Chapter 36: The Thirty-sixth Day of Reserved Seniority, Who Can Be Ranked?
Jing Rouyue's heart skipped a beat.
God knows how my brother-in-law, who was so gentle and refined just a second ago, could suddenly turn into such a cold and terrifying person?!
A miracle drug from the research institute?
These words sounded so familiar. They were clearly what she had said when she called Shan Yin before to question her brother-in-law.
No way?
Such a grudge!
She didn't really bring back any special medicine!
But Jing Rouyue didn't dare to say it. She wilted instantly and hid behind the lounge chair where Shan Yin was sitting in a panic, still holding Shan Yin's arm.
"No, no need, brother-in-law. I just want Sing to accompany me."
Pei Yunhe's eyes narrowed into a line, emitting an icy light, locking onto her hand like an eagle.
"Um?"
Jing Rouyue threw away Shan Yin's arm as if she had been electrocuted, "No! No need to accompany me! I don't want to go shopping anymore!"
Pei Yunhe was satisfied then, and his eyes circled Shan Yin, feeling that his treasure was by his side.
This is his wife. What's wrong with letting someone else occupy her all day long?
Jing Rouyue was still frightened. She stuck out her tongue and whispered behind Shan Yin, "Sing! My brother-in-law is so fierce all of a sudden!"
Shan Yin was accustomed to Pei Yunhe's arrogance.
She soothed Jing Rouyue with her gaze, then turned to Pei Yunhe in front of her and said, "Don't scare her."
Pei Yunhe immediately restrained his expression a little, and instantly turned into a ferocious tiger rubbing the palm of its trainer's hand.
He listened obediently to Shan Yin, his hands still moving. He straightened his back a little and said to Jing Rouyue in a lazy voice, "Your sister doesn't have as much energy as you do. I'd feel bad if she kept going."
This was the first time that Dan Yin heard Pei Yunhe speak such blunt words in front of outsiders. Dan Yin was stunned and involuntarily retracted his legs, but Pei Yunhe still held his ankles.
"Don't move, it hurts."
But Jing Rouyue understood this time.
It turned out that my brother-in-law was feeling sorry for Sing and was pointing fingers at her.
She was so excited about shopping that she didn't pay much attention to Dan Yin's discomfort.
Dan Yin is always like this, always considering the public's appearance and thinking about others. He endures everything he can and doesn't like to speak out.
Probably because he wanted to accompany her shopping to her heart's content, he didn't even tell her that he was tired, and he was only concerned about her feelings, which made himself suffer.
Fortunately, Pei Yunhe noticed it first.
Thinking of this, Jing Rouyue felt a little guilty. Looking at Pei Yunhe's expression, she didn't dare to ask Shan Yin to spend the night with her. It would be better for her to let Shan Yin go back and rest quickly, lest Pei Yunhe really stuff a bunch of handsome things into her.
She hasn't had that idea yet!
So Jing Rouyue picked up her bags again and obediently got into Pei Yunhe's car with Shan Yin. Pei Yunhe took her back to Su Wan's residence in Nanqiao.
When the chirping moon was finally sent back home, a white jade crescent moon hung high in the night sky.
Under the silver moonlight, Pei Yunhe drove the car steadily back to Building 12 of Yilanzhou. The fragrant breeze blew the flowers and plants in the courtyard, making their shadows hazy, quiet and lingering.
When getting out of the car, Pei Yunhe told Shan Yin not to move, turned around and went to the passenger side to open the door.
"Carry you or hug you?"
Shan Yin was surprised for a moment and was about to say no, but Pei Yunhe shook his head slightly, and without saying a word, he picked Shan Yin up by the waist and carried her out.
The body was suspended in the air for only a moment, but Pei Yunhe held it firmly and walked steadily.
Shan Yin had no choice but to let him hold her. She hooked her arms around his neck and looked up, only to meet his angular jaw.
Pei Yunhe looked straight ahead. Even though the moonlight was gently shining on his face, when he was serious, there was always a hint of alienation in his gentleness.
And those eyes were particularly determined, just like when he was massaging her feet in the mall, or hugging her like now, it seemed as if he never wanted to change what he had decided on.
Fortunately, he was firm towards her and always protected her.
Shan Yin stared at Pei Yunhe without blinking. The cool breeze from the lake was mixed with the calm and warm scent of sandalwood, like warm amber, which made her heart soften.
After returning to the bedroom, Pei Yunhe carefully placed Shan Yin beside the bed.
"Thank you..."
Shan Yin held Pei Yunhe's arm and tried to stand up and sit up straight, but just as she uttered the word "thank you", she clearly felt the strong arm under her hand stiffen and the veins bulged.
