On the night of early winter, it was extremely cold, Tang Xiao and the others curled up in the makeshift shed, and everyone had no sleep.

Behind him, there were constant wails and cries of survivors, as well as the cries of those who had just lost loved ones.

Xiaomei was also sobbing incessantly, if she could, she really didn't want to see the nightmarish scene today.

And Tang Xiao, who was sitting next to Xiaomei, had no other way to comfort Xiaomei except to reach out in vain and keep patting Xiaomei's back.

In the face of such a catastrophe, no word is pale.

Time goes back to the day before.

After a bumpy winding road, Tang Xiao and the others finally arrived at the village where Xiaomei said that her eldest brother and sister-in-law's family were located.

Along the way, Xiaomei was worried, there was no longer half a smile on her round face, and she kept praying to the Bodhisattva to bless her eldest brother and sister-in-law's family.

The driver, Xiao Wang, couldn't help but laugh at her: "Xiaomei, are there really immortals in the world?"

Xiaomei did not talk to Xiao Wang as before, but closed her eyes, folded her hands and kept chanting something silently.

The driver Xiao Wang didn't say anything when he saw this, but Jin Xiaoyi said: "There will definitely be gods and Buddhas in the world." ”

Tang Xiao thought to himself, when people face everything unknown, they will always pray that there are immortals and bodhisattvas in the world who can solve all difficulties, after all, there are so many things that people can't control, and if there are really gods and Buddhas, it is not a bad thing.

Perhaps Xiaomei's prayer was heard by the Bodhisattva, and when she arrived at the village, everything seemed to be peaceful, and there was a big yellow dog barking at the people in the car, attracting a group of half-grown children in the village, who gathered together in twos and threes, pointing at the car, and did not know what they were talking about.

Xiaomei looked back at Pei Yuansheng as if pleading: "Mr. Pei, can you go to my sister-in-law's house for a while? I want to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Pei Yuansheng smiled gently: "Of course you can, but I don't know if I can eat the leek cake made by your sister-in-law." ”

Speaking of leek cakes, Xiaomei's eyes lit up instantly, she nodded excitedly, and said firmly: "Of course you can, of course you can, Mr. Pei rest assured, I will definitely ask my sister-in-law to prepare food for everyone." ”

The driver, Xiao Wang, said: "Then I really can't wait." ”

Xiaomei's round face was full of smiles, and she couldn't even close her mouth when she smiled, seeing Xiaomei so happy, it was rare for others to see such a calm and peaceful village, plus the village seemed to be safe and sound, which made Tang Xiao's worries about Ji Xiaoru and Lu Chenxi and others also relaxed a little.

The villages located in the deep mountains are all safe, Ji Xiaoru and the others should be safe, but they have lost contact for the time being, right? Perhaps, the thunder just now was really just Xiaomei's mistake. Tang Xiao thought about it by luck.

Not only Tang Xiao, but others also had roughly the same idea. Jin Xiaoyi saw that Pei Yuansheng's face was not good, and hoped that Pei Yuansheng could get out of the car and have a good rest, and it was best to find a farmhouse to spend the night, so as not to continue to suffer on the rugged mountain road. 、

Driving on such a mountain road, several passengers are complaining, and the driver Xiao Wang is of course even more difficult. To get Mr. Pei's consent to stop and rest for a while, he is probably the happiest among everyone.

The car came to a stop in an open field.

When the car stopped, some children came over curiously to take a look, and the more daring children put their whole faces against the car window, their eyes wide open, and looked in without blinking.

"It's rare to see outsiders in the mountains, and the children must be very happy. Xiaomei said with a grin.

Since arriving in the village, Xiaomei's mouth has never been closed.

Tang Xiao thought that the transportation in the mountains was not convenient, and there should be no network, and there was basically no signal after the mobile phone entered the mountain by itself, and it was not easy for the children in the mountains to get in touch with the outside world.

If she had known, she should have brought more books and magazines. Tang Xiao thought to himself.

However, if she can successfully find Ji Xiaoru and them this time, she will find a way to ask someone to send some things over if she has a chance in the future.

Maybe it was telepathy, maybe it was really seeing what she was thinking from Tang Xiao's eyes, Pei Yuansheng whispered to her: "Next time I ask someone to send something over, if you want to bring something to these mountain children, tell me directly." ”

Tang Xiao glanced at Pei Yuansheng gratefully: "Thank you, you are still thoughtful"

Pei Yuansheng smiled, "How can you say thank you again?"

Tang Xiao remembered that they couldn't say thank you to each other. had no choice but to smile at Pei Yuansheng again.

For Pei Yuansheng, she is really always grateful, but she knows very well in her heart that gratitude is not love, and she will never give what Pei Yuansheng wants.

Fortunately, Pei Yuansheng never asked for anything in return for the affection he gave to her, and he would always just silently do what he could for her.

Even Tang Xiao never made any requests to him, but how could a person who always put himself in the other party's shoes not find the other party in need of help.

Tang Xiao really can't reciprocate, but Pei Yuansheng's life has nothing she can help except for bad health, except for fulfilling the responsibility of a "personal doctor" as much as possible, helping him keep secrets and taking care of his body with all her heart, she really can't do anything for him.

