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

Bai Tao ordered takeout for lunch. She had just opened the takeout box and hadn't even fully opened the lid when her phone vibrated.

It was a video call from Pei Jin.

Bai Tao paused for a moment, a little nervous. She tidied her hair in front of her phone screen, tucking the stray hairs behind her ears. Then, feeling that her face was too big, she pulled down two strands.

Finally, she licked her lips and chose the angle she thought looked best.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Jin's face appeared on the screen, with the large glass window of his office in the background.

He smiled when he saw the call connect; he just wanted to see her.

"miss you."

Bai Tao felt a little embarrassed by the stares, her face flushed red, and her fingers, faster than her brain, turned off the camera.

Pei Jin was somewhat stunned.

"Why did you turn off the camera?"

"I don't want to show you anymore! I'm going to eat."

Pei Jin did not continue to make things difficult for her.

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? Send me the message, I'll go buy it after get off work."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Tao put down her phone and touched her cheek with the back of her hand; it was so hot.

In the afternoon, Bai Tao lay on the sofa, idly drawing a list.

Pei Jin came back very late. She wanted to pick him up from get off work, but the road was too far.

Pei Jin asked her to send him what she wanted to eat, and he would buy it after get off work, but she couldn't wait.

At 17:00 PM, she looked outside and saw that the sun wasn't so strong anymore, so she put on a mask and hat, wore sun-protective clothing, and went out with a parasol.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw He Fan.

He was carrying a bass guitar, wearing a hat and headphones, and looked like he was just about to leave.

"hello."

Bai Tao raised her hand in greeting. He Fan heard someone call his name, looked up, saw Bai Tao, and smiled.

Bai Tao then noticed that he was wearing a black diamond stud earring on his right ear, which was quite different from his usual well-behaved appearance and made him look a bit more roguish.

The two walked out of the building one after the other. As they passed He Fan's little electric scooter, Bai Tao casually asked,

Why aren't you riding your bike today?

"It's a bit far, I usually don't ride a bike to work."

Bai Tao nodded and followed him toward the entrance of the residential area.

"Where's your boyfriend? Why isn't he with you?"

Bai Tao smiled. She hadn't denied it when He Fan asked Pei Jin if he was her boyfriend, but now it really was.

"He's at work, and I was so bored at home that I came out to buy some groceries."

He Fan nodded, paused at the intersection, and pointed to the street across the street.

"Just walk straight ahead, there's a fresh food supermarket there. The vegetables are very good and fresh, you can go and have a look."

Bai Tao nodded, thanked him, and then the two parted ways.

They didn't notice someone at the intersection taking several photos of them with their phone.

When Pei Jin returned home, he saw Bai Tao standing in front of the sink as soon as he entered the door.

Her hair was styled into a low bun, with a few stray strands hanging down her neck.

She was wearing a light pink tank top and white athletic shorts, her legs were long, straight and white, dazzlingly white under the lights.

Pei Jin stood at the door for a moment, then lowered his head to change his shoes, sighing silently in his heart.

Oh no, I forgot to buy something.

He had originally planned to buy the groceries while he was out shopping tonight, but Bai Tao said she had already finished and he didn't need to make the trip again. He was in a hurry to get home, so he came straight back.

He walked behind Bai Tao, and one hand naturally wrapped around her waist, his palm pressed against the thin fabric of her waist.

With his other hand, he turned on the tap and helped her rinse the vegetable leaves and water droplets off her hands.

"Didn't I tell you not to do these things?"

His chin rested on her shoulder, his voice carrying a muffled, barely perceptible apology.

Bai Tao turned her head to look at him, her tone gentle and coaxing.

"It's just washing vegetables, nothing more. Besides, you came back too late~"

Pei Jin didn't let go, but instead lowered his head and kissed her wet fingers one by one, his gaze fixed on the sink.

Several crabs were crawling around in the pond, and clams were spitting out water in a stainless steel basin.

"Let's move, baby."

He was in a bad mood, but he blamed himself for it all.

Bai Tao has been so good to him, yet he can't help with this little thing.

Bai Tao nodded.

"I also think this place is too far from your workplace. I'll ask a real estate agent tomorrow if they have any suitable apartments."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, baby. I'll look for it too, and I'll go with you to see it later."

He lowered his head and placed a very light kiss on the top of her head.

After finishing their meal, Pei Jin and Chi Shibao had a video call on, with books spread out on their laps, occasionally glancing at each other across the table.

Bai Tao sat on the sofa, watching some variety show, clutching her stomach and laughing. Occasionally, she would laugh out loud, then quickly shut her mouth.

Chi Shibao looked at Pei Jin sitting opposite him on the screen with a book on his lap and clicked his tongue.

He glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m. back home. These two had just gotten together; didn't they have any nightlife?

He waited for a while, and seeing that Pei Jin still didn't look up, he clicked his tongue again.

Pei Jin finally looked up from his book and glanced at him indifferently.

"If only you could say 'tsk' as smoothly as you did today during your defense."

Chi Shibao had prepared a lot to say, but Pei Jin's words shut him up.

Bai Tao heard Pei Jin rebuking Chi Shibao and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh too loudly. She glanced at him sideways.

Why are you saying that about him?

As soon as Bai Tao finished speaking, Chi Shibao's voice came from the computer screen.

"Exactly, why are you saying that about me?"

Pei Jin was just wondering what reason to give, so he smiled, turned off the microphone and camera, stood up, walked to Bai Tao, and bent down.

Bai Tao stretched out a foot and stepped on his chest, trying to separate the two of them, but Pei Jin held that foot and gently kissed it, then held it in his hand and slowly caressed it.

He lowered his eyes and was about to kiss Bai Tao when Bai Tao pushed him away with her hand.

Bai Tao's eyes widened in fright.

"What are you doing!"

He just kissed her feet!

Pei Jin laughed so hard his chest was shaking.

"Baby, why are you still disgusted with yourself?"

How could he be such a pervert!

Bai Tao was stunned by Pei Jin's perverted behavior. Just as she was about to say something, Chi Shibao's ghostly scream came from the screen.

"Aa ...

"I can't see or hear anything anymore! Erkang, I'm blind, Erkang!!! Do you even remember me in Los Angeles?!"

Bai Tao smiled and withdrew her foot.

"Get to class! Stop fooling around!"

Pei Jin glanced at his empty hands and sat back down in his chair with some impatience.

Just one more day, just one more day until I can get rid of this annoying thing.

He turned the camera back on and noticed that Pei Jin's expression had turned sour.

?

Didn't you just turn off the camera to kiss?

Did they have a fight?

I was going to say something, but I was so scared that I hesitated for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.

"Brother Pei, I'm going back to China after my thesis defense. Can I come visit you?"
