Endless Fall

The mist on the frosted door condensed into droplets of water that slid down silently.

Jiang Ye, who couldn’t bear to torture her anymore, restrained himself and wrapped a towel around her before carrying her to sit on the sofa.

He changed the bedsheets and went to bed with her. As he turned off the lights, he asked in a hoarse voice, “Yilan, do you still want to drink water?”

!!

“No.” Pei Yilan was exhausted.

She lay in his arms and closed her eyes. The moment she fell asleep, she was still thinking that her feelings were not wrong.

However, when the first ray of sunlight shone down from the sky, a rabbit headwear was put on the top of her head..

The box Bai Ying gave her was placed on the edge of the bed.

Aluminum bags of different colors were picked up one by one by Jiang Ye.

“Jiang Ye…” Pei Yilan pushed his shoulder away, her almond-shaped eyes red.

She wrapped herself in the blanket and turned her back to him. She looked at the setting sun outside the window and pouted. “I don’t want to eat in the bedroom anymore.”

Her gentle tone made Jiang Ye’s heart soften.

He suppressed his desire and put the box away in the cabinet. “Shall I carry you to take a shower first?”

“No.” Pei Yilan did not want him to touch her again.

She kicked him with her foot. Her strength was soft as if she was playing with him. “I want to eat barbecue. Buy some ingredients online.”

They had an electric grill at home. Jiang Ye bought six or seven types of meat and vegetables on the App, as well as sauces.

He carried Pei Yilan to the bathroom to wash up. While she was soaking in the bathtub, he went to the kitchen to peel garlic.

The delivery man delivered the ingredients twenty minutes later. He washed what needed to be washed and placed it on the dining table to barbeque the pork belly first.

The fragrance of oil filled the air. Pei Yilan, whose stomach was rumbling, ran to him in a pair of slippers.

“Is it done?” She pulled out the chair and sat down. She was craving it.

Jiang Ye chuckled. “It’s done.” He dipped the pork belly in the sauce and gave it to her. “It’s very hot. Eat slowly.”

Pei Yilan dipped the meat in the sauce and took a bite. The taste filled her mouth.

She picked up a piece for Jiang Ye. “It’s so delicious!”

Seeing that she was like a hamster eating, Jiang Ye poked her puffed-up cheeks with his fingertips. The gentleness in his eyes seemed to overflow.

He ate the meat in one bite and barbequed a few slices of beef to satisfy her taste buds.

Towards the end, she didn’t want to eat meat anymore. He started barbequing potatoes. When the potato turned brown, he dipped it in chili powder.

The crispy texture coupled with the chili stimulated their appetite again. Only when they couldn’t eat anymore did they turn off the grill and put down their chopsticks.

“Yilan, walk around the living room for a while.” Jiang Ye cleared the dishes on the table. “Otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable.”

“Ok.” Pei Yilan tiptoed and kissed him.

She picked up her phone and walked back and forth in the living room. As she digested her food, she sent a message to her besties’ group.

Yilan, “Lin Jiao, you’re right! My feelings are completely wrong.”

Lin Jiao, “[As expected. Smirk.jpg”

Yilan, “I’m so tired! I ate breakfast and lunch in the bedroom and only came out in the evening.”

Yue, ” So how many did you use?”

Yilan, “Four in total. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t experience it myself.”

Ni Meow, “Are you alright?”

Yilan, “I’m alright, I just don’t have much strength left.”

Yilan, “@Yue, @Lin Jiao, how many did you use? I’m curious.”

Yue, “Six, two more than you.”

Lin Jiao, “I don’t remember.”

Yilan, “Is his stamina so high?”

Yue, “There is still room for improvement.”

Lin Jiao, “Awesome. Shock.jpg”

“Isn’t your husband not good enough?” Hearing a low voice, Lin Jiao’s hand trembled.

She met Pei Zhi’s dangerous eyes, turned off her phone, and hugged his neck.

“Good, very good. You’re better than anyone else.”

“Is that so?” He caressed her fair cheek, his slightly curved lips making people terrified.

Lin Jiao nodded like a chick pecking at grains.

She did not know how much Pei Zhi had seen and did not intend to ask further. Instead, she changed the topic. “Can you watch a movie with me?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Then what do you want to do?”

Pei Zhi threw away the paper ball in his palm and found an aluminum bag from the cabinet under the coffee table.

He unhurriedly tore it open. “What do you think?”

...

Before Lin Jiao could dodge, her ankle was grabbed and she could not move.

After the morning meeting on Monday, Wu Xiuwen called Lin Jiao to the office to talk about the promotion.

He held the glass and took two sips. “Lin, I’ve discussed it with Zheng Yi and decided to promote you to the supervisor of the planning department.”

Lin Jiao was not surprised.

She sat down opposite him. “Manager Wu, thank you for thinking highly of me, but I don’t plan to stay in the planning department anymore.”

“You’re resigning?”

“No, I want to transfer to the General Administration Department.”

Wu Xiuwen was well aware of her ambition and admired her ability, so he wouldn’t stop her. “When are you planning to be transferred?”

“Early April.” Lin Jiao calculated the time. There was only half a month left. “I’ll have to trouble you to sign it then.”

“It’s no trouble.” Wu Xiuwen smiled and asked for her opinion. “Do you have a recommendation for the position of supervisor?”

...

“How’s Aly?” Lin Jiao immediately thought of Aly. “She’s considered an old employee.”

“Sure.” Wu Xiuwen trusted her judgment.

He chatted with her about some business matters before asking her to call Aly in.

Lin Jiao walked to her desk and told Aly about it.

She dutifully completed her work for the week and only told Zhuo Yuan about the handover next week on Friday.

“I’m so envious.” When Zhuo Yuan heard the words ‘General Administration Department’, her eyes lit up. “The salary must be especially high.”

“You’re thinking too much.” Sun Haoran turned off the computer and packed up the things on the table. “The work they’re in charge of is different.”

Lin Jiao bid them goodbye before taking the elevator downstairs.

She got into Pei Zhi’s car and leaned closer to him, kissing him on the lips.

“What do you want for dinner?” Pei Zhi held the back of her head and gently rubbed her red lips.

“There’s another fish in the fridge. Let’s go to the market and buy some pickled vegetables to cook at home.”

“Sure.” He fastened her seatbelt for her. As he started the car, he asked, “Are you going to the engagement party tomorrow?”

Lin Jiao nodded. “Yes.” She adjusted the height of the seat. “Do you want to come with me?”

“Forget it. The Song family is too snobbish.” If he appeared at the banquet, he would definitely be approached by those people.

He found it troublesome and felt that they were not worthy of even talking to him.
