Without waiting for him to ask why she came to find him, Lu Lili spoke with some excitement in her tone, “Brother Pei, there are mice in my room!
“It seems like there are two of them. I heard them squeaking, and one even jumped onto my blanket. It was really scary!”
Lu Lili recalled the scene when she was lying in bed, ready to fall asleep, and the mouse suddenly landed on her blanket with a thud. She still felt a lingering fear.
When it came to sleeping at night, she wasn’t afraid of zombies or ghosts since they were all fictional. She was only afraid of mice, cockroaches, spiders, and similar creatures. She was afraid that they would crawl onto her body, which was just too disgusting! Just the thought of it gave her goosebumps all over her body!
Pei Yijian immediately understood that she was scared by the mice. He wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he resisted the urge, thinking about his conversation with Wen Qijin earlier tonight.
Then he forced a smile and said, “No one has lived in that room before, so it’s quite normal to have mice. If you’re really afraid, we can swap rooms.”
Unfortunately, Lu Lili had already sensed something off in his tone.
Leaning forward, she sniffed near his mouth and asked, “Brother Pei, did you just have a drink?”
She caught a faint smell of alcohol.
But she observed his face and found no signs of drunkenness. It seemed that he was someone who knew how to drink in moderation.
Very well behaved, Lu Lili praised in her heart, satisfied.
“Mmm,” Pei Yijian nodded firmly and then added, as if worried that she might misunderstand, “I was drinking with them in the courtyard just now.”
Lu Lili naturally knew that ‘them’ referred to Zhou Yue and Wen Qijin.
She smiled mischievously, looking at the beautiful young man before her who had already revealed his feelings for her. Suddenly, she wanted to play a trick on him.
Well, Lu Lili admitted that she had been waiting for him in the room, wanting to do something mischievous to him.
The thought that he wouldn’t even make a move to kiss her was so amusing to Lu Lili!
Perhaps she could teach him more?
“Can I also taste the wine you were drinking, Brother Pei?” she asked, her voice unconsciously tinged with charm in the flickering candlelight.
Pei Yijian thought about the empty wine flasks and replied, “There’s none left. I can buy some for you tomorrow.”
Lu Lili’s smile became even brighter. “No need to buy, I can taste it like this.”
At the next moment, she tiptoed and took the initiative to give a deep kiss.
Pei Yijian reluctantly opened his mouth, finally understanding the meaning of her earlier words.
He hesitated for a moment and instinctively tried to push her away, but the next second, he greedily held onto her, indulging in the kiss that dissipated his rationality.
It was only when he felt a coolness on his body that Pei Yijian gradually regained his senses. He quickly grabbed her wandering hand, enduring the discomfort, and said, “Princess, please… don’t…”
Yes, he must not forget, she was a princess.
In the future, it might not be possible for her to marry him. He couldn’t let himself lose control!
Lu Lili sensed his unease from his voice, mistaking it as him wanting to resist but still wanting it. She whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, I will take responsibility for you, Pei Yijian. I love you.”
Perhaps it was because of this passionate confession that Pei Yijian slowly loosened his grip on her hand. His pair of narrow and beautiful eyes were as deep as an abyss.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips again.
This time, he was taking the lead.
He could confidently say now : he would do it!
The next day, Pei Yijian didn’t wake up early as usual.
There was one missing person at breakfast, and Zhou Yue and Wen Qijin ate in silence.
It was obvious that they could guess the reason why Pei Yijian couldn’t get up this morning.
Zhou Yue: “…”
Wen Qijin: “…”
The two of them exchanged a knowing look, feeling that everything had happened too suddenly.
