Chapter 132 A man's three parts drunkenness, enough to make you cry.
Pei Jinwu: "Brother, you're pretending to be drunk!"
Shang Shiyan: "..."
The room suddenly fell silent, the air grew thin, and a strange feeling gradually spread.
"Oh."
Shang Shiyan lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes deep and unfocused, staring intently at the girl before him, his voice hoarse: "How did you figure that out?"
It is said that a man who is three-tenths drunk can make you cry while acting.
He considers himself to be a decent actor.
"Be skeptical when taking a pulse, and certain when having a conversation."
Pei Jinwu nodded, raised an eyebrow slightly, and answered slowly.
"I underestimated Wuwu's strength." Shang Shiyan smiled awkwardly, a helpless twitch at the corner of his lips.
Forget about Wuwu, she's now the Little Divine Doctor.
"Since Wuwu can tell that I'm faking being drunk, can she tell about other things too?"
Shang Shiyan gazed intently at Pei Jinwu, his warm breath brushing against the girl's face as he spoke, a subtle yet alluring touch.
"What did you see?"
Pei Jinwu calmly brushed aside her long, thick eyelashes, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said quite calmly, "You like me?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan was still mentally rehearsing how to say it so as not to frighten the little girl.
Who would have thought—
This kid is so fierce.
This blunt exposure of his true colors left him at a loss.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan gave a muffled "hmm," his lips twitching with a hint of helplessness: "I thought I'd made it obvious enough on a regular basis."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips.
Um.
It's quite obvious.
Even someone like her who didn't know what "liking" meant felt it.
"I originally wanted to wait until graduation to talk to you about this properly." Shang Shiyan raised his hand, carefully brushing away the stray hairs on Pei Jinwu's forehead, and chuckled weakly, "But I'm afraid someone else will take you away."
"Who do you think I'll be taken away by?"
Pei Jinwu's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a calm expression. "Song Mingji?"
"..."
Upon hearing these three words, Shang Shiyan did not respond, his brows furrowed deeply.
I find it very distasteful.
“Others might be able to, but Song Mingji…” Pei Jinwu blinked and moved her red lips, “it’s impossible for us to be together in this lifetime.”
Is it impossible for me to be with Song Mingji in this lifetime?
Upon hearing this, Shang Shiyan's pupils widened.
Did I hear that right?
Does Wuwu dislike Song Mingji?
etc.
What was the sentence before that?
Perhaps others could?
Who are the others?
Besides Song Mingji, who else cares about her?
"Fog..."
Shang Shiyan frowned, about to ask another question, when the girl suddenly spoke up:
"I hate the smell of smoke and alcohol." Pei Jinwu poked the man's face with her finger, her brows furrowing slightly, her eyes both fierce and adorable. "Brother, this is the last time. If I smell it again..."
"..."
Feeling the faint warmth on his face, Shang Shiyan's breathing became heavier.
"You are disqualified from liking me."
The girl blinked, her delicate eyes casually tilting upwards.
"So, it's okay to like it now, right?"
Shang Shiyan's face flushed, his dark eyes fixed on the little girl.
"When you have time, work on your physical fitness."
Pei Jinwu interrupted him, her voice hoarse: "Oh right, especially marksmanship."
"What?"
Shang Shiyan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
Liking her feels like going to war.
"You'll find out later." Pei Jinwu yawned and said in a muffled voice, "My senior brothers are very powerful. If I can beat them, then we can talk about whether I like them or not."
Senior brothers?
Shang Shiyan remembers that Wuwu lived in the dojo for many years.
Perhaps they are referring to the people inside.
"good."
Seeing that she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, Shang Shiyan felt a little annoyed that he had "deceived" her. He asked softly, "I will try my best to make your senior brothers go easy on you."
Someone who can earn a young girl's respect must treat her very well.
Even if it means getting beaten up for taking someone else's girl, it's worth it.
"Tsk."
Pei Jinwu glanced at him, closed her eyes, and mumbled, "I'm sleepy."
After saying that, he showed no intention of leaving.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Shang Shiyan gently pulled the blanket over the two of them, and the corners of his lips gradually turned up.
It seems so.
The girl wasn't entirely without feelings for him.
This progress bar should have been started sooner.
——
The next day.
Pei Jinwu, who had slept soundly all night, slowly opened her eyes.
A handsome face with well-defined features and a three-dimensional face suddenly "rushed" into view.
Further down, there's the man's delicate collarbone and well-defined chest.
The man had his eyes closed, and the cold, menacing aura he usually exuded had dissipated considerably.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps, falling generously on his face.
This scene, witnessed by many, inexplicably stirred their hearts.
The man everyone in the capital wants to marry?
It truly lives up to its reputation!
Pei Jinwu raised her hand and gently touched the man's eyebrows and eyes, a smile spreading across her lips.
Suddenly, I had an urge to keep him hidden away and not let anyone see him.
"..."
Upon noticing someone approaching his face, Shang Shiyan suddenly opened his eyes.
The next second.
The murderous aura and killing intent emanating from him vanished instantly.
"?"
The speed of the move was so fast that Pei Jinwu didn't even have time to react, and it even felt somewhat familiar.
It felt like we had clashed sometime in the past.
But upon closer reflection, she realized that she and Shang Shiyan did not know each other before.
"Good morning, Wuwu." Seeing the girl's face, Shang Shiyan relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips. "How did you sleep last night?"
"It's alright," Pei Jinwu replied. "How about you?"
"That's good." Shang Shiyan glanced at the time, patted the little girl's head, and said softly, "It's time to get up and go to school."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu touched her hair, looking quite bewildered.
Last night, I felt like I was possessed. It was so comfortable lying in Shang Shiyan's arms. I fell asleep within seconds of closing my eyes.
She used to have trouble sleeping and often had nightmares.
I slept exceptionally well last night.
"fine."
Shang Shiyan gave a stiff smile, then stood up with a pained expression on his face.
My arm is stiff and I can't move it because of the pain.
Pei Jinwu then realized that the pillow she had found so comfortable last night was actually Shang Shiyan's arm.
"Are you alright?" Pei Jinwu asked shyly, her eyes filled with embarrassment.
"fine."
Shang Shiyan shook his head and chuckled, "Go wash up, have breakfast, and I'll take you to school."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu obediently went to the restroom, and when she came back, she found the man shirtless and struggling to put on his clothes.
Shang Shiyan stood in front of the dressing mirror, and from her angle, she could see him clearly from the front.
With broad shoulders and narrow hips, and not an ounce of excess fat on her body, her figure is so good it's like she stepped out of a comic book.
They look like they train regularly.
Tsk.
They're quite self-disciplined.
Pei Jinwu stood there, somewhat lost in thought.
"Fog."
Shang Shiyan turned around and met the little girl's interested gaze. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Can you help your brother?"
"OK."
Pei Jinwu stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and carefully buttoned his shirt. When it came to tying his tie, she didn't know where to start: "I don't know how."
She was quite adept at killing people by strangulation.
"I'll teach you."
Shang Shiyan took Pei Jinwu's hand and carefully taught her how to wrap it in circles and tie knots.
"..."
Pei Jinwu glanced at his face but did not refuse.
The two were standing close together, and the sunlight was shining on them.
The atmosphere in the room gradually became ambiguous.
Just then.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Mr. Shang, Actor Jiang is here." Aunt Wang's voice suddenly rang out.
Before the two could react, Jiang Jibai's voice came from behind Wang Ma: "Shi Yan, why isn't my sister in her room?"
Shang Shiyan: "..."
Pei Jinwu: "..."
