Chapter 25 Chapter 25 [I’m sorry, I offended you. …
Lin Qianyuan still felt a little uncomfortable. She asked awkwardly, "Teacher Pei, doesn't he study?"
Otherwise, how could we have so much time to chat?
Jealousy can distort a person's character. Lin Qianyuan said seriously, "We should talk less and focus more on studying."
"Are you right, Mr. Pei?"
This sudden exhortation to study left Pei Lanqing bewildered. He always thought she had something else to say, so he glanced sideways doubtfully, but it seemed she hadn't. "Hmm."
He nodded.
Lin Qianyuan's mood brightened slightly. She cleared her throat and returned the favor, "Actually, nothing happened that night."
Pei Lanqing stared at her intently, wanting to hear more.
Lin Qianyuan avoided his gaze and said vaguely, "I just wanted to go out and walk in the snow."
"Walking on snow?"
Pei Lanqing really didn't know what to say to her. He took the liberty to ask, "And then you dressed like this afternoon?"
He actually remembered what she was wearing. Lin Qianyuan smiled happily, "It's not the one she wore this afternoon."
"It's the other one," she said, her eyes sparkling, as if she were delighted by something. "That one's black, but it looks great too."
Pei Lanqing couldn't laugh. She was generous with her own thoughts, but she didn't care about her body at all, as if she had picked this body up on the street.
Lin Qianyuan didn't understand why he looked so strange. The medicine was taking effect. She pulled the quilt and her head began to feel dizzy. "I want to sleep."
"good."
Pei Lanqing turned on the desk lamp on the dressing table, adjusted the brightness to the lowest level, then stood up and drew the curtains in the room.
"Go to sleep," he said to her.
Lin Qianyuan blinked as he sat down again. The light beside him was the only source of light in the room, casting a veil over him. She didn't seem quite as sleepy anymore, staring at him with wide eyes.
Pei Lanqing let her look at him for a few minutes. She didn't know how to restrain herself, so he could only type on his phone with a helpless look on his face, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Lin Qianyuan did not deny it, "Yes."
How to sleep with eyes open?
"Yes."
Lin Qianyuan was suddenly awakened by him, and took out a book from under the pillow and handed it to him, "Then read it to me."
“…” Pei Lanqing took the book with a complicated expression.
Lin Qianyuan, lying on her side facing him, confidently addressed his confusion, "I can hear you." Pei Lanqing glanced at her, then lowered his head to look at the familiar book in his hand: the same one he'd read before, "Struggle for Rights." There was something like a bookmark stuck in the book, and Pei Lanqing unconsciously opened the page.
When Lin Qianyuan saw his action, she threw off the quilt and got out of bed in a flash, pressing her hands tightly on the book.
The man who had already opened the book frowned, for no other reason than that his left hand was also stuck in the book.
Pei Lanqing quickly returned to his normal self, looking down at her. She was standing there barefoot, and he told her to put on her shoes first. Lin Qianyuan didn't move her hands, but kicked her slippers toward herself before putting them on.
She half-bent over, standing in a very strange posture. From a distance, she seemed to be lying on his legs. After a few seconds, she looked up and fell into his gaze.
As if she hadn't quite formed her words yet, Lin Qianyuan tilted her head slightly, lowering her gaze in thought, letting her long hair fall casually to his side, her heart fluttering. Her light-colored home clothes softened her aura, and her eyes held no aggression, only purity and purity.
Pei Lanqing was momentarily distracted.
Lin Qianyuan didn't bother to notice anything unusual. She smiled at him awkwardly and said, "I won't listen anymore."
Pei Lanqing kept his eyes down, "Hmm," he looked at her and said softly.
Lin Qianyuan couldn't hear his answer and didn't need his answer. She lowered her head, held his wrist, and carefully pulled his hand out of the book.
Lin Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief when nothing in the book fell out. She stood up straight and took the book back with a lingering fear. She stuffed the book back under her pillow, then covered herself with the quilt and closed her eyes. "I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, she opened her eyes again, "You won't leave while I'm asleep, will you?"
Pei Lanqing came back to his senses and smiled at her, "No."
Lin Qianyuan felt relieved and closed her eyes again, her heartbeat still pounding in disorder. She turned her back to him and silently comforted herself.
If he knew there was a photo of her secretly taking of him in the book, he would definitely be angry, right?
Lin Qianyuan pressed the pillow tightly and persuaded himself to relax as much as possible.
Perhaps the fever-reducing medicine really worked. Not long after, Lin Qianyuan felt dizzy. She stopped struggling and let herself fall asleep.
The only sound in the room was the gentle breathing.
Pei Lanqing finally tore his gaze away from her back and lowered his head in shock. He glanced at the time: nearly seven. After sitting for a while, he decided to go downstairs and do something.
The person on the bed turned over and made a noise.
Pei Lanqing, who had just stood up, looked over and heard the sound. The breathing sound that reached her ears was still light. She was not awake, but was just sleeping restlessly and kicking the quilt.
Pei Lanqing walked over and covered her with the quilt. When the shadow fell over the bedside table, Lin Qianyuan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him dazedly. She and he looked at each other.
It took only a few seconds for her to recognize who he was.
"Pei Lanqing." She seemed to be awake.
"Hmm?" He had forgotten that she couldn't hear him and responded involuntarily.
Lin Qianyuan stretched out his hand from under the quilt and naturally held his, "You won't leave, right?"
He was originally bent over, but her action led him to sit on the edge of the bed. He did not withdraw his hand and nodded.
