236 How About We Go Get Our Marriage Certificate?
In the 76th year of the Shang Dynasty, the emperor pa.s.sed away.
Concubine Su was in power.
There were only a few people she could trust in the imperial court. Other than the low-profile and mysterious Prince Huai, General w.a.n.g Yun was definitely an ally.
When the army invaded the border, the dynasty was besieged on all sides.
The main army attacked the north, Prince Huai conquered the south, w.a.n.g He attacked the west, and Su Ji led the army to the east.
After holding on for more than half a year, Su Ji received the grievous news of w.a.n.g Yun’s death on the battlefield.
w.a.n.g Yun had spent his entire life in the army and sacrificed himself for the great Shang. Su Ji was heartbroken and ordered a burial.
Su Ji stared at Commander w.a.n.g with emotions.
That sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.
Commander w.a.n.g really looked like the great general w.a.n.g Yun!
Pei Huai caught the unusual look in Su Ji’s eyes.
Su Ji’s throat was dry. After a long while, she finally said, “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa w.a.n.g.”
When Commander w.a.n.g looked at her, he also felt as if they knew each other.
He thought that there was no girl who was worthy of Pei Huai.
However, when he saw Su Ji…
There was still room for improvement for Pei Huai!
Commander w.a.n.g seemed a little emotional. “Pei Huai, you said your girlfriend’s name is Su…? ”
“Su Ji.”
“Su Ji…Su Ji…” Commander w.a.n.g thought for a long time, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard this name.
Perhaps it was fate.
Commander w.a.n.g, who held a high position, stood up involuntarily and shook hands with Su Ji. “I watched Pei Huai grow up. If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell me!”
Su Ji shook his hand solemnly. “Sure.”
She was more and more certain.
Her current and previous lives were linked.
After a long while, Pei Huai suddenly smiled. “May I ask what your family did in the past?”
Commander w.a.n.g sat down, smiling kindly. “I heard that they were in the army. I am the third generation. Are you studying about this?”
“No, I’m just asking.”
After they had lunch outside, Commander w.a.n.g said he was tired and wanted to go home first.
However, Pei Huai knew that this was to give him some time alone with Su Ji.
Shen Mu took the herbs that Su Ji gave him and went back to work.
Pei Huai used this time to teach Su Ji how to drive.
Su Ji realized that Pei Huai’s instructions were clear and he had the same kind of thinking as her.
It was easy to remember.
Pei Huai’s hand held the steering wheel for her to prevent any danger.
The veins on the back of his hand were protruding, and his watch was faintly glowing.
“It’s just a commercial endors.e.m.e.nt. You don’t need to be very good at driving. You just need to know the basics.”
However, Su Ji still took it seriously.
“It’s better if I learn how to drive. It might be useful for filming in the future. I can also drive out by myself.”
Pei Huai did not find it strange that she did not know how to drive.
However, when he heard her say that she wanted to drive by herself, he thought that it was very dangerous. However, he did not want her to think that he was being too controlling, so he had no choice but to say, “in that case, you must learn how to distinguish right from left.”
“…”
Back then, she and Xu Mingzhi had drifted on the sea for ten days because she couldn’t tell right from left!
Pei Huai looked at her. “Do you want to solve this problem?”
Su Ji’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “There’s a way?”
“We can try.”
Then, he leaned against her left ear.
And took a bite
Her earlobe was soft and tender.
Su Ji’s body froze, and she pushed him away.
The bite didn’t hurt, but the feeling was…
It was tingly.
In just a few seconds, a crescent-shaped bite mark appeared on her left earlobe.
Pei Huai’s eyes darkened. “I bit your left ear.”
The ear was sensitive to touch, and it was easy to use this to remember.
Su Ji looked at her ear with teeth marks in the rearview mirror and resisted the urge to hit him.
For the next few laps, she really did not make a mistake.
Every time he said left, the feeling on her left ear would come to mind, and by the same logic, she also remembered which was right.
Pei Huai drove them back.
He looked straight ahead and held the steering wheel with one hand.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Su Ji had been watching him drive as if she was learning.
Pei Huai silently placed his other hand on the steering wheel. For the rest of the journey, he paid attention to his actions to prevent Su Ji from learning dangerous habits.
“Actually, I’ve been reading a novel recently.”
“What novel?”
Pei Huai’s slender fingers slowly tapped on the keyboard twice. “It’s about reincarnation.”
Su Ji turned to look at him. After a while, she said slowly, “then, do you believe that this is possible?”
The car was silent for a few seconds. “I do.”
Su Ji looked at him.
Their eyes met for a few seconds.
Just as Pei Huai thought that Su Ji was going to say something to him, Su Ji suddenly narrowed her eyes.
“How childish. You’re already so old, yet you still believe in such things.”
“…”
He paused before he chuckled.
Forget it.
The car stopped some distance away from the gate.
This was to prevent Xu Mingzhi from knowing that he lived next door.
Su Ji pulled the handle of the car but it did not open.
Pei Huai had not unlocked it.
Su Ji looked at him.
The smile on Huai Huai’s lips was gentle and refined. “I had the most unforgettable birthday this year.”
In the past two days, he was still thinking about what happened in Country T.
This included her embarra.s.sed expression after watching the performance at the theater.
Su Ji’s left ear was tingling again. She bit her inner lip and said, “as long as you are happy.”
“I’ll celebrate your birthday with you next year, okay?”
“Don’t worry about it..”
“I’ll also make it unforgettable for you.”
“Let’s do something meaningful.”
“How about we go get our marriage certificate?”
Su Ji was confused.
What?
This was not the first time he had made such a joke.
He had said the same thing when Tang Yimo was in his room.
Su Ji swallowed.
Could it be that modern couples love to make such jokes?
If she immediately retorted, wouldn’t she seem out of tune with this era?
Pei Huai admired her dazed expression for a while, held her neck, pressed her against his shoulder, and held her in his arms.
“Su Ji, I won’t let you go this time!”
