On the same day, after several more tests were conducted to confirm that all physical indicators were normal, the doctor told Bai Tao that she could be discharged from the hospital.
So Bai Tao looked at Pei Shi tentatively: "Then are we going home?"
"kindness."
Pei Shi was still as concise as ever, but on the way back, Bai Tao felt much more uneasy—
Now, Pei Shi and I are a married couple, and we are still very much in love. Judging from my memo, it seems that the frequency of indescribable things is still a bit high...
this…
Although I have accepted that Pei Shi is my husband, it doesn't mean I can accept this kind of thing...
According to the behavior patterns in the memo, in this kind of time when the separation is better than the newlyweds, generally speaking, although Pei Shi is still abstinent and self-controlled in front of outsiders, he will basically turn into a beast in an instant once he enters the house, and then he may not even have time to return to the bedroom, and lean against the wall, the table, or various places, pinching his waist, with red eyes, and...
It would have been fine if Bai Tao didn't think about it, but when she thought about it, she became completely frightened.
Rather than facing danger later, it is better to take the initiative now!
Bai Tao prepared herself mentally, and then leaned on Pei Shi's shoulder softly. She frowned slightly and rubbed her forehead gently with her hand: "My head..." She looked at Pei Shi tenderly, "Hubby, I still haven't fully recovered from the car accident. I still feel a little tired."
Because of Bai Tao's sudden approach, Pei Shi was not prepared at all and looked a little stiff.
Bai Tao actually didn't think much before she took action. Now that she was leaning on Pei Shi's shoulder and looking at Pei Shi's face so close, she realized belatedly that they had exceeded the safe distance - the two of them were too close, so close that if Pei Shi lowered his head slightly, they could kiss without any obstacles...
Bai Tao was a little embarrassed and was about to move away without leaving a trace, but the car came to a road that was being repaired and suddenly bumped. Not only was Bai Tao unable to move away, but she also lost control of her strength and fell completely into Pei Shi's arms...
Bai Tao felt her face turn red and her heart beat fast. It is said that the body has memories. Could it be that this body, after so many interactions with Pei Shi, automatically became like this when it met Pei Shi
This atmosphere, won't it get heated in the next second? Bai Tao felt even more nervous, especially since this Bentley model can raise the baffle between the driver and the back seat...
This is terrible!
It is our duty to protect ourselves!
Bai Tao immediately slipped out of Pei Shi's arms, and decided not to play tricks anymore, and announced directly: "Not tonight!"
As a result, when he said this, Pei Shi frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Shi is such a shameless person! After I hinted at him, this man actually pretended to be innocent and pure, hoping to get away with it!
"Just! I'm tired tonight! I want to sleep!" Bai Tao said, then she realized that her tone was a bit harsh, and then she turned to Pei Shi and smiled coquettishly, "Husband, you are usually busy with a lot of things, so you still have to pay attention to rest. Tonight, don't stay up late, go to bed early, I will watch you turn off the lights and urge you to go to bed early!"
Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao strangely. What's wrong with this woman? Why does she care when he goes to bed
He had a video conference with someone overseas tonight, so he couldn't sleep in order to adjust to the time difference. He didn't want to pay attention to Bai Tao, but he couldn't stand her chattering in his ear about the benefits of going to bed early and the disadvantages of staying up late, as if she was waiting for him to make a promise.
Pei Shi could no longer bear it, and announced his decision in a concise manner: "I won't sleep tonight." He glanced at Bai Tao, implicitly trying to tell her to take care of herself, "If you are tired, you can go to bed first, it won't affect me."
Pei Shi didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said, but it was like a bomb that instantly changed Bai Tao's three views.
Pei Shi! What a beast!!! He said he was tired, but he didn’t even care that he fell asleep and continued to “work”??? He thought it didn’t matter?!!! He even announced that he would not sleep tonight!!!
Is this a fucking human being??? Who can stand this!!!
But now that things have come to this, it seems meaningless to continue to persuade her to cheat. Bai Tao thought about it again and again, and finally, before arriving at the villa, she came up with a plan. She buried her head and started to operate on WeChat...
