Chapter 9
Four o'clock...?
Pei Zhi really got up at four o'clock to bake? This is indeed a big contrast with Pei Zhi's cool appearance.
Xie Ning was surprised: "Thank you. Breakfast money..."
Pei Zhi seemed to guess what Xie Ning was going to say and interrupted him first: "When do you go to your studio? I've already taken a shower."
Xie Ning was very polite and distant to everyone. He knew that this breakfast was made by Pei Zhi himself, but Pei Zhi told him that he bought it, so he treated it as if he bought it. In this case, the breakfast money should be calculated.
But Pei Zhi didn't seem to want to calculate it so clearly.
Xie Ning's studio is not far from the apartment, so it is very convenient for Pei Zhi to drive there. During this journey, Xie Ning did not make eye contact with Pei Zhi, but she could always hear Pei Zhi's thoughts.
[My wife sitting in the passenger seat is so well-behaved, like a doll.]
[Her face is so small, suck her little cheeks.]
[Why does my wife smell so good? The whole car is filled with the smell of my wife. How can I concentrate on driving? Super.]
Pei Zhi concentrated on driving, and his indifferent appearance formed a sharp contrast with his active heart.
He secretly glanced at Xie Ning with the corner of his eye.
Xie Ning seemed to be a little hot, her skin was white, and any color would become very obvious, the seductive pink crawled down her neck into the collar, she sat upright, her temperament was cold, her slender and soft fingers were placed on the exquisite bag, and there was nothing that was not perfect.
[My wife's hands are so beautiful.]
[Super.]
[Lick my wife's fingers, suck on the fingertips, and kiss my wife's little hands.]
Xie Ning turned sideways and interrupted: "Pei Zhi."
The car was waiting for the red light, Pei Zhi was distracted, and was suddenly called, his cold face showed a little confusion: "Hmm?"
"Can I have breakfast in the car?" Xie Ning was too embarrassed, so she wanted to find something to do. He said, "If the smell is too strong, forget it."
Pei Zhi: "It doesn't smell that bad, you can eat it."
Xie Ning didn't have much appetite in the morning, and always ate hastily, mostly instant oatmeal or a simple piece of bread.
He opened the bag, which contained some baked bread and some small biscuits. The shapes were exquisite and cute, and it was obvious that a lot of thought was put into them.
Did Pei Zhi really get up at four in the morning to make breakfast...?
The sun shone on Xie Ning's face through the windshield. He lowered his eyelids thoughtfully, his light-colored lips slightly parted, and bit the bread in small bites. He
ate in a gentle and elegant manner, and you could vaguely see his snow-white teeth and small tongue.
It was a bit bitter to eat just bread, so Xie Ning opened the mouth of the can, slightly raised the tip of his chin, and tilted his head back to drink a sip of freshly ground soy milk. There was inevitably some residue around his lips, so he folded the tissue and pressed it to wipe.
His skin was delicate and fair, and the area around his lips was slightly pink, and even his light-colored lips were stained with some bright colors.
Pei Zhi suddenly had a very strange feeling.
Although it was ridiculous to think so, his first reaction was that Xie Ning also needed to eat.
Xie Ning usually didn't eat in the dormitory. At most, he would just make a cup of cereal in the morning to get by, and no one had ever seen him eat in the cafeteria.
In other people's words, Xie Ning was so perfect that he didn't look like a real person. He was very far away from everyone, and his cold expression without any emotion made him look like he had no worldly desires and needs. Including the desire for food.
And now, Xie Ning was eating breakfast in front of Pei Zhi in small bites. Because the bread was full of stuffing, sometimes some of the stuffing would leak out and fall on the collar or stick to the corners of the lips.
At this time, Xie Ning would frown slightly and seem a little unhappy.
Although his emotions were very dull, compared to his previous indifference, he now looked extremely lively and cute, which touched his heart.
The car behind honked to urge him, and Xie Ning slowly took a bite of the bread. Just as she was about to raise her eyes, she heard Pei Zhi's inner voice.
[So cute.]
Xie Ning was helpless. It seemed that the way to hear one's inner voice was not just by looking at each other.
In the case of eye contact, the possibility that Xie Ning can hear the inner voice is almost 100%. At other times, such as when the distance is close and the surroundings are quiet, it is possible to hear the inner voice. For example, now.
Xie Ning originally wanted to reduce eye contact with Pei Zhi to avoid prying into each other's heart. Now it seems that the only way to avoid it is not to meet with Pei Zhi.
Now they are roommates, and there is an additional layer of cooperation relationship. It is impossible not to meet.
The car stopped, and what came into view was a rectangular red building with a certain slope on the roof, surrounded by white fences and staggered green plants.
Like a completely closed private area.
The wooden revolving door opened intelligently. Pei Zhi was amazed by the building in front of him. He followed Xie Ning and walked in step by step. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the side made the space transparent and bright, and the natural scenery in the yard could be seen clearly.
Xie Ning: "This is the house I designed with my parents. It is also the adult gift they gave me."
Pei Zhi: "It's very beautiful."
