CEFYMA: Chapter 104

Pei Huaiji’s kiss was as strong as he was. There was a cold aura and a deep kiss that seemed determined to pry open You Mian’s lips.

You Mian was pressed against the wall. He squinted as he looked at Pei Huaiji, whose outline wasn’t clear in front of him.

Pei Huaiji’s hands were very strong, pressing on You Mian’s lower back to hold him tightly.

You Mian couldn’t help raising his head. He didn’t expect that this posture would make Pei Huaiji’s attack smoother.

The other person’s kissing skills quickly became proficient, and You Mian couldn’t resist.

Pei Huaiji wiped away the water stains on You Mian’s chin with his thumb.

The man’s voice was so hoarse that it made You Mian’s spine tingle.

Pei Huaiji said, “I kissed you before I even hugged you.”

You Mian leaned back against the wall and looked up. His rosy lips and watery eyes made the young man look lazy and intoxicated like no one had seen before.

Pei Huaiji’s breath enveloped him again. This time, there was no kiss, just a tight hug.

You Mian rested his chin on Pei Huaiji’s left shoulder and his whole body was completely enveloped in Pei Huaiji’s arms. This was a very safe posture, as if Pei Huaiji used his broad shoulders to withstand all the wind and snow.

You Mian felt the warmth of Pei Huaiji’s arms and thought that this was indeed the case.

Their chests were pressed together, and their hearts connected.

After more than ten seconds, their heartbeats had become completely consistent, beating at the same rate and feeling the same surging emotions.

“Mianmian.”

You Mian’s eyes trembled slightly.

Pei Huaiji called out again, “Mianmian.”

An obvious smile appeared on Pei Huaiji’s lips. The strong sense of uneasiness that had been plundering just now gradually disappeared due to this hug. He started to let the electric sparks crackle in his nerve endings at this moment.

All the sensory emotions that had become blurred by the intense joy gradually returned. Under the cold night wind, Pei Huaiji finally regained some rationality.

Pei Huaiji let go of You Mian and watched with very gentle eyes as the dark night fell on You Mian’s forehead, the bridge of his nose, and the side of his face.

The young man’s eyes were as bright as ever. His chestnut brown curls were slightly messy and full of laziness. This made Pei Huaiji’s heart hot.

“I like you.”

Pei Huaiji closed his eyes lightly. Once he opened them again, his eyes were calm and serious. His eyelashes fluttered nervously, and his voice was very hoarse. “I like you very much.”

You Mian’s amber eyes trembled violently. It turned out that even though they knew each other, he still couldn’t control his surging emotions when he heard such a confession.

You Mian looked up and smiled. His voice was even hoarser than Pei Huaiji’s as he asked, “How expensive is your suit?”

Pei Huaiji was stunned before saying, “It isn’t expensive.”

Before the man finished speaking, You Mian raised his hand, grabbed his collar, and pulled him down.

This time, the kiss was no longer a gentle peck like a puppy.

Who said that the only person who could learn was Pei Huaiji?

You Mian used his teeth to bite the thin lips that were close to him. A slight pain accompanied by shock, joy, and helplessness filled Pei Huaiji’s chest.

After the instinctively driven closeness just now, Pei Huaiji was calm at the moment while his heart was filled with heavy emotions.

Every kiss was filled with great care.

Pei Huaiji’s kiss fell on the tip of You Mian’s nose before jumping to his eyes as dusk fell.

“You like me too,” Pei Huaiji stated.

You Mian leaned his forehead on Pei Huaiji’s shoulder. “Yes, I like you too.”

“When did you start liking me?” Pei Huaiji asked.

You Mian met Pei Huaiji’s dark and deep eyes. In the face of this question, You Mian was rarely a bit stunned.

Yes, when did he start liking Pei Huaiji?

You Mian held Pei Huaiji’s hand. The two of them clasped their fingers together.

The winter night wind caused the tip of You Mian’s nose and his earlobes to turn red. The young man smiled with eyes curved in a very beautiful arc.

“I don’t know.” You Mian smiled like a cat stealing some fish, or like a slippery fish.

“Maybe it is because the red wine you gave me just happened to suit my taste or maybe it was when we were at the aquarium… After all, the fish was really cute. Or maybe every time I see you, I like you a bit more.”

Pei Huaiji’s throat tightened. He trembled at You Mian’s frank expression of liking at this moment.

“I am the first person to receive a sculpture with your name engraved on it, right?” Pei Huaiji asked.

You Mian looked up in a serious manner. “Yes.”

“I’m also the first one you want to rely on.”

You Mian smiled casually. “Yes.”

Pei Huaiji recalled the return trip a long time ago. The street lights flickered on You Mian’s profile. The young man was in a very low mood at the moment, staring out the window with the documentary playing on his earphones in a very loud volume.

