Chapter 89 Not Angry, But Afraid
After the man finished speaking, Yang Cici fell silent.
She could clearly feel that Pei Yanchuan was being too proactive and abnormal this time.
She really liked this kind of Pei Yanchuan.
But that’s not right…
If she didn't know that Pei Yanchuan had no memory, she would have thought that it was the old Pei Yanchuan who had returned.
In his previous life, Pei Yanchuan was not like this. After they were together, he didn't even dare to mention kissing to her. Who made him become like this? Was it because of her kiss? Or was it because of that non-existent person?
Or maybe...is it because the raiders intervened?
The early appearance of the time traveler can affect the plot and may also make Pei Yanchuan's personality different from before.
This time the attacker didn't use perfume, and Yang Cici had no idea when Pei Yanchuan met the other party.
This fast-paced love made her feel scared.
She liked Pei Yanchuan's change, but at the same time she was afraid that Pei Yanchuan's change was not because of her.
If it was really because of the attacker, it would be better to return the previous Pei Yanchuan to her.
Yang Cici lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, pried the man's hands apart, and spoke softly:
"Too fast, Pei Yanchuan, let's talk about it later."
Hearing this, the man's eyes froze and his ears began to buzz.
Yang Cici took out her phone from her bag and said, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll order takeout. We don't have anything at home."
Pei Yanchuan didn't say anything. He stared at the ground in a daze, his fingertips trembling, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.
Rejected...
He was rejected...
Cici was lying to him, she had never considered him at all.
She didn't want him to take that man's place at all.
Thinking of this, Pei Yanchuan's blood seemed to turn cold in an instant.
Why...why? What's so good about that person?
The head felt like it was being pricked by needles, the tingling sensation continued to spread, and the nerves emitted sharp pain.
Pei Yanchuan's pupils gradually faded, and his consciousness became somewhat uncontrollable. He hurriedly clenched his trembling arms, the arc of his mouth raised forcefully and bitterly, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "I... I have something else to do, so I won't eat here. I just came to see you."
Hearing something was wrong, Yang Cici looked up.
When she saw the man's pale face, she was stunned for a moment and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Pei Yanchuan, are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Yanchuan turned his face slightly and avoided her hand.
The scattered hair obscured his disheveled face, his sharp jaw was tense, and his voice was dry, "I'm fine..."
Yang Cici was stunned and her hand stopped in mid-air.
She lowered her head, her eyes falling on Pei Yanchuan's trembling arm hanging at his side.
Once before, Pei Yanchuan asked her who she went to the restaurant for dinner with. After she said "what does it have to do with you", the man's face turned pale instantly and his hands trembled.
Before, she thought the other party was angry and his hands were shaking with anger.
Now it seems less like anger and more like... fear.
Pei Yanchuan is afraid?
After coming to this conclusion, Yang Cici felt a little dizzy.
She never knew that this kind of thing would scare Pei Yanchuan.
Not angry, but scared.
She reached out and held the man's hand, and whispered, "Pei Yanchuan?"
The man responded with a trembling voice and trembling body movements: "...Yeah."
Pei Yanchuan stepped back, wondering if there were any medicines in the car.
If I had known this earlier, I should have gone for a follow-up checkup.
He didn't want Cici to find out about his illness.
Don't want to be discovered...
Cici would dislike him... He didn't want to be discovered...
Just as I was thinking about it, a soft body suddenly jumped into my arms.
Pei Yanchuan's breath was choked, and he stood stiffly in place, with a familiar fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.
Yang Cici held his waist, preventing him from retreating any further. She raised her head and blinked, "Lower your head a little."
Pei Yanchuan slowly lowered his head and looked into the girl's clear amber eyes.
Yang Cici curved her eyes, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
"I really didn't lie to you. You've done very well these past few days and no one has discovered you. I'll give you some time. Don't worry."
Pei Yanchuan lowered his head, his dark eyes showing no joy. After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "...Really?"
Did she really want to give him time, or did she not bear to see the lost expression on his face, so she deliberately lied to him and gave him this hope that was impossible to realize.
"Yeah." Yang Cici raised her hands, put her arms around his neck and nodded.
But seeing the man's expression of disbelief, she took a deep breath, suppressed her blush and said:
"Pei Yanchuan, how about this, as long as you meet one of my requirements, I will agree to try it with you once, okay?"
It made no difference anyway. She had told Pei Yanchuan about these requirements when they were dating, so she might as well tell him in advance.
Pei Yanchuan finally reacted. He raised his eyes slightly, pursed his lips and asked, "What's your request?"
Yang Cici stretched out her finger.
"First, you can't get too close to others. I don't like the smell of other people. I'll get angry if I smell it."
After a pause, she was afraid that Pei Yanchuan would think this condition was too strange. After all, how could she not come into contact with other people in work and daily life?
Just as she was about to add something, she saw the man nod without hesitation and give the same answer as before: "Okay."
Yang Ci stared at him for a while, then released her hands and clapped them, "Alright, that's it."
Pei Yanchuan was slightly stunned: "What about the rest?"
Yang Cici narrowed her eyes.
"You finish the first one and I'll tell you the rest."
—
After the rejection that day, Pei Yanchuan contacted her less frequently. Although he would often send her messages, his words were no longer as explicit as before.
Yang Cici sat on a chair, sipping the milk tea in her hand slowly and in a daze.
In fact, she was not against Pei Yanchuan's approach, but she felt uncomfortable when she thought that Pei Yanchuan's personality change might be due to the capture.
She rubbed her hair dejectedly and sighed with her chin propped up.
It would be great if Pei Yanchuan could also recover his memory.
That way she could be sure.
After taking the last sip of milk tea, Yang Cici's gaze fell on the bakery not far away.
If I remember correctly, today is the time for the lucky draw, and the sign should have been put up outside the store by now.
Then when she passed by after get off work, she was dragged to participate in the lottery.
But now, everything outside the store is still business as usual, with no signs of any activities.
We waited for a long time, until it was almost dark, but the store didn't seem to be prepared for the event.
Yang Cici even saw the young lady who was in the same team with her at that time.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, this one is fake too."
Yang Cici was not surprised by this result. She stood up, dusted herself off, and prepared to go home.
It was rare that Pei Yanchuan didn't send her a message today. I wonder if he was busy.
She just raised her leg, but when she saw someone coming out of the cake shop, she blinked.
