Jiang Se didn't notice that when Pei Yi saw her action, his eyes lit up, and he also sat down across the table from her.
Jiang Se had long legs, and he also had long legs, nearly 1.9 meters tall. When he sat down, his knees were against her.
She hurriedly moved her legs away. The space under the table was narrow, and he seemed to want to move his legs away as well, but he hooked her calf instead.
Even through his pants, she could still feel the heat of his calves, which were firm and strong, completely different from hers.
Jiang Se paused, and Pei Yi moved his legs away. This little bit of physical contact didn't change her much, but it made his heart beat faster. He relaxed for a while, and his eyes fell on Jiang Se:
"Still as usual?"
Whenever the two of them came over in the past, he would always ask this question when ordering food.
When she heard his question, she nodded instinctively.
But just as he moved, Jiang Se realized that something was wrong, and immediately stopped his movements, pretending to be puzzled. Just as he was about to ask him, Pei Yi smiled:
"Wrong question. I used to come here more often with another friend. I almost mistook you for her."
Jiang Se also smiled back at him without saying anything.
When ordering dishes, Pei Yi ordered almost all the same dishes that they always ordered when they came here before. There are many kinds of soups here. After choosing the dishes and placing the order, the waiter left.
She didn't talk much, and that hadn't changed.
It was the same in the past. If Pei Yi wanted to talk to her, he always had to make her speak.
"I'm going to the Grand Theater at 3:30 in the afternoon. Is there any project going to be shown?"
He took a sip of oolong tea and looked at her intently.
The information Nie Dan found was not complete. It only contained some brief experiences before the incident at the St. Regis Hotel. Nie Dan no longer paid attention to her afterwards.
Pei Yi felt a little annoyed when he thought about it now, and took out his cell phone to check what performances the Grand Theater had in the afternoon.
"I went to rehearse." She shook her head, looked at the question in Pei Yi's eyes, and explained:
"I received a script and a teacher in it recommended that I study with a teacher."
Pei Yi was so upset by these words that he couldn't help asking:
"What script? Which teacher? Male or female?"
Jiang Se glanced at him lightly, "What does it have to do with you?"
This question left Pei Yi speechless, with a pitiful look on his face.
She rested her arms on the table, her hands folded obediently, and he plucked up the courage to reach out and hold her hands:
"Please tell me."
Pei Yiren is tall, with long legs and long arms. When he stretched out his hand, Jiang Se never thought that he would do that, and was caught by him without any preparation.
She struggled twice, and he held her tightly, but carefully controlled the strength so as not to hurt her.
"If you continue like this, I'm leaving." Jiang Se reached for her bag and stood up. His long legs under the table stretched out and put his feet on the sofa, blocking her way to leave.
In the past, he was afraid of her doing this, and even more afraid of making her angry, so he was very cautious.
But now he was really afraid that she would be unhappy and leave immediately, so he quickly apologized:
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions. Don't leave."
There was a pleading look in his eyes, and he held her hand and shook it, as if he was acting coquettishly with her. Jiang Se was helpless and had to put down her bag and sit down again.
Pei Yi then smiled and retracted his legs, but he held her hand without letting go.
"I've taken on a new script, and the screenwriter is a teacher who has written several books before." She glanced at Pei Yi and stretched out her hand to pry open his fingers, but both of her hands were held by him with one hand: "Let go."
He was very strong and held both of her hands, allowing her to struggle as if he was teasing her.
"Which teacher?"
In fact, when Jiang Se said this, Pei Yi remembered what Nie Dan said in the morning. He said that Jiang Se recently took on a play from Shangjia Company, and the screenwriter was Hou Xiling. The "teacher" she mentioned should be Hou Xiling.
"You may not understand even if I tell you." She struggled for a while. Pei Yi was a little dissatisfied when she said this:
"What if I knew?"
Jiang Se sighed: "Let it go first, I want to drink tea."
He used his other hand to pick up the teacup in front of her and put it to her lips:
"I'll feed you."
Jiang Se couldn't help but glare at him: "What on earth do you want to do?"
The two had known each other since childhood, and her impression of Pei Yi was not like this. Although she occasionally heard rumors from the elders that he and Nie Dan were not very obedient, when he was in front of her, Pei Yi was well-behaved and had never been like this.
Pei Yi was afraid that she would be angry, so when he saw her like this, he quickly let go of her hand. As soon as she was free, she leaned back on the sofa and sat far away from him.
He dared not say anything about Jiang Se's behavior, so he could only say honestly:
"I want to chase you."
This sentence had a huge impact on Jiang Se. She didn't expect him to say that. Her cheeks flushed immediately. "Nonsense! How could we?"
In her heart, he has always been like a younger brother, like a relative. She is five years older than him. In the past, he was always obedient and submissive in front of her and would never say such words, which made her at a loss.
She wanted to reach for her bag again, but she couldn't eat today's meal.
"How is it impossible?"
He became unhappy when he heard this, put down his teacup, stood up, walked around the table and sat next to Jiang Se, blocking her way:
"What's impossible?"
He raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat smug: "I think it's very likely. I don't have a girlfriend and I'm one year older than you." He wanted to shamelessly reach out and hug her like he had seen in the surveillance video before, but he was not drunk. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to move.
But being so close to her, it seemed as if he could touch her with just a move of his fingers. This distance already made Pei Yi satisfied.
"Last time at the St. Regis Hotel, I helped you beat up the scumbag who was harassing you, and you never thanked me." He twisted the facts with confidence, "Now I just want to pursue you, how can it be impossible?"
Jiang Se had mixed feelings during the meal. Ever since Pei Yi said he wanted to pursue her, he never took his eyes off her.
She was thinking that if Pei Yi knew who she was, maybe their relationship could return to the way it was before.
But now she is reborn and has nothing to do with Feng Nan.
It was the same person, but his attitude towards him was completely different from before. Jiang Se felt that things were getting troublesome.
Before three o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Yi sent Jiang Se to the Grand Theater and had no intention of leaving.
This was not the first time he came here. He would occasionally accompany Feng Nan here before. After parking the car in the garage, he followed Jiang Se out of the car. (To be continued)
