Chapter 13: Missing is a pain that breathes
Pei Yanqiao sank with a smile on his lips when he heard this, looked down at the steak on the plate, and after a few seconds, he only heard a "clank", he dropped the fork in his hand and leaned back in the chair, "No wonder you suddenly helped me cut the steak, it was so good to me, it turns out that your intention is here." Wei Weiyi, if you want me to let you go back, do you think that's enough? ”
Wei Wei had felt that Pei Yanqiao's uncertain temperament changed his face faster than turning a book, but at this moment, it was vividly embodied, she took a sip of the red wine in her hand and took a sip leisurely, not taking Pei Yanqiao's threat in her eyes at all, "Please make it clear, I am informing you, not consulting with you, or asking for your opinion." I don't want to get too hard with you, it's really getting to that point, and I don't mind breaking the net with you. ”
Pei Yanqiao was dumbfounded, he didn't actually want to threaten Wei Weiyi, he just proposed to make her treat her better, thinking that she would at least be soft, but he forgot that she also likes to be tough.
"Anyway, if your performance doesn't satisfy me, I won't let you go back to China." Pei Yanqiao was originally not allowed to drink, but he was really bored in his heart, so he reached over and added red wine to his cup, and drank it all, "I don't have to break the net with you, your passport has already been obtained by me, so how can you go back to China without my permission?" ”
"You're .........!" Wei Wei endured it, sneered and said, "You are really challenging my dislike for you, I still have some affection for you, now?" Hehe......... You won Pei Yanqiao. After she finished speaking, she got up and went over to Ning Xiao's side, and there was a cracking sound of glass and wine glasses behind her, probably because Pei Yanqiao didn't hold it steady, Wei Wei didn't pay attention to it, Ning Xiao hurriedly ran over to treat Pei Yanqiao with the open wound on his palm.
Pei Yanjin saw that Wei Wei's face was not good-looking, and it was estimated that Pei Yanqiao was very angry, so he asked gently, "Do you want to eat dessert?" In this way, you can improve your mood. ”
"Red date lotus seed porridge." Wei Wei only realized that this was Duan Xuchu's favorite food, but he didn't eat it again after that, he said it was too sweet and he didn't like it very much, and now how is he feeling? Will he still eat this kind of porridge to relieve the bitterness in his heart?
"Ah Chu .........." Wei Weiyi's hand clenched the tablecloth tightly, muttering Duan Xuchu's name in his heart, and it was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Pei Yanjin was stunned for a moment, and tactfully reminded Wei Wei that this was a Western restaurant, "Why do you want to eat this?" ”
"Because there's a man who likes it very much." The so-called deep love, is it that after he left, she lived her life into his life, and she turned many of his habits into her own habits?
Pei Yanjin nodded, "I know, I'll tell them to do it." He called the waiter and told them what he wanted in fluent English.
Ning Xiao walked over at this time, "Yan Qiao's hand injury needs to be stitched up, I'll take him back to the hospital first, and you can continue to eat." ”
Pei Yanjin frowned his slender eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at Pei Yanqiao over there, he looked very worried, "Doesn't it matter?" ”
"Mother-in-law's." Ning Xiao's tone was a little bad, obviously jealous of his brother, "How many times have he been shot before, and he hasn't seen anything, but he was slashed by a knife today, are you worried?" ”
Pei Yanjin replied very seriously: "At that time, he was still on Infernal Island, and I didn't know him. If he had participated in Pei Yanqiao's growth in those years, then he would definitely protect Pei Yanqiao better.
Ning Xiao's heart twitched, and she didn't stop any longer, she turned around and left.
Wei Wei turned her head to look at Ning Xiao's back, the moment the glass door opened, the cold wind and snowflakes blew over, and Ning Xiao's long black hair flew up, making her figure even thinner.
"She likes you very much." Wei Wei retracted his gaze and said to Pei Yanjin: "It's impossible for you not to know, why don't you try to accept it?" ”
Pei Yanjin didn't answer and asked, "Pei Yanqiao also likes you very much, why can't you accept it?" He curled his lips and smiled bitterly, "Actually, the answer is the same, I have only loved two people in my life, one is my first girlfriend, and the second is ......... After all, as you said, the emotional thing is barely coming, not necessarily the other party likes me, I don't like her, she is sad, I have to be responsible. People can be fraternal, but the most important thing is to see your heart and what you want. ”
Wei Wei buried his head silently.
