belly, making one want to touch it.Lu Ze raised his cup and took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee without making a sound: "First time seeing my play"Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.He c...Zhang Qi couldn't help but say, "Pei Xuedi, you misunderstood me." He reminded her, "Besides, Xiaoshū is my boyfriend now. Your attention to him seems a bit excessive."

Pei Sannan stared at him with her deep eyes, a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "Zhang Senior is the one who said so. After breaking up, can't we still be friends"

Zhang Qi frowned: "As far as I know, Pei should have been the one to propose the breakup first. Besides, you hurt Xiaoshū, I don't think you have the qualifications."

The young man set down his cutlery and said calmly, “It was my fault to hurt him. I just wanted to make amends for my mistake. Does Zhang the senior have to get involved too” He paused briefly, his tone remaining even, “After all, Ning Shu found a boyfriend, not a father.”

Even though Zhang Qi has a good temper, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "It seems you are my junior. Since you have already caused harm, don't bother Xiao Shu's life anymore. This is the best decision for him."

Pei Sinan said slowly, "Although Jin Zilin has already gone in." His eyes darkened slightly, and he continued in a cold voice, "But no one can guarantee that there won't be another Jin Zilin."

He stared at Ning Shu across from him and said, "I wouldn't joke about his life or safety. I hope you, Zhang senior, are the same."

Ning Shu didn't speak, but under the boy's gaze, she involuntarily lowered her eyelashes. After a while, she said, "Senior brother, I've already gathered the research materials. I'll send them to you later."

Zhang Qi hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

Ning Shu stood up and said, "You don't need to argue for me. Everyone is watching. I'm full, so I'm leaving first."

After the boy left.

Pei Sinan regained his usual aloof and arrogant look: "Zhang Qi, if there's another person like Jin Zilin by your side, I won't let you go."

The teenager's gaze held a sense of oppression and malice.

Zhang Qi's face darkened involuntarily: "You don't have to tell me. I know." They were both half a catty, eight taels each. Although he hadn't harmed Ning Shu, Ning Shu was almost in danger because of him.

Pei Sisuan stood up, looking down at him slightly and said, “I hope senior brother remembers his words. The one who should stay away from Ning Shu is you, not me.”

Even though Zhang Qi had good manners, under such an offensive barrage, he couldn't help but frown, feeling that the other party was not well-intentioned.

If it were in the past, according to Pei Sannan's temperament, whether overtly or covertly, his aggression and offensiveness would have been too sharp. But now, he has sheathed the sharpness on his body.

Like a hunter lurking in the shadows, he had everything under control, calmly observing the unfolding situation.

Such a person is really difficult to deal with.

Zhang Qijun's handsome face gradually lost its expression: "Xiao Shu isn't here, even Pei Xuedi isn't willing to pretend anymore"

"Don't call her Xiao Shu."

Pei Sannan's mixed blue eyes darkened, his voice carrying a faint warning. He then gracefully turned away, resuming the aloof appearance in the eyes of others.

....

Ning Shu was in the lab, and when he went out, Zhang Qi just happened to walk out too.

"Xiaoshu, are you free this evening" Zhang Qi asked.

Ning Shu didn't answer him immediately. He hesitated for a moment and said, "…Maybe there isn't enough time, Senior Brother. Can it be a few days later"

Although Zhang Qi was a little disappointed, he still kindly replied, "Is there anything I can help you with"

"No, senior brother," Ning Shu hurriedly said. "There are just some things that need to be handled, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Is it about Pei the younger brother" Zhang Qi asked after a while.

Ning Shu looked over in some astonishment.

Zhang Qi seeing the other person's expression, couldn't help but smile wryly: "I was just guessing." He said again: "So that night you didn't go because of him too"

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "His hand was injured because of me, I can't just ignore it."

Zhang Qi didn't speak. He looked at Ning Shu, wanting to ask, "Is that really so Has your heart never wavered"

But in the end, he still didn't say it. He was afraid that if he pierced this layer, he would hear something he didn't want to hear.

....

Ning Shu's pot broke, and he had seen on the forum before that a shop owner sold pots with good functionality.

Because the brand is niche and old-fashioned, it doesn't have a wide sales reach. He couldn't even find such a pot online, so he placed an order with the store and planned to pick it up this afternoon.

When he was leaving, he thought about it and still knocked on the door next door.

Pei Sinan quickly opened the door. He was tall, standing by the door, almost reaching the top.

At this moment, Pei Sannan had just changed his clothes and still smelled faintly of bath soap. It was the same scent as Ning Shu's.

He looked over, slightly turned his body, and asked: "What's up"

Ning Shu didn't know why, but felt a strange kind of awkwardness. He couldn't help but purse his lips and took something out of his hand, "I might be back late tonight. If you want to take a shower, remember to put this on for protection. I bought it online, so it won't get wet."

