Chapter 116 Shouldn't it be Miss Pei who's too tired to get out of bed?
"The door is broken?"
Shang Shiyan stared intently at the girl, his thin lips curving slightly, his voice laced with a magnetic laugh.
"Um."
Pei Jinwu tilted her head casually, her fox-like eyes crinkling into a smile, and calmly explained, "I didn't break it."
"oh."
Shang Shiyan's smile deepened, and he said in a lazy voice, "Quite a coincidence."
This explanation feels like a blatant attempt to cover something up.
"..."
Pei Jinwu blinked and remained silent.
yes.
It's such a coincidence.
"The door is broken?"
Wang Ma came out of the kitchen and overheard this. With her kind heart, she said, "I'll contact someone to come and fix it right away."
"No need, we'll fix it in a couple of days."
Shang Shiyan spoke up to stop him, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
In a couple of days?
Aunt Wang paused for a few seconds, then asked in confusion, "If it's not fixed, where will Miss Pei sleep?"
There are three rooms on the top floor.
The bedroom of Mr. and Ms. Pei, and the study.
There was no bed in the study.
not to mention.
Repairing the door won't take much time.
"..."
Pei Jinwu remained silent, staring intently at Shang Shiyan.
"Wuwu will sleep in my room, I'll sleep on the sofa." Shang Shiyan lazily curled his lips, his voice magnetic and pleasant: "Wang Ma, please tidy up a bit."
"ah?"
Wang Ma's eyes darted between the two of them, but she didn't react immediately.
I heard that Miss Pei's brother is returning to China in the next couple of days to pick her up. Looking at these two now...
One didn't want to see them off, and the other didn't want to leave.
She had taken care of Miss Pei for so long that she had developed feelings for her.
It's really hard to say goodbye.
Not to mention, sir.
"OK."
Once Wang Ma recovered from her shock, a bright smile appeared on her face. "I'll go get ready right now."
——
After dinner.
When Pei Jinwu was about to do her homework, she realized that she had forgotten to take her schoolbag out in her haste to lock the door.
I had no choice but to go back to my room and fiddle with the broken door lock.
Thud—
The door opened smoothly in less than five seconds.
Pei Jinwu picked up her schoolbag, tidied up some clothes, closed the door again, and broke the lock.
It really won't open now.
Pei Jinwu smiled with satisfaction, and as she turned around, she bumped into Wang Ma, who was coming out of Shang Shiyan's bedroom.
Pei Jinwu: "..."
Wang Ma: "..."
When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
"Cough cough, my eyes have been hurting lately, and I can't see things very clearly..."
Wang Ma was the first to react. Pretending not to have seen anything, she turned her face away and muttered to herself as she walked downstairs.
"..."
Pei Jinwu raised her eyebrows slightly, her starry eyes revealing a hint of bewitching charm, making her exceptionally alluring.
Wang Ma is really nice.
It's time to ask Shang Shiyan to give her a raise.
——
10 PM.
After finishing his work, Shang Shiyan gently pushed open the bedroom door.
At a glance, you can see the girl holding a pen, fast asleep on the table, with most of the test paper under her cheeks blank.
If you get full marks in all subjects, do you still need to do homework?
Shang Shiyan frowned slightly, tiptoed to her side, and leaned down gently, saying, "Wuwu."
"..."
Pei Jinwu was fast asleep when he was suddenly woken up. A hint of malice was hidden in his sleepy eyes.
Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, the hostility vanished instantly.
"Sleeping in bed makes it easy to catch a cold."
Shang Shiyan's gaze darkened, and he gently tapped the girl's cheek with his finger, his voice hoarse, "Be good."
"It's not finished."
Pei Jinwu yawned, so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. "It's due first thing tomorrow morning."
"You go to sleep, I'll take care of the rest."
Shang Shiyan lowered his eyes, took the pen from her hand, and said softly, "I'll do it for you."
Should I help her make it?
Pei Jinwu looked up at the man, her clear, doe-like eyes sparkling.
"Okay." He then opened his schoolbag, took out a stack of workbooks, and placed them in front of Shang Shiyan: "You need to do these too. Thank you, brother. Goodnight, brother."
The words fell.
The little girl climbed into bed with a clear conscience and wrapped herself in the blankets.
"..."
Looking at the stack of assignments in front of him, Shang Shiyan pinched the bridge of his nose and chuckled helplessly.
The young lady was really not polite.
"Go to sleep."
Shang Shiyan tidied the little girl's quilt, turned off the main light, returned to the table, and turned on the small desk lamp.
Pick up your pen and start doing your homework seriously.
at this time.
The girl on the bed stirred, slowly opening her tightly closed eyes. Looking at the man's tall, straight back under the light, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
——
I slept soundly all night.
Pei Jinwu, having had a good sleep, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze unconsciously drifting into the room.
really.
I saw the figure I wanted to see on the sofa.
The man was wearing loungewear, his long legs awkwardly draped over the sofa armrests, his tall body slightly curled up, looking like he wasn't sleeping comfortably.
On the table next to me, homework and test papers were neatly arranged.
Pei Jinwu glanced at it casually and found that the handwriting was almost identical to hers.
Tsk.
It seems like someone will be doing my homework from now on.
Pei Jinwu stepped forward, gently squatted down beside the man, and rested her chin on her hand to observe his face.
Good looks, good figure, good temperament...
The best of men.
Pei Jinwu narrowed her eyes, a terrifying thought suddenly popping into her mind.
They wanted to keep the person hidden away and not let anyone see them.
——
downstairs.
"Miss Pei, you're up." Wang Ma, busy preparing breakfast, noticed no one behind her and couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't Mr. Shang gotten up yet?"
"Um."
Pei Jinwu sat at the dining table, picked up a slice of bread and casually stuffed it into her mouth. She had no one to keep her company and her appetite was poor: "He was exhausted last night and hasn't woken up yet."
What?
Feng Xing and Feng Zhi happened to walk in and, upon hearing this, nearly bit their tongues off.
Master, were you tired last night?
Could it be that Master and Miss Pei did this and that last night?
The two brothers looked at each other, their expressions different.
Shouldn't it be Miss Pei who's too tired to get out of bed?
Is Master's body so weak?
"..."
Wang Ma, holding the porridge, stared at Pei Jinwu in shock.
Their relationship developed so quickly?
Miss Pei is so young, how could Mr. Shang be so cruel to her?
"?"
Pei Jinwu glanced at the three of them, realized she hadn't explained herself clearly, and spoke again: "Oh, he helped me with my homework last night and got tired."
Doing homework?
Wang Ma and Feng Xingfeng were stunned again.
They had only ever seen their master kill people, do homework...
This scene is truly hard to imagine.
"I'm going to school now." Pei Jinwu put down her chopsticks and walked past the astonished group of people. "Tell Shang Shiyan that I'm going to the training ground this afternoon."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'll leave at seven o'clock."
She left not long ago.
When Shang Shiyan got up, his hair was a little messy, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, and he looked tired.
That girl had accumulated several days' worth of homework, including several sets of essays and test papers, and he managed to write until six in the morning.
Even a multi-billion dollar order hadn't made him this concerned.
"master."
Feng Xing looked up and truthfully relayed Pei Jinwu's words.
Seven o'clock?
Shang Shiyan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Cancel tonight's work, I'll go to the training ground to pick her up."
Perfect.
By the way, let's see what kind of person Song Mingji is who is investigating her.
