Chapter 89 Do you want me to be like this?
Shen Zhiyi returned the coat on her shoulders to Meng Qiming, who was confused and didn't understand what she was going to do. He tried to put the coat on her again, "Zhiyi, you put on the coat first."
She shook her head and looked forward again.
Pei Yu pushed through the crowd and walked towards her, looking into her eyes from a distance, and took a glass of wine from the tray beside him.
As he got closer, he lowered his eyes to glance at the wet marks on Shen Zhiyi's body, stood beside her, and handed her the wine glass.
"do you need?"
Shen Zhiyi raised her head slightly to look at him. Behind him was a brilliant sunset glow and half of his face was hidden in the dim light and could not be seen clearly. But in her eyes, Pei Yu was showing his bright side.
She took the wine from his hand, took a few steps forward, then raised her hand high, and before the man could react, she poured all the wine on him, and the wine dripped down his shirt.
No one expected her to raise her hand suddenly, except Pei Yu.
The man's face was full of astonishment. He never thought that Shen Zhiyi would dare to fight back, and in front of everyone. How dare she?
The anger of being humiliated made his face turn blue, he glared fiercely and was about to attack without thinking, but at this moment, Pei Yu glanced at him coldly, and he stopped moving in an instant as if frozen, standing there awkwardly and embarrassed.
Pei Yu took a few steps forward, took the empty wine glass from Shen Zhiyi, put his coat on her, lowered his cold eyebrows, and said softly, "Go to 8032 to change clothes."
That's his room.
Shen Zhiyi didn't say anything.
Pei Yu sighed softly as if helpless. He raised his hand to button up his coat, and gently squeezed her hand through the overly wide cuffs. "Be obedient, okay?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't raise her head, staring at the slightly open collar of his shirt, still unwilling, with a slightly stubborn expression, "I don't need it."
She was not referring to the glass of wine or the changing room, she was referring to Pei Yu's help.
Obviously, it didn't matter anymore, there was no reason for her to accept his help anymore - she always wanted to draw a clear line, as if this would allow her to ignore the still wavering heart.
"I know," Pei Yu was not angry. He understood her and knew that she had been wronged by others. He would not care about anything at this time. "This is Xiaoran's engagement party. You shouldn't let her worry about you, right?"
Shen Zhiyi finally looked up. She pursed her lips, knowing that what he said made sense and now was not the time to worry about these things.
After helping her tie up her collar, Pei Yu called a waiter to lead the way, "Go."
Shen Zhiyi looked back at him, then glanced at the man who was still frozen there. She was wondering how he was going to deal with it.
"Let Qin Fang handle it," Pei Yu said, "I won't interfere."
It is better to trouble Qin Fang than to trouble him. Shen Zhiyi felt relieved and left with the waiter.
"Mr. Pei," Meng Qiming had a complicated expression and withdrew his gaze from Shen Zhiyi. It seemed that no one could interrupt the atmosphere between the two of them just now. He could only watch from the side. From Shen Zhiyi's behavior, he guessed that the wine throwing was probably not an accident.
But Shen Zhiyi's counterattack did surprise him.
"Let me handle this matter," Meng Qiming offered, "Don't bother Mr. Qin. I know this guy and will ask him to apologize to Zhiyi."
"apologize?"
Pei Yu repeated these two words expressionlessly, his pupils dark, and his tone mocking, "Apologizing is not enough."
Hearing his hidden meaning, Meng Qiming said in astonishment, "Mr. Pei, you——"
He wants to intervene?
Qin Xiaoran, who received the news, had already rushed over. When she saw Pei Yu here, she knew that something was wrong. She glanced at the man with disgust. Although he was a friend she invited, she had so many friends and they all pretended to be good in front of her. Who knew that there were so many disgusting things.
Counting the last time, this was the second time that trouble had occurred in her place. She was really afraid that Pei Yu would be angry, so she carefully watched his expression, "Sister Zhiyi——"
Pei Yu did not answer, but said without emotion, "Next time you invite her over, you'd better get rid of her bad friends." This was not a reminder, but a warning.
Qin Xiaoran felt like crying but had no tears. He lamented his bad luck and wanted to retort: Why do you still care so much about others even though you have broken up?
But I dare not say this out loud.
She said listlessly, "Okay, then this person..."
How about she teach him a lesson in private?
Pei Yu walked past her and said, "Don't interfere."
I see, it means that person is doomed.
Qin Xiaoran chased after Pei Yu, "Where's Sister Zhiyi? I'll go see her."
Pei Yu turned his head and asked, "Are you free?"
"...That's not the case."
She secretly stuck out her tongue, how disgusting!
Shen Zhiyi changed her clothes in the room. The skirt was a spare one given by Qin Xiaoran. It was a little short for her and a bit cold in October.
She replied to the message sent by Qin Xiaoran. The door opened and closed with a slight sound. Pei Yu walked over and glanced at her ill-fitting skirt. "Send you home?"
"Need not."
Shen Zhiyi was not very comfortable, "Xiao Ran sent a car to take me there."
She didn't want to stay alone in a room with Pei Yu, as that would remind her of similar moments in the past. She picked up her changed clothes and walked out.
"Do you hate me so much?"
Pei Yu grabbed her wrist and turned into the cold and sarcastic person again, his words were full of thorns, "Didn't we agree to part ways in peace? Why are you avoiding me like this?"
"let me go."
The hand holding her loosened, but the warmth still lingered on her skin, like a brand. Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes and didn't look at him. "I don't like to have lingering feelings. There's no need, right? We will all start a new life."
He will meet new people, have a new lover, or even a wife.
"New life..."
Pei Yu chewed on these words with a mocking look in his eyes, "Are you talking about Meng Qiming? Is Meng Qiming the new life you want?"
Shen Zhiyi frowned and didn't want to argue with him about this. She said nothing and held the door handle.
The next second, Pei Yu suddenly pushed her against the wall with great force. She was restrained by this great force and raised her head in astonishment. "What are you doing?"
Her back hit the switch button in the entrance hall, and the lights went out. Pei Yu's face was hidden in the darkness, and only the sound of his shallow breathing responded to her doubts.
Shen Zhiyi tried to break free, but he held her tighter and kissed her with a deep gaze in the night.
She turned her head away suddenly, "Pei Yu!"
He stopped.
The two of them were very close to each other, as if they could kiss intimately like lovers at any time, but one was hiding and the other couldn't move forward.
Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes to hide the bitterness in them, "Pei Yu, don't act like you still have feelings for me. That's not suitable for you."
"Then what should I be like?" Pei Yu let go of her, "As romantic and heartless as my dad?"
"Shen Zhiyi, do you want me to be like this?"
