Chapter 43
Li Miao's words surprised Pei Huai.
He was momentarily speechless.
If Pei Huai didn't know that Li Miao was a kind-hearted person, he would have thought that Li Miao's words were deliberately meant to embarrass him.
Knowing Li Miao well, Pei Huai knew that Li Miao didn't mean to tease him.
Pei Huai met his gaze with his deep black eyes, pondering how he should explain.
Pei Huai licked his lips, about to speak.
Little did he know that Li Miao would approach him again and whisper to him.
This time, Li Miao's eyes were still filled with worry.
He said softly, "Are you feeling unwell right now? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The more genuine Li Miao's worries were, the more embarrassed and ashamed Pei Huai felt.
“A little, but… I don’t need your help.” Pei Huai’s voice was hoarse.
“Okay, how long will it take before you feel a little better?” Li Miao asked worriedly.
He leaned his body, with most of his body in contact with Pei Huai.
Pei Huai felt the fragrance emanating from the boy making him even more aroused.
Especially Li Miao's eyes; whenever the light from outside the car window poured in, the dazzling and mesmerizing light and shadow, as a backdrop, shimmered and illuminated the color of Li Miao's pupils, as if carrying a myriad of deep and mysterious attraction.
Pei Huai was unconsciously drawn to Li Miao's eyes.
The urge to get very close surges and roars even when suppressed.
Pei Huai pursed his lips tightly, raised his hand to straighten Li Miao's shoulder, a hidden desire flashing in his eyes, his voice low and hoarse: "I'll feel better if you're not so close to me."
"For example, if you sit a little further forward, your fragrance might be a bit strong."
“…Hmm?” Li Miao tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion. She raised her arm and sniffed, but there was no strange smell. At most, there was only the smell of shower gel.
"Alright." Since Pei Huai had said so anyway, Li Miao could only move forward and sit near Pei Huai's knees.
However, Li Miao still didn't understand.
Pei Huai's heat cycle suddenly started.
Shouldn't we hope he's closer?
Just like when he's in heat, rubbing against Pei Huai makes him feel better, how come Pei Huai's situation is the opposite of his?
Li Miao, a cat who wasn't particularly smart to begin with, was completely baffled.
To confirm one last time, she typed with her finger: "Are you sure you'd be more comfortable if I moved closer to you?"
"No need," Pei Huai said softly, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
"What do you mean, 'not needed'?" Liang Yixuan had actually noticed that Li Miao and Pei Huai were whispering something.
Even now, he still couldn't resist asking out of curiosity.
"It's nothing." Li Miao kept her lips tightly closed, shook her head, and said nothing more; she wanted to keep it a secret!
"So mysterious." Liang Yixuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at them. "Can't I even know?"
"If you knew, it wouldn't be a mystery anymore," Li Miao replied mischievously, silently adding in her mind: Keep it a secret, meow~
"Alright then." Liang Yixuan's expression was rather helpless.
Pei Huai and Li Miao have now become the best of friends.
"Then you two continue, I won't disturb you any longer." Liang Yixuan smiled lazily.
Li Miao chuckled softly.
Type what you want to say in your phone's notes app and show it to Pei Huai:
If you need any help, feel free to let me know. I've studied the PDF document my brother sent me, and it might be helpful.
Pei Huai never expected that Li Miao would say such things in front of him at this moment.
Even though Pei Huai was usually calm and composed, his ears burned uncontrollably. He spread his legs apart, trying to calm his agitated emotions and calm himself down as soon as possible.
But at that moment, Li Miao smiled sweetly at him with her delicate and beautiful eyes.
This is no less than adding fuel to the fire.
They're all still on the bus!
Pei Huai raised his hand and turned off Li Miao's screen to prevent others from seeing the content on it.
He clenched his teeth and whispered to Li Miao, "I really don't need your help, it'll be done soon."
"Oh, okay then." Li Miao had thought he would have a chance to show Pei Huai the results of his self-study.
It seems that now is not a good time.
Could it be that Pei Huai was shy and thought he meant they were in the car? Good heavens, even a cat with sentience can feel shame!
Li Miao unlocked her phone again, opened the notes app, and frantically typed: "I didn't mean in the car, I meant once the car stops, we can find an excuse to go to a hotel."
Pei Huai: "..."
How come you're getting more and more outrageous?
Pei Huai suddenly had a headache. Now, not only did his lower body hurt, but his head also hurt.
"We're almost there, so calm down." Pei Huai turned Li Miao's body around so he could see the road ahead, not giving Li Miao a chance to tease him.
With her shoulder being pressed down hard, Li Miao blinked her thick eyelashes and looked at the rear of the car in front of her. She accepted reality with regret. Pei Huai really didn't need her help, and she missed a good opportunity to show off her learning achievements.
“It’s okay, I’ll wait until next time,” Li Miao said casually.
One sentence silenced Pei Huaigan.
Li Miao was hoping he would lose control outside next time?
Pei Huai almost laughed out of anger, feeling that he and Li Miao were not on the same level in their communication.
