The floor-to-ceiling window in front of her had attracted her since Li Xiwu entered. Because it was a one-way glass, she could admire the aurora outside the window while soaking in the hot spring without worrying about being seen from outside.
Pei Jingzhou stood behind her and asked her gently, “Do you want to see a dreamier aurora?”
Li Xiwu looked up at the French window. The auroras she could see were beautiful enough, but Pei Jingzhou actually said that there were even more dreamy auroras. She asked expectantly, “Do you have to see them at a specific time?”
Pei Jingzhou replied, “Yes.”
In the past few days in Fairbanks, Li Xiwu had seen the aurora many times. She had also chased it on a glass-domed sightseeing train. She would never forget this experience in just a few days.
At this moment, Li Xiwu’s eyes were filled with anticipation. She asked Pei Jingzhou, “When will the dreamy Aurora you mentioned appear? Will it be long?”
“No,” Pei Jingzhou said in a low voice. “Soon.”
Soon, Li Xiwu understood why she would see it soon. She looked up in the direction where the aurora appeared and did not blink, afraid that she would miss the most dreamy aurora. At that moment, she ignored Pei Jingzhou’s movements behind her. It was only when he pressed her against the glass from behind that she realized what the so-called dreamier aurora meant…
He did not allow Li Xiwu to resist.
The temperature rose rapidly.
“Pei, Jing… Zhou!!” She snorted delicately.
Pei Jingzhou pressed his lips to the side of her face and reminded her, “Be quiet. Those two little guys are sleeping.”
Li Xiwu had no room to resist. She could only be forced to accept his coaxing at the beginning. Intermittent words spilled from the corners of her mouth.
“How… how could you use, um… Aurora to lie to me?”
“I’m not lying to you,” he said. He imprisoned the side of her waist with one hand and gripped her chin with the other, forcing her to look up at the aurora outside the window. “Look, is the aurora dreamy enough?”
Li Xiwu closed her lips tightly, afraid that she would not be able to control herself and make other sounds if she answered. Pei Jingzhou’s breathing became much heavier. He deliberately asked, “Honey, take a closer look. Isn’t it dreamy enough?” With that, he laughed softly. That laughter tickled Li Xiwu’s heart like a feather. The feeling of neither rising nor falling was really going crazy… “Honey, you don’t seem to think the aurora in front of you is dreamy enough.” Pei Jingzhou bit Li Xiwu’s ear. “Then I can only work harder.”
Li Xiwu:
She closed her eyes slightly. Under her gaze, the beautiful aurora outside the window was swaying non-stop. It was so fast that Li Xiwu could barely see it. It was dreamy. It was indeed dreamy.
Li Xiwu finally understood what Pei Jingzhou meant. Every frame in front of her was very dreamy. The aurora seemed to be constantly changing. The dark green halo was magnified under her vision, and the entire sky was filled with a dreamy halo.
It put her in a wondrous space.
The constantly changing halo made her dizzy and almost lost her balance.
Finally she begged for mercy. “I’m not watching anymore. I’m not watching.”
But Pei Jingzhou insisted that she continue to watch the aurora. He whispered in her ear, “Next time we go to Norway to watch the aurora, okay? Or to Greenland. It’s the biggest island in the world, covered in ice and snow. It’s also a good place to watch the aurora. We’ll look at it just like this, okay, honey?” Li Xiwu:
Li Xiwu was destined not to have a good sleep that night. She knew that Pei Jingzhou had planned this moment for a long time, but in the end, she still played along with him. The two of them watched a dreamy aurora that they would never forget.
She had thought that the consequence of accompanying him was that she would not be able to get up the next day.
However, to her surprise, she woke up before Pei Jingzhou. She looked at the time. It was still early. It was not even seven o’clock. She glanced sideways at Pei Jingzhou, who was lying beside her, sleeping soundly.
She shifted her weight, ready to get up.
Pei Jingzhou, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. His low and hoarse voice sounded. “Where are you going?”
