Chapter 138 IF - Pei Line (12): Being Your Girlfriend for One Night
As evening fell, Yun Zhan was awakened by a knock on the door. The moment she opened it, she almost thought she had mistaken the person for someone else.
Pei Yanxi stood at the door wearing thick-soled boots. Her long, black hair was styled into French curls and casually draped over her shoulders, highlighting her bright and beautiful face.
She was wearing makeup, and her makeup was exquisite, especially her full, fiery red lips, which made her skin look as white as snow and gave her a cold and alluring appearance.
"Senior, this outfit suits you very well." Yun Zhan's eyes revealed appreciation. Pei Yanxi's outfit reminded her of the first time she saw Pei Yanxi.
"Really? So you like this kind of thing..."
Pei Yanxi wore a sleek black short leather jacket paired with a high-waisted black and gray plaid mini skirt, perfectly blending cool elegance with sexiness. What was most captivating were her long, slender legs encased in sheer black stockings, gleaming softly under the light, extending into a pair of simple stiletto heels—every line exuding a fatal allure.
Beautiful and sophisticated, this is the perfect look for Pei Yanxi.
"If I like it, then I'll wear it like this from now on."
Pei Yanxi leaned against the door frame, taking in all of Yun Zhan's subtle expressions. She was quite happy, a playful smile curving her red lips: "If we keep watching, we'll be late."
"No, and you don't need to dress like this all the time... I was just thinking about you from before."
Yun Zhan snapped out of his daze, his face flushing.
That wasn't what she meant... But thinking about it carefully, what Pei Yanxi said didn't seem wrong. When she first met Pei Yanxi, she was stunned by her beauty, and Yun Zhan had never forgotten that scene...
That day, Pei Yanxi was also wearing a short skirt. The cat-like beauty stood in front of her with her hands folded, looking down at her with her head tilted up. The moment their eyes met, Yun Zhan trembled with nervousness.
"So, do you like me now, or me before?" Pei Yanxi moved closer to her, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes as she lowered them. Whether she liked her now or before, as long as she liked her, it was good...
She no longer has many ambitions, has little dating experience, and doesn't know how to properly cater to someone's preferences. She only knows how to clumsily seduce the person she likes by dressing sexy and beautiful, as suggested in books.
Even if she does end up dating Yun Zhan, she will still feel uneasy. She will worry that she is not good enough, that Yun Zhan will not like her in the future, and that she will not know how to make Yun Zhan like her more.
In addition, since Yun Zhan's mind was always on the mission, Pei Yanxi felt that she would definitely overthink things in the future and then think that Yun Zhan didn't like her that much and was neglecting her because of the mission.
Everyone is susceptible to such thoughts. Pei Yanxi didn't turn around, but secretly glanced at her reflection in the glass window out of the corner of her eye. If only they could be together...
Pei Yanxi's car was parked outside the villa, and they had to walk over.
It's late now, and the air around us is a bit chilly.
They walked one after the other, with lonely streetlights standing on both sides of the street. The dim light fell on Pei Yanxi's back, casting only her shadow.
Yun Zhan lowered her eyes to look at the ground; their figures did not overlap.
Yun Zhan raised her eyes again, and for the first time, she began to seriously observe Pei Yanxi.
Pei Yanxi walked steadily, her high heels clicking on the empty street, making a crisp, lonely echo. Yun Zhan followed behind, watching her tall and slender figure stretched out by the lamplight.
With just one glance, Yun Zhan felt as if he had seen the first half of her life.
For the first time, she began to think about Pei Yanxi's life, trying to understand her and feel her feelings.
Pei was the loneliest person she had ever met. There was no one to share her joys and sorrows with, no one to talk to about everyday life. From the past to the present, from day to night, there was no one behind her and no one beside her.
Pei Yanxi just felt a little cold. She took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of white mist. She was already used to being alone.
“Actually, I don’t really like it when people stand behind me.” Pei Yanxi suddenly spoke, turning to look at Yun Zhan who was lagging behind.
"Why?" A suffocating pain welled up in Yun Zhan's heart, and Pei Yanxi's back was reflected in his eyes.
“Because the people standing behind me often get me into trouble…” Pei Yanxi paused, seemingly realizing that saying it that way was inappropriate, so she added, “I wasn’t talking about you, don’t misunderstand…”
Pei Yanxi stopped and turned back to take Yun Zhan's hand. To her surprise, Yun Zhan took her hand instead.
The warm fingernails brushed against Pei Yanxi's palm. Yun Zhan's hands were warm, warmer than hers. Yun Zhan buried his face in his scarf, quietly turned his head away, and said nothing more.
