Father and son looked up together and saw an Audi A4 slowly come to a stop.
The car door opened, warm interior light spilled out, and an elegant, graceful figure stepped out from the driver's seat.
The bodycon skirt outlined smooth curves, her long hair slightly curled and slid down her shoulders.
"Zhang Ye, I'm here."
Pei Zi's clear voice carried a faint hint of dissatisfaction and resentment.
Zhang Zhenghong's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze, his gaze shifting back and forth between Pei Zi and Zhang Ye, revealing a meaningful look.
He was stunned for a moment, then snorted with a laugh, his tone teasing: "brat, you've been hiding it deep!"
Just a moment ago he was emphasizing that he couldn't find a girlfriend, and in the blink of an eye, a mature and beautiful woman shows up at his door?
Zhang Ye's mouth twitched slightly, choosing to ignore his father's misunderstanding, and continued eating with his head down as if nothing had happened.
But Zhang Zhenghong sensed something was off, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Although he was from the countryside, he wasn't a fool; he knew the value of a luxury car.
A woman who could drive a top-trim A4 was definitely not from an ordinary family.
Combined with Zhang Ye's recent sudden claim that he had made money and sent forty thousand yuan home.
This matter... was worth scrutinizing.
Zhang Zhenghong put down his chopsticks, his tone heavier: "She's the one keeping you, right? She came to find you late at night, and you're still sitting here like an idiot?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ye almost spat out the rice in his mouth.
His dad had really mistaken Pei Zi for a rich woman keeping him.
Before Zhang Ye could move, Zhang Zhenghong had already stood up and walked straight to the door.
Zhang Ye sighed slightly. What could he do? This woman Pei Zi was just too persistent!
He had already clearly refused to teach her massage techniques, but she simply didn't believe it.
Now she even... wanted to move in directly; this was clearly a plan for long-term observation and learning of his techniques!
At this moment, Zhang Zhenghong had already reached the car.
He greeted Pei Zi amiably: "You must be Xiao Ye's girlfriend? I'm his father."
"Ah? Uncle, hello!" Pei Zi was also taken aback, her face slightly flushed, and greeted him politely.
Seeing Zhang Ye's father misunderstand, she opened her mouth to explain: "Uncle, I'm not..."
Before she could finish, Zhang Zhenghong smiled and waved at Zhang Ye, then left the shop without hesitation.
"Hey..." Pei Zi was embarrassed and didn't dare call out to Zhang Zhenghong.
Zhang Ye felt something was wrong and couldn't help shouting: "Dad, it's really not what you think. It's so late, where are you going?"
Zhang Zhenghong didn't turn back.
Zhang Ye: "..."
How could Zhang Ye not understand his father's meaning? They were both men.
Moreover, Pei Zi's purpose was too obvious, driving over to find him in the middle of the night.
His father had seen through it at a glance and decisively "facilitated" his "good deed."
This woman Pei Zi was really as stubborn as a science and engineering student.
Once she set her mind on studying his massage techniques, she threw caution to the wind and wanted to move into his shop.
This clearly showed she intended to study his skills for a long time.
During this period, if Zhang Ye really touched her, then their "couple relationship" would be confirmed.
In this way, she could justifiably hang around him every day and openly learn his Tuina techniques.
If he didn't touch her... she wouldn't lose out either; she could take advantage of living together to secretly learn the techniques through daily exposure.
She had already let go of all reservations and was playing a long-term strategy with him.
No matter how he responded, as long as she shamelessly refused to leave, from her perspective, she would always come out ahead!
This woman was decisive... but she still thought too simply.
The so-called massage techniques were all his ability; how could Pei Zi possibly learn them?
Zhang Ye sighed inwardly, cleared the table, and swept the shop.
Pei Zi didn't say anything either; she just took her luggage out of the trunk and carried it directly to the second-floor bedroom.
An hour later, Zhang Ye turned off the lights and also went up to the second-floor bedroom.
The layout of the second floor was similar to the first floor, a long and narrow space that could theoretically be divided into two rooms.
Smack!
The light turned on, and the room's layout was already quite different.
What was originally a simple and casual little nest now had a touch of... feminine warmth.
A clothes rack had been added in the corner; besides his own clothes, there were several women's dresses, a denim jacket, and even a white lab coat...
On the shoe rack, next to his original three pairs of shoes, there were several women's shoe boxes.
Pink sneakers, white flats, glossy high heels...
This clearly looked like a permanent residence!
On the desk, there was also a small makeup mirror, with skincare products, facial cleanser, and a set of pink toothpaste and toothbrush beside it.
A faint, delicate fragrance filled the air, and even the room's atmosphere had changed.
This was clearly a bedroom for a couple living together!
What left Zhang Ye most speechless was...
Across from his bed, on the floor mat by the window, Pei Zi was already asleep!
Wrapped in a pink cartoon blanket, her hair messy, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she looked fast asleep.
Damn!
This woman really feared nothing; she clearly didn't take him seriously at all!
Looking at her appearance, Zhang Ye's mouth curved slightly.
Shamelessly moving in? Heh...
"I can't touch, and I can't not touch, then I..." Zhang Ye only said half, deliberately raising his voice.
Pei Zi wasn't asleep; she was still feeling a bit uneasy.
No matter how straightforward her personality was, suddenly moving into a young man's room was not only presumptuous but also reckless...
After all, they weren't lovers.
But she had already prepared herself mentally; no matter how Zhang Ye reacted, she would accept it.
She knew that being able to stay by Zhang Ye's side and observe his daily life would allow her to learn something.
But when she heard Zhang Ye's unfinished words, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Then what?
What did Zhang Ye want to do?!
Her goal was simple: if Zhang Ye touched her, he would have to take responsibility.
If he didn't, she could still stay at the massage shop to observe and learn.
She had thought of both possibilities and had prepared before coming.
She wasn't sure if Zhang Ye had a way to counter her open scheme.
After a few days of contact, Pei Zi knew that this kid Zhang Ye was young but very shrewd and never let himself be taken advantage of.
If Zhang Ye really had a way, wouldn't she be walking into the lion's den?
Pei Zi was about to react when she saw Zhang Ye had already taken off his jacket, revealing a solid physique.
From full chest muscles to distinct six-pack abs, every part showed his strong body that was usually hidden by clothes.
Zhang Ye was clearly the type who looked thin in clothes but had muscle when undressed.
"Zhang Ye, what are you trying to do?"
Pei Zi quickly sat up, crossed her legs, and stared intently at Zhang Ye's movements, a wary light flickering in her eyes.
At this moment, she also noticed that her movement of sitting up made Zhang Ye involuntarily look at her.
