoulder and rubbed it slightly, as usual.
She narrowed her eyes, reached out and gently closed the door, then turned her head and whispered in the man's ear:
"Pei Yanchuan, don't lose the fragments."
She was answered by a man's trembling voice.
"……good."
In the living room separated by a door, Li Xuanmeng, who was studying Yang Cici's style with the system, was shocked.
The system's voice is all in my head.
[The male protagonist's yandere value is decreasing, please keep up the good work. ]
[The male protagonist's yandere value is decreasing, please keep up the good work. ]
[The male protagonist's yandere value is decreasing, please keep up the good work. ]
“…”
After three times in a row, it seems to have been reduced a lot.
Even worse than last night.
Li Xuanmeng was completely confused.
"System, your alarm is broken?"
【No, host.】
"Then why did it suddenly drop?"
【I don’t know, host.】
“…”
As if she had thought of something, Li Xuanmeng quickly stood up and walked to the door, leaning close to the peephole to check.
——And outside the door, there was nothing.

After seeing Pei Yanchuan off, Yang Cici put the puzzle away and placed it in front of the TV.
She sat on the sofa, staring at the puzzle in a daze.
Then he looked down at his fingers, hooked them lightly, blinked, and muttered.
"So Pei Yanchuan knew..."
Pei Yanchuan actually knew that he had secretly disrupted the puzzle.
She thought he hadn't noticed.
Yang Cici sighed, the man's low, hoarse, and trembling voice still lingering in her ears.
She fell on the sofa, put the pillow on her face, and complained:
“So annoying…”
Why is this male protagonist Pei Yanchuan?
I'm living a good life, why do I have to have this strategist?
What's even more annoying is why Pei Yanchuan always hides it from me.
If you liked me, why did you agree to break up in the first place? Why didn’t you say you wanted to get back together?
Yang Cici punched the pillow in frustration.
"Bad guy!! You say you like it when you're kissing, but you don't say anything when you're not kissing!!"
Why do you always avoid her? Is she forbidden from knowing anything? Is it because she doesn't look trustworthy?
Pei Yanchuan even said he wanted to marry her! That was a lie!
He's not honest at all. I don't want to marry him!
After venting her dissatisfaction, Yang Cici lay on the sofa and reorganized her thoughts.
In the novels she read, the yandere male protagonist only liked to be close to the female protagonist when he was sick.
Pei Yanchuan also likes to stick close to himself when he is sick.
Actually, this is not bad.
Thinking of this, Yang Cici happily hugged the pillow.
But suddenly the system's voice rang in my ears.
[Host, you said this mission was difficult, but you didn't do anything, and Pei Yanchuan's yandere value dropped. Isn't this just a casual completion?]
She blinked and slowly sat up.
If Li Xuanmeng's strategy succeeds, will Pei Yanchuan not get sick again?
So things like yesterday and today will never happen again.
She didn't even have the chance to contact Pei Yanchuan.
Yang Cici's eyes darkened and she buried her face in the pillow.
“I don’t want to…”
She didn't want this to happen.
