Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Who is afraid?
Fu Rouyun fell silent and subconsciously stood at attention.
The delicate branches trembled under the impact of external force, and the petals scattered all over the ground.
In the cemetery with dull black and gray tones, it is a bright color that is quite impactful.
Yan Pei was caught off guard and unprepared, stumbling back a few steps. When he looked up again, there were several fresh cuts on his face, oozing blood. Because there was dew on the flower, one or two petals were stuck to his skin.
Although the thorns of roses have been trimmed, the remaining thorn roots are still sharp and can still hurt people.
Yan Pei panted and laughed with a cruel look.
"Are you his dog?" He said this to Fu Rouyun. "You have to report everything you do. What? Are you afraid I'll hurt you?"
Fu Rouyun couldn't bear it anymore and ran up to block Cen Xue, just like a few months ago in the corridor of the photography base.
He retorted, "You're talking like you don't want to separate me and my brother. Do you think I would believe that kind of provocation?"
Yan Pei's credit was bankrupt from the very beginning.
Of course, Yan Pei himself hadn't anticipated Cen Xue's ability to tame Fu Rouyun so well. The so-called plan had failed from the outset, but it would have been nice to see Cen Xue's reaction.
He now prides himself on being sober, and looks at the person in front of him from the perspective of a bystander. He simply feels that Fu Rouyun is hopeless.
What he needs to do now is to help himself completely break free from the vortex of taming rules.
Yan Pei secretly bit his tongue to stop himself from getting too excited.
His eyes wandered uncontrollably between the two of them, passing Fu Rouyun, and Cen Xue's eyes, which were only visible behind his shoulder, made it even more difficult to look away.
It's still the same, as if the eyebrows and eyes are covered by a thin mist.
It was impossible to see clearly—pity? Yan Pei thought of Cen Xue's definition of her feelings for him, and felt like laughing in sarcasm. It was clearly very cold, wasn't it?
However, in the occasional moment when the eyelashes are lowered, one can capture the fragility revealed.
Yan Pei was stunned. Why was he so eager to discover it?
Many things flashed through his mind in an instant, and Zhang Jiaze's words were particularly clear: If you love him, you have to go along with him, and give him whatever he likes, and cater to his preferences, do you understand?
You know shit.
Did he not give in? Did he not control his temper? He didn't appreciate being given the center position in the talent show and was even called a mother-loving man. He also refused to accept the song he offered when the company was in trouble, not to mention the denial of all his efforts - but Yan Pei also had a questioning voice in his heart. Was Cen Xue supposed to like him?
If you like him, you won't argue with him all the time.
Perhaps it was the slap from Rose that caused him to feel dizzy again. His mind was in a mess and he shook his head nervously.
Then, when he lowered his head, Yan Pei saw sporadic raindrops falling on the ground.
It's going to rain.
Looking up, Yan Pei hid his unknown struggle and confusion very well. He put his hatred for Cen Xue - if that could be considered hatred - in the forefront.
He pointed behind Fu Rouyun and said, "Don't you want to know how this person sees you?"
"You're not interested in who he's looking through you? I found him for you, don't you want to meet him?"
"Yan Pei, shut up!"
When Fu Rouyun heard his topic, he really panicked.
He had always known that if they really wanted to settle accounts, he and Cen Xue still had a problem that could not be ignored - such as the unknown person standing between them and in front of him.
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, Cen Xue confessed his mistake while drunk. Fu Rouyun was a little angry at first, but when she saw his tears, she was prepared to do whatever he wanted as long as he was happy, so she endured it.
As for what happened after he made his feelings clear, that was even more of a situation.
It was a good thing that Cen Xue was willing to accept his pursuit. It was a rare and precious gift falling from the sky. As for how Cen Xue looked at him, Fu Rouyun no longer cared.
He even had a vague idea of just letting it pass quietly. Time will always replace the shadow, won't it?
But now Yan Pei said he found that person.
Fu Rouyun immediately looked around nervously, and started to refute at random, "You are sick, meeting someone in a cemetery."
He reached back and grabbed Cen Xue's wrist tightly, fearing that he would follow that man.
Yan Pei sneered and said, "Who said he was a living person?"
Fu Rouyun: "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think you can be more powerful than a dead person?" Yan Pei looked at him. "Besides, Cen Xue's feelings for that person aren't—"
Cen Xue finally interrupted him.
He said, "Ruyun, so you already knew this?"
Fu Rouyun felt like he was no longer a human being. If he went back, Yan Pei would bully Cen Xue again. If he didn't leave, he might face being abandoned by Cen Xue.
After all, the main meal is here, who would eat meal replacements?
He was about to speak when his eyes closed in fear at the precise sound of water drops falling from the sky. It turned out that the rain was getting heavier.
The words on the tip of my tongue turned into: "Brother, it's raining, let's go back to the car and ignore him."
Cen Xue said, "Then go back to the car and wait for me."
Fu Rouyun: "But——"
Cen Xue: "Go back!"
Cen Xue was angry with him.
Fu Rouyun was stunned. You know, when Cen Xue was tutoring him before and found out that he got 6 points in math, she was not so angry.
He didn't dare go back. He was afraid that Cen Xue would not come back. He had driven her here, but she left alone. That was extremely miserable.
