In the downtown shopping plaza on the first floor, there were just me and Pei Chenyi. I was a Beauty Advisor at the Estée Lauder counter, and he was the male Beauty Advisor at the Hena Brand counter, also one of the brand's star sales associates. He occasionally came over to help us out, like today.
"Yao Yao," he said from behind me, "I heard you finished Lu Rong's new book yesterday?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"How was it? Was it good?"
"It was great!"
"Then..." He paused. "What about the ending?"
"The ending?"
"Yeah."
I fell silent for a moment and sighed. "The ending was definitely good."
"Oh?"
"The main characters went through many hardships and finally ended up together, then continued to live their lives together."
"..."
Pei Chenyi was silent for a moment before he remarked, "That sounds a bit plain."
"Plain?" I shook my head. "I actually think that's the most beautiful ending. After all, life is already tough enough; if it were like those dramas with so much melodrama and twists, what would be the point?"
"..."
Pei Chenyi didn't say anything.
I continued, "What about you? What do you think?"
Pei Chenyi smiled slightly. "I think it's okay."
"Okay?"
"Yeah."
"..."
I felt a bit disappointed. "I thought you would like it."
Pei Chenyi: "..."
...
At noon, Pei Chenyi and I went out for lunch.
Passing by a newly opened restaurant, I couldn't help but stop.
Pei Chenyi asked, "What's wrong?"
I said, "I want to eat this."
Pei Chenyi followed my gaze and saw the signature dish at the entrance—Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes in Vinegar.
He laughed, "You really do love Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes in Vinegar."
"Yeah," I nodded, "I can't be happy without it."
"Then let's go," Pei Chenyi said.
"Where to?"
"To eat Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes in Vinegar."
"……"
I looked at him in surprise.
Pei Chenyi smiled and explained, "I know a restaurant that makes great Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes in Vinegar. Want to give it a try?"
"Sure!" I replied happily.
……
On the weekend, the four of us gathered for a meal.
Pei Chenyi sat on my left, and Du Mei sat on my right.
Du Mei asked, "Yao Yao, what do you want to eat?"
I said, "You guys order; I'm fine with anything."
Du Mei suggested, "Then let's get spicy hot pot!"
Pei Chenyi interjected, "She can't eat spicy food."
"……"
Du Mei and Zhang Qiang exchanged glances, their faces showing ambiguous smiles.
"Oh," Du Mei laughed, "not even married yet, and you're already managing everything?"
Pei Chenyi shrugged, "I'm just looking out for her."
"Right, right," Du Mei teased, "I know you're concerned about her, but… what exactly is your relationship now?"
"……"
Pei Chenyi and I exchanged a glance and fell silent.
Yeah, what exactly is our relationship now?
Colleagues? Friends? Or…
I couldn't help but look at Pei Chenyi again, only to find him staring back at me.
Our eyes met in the air, and I felt a jolt as I hurriedly looked away.
My heart raced, and my cheeks felt hot.
What... is happening to me?
...
After dinner, I went shopping with Pei Chenyi.
As we passed by a bookstore, I said, "Let's go find a book."
Pei Chenyi asked, "What book do you want to read?"
I replied, "I want to read Lu Rong's 'Eyes in the Dark Night.'"
"'Eyes in the Dark Night?'" Pei Chenyi exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't you just finish reading that yesterday?"
"Uh..." I paused for a moment before realizing, "I meant the second volume."
"..."
Pei Chenyi looked at me with a meaningful expression on his face.
I awkwardly asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Chenyi shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
"Oh..."
...
When we arrived at the bookstore, we split up to search for 'Eyes in the Dark Night.'
In the end, Pei Chenyi found it first.
He waved the book at me and said, "Here it is!"
I happily ran over.
Pei Chenyi handed me the book.
I opened it and saw a line on the contents page—
"This book is dedicated to my dearest girl."
