Chapter 55
This question is actually not easy to answer.
It can even be said that she was a little unable to answer.
Family, it seems too close.
My friend, it seems like something is missing.
Shen Yizhi pursed his lips, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, “Do I have to answer this question?”
Pei Yanhe didn't intend to give her a way out and threw a question to her, "Can you recognize your own feelings?"
It seems like I've gone a bit off topic.
Shen Yizhi frowned, "Aren't we going to have dinner, why are we talking about this?"
Pei Yanhe was silent for a while. The darkness around him grew thicker and thicker, like a ball of ink that could not be wiped away.
After a long time, the night wind blew quietly with a sigh, as if a compromise.
"Forget it, let's go."
It was a rare occasion that the two of them walked in silence all the way to the restaurant.
Shen Yizhi found a seat with the best night view and sat down. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, she carefully looked at the starry night sky.
You can't see this kind of moonlight in the city of Kyoto.
After ordering the dishes, Pei Yanhe handed the menu back to the waiter and his eyes fell on her beautiful profile. Her skin was cold and white, her lips were red without any makeup, and her black hair was naturally curled and draped behind her waist.
The dark blue sky dotted her body, making her look like the outermost blue flame of a burning fire circle, beautiful yet most dangerous.
He asked, "Like?"
Shen Yizhi replied nonchalantly: “Of course, you can’t see such a starry sky in Kyoto.”
Perhaps Pei Yanhe took the initiative to break the quiet deadlock that had just existed.
She then remembered to ask: "Why did you suddenly ask me that question just now?"
"Pei Shanshan, are you hiding something from me?"
Shen Yizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a scrutinizing look, trying to see through him.
Pei Yanhe didn't answer but asked, "Want to know?"
Shen Yizhi nodded heavily, but was afraid of appearing too deliberate, "It's okay, but if you're bored, you can tell me."
"Then think carefully about my question." Pei Yanhe took a sip of tea and tapped the table lightly with his other hand. His white fingertips were like jade porcelain in the light.
His problem?
Shen Yizhi really recalled it carefully, and the words popped up automatically in his ears——
"Can you recognize your own feelings?"
emotion?
What feelings?
Whose feelings are you having?
Could it be directed at him?
The more he thought about it, the weirder it became. Shen Yizhi couldn't help but shudder, "The most annoying thing is using my brain."
"I don't want to know anymore." She gave up decisively, and her original curiosity was diluted.
Pei Yanhe was uncharacteristically calm and didn't press her any further. He just locked his dark eyes on her and said, "One day you will tell me the answer."
This made Shen Yizhi a little puzzled. She supported her chin with her palm and tilted her head to look at him, her eyes sharp but without any distracting thoughts.
She said, “Are you so sure?”
Pei Yanhe's eyes were dark and unclear, and the corners of his lips curved slightly. "I don't do things I'm not sure of."
Shen Yizhi asked with interest: "Including my feelings?"
The restaurant fell into silence for a long time, so long that it seemed like only one night, yet it also seemed like the eighteen years that had been following him like a shadow.
After a while, Pei Yanhe raised his eyelids and said "hmm" in a very light tone.
Shen Yizhi was stunned for a moment.
Deep in the darkest corner of her heart, she also hid an unknown secret.
It was the throbbing of her girlhood, like a greengage stuck in her throat.
She hadn't told anyone in high school—
She also liked Pei Yanhe.
It's funny to say that she was inexplicably moved by the person she had been arguing with since childhood, but was also coldly and ruthlessly rejected by him.
I only remember that at the back mountain of the high school, Shen Yizhi saw that Pei Yanhe had not left the campus for a long time, so he had to go back to the school to find him. Unexpectedly, he accidentally encountered a girl confessing her love to him in the back mountain.
As expected, Pei Yanhe rejected the girl just like he rejected the others.
But the girl asked him a question without giving up, "Do you have someone you like? Is it Shen Yizhi?"
Shen Yizhi leaned against the wall, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes, but the next moment, Pei Yanhe's answer filled her chest with anger.
He said, “No, I don’t like it.”
She no longer wanted to care about Pei Yanhe, a person without vision.
People who are arrogant and have strong self-esteem will never learn to bow their heads.
So the next day, Shen Yizhi decided to pursue the pretty girl in school.
If for no other reason than to pass the time and relieve the uncontrollable anger in my heart.
It was then that she decided not to like Pei Yanhe anymore.
-
Things are different now, our identities are reversed.
All the things that were wrong with Pei Yanhe these past few days seemed to be telling...
He likes her.
Shen Yizhi came back to his senses and curled his lips, "Then you wait patiently."
After so many years of grudges, she should finally be able to get her revenge.
It's not easy to like her.
Pei Yanhe's expression was calm, and he smiled calmly, "What a coincidence, I'm very good at waiting."
The waiter came forward with a plate, briefly interrupting their conversation.
Shen Yizhi avoided his gaze, lowered her eyelashes, and stared at the waiter serving the dishes.
Pei Yanhe's gaze showed no sign of abating, and remained fixed on her, watching her slender white fingertips entangle her hair from time to time out of boredom.
The entanglement of black and white creates a vivid visual impact.
"Ding Dong" sound.
There was a message coming in on her phone.
Chen Yizhi loosened the hair from between his fingers and swiped the page on his phone.
It’s news from Jiang Chi Nan.
Jiang Chi Nan: [Do you have time to come to Qingcheng Flower Room?]
Zhengzhi: [Now?]
Jiang Chinan: [Yes]
She didn't pick up the phone, just laid it flat on the table.
The content of the chat directly caught Pei Yanhe's sight.
Especially the four words "Qingcheng Flower Room".
Pei Yanhe wiped his hands with a hot towel and stared at her fingertips as she was about to tap the screen again.
He said slowly, "Eat."
Shen Yizhi was so focused on the conversation that he didn't even look up. "Wait a moment."
The next second, a hand appeared in front of me and snatched the phone away.
Shen Yizhi was caught off guard and raised his head, "Pei Yanhe, why are you taking my phone?"
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
The phone screen was still on, and it even showed "the other party is typing."
Pei Yanhe glanced at it expressionlessly, then put his phone aside and said slowly, "Eat well."
Shen Yizhi was reluctant, "Let me finish replying to the message before eating."
Pei Yanhe didn't move at all, cutting the steak slowly and methodically. After a while, he replaced the plate of cut steak in front of her and started cutting another one.
He ignored her words.
Shen Yizhi gritted his teeth and said, “Are you a knife cutter?”
"Pei Yanhe, are you even listening to me anymore?!"
When the young master heard this, he just glanced at her indifferently, raised his chin slightly towards her, and said something without paying any attention to others.
"The steak is overcooked, you should like it."
“…”
Playing the lute to a cow.
Speak to the deaf.
Shen Yizhi really doesn't like steak to be undercooked, and usually only orders it well-done.
He remembered all her tastes.
Shen Yizhi glanced at the steak cut into small pieces in front of him.
Forget it, the most important thing is to eat a lot.
Pei Yanhe noticed that she finally picked up the knife and fork reluctantly, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
