Chapter 122 Gambling with Life
The moment Pei Yuezhou pushed open the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
The cold white ceiling light in the office fell on Yu Zhi. She was nestled in his office chair, her fingertips still resting on the edge of the curved screen monitor, which was playing a drama she often watched.
Yu Zhi heard the noise and looked up, her eyes shining as if they were filled with broken light. She immediately stood up and ran over, putting her arms around his waist.
"Zhizhi, why are you here?" Pei Yuezhou's voice was a little hoarse, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He had never expected that Yu Zhi would come to him on her own initiative.
The anger in her chest caused by Song Chuhe was somewhat dissipated by the sudden hug, but it was also mixed with an inexplicable panic.
"Someone hasn't finished get off work yet, so of course I have to come and pick him up in person."
When Yu Zhi looked up, she happened to see the red bloodshot under his eyes. Her brows furrowed instantly, and her fingertips gently touched his lower eyelid: "What's wrong with you? You look so bad?"
Pei Yuezhou didn't say anything, just raised his hand and pressed the remote control on the desk.
The glass curtain wall slowly fell, completely isolating the neon lights and noise outside the window. Even the office door lock made a slight sound, as if trapping the two of them in a space that belonged only to them.
He lowered his head and kissed Yu Zhi's lips fiercely, with such eagerness that he almost wanted to pull her into his arms, but there was a restrained trembling between his lips and teeth.
As if he was afraid of scaring her, or as if he was venting the fear that he dared not say out loud.
Yu Zhi was a little breathless from his kiss, but she could feel the trembling and fragility in his kiss.
She raised her arms to hug his neck and kissed him gently back.
Pei Yuezhou noticed her response and kissed her more passionately, but he deliberately let go of her slightly when the kiss became emotional, looking at her with a hint of imperceptible grievance in his eyes.
Yu Zhi's heart softened when she saw him like this.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, her voice full of pity: "Did something happen to you? Tell me, okay?"
Pei Yuezhou closed his eyes and let her kiss him. The uneasiness in his heart was gradually soothed by her tenderness.
"I just... went to see Song Chuhe."
Yu Zhi's face instantly fell, and her tone was full of anger and protectiveness: "He bullied you again?"
Pei Yuezhou didn't answer, but just pulled her to sit on the sofa, but he lowered his head slightly, and his long eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes.
"He said he knows you very well, and that sooner or later you'll get tired of me, and also said..."
As he spoke, his voice began to tremble, his eyes turned red, and he even lowered his head even more, as if he was afraid to see even a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Yu Zhi felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw this, and she immediately hugged Pei Yuezhou to comfort him.
"Song Chu and he are sick, why are they so vicious!" She sat directly on Pei Yuezhou's legs and rubbed his earlobe. "Let's not listen to him, ha, he's just stupid. Our Ah Yue is so good, how could I be sick of her?"
Pei Yuezhou rested his chin on Yu Zhi's shoulder, his body conveying a strong sense of attachment that almost overflowed.
In the corner where Yu Zhi couldn't see, his eyes flashed with a strange light, but his voice was still soft and pitiful, "But Zhizhi, why did he say he knew you very well?"
"Didn't you say you had a bad relationship with him?"
"How did you two meet?"
His voice was very soft, without any questioning intent in it, as if it was just pure doubt.
The last time Yu Zhi led people to smash Song Chuhe's club, the subordinates who came back said that Song Chuhe only called her "sister", so Yu Zhi became angry and pinned the man to the ground and beat him.
He also said something about not saving him.
All signs indicate that Song Chuhe and Yu Zhi definitely did not simply meet in a cafe.
Between them... there is a deeper bond and an unknown past.
He tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
After hearing him talk about this, Yu Zhi felt unhappy.
"I don't want to have anything to do with him at all. There's no such thing as knowing him or not. As for how we met... Tsk, it makes me angry when I mention that."
It felt like one day, on a whim, she casually watered a dying flower on the roadside, but when it grew up, it became a carnivorous plant that hurt her relatives and friends.
This feeling is worse than swallowing a fly alive.
Pei Yuezhou felt that her disgust and resistance were not fake, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly, his voice as light as a sigh: "Is that so."
Yu Zhi held his face and kissed him on the cheek: "Next time I see him, I will beat him up to avenge you."
Pei Yuezhou suddenly raised his eyes, and a sinister look that had not yet dissipated flashed across his eyes, which made Yu Zhi slightly stunned.
He immediately suppressed his loss of control, resting his forehead lightly against hers, the fragility in his voice almost spilling out: "Don't see him again. Zhizhi, don't see him again..."
"Okay, I won't see him. I don't like to see him anyway." Yu Zhi quickly agreed.
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yuezhou grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.
Pei Yuezhou's kiss was filled with the eagerness of regaining what had been lost. His fingertips clasped Yu Zhi's waist and pulled her into his arms, moving all the way from the sofa to the door of the lounge.
He pushed the frosted glass door open with his elbow, and the warm yellow wall lamp stretched the overlapping shadows of the two people very long. He leaned over and pressed her against the soft mattress, his lips still refusing to leave her.
Yu Zhi could feel the warmth of his palm coming through the fabric of her clothes, and he was trembling slightly, as if he was confirming something.
She raised her hand and stroked his back, her fingertips tracing the tight lines under the suit fabric, and asked softly, "Are you still unhappy?"
Pei Yuezhou paused, rested his forehead against hers, and his breath was scorching hot.
He didn't answer, but just bent down and kissed the corner of her eye, then slid down her cheek to her jaw, leaving a series of small kisses.
The lounge was so quiet that only the intertwined breaths of the two people could be heard. His fingers gently stroked the back of her ear. His voice was so soft that it was like a whisper, but it hid the fear of being abandoned: "Zhizhi, don't hate me."
Yu Zhi's heart softened. She raised her hands to hold his face and looked into his eyes seriously: "How could I possibly hate you?"
She took the initiative to move forward and kissed the red corners of his eyes, "No matter what happens, I'm here."
The darkness in Pei Yuezhou's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a surging love that almost drowned him.
He kissed her again, this time without the previous eagerness, but with a little more tenderness and lingeringness.
He carefully took off her coat, his fingertips brushing against her skin, causing her to shudder slightly.
Yu Zhi raised her hands and hooked them around his neck, pulling herself closer to him.
Pei Yuezhou felt her response and his movements became gentler. He kissed her neck, leaving faint red marks.
When he looked up at her, his eyes were filled with an almost crazy possessive desire, and his voice was hoarse and tight: "Zhizhi, such a good Zhizhi... I can't leave you..."
Yu Zhi smiled and gently brushed her fingertips across his lips: "Then you can just stick to me forever."
Pei Yuezhou chuckled and leaned over to kiss her again.
The curtains in the lounge were drawn tightly, and warm light enveloped the two people hugging each other, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Every kiss and every touch seemed to be expressing their deep affection for each other.
But deep in Pei Yuezhou's eyes, the gloom caused by the past has not completely dissipated.
If something unexpected happens...
Even if it meant risking his life, he would definitely seek her mercy and love again.
