Chapter 14
Pei Yanhe stood beside her with one hand in his pocket, not even glancing at the man opposite, but staring straight at Shen Yizhi.
The man with glasses was confused by his attitude, "Excuse me, are you hers?"
Pei Yanhe glanced at him sharply, with an oppressive look that could not be ignored, "Do I have an obligation to tell you?"
Because of the stern aura he exuded, the man with glasses gave up on chatting her up and walked away in embarrassment, looking dusty and embarrassed.
Shen Yizhi glanced at him sideways, "Why are you here?"
"Why are you angry, Chen Yizhi?" Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes and looked down at her. Seeing a hint of anger on her bright and delicate face, he suddenly laughed angrily.
"Do you like that person just now?"
Shen Yizhi frowned slightly, and for a moment she couldn't follow his train of thought.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Pei Yanhe said in a low voice: "Do you really like it?"
"Can't you have better eyesight?"
"Aren't you afraid of dirtying your eyes after what you did just now?"
Three sentences came out of nowhere, full of sarcasm and innuendo.
"Who likes him?" Shen Yizhi saw that he was talking too much and couldn't stand it any longer. "Just saying a few words means you like him?"
Pei Yanhe's expression relaxed slightly, his dark eyes fixed on her, "Why are you angry if I don't like you?"
Shen Yizhi turned her head away from him, her hands folded in front of her chest, her long black curly hair falling behind her waist, her shoulders thin and her back straight, her tone displeased.
"I get angry when I see you."
After a moment of silence, Pei Yanhe raised his eyes, adjusted his sleeves with one hand, and said slowly: "Because I didn't show you the circle of friends?"
If he didn't mention it, Shen Yizhi would have almost forgotten about it. She walked down the stairs and said, "That's right."
Unable to do anything with her, Pei Yanhe loosened a cufflink, the watch on his wrist gleaming with precious light, and handed the phone into the air.
Shen Yizhi took it naturally, "What's the password?"
Pei Yanhe said simply, "Birthday."
Without thinking too much, Shen Yizhi tapped the screen with his slender fingertips and entered Pei Yanhe's birthday.
The next second, it prompts that the password is wrong.
"Wrong." Shen Yizhi frowned and looked up at him.
Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes, "It's your birthday."
Shen Yizhi was startled and almost thought she had misheard. Unfortunately, her hearing was surprisingly good, and she could hear it clearly even in the huge and silent exhibition hall.
"Using my birthday as a password, you want to pick this day to murder me?"
“…”
Pei Yanhe was speechless for a moment, then uttered something nonsense, "I entered it wrong, I'm too lazy to change it."
Shen Yizhi believed this reason quite a bit.
Because her birthday is December 3rd, and Bae Yeon Hyuk's is March 12th.
Sometimes even she herself would make mistakes when she was confused.
It's just that it's rare that Pei Yanhe, who has always been very keen on numbers, would make a mistake.
Shen Yizhi had no suspicion and no interest in prying into his privacy, so he opened his circle of friends without looking away.
It was so different from her that she couldn't count it all.
There was only one post, and it was a photo, without even any caption.
When I clicked on the photo, I saw a shadow image of two people walking side by side. The light was dim and the figures were blurry and unclear. I could only make out the outlines of a man and a woman. They were neither too close nor too far away, and their arms were almost touching.
After looking at it for only five seconds, Shen Yizhi handed the phone back to him without saying a single extra word, but his eyes suddenly became unusual.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Pei Yanhe took the phone, frowned, and after a moment, he suddenly asked, "Did you come alone?"
Shen Yizhi nodded, expressionless, "A ghost came."
Pei Yanhe chuckled slightly, "It just so happens that I haven't accompanied Gui to the exhibition yet."
He can accept any words without any shame.
Shen Yizhi was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, for fear of irritating him again and scolding him for his pleasure.
Pei Yanhe seemed to really intend to accompany her to the exhibition. He glanced at the hydrangeas in the painting, his gaze paused for a moment, and then returned to her.
She looked at the painting and he looked at her.
"Mr. Pei," someone suddenly called from behind, untimely breaking the silence, "Do you want to continue exploring the exhibition?"
Pei Yanhe said in a cold tone: "No need, that's all for today."
Cheng Zhuhan was stunned, but she hadn't even finished half of the exhibition.
Is it because of Shen Yiji?
Facing Pei Yanhe's cold and distant attitude, Cheng Zhuhan lowered her eyes, not daring to say much, and quietly retreated to the side of the staff in the distance.
