Pei Zhiting's voice was hoarse, "Explain."
"What's there to explain?" Song Xijiao said stubbornly, "I'm just hungry and want to cook something to eat."
Pei Zhiting looked serious and said "Oh" in a drawn-out tone.
"So you like to eat these."
“…”
She looked up, met his deep eyes, and instantly became intimidated.
"It's okay to eat it occasionally."
Pei Zhiting looked at her timid appearance and couldn't help but chuckle. He pinched her soft cheeks and said with a low laugh.
"I didn't say you can't eat it."
Song Xijiao was confused, "Then what do you want me to explain?"
Pei Zhiting lowered his head and moved closer to her, closing the distance between them. Their shallow breaths mingled together. He stretched out his hand and pointed at her chest.
"this."
"This... this is something every girl can do. It's just like taking off your tie as soon as you walk in. Even the most comfortable underwear will get a little tight after wearing it for a long time. I'm just letting go of my instincts."
Pei Zhiting's hand fell on her shoulder, his thumb pressing on the mole on her collarbone. The lovely soul wrapped in the professional suit was now displayed in front of him without reservation.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he uttered a low "hmm" in a dragging, hoarse tone.
"How was the liberation of nature that day?"
She smelled the faint scent of ebony on him, like the soothing scent in a temple, but at this moment, it made her inexplicably nervous.
"Yet, you're back before the liberation is complete."
"You're too close to me."
It was too close and she was nervous.
Not only did Pei Zhiting not retreat, he took another step forward, almost pushing Song Xijiao against the wall.
He lowered his head, put his thin lips close to her ear, and spoke in a whisper.
"Jiaojiao, we are husband and wife."
"But...but...you're too close to me. I really...can't breathe."
Her voice was shaking.
Pei Zhiting teased her deliberately, "I didn't kiss you, why are you short of breath?"
Song Xijiao tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Love is sincere. When you get close to me, my heart starts beating irregularly. It tells me that I like you, I just like you."
Pei Zhiting was stunned.
He never expected Song Xijiao to say this.
He lowered his head, and the tip of his nose touched the tip of her nose, kissing her lightly.
Song Xijiao's heart was beating fast, and she was even prepared for Pei Zhiting to kiss her.
In the end, he did nothing, stood up straight, turned and left.
Pulling her to sit on the sofa, he opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of spicy food hit her face. He took a pair of clean chopsticks, picked up some dried tofu, and fed it to her mouth.
"Haven't you finished eating yet?"
Song Xijiao opened her mouth subconsciously. The dried tofu had just been cooked and was very hot. She was gulping. Pei Zhiting took the water cup and handed it to her mouth. She gulped down a big gulp before swallowing it.
Pei Zhiting looked at her with amusement, picked up another piece of dried tofu, blew on it this time, and then fed it to her mouth.
Song Xijiao ate while stealing glances at Pei Zhiting.
He has a very beautiful bone structure and is extremely handsome whether from the front or the side.
At this moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and was concentrating on picking up food for her. His cold and hard jawline softened a little.
He was so handsome, so handsome that she wanted to hide him from others.
"You are so good-looking, but there are no girls chasing you?" She suddenly asked after swallowing the sour bamboo shoots in her mouth.
Pei Zhiting paused while picking up the food and looked at her.
"No, people in our circle aren't that boring. Except for a select few, their families have chosen their partners since they were young. They go to the same school to foster their relationship, and by the time they reach legal marriage age, they're already in love, right?"
"Of course... If you want to escape this fixed pattern, you must be strong, strong enough to stand on your own, so that your family won't interfere too much."
"If you pursue true love when you're not strong enough, you'll be caught between a rock and a hard place, hurting yourself and the person you love."
"Then...what if the person you like is already married to someone else when you become powerful?"
Song Xijiao didn't know why she asked this.
Pei Zhiting's eyes hid a faint smile as he answered her question slowly.
"I believe that to truly love someone is to protect their happiness and peace, live their own lives well, bless them silently, and not disturb each other. If you can't bless them, then at least don't disturb them."
Song Xijiao suddenly thought of a sentence.
Liking is indulgence, loving is restraint.
She suddenly looked up at him and said, "Pei Zhiting, do you have a white moonlight that you can't get in love with?"
Pei Zhiting was stunned. He lowered his head and met her clear eyes.
For some reason, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"I'm... just expressing my opinion. Throughout history, there have been many love tragedies. They happen when people want more and more, but are unwilling to work hard to change the rules. This is what leads to tragedy."
"Either you become someone who breaks and changes the rules, or you become someone who follows the rules. You can't ask someone who follows the rules to break the rules they set for you. That would be too cruel and too selfish."
When he was eighteen years old, Pei Zhonghuan, like most parents, arranged a match for him, sent them abroad to study, and got them married when they returned.
He doesn't want to.
He got a passport without telling Pei Zhonghuan.
He opened his safe, wrote a promissory note, took the money, his passport and other identification documents and left the country.
When Pei Zhonghuan saw that only 100,000 yuan of cash was missing from the safe, he almost laughed out of anger.
