Chapter 39 You Are the Ideal
The two of them walked into the house carrying large and small bags. Gu Cunxi changed his clothes and hurried into the kitchen. He had to show off his skills today and not let down Pei Yin... Gu Cunxi thought to himself, his hands moving non-stop.
Xiao Peiyin looked around the room. Everything was neat and tidy. The books on the bookshelf were arranged according to height. It was obvious that Gu Cunxi not only had mysophobia, but also had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. Xiao Peiyin shook her head and chuckled. Looking at the people busy in the kitchen, her heart softened. She walked over, stood behind Gu Cunxi, put her arms around her waist, and whispered, "Let me help you!"
The warmth on her back and the strong hands on her waist made Gu Cunxi startle slightly. Her heart was beating like a deer. She said, "Okay, then you can help me pick the shrimp thread!"
After that, Gu Cunxi handed over the cleaned prawns, looked at Xiao Peiyin tenderly, turned his head and kissed her gently on the cheek.
The two of them were busy, and the small kitchen was filled with the smell of happiness and sweetness. Xiao Peiyin had never felt such a comfortable life before. The person she loved was beside her, talking and laughing with her, preparing dinner together. The originally cold room gradually became filled with the smell of fireworks. This was the simple life she had dreamed of. Gu Cunxi fulfilled her. Thinking of this, Xiao Peiyin's smile became more and more intense. Gu Cunxi watched from the side, and his heart was as gorgeous as a sea of flowers.
"Pei Yin, everything is ready. I'm about to start. Go out and wait for me. The kitchen is very fumy. I'll be done in no time!"
As she spoke, she wiped her hands and pushed the person next to her out of the kitchen. Little Pei Yin turned around and walked forward, wanting to stay in the kitchen to watch Gu Cunxi busying herself for a while, but she felt a soft and moist touch on her lips. In just a moment, she regained her composure, and before she could react, it was as if nothing had happened. Seeing Gu Cunxi looking at her with a smile in his eyes, he said smugly, "I can't feel at ease if you're in the kitchen. Wait for me outside!"
After that, Gu Cunxi closed the kitchen door. The glass reflected her slender figure. Xiao Peiyin looked at her and smiled softly. She reached out and touched her lips. Thinking of Gu Cunxi's sudden kiss just now, her face turned red.
She looked at the figure inside the glass door, the sound of ingredients being put into the pot, the fragrance of the food, every bit of it fell into Xiao Peiyin's heart, making her feel the warmth of home. Gu Cunxi broke into her life like light, and the ray of light that shone through the darkness always corroded her reason, making her unable to stop! In terms of morality and responsibility, she should never sink into such a state, but in the long life, being able to meet, know, and love such a person is a blessing. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, she is willing to give up everything, to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, as long as she can stay by Gu Cunxi's side, everything is worth it!
After being busy for more than an hour, Gu Cunxi looked at the prepared meal with satisfaction. Thinking that Xiao Peiyin would eat the food she made, she felt an indissoluble sweetness in her heart. She found beautiful bowls and plates from the cupboard, carefully put the food on the plates, raised her hand to look at the watch, and thought of Xiao Peiyin who had been waiting for her outside for so long with an empty stomach, she hurriedly picked up the food and went out.
Hearing the noise in the living room, Xiao Peiyin walked out of the bedroom and saw Gu Cunxi standing quietly by the dining table with a smile on his face.
"Are you hungry?! I've been doing this for too long..." Gu Cunxi hooked his finger and pulled out a chair for Xiao Peiyin to sit down.
"It's worth waiting any longer to eat the food you made yourself!" Xiao Peiyin walked over and kissed Gu Cunxi on the cheek. Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, she was very hungry.
"Try it and see how it tastes!" Gu Cunxi took out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen and sat next to Xiao Peiyin, looking at the person in front of him expectantly, wondering what she would say!
