In the past, when she hadn't paid attention to it, she might not have paid attention to it.
But once she started paying attention, she realized that she was slowly being devoured by a cicada.
Unknowingly, she had been entangled in an invisible net.
Jiang Ran didn't like this feeling.
There could be no reason for liking or disliking someone, but it couldn't be a deliberate habit.
Jiang Ran knew her own heart very well. She knew that she had a slight liking for Pei Huai now, but it wasn't to the point where she couldn't live without him.
Pei Huai had slowly seeped into her life, giving her the illusion that she couldn't live without Pei Huai, that she was very happy with Pei Huai around. Jiang Ran didn't like it.
Pei Huai didn't actually spend too much time washing the dishes until he came back.
But when he came back, he could clearly feel that Jiang Ran's mood was different.
Jiang Ran was still sitting there quietly. Even her posture hadn't changed.
But he could tell that she had distanced herself from him.
Pei Huai stood there for a while before he walked over and sat opposite Jiang Ran. He didn't sit beside her like before.
The moment Pei Huai sat down, Jiang Ran raised her head and looked straight at him.
"It's been hard on you during this period."
Pei Huai shook his head and said, "It's not hard at all."
"It's good that you don't think it's hard. I haven't been to North City in a long time, and I want to go there and take a look.
I'm going to apply for leave for Xiao Jing and bring him along.
You don't have to pick up and fetch Xiao Jing, so it won't be hard on you for the next few days. "
Pei Huai's face was expressionless when he heard Jiang Ran's words.
After a while, Pei Huai asked softly, "Why did you suddenly make this decision?"
"Because I'm used to it, not because I like it."
After that, Jiang Ran stood up and walked out.
Jiang Ran knew that what Pei Huai had done during this period of time was not wrong.
However, she did not like this feeling.
If Pei Huai really liked her and wanted her to be with him, he could say it out loud.
But Pei Huai didn't say anything.
She didn't even know what Pei Huai was thinking.
Did Pei Huai really like her, or did he just think that the two of them could go on like this?
He felt that the one-year period was almost up, so he wanted her to form a habit in advance. That way, when the one-year period was up, she would be reluctant to leave.
Jiang Ran didn't want to think too much about Pei Huai, nor did she want to speculate maliciously, but she wanted to calm herself down.
It was not difficult to leave this place and go to North City.
Pei Yang was in charge of the snack shop, Pei Shanshan was in charge of the snacks, and even Xia Qiufang was in charge of the small wardrobe.
Jiang Ran only needed to let the three of them know and make the necessary arrangements for them. Then, she could leave with peace of mind.
That night, Jiang Ran told the Pei family about her plans to go to North City.
This news came too suddenly and everyone in the Pei family was shocked.
Only Pei Jing's little face was filled with surprise after the initial shock.
