A few seconds of silence...

Xu Nanyin raised her foot and stepped hard on his foot.

"hiss……"

Pei Jingmo suddenly loosened his grip due to the pain, and she took the opportunity to take a step back and break free from him.

Master Pei leaned against the wall with one arm, glanced at the print of his right foot, and narrowed his fox eyes slightly, "Xu Nanyin, you only stepped on one of my feet, didn't you?"

"Come on, this foot is jealous, do you want to show some favor too and step on it symmetrically?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his left foot, and Xu Nanyin stepped on it without hesitation!

He quickly retracted his foot and laughed angrily, "Are you really stepping on me? If you use a little more force, I'll break into pieces."

Leng Bai's slender fingertips gently pinched her chin, "Is it fun to have a lame husband?"

Xu Nanyin was stunned for a moment and pushed his hand away forcefully, "Are you sick?"

"Yes, lovesickness."

The man's voice suddenly became very low and soft, as if mixed with many undercurrents of emotion: "If you don't come back, I will be terminally ill."

His thin lips were curled up in his usual cynical smile, making it impossible to tell whether he was sincere or joking.

In Xu Nanyin's eyes, it was just a trick he used to tease her. She sneered: "I said, I don't know you!"

She tried to leave, but Pei Jingmo's tall and slender figure blocked her in an instant.

"You don't recognize me? You mean you remember them all but me?"

"That shouldn't be the case. I'm more memorable than all of them combined. It's unforgettable after just one meeting, right?"

Pei Jingmo put his hands in his pockets casually, leaned over slightly, and got close to her face.

His extremely handsome features magnified before her eyes, as if to demonstrate with facts how unforgettable his captivating face was. Xu Nanyin held her breath for a few seconds, snorted coldly, and tried to retreat, but his arm forcefully grasped her lower back.

The man's deep voice was in her ear, nonchalantly seductive: "Besides, you haven't just seen me, you've also used me, haven't you?"

Xu Nanyin's heartbeat skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed, and she was about to lose her temper when Pei Jingmo suddenly took a step back and called out from behind her, "Teacher Wang."

She thought this pervert was playing a trick on her again, but when she turned around, she actually saw Wang Can coming out of the lounge.

Their class was the first batch of students Wang Can taught after his vocational education, so he was particularly close to them.

She changed into a red tube-top toast dress, looking festive and beautiful. She approached them with a curious look on her face, "Is there something going on between you two?"

Pei Jingmo curled his lips nonchalantly, "The teacher said yes, so it must be there."

"You boy!"

Wang Can affectionately put his arm around Xu Nanyin's shoulders and said with a smile, "Nanyin, I noticed it when you were in school. This kid's eyes are almost glued to the back of your head every time you're in class! He peeks at you eight hundred times in one class!"

Stunned for a moment, Xu Nanyin looked at Pei Jingmo in surprise.

Pei Jingmo coughed lightly and said in a nonchalant and lazy tone: "Teacher, you are exaggerating. How could I have that? You must have seen it wrong."

Wang Can laughed and said, "Hey kid, I'm standing on the podium. Not to mention your little movements, I can even see you fart..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jingmo looked around with a vigilant look on his face and said mysteriously, "Teacher, only the three of us know about this. Please don't let it leak out."

"What's the matter?" Wang Can became inexplicably nervous.

"You can even see the gas clearly."

Those fox eyes held a sly smile, and he said mischievously, "I'm afraid you'll be mistaken for an alien and taken to a lab for research. That would be disastrous."

Gas = fart...

Wang Can reacted and scolded him, "You're making fun of me, you little brat! Nanyin, take care of him!"

"Teacher, you misunderstood. Pei Jingmo and I are not in that kind of relationship." Xu Nanyin's voice was very soft and calm. "We are not a good match."

Wang Can was stunned. "When I saw you guys getting so close, I thought..."

The smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and a touch of emotion surged. Pei Jingmo changed the subject, "Teacher, you are really beautiful today. As for my master, he has very humorous facial features, and judging by the amount of hair, his IQ is also high."

Wang Can was both angry and amused. "It's fine if you're making fun of me, you bastard, but don't bring my husband along!"

"Tsk, you're protecting her..." Pei Jingmo said sourly and glanced at Xu Nanyin.

Wang Can’s husband is an outstanding scholar who returned from abroad to build the motherland. His laboratory specializes in high-tech fields.

Pei Jingmo remembered something, "If Master's laboratory is short of funds, please let me know at any time."

"Oh?" Wang Can looked at him with a smile.

"I don't have a wife to protect me, but I do have a lot of money. I'm happy to contribute to the scientific and technological development of our country and make a difference."

Wang Can chuckled, praised him for being sensible, and then hurried back to the banquet hall to toast.

Xu Nanyin was about to leave when she suddenly heard a man's deep voice behind her: "Don't say things like 'we're not a good match' anymore."

When Pei Jingmo confessed his feelings to her, her first reaction was that he was joking with her, and she was terrified. It wasn't until he emphasized several times that he really liked her that she nervously muttered with red eyes, "How can I be worthy of you... We're not a good match."

