Chapter 14 Crying is not my weapon
Jiang Shiyuan turned his head away. "No, I didn't. I never used crying as my weapon, Pei Xiangwan. I'm not like that. I don't treat others like that."
Her voice came out of her mouth intermittently, like someone shaking a sieve of flour.
"No... I really hate you, Pei Xiangwan... I really hate why you make me like you so much... I hate... I hate that person too."
If her favor and preference were taken away, they would disappear when she came back, and Pei Xiangwan would not want to snatch them away either.
Just like a goldfish cannot live without water and a bird cannot survive in water, her relationship with Pei Xiangwan was destined to have no result. She told herself again and again that there was still a possibility... there was still a possibility... but what she got was the result she least wanted.
How foolish it was to deceive myself. Was that rain running down the corners of my eyes? Jiang Shiyuan wanted to raise her hand to wipe it away. She hated the wetness on her face, hated that it could become her weapon.
Before she could wipe her tears away, Pei Xiangwan held her cheeks and gently wiped away her tears with her thumb, as if she was wiping away the only treasure in the world.
"Be good, don't cry. It's my fault. I shouldn't say such things. Please forgive me, Jiang Jiang. I will make it up to you. I said it before, I will definitely do it." He is such a piece of shit. He doesn't cherish such a beautiful childhood sweetheart.
Pei Xiangwan couldn't imagine what it felt like to be slandered and belittled by the person who was considered the most important and closest to her. She only knew that it must be very painful.
She was in pain, Jiang Shiyuan was in pain.
Jiang Shiyuan's lips were trembling, and his whimpering sounded like a wounded fox in the woods that had tried to roar until it was exhausted and could only let out a faint howl.
"Can you give me a hug?" Pei Xiangwan's eyes were slightly red, and he forced a smile to seek Jiang Shiyuan's consent.
"You... never owe me anything. This was all my fault from the beginning to the end. You..."
Her lips were pinched, making her unable to make any sound. The touch was soft like marshmallows. Pei Xiangwan's eyes were fixed on Jiang Shiyuan's face, who was staring at her with tears in his eyes.
Suddenly, Pei Xiangwan felt that Jiang Shiyuan's lips looked a bit like the mouth of a Q-version octopus, and it was so cute that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
In Jiang Shiyuan's eyes, she was laughing at her again, and she... The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and her tears gushed out like a fountain, unable to be stopped.
Pei Xiangwan was panicked by this and realized that she shouldn't have done that. It was so disrespectful. She let go of her hand, and crying broke out in her ears. Pei Xiangwan slapped her own hand.
"I really owe this to you. Don't cry, Jiang Jiang."
She pulled the person into her arms, and the muffled crying sound lingered in her ears, making people feel distressed.
"Jiang Jiang, believe me. I am here to save you."
Her hand stroked Jiang Shiyuan's head, and the lush trees heard her words; the delicate flowers of the four seasons heard them; the wind birds and unknown flowers also heard them; but the sad and crying little fox could not hear them.
Suddenly, their world of two was invaded by outsiders and was no longer peaceful...
"No, you have no brains, don't you? I told you not to go, don't go. Don't you understand Chinese?"
The girl crossed her arms and walked forward quickly. "You're waiting to be fooled, aren't you? You're so stupid. They were all girls, they must have been lying to you, and you actually believed them. I really don't know what you'd do if you left me."
"Pinglan, you can't be my only friend in this life."
"so what?"
"So don't interfere with me. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm not the person you scold me for all the time without saying a word."
The quarrel was very loud, and the muffled crying turned into sniffles. The little head in his arms slowly raised its head and turned its gaze to the two people arguing in front of him. Pei Xiangwan lowered his head and saw the little fox with big eyes, and a few small pearls hanging on its thick eyelashes.
"Jiang Jiang, you." Pei Xiangwan said in a low voice, but before she could finish her words, the little fox pushed her face away. She was terribly rejected, but the cool hand felt strangely comfortable. Her hand covered Jiang Shiyuan's little paw.
"I don't care what you think, you have to go home today. I promised your mother that I would take good care of you while she's out working."
"No need!" The girl shook off Ping Lan's hand.
Ping Lan was neither angry nor annoyed, he just carried the man on his shoulders and said, "You don't have the final say."
"Let me go... You're depriving me of my freedom."
Pei Xiangwan was shocked. Is this the end? Just pick it up and leave? This must be a play on the overbearing female CEO.
She was full of energy when eating the melon, but now she is like a sick sunflower with her head hung low. Pei Xiangwan found the last candy in her trouser pocket, which she would eat when she was not in the mood to draw.
She peeled off the candy wrapper, and the purple-pink rectangular candy was as crystal clear as crystal.
The sound of peeling candy wrappers attracted the little fox's attention, and she raised her head.
Pei Xiangwan fed the candy into the other person's mouth. Her fingertips touched the soft and pink marshmallow. She seemed to be a little anxious and punctured the marshmallow. Its filling stuck to Pei Xiangwan's fingertips, and the silver thread pulled out kept her.
