Endless Fall

   Chapter 57 Waiting for her to rely on him enough

   "Jiaojiao, we'll go downstairs to you." Zhou Yanshen sent Lin Jiao a WeChat message and handed a cigarette to Pei Zhi in the passenger seat.

   Seeing him looking out from time to time, he sighed to himself: "She still treats you as an elder, don't you think of a way?"

"any solution?"

   "More intimate contact, hint first."

   Pei Zhi was silent, the smoke from his lips covered his expression: "I'm afraid to scare her away."

   It was rare for him to get closer to her.

   If he goes back to the starting point because of an intimate act, he may not be able to bear it.

   "Then what are you going to do?" Zhou Yan couldn't understand his concerns, but he wouldn't ask him with his own thoughts.

   "Wait until she's reliant on me enough."

   "Then I'm afraid it will take a while."

   "It's okay." Pei Zhi raised a smile: "I've waited for so long anyway, so I'm not in a hurry."

   Zhou Yanshen suddenly didn't know what to say.

   The feeling of loving someone recklessly and persevering in doing something like this is something he has never experienced before.

   He took two puffs of cigarettes, and when he caught sight of Lin Jiao walking towards him, he covered the gloom in his eyes.

   "Have you had breakfast yet?" Lin Jiao, carrying a bag of food, sat alone in the back row.

"not yet."

   Pei Zhi originally wanted to take her to buy steamed dumplings.

   But after seeing her take out some bread and milk, she had to swallow the words stuck in her throat.

   He ate all the food she handed him and adjusted the seat: "How long will it take to get here?"

   "Forty minutes." Zhou Yanshen put one hand on the steering wheel and glanced at the two of them one after another: "You can take a nap."

   "Well." Pei Zhi closed his eyes and rested.

   He relaxed, listened to the light music playing in his ear, and gradually fell asleep.

   But not long after, he woke up in a bumpy ride.

   "Brother Yan, are you here yet?" Lin Jiao in the back row rubbed her eyes, rested her palms on the pillow, and straightened up to look outside.

"almost."

   Zhou Yanshen walked along a narrow road.

   It wasn't until the end of the drive that he stepped on the brakes next to a concrete floor, and took out the gifts in the trunk with Pei Zhi.

  He moved forward against the fresh breeze, freeing up a finger to point to the small courtyard not far away: "It will be there in ten minutes."

   Pei Zhi responded lightly.

   He stepped on the loess road, and the pair of clean sneakers was quickly covered with dust: "Is it convenient for him to live here alone?"

   "It's okay." Lin Jiao pulled the corner of his clothes and leaned in to avoid stepping on other people's dishes.

   She smiled: "Grandpa has a piece of land, and he can grow whatever he wants to eat."

   Pei Zhiran: "Is there a hospital near here?"

   "The hospital is far away." Zhou Yan knew exactly what he meant: "The old man is still in good health. When he gets older, we will still take him back to the city to live."

   "Where did he live before?"

   "The old community behind the Financial City."

   Pei Zhi was a little surprised.

   He looked at the fenced yard and became more and more curious about the old man.

   "Old man!" Zhou Yan shouted deeply, habitually tore off the morning glory on the fence and threw it towards the figure.

   Lin Kanglu, who was sitting in the courtyard, was weaving a basket with a few bamboo strips. Hearing the sound, his hands shook with fright.

   He glanced at the morning glory at his feet, and when the footsteps approached, he got up swiftly and took the bamboo stick to slap him: "Little bastard, don't you feel bad for not picking two flowers?"
