Chapter 32
Pei Zhi didn't give an answer for a long time.
Is there anyone you like among the people present?
This question is not difficult to answer. From a game perspective, Su Nan didn't seem to make it difficult for Pei Zhi. Many larger and more passionate questions have been asked before. This broad question is no different from whether you have eaten today.
Even if Pei Zhi really has someone he likes but lies and says he doesn't, no one will doubt the truth of the answer. After all, only he knows the real answer.
Pei Zhi's silence now seems a bit strange. Although he didn't give any answer, his silence is equivalent to an answer.
If there is no one Pei Zhi likes among the people present, he can just say no. Even if there is but he doesn't want to admit it, he can just say no.
The answer was obvious.
Among the people present, there was someone Pei Zhi liked.
Everyone looked surprised and incredulous, looking at Pei Zhi's gloomy and deep face, wanting to gossip but not daring to, and their faces turned red.
Su Nan saw Xie Ning coming over here, and he added fuel to the fire: "Why don't you say anything?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Pei Zhi's voice was cold, and his eyes looking at Su Nan were extremely cold.
Pei Zhi suddenly stood up and picked up a bottle of unopened wine in front of Su Nan.
The tight muscle lines were unusually obvious as he raised his hand. The veins on the back of his hands bulged out like unbearable emotions. Under the dim light, Pei Zhi looked like a vicious dog that would pounce and tear someone to pieces at any time.
Su Nan's face turned pale. Was Pei Zhi crazy? He actually wanted to attack him in front of so many people!
He hurriedly took two steps back, but he didn't expect Pei Zhi to open the bottle with one hand, then tilt his head back and take a big gulp of wine.
His Adam's apple kept rolling as he swallowed, and the golden wine seeped out from the corners of his lips and slid across his protruding Adam's apple.
Pei Zhi would rather drink alcohol than lie.
The smell of alcohol filled the air, and the sound of footsteps that were gradually approaching stopped in the sound of ambiguous and leisurely music.
Pei Zhi finished drinking most of the bottle and threw it at Su Nan's feet, making a terrifying cracking sound.
He ignored the surprised or frightened looks from the people around him and wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his hand. He looked down at Su Nan, as if he was looking at an ant that could be easily crushed to death.
"Do you deserve to know?"
Vicious and arrogant, contemptuous and arrogant, it looked particularly sexy on this handsome and cold face.
Su Nan's pale face turned red with shame, and the eyes from all around him made him feel hot. He was very concerned about his face, otherwise he would not have hated Pei Zhi for so long.
Pei Zhi said in front of so many people that he didn't deserve it, but he couldn't say a word to refute it. He was indeed frightened by Pei Zhi just now. He believed that if Xie Ning had not been there, Pei Zhi would really kill him.
No one dared to speak.
No one dared to continue to mention the matter of playing games. The atmosphere that had finally become lively fell to freezing point.
When Xie Ning stopped, Pei Zhi had already completed the punishment of drinking.
The loser of the game can choose not to cooperate, but he must drink a glass of strong foreign liquor. Pei Zhi's punishment obviously exceeded the agreed content, but despite this, his expression still looked very calm, and he was not disturbed by the alcohol at all.
Seeing Xie Ning, Pei Zhi's face changed immediately. He had a fierce and fierce look just now, but his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became soft.
He made room for Xie Ning to sit inside him. The box was hot, so he considerately helped Xie Ning untie her scarf and put it on her legs.
"Is it very cold outside?"
"Not bad."
Pei Zhi gently touched Xie Ning's forehead with the back of his hand, which was icy cold.
He took an empty cup, wiped it repeatedly, poured warm water into it, and confirmed the temperature with the palm, back of his hand and wrist several times before handing it to Xie Ning's lips, as if he wanted to feed Xie Ning with his own hands.
Compared with Pei Zhi, who was full of anger and did not hide his bad temper just now, he is now like a lackey.
Xie Ning sat in his seat. He thought Pei Zhi was in a bad mood, but now it seems that Pei Zhi's mood seems to be better than he imagined?
He took a sip of water and asked, "Do you want to drink some too?"
Xie Ning eased the atmosphere and broke the silence.
Pei Zhi: "Okay."
He drank the remaining half cup of water from Xie Ning.
Xie Ning: "..."
He meant to let Pei Zhi pour another cup instead of drinking his water.
But since he had already drunk it, forget it.
The onlookers were stunned.
Doesn't Pei Zhi... never use things that others have used? Pei Zhi
has a strong sense of territory and never shares items with others. During training, many people would borrow protective gear from each other or drink from the same cup of water, but he can't. If someone accidentally uses his things, he will throw them away directly.
