No? Can I read the mind of my mortal enemy?

The words "I want to marry you" completely stunned Shi Qiao.

Especially now, Pei Jingnian, wearing a medieval-style ruffled lantern-sleeved shirt, and a smoky gray vest, accentuates his perfect shoulder-to-waist ratio.

The shirt was tucked completely into black fishtail trousers that fit the shape of the legs, giving off a strong courtly style.

The stylist also extended his hair length according to the outfit, styled his bangs into an outward curled middle part, and gathered all the ends of his hair to one side, tying them into a ponytail with a thin string.

He seemed like a real prince.

Slip.

She lifted her skirt and took a small step to the side, replying with a flat "Oh" in a low voice.

The two of them just stood there, not looking at each other, staring into the air until their faces turned bright red.

They look like two small, motionless figurines.

【So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful*n

My wife, my lover, my lady, my master, my wife...

"Perfect timing! Eggplant!"

A familiar female voice rang out from directly in front of her, and Shi Qiao turned her head in a daze to meet the dense barrage of camera lenses.

Click, a photo is captured.

Mengmeng flashed a beautiful eight-tooth smile from behind the camera, followed by Xiao Li, Dudu, and Wanzi peeking out from behind her one by one, waving and greeting her incessantly.

Pei Jingnian's face darkened.

Shi Qiao, lifting her skirt which made movement difficult, took small steps forward to greet them. "What are you doing here?"

Dudu grinned and pushed up her glasses. "Because Victoria Harbour University's arts festival is really famous. You can come as long as you have a friend who can give you a ticket. One ticket can bring two people."

"Then when we were looking at the program, we found out that you were actually the lead in Romeo and Juliet, so we asked our friends to let us go backstage."

Maruko couldn't help but wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth. "But Shi Qiao, you look so beautiful today..."

"I thought some female celebrity had just arrived. Why don't you consider entering the entertainment industry? Just your face alone is enough!"

Xiao Li waved the CCD in his hand, "Don't worry, today I'm your personal photographer, Shi Qiao!"

As they were talking, Xiao Li waved to the other side, "Lin Ruo! We're over here!"

Shi Qiao once again experienced what the "six-person rule" meant.

The group gathered together and soon entered a frenzy of taking "costume photos + stills".

Because of his mobility issues, Shi Qiao stood still, which became the best spot for taking photos today.

"What a coincidence!! We're here!!" Jiang Youran, who had gone out to buy snacks, came running over with two large bags of snacks in her arms.

Shen Chen, holding his phone, put down the several bags he was carrying. "Honey, why do you look so beautiful today?"

Shi Qiao waved her hands in the air, "Quick, quick, come over and take a picture together."

"The photographers are new friends I've met, Mengmeng, Wanzi, Xiaoli, and Dudu."

Jiang Youran and Shen Chen stood on either side of Shi Qiao, carefully avoiding her long skirt.

The two people on either side each made half a heart, while Shi Qiao made a complete heart in the very middle, laughing without any attempt to hide her laughter.

A few minutes passed, and at first only members of the Romeo and Juliet cast came to take pictures.

But then someone suddenly shouted, "There's a beautiful woman here!" and people from other groups followed the scent.

People, whether they knew her or not, all came over to take photos with her.

I just wanted to take a picture with a beautiful woman.

The four adorable girls transformed into photography teachers at the scenic spot, constantly pointing out "left, left, left," "right, right, right," "yes, yes, yes," and "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."

Less than half an hour before the Romeo and Juliet cast was scheduled to go on stage, Lin Ruo, Jiang Youran, and Shen Chen, acting like top agents, surrounded Shi Qiao.

"Excuse me, everyone, we're going on stage in a bit. Those of you who want to take photos, please come back after the performance!"

Lin Ruo kept handing out brochures, saying, "Welcome everyone to follow our medical school's Romeo and Juliet! You can vote for us on the official website!"

Shi Qiao quietly stepped aside, and after this experience, the tension completely disappeared.

