Chapter 40 I Like You
The two of them were full and had drunk most of the red wine unconsciously. Seeing Xiao Peiyin's face slightly red, which was particularly charming, Gu Cunxi smiled gently.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Peiyin touched her forehead lovingly, her tone gentle.
"Hmm... Actually, I don't know why I'm laughing. I just want to laugh for no reason. Maybe it's because I'm so happy."
After saying that, Gu Cunxi stood up and walked towards the bedroom. He took out the guitar he played at the annual meeting that day and said, "Pei Yin, I want to give you another song!"
"OK!"
Xiao Peiyin looked at Gu Cunxi, holding her guitar, full of anticipation. She remembered her on the stage at the annual meeting that day, charming yet melancholic. Her voice was unique, perhaps due to smoking, but it had a hint of depth, and her singing always had a unique flavor. If a beautiful voice makes you want to linger on, then Gu Cunxi's voice is something that makes you want to commit a crime...
"Cunxi! What song do you want to give me?"
"I won't tell you, I want you to guess!"
She plucked the strings slowly, and the guitar sounded pleasant. The prelude was slow and lyrical. As the prelude ended, Gu Cunxi sang the lyrics to the guitar, and every word was filled with love.
Xiao Peiyin guessed it was Karen Mok's song "Slowly Falling in Love with You" in just a moment.
She looked at Gu Cunxi playing the guitar, her eyes blurred.
The warm yellow light in the living room shone on Gu Cunxi's body, and her cheeks were red because of the wine she had drunk.
Gu Cunxi is so charming!
[Slowly I want to cooperate with you]
[Slowly give me to you]
Xiao Peiyin blushed shyly after singing these two lines! All the little details of their past flashed through her mind: the throbbing of their first meeting, the panic of their heartbeat, their escape from each other but their helpless confession of love, their kisses and separations, until today... Xiao Peiyin still felt a sense of unreality, like a dream. Gu Cunxi sat in front of her, his eyes moving, and he played the guitar with an exceptionally gentle look.
When the song ended, she looked at Xiao Peiyin and smiled softly, her eyes filled with stars.
"Do you like it?" she asked
"I like it very much!" Xiao Peiyin nodded, her tone light and gentle.
"So... do you like me, or do you like the songs I sing?"
"I love it when you... sing for me!"
After that, Xiao Peiyin supported himself on the ground with both hands, slowly leaned over, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
“!!”
The soft touch fell from the forehead to the cheek, and finally to the lips, disturbing Gu Cunxi's heart.
"Pei Yin..."
"Um?"
“I hope we can be like the lyrics”
"I want to walk through life slowly with you, do many romantic things, and slowly sing all the love songs for you..."
Listening to Gu Cunxi's sweet words, Xiao Peiyin didn't respond. He just sat quietly beside her, smiling as he looked at her. Many happy images flashed through his mind, about the future...
She didn't know why, at such a happy moment, she felt extremely sad, her eyes were sore, and her heart seemed to be filled with weeds. The happiness in the future seemed as far away as the coastline to her.
"Pei Yin, do you want to take a shower?" Gu Cunxi's words brought her back to her senses.
Xiao Peiyin came back to her senses and looked at Gu Cunxi, who was pouting, with puffy cheeks, staring at her with clear and gentle eyes.
She is so cute like this! Xiao Peiyin's smile deepened, and she thought to herself
"Yeah! It's time to take a shower. You've been stinking in the hospital for a few days!"
"..." Gu Cunxi curled his lips, leaned closer, buried his face in her neck and sniffed: "It doesn't stink! It smells good!"
"It smells so good that I almost melt away..."
The warm breath and her magnetic voice came to his ears. In just a moment, Xiao Peiyin's cheeks became hot and his body felt itchy...
"Cunxi..." She stretched out her hand and pushed the person in front of her.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going to wash the dishes!" She reluctantly stepped away, turned and walked into the kitchen and said, "There's hot water in the bathroom, just wash it!"
She gathered the dishes on the table and put them into the kitchen. Just as she was about to start, Xiao Peiyin's voice rang out behind her.
"I'll wash the dishes! Your hands are still injured, don't touch the water!" She walked over quickly, snatched the dishes from Gu Cunxi's hands, stood by the sink, and didn't give her a chance to refuse.
“…”
Looking at Xiao Peiyin's thin figure with her back to her, she walked forward, put her arms around her waist, rested her chin on her shoulder and said, "Then I'll wait for you!"
“!”
Xiao Peiyin paused for a moment, tilted his head slightly and smiled.
