"Yes...... It's Pei Zi's brother. Cheng Meng whispered.

As soon as the words came out, she covered her face shyly.

Tang Xiao almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "The Brother Pei Zi you said can't be ...... Pei Yuansheng, right?"

In Tang Xiao's skeptical gaze, Cheng Meng nodded slightly.

"Poof......" Tang Xiao couldn't help laughing, although she didn't want to laugh in front of Cheng Meng very much, but when she thought of Cheng Meng, a little girl, who regarded Pei Yuansheng as the prince she imagined in her childhood, she felt that this matter was so funny.

Pei Yuansheng's face, how many little girls have been harmed!

Tang smiled, and Cheng Meng, who was already embarrassed, suddenly became even more embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, I actually ...... In fact, I just liked Brother Pei Zi when I was very young, but I didn't have it when I grew up, don't laugh at me......" she said with a blushing face.

Tang Xiao cleared his throat and tried his best to put on a serious face: "I'm sorry Mengmeng, I didn't mean to, I just ...... That, it's nothing, Mengmeng, why did you like your Pei Zi brother when you were a child? Is there any other reason besides that he is good-looking?"

Cheng Meng didn't want to say without thinking: "It's because Brother Pei Zi is very good-looking! Like a fairy brother, and he is very gentle with girls, and he laughs very specially...... It makes people want to see it but don't dare to look at it. ”

"Ahem......" Tang Xiao said secretly that it is indeed Cheng Meng's first love, even if many people mention Pei Yuansheng now, they will say that this guy is very attentive, but in Cheng Meng's mind, he is still the beautiful boy + fairy brother who is good no matter what.

Cheng Meng didn't notice Tang Xiao's smiling expression, she seemed to be caught up in her own memories.

"When I was a child, every time Brother Pei Zi came to my house, he would bring me small toys, as well as small bows or something, and Brother Pei Zi was very skillful, and he would personally braid me with pigtails, sister-in-law, you know, my eldest brother is more serious in front of me and my second brother, and rarely plays with us, but Brother Pei Zi will, especially for me, Brother Pei Zi is always very patient and gentle. Cheng Meng held his face and said, "Hey...... When I was a child, I thought that when I grew up, I would marry Brother Peizi. ”

"......" Tang Xiao almost squirted again, she pursed her lips and held back a smile, and asked cautiously: "Then why, didn't you take the initiative to contact him when you grew up? Your brother Pei Zi is still not married, if you confess to him, maybe he will accept you." ”

"My eldest brother won't allow it. Cheng Meng sighed and said.

"What?" Tang Xiao was stunned, she never expected that Cheng Lie would know about this.

"I don't know how the eldest brother saw it, anyway, one day when I was fifteen years old, the eldest brother suddenly walked into my room and told me that Brother Pei Zi is not a good match, let me stop liking Brother Pei Zi, and don't see Brother Pei Zi again, and he also said that he will not let Brother Pei Zi come to play with me in the future. ”

For this matter, Cheng Meng seems to be angry.

"Didn't you ask your eldest brother why?" Tang Xiao was very curious, she thought that with the relationship between Cheng Lie and Pei Yuansheng, maybe she would very much hope that Cheng Meng would marry Pei Yuansheng.

"The eldest brother said that Brother Pei Zi has a heavy burden on his body and will be very tired in the future. Cheng Meng thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, since then, Brother Pei Zi has really rarely appeared in front of me, in fact, I know that Brother Pei Zi just sees that I am young and loves to stick to him, so he helps me take care of me like a sister, Brother Pei Zi has no feelings for me at all." ”

"I believe that. Tang Xiao groaned, "Although he sometimes pretends to be indecent in front of outsiders, in fact, he is a very decent person." ”

"yes. Cheng Meng thought so, remembered the past, and still said with wistfulness, "Brother Pei Zi is really a very good person." However, I still don't understand what the eldest brother said, why Pei Zi's brother has a heavy burden on him, why he will be very tired in the future?

Under the soft light, the girl's face was full of confusion.

For her, Pei Yuansheng is her first love in the true sense.

But her first love was just killed by a reason she couldn't understand. How could this not confuse her.

