I don’t know if Bai Tao’s begging finally worked. Although Pei Shi was so busy on weekdays that he could hardly be found, and he didn’t even get home until 11 o’clock on Friday night, he really kept his promise and completed all the weekend’s work on weekdays. Bai Tao’s weekend plan went perfectly!
She got up before daybreak and prepared all the luggage, so when Pei Shi got up at seven o'clock and looked at the suitcases piled in the living room, his face was filled with indescribable astonishment.
He looked up at Bai Tao: "What is this?"
Bai Tao suddenly felt that all her morning's work was worth it. Look how surprised Pei Shi was.
She smiled proudly, "Honey! I packed these things for us to take camping with us!"
"..." Pei Shi looked at Bai Tao in disbelief, "Camping?"
At this point, Bai Tao decided to reveal the correct answer to today's activities: "Yes! This is the secret plan for this weekend! We are going to camp in the nature park! Two days and one night! In order to let you experience the ultimate luxury camping experience, I have specially packed all the daily necessities that may be used! Make sure you can feel at home even when camping outside!"
Perhaps Pei Shi was too surprised by his decision, and the man didn't react for a long time. After a long time, he calmed down as if he had regained his sanity, and looked at the suitcases piled up in the living room by Bai Tao.
"You want to bring so many? You can't carry them..."
Bai Tao flirted with Pei Shi: "Hubby, your jokes are not humorous at all. You have to carry so many things, of course you should carry them! Today, I am confident that you will have an unforgettable weekend!"
"… "
*****
The nature park chosen by Bai Tao was nearly two hours' drive from her home. Because she was tired from getting up early to pack her luggage, she fell asleep in the back seat throughout the journey.
This is such a lovely wife.
I don't know how, but Bai Tao was exhausted just by packing the whole house. The poor porter himself didn't even complain of being tired - it took Pei Shi four trips back and forth just to load a series of suitcases into the trunk of the car. As for the remaining suitcases, the trunk really couldn't hold them all, so Bai Tao had to give up reluctantly.
Bai Tao joked with a smile that this was a journey of a domineering president and his lovely wife, but Pei Shi felt that a more appropriate description would be a lady and a groom.
He thought this woman was going to give him some surprise this weekend, but he ended up working overtime for a week just for this
At this moment, Pei Shi was driving while doubting himself. He felt that he should have his brain checked out recently, as Bai Tao's brain problem seemed to be contagious from person to person.
In order to spare some time for the weekend, Pei Shi had been working non-stop for a week which was actually quite tiring. He felt a little drowsy driving alone. He could have played some music to keep himself awake, but seeing Bai Tao sleeping soundly, Pei Shi finally gave up on playing the music.
Of course, Pei Shi didn't think that he did this to make Bai Tao sleep well. He just didn't want to cause trouble. After all, Bai Tao's temper was very deadly when she got angry. She had a serious bad temper when she woke up, and now her brain was broken. He shouldn't conflict with her. This was out of pity for the vulnerable group.
Fortunately, two hours was not too long. Pei Shi soon arrived at his destination. When he parked the car, Bai Tao had not woken up yet. Pei Shi felt that he was not in a hurry. But when he took out his mobile phone to deal with work, he found that because of the hard work on weekdays, he really had no work left this weekend. He even gave Yuan Mu, who was on call 24 hours a day, a day off.
Without a job, I can only play Go.
Bai Tao woke up after Pei Shi played Go for an hour. Because of the full sleep, she was in a good mood. She jumped out of the car and rubbed against Pei Shi's arms. Although it was troublesome to wait for someone, Bai Tao's rubbing against him to show her goodwill was quite pleasing to the eye. Pei Shi decided to forgive her laziness.
"So what's the plan for today?"
Although the journey was long, Bai Tao was willing to come and spend the holiday with him, which was worthy of praise. This natural park had beautiful scenery and fresh air, and was indeed suitable for escaping from the city and relaxing on weekends. Pei Shi looked at Bai Tao, waiting for her to choose a hiking route, but Bai Tao did not seem to plan to take a walk. Instead, she pulled Pei Shi to -
Bicycle rental point
Pei Shi frowned.
