Chapter 32 A Vicious Aura
Pei Ci's pupils suddenly contracted.
These are Lu Ran's lips.
This is a kiss.
Lu Ran was kissing her.
Pei Ci froze upon realizing this, but this very moment gave Lu Ran an opportunity.
Lu Ran's heart raced.
They kissed.
They really kissed.
But that's not enough.
His relaxed lips and teeth were easily pried open, and Lu Ran's soul trembled as they touched the warmth.
It smells good.
How can this be? It feels so good.
Ah Ci.
I love you so much.
I like you so much.
Their lips pressed together uttered indistinct sounds, their rough hands ran through their hair, caressing the strands, yet still yearning for an even closer embrace.
When her palm was wrapped around the hot, throbbing scar on her abdomen, Pei Ci felt her scalp tingle.
Her misty eyes stared at Lu Ran in disbelief.
Lu Ran was looking at her.
He kept looking at her.
Her face, slightly flushed, was frozen in a daze.
Those dark eyes seemed to connect with the endless night, trying to suck her in.
No.
This shouldn't be the case.
This situation shouldn't be out of control.
With a light sheen of sweat on her skin, the young woman regained her composure. Suddenly, she bit down hard on what was in her mouth, pushed hard at the moment the other person tensed up, and then raised her hand.
"Smack!"
She slapped Lu Ran hard across the face.
This is more serious than ever before.
Lu Ran braced himself on the ground with one hand, barely managing to steady himself. His chest expanded and contracted rapidly, his handsome face was turned to one side by the blow, and his tongue was bitten. Pei Ci showed no mercy, and a trickle of blood seeped from between his tightly closed lips.
Lu Ran took a sip, the crimson disappearing. He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing as the sweetness and pain from Pei Ci flowed into his abdomen.
Lu Ran felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
His eyes were just looking, looking at him...
fiancée.
They kissed.
She's practically his fiancée now.
Because his thoughts were absurd, Lu Ran looked at her cautiously, at her slightly flushed cheeks, at her heaving chest, and at the anger in her eyes.
He shouldn't have done that, but he's a bad guy tonight.
But perhaps to comfort himself, he whispered, "This is the last time."
Her feelings for him weren't very obvious.
But if you dislike having enough of it, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
So he moved closer again and took a deep, forceful kiss on her red, blood-stained lips.
This action made Pei Ci sway slightly, but Lu Ran gently steadied her.
Pei Ci then saw him clumsily tidying her dress and hair.
I don't know why my fingers are trembling.
Clumsy.
It's really useless.
As he reached to wipe away the blood that had accidentally stained the corner of her lips, Pei Ci turned her head and ruthlessly slapped his hand away, her beautiful face showing a listless expression. "You're so disobedient."
Lu Ran was surprised that she would speak, and nodded with his eyes downcast, "Mm."
You always make me angry.
"Um."
"You're going crazy again."
Lu Ran pursed his lips; this time he didn't respond. Because he had been perfectly sober the entire night.
Seeing the girl's disgusted expression, she lowered her eyelids and said, "I love you."
Because it is love.
Therefore, they are constrained and restricted.
He finally gave up on fixing her clothes and stood up. Thinking about it, he actually came out ahead. So he gave a slight smile, turned his back, and walked towards the door.
Dying at this moment is not impossible.
That's what he thought.
Pei Ci stared intently at Lu Ran's retreating figure, her brows furrowing even more deeply. But remembering her mission, she suppressed her temper.
“Come back,” she said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran's tall frame visibly paused, but he merely stood there, stunned.
“Come back,” she repeated.
Lu Ran has really come back this time.
If Lu Ran's previous madness was a reckless act of desperation, a "what's the use" mentality, Pei Ci's current attitude seems to offer room for maneuver.
Lu Ran frowned, his body tense, clearly showing some apprehension.
"What's wrong?" He didn't dare look at her.
"Weren't you doing quite well just now?" Pei Ci's tone was cool, with a hint of sarcasm.
But this is much better than the complete break Lu Ran had envisioned.
"That won't work now."
"no?"
Lu Ran's fierce face showed a frustrated expression, "...Hmm."
He could only rely on the pain to suppress the continuous stimulation rushing to his brain, so as not to appear too out of control.
Pei Ci was not averse to kissing; this was nothing compared to Lu Ran's annoyance at not completing his mission.
At this moment, she is analyzing her current situation.
First of all, Lu Ran cannot leave.
Secondly, Lu Ran must reconcile with Ye Qingyu.
As for how the two of them can reconcile?
Perhaps it was because she was being coaxed and appeased at the amusement park that day that she suddenly wondered why she was so anxious about this.
Isn't this something Lu Ran should be worried about?
Thinking of this, Pei Ci suddenly understood. She looked at Lu Ran with a deep gaze, "You're leaving?"
Lu Ran was taken aback and hummed in response. While he was still wondering why A-Ci had asked this question, he heard Pei Ci say coldly, "You're not allowed to leave."
Lu Ran froze, "But..."
"I don't care." Pei Ci cut off Lu Ran's words.
Seeing that Lu Ran remained silent, Pei Ci stared at him coldly, "I made a bet with Ye Qingyu that you would save her, but you ended up like this, and now you want to just walk away?"
"Have you never taken my words to heart?"
"I didn't!" Lu Ran said hurriedly.
