"Did you deceive me?" Pei Chengan asked without answering, with a smile in his eyes, it was obviously just a joke, but Xia Zhen felt guilty.
"Yes. How do you punish?"
Pei Chengan thought about it seriously, then bent down slightly, and said softly to her: "Then punish you with a kiss."
When Pei Chengan said this himself, Xia Zhen was stunned. Is this the same Pei Chengan she knew? She looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly saw her own image reflected in the deep eyes that were close at hand. His serious expression made Xia Zhen's cheeks heat up, and the guilt just now disappeared.
She readily kissed him on the cheek, then walked to his car as if running away, and said slyly: "I'm hungry, take me to eat quickly."
Naturally, Pei Chengan was not satisfied with this kiss, but he could only endure it temporarily.
In the car, Xia Zhen called Ms. Tian and told her that she was not at home for dinner. In the past, Ms. Tian would ask questions, but this time her tone was calm, and she just said "Got it" and hung up the phone. Xia Zhen felt something was wrong, but she only thought that she was in a bad mood during menopause, so she stopped thinking about it.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xia Zhen came home, humming a song, in a good mood.
Ms. Tian was still sitting in the living room watching TV. Seeing Xia Zhen coming back, she said casually, "I'm back."
"Yeah." Xia Zhen said with a smile, then glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's not too late to be back, is it?"
"How are you getting along with Xiao Pei?" Ms. Tian often asks this question, but she used to have a gossipy face, but now she is a bit serious.
"Mom, are you in a bad mood? Did something not go your way? Did your father make you unhappy?" Xia Zhen asked cautiously. Although she was the princess of the family, her mother was the queen, and the queen was not happy. How can this work!
Ms. Tian glanced at her and said, "Your father is very good."
Xia Zhen frowned, and guessed again unwillingly. "Could it be because of me?" She racked her brains for a while, but couldn't figure out what she did wrong.
"Who else but you?"
Xia Zhen couldn't believe it: "What's wrong with me? Did I do nothing wrong?"
Ms. Tian looked into her eyes intently, Xia Zhen looked back firmly to show that she was sitting upright.
After a while, Ms. Tian's expression relaxed, "Forget it, I won't interfere with your junior affairs, you treat Xiao Pei well, he seems to be a reliable person, you should cherish it."
"Mom..." Xia Zhen put away her joking attitude, but Ms. Tian didn't say much, she stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to bed, and you go to bed early too."
Xia Zhen still felt that something was wrong, and she was thinking about it. At this time, a message came in from her mobile phone. She picked it up to check, and it was Pei Chengan who asked her if she had arrived home. After chatting with Pei Chengan for a while, she stopped thinking about what happened to Ms. Tian, anyway, she would definitely get along well with Pei Chengan. The matter with Xue Chen should have been settled. There is still Lu Mengqi on Pei Chengan's side, but she believes in Pei Chengan.
The next day was Friday, and it was finally time to get off work. Xia Zhen hurried downstairs and left the office building. She saw Pei Chengan standing in front of the car, holding a bouquet of flowers, walking towards her like a prince.
It was the off-duty time at this time, and the crowd was turbulent. Pei Chengan was such a tall, handsome and temperamental person, holding flowers in his hand, he was more conspicuous, and his rate of turning heads was very high.
Xia Zhen immediately received envious looks from many women. Her heart was filled with happiness, and she felt that she was so lucky. She even felt that if Pei Chengan proposed to her now, she would agree without hesitation.
Of course, they've only been dating for a while, so it won't be so soon.
Pei Chengan walked up to Xia Zhen, handed her the bouquet in his hand, and said, "This is for you."
Xia Zhen took it with a smile, and said shyly, "Thank you."
Someone nearby was discussing, "The man is so handsome, I thought he was asking for marriage just now."
Someone replied: "How is it possible, this environment is neither romantic nor warm, it is not suitable for a marriage proposal, okay?"
"As long as people are handsome, there will be beautiful scenery everywhere. If I were that woman, I would propose marriage."
Their voices were not too loud, they could be heard by both Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan just now, Xia Zhen felt helpless and dragged Pei Chengan into the car.
After the car drove a certain distance, Pei Chengan suddenly said solemnly: "When proposing marriage, I will choose a romantic place."
Xia Zhen was so shocked that she blurted out. "No rush! We've only been together for a short time."
"So how long do you think is appropriate?"
Xia Zhen had never thought about this issue. Their relationship had just started. At least for her, it didn't take long for her to fully accept this relationship. "I don't know, but... You're not serious, are you? Don't just think about it just because you hear other people's random comments."
"It's not a whim, I've been thinking about it all this time." Originally, he wanted to make a plan first, and then wait for the two of them to have a deeper relationship before formally proposing. The main purpose was to give Xia Zhen a process of psychological adaptation. But today someone was talking like this, if he didn't express anything, maybe Xia Zhen would have bad thoughts.
