At first, I didn't touch Pei Shiyu's body, I just widened the skirt outwards.

The zipper was very thin and stuck tightly. I pulled it a few times, but there was no sign of loosening.

"Did it get caught on something?" she asked.

I observed and said, "Looks like a loose thread. Is this from a street stall?"

Actually, this was a designer dress. I don't know if it was because I bought it too small or what. Without even thinking, I said, "Is it because your butt is too big, or did you buy a skirt that's too small?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Can you pull it smoothly?"

"It won't budge. Why don't I go out first, you turn the skirt to the front, and try it yourself."

After saying that, I immediately walked out of Pei Shiyu's room, and before closing the door, I added, "I have something to ask you later, call me when you've changed."

"What else is there?"

"Change first, and I'll tell you later."

Pei Shiyu didn't say anything more. I immediately returned to my room. Her nonchalant behavior earlier made me start overthinking again. That's why I deliberately didn't ask directly just now. In this situation, she would definitely answer to let me return to China tomorrow, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Seizing the opportunity might be the only chance.

About twenty minutes later, Pei Shiyu knocked on my door, changed into a pair of jeans, and still wearing the same top. I personally thought this combination looked even better, highlighting her perfectly proportioned figure even more.

She came in and asked, "What is it?"

My eyes continued to scan her body. This woman in front of me had deeply attracted me like a magnet, until Pei Shiyu's voice sounded again, bringing me back to my senses...

"If you're not going to say anything, I'm leaving."

"It's just...are you really not letting me go with you to other places? Wang Rui is leaving tomorrow. If what you said is true, then I'll have to go back to China with her, otherwise it'll still be difficult for me to board the plane with my level."

"Leave quickly, it's best to go back tonight."

After saying that, she wanted to leave. I quickly grabbed her wrist and said very seriously, "I'm serious. Actually, I really want to go with you, but if you mind bringing me along, I'll have Wang Rui book a ticket now. She's still waiting."

"What's your purpose for coming abroad?" Pei Shiyu asked abruptly.

"Wang Rui invited me. The time we were eating together, you just happened to say you were coming to Germany, so I was tempted. I also haven't been abroad before, but my desire to see you is even greater."

"Then why do you keep asking?"

"Isn't your personality a bit unpredictable? What if..."

"What if what? It's up to you to decide whether you go or not."

Pei Shiyu's answer sounded a bit indifferent, but I knew it was a kind of default attitude. While we were talking, I was unconsciously still holding her wrist. Maybe we both forgot about this action, and she didn't ask me to let go. Looking at her beautiful hand shape, I consciously squeezed it a little. Before Pei Shiyu wanted to break free, I tightened my grip slightly again.

I don't know where the courage came from, whether it was her answer just now or the atmosphere in front of me that suddenly made me want to take things a step further. I didn't have extra time to think too much, I just took advantage of the atmosphere to ask her instinctively: "Two older youths, how about we team up and live together?"

I saw her first reveal an unhappy expression, and then said, "Can you be any more clichéd?"

I admit that these words are not romantic at all, only because I have no confidence, so I can only use this probing way to see her reaction. Does Pei Shiyu's answer imply that a different approach would work?

I'm not sure!

Speechless, she just looked at me. That kind of look is hard to describe, it seems like there's anticipation, but it doesn't seem like it. It can also be understood as her watching me make a fool of myself, seeing if I can say something more meaningful, which is indeed a bit difficult for me. For me, who is used to wandering, it's really hard to say something refined all of a sudden.

Nervously, I just told her, "I will be good to you. Try to understand me first. If you think I'm not bad, or suitable for you, then you can consider it. I know I'm not worthy of you in many ways, but I can learn in the future. You can also teach me how to be the man you like."

Maybe what I said was more sincere, Pei Shiyu's expression immediately relaxed. She didn't smile, but I saw her eyes suddenly become very soft, containing recognition and being touched, which is the connotation I read.

Seeing that she hadn't answered for a long time, I started to anxiously ask for confirmation, "Is that okay?"

Pei Shiyu immediately put away the meaningful look just now, and just replied indifferently, "I don't know."

"Why? Do you think I'm not worthy?"

"What do you think?"

"I admit it! But I will work hard to make up for the places where I'm not as good as you, and try to become the man you imagine."

Pei Shiyu didn't answer this time, and walked directly out of my room. I think it should be difficult for her to accept a man like me who is useless except for his appearance. I can very well understand her mentality just now. Not directly rejecting me is already giving me face.

Staring dejectedly at the tightly closed door, this feeling is a bit disappointing. Although it's already considered lightning speed, I didn't get a definite answer from Pei Shiyu, so my heart is hanging in the air.

When I called Wang Rui, there was the sound of a hair dryer, probably just finished showering. As soon as she answered the phone, she asked me, "What did she say?"

"You go back first tomorrow, she said let me make the decision."

"That's great, she has 100% recognized you from the bottom of her heart."

I don't know which aspect of recognition Wang Rui is referring to, but I bluntly replied, "I confessed to her just now, she didn't agree, and I'm feeling a bit discouraged now."

She seemed very interested in this topic, and immediately asked me, "How did you confess? Tell me."

"I said two older youths, why don't we just make do with each other."

As soon as I finished speaking, laughter came from the other end of the phone, and then she said, "You're not confessing, you're saying that people are old, no wonder she didn't agree!"

"Then teach me a few tricks, or tell me what girls like to hear most."

"Language is a technical skill, you can't learn it by being taught, if you don't have the talent, you have to be a little more heartwarming, unless you are very capable of helping her solve all the problems she encounters in life, such a man is worthy of a woman's admiration."

I directly replied to her very dejectedly, "I don't have that kind of courage and ability. Staying with her abroad for a period of time, if that doesn't increase the impression, I think the hope is slim, and it's almost over."

"I don't think so, she should be a woman who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. If you usually do things that she likes, it will add points."
