Chapter 2 Time will tell.
That gentleness caressed Jiang Shiyuan's heart, trying to heal her wounds. However, the grievances in her heart were like cold dew in the dark night, condensing bit by bit.
Jiang Shiyuan cried harder and harder, like a child, and no amount of soothing would stop her. This made Pei Xiangwan question herself: had she done something wrong? Why did the more she soothed her, the more she cried. Was she just not buying it?
"Jiang Jiang, my little Jiang Jiang, I'll buy you some candy, okay? Don't cry."
Jiang Shiyuan raised his head slightly, the person in front of him was obscured by the mist, and his voice trembled, "I...what I need is for you to tell me what I did to make you feel disgusted."
Pei Xiangwan was stunned. Is this the legendary beauty crying?
Jiang Shiyuan possessed a pair of extremely charming fox eyes, her pupils as translucent as amber, capable of easily captivating anyone's soul. Her small, upturned nose, slightly red from crying, looked very charming.
Her fair face is as smooth and delicate as porcelain. Without too much decoration, she exudes a fresh and refined temperament, just like an innocent little white fox, which makes people feel pity and love for her.
"Speak up!"
She grasped Pei Xiangwan's collar tightly and suddenly pulled her towards her. Their noses were almost touching, so close that they could hear each other's breathing clearly.
"Tell me why you hate me and don't talk to me." Jiang Shiyuan's voice increased, attracting the attention of passers-by. Pei Xiangwan felt that these people's eyes could see through her.
Pei Xiangwan placed his index finger on Jiang Shiyuan's soft lips. "Shh! Don't shout so loudly."
Girls' lips are so soft, like marshmallows.
The delicate touch on her lips calmed the crying person like magic. She took Jiang Shiyuan's hand and walked forward, while the person she was holding was confused the whole time.
Qiao Yanxin: ...I'm still waiting here silently, and this is the result?
Jiang Shiyuan was forced to sit on the bench. She seemed to be in a state of silence, without any reaction. She stared blankly at the person in front of her.
Pei Xiangwan's facial features are extremely delicate and three-dimensional. She has a high nose, smooth facial lines, full lips, and a skin as rosy as a peach blossom, with a faint glow. Beneath her deep, bright eyes lies a teardrop mole.
Her face did not change, but to Jiang Shiyuan, Pei Xiangwan's face was very attractive to her, as addictive as poison, causing her to hallucinate, and full of expectations and desire for her.
I always feel that the person in front of me has changed a lot and looks much better. Is it an illusion?
"Jiang Jiang, please help me!"
Jiang Shinian frowned, wondering if he had heard correctly, and asked, "What did you say?"
Pei Xiangwan pursed her lips. It was over. How could she mend her mouth? Let me think about it. “I…I said the sun is very hot.”
"Shouldn't you answer the question I just asked?" She stood up. She didn't have any hope in Pei Xiangwan in the first place. Would it take so long to ask the question?
Pei Xiangwan felt aggrieved, mainly because she was not the Pei Xiangwan in the novel, and the book did not explain what the conflict between the two was about. How could she respond?
The wind blew, and sand and fallen leaves were rolled in the wind. Seeing this, Pei Xiangwan pressed Jiang Shiyuan's head against his chest to protect her from the sand and dust.
Jiang Shiyuan could clearly hear Pei Xiangwan's strong heartbeat in his chest, as if it was beating for her.
This also made her heartbeat accelerate unconsciously, and a light and elegant scent of gardenia quietly drifted into her nose. The fresh fragrance seemed to come from the distant mountains, giving people a feeling of tranquility and comfort.
The wind stopped, and Pei Xiangwan distanced herself from Jiang Shiyuan. She was thinking about how to answer Jiang Shiyuan. Because she was too focused on thinking, she didn't notice that Jiang Shiyuan's cheeks were slightly flushed, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were tightly covering his restless chest.
Boom boom boom.
So fast.. so fast..
"Jiang Jiang, I'm telling you, hey!" She snapped her fingers crisply in Jiang Shiyuan's ear, and Jiang Shiyuan came back to his senses and looked at her.
"I was too crazy. I treated you like this. I'm sorry, Jiang Jiang. I won't be crazy again! Can we just be good turtles?"
Jiang Shiyuan laughed contemptuously at this. "So, you've been crazy for a year? Pei Xiangwan and everyone else think I'm stupid, and you think I'm stupid too?"
Her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, which was trembling and covered with wrinkles.
Pei Xiangwan lowered her eyelids, and under her long eyelashes hid the sadness and loss that were difficult to conceal. Her silent pain was like a heavy chain, tightly pulling at Jiang Shiyuan's heart.
What she didn't know was that Pei Xiangwan was cursing the Pei Xiangwan in the novel in her heart at this moment, using all the swear words she could utter in her life.
The cute little goose who bullied her has now become the scapegoat. This hole can never be filled.
Pei Xiangwan picked at his fingers, their eyes met, and it seemed as if they were the only ones in the world.
"It's my turn this time. I will protect you, Jiang Shiyuan."
Jiang Shiyuan stared at Pei Xiangwan at this moment. Her eyes were as clear as a spring, without any disgust, but rather pity.
This look made her feel intoxicated and she almost blurted out a promise. However, her inner struggle made her feel conflicted. The two villains in her heart were fighting fiercely, making her decision waver.
One said: Why did you forgive her with just one sentence! No matter how she scolded you and said you were annoying, you insisted on following her, and it lasted for a whole year. Don’t you see clearly? This kind of person is not worth your efforts at all.