Xiao Peiyin picked up her chopsticks and couldn't wait to taste it. The fresh aroma of the prawns immediately stimulated her taste buds. Seeing Gu Cunxi staring at her intently with a nervous look in her eyes, Xiao Peiyin decided to tease her. She deliberately frowned and said, "Hmm... It seems to taste different from the braised shrimp I've had before!"
"!" Gu Cunxi was stunned for a moment, and the action of opening the red wine paused for a moment. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Peiyin blankly, and asked: "Does it taste bad? What's different?"
Seeing Gu Cunxi's nervous expression, Xiao Peiyin chuckled softly, her eyes curved into crescents as she said tenderly, "This has a different flavor than the braised shrimp I had before. That flavor seemed a bit too strong!"
“???”
Gu Cunxi hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and tasted it
It's obviously delicious! Pei Yin said there's an extra flavor? What exactly is that flavor... Gu Cunxi thought about it and couldn't figure it out, and couldn't taste it, so she asked if there was anything wrong. She looked at Xiao Peiyin and couldn't help asking, "It tastes okay, what's the extra flavor? Why can't I taste it?"
Xiao Peiyin smiled secretly, leaned over and whispered softly in Gu Cunxi's ear: "It's the taste of love! From mouth to heart, it's so strong that it can't be dissolved!"
“!”
Gu Cunxi's cheeks flushed instantly because of Xiao Peiyin's words. Her alluring voice made her feel itchy inside...
"You scared me on purpose! I thought the taste was not to your liking, I was so nervous!" Gu Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief and pouted.
“It tastes great! Very good, the best braised shrimp I’ve ever had!”
"That's good! Would you like some red wine?" Gu Cunxi placed two high-heeled glasses in front of Xiao Peiyin, his eyes burning.
The temperature in the room grew sweltering under Gu Cunxi's gaze. The air around them seemed to be filled with lust, making people blush and their hearts beat fast. Xiao Peiyin glanced at the red wine in her hand, unsure whether she should accept Gu Cunxi's proposal...
She knew that if she drank, she might not be able to control herself rationally...
"Pei Yin, are you afraid that I will lose control after drinking, or... are you afraid that you will lose control of yourself?" There was a hint of teasing in Gu Cunxi's words, with a smile in his eyes, and he laughed out loud.
Seeing through... Xiao Peiyin immediately adjusted her hair uncomfortably and said, "I... I'm not afraid. Let's drink a little!"
After that, she took the red wine and poured it into the glass. She raised the glass and looked at the person in front of her, and said seriously: "Gu Cunxi, thank you for appearing by my side and for this table of food!"
Gu Cunxi looked at her and suddenly felt a little tearful. She raised her hand and raised her glass, saying, "This glass...is a toast to fate! Thank it for arranging for me to meet you!"
In the quiet room, the wine glasses collided with each other, making a crisp sound, which was pleasant to the ears. In the room with warm yellow light, the two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes burning.
"Cunxi! I have something to ask you!" Xiao Peiyin took a sip of red wine, licked his lips and said
"I'm all ears!"
"Since when did you start to do this to me..."
Gu Cunxi was slightly startled and didn't answer immediately. She hadn't expected Pei Yin to ask this. Her thoughts were instantly pulled back to the day she first met her. She stood in the crowd and smiled at her. Now thinking back, it was probably at that moment that she began to have a special feeling for her. With a little panic and a longing for her, she wanted to get to know her better. It was love at first sight! Uncontrollable heartbeat...
"Cunxi?"
"Um?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Peiyin's words brought Gu Cunxi back to her senses. She paused for a moment and said, "I'm thinking...when did I fall in love with you?"
Xiao Peiyin didn't respond, her eyes filled with anticipation. Gu Cunxi paused, then continued, "It was from the first time you smiled at me! I saw you in the crowd at a glance. We both wore the same black sweater that day, and the way you smiled made me unable to look away. I stood on the stage, lost in thought, watching you. From that moment on, you were different in my heart, and I had the urge to explore and understand you. I didn't know it at the time, but that was the beginning of my heartbeat..."