He was so angry that he wanted Li Miao to conjure up her tail so he could rub it however he wanted, just to calm him down.
Speaking of the tail.
Pei Huai lowered his eyes and stared at Li Miao's buttocks.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too direct and blatant that Li Miao noticed it so easily.
Li Miao twisted her body, her heart filled with concern.
This wasn't the first time Pei Huai had looked at him like this. Why was he looking at his butt? Was there something wrong with it?
Or perhaps Pei Huai simply enjoys staring at his butt all the time.
Is he a weirdo or a pervert?
The older brother scolded Pei Huai, saying that although he seemed abstinent and proper, he might be a pervert behind the scenes, and that he couldn't kiss Pei Huai, so he could only hug and cuddle to relieve the heat.
Li Miao didn't believe it at first.
This was the third time he had caught Pei Huai looking at his body position as something was wrong.
Why do you stare at his butt all day?!
That's really insane!!!
"Where are you looking?" Li Miao's cheeks were puffed up, and her tone was a little angry.
When Pei Huai was caught and questioned by Li Miao, he was speechless for a moment.
He was so nervous while explaining that he almost bit his tongue: "I didn't look anywhere."
Li Miao scoffed dismissively, not believing Pei Huai's nonsense.
Liang Yixuan and Li Hang, who were eavesdropping on their conversation, sat in their seats trying to suppress their laughter, their shoulders shaking violently.
They were well aware that during this time, Pei Huai and Li Miao's interactions had occasionally been somewhat ambiguous.
She gradually began to observe Pei Huai and realized that he seemed less straightforward than he was at the beginning of the semester.
How can you be caught peeping at Li Miao and still deny it?!
That's hilarious.
Liang Yixuan and Li Hang didn't find it strange to peek at Li Miao.
Because Li Miao is really very delicate and cute.
His features were as if sculpted by the hand of God. Sometimes, when he sat still in his dormitory, the sunlight would illuminate his features, and the golden light would shimmer on the ends of his hair, making Li Miao look like a doll displayed in a transparent shop window, sold at a high price.
Several times, Li Hang and Liang Yixuan were stunned by Li Miao's unreal beauty.
Appreciating beautiful things is a human instinct.
Liang Yixuan really wanted to mock his friend: How dare you peek at Li Miao and then not admit it?
The atmosphere on the bus became lively and quite cheerful.
Just as everyone was silent, the driver waiting at the red light suddenly spoke up gossipily: "Oh my, you two wouldn't happen to be a couple, would you?"
"Huh?" Li Miao asked in surprise.
Who is the couple? Does it refer to him and Pei Huai?
"The social environment now is so much better. It wasn't this open back in our day," the driver exclaimed.
"The two young men are so handsome, a real treat to the eyes."
"Uncle driver, you've misunderstood. He and I aren't a couple yet," Li Miao quickly interrupted the driver's exclamation.
Upon hearing that their relationship had been denied, Pei Huai narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils gradually deepening in intensity.
Pei Huai stared at the back of Li Miao's neck, patiently listening to the conversation between Li Miao and the driver.
"Huh? I thought you two were a couple because you were sitting on his lap." The driver was taken aback; he had misunderstood.
“I sat on his lap because it was too crowded,” Li Miao explained earnestly.
The driver was initially wondering if the two of them didn't want to admit it and cause him trouble, but when he turned his head and looked into the boy's innocent and pure eyes, he realized that he was probably wrong.
"Oh, I was wrong then." Just then, the traffic light turned green, giving the driver a chance to change the subject.
Li Miao's cheeks slowly began to burn.
So, in other people's eyes, his relationship with Pei Huai had already reached this intimate romantic stage?
The restaurant is not too far from the school by car.
A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
I thought the restaurant wouldn't be crowded, but it was the weekend, and even though the prices were a bit high, this well-regarded restaurant was almost full of diners.
Fortunately, the queue wasn't too long.
The four of them can then take their seats.
On the way here, Li Miao passed by other restaurants and glanced at them curiously, thinking in advance about what dishes she wanted to eat.
But then they heard Pei Huai and Liang Yixuan say that if it was a buffet, they could order whatever they wanted.
"Whatever you want?" Li Miao's gluttonous nature exploded, her eyes shining brighter than gemstones.
He turned sideways to look at the order screen in Pei Huai's hand, which displayed various dishes along with pictures of the food.
Some expensive ingredients are limited, but most things can be added as much as you like. Snacks like fruit and cakes need to be taken from the food station.
Li Miao was dazzled by the choices. Once he was sure he could order anything, he wanted to eat it all.
“Then let’s order one of each and try everything,” Pei Huai chuckled. “Otherwise, if we order too much, we won’t be able to finish it and we won’t be able to try everything.”
"Okay \(^o^)/~" Li Miao was overjoyed and excited.
She immediately got up and went to the bar to get two small cakes that looked delicious.
I scooped out a large piece with a spoon.
Liang Yixuan originally wanted to remind Li Miao that when eating at a buffet, you should definitely eat meat first and eat more meat, but he felt it was unnecessary and told her to eat whatever she wanted.