She didn't do it, and in the end, this time with Duan Xuchu, she kept retreating and evading, and didn't dare to face up to the relationship between herself and Duan Xuchu again, but selfishly used Pei Yanqiao to get rid of Duan Xuchu, and in the end hurt the three of them at the same time.
In contrast, Pei Yanjin is rational and mature in the relationship, and just a few words are actually indirectly comforting her.
The red date lotus seed porridge was quickly served, Wei Wei tasted it, I don't know if it was the chef's problem, she ate such a sweet thing, she felt so bitter in her heart, suddenly a big teardrop fell down, Wei Wei's heart hurt like a knife.
She misses Duan Xuchu very much, and misses him very much.
And here in China, Duan Xuchu was sitting in the office, the documents on the table were piled up, he signed his name after reading it, the font was smooth and vigorous, who knew that in the next second, his heart suddenly hurt, the pen stopped there, the black ink stained the documents, and he raised his hand to hold down the throbbing heart.
This time he didn't look for medicine, clearly knowing that he thought of Wei Weiyi for no reason, and he was clearly still focused on his work, but at this moment he missed her without any warning.
He had always known that Wei Wei had occupied every crevice in his heart and body for so many years, it was her in his dreams, she was her when he was eating, even when he was busy now, her appearance would still get into his mind, she was deep in his bone marrow, making him hurt all the time, and making it difficult for him to breathe.
Duan Xuchu closed the folder, and saw that the time was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, he got up and walked to the huge transparent glass window, and looked down downstairs from a high place with his hands in his hands, and the scene of most of the city was in full view, as if all living beings were under his control, but the height and status he pursued many years ago did not have that state of mind at this moment.
He finally realized the loneliness and loneliness of the high place, just because he didn't have her by his side.
The subordinate knocked on the door outside, and after being allowed to come in, he asked if he could get off work, Duan Xuchu waved his hand and asked the subordinate to go back first.
"Mr. Duan was also earlier." In the eyes of this subordinate of the Duan family chaebol, Duan Xuchu is a very capable man at work, and in just a few days after his return, the Duan family chaebol gradually stabilized the scattered sand, even if some people who have different intentions towards him, because of his true talent and learning, they have to rely on him at this time.
But in the same way, Duan Xuchu, the new controller, is too hard, often very late, when his subordinates pass under the building, he can always clearly see that only the light in his office is still on in the entire high-rise building, according to the first person who came to the company to clean the next day, Duan Xuchu is also the first to arrive at the company every day.
In the eyes of his subordinates, even if the Duan family's chaebol is at a critical juncture, there is no need for Duan Xuchu to play so hard.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Duan Xuchu would turn off the office lights in the second half of the night every night, and then stand in front of the glass window until the sky was bright and white, and such a difficult night would pass again.
***
Wei Weiyi spent a long time eating the bowl of red date and lotus seed porridge, raised his head and smiled at Pei Yanjin, "It tastes good, thank you." ”
Pei Yanjin raised her eyebrows, "Thank you for what I did, I didn't do it." He called the waiter to settle the bill, put his hand in the pocket of his coat and walked out with Wei Weiyi.
Wei Wei didn't want to go back to the hospital, so he walked slowly along the street with Pei Yanjin, there was still light snow in the sky, and they were very good-looking, which made Wei Wei feel very meaningful, and put himself in the snowflakes with his face up.
Pei Yanjin silently accompanied Wei Weiyi, occasionally stopping and standing with Wei Weiyi, the sky was dark, the neon lights were lit up one after another, Wei Wei looked at Pei Yanjin on her side, her lips had a slight smile, "No wonder Ning Xiao likes you so much, in fact, staying with you, there will be no pressure and burden in my heart, but it is very relaxed and comfortable." ”
Whether it is Li Shaochong, who has done too many things to hurt them by unscrupulous means, or Pei Yanjin, who loves and guards with all her heart and never asks for anything in return, Wei Wei found that she couldn't hate this man.
Under the night light, Pei Yanjin's beautiful lips were outlined, and her voice teased in a low voice, "This is my honor." ”
Wei Wei's brows were furrowed all the time, and he took a deep breath and continued to walk forward, only to find that they had walked on another street at some point, and the phoenix trees were planted on both sides as street trees, and the treetops were full of fiery red flowers, and the branches and foliage were dense like a barrier to cover most of the falling snowflakes, and people stood under the trees as if they were in another quiet and romantic space, and the lights were also red, shining on the petals on the ground, spreading into a gorgeous carpet, extending into the distance with no end in sight.
