After Playing the Fool And Marrying the Blind Villain – Extra Thirteen
Dingding.
The bell rang—
The afternoon class had just ended. Pei Yi closed his laptop with a snap, slipped out of the lecture theater through the back door, and walked non-stop to the School of Economics next door.
He entered the No. 1 teaching building with ease, and before he could get on the elevator, he heard an argument in the corner.
“Fuck, I’m telling you, don’t meddle in other people’s business!”
“What’s the cleaning aunty’s problem? Didn’t I say I’d compensate her for her cell phone? It’s her who thinks the money isn’t enough and is trying to get more!”
Pei Yi heard this angry accusation and stopped unconsciously.
Instantly, there was another anxious, tearful voice, “Young man, the amount of money isn’t the point. Although my phone is a bit worthless, it contains photos of my child before his death. I….I…..”
Pei Yi frowned and walked over, driven by curiosity.
Perhaps the entanglement had been going on for a long time, because the two boys on the other side were a bit impatient. “Don’t try to flaunt your age, if you don’t want this money, then forget it. Lao Zhou, let’s go!”
“Where are you going!”
A fair-looking boy with a slender figure stood in front of them. “You just pushed Auntie to the ground, and her hand is obviously broken. You need to take responsibility!”
“Weren’t you just bragging about your wealth? And you’re trying to escape this small amount of medical expenses? You have no quality or education!”
The voice was cold and overflowing with ridicule.
Pei Yi’s eyes shifted from the boy’s face to the auntie who was being protected by him.
Sure enough, the latter was holding her left hand, her expression one of extreme and forbearing anguish.
It was pretty much clear who was in the wrong.
The two boys causing trouble exchanged glances, and their impatience instantly reached its peak. They didn’t dare do anything to the cleaning lady there, so they had to transfer their emotions to the boy who was blocking their path.
“Fuck, I told you to stop meddling in other people’s business!”
Pei Yi saw that the boy was at a disadvantage, and rushed forward at once with quick strides!
. . . . . . .
Twenty minutes later, in the department head’s office.
When Bo Yueming arrived, the department head’s lecture and criticism regarding the fight between Pei Yi and the others had just come to an end. As an outer courtyard “invader,” Pei Yi actually kept a straight face and maintained a rare “refusing to give in” attitude.
Bo Yueming knocked hesitantly on the office door. “Director Sun.”
When their eyes met, Director Sun obviously recognized Bo Yueming, who was an outstanding student. “Yueming, ah. This classmate Pei Yi claims to be here to see you. Do you know him?”
“I know him.”
Bo Yueming approached and looked at Pei Yi. “He’s my little brother.”
When their eyes met, Pei Yi’s kitten-like appearance vanished instantly, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience—
It was too embarrassing for a dignified college student to have his family come to claim him after a fight!
“All right, it’s nothing serious, just a small dispute.” The department head confirmed Pei Yi’s status as a student and didn’t exaggerate the matter.
The fight between Pei Yi had just begun when the department head passed by after getting off work, so it didn’t lead to a big transgression.
“Pei Yi isn’t from our school, so let’s forget it this time.”
“Li Yuan, Zhou Zekai, and Lin Yi, each of you will write me a letter of apology! Submit it to me by Monday! I’ll give you a warning first this time, but if it happens again, you will be punished!”
. . . . . . .
Five minutes later, a group of people exited the department head’s office.
“Just wait and see!”
The two boys who had caused the trouble sneered angrily and left at once. They left as soon as they said this, but looking at their backs, they especially deserved a beating.
Pei Yi’s anger had yet to subside, and immediately surged up. “Fuck, I still haven’t beaten them into behaving…..”
He couldn’t help but blurt out a curse, and before he could rush forward, Bo Yueming grabbed him by the nape of the neck. “Pei Yi, stop!”
“……”
His threatening attitude immediately vanished.
Pei Yi turned around honestly and obediently and said: “Er-ge, they started it. I just dropped by to help, honest!”
“I can vouch for him. He really did just drop by to help.” Someone behind the two suddenly spoke up.
Pei Yi’s eyes shifted over and brightened slightly. “Li Yuan, right? Hi, I’m Pei Yi.”
The two were in the same camp during the fight just now, so they would naturally greet each other in a friendly manner.
Li Yuan gave a restrained nod and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, ah.”
Pei Yi raised his head and said, “You’re welcome. I just did what should be done. Are you from the School of Economics too?”
“En, I’m a sophomore.” Li Yuan glanced at his phone and said bluntly, “Let’s talk if we have a chance. I’ll take that auntie to the hospital for an X-ray first.”
