Pei Tingqing stood there with a long body, one hand in the pocket of his pants, "You are very well-behaved in front of my mother, and you are completely exposed in front of me?" ”

He raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and that look had a kind of playfulness of teasing the little girl, which made Pei Shuyi feel that their sense of distance was close all of a sudden, at least he was no longer so difficult to approach, Pei Shuyi was less vigilant in her heart, but her dark pupils were still staring at Pei Tingqing, "It's cousin, you are not polite first, my aunt is very good to me, and I should respect her." ”

Pei Tingqing's eyebrows furrowed again when she heard this, and she suddenly walked over and sat at the head of the bed in a few steps, so frightened that Pei Shuyi couldn't help but shrink a little, I don't know why Pei Tingqing looked light, but it made her feel unreasonably scared.

"Don't call me cousin in the future." The sky outside the window was already dark, the room was very quiet, in the light, Pei Tingqing raised his palm and touched Pei Shuyi's head, his eyes were quiet and shining, "Call me eldest brother, it sounds more pleasing to the ear, your name is Pei Shuyi?" ”

His hands looked white and clean, but when he touched his head, it made people feel warm and thick, Pei Shuyi bit her lip and responded, "Hmm." ”

Pei Tingqing nodded, and after withdrawing his hand, he didn't say anything else, just let Pei Shuyi go downstairs to eat, and he closed the door and went out.

Pei Shuyi stared at Pei Tingqing's crisp back, then put down the quilt in her hand, and after getting out of bed and changing her clothes, she went downstairs and walked to the restaurant under the leadership of the maid.

The man in his forties has a resolute and handsome face, and the beautiful and virtuous Huo Huiyuan is a good match, Pei Zongyou was talking to Huo Huiyuan in a low voice, and when he saw Pei Shuyi coming over, his expression became a little gentle, the controller of the Pei family's chaebol, who is dominating the business world and killing decisively, is a gentle husband and elder when he returns to the family, "Did Shuyi sleep well?" Come and eat. ”

"Hmm." Pei Shuyi greeted this uncle, who was also unfamiliar, and the housekeeper helped her pull open the dining chair on Pei Tingqing's side.

The dining table is not very big, and there are exquisite foods, many of which Pei Shuyi likes to eat, which shows that Huo Huiyuan has understood it in advance, and she is very moved by her intentions.

The lights above his head sprinkled down, and it was very warm for the four of them to eat at the same table, Pei Zongyou reached over from the opposite side and gave the dish clip to Pei Shuyi, only to find that Pei Shuyi was holding chopsticks with his left hand, and he asked with a smile: "Are you left-handed?" ”

Pei Shuyi's little face turned red when she heard this, and she shrank her hand a little embarrassedly, but Huo Huiyuan answered softly: "I asked Shuyi's original maid in the house, and they said that it has always been like this. ”

Pei Zongyou hadn't said anything yet, Pei Tingqing beside Pei Shuyi asked with a smile: "It is said that left-handed people are smarter, why do you look stupid?" ”

Pei Shuyi: "..........."

Huo Huiyuan laughed out loud, stretched out her chopsticks and knocked on her son's bowl, "You think everyone is like your mind?" And Shuyi is not stupid, I think she is very smart. She took back her chopsticks and told Pei Tingqing seriously, "As a brother, don't bully Shuyi." I told you yesterday that in the future, when your father and I are not at home, you have to take good care of Shuyi. ”

Pei Shuyi saw Pei Tingqing being reprimanded, and she hurriedly said, "I don't need to be taken care of by my eldest brother, I've grown up." ”

In any case, in front of unfamiliar environments and strange people, she should try her best to be well-behaved and not cause trouble to the other party.

"Shuyi, you don't have to speak for Tingqing, anyway, he has always taken my words as a deaf ear, and I have become more and more unable to control him in the past few years." Huo Huiyuan saw Pei Shuyi's restraint and caution, and she joked that she wanted Pei Shuyi to integrate into the family as soon as possible.

Pei Shuyi was a little surprised, and at this time, the young man next to her put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl, and said to Huo Huiyuan, "I'm also joking." ”

Huo Huiyuan glanced at Pei Tingqing, and saw that his attitude towards Pei Shuyi was quite gentle, so she didn't say anything more, turned her head and served Pei Zongyou vegetables, and although Pei Zongyou didn't interact with them much, he was also very pleased to listen to their conversation and laughter.

Pei Tingqing probably also felt that Pei Shuyi had lost some weight, and kept serving Pei Shuyi vegetables during the banquet, but then she couldn't eat anymore, and she was embarrassed to leave it in other people's homes, so she could only continue to eat.

It was too supportive, but Pei Tingqing seemed to be deliberately manipulating her, she couldn't help but whisper: "Big brother, I really can't eat it." ”

Pei Tingqing glanced at the remaining half of the food in her bowl, and also whispered: "It's okay, eat slowly, no one is urging you." ”

Pei Shuyi: "............"

