After Forced Marriage [Female A Male O] (ChatGPT translation)

Chapter 38. Sink 01 May 27th.

Yang Xingwu had something to do, so Fu Dongni went to pick up Pei Hengzhi in her own aircraft.

When they arrived near the research institute, she didn't immediately get off. Instead, she activated the air purification system on the aircraft and cleaned up all the smoke smell on her body before opening the cabin door.

Pei Hengzhi had been in meetings almost all day today.

The research institute had just sent people to bring Ihctil back from Taliao Mountain. The institute was discussing whether Ihctil could be repaired again, and whether the capital star's combat mechas should be put on standby.

However, Fu Dongni had urgent matters to attend to, so she quickly finished her work and called Pei Zheng ahead of time.

When Pei Hengzhi came out of the institute, he saw Fu Dongni's aircraft parked in the public parking area outside from afar.

After hesitating for a while, the person in the aircraft still didn't show any intention of getting off.

His steps forward also came to a sudden stop.

Fortunately, Fu Dongni didn't make him wait too long. When he looked up again, she was already walking towards him.

"Have you eaten?"Fu Dongni stood in front of Pei Heng, having adjusted her emotions. She looked at Pei Heng, who was dressed in a white uniform, and asked, "If we haven't eaten yet, let's find a place to eat before we go."

The eerie atmosphere at Pei's house during their last meal was unforgettable, and she didn't have the energy to deal with it tonight.

"I'm not hungry," Pei Heng knew what she was worried about, and he slightly curved his lips, taking her hand. "Let's go, your matter is more important."

As soon as his palm touched hers, he saw her fingers tremble, and she made a soft "hiss" sound as if in pain.

Pei Heng immediately held her wrist and lifted it up. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a burn mark on her palm, deep red in color and showing signs of ulceration.

He furrowed his brow and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

She didn't feel it before, but now the wound was suddenly painful and difficult to bear. Fu Dongni had to tell the truth, "I wasn't paying attention and accidentally burned myself with a cigarette."

Pei Heng sighed softly, gently pulling her towards the aircraft, and casually asked, "You smoke so much because Ye Qi's matter is very tricky?"

Fu Dongni was taken aback, tilting her head to smell the fabric of his military uniform. "You can still smell the smoke?"

"I didn't smell the smoke," Pei Heng frowned, "I just guessed."

"Come on, now everyone knows how to trick me." Fu Dongni took advantage of the situation and circled behind him, using her uninjured hand to rub his hair. "Who did you learn that from?"

Her tone was teasing, intentionally lightening the mood.

The two of them had just boarded the aircraft when Pei Hengzhi took out a spare medical kit from the storage compartment and said lightly, "No need to learn."

He understood Fu Dongni better than he understood himself.

But he didn't say that, instead he dipped a cotton swab into the burn ointment and carefully applied it to the injured area on her palm, adjusting the pressure bit by bit.

The cabin door closed, leaving only the two of them in the cramped space.

Pei Hengzhi's voice was emotionless as he spoke, his head down, his warm breath blowing on her skin. His long, straight eyelashes concealed his expression, giving her an inexplicable sense of fragility.
