"What do you mean by 'do it or not'? Are you a gangster?" Zhang Qian couldn't bear it any longer. "If you don't know how to use words, don't say it!"
"I told you a long time ago to enroll them in a cultural training class in their spare time, so that they won't be embarrassed in the future." Pei Yan knew that Zhao Jie was talking about him.
Qiao Ran was probably affected by the voices, or maybe he had a dream. He smacked his lips and rubbed Pei Yan's shoulder.
Pei Yan was afraid that Qiao Ran would rush forward, so he gave him a light hand to support him. He only withdrew his hand after making sure that Qiao Ran stopped moving.
Looking at the street scene rapidly receding outside the car window, Pei Yan's mind echoed with Zhao Jie's joke.
Zhao Jie was certainly joking, but...
Pei Yan's gaze returned to Qiao Ran's sleeping face.
Before this, Pei Yan was completely focused on training and competition. He never thought about what kind of girl he would like, nor did he have any specific requirements for his future girlfriend.
In fact, he had never even considered having a girlfriend.
According to Qiao Ran, falling in love would only affect the speed at which he could draw his sword.
But now think about it...if this person is Qiao Ran...
It doesn’t seem impossible.
Qiao Ran is hardworking and ambitious, not afraid of hardship, and does not have the pretentiousness that some girls often have. Her facial features are also in line with Pei Yan's aesthetic standards.
Besides being introverted and shy.
Pei Yan couldn't find any fault with Qiao Ran.
Besides, in his eyes, Qiao Ran looked cute when he was shy.
——
The car quickly drove back to the base. As soon as it stopped, Zhao Jie and his friends couldn't wait to get out.
Pei Yan raised his hand and gently patted Qiao Ran on the shoulder twice: "Qiao Ran, wake up, we're here."
Qiao Ran took a deep breath, opened his eyes drowsily, rubbed his eyes and yawned, looking like he had not slept enough.
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands." Pei Yan pushed Qiao Ran's hand away, "Go in and eat something first, then go to sleep."
Pei Yan's voice in his ears suddenly woke Qiao Ran up from his dazed state.
She turned her head and found herself next to Pei Yan. It seemed like she was using Pei Yan as a pillow...
Qiao Ran subconsciously wiped his mouth.
Fortunately... I didn't drool!
Otherwise she would have died on the spot.
"Um... Captain, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it..." As he said that, Qiao Ran reached out and symbolically brushed Pei Yan's shoulders.
"I'm not blaming you, nor am I asking you to pay me for letting me stay with you for a while. Why are you so nervous?"
"I just... feel a little guilty... a little embarrassed..."
"I've carried you twice. Today I'll just lean on you for a bit. Don't be embarrassed." After saying that, Pei Yan got out of the car.
Qiao Ran sat in the car, stunned for a while.
Is Pei Yan so generous to his teammates? It doesn't seem so...
As Qiao Ran got out of the car, he imagined the scene of Zhao Jie leaning on Pei Yan's shoulder, and suddenly felt a chill.
According to convention, Zhao Jie should be humiliated by Pei Yan and then pushed away ruthlessly.
"Forget it, forget it, I won't think about it anymore..." Qiao Ran patted his face and followed Pei Yan into the room.
"Brother Zhao, how long will it take for the takeout to arrive?" Ye Xiaofan was lying on the sofa, occupying one side of the sofa alone, howling with hunger.
"It's almost there, just a few hundred meters away. I'll go out and pick her up." Zhao Jie was very reluctant to leave the soft and comfortable sofa.
"Why don't I go." Qiao Ran was just at the door and hadn't had time to change his shoes.
"How can you have the nerve to ask a girl to help you get the things you ordered?" Pei Yan glanced at Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie stood up immediately. "That's impossible! It's so dangerous to get takeout now. Of course, men like us should go. Xiao Qiao has worked hard today. Sit down and have a good rest."
"Xiao Qiao, is the captain's shoulder comfortable? Do you feel particularly safe?"
Although Sun Kai reminded Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie also promised.
But when he saw Qiao Ran, Zhao Jie's gossipy spirit was ignited and he threw everything else out of his mind.
"Uh..." Qiao Ran scratched his face and secretly glanced at Pei Yan. Seeing that Pei Yan was drinking water, he replied, "How about... you try it next time?"
"Puff!" Pei Yan spat out a mouthful of water.
He never expected Qiao Ran to say that.
Pei Yan's rare loss of composure startled Ye Xiaofan so much that he sat up from the sofa.
Sun Kai, who was approaching, took out several tissues and handed them to Pei Yan, and signaled Zhao Jie to leave quickly.
When Zhao Jie saw this situation, he naturally ran away as soon as possible.
——
By the time Zhao Jie came back carrying bags of takeout, Pei Yan had already recovered.
Qiao Ran sat in an inconspicuous corner like a child who had said something wrong, holding his mobile phone and trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Zhao Jie put the takeaway on the table and said, "Come and eat, come and eat, eat while it's still hot."
