Pei Jin suppressed his impatience and listened to his mother, Ms. Lin, obediently looking at more than twenty people before finally giving up.
Ms. Lin called to offer her condolences, ostensibly expressing concern, but in reality, she was criticizing. "Didn't you find anyone you liked out of more than twenty people?"
Pei Jin was watering the flowers on the balcony. He was taking a rare day off today and replied lazily, "Feelings are something you can't force."
Ms. Lin: "I think you haven't given up yet; your heart is still with Xiao Qin."
Pei Jin: "..."
He paused in his watering motion, the angle of the watering can changed, and the flowers stared at him with their mouths open.
Pei Jin thought to himself, "She truly is his biological mother."
Each word was like a needle, precisely piercing Pei Jin's heart.
He was utterly humiliated.
Fortunately, he had already told his parents the truth back in high school.
He was young and impetuous back then, "I had someone I liked, and he was incredibly amazing."
Recalling the past, Pei Jin said, "Since you know, then stop pressuring me to go on blind dates."
Ms. Lin was furious at his audacity and hung up the phone.
Finally, he added a gloating remark, "Such affectionate words, how come they got divorced?"
Pei Jin was speechless, but fortunately, Ms. Lin had already hung up the phone unilaterally.
He put down his phone, intending to continue watering the little flower that had been thirsty for several days, when the doorbell rang.
He thought it was takeout, so he opened the door and stood there frozen.
When he spoke again, his voice was already somewhat hoarse, "Why are you here?"
Qin Feng said, "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
Pei Jin suddenly felt a sense of helplessness. He didn't understand why Qin Feng could contact him so naturally time and time again, even though they were divorced.
Pei Jin said coldly, "This is the last time."
Qin Feng hummed in agreement.
Upon reaching the entrance, Qin Feng politely inquired, "Excuse me, do I need to change my shoes?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin subconsciously pictured Qin Feng's ankle.
Slender, delicate, and fair-skinned.
He was a little thirsty, took a sip of water, and feigned impatience; "No need."
"Okay," Qin Feng responded readily.
The first skill he learned was to respond promptly to whatever the other person said, otherwise the atmosphere would become awkward.
Pei Jin went to the kitchen and took a bottle of green tea from the refrigerator.
When they returned to the living room, Qin Feng sat obediently on the sofa, his hands even resting on his knees.
Pei Jin paused for a moment, then threw the green tea in front of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked up and said obediently, "Thank you."
Pei Jin was seething with anger, which had started when Ms. Lin called earlier, so his tone was rather unfriendly. "What are you planning to do now?"
Qin Feng took a file folder out of his bag, placed it on the coffee table, and moved it in front of Pei Jin.
Pei Jin stared at the few thin sheets of paper in the file folder, not even moving a finger. "What's this?"
Qin Feng answered earnestly, "My detailed report."
Pei Jin paused for a moment, opened the file folder, and the title on the top of the first page was about Qin Feng's love for Pei Jin.
In that instant, Pei Jin seemed to hear the sound of his heart pounding.
The fingers gripping the file folder turned white from the force.
Qin Feng's report was remarkably detailed.
Pei Jin glanced at each of the first to the fifty-second entries, and immediately looked away as if he had been burned.
"You..."
He uttered only one word before immediately shutting his mouth.
Because I didn't know what to say.
He seems to be still in a dream, and everything around him is an illusion.
Qin Feng said, "I still don't understand why you want a divorce, but I can sense that you seem to have lost hope in me."
He paused for two seconds, then said earnestly, "After several days of careful analysis, I think there's still a chance to save me."
Pei Jin slowly exhaled.
Because he was at home, he was dressed casually, with his long hair loosely draped over his shoulders.
He had previously worked as a game streamer for a while. Back then, he was bored in college and became interested in the game, so he started streaming.
At that time Pei Jin was good-looking, and his long black hair made him even more recognizable, so he became popular very quickly.
He eventually quit this job after taking over the family business.
However, this job still brought about significant changes for Pei Jin.
For example, occasionally taking care of your skin or changing your outfit.
In private, she's just like a celebrity—effortlessly beautiful.
Qin Feng stared intently at him.
Pei Jin shifted his position and continued sitting, taking a deep breath. "Don't look at me."
Qin Feng: "Then what should I look at?"
Pei Jin: "You can look at anything, just don't look at me."
Qin Feng said "Oh," and then looked at Pei Jin's hair falling on his chest.
Pei Jin: "..."
He closed his eyes, then opened them again a few seconds later. "What are you looking at?"
Qin Feng answered seriously, "Your hair."
Pei Jin: "..."
He had a slight headache.
"And don't look at my hair."
Qin Feng regretfully, "Alright."
Pei Jin glanced at the document, still somewhat hesitant to look at it, and lingered for several minutes.
Qin Feng assumed he had finished reading and immediately asked, "How was it?"
Pei Jin: "... How about what?"
Qin Feng earnestly, "Can we go get our marriage certificate now?"
Pei Jin looked at him with a complicated expression, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Feng wasn't disappointed when he saw that the man was somewhat resistant.
After all, he had only asked casually, and it wasn't his real purpose for coming today.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Can I pursue you?"
Pei Jin: "..."
He looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled expression. "Haven't seen you for a month, and you've mutated?"
"No," Qin Feng said, "I just went to take some psychology courses."
Pei Jin: "You..."
Qin Feng said, "I may not be very good at speaking, and what I say may not be pleasant to hear, but you can point it out in the future, and I will definitely change."
Pei Jin: "... I understand."
His thoughts were a bit jumbled and he couldn't sort them out, so he could only give a mechanical answer.
Qin Feng was very satisfied.
Since Pei Jin has already agreed to let him pursue him, it means that there are still many possibilities for them.
Qin Feng stood up and offered to leave.
He couldn't wait to go home and make plans for their first date.
Pei Jin stared at his retreating figure.
After closing the door, he returned to the sofa, remained silent for a long time, picked up the documents on the table, and began to read them.
Qin Feng, as expected of a science student, gave a concise and clear reason.
Reason one: When you kiss me, my heart beats very fast. I used to think it was because of the kiss itself, but now that I've imagined someone else kissing me, I find my heart is completely still.
Reason two: I was so happy on my wedding day that I didn't sleep well the night before.
Reason three: For the past two years, I've been thinking about you constantly, but I've been too slow to realize it.
