After dinner, we watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and soon it was past midnight.

Fireworks have been going on for a long time in the suburbs a little further away.

Yunyao leaned against the window and took a picture with her phone.

Pei Yanqing also stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the fireworks in the distance, his eyes unfathomable.

"If you like it, just go and release it yourself."

Yun Yao glanced at him sideways, "It's too late to buy it at this hour."

"I know there's another place like that."

Yun Yao was pulled away by Pei Yanqing, still somewhat surprised that he had recovered so quickly after losing so much blood.

So anemia is only a female trait, right?

Pei Yanqing took two masks from the hotel front desk, one for himself and one for Yun Yao.

Then he led her through a maze of turns, until they entered an old alley.

There really was a fireworks shop there, just like Pei Yanqing had mentioned.

However, most of the fancy ones were sold out, leaving only a few handheld fireworks.

It was so cold that Yunyao could only stomp her feet as she walked.

We walked to a slightly more open area.

Yun Yao took out a firework and held it out to Pei Yanqing, "Lighter."

Pei Yanqing leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette, a puff of white smoke slowly obscuring his cool and aloof profile.

He stood there, like the cold winter sun, languid and indifferent, or like the faint starlight in an autumn night, distant and detached.

It's the kind of temperament that comes from someone in a superior position, who looks down on everyone and everything.

Yun Yao stared at him blankly, and for a moment even wondered if he had regained his memories.

If she regains her memories, will she be dumped by the male lead's subordinates before she even has a chance to develop much of the story with him, and then it's game over...?

It seems she needs to speed things up.

My thoughts wandered far away, and I slowly lowered my raised hand.

But the next second, Pei Yanqing grabbed her wrist, coldly holding the cigarette, and lit the handheld firework in Yun Yao's hand.

When lighting the fire, she changed her position, standing in the direction the wind was blowing, so that the fire or she... wouldn't be blown away by the wind.

He still had that noble and aloof face, but when Yun Yao looked up at him, his eyes were somewhat misty.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, as if it were unbelievable.

It made him a little embarrassed...

Perhaps he's a bit naive; he has a lighter but doesn't use it, instead lighting it with a cigarette?

He only saw that Yun Yao was about to withdraw her hand, and his first reaction was to light her cigarette.

"No..." Yun Yao realized her expression was off; her spoiler-like expression was rather strange. "It's just that the fireworks are more beautiful than I imagined."

Also, she really should speed up the plot.

The male lead has already regained his memories, and the plot of her seducing him hasn't even really started yet.

Thinking of this, Yun Yao took Pei Yanqing's hand and said, "My hands are so cold, can you warm them up for me?"

Pei Yanqing was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Yun Yao to suddenly be so... proactive... or rather, intentionally approach him?

Could it be that she also deliberately approached him?

Her family background was as simple as it gets.

It couldn't have been sent from over there.

So...it seems it's because of Wen Yuhan...

Did she deliberately approach him, hoping to get revenge on Wen Yuhan?

Pei Yanqing's lips suddenly curved into a smile. Taking risks is not something a good girl should do.

However, this was exactly what he wanted, as he no longer wanted to hide himself.

Although he didn't know what his feelings for Yun Yao were, he knew for sure that he had desires for her.

Pei Yanqing reached out and grasped her hand. When he first touched it, he was genuinely surprised, "It really is very cold."

At the same time, a strange feeling arose in my heart.

Why are the girl's hands so cold?

I just want to hold her in my arms and warm her up.

Thinking this way, he actually did it.

When Yun Yao was pulled into his arms, her mind was still buzzing.

The male lead is a better actor than she imagined.

Even if it's just acting for the female lead, it doesn't have to be this convincing.

However, he was incredibly warm, like a heater, and it was super comfortable to hug.

She couldn't help but snuggle against him a couple of times.

Pei Yanqing felt the girl's movements in his arms and his heart softened for a moment for no apparent reason.

If I had previously intended to use her as a tool to relieve my desires, at this moment, I suddenly felt like I wanted to hold her like this forever, without having to do anything else, just wanting to hold her.

"Yun Yao, will you be my girlfriend?"

Although he regretted it the very next second after saying it, he didn't add anything like "I was just joking, just teasing you."

In fact, a longing arose in his heart, hoping that she would agree.

However, from any perspective, he shouldn't have said that.

His situation is too dangerous; it will implicate her.

"Or..." Never mind.

Before Pei Yanqing could finish speaking, Yun Yao interrupted him.

"Okay."

Pei Yanqing trembled. "What did you say?"

Yun Yao stepped out of his arms, blinked her starry eyes, and looked up at him. "I said yes."

Pei Yanqing couldn't quite describe her feelings; they were a mix of emotions, but the strongest emotion was fear.

Actually, he rarely has anything he's afraid of.

He spoke somewhat nervously, as if trying to salvage something very important, "I was actually joking."

Yun Yao shook her head, directly rejecting his so-called joke, "No, you have to ask first, then I'll agree. Now it doesn't count if you go back on your word."

Having finally reached this point in the story, she had to force herself to change it.

Pei Yanqing deliberately tried to scare her, saying, "I'm a hoodlum, much worse than you think."

"So what?" Yun Yao yawned. "So, boyfriend, I'm sleepy. Can we go back to the hotel? I want to sleep."

Pei Yanqing's throat tightened, and after hesitating for a long time, as if making a heavy promise, he finally uttered a single word, "Okay."

The hotel room only had one bed.

Yun Yao didn't want to sleep on the sofa, and she was also embarrassed to let Pei Yanqing, who was injured, sleep on the sofa, so the two of them had no choice but to share a bed.

Since Pei Yanqing is the male lead, Yun Yao isn't worried at all about what he might do to her.

I reckon Pei Yanqing would have a harder time than she would if they were lying in the same bed.

Sleeping in the same bed with someone you don't like must be really uncomfortable.

He thought almost exactly the same thing as Yun Yao.

Pei Yanqing is indeed having a very tough time.

But what he found difficult was that he had never shared a bed with a girl.

Moreover, this girl was someone he had feelings for and physical attraction to.

Fortunately, because I lost a lot of blood in the afternoon, I was more tired than usual, and finally managed to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

The next day, when I woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

The girl I was holding all night is gone.

He threw back the covers, got up, grabbed his phone from the table, and dialed a number.

His voice carried a hint of anger.

But the next second, the bathroom door was opened with a "click".

The girl came out with her hair still wet and holding a hairdryer in her hand.

Pei Yanqing hung up the phone immediately, ignoring the fact that the person on the other end hadn't finished speaking.
