In fact, Pei Yi had been pursuing Feng Nan for many years and he always felt that he was very patient. But at this moment, he felt that the days were passing by like years, and every minute was extremely difficult. The waiting made him restless.
He was a little worried that Jiang Se would not come, so he looked at the time on his wrist from time to time. He rolled down the window and stared in the direction of the dormitory building without daring to blink.
When Jiang Se came over, Pei Yi immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
In fact, Pei Yi had not observed her carefully the few times they met before. Now when he met her again, Pei Yi felt that he was really stupid before.
No matter how a person's appearance changes, his eyes, temperament, and expression will not change much.
He leaned against the car and watched her walk towards him step by step. Just this made him feel his legs numb and his heart blossoming.
When Jiang Se came over, he was actually ready to answer Pei Yi's questions.
The fact of rebirth was too unbelievable, and since she didn't know much about Feng Nan's situation, she hadn't actually thought about getting in touch with the people she knew before.
Last night, Jiang Se met Pei Yi at Kowloon Hall and called out his name. He had made up his mind that when he asked about this matter, he would put it on the excuse that he had checked it himself after beating Yao Xiang at the St. Regis Hotel last time.
But when she got closer, Pei Yi just walked around and opened the car door for her without asking any questions.
He even raised his hand to block the top of the car door, fearing that she would hit her head.
In fact, he did this every time he picked up Feng Nan. Perhaps because he did it too many times, she had long been accustomed to it and did not notice it.
But this moment was different from before. He stood very close to her, tall but thin. She recalled his somewhat outrageous behavior at Kowloon Hall last night. The warm touch seemed to still linger on her lips, and she seemed to be able to smell the faint smell of alcohol, which made her feel a little panicked.
She held on to her bag tightly, carefully avoided Pei Yi, and sat down.
Pei Yi knew her much better than she knew herself. He noticed every subtle movement and expression change of hers.
When I opened the car door for her, she lowered her head and subconsciously held her bag tightly. She looked a little nervous.
His mind immediately started working, and he knew very well what her character was like.
She was calm and composed, and it was not easy to make her nervous.
Pei Yi first thought of her change and wondered if her nervousness was because she mentioned his name and Nie Dan's name, but then he ruled out the idea.
When Jiang Se came over earlier, she was obviously well prepared. Her change occurred at the moment when he opened the car door for her. He was very close to her. This situation reminded Pei Yi of the surveillance video sent by Jiulongtang, in which he pressed Jiang Se against the wall.
But if that was all, she wouldn't be so alert. Maybe I offended her after drinking.
Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, then felt a little annoyed. He drank too much last night and could not remember anything when he woke up this morning.
He followed her into the car and watched her fasten her seat belt. Her fingers were white and slender, her skin was so white that it seemed transparent, and the light blue veins could be vaguely seen under her fingertips.
Her skin was glowing white. Perhaps it was because of what happened in the Kowloon Hall Club last night that she was a little worried and did not sleep well, so she was in a bad mood.
Pei Yi felt a little distressed, and also regretted whether he had pushed her too hard.
But when he guessed that she might be Feng Nan, he couldn't wait any longer. Moreover, if he was still the same as before and unwilling to let her suffer the slightest, in the end, there might still be no waves between the two of them.
After enduring for a long time, he asked:
"Have you made an appointment to go to the Grand Theatre?"
She nodded, her eyes fixed on her hands, but she refused to look up at him.
Pei Yi was so anxious that he wanted to reach out and touch her, but he didn't dare to. He could only clench his fists and place them tightly on his legs.
"What time?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and Jiang Se said honestly:
"3:30 in the afternoon."
When Pei Yi heard the time, he was overjoyed.
It was still early, just eleven o'clock, and he started the car immediately:
"Let's go eat first."
When she heard this, she frowned and turned away, wanting to refuse, while reaching out to unbuckle her seat belt.
Pei Yi was quick to grab her hand.
Her hand was boneless and a little cold, and he clenched it tightly. His heart was pounding as if there was a rabbit in his chest, struggling to jump out.
In the past, he was very well-behaved in front of Feng Nan and did not dare to offend her. Needless to say, last night was the first time he clearly held her hand. The feeling was wonderful, as if the carefully planted saplings had grown up, blossomed, and produced delicious fruits. He could smell the fragrance before he ate them.
He was in a state of excitement at the moment, but was afraid that she would struggle, so he suppressed his feelings and said in a serious tone:
"I want to talk to you about what happened last night."
Jiang Se really stopped struggling.
He naturally had no reason to hold the other person's hand again, so he had to let go reluctantly. He raised his hand casually and rubbed the tip of his nose.
The scent of her fruit-flavored hand cream still lingered in my palms, a little faint and imperceptible if you didn't smell it carefully.
"I saw you walking around in front of Kowloon Hall last night. You must have lost your way, so I notified the service desk." After the car started, Jiang Se turned around and smiled at him:
"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me specially."
She probably had thought of the wording long ago. Pei Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"I was drunk last night." He explained, and turned to look at her again: "I heard that someone told the people in the club that I missed my grandma, so some of my friends sent me back home. When I woke up this morning, my grandma was next to me. My buddy said that everyone in my family knew about it."
Although Jiang Se knew that he was the one who had misheard and passed on the wrong message, he couldn't help laughing when he heard him say that.
He easily told Jiang Se the things that had made him angry and ashamed before, and seeing the small curve at the corner of her mouth, he continued:
"My third uncle called me earlier and asked me what I missed about 'grandma' last night."
Jiang Se couldn't help but apologize with a smile:
"I didn't mean to, I heard it wrong."
"I know." He nodded happily, liking to see her cute face when she was amused by him: "Actually, I called her 'Nannan' last night."
He deliberately emphasized his tone when mentioning Feng Nan's name, and saw the smile on her lips gradually fade:
"I have pictures of her on my phone, do you want to see them?"
Jiang Se shook his head in astonishment:
"No." (To be continued)