After he finished speaking, he felt a slight choking. An unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind, and the high temperature in the room made his heart pound. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it because I failed to save Ye Qingyu... that you're angry?"
Pei Ci's watery eyes flashed with anger. "What do you think?"
silence.
The atmosphere froze at that moment.
Lu Ran felt like he was dreaming. As if afraid the dream would shatter, he asked softly, "You didn't faint because I went crazy...?"
“Lu Ran.” Pei Ci took a deep breath, her brows furrowing, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. “Do you remember why I asked you to come to the party?”
Lu Ran's expression changed.
Only at this moment did his thought process finally align with Pei Ci's.
He thought about it carefully and then remembered that Ah Ci had been saying that she had fainted from anger, not that she was afraid.
It was never because of fear.
He just messed things up.
The main issue was that he physically assaulted Ye Qingyu.
Why are you so concerned about Ye Qingyu?
The name he had almost forgotten these past few days resurfaced in Lu Ran's mind. And this feeling of disgust lingered. He still felt that Ye Qingyu harbored ill intentions. But soon he remembered two words from Pei Ci's words.
"A bet?" Lu Ran asked.
Seeing Lu Ran's reaction, Pei Ci seemed to realize that there was some misunderstanding between her and Lu Ran. Thinking about it carefully, when she talked to Lu Ran about the party, she only asked him to stop the bullying, without specifying a time.
Lu Ran, however, was unaware of the importance of this matter.
Pei Ci's face showed a faint hint of annoyance upon realizing this. However, what's done is done, and now all that can be done is to try to salvage the situation.
This time, she needs to make Lu Ran realize the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Ye Qingyu.
“Yes, Lu Ran.” Pei Ci looked intently at Lu Ran. “I told her that you have changed.”
“But your performance,” Pei Ci said, her lips pressed together, her face under the light like a goddess statue, pitying the world, “has disappointed me.”
Lu Ran was momentarily mesmerized.
But then a new doubt arose in my heart, and I couldn't suppress it.
"Why Ye Qingyu?" Lu Ran heard his own voice.
Pei Ci was also taken aback by Lu Ran's words.
Without a doubt, Lu Ran is a vicious dog. He has always been arrogant, willful, and lawless. He has never shown any kindness to those below his social class.
Now that Lu Ran and Ye Qingyu are at an irreconcilable point, she must make sure that Lu Ran genuinely wants to gain Ye Qingyu's forgiveness.
And the only thing that could make him obey...
Pei Ci lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed quietly on Lu Ran, the male protagonist of this world, before slowly saying, "Lu Ran, do you want me to die?"
Upon hearing these words, Pei Ci was pleased to see Lu Ran's pale face.
She never lied, but fortunately, she was always indifferent to emotions, so even if she did lie, it was no different from usual.
"Lu Ran." She called his name again, but rose from her chair, gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips lightly against his neck, whispering, "I had a dream that my fate was intertwined with Ye Qingyu's."
Pei Ci wasn't worried that Lu Ran wouldn't believe her.
Because Lu Ran has never been an atheist.
After saying this, Pei Ci gently intertwined her fingers with Lu Ran's. It was a very intimate gesture, and when she did it, the tips of Lu Ran's ears turned a steamed color.
To avoid repeating the mistake of last time, Pei Ci specifically said, "Lu Ran, you must sincerely earn Ye Qingyu's forgiveness..."
"Is it right?"
Pei Ci believed that she would receive a positive response this time as well.
"Um."
Lu Ran agreed.
He then gently kissed her ear.
*
Having resolved her task, Pei Ci was in high spirits. She had initially regretted coming to the garden party, finding it tedious and boring. But now, she found it quite alright.
After spending some time with Lu Ran, Pei Ci decided to go find Zhou Jiyue and Pei Ze.
Come to think of it, I was so busy being angry with Lu Ran that I completely forgot to tell the other two where I was going.
Pei Ci opened her phone and checked Zhou Jiyue's messages, only to find there was no reply.
At this moment, Pei Ci slowly realized the problem and asked Lu Ran directly, "Did you take Zhou Jiyue's phone?"
Lu Ran was taken aback. The idea of pretending to be a doll was Jing Lin's, and he was also responsible for arranging the cleanup afterwards. It was indeed strange that Zhou Jiyue hadn't come for so long. He nodded uncertainly, "Mm."
“I’m going out to find them,” Pei Ci said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran finally dared to express the jealousy he had been suppressing, saying, "That doctor has ill intentions towards you."
Pei Ci had always trusted Zhou Jiyue completely. Over the past three years, several doctors and nurses had confessed their feelings to her, but Zhou Jiyue had always remained unmoved.
They are the same kind of people.
A boring person.
“I’m just his patient,” Pei Ci said.
Just as they were talking, there was another knock on the door.
"Young Master Lu, Miss Pei, please open the door, I have urgent business to attend to—" This was the voice of the manager who brought them there.
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Ci heard his scream.
"Damn it, have they really gone too far?! My sister isn't someone you dare to have bad intentions towards!!"
"Where the hell is he?!"
Pei Ci's lips parted slightly, about to speak, when a "bang" was heard.
The door was violently forced open.
Under the cold, white light, Zhou Jiyue was holding a stool.
Zhou Jiyue is ruthless and devoid of desire, like a murderous god brimming with malice.
...and Pei Ze, who was a few steps away, was terrified and looked like a quail.