Tang Xiao tried to guess Cheng Lie's psychology, and then contacted what she knew about Pei Yuansheng, she said: "Perhaps, because of the early death of Pei Yuansheng's father, your eldest brother has to support the huge Pei family alone, so he doesn't worry about handing you over to a man who has to carry the entire family on his back." ”

"Is that so?" Cheng Meng was still a little uneasy, "At that time, I hated my eldest brother, but my eldest brother told me that I would soon forget Brother Peizi." ”

"Didn't you forget it quickly?" Tang Xiao touched Cheng Meng's head, "You see, you fell in love with Bai Luning later." ”

"That's because Bai Luning has the shadow of Brother Pei Zi on his body. Cheng Meng let out a sigh.

"Good Mengmeng, your eldest brother is for your good. Tang Xiao comforted, "Look, aren't you also very happy now?"

Cheng Meng nodded and said, "I don't feel unhappy, and I don't blame my eldest brother, it's just that I always feel a little regretful." ”

"Youth always leaves a lot of regrets. Tang said with a smile.

"Maybe. Cheng Meng raised her head and looked at Tang Xiao, "I heard the second brother inadvertently mention it, saying that sister-in-law, you have a good relationship with Brother Pei Zi, so sister-in-law, can you tell me, is Brother Pei Zi okay now?"

For this question, Tang Xiao didn't know how to answer.

Is Pei Yuansheng doing now?

She really couldn't say it, and besides, it had been a while since she last woke up and contacted Pei Yuansheng.

She only knows that he is with Jin Xiaoyi now, and with Jin Xiaoyi taking care of him, he shouldn't have any problems, if there is really anything bad, Jin Xiaoyi will definitely tell her.

Based on Cheng Lie's reasons, she is deliberately reducing her direct contact with Pei Yuansheng.

"Mengmeng, what do you think, what is a good life?" Tang Xiao thought for a while and asked.

She needs to know the definition of the word "good life" in the mind of Cheng Meng, a little girl.

"Of course, I was happy – safe, healthy and happy. Cheng Meng replied quickly.

Tang Xiao was a little surprised by Cheng Meng's answer, she didn't expect that a young girl in her twenties would have such a short and precise definition of happiness.

So, if Pei Yuansheng's life is viewed by this definition, can he be called "happy" now?

As the absolute leader of the Pei Consortium, he naturally doesn't have to worry about security, so he can be regarded as safe.

As for health – how can a person with congenital heart disease, a person who may not be destined to live a long life, be considered healthy.

As for happiness - is he happy?

She had no way of knowing.

All she knew was that he was lonely, because he had a secret hidden in him, and he couldn't let anyone know about his condition, but his condition was already so serious that as long as someone stayed with him every day, he would not be able to hide it.

As a result, apart from a few people he absolutely trusts, he rarely has intimate relationships with people, even with his mother.

Suddenly, she thought of Uncle Yan's death again, Pei Yuansheng must still be kept in the dark about this matter, right?

Sooner or later, she thought, he would know that the person who cared most about him in the world had quietly left, and at that time, how would he bear it?

He wasn't happy. She thought.

However, in the face of Cheng Meng's expectant gaze, she couldn't tell her the answer that Pei Yuansheng was not happy.

Cheng Meng still likes her brother Peizi, although that kind of liking is no longer the little girl's admiration for the prince of her dreams, but she still cares about him, cares about him, and even secretly asks Tang Xiao about his news.

She must have hoped that her brother Peizi would be happy, and if she knew that he was not happy or unhappy, she would probably feel sad for him.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you speak?" Tang Xiao's silence gave Cheng Meng a bad premonition. She looked nervously at her sister-in-law with her big sparkling eyes, hoping that her sister-in-law would give a good answer right away.

However, Tang Xiao thought about it again and again, but he still didn't know whether to tell her the truth or give her a white lie.

She doesn't like to lie, but if she tells the truth, Cheng Meng will inevitably continue to ask why he is not happy.

Tang Xiao was in a dilemma, realizing that he had made another mistake, that is, he should not have accepted Cheng Meng's secret in the first place.

"Brother Pei Zi is not happy, is he?" Cheng Meng was a smart girl, and from Tang Xiao's silence, she got the answer.

