The night is like water, and the evening breeze is blowing.

Under the night sky, the evening breeze blew up Xia Yina's long hair, which had not been tidied for several days, fluttering in the wind, completely obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her expression, only to see her holding her head there and crying loudly, and the cry spread far away...... Far away......

Seeing that Xia Yina, who was strong in the past, was crying like a child at this time, Jia Wenjing, Zhuang Bifan, Zeng Kexin and Yang Jing didn't know that Xia Yina's father Xia He was also dead, and they felt sorry for Xia Yina, but they were also a little confused.

Wu Yuze didn't feel puzzled because he knew the news of Xia He's death, and he only sympathized.

As for Pei Donglai......

Xia Yina's heart-rending cry echoed in his ears, looking at Xia Yina squatting on the ground helplessly and crying loudly, Pei Donglai only felt that a certain string in his heart was plucked, and there was an inexplicable pain.

In addition to the pain, he couldn't help but take a step and took the initiative to walk towards Xia Yina in front of him.

At the same time, Xia Bing and Song Xin jumped out of the car one after another, and the two of them invariably set their eyes on Pei Donglai, who was walking towards Xia Yina.

Because Xia Yina took the initiative to pursue Pei Donglai, whether it was Xia Yina's mother Song Xin or Xia Yina's uncle Xia Bing, the two were no strangers to Pei Donglai, on the contrary, they ...... The two not only saw Pei Donglai's photos, but also because they paid attention to Pei Donglai, they both knew what Pei Donglai did before his trip to Yanjing, and they also knew Pei Donglai's unnatural performance in the virtual economy seminar and the special forces competition.

As for...... They didn't know about the Pei family's slap to the Ye family - after Xia Yina's grandfather died, they focused all their energy on dealing with this matter, and the news of Xia He's death came later, so they naturally didn't have the heart to pay attention to Pei Donglai anymore.

At this moment, looking at Pei Donglai's face that was neither familiar nor unfamiliar, Song Xin's face was complicated, while Xia Bing was as excited as if a drowning man had grabbed the last straw.

Pei Donglai didn't go to see Song Xin and Xia Bing, he just walked aside. While looking at the girl who was squatting on the ground, crying silently.

Walking, walking. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Xia Yina, Wu Yuze, and Jia Wenjing sat downstairs in the boys' dormitory and waited for him after he had a conflict with Niu Haitao and He Hua at the Red Pigeon Hotel.

On that day, I saw Pei Donglai return safely. Xia Yina also called out to Pei Donglai, and then took the initiative to run to Pei Donglai.

Long hair flutters and skirts flutter.

That day, Xia Yina slipped because she ran too fast and too fast.

However,

Just when she was about to fall to the ground. The figure that walked into the depths of her heart at some point appeared in front of her like a ghost and held her.

She mustered up her courage out of nowhere, and couldn't help but stretch out her hands and put her arms around Pei Donglai, hugging them very tightly.

"I'm worried about you"

"I'm fine."

"I'm sorry, Shayna......"

"No...... No. ”

"I like you, but I ...... I know that too. You don't like me. Twisted melons are not sweet. I know you won't accept my affection, but ...... But please don't say it, okay? ”

"I'm sorry - I promised a girl that within four years, I would straighten my waist and walk into Yanjing City, into her home. Take her hand openly. ”

"If I promise you, it's not fair to you. And...... Someday. You will regret it. ”

"I don't regret it."

That day, when Pei Donglai ruthlessly rejected Xia Yina's love. Xia Yina also squatted on the ground, burst into tears, and stubbornly said the words 'I don't regret it'.

The bits and pieces of that day flashed in Pei Donglai's mind like a movie. …,

The picture is still, and the footsteps stop.

Pei Donglai walked in front of Xia Yina.

He didn't take the lead to greet Song Xin and Xia Bing, but slowly ...... Slowly squatted down, squatting in front of Xia Yina.

Later, under the gaze of Song Xin, Xia Bing, Wu Yuze and others, Pei Donglai stretched out his hand without saying a word, gently stroked Xia Yina's long hair, and comforted Xia Yina in this silent way.

Pei Donglai's actions made Xia Yina, who was crying bitterly, tremble violently, and then ...... She raised her head with tears on her face, her eyes were hazy as she looked at Pei Donglai, who was close at hand, and tears the size of beans flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably, slowly sliding down her increasingly thin face.

Looking at Xia Yina's haggard, yellowed face and red and swollen eyes, the inexplicable pain in Pei Donglai's heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but remove his hand from Xia Yina's head, caress Xia Yina's face, and gently help Xia Yina wipe away the tears on her face.

It's just-

He wiped it so much less quickly than Xia Yina wept, so much so that his right hand was wet with tears and still hadn't wiped it clean.

"Don't cry anymore."

Rubbing, rubbing, Pei Donglai smiled slightly and said softly.

Don't cry anymore.

The three words of understatement, like a heavy hammer, smashed into Xia Yina's heart, smashing her last strength to pieces, and all the grievances and pains surged like a tide, making her throw herself into Pei Donglai's arms.

She pounced so crisply.

There are no words.

Throwing herself into Pei Donglai's arms, Xia Yina hugged Pei Donglai hard and tightly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Seemingly, she was scared.

