Chapter 90 Two Stupid People
After Yu Zhi had lunch at Yue Lingyao's house, she received a message that the hourly worker had finished cleaning.
She stood up carrying a bag of apples she had brought from Yue Lingyao's house. The bag was still damp from the kitchen, and a thin layer of frost quickly formed in the cold air.
"You really don't need me to take you there?" Yue Lingyao asked as they reached the door.
"No need." Yu Zhi waved her hand.
Her fingertips were still pinching the handle of the apple bag. As her eyes swept around the corner of the corridor, her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot.
Zhou Fang, that bastard, was still making promises last night?
Sure enough, not a single word of truth came out of the man's mouth.
Pei Yuezhou leaned against the wall of the corridor, his figure casting a long shadow in the warm light, and even his breathing was extremely light.
He was born with fair skin, which now looked even whiter in the warm light in the corridor. Even the tips of his ears were faintly red, as if they were smoked by the heating, or as if he was hiding some unspeakable uneasiness.
Hearing footsteps, Pei Yuezhou suddenly looked up.
The peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned corners had lost all the sharpness of a superior person that was usually restrained. There was a thin and soft layer of moisture in the pupils, and the corners of the eyes were bright red.
Even the eyelashes seemed to be touched by tiny pieces of light, trembling to the point of tightening one's heart.
His hands hung at his sides, his fingertips curled unconsciously, his knuckles white, and he had obviously been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Yu Zhi, Pei Yuezhou took half a step forward, then stopped abruptly, his shoulders even slumping slightly, adding a rare bit of obedience.
"Zhizhi..." His voice rang out in the quiet corridor, a little hoarse and with a barely perceptible tremor. "I was wrong. Please don't ignore me, okay?"
He deliberately softened his tone and even lowered his eyes slightly, letting his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, just enough to cover up the anxiety in his eyes, leaving only the red corners of his eyes exposed.
It was as if all his sharpness had been withdrawn, leaving only cautious flattery.
Yu Zhi ignored him and walked straight to the elevator.
The bag of apples in her hand shook, making a slight clinking sound. The thin frost on the bag fell on the back of her hand, making her fingertips shrink at the cold.
Pei Yuezhou hurriedly caught up with her, stretched out his hand to touch her arm, but stopped in mid-air, and finally just lightly rubbed the corner of her clothes.
The touch was as light as a feather, with the warmth of his palm.
He reached out his hand.
"I'll get it for you."
Yu Zhi pulled her hand back suddenly, and the apple bag made a "rustling" sound, and several apples rolled around in the bag.
"No need." Her voice was as cold as the chill in the corridor. Without even looking at him, she pressed the down button for the elevator.
Pei Yuezhou's hand froze in mid-air, his face turned pale in an instant, and even the color of his lips faded.
He looked at her back, the red in his eyes became even darker, and even his voice was filled with pleading: "I really know I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, but can you please not ignore me?"
The morning light fell on his face, his skin was almost transparent in the warm light, and the red at the corners of his eyes spread like fine rouge, revealing a fragile beauty.
"I've already apologized to my brother, and I promise it won't happen again."
Yu Zhi then turned to look at him: "My brother is awake?"
"I woke up last night." Pei Yuezhou responded quickly, with a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes.
"I understand." Yu Zhi's tone was flat.
The elevator arrived with a ding and the door slowly opened.
Yu Zhi raised her foot to go in, but Pei Yuezhou suddenly stepped forward and blocked the elevator door.
He didn't dare get too close, and just stood by the door. The moisture in his eyes grew thicker, and even his voice was choked with sobs: "Zhizhi, look at me again..."
Yu Zhi finally turned her head to look him in the face, her gaze calmly sweeping across his reddened eyes and tight lips: "Don't cry, can you be a little more capable?"
Xiaoshui's complaints echoed in his mind: [Good fellow, I didn't know and I thought he was the little wife who was tragically abandoned by a scumbag.]
Pei Yuezhou's eyelashes trembled. He didn't say anything, but just looked at her eagerly. He looked like a large dog that felt wronged after being trained but didn't dare to refute.
Yu Zhi's heart moved slightly, and she almost broke down, but she forced herself to suppress the soft feeling: "I said, I want to be alone recently, you don't have to be so clingy."
He took another half step forward, his voice softened, almost whispering into her ear: "So where are you moving to soon? I'll have the housekeeper send you some things, your favorite skin care products, pajamas..."
Yu Zhi didn't respond. Her eyes fell on his clenched hands, his knuckles were white, and even the blue veins on the back of his hands were faintly visible. She also glanced at the indelible red at the corners of his eyes.
She unconsciously pinched the handle of the apple bag with her fingertips. The thin frost on the bag rubbed against her fingertips, making her feel cold and snapped back to her senses. "No need. Move aside."
Her voice was still cold, but without the aloofness that had kept her at arm's length from others.
Pei Yuezhou's eyes darkened instantly, as if he was splashed with cold water, but he didn't dare to insist any longer, for fear of really angering her.
He finally turned aside, but his eyes were still glued to her, full of reluctance.
Yu Zhi stepped into the elevator and pressed the "1" floor.
The elevator door slowly closed. She looked at the anxiety and helplessness in Pei Yuezhou's eyes outside the door, and her fingertips moved slightly.
[Host, are you heartbroken? But honestly, with that face and those red eyes, it's really hard to bear.]
The elevator door was completely closed, blocking the view from inside and outside.
In the corridor, Pei Yuezhou, who looked aggrieved and pitiful just now, instantly lost the pitiful and broken look that Xiaoshui described.
He leaned back against the wall, his eyes and brows filled with lingering melancholy and gloom.
His knuckles were clenched so tightly that even the veins on the back of his hands were faintly bulging.
Damn Zhou Fang, what a weird idea!
At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated, and the two words "Song Yu" on the screen were particularly unpleasant to the eyes.
Pei Yuezhou answered the phone, his tone still filled with hostility: "Speak."
"Brother Zhou, I heard you and your sister-in-law are having a cold war?" Song Yu's voice was filled with obvious anticipation and a hint of excitement. "Come over here, bro. I've booked the bar for you. I'll get you drunk together and drink away all your unhappiness!"
Pei Yuezhou's eyes were filled with more hostility. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm allergic to alcohol. Are you trying to drink me away?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then Zhou Fang's voice came over, with a bit of attentiveness and flattery: "It's okay, Brother Zhou, we have prepared anti-allergy medicine for you.
Think about it, when you are drunk, we will call your sister-in-law and tell her that you are very drunk and no one is taking care of you. She will definitely come to pick you up.
Then you can act coquettishly with her and admit your mistake, and once her heart softens, you can reconcile! "
Pei Yuezhou's hand holding the phone paused, and he actually fell silent, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was seriously considering the feasibility of this method.
Shen Luoyin looked at the two people gathered together to come up with bad ideas, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said helplessly to the phone: "Don't listen to these two stupid people. If you force her out now, she will only be more angry."
When Pei Yuezhou heard this, the little bit of expectation that had just emerged in his mind instantly disappeared. His brows frowned even tighter and he hung up the phone without hesitation.
