ACBNHTS Chapter 38

Chapter 38: From Ignoring Before to Meticulously Studying Every Frame Now

After two rounds of the game, it wasn’t Pei Du’s turn.

It was a young master’s turn.

Someone asked him, “What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever experienced?”

“The weirdest thing has got to be Pei Ge (Brother Pei). The default city weather on other people’s phone homepages is their current location, but his has always been Yanjing. It’s been almost two years now and he still hasn’t changed it.”

A piece of Sheng Yiguang’s heart instantly crumbled.

He suddenly recalled the time after he broke up with Pei Du, while still studying at school. During every sudden downpour, someone would offer him help, handing him a “spare” umbrella.

Almost every time, the umbrella was new.

Once was a coincidence, twice was chance.

The third time, Sheng Yiguang couldn’t help but grab the hand of the person offering the umbrella and ask, “Do you know Pei Du?”

That person said no.

The answer he had already denied resurfaced in his mind at this moment.

Sheng Yiguang turned his head and met Pei Du’s eyes.

A silent gaze.

One second, two seconds…

Short but long.

Everything around them seemed to fade away, blur, disappear.

Only he and Pei Du remained.

Sheng Yiguang couldn’t help but ask, “Was that you?”

After asking, he realized his question was abrupt and confusing. Just as he was about to clarify, Pei Du said,

“It was me.”

His heartstrings trembled violently.

Pei Du smiled. “Yanjing often has showers, I was afraid you wouldn’t have an umbrella.”

An emotion burst through his congested chest, those suppressed, restrained feelings swept over him like a tidal wave, making Sheng Yiguang’s nose sting.

“But we were already…”

He couldn’t say the words “broken up.”

Pei Du smiled and interrupted, “Just a quarrel, I couldn’t bear to see you get rained on.”

Sheng Yiguang was stunned, his eyes instantly reddened, and his throat felt scratchy.

The lighting in the private room was dim, but Pei Du saw it, his expression softened, then he raised his eyebrows slightly, leaned down to look into his eyes, and deliberately lowered his voice in a flirtatious manner.

“What does this mean? You’re so touched that you want to cry and insist on marrying me? Don’t do that, there are so many people here.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang’s tears hadn’t even fallen yet, but his emotions were defeated by Pei Du.

“I didn’t intend to cry and insist on marrying you.”

“Your words aren’t very credible. What wouldn’t you do to chase after me?”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang was defeated, and he gently bumped his head against Pei Du’s shoulder, complaining, “Pei Du.”

Pei Du lowered his head, smiling against his face.

“So coquettish?”

“Not being coquettish!”

Pei Du continued to smile.

That bit of heavy, guilty atmosphere vanished with those few words.

Wen Heng, watching the two people’s closeness as if no one else was there, almost bit his teeth to pieces.

He asked the system, “Why are the comments completely useless now!”

System: [Our last time was also a long-term battle, it’s unrealistic to want immediate results.]

System: [Host, rest assured, I have followed your instructions and told Sheng Yiguang the subsequent development of this world through the comments. It’s all real information, honest and reliable. Sheng Yiguang will definitely believe the comments without a doubt.]

Wen Heng sneered inwardly and replied.

“As long as he believes I’m Pei Du’s official pairing, there will always be a thorn in his heart. Coupled with the four years of blank space, estrangement, and paranoid internal friction, it will also consume the relationship between him and Pei Du.”

“I’ll still be the winner.”

System: [Good! I’ll increase the comments now! Let’s make him believe that he is an evil white moonlight, and you and Pei Du are the official pairing in one go!]

The system exerted its strength, and the comments in front of Sheng Yiguang instantly became dense.

[So pitiful, always felt sorry for Xiao Wen, never stopped!]

[It doesn’t matter! I will only tell myself that the abuse now is all for Pei Du’s wife-chasing journey later!]

