Chapter 53: The Fifty-third Day of Reservedness Dan Yin, you have learned bad habits. ...
"oh……"
Lu Pan'er seemed to be thinking about something.
She saw that Pei Yunhe was always waiting patiently for Shan Yin, and the affection in his eyes was deep and direct.
She didn't want to monopolize Shan Yin any longer, so she pulled Shan Yin to Pei Yunhe.
"Brother Yunhe, Sister Shanyin." She said nicely, "I'm sorry to bother you. I wish you a happy wedding and a long and happy marriage."
Then he took out an invitation from his arms.
"In a couple of days, the Lu and Zhao families are co-hosting a charity dinner in Nanqiao. I know Sister Shan Yin enjoys calligraphy and painting, so there will be many works by famous artists up for auction. There are also some that my brother specially sent from abroad, which are very rare. Brother Yunhe, Sister Shan Yin, if you'd like to honor me, please come and visit us."
"Your cousin? The one from the Lu family, Lu Chengzhi?" Pei Yunhe casually fiddled with the bamboo leaves beside him.
Lu Paner opened her eyes wide and nodded, "Yeah."
"Okay. Whatever the Lu family member looted must be good stuff." He said to Shan Yin, "I'll take you to see it later. There's bound to be something you like."
"Why did we use the word 'plunder'..." Shan Yin was still wondering.
Lu Paner covered her mouth and smiled, "That's right, Sister Shan Yin, you didn't go to North City to explore, so you don't know. When Brother Yunhe tells you about my brother, you'll know why Brother Yunhe said 'plunder'."
Lu Pan'er sent out the invitation, said goodbye and left without bothering them anymore.
Pei Yunhe and Shan Yin continued walking towards their residence.
Pei Yunhe came over to help Shan Yin. Shan Yin thought about what happened between Zhao Xingqi and Lu Paner and angrily said to him, "You're just trying to scare them, but why are you trying to match them up?"
She talked to Lu Paner for a few words and she really liked girls like Lu Paner.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yunhe reached out and scratched her nose, "What do you mean by random matchmaking? Zhao Xingqi is obviously interested in Miss Lu, but he is young and delicate, and he hasn't figured out his own feelings yet."
"Ah? Is that so?" Shan Yin widened slightly.
"certainly."
Pei Yunhe nodded.
"When he was little, I scolded him because he kept chasing after Miss Lu and making trouble. She kept crying all day long. I was so annoyed that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I scolded him."
"Later, when they grew up, the quarrels stopped. He treated his childhood sweetheart like a brother. But whenever a girl from the Lu family got close to any of the boys from aristocratic families, he would feel uncomfortable and irritated."
"Isn't this interesting?"
Pei Yunhe spread his hands.
"I'm just giving him some good advice. Whether it succeeds or not depends on his own luck."
Shan Yin really didn't expect that there would be such stories.
She has a pure mind and a heart as clear as water, so she never expected so many twists and turns.
"Then since he likes Pan'er, why does he bother her, tease her, pretend not to care, and even go against her?"
"Cough." Pei Yunhe was walking slowly with Shan Yin's finger hooked, when he suddenly clenched his fist and coughed into his lips.
"Perhaps it's because you're still immature, you like someone but don't realize it, and you're afraid of offending them, so you have to find new ways to get closer to the person you like."
He thought of a word, "It's what young people call it - tsundere."
"If I don't give him a push, and Miss Lu really gets together with someone else, he'll waste many years and regret it to death."
"Pfft." Shan Yin couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Pei Yunhe stopped and turned around to look at Shan Yin in surprise.
But he didn't expect that Shan Yin was looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Hearing you describe it like that, it sounds like you're talking about yourself."
Pei Yunhe never expected that Shan Yin would involve him.
Dan Yin probably refers to his behavior when the two of them just got married.
And as Shan Yin said, he couldn't refute it at all.
"I...I was..."
Pei Yunhe's eyebrows wrinkled, and he pondered over what to say but could not find anything to say.
Just stare at her and act like a spoiled brat.
"I'm already this old, am I still immature?"
