Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Have You Loved Her for a Long Time?

"Zhizhi, I’m glad you think that way."

In the silent corridor, every sentence from Pei Yu echoed in Shen Zhiyi’s ears.

"This isn’t jealousy," he knew too well how Shen Zhiyi would think and was willing to teach her bit by bit, "it’s possessiveness."

Shen Zhiyi lifted her head, gazing into his deep, dark eyes, where a light smile fluttered, easily revealing how pleased he was at the moment. He curved his lips in satisfaction and kissed her forehead, her eyebrows, "This means you love me a little more now."

All her confusion, hesitation, and embarrassment found answers in his words.

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, feeling the scorching kisses he planted on her face, her heartbeat gradually becoming unsteady, causing her thoughts to tumble into chaos.

She had realized quite early that she liked Pei Yu, but never thought this liking was different from others’. Many people liked Pei Yu, and liking him was nothing out of ordinary.

But at this moment, Pei Yu told her that she was already in love with him.

Because she loved him, she couldn’t suppress her heart’s desire to be with him forever. Because she loved him, she couldn’t tolerate others coveting him.

Because she loved him, she became narrow-minded and selfish, nitpicking every detail...

Suddenly, Shen Zhiyi realized that these feelings she was currently experiencing for Pei Yu had already been expressed by him towards her.

Pei Yu... had he been in love with her all along?

Her lower lip slightly bitten, Shen Zhiyi opened her eyes to see Pei Yu’s smiling eyes.

He said, "But it’s still not enough."

Pei Yu looked down with a serious, focused expression, hooked her fingertips lightly swinging them, "Zhizhi, can you love me a little more?"

Her heart tenderly melted in a spot, almost indulgently, Shen Zhiyi murmured, "Okay."

The two remained in the corridor for a long time, and since the wrap party was not over yet, Shen Zhiyi went back to the private room separately from him.

Having witnessed that surprising scene, the supporting actress was very curious about Shen Zhiyi, but she didn’t dare to ask and even deliberately avoided eye contact out of embarrassment.

After all, it was somewhat awkward to see such dramas unfold on a colleague.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t notice her peculiarity, sat down, and drank a cup of hot water; her lips tingled as it touched the water. She hissed and only then realized her lips were swollen.

Only after looking in the mirror did she realize how noticeable the swelling was. Anyone who saw her could guess what had happened, and the tender emotions that had arisen from the earlier scene in the corridor instantly vanished as Shen Zhiyi burst into laughter.

Pei Yu!

Speaking of the devil, Pei Yu texted her, asking when she would be finished.

Shen Zhiyi sent over the time and also sent him a recent photo of herself, showing him the result of his actions.

This man really knew no restraint; it was hard to say he hadn’t done it on purpose.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Pei Yu glanced at his phone, saw it was a photo and he tilted the screen slightly towards himself to prevent others from peeking.

In the photo, Shen Zhiyi was frowning slightly, her face showing annoyance, her eyes watery as she looked at the camera, and below that, her swollen lips highlighted a startling, breathtaking beauty against her pale face.

Pei Yu took a few longer looks, smiled subtly, and started typing a reply.

"Seducing me?"

Shen Zhiyi nearly choked on her water when she saw the message. Her face instantly turned red with annoyance. She really wanted to block him.

Always talking nonsense.

Pei Yu knew that teasing her too much would make her angry, so he quickly sent another message.

"Sorry, I couldn’t help myself and couldn’t resist. It won’t happen again."

His apology seemed sincere, but the excuse was too cursory, and it was clear he hadn’t learned his lesson.

Shen Zhiyi couldn’t be bothered with him and flipped her phone face down on the table.

After staying in the private room for a while longer, everyone was drunk. Close to the end of the event, the male lead raised his glass to speak. He was quite an emotional person and couldn’t help but cry while expressing his gratitude. At that moment, he was live streaming. Not only did he shock the people at the table, but his live-streaming fans were also completely taken by surprise. The entire room watched as this grown man sobbed, and it was Shen Zhiyi who reacted first, handing him a few tissues.

"Zhiyi, I’m truly so grateful to you. Honestly, I think you acted better than I did, always guiding me," the male lead couldn’t stop crying. Fortunately, he was coherent enough that everyone could understand him, "I’m lucky to have had you there; otherwise, Director Meng would have driven me to a breakdown. I’m really thankful."

Since he had a lot of fans watching the live stream, they also expressed their thanks in the comments, making Shen Zhiyi feel quite embarrassed as she grabbed a box of tissues, "We’re friends, don’t cry."

Just then, Pei Yu arrived to pick someone up. He knocked twice but no one heard, so he let himself in. He didn’t notice someone was live streaming on their phone right away and walked over to Shen Zhiyi, his hand resting on her shoulder as he glanced at the male lead wiping his tears.

Shen Zhiyi noticed him and nudged him to the side to keep him out of the frame.

Pei Yu let her direct him, and while looking at the teary-faced male lead, he raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Did you do this?"

Shen Zhiyi looked innocent, "Do I have that kind of power?"

Their voices weren’t loud, but just then no one else was speaking, so their conversation was captured by the phone. Although the camera didn’t catch Pei Yu, several viewers were asking who the owner of the charming voice was.

The male lead, still dabbing at his tears, answered vaguely, "Zhiyi’s family member."

The comments erupted with demands to see the real person, and the male lead shrugged, "They’ve already left."

Shen Zhiyi hadn’t drunk much, and the night breeze had completely sobered her up. She and Pei Yu were waiting by the roadside for the valet to bring the car around. A few more people appeared at the entrance, apparently attendees of the same event as Pei Yu, nodding at each other as they passed.

Shen Zhiyi’s hand was still being held by Pei Yu, and people kept glancing her way as they spoke, with no malice, but it made her feel uneasy. She fidgeted with her fingers, wanting to withdraw her hand.

At her movement, Pei Yu immediately noticed and stopped talking to look down at her, "What’s wrong?"

The few people across also turned their gaze toward her.

"Nothing," Shen Zhiyi shook her head, allowing him to continue holding her hand.

Soon, she felt another stare on her and looked up to recognize the woman who had been talking to Pei Yu in the hallway.

From a distance, she couldn’t make out the other woman’s expression, but Shen Zhiyi calmly met her gaze until the other woman looked away and walked off.

The car pulled up, and Pei Yu ended his conversation, leading her into the car. His next move was to lower the partition and lean in for a kiss.

Shen Zhiyi dodged, reprimanding him, "It’s still swollen."

"Hmm," Pei Yu’s adam’s apple bobbed, "Then I’ll choose another spot."

Since kissing was out of the question, he began kissing her neck, slowly moving downward.
