When Will My Childhood Sweetheart Marry Me?-Chapter 83 - 0: Close Your Eyes

Under the pale white light, Jiang Shuyao gently lowered her eyes, unaware of herself, and smiled faintly.

Although the smile was light, it still clearly fell into Pei Yan’s eyes.

Seeing her smile like that, he felt that even if she stabbed him with a knife, it would have been worth it.

But before dying from the gentle blade, perhaps he should get his portrait taken care of first.

Caught off guard, once again her chin was lifted by someone’s hand.

The girl was forced to look up at him, panic flashing across her moist eyes.

She thought he was about to do something to her again.

Pei Yan, however, laughed lazily, "I’ve changed my mind, that slap doesn’t count. Where’s my birthday gift? Hand it over."

With time pressing, Jiang Shuyao hadn’t prepared a gift in advance, planning to make it up later.

But with him asking proactively, she could only helplessly say, "If there is something you particularly want, and it’s within my means, I can try my best to accommodate you."

The air suddenly stilled.

She said she would try her best to accommodate any request he had.

To Pei Yan, this was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

Unfortunately, the moment he locked eyes with the girl’s pure and harmless gaze, he felt like a beast.

Pei Yan stared at her face for a while, his thoughts unclear, and this action lasted for about ten seconds before he silently retracted his hand that was pinching her chin.

He spoke to her softly, "Close your eyes."

Jiang Shuyao hesitated briefly, then unwillingly complied—what if he was planning to play another trick on her?

The youth’s patience was good this time; he didn’t intend to force her. In the quiet living room, his low and soothing voice carried comfort and trust, "Yaoyao, don’t be afraid, close your eyes."

Before he said he had something to show her, and she had already been given "Xici"—what else could there be?

Jiang Shuyao was hesitant, but the strong intuition in her mind compelled her to obediently close her eyes.

In the darkness, the young man’s warm palm took hold of her slightly cool little hand.

The moment their skin touched, Jiang Shuyao instinctively retracted her hand, but he, anticipating this, tightened his grip, pulling her forcefully to his side.

"Walk with me, and if your hand moves again, I’ll just carry you over."

"..."

The threat proved pretty effective.

The girl pursed her lips in silence, her hand quietly resting in his palm, her steps following his direction little by little. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She vaguely guessed it was the direction of the study.

What did he want to do?

With trepidation and curiosity, Jiang Shuyao was ultimately led by Pei Yan to stop in front of a door.

Next came the sound of a key turning in the lock, and then, a familiar scent wafted gently towards her.

Jiang Shuyao’s tightly closed eyes twitched slightly as she asked softly, "Can I open my eyes now?"

Perhaps she didn’t realize it herself, but there was an imperceptible tremble in her voice.

It was the kind of fluctuation on the brink of an emotional outpour.

Pei Yan loosened his grip and chuckled lowly in her ear, "My princess, how come you’re so smart."

Just in the instant of opening the door, he noticed her transformation.

Under the light, the beautiful butterfly flapped its wings and gradually opened its field of vision.

The difference in lighting before and after made it a bit difficult for the girl to adjust when she opened her eyes.

She slowly blinked, and as the picture in front of her gradually became clear, she became utterly stunned.

The terrace bay window, the light pink damask curtains, the night breeze entering through the window, stirring a gentle fragrance throughout the room.

Jiang Shuyao stood quietly at the door, her soft gaze gently sweeping over every part of the study.

No.

Perhaps from now on, this room could no longer be called a study.

Rather, a painting studio.
