Chapter 5: The fifth day of restraint. How about you come and sleep on the bed with me...
When we came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sun was shining brightly. A few birds flew across the blue sky, nestled among the green leaves on the treetops, expressing their deep love.
Spring is coming, and it seems that this season should be full of new things and greenery.
Shan Yin liked Nan Qiao's beauty, and her mood did not change for the worse. Holding the two red books in her hands, she went straight to the Bentley driven by Pei Yunhe.
"etc."
But Pei Yunhe stopped her.
His expression was not happy, and there was a small wrinkle between his brows, winding and undulating in this spring scenery, with some wind and snow hidden in the clouds.
Shan Yin stopped and wondered what Pei Yunhe was dissatisfied with. When he came to his senses, Pei Yunhe was already striding out of the Civil Affairs Bureau yard.
It was his negligence after all.
I actually forgot to prepare a bouquet of flowers for her.
Seeing newlyweds walking around outside the yard with bouquets of flowers, he felt remorseful and was anxiously thinking about how to make up for it without appearing too deliberate and making her feel more fulfilled. At this moment, he happened to catch a glimpse of an old man selling flowers on the ground.
He took two steps at a time, got closer to take a look, and found it even more ingenious.
It is warm in Nanqiao in April, and the flowers and plants bloom earlier than in other places.
On the small stall in front of the old man were three small flowers with white colors and a hint of tender yellow: gardenia, jasmine and yellow jasmine.
Some are scattered in packages and used as sachets, some are strung together like wind chimes, and some are made into wreaths and bracelets.
He smiled lightly and took out his phone, "I want them all."
So when he came back in dark black clothes, carrying an armful of yellow and white flowers, Shan Yin was surprised by the incongruous picture.
But until the fragrance of flowers approached, he walked in front of her, his eyes melted the ice and snow, bringing back the spring scenery behind the distant mountains, and his eyes slightly raised.
Shan Yin also felt that Pei Yunhe was somewhat gentle and elegant.
"Here you go." Pei Yunhe gestured to Shan Yin to take the flower.
But there are too many flowers and I don’t know where to start.
“Why buy so much?”
Because I want to give it to you.
I want to give you this spring beauty and the best.
Pei Yunhe's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked away, "The old man is anxious to go back, do a good deed, be kind."
"Oh." Shan Yin had no doubt about it.
Seeing that Shan Yin was reluctant to move, Pei Yunhe walked to the car again and tilted his head. Shan Yin understood and opened the back door for him.
Pei Yunhe put all the flowers into the car. For a moment, the car was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers, and the cold metal was tinged with a hint of tenderness.
It seems that from now on, whenever I smell the fragrance of this flower in this car, I will think of the person who matches it.
He raised his upper body and came out from the back seat of the car. At the moment before closing the door, he leaned over and picked out a yellow jasmine with his hands.
Turning around, he saw Shan Yin standing behind him. Pei Yunhe's gaze fell on Shan Yin's slender neck and the second button of her cheongsam.
His hands acted quickly as he thought. He pinched the flower and brought it close to the pearl button. With two fingers, he flexibly circled it, and the yellow jasmine flower hung down on her chest, which matched her light black long hair and crescent white cheongsam very well, just like an antique ink painting.
Shan Yin lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing whether she should think Pei Yunhe's behavior was abrupt. Then she heard a "click" sound, and she looked up in a daze, looking into the camera of the mobile phone in Pei Yunhe's hand.
“Crack.”
Another sound.
"Why are you filming me?"
"nothing."
He touched the high nose bone with his index finger, and his broad palm blocked the faint smile on his lips. The phone turned between the fingertips of his other hand, and he got into the car.
"Let's go, let's eat."
Shan Yin had no choice but to follow him to the passenger seat.
It was almost time for dinner. Shan Yin sat in the passenger seat and put away the two red books. Before he asked where they were going to eat, Pei Yunhe's cell phone rang. He didn't even look at it and gently threw it into Shan Yin's hand.
"Help me answer it."
The caller was Xi Minxia. Dan Yin tilted his head, as if Pei Yunhe had expected it.
The moment the hands-free button was pressed, Xi Minxia's voice came out urgently from the receiver.
"Ahe! Why did you suddenly go get the marriage certificate? The date hasn't even been chosen yet!"
Shan Yin looked at Pei Yunhe's profile. He raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating Shan Yin to speak directly.
Shan Yin moistened her lower lip and said, "Aunt, I'm Shan Yin. Pei... He's driving, so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone."
After he finished speaking, he felt that several titles in one sentence were not used properly. Dan Yin straightened his body awkwardly and sat upright in the passenger seat.
"Ah? It's Yinyin."