Pei Shi was resting his eyes when he suddenly heard a series of reminders from WeChat. He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and saw a dozen articles that Bai Tao had forwarded to him.
"The Best Life for a Moderate Man"
《The more you do, the faster you age! 》
…
"One Hundred Disadvantages of Lustful Men"
"Male morality: Don't have a lewd man: a lewd man will squander his wealth"
"… "
At this moment, Pei Shi finally understood what Bai Tao meant by "Not tonight".
At this moment, the car just arrived at the destination, and the instigator next to him had a calm expression of "I didn't do anything" on his face, and ran out of the car like a slippery slip under Pei Shi's gaze.
*****
Bai Tao felt that the explicit and implicit hints she gave were clear enough. After all, otherwise why would Pei Shi's face turn as dark as a squid that can spray ink after receiving the message
But it was impossible. Bai Tao ignored Pei Shi’s expression and ran into the villa.
This mountaintop villa is located in the most expensive area of Rong City. It is a stand-alone villa. The surrounding environment looks quiet and unique. When Bai Tao opened the door, she couldn't help but admire Pei Shi's taste.
“This decoration style is so unique!”
There is no complicated European style or exaggerated American style. The style of the house seems to be unique. Every decoration, furniture, and even the pot of green plants in the corner of the house are just right and unique. Every detail shows the owner's home decoration taste...
But Bai Tao felt something was wrong after she blurted it out. She pretended to look at Pei Shi sweetly and said, "Although I have seen it many times, every time I look at our house again, I can't help but sigh. Husband, your taste in decorating the house is as good as your taste in choosing a wife!"
"… "
However, Pei Shi was probably still unhappy because "it's not possible tonight". When faced with Bai Tao's praise of his taste, he was not only not happy, but even showed some real "want to die" on his face.
Yes, he has such a beautiful wife in front of him, but it's a pity that he can only see her but cannot sleep with her. If you put yourself in her shoes, if it were Bai Tao, she would also want to die. It is understandable that Pei Shi showed such an expression.
Fortunately, Pei Shi did not pursue the topic any further, as his phone rang. Bai Tao also took the opportunity to look around the villa. She walked upstairs and was about to open the door of the bedroom on the second floor when she was stopped by Pei Shi.
He seemed to have finished the call: "I have put the latest sample books that the magazine sent you a few days ago in your room on the third floor. They are not in my room."
Bai Tao ran up to the third floor and found that what Pei Shi said was right. The third floor had an obvious feminine scent. After Bai Tao took a look around, she confirmed that she and Pei Shi did not live together, because apart from her own set of toiletries, skin care products and clothes, there was no scent of another person in the room.
But... weren't they a loving couple like conjoined twins? Why did they not only have separate rooms, but even separate floors
Bai Tao looked at Pei Shi, but before she could figure out how to ask a tentative question, Pei Shi cleared his throat and spoke directly -
"You got angry before and kicked me out of the room." Pei Shi pursed his lips modestly, looking very calm, "So I had to move to the second floor. We didn't have separate rooms before, and we had a good relationship, so there was no problem at all."
I see!
Poor Pei Shi, he was actually kicked out of the room by himself!
In this world, it turns out that there are people who can be so humble for love! They have a home but cannot go back, and a house but cannot live in it!
Originally Bai Tao didn't think anything of it, but now when she looked at Pei Shi again, she felt that his calmness at the moment was tinged with a hint of sadness.
In the outside world, Pei Shi had never suffered such a punishment or such a beating. However, when he described this self-esteem setback, he was very calm, which showed that he was used to being oppressed by himself!
For a moment, Bai Tao felt pity for him and wanted to laugh.
Look, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place
But soon, Bai Tao became nervous again. Pei Shi brought up this topic, and she was afraid that the next sentence he would ask her was whether he could be allowed to go back to his room tonight.
This won’t do!
Bai Tao stared at Pei Shi warily and found that he was indeed a little tense.
Here it comes, he must want to go back to sleep, this man is really lewd! He keeps thinking about these things all day long. Maybe the reason why he was kicked out by me is because he doesn't think about anything else all day long. He only thinks about working hard all night. I am not made of iron, how can I bear it!