The two of them squeezed into the small kitchen. She watched Xiao Peiyin busying herself, her hands unconsciously rubbing her lower abdomen...
My stomach is itchy! Xiao Peiyin paused in her washing motions, and a wave of heat rushed through her abdomen.
“…”
"Cunxi!" She turned her head and pursed her lips.
"Um?"
"You're like this! I... I can't wash the dishes!" She said blushing, her tone a little hurried.
Gu Cunxi smiled secretly in his heart and let go of his hand obediently: "Then... I'll wait for you to finish!"
“…”
"Actually, a small house is also very beneficial!" Xiao Peiyin put the bowl into the bowl rack and turned to look at her
"What's the benefit?" Gu Cunxi asked puzzledly.
"It's easy to clean, saves time and effort, and it takes very little time to tidy up everything."
Looking at the sink and the stovetop, which had been wiped clean by Xiao Peiyin, Gu Cunxi smiled and said, "But it's still a little small for two people to live in!"
"It's okay, I don't think it's small, it's very cozy"
"I like small houses like this. I used to dream of having a house of my own. It doesn't have to be too big, 30 square meters is enough. You know what, Cunxi! To me, it's not just a place to live, it's the freedom of space that truly belongs to me!"
“!”
Her words were filled with longing and helplessness. Gu Cunxi frowned and fell into deep thought, remaining silent.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
"Oh, okay..."
After a while, the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Gu Cunxi sat on the sofa in a daze. She remembered that she spent more than 300,000 yuan to buy a car. When she left Beicheng, she had more than 860,000 yuan in savings left. After deducting the money for buying the car, the remaining money was enough to buy a small house. With the housing prices in Jianghuai City, the best location was only 15,000 yuan. The money on hand was enough!
"Cunxi..."
Xiao Peiyin's voice came from the bathroom. Gu Cunxi quickly stood up and walked over to ask, "What's wrong? Peiyin!"
"Do you... have pajamas?"
"Oh! Yes, wait a moment, I'll find it for you!"
She walked into the bedroom and took out a set of her pajamas from the closet. Thinking of Xiao Peiyin wearing her clothes, she couldn't help but feel excited.
"Pei Yin, open the door..."
After a while, the bathroom door slowly opened, leaving a gap, and an arm covered with water beads stretched out from the bathroom, and the fragrance of shower gel hit my face.
“!”
Suddenly, the temperature all over her body became hot. Xiao Peiyin took the pajamas and closed the door again, leaving her standing outside the door. She was lost in thought for a long time. The surroundings were filled with the fragrance just now. She couldn't help but sniff hard.
“!”
When did I become like this? Did I look like a pervert just now?
Gu Cunxi laughed at herself, shook her head and walked into the bedroom. As soon as she thought about Pei Yin staying here at night, her heart began to beat wildly...
Coming out of the bathroom, she saw Gu Cunxi had changed into a brand new quilt. A small pillow stood in the middle of the bed, and a cute little rabbit lay on it. Seeing this, her heart softened.
"Is it cute? I know, you're a rabbit!"
"Does this little rabbit look like you?" Gu Cunxi reached out from behind and hugged her, gradually tightening his grip.
The atmosphere is becoming more ambiguous...
Xiao Peiyin swallowed unconsciously, her voice low and hoarse: "Very cute..."
"Cunxi! I'll just sleep on the sofa, you..." Before she could finish, Gu Cunxi interrupted her and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa. The bed is already made for you. Have a good rest tonight!" She let go of her hand, walked around to Xiao Peiyin, kissed her cheek and said, "You don't have to tell me, I understand!"
She knew what Pei Yin hadn't said, because she was burdened with too many worries and burdens. She couldn't rest easy until those complicated problems were solved. Although they had crossed the moral line and made mistakes, they couldn't make the same mistake again, and let her bear more burdens...
She also hopes that she can be with Pei Yin purely and cleanly, instead of bringing more taboos and compromises to this relationship.
"Cunxi..."
Before Xiao Peiyin could say anything, she brushed her index finger over her lips and said gently, "I'll wait for you!"
"Go to bed. I'm going to take a shower. I've put a glass of water next to the bed for you. Remember to drink it when you're thirsty!"
After saying that, she closed the door
The bathroom door was closed, and Gu Cunxi's figure disappeared at the door. Xiao Peiyin stood there in a daze. She was very glad that Gu Cunxi understood her so well, understood her concerns and burdens. Even if he didn't say anything, she could understand with just one look. She could always make her feel so at ease!
