After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

As soon as Pei Jin entered the door, he saw Bai Tao smiling like a little fox.

Her eyes crinkled with laughter as she leaned against the back of the sofa, her chin resting on her arm. When he came in, she excitedly sat up, her eyes shining.

"How is it!"

Pei Jin shook his head.

"It's alright so far. However, they are purely focused on IT technology, which is quite different from my field."

He didn't say anything more; he figured Bai Tao wouldn't understand anyway.

He Yilong's team has indeed done a very solid job, with a good technical foundation and a promising direction, but it is not quite the same as his professional field.

However, if he plans to start his own business in the future, he might try to recruit He Yilong's team.

But it's too early to talk about these things now. He's short of money, and money is the primary source of productivity he needs right now.

"All right."

Bai Tao's voice sounded a little down; she had thought He Yilong was the benefactor who would help Pei Jin make a comeback.

She knew life wouldn't be so smooth. Her shoulders slumped, as if all her strength had been drained, and she curled back into the sofa, resting her chin on the cushion.

Pei Jin paused for a moment as he took off his clothes.

She sounded a little disappointed.

Pei Jin withdrew his gaze and looked at his back in the mirror.

He took out the ointment and called out towards the toilet door.

"Bai Tao, could you help me apply the medicine today?"

Bai Tao, who was still feeling sleepy, immediately got up from the sofa.

"Here you are!"

Actually, Pei Jin hadn't originally planned to apply the medicine again, because he was afraid Bai Tao would be sleepy too late.

But Bai Tao sounded unhappy just now; she had gone through all that today.

Remembering how excited Bai Tao was when she helped me apply the ointment last night.

Pei Jin picked up the ointment he had put down again, deciding to sell his body for a moment.

When Bai Tao ran over from the sofa, she stood for a moment at the bathroom door.

Pei Jin had already taken off his shirt, his back to her, his hands resting on the sink, the lines of his back clearly and neatly defined under the fluorescent light.

She had seen his back several times, and each time she thought she wouldn't feel anything special anymore, but every time she saw it, she would still take a deep breath.

Bai Tao's fingertips gently and slowly traced his back.

The ointment melted in her palm, warm with a minty coolness.

Her movements were slow and light, like a feather gently landing on him, as if she was deliberately delaying something.

Pei Jin leaned against the sink, his fingertips gripping the edge of the white ceramic, the veins on the back of his hand bulging slightly.

He bit down hard on the soft flesh inside his mouth, his teeth sinking into the muscles of his cheek.

A slight pain spread from the inside of my mouth.

Finally, he couldn't resist and closed his eyes briefly.

"White peach."

Pei Jin's voice was squeezed out from his throat.

"Should you apply the medicine like this?"

Bai Tao bit her lip hard to stop herself from laughing out loud.

She stood behind Pei Jin and saw his fingers gripping the sink so tightly that his fingertips turned white.

She didn't know if Pei Jin would have any feelings about it, but she was doing it on purpose.

Who told him to act so ambiguously that night, making her heart flutter, while he himself looked so respectable, like a virtuous gentleman with a stable moral compass.

Bai Tao used a high-pitched, deliberately affected tone in her voice.

"Oh, isn't that how it is? But you haven't applied it here yet..."

After she finished speaking, her fingers gently traced along the spine of his back.

Pei Jin almost lost his footing.

His body swayed slightly, and before Bai Tao could react, he turned around and grabbed Bai Tao's wrist.

The movement was quick but not forceful, just enough to hold her hand still and prevent her from causing further trouble.

When he turned around, the two of them were already very close.

He bent down, moved closer to her, lowered his head, and breathed into her ear.

He still held her hand, which had been causing trouble, in the air.

Bai Tao had always secretly admired Pei Jin's six-pack abs in the mirror.

This was the first time she had seen him face to face, so close that she could see the veins beneath his skin.

The muscles appeared firm and clear under the fluorescent lights, with proportions so perfect they looked like they had been drawn.

Bai Tao swallowed hard.

His lips were slightly parted, and his mind was completely blank.

Pei Jin was amused by her.

Just as he was about to say something, Bai Tao felt a warm flow in her nasal cavity.

A drop of blood slid down her skin and seeped into the corner of her mouth.

She instinctively licked it, and when her tongue touched the warm drop, she paused for a moment.

"What?"

Bai Tao's voice carried a bewildered tone, as if she hadn't quite grasped the situation, before a metallic taste of blood spread from her mouth.

Pei Jin's expression immediately changed.

He turned and reached for the tissue box on the sink. "Look up quickly."

