Chapter 104
After Shen Yizhi returned to Mingjing Bay, she originally planned to go back home to take a shower before looking for Pei Yanhe.
But my left eyelid kept twitching.
She had a bad feeling.
So after getting off the car, she went straight to Pei Yanhe's house.
As soon as he opened the door of the villa, Shen Yizhi stood at the entrance and looked up to meet the man's dark gaze.
Pei Yanhe sat on the sofa in the living room, his body slightly hunched, his elbows resting on his knees, his distinct outline hidden in the semi-darkness.
His hair hung down in front of his forehead, and his deep eyes were fixed on her.
This posture and this expression made it seem as if he had been sitting there waiting for her for a long time.
His eyelids, which had been throbbing wildly, suddenly stopped. Shen Yizhi stood beside him and asked tentatively, "Do you know everything?"
Pei Yanhe raised his eyelids and looked up at her.
The color of his eyes was like the foreshadowing of a coming storm, surprisingly calm, without a trace of ripples.
Although he was standing and in a high position, Shen Yizhi felt inexplicably lacking in confidence.
Seeing that he didn't even frown, his thin lips were stretched into a straight line, without any unnecessary emotion.
"Do you want me to know?"
He didn't answer, but instead asked her a question in a very calm manner.
Shen Yizhi opened his mouth.
She had kept it a secret for so long, from initially refusing to admit defeat to later not wanting him to worry, even she herself couldn't tell whether she wanted him to or not.
Both sides fell into silence for a long time.
Deathly silence spread between the two of them.
"Shen Yizhi."
Pei Yanhe's eyes gradually became dark, as if they were mixed with a ball of ink that could not be kneaded, and were bottomless.
He glanced at her wrist, which was so thin that the wrist bones were protruding after the gauze was removed. There was a long and deep scabbed scar near the artery. Her originally fair skin now looked almost sickly.
Because the gauze had just been removed, the two wrists formed a sharp contrast.
The right hand seemed to have shriveled, which made people frown.
He exhaled deeply, "Answer me."
Shen Yizhi's heart skipped a beat. "I wanted to tell you in person, but I just haven't found the right time."
“When is the right time?”
Pei Yanhe's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He shouldn't have quarreled with her now, but the extreme jealousy in his heart overwhelmed him.
His voice was bitter: "Jiang Chi Nan knew, but I didn't?"
"Or are we joining forces with him to hide this from me?"
Shen Yizhi raised his eyes and glanced at him.
It seems... really angry.
She had never seen Pei Yanhe truly angry with her before, and the little quarrels they had always had seemed so insignificant at this moment.
She had never coaxed anyone before, and she didn't know how to really coax someone.
Usually, she is the only one who coaxes her.
She took small steps to sit next to him and awkwardly kissed the corner of his mouth, "Don't be angry, Pei Shanshan."
Seeing that he still had an expressionless face, one could even call him indifferent.
Could it be that one moment is not enough?
Shen Yizhi was about to move forward and kiss him again.
Pei Yanhe raised his head and hid back for a moment, then covered her lips with his palm, and his broad palm covered half of her face.
The hot breath sprayed on her eyelashes.
"You haven't answered me yet."
He said stubbornly, "Do you want me to know?"
Shen Yizhi blinked and tried to speak, but his mouth was covered tightly by him, making it difficult for him to speak.
She could only nod dully.
The space in front of her was completely occupied by him. She was like a small animal with no way to escape, trying to survive for the last time at the critical moment of life and death.
Pei Yanhe stared at her for two seconds and asked, "Was it Ai Li who hired someone to hit you?"
Shen Yizhi had no evidence and only guessed that it was her, but she nodded anyway.
Pei Yanhe asked again: "Does Jiang Chinan know about this incident?"
Know what?
Did you know that she and Rewi Alley had a public fight on the internet?
What does this have to do with Jiang Chi Nan?
Shen Yizhi's clear eyes revealed a hint of doubt, and then he shook his head like a rattle.
She didn't quite understand.
She could obviously open her mouth to speak, but Pei Yanhe insisted on covering her mouth. It was like guessing a riddle, and she could only shake her head and nod.
She put her hands on his strong chest, resisted and pushed him away, but it was all in vain.
Besides, she was the one at fault, so she could only let him do what he wanted.
Pei Yanhe saw all her little movements.
Still no sign of restraint.
Then he asked, "When I went to London to look for you that year, was it because of this injury that you refused to meet me?"
Shen Yizhi recalled it and nodded as if something was going on.
Pei Yanhe asked: "Don't you want me to know?"
Shen Yizhi nodded again.
Pei Yanhe asked again: "Because you don't want to admit defeat to me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yizhi nodded.
There was silence for a while, just when Shen Yizhi thought the torture was about to end.
She heard him say again.
"Chen Yizhi, can I admit defeat?"
His voice was dry and hoarse, as if he was trying to breathe out from a narrow gap with great difficulty. "Don't hide it from me anymore."
Shen Yizhi's heartbeat seemed to freeze for a moment.
I felt almost numb from head to toe, and every nerve in my body was out of control and out of control.
We have been fighting with each other since we were young. We fought over his red flower in kindergarten and competed with each other for the first place in the grade in high school. We competed openly and secretly, and no one had ever given in.
Hearing these words, Shen Yizhi no longer felt the joy of victory, but instead felt palpitations and a sourness running through his entire chest.
She never thought that this matter would be so important to Pei Yanhe.
When she was 22 years old, she finally figured out one thing:
Her health, her life, everything about her, was more important than anything else to Pei Yanhe.
Shen Yizhi nodded, nodding his head heavily.
There was space on my face and fresh air poured in.
Pei Yanhe withdrew his hand, his eyes still fixed on her, "I want to hear your promise in person."
His tone became paranoid and he even started to act unreasonable.
But Shen Yizhi didn't care about these.
She was willing to tolerate all his little tempers, no matter who he was.
She raised her lips, and her beautiful eyebrows curved, "Pei Shanshan, I love you."
The kind that I love very much.
She is better at confessing than making promises.
As for Pei Yanhe, he was born to be good at waiting.
Because time is the most lasting confession he has ever given her.
-
It's getting late.
Shen Yizhi planned to go back and take a bath before coming back to sleep with him.
The same process was followed every day before.
After washing up at home, I sneaked over to his house to sleep for the night and went back in the morning.
Pei Yanhe's house was like a hotel opened specifically for her.
Shen Yizhi stood up from the sofa and touched his head, "I'll go back and take a bath first, and come back to accompany you later."
Pei Yanhe stretched out his long legs to stop her from leaving the house, raised his eyelids, and looked at her directly.
"Wash here with me?"
