Chapter 101: Pei Zile's thoughts
I followed him with emotion, "I read this book when I was a sophomore in high school, and it was also in English. But I didn't have enough vocabulary at that time, so I read the whole book with an Oxford dictionary. I still remember that time when I took this book and read it as an extracurricular reading material in the class, and was praised by the teacher, I felt very proud at that time, only to find out later that I had become a monster in the eyes of others!"
"Oh, why is it a monster? This book can be regarded as a world masterpiece!" Pei Shaobei was a little incomprehensible.
"It's not that the book is weird, it's that it's weird for me as a teenage girl to read the English version of Jane Eyre. I never understood why my classmates were sneering at me and began to alienate me, but later I learned that people are jealous at a very young age. Pei Shaobei, you say, when did people's inferiority begin to sprout, is it the moment of birth?"
Pei Shaobei was amused by my somewhat silly question, he raised his hand to take the book from my hand and stuff it back into the shelf, but he didn't answer my question, but pointed to the books on the bookshelf and asked, "Wanwan, how many of these books have you read?"
"The Count of Monte Cristo", "Wuthering Heights", "Ordinary World", "Muslim Funeral", "Pride and Prejudice", I fingered one by one, but when I walked halfway, Pei Shaobei stretched out his hand to hold it, he looked a little strange and sighed helplessly, "Wanwan, don't tell me, you read all these books when you were in high school!"
"Most of them were the first time in high school, and then I read several more in college!" I asked, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Your high school life is really boring!" Pei Shaobei shook his head, "Isn't the little girl's high school supposed to dodge in that kind of secret love and open love, and go to the bookstore in groups to rent Taiwanese romance books to read in groups in her free time?"
"Huh?" I tilted my head sluggishly, and then nodded again, "yes, it seems that everyone around me does this! Dong Mei used to say that I was particularly unsociable, but now that I think about it, it may be true." ”
"Didn't anyone say anything about this?" Pei Shaobei was still a little incredulous, he looked at me and added, "At that time, didn't any boy chase you?"
I shook my head again and asked, "Did you have a lot of people chasing after you in high school?"
Pei Shaobei was a little speechless when I asked, it was the first time that I had the upper hand in a conversation with him, I couldn't help but feel a little proud and a little surprised, and said, "Hmph, at first glance, it's the kind of playboy who messes around with peach blossoms!"
Pei Shaobei smiled, raised his hand and rubbed my head, and sighed a little, "Alas, it's true, there were really a bunch of people sending love letters at that time, but ah, with Pei Zile's little bastard by his side, any kind of person can be scared away." ”
"Ah, was Pei Zile hostile to the people around you at that time?"
"Well, he thinks that no one is worthy of his brother and me!" Pei Shaobei seemed to raise his chin proudly, but he didn't explain too much, but pulled me to sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and took the old photo album and looked at it, telling me about everything when I was a child, and Pei Zile at that time.
In Pei Shaobei's random rummaging, I saw a photo of Pei Zile and a young girl, and immediately picked it up and looked at it, and then jokingly asked who the person was, Pei Shaobei looked at me with a very strange look, and said nonchalantly, "The nanny who was driven away!"
I didn't take it to heart with an "oh", after all, it was something that had been so long ago, and I would listen to it as a story. It's just that I look at the old photo and it seems to be a little old, and the girl's facial features have been worn out a lot, and I can't see it clearly, I just feel a little inexplicably familiar and don't pay much attention to it.
The two of them were alone for a while, and Sister-in-law Li came up and knocked on the door, saying that the meal was ready for us to eat, I naturally didn't dare to delay, pulled Pei Shaobei and went downstairs, and went in to wash my hands again when I got to the corner, and looked at myself in the mirror casually and turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped.
I stood there in a daze, looking at the person in the mirror, his cheeks slightly rounded because of pregnancy, his facial features were delicate and gentle, but he felt strange and familiar inexplicably, as if I was not looking at my image but at another person.
I finally understood why I felt inexplicably familiar when I first saw that photo, because I often saw such a face in the mirror.
After all, the photo is a dead thing, sometimes a moment of shooting, because of the angle and light and the image taken is also very different, the woman's facial features are no longer real, but the demeanor and temperament are the same as mine.
I think that after so many years, the young Pei Zile should have forgotten about the little nanny who once accompanied him, and the only thing he can remember is just like the moment when he was frozen in the photo, which is a kind of temperament and charm.
And this temperament and charm seem to have been transferred to me by Pei Zile.