If follow-up treatment was needed, he could also take advantage of the department head’s prestige to go to Lin Yi and the other guy and discuss a compensation settlement.
Pei Yi recalled the auntie’s situation and nodded. “Wait, why don’t you find someone to go with you? I’m afraid those two guys will cause trouble again.”
Normally, Pei Yi might have accompanied him personally, but today was a special day and he couldn’t waste too much time on other things.
Pei Yi glanced at Bo Yueming, who was in the same school as Li Yuan. “Er-ge, please call someone to help him.”
Li Yuan didn’t like to trouble others. Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Bo Yueming follow Pei Yi’s wishes and open his phone interface. “I’ll find Yan Cen. He has a car, and happened to come to school today to drop off some documents.”
“……”
Li Yuan bit back his words.
Pei Yi didn’t notice anything and directly agreed. “Okay!”
The three of them shortly reached a consensus, and after deciding to talk another day, Li Yuan took the cleaning lady to find Yan Cen.
Soon, only Pei Yi and Bo Yueming were left in the corridor outside the office.
The eyes of the two met again, and Pei Yi admitted his mistake without fear of embarrassment, “Er-ge, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Don’t tell Father Rong.”
Helpless, Bo Yueming led him away. “Are you hurt?”
Pei Yi regained his spirit. “No, I’m perfectly fine.”
Bo Yueming could do nothing about him, so he simply said, “You’re not allowed to do this next time. If you’re going to fight across schools, plan it in advance.”
When he heard this, Pei Yi immediately remembered his purpose in coming here. “Er-ge, it’s your birthday today. Are you going home tonight?”
Bo Yueming didn’t like birthday parties, and in the past, he kept everything simple when celebrating. At most, he had a simple home-cooked meal with Old Mrs. Bo, Pei Yi, and others.
However, Bo Yueming was still happy that Pei Yi had remembered his birthday.
“En, I’m going home. Are you coming?”
“I was just about to tell you—” A glimmer of light flashed through Pei Yi’s eyes, and he pretended to be calm. “Er-ge, you and the Old Madam and the others eat first tonight. I’ll come find you around seven or eight o’clock.”
“……”
The corners of Bo Yueming’s mouth flattened slightly. “You have something to do?”
Pei Yi did his utmost to hide his inner thoughts. “En, I have an appointment with someone else, so I have to come later.”
Bo Yueming’s smile vanished. “Fine.”
Pei Yi snuck a glance at him. “You’re not angry?”
Bo Yueming noticed his deliberate questioning and wasn’t fooled. “No.”
Pei Yi suppressed a smile. “Oh.”
A month ago, Pei Yi had confirmed his intentions under the guidance of Xu Rong, but didn’t act rashly. Instead, he carefully thought about his plan of pursuit for a long time.
He and Bo Yueming knew each other so well that any “abnormality” would be spotted.
Instead of using the methods of normal people, it was better to remain calm and get along together “normally,” and wait until the time was right before taking action.
Today, Bo Yueming’s birthday, was the right time for him.
The two of them walked out of the No. 1 teaching building, and Pei Yi simply played his trick and ran away. “Then I’ll leave first! Er-ge, see you in the evening!”
With that said, he simply ran off under Bo Yueming’s gaze.
“……”
Bo Yueming watched Pei Yi leave without looking back, and his deliberately restrained emotions turned into a furrow between his eyebrows.
He had initially thought that after the last “misunderstanding,” it wouldn’t take long for Pei Yi to come to a realization, but unexpectedly, a month had passed and everything was still business as usual.
Bo Yueming frowned endlessly, feeling that he should find a way to speed up the process.
There was no time like the present. If there was a chance that night, he would have to pierce this layer of window paper himself.
. . . . . . .
Pei Yi kept his word and came to the door with a cake before eight o’clock in the evening.
“Er-ge, happy birthday!”
Seeing his smiling face, Bo Yueming’s inner gloom that had been building up all afternoon lifted instantly. “Where are you coming back from?”
He was still very concerned about who Pei Yi was with after saying he had “something to do” tonight.
Pei Yi couldn’t help but laugh, and continued to hold up the cake in his hands. “Look, I made it myself! I asked Father Rong to teach me this evening!”
Xu Rong had a class this afternoon, and Pei Yi could only ask for advice after the class was over.
Bo Yueming understood the truth from his few words, and carefully examined the cake covered by a transparent layer of plastic.
Pei Yi proceeded to show off. “How is it? Not bad, right? Father Rong gave me guidance and I did it myself.”
