The lake is not far from the yard where she lives.
The last time she came was in winter. She was still blind at that time and never thought that there would be snakes on the farm in summer.
"Don't worry." Pei Yuqing didn't expect that a casual remark would scare people. He quickly comforted her, "The servants around you will take care of it. Otherwise, take me to the yard to have a look."
If the master doesn't know something, how can the servants not know it?
And the farm managers, how could they not be properly prepared? If snakes, insects, rats and ants really disturbed their masters...
Thinking this way, Xie Wan Ning was not so nervous anymore.
But his eyes were still fixed on the weeds on the lake.
Pei Er had already followed orders and went over there to investigate. Only after she confirmed that there were no snakes or insects did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Which girl is not afraid of snakes? She has also seen snake dealers in the market, with colorful snakes of varying sizes wrapped around their arms. Just one look at them from a distance gave her goose bumps.
Pei Yuqing pulled her to sit on the stone, bent down and looked at her: "I said the wrong thing just now, there are no snakes here, don't let it scare you and keep you awake tonight."
"..." Xie Wan Ning looked at him speechlessly: "Am I so timid in your eyes?"
Isn't that timid?
The slightest disturbance would disturb me and I would toss and turn all night long, unable to sleep.
...and a little crybaby.
Thinking of the little girl who was wrapped in thick fur, suffered from eye disease, and always wanted to shed tears when he first met her, Pei Yuqing felt incredibly soft-hearted.
He sighed softly and said with a smile: "It's okay for a girl to be a little timid."
"..." Xie Wan Ning was really unhappy. She grabbed his sleeve, tugged it, and snorted, "I think you are timid. You are hesitant and timid. You don't know what you are afraid of."
Pei Yuqing was stunned by the suggestive words and did not respond for a long time.
If it were normal, if he backed off, Xie Wan Ning would just let him go. After all, she had no intention of having any emotional involvement with any man again, but that was not possible now.
Ever since Lu Ziyan broke into the mansion at night, sneaked into her boudoir, and pestered her, forcing her to wait for him to come back, Xie Wan Ning's idea of getting rid of him by marrying someone else became uncontrollable.
Lu Ziyan had finally left the capital. If she really waited for him to return after making achievements, they would have to enter the next round of entanglement.
Will it be easy to get rid of him then?
If he could do something like breaking into her bedroom at night, what else could he not do?
Xie Wan Ning didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Thinking of this, she became even more angry when she looked at the man in front of her.
He clearly had feelings for her, and seemed deeply in love with her, but he just refused to be brave enough.
You dare to say that she is timid.
She was not timid at all. Facing Lu Ziyan's cold face, she had been moving forward bravely for so long, becoming more and more courageous with each setback, until she finally woke up from those painful dreams.
And what about him?
He is a coward!
In the night, the girl's gaze was so intense that it could be said that Pei Yuqing turned his face away when she looked at him.
"Do you still remember what you said," Xie Wan Ning said, "If I can remember who you are, you will promise me one thing?"
Pei Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked up at her without saying a word.
"It doesn't count anymore?" Xie Wan Ning felt her heart sinking, and pursed her lips: "Forget it then."
She is not the kind of person who forces things. If he doesn't want to, can she force him to compromise?
It's quite boring.
Letting go of the hand that was holding his sleeve, Xie Wan Ning stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
"...Wanwan," Pei Yuqing finally spoke, his voice hoarse.
Thinking that he had finally stopped holding it in a posture, Xie Wan Ning was delighted. She turned around and saw him handing over the medicine bottle. Her lips dropped instantly.
A raging rage came out of nowhere, rushing to the top of her head and burning her reason. She snatched the jade bottle and threw it directly into the lake.
"Who wants your pills! Pei Yuqing, don't you think your words and actions are inappropriate? On the one hand, you seem to be gentle, considerate and caring to me, but on the other hand, you never admit your feelings. Are you trying to keep me hanging by being close and distant, hot and cold?"
"No," Pei Yuqing clenched his empty hands tightly. His expression could not be seen in the dark night, but his tone was unusually flustered: "I never thought of keeping you hanging."
"Really?" Xie Wan Ning sneered: "If that's the case, then tell me, what is our relationship?"
Friends?
Even if the current society is more open-minded, I have never heard of friends of the opposite sex meeting in private and spending time together alone.
Lover?
His true feelings were clearly revealed, but he refused to admit it.
Brother and sister?
That's even more ridiculous. Not to mention that they are not related by blood, even her biological brother Xie Yanyu and his sister have never been alone like this at night since they were old enough to understand.
So, what is their relationship?
Pei Yuqing couldn't answer for a moment.
He finally came to his senses and realized that because he couldn't help himself, their relationship had indeed crossed the line.
This is really not what a gentleman does.
Obviously at the beginning, he just wanted to watch her from afar.
He remained silent for a long time, and Xie Wan Ning was completely disappointed. She even suspected that she was being too sentimental and had misunderstood his feelings.
Or did he really have no interest in her and only treated her as his best friend's sister, and that's why he showed concern for her several times?
……No!
She would never believe it!
It was hard to say whether she was angry or unwilling, Xie Wan Ning suddenly reached out and grasped his collar, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.
The sweet fragrance of the girl suddenly approached, and before Pei Yuqing could react, her cheek was lightly touched like a dragonfly touching the water, and she was stunned on the spot.
