The Vicious Female Support Wants to Quit

Chapter 32: Acting or real emotions?



  1. Acting or real emotions?


 The dark night is full of stars, and a full moon hangs quietly on it, outlining a quiet and beautiful picture. If you look down, you will see a completely different scene. The night of Paris twinkles with neon lights, the streets are bustling with cars, people are rushing forth noisily and with excitement. 

 

The tightly closed doors and windows blocked out all the noise, and Gu Ningyou stood alone in front of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes downcast and looking out the window, but they were lax and unfocused.

 

When she was in the coffee shop in the afternoon, she spent all her energy on thinking about Jiang Yao. She didn’t think too much about Pei Siyuan, but it didn’t mean that she wouldn’t feel strange now that she was idle.

 

She has no way of verifying the truth of her past life. All the analysis is her own speculation based on the plot and Jiang Yao’s words. She dared not guarantee that her conjectures were all correct, but she could probably guess eight or nine not far from it.

 

Assuming her speculation is correct, and Jiang Yao really got out of the control of the plot when she called her, then what Jiang Yao said at that time should also be true.

 

This includes “Pei Siyuan doesn’t love her”.

 

And this is precisely the point that makes her most unbelievable.

 

Anyone who knows Pei Siyuan will not have any doubt that Pei Siyuan loves Jiang Yao, for two reasons, Pei Siyuan’s preference for Jiang Yao has always been undisguised, he is cold and distant to everyone, only when facing Jiang Yao will he show his gentle and patient side. Later, they also held a wedding of the century that was enough to make a sensation in the world.

 

In her previous life, she saw reporters’ reports on the upcoming wedding. The venue of the wedding alone is romantic and dreamy, enough to make any girl who is eager for love envious. Although she did not know the specific of that wedding, she thinks that the scene must be spectacular and earth-shattering.

 

Will Pei Siyuan not love Jiang Yao? Will he?

 

On any previous day, she could definitely answer no, but after meeting Jiang Yao, she had doubts about it——

 

She had never thought about this before, but in the final analysis, Pei Siyuan is also a person living in a novel like her. Is it possible… Pei Siyuan is actually controlled by the plot to make those behaviours?

 

But it shouldn’t…

 

Jiang Yao said that she discovered the existence of the plot a long time ago, but there were very few moments of conscious awareness. What about Pei Siyuan? He is so smart, can’t he find out?

 

The answer, she thought, he would surely find out.

 

Pei Siyuan will definitely find strangeness in the details of his life, and she has reasonable reasons to suspect that Pei Siyuan might have woke up much earlier than Jiang Yao, and the time he can have self-awareness will not be as fleeting as Jiang Yao.

 

So…

 

Did Pei Siyuan really like Jiang Yao, or was he controlled by the plot? How much self-awareness will he have when he is under the control of the plot?

 

Gu Ningyou was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice Pei Siyuan entering the room. She didn’t realize that Pei Siyuan had been standing behind her for a long time until she was ready to go back to bed to rest and looked up at the figure of the man shown in the floor-to-ceiling window.

 

When did he come?

 

Seeing her turn around, the man who had been standing silently behind her made a move, he stepped forward, opened his arms and embraced her. Gu Ningyou’s height only reached his chest, so he lightly rested his head on the top of her hair with ease.

 

“Yuan?”

 

Such an intimate position made her to hear the drumming against his chest so clearly that Gu Ningyou felt her heartbeat go haywire for a second.

 

“Don’t move, let me hold for a while.” Pei Siyuan held down the back of her head to keep her from leaving, “I’m so tired.”

 

Gu Ningyou heard a bit of exhaustion in his voice, which also made her eyes widen in surprise –  Pei Siyuan always behaved like he had no weaknesses and was indestructible, why would he show his exhaustion today?

 

In this situation, she actually had the illusion that Pei Siyuan was acting like a spoiled, tired child.

 

Spoiled? Tired? When these words came to her mind, she immediately shook her head in her heart. How could such a thing as spoiled and tired appear on Pei Siyuan?

 

Gu Ningyou still couldn’t help but ask with concern: “Is it because you’re too busy at work?”

It must be, after all, he is busy all day long, and they haven’t said a few words even at night these days, just simply lying together cuddling into sleep.

 

Pei Siyuan didn’t answer her, so Gu Ningyou wisely didn’t ask more questions. Pei Siyuan’s temperament is such that he doesn’t like to talk much. When he doesn’t want to talk, no matter how much she asks, he won’t open his mouth.

 

She and Pei Siyuan rarely have such a simple moment of embracing each other. The silence did not make the atmosphere between them awkward. On the contrary, there seemed to be a touch of warmth flowing between them.

 

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Siyuan let go of her slightly, lowered his head and stared into her eyes: “Do you have any questions you want to ask me? Ask.”

 

How did he know?

 

Gu Ningyou suddenly thought of Xu Lin. Xu Lin was present when she and Jiang Yao met at the mall during the day – did she tell Pei Siyuan about it?

 

So, Pei Siyuan knew that she had already met Jiang Yao?

 

“I…Yes, I do have a question I want to ask you.” Never expecting that Pei Siyuan would be the one who took the initiative to mention it, Gu Ningyou was a little flustered, she hesitated for a while, and asked euphemistically, “Did you also find out a long time ago?”

 

Pei Siyuan’s eyes flashed with a bit of doubt: “Found what?”

 

“…”

 

Gu Ningyou choked on his rhetorical question, the word “plot”, of course, she couldn’t say it directly. During the day, when she talked with Jiang Yao, she always spoke very euphemistically, but at that time they could understand each other’s meaning…

 

She thought Pei Siyuan could also understand it.

 

Gu Ningyou decided to be more straightforward: “I found that there are many things that are not right.”

 

Pei Siyuan still looked at her with a puzzled gaze: “I can’t understand what you’re saying.”

 

The doubts in his eyes were too real, as if he really didn’t understand her words at all, Gu Ningyou almost believed him, but she quickly thought of what Jiang Yao said –

 

He’s pretending, he’s acting.

 

Yes, Pei Siyuan has always been such a person…. who keeps a low profile and never shows off his fangs…  Just now, he took the initiative to ask, how could he not understand the real meaning she wanted to express in her words?

 

“Don’t pretend—” Pei Siyuan didn’t hold her very hard, so she pushed him away with force, “You obviously know!”

 

“What pretend and not pretend? What should I know?”

 

Perhaps because he didn’t expect her action, Pei Siyuan was pushed back a step by her. Gu Ningyou didn’t know how to describe the look in Pei Siyuan’s eyes – surprised, unexpected, and seemingly a little at loss.

 

For a moment, Gu Ningyou didn’t know whether he was acting or showing his real emotions.

 

Didn’t he asked that question to make it clear? What else is there to act?

 

“Well, what did you want me to ask you just now?” 

Pei Siyuan replied, “I thought you wanted to ask about Jiang Yao, I heard from Xu Lin that you met her during the day.”

It was rare for Pei Siyuan to say such a long sentence, coupled with his sincere tone and sincere eyes, made Gu Ningyou doubt her own judgment-

 Could it be that she was really wrong about him?

 Or, her speculations were not entirely correct?
