Chapter 16 Kissing the Wrist
The restroom at the end of the corridor was relatively quiet, with a faint scent of incense in the air.
Pei Heng didn't like the smell of incense, so he wrinkled his nose and walked in.
Pei Heng walked to Shen Shi's side, without saying a word, and watched quietly as Shen Shi leaned slightly over to wash his hands under the faucet.
Chen Shi washed very seriously, and his slender fingers were flushed with powder as the water washed them.
Shen Shi turned his head to look at Pei Heng who was silent beside him, and lowered his voice, "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Heng raised his eyes, his eyes hazy with alcohol.
"I seem to be drunk, Shen Shi."
He couldn't explain why, but it seemed that after getting drunk, he was only safe if he stayed with Shen Shi.
Pei Heng curled his knuckles and gently wrapped them around a strand of hair beside Shen Shi's ear, fiddling with it unconsciously.
Shen Shi looked at his dependent movements, exhaled softly, and his chest was filled with softness.
He turned around and faced Pei Heng. "Well, what should we do?"
The slightly cool fingertips touched the hot skin, and Pei Heng's face was caressed. He lowered his eyes and subconsciously tilted his head, feeling a little itchy.
His heart felt inexplicably hot, making him dizzy and bold.
Pei Heng suddenly stretched out his hand, supported himself on the edge of the sink, and leaned forward slightly, trapping Shen Shi.
"Shen Shi."
He shouted again, his voice low.
“Hmm…” Shen Shi responded, looking up at him.
Their eyes were entangled with each other, Pei Heng's breath was hot, staring at the faint red at the corner of Chen Shi's eyes, and approached little by little, until the distance was so close that it was a little ambiguous.
Shen Shi's eyes flickered slightly, and a desire so strong that it could not be dissolved flashed across his eyes.
Pei Heng, however, simply rested his forehead on Shen Shi's shoulder, and his chin also rested on it, burying it in the crook of Shen Shi's neck.
He took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with the clean and refreshing scent of Shen Shi, which miraculously dispelled the chaos in his mind.
Shen Shi felt the warm breath on the crook of his neck, his back against the cold countertop, and sighed silently.
He tilted his head and rubbed his cheek gently, "Husband..."
Pei Heng was startled, and the arms around Shen Shi's waist tightened a little, and the slight redness on the tip of his ear spread to the base of his ear.
Perhaps it was because Pei Heng did not respond, the suppressed addiction in Shen Shi's heart began to stir again.
He took Pei Heng's hand that was around his waist, brought it to his lips, and kissed the slender fingers closely.
The last blow landed on the inside of Pei Heng's wrist.
Pei Heng felt that Shen Shi was not kissing him, but was simply torturing him in this way. His heart trembled, but he was reluctant to push him away.
He grumbled in complaint and stood up straight, "...Okay."
Shen Shi paused and finally stopped the torturous kiss.
The emotions in his eyes gradually calmed down, and he straightened Pei Heng's messy collar.
After finishing the sorting, Shen Shi felt much more relaxed.

When the two returned to the box, the deafening music stopped, the lights dimmed, and a group of people sat around with excited and nervous expressions on their faces.
Seeing them come in, Zhou Jingming ignored the gossip and patted the sofa, "Pei Hengheng, come quickly, the wonderful events on campus are not to be missed!"
The friend with the best eloquence in the crosstalk club lowered his voice and said, "...Really? I heard there are gangsters in that old town near Hua University! They have people in the school too, and their identities are very well hidden."
"It is said that these are people who have seen real swords and guns, and they are not to be trifled with!"
Another classmate immediately followed up, "Yes, there's something even more mysterious! That little forest behind the Sports College dormitory building, you know that?"
"This semester, people have been saying things like seeing ghosts in the middle of the night and seeing shadowy figures flying around in the treetops!"
Pei Heng sat down next to Shen Shi. Just as he was listening intently, a piece of honeydew melon was handed to his lips.
He lowered his head, took a bite of Shen Shi's hand, then looked up at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi was also looking at him with a focused gaze, seemingly completely uninterested in those strange stories.
Pei Heng felt a little playful and asked Shen Shi in a low voice, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Shen Shi shook his head, a faint smile on his lips, "Don't be afraid."
He looked at Pei Heng and made an invitation, "Professor Lin is giving a lecture in the training building the day after tomorrow morning. Can Ah Heng accompany me?"
Pei Heng thought about it and realized that he had classes in the teaching building the day after tomorrow afternoon, so he nodded and agreed.
—
On the day of the lecture.
Chen Shi still felt sorry for Pei Heng and was reluctant to let him get up early, so he just asked Pei Heng to come when the lecture was about to start at 10:30.
In the lecture hall, Shen Shi, as Lin Qingyuan's right-hand man in the research team, was checking the attendance list and marking the spot reserved for Pei Heng.
"Heh, Shen Shi, this is an internal research group lecture, not a place for you to talk about love or bring people in to attend class. Who allowed you to bring in irrelevant people casually?"
The senior student wearing thick black-framed glasses said in a sarcastic tone, his face full of disdain, "Teacher Lin trusts you, but he doesn't want you to abuse your authority and get special treatment."
He simply couldn't understand how Shen Shi could join the research group in his first year of undergraduate studies and gain Professor Lin's trust.
"What do you know? Haven't you read the forum? Junior Brother Shen is chasing someone. He is idle all day long, but he is still able to stay in the research group. I don't know how much benefits he has given to Professor Lin." Another senior who was organizing the courseware said, and he obviously has a good relationship with the man wearing glasses.
Shen Shi stopped what he was doing, "Who to take and where to sit are all agreed by Teacher Lin himself, so don't worry about it."
He glanced at the two of them, his expression revealing a nonchalant indifference. "Also, a reminder to the two graduate students: you are the only ones in the group who haven't submitted their analysis papers for the previous project."
Two seniors: "..."
The young man with glasses suddenly became angry and said, "Chen Shi! What's your attitude? You are so arrogant to the senior? Who do you think you are!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn over.
