Chapter 11: Love Captive (Thanks to @Hanhan Baby Diamond)
When Pei Shuyi woke up, Pei Tingqing was standing in front of the window with his back to her and making a phone call, his tall figure was reflected in the glass window, and the face under the ink hair was looming.
His voice was very low, he should have instructed the person over there to investigate this matter on the phone, Pei Shuyi lay there quietly, and waited until Pei Tingqing hung up the phone, she made a hoarse voice, "Big brother." โ
Pei Tingqing's shoulders shook obviously, and he turned around suddenly, seeing that Pei Shuyi was already holding his arms and sitting up by himself, he walked over in a few big strides, and hugged Pei Shuyi suddenly without saying anything, "Shuyi." โ
"Hmm.........." Pei Tingqing's solid chest was clinging to Pei Shuyi's delicate body through Pei Shuyi's hospital gown, she could clearly feel the tension and heat of Pei Tingqing's muscles, her chest rose and fell violently, and she hugged Pei Shuyi so tightly, "Big brother." โ
She broke free, but Pei Tingqing tightened his arms around her more and more, and buried his head on her shoulder, "Don't move, let me hold for a while." โ
"Oh." Pei Shuyi originally wanted to say that Pei Tingqing touched her wound, but when she heard this, she obediently nestled in Pei Tingqing's arms and didn't move.
It took a long time for Pei Tingqing to let go of Pei Shuyi, seeing her pale face and enduring the pain, Pei Tingqing realized something, and touched Pei Shuyi's face with his palm, "Did I hurt you?" โ
"I'm fine." Pei Shuyi shook her head with a smile and pointed to the cup on the bedside table, "Big brother, I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water." โ
Pei Tingqing hurriedly got up and went to pour water, he was not so inconsiderate on weekdays, but when it happened to Pei Shuyi, he was flustered, and it wasn't until Pei Shuyi woke up that he slowly calmed down at this moment.
Pei Tingqing took the warm boiled water and brought it to Pei Shuyi's mouth, and after letting her drink it, he put the cup back again, sat at the head of the bed and stared at Pei Shuyi for a long time, "Do you know how stupid you are?" In that case, if you run over, if there is really something long and short, how sad do you make me? โ
"I didn't think about it that much." In contrast, Pei Shuyi is a matter of course, she looked at Pei Tingqing with a smile, "It's not that I don't care for my life, I just don't want my eldest brother to get hurt, and the moment I see my eldest brother bleeding, my heart hurts, it's not that I'm kind, it's just because the other party is the eldest brother." โ
Pei Tingqing only felt as if his throat was blocked by something, his thin lips trembled, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
He thought that Pei Shuyi blocked the knife for him, out of a kind act of righteousness and courage, and if she were someone else, she might be just desperate, or she was just repaying him for his kindness to her on weekdays, but she told him only because the other party was him.
He came from a prominent background, and he seemed to be glamorous and loved by thousands of people since he was a child, but in fact his biological father never raised and taught him, and his father didn't seem to have hugged him once since he could remember, not to mention other interactions between father and son, and only all kinds of homework and a gentle and virtuous mother accompanied him to grow up.
He has no real friends, except for his mother, no one in this world cares about him and cares about him, but now this sister, who has been with him for less than three years, is willing to trade her own life for his safety.
She was so stupid, but what he needed was such a desperate feeling.
He took her to the Peach Blossom Forest, and the flower language of the peach blossom is a captive of love, if he couldn't determine his feelings for her before, then at this moment he had to admit that his heart was finally captured by this seemingly simple girl, but the cruelest part of fate is that this girl is his sister who is related to him by blood.
No.
No.
This is against morality and ethics, he can't let himself fall in love with her, ruining himself and even more ruining her.
Pei Tingqing closed his eyes violently, his two fists were clenched, and pale blue blood vessels appeared on the back of his thin and white hands.
Pei Shuyi was a little puzzled when she saw this, and after a while, she remembered something, and asked worriedly: "Big brother, are you also injured, are you better now?" โ
As she spoke, she was about to turn Pei Tingqing over to look at his back, but her wrist was grabbed by Pei Tingqing, and he stared at her with an extremely complicated gaze, "I have already asked the doctor to deal with it, this little injury is nothing to me." โ
"Hmm." Pei Shuyi nodded, she could feel the pain of the wound on her back, she turned sideways to avoid pressing it, looked at Pei Tingqing and asked, "What's the matter with those people, did the eldest brother find out?" โ
Pei Tingqing leaned over and gave Pei Shuyi a pillow, "A girlfriend who broke up a few days ago held a grudge against me, so she spent money to buy those gangsters in society to take revenge on me." He sat back on the bed and stroked Pei Shuyi's hair, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." โ
"Poofโโโ" Pei Shuyi couldn't help laughing, "Although I think that each other is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer, and they will break up if they are not suitable, but big brother, you should be cautious when you have a girlfriend in the future." โ
Pei Tingqing peeled the apple on the table, and glanced at Pei Shuyi with those slender eyes when he heard the words, "Are you still smiling at this time?" Do you think that being stabbed is such a light injury as breaking the skin? My third uncle said that he would be hospitalized for a few days, and I asked for leave from the school, and my mother will come over later. โ
As he expected, she is not as delicate as she seems, and if she were other daughters, it is estimated that she would have been crying for a long time, and she can still be calm, which shows that her heart is very strong.
