153 He Had Put in Efforts in Those Two Years

Seeing that he was not going to admit what he had done wrong, Pei Yilan clenched her fists.

She resisted the urge to splash the coke on them and looked at them with a fake smile. “Gu Quan, you really don’t deserve her.”

Gu Quan seemed to understand what she meant.

He met Pei Yilan’s mocking gaze and said disapprovingly, “I also put in a lot of effort in those two years.”

“You still have the cheek to tell me that you’ve put in a lot of effort?”

!!

“That’s the truth.”

Pei Yilan had never seen such a shameless person. “It’s the fact that you hurt her very badly.”

Gu Quan did not deny it.

He could not erase the pain he had caused Lin Jiao, so the guilt in his heart had always been there.

Su Tian, who did not want him to divert his attention to other women, hugged him. “Quan, let bygones be bygones.”

Her act of innocence was disgusting to Pei Yilan.

“It’s disgusting.” She broke free from Jiang Ye’s arms and said, “The b*tchy smell is too thick. Let’s find somewhere else to wait.”

“Let’s sit over there.” Jiang Ye raised his chin to point in a direction.

He put an arm around her and walked away.

As soon as she sat down, Pei Yilan bit the straw and took a big sip of cola. “It’s really unlucky to meet that adulterous couple!”

“Who did he betray?”

“Jiaojiao.”

Jiang Ye’s expression froze.

He did not seem to expect it to be Lin Jiao. After confirming it again, he looked at them. “There’s something wrong with his taste.”

“Indeed.” Pei Yilan looked at Su Tian with disdain. “She’s inferior to Jiaojiao in every aspect.”

“There’s no way they can be comparable.”

Jiang Ye had always been good at reading people. Her expression just now did not escape his eyes.

He fed Pei Yilan a piece of popcorn. “She’s quite scheming. I can’t believe that Gu-something can’t tell.”

“How can you tell she’s scheming?”

“When Gu said that he had put in a lot of effort in those two years, she didn’t look happy. Later on, she was very anxious to divert his attention.”

“I didn’t notice it just now.” Pei Yilan turned her head away in annoyance.

“They’re not worth your attention.” Jiang Ye kissed the side of her face through the mask. “Don’t be angry.”

His breath brushed against her skin through the thin cotton cloth like a feather, making her feel itchy.

Pei Yilan’s anger seemed to have dissipated.

When she heard the notification sound from the stereo, she picked up the Coke and followed him to the screening room.

The adulterous couple watched the same movie as them.

However, their seats were too far apart and it was not easy to see faces in the dim environment, so it did not affect Pei Yilan’s mood.

As the opening song ended, a scene that made people burst out laughing appeared.

The laughter coming from the surrounding people was different. Immersed in such an atmosphere, it was easy to forget all the unhappiness.

Jiang Ye held her hand the entire time. Occasionally, he would look at her.

Even without saying a word, they could feel each other’s presence.

A comedy was playing on the screen.

A romance movie was playing in the room.

It was the same for couples in love. No matter where they were, they could capture the joy that lingered around them.

“If you look at me again, I’ll kiss you.” When Jiang Ye caught her peeping at him, he leaned over and whispered into her ear.

His straightforward gaze made Pei Yilan blush.

She moved closer to him, looking for an angle to raise her chin that no one else could see. “For you to kiss.”

Jiang Ye pulled down his mask without hesitation.

He covered her slightly pouting lips, closing the distance between them.

The mixed sweetness of coke and popcorn seemed to have a special attraction, making them immersed in it and unwilling to leave.

When the lights above their heads suddenly lit up and a conversation entered their ears, Jiang Ye pulled himself away from the sweet whirlpool.

He rubbed her lips. “Do you want to see the bonus scene?”

“No.” Pei Yilan helped him pull up his mask and walked out of the narrow aisle.

They ignored Gu Quan and Su Tian and disappeared into the night in a taxi.

The driver stepped on the brakes at the entrance of an alley in the old district.

Jiang Ye walked under the moonlight with her, enjoying the autumn breeze.

He had never sent her home before. This was the first time he saw a place uniquely different from all those modern skyscrapers.

“Yilan.” He looked around at the brick wall on both sides. “Where do you live?”

“We have to turn a few more corners before we can see it.”

“A quadrangle courtyard house?”

“No.” Pei Yilan pushed aside the strands of hair on the side of her face. “My house is an ordinary residential building.”

“A house?”

“Yes.” She lowered her eyes and looked at the two shadows elongated by the street lamp. “It’s only got two floors and not too big.”

“Your entire family lives together?”

“Uncle doesn’t live with us.”

A black cat suddenly entered Jiang Ye’s line of sight.

He pursed his lips. Before he could ask if she was afraid, he heard her say, “He lives outside with Jiaojiao.”

“That’s good.”

“Um.” Seeing that his reaction was calm, Pei Yilan deliberately emphasized, “I’m very envious.”

Jiang Ye walked around to her right to block the cat who was staring at them. “You’re different from him. I don’t recommend you move out.”

“How is it different?”

“He’s a man. He can protect himself.”

Pei Yilan was stunned.

She looked at his serious expression and burst out laughing. “I’m saying I’m envious of Jiaojiao.”

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

He thought about what she had just said and wanted to confirm it. “What do you envy her for?”

“She can see someone she likes at any time.”

“So?”

“I haven’t shacked up with anyone before.” Pei Yilan tried to test his reaction. “I want to try.”

Her hint was obvious. However, Jiang Ye wanted to be responsible for her.

He said seriously, “It’s too early to live together.”

“When do you think is the right time?”

“At least after we’ve been dating for six months.”

Lin Jiao was right. If she discussed it with him, it would definitely not happen next month.

Pei Yilan was lost in thought, trying to come up with a plan to persuade him.

Her silence could easily cause Jiang Ye to misunderstand. He held her hand tightly and chose to give in. “How about five months?”

“No.”

“Then when do you think is good?”

Pei Yilan threw the question back to him. “Think about it yourself.”

“When did they start living together?”

“A week after they started dating.”

“That soon?” Jiang Ye found it hard to believe, but he knew that she was not joking. “Do they sleep separately or together?”

Pei Yilan looked up. “What do you think?”
