Chapter 504: Chapter 502 I’m scared
Letting Xia Wenyan face danger was the last thing he wanted to see.
He struggled to stabilize his emotions, but when he saw Xia Wenyan appear at the door, his heart couldn’t help but pound uncontrollably.
Pei Huai could only pretend to be calm as he looked at the bodyguard standing beside him and ordered, "You guys go out first, I have something to discuss with him."
After saying that, Pei Huai pretended to be indifferent and turned to walk into the room.
"Bang!"
After the door closed, Xia Wenyan just blankly stared at Pei Huai’s back.
His complexion seemed somewhat unwell, and he looked much thinner than before, it seemed he hadn’t fared well abroad.
But was he... being too cold toward him?
Xia Wenyan couldn’t help but frown, and his mood plummeted to the lowest point.
Sure enough, since Brother Pei had come to Country R, he didn’t like him anymore.
He had previously said something about waiting for him to return, huh!
What a liar!
Annoyed, Xia Wenyan pursed his lips; if he would ignore him, then he wouldn’t initiate any interaction either!
Resigned, he followed behind Pei Huai, pretending to be nonchalant, just waiting for the moment Pei Huai turned around so he could show him an "I don’t love anyone" attitude.
But just as he reached the bedroom partition, Pei Huai suddenly turned around and hugged him tightly.
Xia Wenyan was caught off guard, stunned for three seconds.
He opened his mouth, only to hear Pei Huai’s muffled voice, "Yanyan, I’m so tired..."
"..."
Xia Wenyan felt his heart soften instantly.
The person who had just vowed to give Pei Huai a hard time had all his anger dissipate instantly.
His intact hand patted Pei Huai’s back, "You still remember me, I thought you had completely forgotten about me, relegating me beyond the highest clouds. Even when I came to look for you, I was left waiting outside for a long time. I thought given our relationship, I would be brought up as soon as I reached downstairs. But I didn’t expect you to put on such airs, huh!"
Although Xia Wenyan said this, he still gently hugged Pei Huai.
He could feel that he was very tired; after all, he was quite clear about how Pei Huai used to be when they were together.
Pei Huai nuzzled his head into Xia Wenyan’s neck, then turned his head to explain, "It was supposed to be like that, but the situation in Country R is unstable. You got implicated back home because of your relationship with me; I couldn’t let them realize I had special treatment for you."
He gently pinched Xia Wenyan’s cheek and smiled bitterly, "Yanyan, I’m scared."
Ever since he learned that Xia Wenyan had an accident back home, he had been scared.
When he previously reorganized the Rimu Family, he was quite reckless.
He felt that he understood the Rimu Family very well from his two lifetimes, so he never considered the word "danger."
But it wasn’t until the people of the Rimu Family and Feng Ya Family conspired against him with drugs, and even Xia Wenyan back home was affected, that he realized not everything was under his control.
He wasn’t afraid of these changes, but he feared the butterfly effect these changes could bring might hurt Xia Wenyan.
He had already lost Xia Wenyan once in his past life; this time, he dared not gamble at all.
Xia Wenyan’s heart trembled at the words he had just spoken, and he looked at Pei Huai with a moment of bewilderment.
It wasn’t the first time he had felt Pei Huai’s care, but for some reason, a strange feeling was spreading within him.
Especially when he saw Pei Huai leaning against his neck, that strange feeling became even more apparent.
He didn’t want to upset Pei Huai, and even wanted... to please him with some actions.
Although Xia Wenyan’s experience was not extensive, this strange feeling made him vaguely realize something was wrong.
His ears turned red, as if he had realized something, and his whole body became stiff in an instant.
Pei Huai, who had been holding him all along, could not possibly fail to notice Xia Wenyan’s reaction.
He slowly released the person in his arms, looked at Xia Wenyan with some concern, and asked, "What’s wrong? Did I hurt your wound?"
Xia Wenyan, hearing his voice, was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No, it’s probably just because I’ve been sitting on the plane for too long on the way here, feeling a bit unwell."
In fact, that was just an excuse from Xia Wenyan, as they had already arrived in the country and he had rested in the hotel for a whole day; there was no issue of sitting too long and feeling uncomfortable.
But Pei Huai didn’t know that.
Upon hearing this, he naturally believed him.
"Come and rest for a while." He said, grabbing Xia Wenyan’s wrist and pulling him to the bed, "Lie down here, and I’ll have someone prepare whatever you want to eat."
Xia Wenyan glanced at the neat and clean bedspread, his face blushed again, "I think I..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Huai pulled him over with one hand and lay down beside him on the bed.
Xia Wenyan almost instinctively struggled, only to hear Pei Huai’s faint and gentle voice rise, "Yanyan, be good, I’ll rest with you too."
He really hadn’t rested well these past few days, especially after learning that Xia Wenyan had had an accident back home; he dreamed every night about receiving the news of Xia Wenyan’s death in his previous life.
Thus, these days he had stayed up as late as he could every night, hardly getting any proper rest.
Although Xia Wenyan did not know about Pei Huai’s situation, seeing the dark circles under his eyes up close, the originally struggling Xia Wenyan instantly calmed down.
He carefully thought about his previous interactions with Pei Huai, and it seemed... there was nothing much.
But just now, when he realized that his feelings for Pei Huai might not just be brotherly, he started to panic.
Brother Pei, although part of the group that didn’t want to marry, was just because he hadn’t met a girl he liked.
But him... in this situation, he probably wouldn’t meet a girl he liked anymore.
Xia Wenyan looked at Pei Huai, conflicted, and suddenly wondered if continuing to cling to Pei Huai like this would affect his chances of finding someone else in the future?
Thinking of the words "someone else," Xia Wenyan’s chest felt tight.
He remembered that when he had heard about Pei Huai going on a blind date in the country, he had felt this way too; he had thought it was because Pei Huai had promised to stay single with him but then tried to find a partner first, making him angry.
But now that he thought about it, it seemed... that wasn’t really the case.
He seemed to be jealous.
No, he was jealous.
He even felt a bit angry at Pei Huai.
Xia Wenyan turned his head to look at Pei Huai and, without thinking, lightly traced his fingers over his eyes and eyebrows, "Brother Pei, will you continue to go on blind dates in the future?"
Pei Huai, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them and frowned slightly, responding with a question instead of an answer, "Do you want me to go on blind dates?"
