Chapter 34
Pei Yanhe stopped, looked at him sideways, and raised an eyebrow, "No?"
Although this young master usually invites people to dinner, he always shows the money but not the people.
This time, you're going together for the first time?
Secretary Qin flattered, "Boss Pei, you pay, you can do whatever you want."
Pei Yanhe glanced at him, then walked out of the office slowly, and finally threw two words at him in an oppressive manner.
"Hurry up."
-
Jingding Restaurant.
When Shen Heng looked towards the box door for the nth time.
Shen Yizhi knocked on the table, "Can you eat properly?"
Chen Heng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, "Don't talk when eating or sleeping, don't talk."
This was a blatant expression of his dislike for her urging him to eat.
“Puff—”
Jiang Chi Nan, who was standing by, laughed out loud at this remark. The dimples on both sides of his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his curly hair was shaking with laughter. "This kid is quite interesting."
"What grade are you in?" he asked.
Chen Heng looked up from his bowl and said expressionlessly, "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
Jiang Chinan was a rebellious person, so he moved to sit next to him and said, "I guess you should be in the fourth grade."
Shen Heng's eyes showed uncontrollable shock for a second, then he reacted and quickly returned to his cold expression.
"How do you know?"
"Want to know?" Jiang Chi Nan teased the child, "Then tell me your name?"
Shen Heng hated being threatened the most, but he really wanted to know the answer to this question. At his age, his thirst for knowledge was at its strongest, so he turned his gaze to Shen Yizhi on the other side for an answer.
She noticed his gaze, looked back, and slowly explained to him, "Your voice."
"Chen Yizhi, why did you betray me?" Jiang Chinan complained.
Shen Yizhi was as calm as if she was taking care of two children. "His name is Shen Heng, Heng from Hengshan."
Jiang Chi Nan was satisfied.
Shen Heng thought for a moment and then asked, "Why can he guess my age from my voice?"
He had never heard of such a thing.
Shen Yizhi said: "Your pronunciation, tone, and the way you speak."
After hearing her explain so clearly, Shen Heng asked: "So you can do it too?"
"Not everyone can do this," Shen Yizhi put down his chopsticks and pointed at Jiang Chinan, "He is naturally sensitive to sound. I can't learn it."
Jiang Chi Nan said to Shen Hengpaozhi, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
He must be trying to get close to him and bribe him.
Chen Heng refused without a second thought: "I don't want to learn."
"I want to go to the bathroom, come with me." He looked at Shen Yizhi and said suddenly.
Shen Yizhi wondered why he hadn't gone there on his own just now. Fortunately, she wanted to wash her hands, so she didn't ask any more questions and stood up.
"Let's go."
"I'll wait for you in the box." Jiang Chi Nan said to their backs.
Shen Yizhi responded, opened the door of the box, and walked through the corridor with Shen Heng. After walking a few steps, they turned the corner and saw a familiar figure standing at the glass window at the end of the darkness.
The man leaned against the wall, his hair slightly blown by the breeze outside the window, his three-dimensional and delicate profile hidden in the light and shadow, a cigarette between his lips and teeth, and the scarlet firelight illuminated the surroundings.
He lowered his neck and took a deep breath. When he tilted his head to exhale the smoke, his eyes fell on Shen Yizhi.
In her memory, Pei Yanhe seemed to seldom smoke. She had met him once before, and Shen Yizhi inexplicably felt that he looked very handsome when smoking. His aloof temperament was tinged with ruffian spirit, so handsome that she also wanted to try it.
So at that time she reached out to grab the cigarette from Pei Yanhe's hand, and took a shallow puff on the cigarette butt he had bitten, imitating his posture. Her lungs seemed to be filled with cold wind, and she started coughing non-stop the next second.
Pei Yanhe took the cigarette back from her hand, put it between his lips and teeth, and felt the moist and sweet smell left on the cigarette butt. He stroked her back slowly and silently.
"Cigarettes are bad, don't touch them."