Hearing Shan Yin's voice, Xi Minxia's urgency in her tone indeed eased a lot. Shan Yin couldn't help but feel that Pei Yunhe had expected this to happen and that was why he let her answer the call.
Xi Minxia paused and asked again: "Did you guys discuss this, getting the marriage certificate?"
"I guess so."
Xi Minxia had nothing to say. She could blame Pei Yunhe, but she was too embarrassed to blame Shan Yin.
So he changed the subject a few times and just said, "In that case, come home for dinner today. We'll be waiting for you."
"OK."
Xi Minxia chatted with Shan Yin for a few more words and said goodbye. Shan Yin wanted to ask Pei Yunhe if he had anything else to say, but Xi Minxia had already hung up the phone.
Shan Yin held Pei Yunhe's cell phone in his hand. He wanted to hand it back to Pei Yunhe but was afraid of disturbing him while he was driving. Moreover, Pei Yunhe had no intention of taking the phone back.
He didn't use the navigation system, nor did he need one. The car got on the elevated highway early in the morning, and it was obvious that it was the road back to Songlingju.
Shan Yin couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Pei Yunhe had already expected Xi Minxia to call and ask questions, and also expected Xi Minxia to ask them to go back for dinner?
So you planned to return to Songlingju when you left the Civil Affairs Bureau?
His thoughts were so changeable that she couldn't predict them. She stared at him for a few seconds and then looked away.
To be polite, she wanted to turn off Pei Yunhe's phone screen, but when she lowered her eyes inadvertently, she unexpectedly saw her own figure.
When I answered Xi Minxia's call, the interface was WeChat Moments, and there was a capital H on the right side of the blue sky and white clouds avatar.
The circle of friends below was posted a few minutes ago and has no captions, only a photo.
He had just put the yellow jasmine on her head and took the photo when she wasn't paying attention.
There was nothing wrong with her clothes and expression. She was wearing a crescent-white cheongsam with lush green trees behind her. She was a painting just standing there.
The two red books in his hands are even more eye-catching.
People have been giving likes and congratulations in the comment section, and Pei Yunmiao's name is among them. This explains why Xi Minxia's call came so quickly.
only.
Shan Yin never thought that Pei Yunhe would publish the photos of her and their marriage certificate.
If they are a couple, this action can be regarded as an official announcement, an expression of open and honest declaration of feelings.
But they are not, so there is no need to do this, as long as those close to them know it.
If Pei Yunhe had a confidante by his side in the past, present or future, this would only cause him trouble for no reason.
But I didn't expect Pei Yunhe to do it anyway. He seemed quite calm and not afraid at all, and even seemed to want others to know.
Shan Yin couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he held his phone and rubbed the frame with his thumb unconsciously.
Pei Yunhe caught a glimpse of this from the corner of his eye and simply said, "Add WeChat."
"What?"
"Add WeChat." Pei Yunhe glanced at her hand and said, "You have my phone. Add us on WeChat."
Shan Yin was a little slow to react. Pei Yunhe frowned and seemed a little unhappy again.
Shan Yin immediately said: "I'm not suitable..."
It is not appropriate to look at his WeChat interface.
"Lock screen password 1122, my birthday."
“…”
"That's easy to remember. Remember."
“…”
"I can't move my hands, please help me operate it."
He didn't hide it from others, but was very open with them, fearing that she wouldn't see it.
Shan Yin had no choice but to pick up his phone again and scan their WeChat.
He was finally satisfied, and his long eyelashes fluttered twice like a fan, looking at the bright spring scenery ahead.
"You can't be married without even sharing all your contact information. Isn't that right, ma'am?"
/
When they arrived at Songlingju, Xi Minxia couldn't help but nag them.
Xi Minxia is a Buddhist, and she had chosen a wedding date that was a once-in-a-century good day, so there was nothing she could do if she was a little anxious.
She originally wanted to choose a good day for the two of them to get their marriage certificate, but she didn't expect them to act without her knowledge and only let her know after they posted the photos on their Moments. Naturally, she was very angry.
The main concern is that the couple will not get along in the future.
Finally, Pei Yunmiao took out the almanac and showed it to Xi Minxia. After all, she said that today was an auspicious day, especially the time when Pei Yunhe got the marriage certificate alone. It was suitable for getting married, getting married, and even having children. Only then did she look happy.
Just nagging for a whole meal was not enough. Shan Yin also felt that it was not appropriate for them to get the marriage certificate without consulting their elders, so she let Xi Minxia keep nagging her for the whole afternoon and brought Pei Yunhe along to comfort her.
Xi Minxia still sighed that neither of the two people in the family was as caring as Dan Yin.
At dinner time, Pei Kelang and Pei Yunmiao's husband Zhou Yan came back together, and the family of six sat together to eat.