Jiang Youran followed, took out a bottle of mineral water, twisted it open, inserted a straw, and handed it to Shi Qiao. "By the way, where's your boyfriend?"

"I thought he would suddenly appear as a bodyguard when we were taking pictures."

Shi Qiao was sipping her drink when she heard this sentence and her body froze completely.

Oops!

I've completely forgotten about this person!

There were too many people and it was too noisy just now, so she didn't pay attention to Pei Jingnian's thoughts.

She swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down, but still couldn't catch Pei Jingnian's voice.

That's strange, they're so obedient.

She circled around a couple of times and found Pei Jingnian in a corner where no one paid any attention.

His head slumped against the wall, his eyes were closed, and he was shrouded in shadow. He looked listless, but if you looked closely, his chest was still rising and falling irregularly.

They look like they're in a lot of pain.

Shi Qiao frowned slightly and quickly walked to Pei Jingnian. "Pei Jingnian? Are you alright?"

Pei Jingnian raised his head slightly upon hearing the sound, his pupils dilating for half a second before quickly focusing on Shi Qiao.

He leaned closer, nuzzled Shi Qiao's ear with his head, and said nothing.

Shi Qiao anxiously knelt down and took his hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Don't be scared..."

A very light breath was breathed on her ear, followed by a man's laughter mixed with breathiness.

"You've been tricked, haven't you?" Pei Jingnian tilted his head, opening only one eye, his dark eyelashes trembling slightly, concealing a childish cunning.

The long braid that fell to his shoulder now looked just like a disgruntled dog's tail, drooping down.

Every now and then, it would sway its head dejectedly.

It seems to be saying:

"You finally remembered me?"

So he was faking it? She almost thought he wasn't feeling well!

Why are you acting like a child, using such clumsy tricks to attract attention?

Shi Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth, squatted down, and gently poked his palm with a finger. "You stingy little thing, using such a trick. I worried about you for nothing."

"But it worked." Pei Jingnian hooked his hand and cupped both of her hands in his palm. "Now that stingy little devil is up to his tricks, I've got you."

He brought it to his lips, pretending to chew, "If I eat your whole soul, you won't be able to escape."

"Isn't that childish?" Shi Qiao rolled her eyes at Pei Jingnian mischievously, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Her lips were glistening with a beautiful sheen, like ripples spreading across a lake, making it impossible to look away.

"If I say something childish, will my wife hate me?" He gently pressed his cheek against Shi Qiao's palm.

Shi Qiao froze, her eyes drooping as she stared shyly at the flared hem of her skirt. "No way."

"But don't use that method next time, it's kind of scary." She felt a chill down her spine and withdrew her hands.

"Do you know the story of the boy who cried wolf? If you try that trick again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Pei Jingnian leaned close to her ear and whispered his reply, enunciating each word clearly:

"Yes, my dear wife."

The previous group's performance ended, and the stage curtain fell.

Now, after another ten minutes of set setup, it's finally their turn, the Romeo and Juliet crew.

Pei Jingnian stood up first, one hand behind his back, the other hand naturally extended, his movements fluid, presenting a beautiful invitation to dance.

He bent down to a height that Shi Qiao could easily reach with a slight reach.

"My dear Miss Juliet, would you like to come up on stage with me?"

Shi Qiao was taken aback. Pei Jingnian, who had covered the light on his head, had an extremely sharp bone structure with distinct features, but the faint smile on his lips added a sense of abruptness.

She took a few seconds to react before hastily boarding the bus.

"I'll reluctantly agree."

Pei Jingnian tightened his grip slightly, pulling her slender waist into his arms, and lightly kissed the back of her hand with his thin lips.

Shi Qiao's fingers were burning hot. She lightly brushed her fingertips against his prominent lips and hummed softly, "Romeo, you scoundrel."

The man in front of her wasn't angry; he simply hugged her even tighter.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Juliet."

At that moment, Mengmeng and the others, who were crouching in the corner, were frantically pressing the shutter button.

Mengmeng/Xiaoli/Dudu/Wanzi/Linruo/Jiang Youran/Shenchen: That's why real couples are the best to ship!
