Chapter 69 "You know you're..."
The private doctor was waiting in the underground parking garage very early.
The car stopped in front of me.
I thought the person getting off the bus with a flushed face would be Pei Shuwen.
When he saw the other person, he found that he looked normal and serious. He was about to say that he was indeed Pei Shuwen, able to maintain this state even at a time like this.
He walked to the other side of the car, bent down, and helped a girl out of the back seat.
The girl wore a blue fishtail dress. Even though half of her body was wrapped in a blanket, you could still see her snow-white skin. Her hair was soft and thick, and if you caught a glimpse of her profile, it was easy to tell that she had a naturally beautiful face.
"What are you looking at? Follow me."
"Oh, here it comes."
Lin Chaoyue changed the access code to the third floor, and Pei Shuwen didn't know the password, so he could only carry the person back to his own place.
Less than 24 hours later, after going around in circles, Lin Chaoyue found herself back in Pei Shuwen's bedroom in a daze.
She was feeling a bit hot and uncomfortable; even when she lay down, her face was all scrunched up.
Pei Shuwen washed a cold towel and placed it on Lin Chaoyue's forehead. The cool touch finally made Lin Chaoyue feel better, her brows relaxed a bit, and she fell into a deep sleep without any guard.
The indoor temperature is kept constant at all times.
This time, Pei Shuwen only draped a towel blanket over her.
His actions in caring for people were so practiced that when the private doctor saw him stop, he finally couldn't help but tease, "Is this your... little girlfriend?"
Pei Shuwen didn't say anything, but simply gave him a seat.
"Come and see, she's still very uncomfortable."
The private doctor, with a stethoscope attached, listened to Pei Shuwen's heart rate twice and took his temperature once, at Pei Shuwen's silent urging.
"You seem to be doing well, and you only drank 30ml?"
Pei Shuwen: "Mmm, just a small bite."
On his way back, he had the Cheng family check the bar's surveillance footage again, and it was confirmed that he had only taken one sip of that drink.
"Similar aphrodisiac products are generally used more abroad. Chinese people are not tolerant to them, so it looks more serious. Your body temperature is still normal. I'll prescribe you a pill. Take it and get a good night's sleep and you'll be fine."
Are you sure everything's alright?
"Yes, I'm sure."
The answer was affirmative.
Pei Shuwen's expression finally softened a bit.
The atmosphere wasn't so tense.
The private doctor joked, "Don't touch this kind of thing next time. There are many ways to enhance the experience; there's no need to use this."
"I had a business dinner tonight and ate it by mistake."
"Attorney Pei has such keen eyes; how could you not keep an eye on someone right under your nose?"
This time, Pei Shuwen didn't deny it: "Yes, it's my problem."
The private doctor thought for a moment and said, "Since she's your girlfriend, there are actually more convenient ways that are much faster than taking medicine to suppress it. I suggest you give it a try."
Pei Shuwen lifted her eyelids to look at him: "Do you need me to explain the sentencing regulations for indecent assault to you?"
"I'll shut up, I'll shut up." The private doctor prescribed the medicine and ran away at lightning speed.
Soon, only the two of them remained in the quiet space.
The thermostat was operating quietly. She lay quietly on the bed, occasionally taking a deep breath, but soon curling up like a kitten and falling silent again.
The sound of breaking off a pill was amplified infinitely.
Pei Shuwen brought over water, and Lin Chaoyue seemed to notice him, so she moved to the bedside closer to him.
Are you feeling better now?
Pei Shuwen.
Her voice was soft and weak, sounding somewhat unlike her own, but Lin Chaoyue had no time to care at the moment.
Pei Shuwen sat down on the edge of the bed and scooped the person up: "Take your medicine and you'll feel better after a good night's sleep."
When Lin Chaoyue first heard Pei Shuwen's voice, she actually thought she was dreaming.
But the texture feels so realistic.
When Pei Shuwen reminded her to take her medicine for the second time, she lowered her head and held the white pill in his palm.
"Drink water."
After being fed a sip of water, Lin Chaoyue held it in her mouth for a long time until a slightly bitter taste began to rise in her mouth before she instinctively swallowed it.
Pei Shuwen pinched her chin to check, making sure she had eaten it, then turned to leave.
"Don't go." Lin Chaoyue felt a little aggrieved after being pinched so hard. "I want to take a bath."
"You can't wash now."
Lin Chaoyue closed her eyes weakly, but didn't let go: "I want to change my clothes. They're in the closet, and they're uncomfortable."
What's the password to your home address?
Pei Shuwen saw her gently shake her head, only repeating, "I need to change my clothes."
"Wait."
Pei Shuwen was planning to drive out to buy it when he passed the stairwell and saw that the door connecting the two floors was ajar. He gently pushed it open.
This was the first time he had come down from the mountain in a long time.
The decor is also in black, white, and gray, but this room has a lot of life to it.
A row of throw pillows was placed on the sofa, an apricot-colored mosquito net hung in the bedroom, and the walk-in closet was filled with colorful clothes.
I grabbed two sets of pajamas at random.
Pei Shuwen walked around the wine boxes on the ground and went back upstairs.
Lin Chaoyue had already fallen asleep again.
This time, he came over but didn't react.
Pei Shuwen placed the back of her hand against her forehead; the temperature was normal. Comfortable clothes were placed on the bedside table. She walked out and closed the door behind her.
The study was soundproofed, so Pei Shuwen rarely worked in the living room.
But today is an exception.
...
Lin Chaoyue woke up at two in the morning.
Mu Qiao fumbled for her phone, turned on the screen, and received thirty to fifty messages in just a few hours.
The room was dimly lit, and the light was somewhat glaring.
She picked it up and put it down, reading it several times before finally focusing on the key points and reading the whole thing.
