Chapter 55
Cunxi brought Pei Yin to their new home. When they opened the door, they were greeted by the sunset sunlight pouring into the living room, which made the room warm, just like their hearts.
"Pei Pei, do you like it? The decoration is Japanese style. Although it is a little small, don't you think it is very warm?"
Pei Yin looked at everything in front of him, with a happy smile that could not be hidden on the corner of his mouth, and he felt very at ease. This simple decoration style looked clean and comfortable, and the overall style was soft with warm yellow.
"Cunxi...thank you"
Pei Yin turned around and looked at Cun Xi, who was smiling behind him, and said softly, with a trembling tone in her voice...
She walked over, stretched out her hand to pull the person in front of her and tightly hugged Cunxi's waist, with a sob that was not sure whether it was joy or sadness, and her eyes were red as her shoulders trembled.
"Do you like it?" Cunxi asked again
"I like it!" Pei Yin nodded and said softly
"As long as it's something you like, I'll do my best!"
Feeling the person in his arms trembling slightly, Cunxi slowly pushed Pei Yin away and hugged his body, looking at the person in front of him quietly, his eyes full of pity.
"Pei Pei, you're such a crybaby..." Cunxi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Pei Yin's cheeks and said lovingly.
"It's not okay to cry for joy..." Pei Yin lowered her head shyly and responded hoarsely
"Then... I hope that every time you shed tears in the future, it will be because of joy."
The two of them stared at each other for a long time in the middle of the living room, with gentle smiles hanging on the corners of each other's mouths that could not be hidden. The sun shone on their bodies, making them feel warm. Cunxi looked at Xiao Peiyin, who had tears on her face and smiled softly with her head down. His heart was throbbing, as if there was a beast in his heart and it was difficult to calm down. In an instant, he lowered his head and pressed it down, kissing the corner of Peiyin's lips. The strange feeling in his heart was relieved... With an aggressive and cautious tenderness, he penetrated into it and felt Cunxi's enthusiasm. Peiyin raised her head to respond, and was addicted... He could not help but hum softly.
Such a low moan was full of temptation to Gu Cunxi. The desire in his heart was about to burst out, somewhat uncontrollable. It left the corner of his lips and gradually moved down to his neck, collarbone, and finally to his heart... Cunxi's movements paused, and his rationality returned a little. Looking at Pei Yin, whose face was flushed and her body was trembling, Cunxi stood up and kissed her forehead, then slowly stepped away.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Today is a special day, let's celebrate it," Cunxi said with a smile
Pei Yin, who was immersed in it, felt the warmth in front of her gradually disappear. Cunxi stood in front of her, looking at her gently. A trace of loss flashed through her heart. She understood that Cunxi was forbearing and restraining herself.
Pei Yin thought that her marriage with Chen Feng was like the common hidden illness between her and Cunxi. Before those illnesses were cured, they could never be truly close to each other!
Pei Yin stood there, sighing softly and looking at Cunxi with gentle eyes. She never mentioned those heavy and unhappy things and responded softly:
"How about going to that Chuxin Japanese restaurant?"
Speaking of the original intention, Cunxi thought of the bowl of Jianchang juice he had ordered for Pei Yin, and was slightly dazed. At that time, the relationship between him and Pei Yin gradually fell to the freezing point.
She originally thought that Xiao Peiyin would be one of the regrets in her life, but now Peiyin is standing beside her, belonging to her! This transformation is like a roller coaster, the bitterness and joy in her heart are indescribable.
"Cunxi...what are you thinking about?" Pei Yin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked softly.
"Oh... nothing, I just remembered the bowl of Jianchang juice I ordered for you that day." Cunxi responded with a blush.
"Then let's go there!" Cunxi continued.
As they spoke, the two of them walked out briskly, their fingers tightly intertwined.
"By the way, Pei Pei, after the holiday ends tomorrow, I'll have a lot of things to do when I return to the company. I'll need you to take care of the house. Just buy it according to your preferences."
"Okay, I get it. Leave the housing matter to me. However, there will be a lot of things to do in the early stages of the marketing department. Will it be too hard for you?" Pei Yin asked softly, with a hint of pity in her tone.
"Silly boy, with you, I won't feel tired. The manager contacted me a few days ago and sent me a few resumes. Some of them are quite good. A few interviews will be arranged tomorrow, and I need to follow up then. After the marketing department is officially established, I need to run the market in City Z. Online and offline promotions will be carried out simultaneously. I will be busy then, so I may not be able to have dinner with you often. Waiting for you to get off work, Pei Pei..."
"But apart from work, I'll spend the rest of my time with you, okay?" Cunxi said with a hint of apology.
Pei Yin raised her hand and poked Cunxi's cheek with her fingertips. It was soft and her eyes were full of pampering. After looking at her for a while, she spoke
"From tomorrow on, we'll work together and be busy together. If we can't go home together, then I'll wait for you at home, no matter how late it is!"
Cunxi smiled and nodded vigorously, leaned over and kissed Pei Yin's cheek. Cunxi found that he liked the smell of Pei Yin more and more. It was so fresh. Being close to her was like being in the flowers and plants. It was fascinating.
When the two arrived at the Chuxin Japanese restaurant, it was almost dinner time. The restaurant was busy and almost full, but the store was very quiet without a trace of noise. The store was playing relaxing and soothing pure music, which made people feel soothed.
