Tang Xiao felt that it was necessary to let Cheng Meng know that Pete was coming, instead of staring at Pete as soon as he entered the door, so he walked out of the door quickly, grabbed Cheng Meng, and said in a low voice: "Mengmeng, Pete is here." ”

When Cheng Meng heard this, she was really stunned.

Ye Chen judged from Tang Xiao's mouth shape that someone was coming, but he didn't know who this Pete was, and he had never seen this name in Cheng Meng and Tang Xiao's mouth.

Cheng Meng was stunned for a moment, and quickly squeezed out a smile: "I know, sister-in-law." ”

Tang Xiao lowered his voice and reminded: "Communicate well with Pete, don't quarrel, got it?"

In front of Ye Chen, Cheng Meng didn't know why she was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'm not a child, I know it." ”

Having said that, Tang Xiao was not at ease with Cheng Meng at all.

But no matter how uneasy she is, this is Cheng Meng's own business, and she can't do anything for her.

Sighing silently, Tang Xiao worriedly let Cheng Meng and Ye Chen in.

Cheng Meng walked into the living room and saw Pete sitting on the sofa in the living room at a glance.

Pete seemed to be a little thinner than before, with a handsome face with a blue stubble and blond hair that looked slightly messy.

Most importantly, Pete doesn't have the sunny smile on his face.

His eyes looked wary, as if he was on guard against something, and there was a clear blue shadow on the fair skin under his eyes, and it seemed that Pete hadn't slept very well these days.

His clothes didn't match the weather in Chengbei at the moment, and his boots were covered with a layer of dust, which was not as shiny as before.

Seeing that Pete was not doing well and was tired, Cheng Meng felt a little happy in his heart-

In the past few days, she has not had a good time, she can't sleep every night, and she has had several nightmares.

It's all Pete's fault, he is so bad, and he doesn't have a good life.

On the one hand, Cheng Meng thinks that the two are equal, on the other hand, the happiness in Cheng Meng's heart quickly faded, and what followed was a tide of distress.

It feels strange to feel sorry for someone, like a pinprick and a drizzle in my heart.

But all this is willing, not persecuted.

If a woman still loves a man, then first of all, she will involuntarily feel pity for this man.

As long as there is pity in his heart, it is absolutely impossible to completely cut off the love thread and throw himself into the arms of another person.

How much obsession without regret begins with pity.

While Cheng Meng was silently looking at Pete, Pete also sat quietly on the sofa and watched Cheng Meng.

is different from Pete in Cheng Meng's eyes, at this moment, in Pete's eyes, Cheng Meng can definitely be called radiant.

She was wearing a cream-white cashmere sweater, a light blue high-necked white coat and a medium-gray vest skirt, short suede boots decorated with white furballs on her feet, a dark gray beret on her head, shoulder-length hair tucked behind her ears, two heart-shaped red diamond stud earrings on her small earlobes, her petal-like soft lips were painted with shiny lip gloss, and her fair face was puffy, looking very good.

Pete laughed, thinking, sure enough, as he heard in the past two days, most of the little girl Cheng Meng has already moved her heart to the man named Ye Chen, otherwise, why would she dress up so carefully?

Look, how ruddy her face is, how good her spirit is, she looks like she's in a new love—

The red diamonds on the earlobes were particularly dazzling, because Cheng Meng once told him that this was her favorite pair of studs, and she would only wear them when she was in a particularly good mood.

Usually Cheng Meng rarely wears studs, because she can't tell why, her ears are allergic to these studs, and every time she wears them, her earlobes will always become red and swollen.

So, she's in a good mood with this man today, right?

Pete thought of the torture he had been subjected to in the past few days, and for a moment, he had an urge to strangle Cheng Meng immediately.

No...... Hold yourself, Pete. She's the woman you love, isn't she?

Pete stood up, smiled at Cheng Meng, and greeted her as usual: "Hi, Meng Meng, I'm sorry I came without saying hello." ”

Cheng Meng looked at Pete, and an urge rose in her heart to throw herself into the arms of this tall man and slam her fists a few times-

What a big idiot, I don't know if I miss you so much?

But just a second before she made such a move, a picture suddenly appeared in her eyes-

Several men were rudely tearing at a little girl's clothes, and Pete stood indifferently and watched.

No...... No, he's a beast.

A shrill voice was shouting at her.

Stay away from him - Cheng Meng, don't go near this beast, he will hurt you.

Cheng Meng's body was driven by this sound, and subconsciously took a small step back.

"Hi, Pete. ”

Pete noticed Cheng Meng's movements, and a trace of hurt crossed his eyes.

Is it because of the man behind her that she deliberately kept her distance?

