The Institute of Biology was built into a large courtyard. Looking from the gate, one can see a straight avenue lined with trees, and there are several small buildings in the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of golden yellow, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet compound.
Pei Chengan works and lives in this place every day.
Xia Zhen really wanted to go in and have a look, not just because she was curious, but because she wanted to get closer to his life.
The last time I came here was at night, and I was just passing by at that time, and I was not interested in the scene inside, it was different from this time.
The gate of the institute was open and there was no guard, but Xia Zhen didn't go in.
After wandering outside the door for a while, Xia Zhen took out her cell phone and called Pei Chengan. Don't pick up the phone soon, Xia Zhen said slyly: "I sent you a courier, and the courier is now at the gate of your research institute, you go." This was the "surprise" she had thought of this afternoon.
"Express delivery..." Pei Chengan was suspicious, but he didn't make wild guesses, and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
"Well, then I'll hang up." Xia Zhen hung up the phone very simply, which made Pei Chengan feel a little disappointed, and he wanted to say a few more words to her.
Pei Chengan quickly walked to the entrance of the research institute. At that time, Xia Zhen was standing by the outer wall, and Pei Chengan had to come out to see it.
Pei Chengan didn't see anyone, so he walked outside, and soon he caught a glimpse of a figure by the wall, he was surprised.
Xia Zhen walked over with a smile on her face, "Mr. Pei, your courier has arrived, please sign for it."
Pei Chengan laughed and asked, "Where's the courier? I only see the courier."
Xia Zhen looked up at him, blinked, and said, "The courier and the courier are two in one."
Now he laughed out loud, and had no objection to Xia Zhen's remarks, but... "Where is the signature?"
ah? Just talking, do you have to do a full set of acting
Seeing her frowning and thinking, opening and closing her mouth, Pei Chengan's heart moved, and he said, "Just sign here."
"Huh?" Xia Zhenfu raised her head again, looking at him puzzled.
Suddenly, a dark shadow pressed down, and immediately, her lips felt warm, and her breathing stopped suddenly. Time seemed to have stopped, and Xia Zhen was still a little dazed when the soft touch and warm breath left.
Pei Chengan's ears were hot, and his face was blushing. He didn't dare to look at Xia Zhen at first, but when he saw her dumbfounded look, he felt a little relieved. "It's signed." He said with a smile.
Xia Zhen came back to her senses, this was her first kiss, a first kiss like a touch of water, maybe not even a kiss. I don't know why she was a little dissatisfied, and blurted out: "The signing is too sloppy."
Pei Chengan was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously with a blushing face, "Then do it again." After saying that, he leaned over to kiss again.
But this time Xia Zhen stretched out her hands to block him, and took a step back. She looked around and asked belatedly, "Is there a camera here?"
Pei Chengan: "... Yes."
Xia Zhen has also discovered that there are two of them just above the gate of their research institute. They are at the gate, so it doesn't take much to know that the scene just now was filmed.
"Will it be seen by the people in your institute?" Xia Zhen blushed.
"Generally, no one will watch the surveillance. Even if they see it, it's okay." Pei Chengan's voice was calm and magnetic, and now there was a hint of hoarseness, which sounded very sexy.
Xia Zhen suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "That's right."
Pei Chengan also smiled, but his eyes were involuntarily projected on her lips. He really wanted to do it again, and secretly regretted that he was not bold enough just now. In fact, he wanted to kiss Xia Zhen when he was at the farmhouse last week. In the past few days when he didn't see each other, whenever he thought of her, he would always think of her flushed mouth.
Just now, I lost my mind.
He rarely does this, but now he feels that this is not bad.
"Didn't you say to work overtime tonight?" Pei Chengan asked.
Xia Zhen said confidently: "Yeah, I'm working overtime right now? I'm a courier now, and I don't know when I will deliver myself back. It will probably be very late because I haven't eaten yet."
There are very few people around Pei Chengan who are as "playful" as Xia Zhen, so he feels fresh and happy.
"I'll take you to dinner, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Anything is fine?"
Pei Chengan frowned slightly, "I don't want you to eat unhygienic and unhealthy food."
Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Then I only thought of one thing."
"What?"
"You did it." After Xia Zhen finished speaking, she added, "Do you not allow outsiders to enter here?"
"no."
"It doesn't look like it, the door is so completely opened."
