While eating, Zhou Xiuran casually asked Chen Yao, "By the way, has Pei Shuo not been here these days? I haven't seen him in the past few times I've been here."
Chen Yao replied: "He went on a business trip and just came back today."
Perhaps it was because her tone was too natural, but Zhou Xiuran looked at her strangely several times, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did he tell you that?"
Chen Yao also realized something, her eyes flickered slightly, and she hummed uncomfortably.
Although she always appeared to be at ease in front of Pei Shuo, when she was in front of Zhou Xiuran, she still felt a slight sense of oppression from an elder who was a generation older than her. In addition, she didn't want Zhou Xiuran to see through her little thoughts so quickly.
Moreover, based on her understanding of him, if he saw something, it would easily affect her and Pei Shuo's current vague and not yet completely revealed state. Maybe he would even tell her parents.
Shen Yao shuddered just thinking about that scene, and subconsciously didn't want to be seen through by an elder like her uncle in such a hazy state.
But in fact, Zhou Xiuran didn't think much about it at this moment, he just felt a little strange, but seeing that Chen Yao didn't elaborate further, he didn't care about it anymore.
......
But shortly after they finished their meal, when Zhou Xiuran was sitting on the sofa working, Pei Shuo suddenly appeared.
"Hey, Pei Shuo, I just mentioned you to Shen Yao. I haven't seen you for several days." Zhou Xiuran smiled and invited him to come and sit down.
"Long time no see." Pei Shuo was holding a small box of very delicate and cute desserts in his hand. He bought them specially for Chen Yao. They were low in oil, sugar and fat, so she could eat them without affecting the recovery of her wounds.
He had specifically learned about this dessert shop from his colleagues. After finding out that patients like Chen Yao could also eat it, he immediately placed an order. However, although patients could eat it, they should not eat too much, so Pei Shuo only bought a small box to satisfy her craving.
Zhou Xiuran also noticed the small dessert in Pei Shuo's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said teasingly with a smile, "You are still so popular. Which beautiful lady gave this to you? It looks really exquisite, but it's a pity that she obviously doesn't know that our Doctor Pei has never liked sweets."
Pei Shuo was stunned and wanted to explain, but he felt that it would be too hot to say it in front of Zhou Xiuran.
For some unknown reason, he quickly glanced at Chen Yao who was leaning on the hospital bed. When he saw her slightly turned sideways with an indifferent posture as if her back was facing them, he felt a little flustered for a moment.
Zhou Xiuran didn't notice his quick glance, only staring at the box of snacks in his hand, and half-jokingly said, "Do you need me to help you finish it?"
Pei Shuo knew that he had this in mind, he just thought it was fun and took the opportunity to tease him.
Zhou Xiuran teased, then smiled and said, "I have to say, these little snacks are really cute these days. They look like the type that little girls would like."
No one knew which word in this sentence irritated Pei Shuo, but his ears turned red silently.
After a moment, he squeezed the edge of the snack box in his hand and explained to Zhou Xiuran, "This wasn't given to me by anyone else. I bought it myself. And, Xiuran, you know I usually don't accept things given to me by others."
Zhou Xiuran was surprised: "Huh? You bought it yourself? How strange! When did you start liking this?"
Pei Shuo pursed his lips, but still said the hot words in front of Zhou Xiuran: "Actually, I bought it for Chen Yao."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly became silent.
Zhou Xiuran was stunned, and his face was somewhat stiff as he analyzed every word in his words.
At this moment, Chen Yao, who had her back to them, had just turned from gloomy to cheerful when she heard Pei Shuo's blunt words.
Her heart couldn't help but tighten, she was really afraid that Zhou Xiuran would notice something ambiguous and say something shocking next.
Pei Shuo is really... honest, worthy of being... the person she likes.
Zhou Xiuran's brows had begun to furrow slightly, and some strange guesses emerged in his mind, but he felt that those guesses were too absurd.
So, he reluctantly suppressed the strange guesses in his mind and said dryly: "Oh, so that's how it is..."
Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. After preparing herself mentally, she quietly got out of bed as if nothing had happened. She walked towards them and said to Pei Shuo with a smile, "Doctor Pei, thank you for taking care of it for me. How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Pei Shuo's expression froze, and he said, "It's not much money, no need to transfer it to me."
Zhou Xiuran finally felt relieved when he saw that they didn't seem to be very intimate.
Pei Shuo left after not staying for long.
After a while, Zhou Xiuran also had a dinner party, so he said goodbye to Shen Yao and left.
After he left, Chen Yao silently took out her cell phone and sent a message to Pei Shuo.
[Chen Yao: Doctor Pei, the dessert is delicious, thank you.]
[Chen Yao: Also, I said that to prevent my uncle from thinking too much, so please don't mind.]
About a minute later, there was a reply.
【Pei Shuo: It’s okay, I don’t mind.】
[Pei Shuo: If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time.]
Chen Yao tightened her grip on the phone, and a tingling sensation like an electric shock suddenly surged through her heart.
It's over. Pei Shuo is even better and more... seductive than she imagined.
......
That night, Chen Yao went to bed earlier than usual.
But perhaps because of the influence of what happened during the day, she actually dreamed of Pei Shuo.
Pei Shuo in the dream was just as charming as he was in reality. He looked cold and abstinent, but when he looked at her, his eyes were gentle and focused, enough to melt all her deliberateness and carelessness into a pool of soft water.
She couldn't help herself, she stretched out her hands forcefully and with an irresistible meaning, hooked them around him, and kissed him passionately.
After the lingering and long kiss, she woke up and looked at the sunlight pouring in from the window in a daze, her expression a little dazed.
It was only when her aunt saw that she had woken up and came over to ask her if she was hungry and if she wanted to have breakfast right away that her eyes refocused and she sat up in bed and said softly, "Eat, I'll go wash up now."