"Auntie knows, too?" Pei Shuyi didn't want Huo Huiyuan to worry.
"This hospital is owned by the Pei family's chaebol, and the threads that my third uncle sewed for you in the operating room, it is impossible to hide it from my mother, and my mother knows about it, and there is one more person to take care of you." Pei Tingqing's white and slender fingers held the fruit knife, and the peeled apple was not broken off a bit, but was pulled down into a long string, and even the stripes crossed by the knife were so regular and clear.
This is a technical job, Pei Shuyi reached out to get those apple peels, "Big brother even peels apples so beautiful." As she spoke, she put the apple peel in her mouth and chewed it.
When Pei Tingqing saw it, he said helplessly: "Our family is not poor enough to eat apple peels, right?" Don't tell me I shouldn't waste it. โ
"No, it's not." Pei Shuyi ate with relish, "There are more nutrients in apple peels, do you want to try it?" โ
Pei Tingqing didn't eat it, Pei Shuyi had a mischievous mentality, stuffed it into his mouth, something flashed in Pei Tingqing's eyes, and then Pei Shuyi's index finger was bitten by Pei Tingqing's teeth, and he deliberately used force.
"You .........." When Pei Shuyi whispered and withdrew her finger, her finger had been bitten by Pei Tingqing, and blood beads were bursting.
Pei Shuyi gasped in pain, and put her finger into her mouth and sucked it regardless of it, and there was still the liquid that Pei Tingqing had just left on her finger.
She didn't notice this ambiguous little action, but Pei Tingqing, who was chewing the apple peel, slowly froze, her eyes locked on her finger sucking action, and her eyes darkened little by little.
She's like this, it's considered that they are entangled, right? I just don't know what it tastes like in her lips, will it make people want to eat it as much as it seems?
At this time, Huo Huiyuan knocked on the door outside, and Pei Tingqing retracted his gaze, got up and walked over to open the door.
After Huo Huiyuan came in, she didn't even greet Pei Tingqing, so she walked directly to the head of the bed and sat down, grabbing Pei Shuyi's wrist, "Shuyi, Tingqing told me, it's better now, will it hurt?" โ
Before Pei Shuyi could speak, Huo Huiyuan's tears fell, and they smashed on the back of Pei Shuyi's hand one by one, "I'm sorry Shuyi, my aunt didn't take good care of you and let you encounter such danger." If something really happens, how do you think I will have the face to see your parents in the future? โ
In the past few years that Pei Shuyi came to the Pei family, her aunt treated her better than her own daughter, and regarded her as a treasure in the palm of her hand.
At this moment, she was injured, and the eldest aunt was sad to be like this, Pei Shuyi originally thought it was nothing, but when the eldest aunt cried like this, her eyes were also a little moist and hot, "Auntie, I'm fine, it's not painful anymore." โ
As she spoke, she found a handkerchief to wipe Huo Huiyuan's tears, Huo Huiyuan calmed down for a while, and then turned her head and asked Pei Tingqing beside her, "What's the matter, you were blocked by gangsters for no reason, what kind of enemy did you have?" โ
Pei Ting replied lightly, "Ex-girlfriend's revenge." โ
Huo Huiyuan held her forehead when she heard this, "I just said don't play with girls' feelings, you have tasted the bitterness now, right?" And it also caused Shuyi to suffer with you, do you say that you still have a little manly spirit? โ
Although it seems that Pei Tingqing is not close to Huo Huiyuan's mother on weekdays, he respects and loves his mother very much, and if he does something wrong, he will not shirk his responsibility, Pei Tingqing pursed his lips, "I will deal with it." โ
Huo Huiyuan nodded, and her voice suddenly became low, "Do you need Mom's help?" โ
Even if Pei Zongyou has long stopped treating her as a wife in his heart, and she is not favored by Pei Zongyou's side, no matter how she says that she still has a real name like "Mrs. Pei Family Chaebol", she still holds a lot of power in her hands.
"I don't need my mother to come forward, I'll take care of it myself."
