Chapter 2104: Money and Love
Chapter 2104: Money and Love
The raindrops outside were hitting the car window.
Pei Su looked at Shi Li in surprise.
After a pause of a few seconds, his voice was tentative and uncertain, "Should I... pledge my love to you?"
Unlike Ji Xiaoyou's previous joking, he spoke very seriously.
Shi Li almost lost control of the accelerator, and finally managed to calm down. She smiled helplessly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I just want to be a good person and help others. Isn't that okay?"
"Oh, oh... I'm sorry." Pei Su seemed to suddenly realize something and slowly lowered his eyes.
The disappointment in his expression was concealed carefully, but it was impossible not to see it if you paid a little attention.
Shi Li saw it, but was not sure whether she had seen it wrong.
The comments from the same perspective as her started screaming first.
【Ahhh! He likes you, anchor! 】
[Agree, agree, to him! Don’t force me to kneel down and beg you!!!]
[Anchor, what are you hesitating about? Why are you being so arrogant? If you don't agree, let me take over! ]
Shi Li: ...
"Can't you be a little more reserved? Don't you think this is taking advantage of someone? And... and..."
For the last "and", Shi Li wanted to say that she didn't like Pei Su either, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't have the confidence to say them.
At first, she always met Pei Su, and she thought it might be deliberate. But later, she found that he was very stable and avoided suspicion, so she slowly let down her guard.
Today, when she heard that Pei Su was in danger, her anxiety was not fake. But asking Pei Su to marry her, wasn't that taking advantage of someone's misfortune?
Pei Su was grateful to her, so she couldn't take advantage of his gratitude...
The atmosphere in the car became a little awkward. Pei Su stopped talking and turned his head slightly to look out the window on the other side.
He was still running a fever, and his face reflected in the car window was an unhealthy red, and his eyes were dull.
It’s hard not to feel sad after watching it.
Shi Li didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend to drive attentively. She drove through the heavy rain and finally arrived home.
There is more than one guest room in her large bungalow.
After arriving home, Shi Li asked Pei Su to sit on the sofa while she busied herself looking for a towel and water, urging him to take the antipyretic medicine quickly and then put a cooling patch on his forehead.
Pei Su was a little reserved. He opened the bottle of mineral water and swallowed two antipyretic pills, but forgot the antipyretic patch on the coffee table. Then he stood up and walked towards the guest room that Shi Li had arranged for him.
"Wait a moment." Shi Li saw the untouched fever-reducing patches, tore one off without thinking, and chased after him.
Pei Su's hand was on the door handle of the guest room. He turned around when he was called, looking confused.
Shi Li put the fever-reducing patch on his forehead with a snap, and carefully pulled at the uneven spot.
She was too close to him, and Pei Su forgot to breathe. He stared at her blankly, his eyes following her movements, and his cheeks became even redder than before.
"You forgot to use the fever-reducing patch." Shi Li was caught in his gaze and forgot to step back, so she explained subconsciously.
But in his eyes were Pei Su's eyes.
It was very beautiful and bright, like a deep night sky, with no moon or stars, only her.
There was no action or words at this moment, but it was ambiguous to the extreme.
Perhaps Pei Su was not only grateful to her, but also simply liked her.
Looks can't deceive.
Shi Li was at a loss, but Pei Su suddenly withdrew his gaze, turned around, opened the bedroom door, went in, and slipped out from the crack of the door with difficulty, saying "thank you".
It was different from Pei Su's usual voice, and seemed a little hoarse. Maybe it was because of... the fever?
Shi Li blinked, then reached out and touched her face.
It seems a bit hot too.
Could it be that she will also catch a cold because of the rain?
Turning around, she saw a few fever-reducing patches left on the coffee table. Shi Li hesitated as to whether she should also put one on...
——Boss, it’s ten o’clock!
——Boss, when will you be back?
——Boss, we'll lock the door first~
Pei Su sat on the edge of the bed, turned on his mobile phone which had been muted early on, and saw a long string of WeChat messages from his deputy.
He replied calmly: I'm not going back today, lock the door.
The deputy was still waiting for him in the lab.
I was stunned when I saw this WeChat message.
He has been following Pei Su for several years and knows that Pei Su has a strange personality. When his experiment encounters a bottleneck, he likes to go out and play role-playing games.
Although it is ridiculous, I can really use this method to break through the bottleneck every time, and it becomes commonplace.
But this time it was strange. The bottleneck of the experiment had been broken, but the boss had not yet finished the role-playing and even stayed out all night for no reason...