Pei Zongyou and Huo Huiyuan, who were opposite, saw that the two children were getting along very well, and they looked at each other and smiled.

In the end, Pei Shuyi still barely ate it, and after the meal, Pei Zongyou went to the study, Pei Shuyi accompanied Huo Huiyuan to watch TV in the living room, Pei Tingqing curled up with a laptop on his knees, staring at the display screen and not knowing what he was doing.

Pei Shuyi's mind was not on TV, sitting there, all she could think of was the tragic situation of her parents dying in a car accident, burying her head uncomfortably, and clenching her fingers together.

It's just that Huo Huiyuan hopes that she can come out of her sadness, even if she knows that she is absent-minded, Huo Huiyuan still tries to make her happy in other ways, and after a while, she turned around and took Pei Shuyi's hand, "Shuyi, I'll take you to buy some clothes tomorrow." ”

"When this semester starts, I will send you to the middle school not far from Tingqing's university, and he will take care of you on weekdays, you should be in the third year of junior high school, right?"

Pei Shuyi nodded, "Thank you, auntie." ”

Huo Huiyuan stroked Pei Shuyi's hand, took the remote control and turned off the TV, "Okay, let's rest early tonight." After speaking, she and Pei Shuyi walked up the stairs together, and turned around halfway and told Pei Tingqing, who was still sitting there and didn't know what to do, "You also go to bed early and accompany us tomorrow morning." ”

Pei Tingqing did not object to shopping with the two women, his eyes never withdrew from the screen, and he responded lightly, "Hmm." ”

***

That night, Pei Shuyi slept on an unfamiliar bed, unaccustomed and uncomfortable, tossing and turning until the middle of the night before falling asleep, and later had nightmares.

As soon as the sky outside the window brightened, she woke up in a cold sweat, and lay there motionless staring at the ceiling, when she faintly heard the piano sound coming from downstairs, and she was stunned for a moment.

Pei Tingqing got up so early to play the piano? Let's not talk about whether it is hard or not, but she thinks that Pei Tingqing disturbs people's dreams.

But I don't know if Pei Tingqing's piano sound has a hypnotic effect, in such a soft piano sound, Pei Shuyi fell asleep quickly, and even miraculously, she didn't have nightmares anymore.

I don't know how long I slept, Pei Shuyi woke up again, took a look at the alarm clock with cartoon patterns printed on the bedside table, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and no one called her so late.

Pei Shuyi held her forehead with some annoyance, hurriedly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash, and when she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Huo Huiyuan and Pei Tingqing were really sitting on the sofa waiting for her, especially when Pei Tingqing casually raised the watch on her wrist, it was obvious that Pei Shuyi got up too late.

Pei Shuyi walked over and buried her head and apologized, "I'm sorry aunt, I got up late and made you wait for a long time." ”

Huo Huiyuan was flipping through the fashion magazine in her hand, and when she heard this, she hurriedly put it on the coffee table, got up and walked to Pei Shuyi's side, she sighed, "Shuyi, my aunt said that you will treat this as your home in the future, and it doesn't matter if you get up late." ”

"Hmm." Pei Shuyi responded like this, but it was impossible for her to treat this place as her home in a short period of time.

Huo Huiyuan took Pei Shuyi to the restaurant, "Your eldest uncle went to the company early in the morning, and Tingqing and I also ate, so I'm not in a hurry, you eat slowly." ”

Pei Shuyi was still very restrained, nodded and sat on the dining chair, and after a while, the maid brought the breakfast to her hand, and Pei Shuyi ate very quietly.

Huo Huiyuan stood aside and watched for a while, then she went to sit down on the sofa in the living room again, and whispered to Pei Tingqing: "Tingqing, Shuyi's parents just passed away, and she is so young, I am worried that her character will always be so withdrawn in the future." You must be kind to her on weekdays and take her out of the shadow of losing her parents. ”

Pei Tingqing flipped through the financial magazines in his hand, he had already learned some things in the business field with his father at his age, and when he heard this, he only responded to Huo Huiyuan lightly, "Hmm." ”

In his opinion, Huo Huiyuan is the best mother in the world and his father's best wife, she is very gentle and easy-going to everyone, but she just treats Pei Shuyi, a niece, but it is a bit exaggerated, but it is just one day, and he feels that his mother really raised Pei Shuyi as a daughter.