But Cheng Meng, have you forgotten that we haven't really broken up yet?

"Who is this?" Pete moved his gaze to the young man behind her.

Although he already knew the man's name through his monitoring of Cheng Meng.

"Oh...... He is Ye Chen. Cheng Meng walked up to Ye Chen's side and introduced it to Pete with a smile.

After speaking, he looked at Ye Chen again, and stretched out his hand to Pete: "Ye Chen, let me introduce to you, this is Pete." ”

I don't know if it was unintentional negligence or intentionality, she didn't explain her relationship with Pete to Ye Chen,

Tang Xiao frowned and said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, this is Mengmeng's boyfriend." Although Meng Meng deliberately didn't say it, I think you must be able to guess, right?"

She didn't want Pete to feel unhappy, so she deliberately wanted everyone to think that Cheng Meng wanted Ye Chen to guess Pete's identity.

Ye Chen smiled at Tang and said, "I can see it, Doctor Tang." ”

"Wow, really?" Tang Xiao said exaggeratedly, "Could it be that the two of them are husband and wife?"

Ye Chen nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, Pete and Cheng Meng are quite similar in some places." ”

Cheng Meng touched her face and asked, "Is there one?"

"Yes. Ye Chen smiled gently.

"Hello Ye Chen. Pete stretched out his hand towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shook hands with Pete, and his voice was faint: "Hello Pete." ”

No matter at any time, Ye Chen's tone of voice was light, except when he was talking to Tang Xiao, he would seem to be more emotional.

Pete deliberately used a slight force when shaking hands, but Ye Chen didn't even frown.

He felt a thin layer of cocoons from Ye Chen's finger joints.

Unexpectedly, this young man who looked thin and elegant could also use a gun.

Who is he?

Pete was curious.

"Pete, Ye Chen, let's talk for a while, Mengmeng and I will go to the kitchen to chop vegetables, otherwise it will be late to eat later." Tang said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I'll help too. Pete said very sincerely.

"No, Pete, you can just rest in the living room for a while. Cheng Meng hurriedly refused.

She didn't want to get up close and personal with Pete, she was afraid of any physical contact with Pete, and more importantly, she was in a mess right now.

She found herself at a loss as to how to deal with Pete.

"I'm not tired, I want to help you cook together, not be a hands-off shopkeeper in the living room. Pete said sincerely.

Tang Xiao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words "shake the shopkeeper and shake the handshake": "Pete, I haven't seen you for a few days, your Chinese dialect is better, and you can even use the word "shake the shopkeeper." ”

Cheng Meng was originally in turmoil, but she couldn't help laughing at the moment, and laughed.

Pete looked at the sweet smile on Cheng Meng's face, and couldn't help but reach out to Cheng Meng, wanting to rub her hair as usual.

But Cheng Meng quickly dodged.

Not only did she dodge, but she also put away her smile and glared at him like a kitten with its tail up: "Pete, what are you doing?"

Pete's outstretched hand froze in mid-air for a moment.

"I ......"

His tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't speak.

“…… It's nothing. I'm sorry. ”

It was a few seconds before he found his voice.

The atmosphere became very awkward, Tang Xiao looked at Cheng Meng and then at Pete, but he really couldn't figure out what the situation was now.

And Ye Chen has always been indifferent, not very interested in Cheng Meng and Pete's affairs, but his eyes will drift to Tang Xiao's face from time to time.

Tang Xiao was in this situation that made her not know what to do, and when she noticed Ye Chen's gaze, she felt that she was a comrade-in-arms in the same trench as Ye Chen.

She smiled comfortingly at him and motioned for him not to be nervous.

But Ye Chen wasn't nervous at all, and he didn't even feel embarrassed-

Of course, Tang Xiao didn't notice this at all.

"Well, why don't you go to the living room to talk for a while?" Tang Xiao thought for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: "It's enough for me and Ye Chen to have me in the kitchen, you haven't seen each other for so many days, you must have a lot to say, right?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, don't you mind going to the kitchen with me to chop vegetables, right?"

Ye Chen shook his head, with a pleasant smile on his face: "I don't mind." ”

Not only did he not mind, but he was looking forward to it.

Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Ye Chen's sleeve, and the two walked towards the kitchen.

Cheng Meng stood in place, staring at Pete silently.

The time she hid just now really made Pete very embarrassed, and she didn't feel guilty about it, but ......

Among them, wasn't the first person to do something wrong, Pete?

If Pete hadn't done that kind of thing, all this unpleasant thing would not have happened now.

"Pete, I don't think we have much to talk about. Cheng Meng said softly.

A wry smile appeared on Pete's lips, and he looked at her helplessly: "Is it? Mengmeng, it seems that I shouldn't have come to you." ”
