Pei Jingzhou retracted his hand and leaned back on his elbow, looking sideways at Li You. Li You was guilty and did not dare to look at him at all. Pei Jingzhou smiled faintly. “Alright, I’ll listen to you slowly quibble. You’d better quibble clearly.”
The terrace on the Qin family’s villa was very spacious. The light shone on Pei Jingzhou. From this angle, he seemed to be covered in a layer of soft light, like a god descending to the mortal world.
It was not that Li You did not know that Pei Jingzhou was good-looking, but to admire his beauty alone in this deserted place made her feel like she had made a fortune. She smiled ingratiatingly. “Actually, those thirteen letters…”
Pei Jingzhou interrupted and corrected her. “They’re love letters. I still recognize the words. Don’t try to fool me.”
Li You was about to lose her smile. Looking at Pei Jingzhou’s serious expression, she stammered, “l did accept those thirteen love letters, but I haven’t read any of them. I didn’t intend to read them. You found out…
because I didn’t have time to throw them away.”
With that, she stole a glance at Pei Jingzhou. He was looking at her, his eyes smiling. Suddenly, the broken line in Li You’s mind connected. She reacted and said in a self-righteous tone, “Why should I explain to you about the thirteen love letters? You can’t question me, okay? I shouldn’t have said anything.”
Pei Jingzhou waited for a long time to explain, but when he heard her unreasonable, righteous reason and fierce rebuttal, he laughed angrily and took a step forward, closing in on her.
Seeing him suddenly come over, Li You slowly retreated. “Just talk. Why are you so close to me!”
“Li You!” Pei Jingzhou called her name in a low voice. Li You looked at Pei Jingzhou’s angry face in horror and heard him say, “Don’t you know why I’m questioning you?”
Li You stuttered. “l, 1, l, how would I know!”
Pei Jingzhou asked again, “You really don’t know?”
“No, no, I don’t.” She was so nervous she couldn’t speak.
Pei Jingzhou seemed to want to say something else. It was obvious that he was in a dilemma. Li You saw his lips move a few times, but in the end, he did not say anything and only sighed. She blamed herself a little at the sound of his sigh.
Actually, she could have explained more clearly, but she had to find all kinds of reasons. Wasn’t she trying to anger him? But who knew? In her heart, she desperately wanted to see him stomping his feet in anger from her.
If Pei Jingzhou knew what she thought, he would probably ignore her in the future.
“Never mind.” After sighing, Pei Jingzhou said, “Forget it.” Then, he turned around and left.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Li You caught up. “l won’t accept it next time.”
Pei Jingzhou did not stop in the next moment, so Li You almost could not catch up to him. He returned to his usual cold and distant self and said coldly, “It has nothing to do with me. That’s your business. I don’t want to know.
After all, it has nothing to do with me.”
Li You:
Although he was not so angry that he was stomping his feet, this angry method made Li You very helpless. She seemed to realize that whatever she said was useless. Seeing that she could no longer keep up with him, she simply stopped and stood where she was. “I’m sorry,” she said to his departing back.
However, Pei Jingzhou acted as if he did not hear her and continued walking quickly.
This was useless, too?
“Ouch—” Li You suddenly cried out in pain. Then, she squatted on the ground and covered her ankle. She looked like she was in pain.
When she saw Pei Jingzhou, who had already walked far away paused for a moment, she quickly lowered her head and covered her ankle, pretending to be in pain as she counted in her heart.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…
She had just silently counted to seven when a pair of white shoes appeared in front of her. She didn’t need to look up to know that they were Pei Jingzhou’s shoes.
He turned back in the end.
Pei Jingzhou squatted down and looked at her pitiful appearance. He knew that she was doing it on purpose, but his heart still softened. It was because he could not bear to see her cry out in pain.
His voice was slightly lower. “Did you sprain your ankle?”
Li You looked up at him and pouted pitifully. “l sprained it.”
Pei Jingzhou was expressionless. “Can you walk?”
Li You looked at her ankle and then at Pei Jingzhou. She looked troubled. “I think… I can walk. You don’t have to worry about me. I just twisted my ankle.
I’ll be fine here.’
Pei Jingzhou asked her, “Are you sure?”
Li You:
He suppressed a smile, trying not to laugh, then reached out to her. “Come.”
Li You slowly raised her arms. Pei Jingzhou helped her up and carried her in a princess carry. It was easy. Every time he carried her, it was easy. Li You wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhou’s neck. “l thought you wouldn’t care about me.’
Pei Jingzhou said, “l originally had this plan, but I’m a gentleman after all. Even if someone sprains their ankle, I’ll help them warmly.”
Warm? Him?
If there was an annual joke, this would definitely be the joke of the year.
She couldn’t control her expression and laughed as she thought about it. Pei
Jingzhou stopped and looked at her sideways. “What are you laughing at?”
Li You groaned. “I’m happy.”
Pei Jingzhou asked, “Are you happy because you sprained your ankle?”
Li You shook her head. “No, I just thought of a joke.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “What joke?”
Li You said, “Pei Jingzhou is a warm-hearted person.”
Pei Jingzhou: ‘
When she returned to the room, it was finally cooler. She could admire the moon and count the stars in the balcony, but it was a little stuffy and hot. It was uncomfortable to stay too long, and there were mosquitoes. Li You’s arm had already been bitten twice, and unknowingly, a small patch had turned red. Pei Jingzhou placed her on the sofa and turned to look for the first aid kit.
Li You quickly said, “There’s no need for medicine. It’s just a slight sprain. I’ll be fine after sitting down and resting for a while.”
Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. Although he was not familiar with the Qin’s villa, there was usually a small medicine box in the drawer under the coffee table. Pei Jingzhou opened the drawer and found the medicine box.
After taking a closer look, he took some ointment and walked towards Li You.
Li You knew very well that her foot was not twisted at all. How could she explain it when she was seen through? She racked her brains.
Pei Jingzhou had already opened the medicine box in his hand and squeezed a bean-sized ointment on his finger. Then, he slowly leaned over. Li You quickly confessed, “Actually, I didn’t sprain my ankle.”
Pei Jingzhou paused. “I know.” Li You suddenly looked up at him. Pei Jingzhou smiled and smeared the ointment on Li You’s arm where the mosquito had bitten her. “This is pine cream.”
So it was pine cream.
After being bitten by a mosquito, the spots would dissipate quickly after this was applied.
She was so nervous that she did not look at the medicine box carefully. Previously, Pei Jingzhou had also used this pine cream to wipe the red spots of mosquito bites on her. Moreover, he had done it several times. One time when they went out, he did not bring anything with him except this pine cream.
She had no choice. She was a mosquito-type.
Pei Jingzhou applied them seriously. He applied the two red spots on Li Liyou’s shoulders that had been bitten by mosquitoes..