Shan Yin wanted to laugh but couldn't openly make fun of Pei Yunhe. Pei Yunhe looked immature in every way except for his appearance.
Pei Yunhe saw through Shan Yin's thoughts at a glance.
He frowned, intending to save face, "Shan Yin, are you saying that I've liked you for a long time? That I want to be close to you? I didn't realize you've become so shameless."
Dan Yin said nothing, and whether she liked it or not, there was always someone whispering in her ear every night.
It’s not that whatever she says is the truth.
Pei Yunhe was made even more embarrassed and annoyed by the smile in Dan Yin's eyes, but he still had to pretend. He took two steps forward, and his tall figure completely covered the entire area, blocking out the already sparse sunlight between the bamboo leaves.
The calming scent of sandalwood seemed somewhat dangerous. The Zhao family's toiletries were mixed with some sea buckthorn, and wisps of sweet and sour aroma were domineeringly occupying Dan Yin's nostrils.
Pei Yunhe lowered his voice and said, "Dan Yin, you've learned bad things."
Shan Yin hurriedly put her hands on his chest. Her slender fingers matched his clothes, and the pink color pressed out when she curled them up looked more like flowers blooming in the lush forest.
Just like her smile, it is gentle yet a little cute.
"But it's all good. You didn't waste many years, and you didn't regret it. Even if you were a little arrogant in the past, it won't be a big deal."
"I……"
No way.
It has been delayed for many years and I regret it so much.
That's why he could see through Zhao Xingqi's thoughts at a glance and knew how to give him some advice.
Looking at Shan Yin's smile, Pei Yunhe remained expressionless, but his mind was in a state of confusion.
He held Shan Yin's shoulders and curled his thin lips twice.
That's all.
After all, Shan Yin was smiling like a flower in front of him now, so the many years that had been wasted were nothing.
Just like Zhou Yan had advised him before, just be honest about everything to avoid any more setbacks.
Pei Yunhe suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I like you, so what."
His eyes fixed on Shan Yin's gaze, seeing through her heart, and he was not afraid at all that she would see the love in his heart.
"Shan Yin, you are my wife. If I don't like you, who should I like?"
Being honest doesn't seem that difficult.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Pei Yunhe felt more relieved and more confident.
"Of course I have to like you and want to be close to you. Is that not okay?"
Shan Yin was about to be melted by the love in his heart, how could she dare to say no, she just replied with a smile: "Okay, if you say yes, then it's okay."
Shan Yin is introverted and easy to talk to, and it is a rare performance for him to be willing to make fun of him. Pei Yunhe instantly regained the upper hand, closed his eyes, and became the cunning fox again.
"I'm talking to Shan Yin, don't laugh."
How can you be like her? Once she starts laughing, she never stops.
He emphasized: "Not only do I have to like you, you also have to like me and be close to me."
Shan Yin coaxed him like a child: "I don't dislike you, nor am I not close to you."
"Not enough, not enough at all."
Shan Yin had no choice but to smile and coax: "Then I will try harder."
"Your attitude doesn't seem like you're going to work hard."
"Then what attitude should I have?" Shan Yin asked humbly.
"At least don't laugh when you promise me!" Pei Yunhe even poked Shan Yin's mouth corner with his finger.
Shan Yin really felt that Pei Yunhe in front of him was like a big dog with its fur standing on end.
She suddenly wanted to stroke his fur, and her hand rose unconsciously. She tiptoed and gently stroked Pei Yunhe's head.
Pei Yunhe was stunned.
"W-What are you doing?"
Shan Yin still had a smile on his face. "If your attitude isn't good enough, make up for it with your actions. Okay?"
Pei Yunhe felt that he was even more furious!
That night, Shan Yin's unbearable expression and smiling face were intertwined in Pei Yunhe's mind, but no matter which one, it made him feel itchy.
He recalled the scene the day before yesterday when Shan Yin laughed at his popularity in the garden. He was halfway through pressing Shan Yin down when he suddenly grabbed Shan Yin with his backhand and picked her up.
Jianying was burning with anger again, and Shanyin couldn't swallow it anymore. She begged him whimperingly: "Don't, don't bother Pei Yunhe, it's so painful..."
