When Pei Tingqing heard this cousin, he was stunned for a moment, and then lightly dropped three words, "Call the eldest brother." ”

Pei Shuyi changed, "Oh, big brother." ”

She was still so obedient, the indifference at that moment just now was just an illusion on his part, Pei Tingqing's heart suddenly softened, he bent his legs and put the crystal ball on his knees, he turned the crystal ball at will with one hand, pretending to be nothing, and asked Pei Shuyi like a casual chatter, "How do you know that I called you?" ”

After all, they hadn't been in touch for a year, and she was not surprised to suddenly receive a call from him?

"Among the people I know, only the eldest brother is abroad, and you will know it when you see the number."

As smart as she was, he thought that she had specially asked Huo Huiyuan for his contact information, Pei Tingqing pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds and still didn't hold back, "Are you in the school dormitory now?" You've had your period these days, does your stomach hurt? ”

"I thought my big brother forgot." Pei Shuyi's tone was light, and she couldn't hear any emotion, "Don't worry, I take good care of myself." ”

Pei Tingqing's palm paused there, his heart throbbed, thinking that in the past he doted on her and wanted to hold it in the palm of his hand, but now that she is independent after all, Pei Tingqing has an indescribable feeling in his heart, "Don't eat ice, if your stomach hurts, just ask my mother or a maid to boil brown sugar ginger water for you, if you can't do it, take medicine, don't bear it..........."

Pei Tingqing said softly, but he was interrupted by Pei Shuyi in the middle of speaking, "Big brother, I'm 17 years old, don't ask me about this in the future." ”

To put it simply, there is a difference between men and women, you shouldn't ask a girl about such a private matter, in the past, Pei Tingqing would say that I am your eldest brother, but at this moment he nodded and responded to the next word, "Okay." ”

Since he forcibly kissed her that night, she no longer simply treats him as a big brother, right? That's why she guards against him from the perspective of the opposite sex.

Thinking about it, there is actually no deep hatred, but he can't face Pei Shuyi calmly, Pei Shuyi's words are so blocked that he doesn't know what to say, but he is reluctant to hang up the phone.

A year of deliberate forgetting is simply an illusion, at this moment the protection in his heart collapsed again, and he let the feelings of a year be suppressed, only then did he know that he missed her so much, his heart hurt when he thought of it, and his breathing was a little unsmooth, even if he listened to her voice, he was satisfied.

"Big brother." When Pei Tingqing was silent, Pei Shuyi opened her mouth and said, "I'll share something worthy of happiness with you." ”

Pei Tingqing smiled on his lips when he heard this, "You say, I'm listening." ”

She could still tell him her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, which was enough to move him, but who knew that Pei Shuyi's next sentence made Pei Tingqing cold from head to toe, and heaven fell into the abyss.

She said: "Today, Wei Chengshu confessed to me again, and I promised him. ”

"What?" At the same time as these two words were spoken, the crystal ball on his knee slipped out of his hand and shattered when it rolled to the ground.

Pei Tingqing's heart shook suddenly, and he turned his head stiffly to look over, only to see the slag all over the ground, and the pink roses were still so fresh and gorgeous, but at this moment, Pei Tingqing's face was as pale as death, and he didn't react for a long time.

Today happened to be Saturday, and at this moment Pei Shuyi was lying on the bed, looking at the bouquet of red roses that Wei Chengshu gave her during the day on the bedside table, there were 99 of them, Pei Shuyi didn't care about what Pei Tingqing broken, "I told my aunt just now, she said that as long as it doesn't affect my studies, I like it myself." ”

Pei Tingqing's thin lips trembled, one of his hands slowly clenched into a fist, and he spoke with difficulty, "Shuyi, you listen to the eldest brother." You're still young, it's too early to fall in love, and Wei Chengshu is five years older than you, so the two of you may not be suitable. ”

Pei Shuyi didn't hear anything wrong, after all, the eldest brother has always played the role of disciplining her, "I'm not young, I fell in love at the age of 13 at school, and I was pregnant at the age of 15, and although Chengshu is older than me, I think this is more stable and knows how to take care of people, and my aunt said the same." Chengshu has pursued me for a year, and I have thought about it very clearly, and now I just want to inform my eldest brother about you. ”

Pei Tingqing pursed his lips, and in addition to the pain in his chest, there was also some anger.

