Fortunately, Wei Yu had finished spraying. He said calmly, “If you don’t cooperate, I can only spray you with this. It’s not a big problem. It’ll be much better tomorrow.”
“Why didn’t you say so in advance?” She sounded full of complaints.
Wei Yu put her pants down and put the spray back in the first-aid kit. Then, he looked up at her. “Would you listen if I told you?”
Pei Jiao nodded. “Yes.”
Wei Yu’s lips twitched. “Then I’m sorry. I can only pay attention next time.”
“Who wants a next time?” she muttered under her breath. “I’m already out of luck.”
“l didn’t cause your bad luck,” he said. Pei Jiao looked at him and remained silent. Wei Yu asked, “Do you think I caused it?”
Pei Jiao shook her head. “Not entirely.”
“Oh, half my responsibility anyway, right?” he asked.
Pei Jiao shook her head. “Forget it. I was unlucky.”
Wei Yu could not help but laugh. Seeing that the tears on her face were still wet, he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe them away. Pei Jiao did not move and let Wei Yu wipe her face. She looked at him obediently with her misty eyes.
It was difficult for Wei Yu to ignore such pitiful and beautiful eyes. Gradually, he seemed to realize that he was doing something he shouldn’t. He froze, then quickly pulled his hand away. Then he stared at his hand for a long moment.
Pei Jiao took in his reaction and asked softly, “Is it because I’m in a sorry state now that I’m ugly to you?”
Wei Yu realized that he was in a daze and that it was because of her. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself. Finally, he answered according to his heart.
“Not ugly.”
Pei Jiao smiled. She pointed at the scarf on the sofa and begged him in a pleading tone, “Can you help me get the scarf on the sofa?”
Wei Yu glanced sideways in the direction Pei Jiao was pointing. Then, he got up and went to get the half-done scarf from the sofa. He didn’t ask anything and thought it was just her boredom. However, when she crooked her finger at him to signal him to approach, Wei Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He stood still, his cold eyes looking down at her. “What’s wrong?”
Pei Jiao was very embarrassed to say, “That day, I realized that you had a jacket that looked especially good, but you were missing a scarf, so I planned to knit a scarf for you. I’m halfway done, but you can try it first.”
Wei Yu’s breathing stopped and his voice became noticeably lighter. “You knitted it for me?”
Pei Jiao nodded shyly. “Yeah.”
Wei Yu looked at her hand and noticed that her fingers were red, but she hid her hand from him and tried to hide it. He pursed his lips and asked, “So the reason your fingers are so red is because you knitted a scarf?”
Pei Jiao smiled foolishly. ‘Yes, but it doesn’t hurt at all. Really.”
“l don’t care if it hurts.” Wei Yu quickly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said coldly, “I don’t need anything you do. There’s no need to please me so much.’
His words made Pei Jiao look like a clown. However, Pei Jiao was not sad or disappointed. This seemed to be within her expectations. She gripped the scarf in her hand and a forced smile curved her lips. “It’s okay,” she said to him. “I knitted it for you willingly. If you don’t like this color, tell me. I’ll change the color and knit it again.”
Towards the end, her voice unknowingly became much lower. Her hands repeatedly rubbed the fabric of the clothes in front of her. “I’ve just learned to knit and am still in the learning stage. It’s just nice for me to practice. Don’t worry, it’s not troublesome, It just so happens that I’m very bored every day.
I’ll treat it as killing time.”
Wei Yu looked at her calmly. He saw every expression on her face and every movement of her hands. He leaned slightly towards her. Pei Jiao sensed his approach and did not avoid it. Instead, she boldly looked straight at him.
Wei Yu’s face was expressionless, but Pei Jiao looked shy. He asked the question bluntly. “Do you like me?”
Pei Jiao was not afraid to admit it because of her shyness. She boldly met Wei
Yu’s gaze and admitted frankly, “Yes, I like you.”
This was what Pei Jiao mustered her courage to say.
Wei Yu asked her, “When?”
Pei Jiao bit her lip and whispered, “My heart skipped a beat, but more than that, I gradually liked you. When I woke up and saw you.”
After hearing this, Wei Yu remained expressionless and only said, “Alright, tell me your true identity first.”
The reason he brought up this topic was to make her back off.
However, Pei Jiao was serious. She gathered her thoughts and replied, “My name is Fei Yi. I’m 22 years old. My family lives at Xingzhou Wynn Residence. My parents are still alive. My father is a university professor, my mother runs a small company, and I have a younger brother who will enter university soon. You can check.”
This identity was the one she used when she was wandering outside. It was real and verifiable. The photos were all the same. They couldn’t go wrong. It wouldn’t go wrong, but it would quickly fail. That was why she hadn’t used this identity to fool them when she’d been brought here in the first place.
She wasn’t sure how long she’d be ‘locked up’ here, so she’d been pretending to be mute to muddle through. Now was the right time. When this identity failed, she would almost have successfully left.
Wei Yu probably did not expect her to choose this moment to confess her origins. And she was so specific about it. His expression was dark and unreadable. He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He did not speak for a long time.
Pei Jiao endured the pain in her knee and slowly stood up. She raised the half-finished scarf in her hand and approached him. “Can you try it?”
Wei Yu looked at her quietly and did not say anything.
“Forget it then.” Pei Jiao lowered her hand in disappointment. “You don’t like it, so you’ll hate it even if you try.” As soon as she lowered her hand, the half-finished scarf was taken away by Wei Yu. Pei Jiao was stunned and looked up at him. “You…”
Wei Yu put the half-finished scarf around his neck. “Like this?”
Pei Jiao burst with joy and nodded. “Anything is fine.”
Seeing her smile, Wei Yu felt inexplicably happy. He let Pei Jiao approach. “You adjust.”
Pei Jiao reached out happily. She gestured at how much longer she needed to knit. She changed several ways to match it. Finally, when her fingertips touched his neck, he suddenly gripped her wrist. “It’s fine.” With that, he took off his scarf and returned it to her. “l should go back and rest. You should rest early too.”
This time he didn’t stay long. He turned and walked away. Pei Jiao did not stop him. She only said loudly to his back, “Wei Yu, I want to see you tomorrow too.”
Wei Yu walked quickly.
Pei Jiao noticed that the edge of Wei Yu’s ear was red when he left..