He looked at Pei Huai sitting opposite him. Pei Huai had a faint smile in his eyes. Wasn't that exactly what Pei Huai thought?
"Pei Huai, you eat first." Li Miao held the spoon to Pei Huai's lips.
Pei Huai's eyes widened slightly as he asked, "Aren't you going to eat first?"
“Since you’re treating, you should take a bite first, then I’ll eat.” Li Miao placed the spoon near Pei Huai’s mouth and fed him.
Pei Huai couldn't refuse, so he opened his mouth and ate it.
Li Miao smiled happily, then continued to scoop up the small cake and eat it herself.
The spoon hadn't been changed or wiped, and Pei Huai noticed it out of the corner of his eye, causing his cheeks to flush slightly.
Li Miao looked up and saw that Li Hang and Liang Yixuan were both looking at him.
Li Miao: "?"
"Would you like some small cakes too? If so, I'll go get them for you."
Li Hang: "No, no, no."
Liang Yixuan: "No, no, no."
Both of them refused outright.
Liang Yixuan thought to himself that he and Li Hang were probably thinking the same thing; what else could this be but an indirect kiss?
So he turned to look at Li Hang, thinking that they should have a deep, knowing look in each other's eyes.
Li Hang: "?"
At first I was puzzled, but then it dawned on me—Brother Liang was treating, so it seemed he wanted to—
"Um, would you like me to feed you a piece of cake too?"
"..." Liang Yixuan was speechless for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out the word "get lost".
The ordered dishes were served one after another.
Every dish tasted amazing, as Li Miao munched on a shrimp shell.
Pei Huai quickly peeled the shrimp meat and placed the white, sweet shrimp meat into Li Miao's bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Pei Huai." Li Miao smiled and her eyes crinkled.
Pei Huai was very pleased with this expression of gratitude.
"Brother Pei Huai, I want to eat the shrimp you peeled too," Liang Yixuan teased sarcastically.
Pei Huai slightly raised his thin white eyelids and gave him a look that seemed to ask, "Are you sure?"
Liang Yixuan felt a chill run down his spine under the gaze, swallowed hard, and immediately said, "I was just kidding, just kidding."
Li Hang silently took a deep breath; Liang Ge was the one with the most courage.
He didn't even dare to joke with Pei Huai. Pei Huai had always given him a sense of distance. Although they usually chatted nicely in the dormitory, Li Hang knew in his heart that he and Pei Huai could only be casual acquaintances.
"What else would you like to eat?" Pei Huai asked Li Miao.
Li Miao hadn't even finished what was in her bowl when she pointed to the big crab on the table and said, "I want to eat more crab."
"Hmm." So Pei Huai slowly began peeling the crab meat again.
The restaurant also offers a variety of flavored drinks.
After a few drinks, Li Miao licked her lips a few times. When she went to get more drinks with Pei Huai, she couldn't help but look at the deep red and mellow wine.
Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles blocked Li Miao's view.
"You're not allowed to look at things you shouldn't see," Pei Huai said calmly.
Li Miao took his hand away, looked at Pei Huai expectantly, and said, "I'm an adult now, I can look."
"You got drunk last time you drank beer."
"I drank too much last time, so I'll drink a little less this time." Li Miao even gestured with her fingertip to indicate a little bit.
"I've never even drunk red wine before." Li Miao looked at Pei Huai with her watery eyes.
Pei Huai: "Alright then, we're going to see a movie later, so drink less."
So that I don't turn into a little drunkard after dinner.
"Okay \(^o^)/~" Holding the wine glass, Li Miao asked the waiter to pour him a full glass of red wine. Just smelling the mellow aroma of the wine, Li Miao couldn't wait to take a sip.
Thinking of the little drunkard, Pei Huai suddenly recalled something.
The drunken Miao Miao exposed its ears and tail completely unguarded.
Pei Huai's gaze fell on the bottles of red wine displayed on the metal shelf.
It means that they want to pet Li Miao's ears and tail again.
Can you get Li Miao drunk like a little drunkard?
"Aren't you going back yet? Do you want to drink red wine too?" Li Miao asked him, her clear, bright eyes wide open.
"Hmm, I'll have a little too." Pei Huai handed his glass to the waiter.
"What if you get drunk even after drinking a small amount of red wine?" Pei Huai said. "Red wine generally has a higher alcohol content than beer."
"Hmm..." Li Miao lowered her eyes to look at the red wine in her hand. After thinking for a few seconds, she said nonchalantly, "So what if I get drunk? You're here anyway."
"With you by my side, I won't be in any danger."
Feeling guilty, Pei Huai, who was trusted by everyone, coughed lightly.
but,
Let the little drunk cat stick out its ears and tail so he can rub and play with it; that way, it's not considered to be in danger.
If Li Miao later realizes that he is the most dangerous person around him...
That could also be seen as letting Li Miao experience the dangers of society in advance.
Pei Huai's lips curved into a subtle smile, which made Li Miao vaguely think that the smile was... a sneer?
Li Miao: ?
