"..." Pei Wu was clearly taken aback for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. She habitually raised her hand to brush aside Jin Wei's slightly long bangs. "Good night."
Just because of the other person's simple smile, he felt his heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of his chest.
Just then, Pei Wu's phone rang again.
"..." Pei Wu didn't seem to notice her phone until Jin Wei said, "Your phone is ringing." Only then did she glance at her phone and press the answer button, "Hello."
"Master, I've sent the materials to your email. Remember not to stay up too late. As usual, I'll pick you up from your house tomorrow morning. I'll bring the materials you need for tomorrow with me..."
"No need, I'll go to school by myself tomorrow."
"Okay, see you at school tomorrow morning."
"Um."
"I'll hang up now, goodnight, Master."
Ji Jiang hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Jin Wei turned and walked towards his hospital bed after Pei Wu answered the phone. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, let alone Ji Jiang's voice on Pei Wu's phone. As Pei Wu's assistant, Jin Wei remembered this man named Ji Jiang.
After Pei Wu hung up the phone, Jin Wei had already walked to her bedside.
"Get some rest early and don't stay up late."
"Um."
Pei Wu left the living room door slightly ajar and returned to the sofa to look at the information on her phone. After a quick glance, she had a general idea of what was going on.
The next day, when Jin Wei woke up, the first thing he subconsciously glanced at the door that had been half-closed before he went to sleep. But when he saw that the door to the living room was now wide open, he suddenly sat up and walked towards the living room where Pei Wu was without even putting on his shoes.
Just as he had guessed, the blanket he had brought last night was neatly folded and placed on the sofa, but Pei Wu was not in the room.
Jin Wei's shoulders suddenly relaxed, and a sense of loss swept through his heart.
Why do you never like wearing shoes?
Pei Wu's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Jin Wei. However, there was a hint of a smile in Pei Wu's tone.
It turned out that Pei Wu got up much earlier than Jin Wei. Considering the lecture in the morning, she planned to go home to take a shower and change her clothes. When she returned home, she saw Jin Wei standing barefoot at the door of the living room. His hair was messy and sticking up, and he wasn't even wearing glasses. He only turned around in a daze when he heard her speak.
Pei Wu noticed that many of Jin Wei's subconscious little actions and bad habits were also evident in Shen Yu Nan. For example, just like Jin Wei walking barefoot on the floor right now, Shen Yu Nan often went barefoot as well...
Without his glasses, Jin Wei couldn't quite see Pei Wu's face clearly. "You..."
"I had a lecture this morning, so I went home to change my clothes."
"..." Jin Wei nodded slightly after hearing Pei Wu's explanation, and then went to find his shoes that he had left by the bed.
Only then did he belatedly realize that his behavior... had been inappropriate.
Pei Wu noticed Jin Wei's predicament and said, "I'll go check on breakfast."
"Hmm." In Jin Wei's eyes, Pei Wu's act of taking care of his embarrassing situation was quite gentle.
In Pei Wu's memory, Jin Wei always wore a neatly pressed haute couture suit and his hair was always styled... Except for that absurd night, Jin Wei always exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
This disheveled, messy, and even barefoot appearance in the morning is hard to reconcile with his relationship with Jin Wei.
Only after Pei Wu left the room did Jin Wei seem to breathe a sigh of relief, reaching out to rub his forehead. When he went into the bathroom to wash up, the first thing he looked at was his reflection in the mirror. Sure enough, he looked exactly as he had expected: his hair was disheveled, his eyes were sleepy, and there was even a suspicious amount of discharge in the corner of his eye.
In his haste, he scooped up some water and washed his face, the water wetting his bangs.
Jin Wei quickly got dressed, and Pei Wu had already returned from the doctor's office.
At this moment, Jin Wei put on his thin-rimmed silver glasses again. Pei Wu felt that there was quite a difference between Jin Wei with and without glasses. Perhaps it was because nearsighted glasses make the eyes appear smaller. With glasses, Jin Wei's eyes looked upturned, and his eyes had a cunning fox-like quality. On the contrary, without glasses, Jin Wei's eyes were much larger than usual, and he had lost some of that fox-like cunning, instead looking more like a frightened kitten.
At this moment, Pei Wu was standing in the corridor, looking like she was in a daze, lost in thought. She only turned to look at Jin Wei when he opened the door.
