Chapter 69: The Sixty-Nineth Day of Restraint You Don’t Have to Move. I’ll Do It.
After leaving the convenience store, the two did not return to the ward immediately, but continued to walk slowly in the hospital to bask in the sun.
Nowadays, most hospitals pay attention to humanitarian care. The gardens and playgrounds are well-maintained, with green trees everywhere. Grape vines climb the towering stone pillars and meander gracefully, hanging down strands of green and casting a comfortable shade.
Shan Yin pushed Pei Yunhe to the corridor to rest. Pei Yunhe opened a box of milk for her and put it to her lips.
Shan Yin lowered his head and took a sip from Pei Yunhe's hand. The rich milky aroma and sweetness quickly spread between his lips and teeth.
She smiled, then picked it up herself and sat on the stone bench next to Pei Yunhe's wheelchair.
Pei Yunhe likes Dan Yin like this, playful and cute like the tiny grape vines curled above his head.
He asked her, "If you like it, I'll order it for you every day when we get back to Nanqiao?"
Shan Yin nodded and asked him, "Is there anything you particularly like to eat? If so, I can make it for you in the future."
"I'm fine with anything. I'll eat whatever you cook." Pei Yunhe replied.
He is not too particular about food and drink.
"Did you get snacks and drinks at school?"
She probably also remembered the cafeteria in her class in high school. While sipping milk, she looked up at Pei Yunhe.
But before Pei Yunhe could answer, he happened to see two girls in their early twenties passing by not far away. They were stealing glances at Pei Yunhe, just like young girls in love peeping at a handsome young man.
Shan Yin blinked, and the milk in his mouth seemed to no longer be sweet in an instant.
She let go of the straw and looked at Pei Yunhe again: "Were you very popular with girls when you were in school? There must have been a lot of girls giving you love letters and snacks, right?"
Pei Yunhe didn't know what was wrong with Shan Yin today. He kept talking about his student days, which scared him several times.
Now that he was asked such a question about death, there was no way he could answer it.
He glanced around, the shadow of the vines cast on the side of his face, hiding some of the panic in his eyes.
"No," he muttered, "I'm the only one who gives out love letters and snacks to others."
Shan Yin's eyes widened in surprise, "Is this true?"
Hearing that Shan Yin still didn't believe it, Pei Yunhe regained some confidence in his dissatisfaction in his awkwardness.
He turned around, stared at Shan Yin, and said angrily, "Yes, of course it's true. I gave it to someone but they didn't appreciate it. They just left without saying anything. They completely denied me with just one sentence and even forgot about me. I'm so humble."
He looked a bit angry and embarrassed. Shan Yin remembered what Pei Yunmiao said, that Pei Yunhe had failed to confess his love to someone in high school. He didn't expect that this was actually true.
In an instant, a variety of emotions mixed together, and Dan Yin subconsciously burst out laughing.
But when she covered her mouth and continued to laugh, a sour feeling unconsciously seeped out from the bottom of her heart, resonating in her chest, corroding back and forth, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Dan Yin, don't laugh. My injury will be healed in a few days." Pei Yunhe suddenly spoke, lowering his voice and threatening secretly.
He hadn't meant to say that casually, but after hearing what he said, Shan Yin really stopped smiling and his expression gradually became gloomy.
She remembered the bitterness that rose in her heart under the moonlight after visiting her parents at the cemetery that day, and the unreasonable assumptions in her mind.
"Pei Yunhe." She called out to him, and before he could react, the words had already slipped out: "If the person you were marrying wasn't me, I mean if, have you ever thought about this possibility? Then, would you also be so kind to that person?"
She saw Pei Yunhe's eyes shake slightly, and the wind brought a faint fragrance from under the grape vines. The shadow on Pei Yunhe's face was lifted, and bright sunlight was reflected in his eyes.
"Won't."
His answer was simple and straightforward, with a certainty and even a decisiveness.
He answered almost the next second after Shan Yin asked the question, which made Shan Yin even more surprised. The awkward feeling she had originally felt disappeared without a trace, and she stared at Pei Yunhe in surprise.
Pei Yunhe smiled lightly, his eyes so gentle that they seemed to ooze water, as if he was coaxing a little animal that depended on him wholeheartedly, but was also a little jealous and upset.
He didn't expect Shan Yin to ask this, but since she asked, he told her the answer that he had already determined in his heart thousands of times.
"I treat you well because you are Shan Yin. I don't deny that you are my wife by marriage, but this is only one of your identities. In the final analysis, it is because you are Shan Yin."
He spoke slowly, and Shan Yin understood him. But precisely because she understood him, a hint of red appeared on the tip of her ear. She lowered her head and blamed Pei Yunhe for speaking like a tongue twister, which she couldn't understand.