Cunxi found a corner by the window and ordered a bowl of Jianchang sauce for Pei Yin, just like last time. The other dishes were almost the same as before.
Cunxi looked around and took in everything around him. The memories of the past and the present seemed to overlap.
The same restaurant, the same dishes, but their moods were completely different from before. If last time, there was only indifference, forbearance, restraint, and alienation between them, then this moment was joy and happiness for Cunxi and Peiyin. Such a huge difference, happiness and misfortune will come to an end! As long as the ending is with each other, they don't care whether the process is painful or not. Gu Cunxi is like this, and Xiao Peiyin is like this!
"Pei Pei, do you remember that we sat over there last time?" Cunxi raised his hand and pointed forward.
"Remember! You and Cheng Sheng sat together, we were facing each other, but we didn't dare to look at each other more than once." Pei Yin turned his head and looked at Cun Xi again, and said softly
"How do you know I didn't secretly look at you again?" Cunxi said with a smile
"I know! You are secretly watching me. That bowl of Jianchang juice tells it all." Pei Yin's smile deepened, and his tone was a little proud, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
Pei Yin put down her chopsticks and let them clink against the plates, then she looked up at Cunxi with a gentle gaze. After a moment, she slowly spoke again.
"I really liked that bowl of Jianchang Juice. It was filled with your tenderness and delicacy. It felt like a firewood in winter. You have been in my heart for a long time. You understand everything about me, and you are sensitive and attentive, silently giving me what I need most! But Cunxi... that day, I tasted bitterness from it."
"I'm so glad that you're still sitting in front of me today, giving me the opportunity to taste it again!"
Pei Yin's eyes were gentle and deep, with an inextricable melancholy and relief in them.
I don't know why Xiao Peiyin like this made Cunxi feel sad. It was as if something was blocking her heart. She felt depressed. Perhaps it was because this place carried the estrangement of their past. When she revisited the old place, she felt sad when she thought of those things. Cunxi was silent for a long time and slowly said
"Fool, since that bowl of Kencho juice tasted bitter to you that day... then this bowl today must be different and has nothing to do with bitterness!"
Pei Yin smiled and nodded. At this time, the song "Snow Flower" by Mika Nakashima was playing in the restaurant.
Cunxi was somewhat intoxicated by the familiar melody, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he put down the cup in his hand, and sat quietly aside. Such a moment was extremely comfortable.
"Cunxi..." Pei Yin called her softly
"Um?"
"Do you like this song?"
“Yeah, I like it very much.”
"The melody sounds familiar, but I can't remember the name," Pei Yin said.
"Snow Flower" is a song by Mika Nakashima. My favorite line in the song is, 'Being coquettish doesn't mean being weak. I just love you from the bottom of my heart.' Cunxi looked at Pei Yin with a very gentle tone.
Pei Yin inexplicably recalled the way Cunxi acted coquettishly towards her, and her face turned red. She lowered her head slightly with a smile and drank the Jianchang juice in front of her. The taste was fresh and fragrant, without a trace of bitterness.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Cunxi turned around and saw the caller on the screen. Cunxi hesitated for a while before answering the call. At the same time, Pei Yin also saw the name displayed on the screen and his face darkened.
"Cunxi, how is your injury? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Chen Jiamao's voice came from the other side, like an old friend, with a light tone and a hint of concern.
"It's nothing anymore," Cunxi replied calmly.
"I'm going back to City B tomorrow. Can I see you in the evening? I have something I want to talk to you about. Just the two of us."
Cunxi was puzzled and frowned slightly, wondering what Chen Jiamao wanted to talk to him about.
Chen Jiamao listened to Cunxi's silence on the other side for a long time, and waited patiently for her to respond.
"What to talk about?" Cunxi asked
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with us."
There was another long silence, no one spoke, Cunxi didn't know whether he should agree or not
"Cunxi...you don't need to worry so much. I didn't mean anything else. I said I respect your choice. What I want to talk to you about is the future, and what Mr. Xu asked me to do."
"Then let's meet in an hour at the cafe downstairs from your hotel."
After saying that, Cunxi hung up the phone and found Pei Yin looking at him quietly. After a moment, he lowered his head and ate the food on the plate silently.
"Pei Pei, this is Chen Jiamao. He just said on the phone that he wanted to talk to me about something. It's about..."
"Go... I'll wait for you at home." Before Cunxi finished speaking, Pei Yin nodded and spoke.
"It's about what Mr. Xu asked him to do. He wants to talk to me, but he didn't tell me what to talk about." Cunxi still explained to Pei Yin what she hadn't said. She didn't want Pei Yin to be unhappy about it, and she didn't want Pei Yin to misunderstand her.
"Pei Pei, why don't you come with me? We'll finish our talk quickly and then go home, okay?"
Pei Yin looked at Cunxi and smiled slightly, then shook his head.
"It's really okay, silly. Chen Jiamao might have something important to discuss with you. Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you at home."
Cunxi repeatedly looked at Pei Yin's expression and tone, and confirmed that she was not unhappy about it, so he felt relieved and took Pei Yin's hand and walked out.
As the two walked out of the restaurant, it was getting dark outside. Cunxi drove very fast all the way. After sending Pei Yin back, he hurried to the hotel where Chen Jiamao was staying...
