Pei Yan still kept thinking about Xu Zhiyi's confession, which caused him to be in a bad state when cooking today.
"Brother Yan, hey hey hey! That's sugar!" Fang Hai saw him take out sugar from the seasoning jar and prepare to put it in the dish.
Pei Yan quickly stopped, found the salt and put it in again.
Pei Yan has always been a quiet person, but Fang Hai has known him for a few years and knows him to some extent.
I was muttering to myself, why is Brother Yan so absent-minded today?
After a long wait and a busy period, the new house banquet in the main hall began.
By the time Grandma Dong came over from next door, everyone was there.
If there is no wine, we use mint leaves picked from the riverside and add a little honey. The tea has a cool and sweet taste of mint.
After drinking, they started eating. The whole table of dishes was made by Pei Yan. Although there was a small accident, his cooking skills were still normal.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and there was laughter and joy at the table, which was something Xu Zhiyi could not experience at the educated youth camp.
But Pei Yan's eyes inadvertently fell on Xu Zhiyi's face frequently.
Xu Zhiyi had long noticed that Pei Yan was always looking at her, and she was not shy at all.
It’s just a confession, just take a look.
If I blush, I lose.
It seems that the older sister still can't eat young grass.
After a few times, Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but blush.
When Pei Yan looked over, she met his gaze and glared at him fiercely.
Pei Yan didn't think Xu Zhiyi was fierce. Her rosy and delicate face and shy eyes looked at him moistly, which stunned him.
The table is so small, and with only a few people here, it's easy to see who's doing what.
As the only person present who had experienced this, Grandma Dong had the most say.
However, she kept silent, eating melons in silence, oh no, eating in silence.
It looks like I'll have a granddaughter-in-law soon.
Fang Hai, who was not stupid at all, ate his meal actively. Seeing that Brother Yan had not started eating, he kindly reminded him to eat quickly.
After eating and cleaning up, Fang Hai and his sister went back.
Grandma Dong didn't wait for Pei Yan and went home slowly.
Pei Yan fell behind, but Xu Zhiyi still sent him to the door.
"Pei Yan, thank you for your help during this period. In the future...if you need any help from me, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."
The only time Xu Zhiyi took the initiative ended in failure. She didn't get the response she wanted, so naturally she couldn't accept Pei Yan's help with peace of mind.
She would take to heart Pei Yan's kindness to her and would repay him double in the future.
Back to the position of a friend, you should know what you can and cannot do.
Pei Yan: "..."
He didn't like her saying that, as if she was drawing a line between them. Deep down, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't figure out why.
The two of them were silent, and Xu Zhiyi still didn't wait for Pei Yan to speak.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
"Go back quickly and have some rest."
Pei Yan still detected a hint of strangeness in this perfectly normal sentence.
Pei Yan remained silent. He really couldn't understand and even felt a little annoyed. What happened to her?
After waiting for a long time without Pei Yan saying anything, Xu Zhiyi closed the door.
I'm not in a good mood tonight, so I'd better go back to sleep.
On the first day of moving into the new house, Xu Zhiyi suffered from insomnia, and the joy of moving into a new house was somewhat dissipated.
Pei Yan felt restless, but he couldn't find a way to vent. He was still very concerned. Why was she unhappy?
After returning home, I ran straight to the backyard, fetched a bucket of cold water, took off my shirt and poured myself over it.
The cold well water in late autumn made my mind clearer. My short hair was dripping with water, my shoulders were broad and my waist was narrow, and the water drops flowing down also stopped on my abdominal muscles.
After being poured with two buckets of water, Pei Yan's irritability was finally suppressed.
After coming out from the backyard, I found Grandma Dong sitting under the eaves.
"Ayan, what's wrong with you? It's so cold now, don't take a cold shower, it's easy to get sick." Grandma Dong's gentle and concerned voice sounded.
The kerosene lamp on the table occasionally flickered, and the dim light shone through, stretching Pei Yan's shadow outward.
"Grandma, I'm fine." Pei Yan's voice was rarely low.
I helped Xu Zhiyi prepare things early this morning, and he didn't seem to be in a bad mood at that time. But this afternoon, this kid looked like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Grandma Dong thought about how Pei Yan kept looking at Xu Zhiyi during dinner, and she understood something.
"If you have a fight with Zhiyi, just try to comfort her. You're in a relationship, and as a man, you should give in when necessary and admit your mistakes when necessary. Don't keep everything in your heart. Zhiyi is a good girl, you should cherish her."
Grandma Dong's words left Pei Yan at a loss.
"Grandma, we don't? We're not dating." Pei Yan hesitated for a moment.
"What? Why haven't you broken through that window paper yet?"
Grandma Dong was puzzled. Her eldest grandson treated Zhiyi's affairs as his own and cared about them more than anyone else.
Everyone thought they were really dating, but just didn't say it out loud.
Judging from the way these two people get along, no one would believe that they are not interested in each other.
"We didn't. I just don't know when it started, but her sincerity made me treat her sincerely as well. Later, being nice to her became a habit." Pei Yan said frankly.
I just still had some questions in my mind, but I didn’t tell my grandma.
Ever since Pei Yan came to Xiangyang Village, he has shown precocity compared to his peers. Now he has grown tall and strong, but who would have thought that he is still a naive little brat.
"Then if you're not dating her, don't get too close. It'll affect her reputation. She'll always meet someone she likes, date someone else, and get married."
Pei Yan resisted subconsciously, feeling suffocated just thinking about this scene.
"Zhiyi's cooking skills are not good, and she doesn't like to do housework. I wonder if her in-laws will treat her badly after she gets married? Oh!"
Pei Yan clenched her fists. It was no big deal for such a beautiful and bright person like her to not be able to cook.
"Zhiyi is a girl with her own ideas. Xiangyang Village can't keep her. Sooner or later, she will have to return to the city. You may not see her again in the future."
Pei Yan was terrified and couldn't imagine not seeing Xu Zhiyi anymore.
"Forget it, you should go to Zhiyi's house less often in the future." Grandma Dong seemed to be tired of talking, and went in with a bench.
Pei Yan was left alone sitting outside the house.
Grandma Dong's words were still ringing in his ears, and Pei Yan was extremely anxious.
He was shocked at the thought that another person would enter Xu Zhiyi's life, and he could only be a bystander and watch their happiness and sweetness.
It was as if a sour lemon was stuffed into his heart, and the gushing bitterness was enough to drown him.
Can't!
