Chapter 35 Good Brother
Pei Yian kept repeating these two words. Although he didn't know if it would work, he took his second sister-in-law's words to heart.
Ji Zhisui came to the kitchen and the blush on his face began to fade slowly. He always felt that the atmosphere outside was weird, so it was more comfortable to stay in the kitchen. It was just the right time to make lunch.
To cook, you have to light a fire. If Pei Yian comes in, she can't help but think of the scene in front of her where the two people are standing one in front of the other, looking ambiguous and whispering to each other.
Thinking of this, her face became hot again.
stop!
Don’t think about it anymore!
Even if Pei Yian is good-looking, so what? He is the dark and cruel male protagonist in the book! She is simply tired of living, how dare she covet the male protagonist's beauty?
Besides, she was planning to be the male protagonist's brother or sister, so how could she have such random thoughts? She had to confront Pei Yian and make things clear.
Not wanting someone to light the fire, she could only go out and call her second sister-in-law in.
Ji Zhisui had just stepped out of the kitchen. She was thinking about something else and didn't notice Pei Yian coming in.
She walked in a hurry, and Pei Yian tried to take the initiative, but by accident, her head hit Pei Yian's chest.
Ji Zhi covered his forehead with his hands, looking surprised. How could this guy appear and disappear like a ghost?
If he hadn't suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have bumped into this guy, causing her forehead to ache.
What's wrong with this person? His chest is so hard! She is in so much pain now!
"How do you walk?" Ji Zhisui asked in a tone of voice, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Pei Yian did not expect Ji Zhisui to charge straight at him. He was completely unprepared for the impact, and coupled with his poisoned body, he unconsciously stepped back a little.
The force is mutual, and his chest hurt a little, but he couldn't take care of himself. Seeing Ji Zhisui covering his forehead with one hand, even his bright eyes were misty. This was all caused by himself.
He was at a loss, not knowing how to respond, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, my lady, I didn't mean it."
Ji Zhisui didn't believe it. This man was so annoying. He made him think too much before, and now he bumped into him!
Pei Yian felt that there was condemnation in that look, as if he had really done something unforgivable.
He felt extremely guilty and stepped forward to remove the hands covering the forehead, and saw that the fair forehead had turned red.
The contrast between red and white was particularly eye-catching. While Pei Yian was scolding herself, she also felt distressed. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have to go through all this.
"Come on, I'll take you to the clinic." Pei Yian took Ji Zhisui's hand and was about to walk outside.
Ji Zhisui decisively refused. "Why go to a clinic? You're a spendthrift!" There was no blood or swelling. Even if there was some temporary redness, it might disappear by the time we got to the clinic.
She didn't want to go, and Pei Yian couldn't take her away by force, so he took her into the kitchen and started working.
Ji Zhisui noticed that the two were holding hands. Before she made any move, the man let go of her hand, threw an egg into the pot and started to cook it.
Not long after, Pei Yian picked up the cooked egg, wiped off the water marks on it, walked to Ji Zhisui, and applied the egg on her slightly red forehead.
Ji Zhisui was stunned. How did things turn out like this?
In front of her was a man in a moon-white robe, with a light blue waist belt highlighting his slender waist. His hands were long and slender, with slight calluses from years of martial arts practice. He was gently rolling an egg on her forehead.
The gentle and cautious expression on his face had nothing in common with the ruthless and tyrannical official in the book. After all, the Pei family members were all fine now, and he had not turned evil.
So, it would be nice to have someone like this as a brother!
Only by becoming a brother and sister with the male protagonist and holding his thigh can I stop myself from coveting his beauty.
Ji Zhisui clutched his sleeves, a little nervous, bit his lip, and finally said, "I have something to tell you!"
"What?" The man's voice was lazy and casual. He was in a very relaxed posture, and he didn't stop rolling the eggs.
"It's just...it's just...you know that our marriage was an accident. We don't have any emotional basis. If you already have someone you like, my presence will only cause her to misunderstand. So, can we be brother and sister? I feel that you would be a very good brother."
The more Ji Zhisui spoke, the more he felt the temperature around him dropping, as if it was getting colder and colder.
She lowered her head now, so naturally she didn't notice Pei Yian's expression, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
A dark light flashed in Pei Yian's eyes, and a cold light appeared. Murderous intent filled the air, and he stopped applying the egg.
He didn't answer, but asked instead: "Does Sui Niang have someone she likes?"
Otherwise, why would she say this for no reason?
Whenever he thought about her being with other men in the future, holding hands, hugging, and doing more intimate things, he couldn't help but have a dark thought in his heart. He wanted to kill that man and lock her by his side forever, then she would not leave.
"No! I'm just afraid that if you find someone you like in the future, she will misunderstand." Ji Zhisui shook his head and denied it.
Now that the Pei family is doing well, the male protagonist will not be obsessed with revenge. He is so outstanding, there must be many women who like him. If he has someone he likes, his identity will be very embarrassing.
In this strange world, she was greedy for the warmth brought by the Pei family and did not want to be separated from them. This was undoubtedly the best way.
"No, I won't like anyone else." In the past, many noble ladies in the capital showed their affection to him, but he remained unmoved. He also had no feelings for the young lady from the marquis's mansion who was engaged to him.
Since there was no love, he didn't plan to waste time and was discussing with his family about going to the Marquis' Mansion to cancel the engagement. It was during that time that his father and brother died in the war and his family was accused of treason.
The cancellation of the engagement was delayed, and on the eve of their family's exile, Ji Zhisui married into the Pei family instead.
The man's firm tone made Ji Zhisui raise his head, "But..."
"No buts. Right now I just want to redress the Pei family and don't have time to think about love. It's not too late to talk about this matter when you find someone you like, Sui Niang. We are fine like this now, and I also regard you as family. Don't you, Sui Niang, regard me as family?"
Staring at him with those deep, dark eyes, Ji Zhisui nodded.
It's really good like this now. The male protagonist treats her as a family member, so he treats her as a sister. Anyway, there are no formalities for their marriage, and she is just a title.
Pei Yian raised the corners of his mouth. Taking the initiative would not work. With Sui Niang's personality, the best way to deal with it was to boil a frog in warm water. He would take it slowly and make her only see him.
The matter was just exposed. Something had changed between the two of them, yet it seemed as if nothing had changed.
