Chapter 49
As they walked along the way, Shen Yizhi and Jiang Chinan stood in front, while Pei Yanhe followed closely behind them.
He put his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, and strolled leisurely, as if he was out for a stroll.
Jiang Chi Nan was keenly aware that although this Pei man seemed leisurely, his eyes were fixed on Shen Yizhi. Even if he didn't say a word, his presence could not be ignored.
He took advantage of the blind spot at the corner of the pavilion and asked quietly, "Why did your childhood sweetheart follow me out?"
Shen Yizhi couldn't understand why he spoke like a thief, and glanced at him sideways, "He said he digests food after eating."
Good for digesting food after a meal.
Jiang Chi Nan's mouth twitched. Seeing the quiet and peaceful surroundings, and the strong summer atmosphere, he asked, "Isn't this villa a little too quiet?"
Shen Yizhi complained mercilessly, "You are usually too noisy."
Jiang Chi Nan was naturally sensitive to all kinds of sounds, and he really didn't like quietness.
So, he nodded in agreement, "It seems so."
The pavilion is lined with lush wisteria flowers, with slender branches drooping in the air. Occasionally, a gentle breeze blows, bringing up a momentary rain of flowers.
Shen Yizhi just loved admiring these flowers and trees. He looked up and was so engrossed in them that he didn't even notice the steps under his feet.
In vain, her feet felt empty, her body suddenly lost its balance, and she was about to fall forward.
"Chen Yizhi!" Jiang Chi Nan reacted quickly enough and reached out to grab her, but he was still a little short of the distance.
There are five levels of stairs.
If you miss and fall like this, your instinctive reaction will be to support yourself with your hands to increase the area of force.
But Shen Yizhi's wrist could no longer withstand even the slightest pressure.
He still has to reach a little further! Just a little bit is enough!
Shen Yizhi's mind was blank, his whole body was almost suspended in the air, the wind blowing past his ears seemed to be rapidly falling, and Jiang Chi Nan's voice was still echoing behind him.
As she got closer to the ground, she closed her eyes and her five senses were infinitely magnified.
When her forearm was held by a large, warm palm, her eyelashes trembled and her scalp felt tingling.
The imagined pain did not come.
The world spun around, and Shen Yizhi's forehead hit a hard chest. Realizing that she was back on land, she slowly opened her eyes.
What caught my eye was that cold, safe face.
The surroundings seemed to be muted, with only the chaotic heartbeat like a drum beating on every tense nerve of hers.
Every time you encounter difficulties or dangers, there is always someone standing behind you.
She could see it as long as she turned around.
Jiang Chi Nan's hand missed, in fact he was half a step slow.
He was clearly standing next to Shen Yizhi, but not as fast as Pei Yanhe who was standing behind him.
This person must have paid a lot of attention to Shen Yizhi to be able to do it so quickly!
The force on her forearm was so strong that it hurt. Shen Yizhi came to her senses and sniffed, "Pei Yanhe, you hurt me."
Pei Yanhe slowed down his pace, but his hand did not move away. His cold eyes swept across her slightly clenched fingers.
That was a micro-expression of her fear.
He looked at her with his eyes downcast: "Watch the road when you walk, don't you know?"
Shen Yizhi was very dissatisfied with his cold tone. Fortunately, she still had a conscience and felt a little grateful to him. She shook off his hand.
"Of course I know. It's none of your business."
Not only did he not say a word of comfort, but he also made sarcastic remarks here.
She was really pissed off.
Pei Yanhe silently retracted his fingertips, then realized that his tone was a bit extreme and restrained his expression.
"I don't care about you. You don't even know how you died just now."
Shen Yizhi glared at him and said, "Don't worry, I still know if you fall to death."
Jiang Chi Nan came back to his senses after taking a slow step, walked forward, and looked at Shen Yizhi from head to toe. Seeing that there was only a thin red spot on his forearm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Azhi, please don't be distracted when you walk next time."
