Chapter 9: He's Asking Too Much (Thanks @尛亞、Diamond)
On Saturday afternoon, after Pei Tingqing came out of school and got into Pei's car, he called Pei Shuyi and said straight to the point, "What time will you go home?" ”
Pei Shuyi is now 16 years old, she was supposed to be in the first year of high school, but she had to skip a grade, Pei Tingqing and Huo Huiyuan saw that she had excellent grades and there was no problem in skipping a grade, so they let her skip to the second year of high school, and she also began to live in the dormitory of the school, and only returned to Pei's house every Saturday.
And in the past year or so, because Pei Tingqing has made a few girlfriends and deliberately alienated Pei Shuyi, the two of them only meet on weekends, and they can't see Pei Shuyi for the first two or three days, Pei Tingqing doesn't feel much yet.
But as a year passed, he couldn't see Pei Shuyi for a day, and he felt panicked, but even if he missed her, he could only restrain himself.
Pei Shuyi had just finished class on the other side of the phone, Wei Chengshu was waiting for her at the school gate on a bicycle, and when she heard Pei Tingqing's inquiry, Pei Shuyi said: "I have to go to the comic bookstore, and I can go back at night." ”
"You're with Wei Chengshu?" Pei Tingqing asked, motioning for the driver to drive the car to Pei Shuyi's school.
Pei Shuyi responded, "Hmm." ”
Wei Chengshu was dressed in white and black pants with slender legs, one foot was propped up on the ground, Pei Shuyi was talking to Pei Tingqing, walked over and naturally sat in the back, holding Wei Chengshu's waist with one hand.
"Go home." Pei Ting said lightly, but undoubtedly: "Wait for me at the school gate, and I'll go over in three minutes." ”
Pei Shuyi frowned when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but Pei Tingqing hung up the phone directly, and she stared at the dark mobile phone screen with some annoyance.
After a while, Pei Shuyi got off Wei Chengshu's bicycle, "My eldest brother is coming to pick me up, you can go back by yourself." ”
Every Saturday, Wei Chengshu finally saw Pei Shuyi, but every time as long as Pei Tingqing made a phone call, Pei Shuyi went back obediently, Wei Chengshu endured it a few times, until today he was a little angry, "Let you go back, you will go back immediately, you can't resist?" Every time I make an appointment with you, but you don't have a single appointment, Xiaoxiaoshu, I will also get hurt. ”
Pei Shuyi also felt embarrassed, she bit her lip and looked up at Wei Chengshu again, "But the eldest brother is just as important, he is so good to me, I want to listen to him." If you are not happy, don't come to me again. ”
"You ........." Wei Chengshu was speechless, but he was just worried about this girl, and if he didn't let him come to her, it would be impossible, and in the end Wei Chengshu nodded like every time, "Okay, let's make an appointment again when we have time, I'll go first." ”
On weekdays, Wei Chengshu would wait for her to leave first, and Wei Chengshu would leave, but today he pedaled away on his bicycle after he said that, Pei Shuyi stood behind aggrievedly and looked at the young man's thin and straight back, she felt a little sad.
After a while, the Pei family's car stopped beside her, the door opened from the inside, Pei Shuyi sat in, and Pei Tingqing took the few books she was holding in her arms as usual.
Pei Tingqing didn't have many words, every time Pei Shuyi found a topic to tell him, such as some people and things in her school, or her teachers and courses, but today Pei Shuyi kept looking out of the car window and ignored Pei Tingqing.
Pei Tingqing pursed his lips, reached over to hold Pei Shuyi's shoulder, and turned her to face him, only to find that Pei Shuyi's eyes were red, Pei Tingqing frowned and asked distressedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Pei Shuyi suddenly said, "Big brother, you have a girlfriend, why don't you always interfere with me if you don't go with your girlfriend?" ”
High school and college are not far away, not to mention that the eldest brother is so famous, it is difficult for her to hear those rumors.
Pei Tingqing understood.
Pei Shuyi wanted to stay with Wei Chengshu and didn't want to go home, but he didn't let her be with Wei Chengshu, so she blamed him.
Pei Tingqing stared at Pei Shuyi's increasingly beautiful face, and after a few seconds, he nodded, didn't say anything, and asked the driver to stop the car.
Pei Shuyi didn't expect Pei Tingqing to be like this, she sat there and looked at Pei Tingqing blankly.