Pei Sisou glanced at it, took the thing with an unreadable expression on his face, and said, "Thank you."

After Ning Shu finished speaking, she left.

He still had one elective course to attend, and there was homework to be done. His schedule was packed, he didn't even have time to notice anything else, so he didn't see that Pei Sinan stared at him for a long time after he left.

She narrowed her eyes.

After Ning Shu went to school, he attended that elective class. As the students filed out of the classroom, he walked among them, talking on his phone with his boss about when he needed to pick up the goods.

"I heard that the school heartthrob, Pei, got hit by something and is in the infirmary now."

A voice rang out from the crowd.

Ning Shu received the stop, he quickly raised his head and looked over.

Several girls were still discussing: "Pei Xīao Cǎo's hand isn't healed yet, and he was bumped by someone afterwards. I heard he hit his hand and bled a lot. We don't know if he's okay."

Ning Shuxin's heart tightened slightly. He followed the crowd, almost getting separated from them.

So she quickly grabbed one of the girls who had been talking earlier: "Is Senior Pei's... hand injured"

The girl glanced at him, her expression one of surprise. She then looked at him with a hint of curiosity and said, “Yes, many people have seen it. The blood has soaked through the gauze.”

Ning Shu quickly said thank you, then walked towards the infirmary.

His boss sent him several messages on his phone, but he ignored them all. He didn't respond until he reached the infirmary door and pushed it open with his hand.

Pei Sinan sat in his seat, while the school nurse treated his wound next to him.

Ning Shuping slowed her breath: "...Doctor, how is his hand"

The school doctor took one look at him and said, “It’s split open. It was getting much better, now it’s a lot worse.”

Ning Shu didn't speak, just looked at Pei Sinan. The other party was also looking at him, his voice faint: "It's nothing serious." He withdrew his hand and replied, "You forgot that when I bit you, it wasn't just this blood that flowed out."

The school doctor paused for a moment, then her gaze shifted somewhat evasively between Ning Shu and Pei Sinan, thinking to herself that young people these days are quite the players.

Ning Shu's cheeks flushed, feeling a bit ashamed. Luckily, the school nurse didn't have a habit of listening to their private matters. After treating her wound, she left.

He was looking at Pei Sinan's hand, his phone vibrated a few times.

Pei Sannan looked at him.

Ning Shu didn't know why he suddenly felt a bit guilty, though he didn't know why he should feel guilty. He couldn't help but whisper, "Can you take a bath by yourself tonight"

Pei Sannan said indifferently, "It's fine if I get wet. I'm not an ordinary person."

Ning Shu pursed her lips, she looked at the message sent by the boss to her, and after hesitating for a moment. She still changed the time, then took a deep breath and said: "Remember to tell me when you go back."

Pei Sannan didn't speak, he reached out to take the water on the table.

Ning Shu, seeing this, went around. She bent down, wanting to pick up the water bottle, but Pei Sinan actually embraced her waist and pressed her onto the resting bed behind her.

"Will you go out with me"

Ning Shu was stunned, he struggled for a moment. But fearing he might hurt the other hand, he could only say stiffly, "Get up first, Senior Pei."

Pei Sisun lowered his head, a warm breath rolling down.

He grasped Ningshu with his uninjured hand. Then, he inserted each finger one by one, interlocking them tightly. He said in a low voice, "I remember now, ten years wasn't enough."

Pei Sannan paused, his mixed-blue eyes looking over, his voice deep: "Ten years is too short, I want your whole life, Ning Shu."

Ning Shu didn't speak, but her eyelashes fluttered incessantly.

He heard himself speak in a calm voice, “If you’re after my blood….”

“No.” Pei Sinan interrupted him, his face expressionless. “Even if you didn’t have blood to attract me, I would still date you.”

He lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "I will also stop at nothing to find a way to date you."

"Ningshu, isn't it that as long as I don't say 'I love you' "

"You just think I don't love you."

Vampires are born cold, they have no innate lovers nor unwavering love. But the moment Pei Sannan saw the boy, he claimed him as his own.

Just because he never says "I love Ning Shu" doesn't mean he doesn't love her.

He clearly had a soft spot for this person.

He is the only one who will do.

Vampires don't care about gender, and Pei Sannan doesn't find it lonely to only drink one person's blood for a lifetime.

Before he met Ning Shu, even without encountering blood that he desired, he wouldn't have died. But after meeting Ning Shu, he craved only one person's blood.

"I love you."

Pei Sinan lowered her head and kissed the boy's lips: "I love you."ushed red, and she nodded slightly, saying: "That's it, this young man came to our store, tried on shoes but didn't buy them and wanted to leave, he even tore off the price tag. Without the price tag,...
