Chapter 120: A Kiss on the Forehead



Chapter 120: A Kiss on the Forehead

Pei Yi'an paused, then looked up at Pei Yuli.

"No need. I only felt something was wrong once in a while, but I'm fine the rest of the time. I think even if I really did lose my memory, it's not a big deal."

"What really matters is that we are doing well now."

After Pei Yi'an finished speaking, she went upstairs.

Pei Yuli stood behind Pei Yi'an, staring intently at her back.

He sighed.

My mother is right. It wasn't a pleasant memory anyway, so there's no need to rush to think about it.

At a barbecue stall.

Outside, there were only the lights from the shops at the intersection and a few streetlights casting a dim glow.

Xu Yihuan leaned on the table, her eyes crinkling, and looked at Tan Zhixu with a smile.

Tan Zhixu's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Seeing Xu Yihuan's blushing cheeks, his emotions calmed down.

He rubbed his forehead helplessly: "You've had too much to drink."

Xu Yihuan stood up, frowning, clearly unhappy: "What did you say?! Who said I was drunk!"

"Don't you have a girlfriend yet? How about I introduce you to one?"

Tan Zhixu seemed to be unable to resist, or perhaps he had become interested.

He looked up at her leisurely: "Oh? Who are you going to introduce me to? I'll think about it."

Xu Yihuan's face immediately twisted in embarrassment, and she said shyly, "Um... um, do you think I'm okay?"

Looking at Xu Yihuan's adorable appearance.

Tan Zhixu raised the corners of his eyes and said with a smile, "Sure, why not?"

Her voice was drawn out, very tender, before she abruptly changed the subject.

"But, Miss Xu Yihuan, is it alright to say these things when you are sober?"

Xu Yihuan tilted her head and didn't reply, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

Tan Zhixu chuckled and shook his head, changing the subject: "Shall I take you back now?"

"If you don't go back to the gate, you won't be able to get in."

Xu Yihuan frowned, her face showing a strong desire to understand Tan Zhixu's words: "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Tan Zhixu sighed.

He stepped forward and picked her up in his arms.

"Let's go. Don't you have something to do with Tang Wanhua tomorrow? If you don't go back now, you'll be late for tomorrow."

Upon hearing a certain word, Xu Yihuan jolted awake, her rationality returning for a moment.

Obediently reached out and hugged Tan Zhixu's neck.

"Thank you~" Her voice was unusually sweet.

Tan Zhixu placed Xu Yihuan in the passenger seat.

He bent down to fasten Xu Yihuan's seatbelt.

Mimicking Xu Yihuan's tone, she said sweetly, "You're welcome~"

Having finished speaking, and with his seatbelt fastened, Tan Zhixu prepared to back up.

Just then, Xu Yihuan heard Tan Zhixu's voice and immediately raised her head in dissatisfaction.

Why are you copying me?!

Before anyone could react, warm, soft lips brushed against Tan Zhixu's forehead.

Tan Zhixu's movements froze, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He didn't back down, but instead braced one hand on the side of Xu Yihuan's chair.

He turned his head to look at her, his voice hoarse: "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he met Xu Yihuan's disapproving gaze.

Xu Yihuan was completely unaware and simply repeated it again.

Why are you copying me?!

Tan Zhixu laughed, feeling a lump in his throat that he couldn't swallow.

He withdrew his hand, sat back in the driver's seat, and turned his head away, no longer looking at her.

He shouldn't have had any expectations of this drunkard!

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have followed your example."

Under Xu Yihuan's intense glare, Tan Zhixu still readily apologized.

I never expected him to be such a stubborn guy even when he's drunk.

I drove back to school.

Tan Zhixu's car is registered and can be driven directly into the school.

Parked in the residential area parking lot.

Tan Zhixu did not get off the bus immediately.

He opened his phone and sent a WeChat message to Lu Anlan, asking her to come down and pick him up.

He leaned over and took a large sun hat from the back seat.

After doing all this, he turned to look at Xu Yihuan beside him.

Perhaps she was tired from all the commotion, because Xu Yihuan fell asleep in the car not long after.

At this time, breathing becomes deep and smooth, and sleep is deep and restful.

Her face was flushed from drinking.

Tan Zhixu couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

It's soft and feels great.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the glass window.

Tan Zhixu quickly withdrew his hand.

Seeing Lu Anlan through the window, he rolled down the car window.

Where is Huanhuan?

"In the passenger seat."

Tan Zhixu didn't get out of the car, but Lu Anlan helped Xu Yihuan out of the car.

"Then I'll take Huanhuan and go first. You should go back too."

Tan Zhixu leaned back in his chair and turned his head to look at them through the window.

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. Make her a cup of honey water later, otherwise she'll have a headache when she wakes up tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand."

Tan Zhixu nodded, sat in his seat for five minutes, and only opened the car door and left when there were few people around.

Following Tan Zhixu's instructions, Lu Anlan made honey water for Xu Yihuan.

Xu Yihuan drank it in a daze, and then climbed into bed to sleep in a daze.

She slept until the next day, and woke up at 8 a.m. for her 10 a.m. class.

My head was still foggy, but subconsciously I felt that I couldn't continue sleeping.

She got up, scratched her hair, and went downstairs to wash up. She saw that Lu Anlan was already sitting in a chair putting on makeup.

Lu Anlan was applying false eyelashes when she saw Xu Yihuan's movements in the mirror.

I casually asked, "You woke up so early? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, it's not too uncomfortable."

Xu Yihuan put on her slippers to brush her teeth, squeezed out the toothpaste, and came out of the bathroom.

How did I get home yesterday?

"I brought you up here, oh, but Tan Zhixu brought you back. How come you two went out together?"

Lu Anlan had already applied the mascara to one side and said casually.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan froze for a moment.

He seemed to recall something embarrassing, and his expression became awkward.

He gave a slow, leisurely "oh," without answering her subsequent questions.

Lu Anlan had only asked casually and didn't really care about it.

"Oh, right, Huanhuan, there's some honey over there. Tan Zhixu said that if you're still feeling unwell after waking up, you can make some honey water to drink."

Xu Yihuan pursed her lips: "Okay, I understand."

He chewed on his toothbrush and went to the table next to him to grab a phone.

After thinking about it, I sent Tan Zhixu a WeChat message to thank him.

Thank you for bringing me home yesterday.

I'll treat you to dinner another day.

Tan Zhixu seemed to be doing nothing, and didn't reply to the message for a long time.

Xu Yihuan didn't just sit and wait for news.

After brushing my teeth, I unwrapped a piece of bread for breakfast and started looking at information on my iPad.

I looked at the information about the other company, their past cases, and Tang Wanhua's usual negotiation and conversation techniques.

Lu Anlan looked at it, clicked his tongue, and shook his head.

"You're still trying too hard."

Xu Yihuan smiled.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have enough experience, so we can only learn more."

"Have you registered for the Level 4 exam?" Lu Anlan asked casually while applying blush.

"I've registered. The exam is in December, it's still a long way off."

As soon as I finished speaking, a WeChat message popped up on the tablet.

Just woke up.

"Treat me to a meal? Miss, you've said that so many times already."