Pei Chengan smiled helplessly, he didn't know who opened the door so wide. "Come on, I'll cook for you."
"Is it troublesome? I'm just talking. Have you already eaten? Why don't you go to the restaurant you mentioned last time." Xia Zhen already understood Pei Chengan's life pattern, and knew that he had probably eaten. She can eat whatever she wants, anyway, it's just to fill her stomach, and being with him is the most important thing.
Pei Chengan smiled helplessly, took her hand and walked inside.
At this time, the afterglow had dissipated and the light dimmed. The two walked hand in hand on the quiet avenue, only feeling the heat from each other's hands.
In fact, Xia Zhen was a little nervous. If his colleagues saw her, she would feel embarrassed, but she couldn't bear to let go of his hand.
When he was about to reach the apartment building, a person walked by in front of him, and Xia Zhen finally pulled out her hand.
Let's be a little more reserved.
The apartment building has five floors, and there are two houses on each floor. The building is fairly new and fully furnished. Xia Zhen couldn't help sighing that reading more books really has many benefits. She wanted to come out to live by herself and be independent, but she didn't have a house.
Pei Chengan lived on the fourth floor, and Xia Zhen followed him all the way, still feeling uneasy, hoping not to meet his colleagues, after all, going back to the residence with a man is not so simple.
Pei Chengan opened the door, and asked Xia Zhen to go in sideways.
Xia Zhen came here for the first time, so she naturally wanted to observe it. The house has one bedroom and one living room. It is spacious, simple and neatly furnished, very much in Pei Chengan's style.
"Sit here for a while, and I'll cook for you."
Sitting on the sofa, Xia Zhen raised her face and said to Pei Chengan with a smile, "Just cook me a bowl of noodles. I'm hungry. Cook the noodles faster." She was really hungry, with a heavy workload and brain power Exercising is also a lot, which consumes a lot of her energy. Of course, she didn't want Pei Chengan to be too troublesome.
Pei Chengan agreed, brought her a bottle of mineral water, and then went into the kitchen. After a while, he brought some fruits and continued cooking noodles.
There was no TV in the room, and there was a stack of magazines and materials on the coffee table. Xia Zhen picked up a magazine and flipped through it. When she heard the sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen, she put down her things, got up and walked to the kitchen.
Pei Chengan was cutting meat, and beside him were washed vegetables, chopped tomatoes, and green onions and coriander.
Pei Chengan was wearing a white shirt. He was still neatly dressed before, but now he had unbuttoned two of his collar buttons and rolled up his cuffs. He was tall, but he still stood upright, with his head slightly lowered while cutting vegetables.
Xia Zhen felt objectively that there were not many men who were so handsome in the kitchen, but Pei Chengan must be among them.
How can such a man who can get out of the living room and into the kitchen give up!
"Why did you come in? Do you need something?" Pei Chengan turned to look at her and asked.
Xia Zhen shook her head, "I'll just take a look."
Pei Chengan smiled and let her go, while he continued to be busy.
After cutting the meat, adding seasoning and mixing it, the water just boiled, he put some oil, then put down the tomatoes, and then put in the noodles...
"There are not many ingredients, so I can only make noodles like this."
"It's already very rich. If it were me, I would crack an egg in at most." Xia Zhen's cooking skills are not good, and sometimes when there is no one at home, she mostly cooks noodles to satisfy her hunger, but it's just to satisfy her hunger.
"I'll cook something delicious for you later."
Xia Zhen was very curious, "Who taught you to cook? Aren't all top students supposed to be non-human beings?"
Oh looked at her with raised eyebrows, and said solemnly: "Schoolmasters only need one cookbook."
Xia Zhen: "..." Well, she doesn't understand the world of a top student.
So here comes the question, I don't know if he would mind marrying a wife who can't cook in the future. Of course, this question cannot be asked directly.
"Alas..." Xia Zhen sighed melancholy.
"Why are you sighing?" Pei Chengan asked suspiciously.
"It seems that I have to buy a few more cookbooks to study hard. My mother said that it is difficult to marry a woman who can't cook."
At this point, all the ingredients have been put into the pot, just waiting to be cooked. Pei Chengan turned to face Xia Zhen, bent down slightly, looked at Xia Zhen at the same level, and firmly said to her: "If you don't like it, don't learn it, you won't fail to marry."
