Chapter 85 Then Rest Here with Me
Just as she was thinking of this, the TV behind her suddenly played today's news report.
Typhoon Mundongruo hit today with great force, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to many areas. Traffic conditions in some areas were severely affected, and multiple rear-end collisions occurred, resulting in injuries. Residents should prioritize safety and minimize going out. If you do need to travel, please take protective measures and drive carefully to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
Yang Cici, who had just drugged someone: "..."
The weather was already bad, what should Pei Yanchuan do if he fell asleep in the middle of driving?
That's it.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, she quickly stood up, but in her anxiety she accidentally knocked over the water glass on the table.
"Bang--"
The cup broke on the ground, and the splashed broken glass scratched his ankle, leaving a blood mark on his fair skin.
The stinging sensation made Yang Cici gasp and sit back on the cushion.
Pei Yanchuan turned around when he heard the noise, and this was what he saw.
When he saw the bloodstains on the girl's legs, his pupils suddenly shrank. He quickly walked back, took out a piece of paper, squatted down and wanted to wipe the bloodstains on the girl's ankles. "Does it hurt?"
Yang Cici's face turned a little red, and she pulled her legs out of the man's hands.
"No, it's okay, it's just a little cut, it's nothing serious, I can handle it myself."
Pei Yanchuan froze, and an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.
He pursed his lips and stood up, "Okay, I'll sweep up the broken glass, you sit on the sofa first."
Yang Cici sat on the sofa and watched the man sweep up the broken glass.
Okay, it can be considered as staying in disguise.
Glancing at the wound that was still bleeding, she took out a tissue and wiped it, "I remember there's a Band-Aid in the room. I'll go get it."
"good."
Pei Yanchuan swept the broken glass into the trash can and then sat on the sofa.
He looked at the palm of his hand, remembering the girl's subconscious resistance just now, his eyes dimmed, then he frowned, lowered his head and pressed his eyebrows, his face a little tired.
When Yang Cici came out with the Band-Aid and iodine, she saw Pei Yanchuan sitting on the sofa rubbing his forehead.
She blinked, sat down silently on the sofa beside her, wiped the blood off her ankle again, applied some iodine, and then put on a Band-Aid.
Pei Yanchuan watched her movements, stood up, and said softly, "Put a label on the outside of the bag later, and I'll help you take it down."
Yang Cici looked up at him and after a long silence, she suddenly said, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Yanchuan was stunned and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But the girl spoke first: "I see that you don't look well."
Seeing he couldn't escape, he laughed helplessly, "Maybe I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. I haven't rested well these past few days, but it's nothing serious..."
"Then take a rest here with me."
Pei Yanchuan was taken aback by the sudden interruption, and the smile on his face froze, "...What?"
Yang Cici turned her head to look at the heavy rain outside the window. The tips of her ears, hidden under her hair, turned slightly red. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I say, if you're really tired, you can take a nap on the sofa first. It's raining heavily now, and the roads are not easy to drive on."
Pei Yanchuan stood there stiffly. A few seconds ago, he was still thinking about how to say "stay", but now all his thoughts were shattered by the words of retention, leaving only a blank.
The sleepiness seemed to disappear without a trace at this moment, and the surprise and disbelief in his heart made him wake up instantly.
In the dark night, the wind whistled outside the window and raindrops hit the window, but the house was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
After a long time, the man's low but restrained voice was heard.
"good."
Yang Cici clutched the pillow in her hand tightly, not daring to look at Pei Yanchuan's face, "Then I'll get you a blanket."
When she returned to the room, she immediately banged her head on the quilt and hit it twice in frustration.
I've done even more outrageous things before, but now I'm just inviting others to take a break, so why does it feel so weird?
She patted her hot face, exhaled, and said to herself, "Okay, who asked us to drug it?"
It is indeed unsafe to travel in this weather.
She brought out the quilt and placed it on the sofa. After meeting the man's gaze, she looked away slightly, pretended to turn off the TV naturally, and then picked up the bag on the sofa.
"You rest, I'll go back to my room and won't disturb you."
Seeing the girl return to the room, Pei Yanchuan picked up the quilt on the sofa, lowered his head and sniffed it gently, then lowered his eyes.
Smells so good.
He glanced at the heavy rain outside, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Cici's vigilance was even lower than he thought.
Yang Cici returned to the room, first threw the empty bottle into the trash can, and then lay on the bed to send a message to Yu Jing.
Yang Cici: [I went to see Sister Yu Si a few days ago and met her assistant. Do you know that assistant?]
Yu Jing quickly replied: "I know. That girl was studying abroad alone, and she's an orphan. She works part-time every day to earn a living. My sister saw how hard she was working, and since her major was a good match for my job, she hired her as an assistant."
Studying abroad? Orphan?
Yang Cici supported her chin and stared at the message for a while.
So what does all this have to do with Pei Yanchuan?
These days, she occasionally went to the clinic and never saw Pei Yanchuan. Instead, she often saw Li Xuanmeng.
Could it be that Sister Yu Si also knew Pei Yanchuan? But in her previous life, after knowing that Pei Yanchuan was her boyfriend, Sister Yu Si said nothing.
Is it intentional concealment or do you really not know?
"It's so complicated..." Yang Cici complained, put down her phone, closed her eyes and sorted out her thoughts.
But what is certain now is that Pei Yanchuan had been lying to her all along.
His identity, job, and background were all fake.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his mysterious money-making ability and drug-administering habits.
He has been dating me using a fake identity.
Why do these seemingly insignificant secrets make Pei Yanchuan so scared?
Just across the wall, the man full of lies was lying there, but even if she questioned him right now, he would probably look confused.
The glaring light shone down from the ceiling, and Yang Cici raised her hands to cover her eyes.
After waiting for a while, she picked up her phone to check the time.
Half an hour has passed, Pei Yanchuan should have fallen asleep, right?
"Squeak--" the door was gently pushed open.
Yang Cici carefully poked her head out of the room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the man on the sofa was still motionless.
Really fell asleep.
The rain outside was hitting the window violently, and the crisp knocking sound was particularly clear in the quiet living room.
Yang Cici walked to the sofa and slowly sat down on the cushion.
In the dim environment, the man's profile was angular, with a few strands of hair scattered in front of his eyes, long eyelashes drooping, a high nose bridge, clean facial features, and thin lips pursed into a beautiful arc. Under his collar, his cold white skin was like a layer of translucent jade.
Her usually gentle and refined temperament now adds a touch of softness, tenderness and tranquility.
Yang Cici supported her chin and stared at the man's profile in a daze.
It's amazing that she was the one who was knocked unconscious all along.
I never thought that one day I would see Pei Yanchuan lying here defenseless.
