âYou really⦠donât hate me?â Pei Jiao seemed to want to confirm again if she had heard wrong.
There was no impatience on Wei Yuâs face as he answered truthfully, âNo.â
Pei Jiao was very happy. She took the opportunity to ask him again, âThen do you like me?
Wei Yu looked down at her and did not answer. Instead, he asked her, âWhat kind of like do you mean?â
Pei Jiao tightened her fingers and looked a little nervous. âThe kind between a man and a woman.â
Wei Yu shook his head. âNo,â
Hearing him say no without hesitation, the joy in Pei Jiaoâs eyes instantly disappeared. She did not seem to expect Wei Yu to tell her the answer directly instead of avoiding the question. âYou donât like me at all?â She wasnât giving up.
Wei Yu said, âMaybe I have a good impression of you, but I donât like you.â âGood impressions arenât the same as liking,â she said.
Wei Yu looked very serious. âl know itâs different. Liking is an involuntary feeling from the bottom of my heart. The range of liking is very wide, and liking creatures is also a kind of liking.â
Pei Jiao looked at his serious face. âThen look at my eyes.â
Wei Yu did as he was told and looked straight into Pei Jiaoâs big eyes. âAnd?â
Pei Jiao suddenly approached him. Wei Yu did not move, nor did he move back. Pei Jiao lowered her head in frustration. âLiking someone comes from the heart, and liking someone comes from the eyes. You didnât hide or even blink. As expected, itâs just a good impression. I know.â
Wei Yu took in all her reactions. He realized that her emotions were not changeable. They had only changed more because of him. She was clearly very happy a second ago. Just because of his answer, her mood instantly plummeted. âWhat do you know?â Wei Yu asked her deliberately.
Pei Jiao turned around and walked in. âl know you donât like me anymore.â âFei Yi.â Wei Yu turned around and looked at her back. He called her name.
Pei Jiao stood where she was and did not turn around. The atmosphere between them was relatively silent.
Wei Yu said, âTurn around.â
Pei Jiao did not move, pretending not to hear him. Wei Yu suppressed his racing heart and walked towards her back.
Standing beside her, he reasoned with her in a relatively gentle tone. âMen and women donât like each other the same way. You might like me on a whim. It starts with a skin you get tired of looking at. When youâre tired of looking at it, youâll quickly find the next skin you like better. And menâs liking is mostly confirmation.â
âYouâre going the other way,â Pei Jiao retorted.
She raised her head sideways and met his gaze. âWomen donât fall for each other just because of their looks. Men are the visual animals.â
If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, Pei Jiao would probably have laughed out loud. In this materialistic world, men being loyal are especially precious. It was only normal to love one after seeing one.
A peerless good man like her brother, who loved someone wholeheartedly, was almost extinct. At least, that was what Pei Jiao thought.
Although he was refuted, Wei Yu did not try to retort. âIn your definition, Iâm a man who loves one whenever I see one. Then why do you still like me?â
Pei Jiao took half a step towards him and said to him word by word, âBecause Iâm tempted by sex.â Wei Yu:
Knock knock knock â
There was a knock on the door.
Pei Jiao grinned at Wei Yu. âIâll open the door.â
Wei Yu stared at her back as she went to open the door. His tongue pressed against his molars that were faintly itching. What a good reason to be lustful.
Pei Jiao opened the door and saw that it was Ji He who had brought breakfast.
She smiled sweetly and greeted Ji He. âGood morning, Assistant He.â Ji He walked in with breakfast. âCorrection, Miss Fei. My surname is Ji.â
âIsnât that a very special address? In the future, when 1 call you Assistant He, youâll know itâs me.â After saying that, Pei Jiao pointed at the small table beside her. âJust leave breakfast here.â
âThat makes sense.â Ji He agreed with Pei Jiao and placed breakfast in her designated spot. Wei Yu walked over with one hand in his pocket. Ji He immediately smiled and greeted, âYoung Master.â
Wei Yu pulled a face. âAre you in a good mood?â
Ji He couldnât laugh anymore. He silently lowered his head and thought to himself that he was finished. He had immediately bumped into a gunpowder muzzle and didnât even know what was going on..