"Later... I learned from Cheng Sheng that you were married and had children, so I wanted to keep my distance from you. I always restrained myself, but gradually I found that the more I restrained myself, the harder it was to control myself. I have to admit that when facing you, I lost control like never before. So I began to approach you intentionally or unintentionally. Pei Yin, do you blame me for approaching you with a purpose and seducing you?"
Listening to Gu Cunxi's words, Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a long time, the red wine glass in her hand swaying slightly. It turned out that Cunxi had fallen in love with her the day they met... As she thought to herself, the memories in her mind surged, and every little detail related to Gu Cunxi flashed through her mind like a movie.
Seeing the person in front of him frowning slightly, with some worry in his eyes, Xiao Peiyin shook his head and chuckled: "Silly boy, what can I blame you for? Do you blame you for loving me, or for approaching me because you love me? I won't blame you, because I love you too!"
"Then... do you want to know when I fell in love with you?" Xiao Peiyin asked back
Gu Cunxi smiled faintly, his eyes filled with unwavering tenderness. He looked at Xiao Peiyin passionately and whispered, "Was it... when I kissed you in the conference room? Because you responded to me then, but then refused to admit that you liked me!"
"It was even earlier than that... The moment you pulled me into your arms on the bus, my heart was moved... Your beautiful eyebrows and eyes, your beautiful lip line, fell into my heart, and the faint smell of mint and tobacco on your body made me feel unusually safe and secure. But I never thought I would like women. The heartbeat on the bus was fleeting, and I soon returned to calm. After that, my eyes always followed you unconsciously at work. Seeing your closeness with Cheng Sheng, I began to feel jealous... Later, you gave me milk tea and helped me out in the meeting. You were injured in the quarrel with Xin Hai and had a high fever and was unconscious. I was distressed and anxious. At that moment, I can't escape, I really fell in love with you, the moment you kissed me in the conference room I lost control, at that moment I wanted to give up everything to have you, but when I thought of Chen Feng, thought of An An, I became cowardly again... I think I am not qualified to love you, nor can I give you love, so I began to distance myself from you, the pain in my heart is the punishment for my cowardice. I once wanted to hide my love in my heart and watch you silently, until I saw the harm Chen Feng did to you at the hotel door, saw you lying there fragile and embarrassed, my reason fell apart, Cunxi, will you blame me, blame me for being cowardly, blame me for being cruel, blame me for loving you and hurting you?
Xiao Peiyin's eyes were slightly red, with tears in them. Gu Cunxi looked at her, his heart suddenly ached and softened. This woman always made him feel helpless. He felt sad when he saw her crying and happy when he saw her laughing. She affected all his thoughts, and every trace of her was on him. He shook his head and chuckled helplessly. Gu Cunxi put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, walked to Xiao Peiyin's side, took her into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, and the fragrance of shampoo made him addicted.
"Pei Yin, there are very few souls in this world who truly love and are compatible with each other. We have found each other. Those misunderstandings, conflicts, quarrels, and alienations are no longer important. You have shouldered so much, how can I bear to blame you? I should thank you. Thank you for your courage to love me!"
Xiao Peiyin looked up at her. Because of the red wine she drank, her face was slightly flushed and she looked particularly charming. She had a nice jawline and two buttons on her collar were loose, revealing her slender neck. She couldn't take her eyes off her. Gu Cunxi felt Pei Xiaoyin's gaze. She lowered her head, raised the corners of her mouth with a smile, raised her hand to hold Pei Yin's cheek, leaned over and kissed her. There was a sour and sweet taste of red wine in her mouth. She pried open her lips and teeth and gently probed in. This kiss was a little drunken. Xiao Peiyin stretched out her hands and hugged Gu Cunxi's waist, responding warmly. There was the fragrance of food on the side, and the warm yellow light in the living room was ambiguous.
After a long while, Gu Cunxi reluctantly stepped away, kissed Xiao Peiyin's forehead and said, "Xiao Peiyin! You are my ideal in the world!"