When Wei Wei looked up, the red petals and the snow were falling and dancing together, as if to welcome a rain of petals from the sky, which was beautiful and amazing, Wei Wei looked at it, but his eyes were red, "I used to think that this kind of flower only bloomed in summer. ”
Pei Yanjin saw that Wei Wei's expression was wrong, so he pondered and continued: "The varieties are different, and the climate here is not cold." ”
"Hmm." Wei Wei didn't say anything more, recalling her birthday in the year she lived with Duan Xuchu, and Duan Xuchu gave her phoenix flowers.
At that time, she understood it as parting, after all, she and Duan Xuchu were separated soon after, in fact, looking back at this moment, what Duan Xuchu wanted to express with the phoenix flower was actually missing her every minute.
"Your favorite phoenix flower at home is blooming, go back and see it if you have time." This sentence naturally popped up in his mind, Duan Xuchu stood in the wind and snow in front of the car window that night, his tall figure was reflected on the glass, but it constituted a thin silhouette of Xiao Suo, he looked at her from a distance that seemed to be thousands of rivers and mountains, and finally turned around and walked in the snow, gradually disappearing from her sight.
Wei Wei raised her hand to cover her mouth, she could no longer bear the sharp pain in her heart, she slowly bent down and squatted on the ground, her long hair fell down to cover her trembling shoulders, and her back became more and more helpless on the narrow and wide road.
Duan Xuchu, why can I meet the bits and pieces of our past wherever I go, is it that the road we have traveled together is too long, and there are too many scenery we have seen together? So even if I escape the whole world, am I destined to not be able to escape your breath?
Pei Yanjin still stood silently beside Wei Weiyi, accompanying her for a few hours, Wei Weiyi got up by himself, his face returned to normal, and walked forward in a light tone, "Go back." ”
The phoenix flower rain fell one by one behind her, and when Wei Wei left that road, she didn't look back again, since she had given up, she cut off all thoughts, she didn't plan to see the phoenix flower at home.
Wei Weiyi and Pei Yanjin went back to the hospital together, Pei Yanqiao slept and woke up, was sitting at the head of the bed waiting for Wei Weiyi, and after seeing it, he sneered and said, "I thought you ran away?" Wei Weiyi, I tell you, useless. Now Duan Xuchu didn't let people protect you in secret, on the contrary, they were all replaced by my people, so as long as you want to escape, I will arrest you back, and I won't give you even the least freedom if you are locked in a house. ”
Wei Wei disagreed, and said coldly: "You can only control me for the past few days." After she finished speaking, she walked into the inner room, and the voice of Pei Yanqiao gritting her teeth came from behind her, "Then let's not go back." ”
When Wei Wei came out again, Pei Yanjin and Ning Xiao had already gone back to the hotel, Wei Wei took the quilt and spread it on the sofa, put on his clothes and closed his eyes and was about to sleep, with a large shadow in front of him, Pei Yanqiao's long figure stood in front of her sofa, "I sleep on the sofa, you go to bed to sleep." ”
Wei Wei sat up and asked calmly, "You mean I can sleep in a bed, right?" ”
Hearing this sentence, Pei Yanqiao felt very uncomfortable, and stared down at Wei Weiyi, "I didn't abuse you." ”
"Really?" Wei Wei laughed self-deprecating and sneering, "But what's the difference between your behavior and house arrest, I'm a prisoner now, right?" Without personal freedom, whatever you say, you are what you are. ”
Pei Yanqiao wanted to argue, but Wei Wei Wei had already picked up the quilt and walked to the inner room, and then closed the door from the inside without hesitation.
Pei Yanqiao was shocked by the sound, stood stiffly in place, for a long time he clenched his fist and smashed it on the glass, with the sound of "bang", his hands were full of blood, he lowered his head and his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down.
And the only thing in the inner room sent a message to Nan Nan to say good night as usual, and Nan Nan quickly replied and asked her when she would go back.
"In a few days." Pei Yanqiao was injured, and she had to wait at least until Pei Yanqiao was discharged from the hospital.
Nan Nan didn't ask anything more, and asked her to take good care of herself in the message.
"Okay, go to sleep." Wei Wei finished sending this text message with a soft smile on her lips, put away her phone and sat there with her knees hugged, the snow was still falling outside the window, and she watched the snow all night.
And in the office, thousands of miles away, there were also people who stood motionless in front of the window like statues all night.
