Chapter 226: Shorter than taller

The two people who came in also saw Tao Zhen.

Jin Min showed disdain and said to the girl in the store: "I said your store really lets everyone in, and they even eat and drink."

Zhang Xiu glanced at Tao Zhen awkwardly.

Tao Zhen stood up and wanted to go out, but was blocked by another person.

"Miss Tao, long time no see."

Tao Zhen looked up at the man. He was good-looking, but his face was full of gloom. One eye was covered with a black eyepatch, and the other eye showed a fierce light.

Jin Shijie!
Tao Zhen remembered that unpleasant experience when he saw him.

She said sullenly: "Get out of the way."

Jin Shijie smiled and said, "What if I don't let you?"

Jin Min frowned and said suspiciously: "Brother, do you know her?"

Jin Shijie smiled but said: "Of course we know each other. Thanks to Miss Tao and Pei Zhan for saving Miss Zhou before."

Jin Min didn't know whether he believed it or not. He looked at Tao Zhen and then Jin Shijie suspiciously.

Tao Zhen stood at the door, feeling very uncomfortable being so close to Jin Shijie again.

Even though she later acted like she didn't care, as if nothing had happened, for a girl, that experience was a nightmare. After that incident, Tao Zhen couldn't sleep well for several months.

Tao Zhen looked at Jin Shijie coldly. She didn't want to show her timidity, but her fingers under her sleeves couldn't help but tremble.

Jin Shijie obviously didn't want anyone to know about his glorious deeds, so he got out of the way. When Tao Zhen passed by, he said warmly: "See you again, maybe!"

Tao Zhen went out. The sun was shining brightly, but she felt cold and shivering all over.

Jin Shijie!
She turned back and stared gloomily at Yun Sanniang's shop.

"Tao Zhen?"

Yun Sanniang looked at her worriedly: "Why are you standing outside and not going in? Your face doesn't look good."

Tao Zhen turned around and saw that it was Yun Sanniang. She shook her head: "I'm fine."

Yun Sanniang's complexion was actually not good either, and both of them had something on their mind.

"I'll come find you another day."

...

Tao Zhen was distracted several times. If it had been before, Pei Zhan would have asked what was wrong?But now he didn't. The next day, he went to ask Ms. Liu.

Mrs. Liu didn't know that Tao Zhen had met Jin Shijie, and thought that Tao Zhen was just tired recently.

Pei Zhan didn't think so. He knew Tao Zhen. No matter how tired Tao Zhen was, he would never be in this state.

He went to Ningzhou City and met Yun Sanniang. Unfortunately, Yun Sanniang was not in good condition that day and did not know the situation. When he arrived, Zhang Xiu, a girl from Yun Sanniang's shop, said: "I remember, that day I met Miss Tao. A brother and sister, the older brother even talked to Miss Tao, saying something like "Long time no see," and then Miss Tao's expression changed."

Pei Zhan frowned: "What are those two people like?"

"That lady came here to buy clothes with another lady before. Is that young man..."

Zhang Xiu couldn't tell, he just felt uncomfortable looking at it.

"He's blind in one eye."

Pei Zhan knew who that person was.

Jin Shijie!
Last time he sent someone to follow Tao Zhen, and Pei Zhan said he would solve it, but nothing happened after that. Jin Shijie happened to leave Ningzhou, so Pei Zhan put the matter aside. Who knew that Jin Shijie would dare to come back.

Pei Zhan lowered his eyes and said, "Don't tell Tao Zhen about this."

He left after saying that.

Zhang Xiu looked at his back and said, "Sister Yun, who is he?"

Yun Sanniang said: "Don't ask around when you shouldn't ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man entered the shop. Yun Sanniang's face changed when she saw him. Zhang Xiu felt that today was a good day, and every man he saw was more handsome than the last.

Yunyi walked around the store, turned to look at Yun Sanniang, and smiled innocently: "Sister, I want to make a dress. What kind of fabric do you think is good?"...

Tao Zhen was careful for a few days but didn't notice any movement from Jin Shijie. She was unsure.I wonder what this person wants to do?
However, since she had blinded one of his eyes and indirectly interfered with his marriage, Jin Shijie could not let it go so easily. Even she would not be able to swallow this breath.

But after she waited for a few days, nothing happened. Maybe it was a chance encounter that day.

"Why are you so restless? Did something happen to you?" Pei Zhan asked seemingly casually.

Tao Zhen raised her head and met Pei Zhan's eyes. She remembered the unhappy conversation she had with Pei Zhan last time, and felt a little entangled in her heart. Should she tell Pei Zhan?

Let's talk about it, will it look like she's making a fuss? After all, Jin Shijie didn't do anything, maybe it was a chance encounter that day, but if she doesn't tell her, she really doesn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a long time, Tao Zhen said, "I met Jin Shijie."

Pei Zhan: "Did we meet by chance?"

Tao Zhen told what happened that day.

After speaking, she said: "I don't know if he will do anything else. Will he cause trouble to you again?"

Pei Zhan looked at her: "You seem to be afraid of causing trouble to others?"

Tao Zhen nodded. She really didn't like to trouble others, maybe it was a habit she had developed since she was a child.

The aunt at the orphanage always dislikes troublesome children.

Pei Zhan said: "Aren't we a family?"

Tao Zhen was stunned. This was the first time Pei Zhan said such words.

A family!
Tao Zhen felt dizzy and a little flattered.

Pei Zhan suddenly patted her on the head: "Leave this matter to me, you don't have to think about anything."

Tao Zhen was even more dizzy. He didn't know whether it was because Pei Zhan was suddenly so gentle and easy to talk to, or because of his actions just now.

But why did he pat her on the head?

It looks very intimate, but it doesn't feel like I'm photographing a person, but some small animal.

Tao Zhen stood up, but she was not tall. Standing in front of Pei Zhan, she was still half a head shorter.

Pei Zhan looked at her with a half-smile, and this expression diluted Tao Zhen's touch because of those words he just said.

"What's wrong?" Pei Zhan reached out and patted her head easily.

Tao Zhen "..."

Tao Zhen frowned, and she turned around and stood on the steps under the eaves, so that she and Pei Zhan were barely even.

I feel much happier.

However, Pei Zhan was also standing on the steps, reaching out to pat her head again. Tao Zhen dodged and looked at Pei Zhan, who was more than half a head taller than her. She walked to the yard, moved a stool and put it on the ground, and stood. Go up...

It was a good height, and now she could see the top of Pei Zhan's head.

I really felt much happier.

Pei Zhan almost laughed out loud.

"Azhen, what are you doing?" Mrs. Pei and Pei Heng came in from the outside and looked at Tao Zhen standing on the stool in surprise.

Tao Zhen "..."

It was really hard for Pei Zhan to hold back his laughter.

Tao Zhen was a little embarrassed. Thinking of her behavior just now, she felt a little embarrassed. She didn't understand why she had done such a childish thing just now.

She laughed dryly and wanted to jump off the stool, and then...

click...

It’s just that small!
The height of the stool was no more than two feet. Pei Heng could jump off it without any problem, but she was unlucky. She sprained her foot when she jumped from such a low place.

Mrs. Pei and Pei Heng were startled, but Pei Zhan was the first to react, picking up Tao Zhen and entering the room...
