This bathroom was not very big. Under such intimate actions, Gu Ningyou only felt that Pei Siyuan’s breath was all over her body, which made her a little flustered. She lowered her eyes and nodded: “Okay.”
With her permission, Pei Siyuan picked up the wooden comb on the sink. The girl’s hair in front of him was scattered on her back. It looked black and soft, and there was no resistance when combing it, but Pei Siyuan’s strength was still very light, like treating some fragile treasures.
“It is said that the husband pulls his wife’s hair and draws her eyebrows on the second day of their wedding to symbolise that the husband and wife will be loving and harmonious and grow old.”
As he spoke, Pei Siyuan tied her hair up with a leather band, and the simple and plain ponytail added a bit of youthful energy to her, making her look girlish.
“But we’re not married yet.” Pei Siyuan said this euphemistically, as if they were a newlywed young couple but have not yet developed to that point yet and he was a little too early in this execution.
“It’s okay to fulfill my obligations as a husband earlier.”
“But I don’t seem to have promised to marry you… You wouldn’t take this as a marriage proposal, would you?” Gu Ning You remembered the memory of the previous life before she got the certificate. At that time, she agreed to Pei Siyuan without thinking about it, not to mention the ring, he didn’t even kneel down on one knee, but she was now, after all, not the previous life person who was full of only Pei Siyuan in her heart and mind, she was looking forward to those romantic scenes in her heart, and naturally did not want her life event to end so hastily.
“Of course not.” Pei Siyuan chuckled and didn’t know what she was thinking about all day in her little head, “This is just what I said casually, whether it is a formal proposal or a wedding, I will be well-prepared. All the rituals that should be there, I will give you, and only you.”
At this moment, Gu Ningyou found herself seemingly looking forward to that day, but she still pretended to be indifferent and hummed lightly, “Then I’ll look forward to it.”
Pei Siyuan laughed and did not refute. The two of them were mushy together for a while before they each packed up and prepared to go out.
After going downstairs, the snow on the road had been cleaned up by the sweepers. Only the bushes and trees on the roadside still had some unmelted snow. Gu Ningyou wanted to have some fun, but the temperature of the snow was too low, and after playing for a while, her hands became a little red from the cold, and she almost lost consciousness.
“It’s so cold, it’s better to wear gloves next time before playing.” Gu Ningyou retracted her hand regretfully, “Let’s go have breakfast, I’m so hungry now.”
“Okay.” Pei Siyuan took her hand up and put it into the pocket of his coat. Compared to her hand, the man’s palm was hot, and the pocket was incredibly warm. It only took a while for her hands to warm up.
Strangely, Gu Ningyou felt that her heart had also become warm. Pei Siyuan made such a gentle action, making her feel as if her whole body and soul was being pampered, which was heartwarming and affectionate.
Pei Siyuan went to get the car and took her to the breakfast store she came to most often. At this time, it was already past the busiest time. They found a place in the shop and sat side by side.
“Yuan, I remember you said that you have seen me here many times before?” While waiting for breakfast, Gu Ning looked at the man beside her and chatted with him.
“Five times.” To this day, Pei Siyuan still remembered the brief encounters with her in his previous life before the official meeting. Although it was unilateral, those memories were properly stored by him, hidden in his heart, and never forgotten.
“What were you… thinking at that time?” He actually remembered it so clearly… At that time, what kind of emotions did he hold to break free from the shackles again and again to meet her?
“I didn’t think about anything, but I knew you would appear, so I came. Unfortunately, I can only see you once every time, and I didn’t have time to formally meet you and say hello, and you disappeared.”
“Did you… feel tired?” Gu Ningyou felt that she should not bring up this topic. Thinking of Pei Siyuan, who was watching her secretly in her previous life, she felt a burst of unspeakable emotion in her heart. Maybe such a move would look strange in the eyes of others, but when she imagined such a scenario, she felt sad, so sad that she even felt a little guilty, because she knew nothing about all this in her previous life.
“Not tired at all.”
Tired, of course, very tired, how could it not be tired to fight against the Creator? Pei Siyuan felt that he should go on saying what she meant, but at this time he didn’t want to use this method to win her heart, because he didn’t want to see her blame herself, even if that kind of blame was for him, “The moment I saw you, no matter how much suffering I had and tired I was, I forgot.”
Gu Ningyou once again got immersed into Pei Siyuan’s love for her, which was so strong that it was a bit exaggerated, and once again she did not know how to respond, but at this time the waiter from the breakfast store came over to them and served them a hot breakfast, just right to pull her out of the predicament.
Gu Ningyou has been hungry for a long time, and after the waiter put down the plate and walked away she couldn’t wait to pick up a fried bun and put it in her mouth.
“It’s so delicious, it still tastes the way I remember it.” Gu Ningyou ate too quickly and choked a little, she took another sip of soybean milk before she felt the stuffy feeling in her chest dissipate a lot, “His family’s soymilk is still so sweet.”
“Is it sweet? Give me a taste.”
Pei Siyuan took the cup of soymilk in her hand, and Gu Ningyou watched helplessly as the straw she had just drunk reached his mouth, and there was a burst of shyness in her heart: “You bought it too, why drink mine?”
“Yours is sweeter than mine.” Pei Siyuan smiled and returned the soy milk to her, “If you don’t believe me, you taste mine too?”
“No way, I’m not as cheeky as you.” Gu Ningyou’s voice became lower, after all, she was in the public, she couldn’t act like Pei Siyuan as if there were no one else. “There are people here. If you do this again, others will see it later.”
“You and I are boyfriend and girlfriend, and it’s not a shameful relationship. It’s okay to be seen by others.” Pei Siyuan saw her head getting lower and lower, and knowing that she was thin-skinned, he didn’t tease her any more, “Okay, I won’t do anymore, let’s eat.”
After breakfast, Gu Ningyou thought that Pei Siyuan would take her directly back home, but Pei Siyuan took her to a place she didn’t expect –
The City Central Library.
