Chapter 52 Chapter 52 We Are Really a Good Match
"Winter vacation is finally here," Pei Shuyu said, scrolling through her phone as she nestled comfortably in the back seat of the car. "Mom, how did you find time to pick us up today?"
This time, Ruan Zhuangjing followed Pei Shuyu's advice and did not drive the car into the fork road leading to the school, so the three of them left here without waiting for long.
"On the way," Ruan Zhuangjing glanced at the man sitting with such poor posture in the rearview mirror and said disdainfully, "Can you imitate Xiaoyan and see if your sitting posture is any good?"
Pei Shuyu tilted her head. A girl with a clean temperament sat on the side. The scenery outside the window passed by quickly. The cold air penetrated through the slightly open window, blowing the loose hair on the girl's forehead into all directions.
Hearing her own name, Ji Yan closed the car window, tilted her head, and met Pei Shuyu's gaze, the temperature in the air froze briefly.
Ji Yan raised her eyebrows.
Pei Shuyu instantly became dissatisfied and leaned against the passenger seat. "What's wrong with me? Mom, you're biased. You always criticize me, but why don't you criticize Ji Yan? Doesn't Ji Yan have any flaws?"
Ruan Zhuangjing said calmly: "What are Xiaoyan's shortcomings?"
Pei Shuyu: "Everyone has flaws!"
Ruan Zhuangjing turned the steering wheel and said with a smile, "Then tell me what Xiaoyan's shortcomings are."
Pei Shuyu snorted and sat back.
Ji Yan still had the chill from the wind blowing on her body. She shifted her position and asked, "What are my shortcomings?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the three people in the car to hear. Her tone and attitude were perfectly balanced, making it sound like a joke between close friends: "I'm quite curious. Tell me and I'll change it."
Pei Shuyu: "..."
There was now an extra hand on her legs covered by her coat, which was touching her legs along her knees, pinching the soft flesh of her thighs from time to time.
And in those smiling eyes, it was clearly written that there would be a reckoning later.
Pei Shuyu swallowed, her heart warmed as she thought of the kisses they'd shared every night. She glanced discreetly at Ruan Zhuangjing in the driver's seat and squeezed over to Ji Yan.
Ji Yan's body was squeezed close to the car door. Before she could react, her waist was embraced. Pei Shuyu held her unruly hand and said with a smile: "Please, Ji Yan has no shortcomings."
She had a strong desire to survive: "Mom, you are trying to sow discord between Ji Yan and me, but I won't fall for it."
After saying that, she winked at Ji Yan, and her slender fingers fell on the girl's palm, drawing a few strokes on it.
Ji Yan figured out that what she wrote was "I was wrong".
Very attitude.
Ji Yan curled her lips.
Ruan Zhuangjing: "How could I have tried to sow discord between you? Didn't you say that everyone has flaws?"
She was secretly happy about their excellent relationship.
Pei Shuyu was a scoundrel, relying on the fact that there was no recording, and turned around and said, "I didn't say that. Do you have any evidence?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Ruan Zhuangjing knew she would pull this tactic, so she said calmly, "There should be a dashcam."
Pei Shuyu: "..." She slid down to her knees quickly, "I was wrong."
His words had double meanings. It seemed that he was acting coquettishly and admitting his mistake to Ruan Zhuangjing, but in fact, he was repeating the three words written on Ji Yan's palm.
She cunningly dived into Ji Yan's arms and murmured, "It's so cold, hug me."
The temperature inside the car has adapted, it's not that cold.
Ji Yan noticed Ruan Zhuangjing looking in the rearview mirror, and her heart raced. But soon, Ruan Zhuangjing spoke, "Xiaoyan, stay at your godmother's place this winter break. You can keep Xiao Pei company, and keep an eye on her for me."
Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief silently, and then a huge stone fell. She clenched her fists weakly, thanking Ruan Zhuangjing for her kindness, but she had developed feelings for Pei Shuyu that she shouldn't have behind Ruan Zhuangjing's back.
She bit the tip of her tongue: "Okay, godmother, I will watch her."
Pei Shuyu tilted his head towards Ji Yan's abdomen, raised his head at the sound, and mouthed, "Look at me carefully."
Ji Yan covered her eyes.
Soon, the car stopped and Pei Shuyu and Ji Yan got out one after another.
Ruan Zhuangjing lowered the car window and said, "I have something to do at the company, so I'll be leaving first. You two should take care of yourselves at home."
Pei Shuyu said carelessly: "Okay, Mom, let's go."
Ji Yan said obediently: "Godmother, take care of yourself."
The more Ruan Zhuangjing looked at Ji Yan, the more she liked him. She nodded, "Okay," and then looked at her own daughter. She felt a headache coming on. "Go away, don't let me know that you bullied Xiao Yan."
The car disappeared from the spot. Pei Shuyu clung to Ji Yan's shoulders, wrapped her arms around her, and leaned in softly as if she had no bones. "Don't let me know you're bullying Xiaoyan," she repeated Ruan Zhuangjing's words in a sarcastic tone, "tsk," and teased her, "How could I have bullied you?"
It was cold outside, and there was no one around. Pei Shuyu felt much more unscrupulous. He moved closer, his air falling on Ji Yan's face. "Did I bully you?"
Ji Yan's throat was dry: "No."
Pei Shuyu smiled and released her hand to hold Ji Yan's. A chill ran through her. She stuffed the item into her coat pocket and frowned, "My hands are cold. Let's go home first."
In the bedroom, Pei Shuyu heated up two bottles of milk, unscrewed one and handed it over: "It was so cold, why did you open the window?"