Pei Yunhe frowned and looked at her sideways: "Thank you?"
Such politeness suddenly reminded him of many things that had made him dissatisfied in the past.
He didn't mind going through the details with her from the beginning.
"Thank me for what? Thank me for leaving you at home and going to the company so that I could give you a chance to stay with me?"
"no……"
Shan Yin's eyes moved, he clutched Pei Yunhe's clothes, and spoke in a low voice.
Pei Yunhe glanced down at her hand, then grasped it in his palm and leaned forward.
"That's to thank me for coming to the mall unexpectedly and not asking your Yueyue to show you a few more handsome young suitors?"
Dan Yin's breathing stagnated.
Why are we talking about this again?
It's not like he didn't hear everything, so he should know that she didn't mean that.
"Pei Yunhe..."
Shan Yin unconsciously called out Pei Yunhe's name, so softly and quietly that she didn't even notice it, and it also sounded a bit like she was begging for mercy.
Pei Yunhe's eyebrows twitched slightly, but his face looked unmoved.
He pursed his lips, his long eyelashes lightly closed, his eyes still glancing downwards. Each flap of his wings resembled the graceful flutter of a butterfly, seemingly careless, yet in reality, every gust of wind was under his control. Pei Yunhe leaned forward a little further, forcing Shan Yin to lean back, but her wrist was still held in his hand, and her legs were hanging over the edge of the bed, making her almost unable to move.
Pei Yunhe followed her gaze towards the edge of the bed, his face expressionless, but his eyes raised slightly.
Shan Yin saw that he had one knee on the edge of the bed, with the other leg still standing between her legs, trapping her in between.
In a flash, Pei Yunhe's aura was everywhere around him.
He raised his eyebrows and asked in her ear.
"Thank you anyway. I let you off a few times this morning. Didn't I ask you to compensate me right then and there?"
A warm breath faintly hit Dan Yin's ear, and in an instant, a large area of it was wet.
Shan Yin twisted her body slightly in discomfort. The wet and sticky things were like water plants in a deep green pool, clinging to her and dragging her deeper into the water with a numb feeling.
Pei Yunhe noticed Shan Yin's unusual feelings, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he had some teasing thoughts in his mind. He leaned over and brought her inch by inch onto the quilt at the back. When she twisted her legs restlessly, he bent his long legs and pressed his knees on her.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for Shan Yin to break free. Pei Yunhe's breath lingered behind her ears and on her neck, and clusters of flames ignited her body. She seemed to have foreseen the spread of the disease.
Whether it was the raging fire now or the violent storm comparable to last night, she really couldn't bear it. At the moment before the sky collapsed and the earth broke, she grabbed Pei Yunhe's clothes on her chest, trying to fight for the last glimmer of life for herself.
"Pei Yunhe..."
Pei Yunhe stroked the upper part of her neck and gently held her earlobe.
The hair and the heat are both stirring every inch of pure land, and the tiny nerve endings in it are intertwined, and this little wave of wind and rain causes a huge uproar in the deep tranquility.
Pei Yunhe still maintained a nonchalant tone, carefully sucking on the tender white earlobe, but his voice was much lower and hoarse.
He said, "You say."
Another tremor swept through her body. Shan Yin finally managed to calm herself down, her knuckles clenched white.
"Pei Yunhe, don't be angry..."
"I'm not angry."
Having said that, he suddenly bit her behind the ear.
Shan Yin felt pain and snuggled a little closer into his arms, and he took the opportunity to hold her in his arms.
It's getting out of control.
Shan Yin tilted his neck and said quickly, "I left you a message today... Yue'er... Yue'er was close to me when she was a child. She hasn't been back for many years, so naturally she wants to stay with me for a while... And she suddenly came back to surprise me, so I can't refuse her kindness."
surprise.
Another surprise.
Pei Yunhe's gaze fell on Shan Yin's raised snow-white neck. The skin was so smooth and delicate that he could clearly see the pulsation of blood vessels.
He lowered his head and bit it without saying a word, even increasing the force.
"So that's a waste of my time? It's rare for me to get some rest."
He was in a hurry to get to work, and then drove home in a hurry. It was indeed later that he saw Shan Yin's message.
There's nothing wrong with reuniting with family, he can be there to keep them company.
But he was unhappy about something else.
He suddenly moved again and kissed Dan Yin's red lips deeply.
So powerful and a little overbearing.
The last breath was completely taken away from her, and Shan Yin fell into a deep pool. The water rippled and made sounds. She was suffocating so much that she could only hold Pei Yunhe tightly, floating up and down.
