Endless Fall

89 Determined to Confess

Pei Yilan looked at that pair of innocent eyes and did not think too much about it. “I’m curious too.”

“You can try it soon.”

“It’s hard to say.” She really had no confidence in securing a kiss with him. “Let me ask Qian Yue first.”

Lin Jiao did not stop her.

“Yilan, did you miss me?”

“Yes.” Pei Yilan replied quickly.

She turned up the volume and moved the chair to Lin Jiao’s side, asking bluntly, “What does it feel like to kiss?”

“You’re horny?”

“What do you say? I’ve been single for months. Jiaojiao wants to know what it feels like. Tell us about it.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

Before she could explain, Qian Yue said with laughter, “Jiaojiao, have you found a new lover?”

“No.”

“Then do you have a crush on someone?”

Lin Jiao hesitated for some reason. “No.”

The fact that Lin Jiao took a short pause made Qian Yue realize that there was definitely something unusual going on, but she did not ask further because she could not see her expression.

She replied, “Kissing feels like an electric shock. It makes your entire body numb and your legs go weak.”

“And then?”

“Then you wanted to do something special.”

Pei Yilan was inexplicably excited. “Will the feeling be the same no matter who we kiss?”

“No.” Qian Yue put down the pen in her hand. “You only feel this way when you kiss the person you like.”

“How many times have you had this feeling?”

“I can’t remember.”

Pei Yilan cried with envy. “Do you kiss your other half every day?”

“I’m single now.”

“You broke up again?”

“Isn’t it normal to break up?” Qian Yue heard someone knocking on the door and did not want to talk anymore.

She walked over. “I’ll talk to you when I get back. I have work to do now.”

“When’s your flight?”

“Twentieth.”

“Alright.” Pei Yilan hung up.

She talked to Lin Jiao in detail about the feeling of their legs going weak when kissing.

Lin Jiao blushed the more she heard it.

“I’m going back to rest.” She ended the topic first.

Pei Yilan yawned and nodded.

When she said goodbye to her at the elevator, she asked, “Jiaojiao, are we still having pork trotter soup tomorrow?”

“I don’t want to drink it anymore.”

“Then let’s eat outside?”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao walked to her desk.

She wrapped herself in an afternoon blanket and leaned against the pillow. Just as she set the alarm, a WeChat message popped up.

Pei Zhi: “Jiaojiao, I was discussing a project with my partner just now and forgot to bring my phone.”

Lin Jiao had expected this.

“It’s fine.” She rested her chin on the pillow and typed, “What do you plan to eat?”

“I don’t know yet.” Pei Zhi took two sips of water. “I’ll get Qu Shao to go downstairs and buy something.”

“Then don’t drink coffee. Rest after eating.”

“Are you taking an afternoon nap?”

“That’s right.” After receiving his reply, Lin Jiao sent another message. “I’ll tell you when I wake up. Cute cat.jpg.”

Pei Zhi wanted to laugh when he saw that emoji.

He leaned against the seat and looked at the chat history a few times. At this moment, his desire to confess to her became even stronger.

“Boss, meal is here.” Qu Shao came in with two bags and felt a chill run down his spine when Pei Zhi shot him a look.

He asked carefully, “Is there anything you want me to do?”

“Yes.” Pei Zhi pushed aside the plastic bag.

He couldn’t stop smiling. “I plan to confess this Saturday. Help me book a suitable venue first.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Qu Shao grinned. “I’ll go handle it immediately.” He took two steps before stopping. “Do you want roses? How many do you want?”

“Ninety-nine.”

“Isn’t that too few? In movies, when rich people confess, they always have an ocean of roses.”

“That’s in movies.” If he bought so many flowers, he would probably be taught a lesson by Lin Jiao for being unnecessarily extravagant.

Qu Shao asked again, “How many flowers per bouquet?”

“Ninety-nine.” Pei Zhi tore open the wrapper of the disposable chopsticks. “And prepare some candles and balloons.”

“Anything else?”

“That’s all for now.”

“Alright.” Qu Shao quickly went to do it.

Before he got off work, he booked the venue and asked, “Boss, who do you want to inform?”

“Zhou Yanshen and the others.”

“Including Miss Pei?”

“Of course.” Pei Zhi put on his jacket and went downstairs to meet his sweetheart.

Lin Jiao, who was five minutes slower than him, jogged from the elevator to the Mercedes.

She told him the good news immediately, “The proposal I submitted last month has been chosen.”

“Awesome.”

Pei Zhi rubbed the top of her head.

“Get in first.” He opened the passenger door, waited for her to get in before walking around to the driver’s seat. “Are you involved in the new project for next season?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll wait for your good news.”

Lin Jiao nodded confidently and leaned back.

She could easily reach out to fasten the seatbelt, but she got used to waiting for him to do it for her.

“Uncle, where are we eating tonight?”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Home-cooked food.”

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment. “Alright.” He helped her put on her seatbelt and stepped on the accelerator. “I’ll make it for you.”

Lin Jiao smiled sweetly.

She took out her phone and looked at the string of unfamiliar numbers. “Who is this?”

“Hello, my name is Yu Xuan.”

Yu Xuan didn’t want to appear too eager, so she waited for a couple of days before deciding to make this call.

She knew that Lin Jiao did not remember her, so she reminded her, “We met at Star River.”

Lin Jiao thought of that innocent assistant.

She did not know what Yu Xuan was up to, but she was still polite. “What do you want?”

“Nothing.”

Yu Xuan guessed that people like Lin Jiao did not like to beat around the bush and said directly, “I just want to be friends with you.”

“Because of Zhou Yanshen?”

“Part of it is because of him.”

Lin Jiao roughly understood.

Her tone changed slightly. “I’m sorry, but I won’t interfere in his relationship.”

“You’re mistaken.” Yu Xuan seemed to have a passionate crush on Zhou Yanshen. At the mention of his name, she was both happy and sad.

She sobbed. “I just want to spend more time with him. Even if he doesn’t choose me in the end, it’s worth it.”

Lin Jiao felt a headache coming on. “Don’t cry.”

“I’m sorry…” Yu Xuan cried even harder.” Can you help me? ”

“How can I help you?”

“Next time you come to Star River, can you invite me to eat with you? This is all I ask for.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Lin Jiao hung up after making up an excuse.

She took a deep breath. As she waited for the light to turn green, her frown was gently smoothed away by a hand.

“Don’t frown.” When Pei Zhi looked at her, his gaze was so gentle that it could wipe away all her frustration.

Lin Jiao felt a little better.

She asked, “Did you hear everything?”