He wanted to give a long speech of praise, but when the words fell to his lips, there were only three simple and plain words.
"This is one of the clothes. Try it first. The dressing room is over there." Xie Ning pushed the hanger over, "I'll go adjust the equipment."
This was Pei Zhi's first time to be a model for someone. He was nervous and uncomfortable.
He was afraid of damaging Xie Ning's clothes.
Pei Zhi struggled in the locker room for a long time. When he came out, his heart, which was beating violently due to nervousness, seemed to miss a beat when he looked at Xie Ning.
Xie Ning wore silver-rimmed glasses, a very ordinary white shirt and black pants, and buttoned them up to the top button, revealing only a small part of her snow-white and slender neck and ankles.
The bright sunlight shone in from the window. He lowered his eyes and adjusted the camera, looking quiet and indifferent.
At this time, Xie Ning suddenly turned her head to look at him, and there was also a flash of emotion in her eyes.
Pei Zhi was tall and strong, wearing a brown robe with a golden decorative chain and a gemstone belt that wrapped around his broad and powerful body.
Two buttons on his collar were undone, revealing his full chest muscles, broad and thick shoulders, and tight arm muscles. The ancient mysterious patterns and special craftsmanship made him look like a jungle cheetah, dangerous and wild.
It was even more perfect than Xie Ning had imagined.
Xie Ning took the camera and took a few pictures. Pei Zhi in the camera was too nervous and his whole body began to look unnatural. His muscles were tense, and his neck and arms were covered with a layer of python tendons. The vigorous vitality coming towards him made Xie Ning stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Pei Zhi was a little stiff. "Does it not fit?"
Xie Ning: "No, it fits very well."
He looked at Pei Zhi's chest. "Is the clothes too small?"
Pei Zhi: "I tried it, but it can't be fastened."
The most important thing is that he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of damaging it.
Xie Ning also saw Pei Zhi's concern. He took out gloves from the drawer. The black leather gloves swallowed up his slender white fingers bit by bit, and also made his skin look even whiter.
He came in front of Pei Zhi, and his leather-gloved fingers fell on the buttons near the collar. The flesh near the wrist formed a sharp color contrast with Pei Zhi's darker skin.
[Come closer, come closer...]
[My wife smells so good, and her eyelashes are so long...]
[So close...]
Too close.
Pei Zhi could clearly see the fine hairs on Xie Ning's face, and the skin so fine that the pores were almost invisible. Under the long eyelashes are clear eyes. Her fingers are buttoning his shirt, but accidentally touch his chest skin...
Maybe Pei Zhi's gaze is too direct, Xie Ning didn't raise her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Pei Zhi's Adam's apple slid, staring at Xie Ning for a moment, and then added inexplicably, "I just think..."
[Very beautiful. ]
"I changed the size of this dress, but it's still not enough." Xie Ning ignored those words, "Your shoulders and chest are better than I thought. Can I modify it a little bit?"
Xie Ning certainly couldn't finish modifying so many sets of clothes in one day. Today, she just wanted to see the general effect and let Pei Zhi get familiar with the environment.
Xie Ning was in good condition today. Despite such close contact, his dermatitis was still effectively controlled.
He was in a good mood, so he helped Pei Zhi with his clothes.
Pei Zhi: "Are you like this to everyone?"
This everyone refers to Shen Ye, but Pei Zhi didn't want to mention this name, so he used a pseudonym.
"No." Xie Ning's fingers stroked the gemstone belt around his waist, which was decorated with pendants and tassels. He said, "The clothes used to be not so complicated, and the models could take care of them themselves."
The key is that he has a mysophobia and doesn't like to touch other people.
Even if some adjustments are necessary, he will wear gloves, like now.
Pei Zhi: "Do you like him very much?"
"Huh?" Xie Ning realized that he was talking about Shen Ye. He said, "Not bad. Shen Ye has a good sense of camera."
Pei Zhi: "Oh."
[What about me? What about me? What about me? ]
Although Pei Zhi didn't say anything, his expression vaguely revealed a bit of anxiety and impatience. He stared at Xie Ning closely, as if waiting for Xie Ning to speak.
Xie Ning: "You are not bad either."
Pei Zhi's face improved. After a while, he called out again: "Xie Ning."
Xie Ning adjusted her clothes and lighting, picked up the camera, and asked while filming: "What's wrong?"
Pei Zhi hesitated for a long time. Xie Ning looked at him: "Don't you have something to say?"
"I heard last time," Pei Zhi said, "Shen Ye wants to confess to you. He said it himself."
Xie Ning paused in filming and looked up at Pei Zhi.
The weather is very good today. The warm sun is like a layer of gauze draped over his body. Not only did it not reduce the coldness on his body, but it made him look more distant.
Pei Zhi's pupils slowly turned darker, and Xie Ning's eyes were very light, but they had the penetrating power to see through everything.
His thin lips slowly pressed into a tight line, his brows were locked, his already stern face and the deep expression at the moment made him look in a bad mood.
This expression was very good, Xie Ning found a good angle to take a photo: "Don't worry."