He didn't speak for a long time, and Pei Shuyi also knew that he might be angry, but it was impossible for her to break off with Wei Chengshu because he didn't like it, after all, she was not the Pei Shuyi who listened to him before.

Pei Shuyi waited for a while, frowned and asked, "Is there anything else going on with the eldest brother?" If not, I'll hang up, and I'll go to learn karate tomorrow. ”

Pei Tingqing saw that the time was already half past twelve, Valentine's Day had passed, what was the meaning of his call to her? Instead of telling her that he missed her, he thought of last year's Valentine's Day, and he didn't express his heart, but knew such a cruel thing.

Pei Tingqing smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, you can rest early." ”

"Hmm."

"Good night."

Pei Shuyi was about to hang up the phone, and when she heard these two words, she added: "Big brother, the meaning of Chengshu saying good night is 'I love you love you', so I won't say it to you, the eldest brother, in the future, and the eldest brother can only say it to his girlfriend." ”

"Really?" Pei Tingqing clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, his eyes were bloodshot under the light, but his tone was as usual, he could hide it well no matter when, "I really don't know, but now that you remind me, I won't say it to your sister in the future." ”

"Hmm." Pei Shuyi answered, then hung up the phone, lay there on her side and looked at the gorgeous roses, and confirmed her relationship with Wei Chengshu, she should be happy, but why are her eyes so sour?

After a day of playing outside with Wei Chengshu today, she was already very tired, but Pei Shuyi couldn't fall asleep over and over again, and wanted to do something to pass the time.

Wei Chengshu happened to send a text message, "Xiaoxiaoshu, have you slept?" Don't reply to me when you sleep, if you don't sleep, just talk with me for a while, I seem to be too excited, and I haven't fallen asleep until now after I came back. ”

Pei Shuyi was a little amused when she saw it, and she couldn't sleep, she replied, "Are you stupid?" If you really want me to rest, you shouldn't disturb me at this time, or even if I sleep, I will be woken up by you. ”

Wei Chengshu over there waited for a reply, but he didn't expect Pei Shuyi's speed to be so fast, he immediately replied, "Really?" So you can't sleep like me, are you also like playing excited? It turns out that the first time I fell in love, it was like this. ”

"You can't eat or sleep alone, you just care about silly fun, right?" Pei Shuyi felt that she could become boyfriend and girlfriend with Wei Chengshu, it was a matter of course, she had a faint feeling, not at all like Wei Chengshu, this was related to her own calm personality, she was not a passionate girl.

Wei Chengshu replied again, "Okay, Xiaoxiaoshu, you are the most calm, but for me, I have pursued you for so long, and you finally agreed to be my girlfriend, it is impossible for me not to be excited, and it is estimated that I will not be able to sleep for several nights." ”

Pei Shuyi couldn't help laughing, "It's not a big boy again, as for that?" I'm going to learn karate tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first. ”

"I'll go with you, remember to turn off your phone before going to sleep, good night Xiaoxiaoshu."

"Hmm." Pei Shuyi turned off her mobile phone after sending it successfully, and she still couldn't sleep with her eyes open.

And here Pei Tingqing called Pei Shuyi again, and the prompt said that the other party had turned off the phone, Pei Tingqing listened to it a few times, put down the phone a little dejectedly, took the cigarette from the bedside table, and this night he sat on the head of the bed and smoked all night in the dark room.

At dawn the next day, he called Huo Huiyuan to confirm, "Mom, do you agree that Shuyi and Wei Chengshu are in love?" ”

"Shuyi told her mother last night, I have already said that I have no objection to them, and I am quite satisfied with the child Chengshu." Here, Huo Huiyuan had already gotten up and was making breakfast in the kitchen downstairs, with Bluetooth headphones in her ears and said to Pei Tingqing, "In the year you are away, Chengshu is taking care of Shuyi, and my mother can see that Chengshu likes Shuyi very much." Chengshu is not the kind of person who plays with feelings, steady, mature, considerate and gentle, the most important thing is to be good to Shuyi, and Shuyi promised me that it would not affect her studies, she is good enough, her mother doesn't want to be too strict with her, after all, she is a girl. ”

Huo Huiyuan didn't connive at Pei Shuyi, she thought about it from all aspects, and came to the conclusion that this was indeed the case, but Pei Tingqing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how you say it, she is only 17 years old and still studying, if the two of them do that kind of thing impulsively, Shuyi accidentally got pregnant, Mom, have you considered the consequences?" ”

Huo Huiyuan laughed, "You're thinking too far, Shuyi is not that kind of girl." ”

"She's not, it doesn't mean that Wei Chengshu won't guide her, after all, .........."

