Chapter 60
The next day, the sudden rain stopped completely.
Chen Jinyang knocked on Pei Yanhe's door early in the morning, his expression impatient and worried.
Pei Yanhe rubbed his aching temples, with messy hair, and looked a little embarrassed as he opened the door. Then he turned and walked towards the living room without saying a word.
Chen Jinyang changed his shoes and walked in, chasing after him. "It rained last night. Are you... okay?"
Pei Yanhe poured himself a glass of water. Chen Jinyang was feeling a little thirsty and thought it was for him. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he saw him put his hand up to the glass and take a few sips slowly.
"What could be the problem?"
"..." Chen Jinyang swallowed his saliva, knowing that he couldn't count on this young master to be considerate. He poured himself a cup and drank it, then glanced at the top of his head which was as messy as a bird's nest.
"You didn't sleep all night, it doesn't look like you have any problems."
"It's not because of this." Pei Yanhe rubbed his fluffy hair and walked towards the sofa.
There was another knock on the door.
Pei Yanhe had no intention of getting up to open the door, so Chen Jinyang had no choice but to open it without complaint.
Shang Kuoheng was not surprised that he was the one who opened the door, and was the first to ask, "Are you okay?"
Chen Jinyang raised his head and said, "Go and see for yourself."
Shang Kuoheng walked in and looked up and down at the young master who was sitting in the corner of the sofa, who was intact. Except for his hair and collar being a little messy, there was nothing else unusual.
"As long as you're okay."
"Chen Yizhi is not here?" Chen Jinyang then realized something was strange.
In the past, when it rained, the person who would accompany Pei Yanhe would always include Shen Yizhi.
This time it was strange, there was not even a shadow.
Shang Kuoheng looked at Pei Yanhe and said, "Zhi, she has gone down the mountain."
"Are you guys arguing again?" Chen Jinyang also looked at him.
Pei Yanhe was upset. He leaned back on the sofa with his head tilted back, his eyes slightly closed, and his voice was dry and hoarse. "Something happened."
Now Chen Jinyang and Shang Kuoheng were both silent.
For Pei Yanhe to say this with such an expression, this matter must be very complicated.
Chen Jinyang asked, "How big of a problem is it? Can't it be solved?"
Pei Yanhe said nothing, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the ceiling slightly distracted.
Shang Kuoheng guessed: "Did you cause this?"
The air froze for a moment.
Pei Yanhe seemed to come back to his senses, his eyes focused, and he said, "We kissed."
Chen Jinyang: “…”
Shang Kuoheng: “…”
You hit the jackpot right from the start, buddy.
"Did you force the kiss?" Chen Jinyang asked in disbelief.
Pei Yanhe's emotions and voice were a little dull, "Yeah."
Chen Jinyang stopped talking and just shook his head. After a while, he managed to say, "So Master Pei's method of pursuing people is so direct."
“…”
Shang Kuoheng considered their current situation and asked, "Are you in a cold war now?"
She didn't answer his calls and didn't reply to his messages. Pei Yanhe wanted to talk to her, but it rained last night and he couldn't find any other way.
"She unilaterally gave me the cold shoulder."
He subconsciously touched his neck.
Chen Jinyang noticed this action with his sharp eyes. He came forward and made a "tsk" sound.
"You bite so hard, you're the one who can coax me."
-
"Ah, what did you say just now? Can you say it again?" Shen Yizhi came back from his trance and said to Cheng Zhuhan with an apologetic look.
This was the third time she had been distracted.
Cheng Zhuhan sighed helplessly, put down her coffee, and instead of repeating what she had just said, she asked, "Did something bother you? You're so absent-minded."
Shen Yizhi blinked and said, "It's okay, I just haven't had a good rest recently."
She didn't say anything, and Cheng Zhuhan didn't ask any more questions, so they had to continue talking about the art exhibition.
"The exhibition location was chosen in Kyoto's most prosperous Pujiang District, as per your request. I've shortlisted three locations, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, which I've listed below."
She handed the documents to the other side and said, "Take a look and see which one is the most suitable. I will go and discuss it."
Shen Yizhi took a deep breath, decided to put the matter behind him, picked up the document and opened it carefully.
Cheng Zhuhan's eyes fell on her slightly swollen lips, and her sharp mind told her that they were swollen from being kissed.
As for who it was, she suddenly became curious.
"Let's take this one." Shen Yizhi raised his eyes and met Cheng Zhuhan's meaningful gaze.
"Is your mouth okay?" Cheng Zhuhan asked.
Shen Yizhi subconsciously touched her lower lip, and it was still a little burning and painful. Pei Yanhe had kissed her too hard last night.
The thought of this made her heart beat fast. The countless missed calls and unopened messages on her phone were all from the same person.
She just doesn't want to answer or reply.
"fine."
Cheng Zhuhan propped her chin up with her hand and looked at her, saying without hesitation: "Pei Yanhe kissed her?"
Shen Yizhi was slightly surprised, "How did you know?"
Cheng Zhuhan said: "That's because I already knew that your relationship was not simple."
“You’re not—” Shen Yizhi was interrupted by her just as he was halfway through his words.
"Don't bring up the past. Besides, I have a boyfriend now." Cheng Zhuhan smiled sweetly. "My status in the circle is not much inferior to Pei Yanhe."
Shen Yizhi didn't know how to start for a moment. After a while, he said, "I wish you happiness."
Cheng Zhuhan waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about my business first, let's talk about yours."
Shen Yizhi took a sip of coffee and said, "That's it. I blocked him unilaterally."
Cheng Zhuhan asked: "Because he kissed you? Why?"
"You took advantage of me without my permission." Shen Yizhi said seriously.
Cheng Zhuhan chuckled and said, "I don't believe you don't want to kiss him. Even if you haven't thought about it, when he kisses you, you will definitely want to kiss him back."
Shen Yizhi was completely struck by what he said: "..."
She did have the urge to kiss him back last night, but it only lasted a second.
"I think there's no one more suitable than you two. I was wondering why you two hadn't been together for so long," Cheng Zhuhan looked at her and said, "Now I finally know the reason."
They chatted about some random things afterwards, but were forced to end the topic because Cheng Zhuhan's boyfriend came to pick her up.
Cheng Zhuhan opened the passenger door, smiled, and said, "I hope what I said today is helpful to you. I wish you good luck."
Shen Yizhi stood by the road and smiled at her, "Thank you."
Cheng Zhuhan closed the car door, fastened her seat belt, and softly said to her boyfriend who was driving the car, "Let's go."
The man had an arrogant face, silver-white hair, broken eyebrows, and a wolf's tail. His every move and gesture showed mischief.
He glanced at the pretty girl on the side of the road through the rearview mirror, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Your friend?"
Cheng Zhuhan realized that she was asking about Shen Yizhi, and responded, "Yes. Didn't you say you were in a hurry to go to the party? Let's go."
The silver Aston Martin drove away.
The car is indeed a good one, but the license plate looks familiar.
Before Shen Yizhi had time to think about it, a tall figure caught his eye.
Look sideways.
Pei Yanhe's noble face was expressionless as usual, except for his pair of cold black eyes, which showed a hint of indifference as he walked towards her.
This time, Shen Yizhi had no intention of hiding or escaping.
She stared at him as he walked up to her.
Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes, "Let's talk?"