Pei Yunhe smiled gently and let her scold him.
Shan Yin didn't look at him, but continued to ask: "What if it's not me who is marrying you?"
She didn't say the latter sentence explicitly, but Pei Yunhe knew what she was talking about.
She was asking, if the person being arranged to marry wasn't her, would he still agree?
"If it wasn't you who was being arranged to marry me... Shan Yin, have you ever considered that I might not be someone who would get married to anyone?"
Shan Yin looked up in surprise for a moment, imagining his answer when she asked him why there were only cars of the same brand in the garage.
"Is it possible that I am a single-minded person?"
But the word "loyal" doesn't seem to apply to her. They got married just after they met.
There was a hint of doubt in Shan Yin's eyes. Pei Yunhe smiled and changed the way he said it, replying to Shan Yin with the same words he had used to answer Zhou Yan.
Because he had already seen it clearly, no matter how many times he was asked, the answer in his heart remained the same.
"Single chant, no ifs."
"If that person isn't you, I'll be clear about my feelings before getting married. I can't just end my life with someone else so hastily. There are countless ways to exchange interests."
"Besides, there are no ifs in this world. It is you that I marry. This is God's will. Zhou Yan said that we are a match made in heaven. My love is destined to be only for you."
The calm yet passionate confession struck Dan Yin's heart directly in the summer breeze.
She saw two lovebirds flying in the bright sky in the distance, she saw the twisted and winding grape vines entwined and leaning on each other at the end of the corridor, and she saw white-haired old people holding hands and walking side by side on the hospital path, talking and laughing.
She also saw Pei Yunhe sitting quietly in front of her, in the interlaced light and shadow, and then he stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards her.
Dan Yin felt a lump in his throat, and some answers seemed not so important anymore.
Pei Yunhe is right, there is no if.
Just think of it as the blessing she earned in her previous life. Oh no, in Pei Yunhe's words, she deserves it.
Suddenly, Shan Yin laughed again. She shook her head, walked over, and put her hand in Pei Yunhe's palm.
/
Pei Yunhe stayed in the hospital for nearly a week. He really didn't want Shan Yin to work hard anymore, so he insisted that he was not comfortable staying in the hospital. After getting the doctor's permission, he was discharged.
Before returning to the Su family mansion, the two went to Su Daosheng's place.
Su Daosheng's condition was getting better day by day. Shan Yin knew that Pei Yunhe was concerned about his work and wanted him to recover more comfortably, so he said goodbye to Su Daosheng and it was time to accompany Pei Yunhe back to Nanqiao.
Pei Yunhe said it didn't matter and that he could stay in Yunsu for a while longer, but Su Daosheng didn't care much.
He looked at Shan Yin with a kind look and said, "It's better to go back. What's the point of staying in the hospital all day to watch over an old man like me? You two should go back and live a good life."
Pei Yunhe knew that they had a deep affection for each other as grandparents and grandchildren, and was afraid that Shan Yin would worry about Su Daosheng, and also afraid that Su Daosheng would be reluctant to leave Shan Yin.
"Grandpa, it's okay. Shan Yin and I will accompany you for a while."
"No, no." Su Daosheng waved his hands.
He looked at Pei Yunhe, whose feet were still wrapped in gauze and had a brace, but he still reached out to hold Shan Yin, helping her stand and sit comfortably, showing his considerateness.
He remembered what Su Wan had told him a few days ago, that this boy from the Pei family was truly devoted in love, and he had nothing to worry about as Shan Yin would be with Pei Yunhe in the future.
"It's not like we won't see each other in the future. You young people have your own things to do. Career is important, family is important too. You don't have to be constrained by me all the time." Su Daosheng was open-minded and tolerant. "Go back as soon as possible. When you have time, come back to Yunsu to live."
Pei Yunhe wanted to say something, but Shan Yin nodded and came over to pull him, so he had to give up and chat with Su Daosheng for a while.
Before leaving, Su Daosheng called Pei Yunhe and glanced at Shan Yin beside him.
"Yinyin is not very smart. I hope you can continue to be more patient in the future."
Pei Yunhe and Shan Yin were both stunned, but soon, Pei Yunhe saw Su Wan walking outside the ward and instantly understood.
But Shan Yin didn't understand and said angrily: "Grandpa!"
Su Daosheng laughed, and Pei Yunhe suddenly took Shan Yin's hand and said to Su Daosheng solemnly: "My grandfather."
He raised Shan Yin's hand and smiled, "Besides, she has already come to her senses now."
Shan Yin was puzzled by these cryptic words. Even when they packed their luggage and lay in bed at night, Shan Yin still felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.
She turned over and asked Pei Yunhe what this meant. Pei Yunhe lowered his eyes, glanced at her, and smiled, "It's a secret."