In Jin Xiaoyi's eyes, the communication between Pei Yuansheng and Tang Xiao is so tacit, and even the interactive eyes are warm, as Tang Xiao's classmate, she shouldn't be jealous, but as a woman, especially a woman who loves Pei Yuansheng deeply, how can she not be half jealous of Tang Xiao and Pei Yuansheng's familiarity?

She even hoped that Tang Xiao was not the good old man Tang Xiao who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, if she was any other woman, what would happen if she Jin Xiaoyi fought openly and secretly? She would definitely not have half a sense of guilt.

However, it was Tang Xiao.

Because it was Tang Xiao, even if she had a thousand plans, she couldn't do anything, because she didn't want to destroy the relationship between Tang Xiao and Pei Yuansheng, even if she knew very well that Tang Xiao's love for Pei Yuansheng was limited to friendship.

Because it was Tang Xiao, she knew what a fatal attraction this woman had to men. She knew the distance between herself and Tang Xiao, even if she tried her best, Pei Yuansheng would not move his eyes towards Tang Xiao to herself.

Jin Xiaoyi sighed silently.

Several people got out of the car together, and the group was dressed well, and a few little girls looked at Pei Yuansheng and kept blushing and snickering.

"What are they talking about?" The dialect accent here is relatively heavy, and Pei Yuansheng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xiaomei was a little embarrassed, shook her head and said, "Mr. Pei, the little ghosts are talking nonsense." ”

Xiaomei's words aroused everyone's interest even more, and Jin Xiaoyi said: "Xiaomei, you can translate for us." ”

"That's it, you translate and translate, everyone is angry. The driver, Xiao Wang, agreed.

Even Tang Xiao looked at her with a slight smile in his eyes.

Xiaomei said "hey", scratched her head, staggered her eyes and said, "They said...... Mr. Pei is good-looking, and when he grows up, he wants to marry Mr. Pei and give birth to Mr. Pei...... These little girls have no knowledge, and they talk nonsense...... Mr. Pei, don't take it to heart. ”

"Ha ......" the driver Xiao Wang smiled, "These stupid children, when they grow up, it will take many years." ”

Pei Yuansheng shook his head and smiled: "If they knew how much older I was than them, I'm afraid they wouldn't say that." ”

Xiaomei said anxiously: "Where is it, Mr. Pei, you look young, I think you are in your early twenties, right?"

After Pei Yuansheng got out of the car, he breathed the fresh air of the mountain village, and his heart, which had been threshing, felt a lot better, and his mood became happy, and he touched his smooth chin, and asked Tang with a narcissistic smile: "A good-looking man like me, sure enough, he eats all men, women, and children everywhere, but ...... Do I really look that young?"

Tang Xiao was speechless for a while, shook his head and said, "Narcissist, in your eyes, you are the best in the world." ”

Pei Yuansheng pretended to take out his iPhone, pretended to look in the mirror at the screen, touched his forehead, and muttered: "Magic Mirror Magic Mirror, who is the most beautiful man in the world?"

"Poof......" Jin Xiaoyi rarely saw Pei Yuansheng's unserious side, after all, what she saw in the past was either the cold and noble school grass Pei Yuansheng, or the serious and meticulous Pei Zong...... No matter from which point of view, Pei Yuansheng is an out-and-out kaolin flower.

Pei Yuansheng, who was joking like this, with sparkling eyes and a childlike expression, was really unaccustomed to it.

But I have to say that such Pei Yuansheng also fascinates her.

As Pei Yuansheng's driver, Xiao Wang has long experienced all kinds of Pei Zong, anyway, Pei is always ever-changing, no matter how good it is, he doesn't feel unusual.

On the one hand, Xiaomei was taken aback by Pei Yuansheng's fine appearance, and on the other hand, she also felt that Pei Yuansheng was really good-looking, so she blurted out next to her: "Mr. Pei, I don't know what other people think, but if you want me to be honest, you are really the best-looking man I have ever seen......

Seeing that the smile on the corner of Pei Yuansheng's mouth was becoming more and more obvious, Tang Xiao was afraid that this guy was too proud, so he hurriedly interrupted Xiaomei, who was going to continue to praise: "Xiaomei, don't praise this male peacock, you see that he has to be like this now, if you praise him again, I'm afraid he will open the screen later." ”

"Ahh

"Smiled and said that Pei is always a peacock, and I am worried that Mr. Pei will give us a peacock later. With such a harmonious atmosphere, such a fresh air, and such a pleasant environment, Jin Xiaoyi also rarely let go of the reserve of a professional gold collar and joked about the boss with a smile.

Anyway, if you have a smile to support yourself, what are you afraid of?

Pei Yuansheng didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed with everyone: "Jin Xiaoyi, do you dare to say that your boss is a peacock, are you afraid that I will deduct your bonus this month?"

"I'm not afraid," Jin Xiaoyi straightened her chest and said very confidently: "I follow the boss so dedicatedly, I believe that the boss will only give me a raise and will never deduct my bonus." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Tang Xiao and blinked, "I'm right, Xiaoxiao?"
