Chapter 136 if-Pei Route (10): Swimsuit Senior
Yun Zhan stood outside the tightly closed glass doors of the swimming pool, his figure somewhat blurred by the frosted mist.
She had just had a fight with Pei Yanxi, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that she might have gone a bit too far... In the end, she was the one who provoked Pei Yanxi first.
He licked her fingers, and then secretly arranged to meet her... Yun Zhan knew he was in the wrong.
"Don't be afraid, it's just about smoothing things over with your senior." 21 cheered her on from the side.
"Your senior really likes you, you know that? Go in and talk to her nicely now, she'll definitely be very happy."
Always having a forgiving heart towards loved ones, 21 recently read a book and started sharing it at length: "The book I read, '100 Rules of Love,' says that if couples who are arguing still like each other, they should take the initiative to reconcile. The other person will feel very sweet and happy, feeling that you care about them..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Yun Zhan had a terrible headache, so he told it to shut up.
We haven't even started talking yet, and we're already saying all this.
Moreover, she only apologized. She still stood her ground; anyway, she was going home.
"Actually, I think things are really awkward between you two... If you don't like how I treat you, just say so. I like you, and I'll make changes for you..."
21 recalled its previous conversation with Pei Yanxi. It believed that Pei Yanxi wanted to reshape Yun Zhan's personality and turn Yun Zhan into an object under her wing. It once thought that was a very dangerous idea.
On the contrary, she loved Yun Zhan very much. It could be said that Pei Yanxi was so crazy that she would do anything for Yun Zhan.
It's fine once you talk it out.
The senior is aloof to outsiders, but passionately devoted to Yun Zhan. She is rich, powerful, and loyal. She is the only daughter of the Pei family, became a board member of a prestigious university at the age of 19, and has an exceptional figure and appearance. How could she not be a suitable girlfriend?
"It's obviously perfect for me, isn't it?..." 21 thought to herself and finally blurted out what was on her mind.
"I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't want to listen now."
Yun Zhan placed her hand on the doorknob; she knew Pei Yanxi was inside, and had been for a long time...
The smell in the air, a mixture of disinfectant and moisture, seemed to have become unusual because of that person's presence, carrying a faint, cool fragrance belonging to Pei Yanxi.
Shall we go in?
This thought lingered in Yun Zhan's mind.
Going in now would be unwise; the other person is still showering, and I should just rush in...
But the undercurrent of emotion was also eroding Yun Zhan's rationality. She suddenly remembered Pei Yanxi's slightly lonely expression when she watched her leave, and a nameless worry wrapped around her heart like vines.
Through a small transparent section of the door, she could only see the deep blue water in the pool, as calm as a huge gemstone, without a ripple.
It's too quiet, so quiet it's unsettling.
Yun Zhan raised his hand, then lowered it, his fingertips hovering over the cold metal doorknob, hesitant.
Perhaps... if we wait a little longer, Pei Yanxi will come out on her own.
She told herself this, trying to convince herself to turn and leave.
"Thump!"
A clear splash came from inside the door without warning, like something heavy falling into the water.
In that instant, Yun Zhan's mind went blank. She didn't even have time to think; her body's instincts reacted before her thoughts could process them.
"Pei Yanxi!"
Yun Zhan took a half step back and used all his strength to slam his shoulder into the glass door.
"Bang."
The loud crash echoed through the empty corridor.
The door lock was torn off by brute force, and Yun Zhan staggered inside, nearly slipping on the wet tiles with his slippers.
The stillness of the pool, which had just been broken, was slowly returning, with ripples spreading outwards. There was a small wooden box in the pool.
Pei Yanxi's figure was suspended in the center of the pool, slowly sinking to the bottom.
Her limbs were naturally stretched out, and her long, black hair spread out in the clear water, swaying gently with the undercurrent.
The light cast by the water was refracted into irregular bright spots, moving across her closed face and smooth skin. She showed no signs of struggling and was unusually quiet, as if she had simply fallen asleep in the azure water, completely unaware of her sinking.
"Pei Yanxi, can you still hear me?!"
A suffocating fear gripped Yun Zhan's heart. She didn't even think about why Pei Yanxi was like this; the only thought in her mind was to pull her out.
"Damn it... how could someone drown at home?"
"Splash!"
Without hesitation, Yun Zhan jumped into the icy pool. Water splashed everywhere, instantly soaking her pajamas. The fabric clung tightly to her body, and a biting chill swept over her from all directions. She hurriedly swam toward the sinking figure.
Yun Zhan felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat. When she climbed to Pei Yanxi's side, the silent figure in the center of the pool moved without warning.
With a splash, water sprayed everywhere.
