Chapter 24

Ling Si had been away for nearly a month since he went out of Pei Zixu's bedroom that day.

Although it is normal for Ling Si to be too busy as the president of Ling's and need to take leave, but now even the reports in the society are saying that Ling's disappearance has caused Ling's stock price to continue to fall, but there is still no trace of Lingsi.

Various rumors began to spread about Ling Si's kidnapping, serious illness, etc.

This made the students in the class and even the whole school panic, the Ling family, the business giant, half of the aristocratic students who went to school in Halls, their families all had business dealings with the Ling family. But I tried every means to find out the news for my family, but I found nothing, and all I got from the teacher was a vague answer that I asked for leave for something.

Pei Zixu, who has been insomnia for a month, is very irritable, and Ling Si's departure makes him sleep less than 5 hours a day.

And because of the riots caused by Ling Si's disappearance, he has dealt with n admirers of Ling Si today, as well as n+1 aristocratic students who came to inquire about the news.

Since he knew that he couldn't ask anything from the teacher, everyone came to him to ask him about Ling Si's whereabouts, but even he himself couldn't tell the relationship between him and Ling Si, was he a classmate? Or a roommate? Or is it a closer friendship?

With such a vague relationship between them, how could Ling Si trust him and explain his itinerary to him one by one.

As for Ling Si's whereabouts, he really couldn't guess it.

Before that, Pei Zixu had already discovered that Ling Si still had hidden attributes, the ability to know that he was from another world, and the identity that had been covered by the military, all of which showed that Ling Si was by no means just a rich man as set in the original book.

Mu Yiyan, who was whitewashed because of Pei Zixu's revelation of Minana's true face, was once again praised by everyone as a goddess, and her usual arrogant demeanor was now coming towards Pei Zixu.

But even the delicate makeup could not hide the haggard she described, like a rose that had forgotten to water.

Pei Zixu knew her purpose when he saw Mu Yiyan walking towards him, but his current state was really tired of dealing with these people.

Lying on the table, he buried his head in his arms, ignoring Mu Yiyan, hoping that Mu Yiyan's big family upbringing would understand the meaning of his actions, but unfortunately it backfired.

Mu Yiyan sat in Ling Si's seat, gently caressing Ling Si's desk with his fingertips, his eyes affectionate and focused. She didn't care about Pei Zixu's behavior of ignoring her, and whispered to Pei Zixu in a volume that only two people could hear.

"Where is he?"

"Ling Si's betrothed, Miss Mu, do you also think that I will know Ling Si's whereabouts? Why do you think I'll know Lynce's whereabouts? Is self-righteousness a common problem of you nobles? ”

"I don't think you'll know, but...... If it's you...... Perhaps there is such a possibility. Ling Si has never allowed other people to be close except for official business, but you are the exception, the exception to let Ling Si stay by his side unconditionally. ”

"I'm sorry to live up to the expectations of the eldest lady of the Mu family, I am not as important to Ling Si as you think."

"I don't think you'll know about Lings's whereabouts, but I've tried my best in the past month to get any news about Lings. And you...... Now is my last hope. ”

Although Mu Yiyan had lowered her voice and controlled her feelings, it was still not difficult to hear her hysteria.

"It's a pity that Miss Mu, I can't give you the answer you want."

"I know that the incident of Minana falling into the water is not as simple as it seems, with her character, she will never do such a stupid thing as martyrdom, who is the real perpetrator in this matter? Even if I don't have evidence on my hands, the rumors are enough to kill, if ......"

"Miss Mu, don't forget that you are also the beneficiary of that incident, even if you threaten me with this matter, it is useless, I really don't know what happened to Ling Si...... Nor do I care about these things. Cherish your current status as a goddess, you are not as lonely as you are. ”

Mu Yiyan's gaze shifted from Ling Si's desk to Pei Zixu's body, his eyes were angry and dissatisfied, and he found that Pei Zixu had not looked at her from beginning to end. She didn't have much hope from the beginning to get any news from Pei Zixu, but Pei Zixu was her last hope.

Now Pei Zixu's words have shattered her last bit of hope, Pei Zixu must not know how envious and jealous she is of him, to be able to stand in such a position so close to Ling Si, Mu Yiyan looked sad.

"Pei Zixu, do you know? You're colder than Lings, and you don't deserve to stand by Rings' side. ”

With these words, Mu Yiyan stood up and left the classroom.

Pei Zixu turned his head from his arms and looked out the window with a sideways face, the plane leaves outside had all turned golden yellow, and occasionally the autumn wind swept the leaves from the trees.

He still remembers when he first came to Halls, when the plane trees were still so lush, and there was not a single leaf on the road.

The headache caused by long-term insomnia made Pei Zixu frown, and he also wanted to know when Ling Si would come back, his spirit had reached the verge of collapse.