Pei Yunhe let her go, fixed his eyes on that point, and pointed it out.
"Shan Yin, you don't have me in your heart at all."
It was obvious that she was the one who was bullied and had tears at the corners of her eyes, but when he said this, he became the one who was wronged.
Shan Yin's chest heaved, and he felt even more annoyed by Pei Yunhe's complaining tone.
Does he really feel extremely aggrieved?
But what he said seemed to be really reasonable and well-founded. She was worried about offending Jing Rouyue's feelings, but always ignored Pei Yunhe's intentions.
Is it because he usually pretends to be fierce, but always tolerates her unconditionally, so she unconsciously develops a sense of fearlessness?
Shan Yin suddenly felt that he was a bad person. Not to mention that he was letting others down, at least he shouldn't take other people's kindness for granted.
Her brows furrowed again.
This time it was not because of physical excitement, but because of the unbearable guilt towards Pei Yunhe.
She also raised her eyelids and stared into Pei Yunhe's eyes. She tried to read some of the cunning look in his eyes when he bullied and teased her, but she only saw the true love that was about to overflow.
He really cares whether she has him in her heart.
Shan Yin softened his heart.
She carefully opened her heart and told Pei Yunhe her thoughts, which she had never even had the chance to see.
"No, Pei Yunhe, I have you in my heart."
This is the truth, otherwise she would not be willing to play the role of a wife in an arranged marriage, nor would she be so affectionate with him every day, and she would not miss him and care about him more and more.
"You are my...husband, how could I not care about you?"
But caring too much can lead to confusion. Every word said by the person you care about can be interpreted in thousands of ways.
There were ripples in Pei Yunhe's eyes, as if a lot of ink had been poured into a clear pond, making it turbid, blurring and covering up the Dan Yin in his eyes.
"Just because I'm your husband?"
He seemed even more hurt, and his grievances made him even more self-deprecating.
"Because of the marriage? Because of this relationship?"
"No..."
Pei Yunhe distanced himself from Shan Yin as she whispered softly. The air instantly penetrated between their skin, and the cool breath dissipated the heat, and even the blood and heart were cooled a little.
Pei Yunhe was already very self-satisfied, "Okay, even if it's just because of this, I don't think you care about me that much."
When her aunt came back, she would go to pick her up; when Jing Rouyue came back, she would also go to pick her up; even in her daily life, she was always gentle, considerate and caring towards He Yuxian, Xi Minxia and Pei Yunmiao.
It was hard for Pei Yunhe not to have the urge to compete, even though he knew it was not easy to say it out loud, he still couldn't hold back the anger boiling in his heart.
"Even if you have me in your heart, how can I be considered senior in terms of seniority?"
These words were like a sharp silver knife, cutting back and forth the petals of Shan Yin's heart that had just been split open, revealing her heart clearly, like a mirror.
It also made Pei Yunhe feel cool.
Shan Yin was stunned. She didn't want to lie to Pei Yunhe, but after counting carefully in her mind, she asked herself and realized that she did not put Pei Yunhe at the top.
Silence is the answer.
Pei Yunhe had never felt that the moonlight in Nanqiao in May was so bleak and cold.
The moonlight lingered on Shan Yin's facial features instead of his kiss just now. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and ripples were formed in the lake without wind, but they were locked in the corners of her eyes, not letting any trace of emotions leak out.
He didn't like her restraint and wanted to lean over and kiss open the barrier of the lake, but he saw that beneath the glimmering wet tear marks were the red corners of her eyes, which were also filled with distress and sorrow.
He was discouraged and softened his heart.
He suddenly stood up and stopped being the outsider who disturbed the tranquility of the pool.
Shan Yin noticed Pei Yunhe's depression. For some reason, she suddenly felt very reluctant and raised her hand to grab his arm which was about to be pulled away from her side.
Pei Yunhe's eyes flickered.
But she still hasn't learned to express her concern and worry sincerely, as if no one can understand her deep inner feelings. When the words come to her lips, they turn into more rational and reasonable talk.
"But Pei Yunhe, don't family and friends come before you in your heart? I mean... let's not talk about your parents, even Miaomiao and your friends, who hasn't known and been with them longer than you and I? Whose relationship isn't deeper than ours?"
She tried to explain things to Pei Yunhe, thinking that this would make him feel better.
But it was wrong.
Totally wrong.
Pei Yunhe looked at her silently for a long time, and the little light left in his eyes dimmed.
His eyes were stung by the moonlight outside the window, and some physiological water stains appeared in them.
Destroy him completely.
He stood up.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest. I'm going to the guest bedroom... I have some work to do."