[I really can’t stand that white moonlight anymore! The cold appearance, the cunning of a fox spirit, he will pretend to be drunk in Pei Du’s arms in the future, and let Pei Du hug him! He’ll pretend to be scared late at night and ask Pei Du to stay at his house! These little tricks will make Pei Du crazy about him!]

[More than that, more than that, he orders takeout home, puts it in a bowl, sprinkles some chopped green onions and says he made it himself, making Pei Du so touched.]

…

Sheng Yiguang looked at the comments and fell silent.

And more silence.

It could be like this?

There’s actually this kind of operation?

Sure enough, the future him is more capable of being an evil white moonlight than the present him.

Close to eleven o’clock, Zhao Xicai gave Pei Du a hand gesture.

Pei Du saw it, turned to talk to Sheng Yiguang, “It’s pretty late, should we go back?”

“Okay.” He was also worried about Tongtong.

“Then wait for me for ten minutes, I’ll take you home.”

“Okay.”

Pei Du got up.

Zhao Xicai also got up and followed him.

Sheng Yiguang waited in the private room, reading the comments word by word.

From getting a man drunk to the point of tears, gradually developing into a high-level green tea who can call Pei Du back from Wen Heng’s side with one phone call.

Good, capable,Rob (snatching)!

The future him is really terrifyingly strong.

When Pei Du came back, he was still reading.

Pei Du saw that he was distracted and asked, “Not feeling well?”

Sheng Yiguang withdrew his gaze, “No.”

“It’s late, I’ll take you back.”

“Okay.”

Late at night, there weren’t many cars on the road, and Pei Du quickly drove Sheng Yiguang home.

“I’m leaving, get some rest early.”

Sheng Yiguang pursed his lips, glanced at the comments, grabbed Pei Du’s wrist, and didn’t dare to look at him.

“I don’t know if it will rain tonight, it might even thunder, I, I’m a little scared, it’s not safe for you on the road either, and you’ve already bought everything you need, so… don’t bother going back?”

Pei Du, whose home was on the top floor of the same building, raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly chuckled.

“Oh, is that so.”

The leisurely tone made Sheng Yiguang feel that Pei Du had seen through his clumsy lie.

Pei Du: “Since it’s for safety, then there’s no other way, after all, I’m also quite afraid of dying.”

Sheng Yiguang pretended to be calm, opened the door, and said seriously.

“Being afraid is the right thing, life only comes once.”

Pei Du chuckled with amusement and followed him inside.

The house was very quiet, and with the moonlight from outside, they could see that Sheng Tong’s door was closed, probably because Aunt Tao had already brought him back to sleep.

Just as Sheng Yiguang was about to turn on the light, Pei Du hugged him from behind and eagerly lowered his head to kiss him.

Sheng Yiguang shuddered, hurriedly pushed him away, and lowered his voice.

“We don’t know if Tongtong is asleep.”

“What if he’s not asleep? Am I here for a secret tryst?”

“…No.”

Pei Du smiled helplessly and indulgently, let go of him, leaned against the shoe cabinet by the entrance, and looked at Sheng Yiguang leisurely.

“I’m in, are you still afraid?”

“…Not afraid anymore.”

Pei Du smiled again.

Sheng Yiguang turned on the light, his ears were red, and he pushed him.

“Hurry up and wash up, I’ll go check on Tongtong.”

Pei Du didn’t move, “Did you forget that I don’t have pajamas?”

“…” He really forgot.

Pei Du: “Can I borrow yours? I remember you like to wear a larger size, I wore it last time, and it fit quite well.”

Sheng Yiguang had a feeling that he hadn’t bought pajamas and was just waiting for this.

He went back to the bedroom, found a set and handed it to him, then went to Sheng Tong’s room, confirmed that the child was sleeping soundly, and tiptoed out.

Back in the bedroom, Pei Du hadn’t gone to wash up yet, holding his phone and tapping the screen.

When he put down his phone, Sheng Yiguang saw that he was liking posts.

Pei Du asked him, “Confirmed everything?”

“Yeah.”

“Then can I kiss you?”