"Yue, are you home yet? How are you feeling?"
...
"When Pei Shuwen took you away, Cheng Du was so angry he almost turned green. I told you Cheng Du had feelings for you, but now everyone's guessing if Pei Shuwen has feelings for you too. I said it's impossible, but they don't believe me."
...
"Sister, I take back what I said. Pei Shuwen asked for the surveillance footage of the bar that opens tonight, I don't know what conditions he used. He seems to really care about you."
...
"I'm doomed. My brother has been ignoring me for two hours. He seems really angry. Do you think I'll even see the sun rise tomorrow?"
Lin Chaoyue replied, "No, the weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow, there will be no sun."
The news was lost without a trace.
Mu Qiao is usually online at this time, so she could only silently wish her good luck.
I changed my clothes.
Lin Chaoyue got out of bed.
Only one light was left on in the living room. If Lin Chaoyue hadn't clearly heard the sound of typing on a keyboard, she would have thought no one was home.
"You're still awake?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Chaoyue realized that she had asked a pointless question.
Despite the identical spatial structure and decor, Lin Chaoyue realized upon waking that she was not sleeping in her own room.
She's taken over Pei Shuwen's bed; if he were home, he definitely wouldn't be sleeping.
"Put your shoes on properly."
There was only one pair of high heels in the room, which the makeup artist had prepared for Mu Qiao's size that night. Lin Chaoyue found them uncomfortable, and when she saw them when she got out of bed, she deliberately didn't wear them either.
Pei Shuwen offered a well-intentioned reminder, but her attitude was far from pleasant.
When Lin Chaoyue is in the wrong, she always knows how to feign weakness.
For example, right now, she obediently went to the entrance to put on her shoes and shuffled over to Pei Shuwen's side.
"About yesterday..."
Pei Shuwen glanced at her once when she first came out, and then never looked up again: "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Chaoyue glanced at the room key on the table out of the corner of her eye.
It's very familiar.
It was the one Mu Qiao gave her at the bar.
Her intuition was sounding alarm bells.
If Pei Shuwen is convinced that she is a 'scumbag' after tonight, it will be too late to say anything then.
"I was wrong!" Lin Chaoyue slid to her knees decisively, and before Pei Shuwen could speak, she quickly defended herself: "Tonight's incident was an accident. I just went to have some fun and kill some time. Someone gave me the room key, and I accidentally drank the alcohol. I really didn't mean to do anything."
"Besides...and I didn't mean to ignore your messages."
"Are you done talking?"
"Um……"
"Go and rest after you've finished talking."
What does this mean? They didn't swear like last time, nor did they ask any other questions.
Does this mean I believe her, or I don't believe her?
Lin Chaoyue didn't leave. Instead, she moved a chair and sat down opposite her. "I'm rested enough. There's no need to wait until tomorrow. You sent me so many messages before. Don't you really have anything you want to ask me now?"
"I guarantee I'll tell you whatever you ask." Afraid Pei Shuwen wouldn't believe her, she held up three fingers: "The real deal."
Pei Shuwen remained silent for a long time.
Just when Lin Chaoyue thought Pei Shuwen would continue to remain silent.
Pei Shuwen took off her glasses, pinched her brow, and asked with a hint of helplessness, "Why are you avoiding me today?"
Even if he was slow to realize it, he could still see Lin Chaoyue's attitude.
"I didn't..."
Lin Chaoyue instinctively tried to defend herself, but after meeting Pei Shuwen's gaze, she silently swallowed the words that had just escaped her lips.
She was avoiding him.
But why she hid was something even she couldn't explain.
Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction, or perhaps it was an unconscious desire to escape.
Although they had talked things out last night and the two of them got to know each other more deeply, neither she nor Pei Shuwen ever defined their relationship.
"I don't know either. But I just happened to be there today." Lin Chaoyue's tone softened noticeably.
The room key was pushed in front of Lin Chaoyue: "Yes, I believe you. As for how to handle tonight's matter, Cheng Du should ask for your opinion tomorrow; it's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Is this a way of kicking people out?
It means to go back to rest, not to go back to the bedroom to rest.
But she's awake, so letting her go back seems like the only right thing to do.
Lin Chaoyue clutched the room key and reluctantly got up.
But a sudden wave of grievance welled up inside him. He said he believed it, but did he truly believe it, or did he simply feel indifferent?
He looked at Pei Shuwen, who was still working across from him.
Lin Chaoyue thought it was the latter.
They've hugged and kissed each other, and he's even told her he likes her. Does Pei Shuwen really not care about anything tonight?
Why should I?!
The resentment gradually turned into resentment.
Lin Chaoyue walked around the table to his side, brazenly wrapped her arms around him, and boldly planted a kiss on his ear.
This wasn't the first time she had taken the initiative.
But tonight's actions clearly concealed further inducement.
Awkward, at a loss, but full of enthusiasm.
The tentative kiss deepened, and seeing that he did not resist, her slender fingers gradually moved downwards, but were stopped just before touching the forbidden area.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Pei Shuwen's voice was a little hoarse.
"certainly."
"You ate something you shouldn't have tonight..."
“Pei Shuwen, I am very sober. I only drank a little bit at the time, and I don’t feel anything now.”
As if to prove it, she opened her voice memo, pressed the record button, and earnestly repeated: "I, Lin Chaoyue, am clear-headed, lucid, and lucid. Whatever happened between me and Pei Shuwen was from the bottom of my heart, autonomously, and voluntarily; no matter what our relationship is in the future, or even if we have no relationship, I will not regret it..."
The ground beneath my feet was about to be lifted into the air in the next second.
The feeling of not touching the ground almost made Lin Chaoyue exclaim in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"bathroom."
Pei Shuwen's eyes swirled with a dark glint: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a shower? Let's do it together."