"Too soon..." Xia Zhen's current mood was nervous and conflicted, as well as excited and joyful. When he thinks about this question, it shows that he takes this relationship seriously, and it also shows that he really likes her. What woman doesn't want to be taken seriously
handle it seriously…
Xia Zhen felt ashamed, she didn't take him seriously before. The sense of guilt instantly swelled, and the excited mood instantly cooled down.
Just at this time, Pei Chengan turned his head and saw her downcast, frowning, then smiled again, and said, "It's a bit fast, then we're not in a hurry."
"En." Xia Zhen's voice was low.
This became a knot in Xia Zhen's heart. The better Pei Chengan treated her, the bigger the knot would be. She felt that she would feel better only if she confessed to Pei Chengan, but if she told him, maybe he would be the one with pimples. She didn't want Pei Chengan to be disappointed in her, if he really cared about this past deception and really broke up with her...
No! She does not accept such a result.
During the two days of the weekend, the two of them cherished the rare time together. Xia Zhen gave up the time to sleep in, and went for a morning run with Pei Chengan early in the morning, and went out to play together after going home and changing clothes.
When we are together, even if we do nothing and say nothing, we will feel very satisfied and beautiful. Only then did Xia Zhen realize that liking someone is such a good feeling, but occasionally she still feels down. She had to sigh with emotion that she was really not suitable for doing bad things.
Although the change in her mood was subtle, Pei Chengan still felt it, and he also knew that the change in her began when she talked about the marriage proposal that day. He felt a little regretful, knowing that he hadn't handled it well.
At 10 o'clock on Sunday night, he sent Xia Zhen home, the car was parked outside the community, and the two were reluctant to part.
At this time, there are not many pedestrians, and all the traffic is vehicles. The car was parked on the side of the road, and there was a big banyan tree next to it, with luxuriant branches and leaves, blocking the light.
"Xia Zhen, I'm very serious about you, so I'll think about it later, but don't be burdened, I know you're still young, I'm not..." Pei Chengan didn't know how to explain, and was afraid of saying the wrong thing again.
Xia Zhen understood his intentions, and also knew that he had misunderstood, and said, "I know, I don't have a burden..." Well, in fact, there is still a burden.
Pei Chengan knew that she wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't expose it. He smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't. Let's go, I'll take you home."
He reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, but Xia Zhen didn't move for a long time. Pei Chengan noticed it and asked her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhen turned to look at him with serious and resolute eyes, but her breathing was a little unsteady, as if she was making an important decision. When Pei Chengan saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicably bad premonition.
"Come here." Xia Zhen said. Pei Chengan thought she had something to say to him, so he leaned over.
Then, Xia Zhen grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled it forward. At the same time, she moved her face closer and kissed his lips.
This gesture was slightly rude, and the kiss was disorderly, Pei Chengan couldn't help laughing.
Realizing that he was laughing, Xia Zhen became furious and let him go. At this moment, Pei Chengan held her face to prevent her from running away, and continued the kiss.
Their kiss has always been warm and gentle, but this time Xia Zhen was a little crazy. It took a long time before it stopped. Both of them were panting, their cheeks were flushed, and they were very hot. In fact, not only their faces, but their whole bodies were hot.
Pei Chengan kept looking at Xia Zhen, but Xia Zhen didn't look at him, and only stared at him when she couldn't bear his gaze. Seeing his sweet smile, he said angrily, "Are you laughing at me?"
Pei Chengan looked innocent: "No, how could I laugh at you."
"Then what are you laughing at?"
"Smile when you're happy."
"What's there to be happy about?"
"It's a pleasure to be with you."
Xia Zhen couldn't help but also laughed, and said angrily, "You always say such things."
"I am telling the truth."
"rhetoric."
"It's the first time to get such an evaluation."
Xia Zhen laughed out loud, that's right, this kind of evaluation is really not suitable for Pei Chengan, his words are also very common, but it is precisely because he usually looks serious, saying such words is enough to make her feel sweet.
The two of them got bored for a while, and half an hour passed. If Ms. Tian hadn't called, Xia Zhen would still not be willing to leave.
As soon as Xia Zhen stepped out of the elevator, she received a call from Xue Chen. He said on the phone that next week's school celebration, the school invited the cabbage band back to perform, and Xue Chen asked Xia Zhen to join them. Xia Zhen was very happy about this, but she was a little worried. After all, when they were in school, many people thought they were a couple.
Xu knew that her thoughts were ordinary, Xue Chen said with a relaxed tone: "Just take it as a testimony of our friendship, and you can also let Pei Chengan see your demeanor on stage together."
