Endless Fall

Chapter 71: Introducing Someone to Her

“Jiaojiao, you can’t have such thoughts.”

Pei Yilan was afraid that she would give up on love, so she was even more determined to introduce… a man to her.

She said in all seriousness, “What you said is only what will happen in the beginning stage. When he gets to know you better, he will definitely find a common topic to talk to you about.”

“I still think it’s troublesome.”

“How about you take a look at his photo first?”

Lin Jiao had no choice but to take the phone to look at the photo.

She pressed two fingers on the screen and zoomed in. “Is he 1.8 meters tall?”

“I think so.” Pei Yilan thought for a moment and used Pei Zhi as a metric. “He’s only half a head shorter than Uncle.”

“Normally speaking, it’s about sixteen to twenty centimeters from the chin to the top of the head. The middle value, eighteen centimeters, after being divided by two, will be nine centimeters.”

“What’s wrong with nine centimeters?”

Lin Jiao said patiently, “Uncle is 1.88 meters tall. 1.88 meters minus 9 centimeters gives you 1.79 meters.”

Pei Yilan followed her train of thought and stared at the screen in confusion. “But I feel that he’s more than 1.79 meters tall.”

“That’s because he’s wearing shoes.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

Lin Jiao picked up her milk tea and took two sips.

She looked at Pei Yilan, who was studying the photo, and rejected her again with the excuse of a height issue. “Yilan, I like men above 185.”

Pei Yilan was lost in thought.

She quickly thought of a few people in her memory and finally came up with one who met the requirement. “What do you think of Yan Jingshun?”

“Who’s Yan Jingshun?”

“The school hunk. He’s two years older than us.”

“I don’t remember much about him.” In the past, Lin Jiao rarely paid attention to the school hunk competition.

“He helped you before. Have you already forgotten about it?”

“Help me with what?”

Pei Yilan tried to help her recall it. “One time, you were almost hit by a basketball. He helped you block it.”

Lin Jiao still could not remember.

She asked, “Are you two close?”

“We met twice when we were in school, but we are not especially close.”

“And yet you want to introduce someone you don’t know well to me.”

“He has a good reputation.” Pei Yilan sent him a WeChat message. “And he meets your requirements. He’s 185.”

“I don’t like the kind that is too popular.”

Lin Jiao could always find an excuse to reject her.

She pretended to be troubled. “He must have many suitors around him. I don’t want to fight with them.”

“As long as he likes you, he will naturally get rid of all the girls around him. Why are you worried about this?”

“You never know.”

Pei Yilan was lost for words.

She tapped the keyboard on the screen. “I asked him, and he said he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

“You are really fast, aren’t you?”

“Matchmaking is all about seizing the opportunity.”

Lin Jiao was speechless.

She opened WeChat and saw a friend request.

She rubbed her eyebrows. “Can I ignore it?”

“Be friends with him first.” Pei Yilan’s thoughts were very simple. “It’s fine if you two are not compatible. It’s not like you have to date him right away.”

“Then promise me you will not nag me to date him.”

“I won’t nag you!”

Only then did Lin Jiao press the accept button.

After introducing herself to Yan Jingshun, she was no longer interested in continuing the conversation and said to Pei Yilan, “Let’s go back to the company. I still want to sleep for a while.”

“Alright.” Pei Yilan held her hand and walked out.

She bought two bouquets of flowers at the door and handed one of them to her. “Jiaojiao, your love is coming.”

Lin Jiao smiled but did not say anything.

She took the bouquet and stepped on the fallen maple leaves, walking towards Sheng Heng under the golden sun

Little did she know that every step she took at this moment would bring her a step closer to her true love.

On the day of the weekend gathering, Pei Zhi found out that Pei Yilan had introduced a boyfriend to Lin Jiao.

With a dark expression, he pushed the door open and went out to sit alone in the garden opposite the private room.

The early autumn wind was chilly.

Wearing only a black shirt, he let the night breeze from all directions enter his collar and swept over every inch of his skin.

“President Pei, stop overthinking.”

Shen Yi walked to his side and sat down. “Lin Jiao doesn’t even plan to date him. Why are you so anxious?”

“She’s not dating him now doesn’t mean she will never date him.”

“You’ll be with her in the future.” Shen Yi poured red wine into his glass.

“Easier said than done.” Pei Zhi took the wine glass from him and drank it at one go.

A few drops of red wine slid down his chin and soaked his collar.

“I’m not joking with you.” Shen Yi tapped the cigarette box with his finger. “Lin Jiao’s attitude towards you is different from before.”

“What does that prove?”

“That proves that you will be more likely to be her boyfriend than anyone else.”

“Indeed.” Zhou Yanshen, who appeared out of nowhere, patted his shoulder comfortingly. “I heard you’re going to Paris?”

“That’s the plan.”

Pei Zhi put down the empty glass.

He raised his legs and placed them on the other chair. “But I’m not sure if there’s been a change of plan.”

“Have you booked the flight tickets?”

“Not yet.”

“I’ll book it for you.” Zhou Yanshen did not want to see him so troubled, so he decided to help.

He took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the flight information at the end of the month. “Give me your ID number.”

“You want me to take action first and tell her later?”

“Haven’t you discussed it?”

“Pei Yilan is still thinking about it.” At the mention of her, Pei Zhi frowned.

“Why do you care about her?” Zhou Yanshen picked a direct flight on the evening of the 30th.

In order to dispel his worries, he said, “I’ll help you deal with her at that time.”

Shen Yi thought this was a good idea too.

He moved the chair closer to Pei Zhi. “This is a rare opportunity. Make good use of it.”

“I know.”

Pei Zhi took a deep breath.

He gave Zhou Yanshen his ID number and sent him Qu Shao’s. “Do you remember Jiaojiao’s ID number?”

“I remember.”

Zhou Yanshen booked three tickets. “She will receive a message. I’ll go in and tell her first.”

“Okay.” Pei Zhi lit a cigarette.

The moment the cigarette burned out, he stood up and returned to the private room with Shen Yi.

A singing voice sounded when the door was pushed open.

Lin Jiao, who was sitting in the corner, looked up and met his long and narrow eyes.

Seeing him sit down beside her, she leaned to the right and whispered into his ear, “Uncle, Brother Yanshen has booked a flight for us.”

“He told me about it.”

“Did you receive the message?”

Pei Zhi nodded.

He looked at her face and observed her expression. “I think he forgot to book one for Pei Yilan.”

“I just asked Yilan. She’s not going.”

“Why?”

“She has a date with Jiang Ye.”

The environment was too noisy, so Lin Jiao had to be very close to him. “They’re going skiing.”

Pei Zhi felt a warm breath on his face and he felt like he was being tickled by a feather.

He tilted his head. “Then forget it.”