Initially, Pei Shuyu thought that the temperature in the car was too high and it was stuffy, but when she was heating the milk, she realized that something was wrong.
Ji Yan was obviously worried.
Ji Yan took two sips, and her lips were stained with a light white. "I was thinking about how my godmother might react when she finds out."
After not seeing each other for months, she felt incredibly guilty when they met today. The worry that came from deep within her soul made her unable to stop thinking too much, causing her brain to become blurry and she desperately needed some cooling air to clear her mind.
Pei Shuyu drank half a cup of milk and said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't worry."
She put down the milk, took the milk that Ji Yan was holding, and placed it on the bedside. She pointed her slender fingers at the girl's ear and picked up the fallen hair to the side of her ear.
She kissed the corner of Ji Yan's lips: "We'll think of a solution later. My mother likes you so much, she won't say anything."
Ji Yan shook her head.
Pei Shuyu didn't understand.
She grew up under Ruan Zhuangjing's care, and she didn't want to disappoint or make Ruan Zhuangjing sad... But this was probably unavoidable, so she could only minimize it.
She would not let Pei Shuyu go.
Ji Yan raised her eyes and saw the person so close to her stroking her long hair again and again. The ripples in his eyes almost drowned her.
She couldn't help but lean forward and take the initiative to receive someone's kiss.
＊
This winter in our city is exceptionally cold. A heavy snow fell. When I woke up, the outside world was decorated with ice and snow, creating a new world.
There was a layer of fog on the window. Pei Shuyu wrote her and Ji Yan's names on it and drew a heart between their names.
She greeted cheerfully: "Ji Yan, come here quickly."
When Ji Yan heard the noise and rushed over, there were two simple little figures on the glass, happily holding hands.
Pei Shuyu offered her courtesy: "Look, isn't she cute?"
Ji Yan smiled: "Cute."
Pei Shuyu clapped her hands, and strings of water droplets rolled down the window, reflecting the outside.
"Such thick snow," Pei Shuyu leaned on the windowsill with both hands, feeling itchy. "Ji Yan, how about we go downstairs and build a snowman?"
The snow has stopped and the snow on the road has been cleared. There are only a few footprints in the open space, which is a good place to build a snowman.
Ji Yan had no objection.
Pei Shuyu excitedly pulled him downstairs.
There were two more sets of footprints in the open space.
After building the snowman's body, Pei Shuyu found two sticks to act as its arms. "Ji Yan, does it look anything like it?"
Ji Yan was pinching the snowman's nose: "Very similar."
"I think it's almost enough to make the snowman's mouth and eyes now."
During this time, several children came to help.
Pei Shuyu took a photo of them with the snowman. Then she and Ji Yan stood beside the snowman, holding each other affectionately, and asked the children to take a photo of them.
The little girl handed the phone to Pei Shuyu: "Sister, is the picture okay?"
Pei Shuyu squatted down and touched the child's head: "This is a very beautiful photo."
The little girl smiled shyly and praised sincerely: "It's the sisters who are good-looking."
No matter how narcissistic Pei Shuyu was, he felt shy when praised by the little girl, and his ears turned red under his hat.
"Pei Shuyu."
Pei Shuyu subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and a snowball hit her squarely.
Ji Yan bent down and scooped up some fresh snow, forming a snowball and shaking it in her palm: "Is there no way to avoid this?"
The irony was so strong that Pei Shuyu immediately launched a counterattack: "Wait."
She made a snowball and threw it at Ji Yan, who easily dodged it.
Then, a snowball hit her directly in the chest.
Pei Shuyu, who failed in his attacks one after another, rolled his eyes, grabbed a ball of snow and ran towards Ji Yan, hugged the girl and slapped the ball of snow on her back.
She let go triumphantly: "Look, I hit it."
Ji Yan was helpless: "He just cheats."
Pei Shuyu: "What do you know? This is called a strategy."
Ji Yan indulged: "Yes, yes, it's a plan." Her hands were red, and so were Pei Shuyu's hands, which were so cold that they hurt and numb. She asked, "Are you cold?"
Pei Shuyu said, "Not bad."
Ji Yan: "It will be hot soon."
While waiting for the elevator, her numb hands began to heat up. The conflict between the cold and the heat made her hands hurt even more. She opened and closed her fingers several times before the pain was dispelled.
Putting her hand on Ji Yan's cheek, Pei Shuyu asked with a smile, "Is it hot?"
Ji Yan nodded.
When they opened the door, the warm air that hit them dispelled the chill from their bodies. Pei Shuyu changed her shoes, threw herself onto the sofa, and lay down, occupying the entire sofa.
When Ji Yan came back after washing her hands, Pei Shuyu consciously moved closer, patted the empty seat in front of her, and motioned Ji Yan to sit there.
Pei Shuyu's body was as flexible as a snake. She circled Ji Yan and said, "Look at my circle of friends."
Ji Yan seemed to have sensed something, opened her phone, and a message popped up.
It’s the photo of them with the snowman.
After saving, she opened Pei Shuyu's circle of friends.
The group photo came into view again, with only two words captioned above it - "Today".
Someone has liked and commented below.
Qi Ying: Wow, they are making a snowman, it looks really nice.
Hua Yu: Wow, they are making a snowman, it looks really nice.
Ji Yan smiled at these two people.
Ruan Zhuangjing also liked it.
Ruan Zhuangjing: Whose family are these children from? They are so well-matched.
Ji Yan's eyelids twitched violently.
Pei Shuyu also saw this and laughed: "Tsk, I'll let my mom know later. We really are a good match."
