kiss
When you open your eyes again, the first thing you see is a white ceiling. You don't know where you are. You feel dizzy and your eyes are sore. You can only lie there with your eyes closed and wait for the dizziness to pass.
"Where am I?" You blinked, adjusting to the light, and looked around. Everything around you was white. If it weren't for a sign on the wall not far away that read "XX Hospital," you would have thought you had arrived in the legendary paradise.
Oh, it's a hospital. You lay back down on the pillow. It felt like you had a long dream, a beautiful one. You even smiled when you woke up, but now you've forgotten what you dreamed about. You only remember that you were smiling and happy in the dream. You even suspected that you were drooling. You tried to raise your hand to wipe it, but found that you couldn't move it. It felt like you were being forced to hold something soft and warm. You turned your head and saw a black whorl of hair facing you. You looked at him in confusion. Who is this?
Your mind went blank, and it took you a while to recall what had happened. You suddenly fainted for some reason, and now it seems that Chen Peiyuan called and took you to the hospital.
Then, you look down at the motionless black hair lying beside your arm. You look closely and see that a breeze has blown the few strands of hair standing up on his head, making them flutter in the air, just like your own fluttering mood. You even have the thought that it would be so nice if things could stay like this forever.
You sighed inwardly, "It's tough."
Suddenly, her arm twitched, her black hair stood on end, revealing half of Chen Peiyuan's face. "Hmm..." He sat up, looking at your slightly widened eyes with a surprised expression, unsure how to react.
You were caught off guard and met his gaze. Before you could look away, you saw a blank expression on his face. Suddenly, you remembered something someone had said. That person had enthusiastically pulled you along, glancing around warily, seemingly wary of certain people. You raised an eyebrow, amused by her actions. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to say something confidential, not just gossip. She approached you mysteriously, her voice barely audible. To hear her, you had to move closer. She said, "You know Chen Xiyuan, right? I recently heard something about him. Apparently, he never lets anyone know what he looks like when he sleeps, or even see him sleeping. Whenever he's traveling for work and has to stay overnight, even if there are no hotel rooms and he has to share a room, he'll go home immediately. Apparently, it's because he's easily ambushed after waking up." You frowned. What did she mean by easily ambushed? Before you could even ask, the person pulled you down even further, forcing you to bend over and turn sideways to listen to her. After she finished speaking, you looked at her in surprise, and she nodded vigorously, confirming it.
Why don't we try it now? You blinked, suddenly becoming interested and wanting to verify if what she said was true.
You quietly licked your chapped lips, but unintentionally attracted his attention.
"Chen Peiyuan?"
When you call his name, he turns his head and stares blankly at your lips, his eyes lifeless. A red mark is still imprinted on half of his face; it's a thick red mark left after he woke up with his head on your arm.
"Who am I?" you ask again.
"Chen Yulan," came the answer, delivered in a measured and formal manner.
His face was expressionless as he stared blankly into a certain spot, his gaze unfocused, as if no one knew where his eyes were resting.
You're secretly pleased, silently encouraging yourself to strike while the iron is hot.
Who was your first love?
"No."
"lover."
"No."
How many houses are there?
Five places.
Where is it?
Suddenly, you stopped asking questions, and he saw no need to continue answering. He hunched over and sat there, staring blankly at the ground. Seeing that he answered every question, you nodded to yourself, noting that it was pretty much the same as the information you had found before.
It seems that what that person said was true. For the first few minutes after waking up, Chen Peiyuan was completely unconscious and obedient to the questions and actions of others. Simply put, his body was awake, but his consciousness was still asleep. So after discovering this serious problem that seemed like a bug, Chen Peiyuan never slept in crowded or public places again.
However, this state is also time-limited, meaning you have to ask for the answer you want within a limited time. Time is running out, so you bite your lip and stare intently at him.
"Who among the people around me was placed here by you?"
When the man heard the question, he didn't answer. Instead, he raised his face and looked towards the source of the sound. His lifeless eyes moved slowly, finally settling on your face. He was speechless for a moment.
In those few silent seconds, time felt like a hammer, striking your heart again and again with a resounding thud. Your heart pounded rapidly from the impact, and you swallowed hard, anxiously awaiting his answer.
"Speak up!" You slowly gripped the corner of the blanket, silently screaming in your heart.
"Lanlan, it's me." The man tilted his head, blinked his beautiful eyes at you, and covered his mouth to secretly laugh when he saw your surprised expression. Obviously, he knew all the questions you had asked before, and had just been playing along with your act.
"You tricked me!" Oh no! Your eyes widened slightly, and your hand loosened its grip on the blanket in fright. One corner of the blanket was already crumpled beyond recognition. You never expected to be tricked. That despicable man.