After no one disturbed him, Shen Yizhi focused all his attention on the art exhibition.
Pei Yanhe stood beside her with his hands in his pockets, never leaving her side. He rarely said a word, just quietly watching the exhibition with her.
This scene reminded Shen Yizhi of her high school days when she wanted to see a solo exhibition of her favorite painter, but it happened to be a Monday and her homeroom teacher refused to approve her request for leave.
Shen Yizhi almost gave up the idea of going to see the exhibition, but Pei Yanhe took her to skip classes, climb over the wall, and travel thousands of miles, and finally miraculously caught up with the exhibition.
At that time, the exhibition hall was filled with various adults, but they were the only ones wearing identical autumn school uniforms, walking in front of each painting.
The joy of visiting the art exhibition gradually overshadowed the palpitations of skipping classes.
That kind of excitement and pleasure of surviving a disaster filled Shen Yizhi's heart, a joy he had never experienced before.
Every time she visited an exhibition afterwards, she would always think of that day, the day when Pei Yanhe took her to skip class.
The scorching sun shone through the gaps in the leaves onto Pei Yanhe. He sat astride the wall and stretched out his hand towards her below.
The school uniform was loose, with the sleeves folded at the elbows, revealing half of his clean and neat forearms. His lowered eyes were dark, with the air of a young man with wind-blown hair.
The cicadas are still as noisy and the sunlight is still as dazzling.
The school walls are high, but they cannot trap their unyielding youth.
…
When he came to his senses, Pei Yanhe had left the exhibition hall to answer a phone call, and Shen Yizhi was the only one left in the exhibition hall again.
After viewing most of the paintings in the exhibition, Shen Yizhi was about to leave.
There was a faint sound of discussion coming from the other side of the barrier behind me.
"Who was that girl who just asked President Pei to pause the exhibition review? Sister Han, do you know her? She seems very familiar with President Pei."
"Sister Han, have you been pursuing Mr. Pei for almost a month? Any latest progress?!"
Cheng Zhuhan forced herself to smile gently and calmly answered their questions, "That girl and Mr. Pei are childhood sweethearts. I'm not very familiar with her. As for the progress... not yet."
The girl standing to her left warned, "Childhood sweethearts, those who grew up together, are most likely to lose their sense of boundaries. Sister Han, be careful. Who knows, that girl might be a green tea girl who has seduced President Pei."
The girl on the right echoed, "Yeah, yeah, if that girl had any sense, she should have stayed away from President Pei. Any normal adult knows that there are differences between men and women!"
Standing in the corner, a certain Shen Yizhi who was mentioned: "..."
She never thought that the way she and Pei Yanhe had been playing and bickering since they were young would be described in such a bad way by others.
The most important thing is why is she the one being attacked?
Why was Pei Yanhe excluded? He was clearly the key figure in this matter!
It would have been fine if she hadn't heard it, but now that she heard it, I really couldn't stand it.
Shen Yizhi turned around as he was about to leave and was about to go over to "start a fight" when he heard another female voice.
Cheng Zhuhan: "Don't say that. It has nothing to do with her. Even if I didn't catch her, it's between me and Mr. Pei."
"That's right. When pursuing someone, you shouldn't target the opposite sex around him." Shen Yizhi suddenly walked slowly from the side to them, speaking clearly and with a touch of nonchalance in his voice.
The two clerks who had just been saying bad things and were so proud of themselves were caught on the spot and were immediately shocked. "You! Why are you still here?!"
"I'm not here, how can I hear you talking about me?" Shen Yizhi raised her eyebrows and smiled coquettishly, but it made people's scalps tingle for some reason.
"Next time you say something bad about someone behind their back, remember to keep your voice down. After all, not everyone has a good temper like me."
Too lazy to argue with them anymore, Shen Yizhi slowly waved goodbye to the two blushing girls.
When leaving, he did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Cheng Zhuhan, as if a red rose had bloomed, releasing his charm for no reason.
Cheng Zhuhan was stunned for a moment.
After leaving the exhibition hall, Shen Yizhi paused at the entrance. He caught a glimpse of the exhibition instructions posted outside the door. The curator "Cheng Zhuhan" was written in the lower right corner.
"Have you finished the exhibition?"
Pei Yanhe's low and mellow voice suddenly came from above his head.
Shen Yizhi was covered by his long shadow and looked up at him.
Against the light, his facial features were still clear and distinct even in the shadows, and his dark brown eyes were deep and profound.
Shen Yizhi suppressed his emotions and asked, "You haven't left yet?"