Pei Yanxi stood up from the water with swift and graceful movements. The water was just waist-deep, and water droplets slid down her delicate collarbone, flat stomach, and long legs. Her neck was long and her waist was slender. The black bikini clung to her, making her skin look even whiter under the lights, like the finest mutton fat jade.
She shook her head, and water droplets splashed like shattered diamonds.
When she looked up at Yun Zhan, who was in a panic, a brief look of surprise flashed in her clear eyes.
But that astonishment lasted only a moment.
The next second, the corners of her lips slowly curved upwards, revealing a graceful smile.
There was a hint of mockery in her smile. She had seen through Yun Zhan. Her smile was like that of a bewitching enchantress, beautiful yet dangerous.
Pei Yanxi casually brushed a strand of wet hair stuck to her cheek behind her ear. This unintentional movement carried a lazy sexiness. Barefoot, she walked step by step through the water to Yun Zhan's side, tilted her head up, and cupped Yun Zhan's stiff face in her wet hands.
The touch of his cool fingertips on her equally delicate and hot skin sent a shiver down Yun Zhan's spine.
"This is my home, how could I die in my own home? But you..."
Pei Yanxi looked into her still-shaken eyes, parted her red lips slightly, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice with a hint of triumphant laughter: "So worried about me?"
Didn't you say before... you would never be with me?
Yun Zhan was awakened by the coldness of her fingertips. She slapped Pei Yanxi's hand away abruptly, her voice urgent: "What are you trying to do in the water?!"
Yun Zhan almost roared, her eyes reddening. She was angry, then frightened: "What do you mean at home... This is different, there can be danger at home too!"
Yun Zhan's reaction was somewhat unexpected for Pei Yanxi. She had expected to see him become angry or awkwardly avoid her, but she did not expect such pure and intense concern.
The playfulness on her face faded a bit, and her tone softened as well: "I'm fine. It was just that the first-aid kit I left by the pool fell down."
After speaking, Pei Yanxi's gaze unconsciously drifted down her body.
Water droplets were still sliding down her skin. The black bikini fabric was minimal, making her skin appear even whiter than snow. Every curve of her body was exposed to the light and Yun Zhan's gaze, exuding a damp and wild beauty.
She immediately looked up at the person in front of her. Yun Zhan was still wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts, his hair was a little messy, and the look of shock on his face had not completely faded. He was staring straight at her, his eyes filled with anger, worry, and a trace of... an intense heat that she herself was unaware of and could not look away from.
Um……
Pei Yanxi silently responded in her heart.
Her little friend just barged in without any warning.
And this was probably the sexiest I had ever dressed in front of her.
A thought quietly rose in Pei Yanxi's mind, with a touch of mischievous fun.
The curve of her lips deepened again, this time with a more profound and meaningful quality to her smile.
Instead of trying to hide it, she deliberately took another step closer, her warm breath almost touching Yun Zhan's lips. She asked slowly in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.
Is it pretty?
"ah?"
Yun Zhan then realized as if waking from a dream that he had been staring at the other person's body for so long.
The heat instantly spread from his neck to his ears. Yun Zhan took a step back, his gaze frantically shifting elsewhere, not daring to look at Pei Yanxi again.
This woman... is she a vixen? I'm so worried about her, how can she say such teasing things?
"Senior is practically a succubus, that figure...tsk tsk tsk, you're so lucky." 21 watched with great interest, wanting to watch more.
"N-nothing's wrong...I just...I'm going out!"
Yun Zhan was incoherent and turned to flee this absurd and troublesome place.
However, as soon as she turned around, her wrist was gently grasped by a slightly cool hand.
The force wasn't great, but it was enough to prevent her from breaking free.
Pei Yanxi's voice came softly from behind, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance and inquiry: "Why don't you want to look at me?"
This question struck Yun Zhan squarely.
"I can't bear to look!"
The three words slipped out, carrying a truth she herself wasn't even aware of.
This was almost an instinctive answer, revealing her inner panic and wavering.
She regretted it as soon as she said it; wasn't that tantamount to admitting that she felt guilty?
Yun Zhan immediately stiffened his neck and stubbornly added, "I mean... there's nothing I'm afraid to look at! It's just... just like that!"
She spoke toughly, but her evasive eyes and bright red ears betrayed her completely.
She thought she had concealed it well, but little did she know how adorable that fierce yet cowardly appearance was in Pei Yanxi's eyes.
Pei Yanxi saw through her embarrassment and shyness, but instead of letting her go, she slowly pressed herself against Yun Zhan's back. The cool, damp skin pressed against Yun Zhan's burning back through the thin fabric, making her stiffen all over.
Pei Yanxi gently rested her chin on Yun Zhan's shoulder, turned her face, and her warm breath brushed against Yun Zhan's ear. Her voice was low and ambiguous, continuing to tease her already fragile defenses:
"Oh? You don't want to watch, or... are you embarrassed to watch?"
