Chapter 47
"Loosen it," Shen Yizhi said, "I can put it on myself."
"Oh." Pei Yanhe obediently let go of his hand, but the image of Shen Yizhi's fierce kitten-like appearance just now still emerged in his mind, and his eyebrows raised a little.
Shen Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his coat, and glared at him, "Pei Shanshan, you——"
Just as the warning words were about to come out of her mouth, two familiar figures appeared in her peripheral vision.
The distant view was obscured by trees and only a vague outline remained, but it was enough for Shen Yizhi to see clearly.
Shang Kuoheng's straight back almost covered Shu Xinyu's slender figure. He pressed Shu Xinyu against the tree trunk tightly and forcefully.
He bent his head slightly, and Shu Xinyu seemed to be responding to him. At first glance, it was obvious that they were kissing.
Shen Yizhi was stunned for two seconds.
Pei Yanhe followed her gaze and naturally saw this scene. He had no interest in prying into other people's private lives.
He looked away in just half a second.
Shen Yizhi reacted and wondered, "We agreed to get married by agreement, so why did they kiss?"
Pei Yanhe said indifferently, "I don't know."
Shen Yizhi hissed, and thought of something, "Pei Yanhe, do you think Grandpa Pei will urge you to get married one day, and then you..."
I was halfway through the conversation and somehow got stuck here.
Chen Yizhi lowered her eyelashes, silently covering up this inexplicable emotion, and looked at him again as if nothing had happened.
"But Grandpa Pei has always been kind and humorous, and he's not as harsh on you as Grandpa Shang was on Shang Kuoheng."
"So Grandpa Pei is definitely not in a hurry."
"Who said he wasn't anxious?" Pei Yanhe walked a few steps in the opposite direction of the tavern. "He was extremely anxious more than 20 years ago."
Shen Yizhi caught up with him, "Who are you kidding? How old were you twenty years ago?"
Pei Yanhe was silent for a moment. He glanced at her with his sharp eyes for a second before looking away. He said in a leisurely tone, "I was already your family's adopted husband twenty years ago."
"That was just a joke from the elders in the family," Shen Yizhi said, "Pei Shanshan, you wouldn't take it seriously, would you?"
"There's nothing I can do," Pei Yanhe curled his lips, "It's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
Shen Yizhi: “…”
-
Since Shang Kuaheng's flash marriage was completely exposed, there was no need to hide it anymore, so they simply had dinner together in the village the next day.
When Chen Yizhi arrived, Shang Kuoheng was the only one in the private room.
She sat down opposite Shang Kuoheng and asked, "They haven't arrived yet?"
Shang Kuoheng was slowly and methodically boiling the dishes and chopsticks. Upon hearing this, he stopped what he was doing and looked up, "We arrived early."
He deliberately gave Shen Yizhi ten minutes early time just to create an opportunity for a conversation.
Shen Yizhi understood the implication, "Do you have something to tell me?"
She raised her chin slightly and said, "First of all, I won't apologize for throwing the bag at you yesterday."
Regardless of whether this matter was right or wrong, asking Shen Yizhi to apologize was a unique thing.
Shang Kuoheng laughed, "I know. I mean, I was wrong to marry Shu Xinyu without telling you."
At this point, he paused, "But don't worry, she won't suffer any loss if she follows me."
Shen Yizhi supported his chin and looked at him with sharp eyes, no longer as friendly as before.
Both sides are her best friends.
She was confident in Shang Kuoheng's character, but the idea of a marriage by arrangement didn't sound very reliable.
"If you bully her, I will hit you more than once next time." Shen Yizhi stood in front of him with his hands clenched into fists, speaking with a warning.
Shang Kuoheng smiled and said, "Well, you can beat me as you like."
"That's more like it."
Shen Yizhi withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I noticed something was wrong with you last time at the police station. It turns out you fell in love with Shu Xinyu at first sight. Have you been planning this for a long time?"
Shang Kuoheng said, "Not really. I've already met her a few times in college."
Shen Yizhi suddenly realized, "It's a secret crush. I didn't expect someone like you, Officer Shang, would play the secret crush game."
A faint smile appeared on Shang Kuoheng's elegant face, and he said in a cryptic way, "Compared to someone, I'm still a little bit behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open.
"Hey, why are you two here so early?" Chen Jinyang walked in wearing a summer beach shirt, like a walking paint palette, so ostentatious that it was a little dazzling.
Pei Yanhe, who walked in from behind him, wearing a simple and clean white T-shirt, looked very monotonous.
But Pei Yanhe is a walking clothes rack. Even if he is wearing a sack suit, he can still look elegant.
So among Chen Jinyang's colorful and messy colors, Pei Yanhe is like a freshener.
"Erhuo," Shen Yizhi looked at him from head to toe and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity for you to stay in the villa with such conspicuous clothes."
Apart from Chen Jinyang, she really couldn't find anyone else in the circle who liked to dress so flashily and conspicuously.
Chen Jinyang casually pulled up a seat and sat down, waving his hand in a feigned modesty, saying, "No, it's precisely the villa that can better highlight my outfit."
The corners of Shen Yizhi's mouth twitched twice, and he cooperated: "That's true."
Suddenly, a delicate and small handbag appeared in my sight. It was the one that fell on Shang Kuoheng yesterday.
The knuckles hooked with the silver chain were sharp and slender, and the skin was cold white, with pale blue veins almost visible.
Shen Yizhi turned her head to look at him, "Why is my bag here with you?"
Yesterday, in a righteous mood, Shang Kuoheng handed it back to her, but she didn't take it.
Later, I naturally forgot about it.
She was a little shocked when it appeared in Pei Yanhe's hands.
Pei Yanhe calmly pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, "Isn't that you, the bag-carrying boy?"
Shen Yizhi took the bag, hung it on the back of the chair, and murmured, "This is the first time I've seen someone so obedient."
Pei Yanhe sneered.
"Sorry, I'm late." Shu Xinyu pushed open the door of the box and said apologetically.
Shang Kuoheng stood up and walked forward, naturally taking the bag from her shoulder, "Don't be polite with them, they are all family."
Chen Jinyang saw this scene and figured out something. "You two... don't live together?"
They didn't come to the restaurant together, so it seems they must be sleeping separately.
It seems that this couple has no feelings for each other at all.
Shen Yizhi threw the hot towel that the waiter had just handed to him in front of him and said, "Why do you care so much about other people's private affairs?"
"Okay, okay, I'm asking too many questions." Chen Jinyang picked up the menu and said, "Order, order."
The purpose of this dinner was purely for Shang Kuoheng to bring Shu Xinyu to show her face in front of them, as a way of getting to know them and also to confirm a certain status.
However, Shen Yizhi and Shu Xinyu already knew each other, and with Chen Jinyang being the chatterbox, the dinner table naturally became lively.
At one point, Shen Yizhi wanted to move a chair and sit next to Shu Xinyu.
After all, the round table was too big, and Shu Xinyu was sitting right opposite her, so she sounded a little hoarse when she spoke.
Thinking so, she did so.
The man had just moved half an inch away from the stool when he was pushed back with a domineering yet measured force.
Pei Yanhe said calmly: "Sit here and eat well."