Chen Peiyuan burst out laughing, turning halfway around and glancing sideways with a mocking smile. "Oh? It seems Lanlan has heard the rumors about me too. This isn't me trying to trick you; you're the one testing me." He shook his head and continued laughing, looking quite smug.
Seeing his smug look, I couldn't help but clench my fist. Sure enough, no one can get along with Chen Peiyuan, and you, as his mortal enemy, are even less likely to. I really wanted to punch his hateful smiling face hard.
Three minutes later.
"Enough! Stop laughing!" You yelled at Chen Peiyuan, who was laughing so hard he was lying on the ground clutching his stomach. Your body was trembling with anger. Being mocked by your nemesis, especially by Chen Peiyuan, your nemesis, was just another stain on your life.
What do you mean by "again"? The thought flashed through your mind briefly, but you didn't have time to react. Right now, all you wanted was for Chen Peiyuan to stop. This kind of behavior was even more painful for you than the company going bankrupt.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay."
Chen Peiyuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, slowly got up from the ground, stood still, put his hands on his hips, and said, "Lanlan, although it's unfortunate, I still have to tell you the truth: that rumor is false."
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh again, as if he was recalling their previous conversation.
You angrily stood up from the bed and lunged at him. He laughed and dodged your attack. He tried to dodge but the bed blocked his way. Because he had been laughing for too long, he became weak and fell onto the bed, unable to get up for a moment.
A perfect opportunity! Seeing this, you shout and pounce on him, straddling him in one motion. You brace yourself against his chest with one hand for support, and cover his mouth with the other, determined to shut him up. He instinctively pulls your hands off him, but he never expected that you would lose your footing because of his movement.
Suddenly, you fell down due to inertia. You closed your eyes tightly in fright and quickly prepared yourself mentally for the impending pain.
However, the sensation that follows is soft, like the texture of jelly, with the aroma of oolong tea that assaults your sense of smell. You bump into something soft, and when you open your eyes, you see eyes, a nose, and corresponding lips.
You kissed Chen Peiyuan! When you realized this, your face instantly turned red, and you practically sprang up from him, your movements as smooth as seaweed. Wait, why did you think of seaweed at this moment, and why did you use seaweed as a metaphor?
Chen Peiyuan also slightly opened his eyes, as if he had no reaction to what had just happened. He let the person in front of him jump three steps away from him, slowly raised his hand and touched his lips. It seemed that the touch was still there, like a surprise he had received by chance, which shocked him so much that he didn't have time to react.
"I don't think I felt anything. Let's do it again," he murmured, his eyes glazed over.
When you heard what he said, your face turned from pink to red, and you covered your burning face like a boiled shrimp. You couldn't believe what you had just heard. What did he mean by "one more time"? This was your first kiss!
"I don't want to, you damn bastard!"
Seeing that you were really about to faint from anger, Chen Peiyuan quickly called for a stop.
In the end, the two reached a brief period of peaceful coexistence.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts on that matter?"
You sit back on the hospital bed, trying to ignore the little incident from before and steer the conversation back on track. After more than ten hours of sleep, you feel full of energy and are ready to expose that damn scumbag at any moment.
However, seeing Chen Peiyuan's eyes darting away from the corner of your mouth, you feel that the more important thing now is to beat Chen Peiyuan up.
You curl the corners of your mouth into a charming smile, and point at him, flashing your clenched fist, as if you'd smash his head in if he kept staring like that.
"Ah, ah, I wanted to say that I didn't mention it before. I'd like to ask Lanlan to cooperate with me in a performance." Seeing you raising your fist with a threatening look, he immediately looked away innocently and coughed twice in response.
He crept closer, glancing around furtively, his secretive manner making you regret listening to him.
"Hey, hey, Lanlan, this is a secret of heaven, it cannot be easily revealed!"
"Listen to me, it's like this and that," he whispered in your ear.
Gradually, your expression changed from impatience to seriousness, and finally you looked ahead thoughtfully.
After Chen Peiyuan finished speaking, he straightened up, grinned, revealing eight teeth, and said smugly, "How about it? My idea is pretty good, isn't it?"
After saying that, he winked at you and said, "President Lan, how about we collaborate?"
You nodded, agreeing to the collaboration. After all, his method sounded worth a try, and you unconsciously moistened your lips.
Chen Peiyuan's eyes unconsciously stared at you again, his gaze so intense that you noticed immediately. You closed your eyes, your heart burning with desire, and your hands, hidden under the covers, clenched again.
That bastard really deserves a beating!
