They embraced for a long time in the darkness.
Jiang Cheng pressed his face against Pei Xi's forehead, feeling her breath spray onto the skin of his neck, warm and tingling.
The moon, once out of reach, is now in his arms.
Countless times in the dead of night, Jiang Cheng felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe why God was being so kind to him.
Suddenly, he felt a soft, warm touch on his hand. His right hand was being held, and Pei Xiying's white fingers were pinching his palm.
In the dim light, the scars on his knuckles were faintly visible, and Pei Xi gently touched them with the pad of his thumb.
Even though she knew his wound had long since healed, she was still subconsciously very careful with her touch.
So that's where this scar came from, Pei Xi thought.
She only found out now.
She first saw the scar that appeared in her dream in a bookstore. She was so frightened that she was stunned for a moment and turned to leave.
At that time, she did not know that she had seen this wound before.
Tears welled up again, her eyes suddenly stinging, and she sniffed.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Cheng silently curled his lips, took her hand in his, and whispered to comfort her, using the words she had just spoken: "Baby, the past... is all in the past."
"Hmm." Pei Xi squeezed his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's all in the past."
She closed her eyes tightly, suppressing the tears, then looked up, carefully tracing his face, and smiled sweetly at him, "My boyfriend's hair is messy."
After saying that, she raised her hand and gently tidied his messy hair.
A faint, tingling sensation came from his scalp, and Jiang Cheng realized that he must have smelled terrible from his long journey.
He immediately said, "I just got off the plane, and I might smell a bit. Let me take a shower first."
Pei Xi paused, then lowered his hand. "Okay."
Jiang Cheng touched her face, then turned on the light, took a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Immediately, the sound of rushing water came from inside.
Pei Xi stood hesitantly at the bathroom door, thinking that she hadn't done anything inappropriate just now, and Jiang Cheng was probably just taking a shower.
So she slowly moved closer to the door and tentatively asked, "Jiang Cheng?"
The sound of water inside suddenly stopped.
"Pei Xi." Then Jiang Cheng's voice came from inside the room, with a slight echo.
"Hmm?" Pei Xi leaned closer.
Jiang Cheng's voice seemed to carry a hint of helpless laughter as he said, "I'll be done soon. Don't talk to me, and stay away from me."
Pei Xi was taken aback, then immediately took two steps back as a reflex. "Okay."
Two seconds later, the sound of water came from inside again.
Jiang Cheng washed up very quickly this time. When he came out, Pei Xi was sitting on the sofa. Hearing the door open, she put down her phone and turned to look at him.
Jiang Cheng changed into a long-sleeved T-shirt and sweatpants, and dried his hair with a towel. As he did so, tiny water droplets splashed into the air.
Pei Xi's heart skipped a beat. She stood up and said, "Let me blow-dry your hair for you."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback, then immediately shook his head, "No need."
How could he let Pei Xi blow-dry his hair?
Upon hearing this, Pei Xi frowned slightly and said, "Be obedient."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Cheng didn't know how to refuse Pei Xi's request, so he nodded slightly and said, "...Okay."
Pei Xi's face lit up with joy, and he patted the sofa next to him. "You sit here, I'll go get the hairdryer."
Jiang Cheng obediently sat down.
Pei Xi took the hair dryer, plugged it in next to the sofa, then stood behind him, turned it on, tested the temperature with his palm, and began to dry his hair.
Pei Xi's fingers ran through Jiang Cheng's hair, the soft touch making Jiang Cheng's back tense.
The hairdryer was very quiet, and Pei Xi could hear him speaking clearly from above his head.
"This is the first time I've ever blow-dried someone else's hair. I've never blow-dried Pei Zhi's hair before."
Please forgive any technical shortcomings.
"My boyfriend's hair is so soft and smooth."
"I've noticed that the back of your head is also very nice, it's so round."
"What shampoo and shower gel did you use? You smell so good."
"Why are you sitting so upright? It's like you're in class."
Jiang Cheng: "......"
Pei Xi spoke a lot, mostly praising him, but Jiang Cheng seemed a little overwhelmed by the praise.
The more she praised him, the straighter his back became.
His hair was short, and it dried completely in no time. The moment he turned off the hairdryer, Pei Xi suddenly remembered something, sat down in front of him, and looked a little embarrassed. "By the way, I wanted to tell you that I looked at your things without your permission, and I'm a little sorry."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Pei Xi to say such a thing.
Then he suddenly smiled, took Pei Xi's hand, and said matter-of-factly, "Baby, I'm your boyfriend, so you can see whatever you want without my permission."
"Anything is fine to look at?" Pei Xi opened his eyes and repeated it in a murmur.
Jiang Cheng paused, then said, "..."
After a two-second silence, he coughed lightly, "If you really want to see it, well... it's not impossible."
Anyway, he could never refuse her requests.
Pei Xi was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, "Then I want to see your abs."
Jiang Cheng: "".
He took a deep breath, then muttered to himself, "...Okay."
Then he grabbed the hem of the T-shirt and slowly lifted it up.
His waist and abdomen were exposed to her eyes, with eight tight and neatly arranged abdominal muscles, a beautiful shape, and a slender waist.
Pei Xi subconsciously recalled the image of him making a layup on the court.
His core strength, as she had seen it, was that slender waist, which was not only beautiful but also incredibly powerful.
To make it clearer for her, he seemed to be exerting himself subtly, and the veins on his waist and abdomen bulged out, moving up and down slowly with his breathing.
Then it gradually spreads downwards, hiding in the belt.
Pei Xi dared not think about what was connected below; he only felt a heat rising in his body, as if he were about to be overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery before him.
She slowly raised her eyes, looked at Jiang Cheng, and asked him, "If I touch them, will you feel uncomfortable?"
"...Yes." Jiang Cheng replied truthfully.
"What if I want to touch it?" Pei Xi asked again.
A smile appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes, and he said calmly, "Then touch it."
“But it will make you feel bad.” Pei Xi frowned.
Jiang Cheng paused for a second, then swallowed hard. "Don't worry about me."
Pei Xi raised his hand, seemingly wanting to touch it, but his hand hovered there and then stopped abruptly.
Then she looked up at him, winked, and asked somewhat innocently, "Is there any way to make you feel better?"
Jiang Cheng was startled, and his breathing suddenly became heavier.
The next second, Pei Xi suddenly leaned forward, and Jiang Cheng subconsciously leaned back, but Pei Xi moved even closer, almost touching him.
She looked into his eyes and said seductively, "Ah Cheng, I want to see something else. Can you show it to me?"