Pei Huaiji whispered. “I am also the first person who made you willing to cry in front of me.”

You Mian seemed to recall the same memory as Pei Huaiji. The iron sculpture of the street lights appeared in his mind.

Looking back, he found that the boat had passed through thousands of mountains.

You Mian was confident and let Pei Huaiji’s fingers stroke the corners of his eyes. “Yes.”

There were some things that didn’t need to be asked too much. They already had a mutual understanding at this moment.

Pei Huaiji took You Mian’s hand and walked out of this dark and quiet place. The lights in front of the apartment were brightly lit.

Their vision gradually became clear. You Mian found that Pei Huaiji’s collar was messed up by his previous action.

There was an obvious smile in the young man’s eyes, which made Pei Huaiji smile as well.

You Mian shrugged and asked, “See you tomorrow?”

Matching Heartbeat was extremely popular and had become a variety show watched by almost everyone. It wasn’t difficult to guess how grand the live stream would be. There would be countless spotlights shining on all their heads, exposing every move of all of them under the camera.

You Mian started to rejoice in the kiss tonight that no one knew about except for them.

Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes, and the young man pursed his lips.

You Mian blinked. Suddenly, he saw Pei Huaiji looking away with some hesitation.

This expression was rare. Just as You Mian was feeling puzzled, he heard Pei Huaiji say in a low voice, “Actually, there is one more thing.”

It was something that was interrupted by tonight’s kiss.

Pei Huaiji took out a document from the car, turned around, and walked closer.

“It is about Ba Quan and Sheng Jiangang.” Pei Huaiji flipped through the file and said softly, “It is quite thick.”

You Mian smiled and raised his eyebrow in a casual manner. “Then I can only invite Chairman Pei to come in and talk?”

Pei Huaiji pursed his thin lips. “Excuse me.”

You Mian smiled brightly.

Pei Huaiji’s collar was still messed up by You Mian. He didn’t tidy it up and just walked into You Mian’s apartment.

You Mian’s room was pretty clean. There was a vase of lilies on the coffee table in front of the sofa. The bright decorations were warm and quiet.

Through the balcony glass, Pei Huaiji saw a small plastic table placed there.

You Mian poured Pei Huaiji a glass of water and said with a smile, “Sit down.”

Pei Huaiji was tall and long-legged. He sat on the sofa with long legs extending beyond the table.

The man took off his suit jacket, leaving only the brown-striped shirt. The late-night lights made his handsome eyes dim slightly. His facial features became even more handsome in the shadows.

You Mian sat beside him and flipped through the information handed over by Pei Huaiji.

Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was full of ambiguity.

Pei Huaiji picked up the water that You Mian placed in front of him and took a sip. The clear water rolled down his throat, and his hot mood finally calmed down a bit.

Pei Huaiji tried hard to focus on the documents in You Mian’s hand rather than You Mian himself.

He watched You Mian turn the pages one by one, explaining in a low voice, “Sheng Jiangang had no children or wife. He jumped 17 years ago and lost everything.

“But this Ba Quan has a divorced wife and a son.”

Pei Huaiji’s voice was deep. You Mian’s wandering emotions gradually became absorbed by the information in front of him during the serious explanation.

“Hasn’t his son been missing for a long time?” You Mian wondered.

“Yes,” Pei Huaiji said. “But I found his wife and asked her about some old stories.”

Ba Quan’s wife was a very active woman. She was straightforward and outgoing.

She answered the questions of the people who came to the door.

“Ba Quan and Sheng Jiangang cooperated with You Jiyuan to set up a garment factory. The profits were good in the first two years. Then after a period of time, the returns showed a clear downward trend.”

“You Jiyuan proposed to set up a branch factory but was unwilling to take any workers with him. Hundreds of workers were facing unemployment.”

You Mian looked up. “This garment factory is the predecessor of Xiuming.”

Pei Huaiji nodded. “Yes, they broke down, and the two groups had a big argument. It happened at Ba Quan’s house, so his wife knew about it very well.”

“Later, Sheng Jiangang and Ba Quan took the initiative to propose going south to introduce funds from outside the city. It wasn’t known what arrangement the three of them reached, but the factory was temporarily handed over to You Jiyuan, who was in charge of it for three months.”

“During that period of time, Ba Quan’s wife was driven out of the factory by You Jiyuan’s men, along with thousands of other workers.”

You Mian’s heart sank, and he heard Pei Huaiji say, “You Jiyuan ran away with the equipment and the backbone of the garment factory.”

“What about the workers?”

Pei Huaiji said, “They couldn’t chase You Jiyuan, who had already left his hometown. They could only wait in town until Ba Quan and Sheng Jiangang came back to ask them for an explanation.”