Therefore, many people think that he is not sociable and difficult to get along with.
For Pei Zhi, what is his is his, and he does not allow anyone to touch it.
Xie Ning and Pei Zhi left very quickly. What just happened, if Pei Zhi continued to be there, the atmosphere would not be lively, so it would be better to leave early.
It didn't matter whether Xie Ning left or not, he didn't like such occasions anyway. Pei Zhi was eager to leave early. Xie Ning's daily routine was to go to bed early and get up early, so she should go back to bed early.
They had a simple dinner and supper at the hotel. On the way back, Pei Zhi was much calmer. He didn't stick to Xie Ning like usual, and he didn't ask for holding hands or hugging.
But Xie Ning could still feel Pei Zhi's eyes always falling on him.
[I really want to hold hands... but I can't, I have to hold back.]
[Hold on, hold on. Xie
Ning was surprised.
Not long ago, Pei Zhi said he wanted to sleep in his arms and hold hands. As soon as he went to the bathroom, Pei Zhi followed him, just to hug him. Pei Zhi said he would hold back?
Could it be that he really changed so much because he had someone he liked?
Xie Ning heard it very clearly just now, and roughly guessed that among the people present, there might be someone Pei Zhi likes. He rarely has curious thoughts, but now he is a little curious, is there really such a person? Who is this person?
But curiosity aside, he still has a sense of propriety, as he is not the person involved. If Pei Zhi doesn't say, he won't ask.
This is Pei Zhi's privacy.
...
After dinner, they took a walk for a while, and after returning to the room, Pei Zhi took a shower first, followed by Xie Ning.
The sound of water came from the bathroom. Pei Zhi put his arms behind his head, looked at the ceiling, and looked absent-minded. I don't know what he was thinking about.
The sound of water stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that Pei Zhi could clearly hear the faint rustling of Xie Ning's clothes when she was getting dressed.
His distraction became more and more serious. When he heard the faint sound of the closet door opening, he came back to his senses and swiftly got out of bed.
Xie Ning had just finished taking a shower, and his thin figure looked particularly slender in the diffuse mist.
His skin was steamed into an alluring peach pink by the hot water, and his lips and eyes were very red. Because he was not far away, Pei Zhi could still smell the fragrance coming from him.
Xie Ning was wiping her hair with a towel, and the movement of her arms raised the hem of her pajamas a little higher, and her waist, which was so slender that it could not be grasped with one hand, was vaguely visible.
"I'll help you blow dry your hair." Pei Zhi came over. He was very tall. He stood behind Xie Ning. He raised his arm lightly and took the hair dryer.
Xie Ning responded. He really didn't like blow-drying his hair.
In the hazy mirror, he was blocked by Pei Zhi at the sink. The huge difference in size and height made him feel like he was trapped.
Xie Ning lowered his head slightly and looked at his phone, replying to the message that he hadn't finished replying. His instructor asked him to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon. The college was going to hold a competition. The instructor hoped that he could be a judge. The meeting was to discuss the specific details of the competition.
Xie Ning replied with a "received" and switched to the chat session box. Xie Yan sent him several flights and asked him to choose a time slot.
"Are you going abroad to play?" Pei Zhi behind him suddenly said, "Sorry, I didn't see it on purpose, I just did it accidentally."
With Pei Zhi's height, it's easy for him to see something. Xie Ning said, "Yes. My mother asked me to go back for Christmas."
Although Xie Yan wanted to invite Pei Zhi to spend Christmas at home, Xie Ning didn't plan to do so. In his opinion, this behavior was a bit presumptuous. If it was just a trip out of the city or province, it would be fine, but this is going abroad.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Ning still asked, "Do you want to join us?"
[So soon? ]
[Are you going to meet the parents so soon? ]
[I'm not mentally prepared yet... Do I need to prepare some gifts? What should I bring to meet the parents? I can't let my uncle and aunt think that I'm an impolite person...】
"Me?" Pei Zhi's expression suddenly tensed, "I..."
Xie Ning suddenly snorted.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, did I hurt you?" Pei Zhi put down the hair dryer in a hurry, bent down, and held Xie Ning's face.
"No, it's not hot." The wind from the hair dryer was not hot, it was Pei Zhi's fingers that were a little forceful when they passed through the hair, and his scalp was rubbed.
Pei Zhi was still worried.
He picked up Xie Ning and put her on the sink. The light was dim and hazy, and Xie Ning's skin had a delicate luster.
Xie Ning sat on the washbasin. Pei Zhi used his legs to push his knees apart. His knees naturally spread apart. His hands helplessly rested on both sides of his body, and he looked up at Pei Zhi.
