The 22-year-old Pei Jingzhou was no longer the white-shirted young man who pinched her love blossoms in school and stuffed apples into her drawer.
He exuded the charm of a mature man. The combination of a brown shirt and black pants was impossible to ignore. The only thing that remained unchanged was his mesmerizing face.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Li You quietly for a few seconds and replied, “Is it possible that 1 1 m here to pick up someone else?”
The corners of Li You’s mouth, which was almost at the back of her head, suddenly pulled back. She stopped smiling and snorted arrogantly. Then, she pushed her suitcase and tried to walk past him. She shouted, “Excuse me.”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and really listened to her. He moved aside slightly to make way for her. The corners of Li You’s pursed lips lowered. He had moved away just like that. It seemed that he was really not here to pick her up…
However, she was not angry. After all, she had come back secretly behind his back this time. Pei Jingzhou did not know at all before this. It might have been a coincidence. She happened to be back today, and Pei Jingzhou happened to come to the airport to pick someone up.
She took two steps back to his side and said in a soft voice, “Then I’ll wait with you.”
Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, “You’re not passing by anymore?”
Li You pouted. “Don’t laugh at me.”
Pei Jingzhou reached over and took the suitcase from her hand. He held her hand with his other hand. “Let’s go.”
Li You blinked at him. “Aren’t you picking someone up?”
Pei Jingzhou said, “You really believe that?”
Li You:
Pei Jingzhou said softly, “I’m here to pick you up.”
Li You pulled her hand back. “Then why did you lie to me?”
“Then why didn’t you tell me you were coming back this time?” His reason was more valid than hers.
Immediately, the reasons Li You found were untenable. She might as well throw a tantrum. She turned her head and ignored him, walking forward with her head held high.
At this moment, many people came out of the airport one after another. Li You walked so quickly that she almost bumped into someone. One second, she was as arrogant as a little peacock, but the next, she quickly apologized non-stop.
Pei Jingzhou walked forward and grabbed her wrist. Without saying a word, he led her out of the airport. Li You could feel that he was angry. That faint anger was not so obvious, but she could feel it. To be more specific, she couldn’t see it, but she couldn’t ignore it.
Was it because she’d come back so suddenly that he was angry? Or was he angry because she hadn’t told him she was back this time? But wasn’t a surprise even happier? She wondered if she was the only one who thought so.
They got into the car. Along the way, Pei Jingzhou did not speak much at first. Li You had always been talkative. This time, she quietened down and sat obediently beside him. However, she felt uncomfortable after being quiet for too long. She slowly moved closer and closer to him.
When she touched his clothes, Li You stopped and looked up. “How did I provoke you?”
Pei Jingzhou did not say a word. Li You was never afraid of Pei Jingzhou’s expressionless face. He was a tiger in front of outsiders, but in front of her, he was a paper tiger.
Pei Jingzhou still looked at her quietly. Li You hugged Pei Jingzhou’s arm and tightened her grip. “You have to let me know what provoked you. How would I know if you don’t tell me?”
Pei Jingzhou’s lips twitched. “Are you sure you don’t know?”
Through Pei Jingzhou’s gaze, Li You suddenly thought of something. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately let go of his arm and sat up straight.
“Did you know that I had a minor car accident on the way to the airport?” Pei Jingzhou’s voice turned cold. “You call that a minor car accident?”
It was indeed this matter. She should have thought of it earlier. Since Pei Jingzhou was here to pick her up, it must have been her father who told her that she was back today.
How else would he have known she was back? Her father must have
mentioned to Pei Jingzhou that she had encountered a small car accident on the way to the airport.
She explained, “It was just a minor car accident. The cab I was in was hit by the aftershock. I don’t have a scratch on me.’
Pei Jingzhou’s tone was a little heavy. “It’s inauspicious to encounter such a thing when you go out. You should go back now. If anything happens again…”
Li You leaned over. “Pei Jingzhou, why do you still believe that you have to read the almanac when you go out?”
“l never believe in these things.” Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways. “But if it’s related to you, I believe it.”
Li You bit her lip and did not speak for a long time. She’d been hit in the knee in this minor car accident. Her knee hadn’t hurt at all since the four-hour flight. She was fine. However, in Pei Jingzhou’s opinion, a minor car accident was a huge matter.
Li You said softly, “l did it to surprise you.”
Pei Jingzhou said, “It’s a shock.”
“l was wrong”
“l forgive you.” “Hehe.’
“Don’t laugh.”
“Don’t I look good when I smile?”
Pei Jingzhou did not answer her. He just pressed her down and kissed her. Up until now, the two of them had been in a relationship. Their intimacy was limited to kissing. Other than that, neither of them had taken half a step past that.
Pei Jingzhou valued her very much and treated her almost like a treasure. Even though he had always known