Pei Yanhe glanced at him with his eyes deep and cold. Those two words made people feel more and more uncomfortable the more they heard them.
Shen Yizhi rubbed his forehead which was hurt by the collision just now, and explained: "I was not distracted just now, I just-"
She paused, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, and glanced to her side.
Pei Yanhe understood and added expressionlessly, "He was so engrossed in appreciating the flowers."
Shen Yizhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Jiang Chi Nan was stunned when he saw this tacit understanding. He forced a smile and said, "Then you should also pay attention to the road."
Shen Yizhi covered his ears and said, “Okay, I don’t want to hear any more preaching.”
They are just like teaching kindergarten kids a lesson.
My ears are getting calluses from listening to it so much.
-
After showing Jiang Chi Nan around Decheng Villa, he happened to receive a message from Chen Jinyang asking where they had been, so he hurried back to the Zen room.
Tea smoke curls up, and the peaceful and calming incense floats in the air. The plain tea table stands under the warm woven lamp, and the mottled light and shadows cast by the sunlight exude a calming and healing atmosphere.
"Azhi, is there no lively place in our villa?"
Jiang Chinan took off his mask and walked in.
Shen Yizhi comforted him: “Don’t worry, it’s lively enough here.”
It was quiet all around, and Jiang Chi Nan suspected she was fooling people, "It's not lively at all..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard passionate voices of "Shun Zi" and "No" coming from the innermost box.
Playing Landlord in the Zen room?
Quite interesting.
Shen Yizhi opened the door of the Zen room.
Hearing the noise, Chen Jinyang's eyes immediately lit up. With his face covered with white stripes, he waved desperately towards the door without turning his head.
"Pei Yanhe, please come and save me! I need you, my beloved!"
Pei Yanhe raised his eyes lazily, still standing behind Shen Yizhi without moving, his eyes fixed on the man who had approached the girl in front countless times.
Jiang Chi Nan approached Shen Yizhi, hesitated and asked, "Is this also your childhood friend?"
Shen Yizhi said calmly: "I don't know him."
Noticing no one responded, Chen Jinyang turned around and shouted angrily, "What are you dawdling about? Come on!"
Suddenly he realized that the person standing next to Shen Yiji was not Pei Yanhe.
"Hey, is this a new friend?"
He hissed and squinted his eyes, "Looks a little familiar."
Shang Kuoheng and Shu Xinyu, who were sitting on Chen Jinyang's left, turned around when they heard this.
Shang Kuoheng had no impression of Jiang Chi Nan, but Shu Xinyu knew him. When she met Jiang Chi Nan's eyes, she nodded as a greeting.
Shang Kuoheng noticed this move and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know him?"
Shu Xinyu lowered her eyes and explained softly, "When I went to England to visit Zhizhi, we had a few meals together."
Fearing Shang Kuoheng might misunderstand, she added, "We're just acquaintances, not very familiar with each other."
Shang Kuoheng's expression was warm and bright, and he smiled at her, "I understand."
"I remember now!" Chen Jinyang rushed to the door. "You look a bit like that popular singer from abroad, what's his name... Jiang..."
"Jiang Chi Nan, it's me." Jiang Chi Nan smiled, not expecting to be recognized by Shen Yizhi's friends.
"I was wondering why he looked so familiar." Chen Jinyang put his arm around his shoulder, "So Chen Yizhi is here to pick you up."
"Shen Yizhi's friends are our friends, play with us freely, don't be shy!"
It was the first time that Jiang Chi Nan met someone who was more familiar than him, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Chen Yizhi and Pei Yanhe were used to seeing Chen Jinyang socializing with others, so they walked past the two people arm in arm and sat down on the left side of the long square table.
Pei Yanhe naturally sat on her right.
Even though they often quarreled fiercely, everyone always acquiesced.
The seat next to Shen Yizhi was reserved for Pei Yanhe.
Even Shen Yizhi gradually got used to these existences.
