Chapter 123 Action
Hearing Ji Zhisui's voice, Pei Yian immediately stopped and turned around to ask, "Sui Niang, what's wrong? Did you forget something at the restaurant?"
Ji Zhisui shook his head, "No, An Ge, you have to be careful."
It's not enough that Manager Guo has framed their restaurant, now he wants to poison it. Who knows what he might do after being exposed and getting angry.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Pei Yian saw Sui Niang's watery eyes looking at him, with worry and reluctance in them. She was worried and reluctant about him.
This realization made his heart soften into a puddle of water. In the end, he couldn't help but walk forward, put his big hand lightly on her head, and rubbed it a few times.
For the first time, Pei Yian was thankful for his good height. He could touch Sui Niang's head with just a stretch of his hand, and he could see Sui Niang's confused expression when he lowered his eyes.
Maybe because her action was too sudden, Sui Niang looked dazed.
When Pei Yian reacted, the first thing he saw was fair skin. He felt softness under his hands. His hands had already pinched Sui Niang's cheeks.
The other party became even more confused because of his actions, and looked at him with those innocent and watery eyes.
Pei Yian looked away somewhat unnaturally, and reluctantly opened his mouth. His throat rolled a few times before he uttered, "Go to bed early at night." After that, he turned around and left quickly, not daring to look at Sui Niang's expression.
The man's voice was deep and inexplicably sexy, which was particularly obvious and unique in the dim sky.
The soft and cool touch on his face seemed to still be there. Ji Zhisui felt his cheeks gradually becoming warm and red because of the unfamiliar touch.
She raised her hand and placed it on the place in front of her where the man had touched her. In just a moment, she quickly withdrew her hand as if it had been burned.
I'm sure it was from Ango's fingers that the heat was transmitted to me! That's right!
Ji Zhisui glanced around the small courtyard stealthily. When she found that there was no one around and no one noticed anything unusual about her, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran back to her room and closed the door.
Not long after, footsteps were heard in the room, and Ji Zhisui felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes: "Third sister-in-law, are you going to bed?"
"No, Tiantian, you go to sleep first, I'll go wash up." After saying that, Ji Zhisui quickly ran to wash up.
But the warm water splashed on her face only made her feel even hotter. After washing up, she came to the water tank and planned to wash her face with cold water to calm herself down.
When Madam Pei came out, she saw Sui Niang washing her face with cold water in the yard. "Sui Niang, it's still a little cold at night. Don't use cold water. You'll catch a cold easily."
"Grandma, I'll just wash my face with cold water! I'm sleepy, so I'll go to bed first!" After saying that, Ji Zhisui returned to the room like a gust of wind.
Afraid that someone would notice anything unusual.
Before Mrs. Pei could say anything, the person had already disappeared. She couldn't help but mutter, "Why is Sui Niang so strange tonight?"
Ji Zhisui's movements were a bit loud, and Pei Tiantian, who was still awake, noticed it immediately. She asked curiously, "Third sister-in-law, is there a monster outside?"
Seeing her third sister-in-law startled, Pei Tiantian remembered what her father had told her before: if children don't sleep, they will be taken away by monsters at night.
Ji Zhisui realized belatedly that his reaction was too great, and he didn't know if his grandmother had noticed anything unusual.
She glanced around and answered Pei Tiantian's question: "No, Tiantian, go to sleep!"
"Oh!" Knowing that there was no monster, Pei Tiantian felt relieved. She crawled into her seat and obediently pulled the quilt over herself.
When the sweet and soft Third Aunt appeared beside her, she hugged her.
"Tiantian, why are you so enthusiastic today?" After returning to the room, Ji Zhisui felt full of security and was in the mood to joke with Pei Tiantian.
"Third sister-in-law, I saw it all in front of me!"
"What did you see?" Ji Zhisui couldn't understand what the kid was keeping in suspense today.
"I saw my third brother standing with you. He touched your head and pinched your face!" Pei Tiantian recounted what she had seen before.
After Ji Zhisui stepped forward and covered Pei Tiantian's mouth, he realized that there were only the two of them in the room and they would not be discovered by others.
She took her hand away from the man's mouth and explained, "Tiantian, there's nothing between me and your third brother."
"Really?" Pei Tiantian was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's true. Your third brother and I were just communicating normally. Besides, don't I pinch your and Xingxing's faces all the time?"
Ji Zhisui felt a little guilty and hurriedly explained what he wanted to get rid of.
After hearing this, Pei Tiantian thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. Third sister-in-law often treated her and Xingxing well, so there must be nothing wrong with third brother treating her like this.
Seeing that Pei Tiantian really took her words to heart, Ji Zhisui breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had fooled her. She covered herself with a thin blanket and said, "Tiantian, it's late now, let's go to bed!"
"Okay." Pei Tiantian closed her eyes obediently.
Pei Yian walked briskly with a smile on his face. After making sure that there was no one around, he knocked on the door of the restaurant. Then someone inside opened the door. It was Zhou Yayi who had not returned yet.
The two of them came to the private room upstairs. Pei Yian asked Zhou Yayi to go to sleep first, and he would keep watch and see if there were any rats coming.
I don’t know what time it was, but the lights and noise outside died down, the entire Qizhou County became quiet, and everyone fell asleep.
Even though Zhou the yamen runner was sleeping soundly at dawn, Pei Yian was still sitting upright on the side, his eyes sweeping over the back door and the backyard.
The other party was going to do something wrong and would definitely not dare to come in through the main door. Moreover, this back door was specially arranged by him, so it would not take much effort to come in.
I just don't know if the other party won't take action tonight.
While he was thinking about these things, in the quiet environment, the direction of the back door indeed changed.
It seems that some people can't wait to take action all day.
Pei Yian woke up Zhou Yayi. Zhou Yayi didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble right under his nose. He couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by a hand.
Seeing the other party shaking his head, Zhou Yayi had no choice but to wait on the side.
This rat has just appeared, so it is not the time to catch it yet. If we want to catch it, we must catch it red-handed, so that it can't deny its guilt even if it tries to.
No one stopped him, and since the back door had been tampered with, the man in black easily reached the kitchen of Baiwei Restaurant. He didn't expect that this business would be so easy to do. Now, as long as he put the medicinal powder he brought into the well water, he could get money!