The aroma of takeout filled the whole house as Zhao Jie opened the lid.
Qiao Ran swallowed and heard his stomach growl.
"Xiao Ran, come here quickly." Sun Kai called out.
"Hey... Captain, I was too talkative just now. Don't be angry with the girl. Look how scared she is..." Zhao Jie moved closer to Pei Yan.
"I didn't say anything..." Pei Yan didn't know that Qiao Ran would think that he was angry.
"You're not angry, that's good, that's good."
"My expression looks like I'm angry?" Pei Yan turned around and faced Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie shook his head: "You... have such a handsome face, even being angry is a kind of charm."
"It's no use flattering me. Whether I'm handsome or not is none of your business."
"It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with the girl~"
"Eat your meal!" Pei Yan stuffed a piece of meat into Zhao Jie's mouth in a bad mood.
"Come and eat something. You were so sleepy just now. Go to bed early after eating. There is no training scheduled tonight, so don't stay up late." Pei Yan said to Qiao Ran in a normal tone.
Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Pei Yan didn't care about the fact that he had said the wrong thing and choked her.
Just don't worry about it...
In the future, you can’t be so careless just because you’re familiar with each other…
Qiao Ran secretly reminded himself in his heart.
"Aren't the coach and manager coming to eat?" Ye Xiaofan, who couldn't wait any longer, was the first to pick up his chopsticks.
"The coach is old and can't handle it anymore, so he's going to bed first. The manager..." Zhao Jie thought for a moment, "It seems we won the qualifying match, and there are some promotional matters waiting for him to take care of. He's not available right now."
"Every time a competition is over, it's his busiest time. He's a workaholic, and he can't eat until he finishes the things he's doing." Sun Kai explained to Qiao Ran, "It's okay, we'll leave some for him later and have someone bring it to him."
Everyone consumed a lot of energy in this game and now they all feel hungry. No one is talking at the table and everyone is just eating.
After the meal, Qiao Ran cleared the table. Sun Kai and Ye Xiaofan said they were full and wanted to go out to throw away the trash and digest their food.
Zhao Jie patted his full stomach and began to miss his pillow, so he took the bathroom in the room first.
The only ones left on the first floor were Pei Yan, who was peeling an apple, and Qiao Ran, who was hesitant to speak.
Qiao Ran stared at Pei Yan's hand.
Pei Yan's hands are very beautiful, slender and well-proportioned, with distinct joints.
He held the knife with one hand and turned the apple with the other hand. The apple peel gradually became longer, until finally, the apple was peeled out completely without any break in the skin.
"Does it look good?" Pei Yan suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Qiao Ran came back to his senses and retracted his gaze, "That... Captain..."
"Want to eat?" Pei Yan handed the apple to Qiao Ran.
"No, no, no, it's not like that." Qiao Ran shook his hands repeatedly, "It's just...just now when I said that Zhao Jie should try to rely on you, I was joking, don't mind it..."
Pei Yan didn't expect Qiao Ran to spend so much time beside him worrying about this matter: "Do you think I'm angry?"
"You're squirting..." Qiao Ran said in a very low voice.
Pei Yan heard it anyway, so he simply went along with Qiao Ran's misunderstanding: "Yeah, it's quite hard to accept."
"I...I just said it casually..."
"Is my shoulder so cheap? Anyone can come up and lean on it?" Pei Yan said as he cut the apple in his hand in half with a knife.
Qiao Ran's heart also skipped a beat.
Pei Yan couldn't go on acting anymore. He didn't want to scare the little girl so late at night.
He smiled and handed half an apple to Qiao Ran. "I'm not that easily angered. Apart from slacking off or making mistakes during training, who have I ever been angry with? How come you think I'm someone who gets angry easily?"
"Then just now..."
"I was just teasing you." Pei Yan explained helplessly, "I sprayed because I thought of the scene you mentioned. It was too greasy..."
"ah......"
Very greasy indeed.
She felt sorry for Zhao Jie and Pei Yan!
Qiao Ran awkwardly dug his toes into the ground, as if he had acted foolishly in front of Pei Yan again...
It seemed like she had done all the embarrassing things in her life in front of Pei Yan.
It’s really fucked up!
Qiao Ran secretly despised himself in his heart.
Pei Yan then spoke, "However, I must solemnly declare one thing. I have never let anyone lean on my shoulder before. Today is the first time a young lady has gotten into a sedan chair."
Pei Yan stood up and took a step closer, saying, "Qiao Ran."
Under the light, shadows enveloped Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran looked up in confusion: "Huh?"
Pei Yan raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of shattered stars: "You must be responsible."
Qiao Ran stood there, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and she could feel nothing except her accelerated heartbeat.
"Don't stand there like an idiot. You were sleepy just now. Go to sleep."
After saying that, Pei Yan left first, giving Qiao Ran some time to digest.
Watching Pei Yan's back as he went upstairs, Qiao Ran let out a long breath and clutched her heart. She felt as if the jumping deer in her heart was about to die...