Xi Minxia was so happy that her eyes were filled with smiles. She was afraid that Shan Yin would not be used to it, so she would personally add more dishes to Shan Yin from time to time, and asked Pei Yunhe to look after him all the time. She was so considerate.
But after three rounds of drinks, they talked about getting married again. Xi Minxia felt sorry for Shan Yin and was afraid of letting her down. She said that the wedding was too hasty and she couldn't make Shan Yin, the bride, completely satisfied.
Shan Yin shook his head and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these."
Pei Yunmiao felt distressed, "I feel wronged! Brother didn't even propose to you. There was no sense of ceremony at all."
Pei Yunhe gave her a cold look and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
With Zhou Yan around, Pei Yunmiao wasn't afraid of Pei Yunhe at all. "That's right. Brother Zhou Yan even proposed to me back then. What about you? You took advantage of me so much and married my sister-in-law. Is that right?"
Shan Yin had a gentle smile on her face, and she really wanted to say that it was okay...
Pei Yunhe became increasingly unhappy. No one at the table was a good vent to him. He turned his chopsticks and placed them on the chopstick rest, facing Pei Yunmiao's husband Zhou Yan, who was also his long-time friend.
"You've been married for so many years and you still haven't changed your ways. You keep calling me brother. If someone doesn't know, they would think you're brother and sister."
Zhou Yan on the opposite side looked up nonchalantly, without stopping his hands, he peeled another shrimp and put it on the plate in front of Pei Yunmiao.
"She can be called whatever she likes."
The narrow eyebrows raised, saying "I am happy with it".
Pei Yunhe was caught off guard and was shown off by these two people again, and he asked for trouble.
Suddenly, a soft voice was heard, and a piece of his favorite dish appeared on Pei Yunhe's plate.
Shan Yinduanfang smiled gently at him and looked at the others.
"I don't like grand ceremonies. I prefer simplicity."
His heart instantly softened, as if a wisp of cloud had landed lightly on his heart. The sharp thorns softened at the touch, and the tangled roots and tangles turned to soft cotton, gently carrying him up to the cloud.
Then he threw him down again.
Pei Yunhe gritted his teeth, and the muscles on the side of his face moved slightly.
He didn't want to be noticed, so he lowered his head, but he forgot that he had dressed up specially today, and his bangs on his forehead refused to fall down. He reached out and touched the corners of his eyes to block Shan Yin's gaze.
He tried to save face by saying, "Yes, she doesn't like it."
Never liked it.
At the start of the school day, a girl from the same grade confessed her love to him in front of the entire school using a loud speaker. Two banners clearly displaying her love were stretched from the rooftop to the bottom of the circular teaching building. This scene shocked a large number of people inside and outside the school, and also frightened Yun Sulai's little white rabbit.
Shan Yin probably mistook him, an unsuspecting young man, for a playboy who only knew how to flirt with other women and not work hard. She was a quiet and low-key person to begin with, so after deliberately avoiding him, they never even made eye contact in class again.
Until one day he was called to the office for a lecture, and Shan Yin happened to come to Lao Bai to submit some additional information. Only then did he see her look at him for the second time, and it was not straight in the eye.
The school found out that the confession was made by the girl herself and had nothing to do with Pei Yunhe. Pei Yunhe didn't even remember her name.
But the necessary instructions and education must not be missed, and Lao Bai has already been reading to him for most of the class.
During the break, Shan Yin came over. Lao Baikou was also done, but he didn't want to let Pei Yunhe go easily. After thinking about it, he said, "Shan Yin is new here. She has textbooks and study materials. You can take her with you."
Pei Yunhe walked down the stairs, took the task and left with Shan Yin.
He strode ahead, and she followed with her head down, not saying a word.
He rarely had the urge to think seriously that if he stopped suddenly, she would bump into his back.
And he did so. The area on his back connected to his heart shook violently, causing his heart to stop for a beat, but it felt so soft.
He curled the corners of his mouth.
Before the two of them could say anything, a sharp female voice came between them.
"She's the one you like?!"
It was the girl who had made a high-profile confession. She was also from a wealthy family. After a few days of uproar, she was reprimanded and punished, but was still released. Now she was reprimanded again in the office and was about to return to class.
Suddenly seeing Pei Yunhe and Shan Yin walking together, and they were so close, the girl thought that Pei Yunhe refused to accept her confession because he liked Shan Yin.
Her voice was sharp, and she had an aura that didn't allow anyone else to interfere.
Shan Yin tidied up the loose hair on his forehead several times, then stepped aside and kept a distance of several bodies from Pei Yunhe.
She didn't look at Pei Yunhe, nor at the girl. She just looked at the ground with her eyes downcast, expressionless and indifferent.
