Endless Fall

213 I’ve Had Crush on Her for Four Years

Pei Zhi followed her into the bed and asked pleadingly, “Then how can you forgive me?”

Lin Jiao spat out the fruit core into his palm and pointed at the bedside table. “You’re not allowed to use it for three days.”

“Honey…”

“There’s no room for discussion.” She realized that he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

“How about two days?” Pei Zhi pressed his forehead against hers, his voice coaxing.

Lin Jiao didn’t budge. “No.” She stuffed another cherry into her mouth. “Not even half a day less.”

“I will lose my sleep if you are so cruel to me.”

“Why didn’t I see you lose sleep in the past?”

“It’s different.” Pei Zhi threw the fruit core she spat out into the trash can and said in a low voice, “In the past, we never did it.”

He thought it was very difficult to quit smoking.

But now, something even harder to quit than smoking appeared.

“Anyway, no.” Lin Jiao fed him a cherry to shut his mouth. “If you dare to do what you shouldn’t, it’ll be four days.”

Pei Zhi thought for a moment. “Okay.” He pretended to be unwilling, but he had already thought of a solution.

“I don’t want to eat anymore.”

“Then I’ll put it back.” He went out to put the plate of cherries back and turned off the light in the master bedroom. “Wifey, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

“No.” Lin Jiao set the alarm and went to bed early with him to be ready for work tomorrow.

After the new year, many companies resumed work.

After the long holiday, the employees of Sheng Heng walked to their desks in high spirits.

The media company sent their best reporters and photographers to the top floor at ten o’clock sharp for the exclusive interview.

“This way, please.” Qu Shao led them into the CEO’s office and sat behind the cameraman to listen.

He glanced at the man who exuded an unapproachable and noble aura and waited quietly for his expression to soften.

The reporter asked about his entrepreneurial experience and the progress of the second generation of Xiao Heng Robot. Finally, the reporter asked about his relationship.

She stared at his ring. “Can you tell us about your relationship? For example, how long have you been with her?”

Pei Zhi’s expression indeed softened.

He smiled. “We haven’t been together for long, but we’ve known each other for a long time.”

“Childhood sweetheart?”

“No.” Without needing the reporter to ask further, he told her how they met.

The reporter was envious.

She glanced at the notebook and continued to ask him with a smile, “So, did you like her first?”

“Yes.” Pei Zhi rubbed his ring as images flashed across his mind. “I’ve had a crush on her for four years.”

His interview became a trending topic at noon.

The moment he said that he had a crush on her for four years, the crowd on Weibo was in an uproar.

The news spread like wildfire. Everyone in Lin City knew that the president of Sheng Heng was a devoted man.

“President Pei is really a good man.”

“Indeed. I could tell when he whispered to the lady boss in the hall last time.”

“Even rich and handsome men are so loyal. I really don’t know why those losers want to be scumbags.”

“I have to send it to my boyfriend and let him learn from President Pei.”

Everyone in Sheng Heng was discussing this.

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Lin Jiao walked out of the hall and went to Sycamore Street to have lunch with Pei Yilan.

“Jiaojiao, did you see the interview?” Pei Yilan asked excitedly.

“I did.”

“Are you touched?”

Lin Jiao nodded with a smile, especially when she heard him talk about how they met. “He even remembers many details.”

Pei Yilan said in a low voice, “Jiaojiao, tell me about the experience first.”

“It’s nothing special.”

“What do you mean nothing special.”

Lin Jiao could not describe the feeling “In any case, it’s not bad. Why don’t you find a chance to try it with Jiang Ye?”

“I still have to wait for more than a month.”

“Did you talk to him about it?”

“Sort of.” Pei Yilan recalled what happened on New Year’s Day and a smile flashed across her eyes.

Lin Jiao took a bite of the food. “Did he join the filming crew?”

“No.” She took two bites of rice. “He will go to the audition at the end of the month. He’s been shooting advertisements for the past two days.”

“When will the movie he played before the new year be aired?”

“March the ninth.”

...

“It happens to be Saturday.” Lin Jiao turned off the screen and discussed with her about doing something to root for Jiang Ye.

After lunch, she slowly walked towards Sheng Heng Hall.

The employees were still discussing the interview. The trend lasted until Monday the next week before it was replaced by something else.

Pei Zhi was going on a business trip again.

He set the departure time to be in the afternoon so that he could spend more time with her during the lunch break. “Wifey, I’m leaving for five days.”

“You already told me three times.”

“Is there a reward after I return?”

Lin Jiao looked up to look at him. She was suddenly struck by an idea and smiled charmingly. “Of course.”

Pei Zhi swallowed his saliva. “Don’t go back on your word.” He kissed her red lips again and again as if he was addicted.

“I won’t.” Lin Jiao’s breath seemed to be filled with sweetness, making him want to drown in it.

After the long kiss, she held his hand and placed it on her stomach. “Help me rub my stomach.”

...

He remembered that she only felt uncomfortable on the first day of her period in the past. “Did you eat something cold without me knowing?”

“No, I’m just too full.”

Only then did Pei Zhi feel relieved.

He found some digestive pills from the first aid kit and fed her a few before rubbing her stomach. “Wifey, do you want a driver?”

Lin Jiao was afraid of driving and felt that she would hit someone, so she did not get a driver’s license.

She shook her head. “I’ll just take a taxi.”

“Then remember to tell me when you get home.” Pei Zhi emphasized, “Don’t forget it.”

The incident at the cafe gave him a lingering fear.

He had to ensure her safety.

“Got it.” Lin Jiao smiled, feeling warm to know that he was concerned about her. “What time are you leaving?”

“Two o’clock.”

“Back on Saturday afternoon?”

“I think so.” Pei Zhi reported in detail about his business trip, giving her a sense of security. “I’ll bring you a gift when the time comes.”

“I don’t want a gift.”

“Then what do you want?”

“You.” Lin Jiao teased him brazenly. “I only want you.”

Pei Zhi unbuttoned the two buttons on his neck to cool down his burning body.

He lowered his eyes. “Say that again?”