His handsome face was so close at hand, and what he said was so touching, Xia Zhen's heart beat like a deer.
However, the previous plan suddenly flashed in her mind, and she turned her head away from looking into his eyes.
She suddenly had an idea, that is to tell him this matter openly and honestly, and then tell her own heart. But soon she dismissed this idea, thinking that it is better not to talk about such things.
"Are you familiar?" Xia Zhen put aside her thoughts and said with a smile.
Pei Chengan stood up straight, and said before looking at it, "No."
Really sure, it should have calculated the time.
After two minutes, Pei Chengan served up the noodles, one bowl for each person.
When I was about to finish eating, there were footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door.
Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan looked at each other.
"I'll take a look." Pei Chengan said, Xia Zhen nodded, got up and followed behind him. Since his colleague is here, let's meet him generously.
The door opened, but Xia Zhen was surprised by the person who appeared, and he understood.
"Senior Brother Pei! I made a cake and brought it to..." Lu Mengqi's smile and words froze.
Xia Zhen smiled at her calmly and said, "Miss Lu, hello." She had a gentle face, but she was actually upset in her heart. As expected, Lu Mengqi took advantage of the favorable location to pester Pei Chengan. But it's nothing, she appeared here, making Lu Mengqi even more upset.
Lu Mengqi smiled dryly, and replied: "Hi, I didn't expect you to be here."
In the past few days, Lu Mengqi looked for opportunities to get close to Pei Chengan from time to time. Pei Chengan knew her intentions and expressed her position in her words, but she didn't take it seriously, and even always pretended to be a colleague. He was very helpless. "We just ate and couldn't eat the cake, so you can give it to them."
Lu Mengqi stood at the door, holding an exquisite cake in both hands, a little embarrassed because she was rejected. "You can put it in the refrigerator and eat it when you are hungry. I just made it and I can keep it for a while."
Xia Zhen walked over, took her cake with both hands, and said, "Thank you then, would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
Lu Mengqi smiled and said, "No need, I still have it, I'll give it to others."
"Then go slowly." Xia Zhen said politely.
Lu Mengqi nodded, and when she turned around, her eyes flicked across Pei Chengan's face, Xia Zhen noticed all these subtle movements.
Xia Zhen took the cake and walked to the dining room, and put it on the dining table.
Pei Chengan closed the door, walked over, and offered to explain. "Lv Mengqi moved in yesterday..." He didn't even come to explain.
Although men don't understand women's thoughts, Xia Zhen feels that Pei Chengan is trustworthy. She can tell that Lu Mengqi is just wishful thinking. Pei Chengan doesn't mean anything to her at all, and even avoids her a little bit.
On Sunday, plus just now, when Pei Chengan faced Lu Mengqi with a distant attitude, Xia Zhen noticed it.
When Pei Chengan faced others, it was different from when he faced himself. Knowing this, Xia Zhen couldn't help feeling sweet in her heart.
Two days ago, she still cared about Lu Mengqi very much, but now that she is more aware of Pei Chengan's attitude, she doesn't care much.
"Besides Xue Nan and Lu Mengqi, how many other women like you?" Xia Zhen asked.
"I don't know."
Xia Zhen nodded knowingly, "It seems that there are too many to count."
Pei Chengan: "I only like you."
Caught off guard, Xia Zhen was confessed. She hadn't finished speaking yet. She didn't say these things to make him show his sincerity.
Xia Zhen didn't know how to react for a moment, she stared blankly at Pei Chengan.
Pei Chengan took a step forward, their bodies were almost touching each other, Xia Zhen suddenly became nervous, and reflexively took a step back.
She failed to retreat, Pei Chengan stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, moved forward, and she bumped into his body.
It's already early summer, the clothes are thin, and the close body can clearly feel the other person's body temperature and heartbeat.
"There are chairs in the back." Pei Chengan explained.
"oh."
He didn't let her go, his hands were already behind her, encircling her in front of him.
Xia Zhen raised her hand slightly by her side, but there was nowhere to put it.
"Don't care about others, I won't be half-hearted."
Xia Zhen smiled, hugged his waist with both hands, leaned on his chest and said: "Well, I believe you, I was a little concerned about Lu Mengqi, but since there are so many Lu Mengqis, I can't care, forget it."
Pei Chengan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly.