Bai Tao was very happy. She took Pei Shi's hand and swung it back and forth: "Hubby! Let's go back to our love path today! Just like before, one of us will ride the other around the lake." After she finished speaking, she acted coquettishly towards Pei Shi, "It's actually quite romantic that you could think of this way of dating..."
Seeing Bai Tao's confident and intoxicated look, even Pei Shi almost believed that he had really dated Bai Tao like this in the past.
But looking at the bicycle in front of him, Pei Shi quickly calmed down.
He can't ride a bicycle.
So this is probably some messed up press release that Bai Tao saw somewhere...
Unfortunately, it was their turn in the car rental queue soon. Bai Tao happily rented a car: "Let's go! Husband!"
Even at work, Pei Shi had never been in such a situation. From childhood to adulthood, because he had a car to pick him up, he never realized that there was anything wrong with not being able to ride a bike. But for the first time in his life, Pei Shi felt anxious and nervous because he did not have the skills to ride a bike.
If he couldn't ride the bike with Bai Tao, then Bai Tao would definitely get suspicious, and then she would find out everything...
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After Pei Shi finished speaking to Bai Tao, he walked towards a place not far away.
He was not going to the toilet, of course. Instead, he called Yuan Mu the first thing he could do: "Why wasn't there any news about me riding a bicycle with Bai Tao in it in the news reports I collected before?"
Yuan Mu wanted to remind his boss that he had agreed to give him a day off... But in the end, his strong professional ethics allowed him to find the news his boss requested within two minutes: "I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, this news is ranked on the twentieth page of the search engine due to keyword searches, and the source is unknown, with all the words 'it is said' and 'it is learned', so I didn't provide it to you."
Yuan Mu was very dedicated and wanted to continue his analysis, but Pei Shi interrupted him: "Got it, hanging up."
Pei Shi didn't have time to care about his special assistant's mood at the moment. He opened the news report almost immediately, wanting to make sure that he could match every detail and not have too many loopholes.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Pei Shi's originally frowned brows slowly relaxed as he read the report.
God didn’t treat him unfairly!
God doesn't want to kill him!
This news report did not specify that Pei Shi was riding a bicycle to carry Bai Tao, but simply wrote "one carrying the other". When Pei Shi saw this, he finally regained his calm and composure. A successful person should not lose his composure at critical moments, because there are always details that can help you turn the tide.
He straightened his collar and walked back to Bai Tao calmly.
*****
While waiting for Pei Shi, Bai Tao could not help looking around. The young couples who came to rent bicycles were already riding happily together. The girl was hugging the boy's waist, with a sweet and youthful look on her face. Even Bai Tao was infected by this and felt that the sunshine today was a little brighter. And at this time, Pei Shi finally came back.
The man walked against the light, with an upright posture, tall and slender, and aura. Even the little girls with boyfriends around him couldn't help but look at him curiously. Bai Tao felt a little proud for a moment, and jumped forward to hold Pei Shi's hand. She was afraid that Pei Shi would not be able to bring himself to ride a bicycle like a young couple because of his current status, so she had already prepared some lines to act coquettishly. However, before Bai Tao could say anything, Pei Shi spoke first -
"Then let's go."
Bai Tao looked at Pei Shi sweetly and suddenly felt that the man became even more handsome. It seemed that he still loved her deeply in his heart. He agreed so naturally and obediently to an activity like cycling, which did not quite fit in with his current image as a domineering president.
"That… "
"Then you ride it."
Before Bai Tao could react, she saw Pei Shi standing at the back seat of the car. He glanced at her and said, "You can get in the car. There will be an uphill section later. Add some gas and step hard."
As Bai Tao stared in amazement, Pei Shi smiled at her and said calmly, "Didn't you say that this time we were here to relive the memories of our love? Then let's restore everything to the way it was back then." He paused and said in a convincing and confident voice, "That's how it was in the past."
Wasn't Pei Shi the one who was driving her? Bai Tao was a little nervous. After all, she had traveled through time and space and had no memory of the past. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and be exposed, so she immediately made an excuse: "Honey, I have to pee urgently. I'm going to the toilet first!"
