Chapter 1: Solace
In the middle of the night, Lu Tao, who was asleep, was suddenly woken up by an earth-shattering thunderclap. In a daze, he habitually spread his hands to both sides, wanting to turn over and fall asleep again, when he suddenly felt that his right hand touched a towering and soft thing, and he was startled, and before he could react, his right palm was firmly grasped by a pair of soft little hands, and a gentle reprimand came from his ears: "Lu Tao, what are you doing!"
Lu Tao was completely awake at this time, and then he remembered that he didn't sleep alone tonight, and there was a female classmate Chen Pei lying next to him!
So, he quickly moved his body inside, and said apologetically: "Pei Pei, I'm sorry! I just woke up by that thunderbolt, and I spread my hands in a daze, but I forgot that you were sleeping next to you, and I really didn't mean to. ”
Chen Pei was silent, her eyes wide and clear in the dark, staring at the ceiling illuminated by lightning from time to time, for a long time, she sighed lightly and asked in a low voice: "Lu Tao, in your mind, I have always been a good friend and a good sister, right? You respect me and get close to me, but you have never liked me or loved me, right?"
Lu Tao asked rhetorically: "Pei Pei, why did you suddenly ask this question?"
Chen Pei was silent for a moment, and then said faintly: "Do you know? And you fell asleep as soon as your head was next to the pillow, and you snored sweetly, what does this mean? It means that you don't see me as a woman at all, maybe in your heart, I'm just one of your buddies or girlfriends of the opposite sex, right?"
Lu Tao coughed lightly a little embarrassed, and didn't answer for a long time.
In fact, Chen Pei's resentful words just now have a certain basis: since the second year of college, Lu Tao has obviously felt that Chen Pei likes him very much, but he has already established a relationship with Chen Pei's roommate and best friend Yang Xiaoting at that time, and he really has no feelings for Chen Pei, so although the relationship between the two is very good, they have always avoided talking about emotional problems. Throughout her college years, Chen Pei has never clearly expressed her love to him.
After graduating from university, Lu Tao did not take the postgraduate examination because of his family's difficulties, but took the civil service examination of the provincial local taxation system, and after being admitted, he was assigned to work at the local taxation bureau of Taolin County, Songshan City, which is more than 200 kilometers away from his hometown; Yang Xiaoting was admitted to the graduate school and went to the Shanghai Institute of Finance and Economics to continue her studies; while Chen Pei, because his father was deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, was scrambled by many provincial organs as soon as he graduated, and finally joined the budget department of the provincial finance department, and is now a chief staff member.
In the past three years of work, Lu Tao has maintained a long-distance relationship with Yang Xiaoting, and often goes to Shanghai to visit Yang Xiaoting. And Chen Pei also called or texted him from time to time, although she didn't show anything obviously, Lu Tao could fully understand her deep love for herself.
In fact, although Chen Pei's appearance is not very beautiful, but it is very attractive: tall and well-proportioned, the skin is not fair, but it looks healthy and moist, and the facial features are not beautiful, but a pair of big eyes are exceptionally clear and smart, and the smile is also very gentle and moving, and the whole person looks like a gentle and generous, simple and friendly feeling, if it is not for people who know her family background, she would never have thought that she is the only daughter of Chen Dengfeng, the third deputy secretary of the Nanjiang Provincial Party Committee......
Just a month ago, Lu Tao suddenly received a call from Chen Pei. On the phone, Chen Pei vaguely reminded him: Yang Xiaoting has now empathized with a Shanghainese boy in the graduate class, and is ready to stay in Shanghai to work after graduation.
When Lu Tao heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt sounded out of thin air, and his scalp was almost numb, so he quickly dialed Yang Xiaoting's mobile phone and asked her what was going on with the Shanghai boy?
Yang Xiaoting was also happy, and simply admitted that she had lived with the boy, and the parents of both parties had already met, and agreed to hold a wedding as soon as they graduated...... At the end, she said "I'm sorry" lightly and hung up.
From that day on, Lu Tao fell into a kind of depression and pain that could not be discharged, and every day after work, he bought a case of beer and moved into a rented room......
When she was about to get off work yesterday afternoon, Chen Pei suddenly found Lu Tao's office with a travel bag on her back, saying that she had traveled for two days in the Shuangxiong Mountain Scenic Area in a neighboring county, and came to see his old classmate by the way.
After Lu Tao invited Chen Pei to dinner, he was going to send her to the hotel to rest, but Chen Pei said that he wanted to go to his dormitory to sit down, so Lu Tao had to take her to the "Green Bank Mansion" community where he rented.
After entering the room, when she saw the pile of empty beer bottles in the living room, Chen Pei couldn't help but look back at Lu Tao with an embarrassed face, put down her travel bag, and began to clean up the beer bottles and garbage in the living room for him, and then entered the bedroom, made his bed, rolled up all the dirty clothes and put them in the washing machine, and instructed Lu Tao to carry the garbage she cleaned up to the garbage storage point outside, and while she washed his clothes, she wiped the tables, chairs and windows with rags with her hands and feet.
Lu Tao knew that although Chen Pei was born in a high-ranking official family, she had a strict family education since she was a child, and she was gentle and virtuous by nature, so she was more capable than ordinary female classmates from the countryside - from this point of view, she was many times stronger than Yang Xiaoting, who was pampered and didn't like to do housework!
After tidying up the room for Lu Tao and washing the clothes, Chen Pei sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted with Lu Tao with a match, but the two of them tacitly avoided talking about Yang Xiaoting's splitting legs.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chen Pei suddenly said that he wanted to take a bath, asked Lu Tao to lie in the bedroom for half an hour, and closed the bedroom door - only then did Lu Tao understand that Chen Pei did not plan to sleep in the hotel at all......
The rest of the matter was logical, after the two people took a shower separately, Kazuki lay down on a bed, but the bodies of the two people kept a distance.
Lu Tao knew very well: Chen Pei's trip to Shuangxiong Mountain this time was fake, and the real purpose of coming to find himself was to find himself. Moreover, judging from her behavior of taking the initiative to sleep with herself tonight, she is ready to give her body to herself.
It's just that Lu Tao hasn't come out of the huge mental blow of Yang Xiaoting's splitting at this time, and he really doesn't have that very tempting feeling for Chen Pei, plus he has been drinking all night and insomnia all night in the past few days, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, so although there is a young girl lying beside him, he still fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow with his head, until the thunder woke him up in the middle of the night......
At this moment, when he heard Chen Pei's questioning full of resentment, Lu Tao couldn't help feeling guilty and agitated in his heart, and couldn't help but put his arms around Chen Pei's body and gently kissed her hot lips.
Chen Pei didn't resist, just muttered softly, then opened her mouth obediently, and her hands spasmodically tightly wrapped around Lu Tao's waist, and the two began to kiss passionately......
