Pei Muchan fell silent for a moment, then looked away.
“No.”
Xu Qingyan didn’t argue with her about whether she was angry or not; it wasn’t important. He had never been in a relationship either. During his university days, those around him were either fawning sycophants or notorious players.
There was a clear dichotomy, with the wolves and the dogs all in one pack.
Of course, he strategically despised the fawning sycophants, and tactically studied the notorious players—not to learn their limitless philandering, but to learn some skills.
“Time really flies, huh? Half a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.” He leaned against the edge of Pei Muchan’s desk, “You used to ignore me, and now you can even get angry with me.”
“When have I ever ignored you?” Pei Muchan looked up, frowning slightly.
“Alright, my bad.” The corners of Xu Qingyan’s mouth rose in an arc as he moved a computer chair from the opposite side over to her, “The bracelet… shall I help you put it on?”
Pei Muchan looked down yet did not refuse him; perhaps she herself didn’t know what she was annoyed about, only sensing a vague feeling of crisis.
It was like the oppressive heat before a downpour when suddenly, a coolness tore through a small opening.
Her intuition was sharper than most people’s, yet she habitually played dumb, subconsciously ignoring certain things, so she could feel a bit better.
During her idle moments, she sometimes wondered if she should start dating. But she had never been in a relationship and didn’t know how to be in one, and the other party was often out of sight.
These feelings were minor, not enough to be called anger, just a fleeting confusion.
“I’m starting now, doesn’t this bracelet seem a bit too small?” Xu Qingyan picked up the bracelet, muttering to himself while shamelessly fiddling with Pei Muchan’s hand.
Pei Muchan: “….”
“Your hand is pretty small too, and your skin is really nice.” Xu Qingyan was so absorbed in touching her hand that he didn’t see the increasingly speechless expression on Pei Muchan’s face.
“You know, this counts as harassment. I could call the police.” she said.
“If they lock me up, will you bail me out?” Xu Qingyan ignored her comment, his nose twitching, “Hmm? Or pay for my meals or something.”
“Pay extra, wonder if I can get something better to eat than cabbage and potato soup.”
Watching his shameless antics, Pei Muchan sighed. She had no idea what to do with him; in truth, she wasn’t really angry at all.
She was just a bit confused, unsure what to do.
“When is your birthday?” asked Pei Muchan.
“Huh? Why do you ask?”
“I was thinking of giving you a gift. I was worried you celebrated your lunar birthday.” After sharing an office for half a year, she naturally knew Xu Qingyan’s date of birth.
Coincidentally, Pei Muchan’s birthday was in June, and Xu Qingyan’s appeared to be in May.
“I celebrate the solar calendar. Actually, my mom doesn’t even remember when I was born,” Xu Qingyan said, “Back in those days, registration was all guesswork.”
“So, your actual age is unknown?” Pei Muchan asked curiously.
“…What do you mean ‘unknown’? I couldn’t have been overreported by a year.” Xu Qingyan touched his face, “Seems it was to avoid a policy requiring repeating the first grade, so they reported a bit older or younger.”
“Anyway, the age is definitely correct. I celebrate my birthday according to the solar calendar, which should be in the month after next next.”
Pei Muchan said, “Then I’ll set an alarm; you’d better remind me once a month.”
Xu Qingyan: “???”
Realizing that her request was a bit absurd, Pei Muchan pursed her lips and said in a soft voice.
“I’m afraid I’ll forget.”
If you can’t remember, don’t celebrate it!!
Is that the attitude to have towards a birthday???
“Ah?” Xu Qingyan was taken aback.
“What’s wrong?” After saying those words, Pei Muchan herself laughed, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly, as if she had seized the upper hand, “Is it not okay?”
“Oh.” Xu Qingyan was still looking down, holding her hand, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
A conversation without much significance seemed only to open the scene for a moment of silence. The atmosphere took shape carefully and methodically, turning suddenly peculiar.
In the well-lit second-floor office, only the two of them were present.
Both knew what was about to happen, as outside the sky was like a dark blue gem, with the horizon where the sky met the high-rise buildings emitting a dim glow.
Pei Muchan looked up at him and saw the clear intention in his eyes. Desire rippled in his dark pupils, like the water of a pond disturbed before a storm.
Bright and swirling with a gentle breeze.
“Before this, don’t you want to say something?” he asked.
“I don’t want to.” She remained stubborn.
The air grew hotter, as if a red-hot iron block had been tossed into it out of thin air. Pei Muchan’s face got hotter and hotter, and she could only stand still.
She watched as Xu Qingyan slowly moved closer from the other end of the table, his palm following the edge of the desk. After what might have been a long while or perhaps just a few seconds,
Xu Qingyan’s hand came to rest on her waist, with an unmistakable firmness.
What Pei Muchan didn’t expect was for Xu Qingyan to actually lean over to kiss her. He folded over in such an exhausting posture, as though showing off his strong back.
Her thoughts were a jumbled mess, but they didn’t last long as his lips pressed against hers.
In the brightly lit office, Pei Muchan felt as if the piercing white light had ignited something within her chest. Her eyes closed instinctively, trembling slightly.@@novelbin@@
A series of meticulous kisses, like rainwater soaking into the concrete.
Occasionally breaking apart, their explorative and affection-filled eyes seemed to spin threads between them. All restraint and control seemed to vent in this manner.
Even though it wasn’t their first kiss, they still felt a tingling sensation, followed by a numbness as if they had been injected with an anesthetic, leaving their bones feeling light and ethereal.
