Chapter 91 The Cold War Ends Here
New Year’s Day, the fourth day of the Cold War.
Pei Heng woke up in an intimate embrace.
The quilt was warm, and around me was the pleasant scent of Shen Shiqing. Subconsciously, I rubbed my cheek against the soft top of Shen Shi's head, feeling so comfortable that I didn't want to move.
He drowsily kissed Shen Shi's warm cheek again, then suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes.
The morning light was soft. Pei Heng reached out and played with Shen Shi's soft earlobe, staring at him intently.
No matter how good Shen Shi's concentration was, it was difficult for him to continue pretending to sleep.
His eyelashes trembled, and he rubbed his soft, sleeping cheek against Pei Heng's face, "Husband..."
Pei Heng enjoyed the intimacy, pinched Shen Shi's earlobe, and asked, "Were you really drunk last night?"
After staying up all night last night, Chen Shi got drunk and was even more... clingy than usual.
He rubbed against her when he was running the bath water, and was restless during the bath. In the end, he was the one who pushed Shen Shi into the bathtub and washed him clean.
When sleeping, she clung to him like an octopus, and the rules of keeping distance during the Cold War were thrown out of the window.
Shen Shi looked at him with clear eyes, his expression very serious, and even nodded innocently, "I'm really drunk."
She leaned forward and kissed Pei Heng on the lips, "Thank you, husband, for helping me take a bath last night. You worked hard."
Pei Heng's doubts were mostly gone, but he was still a little skeptical.
After all, except when he was in a very unstable mood, Shen Shi rarely clung to others like he did last night... almost in a spoiled and naughty way.
But I couldn't find any flaws, so I just believed it and said, "Okay..."
"You forced me to call you handsome brother last night, remember?"
Pei Heng said this, and as if playing a prank, he quietly put his fingers under the hem of Shen Shi's pajamas and touched the sensitive skin on his lower back.
Shen Shi chuckled softly, wrapped his arms around Pei Heng's neck, buried his face in his shoulder and rubbed it, acting like a spoiled child in a skilled manner.
"Then if this handsome brother of mine behaves well, can I apply for some privileges, such as... a reduced sentence?"
"It's only the fourth day... I don't want to have a cold war with you for even a moment longer."
Not to mention four days, from the moment the cold war was declared, every second felt like a year to him.
Pei Heng listened to his soft plea, and all kinds of dreams from his childhood emerged in his mind.
No matter which life it was, Chen Shi had been with him for a long time and loved him for a long time.
His heart was soaked in warmth and softened beyond words.
Pei Heng held Shen Shi in his arms, rolled comfortably in the soft quilt for half a circle, and then held the person in his arms and announced the new cat rules.
"Okay, I agree to reduce the sentence. The cold war ends here."
—
Downstairs restaurant.
Jiang Lanyue had an expensive moisturizing mask on her face and was sipping oatmeal porridge.
Seeing Pei Heng and Shen Shi coming in, he waved vaguely, "Happy New Year, take my little brother away quickly, you always want to use your claws to pick at my mask, you little bastard."
Shen Shi smiled, walked over, picked up the calico kitten that was curiously stretching its paw to touch the edge of the mask, and gently scratched its chin.
The kitten purred comfortably.
Pei Heng sat down at the dining table, but found that Huo Xiao, who was sitting opposite him, had a complicated expression on his face. He was poking at the fried egg on the plate without saying a word, looking like he was worried about something.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? You look so serious." Pei Heng asked vaguely while biting a dumpling, "Where's Ling Yue? Why don't I see him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the window next to him.
Pei Heng turned his head and saw Ling Yue climbing in through the open window.
Pei Heng propped up his head in confusion, "Why don't you go through the door but climb through the window?"
"No, what were you two doing last night? Why do you both look so weird?"
Ling Yue saw so many people in the restaurant, especially Pei Heng and Shen Shi, all looking at him. A look of discomfort flashed across his face, and his ears turned a little red.
He said dryly, "Good morning, Master."
"I'm fine," Pei Heng ate another dumpling, his eyes flicking back and forth between Huo Xiao and Ling Yue, "but you don't look well, and neither does Huo Xiao."
"Did you two have an argument, or did you lose a fight?"
When Ling Yue heard this, he felt like a sore spot had been touched. He immediately glared at Huo Xiao, walked up to him, and slammed the table.
"Get up! Get out! Another fight!"
Huo Xiao was startled by him and almost jumped up from his chair. He quickly pretended to help him and lowered his voice.
"I can fight you, but I'm afraid it's not convenient for you today. How about... another day?"
Pei Heng slowly raised his head, a big question mark appearing on his face.
Wendsheng, who was pretending to wipe the vase but actually eavesdropping with his ears perked up, quickly turned off the melodramatic novel playing in his headphones, came over, and spoke in a long tone.
"……Um?"
It is quite meaningful.
Even Jiang Lanyue, who was wearing a face mask, suddenly felt less sleepy. She took off the mask and sat up straight, full of curiosity and gossip. "...Huh? What's inconvenient?"
As someone who had also experienced this, Shen Shi slowly turned his head upon hearing this, his eyes falling on Ling Yue.
Ling Yue: “…”
He felt as if his face was on fire and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed Huo Xiao by the collar and growled through gritted teeth, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"
Then, without saying anything, he dragged Huo Xiao, who was about to say something, and quickly fled the restaurant.
The few people left in the restaurant looked at each other in confusion.
Then, Jiang Lanyue and Wen Desheng exchanged a knowing look, and smiled as if they understood.
Pei Heng also reacted and couldn't help laughing, then continued eating his dumplings.