"I don't like boys."
Pei Zhi was stunned, and then asked: "Do you like girls?"
"I don't like them either." Xie Ning said, "I have no plans to fall in love. You can rest assured that I will not fall in love, let alone fall in love with men."
Even Xie Ning, who was deaf to the outside world, had heard of the example of Pei Zhi being harassed by gays. Pei Zhi was extremely homophobic. If he knew that this person was gay, he would not say a word to this person, let alone make friends with this person.
No wonder Pei Zhi always looked so unhappy when he mentioned Shen Ye.
Xie Ning suddenly realized.
No wonder Pei Zhi always mentioned Shen Ye in front of him. It turned out that Pei Zhi had heard Shen Ye's words to confess to him.
Pei Zhi was worried that he was also gay.
Xie Ning gave Pei Zhi a positive answer. He would not fall in love, let alone fall in love with a man, so Pei Zhi could rest assured that he would not make a move on Pei Zhi, nor would he have any ambiguous thoughts about Pei Zhi.
"Yeah." Pei Zhi's expression was indeed much better, but it looked a little strange. Xie Ning didn't think much about it, because Pei Zhi quickly added, "Me too."
This was extremely rare. After leaving the depressing study atmosphere of high school, most people long for a sweet campus romance during college. People with good looks are always attracted by suitors, and Pei Zhi naturally had many suitors, but he was not interested in them and could not even understand this idea.
What's the point of falling in love? It's better to train for one more hour.
Pei Zhi thought that he and Xie Ning really got along well.
Xie Ning didn't want to fall in love, and so did he; Xie Ning didn't like men or women, and so did he; Xie Ning's name was just two characters, and so did he.
No one could get along better than them.
"I need to modify the rest of the clothes... It may take the weekend at the earliest." Xie Ning wrote down Pei Zhi's body measurements and asked, "Do you have time this weekend?"
Pei Zhi: "Yes."
"Thank you for your hard work, as for the salary..."
Xie Ning nodded slightly, the mirror reflecting silver light in the sunlight. Suddenly, his five fingers tightened, and the pencil in his hand made a crisp breaking sound.
A layer of burning restlessness was rising under the surface of his skin, longing for comfort. His breathing suddenly became rapid, and he turned slightly to the side, trying to remain calm and said, "As for the salary, let's talk about it in detail over the weekend. I have something to do later, so it's not...not very convenient."
Pei Zhi was dressed very simply today, with a black sports jacket on the outside and a sleeveless vest on the inside. After he changed his clothes, he left the studio.
Xie Ning only sent him to the entrance.
There were delicate swaying curtains on the side of the entrance, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were brightly lit, making Xie Ning's face turn red, and a layer of mist floated over his black and white eyes, as if he was enduring something.
I don't know if it was Pei Zhi's illusion, but Xie Ning's voice seemed to tremble when she spoke for the last time.
Pei Zhi is a very sensitive person, he is very good at discovering details.
He found something abnormal in Xie Ning several times, and his intuition told him that things were not simple. Xie Ning's condition seemed to be very wrong and uncomfortable, but every time Xie Ning would tell him in a more indifferent and calm attitude that all this was just his illusion.
Pei Zhi walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, and Xie Ning's figure had disappeared.
The door was not closed, and there was a small notebook and a pencil that was almost broken on the paper shelf near the entrance.
Pei Zhi's face froze.
It was not his illusion.
Xie Ning not only had a mysophobia, but also had obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the dormitory, although there were few things on his desk, they were neatly arranged. Even if it is just a mobile phone that is placed casually, it will be placed in a stable position.
Instead of being placed randomly like now.
Moreover, although Xie Ning is cold, he is very polite. Logically, he will definitely send Pei Zhi to the front door. How could he only send him to the entrance?
Now Pei Zhi hasn't left yet, but he has already walked into the house. He is so careless that he didn't even close the door.
Recently, Xie Ning always has similar symptoms. Yesterday, he suddenly lost his strength. He looked confused and helpless in Pei Zhi's arms, as if all his strength was drained away.
Just now... his face was also very red.
Is Xie Ning feeling unwell?
It seems that he has a fever.
Pei Zhi felt a little regretful. He should have heard it a long time ago. Xie Ning's voice just now was very strange. It was obvious that he was in a state of being uncomfortable but holding on.
Reversing his steps, Pei Zhi headed back into the studio. The studio was large and most of the rooms were locked.
He looked extremely tense, and suddenly there was a loud noise in his ears, which seemed to be the sound of a glass falling to the ground and shattering.
After locating the source of the sound, Pei Zhi strode to the door of the room, which was ajar.
Pei Zhi stopped and hesitated whether to knock on the door or call for help first, when a soft hum came from behind the door.
The world seemed to freeze at this moment. Pei Zhi stared at the ajar door, and his palms and body temperature became hot.
He seemed to have encountered an extremely difficult problem and was in a dilemma. The breathing sound in his ears continued.
Pei Zhi thought in a trance.
Xie Ning...why is he breathing so hard.