His cold and delicate face showed no emotion, but was too charming.
Pei Zhi's heartbeat quickened. He reached out and carefully pushed Xie Ning's hair aside: "Let me see."
Pei Zhi's movements were cautious and he looked very carefully, as if Xie Ning had been particularly seriously injured. Pei Zhi's making a fuss made Xie Ning helpless: "I'm really fine."
"No redness, no wounds." Pei Zhi said to himself, "It shouldn't be serious."
Although he confirmed that there was no burn, Pei Zhi still felt very guilty. He actually made such a low-level mistake. There was a small area on his scalp that was obviously different from the surrounding area, and the color was slightly pink.
His eyes deepened, and he stroked it gently with his fingers, then lowered his head and blew gently, taking good care of her, as if Xie Ning was a fragile treasure.
Xie Ning: "It's really not that serious, I'm not that fragile."
Pei Zhi blew, and said: "Yeah."
[You have. Xie Ning
found that many of the things he thought were trivial, as long as they were related to him, were very important in Pei Zhi's eyes and could not be taken lightly.
"Okay, stop blowing." Xie Ning turned his head slightly. This kind of skin contact was... very itchy, and it also made him feel a little strangely comfortable. He said, "Is my hair dry?"
"Almost." Pei Zhi said, "There's still a little at the end of my hair, I'll blow it again."
Xie Ning said "OK", he didn't continue talking about Christmas. In his opinion, if he said it once and the other party didn't respond, it was equivalent to a disguised rejection.
He wouldn't say it a second time.
Just when Xie Ning thought that the topic had passed, Pei Zhi stroked Xie Ning's hair and said, "When are we going? I'll buy the ticket now."
Xie Ning was stunned. He thought Pei Zhi didn't want to go. He said, "No, my mother will buy it. You can just send me some information. Do you have a visa for Country A?"
"Yes." Pei Zhi answered quickly, and he added, "Even if you don't have it, I will get it quickly and spend Christmas with you."
Obviously, that's not the case.
Pei Zhi said this, as if they were going abroad specifically to spend Christmas, like a date.
Xie Ning curled the corners of her lips: "Maybe it won't be that fast." It
is more difficult to get a visa for Country A, and the waiting time is also longer. Pei Zhi said, "I have my own way."
[I go wherever my wife goes.]
[I am my wife's follower.]
Xie Ning raised his head slightly and teased, "Is Pei Shao so powerful?"
Xie Ning rarely used such a teasing tone. His voice was clear and cold, but now it had a lazy and teasing tone.
In the house that seemed to be blizzard-like, he was sitting on a recliner beside the burning fireplace, wearing a velvet blanket, and gently
He waved to Pei Zhi tenderly. The
hair dryer was put back to its original place, Xie Ning's waist was tightened, and he was almost carried to the bed.
As soon as he landed on the bed, a dark shadow followed closely. Pei Zhi leaned on him, and his dark and deep eyes seemed to fall on him with warmth.
Pei Zhi and Xie Ning looked at each other for a moment. Xie Ning's eyes were too clean, and Pei Zhi was the first to give in to her attitude of scrutiny.
He lowered his head and buried his face in Xie Ning's neck, revealing a part of his red ears.
Pei Zhi, who just said that he would resist getting close to Xie Ning, started again.
Soft and delicate skin, a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of the nose. Pei Zhi endured a whole day of restlessness, like the uncertain surface of a lake during the rainy season, but in just this moment, all his emotions were smoothed out, and he became satisfied and intoxicated.
Pei Zhi spit on himself. Could he really not help it? Knowing that he liked Xie Ning, how could she be so recklessly close to her.
But what else could he do.
He really couldn't control himself. He couldn't control himself from getting close to Xie Ning, as if he had given his true heart to her without even realizing it.
Pei Zhi thought, maybe he really had skin hunger.
Skin hunger only for Xie Ning.
This clingy Pei Zhi seemed to be the Pei Zhi in his memory. Xie Ning did not react much, but he could feel that Pei Zhi's behavior was somewhat restrained, not as vigorous as before.
As if he was suppressing his instinct?
Pei Zhi used to rub his neck, but now he rubbed his hair. The hairstyle that Pei Zhi had just carefully groomed was messed up by the rubbing, and there were still a few strands of hair on the top of his head fluttering in disarray.
Xie Ning could not hide, so she could only attract Pei Zhi's attention: "My phone seems to be still in the bathroom? Can you get it for me?"
Pei Zhi paused, he supported himself with his hands and raised his body, his dark pupils reflected a slightly pink face.
