Endless Fall

   Chapter 183 As long as you are in everything is worth

   Pei Zhi wrapped her waist like a ghost.

  The silky fabric was attached to his palm, and he felt the source of the fire, even his fingertips were hot.

  Under the random guidance of Lin Jiao, he took a few steps forward and backward, and finished her homemade dance.

   "Can we go back?" He stared at the bright face, his voice was hoarse.

   "You haven't learned yet."

   "I will."

  Lin Jiao didn't believe it at all: "Dance again." She taught him like a strict teacher, making the distance between them get closer and closer.

   Every time he got close, Pei Zhi had a dry mouth.

   He couldn't stand the rhythm of his heartbeat, so he stopped again after jumping twice: "It's cold outside, shall we dance again next time?"

   "I want to play hide and seek."

  "…" Dancing without music is abnormal enough, she's playing hide and seek.

   "You're a ghost." Lin Jiao didn't need his consent, so he closed his eyes fiercely: "No peeking."

   "Don't go far."

   "Not far, I'll hide under the table."

   Pei Zhi looked up and laughed.

   He walked back and forth by the table with the orange lamp, counted to five silently, and squatted in front of her with his knees bent.

   "I found you." Lin Jiao, who was pinching her fingertips, heard the voice and raised her head with a smile.

   She reached out and grabbed him, threw herself into his arms without warning, causing Pei Zhi, who had not had time to find a support point, to lean back.

  The soft lips brushed across his jaw in the next second, like a cluster of fire, ignited the whole summer, and moved his heart, which was as quiet as a deep pool.

   Lin Jiao, who was lying on top of him, was still making a fuss, her red lips opened and closed, as if she had a lot to tell him.

   He hooked out the long hair that was tucked into his shirt, and the moment he narrowed his eyes to look at her, he received a message in his mind that he had never had before.

  —He was tempted.

  *

   "Do you like the way I look embarrassed?" The shy and annoyed voice covered the faint sound of the TV.

   "No embarrassment, you were cute at the time."

  Lin Jiao no longer wanted to be embarrassed to the extreme, and took a sip of water to calm down: "Where's the cutest?"

   "Everywhere is cute." Pei Zhi chuckled: "When you hid under the table and waited for me to come find you, you looked like a ragdoll cat."

   "I'm not impressed."

   "Drunk kitten has a bad memory." He bent his fingertips and scratched her side waist: "Understandable."

  The ticklish Lin Jiao couldn't stop laughing.

   She covered the lips that she wanted to kiss, and her fox eyes were still shining with light: "Why didn't you say it?"

   "What do I say when you're so drunk?"

   "That's not what I meant."

   Pei Zhi kissed her palm, passed her right hand under her leg, and easily carried her to her knees.

   He stroked the long hair: "I originally wanted to wait until you graduated from undergraduate school before confessing, but..."

   As a result, she was with Gu Quan.

  Lin Jiao couldn't imagine how he felt when he watched her fall in love with someone else, let alone his passionate love, confusion and even disappointment when he had nowhere to put it.

   She hugged his thin waist, and for some reason the tip of her nose suddenly became sore, and even her voice became choked: "It's very hard, right?"

   "Not hard."

   "Liar."

   Pei Zhi patted her back soothingly: "As long as you are by my side, everything is worth it."

   He was laughing, but Lin Jiao couldn't help crying.

   She was close to his chest, crying until her shoulders shrugged slightly, and Pei Zhi could feel the wetness of the sweater.

   He has always known that she has strong empathy ability, but at this moment he feels that it is not a good thing to be too strong.

   "Beautiful." He rubbed her waist through the thin layer of pajamas: "Do you want to cry in another place?"

   "Where to change?"

   "What do you say?"

  Lin Jiao looked at him with her eyes washed with tears. As soon as she saw the deep meaning he showed, she couldn't stop crying.

   "I don't want to." She glared at him and let him wipe the tears: "We haven't fallen in love yet, we can't be like that."

   "Then can I kiss you?"

"also can not."

   Pei Zhi's eyes flashed with hurt.

   He threw the crumpled tissue into the trash, and asked again, pretending to be low, "Can't you just kiss it?"

   Lin Jiao softened.

   She grabbed his collar and lightly touched the thin, pale lips: "It's alright..."

   Pei Zhi didn't give her a chance to refuse, he held the back of her head with his palm, deepening the lingering kiss.

   He delayed the time aggressively and arrogantly, turning this into ten minutes, still not satisfied.

   "Pei Zhi!" Lin Jiao returned to his senses, and took the lead in opening the distance: "You have to make an inch."

   Her breathing was still unsteady, and the ends of her fox eyes were stained with a large blush, which made people want to bully her just by looking at her.

   Pei Zhi rolled his Adam's apple: "Only once."

   "Should you call me?" She pursed her lips: "From now on, you are not allowed to kiss me without my permission, do you hear me?"

   "Where exactly are you not allowed to kiss?"

   "Nowhere."

   Pei Zhi agreed under her 'pressure'.

   He raised the glass to feed her two sips of juice, and brushed away a few strands of hair with his slender fingertips: "Jiaojiao, do you like me?"

"like."

   "Since when?"

   "After I arrived in Shengheng." Lin Jiao didn't know the exact moment: "I like you before I went to Paris anyway."

   It's just that she didn't face up to her feelings.

   "That's been a long time too." Pei Zhi got an unexpected answer, and his heart seemed to be filled.

  Perhaps, there is nothing in this world more pleasant and joyful than getting a response.

  Lin Jiao remembered the sentence he once asked: 'Jiaojiao, can you like me a little more? ’

   She covered his ear: "It's not long enough, I will like you every day from now on, more than before and now."

   Pei Zhi had never heard such beautiful words.

   He pressed against her forehead, and the emotion and joy in his eyes seemed to come out: "Me too."

   His affection is like a continuous mountain range, which lasts every spring, summer, autumn and winter, and will not change at all.

   "You are not allowed to kiss me." Aware of his intention, Lin Jiao turned her head away, leaving the tips of his ears.

   "Then can you kiss me?"

   "Not good." She fiddled with his cufflinks: "Don't be rude, I'll kiss you later."

   Afraid of her anger, Pei Zhi had to give up.

   He lifted his eyelids and looked at the clock: "Beautiful, can I sleep on the second bed tonight?"

   "Well." Lin Jiao let him sleep once for the sake of his initiative: "I'm going to take a shower first."

  The sound of running water resounded continuously.

  Thousands of lights pierce the night as thick as black ink.

   As time passed, the lights on in the nine units went out one by one, leaving that area surrounded by night.

   Pei Zhi, who was lying in the second bedroom, had trouble falling asleep.

  He counted the time silently, guessing that it was almost time before he opened the door and quietly climbed onto the bed in the master bedroom.

   "姣姣." He tentatively called out, making sure she was in a deep sleep, before reaching out to embrace her.

  Under the faint moonlight, he stared at the lips that he had not tasted enough, and approached it unbearably, stealing incense to his heart's content this night.