Li Xiwu was pulled into Pei Jingzhou’s arms and could not get up for a moment. “It’s time to get up.”
Pei Jingzhou did not let go. “Sleep with me for a while more. It’s still early.”
Li Xiwu slowly turned from his arms and faced him. “Are you tired, Fourth Brother?”
Pei Jingzhou opened his eyes. There was a trace of confusion in his dark eyes.
He tightened his grip on her waist. “What did you say?”
Hmph, he clearly heard her clearly, but he still had to ask again.
Li Xiwu deliberately said, “Fourth Brother, do you want to drink some nourishing soup today? I’ll order you one, oh no, two servings. It’s to nourish your body. You must be exhausted after watching the aurora for so long last night.”
As she finished speaking, Pei Jingzhou suddenly turned around and pressed her down. “Do I need nourishment?”
Li Xiwu boldly looked straight into his deep and dangerous eyes. “Yes, you need some nourishment.” She still said so seriously. “It’s said that men who are more than twenty-five years old start to go downhill. I’m doing this for you, Fourth Brother.”
“Heh.” Pei Jingzhou chuckled.
This sounded a little creepy to Li Xiwu, but since she dared to provoke him, she was not afraid.
She kept provoking and lingering at the edge of danger. Her courage was commendable, and she admired herself. In the end, when Pei Jingzhou was about to get serious, Li Xiwu finally knew to beg for mercy. “I was wrong, I was wrong. Fourth Brother, I was wrong.”
She said a few times that she was wrong and begged Pei Jingzhou for mercy. Pei Jingzhou was angry and amused. “Did you do it on purpose?”
She blinked. Even her feigned innocence didn’t look innocent on her face at this moment. “How did you know?” she asked.
Pei Jingzhou had planned to let her go, but in the end, he made up his mind and taught her a lesson. In the end, Pei Jingzhou insisted on asking her again, “A man past the age of twenty-five goes downhill?”
“No, no.” Li Xiwu shook her head. “That’s another man, not my man.”
This sentence coaxed Pei Jingzhou into submission.
Li Xiwu didn’t get out of bed until almost nine. This time, Pei Jingzhou woke up before her. He was already dressed and felt refreshed.
Pei Jingzhou went over to take a look at the two little fellows. They were already awake. Youyou was sitting on the bed with her hair in a mess. Yaoyao had already put on his clothes and was putting them on for her.
Youyou rubbed her relaxed eyes as she cooperated with her brother to dress her.
Pei Jingzhou looked as relieved as a father.
Li Xiwu was washing her face. She didn’t close the door. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she began to do the day’s new makeup. Although her facial features and skin were good, she was also a woman who cared about appearances. She still dressed up seriously when she was outside.
While she was drawing her eyebrows, Pei Jingzhou arrived. He leaned against the door with his arms crossed and looked at her with gentle eyes.
Li Xiwu asked as she drew her eyebrows, “Are Yaoyao and Youyou awake?”
Pei Jingzhou nodded. “Yaoyao has already put on his clothes. He’s putting on
Youyou’s clothes now.”
Li Xiwu nodded and continued drawing her eyebrows.
Pei Jingzhou asked her, “Are you tired today?”
Li Xiwu’s hand trembled and she almost drew the lines of her eyebrows crooked. She glared at Pei Jingzhou angrily. “Shut up.”
Pei Jingzhou couldn’t help but laugh. “You can still glare at me. Looks like you’re not tired.”
Li Xiwu took off her eyebrow pencil and said seriously to Pei Jingzhou, “Be a human, Mr. Pei.”
“Alright, be a human.” Pei Jingzhou walked in.
Li Xiwu was shocked and retreated. “You can’t really…”
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. “Really what?” Then, seeing that he had taken out his cell phone, Li Xiwu heaved a sigh of relief. Pei Jingzhou showed her the phone. “I’ve booked a plane ticket to Hawaii. After winter in Alaska, we’ll go to Hawaii in advance for summer..”
