173 Jiang Ye, I Think Iâm in Love with You
âThereâs no hurry.â Lin Jiao, who was not wearing slippers, stepped on his foot and looked up to ask, âHave you done dealing with the fly?â
âItâll take a while.â
âWill it affect you?â
âNo.â Pei Zhi picked her up and lay on the soft sofa with her. âI have a fly swatter.â
!!
Lin Jiao suddenly thought of Chu Yuzhouâs gift. âWhere did you put the gifts we havenât unwrapped yet?â
âIn the safe.â Pei Zhi kissed her red lips to divert her attention.
Lin Jiao, who was kissed until her eyes were blurry, was immersed in the temperament of his lips and forgot about the gift.
She calmed her breathing. âYou kissed me for so long again.â
Pei Zhi smiled and brushed her hair back.
He kissed her lips. âI canât control myself when it comes to kissing you.â
âYouâve never controlled yourself.â
âI did.â There were times he secretly controlled himself from crossing the line.
However, Lin Jiao did not know if he did not tell her.
She looked into his eyes. âCan you control yourself next time? Iâm curious what youâll look like.â
Pei Zhi nodded meaningfully.
He held her in his arms domineeringly and watched the TV in the long and silent night.
The cold wind collided with the glass window crazily, but it was to no avail. It could only drift away with the fallen leaves, looking for an unobstructed place.
In the movie town, many production teams were filming outdoors day and night.
The cold wind howled past the actors under the lamplight, causing them to tighten their coats.
Jiang Ye, who was trembling, focused when he heard the word action.
He alternated between his role and reality until Friday evening before he could have time to take a break.
âHow many days off?â Wu Rui, who came to the shooting site to see him, sent him home when he heard that he was going to take a break.
âA day.â
âBack tomorrow night?â
âThe morning after tomorrow.â Jiang Ye adjusted the passenger seat and leaned back to relax.
He looked at the calendar. âItâs the fourth today.â
âArenât you tired of counting the days?â
âNot at all.â
Wu Rui was really impressed.
He looked at Jiang Yeâs tired eyes. âI suggest you post it tomorrow.â
Jiang Ye suddenly looked up. âYou think Iâm doing the right thing?â
âOf course.â He handed him a cigarette while waiting for the light to turn green. âThe sooner you make it public, the sooner you can get rid of one thing on your mind.â
âBrother Rui, thank you.â Jiang Ye smiled, as if all the fatigue in his body had been swept away.
The joy he showed infected Wu Rui.
âWhatâs there to thank me for?â He retracted his gaze and continued driving. âHurry up and tell her.â
âAlright.â Jiang Ye sent Pei Yilan a WeChat message.
Not long after he sent the message, Wu Rui stepped on the brakes at the door of Ming Xin Mansion. âRemember not to let her show her face.â
âI know.â He closed the car door with a smile and walked towards the building.
The house Zhou Yanshen rented for him was in Unit 10.
The elevator in Unit 10 happened to be under repair. Jiang Ye had no choice but to climb the stairs.
âJiang⦠Yeâ¦â
A female voice that sounded like she was crying and laughing entered his ears.
Jiang Ye stopped in his tracks and leaned against the safe passage on the sixth floor, looking up casually.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, âHow may I help you, young lady?â
âI⦠want⦠to go home with you.â
âHome for what?â
âEat⦠you.â Pei Yilan slowed down her speech, creating a scary atmosphere.
Jiang Ye almost couldnât hold back his laughter.
âThen come down.â He pulled open the door on the left and coughed to hide his laughter. âGive me a bite first.â
âI⦠didnât⦠take a⦠shower.â
âItâs fine. Iâll boil the water.â
âAre you going to scald me with boiling water?â Pei Yilan rushed down the steps and pounced into his arms.
âThe piglet needs to be scalded to taste good.â
âYouâre the pig.â
...
Jiang Ye did not retort.
He held Pei Yilanâs hand and walked to the apartment on the left. As he opened the door, he asked her, âWhen did you arrive?â
âTen minutes ago?â
âNo wonder you didnât reply to my WeChat.â
âWhat did you send?â Pei Yilan changed into the couple slippers he bought. âI havenât had time to look at it yet.â
âOur relationship can be made public tomorrow.â
âTomorrow?!â She stood on her tiptoes in surprise and wrapped her arms around his neck. âWhat do you plan to post?â
âIâll show you after I post it.â Jiang Ye leaned down and kissed her between her eyebrows gently.
He looked into the kitchen. âWhatâs for dinner?â
âThe noodles you cooked.â
âOkay.â He asked Pei Yilan to sit on the sofa and turned around to walk into the kitchen to take out a piece of beef.
...
Listening to him wash and cut the vegetables, Pei Yilan felt like she was living a life after marriage.
She opened the takeout app and ordered some fruits and snacks to prepare for staying here overnight.
âYilan, itâs ready.â Jiang Ye stood at the dining table with two bowls of noodles and called out to her.
âWait.â Pei Yilan opened the door to get the takeout before walking over.
âWhat did you buy?â
âFruits.â She rolled the noodles up with her chopsticks and blew on it twice before bringing it to her mouth.
Last weekend, Jiang Ye showed off his culinary skills. She had only tasted it once before her stomach was conquered.
âJiang Ye.â She held her stomach and looked at him sincerely. âI think Iâm in love with you.â
Jiang Ye paused.
Before he could respond, she continued, âI can feel it in my stomach.â
Her expression and familiar words reminded him of a line from âLéon: The Killerâ.
âIs it warm there?â
âYes.â She immersed herself in acting. âI always had a knot there and now⦠itâs gone.â
âIâm glad you donât have a stomach ache any more.â Jiang Ye played along with her. âBut the noodles are going to become sticky.â
Pei Yilan walked out of her role the next second.
She quietly finished a bowl of beef noodles and asked him, âHow is my acting just now?â
Jiang Ye washed the cherries. âItâs especially good.â It was so good that he thought she meant every word she said.
âWho else have you acted with?â
âJiaojiao.â Pei Yilan put her hand in the running tap water and hooked his little finger. âWe all like to watch dramas.â
âWhich type?â
âAnything thatâs good. It doesnât matter what type it is.â
Jiang Ye held her hand and wiped it with a tissue.
He picked up the fruit plate filled with cherries and held her waist as they returned to the living room. âThen choose one and weâll watch it together.â
At the mention of watching something, Pei Yilan thought of After.
She opened her laptop and projected it onto the TV without hesitation. âThis is very good.â
âYouâve seen it?â
âNo, I heard that the plot is very exciting.â
Jiang Ye took off his slippers and lay on the sofa on the right with Pei Yilan. He covered himself with a blanket and enjoyed the movie. âIs this about school love or something?â
Pei Yilan nodded. âThe first one is.â