Another said: "Her eyes are really sincere, she doesn't look like she's lying. Maybe she really realizes her mistake. Isn't reconciliation what you want most? Now that you're here, why hesitate?"
She looked at Jiang Shiyuan's brows that were furrowed in confusion, and the green leaves that accidentally fell in her hair, and she couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand.
He pinched the green leaf with his fingertips, then released his fingers. The green leaf spun lightly in the air and finally fell quietly to the ground.
"It's okay, just let everything take its course. I'll do what I say, Jiang Jiang."
Get out of the way! No one can hurt Jiang Jiang!
Jiang Shiyuan's gaze fell on Pei Xiangwan.
"Everyone says that, right?"
Pei Xiangwan approached her, and she had no choice but to step back. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Don't step back, you will fall." He stretched out his fingers and wiped away the tears sliding down her cheeks.
"Time will prove it, won't it?" Her smile was as dazzling as the bright stars, and as brilliant as the scorching sun, which made Jiang Shiyuan lose his mind.
The azure sky slowly blended into a warm golden hue, enveloping the two figures in a golden glow.
"Let's go home together."
"No, it's not on my way."
Pei Xiangwan smiled. She knew she would be rejected, but she didn't expect to be rejected so directly.
"Not on our way? Aren't we neighbors?" Jiang Shiyuan ignored her and walked forward on his own. The two of them kept a subtle distance, walking one in front and the other behind.
The afterglow of dusk cast long shadows on their bodies.
Jiang Shiyuan glanced back from time to time, but unexpectedly his action was caught by the other party.
Pei Xiangwan was so adorable at this gesture that she curled her lips and smiled, "Are you worried I'll get lost? Don't worry, I won't lose it."
Jiang Shiyuan glared at her and said, "No." She quickened her pace and shouted fiercely, "It would be better if it was lost."
Pei Xiangwan didn't say anything and just kept following. Jiang Shiyuan couldn't stand it anymore and turned around, "Why do you always follow me?"
She spread her hands and said, "No." She turned around to see if there was anyone behind her. "No one is following us."
Jiang Shiyuan pointed at her and said, "I'm talking about you! Why are you following me? Your car is clearly behind me."
Pei Xiangwan smiled and said, "Would you like to come with me, little fairy?"
Jiang Shiyuan refused proudly, "I! Don't! Want it!"
Watching the other person's gradually blurred figure walking away, the smile on Pei Xiangwan's face faded. She sat in the car, rubbing her forehead lightly with her hand.
You have to adapt to this body, and also to the family and interpersonal relationships of this body.
She vaguely remembered that Pei Xiangwan used to be cheerful and had a happy family.
Why did you suddenly become so irritable?
Pei Xiangwan drove to Lanming Bay and just as the car stopped in front of the gate, he looked towards the villa opposite. He saw a familiar figure lingering at the door, head lowered, lips moving slightly, muttering something.
Jiang Shiyuan had no idea that someone was watching her. She kept thinking that Pei Xiangwan should have come back a long time ago, so why hadn't he seen her yet?
The golden sky gradually turned into deep blue, and the lights in the house were like stars, lighting up the night. Clusters of roses were climbing on the railings, blooming, with a few red flowers mixed in with the white and pink. The petals left scattered on the ground were stepped on back and forth by Jiang Shiyuan.
"Are you waiting for me, little fairy?"
Jiang Shiyuan heard a familiar voice and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw the man with his hand on the car window, tilting his head, and raising his hand to greet her.
"I'm not waiting for you, I'm feeding stray cats." Seeing Pei Xiangwan acting righteously, he turned around and began to feel guilty, and quickened his pace.
"My girl goose is just adorable!"
The vehicle drove into the garage and Pei Xiangwan walked into the villa. The ceiling looked like an exquisite grid woven with golden threads spit out by a spider. The crystal chandelier fell into the net, emitting flickering candlelight.
The nanny immediately came forward and took the items from her hands. She nodded and said, "Thank you."
Aunt Zhang hung up Pei Xiangwan's clothes and said with a smile, "Miss, you're welcome."
Pei Xiangwan sat down, looking at the busy figures coming and going, as if fleeing from famine, and carefully brought the dishes to the table.
This must be Zhang Ma, the bullied girl in the book.
Whenever Aunt Zhang mentioned that Pei Xiangwan's parents couldn't come home for dinner due to work, she would lose control of her emotions, suddenly overturning the table full of delicious food, her eyes red, and she would scream at the top of her lungs, "It's like this again! It's like this again! Get out of here!"
Whenever it is mentioned, it is the day of Zhang Ma's suffering.
Pei Xiangwan's eyes were as deep as a pool, without a trace of ripples, which made Zhang Ma shudder involuntarily, even her voice trembled. She said with difficulty: "Miss...Miss, the gentleman and the mistress today...today..."
Hearing the other party's stuttering voice, Pei Xiangwan responded with a smile, "I know." Then he looked at the food on the table, which looked very appetizing. Who would be so kind as to not be able to get along with good food?
"Auntie Zhang's cooking skills are pretty good."
Aunt Zhang's face was filled with disbelief. The young lady didn't get angry today and even praised her. She quickly responded, "Thank you, young lady."
"I'm done eating, Aunt Zhang. I really like today's meal. Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, she went upstairs.
Zhang Ma was left standing there in a daze. Was she really the young lady? She couldn't even remember how long that bright smile had disappeared. She only vaguely remembered that it had disappeared for a very long time...