Bai Tao immediately stated: "No! I want to be alone tonight..."
As a result, before Bai Tao finished her declaration, Pei Shi's voice also rang out at the same time—
"Not tonight." The man's voice was a little gnashing. "I know, you don't have to say it again." He glanced down at Bai Tao and said, "Don't say it's not possible tonight, it's not possible every night from now on, forever."
At this moment, Bai Tao had only one thought in his mind: he was anxious, anxious, he was anxious!
It is said that if a man's request for sex is rejected, he will often get angry and embarrassed. This is indeed true! Look at Pei Shi now. If you don't let him do this or that, he will be so angry!
This man probably hadn't let out enough anger yet, so before rushing back to the company, he once again solemnly issued a statement to Bai Tao -
“Don’t send me stuff like that again. I’m not that kind of person.”
…
See, he's still holding a grudge.
*****
As soon as Pei Shi left and the alarm was lifted, Bai Tao completely let herself go. She lay on the bed for a while, and then thought about what Pei Shi had said before.
He said there is a sample book
The bedroom on the third floor is connected to an open study. Bai Tao walked in and saw a pile of books on the desk.
Since traveling through time, in addition to her marriage to Pei Shi, another very useful realization for Bai Tao is that she is now a successful cartoonist with both fame and fortune.
Coincidentally, the work that made her famous and opened up the market was exactly her debut work that traveled five years into the future. In the year that Bai Tao graduated, she published and released the work at her own expense. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit, and Bai Tao thus embarked on the path of a professional cartoonist.
What is now placed on the desk is the hardcover revised edition of this time-travel work.
Bai Tao checked and found out that this is the fourth reprint of this book. The cumulative sales have exceeded 500,000 copies and are about to break the one million sales mark.
For a moment, Bai Tao couldn't help feeling proud. He thought that all those publishing houses in the past had been blind. He was indeed a talented person!
Bai Tao only realized through reading the news that in the past five years, the dissemination of comics no longer relies solely on traditional paper media such as magazine publishing. Several major comic online platforms or apps have emerged, and their dissemination has completely surpassed that of paper media.
With nothing to do, Bai Tao opened a comic serialization network platform to see what comics will be popular in five years.
It was an unintentional act, but when Bai Tao followed the large picture advertisement spot on the homepage of the website, he actually started to read it with great interest.
The comic she randomly clicked on was called "Close to You Like This", which tells the workplace love story between a president with bipolar disorder and his indifferent female assistant. During the period, the second, third and fourth male characters, such as the female assistant's male idol childhood sweetheart, a scheming doctor, and a ruthless detective, also appear, mixing in many interesting elements in the form of a unit drama.
This work is light-hearted and humorous, the dialogue style is unique, the painting style is gorgeous but also cute, the character setting and CP are interesting, the sub-CP plot is also very full, and the plot is very colorful. Bai Tao laughed out loud at the funny interactions between the male and female protagonists while watching it.
It’s really beautiful!!!
However, such a good comic, the serialization last week was stopped! And it was stopped at the moment when the heroine bravely confessed to the hero! It was gone just like that!
"Rubbish author! Another damn out-of-chapter dog!"
Some authors, in order to whet the appetite of readers, deliberately end the story at the most fascinating part. As a cartoonist, Bai Tao naturally understands this, but as a reader, I still can't help but get angry.
When Bai Tao first clicked on this comic, she didn't pay attention to who the author was, but now she is obsessed with it: "Let me see which dog it is..."
She hummed in dissatisfaction and exited the page to look at the main page of the comic, and then Bai Tao saw her own name.
"… "
This is embarrassing...
This dog is actually me...
Bai Tao looked at her name on the screen, and suddenly she had mixed feelings. For a moment, she had only one feeling -
As expected of me!!!
Who can draw such a relaxed, cute, down-to-earth and unique work? Who can draw such a gorgeous but not contrived character? Who can draw such a compact plot line and a work with a love line that is not inferior at all? Who can break the chapter in such a place that is so annoying but so tempting
It’s me! It’s me! It’s me! It’s still me!
