Chapter 77
"That's not what I meant." Shen Yizhi shrugged innocently.
That couldn't be better.
Pei Yanhe raised his lower eyebrow at her, looked at her and said, "First question, go ahead and answer it."
He really made her mad. Shen Yizhi didn't expect Pei Yanhe to have so many tempers, but there was nothing she could do. She really hadn't thought about breaking up with him.
What can I do? I can only spoil her.
She thought about the first question and answered patiently, "We grew up under their noses. We suddenly fell in love out of nowhere. I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it."
Saying they couldn't accept it was just a smokescreen, the main thing was -
"I feel... embarrassed." She looked away awkwardly.
Pei Yanhe frowned, "What's embarrassing?"
She could openly announce their relationship in front of her classmates, but was afraid to announce it in front of her family?
Shen Yizhi struggled to free herself from his grip with the back of her neck, but her legs ached from standing for so long, so she simply leaned against him limply, explaining earnestly, "Think about it, when we're in love, we hold hands, hug, kiss, and then go to sleep."
"Telling them would be like writing on our faces that we would do these things."
She can accept it among her peers, but she feels embarrassed in front of her family.
Pei Yanhe lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, "Just because of this?"
Although he seems to have a simple mind, he actually thinks a lot.
Even sleeping was included in her calculations.
His disdainful tone made Shen Yizhi's chest surge with anger. She looked up at him in his arms, "What do you mean just because of this?!"
Their breaths met, Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yizhi's pink lips that were puffed up with anger, and the soft flesh on both sides of her cheeks were also bulging, like a pufferfish that felt hurt and was protecting itself.
Almost instinctively, Pei Yanhe lowered his head and lightly touched her lips.
They were still arguing, Shen Yizhi covered her mouth and glared at him, “Why did you kiss me!”
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a few figures behind the wall in the distance. Pei Yanhe raised his eyebrows, tilted his chin slightly, and said meaningfully, "Now you don't have to worry about being embarrassed."
Just like that, Shen Yizhi covered her mouth, leaning in Pei Yanhe's arms like a bone, with a sweet expression that was nourished by love. She turned her head and looked into the eyes of countless other people from afar.
“…”
After just one glance, Shen Yizhi immediately pulled away from Pei Yanhe, stood there stiffly, and spoke almost through gritted teeth.
"Pei Shanshan, you saw them kissing me? Did you do it on purpose?!"
Pei Yanhe had an innocent expression on his face, as if he had been wrongly accused. Compared to her nervousness, he said calmly, "I only realized it after we kissed."
On the other side, behind the wall.
Grandpa Shen scratched his head, “Have we been discovered?”
Mr. Pei squinted his eyes, as if trying to see more clearly. "I don't know. I have presbyopia and can't see anything clearly in the middle of the night. What stage has this reached?"
"Okay, don't look at it, the two elders have already discovered it."
Chen Dongliang walked out from behind the wall and shouted towards the rockery, "How long are you going to stay there? Come in and eat!"
-
On the dining table.
The people who usually liven up the atmosphere now dare not raise their heads or speak a word.
Shen Yizhi was so focused on eating that she spent a long time chewing the empty rice.
Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared beside her and put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl.
Pei Yanhe said calmly: "Eat some food."
Shen Yizhi glanced at him, but didn't dare to confront him in front of so many eyes. He responded sullenly and ate the food he picked for him honestly.
Her cheeks were sore from chewing and her mouth was a little dry. She was about to pick up the glass on the side, but someone got there first.
She paused, looking embarrassed: "This is my water."
Pei Yanhe drank it slowly, letting the moisture flow down his throat and into his stomach before he said, "I know."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's attention was focused on him.
From the old to the young, every pair of eyes at the table was filled with gossip.
Shen Yizhi's face turned red as she rubbed it, and she was so hot that she almost couldn't breathe.
She had reasonable and sufficient reasons to suspect that Pei Yanhe did it on purpose!
Relying on his innocent words, Chen Heng deliberately said, "Sister, does Brother He like you because he drinks your water?"
At the same time, Grandpa Shen, Mr. Pei, and Ms. Tan Huiya put down their chopsticks and looked at her in unison.
Chen Dongliang, on the other hand, lowered his head and ate his meal with a calm expression, showing an indifferent attitude towards the outside world.
Even Pei Yanhe, who was half a party involved, turned his head and looked at her lazily, as if waiting for her to speak and give an answer that would satisfy him.
“…”
Facing many pairs of eyes, Shen Yizhi pursed his lips and considered his words, "Um... I have something I want to tell everyone."
"you say!"
Four mouths spoke in unison.
Shen Yizhi: “…”
"Actually, Pei Yanhe and I are..." Chen Yizhi closed his eyes, made up his mind, and spoke quickly: "In love!"
After a while, the air fell into silence.
Shen Yizhi didn't dare to look at everyone's expressions at all. After watching for a long time without any movement, she opened her eyes nervously.
I saw that everyone was not surprised or astonished, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief and said something.
"finally!"
Mr. Pei was a sentimental person. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "God knows how long I have been waiting for this day!"
Grandpa Shen patted him on the back and said, "We can finally give an explanation to our ancestors in the afterlife."
Ms. Tan Huiya didn't know what she was thinking about. She turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
Shen Dongliang noticed that something was wrong with her mood, so he leaned over to the side and gently wiped away her tears with a piece of paper.
Chen Heng had an auntie's smile on her face, and she couldn't hide the satisfied look in He Ge's eyes.
“…”
No matter how much I planned, I never expected this would be the scene after it was made public.
Shen Yizhi swallowed his saliva and asked in confusion: “Are you satisfied or not? Why are you all crying?”
"Satisfied, of course I am!" Old Master Pei said, "It's more important than anything else for you two to live a good life!"
Grandpa Shen suddenly looked serious and asked, "When did you talk about it? Why are you willing to talk about it now?"
When this was mentioned, Shen Yizhi glanced to his side.
Pei Yanhe naturally understood and said calmly: "We just started dating not long ago. I originally planned to tell everyone after things settled down, but something unexpected happened."
They discovered it in advance.
It was also due to his coercion and inducement that the current disclosure was made truly public.
-
After a satisfying meal for both of them.
Shen Yizhi accompanied Ms. Tan Huiya in the flower room to water and fiddle with the flowers.
The mother and daughter chatted idly.
Pei Yanhe stood on the balcony on the second floor and watched quietly. The thick night seemed to be obscuring his figure.
Shen Dongliang suddenly walked closer, stood beside him, looked in the direction of his sight, and was silent for a while before speaking.
“Xiao He, do you have time to talk to Uncle Shen?”