Bo Yueming’s lips finally curled up. “En.”
This crooked thing didn’t look like the decorating technique of a regular cake shop, but in order not to ruin the kitten’s enthusiasm, it was best not to say anything about it.
Pei Yi confidently handed over the cake. “It must be delicious.”
Bo Yueming chuckled. “You say it’s a birthday cake for me, but won’t it all go into your stomach later? Was this cake made according to your favorite flavor?”
Pei Yi covered his lips and refused to admit it. “Nonsense, if you can eat it all, I definitely won’t compete with you.”
The two went up to the second floor.
Bo Yueming was in a good mood, and placed the cake on the bar table. “What kind of wine do you want to drink? Kangdi?”
Pei Yi happily agreed. “You’re willing to give me this wine? Okay, ah!”
Bo Yueming took advantage of his height to take down the red wine from his collection, and opened the bottle while Pei Yi carefully opened the plastic outer packaging of the cake and looked with satisfaction at his first dessert creation.
Pei Yi looked over and said, “Er-ge, do you want to watch fireworks?”
Bo Yueming stopped pouring wine and asked, “What?”
“Look, I’ll conjure them up for you—” Pei Yi took out two numbered fireworks sticks from his black backpack. “We’ll use these instead of birthday candles today.”
Bo Yueming shook his head. “Childish.”
Pei Yi inserted the fireworks sticks representing his age into the cake, his smile undiminished. “It can’t be helped. Who told the Imperial Capital to ban fireworks? I could only use these instead. They’re supposed to burn for one minute. Is that enough for you to make a wish?”
Bo Yueming took out a spare lighter from the cabinet and let him arrange the process.
“Er-ge, have you decided what wish you want to make?”
“Not yet.”
Bo Yueming was telling the truth.
He had never been keen on celebrating birthdays, but he met Pei Yi later on and every birthday became a day for him to indulge in eating cake, which was also pretty good.
Rather than making a wish, Bo Yueming preferred to watch Pei Yi eat cake contentedly.
Pei Yi revealed in a low voice, “They say that birthday wishes come true easily.”
Bo Yueming asked, “What wish do you make every year?”
“It’s very ordinary. I just wish for everyone around me to be healthy.” Pei Yi paused, and said in a softer voice, “I, I don’t know my specific date of birth. If I make a big wish, it will probably fail.”
“……”
A trace of distress overflowed from the depths of Bo Yueming’s eyes, and he changed his words. “Then make a wish for me.”
Pei Yi’s thoughts moved slightly. “Me?”
“En, I give you permission to say whatever you want.”
Bo Yueming turned off all the lights in the small living room, then used the lighter for illumination and walked back to Pei Yi. “Say it, and I will help you realize any wish that you have.”
Pei Yi’s pupils sparkled in the firelight. “Really?”
Bo Yueming lit the firework candles and said, “Really. Come on.”
A cluster of fire split the darkness and illuminated their smiling eyes.
Pei Yi looked at the dancing firelight and felt an indescribable nervousness in his heart. “The first wish is for Bo Yueming to be free from illness and misfortune, and be safe and happy.”
“Okay,” Bo Yueming responded.
“The second wish—” Pei Yi took a deep breath imperceptibly. “I wish for Bo Yueming to be with the person he likes during this new year and stay together with them forever.”
Bo Yueming was stunned for a moment, and something seemed to surge from his chest. “……Okay. What’s the third wish?”
“The third wish—”
Pei Yi gazed at Bo Yueming through the candlelight, his heart beating faster and faster.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
The firework candles were still burning brightly, and seemed to have burned away the invisible layer of window paper between the two of them.
Just before the flames were about to bottom out, Pei Yi finally heard his nervous and trembling voice say, “The third wish is for the person Bo Yueming likes…..to be me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into darkness.
Pei Yi didn’t know how to describe his emotions at that moment. He was overwhelmed with anticipation, and so nervous that he wanted to cry.
He didn’t know if the confession he had made through his wish would be reciprocated. He was even more afraid that he would lose the relationship he already had with Bo Yueming.
Even so, Pei Yi pretended to be relaxed and asked in the silence, “Er-ge, I like you. Do you want to be my boyfriend, ah?”
One second, two seconds, three seconds. Even the smell of smoke from the extinguished candles was lost in the air.
In the darkness, Pei Yi felt a heat on his lips, and as their breaths entangled, he finally received the answer he wanted.
“Okay.”
One word. Simple, firm, and clear.
— I give you permission to say whatever you want. I will help you realize any wish you have.
— I wish that Bo Yueming will always like me and be with me.
— Okay.