After Shen Yizhi recovered, he asked unyieldingly, "Why are you smoking?"
After a long while, Pei Yanhe finally spoke: "I won't smoke anymore."
Since then, she has never thought about smoking again, and she has never seen Pei Yanhe smoking again. This is the first time she sees him again after so many years, and he is full of stability and maturity, even surpassing the youthful vigor of those years.
"Is that Brother He? Is he smoking?" Chen Heng looked up at her and asked innocently.
Shen Yizhi said seriously: “Well, bad habits, don’t learn them.”
Shen Heng said: "But don't you think it's handsome?"
As expected, both of them have the surname Chen and have the same vision.
"It's okay." Shen Yizhi's eyes fell on Pei Yanhe, who was extinguishing his cigarette and walking towards him, and he said perfunctorily to him.
The look in Hege's eyes when she saw him smoking just now didn't look like he was okay. Shen Heng had an expression of seeing through everything when he saw Hege approaching.
He asked, "Brother He, are you also having dinner at Jingding?"
Pei Yanhe cast a calm gaze on him, "Yeah."
The question was asked in a strange and natural way, as if the two people talking on the phone just now were not them.
"Who are you with?" Shen Yizhi looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.
If I didn't know, I would have thought she was checking up on me.
But Pei Yanhe knew that she was afraid that he would secretly go out for dinner with Chen Jinyang and the others without her knowledge.
"Company dinner." Pei Yanhe's tone sounded a little helpless, and when he met her still suspicious eyes, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
"Don't believe it?"
"I barely believe you."
Shen Yizhi smelled the mint and cigarette scent on him, which was inexplicably pleasant. She unconsciously sniffed it twice, but then felt that this made her look a bit like a thief, so she cleared her cough twice as if to cover it up and asked casually.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't smoke?"
Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes to look at her, "I suddenly want to smoke."
"Oh." Shen Yizhi didn't ask any more questions, remembering the purpose of coming out, "Please make way, we need to go to the bathroom."
The restroom was not far behind him, but the road in front of him was blocked by Pei Yanhe.
He stood still and asked, "Let's go home together after dinner?"
Shen Yizhi frowned, “I drove here.”
Pei Yanhe stared at her with his dark brown eyes, and said in a normal tone, "It's okay to take your car."
Shen Yizhi: “…”
That doesn't seem to be what she meant.
"But I brought people with me, so it's okay if you don't mind being crowded."
The Maybach is not crowded at all when four people sit in it, and it can even be said to be very spacious.
But this young master hates contact with strangers the most, regardless of gender, and treats them equally. For him, the safest distance is one meter. If they are in the same space together, he would wish to fill the air with disinfectant.
Pei Yanhe suddenly asked back: "You brought people to eat at this restaurant?"
Shen Yizhi said: "Yes, he just returned to China and wanted to eat Beijing food, so I brought him here."
Chen Heng, who had been silent the whole time, quickly answered: "It's a man, and a very talkative man."
Shen Yizhi glanced at him, then said to Pei Yanhe: “Okay, I’ll call you when I’m about to leave.”
She gently pushed his shoulder, and the corridor was instantly half empty, and she passed directly in front of him.
Chen Heng looked at Pei Yanhe, hesitant to speak, a trace of pity on his young face.
He said that Shen Yizhi, this little white girl, is not easy to pursue.
He sighed deeply in sorrow and hurriedly followed Shen Yizhi's steps.
In an instant, Pei Yanhe was the only one left in the corridor.
With a "click" sound.
In the dim light, a flickering flame lit up at his fingertips. He casually closed the lighter cover, then opened it again and rubbed the fire wheel.
In the silent and deserted corridor, the only sound was the sound of him playing with his lighter, amplified infinitely.
Pei Yanhe's deep brows showed some incomprehensible emotions. He leaned against the wall, his long neck slightly drooped, and the collar of his white shirt was loose.
When Qin Mi came out to look for someone, he happened to see this scene and walked forward.
"Boss Pei, everyone inside is looking for you, why are you standing here?"