She was afraid that as soon as she let go, Pei Donglai would disappear.

Sensing the trembling of Xia Yina in his arms, Pei Donglai did not push Xia Yina away, but gently patted Xia Yina's back.

Feeling Pei Donglai's comfort, Xia Yina's body gradually ...... Gradually, the trembling stopped.

She once again buried her head in Pei Donglai's arms.

Smelling the familiar and unfamiliar breath on Pei Donglai's body, and feeling Pei Donglai's powerful heartbeat, Xia Yina only felt that all the fear and anxiety gradually disappeared, and she stopped crying.

Like an exhausted kitten, she quieted down.

Seeing this scene, Song Xin on the side bit her lip tightly and washed her face with tears, while Xia Bing on the side clenched her fists excitedly.

Both of them did not disturb Pei Donglai and Xia Yina.

Not only them, but at the door of the villa, Wu Yuze and the others did not come forward to disturb.

Under the light, their eyes were red because they were moved, and they smiled because they were grateful.

Laughing with tears in his eyes.

They are like a bunch of fools.

"She's asleep."

I don't know how long it took. Sensing that Xia Yina's breathing had become even, Pei Donglai stopped patting Xia Yina on the back, looked up at Song Xin and Xia Bing and said.

"She hadn't slept for three days and three nights."

Song Xin burst into tears. looked at Xia Yina in Pei Donglai's arms distressedly, and then realized something, wiped her tears, and said, "I am Yina's mother." This is Ina's uncle, you ...... You're all Ina's classmates, let's go, let's go into the room. ”

The words fell, and Song Xin took a step forward. Tried to take Xia Yina from Pei Donglai.

"Auntie, she just fell asleep, so in order not to wake her up, I'd better carry her in." Pei Donglai slowly hugged Xia Yina and got up and said to Song Xin.

"Okay, okay."

Song Xin nodded again and again, and then led the way with Xia Bing in front.

"Auntie, uncle."

The entrance to the villa. Wu Yuze and others took the initiative to greet them. They all greeted Song Xin and Xia Bing.

"I'm sorry, let me wait at the door of the villa, let's all go in." Song Xin apologized and beckoned everyone into the villa. …,

Entering the villa, Xia Bing beckoned Wu Yuze and the others to take a seat, poured water and made tea, while Pei Donglai hugged Xia Yina. Follow Song Xin to Xia Yina's bedroom.

"You're from the east, aren't you?"

After Pei Donglai put Xia Yina on the bed, Song Xin covered Xia Yina with a quilt. looked at Pei Donglai and said.

"Yes, Auntie." Pei Donglai nodded.

"Thank you. Coming from the East. Song Xin sincerely thanked him.

Pei Donglai shook his head: "Auntie is polite, this is what I should do." ”

"Ina will be fine when she falls asleep, let's go down." Song Xin said.

Pei Donglai nodded and followed Song Xin out of Xia Yina's bedroom.

Downstairs, Xia Bing chatted with Wu Yuze and the others without saying a word, not so cold, but the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

"Sister-in-law, you chat with Ina's classmates, and I'll go talk to Donglai about something." Seeing that Song Xin took Pei Dong downstairs, Xia Bing, who had already been unable to bear it, got up and said.

With Xia Bing's words ringing in his ears, Song Xin's heart was like a mirror, but ...... But he was a little hesitant, hesitating whether to ask Pei Dong for help.

"You guys talk to Aunt Song first, and I'll talk to Uncle Xia."

Pei Donglai was originally full of curiosity about Xia He's death, and when he saw Xia Bing taking the initiative to talk, he knew that Xia Bing wanted to talk to him about Xia He, so he agreed without waiting for Song Xin to speak.

Hearing Pei Donglai say this, Song Xin glanced at Pei Donglai with mixed feelings, and wanted to say thank you, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Uncle Xia, how did Ina's father die?" Entering the study, Pei Donglai took the initiative to ask.

Xia Bing shook his head with an ugly face: "After my brother learned the news of the death of his father-in-law, he led people back from Burma, but he was intercepted and killed on the way back, and he and his men all died. ”

"Who did that? Has the body been found? Pei Donglai asked again.

"I've sent someone to investigate, but there is no news yet, and the body has not been found." Xia Bing's face was ugly.

Pei Donglai frowned when he heard this.

"From the east." Xia Bing hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Uncle Xia, you say." Xia Bing's words made Pei Donglai come back to his senses from his thoughts.

Xia Bing sorted out his rhetoric and said, "Donglai, you must also know that although my eldest brother has tried his best to bleach over the years, he has ...... still has not left the rivers and lakes, and in the past few years, he has made too many enemies, among which Xu Wanshan is the most. ”

"Uncle Xia, did you say Xu Wanshan did it?" Pei Donglai's heart moved and asked.

Xia Bing shook his head: "I don't know yet." No...... However, after the news of my eldest brother's death came out, Xu Wanshan called, saying straight to the point that he wanted to acquire Xia's Group, and asked me to reply to him before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Bing paused and said: He also said that if we don't sell it, he will let my sister-in-law and Ina go below to accompany my eldest brother!

"He's tired of being crooked."

Pei Donglai narrowed his eyes, and a cold light appeared. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
