In Shen Heyu’s heart, she still believed in the male supporting character. No matter what Pei Yansi said, she didn’t think he would do such a thing.
Moreover, following someone around—how sleazy and shameful that was.
The male supporting character was a top student in the medical field and very accomplished. He had no reason to do such a thing, and his upbringing wouldn’t allow it.
Shen Heyu’s stance was firm.
Seeing her , Pei Yansi could only laugh. Mockingly, he said, "So, you believe him that much."
Why didn’t she ever believe what he said?
In front of her, not only did he explain things, he also took actions, but she never believed him.
Yet without a word from the male supporting character, she could trust him so easily.
During breakfast, the resentment and jealousy Pei Yansi had suppressed inside him softly emerged.
He glanced at his daughter, who was still sleeping, and ultimately chose not to say anything to Shen Heyu at that moment.
He forcefully suppressed those feelings of discontent.
He just wanted to wait for a good opportunity someday to speak up.
After all, it definitely wasn’t now.
Seeing that he didn’t pursue the matter further, Shen Heyu thought he had let it go. She took her clothes from the wardrobe, planning to go to the bathroom to wash up.
They had been flying for a long time, and hadn’t even rested since arriving at this place; she was very tired by now.
Pei Yansi noticed her exhaustion and followed her into the bathroom.
Shen Heyu heard footsteps behind her and turned around somewhat displeased, saying, "Why are you following me?"
"I’m worried you’re too tired, I want to help you," he said, managing to keep a straight face.
But Shen Heyu remembered that every time he helped her bathe, it ended with something else happening.
But he didn’t give her the opportunity to refuse, and simply turned around and closed the bathroom door.
Shen Heyu, seeing this, instinctively stepped back, "I’m really tired, I don’t want to do anything else."
"I’m just here to help you bathe," Pei Yansi said as he walked up to her.
He took the clothes from her hands and casually hung them on the wall, then continued, "What else do you think I would do?"
Shen Heyu was left speechless by his words.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed and shy, her emotions were mixed.
She didn’t say anything, watching Pei Yansi fill the bathtub with the shower, occasionally testing the temperature with his finger.
His manner was genuinely caring and extremely attentive, something Shen Heyu had almost never seen him show to herself.
She was momentarily dazed.
"What are you daydreaming about now?"
Pei Yansi spoke up, interrupting her thoughts.
He gestured for her to come closer to him.
Shen Heyu still hesitated, standing still for a moment.
Impatient, Pei Yansi reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her towards him, then immediately began to help her take off her outer garment.
Seeing his actions, Shen Heyu nervously covered her clothes and said, "I can do it myself."
"Then don’t dawdle, I’m tired too," he was eager to wrap this up and rest, knowing she was genuinely exhausted today and wasn’t planning anything else.
But she didn’t trust him.
So, he didn’t explain much further.
Shen Heyu, not daring to delay any longer, quickly took off her outer garment and sat down in the bathtub.
Pei Yansi looked at her, his eyes indifferent, showing no lust whatsoever; it seemed he truly wasn’t planning on doing anything to her.
At that, Shen Heyu’s heart relaxed a bit.
No sooner had her heart eased than she heard him ask, "Why do you trust the supporting male character so much?"
It was a question that came from the depths of his heart.
Why was it so easy for others to gain her trust, while she always held him at arm’s length?
Was it something others did right that he lacked? She could tell him; he could learn and change. Just don’t avoid him, don’t leave him, don’t mistrust him.
But to Shen Heyu, his words weren’t as simple as they seemed.
She thought that this man was about to lose his temper again.
So she said, "I don’t really trust him that much."
Shen Heyu thought her response was flawless; it flattered Pei Yansi. It shouldn’t make him jealous or trigger his awful possessiveness.
Yet unexpectedly, Pei Yansi, who hadn’t been angry at first, visibly darkened at her words.
He’d asked her directly, why didn’t she just say it?
He had shown his better temper, forcefully suppressing his darker side.
And why hadn’t she changed?
What exactly was the problem?
The more Pei Yansi thought about it, the angrier he became.
Shen Heyu, seeing the look in his eyes, felt that this was definitely not him just helping her bathe; it felt much more like torment.
Thankfully, the man’s mood didn’t last long.
It was like a quick storm that, though sudden and without apparent reason, ended swiftly.
Shen Heyu even doubted whether what she had just seen, his supposed anger, was just her imagination.
After bathing, he held Shen Heyu, returning to the large bed in the bedroom.
They hadn’t separated from their daughter because Pei Yansi loved her and worried that she would be afraid sleeping alone in a new environment.
Just as before, Pei Yansi embraced Shen Heyu in his arms, and she held their daughter.
It was as if he held the entire world.
His heart was completely filled.
The three of them slept peacefully, looking like a sweet family of three.
However, only Pei Yansi knew that in seven days, she would surely leave him.
Now, everything she did was merely to comply with his proposal.
Pei Yansi spent almost the entire night awake.
He got up early again the next day.
He and his daughter woke up almost simultaneously; Shen Heyu was still sleeping. He personally took Yuexue to wash up and then went for a walk in the morning. When they returned, Shen Heyu had just woken.
She got up from bed, saw that Pei Yansi and their daughter were already neatly dressed and had been outside, and felt a bit suspicious.
"Did I sleep for a long time?" she asked uncertainly.
Pei Yansi shook his head, sat beside her, and spontaneously took the clothes next to him.
"You were tired, sleeping a bit more is normal," he said. "Wash up, then come down for breakfast."
Actually, it was already nighttime in this country.
But their internal clocks hadn’t immediately adjusted.
This country was most famous for its night views.
While Shen Heyu was washing, Pei Yansi leaned by the door, impatiently telling her, "I’ll take you out to see the night view later."
Instinctively, she was about to say she didn’t want to go.
