Endless Fall

203 I Won’t Let You Off

The sound of dice colliding echoed in their ears. They opened the dice cup together and started the first round of the game.

The wind outside the window gradually stopped, but there were more and more empty bottles piled up by the sofa.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Lin Jiao could still stay sober at the end.

She held Pei Zhi’s arm and stepped into the second bedroom on the left on the second floor. She locked the door to block out the other sounds.

!!

“Jiaojiao.” Pei Zhi, who reeked of alcohol, pressed her against the wall and leaned over to kiss her lips.

His breath brushed past her skin, making her feel itchy.

Lin Jiao was in a daze from the kiss.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her hands at the back of his head. Pei Zhi’s eyes darkened and he kissed her even more passionately.

He held her waist tightly and moved towards the bed, whispering into her ear, “I like you so much.”

She did not know how excited and happy he was the moment she said “I am willing”. Not only was his heart beating wildly, but even the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

A faint fragrance of cypress enveloped Lin Jiao.

She asked out of the blue, “Do you want to take a shower together?”

Pei Zhi swallowed hard. “No.” He buried his head in her neck and sniffed the sweetness on her body.

Veins popped out on his hands. He was clearly restraining the desire that surged in his heart.

“Then move aside.” Lin Jiao retracted her hands and pushed his shoulder, stepping on the floor barefooted.

She took off the accessories on her neck and earlobes and placed them on the round table beside her before looking at a man lying on the bed.

There was only one night light on.

He lay still and did not move his gaze away from her, making her heart soften.

Lin Jiao unzipped her gown, but at this moment, the unzipping sound was magnified in his ears.

She took off her heavy black gown and smiled seductively. “Are you really not going to shower with me? Then I’ll lock the door.”

Pei Zhi’s eyes darkened. All his rationality crumbled at this moment.

A second before the figure disappeared into the bathroom, he raised his hand to grab the door handle and entered before slamming it shut.

The sound of flowing water was endless.

Their overlapping figures were reflected on the frosted glass for a long time before they separated.

“Are you still going to be naughty?” Pei Zhi stared at her flushed face and smiled.

Lin Jiao glared at him. “Who’s being naughty?”

“Who do you think it is?”

“It’s not me anyway.” She turned on the tap to wash her fingertips.

Pei Zhi pinched her chin and rubbed it. Before she could open her mouth and bite his fingers, he pulled his hand away.

He hugged her as usual as they lay on the soft blanket. “If you are naughty again, I won’t let you off next time.”

“Did you let me off just now?”

“Did I not?”

Lin Jiao opened her palm. “Say that again?”

“I’m not talking about this.” Pei Zhi kissed her eyelashes and whispered into her ear.

His throat felt like it had been soaked in good wine, sounding especially mellow.

Lin Jiao’s face was burning.

She lowered her eyes and leaned close to his neck to avoid looking at his bewitching face. “I’m going to sleep. Don’t talk.”

As soon as her slightly hot skin touched him, Pei Zhi had no choice but to swallow the words that were stuck in his throat.

He stopped teasing her. “Good night, Mrs. Pei.”

The night light turned off and the bedroom fell into darkness. Two heartbeats of different frequency intertwined.

The hour hand quietly turned half a circle. On New Year’s Eve, the sun that had disappeared for an entire week finally shone through the clouds and onto the streets.

A faint sound of footsteps came from the stairs and stopped in the dining room.

They did not sleep for long last night and were still sleepy.

However, because it was New Year’s Eve, they had to go back home and must only set off before ten o’clock.

“Gather here at two in the afternoon on the third day of the new year.” Qu Shao sent a location in the group chat. “Bring everything you need.”

“Is it cold over there?”

“About the same.”

“Are we flying straight to Milan?” Chu Yuzhou pressed the car key and walked out unhurriedly.

“Rome.” Qu Shao zipped up his down jacket and said, “I’ll get going first.”

Pei Zhi sent Lin Jiao to Zhou Yanshen’s car. “Jiaojiao, I’ll come and find you tomorrow.”

“Then I’ll go to your house the day after tomorrow.”

“Okay.” He kissed her forehead and watched her get into the back seat with Qian Yue. “Be careful on the way.”

One after another, cars drove away from the villa in different directions.

The old district was still lively. Children were playing in the alley, the candied hawthorns in their hands contrasting with the red lanterns hanging on the streets.

...

Their laughter and the couplets that every family pasted at the door made the festive atmosphere even stronger.

Jiang Ye stepped on the brakes at the entrance of the Pei family’s house and walked into the warm living room with them to make dumplings together.

“Jiang Ye, teach me.” Pei Yilan didn’t know how to make dumplings.

Jiang Ye looked at the grotesque looking dumplings. He held back his laughter and patiently explained the steps.

There was a lot of flour on his fingertips, covering the veins on the back of his hand, but it looked even sexier.

“Did you get the hang of it?”

“Not yet.” She was too busy looking at his hands.

Jiang Ye followed her gaze and looked down. Helpless, he walked behind her and took her hands, taking her how to do it step by step.

His breath landed on her face. “Don’t get distracted.”

“Okay.” Pei Yilan’s ears were already numb. She resisted the urge to kiss him and studied seriously.

Pei Zhi, who was standing opposite them, chuckled and shook his head.

...

After making more than twenty dumplings, he took out his phone to take a photo before sending it to Lin Jiao.

Pei Zhi: “I just made dumplings.”

Lin Jiao: “It looks awesome. Star-struck.jpg.”

Pei Zhi: “Is there a reward?”

Lin Jiao: “What reward do you want now?”

Pei Zhi: “I want to hear you call me Hubby.”

Lin Jiao: “Expressionless face.jpg”

“Pei Zhi, come and hang the lanterns.” Pei Zhen saw that he had finished making dumplings and assigned him a new task.

“Right away.” After Pei Zhi replied on WeChat, he took the lanterns.

He hung one lamp each at the place Pei Zhen pointed at and wrapped LED lights around the trees at the door to hype up the New Year atmosphere.