Bai Tao was indulging in self-admiration when her cell phone rang. The person on the screen was Song Yan.
According to Bai Tao's previous research, Song Yan was her assistant in the comics studio in recent years.
What could the assistant want from me
As a popular and successful cartoonist like myself, this call was naturally about some business cooperation or a commission for an article.
Bai Tao calmed herself down, prepared herself mentally, and then answered the phone.
Successful people, when faced with a collaboration no matter how large the amount is, must remain steady and calm, and must not show their emotions.
As a result, just as Bai Tao finished silently saying to herself to stay calm, she heard Song Yan's deafening roar from the phone -
"Teacher Bai Tao!!! When are you going to hand in your manuscript!!! Is this issue going to be delayed again?! You've already asked for leave for one issue! You can't delay this one again! Many fans in our super topic are so anxious that they are threatening to turn from fans to haters! Moreover, our contract with the platform also has a breach of contract liability for delayed submission of manuscripts. Do you want me to calculate the late payment fee for you!!!"
Why the hell is this assistant so fierce?!
"…" Bai Tao was questioned three times and stuttered, "W-what?"
Song Yan cried with tears in her eyes, "Your "Close to You Like This"! When will you hand in the next chapter? You promised me last time that you could hand it in today. If you keep going like this, I will just hang myself at your door. I'm only 21 years old and I've never even touched a man's hand. Can you bear it, Mr. Bai Tao?"
"..." Bai Tao said subconsciously, "I'll do it right away, I'll do it right away!"
"There are still five days left until the deadline! What day do you mean by soon? Do you need me to book a hotel and lock you up so you can draw without internet?"
No… no thanks!
Bai Tao immediately swore to the heavens and drew it right away!
This assistant was probably good at changing her expression. Once she got Bai Tao's promise, her tone immediately became sweet, and she said gently, "Also, Mr. Bai Tao, how long has it been since you posted on Weibo? It's time to get back on track! Don't forget our image of being as calm as a chrysanthemum to the outside world. Post more of your and President Pei's daily love and affection. Everyone is waiting!"
*****
Bai Tao hung up the phone, stared at the comics on the computer screen, and fell silent.
You may be able to get by for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Others use cheat codes when traveling through time, but my own experience is a bit miserable—
She really didn't know how the plot of the comic would develop next, and her mind went blank.
Others traveled to the past, reciting poems, painting, and quoting classics. At the very least, they could recite a winning lottery number or seize an investment opportunity. But I traveled to the future, penniless and in the dark...
Bai Tao searched the room but couldn't find any inspiration notebook or script draft or outline.
Forget it. There are still a few days left before the deadline. Maybe I shouldn’t be so nervous. I can get some sleep and inspiration will come tomorrow.
Moreover, after hanging up the phone with Song Yan, Bai Tao was still in a state of unreality. Her image to the outside world was actually as calm as a chrysanthemum!!! How could she be as calm as a chrysanthemum
Clips of your daily loving life with Pei Shi
Fortunately, there were a lot of notes in the memo, Bai Tao picked out one and posted it on Weibo.
No matter what, I am now a well-known cartoonist and Pei Shi’s beloved wife. Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a little proud. It seems that I have done well in the past five years. What about Pei Fei
When she thought of Pei Fei, Bai Tao couldn't help it, she searched again using Pei Fei as the keyword.
Five years have passed, what is Pei Fei doing? Why haven't I seen Pei Fei for so long? I am her sister-in-law, and she has been in a car accident, why don't you come to express your condolences and meet her
It would have been fine if I hadn’t read the result. As soon as I saw Bai Tao, I got angry. Pei Fei actually has a Baidu Encyclopedia!!!
"Pei Fei, a well-known pianist, currently lives in Austria. She has a noble temperament like orchid, gentle and elegant, with a profound background. She comes from a family of scholars. Elegance, nobility and dignity are her synonyms..."
What the hell? Just Pei Fei? Still noble? Still elegant? It wasn't like this when she slapped me in the face and cursed me without asking any questions!
No wonder I can be as quiet and elegant as a chrysanthemum. Even Pei Fei can be noble and elegant!
There is nothing strange in the world!