He deliberately put on a stern face: "Who is making trouble with you? I told you not to laugh during the day, and you didn't listen. That bad boy will be scolded."
Dan Yin was half asleep and half awake, and he just felt that this person was too much.
"It's obviously you..."
It was obviously him who was teasing her.
But Pei Yunhe didn't care about that. After all, it wasn't the first or second time that he had violated the law in fishing.
"Still refutating? Then I'm really going to scold you."
No matter what Shan Yin wanted to say, he clamped her chin and forced her to kiss him.
His tongue forcefully pushed open her two red lips, flexibly reaching in and being completely held in her mouth.
As she sucked, there was a sound of water, and he was tightly wrapped by her, feeling warm and swollen.
Pei Yunhe clamped Shan Yin's wrists and sides with even greater force, his face stern and his expression indifferent.
He was like a law-abiding teacher, but also like a brutal and unreasonable bandit leader. How to move, how to stop, how to cry, how to laugh were all under his control.
Finally, he just held Shan Yin in his arms and sat on him, holding her tightly. Shan Yin's panting gradually turned into suppressed sobs, accompanied by the sound of the wind outside the window, and another night passed.
/
After leaving Mr. Bai's house, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday passed quickly, and Pei Yunhe had to return to Xiaohan to start dealing with a bunch of work that he found boring and uninteresting.
But he did not forget the invitation he had agreed to two days ago, which was to take Shan Yin to the charity dinner hosted by the Lu family.
He got off work early that day and made a special trip back to Yilanzhou to pick up Shan Yin. The two of them went to the gallery for a banquet together.
It is called a gallery, but it covers such a large area that it can almost be called an art museum.
The two-story building, with its front hall and back hall, is filled with artistic atmosphere and a strong sense of design. It exhibits dozens of paintings by famous artists, including many collections of celebrities and dignitaries.
Shan Yin was overwhelmed by what he saw and it was truly an eye-opener.
Pei Yunhe asked her if there was anything she liked and he would buy it for her and take it home.
"Some of these are things I've only heard of but never seen on the market. Can I really buy them?"
Shan Yin had participated in similar charity banquets and exhibitions before. She knew that many paintings were hard to come by and collectors would never exhibit them easily, let alone sell them at the cost of their love.
Pei Yunhe nodded, "Of course I can buy it."
He pointed at Lu Paner who was also strolling at the other end.
"Her cousin, not very old but full of character, was a notorious bully in North City. He was doing well there, but suddenly he insisted on going abroad to study. I heard he's been staying in Switzerland all these years and hasn't come back."
Shan Yin tilted his head and asked him, "What does that have to do with these paintings?"
"The proceeds from today's charity sale of these paintings will be donated to several hospitals in Beicheng and Nanqiao. I don't know what that person had in mind, but after hearing about it, he ordered people to buy these treasures from abroad."
Pei Yunhe shook his head and laughed.
"Given his temper and ability, since the paintings are here, it's natural for everyone to buy them."
Shan Yin understood.
No wonder Pei Yunhe said that day that these paintings were "looted".
It turns out that the essence of full energy lies here.
"So just choose whatever you like." Pei Yunhe changed the subject back, looking as if he would leave it to your own convenience.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look."
Dan Yin likes it, but it is not advisable to buy it indiscriminately.
There were still some paintings at the back that she hadn't seen yet, so she and Pei Yunhe walked slowly inside, holding the champagne.
The Lu family of Beicheng is very powerful. For this exhibition, they invited not only local celebrities and dignitaries from Nanqiao, but also some people who wanted to establish a relationship with the Lu family, and they tried every means to squeeze in.
The venue is large, inside and out, but there are also quite a few people. When people come and go, some familiar people always greet each other when they see each other.
Many people saw Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe walking together. One of them was noble and elegant, the other was dignified and gentle. They looked like a perfect couple when they walked together. But when people saw Pei Yunhe taking care of Shan Yin, they would praise their love for each other.
These words became more and more sincere. It was no longer the case that when I saw them before, I would say they were just a couple in name only.