“Ba Quan’s wife also divorced Ba Quan at this time.”

You Mian could already guess the workers’ agitated expressions as they blocked Ba Quan and Sheng Jiangang.

“So how did they solve it in the end?” You Mian asked softly.

Pei Huaiji glanced at him in the light, his eyes heavy and deep.

“Sheng Jiangang jumped off a building that was under construction at the time.”

You Mian flipped through the documents in his hand and saw the words ‘slipped and fell from a building.’

“Ba Quan’s wife said that Sheng Jiangang chatted with Ba Quan all night before he jumped. Later, Sheng Jiangang was found to have fallen from the building due to an accident, and the real estate company paid several million in compensation.”

It was enough to pay the wages owed to the workers and the money for renting equipment in the factory.”

You Mian’s fingers gently rubbed a few sentences on the paper. He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Ba Quan was imprisoned for five years for intentional injury. When he was released, he immediately went to find You Jiyuan…” You Mian thought for a while before saying, “He wanted money and an explanation.”

Pei Huaiji nodded. “It is natural that some people are jealous of the millions in compensation. Some of the workers who were very noisy asked for a lot of money, thinking they could get more money by hanging banners and making a scene. Ba Quan hit someone and blinded them. He ended up imprisoned for five years.”

“You Jiyuan did too many bad things, so he sent the newborn Bai Lin abroad and let you replace the identity of the You family’s biological son,” Pei Huaiji’s voice was very light when he said this.

“There are too many people who hate You Jiyuan.” You Mian blinked. “Maybe You Jiyuan himself doesn’t know how many enemies he has made, so he is worried.”

Ba Quan died nine years ago in the unfinished building where Sheng Jiangang had jumped from.

“Could the person who kidnapped me so many times be Ba Quan’s son?” You Mian closed the information and sighed.

Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes and said, “It is possible.”

You Mian’s eyelashes lowered as he thought that the key clue now lay in Ba Quan’s son. If he could find this person, the truth about You Jiyuan’s child-swapping might be completely revealed.

He could also expose this vicious and selfish villain who caused other people’s families to be broken up and their wives and children to be separated, making him get the punishment he deserved.

This time, Pei Huaiji didn’t stand by silently as he did before. Instead, he raised his hand and gently rubbed You Mian’s hair.

The young man looked over. Pei Huaiji smoothed his furrowed brow with his big hands and said in a deep voice, “Don’t frown.”

Pei Huaiji now had the qualifications to comfort the other party openly and was also qualified to become his strong arm.

You Mian tilted his head and kissed the inside of Pei Huaiji’s wrist, a smile in his amber eyes.

“Chairman Pei has started to manage people?”

Pei Huaiji raised an eyebrow and said in a seductive voice, “Is it not possible?”

The information was closed and placed on the coffee table. You Mian turned sideways, and Pei Huaiji kissed the corner of his lips.

Pei Huaiji reached out and gently pulled You Mian closer to him, letting the young man sit on him astride.

The distance between the two people was so close that it was impossible to get closer.

Once You Mian leaned over, his hair fell on Pei Huaiji’s nose and made the man feel itchy.

You Mian proved with his actions that Pei Huaiji could definitely control him.

In the deep night, the cold wind blew outside the window, and the floor lamp emitted a warm light.

They kissed each other in the howling night wind, enjoying their private love without any cameras.

At the end of the kiss, Pei Huaiji’s heartbeat hadn’t calmed down yet when he heard You Mian suddenly say, “We are going to start recording the show tomorrow.”

Pei Huaiji didn’t understand yet. He just replied calmly, “Yes.”

You Mian rested an arm on his chest, slightly distancing himself. The young man pursed his lips. “We have to pretend we don’t know each other.”

Pei Huaiji was stunned. “Huh?”

You Mian blinked. “The episode hasn’t been recorded yet.”

Pei Huaiji: “……”

You Mian contract, “I also signed a contract.”

Pei Huaiji: “.”

You Mian raised an eyebrow and smiled beautifully. “Just pretend to be the same as before.”

Pei Huaiji caught the loophole in You Mian’s eyes, and his deep eyebrows sank. “Is our relationship different now from before?”

Now it was You Mian’s turn to start blinking nervously.

Pei Huaiji raised his chin, put his palm on the back of You Mian’s head, and kissed it in a lingering manner.

“It is all up to you.”

The moment You Mian sighed with relief, Pei Huaiji said again, “There is something you might not know before, but I am easily jealous.”

You Mian: “?”

Really? He really didn’t know.

Pei Huaiji bit You Mian’s thin lip lightly and said in a deep voice, “So you aren’t allowed to go out on a date with other people.”