Lin Qianyuan didn't take his hand back. He nodded, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
In the room where you could hear a pin drop, only two breathing sounds entangled with each other. Pei Lanqing lowered his head and looked for a long time. The night was seductive. He put her hand into the quilt, turned off the lights and went downstairs.
Lin Qianyuan slept until the early morning. Her throat felt uncomfortable and she coughed a few times. She wanted to drink some water, but when she sat up, she found that there seemed to be no one in the room. Lin Qianyuan turned on the light to confirm this fact.
She didn't get out of bed, staring at the wall in a daze as usual.
As usual.
The door of the room was quietly pushed open. Lin Qianyuan's eyes moved slightly and he raised his head to look over.
Pei Lanqing thought she was still asleep, so when he saw her sitting there, he was stunned for a moment.
Lin Qianyuan could no longer tell whether this was a dream or reality, and his gaze was fixed on him.
Pei Lanqing came back to his senses first. Worried that her eyes couldn't adapt to the phone screen for the time being, he wrote on the paper with a pen: [Do you still need to rest?]
Lin Qianyuan's gaze fell on the white paper. She was a little dazed and shook her head mechanically twice.
Pei Lanqing looked at her, his eyes suddenly smiling, [Are you hungry?]
Lin Qianyuan looked up at him and nodded again.
She looked sleepy, her home clothes were wrinkled, and her hair looked a little messy. The look in her eyes when she looked at him made Pei Lanqing laugh.
He reached out and smoothed down a few strands of her hair. Lin Qianyuan didn't react, and remained motionless, letting him do the work. After a few seconds, they both paused, glancing at each other before quickly looking away.
Both of them blushed at the same time.
Pei Lanqing didn't dare look at her. His usually elegant handwriting became extremely sloppy. "I'm sorry, I offended you."
He became more and more flustered as he wrote. "I'll wait for you downstairs." Pei Lanqing left the room without wasting a second and went downstairs.
Lin Qianyuan was still sitting on the bed.
She waited until he was out of sight before turning her head, burying her face deep in the pillow and breaking down.
She must have looked extremely ugly just now. Lin Qianyuan pounded the bed several times with her hands. It was really embarrassing.
After struggling over whether to dig out his eyes or just kill him once and for all, Lin Qianyuan decisively threw back the quilt and chose to get out of bed and wash up.
First floor.
Pei Lanqing was standing in the restaurant, absentmindedly drinking a few sips of cold water. Noticing Lin Qianyuan walking down the stairs, he put down his cup, lowered his eyes, and pulled out a chair.
If she wasn't afraid of appearing too contrived, Lin Qianyuan would have put on some light makeup and changed her clothes before coming down, but now she could only wash her face. For some reason, he didn't even look at her.
Lin Qianyuan occasionally glanced over and was very composed.
Even when wearing home clothes, she manages to exude a noble temperament just right.
Pei Lanqing placed the sweet porridge in front of her. Not knowing if she wanted something salty, he also made an extra serving of steamed eggs.
Lin Qianyuan had never eaten it before, so he scooped out a piece with a spoon.
She put it into her mouth too quickly, and when Pei Lanqing saw it, it was too late to stop her. He quickly pulled out a few tissues.
Lin Qianyuan didn't take it. Her brow furrowed from the heat, but she refused to open her mouth. Fortunately, she didn't eat much, so she swallowed it quickly and subconsciously stuck out her tongue.
Pei Lanqing handed over a cup of warm water. Lin Qianyuan took it and drank two sips, and then he finally recovered.
Pei Lanqing stared at her deeply and lowered his head to type.
Lin Qianyuan stopped him and said, "Listen to me first."
Pei Lanqing stopped and looked up at her.
Lin Qianyuan felt like she was going to completely lose all her face in front of him tonight. She threw it all away and said, "I just think this is delicious."
"That's all," Lin Qianyuan said vaguely, his eyes flickering as he drank his porridge, "This is my opinion."
Pei Lanqing was amused by her serious tone. He put away his phone and had nothing more to say.
Lin Qianyuan finished a bowl of sweet porridge and a bowl of steamed eggs, then put down the spoon with a satisfied look on his face.
Pei Lanqing saw this and asked her, "Aren't you going to eat something else?"
Lin Qianyuan shook his head, "I'm full."
Pei Lanqing knew that dietary supplements could not be achieved overnight, so she did not force her to eat more and turned to wash the dishes.
A person with nothing to do wandered over to him. He looked at her, and she didn't say anything, but just kept circling around him.
Pei Lanqing cleaned up the kitchen counter. Lin Qianyuan suddenly reached out and poked his arm. "Teacher Pei," she raised her head, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Lin Qianyuan felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart. He was embarrassed and managed to say for a long time, "There is a vacant room on the second floor."
It wasn't hard to say this, as she had reserved the empty room specifically for him. But since he had said he was going back to school this afternoon, it would seem she had ulterior motives if she said it now.
Lin Qianyuan would not admit that this was the truth. She made the final decision and said pretentiously, "I can go upstairs and clean it up for you."
Lin Qianyuan turned around and continued to mutter, "No one has lived in that house for a long time."
Pei Lanqing raised his hand to pull her back. Lin Qianyuan turned around and looked at him. He had originally wanted to say that it was not necessary, and that he could stay out for the night if he couldn't go back to school. But looking at her now, he suddenly felt uneasy about her being here alone, worried that she needed him.
Pei Lanqing let go of her hand and started typing, "Can you tell me which room it is? I can clean it myself."