In the past, Pei Shuyi felt that a wealthy family like the Pei family chaebol was no different from other ordinary families, for example, there would be no legendary intrigue and power struggle, what she had seen in the past few years was the scene of husband and wife love and family harmony, but at this moment, when she heard the conversation between the mother and son, she realized that she seemed to be wrong.
Sometimes the apparent calm is the real scary.
Huo Huiyuan thought that Pei Tingqing was also injured, she couldn't help but grab Pei Tingqing's arm, and was about to check the wound on his lower back, Pei Shuyi also wanted to take a look, but Pei Tingqing didn't let her, "I'm fine." โ
Huo Huiyuan was stunned for a moment, then she noticed that Pei Tingqing's face was a little unnatural, and she smiled "poof", "Mom understands, now that you have grown up, you won't show your mother if you look at your back." โ
"Hmm." In fact, it's not that he doesn't show it to his mother, but he doesn't want Pei Shuyi to see it, after all, his feelings for Pei Shuyi are different now, if Pei Shuyi is defined as his woman, he is actually embarrassed to let Pei Shuyi see it.
Pei Tingqing turned his face away and noticed that Huo Huiyuan had brought food, and only after looking at the time did he know that it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and he and Pei Shuyi had not eaten yet.
Pei Tingqing walked over and opened the lunch box, served rice to Pei Shuyi, and added vegetables, and asked Huo Huiyuan to feed Pei Shuyi to eat, and he sat there and ate by himself.
During the period, Pei Tingqing's mobile phone on the coffee table vibrate, and when he took it and saw that it was a subordinate calling, Pei Tingqing hurriedly ate, got up and said hello to Huo Huiyuan and Pei Shuyi, and after he walked out of the ward, he walked down the stairs to the rooftop.
There was a man a few years older than Pei Tingqing waiting for Pei Tingqing, and after seeing Pei Tingqing, Wang Nan stepped forward and bowed his head to Pei Tingqing, "What does Pei Shao plan to do with those people and his 'ex-girlfriend'?" โ
Pei Tingqing stood on the top floor, the lights on the tall building opposite him shone on, he stood tall and tall, and the whole person revealed a posture that was unbearable from a high place.
The night breeze blew the inky hairline, and the face flickered in the neon lights, "Those eight people don't want to leave a single mouth, as for my ex-girlfriend........."
Pei Tingqing looked down at the night scene of most of the city, his expression was light and breezy, but he spit out such cruel words, "Didn't she try her best to climb into the man's bed?" Then find a few men to let her serve, and then film that scene and spread it on the college campus. โ
He has too many means to push a woman who is in her best years to hell, this is the woman who provokes him, and it hurts Pei Shuyi.
"Yes." Wang Nan is the one who Pei Tingqing fished out of prison two years ago, and now he really serves Pei Tingqing, in addition to a kindness, the most important thing is that Pei Tingqing gave him what he wanted, and after a little groaning, Wang Nan asked in a low voice: "How do you explain Li Jiayao?" After all, those eight people were his subordinates. โ
"I'll deal with him on his side, you can just do what I say."
"I see."
Pei Tingqing didn't say anything more, put one hand into the pocket of his pants, and the young man's thin and handsome figure walked towards the staircase, gradually drowning in darkness.
After Pei Tingqing returned to the ward, Huo Huiyuan went to inquire about the condition with the doctor, and Wei Chengshu was sitting at the head of the bed at this moment.
He and Pei Shuyi were very close, and he didn't know what to say to Pei Shuyi, Pei Shuyi smiled happily, and when it came to Pei Tingqing's ears, he felt harsh.
Pei Tingqing stood behind Wei Chengshu with very light steps, but his eyes were gloomy staring at Pei Shuyi, Wei Chengshu probably noticed it, but he pretended not to know and continued to talk to Pei Shuyi, and Pei Shuyi found out after a while that Pei Tingqing was standing there for some time, she was startled, "Big brother." โ
Pei Tingqing nodded, quietly withdrew his gaze, and looked at Wei Chengshu lightly, "Chengshu, you can go back." โ
Wei Chengshu stood up at this time, and when he saw Huo Huiyuan also coming in, he asked politely, "Auntie, if it's convenient, can I stay here tonight to accompany Shuyi?" โ
"It's inconvenient." Without waiting for Huo Huiyuan to answer, Pei Tingqing spit out these three words, and looked at Wei Chengshu with sharp eyes, where there was a warning.
Huo Huiyuan keenly felt the stiffness of the atmosphere, and she hurriedly walked over and said, "Tingqing, no matter what, it was Chengshu who rushed over in time to save you and Shuyi." โ
Pei Tingqing pursed his lips and did not speak.
In his opinion, one thing is the same thing, and it is impossible that because Wei Chengshu helped him, he let Wei Chengshu pursue Pei Shuyi.
He has always been principled, even if he owes Wei Chengshu this favor, he will pay it back in other ways.
