Chapter 359: Chapter 290: Romance of Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon_3
Luo Bingying bit her pink lips, struggling to finish a complete sentence.
“Really?” Luo Bingying still didn’t believe it.
Since her best friend had said so, Luo Bingying reluctantly hung up the phone but added on WeChat: If there’s any problem, feel free to text or call me at any time.
Meanwhile, Zhou Peiwei set down her phone with uneven breaths and said, “Shen Yuan, you bad guy, do you know, do you realize Bingying almost heard us just now?”
“It wouldn’t matter if she did; she and I have nothing going on right now,” Shen Yuan said calmly.
“But, but I think she still likes you.”
“Hm? So what? You want to give me to her?”
Zhou Peiwei said with a blushing face, “I don’t have anything to do with you, so there’s no question of ‘giving’ anyone away.”
Shen Yuan gripped tightly.
Zhou Peiwei frowned and swatted Shen Yuan’s hand away, then she re-did her bra and repositioned her dress straps.
“Shen Yuan, let’s pretend nothing happened today and go back to being friends as before.”
Zhou Peiwei’s cheeks were still flushed as she spoke: “I need to think about it seriously, but with you being such a jerk, it’s highly unlikely I will get together with you.”
Her red cheeks and solemn words, coupled with a dodging gaze, hardly seemed convincing.
Nonetheless, Shen Yuan didn’t mind: “Alright, no problem. Let’s continue cooking, then watch a movie downstairs at my place after dinner.”
But this made Zhou Peiwei less happy, “Why don’t you try to persuade me? Maybe I would have agreed if my heart softened?”
Women are so troublesome… Shen Yuan shook his head: “I’m not listening, la la la, like a toad reciting scripture.”
“Shen Yuan, you definitely weren’t serious with what you said just now!”
“I’m hungry; let’s talk about romance and love later.”
With help from the System, Shen Yuan was very efficient, and soon, tomato and egg stir-fry, stuffed tofu, and beer-braised duck were all served on the table.
“Wow, it looks really good.”
Zhou Peiwei’s eyes sparkled as she got up, fetched two bowls of rice from the kitchen, and eagerly picked up a piece of beer-braised duck.
Zhou Peiwei tasted the duck, with the fermented flavor of the meat and beer instantly blossoming on her taste buds.
Nodding continuously, she gave a thumbs up: “Delicious, delicious!”
Shen Yuan smiled knowingly, untied his apron, and looked at the three dishes full of color, aroma, and taste, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
This was the joy of cooking; he would have to try it more often.
“Let me have a taste.”
Shen Yuan picked up his chopsticks and joined Zhou Peiwei in hearty eating.
His own cooking always tasted extra good, Shen Yuan ate 3 bowls of rice, and even Zhou Peiwei, who typically ate only half a bowl, finished a whole one.
After eating, they took a walk in the yard to help with digestion, then planned to watch a movie together.
Shen Yuan took Zhou Peiwei’s hand and headed down to the basement. It was Zhou Peiwei’s first time being held by a guy, and it felt a bit uncomfortable, but considering what had almost happened earlier, she let him hold her hand.
After the home cinema was decorated, Shen Yuan had yet to enjoy it. The space was roughly 30 square meters, with a 120-inch projection screen and a starry sky ceiling above it, setting the atmosphere.
Apart from the basic equipment, there were three sofas, with the front two for a semi-reclining viewing experience. To the side of the cinema was a bar cabinet and a fridge.
The double-door fridge was stocked with plenty of cola and beer, as well as a small amount of fruits and snacks.
Because of concerns about spoilage and damage, Ji Ya never dared to buy too much at once, and the housekeeping staff would clean every visit and check the freshness and expiration dates of the food, throwing away anything that was off.
The liquor cabinet didn’t have much in the way of alcohol; the few bottles of wine that were there had been bought by Ji Ya.
Because Zhou Peiwei’s house was pretty similar to Shen Yuan’s villa, she didn’t find the exterior and decor to be anything special; she mainly thought that Shen Yuan really knew how to enjoy life.
For example, a SPA room, a mini swimming pool, an e-sports room, a fitness area, a pool table… they had it all.
The only thing that was a pity was the lack of a singing room.
Zhou Peiwei silently thought that perhaps Shen Yuan was tone-deaf and hadn’t considered it.
“What are we watching, Doctor Zhou?” Shen Yuan asked.
“Am I still Doctor Zhou?”
“The future Doctor Zhou is still Doctor Zhou.”
Shen Yuan wanted to adapt to this kind of BUFF early on, so that when sister Peiwei donned her white coat next time, he could quickly get into the “patient” role.
Zhou Peiwei pondered for a while, “That title makes us sound so distant.”
“How could that be? I call you Doctor Zhou, you call me daddy, we each stick to our titles.”
The two bantered for a while, then lay down. Originally, Zhou Peiwei had planned to take a separate sofa, but thinking about what had just happened, she decided to be Shen Yuan’s “one-day lover” for today.
Lying in Shen Yuan’s arms, Zhou Peiwei’s soft body released a faint fragrance that entered his nostrils, making him feel blissful and invigorated.
“What shall we watch?”
Shen Yuan turned on the projector, and after automatically connecting to the internet, all the major apps popped up, supporting both screen casting and disc playback.
Of course, downloading torrents was also an option.
“Let’s watch something thrilling.”
Zhou Peiwei liked watching horror movies.
“An educational film for grown-ups? Are you sure you want to watch that kind of naughty movie?”
Zhou Peiwei’s idea of thrilling was different from Shen Yuan’s, so naturally, he thought of those Japanese “teachers.”
“No, no, I mean horror movies.”
Zhou Peiwei, afraid that Shen Yuan had misunderstood, quickly explained, and then poked Shen Yuan in the waist teasingly, “What are you thinking about all day long?”
“It was clearly you who misled me.”
“Horror movies, huh… Let me see, how about ‘The Haunting Rise’?”
“‘The Exorcist: The Believer’?”
After Shen Yuan listed several movies and Zhou Peiwei said she had seen them all, he had no choice but to hand her the remote.
“You find one you haven’t seen.”
Finally, Zhou Peiwei found “Saw X” and said, “This one’s good, I’ll rewatch it.”
Shen Yuan wasn’t much interested in horror films, though he had seen a few, thinking if you’ve already seen it once, whatever could scare you has already done so; what’s the point of rewatching?
But as the movie played on, Zhou Peiwei still bit her finger, immersed in the film, occasionally tugging at Shen Yuan’s clothes.
And Shen Yuan wasn’t much better, intermittently exclaiming “Damn!” “Awesome!” “Motherfucker!”
In such a flickering environment, alone with Zhou Peiwei in his arms, Shen Yuan’s hand easily ventured further.
Sister Peiwei’s neckline was too tempting, but even though Shen Yuan wasn’t behaving, Zhou Peiwei, being completely absorbed in the movie, didn’t say much.
Only occasionally, while watching the film, would she remind him, “Shen Yuan, a little gentler.”