Shan Yin frowned instantly.
Pei Yunhe had only met and spoken with Su Daosheng a few times? So there was a secret? And she hadn't been told yet.
Shan Yin felt strange and her heart was itchy. She always felt that Pei Yunhe was cunningly teasing her.
She simply stood up and looked down at Pei Yunhe from the side. "Grandpa and I have never had any secrets. Tell me now."
But what can Pei Yunhe say?
He couldn't possibly tell everyone that they were high school classmates and that he had a crush on her, but she was the only one who didn't know, right?
This is not a good time and there is no need to bring it up.
A cool breeze blew outside the window. The temperature dropped sharply in the past two days due to the typhoon. Even in the summer night, the wind added a hint of coolness.
There was no air conditioning in the room. Yin lifted up the thin blanket and uncovered it. Pei Yunhe was afraid she would catch a cold, so he reached out and held her arm, "Lie down first."
But Shan Yin was stubborn, and stared at Pei Yunhe with his clever fox eyes, "I won't, I won't if you don't tell me."
Pei Yunhe smiled and pulled her arm with a little force, but she really refused to move.
"Be good and listen. It's not good to catch a cold."
In the struggle between the two, Pei Yunhe was stronger in the end. Shan Yin's thin arms and legs could not hold on, and she was pulled into his arms in one go.
She leaned on his chest, and wanted to get up for fear of touching his wound, but Pei Yunhe held her back firmly.
"I'm almost well now. How come I can't support your weight?"
Shan Yin arched a pair of eyes from between his chest, keeping a distance from him in a cold and clear voice, "Who is afraid of hurting you? I said I won't lie down if you don't tell me."
Pei Yunhe smiled and rubbed the back of her neck. Shan Yin was still struggling, but a soft and gentle ball of cricket pupae lay on him, and the refreshing fragrance after taking a bath surrounded him.
His voice dropped a few notches, and he had no choice but to coax her: "It's not a secret. Grandpa just said that you are not smart in love affairs, and asked me to be more accommodating to you."
Shan Yin was unhappy after hearing this and turned over to lie half on Pei Yunhe, "What's wrong with me?"
The two people were so close to each other that their breathing was almost entangled.
The moment their eyes met, it was like a fire was ignited. In response to the dim orange light in the house, Dan Yin suddenly seemed to hear the thunderous sound of each other's heartbeats.
It was indeed a long time since they had been close to each other. Pei Yunhe's reaction to her was obvious. She couldn't say how obsessed she was with him, but her body had already been trained and educated.
A glance, a breath, and the necessary reaction was already in her mind.
Besides, she had just said that she was not stupid. Dan Yin lightly closed her eyelashes and reached down.
"hiss--"
Pei Yunhe gasped in unbearable pain. Her hands were soft and cold, and the heat that had been trapped by the waist belt for a long time was relieved.
He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and read a bit of successful cunning in those cold fox eyes.
Shan Yin held it firmly in his hand while staring at Pei Yunhe's gaze, "What's wrong with me?"
Pei Yunhe was speechless after being pressed by her.
Although he knew that she had misunderstood the term "affair", this unprecedented initiative and leadership made his heart surge and he could hardly resist.
His throat rolled, and he swallowed the words he wanted to explain. He stared at Shan Yin and said slowly: "It's open, and it can be opened further."
These words made Shan Yin's cheeks turn redder, and the orange light shining on her face made her look even more charming and beautiful.
She obviously realized that he was too young, so she slowed down her movements and suddenly let go.
Pei Yunhe let out the breath that was stuck in his throat, thinking that she was shy and it would be better if she didn't continue. After all, he was still injured and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to perform well.
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Shan Yin suddenly lifted up the quilt that had long been dispensable, put on a thin layer, turned over and sat directly opposite him.
The air that had just been exhaled was sucked back in again. Pei Yunhe's pupils constricted. He had never seen such a single chant before, and it excited him so much that his waist could not help but tremble.
"You don't have to move. I'll do it."
Dan Yin gritted his teeth while saying just six short words, his cheeks red as if blood could drip out.
But she managed the transition from shyness to letting go, and from unfamiliarity to ease very well, as if she wanted to prove something, and the spirit of not admitting defeat burst out in her body.
Time and time again, she fully pleased Pei Yunhe and also pleased herself.
Pei Yunhe freed her red lips from her pearly teeth as usual, invaded her mouth with his fingers, and then leaned over and kissed her fiercely.
He held her waist, asking her to perform better.
The coolness brought by the evening breeze was no match for the humid heat in the room.
When they were deeply moved, they heard the wooden swing in the yard being blown by the wind.
Squeak, squeak—
Just like the sound of the old bed beneath me, it is pleasant to the ears.
