AWB Chapter 256: Love is Hurt
Chapter 256: Love is Hurt
Pei Jin looked at the electric self-defense device in Bai Yuan's hand.
Look at her gentle smiling face again.
Suddenly he felt an invisible electric current flash through his body, making his scalp numb and his body shudder.
A bold guess came into his mind.
Pei Jin swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively with a somewhat innocent expression:
"……I?"
Bai Yuan smiled but said nothing.
Neither admitted nor denied.
But his face was full of the words "You are self-aware" written all over it.
Pei Jin: No???
Pei Jin's expression cracked slightly.
Pei Jin: Did I break the law of heaven?
Pei Jin: Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His deep blue peach eyes were filled with confusion, questioning and accusations about Bai Yuan's behavior.
Bai Yuan did not answer in a hurry.
Instead, he put the electric shock self-defense device that made Pei Jin shudder back into his pocket.
Then, he took out a neatly folded and well-preserved piece of paper from the other pocket in an orderly manner.
Bai Yuan asked softly, "Do you recognize him?"
Pei Jin took the note doubtfully and unfolded it in his hand.
After seeing the contents of the handwriting clearly, his pupils trembled slightly.
He clenched his fingers slightly around the edge of the paper.
That face with a somewhat exotic look suddenly turned red.
Pei Jin covered his face with his hands, avoiding Bai Yuan's scrutiny, and stammered:
"... um... ah... I know you, this is from me... I gave it to you..."
The smile on Bai Yuan's face deepened a little, and he added:
"——threatening letter."
"——A letter of goodwill."
Two voices of different genders sounded almost at the same time.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Pei Jin sent such a bold letter of goodwill to a girl.
I was in a state of excitement when I wrote it, but now that I am speaking it out in front of the person involved, I have a completely different feeling.
It's inevitable that I'm a little embarrassed.
But after he heard clearly what Bai Yuan said, the embarrassed expression froze on his face and was slowly replaced by shock.
Pei Jin opened his mouth.
Finally, he squeezed out a sentence from his throat with difficulty:
"……what?"
Bai Yuan didn't know why he had such a faded expression.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and repeated what Pei Jin had said:
"court?"
Then, Bai Yuan seemed to have heard something funny and asked, "Are you following me?"
"No?" Pei Jin's heart pounded as he felt guilty when facing Bai Yuan.
But when he saw that Bai Yuan's puzzled expression had not changed, even Pei Jin himself gradually showed a hint of confusion.
Pei Jin stared at Bai Yuan for a while and confirmed again and again that she really didn't understand.
He then unfolded the paper in his hand and turned the side with the picture towards Bai Yuan.
He stretched out his finger, gestured on it and explained:
"It's me, it's you, I shot an arrow through your heart..."
What kind of public execution is this!!!
He said that meeting Bai Yuan would definitely not be a good thing!!!
Isn't this? I'm dead again...
Pei Jin suppressed his shame and continued, "This arrow symbolizes my feelings for you..."
Hearing this, Bai Yuan shifted his gaze away from the arrow that his fingertips were pointing at.
"Just like me?"
When she said this, her brows were gentle and her face was smiling.
Pei Jin swallowed the words "Who likes it" that were about to come out of his mouth, and shifted his gaze in silence.
Bai Yuan looked Pei Jin in the eye and expressed his doubts:
"Like why would I want an arrow through my heart?"
Pei Jin was stunned for a moment.
This is the first time I have heard such a unique perspective.
I have no words to say.
A question mark slowly appeared above my head.
Bai Yuan ignored him and continued to ask:
"Stepping back a step, why can't you just give it to me with an arrow piercing your heart?"
When Bai Yuan said this, the ambiguity between young people was upgraded to that of an R-rated horror movie, full of blood.
Pei Jin had never thought about this question. He swallowed a little when she asked him. His mind uncontrollably followed her words and a picture came to his mind. He made a sound and answered subconsciously:
"...Is it possible...that this is what's written in Greek mythology?"
After saying this, Pei Jin finally got out of the vicious circle set by Bai Yuan.
No? We are all just using it, who has the time to think about it?
"So, the way to express love in mythology is to shoot an arrow through the heart?"
When Bai Yuan was thinking, his eyes narrowed slightly and his expression was focused, showing a side that was calmer and more controlled than usual, with a kind of intellectual beauty.
For Pei Jin, who had seen Bai Yuan's gentle smile many times, it was novel and filled with an irresistible attraction because of the mystery that was revealed.
Pei Jin's thick and long eyelashes trembled and drooped, and he took advantage of the height difference to look at her from the side and above.
He leaned forward inconspicuously in the direction where Bai Yuan was.
It quietly brought them closer to each other.
It also allowed him to see Bai Yuan's expression more clearly at this moment, taking it all in.
"If that's the case, does it mean that love is often accompanied by hurt?" Bai Yuan seemed unaware, his expression unchanged, still concentrating on his own analysis.
After closing the distance between them, Pei Jin listened to Bai Yuan's rational and thoughtful voice, and at the same time smelled a faint, almost imperceptible cool breath.
Just like Bai Yuan's temperament at the moment, it lingered lightly in his nostrils. Pei Jin distinguished it carefully and it smelled a bit like pine resin.
He recalled the information he had accidentally obtained before, and thought that Bai Yuan seemed to be learning the violin.
Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan's naturally drooping fingers, then moved his gaze up to her left shoulder and neck, and involuntarily moved a little closer.
It seems that he wants to use this to confirm his own inference.
At this moment, Bai Yuan raised her hand and pressed it against his forehead which was getting closer and closer. She used her fingertips to push him back a little and distanced herself from him again.
Pei Jin's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.
But the cold touch from Bai Yuan's fingertips did not disappear.
Instead, it went along his forehead, across his high nose bridge, and all the way down.
With an ambiguous touch, she gently brushed across his lips, jaw, and scraped his Adam's apple, and her little finger lightly rested on his collarbone.
As expected, it brought with it a faint, barely noticeable scent of pine.
Bai Yuan stopped, opened his palms, and pressed the base of his palms against Pei Jin's throat, exercising great restraint and not applying any unnecessary force.
"Either you hurt me, or I hurt you..."
But every word he spoke made it more suffocating than the actions and behaviors themselves.
The light in Pei Jin's azure eyes moved slightly. She held her breath and stared without blinking at Bai Yuan who was so close to her. Her Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably in her palm.
Bai Yuan suddenly loosened his hand, and with the attitude of a superior who cares for a younger person, he stroked his shoulder naturally and smoothly, brushing away the non-existent dust.
"If you don't want to get hurt, what makes you think I would?"