"Alright." Huo Huiyuan interrupted Pei Tingqing, "Since you are so worried, you can teach her personally." I'll tell her again when I get back, I'm making breakfast, and Shuyi is going to class in a while, so I won't tell you more, I'll hang up first. ”

Before Pei Tingqing could speak, the phone was hung up, Pei Tingqing pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his arm and smashed the phone against the opposite wall.

With a "bang", Pei Tingqing's chest also vibrate, bent his legs and buried his head in the crook of his arm, his fingers tightened and grasped his hair one by one, it was the first time he was so manic since he had grown so big.

He's going crazy.

Just as soon as he heard that Pei Shuyi and Wei Chengshu were dating, he couldn't stand it.

Huo Huiyuan said that he thought too much, yes, he just thought of Pei Shuyi snuggling up to Wei Chengshu's chest, Pei Shuyi and Wei Chengshu kissing, Pei Shuyi will soon be AI with Wei Chengshu, and her beauty must belong to other men after all.......... Thinking of this, he collapsed, he was indifferent and indifferent for a year, it was all about him deceiving himself, he was not like Li Jiayao said, he was just interested in Pei Shuyi for a while, he would find a second girl he really liked.

It's all nonsense, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally understood that if he was given another ten years, he wouldn't be able to stop loving Pei Shuyi.

Pei Tingqing's fingers ran through his hair, and he grabbed it irritably.

What to do?

What if you don't want her to belong to another man?

***

Pei Shuyi got up and went downstairs to the restaurant, Huo Huiyuan had just put breakfast on the table, Pei Shuyi greeted Huo Huiyuan with a smile, "Auntie, good morning." ”

"You're so happy?" Huo Huiyuan raised her eyebrows and sat opposite Pei Shuyi, "I just fell in love, didn't you fall asleep last night?" ”

Now that Pei Shuyi is getting closer to Huo Huiyuan, Huo Huiyuan treats her like her own daughter, and she naturally regards Huo Huiyuan as her mother in her heart, and said affectionately: "Auntie, you will also joke." ”

Huo Huiyuan smiled softly, and remembered what Pei Tingqing said on the phone, although she was very relieved of Pei Shuyi, she still took the trouble to remind Pei Shuyi, "Shuyi, the eldest aunt really has no objection to you and Chengshu falling in love, but I hope you can both grasp the degree well, and you can't have a relationship because of impulsiveness, or curiosity and freshness, you know?" Otherwise, if something happens at that time, your life will be ruined. ”

In the past few years, Pei Shuyi has been exposed to it, and she understands more and more in this regard, hearing this, she put down the milk in her hand, nodded and said seriously: "I know, don't worry, auntie, Chengshu is not that kind of person." ”

"It's good that you have your own measure."

Pei Shuyi's mobile phone vibrated at this time, she took it and saw a message from Wei Chengshu saying that he was waiting for her outside, Pei Shuyi had breakfast as usual, said hello to Huo Huiyuan and went out.

Wei Chengshu is still pedaling a bicycle, and he has become more and more upright and handsome over the years, looking like a gentle painting from a distance.

Pei Shuyi walked over with a book in her arms, and sat behind her with Wei Chengshu's waist, "Let's go." ”

Wei Chengshu stepped on the bicycle and occasionally turned around to say something to Pei Shuyi, but Pei Shuyi was still wearing a white skirt, her long hair was flying, her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were beautiful and calm, and in the most brilliant and innocent years, the picture in the morning light was beautiful and vivid.

***

This year, Pei Shuyi was 17 years old, did not skip a grade, studied in the third year of high school as usual, and no longer only stayed in the comic book store on weekends, but spent the only leisure time on improving her self-cultivation, calligraphy, tea ceremony and flower arrangement, she all learned.

On the evening of Saturday, Pei Shuyi returned to Pei's house to learn ikebana, holding a handful of carnations in her hand, ready to give them to Huo Huiyuan after inserting them, who knew that when she walked into the living room, she saw the back sitting in front of the piano.

