Chapter 66
Just a few simple words, but they are truly thought-provoking.
Although he was standing, Shen Yizhi seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, sinking down little by little until his chest was submerged. The air became thin and finally swallowed up his breath.
She closed her eyes, as if to clear her thoughts or to wake herself up.
When she opened her eyes again, she said, "You said you didn't like me."
Pei Yanhe frowned, "When?"
Sometimes uncovering one secret means exposing another shameful secret.
Shen Yizhi sighed deeply, and suddenly said vaguely: "That time... a girl confessed her love to you in the back mountain."
If she went into too much detail, she might expose her eavesdropping, so she cut her losses in time, "You said it yourself at that time."
Pei Yanhe heard the clue and asked, "Are you eavesdropping?"
"No!" Shen Yizhi said sternly, as if it was a serious matter: "I went to find you, and it accidentally reached my ears."
Pei Yanhe smiled and explained, "At that time, I didn't know that I fell in love with you."
Adolescence is a time of ignorance and naivety about love, and he is unaware that his heart is moved.
Shen Yizhi crossed his arms over his chest, suddenly curious, and asked, "Then when did you know?"
Pei Yanhe's face darkened unconsciously, and he said the fact very reluctantly, "When you were chasing him."
Shen Yizhi asked uncertainly, "Is this 'he' referring to He Qingyu?"
Pei Yanhe: “Yeah.”
Since he was a child, he took it for granted that Shen Yizhi was his. Regardless of the love between men and women, as long as they could be together for the rest of their lives, it would be fine.
But she was seen walking away from him, following another person.
He panicked.
I am also sure that I like Shen Yizhi.
I've liked it for many years.
If you have to be more absolute, then he was destined to like her from birth.
Loving Chen Yizhi is Pei Yanhe's innate talent.
"oh."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Shen Yizhi suddenly became shy and his tone became uncomfortable. “Then…is your hand okay?”
She felt pain just looking at that punch.
Pei Yanhe pulled the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it a little too late to ask now?"
Shen Yizhi pouted, still unwilling to admit defeat, “Then I slapped him, my hand still hurts.”
Even this is like comparing children playing house.
Pei Yanhe patted the empty seat beside him and raised his chin slightly, "Come sit here."
Shen Yizhi took small steps to sit next to him and naturally extended his hand.
Pei Yanhe pinched the joint of her wrist.
Not too light, not too heavy, just the right amount of strength. Shen Yizhi gave him a thumbs-up with his other hand and praised: "Master Pei, your craftsmanship is excellent!"
"Don't move."
Pei Yanhe placed his fingertips on her face, clamped on her jaw, and roughly straightened her face, staring at her lips without any concealment.
Shen Yizhi dared not move, the force of her jaw caused her lips to open slightly, her rosy lips like a juicy peach, but the scab scar on her lower lip was faintly visible.
She didn't know what he was doing, and her eyes had nowhere to go, falling on his long eyelashes like crow feathers, his high nose bridge, and finally stopping at his slightly pursed thin lips.
"Pei Shanshan, you're so close, I want to kiss you again, what should I do?"
The thoughts in his mind blurted out unconsciously. After Shen Yizhi realized it, he didn't feel embarrassed. He blinked his innocent and clear eyes and looked at him.
At that moment, Pei Yanhe felt as if he was deliberately seducing her.
He took his fingertips away from her jaw and pinched her wrist from time to time, with the corner of his lips raised in a smile.
"The wound on your mouth hasn't healed yet, and you're already thinking about kissing me?"
Shen Yizhi bit her lower lip. When her teeth were about to touch the wound, Pei Yanhe's knuckles were directly stuck between her teeth. "Don't bite."
She belatedly loosened her lower lip.
When Pei Yanhe pulled his fingers away, the tips of his fingers were still wet, which was her saliva.
Shen Yizhi was completely unaware of his strange behavior and was intent on complaining, "You bit me! Pei, little dog!"
Pei Yanhe said slowly, "Who told me to bite it back?"
Shen Yizhi fell silent, listening to him continue to finish the attack.
"Who said anything about lip friendship?"
"Chen Yizhi." Pei Yanhe narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of danger. "You can even say the word lip friendship. You really have learned a lot by going abroad."
She was most afraid of him calling her by her full name.
Shen Yizhi stepped back a few steps and said confidently: "But we are too familiar with each other, and it is really meaningless to fall in love."
"Then let's get married." He said without hesitation.
Shen Yizhi was startled, even her breathing became irregular, and she even forgot how to blink. After a while, she half-jokingly said, "That doesn't sound like something you would say."
No good person would think about getting married before even starting a relationship.
Pei Yanhe didn't say anything for a while, but his eyes were always fixed on her, without any intention of joking.
Shen Yizhi's scalp tingled from being stared at. In the spacious room with only the two of them, the air seemed to be getting thinner.
A layer of cold sweat suddenly rose on her back. "I think you need to calm down now."
Shen Yizhi stood up and planned to escape from the room, but forgot that her wrist was still in someone's shackles.
He pulled her back again.
Pei Yanhe's palm was like a pain-relieving plaster covering her wrist, warm and irresistible.
His voice was still low and magnetic, but now it was serious.
"It's not a joke, try it with me?"
After a long pause, he added, "It's okay to fall in love."
Meeting his gloomy gaze, Shen Yizhi opened and closed her lips several times, but it felt like there was a hard object stuck in her throat, and she still didn't know how to speak.
The only sound in the air was the chaotic heartbeat, which kept coming back without any reason.
Shen Yizhi lowered his eyes and said, "I'll give you an answer in two days."
Pei Yanhe unconsciously clenched his palms and said threateningly, "Don't hide from me anymore."
Before Chen Yizhi could answer, the door was suddenly pushed open.
She turned her head, was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook off Pei Yanhe's hand, as if she wanted to be eight hundred meters away from him. She stood up straight, calmly kept some distance from him, and frowned.
"Uncle Pei."
Pei Qingnian is still tall and straight in his middle age, with deep and steady eyes, exuding a firm and calm aura that makes people admire him involuntarily.
His eyes lightly passed over the moment his son held the girl's wrist for a second, and he heard Shen Yizhi's sweet call.
He returned to his usual expression, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Zhizhi."
Behind him, Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes and looked at his empty palm. His fingertips clenched unconsciously and he couldn't help laughing.
Shen Yizhi walked to Pei Qingnian's side and looked up at him, "Uncle Pei, I have been back for so long and I haven't seen you come to see me. You didn't even give me a homecoming gift."
She pretended to be angry: "Did you forget about Zhizhi?"
Pei Qingnian laughed, "How could that be? Uncle Pei has been very busy these days, I'll have someone prepare it for you later."
Hearing this, Shen Yizhi's eyes flashed with cunning, and he suddenly changed the subject: "No need for gifts, it's just that today's incident was caused by me."
"Uncle Pei, please don't make things difficult for Pei Shanshan for my sake, okay?"