Perhaps Mu Yiyan was right, his heart was even colder than Lings. In fact, Ling Si was not as cold as he thought, at least he could still give him warmth. And what exactly is Lings to him? A life-saving sleeping pill?

"Zixu, can you go up to the top floor with me? I have something to say to you. ”

Hao Ren, who suddenly appeared, interrupted Pei Zixu's thinking. This was the first thing Hao Ren said to him since Minana fell into the water a month ago.

Pei Zixu turned his head to look at Hao Ren, his eyes were full of determination and purity.

Why is there such a big difference between people?

He also thought that Hao Ren, a simple child, had already classified him as the stepmother of Snow White in fairy tales, or the vicious witch in the daughter of the sea, and disdained to talk to him.

Anyway, he can't sleep, so he might as well take this trip and see what else this kid has to say to him, who has been so disappointed in him.

When standing on the top floor, swept by the cool autumn wind, Pei Zixu felt remorse for his impulsiveness.

People always think too much when they are lonely and too little when they are impulsive.

Looking at Pei Zixu, who was thinly dressed, Hao Ren took off his coat and draped it on Pei Zixu's body.

For Hao Ren's kindness, Pei Zixu gladly accepted it. But he really doesn't know how broad-minded Hao Ren really is, so he will take care of a person he hates like this.

"Tell me, what's the need to go to the top floor?"

Hao Ren looked directly at Pei Zixu, his eyes full of attachment and ...... Pity.

"I like you, I've liked you since a long time, but I can't say exactly when. Slowly, little by little, more and more attention is paid to you. I like your smile, your look, your patience with me, I remember everything you say. ”

Listening to Hao Ren's affectionate confession, Pei Zixu wanted to say to Hao Ren: ", canyousayitagain."

He thought he must have had a mental problem and was having auditory hallucinations.

Hao Ren, as a straight man, shouldn't he be a male and a lover of women?

Now why are you saying this confession to the heroine?

Hey, hey, Brother Hao Ren, you're sure you didn't make a mistake!

"I know that a person of the same sex confessing to you can make you feel uncomfortable. Because I didn't want to admit that I had this kind of affection for you as a homosexual, but the more I paid attention to you, the more I couldn't deceive my heart. ”

The affection and seriousness in Hao Ren's eyes, as well as the cool autumn breeze, all let Pei Zixu know that today is not April Fool's Day.

Although he didn't want to express anything about Hao Ren's orientation, there were too many things he wanted to complain about in this confession.

Loved it a long time ago? Is his radial arc that long? He always thought that Hao Ren just regarded him as a good friend.

Wait, isn't he standing in the position of the heroine of green tea biao in the original novel now?

So he, who is not interesting to Hao Ren, also wants to send a good person card to Hao Ren? He thought that he had crooked the original plot to the Atlantic, but he didn't expect that the ending of Hao Ren's plot was still waiting here, the top floor of the confession to the heroine.

He wanted to ask whether it was worse to be rejected by the opposite sex or to be rejected by the same sex?

Although he indirectly protected Brother Hao Ren from the poisonous hands of the pseudo-White Lotus heroine, he accidentally bent the straight man Brother Hao Ren, can this be worth the credit?

When Pei Zixu was still stuck in the brain hole he had dug up, he couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't think of how to reject Hao Ren.

Hao Ren looked at Pei Zixu, who was dumbfounded, with love and sentimentality in his eyes.

"It's just what I want to say to you, I don't want you to respond to my feelings, so don't fret. I just want to make a break with this relationship today, I don't want to like you anymore. Because most of what I like about you is that I take care of myself and impose my fantasies about you on you, beautiful and special you, and all I like is you in my fantasy.

After Minana fell overboard, I thought about it for a long time and was angry with you for a long time. But I find that I am angry with you because you did not go to save Minana as I expected and selflessly, and you did what you thought you should do. That's when I realized how terrible it is to impose delusions on yourself, so I'm not in a position to blame you.

After seeing that what I like is the you in my fantasy, I want to bury this feeling, but it is not easy. So while I want to say goodbye to you today, I also make a break for my feelings. I will leave Hall the day after tomorrow and go to a more professional training base, and I find this place really out of place for me, and it seems that this time I will live up to my parents' expectations. ”

After Hao Ren put away the love for Pei Zixu in his eyes, more calmness and relief filled it.

Looking at Hao Ren like this, Pei Zixu really liked this big boy who had grown up, and what he said just now was really handsome.

In fact, he never hated Hao Ren from the beginning, but he lived too clean and pure, which made people jealous and wanted to make him filthy, but he also wanted to be close to him to protect his cleanliness, hoping that he could purify himself. This kind of dilemma can only make people stop at an awkward distance in the end.

Infected by Hao Ren's calmness, Pei Zixu also showed a real smile to Hao Ren.

Having taken care of himself and imposing his delusions on him, and then taking care of himself and liking him, and now he has put away this feeling by himself, and he only now finds out that Hao Ren still has such a willful side.