After saying that, Bai Tao quickly ran away from Pei Shi, and then secretly flipped through her phone. She read the news report again and finally found the blind spot in it -
Indeed, the news report did not clearly state that Pei Shi was driving himself, but only stated that “one was driving the other”…
so…
So it was actually me who drove Pei Shi
this…
This is a bit different from the version I understand...
But Pei Shi's confident look and convincing attitude meant that he was telling the truth. Bai Tao felt complicated but also felt relieved. Fortunately, she didn't blurt out something about what happened when Pei Shi drove her before, otherwise it would be completely exposed! Pei Shi would definitely be suspicious!
In order not to attract Pei Shi's attention and thus cause unnecessary trouble, Bai Tao decided to follow her past memories with tears in her eyes - she would just give Pei Shi a ride herself!
She put down her phone, returned to Pei Shi's side, climbed onto the bicycle with a slender posture, patted the back seat and said, "Come on! Husband!"
Pei Shi looked a little unnatural, but in the end, he calmly sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
…
Ten minutes later, Bai Tao was sweating profusely as she pedaled hard, while Pei Shi sat on the back seat like a big bird. Because Pei Shi was a bit heavy, Bai Tao was really tired from riding uphill. And beside her, "a thousand sails passed by the side of the sunken boat", other couples quickly surpassed them...
If not long ago, the little girls in these couples would look at Pei with envy at Bai Tao, then at this moment, when they looked at Bai Tao who was riding hard and the handsome man on the back seat, they only showed great sympathy for Bai Tao.
Fairy tales are really lies. The plots in youth comics are all fake.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is completely false, because when going downhill, when Bai Tao rushed very fast, Pei Shi on the back seat was frightened as if he was riding a bicycle for the first time. He stretched out his arms to hold Bai Tao and hugged her waist...
If you think about it calmly, and don't get bogged down in the details, this is not much different from the plot in the comics - it is indeed one person carrying another, circling the lake in the breeze and sunshine, one holding the other's waist, the two people are very close, and you can feel Bai Tao's violent heartbeat - Bai Tao's heartbeat that is pounding due to the intense exercise.
Other than the gender swap, there's nothing wrong with it.
In order to fully restore the memories of her love, Bai Tao bravely cycled around the lake, but when she got off the bike, her legs were so sore that she couldn't walk anymore - what was wrong with her? When she was in love, she actually rode a bike with Pei Shi? So it wasn't Pei Shi who was flirting with her, but she was flirting with Pei Shi
At this moment, Bai Tao felt numb all over. She squatted on the ground, rubbing her sore legs, and felt that her weekend plan had failed.
At this time, Pei Shi walked towards her: "I'm hungry."
According to the plan, the next stop should be a barbecue spot, but now Bai Tao can't walk at all. She is tired and wronged. How could she like Pei Shi? She is so tired, but he doesn't care about her. He just wants to eat! A selfish man, he only cares about himself!
Bai Tao was in a bad mood, so she didn't reply. Pei Shi seemed unconscious, and then he repeated: "I'm hungry. Do you want to go eat?"
Just before Bai Tao opened her mouth to scold him, the man squatted down and said, "Let's go."
Bai Tao lowered her head and said unhappily, "I can't walk!"
She was about to cry when she thought about what happened that day. Did Pei Shi really love her? Even if it was just to relive the past, was it necessary for him to let her drive him? She was so tired, but he didn't even ask someone else to drive her...
"Come up." Pei Shi was quite calm, but he looked away and said unnaturally, "I'll carry you."
It was at this moment that he belatedly realized that something was wrong with Bai Tao. The man was stunned for a moment, then asked in a panic, "Are you crying?"
Bai Tao was just secretly crying, but when she heard Pei Shi's voice, for some reason, the tears that she had been able to hold back burst out, and she began to cry wildly. Through her blurred vision due to tears, she only saw that Pei Shi's usual aggressiveness and eloquence in business negotiations were gone. The man was a little flustered and even tried to wipe his tears with his hands in an awkward manner. He would only repeat one sentence throughout the whole process -
"Don't cry."