Pei Tingqing pursed his lips, was silent for a few seconds, raised his eyes and looked at Huo Huiyuan, "Mom, are you so good to your second uncle's daughter, is there no other reason?" ”

There was a hint of sharpness in the young man's eyes, Huo Huiyuan's heart tightened, and she took the magazine on the coffee table and looked at it in disguise, "What other reason can there be?" It's just that this kid is so pitiful. ”

Pei Tingqing's slender jade-like fingers flipped through the page, hooking his lips very disapprovingly, "There are too many poor people in this world, you can pick up a child casually on the street, why is it that Mom is so interested in this daughter of the second uncle?" ”

Huo Huiyuan's eyes flashed with panic, and she wanted to say something, Pei Shuyi had already walked out of the restaurant, "Auntie, I'm done." ”

"Really full?" Huo Huiyuan asked casually, and seeing Pei Shuyi nodded, she took her bag and got up and walked over, "Okay, let's go." ”

This time, without waiting for her to stretch out her hand, Pei Shuyi took the initiative to hold Huo Huiyuan, Huo Huiyuan was stunned, looked down at the little girl, and her eyes were suddenly a little sour.

Huo Huiyuan held Pei Shuyi's hand instead, and the two walked out together, while Pei Tingqing took his coat and followed behind.

It was still drizzling outside, Huo Huiyuan held the umbrella on top of Pei Shuyi's head, the umbrella was not big, Pei Tingqing saw her mother from behind and tilted the umbrella towards Pei Shuyi as much as possible.

The small details show that Huo Huiyuan loves Pei Shuyi excessively, which makes the thoughtful Pei Tingqing frown.

Along the way, Huo Huiyuan and Pei Shuyi sat in the back, Pei Tingqing sat in the passenger seat, and when she passed by the birch forest, Pei Shuyi took a few more looks.

More than 20 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a store, and immediately after the three of them entered, someone stepped forward and saw that Huo Huiyuan and Pei Tingqing looked alike, and the shopping guide asked with a smile: "You are sisters and brothers, right?" ”

Huo Huiyuan is almost forty years old, tall and slender, with a fair and delicate face, and she looks only about 30 years old.

At this moment, she grabbed Pei Tingqing's arm and asked the female shopping guide quite prettyly, "We are actually mother and son, do you think I am young, or does my son look too mature?" ”

The female shopping guide was just about to speak, Pei Shuyi, who was standing beside Huo Huiyuan, looked at Pei Tingqing, he was tall and thin, and his bearing was extraordinary, thinking that he was going to kill himself last night, Pei Shuyi suddenly had a sense of revenge, and said to Huo Huiyuan with a smile: "I think the eldest brother is too old." ”

When the words fell, Huo Huiyuan and the female shopping guide laughed "poof", Pei Shuyi was a little embarrassed, but Pei Tingqing's face did not change, but the eyes covered by the ink-colored hairline were deeper.

Before she came, Pei Shuyi was still wondering why Huo Huiyuan took her to buy clothes, why she called Pei Tingqing, and when Pei Tingqing reached out and picked out a piece of women's clothes, and asked the other party to pack them without listening to the advice of the shopping guide, Pei Shuyi finally understood.

Pei Tingqing was helping her choose clothes, and he didn't let her try them on, no matter whether she liked it or not, he bought it directly without permission?

A row of clothes walked over, Pei Tingqing chose two skirts for Pei Shuyi, Huo Huiyuan turned her head and asked Pei Shuyi, "How is it, do you like everything Tingqing chose for you just now?" ”

Pei Shuyi lowered her eyebrows, "Well, I like it very much." ”

"That's good." Huo Huiyuan was very satisfied, and said to Pei Shuyi like a common word, "Every time I buy clothes, I also ask Tingqing to help me choose, you don't look at his youth, but his vision is very accurate, he has a high attainment in dressing up." ”

Huo Huiyuan looked at her son, who was taller than her, her eyes were full of gentleness and relief, "Some time ago, at the fashion exhibition in the company, there were a few clothes designed by Tingqing, this store is not owned by the Pei family chaebol, otherwise you can see Tingqing's works." ”

Pei Shuyi: "..........."

Today, she can be regarded as seeing the "high IQ" that Huo Huiyuan said at the dinner table last night, her cousin is really .......... It's not ordinary.

After coming out of this store, the three of them went to another one, during which Pei Tingqing chose a long dress with a bare back for Pei Shuyi, Pei Shuyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother, I may not be suitable for wearing this." ”

"How is it not appropriate?" Pei Tingqing asked with a frown.

Huo Huiyuan was also a little puzzled, "I think it's very good, if you have any activities in school in the future, you can wear this." ”

Pei Shuyi hadn't worn such an exposed one, and it was Pei Tingqing, a boy, who chose it for her, her face suddenly turned a little red, "Maybe......... I looked at the dress was a little big, I was too thin to hold such a dress. She said as she picked up another skirt and gestured at herself, "This one is actually good, it should be the right size." ”

Hearing this, Pei Tingqing glanced up and down at Pei Shuyi, his eyes were naked with scrutiny, and then Pei Tingqing came to a conclusion lightly, "It's too small, you can't wear it." ”

Pei Shuyi: "............"

So she gave up resisting and bought it, and she didn't have to wear it.