His voice carried a forced calmness.

He scooped up a handful of cool water and gently patted it onto her forehead.

Bai Tao tilted her head back, looking at the ceiling, and a cool tissue was stuffed into her nose.

In the chaos, her hand touched Pei Jin several times, her palm brushing against the edge of his abdominal muscles, her fingertips tracing the skin on his waist.

Bai Tao thought Pei Jin hadn't noticed, so she groped around haphazardly while looking up.

It's a pity, you can only touch it but not look at it.

Pei Jin neither dodged nor spoke.

He simply continued to splash cold water on her forehead, seemingly completely unaware of the hand still resting on his waist.

His ears were just redder than before.

By the time Bai Tao's nosebleed stopped, the ground was a complete mess.

Pei Jin straightened up, wiped the water off his hands with a towel, and gently patted Bai Tao's back, indicating that she could go out first.

Bai Tao only began to feel embarrassed belatedly the moment she was pushed out of the restroom.

How could she be so shameful?!

That was also my reaction that night.

Bai Tao slumped heavily onto the sofa.

No!

She must win this battle back; she can't afford to lose face like this!

What kind of situation hasn't Bai Tao seen?

When Pei Jin came out, Bai Tao was already asleep.

One of her arms dangled off the sofa, her fingertips hovering above the ground.

She was lying on her side with her legs curled up, her lips slightly parted, and her breathing was light and steady.

He walked over, squatted down, and gently placed her arm on the sofa. Her fingers moved slightly in his palm.

Then he helped her pull the blanket up to cover her exposed shoulder.

After he finished doing all that, he squatted down next to the sofa and looked at her, her eyelashes casting a small fan-shaped shadow under her eyes.

This idiot who only cares about causing trouble and doesn't consider her own safety at all, I'll settle the score with her later.

When Pei Jin opened his eyes, he subconsciously picked up his phone and saw that it was only seven o'clock.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness it wasn't too late, I was terrified.

I got up quietly, pulled a clean short-sleeved shirt out of the closet, put it on, and went out.

Around 7 a.m., the vegetable market at the entrance of the residential area was just starting to get lively.

He squatted down in front of a corn stall, picked out a few ears of corn, and then bought some vegetables from a nearby stall. As he was walking back with the plastic bag in his hand, his phone rang.

When he answered the call, he instinctively thought it was Bai Tao.

But what he heard was a man's voice.

"Hello, is this Teacher Pei?"

Teacher Pei.

This title made Pei Jin frown.

"I am Pei Jin."

"Hello, Teacher Pei, I am Lao Chi's friend."

He asked me to bring you a notebook. Is now a convenient time for you?

Pei Jin stood at the entrance of the market carrying groceries, not expecting Chi Shibo to arrive so quickly.

"Okay. Wait for me at the supermarket entrance, I'll be right there."

Pei Jin spotted a red Ferrari parked in front of the supermarket from afar.

The car was parked conspicuously on the sidewalk. A red-haired man leaned against the door, his hands in his pockets, his legs crossed, striking what he thought was a very cool pose.

He paused for a moment when he saw Pei Jin walking over, his gaze sweeping over Pei Jin's face and then taking a look at the bag of groceries he was carrying.

"Teacher Pei?"

Red Hair asked tentatively.

Pei Jin nodded. "It's me."

Red Hair stuck his head through the car window, took a black laptop bag from the passenger seat, and handed it over.

"This is the computer that Brother Bo asked me to deliver to you. He said you needed it urgently, so I brought it to you overnight."

"OK, thanks."

The goods were delivered, and Red Hair said goodbye and left.

Inside the car, Red Hair rubbed his hair impatiently while turning the steering wheel, muttering a curse to himself.

He thought he was a knowledgeable old man!

He hasn't woken up in the morning since he was an adult, and now he stayed up all night to deliver a computer.

Just as Pei Jin closed the door, Bai Tao opened her eyes.

She lay on the sofa, her eyes still somewhat unfocused.

She saw Pei Jin standing at the door, carrying groceries in one hand and a black laptop bag in the other.

Then, without saying anything, she silently covered her head with the blanket, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Pei Jin stood at the door for a while, then smiled and placed his laptop bag next to the coffee table.

He took four ears of corn and two eggs out of the plastic bag and put them into the pot.

Turning around, I saw a fair hand slowly emerge from under the blanket, explore for a moment, touch the phone on the coffee table, and then retreat back under the blanket.

She opened her phone, first glancing at the time, then at her WeChat messages.

Unexpectedly, there was news about Bai Shen inside.