"If you can't walk, I'll carry you."
…
Five minutes later, Bai Tao stopped crying. She lay on Pei Shi. Although she was still a little confused, she seemed to feel better as time went by.
The barbecue spot was some distance away from here, and Pei Shi carried her on his back for a long time, during which they had to cross a small hill. The uphill road was steeper than the one they had ridden before, and the journey was also longer than along the lake.
Bai Tao felt mentally balanced.
At this time, the park was a little windy. Bai Tao shrank her nose and leaned closer to Pei Shi's back, with her ears gently pressed against his warm back. Pei Shi's voice came through his back and reached Bai Tao's ears. It was a little different from usual. Perhaps the medium had changed, and Pei Shi's voice sounded much gentler and softer.
"Are you cold? Do you want me to take off my coat for you?"
Unfortunately, before Bai Tao had time to be moved, Pei Shi added unnaturally: "I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that you might catch a cold and infect me."
"… "
Damn Pei Shi, is it so hard to shut up
Bai Tao nestled on Pei Shi's back and began to think deeply about how she got together with Pei Shi. Was it because of Pei Shi's talkative mouth? Or was it because of the heaviness she felt when she rode a bicycle with him
Bai Tao thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Pei Shi, why did I marry you?"
Pei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly, the man calmly said: "Because I am excellent."
Before Bai Tao could show any doubt, he added: "I have many advantages."
"for example?"
Pei Shi paused for a long time, then spoke again: "I will carry you."
Bai Tao was speechless: "Zhu Bajie can also carry his wife on his back."
"..." Pei Shi retorted, "I am better looking than him. I eat healthily, have a regular schedule, and exercise regularly. I manage my body better than him..."
Bai Tao still held a grudge and brought up the past: "But you didn't ride your bike to carry me! You asked me to carry you! I was so tired! My legs were broken, so I had to let you carry me!"
"… "
Facts speak louder than words, and Pei Shi was unable to refute a word.
Bai Tao started to act up: "You don't love me at all! You won't even give me a ride on your bike! Other couples always have the guy giving the girl a ride, but you just don't love me."
Faced with the accusations, Pei Shi chose to remain silent.
Bai Tao had just said it casually, but seeing Pei Shi's reaction, she couldn't help but feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, the man finally spoke again in a dry voice.
“I can’t ride a bike.”
Bai Tao was stunned.
Can't ride a bike? Is there anyone who can't ride a bike
Pei Shi seemed to be giving up everything and said, "I don't know how to ride. I've never learned it."
Bai Tao was silent. She had never thought that Pei Shi's refusal to give her a ride was not because of a lack of humanity or moral degradation, but simply because... he didn't know how to ride...
Because the answer was so shocking, Bai Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long silence, Pei Shi spoke again. He cleared his throat and said naturally, "But it shouldn't be difficult. I'm very good and I learn things very quickly. I'll start learning next week and I can give you a ride later."
You dare to give me a ride but I don't dare to sit in it! Your driving skills are not good enough!
But Pei Shi's next words made Bai Tao unable to complain or grumble.
"So don't be angry."
"I didn't mean to refuse to give you a ride."
…
Bai Tao's grievances, unhappiness and discomfort, all her emotional wrinkles seemed to be miraculously smoothed out by these few words.
"So when we went to the nature park to ride a bicycle before, you asked me to give you a ride because you didn't know how to ride?"
"kindness."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
“It’s embarrassing.”
The more serious and awkward Pei Shi's answer was, the better Bai Tao felt. Why didn't she notice it before? Pei Shi's mentality was quite cute, like a little boy, like a younger brother.
The barbecue spot was not far away. Bai Tao called Pei Shi to stop and jumped off his back. Her legs had almost recovered, so she ran away.
But before getting off Pei Shi's back, she took advantage of the convenience of holding Pei Shi's neck with both hands, bit his ear, kissed his cheek quickly, and then whispered in this man's ear: "If you learn to ride a bicycle quickly, I will give you a reward."
After doing all this, Bai Tao's face turned red.
Pei Shi's ears also turned red.