"I don't like anything that's grand and ostentatious, and I don't like people who have been liked by others in a high-profile way."
Pei Yunhe laughed out of anger. He didn't do anything and yet he was disliked?
Hearing her repeat this sentence many years later, Pei Yunhe couldn't help but want to save some face for himself.
Looking at the dishes on the plate that he usually liked, he lost his appetite and didn't pick up his chopsticks. When he stood up, the chair leg made a harsh sound.
"If you don't like it, forget it."
Until dinner was over, Xi Minxia and Pei Yunmiao chatted with Shan Yin for a long time, and Pei Yunhe did not come out of the room again.
Xi Minxia asked someone to call him, but the aunt who lived there only said that Pei Yunhe seemed to be feeling unwell and seemed to be resting. Xi Minxia embarrassedly comforted Shan Yin, but Shan Yin said that it was okay.
"We've already got the marriage certificate, so why not just stay home today and save ourselves the hassle of traveling back and forth?"
Shan Yin wanted to refuse, as she could drive back to Yilanzhou by herself. But then she remembered her aunt saying Pei Yunhe was not feeling well, and Shan Yin felt a little guilty. After all, most of his unhappiness was because of her.
Then he relaxed: "Sorry to bother you then."
"We're all family, so what's the point of disturbing me or not? Ah He's room has everything, so feel free to stay here for a long time."
Shan Yin couldn't refuse anymore, so after cleaning up and washing up, he walked hesitantly to the door of Pei Yunhe's room.
He didn't lock the door. She knocked twice and heard a faint response from inside, so she opened the door and went in.
This should be the room where Pei Yunhe lives in Songlingju. It has the same slightly simple decoration style as the outside. There are several rooms inside and outside. Dan Yin did not see Pei Yunhe at first sight.
But she thought that he must be a very neat and clean person, and his room was tidied in an orderly manner. At the same time, he should have some romance, and there were flowers and plants in several corners, all of which were carefully cared for.
Can't you see he also loves flowers?
Shan Yin walked a few steps into the inner room. The sandalwood scent lingering around her nose became stronger. She tilted her head and saw that Pei Yunhe was indeed lying on the bed in a bad mood, looking not very well.
She wanted to call him, but he opened his eyes first while she hesitated.
He was surprised for a moment when he saw that the person coming was not the aunt who lived there.
"you……"
"You are not feeling well, so Auntie asked us to stay in Songling tonight."
There was no need to say what she meant. Pei Yunhe blinked, his pupils moving around in his eye sockets. He looked around the room to see if there was a suitable place to rest.
There was a small couch for resting in the outer room, but there was no pillow or bedding, and it would be too much trouble to ask someone to bring it.
Fortunately, there was a sofa chair in the inner room, where he could barely spend the night.
Without waiting for Shan Yin to say anything else, Pei Yunhe frowned, touched his forehead with his arm, stood up, took his clothes and walked into the bathroom.
"You can go to bed after you finish washing up. The bed is yours."
Shan Yin didn't expect that he had only been in Nanqiao for a few days, but he not only occupied Pei Yunhe's house, but now even his bed.
She felt a little guilty, but she had never thought about sleeping in the same bed with anyone.
She sat on the bed like this for a long time, torn between her conscience and her desires, until Pei Yunhe came out of the bathroom again. He looked at her blankly while wiping his hair with a towel, then turned around and lay down on the sofa chair without saying a word.
The sofa chair made a creaking sound and he tossed and turned repeatedly. It was indeed not easy for a man of 186 cm in height to sleep.
He was covered only with a thin flannel blanket, which did not provide much warmth on this spring night.
Shan Yin thought of the aunt who lived there saying that he was not feeling well, and thought that he was not feeling well, and was very worried that he would catch a cold.
"How about I sleep on the sofa?" she suddenly said.
Pei Yunhe seemed to have heard something out of the blue. He suddenly turned around to face her and sat up straight.
"What?"
Who did he take him for? Fighting with a woman for her bed?
But Shan Yin misunderstood again, thinking that he really minded her sleeping on the sofa chair that he used for himself.
"I'll sleep on the sofa... or I can sleep on the floor."
There was nothing she couldn't do with a blanket for the night.
"Tsk." He sneered, turned over and lay back down, not wanting to argue with her, and covered his head and ears with the flannel blanket.
She is simply too outrageous.
But in Shan Yin's opinion, this behavior meant that she was not satisfied with her in every way.
She really couldn't bear to argue with a patient, and she was thinking that she had offended this person. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she suddenly called him.
"Or, you can come and sleep on the bed together."
His bed is big anyway.
There were a few rustling sounds, and before she could react to what she had said, the person who had been lying silently on the sofa was in front of her in the blink of an eye.
