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

Pei Jingnian was wearing a white lab coat, and he casually stuffed his lab access pass into his front pocket.

The lenses of his half-rimmed glasses gleamed with an eerie blue light, and the veins on the back of his hands were prominent, twitching from time to time.

The laboratory building faces the sports field. Pei Jingnian originally only planned to come out for some fresh air and see Shi Qiao after finishing the first phase of the experiment.

When he looked up, he saw the unidentified creature and his wife touch hands for a moment.

[Damn it, does he think I'm dead? This idiot.]

Is your urine matte? Don't you know your own weight?

Lu Zhou followed closely behind, leaning against the goalpost and panting heavily, muttering to himself:

"Damn... Old Pei, is he a horse? He runs... runs so fast."

"I'm exhausted... I'm so tired!"

Xia Heng's jawline tightened, and he adopted the expression of a resilient blade of grass:

"Senior Pei, I know my family is not as well-off as yours, but I will compensate for what I owe."

"Besides, Shi Qiao and I are friends."

Pei Jingnian lightly touched the tip of his tongue against his front teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "Friend?"

"You don't deserve it..." This dirty duck who secretly swindles money from the boss.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhou rushed forward, coughing and coughing!

He made exaggerated facial expressions, almost as if he was saying, "Watch out, your wife is still here."

Pei Jingnian swallowed the rest of his words and put Shi Qiao's phone into his pocket.

【Tolerate.】

He turned his head away, and it took him several breaths to extinguish the sparks that had been burning in his eyes.

But the murderous intent hidden within grew stronger and stronger.

"I'll get you a new one, baby."

"Go sit over there and wait for me for a while."

I'm going to kill this idiot.

Despite the faint smile on her lips, Shi Qiao felt a chill run down her spine.

It was even more terrifying than when Pei Jingnian used to give her the cold shoulder.

There's always a feeling that someone might actually die.

What if... Pei Jingnian really does something outrageous because of her?

What if Pei Jingnian's resume gets an unsavory mark?

Or worse, what if... what if he gets thrown in jail?

No, she didn't want Pei Jingnian to go to jail.

wrong.

Why would she be worried about this?

She shook her head. No matter what, she had to stop this farce first.

She was about to reach out and grab Pei Jingnian's sleeve when he deftly dodged and took a half-step back.

This short step, coupled with his indifferent gaze, made her hand, which was hanging in mid-air, feel extremely uncomfortable, and her chest felt heavy, preventing her from uttering a single extra word.

I don't know why, but my eyes feel sore and swollen.

Pei Jingnian quickly noticed her lowered head trembling slightly, and softened his voice, speaking softly in a volume only the two of them could hear:

"Baby, the lab coats are dirty, don't touch them, they're full of bacteria."

My wife is upset. She's upset because I avoided her hand.

My wife was clearly suffering, but I was secretly happy. I deserve to die.

Honey, honey, can this be considered proof that you care about me?

The scattered grievances suddenly subsided, replaced by a sense of shame.

Convex (fuck dish)

She actually felt wronged because Pei Jingnian took a half step back!

No, no, no!

She clenched her fists and lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.

"If you're so dirty, why did you even come out?"

"Alright, you should go back to the lab now."

Clutching her tennis bag, she muttered very quietly, "I'm going to take a shower, and I'll come find you at the entrance of the lab building when I'm done."

"Don't get me wrong, I just want my phone back."

"Remember to disinfect my phone too!"

Seeing that Pei Jingnian's little ancestor had spoken, Lu Zhou reached out and put his hand on Pei Jingnian's shoulder.

"Yes, sir. We're off."

"Alright, Lao Pei, come on, smile. A smile makes you ten years younger, right?"

"They're gone, they're gone."

Pei Jingnian was taken away by Lu Zhou just like that.

Shi Qiao's face turned even redder.

that's terrible.

"Thank you, Shi Qiao," Xia Heng's voice rang in my ears.

Shi Qiao quickly waved her hand and said a few polite words, "No, no."

"It's good that I didn't scare you. Pei Jingnian sometimes just seems a bit off."

"I'll be going now, you should go change your clothes too."

After saying that, she ran away.

Xia Heng couldn't help but smile as he stared at the girl's still burning ears.

It seems like there really is a chance.

*

Shi Qiao rode in Pei Jingnian's car home, and the whole journey was quite quiet.

Especially Shi Qiao.

She felt utterly ashamed of her performance on the court today.

Not only did he misinterpret Pei Jingnian's actions, but he also got caught red-handed.

Fortunately, Pei Jingnian couldn't read minds. If she knew that he was still foolishly worried about him going to jail, who knows what kind of smugness would have gotten her into.

While waiting for the elevator, Pei Jingnian glanced at Shi Qiao. She was looking dejected, her small face slightly puffed out in parentheses.

Just like a child.

His lip line became more pronounced with his smile.

So cute.

"Baby, you're wrong."

Shi Qiao turned her head, bewildered. "What did I do wrong?"

"I should have told you first that your white coat was dirty, and that I made you feel uncomfortable for half a minute. It's my fault."

Shi Qiao raised her voice guiltily, "Who's wronged!"

Pei Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of roguishness in his smile, "You're almost crying."

Ding, the elevator doors open.

"I didn't!" Shi Qiao stubbornly turned her head and rushed into the elevator. "I was just exhausted from playing sports, it's just normal to have tears, you know!"

Pei Jingnian's eyes narrowed slightly. "It's different."

"How is it different?"

The man swiped his card with two fingers, the elevator automatically pressed the top floor button, the door closed, and he turned slightly to the side, his approaching shadow completely squeezing her into the narrow corner of the elevator.

"Want to know, baby?"

Suddenly, a long arm wrapped around her small waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace.

Shi Qiao placed her hands in front of his chest, providing a mere, ineffective cushioning.

Her exquisite features were magnified, so close that she could see Pei Jingnian's individual eyelashes and her own disheveled reflection in the pool of ink.

"What is the sole criterion for testing truth?"

Shi Qiao blinked her eyelashes lightly, wondering what Pei Jingnian meant by suddenly saying something suggestive in such a romantic atmosphere.

"Practice...?"

As she finished speaking, her lips were captured by a warm kiss.

Pei Jingnian's hot fingers gently pinched the back of her neck, while his other hand forcefully supported her slumped waist.

His tongue pressed in, lingering and relentlessly stealing away the little oxygen she had left.

My toes were being lifted so lightly that they barely touched the ground, making it impossible to tell which way was north or south.

Ding, the elevator rang again.

Pei Jingnian reluctantly released her, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the pad of his thumb, and gently licking them.

"This is what physiological tears are."

At the same time, the door opened, and two figures flashed out.

"Surprise!"