"Brother, I don't know what he means by coming here, nor do I know who he wants to see," he said in a panic, "It's raining, let's go back first, otherwise we will catch a cold——"
No one can interfere with what Cen Xue has decided.
He is stubborn by nature, but it has been mitigated by the setbacks he suffered at the age of eighteen and the hardships of life. He is easy-going most of the time, but when he becomes stubborn, he is doubly difficult to deal with.
Standing in front of Fu Rouyun, he was unprecedentedly strong and cold.
"Let me ask you," he said, certain that Fu Rouyun already knew about the substitute, "what do you think?"
Fu Rouyun subconsciously followed his thoughts. What were his thoughts?
…But no matter what I think, the person in front of me is so fascinating.
Why is a cold face so attractive?
The pheromone of love soothed Fu Rouyun a little, and he made up his mind and said, "I have been prepared for a long time. The most important person to you is also the most important person to me. I am not afraid of knowing it."
Then he saw a look of being struck on Cen Xue's face.
This made Fu Rouyun want to kill Yan Pei, it was all his fault.
Unexpectedly, Cen Xue gave him a push. Because they were on a slope, one step back meant five or six steps down.
Fu Rouyun was bewildered. This wasn't right! Why did they still want him to leave?!
Cen Xue waved at him: "Go back and get me an umbrella."
Fu Rouyun remembered what Cen Xue had said to him in the company, asking him to be obedient and she would explain it to him later.
This is equivalent to a promise to come back.
Fu Rouyun: “…Okay, okay!” He comforted himself and chose to go back to the car. If all else failed, he would go to the car to get an umbrella and then come back. He looked back every few steps as he backed away.
Yan Pei cursed inwardly for a few words, but it was unclear what he was saying, but he was complaining about why Fu Rouyun listened to everything.
He said sharply, "Cen Xue, you weren't afraid when you were lying, and you weren't afraid when you teamed up with Yan Zijiao, but now you're not afraid?"
"Really? You think I'm scared?"
Cen Xue carried the bouquet of broken flowers and walked forward step by step.
The flower was already very pitiful. A slight shake would cause petals to fall. Cen Xue responded to Yan Pei's question: "Who is afraid?"
"Isn't it you? You're afraid that I won't love you, afraid that I'll give you alms—"
Coming in front of Yan Pei, Cen Xue raised his hand, but this time Yan Pei was prepared and blocked his arm from swinging down again.
Cen Xue smiled at him without any emotion, and the next second, she slapped him hard with her bare hands.
Bang!
The record of the loudest and hardest slap Yan Pei ever received in history has been revealed.
Who would have known that the last record was more than ten minutes ago.
The force was so strong that he was thrown headfirst, his feet loosened, and he fell backwards. Because Cen Xue's hand was grabbed by him, she was also pulled in the same direction. The two of them staggered. Cen Xue threw away the bouquet, grabbed Yan Pei's collar and pressed him to the ground.
Yan Pei was always stronger than him, and soon the two of them reversed their positions.
The constant noise attracted the gravekeeper, a wizened old man, who came running over with a hoarse breath: "No trouble here!"
"Did you hear that?" Cen Xue raised her knee and nudged him, "Get up."
Yan Pei snorted coldly, stared at him for several seconds, and then let go.
The gravekeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's talk it over."
Cen Xue stood up, patted herself, and said, "Don't worry, we were just talking."
If a fight really breaks out, he can't stop it.
He found Cen Xue somewhat familiar. The gravekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Be quiet and don't disturb others."
There was no one else, but everyone in this area was fast asleep.
Only after the gravekeeper returned to his own pavilion did Cen Xue have time to look at Yan Pei.
The man was still gasping for breath, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he couldn't calm down. It seemed that Cen Xue had let him down.
I said I didn't love him, and this is what happened.
Cen Xue was a size smaller than him, but when they looked at each other like this, he actually felt like he was looking down on her from a superior position.
Cen Xue said, "Yan Pei, I really spoiled you too much."
"If you want to know, just ask me. What's the point of provoking others for you?"
Cen Xue shook her head, her tone slowing down, but every word she said was more piercing than the last. "You saw me coming out of Yan Zijiao's house? Then let me tell you something. Yan Zijiao and I have known each other for seven years. He was the one who drove me home the night Xu Lin died. You wanted to investigate Yan Zijiao, but you didn't get to this point?"
Yan Pei... Yan Pei doesn't remember.
He really wasn't conscious anymore.
It's not that he deliberately forgot to remember. Anyone who was imprisoned like that and cut off from all external contact would go crazy. His past memories would be in chaos for a long time, and he wouldn't be able to find a few key pieces if he missed them. But when he wanted to retrieve them, he couldn't find them at all.
Yan Pei held his head, hummed, and pressed his temples with his thumb.
It hurts so much that I feel like I'm going to explode.
In his red vision, he saw Cen Xue's soft eyes again, but after Cen Xue's verification, he knew that it was just pity for him.
Why are you pitying him again?
Cen Xue's voice drifted over, somewhat distorted: "Don't you remember why you were confined?"
The noise grew louder and the rain finally began to fall.
But after a while, both of them were soaked.
Cen Xue had a lot of tangled hair on her forehead, so he pulled it back, revealing her smooth head. He looked up at the sky and said, "It's raining."
It rained so heavily that day too.
Cen Xue walked past him and headed up the stairs, which led to Xu Lin's tomb.