Pei Yanxi's eyes lit up slightly; this seemed to be the first time Yun Zhan had taken the initiative to hold her hand.
"The dinner party tonight," Pei Yanxi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
She turned her head to look at Yun Zhan. Her eyes, which usually carried a sense of control, were now covered with a thin layer of mist, losing all their sharpness.
Pei Yanxi softened her voice, a hint of expectation in her tone: "Can you be my girlfriend?"
Yun Zhan's heart skipped a beat. Before he could process the information in those words, he heard Pei Yanxi add a sentence in a very soft voice.
"They all have girlfriends."
Pei Yanxi's voice lowered, carrying a barely perceptible hint of grievance: "I didn't..."
That last word, with its slight tremor at the end, landed with unparalleled precision on the softest spot in Yun Zhan's heart.
Yun Zhan lowered her head and answered almost without thinking.
"good."
"Be my girlfriend for one night."
"Can you hug me?" Pei Yanxi, wearing thick-soled leather boots, was slightly taller than Yun Zhan. She squatted down and looked at Yun Zhan with expectant eyes like a kitten.
She looked aggrieved, yet kind of cute.
Yun Zhan coughed lightly, his face flushed, and then quietly hugged Pei Yanxi.
"Can you say you like me?" Pei Yanxi pressed her advantage, softening her voice as she continued to express her desire.
"I like you."
Yun Zhan's heart pounded like thunder. Was he saying those words to Pei Yanxi... or to himself?
"That's such a perfunctory response..."
"No, I meant it very seriously." Yun Zhan lowered her head. She was naturally reserved and rarely spoke such things; she couldn't bring herself to say it loudly...
"Could you say it again? I'll record it." Pei Yanxi quietly took out her phone from her bag and pressed the record button. She wanted to save the sentence.
"Don't record, I'll... be shy."
Yun Zhan sighed softly. She was shy and didn't want to repeat herself since they were only girlfriends for one night.
"When we get home, can you say it to me again? Your voice is so beautiful, I love it when you say you love me." Pei Yanxi didn't force her. She carefully observed Yun Zhan's reaction and guessed in her heart: Yun Zhan is probably a little wavering now.
The more things were like this, the less she could be impatient. For the first time, Pei Yanxi remained patient when dealing with things Yun Zhan disliked. If Yun Zhan didn't like her, she would seduce him, leading him to experience her. If Yun Zhan was just shy, then she would devise one gentle trap after another, slowly drawing him in and making him confront his own feelings.
Pei Yanxi's eyes were deep. She slowly pulled away from Yun Zhan's embrace, her lips gently brushing against Yun Zhan's cheek.
Such a small action caused Yun Zhan to cover his face immediately.
She knew that Pei Yanxi was probably doing it on purpose. How should she put it... her senior said she had never been in a relationship, but Yun Zhan was starting to doubt it. In some ways, her senior didn't seem like a complete novice when it came to love.
Mature, reliable, and adept at flirting, her slightly parted red lips are simply irresistible.
Although Yun Zhan only agreed to be her girlfriend for one night, the subtle atmosphere between them didn't seem like a limited relationship at all. Pei Yanxi was extremely kind to her, standing beside her and shielding her from the side breeze. Whenever their eyes met, the senior would always look at her tenderly, her eyes filled with bright love.
So this is what it feels like to be in a relationship...
They got into the car, and ten minutes later, the black sedan stopped in front of the most luxurious nightclub in the capital.
The car door opened, and a long, straight leg emerged first, its black boots drawing an arc in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Yanxi bent down and stepped forward.
Just as she straightened up, the night breeze blew in her face at the perfect moment. The wind was gentle, carrying the unique scent of the moonlit night, and it softly curled her slightly permed long hair. A few strands of hair brushed against her forehead and cheeks, both concealing and revealing, adding a touch of lazy yet deadly sexiness.
The wind continued downwards, gently lifting a corner of her black plaid skirt. The hem fluttered slightly, revealing a dazzlingly white leg, before falling back down, leaving endless room for imagination.
At that moment, even the wind seemed to be captivated by her beauty.
The security guards at the entrance, who were used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, were completely stunned, their hands holding walkie-talkies frozen in mid-air.
A few seconds later, they panicked: "President Pei is here! Quickly grab an umbrella and go greet him!"
It's not just them.
Drivers on the roadside near the nightclub, and even pedestrians across the street... countless eyes seemed to be drawn by a magnet, instantly focusing on this point.
The noisy background sounds seemed to disappear, and under the colorful neon lights, Pei Yanxi stood there casually. With a glance and a gesture of tidying her hair, she became the absolute focus of attention in the bustling city.
She effortlessly stole everyone's breath.
Including Yun Zhan in the car.
