Chapter 28
Shen Yizhi suppressed the discomfort, his eyelashes trembled, he closed his eyes lightly, and his fingertips unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes.
Pei Yanhe noticed her overly tense nerves and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"No," Shen Yizhi urged calmly, "apply it quickly."
A minute later, after applying the medicine, Pei Yanhe slowly wiped off the remaining ointment on his fingertips with a tissue.
Shen Yizhi watched his movements, and suddenly some paints floated through her mind. She felt her cheeks getting hot inexplicably. She turned her eyes away, fanned her face with her hands, and asked as if nothing had happened.
"When will this mark of mine be gone?"
Pei Yanhe threw the tissue into the trash can, his fingertips were rubbed a thin layer of red, and he replied slowly.
"About two days."
Have to apply it twice more.
Shen Yizhi counted silently in his heart, not daring to look at Pei Yanhe's movements at all, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
She couldn't stand the heat, so she stood up to get the air conditioner remote control and pressed the buttons frantically without caring about anything.
"16 degrees, it's already the lowest." Pei Yanhe looked at her leisurely and reminded her.
Shen Yizhi glanced at the numbers on the monitor and muttered softly, “Then why do I still feel hot?”
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, but in the space between the two of them, it still floated accurately into his ears.
Pei Yanhe lowered his eyes and said, "Come sit here, I'll help you."
He was the one who caused her to get hot, so of course he had to solve it.
Shen Yizhi didn't refuse and sat down next to him again, straightening his back and exhaling warm air.
The clothes sticking to my back were suddenly lifted away. I could feel Pei Yanhe's action. A stream of cool air came in and was extinguished again.
“Please mention it for a while, I haven’t blown enough.” Shen Yizhi said with a clear conscience.
Pei Yanhe stared at the beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks and said in a hoarse voice, "You'll catch a cold if you keep blowing."
Shen Yizhi has never been afraid of these things, “Hurry up.”
"No." Pei Yanhe's tone did not allow for argument.
When Shen Yizhi gets sick, her condition is much more serious than that of ordinary people. She is also a delicate person and she whines non-stop when she catches a cold.
She is not like other people who, when they are sick and need to rest, would look for someone to make trouble and keep them company all night.
Usually this person must be Pei Yanhe.
Shen Yizhi wanted to argue with him for a few more words when the phone rang beside him.
She picked up the phone and saw that it was a video call from Ms. Tan Huiya.
Shen Yizhi threw it directly into Pei Yanhe's arms like throwing a bomb, and raised her chin slightly to indicate, "My mother's call, you answer it."
Afraid that Pei Yanhe would not agree, she pointed to the ointment on her neck and said at the end: "Apply the ointment, they can't find out."
"Don't let the wind blow." Pei Yanhe would rather miss it than let go of any opportunity to threaten her.
"Okay, okay, okay." Shen Yizhi agreed quickly.
Pei Yanhe then picked up the phone and answered the call. The screen showed a well-maintained, gentle and virtuous face.
"Yan He, why did you answer the phone? Were you with Zhi Zhi?"
Pei Yanhe held up his phone and said calmly, "Yes, she's eating fruit, so it's inconvenient."
“…”
Shen Yizhi was quite dissatisfied with this excuse, and silently mouthed to him: Why didn't you say I was not there?
Pei Yanhe pretended not to see anything and listened carefully to Tan Huiya's words.
"Have you two had dinner yet?"
"have eaten."
Tan Huiya smiled, "That's fine. Yanhe, point the camera at Zhizhi. I need to tell her something."
Pei Yanhe glanced at the girl beside him who was shaking her head and waving her hands with a look of resistance, and said without blushing or beating her heart.
"She ate watermelon and her face was covered in juice. She said it was inconvenient."
Shen Yizhi: “…” This guy’s ability to speak without hesitation is really getting more and more powerful.
A deep and solemn male voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the phone.
"When did she become so demanding? Yan He, tell me the truth, did she bully you again?!"
Shen Dongliang's majestic face appeared on the screen, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, "I'm here to support you. Whatever happens, just tell me!"
Pei Yanhe's cold eyebrows curved slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips. "No."
Shen Dongliang didn't believe it, "Is that girl threatening you off-screen?!"
"Dad!" Shen Yizhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "When did I bully him? Don't talk nonsense!"
Shen Dongliang: "I'm asking Yan He, don't make a sound."
Shen Yizhi: “…” Who is the biological child?
Pei Yanhe gave her an inexplicable look from the corner of his eyes, and then he said to Uncle Shen slowly: "No, Uncle Shen, she has been very well behaved recently."
Shen Yizhi inexplicably sensed a hint of "taking advantage of the power of others" in his eyes. He couldn't stand his behavior and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Dad, what do you want to tell me?"
Tan Huiya said, "Your second uncle is going on a business trip in a couple of days, and there's no one to take care of Chen Heng. He might come to our house to play for a couple of days, so you can help take care of him."
Chen Heng is Shen Yizhi's cousin, and he is only in the fourth grade of primary school. The most important thing is that his second uncle had a son in his old age, and he usually spoiled him and was reluctant to beat or scold him, which made the child very naughty.
However, the person Shen Heng hated the most was Shen Yizhi, but the person he admired the most was Pei Yanhe.
She didn't respond for a moment, and turned her head to look at Pei Yanhe, "Chen Heng is your follower, you take care of him."
Pei Yanhe knew to push this tough job to him, but he refused without hesitation: "It's your task, not mine."
As expected, he refused.
Shen Yizhi gritted his teeth and said, "Koenigsegg Agere, is it a deal?"
Pei Yanhe has the habit of collecting sports cars, and he is the most extravagant. If he drives one out of his private garage and onto the street, it will cause a commotion.
"I'm sorry," Pei Yanhe said slowly, "I already have one."
Shen Yizhi: “…”
The couple, who were far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, heard this familiar and bickering conversation, looked at each other for three seconds, and understood each other.
Shen Dongliang cleared his throat and said, "Okay, stop making excuses. You can't get away with this."
As if afraid that Shen Yizhi would make conditions, he hurriedly continued.
"Your mother and I won't be back home for another month. Don't bully Yan He these days."
Tan Huiya added, "Don't forget to eat, both of you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for the two to respond.
Shen Yizhi was used to her parents enjoying their own time together, and she understood that they rarely had time for a honeymoon, so she didn't say much.
She took back her phone, recalled the scene just now, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a knife in her eyes: "Pei Yanhe, you didn't complain to my parents often before, did you?"
Pei Yanhe glanced at her calmly and said, "I'm not that naive."
Shen Yizhi crossed his arms across his chest, “Then why did my dad suddenly say that I bullied you?”
Pei Yanhe said slowly: "Maybe because I'm your family's adopted husband, you're more partial to me."
“…”
Shen Yizhi said very calmly: "Pei Yanhe, you are so shameless."
Pei Yanhe curled his lips in response to her comment, and for once did not refute it, accepting it all.