The extra candy in Jiang Shiyuan's mouth was sour and sweet, not at all cloying, and tasted like raspberry! His fox eyes shone like a lighthouse, but when he thought about it... his face couldn't help but blush.
"Sugar is real, Ginger."
Pei Xiangwan bent her index finger and rubbed it across Jiang Shiyuan's hot cheek again and again. Her voice was a good medicine to cure illness and sadness.
Gentleness is actually a chronic poison that makes people dependent, and once it is withdrawn, life will be worse than death.
How terrible, Jiang Shiyuan thought, it was really terrible. When did she get infected? Was it now, or a long, long time ago? It was obvious that she knew it very well.
He was the angel who reached out to help her up and brushed the dust off her clothes when she fell.
He would use his weak body to protect her from being bullied, and would wipe her tears when she cried. No matter how unreasonable or childish her actions were, he would always indulge her, accompany her, and give her that word.
"As long as it's you, as long as you want, I will be with you, and no one will be able to bully you."
At that time, tears were not a weapon... they were an expression of emotion and moving.
"I won't leave you. It's too fake to say forever. Just leave it to time."
What time brought was a one-man show by Jiang Shiyuan. It was clearly Pei Xiangwan who spoke first. It was her.
Her feelings for Pei Xiangwan are no longer pure...
"Pei Xiangwan, you like the way I smile, right?"
Pei Xiangwan nodded quickly. "Of course, Jiang Jiang, you are very beautiful." She carefully scanned Jiang Shiyuan's eyebrows, nose, and lips. "You are really beautiful, and you are also beautiful when you cry, but you are too sad. It is better to smile."
Although Jiang Shiyuan was smiling, his smile always made people feel weird, and it was hard to tell what was weird about it.
"Really? But you'll pay the price."
Pei Xiangwan was confused and didn't understand what the price could be. "What does it mean?"
There were still traces of tears on Jiang Shiyuan's face. Pei Xiangwan raised his hand to wipe them away. Jiang Shiyuan answered without avoiding.
"You have to pay to go to a concert, and you have to spend money to buy things you like. It's the same if you like my smile."
Pei Xiangwan thought thoughtfully, his head drooping unconsciously. Jiang Shiyuan showed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and the red dot on the phone was clicked.
Pei Xiangwan thought it made sense. Money didn’t matter as long as Jiang Shiyuan was happy, healthy and lived a long life.
"You're right! Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Shiyuan clenched Pei Xiangwan's white shirt with both hands, and wrinkles appeared on the smooth shirt.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled brightly, and the two dimples on her face were like cherry blossoms picked by bees, flowing with sweet nectar, which made Pei Xiangwan feel sweet in her heart.
"Okay, I want yours for the rest of my life." Be angry, she will definitely be angry, and this time let's overturn everything.
Pei Xiangwan agreed immediately. Even if Jiang Shiyuan didn't mention it, she would spend the rest of her time with her.
"no problem."
Jiang Shiyuan never thought that Pei Xiangwan would agree so quickly. As before, she would say that life is so short, how could she give her whole life to others? Then he took off his disguise and abused her.
"Don't worry, Jiang Jiang. Time will tell. It sounds fake, but I will prove it with my actions!"
No one could read the emotion in Jiang Shiyuan's eyes. "Okay."
Can time really prove it? She didn't believe it. Pei Xiangwan liked to act, so she would just play along.
The sky was still as blue as before, as clean and bright as usual, but after one night, the little fox seemed to have changed, and yet seemed to have not changed.
Pei Xiangwan stared at the small face that looked like white porcelain. Her long black hair was tied into a bun, with a few strands of hair falling beside her pink earlobes, revealing her graceful jawline and two rows of white collarbones under her swan neck.
Every time she moved, she exuded a unique charm, like a magnet, attracting Pei Xiangwan.
"What's wrong? Wanwan~"
Jiang Shiyuan turned around and met Pei Xiangwan's gaze. Her fair little face looked as if it had been blushed, with shallow dimples, which together were like the iced, thirst-quenching strawberry and pear juice of summer, with a healing light pink color.
Pei Xiangwan finally understood what was wrong. She was a little uncomfortable with the intimate calls, but this showed that Jiang Shiyuan had begun to trust her. It was a good start!
"Nothing." Pei Xiangwan avoided Jiang Shiyuan's eyes and saw the familiar bracelet. She was still wearing it.
Jiang Shiyuan raised his arm and moved his fingertips along the butterfly's wings. "It's a gift from Wanwan after such a long time, so of course I have to wear it."
Seeing Pei Xiangwan remained silent, she continued, "Isn't it ugly? You're not saying anything."
His arm went limp as if all the strength was sucked out of it in an instant, but his wrist was then grabbed and lifted up.
"It looks good. Your wrist is perfect for it, or perhaps only you can wear it."