I was a little frightened in my heart, I don't know what state Pei Zile was in at that time, crazy and paranoid?
I seem to understand why Pei Zile's attitude towards my marriage to Pei Shaobei is so strange.
It wasn't that I had any inexplicable feelings for me, but it should be a kind of worry, worried that I would disappear into their lives like the little nanny who was driven away, and worried that Pei Shaobei would be crushed by such a disappearance like himself that year.
I can't say what it feels like, there is a kind of relief and relaxation, at least I haven't developed the status quo into the shame of a female co-brother as I said on the forum. But there is still a heavy stone in his heart, because Pei Shaobei just had that weird gaze, if that girl is really similar to me, Pei Shaobei can't remember that person's face, then, what kind of thoughts did he have when he was with me.
"Wanwan, aren't you okay?"
Pei Shaobei knocked on the door outside, I hurriedly answered, quickly packed up my emotions, opened the door and greeted him with a smile, "Are you in a hurry? I'm sorry, I just got distracted!"
"Can you get distracted by washing your hands?" Pei Shaobei looked at me at the idiot, "Why don't you fall in!"
I glared at Pei Shaobei angrily, it was already the latest when he led me to the table, I was a little embarrassed, but I looked up and saw Pei Zile holding rice and guarding such a large plate of fish without any image.
"Pei Zile, can you have a little bit of fun, don't you have food at school?" Pei Shaobei reprimanded unhappily, but Pei Zile ignored him and still buried himself in eating. I looked at Pei Shaobei's father with some embarrassment, "Uncle, that, the fish is mushy, and I have found a way to remedy it, so it makes the taste a lot heavier." I'll make a good meal for you next time I have a chance, oh, and Auntie!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's been a long time since I've seen Zile eat like this, thinking that it was still at his age of six or seven years old, and ...... at that time"
"You don't eat or sleep, have you, a diplomat, gone abroad too many times and even forgotten all the things left by your ancestors?" Pei Shaobei's mother interrupted him coldly, and her eyes were even more unsquinting as she quietly ate the nutritious meal prepared for her by Sister-in-law Li, ignoring Pei Zile who was gobbling up on the other side of the table.
Pei Shaobei's father laughed twice, but he really stopped talking. The meal was eaten very quickly, and the scene was unusually silent because no one spoke, which they may not be accustomed to, but in my opinion, it was extremely embarrassing. In order to avoid becoming a discordant item, I forced myself to keep moving my chopsticks, and I couldn't taste what I put in my mouth. I envy Pei Zile in my heart, although the fish is a little mushy, but the taste is extremely attractive. In the early days of my pregnancy, the taste of the food changed so strangely that I wanted to eat it when I smelled it.
Taste-tung chewed wax and ate a meal, and finally someone broke the ice when it came up for dessert after the meal.
"Miss Gu is Zile's teacher?" It was Pei Shaobei's father who spoke, I hurriedly put down the water cup and nodded back, "Yes, I studied in that school in college, and I stayed in school after graduation and have been attending classes there." ”
"Oh, that's it!" Pei Shaobei's father nodded, took a sip of water from the water glass, and just when I thought he wouldn't continue to ask, he opened his mouth again, but this time a topic suddenly popped up that made me extremely embarrassed.
"Some time ago, I was on a business trip, and I happened to meet the principal of your school, and I picked up some things, as if your school has not been peaceful recently, and a teacher has had an accident!"
I stiffened, and subconsciously looked up at Pei Shaobei. Pei Shaobei shook his head at me imperceptibly.
"Alas, now the management of the Ministry of Education is really getting more and more relaxed, the university is the foundation of the country, and teachers not only have to preach and solve doubts, but also become the moral pacesetter of students, so lax will definitely happen in the future! Miss Gu is Zile's teacher, and his mother and I are also busy at work, and I hope that Teacher Gu will take more care of me when I can't come!"
Pei Shaobei's father smiled at me again after speaking, but his tone was still the same, but he regarded me as a teacher who came to visit his home, and he didn't pull Pei Shaobei at all.
I don't know if Pei Shaobei said about my divorce, and how much the other party knows about the bad things that happened in school, but if these two people go to check, I don't think I can pull out my old bottom in less than half an hour. At this moment, I actually have a strange gratitude in my heart for Pei Shaobei's mother's indifference, grateful for her indifference and disdain, so that I will not collapse at this time.
"I will, uncle, don't worry!" I smiled reluctantly, but I felt that my face was so stiff that I could barely tear it off, and this smiling face was a hundred times more ugly if I didn't cry.