Xie Ning raised her hand and gently stroked Pei Zhi's cheek: "Okay?"
Pei Zhi lowered his straight eyelashes, and his deep and sharp eyebrows showed a satisfied and contented feeling.
He said "hmm", clasped Xie Ning's wrist with his big hand, and his black hair was scattered in front of his forehead. He lowered his head and rubbed Xie Ning's palm with his tall nose: "Wait for me."
Xie Ning's mobile phone was squeezed in the corner of the sink. Pei Zhi could see it as soon as he entered the bathroom. Xie Ning's mobile phone screen lit up with a green app logo.
Someone sent Xie Ning many WeChat messages in a row.
The tip of his eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and Pei Zhi was inexplicably a little irritated and unhappy. Who sent a message to Xie Ning in the middle of the night? Does he have any sense of propriety?
Don't you know if this will disturb Xie Ning's rest?
If it's Xie Ning's relatives, then just pretend he didn't say it.
When Xie Ning took the phone, the screen automatically unlocked the face recognition function, but his fingers didn't notice and clicked on a voice message.
"Xie Ning, I will really treat you well..." Xie Ning and Pei Zhi were stunned by the familiar voice. He hurriedly exited WeChat, and then Pei Zhi came up again.
Xie Ning was gently pushed and pressed back to her original position. Pei Zhi leaned on him: "Are you still in contact?"
The person Pei Zhi was talking about was Shen Ye. He could recognize this voice as soon as he heard it, and there was also that dog-licking tone. Who else could it be except Shen Ye?
Before Xie Ning could say anything, Pei Zhi couldn't restrain himself from spreading malice: "Does he have nothing to do at night? Is this the quality a college student should have to send messages to harass you?"
"No." Xie Ning said, "No contact."
What was even stranger to him was... his long eyelashes raised uncertainly, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Pei Zhi rarely got angry around Xie Ning. Although Pei Zhi had a face that was always irritable and indifferent, Xie Ning knew that Pei Zhi rarely got angry. Most of the time, his appearance was just a protective shell for Pei Zhi who didn't want to socialize.
Just now was the first time that he felt that Pei Zhi was angry, and it was also the first time that he heard Pei Zhi say "bad words" about others.
Pei Zhi's expression froze slightly. He didn't want Xie Ning to think that he was a petty person. He was indeed not angry, he was just upset with Shen Ye.
"I'm not angry." Pei Zhi said, "I just think that he disturbed your sleep. And you clearly rejected him, so it's wrong for him to continue to pester you."
"The moment you rejected him, he should have stopped pestering you instead of pestering you."
Xie Ning agreed with this statement: "Pestering is really a headache."
Xie Ning unlocked his phone and set up a message do not disturb for Shen Ye. He hesitated whether to delete the friend, but the two had worked together before, and it didn't seem to be to the point of deleting friends.
In the end, he just set up a message do not disturb.
Pei Zhi's expression became visibly happy.
Seeing the sleepiness between Xie Ning's eyebrows, he turned off the light: "Go to bed early and stop looking at your phone."
Xie Ning didn't intend to look at his phone. He put his phone on the bedside table. After lying down on the bed, he saw Pei Zhi sleeping in a corner of the bed, very far away from him.
Obviously it was intentional.
Pei Zhi, who had repeatedly emphasized a few hours ago that he wanted to hug each other to sleep at night, now drew a line between the two. Pei Zhi lay on the side of the bed with his arms folded, leaving Xie Ning a lot of room to roll around.
"Why don't you come over to sleep?" Xie Ning was puzzled, "Don't you want to hug me when you sleep?"
[You can't hug your wife casually. ]
[But I really want to hug my wife... What should I do, I'm so tangled. Pei Zhi
struggled for only three seconds. He turned over and neatly wrapped Xie Ning in the quilt, then hugged Xie Ning through the quilt.
He sighed with satisfaction.
Xie Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What's the difference between hugging through the quilt and hugging directly?
Is it possible that with the addition of a layer of quilt, it's not him that is being hugged, but the quilt?
Sometimes he really couldn't understand Pei Zhi's thoughts.
Xie Ning didn't understand Pei Zhi's entanglement. What he didn't know was that this was the best solution Pei Zhi could come up with.
With a layer of quilt between them, no matter how soft the quilt was, it couldn't compare to Xie Ning.
In the darkness, Pei Zhi held Xie Ning wrapped in a quilt, listening to her even breathing, imagining how she would feel without the quilt, how soft, boneless, petite and thin she would be, and how she could be easily held in his arms.
She is very soft when hugged and smells very good. Moreover, Xie Ning has a very good sleeping posture. After falling asleep, she would always rub his chest unconsciously with her rosy cheeks.
