Pei Yucheng was lying on the bed with a book in his hand, staring intently at it.
Lin Yan was speechless...
So Pei Yucheng was there to read?
She was a little confused. Why wasnât he in the study?
Lin Yan studied Pei Yuchengâs current state and decided to spend the night reading with him.
âArenât you going to sleep?â
Pei Yucheng put the book down and adjusted his spectacles.
Lin Yan shook her head. âIâm not sleepy at all. Mr. Pei... To be honest, Iâm a night owl. I donât feel sleepy even in the morning. Staying up late has become a common occurrence for me.â
She felt terrible all day!
Pei Yucheng chuckled in amusement. However, he didnât say anything else. Instead, he continued to read the book.
âMr. Pei, what are you reading?â
Lin Yan couldnât help but glance at Pei Yucheng.
The book in his hand was weird. It didnât seem to be a book that was sold on the market.
It looked a little old, and there was no name on it.
âThis?â
Pei Yucheng put the book down gently and grinned at Lin Yan. âDo you want to know?â
Lin Yan was speechless...
She didnât really want to. She just felt awkward. She was merely trying to find a topic to talk about.
âTry me.â Lin Yan stroked her chin.
âCome here.â
Pei Yucheng gazed at her quietly.
Lin Yan contemplated this for a few seconds before walking carefully to the bed like a kitten.
In the end, she had no choice but to lie quietly beside Pei Yucheng.
Lin Yan realized that she had never been so close to Pei Yucheng before. Even if she had, she hadnât been as relaxed as she was today.
Lin Yanâs eyes darted from the book to Pei Yucheng.
Pei Yucheng had lost his usual intimidating aura.
He was wearing loose-fitting pajamas as he lay on the bed, he had a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles on, and he was holding a book in his hands, which made him look lazy and nonchalant.
His looks and aura... were worlds apart.
âAre you curious about me or about the book?â Pei Yuchengâs eyes landed on Lin Yan with a sly smile.
âIâm curious about you...â Lin Yan blurted out.
Pei Yucheng replied, âReally? If youâre curious about me, what do you want to know?â
Lin Yan was speechless...
What she wanted to know the most was why he hadnât gone to the study instead. Why had he gone to her bed to read?
âMr. Pei, what kind of book are you reading?â Lin Yan tried to change the topic. She had almost been led astray by him.
âItâs about the key.â Pei Yucheng grinned.
âThe key?â
Lin Yan was startled.
âThe key to the human raceâs evolution,â Pei Yucheng added when he noticed Lin Yanâs confusion.
âHuman evolution...â Lin Yan grinned. âThatâs too far away.â
âIs it so far away? Perhaps it happened long ago,â answered Pei Yucheng. âDo you want to know what the crux of the human race is?â Pei Yucheng pressed on.
Lin Yan propped her chin on her hand as she fell into deep thought.
How would she know what the crux of human evolution was? If she had known, she would have used it and become the wealthiest woman in the world!
