Waking up again, Pei Zhi Lin was squatting beside me, his face still swollen.
He was beaten!
My originally fuzzy consciousness suddenly cleared, and I sat up: “Brother Zhi Lin? Sorry, it’s my fault you were beaten.”
After saying this, I immediately searched the bedside cabinet for medicine, but when I turned my head, I saw Pei Zhi Lin with drooping eyes, exuding an aura of grievance and sadness.
My heart ached. If I had known earlier, I would have followed him, so the one being beaten would be me.
Too bad there’s no foresight. I could only quickly stand beside him, holding his face: “Let’s apply medicine first.”
The white ointment was quickly smoothed out, but Pei Zhi Lin grabbed my wrist that I was about to put down:
“Baby, my face hurts so much.”
The pitiful tone hid a hard-to-detect enticement.
I cautiously leaned forward and blew it: “Will it feel better if I blow on it?”
Pei Zhi Lin shook his head. I was anxious, but I heard him say: “I heard a kiss will stop the pain.”
“Can you kiss me?”
But, a kiss should only be between lovers, right? Oh, it was not quite right, the foreigners have farewell kisses, and close sisters and friends will kiss too.
Besides, Pei Zhi Lin and I had such a good relationship. He wouldn’t lie to me or harm me, so a kiss should be a matter of course!
Realizing this, I raised my head and looked at Pei Zhi Lin seriously:
“Brother, lower your head.”
He obediently lowered his head.
As I closed the distance with a chaotic heartbeat and dizzy head.
The moment I closed my eyes and kissed, there was an extra moist softness.
I opened my eyes in confusion, only to find I kissed the corner of Pei Zhi Lin’s lips.
The good news, Pei Zhi Lin’s lips were really kissable as I thought before.
The bad news, I seemed to have tainted Pei Zhi Lin’s innocence!
But, I aimed well, the position I wanted to kiss was far from the lip corner. Could it be Pei Zhi Lin did it on purpose?
I looked suspiciously, only to get Pei Zhi Lin’s innocent question:
“Baby, why did you kiss my mouth?”
I didn’t know either, completely confused.
My mind spun rapidly.
No result.
Just when I wanted to ask Pei Zhi Lin again, I was interrupted by a sudden ringtone.
It wasn’t mine, it was Pei Zhi Lin’s.
He just glanced at the phone screen and answered the call, walking into the bathroom.
Couldn’t I listen? Why?
My originally chaotic heart calmed down, bitterness spreading bit by bit.
When I came back to my senses, Pei Zhi Lin was already preparing to leave:
“Baby, you rest here today. I have something urgent to go out for, don’t leave the Pei’s house.”
I silently nodded, watching him leave again.

Tossing and turning, I fell into a dream. When I woke up, there was no news from Pei Zhi Lin.
Looking at our chat box, I was somewhat baffled, typing and deleting repeatedly, I finally exited the chat app and dialed Pei Zhi Lin’s number.
The busy tone echoed in the room, proving I was rejected.
I was stunned. The next second, the phone rang. I looked expectantly, but it wasn’t Pei Zhi Lin, but my friend Xu Jing:
“Finally, the busy person is willing to deal with me? It’s exploded online. I’ll pick you up to my house. Can I be a first-hand witness to the drama?”
I softly agreed, okay, being with Xu Jing should be fine.
Hanging up, I sent my location to Xu Jing, receiving: ã€Do you still need to send it? Who doesn’t know to find you at Pei Zhi Lin’s place in the circle?】
Xu Jing was very efficient and quickly took me back to the small villa.
He held a cup of milk tea and winked at me: “Tell me, are you and Pei Zhi Lin together?”
I was puzzled. Why would he ask this? I refuted: “How could it be? Brother Zhi Lin is just helping me, it’s just a temporary measure.”
To avoid further misunderstandings from our actions, I also told him about the contract marriage announcement.
Xu Jing’s eyes widened in shock, his look full of pity: “If it really doesn’t work, should I buy you some brain tonic? How could you even misunderstand this?”
I was unconvinced. It was Pei Zhi Lin who proposed it first.
Who knew, Xu Jing became even more excited: “Impossible, my ship can’t be fake. Pei Zhi Lin has always liked you!”
Brother Zhi Lin, likes me?
An inexplicable joy came, but was suppressed by a frame of memory hidden in my mind.
I avoided Xu Jing’s gaze: “You don’t know, he has someone he likes, not me. I’ve seen the love letter he wrote before.”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Jing’s expression changed again and again, almost crying with a handkerchief in his hand.
I wanted to comfort him, but I couldn’t open my mouth. I was afraid my voice would tremble.
The air gradually filled with a sad atmosphere, but it was soon broken.
Xu Jing suddenly looked up, thrusting his phone screen in front of me: “Big news! How are they together?”
I looked closely. The photo was dark and somewhat blurry, like in a bar, and Wang Jia Jia in the picture was pulling down Pei Zhi Lin’s collar.
It was ambiguous as if about to kiss.
My heartbeat skipped, breath catching.
Was Pei Zhi Lin’s errand to see Wang Jia Jia? But I resisted saying it out loud.
Xu Jing exploded first, yanking me off the sofa, heading out while shouting: “Scumbag! Honey, let’s catch the cheater!”Â
