Endless Fall - Chapter 244
244 My Cat Wants to Be sniffed
Zhou Yanshen straightened his knees and slowed down his pace to approach the marriage tree, looking for branches with less red silk.
As they looked around, Lin Jiao placed her legs on Pei Zhi’s shoulder and pointed to the right. “There’s less red silk over there.”
Jiang Ye and Chu Yuzhou followed him.
The women sitting on their shoulders reached out to tie the red silk on the branch and listened to the faint sound of wooden tablets colliding.
Sunlight poured through the leaves on the ground like starlights.
“My feet are numb.” Pei Yilan felt a numbness like an ant biting her and frowned slightly.
Jiang Ye immediately squatted down. “Come down first.”
When the softness on his shoulder disappeared, he carried her to sit on the stone bench and massaged her feet gently.
When Shen Yi and Qu Shao, who came from the front yard, saw her frowning in pain, they asked with concern, “Did you sprain your ankle?”
“No.” Pei Yilan felt the numbness disappear from her ankle and gradually heaved a sigh of relief. “How’s fortune-telling going?”
“It’s said that we’ll find our love this year.” Qu Shao placed a hand on Shen Yi’s shoulder. “And it is the right kind of love.”
“Not bad.” Chu Yuzhou congratulated them in advance.
He smiled and teased, “Brother Yi’s twenty-nine years of being single is finally coming to an end.”
“It hasn’t even begun yet.” Shen Yi didn’t know if he should believe the fortune-teller or not, so he didn’t have too much hope.
“There are still four months left for this year.” Zhou Yanshen handed them a cigarette. “Don’t be anxious.”
“How can you tell that I’m anxious?”
“From you face.”
Shen Yi was speechless, and he did not want to discuss this further.
The laughter and chatter filled the air as they walked down the mountain path, leaving the quiet mountain behind.
On Sunday morning, they left the summer villa.
When they returned to Red Maple Forest, Lin Jiao lay on the sofa and watched a video.
“Wifey, what are you watching?”
“Cat-sniffing video.”
Pei Zhi took off his watch. “How do you sniff a cat?”
“You’ve never seen a video of a cat sniffing?”
“No.” His well-defined hand landed on her slender waist and wrapped around her. “Play it again for me to see.”
A cat meow sounded again. Lin Jiao watched the cat-sniffing process with him.
She pointed at the screen. “People usually sniff the cat from the head, then the face, then the neck and belly.”
Pei Zhi looked at the person in his arms.
He turned off the screen and placed his warm palm on the back of her head. “Okay.”
“Ok what?”
“My cat wants to be sniffed.” He leaned close to her neck. “As her owner, I naturally have to satisfy her, right?”
His hot breath was like dandelions blown away by the wind, tickling her skin.
Lin Jiao watched as he sniffed from her neck to her collarbone, her face visibly red.
She pushed his shoulder away. “I’m not a cat.”
Pei Zhi stared at her with a burning gaze and carried her into the bedroom without giving her a chance to escape.
He found the cat ears headband and bell necklace and gently put them on for her. “You are now.”
The crisp sound brought back Lin Jiao’s memories.
At the thought of wearing a chain last time, she couldn’t help but bend her knees and move back. “Hubby, I’m a little sleepy.”
“I’ll sleep with you.” Pei Zhi took off his loungewear and placed his strong arms on the blanket.
Lin Jiao’s heart skipped a beat, unable to resist the temptation.
She looked away from his abs and turned to pick up the tie on the bedside table. “Sure, but you have to be obedient.”
Guessing what she was going to do next, Pei Zhi smiled with interest.
He leaned against the soft pillow and looked at his prey, who thought she could control everything, as she walked step by step towards the trap.