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "Big brother? ”

Pei Tingqing turned his head when he heard the voice, and the first thing that caught his eye was the white figure, she hadn't grown a lot taller in a year, her hair was also very long, wearing a white sundress, revealing the soft lines of her shoulders, her skin was fair and delicate, the whole person looked slender, soft and boneless, and she was holding a handful of pink carnations on her chest.

I missed her so much when I couldn't see her, but now that I saw her, I just wanted to hug her tightly and rub it into his chest, but Pei Tingqing clenched his fists, restrained him stiffly, looked to the side, and responded lightly, "Hmm." ”

Pei Shuyi also looked at Pei Tingqing in a daze, compared with a year ago, the eldest brother is more and more handsome and mature, his face is resolute, and there is a light breeze between his eyebrows, he no longer wears a snow-white shirt, but a black casual long-sleeved shirt, which is well-cut and outlines his perfect body line, and the watch on his left wrist adds more and more charm to him, cool and elegant.

The remnant sun outside the window was as grand and magnificent as blood, enveloping his whole person, so amazing that people couldn't take their eyes off it, until Huo Huiyuan came out of the kitchen with the cut fruit, "Shuyi is back?" ”

Pei Shuyi came back to her senses at this time, walked to Huo Huiyuan's side, and handed her the carnation in her arms, "Auntie, I specially bought it from the flower shop." Although it is still early for Mother's Day, the meaning of when to send it is the same, thank you aunt for taking care of me in the past few years. ”

Huo Huiyuan took the flower, her eyes were a little red, and she stretched out a hand to hug Pei Shuyi, "Thank you." ”

Pei Shuyi hugged Huo Huiyuan instead, and after a while took the vase and scissors from the servant, she lowered her head and trimmed, while Pei Tingqing sat beside her.

Pei Shuyi's movements paused, she hadn't seen her for a year, and even she felt too alienated from her eldest brother, so she bit her lip and asked, "Is the eldest brother coming back for a vacation?" ”

Pei Tingqing looked down at Pei Shuyi's movements, her slender and white fingers shuttled between the red flowers and green leaves, so elegant and beautiful, "My studies are over, I don't have to go again in the future." ”

Pei Shuyi's heart trembled when she heard this, she almost cut her fingers, and nodded calmly, "So that's the case." The eldest brother is so free, he will leave when he says he will go, and he will come back when he says he will come back. ”

Pei Tingqing frowned, "What?" ”

"It's fine."

Huo Huiyuan went to the garden of the courtyard to play with those flowers and plants, there were only Pei Shuyi and Pei Tingqing in the living room, Pei Tingqing's eyes were always locked on Pei Shuyi, "Dressed like this?" ”

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and noticed that Pei Tingqing's gaze fell on her shoulder, so she reacted, frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Chengshu said it was very beautiful. ”

The sundress exposed her shoulders and arms, of course Wei Chengshu liked it as a man, but a small cluster of flames ignited in Pei Tingqing's eyes, and he pursed his lips and said, "You are just a high school student, don't wear such mature clothes in the future." ”

Pei Shuyi heard the words, and a faint mockery appeared on her lips, "Big brother, you don't care about me for a year, you don't even have a text message on weekdays, and you scold me as soon as you come back, what kind of mentality do you have?" ”

"I didn't scold you........."

Pei Shuyi shook her head, "I made you look unpleasant, didn't I?" Sorry, that's what I did. How I dress is my freedom, and my aunt doesn't think my dress is inappropriate, so why do you have nothing to do, big brother? She said as she put the flowers on the coffee table, got up and walked upstairs, "I'll go back to my room first." ”

Asking for trouble?

She was talking to him in such a tone now? Is it that she herself has changed, or has her attitude towards him alone changed.

Pei Tingqing got up abruptly and followed, and before Pei Shuyi closed the door, he stepped in, suddenly grabbed Pei Shuyi's thin wrist, and threw Pei Shuyi on the door panel.

Pei Shuyi's head was dizzy, she frowned in pain, she wanted to resist but was not Pei Tingqing's opponent, so she had to raise her head and stare at Pei Tingqing, "It hurts." ”

Pei Tingqing ignored it, stepped forward and trapped Pei Shuyi in his chest, his dark gaze tightly twisted her, "Shuyi, you are angry with me, you are blaming me for not taking you abroad a year ago, right?" ”