Pei Tingqing turned his face out of the car window, "What, you still want me to send you over?" His tone was light, but Pei Shuyi couldn't see the self-deprecation on his lips, "Get out of the car and walk over by yourself." ”
Pei Shuyi stared at Pei Tingqing, tears rolling out of her eyes, "You bullied me, it's obviously you who are wrong, you make me lose my trust every time." You're always with your girlfriend when I want to find you, and since that's .........."
"I don't have a girlfriend." Pei Tingqing interrupted Pei Shuyi, he couldn't hear her crying, he compromised and stretched out his finger to help her wipe her tears, "Big brother has never spent time on dating them, but big brother is busy with his studies and may ignore you." ”
He had no way to explain to Pei Shuyi that he was running away from her, because he himself was about to lose out what kind of feelings he had for Pei Shuyi, and he had to kill this relationship before he made a mistake.
However, seeing her quietly crying at this moment, he sighed, "Okay, you haven't grown anything in the past two years, and your crying skills are getting better and better, isn't it just that I can't stand your tears?" He wiped her tears with his warm fingertips and said pityingly: "I won't interfere with you, if you want to stay with Wei Chengshu in the future, stay together." ”
After all, she has her own interpersonal circle, and she is not small, and there are some aspects that he really does not want to interfere with.
Pei Shuyi didn't really cry, she only knew that as long as she cried, her eldest brother would follow her for everything, and now that her eldest brother is not angry, her goal has been achieved, and everyone is happy.
"It's just ........." Pei Tingqing hesitated, but still asked, "You tell the eldest brother, do you like Wei Chengshu?" In your mind, is Wei Chengshu important, or is Big Brother important? ”
The answer to this question Pei Shuyi didn't think about it, "I like Wei Chengshu and my eldest brother, but of course the eldest brother is more important than Wei Chengshu." The eldest brother is a relative, and Wei Chengshu is a friend. ”
Like Wei Chengshu.......... When he heard this, Pei Tingqing's heart twitched, and his palm rubbed Pei Shuyi's face, "Then you like Wei Chengshu, is it the same kind of liking as you like big brother?" ”
"yes." Pei Shuyi's tone of course.
Pei Tingqing stretched his eyebrows at this time, took Pei Shuyi's head over, his forehead pressed against Pei Shuyi's, and said softly but commandingly: "Okay, you promise the eldest brother, no boy is as important as the eldest brother in your mind." ”
He still wants to occupy the first position in Pei Shuyi's heart.
"Hmm."
Pei Tingqing was satisfied, and after letting go of Pei Shuyi, he instructed the driver in front of him to drive.
After returning to Pei's house, the two walked side by side to the house, Pei Shuyi noticed that she seemed to be short again, she frowned and said, "Big brother, what do you eat every day, why do you feel that you have grown a lot taller every week?" ”
"That's because you're growing too slowly." Pei Tingqing looked down at the girl who was not yet on her chest, Pei Shuyi had grown a lot taller this year, and she still looked weak and slender, but there should be no more than that, Pei Tingqing estimated her bust with his eyes.
In terms of his criteria for choosing a girlfriend, Pei Shuyi is not up to his ideal type, of course, he can't make Pei Shuyi his girlfriend, but he still has to raise Pei Shuyi to the most perfect standard.
Whether it's for himself or the people he cares about, he's going to be particularly demanding.
It was noon, when the two walked into the restaurant together, Huo Huiyuan had just finished the meal, and Pei Zongyou did not come back.
The more times Pei Zongyou went home this year, the less often she went home, every time Pei Shuyi asked Huo Huiyuan, Huo Huiyuan always used the excuse that Pei Zongyou was too busy to prevaricate Pei Shuyi, and at the same time comforted herself.
During the banquet, Pei Tingqing sandwiched the dishes for Pei Shuyi, Pei Shuyi ate quietly, Huo Huiyuan mentioned Pei Tingqing's matter, "I heard the son of Mrs. Yang say that you broke up with a girl yesterday." She said helplessly: "Mom isn't interfering with you, but you can't last longer?" Playing with girls' feelings, you can feel at ease. ”
"Toying?" Pei Tingqing raised his eyebrows and said disapprerovingly: "They didn't make any less money from me, and breaking up is just the fastest source of funds for them, but in two days, they will be able to find their next home again." ”
Huo Huiyuan put down her chopsticks when she heard this, "I actually don't understand, do you say your requirements are too high?" From face to figure, from family background to character and temperament, and from talent to values, etc., where do you go to find perfect people? Mom isn't worried about you falling in love now, but Mom is worried that you won't be able to marry a wife, and the more you talk about it, the more angry you become. ”
"Poof———" Pei Shuyi laughed out of place, eating in her mouth, and quickly took a napkin to wipe her mouth, looking at Huo Huiyuan's appearance, Pei Shuyi couldn't help but smile: "Auntie, eldest brother is only 19 years old, are you worried about his life's events?" ”
"I think the eldest brother himself is very good, and he has to find a girl who is enough to match him, and he broke up with the girl, which can only mean that he hasn't met someone he really likes, doesn't this reflect that the eldest brother is a person who takes feelings very seriously?"
