Endless Fall

134 Dreaming Again

Pei Zhi, who was tickled, did not even complain.

He pinched her toes and passed his fingertips through the gaps between her toes to wash them patiently.

Lin Jiao, who could not move, stopped curling her toes.

Under his gentle massage, she closed her eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, Pei Zhi wiped the water off her feet and passed a hand through the gap between her waist and arm.

“Jiaojiao.” He held her waist and rubbed her soft skin. “Change your clothes before you sleep.”

Lin Jiao subconsciously lifted the hem of her shirt.

Before she could expose an inch of her skin, Pei Zhi turned around and handed her the pajamas.

“Come up and keep me company.” She didn’t even bother to button the pajamas and got into bed.

Pei Zhi lifted the blanket and got in, using his strong arm to pillow her.

He kissed her on the forehead, just like how he did every other night.

The moonlight pouring down from the window gradually weakened.

Day and night changed shifts. Birds in the mountains flew past the balcony under the glaring sun and let out high-pitched chirps.

Chu Yuzhou, who was the first to wake up, turned on the stereo and played a random song at max volume.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he pushed open the glass door of the balcony and looked at the towering mountain in the distance.

“It’s a typical sensation.”

“Feeling this sensation, my love.” He hummed to the melody, waking up the others.

“Chu Yuzhou, shut up!”

“It’s a typical sensation.”

Seeing that he wasn’t going to stop, Pei Yilan walked to the balcony with the pillow and threw it to the right.

“Are you crazy?” Chu Yuzhou accidentally dropped the cigar on the pillow and stepped on it to keep the fire from spreading.

His flustered look made people want to laugh. Pei Yilan fought back the laughter and said to him, “Don’t be such an annoyance so early in the morning.”

“Did I disturb you?”

Another pillow was thrown at him. Chu Yuzhou kicked the cigarette butt away and was finally angry. “Do you have to always be so childish?”

“What?”

“Pretending to be deaf?” He picked up the pillow, grabbed the railing with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and threw it back at her.

In such a manner, a pillow fight broke out.

The music and noise made Pei Zhi, who was leaning against the bed, no longer sleepy.

He stood up and put on his sweater. When he turned around, he saw Lin Jiao searching for something. He asked in confusion, “Jiaojiao, what are you looking for?”

“A stick.”

“Where did the stick come from?”

“I don’t know either.” Lin Jiao lifted the blanket and couldn’t find the stick anywhere.

She knelt by the bed. “How strange.”

“Did you dream?” Pei Zhi tucked her hair behind her ear.

Lin Jiao thought for a moment and felt that he was right. “Maybe.”

“Did the stick chase you in your dream?”

“No.” She asked Pei Zhi to bring the clothes over and planned to get changed first. “I can’t even remember.”

Pei Zhi kissed her lips. “Then change first.”

He walked to the balcony with a cigarette and lighter to watch the pillow fight that had yet to end.

Seeing that Pei Yilan was exhausted, Chu Yuzhou threw away the pillow and could not be bothered to play with her anymore.

He lit another cigarette and asked when he saw Pei Zhi, “Brother Pei, where are we going today?”

“Back Mountain.”

“Ride the cable car?”

“Yes.” Pei Zhi blew out a puff of smoke. “Wash up and go downstairs to eat.”

Chu Yuzhou returned with a few pillows.

He tidied his messy hair and turned off the music before leaving.