The reason was that after Pei Yunhe had given Zhao Xingqi some advice at Mr. Bai's house that day, he looked back and weighed the pros and cons and thought hard. He didn't know what got him thinking, but he actually felt that Pei Yunhe was right.
Rather than marrying a boring girl from aristocratic family whom you may have never met, it is better to take the initiative and choose a childhood sweetheart whom you know well.
He and Lu Paner grew up together, what is there that they don't know about each other?
They know exactly how many grains of rice to eat in a meal, how many times to turn over when sleeping, how long it takes before yawning when listening to Bai Gongxun...
Besides, what Pei Yunhe said was not wrong. Although Lu Pan'er sometimes imitated Bai Gong's behavior and was very strict in managing him, and she didn't like to play around, she was a bit boring...
But Lu Paner is still very good-looking, has a soft and tender voice, and sings very nicely.
In his entire life, he had never seen many women who were prettier than Lu Paner or sang better than her.
Thinking about it this way, Zhao Xingqi felt that it was not a loss.
He immediately corrected his thoughts and became attentive to Lu Pan'er.
Although Lu Pan'er said he was crazy, Bai Gong also followed suit and asked if he was possessed by evil spirits, saying that it was unlikely that it was from the Dragon Boat Festival, and asked if he had hit his head...
But Zhao Xingqi didn't care and continued to "chase" Lu Pan'er, thinking about how to tell Mr. Bai and let the Zhao family propose to the Lu family.
But those are still long-term and cannot be rushed.
Zhao Xingqi is not an ungrateful person. Since Pei Yunhe was the one who suggested this good thing to him, he naturally has to thank Pei Yunhe.
So, taking advantage of the two days when the Lu and Zhao families were preparing for the exhibition and the dinner, Zhao Xingqi spread the news everywhere, praising his brother Yunhe for how good he was to Shan Yin and how loving they were.
Normally, the guests would just listen and think it was just a superficial act, so they would just laugh it off.
But Zhao Xingqi was a simple-minded person. Whenever he saw that the other party had any doubts, he would definitely bring up various examples and tell him how good Pei Yunhe was to Shan Yin in the house, until the other party was stunned and forced to believe it.
Zhao Xingqi’s efforts paid off, so the situation finally turned out like this.
When the guests saw Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe, they all put on an aunt's smile and praised them sincerely.
"A good match."
Zhao Xingqi also said that he would publish an advertisement in the newspaper to commend the two of them, saying that they were role models among the model couples in Nanqiao.
Pei Yunhe didn't mind, but he was concerned about Shan Yin's thin skin, so he quickly asked him to stop.
"Did you see that? That seems to be the young master of the Li family. I've seen him staring at Miss Lu many times this evening. If you don't go over and follow him, he might strike first."
Zhao Xingqi looked over and saw someone following Lu Pan'er stealthily.
How can this be tolerated?
He said goodbye immediately and strode over to push the man away.
Pei Yunhe was laughing on this end, and Shan Yin was also a little bit amused and helpless.
"Let's go, there's more to see later."
"good."
Pei Yunhe took Shan Yin's arm and walked again. When they passed by the two of them not far away, he raised his glass to them again from a distance.
Pei Yunhe also raised his glass and nodded, but when he wanted to hug Shan Yin again, he suddenly found that her body was stiff.
"how?"
Shan Yin didn't answer him, so he had to look forward following Shan Yin's gaze.
Among those people, a man who was talking with his back to them also turned around when his companion raised his hand to signal.
He was not young, but looked middle-aged, with a one-centimeter-long beard and a few strands of gray on his temples.
But he was tall, dressed neatly and elegantly, and when he held his head high and chest out, his eyes and brows had nothing to do with aging. Instead, they flashed with shrewdness and cunning, like a beast ready to pounce.
He just stared at Shan Yin, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense.
Not to mention Dan Yin, even Pei Yunhe felt very uncomfortable.
He frowned suddenly and stood in front of Shan Yin with his waist.
Unexpectedly, the man spoke from a distance and called out, "Shan Yin."
The person behind him, although unwilling, still endured and replied: "Second Uncle."