At that time, he looked at her and felt so distressed that he didn't know what to do.

Xu Nanyin paused, and a sour feeling suddenly came out of her mind.

But when she turned around, her expression returned to normal, and she said calmly: "Did you misunderstand something?"

Pei Jingmo put one hand in his trouser pocket and gave her a puzzled look.

"What I mean by unsuitable is, how can a pheasant be paired with a phoenix?"

Xu Nanyin crossed her arms and looked him up and down with a hint of disgust.

After being stunned for several seconds, Pei Jingmo pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me? Pheasant?"

"Wild boars can't eat fine bran." Xu Nanyin glanced at him with disdain again.

Pei Jingmo laughed out of anger on the spot. Well, well, in just this one second, he turned into a wild boar again?

No one can be reincarnated as quickly as him!

With a cold snort, Xu Nanyin turned and left, but the man's black leather shoes with footprints blocked her way.

"Even if you're a phoenix, you can't just step on someone else's chicken feet and walk away, right?"

Xu Nanyin's mouth twitched: "......?"

However, this footprint does look very abrupt on the elegant and handsome Mr. Pei.

With a cold face, she took out a small pack of tissues and handed it to him.

Pei Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Can this be cleaned? You have to be responsible for me. Why don't we get a presidential suite and clean it slowly in the bathroom..."

"Don't forget it."

Xu Nanyin decisively withdrew her hand, but the man's hand suddenly reached out. While taking the tissue, his slender finger bones pushed her hand apart and interlocked his fingers with hers.

His palms were warm, and his fingers touched against hers, creating a subtle atmosphere.

Her ears were burning. She saw the man's beautiful and seductive fox eyes smiling cunningly and evilly: "I have eaten this plate of bran many times before, and I will have to eat double in the future."

"I've got you."

Pei Jingmo let go of her hand and turned away first.

Looking at his departing figure, Xu Nanyin rubbed her forehead, her heart, which had been silent for too long, suddenly became a mess...

She originally wanted to leave after the wedding, but unexpectedly, Wang Can arranged a KTV room for them in the hotel.

The private room was very large, and about twenty old classmates gathered together.

After Xu Nanyin entered the room, she glanced at Pei Jingmo who was in the center of the crowd, and sat in the dimly lit corner farthest away from him.

Suddenly, Fan Jian stood sideways in front of her, and thought he was very handsome. He loosened his tie with one hand, rubbed his hands, and touched his jawline...

He pretended to be awesome eight hundred times in one second.

Then he turned around as if he had just seen her, and smiled and winked.

Xu Nanyin looked at him as if he was looking at someone in a zoo.

Fan Jian coughed, glanced at her eye-catchingly beautiful face, and sat down next to her with a licked face, "Old classmate, add me on WeChat."

“No WeChat.”

"Who doesn't have WeChat these days? Apply for one."

"I just don't want to add you. Do you really have to ask me to say it?"

After being humiliated again and again, Fan Jian gritted his teeth and said sarcastically, "Tsk! You were just a poor country bumpkin before, but you really think you're a fairy..."

Xu Nanyin smiled gently: "I'm not a fairy, but you are definitely a defense-breaking man."

The corners of Fan Jian's mouth twitched, his face looked a little ferocious, and he was about to burst into rage.

"Get out of the way!" A reckless voice suddenly sounded.

Pei Jingmo's face was gloomy, and his tall and handsome figure was full of oppression. He raised his chin towards Fan Jian and said, "Get out of the way."

Fan Jian's expression was clearly a bit embarrassing, but he didn't dare to say anything. He stood up hurriedly and said, "Mr. Pei, please sit down."

Pei Jingmo bent his knees and pushed the leather chair closer to Xu Nanyin, then sat down, crossed one of his long legs, and slowly leaned back on the chair.

Xu Nanyin frowned and wanted to get up and change her seat, but then she thought better of it, as it would seem like she cared about him a lot.

The private room was very lively. Someone took the microphone first and started to request a song.

Xu Nanyin turned sideways with her back to Pei Jingmo, buried her head in the message on her mobile phone, listening intermittently, when suddenly, she felt a poke in her lower back.

She subconsciously turned around and saw that his index finger was still against her waist.

He poked her again unscrupulously, "Just listen to the singing, can you please respect the microphone, lights, and speakers here?"

What are you doing again?

"..." Xu Nanyin wanted to cover her ears immediately, but the lyrics got in first:

You are the love that I don't want to lose contact with in this life

Enduring the long wait of losing you

I want to hold you in my arms every second, you are the cutest in the world]

For a moment, she was suddenly stunned.

In the dim corner, the man's gaze became more and more intense, entangled with her closely, and Xu Nanyin's heart suddenly seemed to be touched by something, and became numb and astringent.

Until he said in a casual, smirking tone, "Tsk, why are you singing all my thoughts?"

"Do you think the person who wrote this song stole my brain waves?"