Huo Huiyuan wasn't really angry, and glanced at Pei Shuyi, "You have been learning from Ting Qing more and more in the past two years, and you can reason with your aunt?" ”
Pei Shuyi: ".........."
So Pei Shuyi buried her head silently, ate silently, and listened to Huo Huiyuan continue to say to Pei Tingqing, "If not, how many good ones will my mother introduce to you?" There are still limitations in and around you. Both the Jiang family and the Duan family chaebol have girls of the same age as you, and you will not be wrong if you believe in your mother's vision. ”
"When you choose things, you rely on my vision, Mom, what do you think you have?" Pei Tingqing didn't want to discuss it anymore, so he held the dish with chopsticks and said lightly: "I'm measured, Mom, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Huo Huiyuan had no choice but to take this son, so she had to say: "Okay, I don't care, my mother believes that you can choose the best, if there is a suitable one, you can show it to your mother." But in the front, don't make other girls' bellies bigger until you are sure. Mom knows that you are the most impulsive at your age, but even if you can't control it, you can do something about it. ”
"Hmm."
Pei Shuyi is in her second year of high school, she should know everything, and when Huo Huiyuan taught Pei Tingqing in the past year, she did not avoid her, every time she could sit there obediently and listen, but she would inevitably blush.
In the relationship between men and women, Huo Huiyuan does not object to Pei Tingqing's early love, after all, Pei Tingqing is more mature than ordinary boys.
But for Pei Shuyi, every time Huo Huiyuan taught Pei Tingqing, she told her not to fall in love early, but to focus on her studies.
Of course, she did not disappoint Huo Huiyuan, she was also a top student in school, and many people knew that Pei Tingqing was her cousin, and her reputation also grew.
Next, Huo Huiyuan asked Pei Shuyi about her situation at school, although Huo Huiyuan taught her husband and children at home, Huo Huiyuan also knew something about everything, at least her high school courses, Huo Huiyuan understood.
After finishing teaching, Huo Huiyuan added the last sentence, "Shuyi, where are you struggling to learn, just ask Tingqing." Then he pretended to be stern and said to Pei Tingqing: "You can do other important things, but the premise of dating your girlfriend is that you must put Shuyi first." ”
Pei Shuyi felt that Huo Huiyuan was also very hard, and she and Pei Tingqing had to be educated for several hours every week, Huo Huiyuan treated Pei Tingqing strictly, but she was not very required of her in other aspects except that she could not fall in love.
And Pei Tingqing's excellence, the biggest credit lies in Huo Huiyuan, which son teaches like Huo Huiyuan, it is difficult to become a talent.
After dinner, Pei Shuyi went back to her room, ready to take a nap, and then get up to do her homework, but Pei Tingqing followed up, sat at the head of her bed and asked, "If you don't have any arrangements in the afternoon, I'll take you to a place." ”
It was February, the sun was shining through the glass window, Pei Shuyi was lying on the bed in her clothes, the whole person was bathed in warm sunlight, she closed her eyes comfortably, "Big brother doesn't accompany his girlfriend anymore?" ”
Pei Tingqing lowered her head and stared at Pei Shuyi's white little face, her eyelashes were plated with a layer of golden light, and she looked very fluffy and obedient.
Pei Tingqing's dark eyes were a little deeper, "You also heard my mother say just now, I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday, even if I want to find it, it will be a matter of the future, and no matter what I say, I will put you first." ”
"Big brother." Pei Shuyi didn't answer, but suddenly turned over and lay there, facing Pei Tingqing's direction, and whispered to Pei Tingqing.
Pei Tingqing's slender eyes stared at Pei Shuyi, where the sun shone brightly, "Huh? ”
Pei Shuyi leaned over and naturally pillowed her head on Pei Tingqing's lower abdomen, she still closed her eyes, inhaled deeply and smelled the smell of Pei Tingqing's body, "What kind of girl do you like?" ”
