Endless Fall

199 You’re the One Who Took Advantage of Me

His voice was irresistible.

Lin Jiao’s expression did not change, but the tips of her ears turned red. “You won’t even have a chance to do anything.”

“I do.” Pei Zhi sucked her earlobe and said, “Try me if you don’t believe me.”

His unexpected action made half of Lin Jiao’s body go numb. Even the nerves in her brain started to scream.

“I believe you.” She did not intend to cross the line at this moment.

Pei Zhi said meaningfully, “Really?”

“Yes.” She pretended to be calm and threw away the skewer stick. “I realize you’re getting more and more overboard.”

“What’s worse is yet to come.”

“Pei Zhi.”

“I’m here.” He rubbed her waist and smiled even more dangerously. “Mrs. Pei, do you want to try?”

Lin Jiao covered his lips to stop him from talking.

She avoided his burning gaze. “Do you want to sleep on the sofa tonight? If you do, keep talking.”

“No.” Pei Zhi kissed her palm.

He held her slender wrist and caressed her wrist with his calloused fingers. “Jiaojiao, feed me a skewer.”

Lin Jiao leaned over and picked up two skewers of squid. As she fed him, they quickly emptied the box.

After filling up her stomach, she walked around the suit for ten minutes and watched television with him for half an hour before entering the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of running water mixed with the sound of the television.

Steam seeped out from under the door. Even from a distance, Pei Zhi could feel the heat.

He took off the watch on his wrist and slowly lit the cigarette.

He looked straight at the LCD screen. After smoking a cigarette, he calmed down.

“I’m done.” Lin Jiao walked to his side, her eyelashes still wet.

A nice and faint fragrance disturbed Pei Zhi’s heart.

He kissed her eyelashes. “Be good. Go in and wait for me.”

Lin Jiao nodded. “Remember to lock the door.” She picked up the phone on the table and turned to walk into the bedroom.

The hem of her pajamas disappeared behind the door. Pei Zhi retracted his gaze and let out a long breath.

He stood in front of the sink and took off his clothes. Just as he walked into the shower, he heard a soft voice outside the door.

“Pei Zhi, I forgot to wash my underwear.” Although he could not see her expression, he could still feel her embarrassment.

“It’s fine. I’ll wash it for you.”

“…Forget it.”

“It’s not like I never washed it for you before.” Pei Zhi chuckled when he heard the footsteps go away.

He squeezed two pumps of shower gel into his palm and applied it from his neck to his chest. Then, it flowed down his body, making every inch of his skin smell the same as hers.

Pei Zhi wiped the water off his body and put on a bathrobe.

He picked up the lace underwear that was left in the basket and spread it under the tap to wet it before applying soap.

“Jiaojiao, I’m done showering.” He lifted the blanket and slid into the soft bed. “Is there a reward?”

“What reward do you want?”

“Kiss me.”

She knew it.

Lin Jiao turned off the screen and put the phone aside. She leaned into his arms and raised her chin.

Once a prey that stepped into a trap was caught by a hunter, it would have no chance of escaping.

The kiss lasted for a long time under the night lamplight.

In the cramped environment, the temperature suddenly rose. Before it reached an uncontrollable level, the hunter let go of his prey.

“Don’t touch me.” Lin Jiao pushed him away to show her dissatisfaction.

“Are you going to act like nothing happened?”

“How dare you say that? You’re the one who took advantage of me.”

“You call this taking advantage of you?” Pei Zhi put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. “Then what about what will happen in the future?”

His words made Lin Jiao’s imagination run wild.

Lin Jiao’s face was even redder than before.

She buried her head in his neck and pressed her delicate skin against his collarbone. “We’ll talk about it in the future.”

“Do you still remember that you said I could do whatever I wanted?”

Lin Jiao pinched him. “I remember.” She asked him to turn off the night lamp. “I’m going to sleep in tomorrow. Let’s go out at noon.”

“Alright.” After getting the answer he wanted, Pei Zhi stopped teasing her.

He set the alarm. “Do you want a good night kiss?”

“No, good night,” Lin Jiao said. In order to prevent him from launching a sneak attack, she did not even look up.

She rested her head on his arm and closed her eyes. Even though she was in an unfamiliar environment, she could still sleep peacefully with him by her side.

When the first rays of sunlight shone in from the window, they were still sleeping in each other’s arms.

At this moment, Jiang Ye and Pei Yilan were heading towards the Pei family’s house with many gifts.

He drove along the street beside the market and stopped at the Pei family’s house.

“Yilan.” He unbuckled his seatbelt nervously. “Isn’t it too early to come?”

“No, they’re all up.”

“Then let’s go?”

“Ok.” Pei Yilan leaned closer and kissed his lips. “Don’t be nervous. My parents are very easy to talk to.”

Jiang Ye was put at ease by her words.

He picked up the gift box in the back seat and followed Pei Yilan to the entrance.

“Grandpa.” Pei Yilan changed into slippers with him and approached Pei Zhen, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa.

She smiled and said, “I brought Jiang Ye back.”

“Hello, Grandpa.” Jiang Ye placed the gifts on the coffee table and stood up straight. “I brought you something.”

Pei Zhen asked him to sit down.

He put down the newspaper and looked at the gifts. “Ye, next time you come back, don’t buy anything.”

He said ‘come back’.

Jiang Ye looked at that kind face and felt an indescribably warm feeling.

He relaxed. “Yes, I’ll listen to you.”

Pei Zhen had always been good at reading people. From their casual chat, he could tell that Jiang Ye was a good person.

He was very satisfied with Jiang Ye’s personality, especially more so after knowing that Jiang Ye knew how to play chess.

“Come and play with me for a while.” He sat at the chess table happily.

Jiang Ye pulled out a chair.

He picked up a white piece and asked Pei Zhen to place it first. He respected Pei Zhen and did not deliberately lose to him.

Pei Yilan, who did not understand the chess at all, held a fruit knife and started to peel an apple. “Grandpa, are my mother and the others not up yet?”

“They’re up.” Pei Zhen stared at the chessboard and did not even look at her. “They went out to buy groceries.”
