247 Deep Feelings (1)
Pei Zhi had a rough idea of what he wanted his life to be like.
The first half of his life was focused on his study and career, while the second half of his life was filled with Lin Jiao.
From the moment he had a crush on her, he set a goal for their future with anticipation.
In order not to disturb Lin Jiao’s studies, he decided to wait for her to graduate before confessing.
When he found out that she was with someone else, he realized that love was different from career. Planning alone was not enough.
“Are you free the day after tomorrow?” Seeing that he was not listening carefully, Zhou Yanshen placed his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it.
Pei Zhi, who had been pulled back from his thoughts, was disinterested when he heard him mention the Halloween party.
He put down his glass. “I’m not free.”
“I thought I’d get you to meet Jiaojiao.” A smile flashed across Zhou Yanshen’s eyes. “Since you’re busy, forget it.”
“Her boyfriend isn’t going?”
“Do you think I’ll invite him?”
Of course not.
Pei Zhi was silent for a moment. “Who is she cosplaying?”
“Harley Quinn.”
“Brother Pei, you can cosplay as the Joker.” Chu Yuzhou quickly suggested. “They happen to be a couple.”
Shen Yi said, “Isn’t it too obvious?”
“No. They’re just cosplaying two characters. What’s the big deal?”
“Who are you cosplaying?” Zhou Yanshen opened his secretary’s WeChat. “I’ll get someone to prepare the costume.”
“Spider-Man.”
“Middle Eastern oil baron.” Chu Yuzhou received their strange gazes and said with a straight face, “I’m serious.”
They had to admit that he had a talent for making people laugh.
Pei Zhi, who was suddenly in a good mood, smiled.
On the day of the party, he went to the Zhou family’s house early to do his makeup.
The makeup of the joker was not complicated, but including dyeing his hair and putting on a tattoo, it took a long time.
Pei Zhi looked at his makeup, hair, and tattoo through the mirror and raised an eyebrow.
He tidied his vest and slowly walked downstairs with his walking stick. The moment he appeared, he became the center of attention.
“Brother Pei, you’re too handsome!” Chu Yuzhou, the Middle Eastern oil baron, handed the phone to the woman on the right. “Help us take a few photos.”
With the sound of the shutter, the party themed “Free Animal” began.
Lin Jiao, Harley Quinn, appeared in her high heels and looked at the Joker through the crowd.
The moment their eyes met, surprise flashed across her eyes. She subconsciously ignored the others and walked straight to him.
“Uncle.” She put down the baseball bat and sized up his makeup. “You look so good as the Joke!”
Pei Zhi tightened his grip on the walking stick and pretended to be calm.
He lowered his eyes and his gaze landed on her fishnet stockings. The fire in his heart was ignited, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Aren’t you cold?”
“I’m not cold.” She leaned back, revealing her slender waist. “The heater in the room is too strong. I even feel hot.”
Pei Zhi tensed up even more.
In order to avoid losing control of his emotions, he looked away from her and changed the topic. “Why isn’t Pei Yilan with you?”
“She went to the amusement park with Qu Wenhao.”
“Who?”
“Qu Wenhao.” Thinking that he did not hear her, Lin Jiao whispered into his ear, “Her boyfriend.”