No, stop, I can't think about it anymore.
"Xie Ning." Pei Zhi suddenly asked softly, "What kind of person do you like?"
He asked again, "Will you fall in love?"
Xie Ning was actually a little sleepy. He yawned slowly: "I don't have this plan for the time being. As for the person I like... I don't know either. Maybe I will know after I meet him."
Pei Zhi was happy and unhappy.
He was happy that he didn't have a strong rival in love for the time being, but he was disappointed that he was not the person Xie Ning liked.
Xie Ning asked: "What about you?"
"Me?" Pei Zhi said.
"Don't you have a girl you like?" Xie Ning said, "I thought that's what you meant."
In the game, Pei Zhi would rather punish him with drinking than give an answer. Xie Ning thought Pei Zhi might have a crush on someone present, but was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he acted like this.
Could he have guessed wrong?
"I don't have a girl I like." Pei Zhi said.
But there is a boy I like, and he is in my arms. Pei Zhi quietly added in his heart, his heart beating like a drum.
Xie Ning: "Okay, then I guessed wrong."
"Go to sleep, good night, no more chatting." Xie Ning was so sleepy that she rested her forehead on Pei Zhi's chin, her voice unclear, "I'm really sleepy."
The touch of warm skin and small body areas caused a huge wave of excitement in Pei Zhi. His heartbeat was alarmingly fast, and his body temperature rose in the blink of an eye. He was tense all over and dared not breathe.
After a long while, he softly responded: "Good night."
In fact, Pei Zhi was not used to going to bed early. He was a night owl. The magical thing was that as long as Xie Ning was by his side and in his arms, his daily routine would change accordingly.
Pei Zhi tightened his arms, wanting to hug Xie Ning tighter, so that the distance between them would be closer.
But no matter what he did, there was always a layer of quilt blocking them, like a river between them, either Pei Zhi got in, or Xie Ning got out.
Maybe it was because Pei Zhi hugged too tightly, Xie Ning's face showed a hint of discomfort, his cheeks were flushed, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, his tightly closed lips parted slightly, and a moan escaped.
The sweet and soft hum made Pei Zhi freeze there instantly, his body temperature was hot, and his consciousness was burning.
"You..." Pei Zhi paused for a moment, and chose to ask softly, "Are you asleep?"
There was no response.
Xie Ning should be asleep. He always sleeps very well and sleeps very soundly. No one except Pei Zhi has probably seen this.
To him, Pei Zhi seems to be unique.
As soon as this thought came into his mind, Pei Zhi felt an unprecedented sense of excitement, but soon, he was like a punctured balloon, with a gloomy and irritable expression.
Not long ago, someone confessed to Xie Ning.
He knew that there were many people who liked Xie Ning, but just imagining that Xie Ning might be with someone else, he couldn't help but develop dark emotions.
Pei Zhi imagined many possibilities, trying to drive away these potential rivals. He was like an evil dragon that was afraid of its treasure being stolen. He was highly alert and vigilant to anyone who appeared around Xie Ning.
"Xie Ning..." Pei Zhi finally couldn't help it. He buried his face in Xie Ning's neck. The warm skin, slender neck, and familiar breath made him extremely fascinated.
The blood was boiling at this moment. Even though Pei Zhi was holding Xie Ning, he still felt extremely uneasy. He could only rub Xie Ning again and again, trying to leave his own smell on Xie Ning.
Just like an animal marking its mate.
Pei Zhi hugged her very tightly, with a strength that wanted to merge the two into one. He thought viciously that it would be great if Xie Ning could eat him. In this way, he will be with Xie Ning forever and live in Xie Ning's body.
The only bad thing is that he can't hug Xie Ning then.
There must be another way.
Xie Ning's body was getting hotter and hotter, not only because of the quilt, but also because of Pei Zhi's body temperature.
Her light pink cheeks turned red, a beautiful layer of pink appeared on the tip of her nose, and her light lips darkened. The air was filled with the smell from his body. Pei Zhi narrowed his eyes, and he was completely fascinated.
Anxiety and satisfaction go hand in hand, repeatedly torturing Pei Zhi's nerves.
Like a vicious dog, he sniffed the scent of Xie Ning repeatedly until he was sure that there was his scent on her body. The fragrance of Xie Ning slowly blended into another scent, like an alternative combination.
A morbid sense of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his handsome and deep face, and his expression was trance and a little abnormal.
Pei Zhi once again held Xie Ning in his arms, and clasped the back of Xie Ning's head with his big hand, repeating it over and over again.
Mine, mine...
mine.