"Mengmeng, everyone has their own life, you have to believe that he will try to make himself happier and happier, besides, he has people around him who love him deeply and have been doing their best to take care of him. Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Meng and comforted him softly, "Don't worry about him, if he knows that you are so worried about him and troubled by his affairs, he will definitely not be happy to see this." ”

"I see. Cheng Meng lowered her eyes and didn't ask any more.

I have to say that Cheng Meng is really a very sensible and very smart girl.

Seeing that it was not early, Cheng Meng took the initiative to pack up the lunch box on the table, then took a shower and changed into pajamas, and lay down beside Tang Xiao.

The bed is very large, and it is more than enough to sleep Cheng Lie and Tang Xiao on weekdays, not to mention Cheng Meng and Tang Xiao, two women with normal figures.

Cheng Meng lay on the bed, trying to fall asleep, but found that he still couldn't sleep.

She turned to look sideways at her sister-in-law and whispered, "Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

How could Tang Xiao fall asleep. For some time, she hasn't been sleeping well. Cheng Lie is not here tonight, even more so.

However, with Cheng Meng here to accompany her, it is always many times better than her alone.

"I'm not asleep, Mengmeng, do you have something to say to me?" Tang Xiao asked softly.

"Hmm. Cheng Meng put her arms around one of her sister-in-law's arms, snuggled up to her sister-in-law's side like a fluffy little animal, and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, why isn't my eldest brother here tonight, it's so strange." ”

Tang Xiao glanced at Cheng Meng, and the lamp was still on in the room, so she could see the worried expression on Cheng Meng's face very clearly.

"Mengmeng, tell me first, who asked you to come?" Tang Xiao asked rhetorically.

Cheng Meng was stunned, shrunk his shoulders and said, "No one, it's me who wants to talk to my sister-in-law." ”

"Is that really the case?" Tang Xiao's gaze was as clear as water.

Cheng Meng bit her lip and said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I'll be honest, in fact, it was the eldest brother who asked me to come." ”

Although he had already guessed this possibility, hearing Cheng Meng say it himself and get a definite answer, Tang Xiao still chuckled in his heart, and felt like he couldn't say it.

"What did he tell you?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Hmm...... The eldest brother said that he had something to do when he returned to the army today, and asked me if I had anything else to do at night, so I would come to the hospital to accompany you if I was fine. Cheng Meng confessed honestly.

"Those snacks, he asked you to bring them too?"

"Hmm...... Cheng Meng nodded and said, "It's all sent by Brother Li by the eldest brother." ”

Tang Xiao was silent.

She knew that those snacks couldn't be bought at any snack street.

She just didn't understand, why did she still care about her, but she wanted to be indifferent and ruthless to her?

He was clearly worried that she would be lonely in the hospital alone, that she would not be able to sleep alone at night, and that she would not have someone close to take care of her. That's why Cheng Meng came to accompany her.

He clearly knew that she hadn't eaten much today, and he was worried that she would be hungry, so he carefully selected those snacks and sent them over in the name of Cheng Meng.

He clearly cared so much about her, and he clearly loved her - why, didn't he tell her directly?

Men's self-esteem is really annoying.

Cheng Lie, you are simply the big fool of Tianzi No. 1.

Tang Xiao wanted to cry and laugh in her heart, but what she wanted most now was to hug Cheng Lie tightly and ask him why.

However, she also knew that if he really saw her, he would definitely pretend to be indifferent and arrogant.

He wouldn't forgive her so easily.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't love her anymore.

"Sister-in-law, you won't be angry with my eldest brother, right?" Cheng Meng looked at her sister-in-law with a strange expression worriedly.

Tang Xiao shook his head: "I didn't." The one who is angry should be him. ”

"Ah?" Cheng Meng was stunned, her little brain still couldn't understand why an angry person would do this kind of thing to please her sister-in-law, could her eldest brother have a normal brain?

Forget it, a middle-aged person like his eldest brother is not something she can understand.

In Cheng Meng's mind, a person who is thirty years old is already considered a middle-aged person - if her eldest brother knew that he had been included in the ranks of middle-aged people by his baby sister, he would definitely not be able to help but reward her with two popping chestnuts.

"Then sister-in-law, why is the eldest brother angry?" Cheng Meng asked curiously, "Actually, I wanted to ask just now, why is the eldest brother not here today? ”
