Pei Shuyi answered the phone and called out as if nothing happened, "Big brother." ”

"I'm here." Pei Tingqing responded in a low and gentle manner, which immediately reassured Pei Shuyi, "I'm still at the banquet, Steward Fang told me on the phone, I'll come out and call you back." ”

"Hmm."

"Crying?" Pei Tingqing thought that Pei Shuyi was only 17 years old, and in the eyes of a mature person like him, Pei Shuyi was actually still a little girl, just like at the beginning, which made him involuntarily want to care for and pity.

"Nope."

"Don't cry Shuyi." On the phone side, Pei Tingqing stood in the corridor, the light spilled, and the contours of his face were illuminated, "Regardless of whether what Pei Zongyou said is true or not, do you think I will allow you to marry another man?" So there's no need to be afraid, I said I'd stop it all for you, even if it's .........."

He paused, his heart was like a knife, a touch of blood appeared in his eyes, and he said with great difficulty: "Even if we can't be together in the end, I won't let your marriage become a victim, and I won't let you marry a man you don't want to marry." In short, you just have to remember that no one can control your marriage and life, not even Pei Zongyou. ”

Pei Shuyi's tears rolled down when she heard this, she covered her mouth tightly, desperately trying not to let herself cry.

But how well Pei Tingqing knew Pei Shuyi, and guessed that she must be crying so much, he couldn't wait to go to her side immediately, hug her in his arms, and help her stop her tears with kisses.

She cried, and the one who was even more uncomfortable was him.

Pei Tingqing's hand was clenched into a fist, and his knuckles made a "creaking" sound, and at that time, the 20-year-old Pei Tingqing swore in his heart that anyone who hurt Pei Shuyi and made Pei Shuyi feel wronged, one day he would make them repay it a hundred times, including Pei Zongyou, his biological father.

Pei Tingqing's thin lips were white, and he was pursed into a line, and he wanted to say something, when he heard Huo Huiyuan knocking on the door from Pei Shuyi's side.

Pei Tingqing had no choice but to stabilize his emotions and said to Pei Shuyi in a low voice: "I'll hang up first, and I'll send you a message later." ”

Pei Shuyi also heard Huo Huiyuan calling her outside the door, she quickly wiped away her tears, did not respond to Pei Tingqing again, and immediately hung up the phone, she took a deep breath and opened the door, "Auntie." ”

"It's been hot recently, and my aunt made mung bean soup and brought it to you." Huo Huiyuan held a tray in her hand, and when she came in, she put a small bowl of mung bean soup that had just been boiled for a long time on the coffee table.

Pei Shuyi walked over and sat opposite Huo Huiyuan, picked up the mung bean soup and ate it, "Thank you, auntie." ”

"Silly boy." Huo Huiyuan looked at Pei Shuyi with pity in her eyes, and after being silent for half a minute, she still opened her mouth to soothe and said, "Shuyi, don't take what your eldest uncle said at the dinner table tonight, don't take it to heart." My aunt said early on that she would not interfere in your marriage. ”

Sure enough, this matter is true, otherwise Huo Huiyuan would not have come over to appease her emotions, Pei Shuyi only felt sad and bitter in her heart, nodded quietly on her face, and gave Huo Huiyuan the feeling that she was very simple and ignorant of the world, "Well, I know that my uncle is teasing me." ”

Huo Huiyuan's expression relaxed, she got up and walked over to sit beside Pei Shuyi, she looked at Pei Shuyi gently, and noticed that Pei Shuyi had cried, Huo Huiyuan said distressedly: "Since you like Chengshu, the eldest aunt will let you marry Chengshu, no matter what Chengshu's background is." It's just that since your eldest uncle said that, then when you are a year older, your aunt will arrange for you to be engaged. ”

"Well, thank you, auntie." In fact, in two months, Pei Shuyi will be 18 years old.

Huo Huiyuan shook her head, raised her hand and stroked Pei Shuyi's face, her eyes were complicated, with a look that Pei Shuyi couldn't understand, as if she was guilty, "Really speaking, it's our family that owes you, and the eldest aunt has always wanted to make up for the mistakes she made back then." ”

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, her dark and translucent eyes stared at Huo Huiyuan, and she asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, auntie?" You don't owe me anything, you have treated me like your own daughter in the past few years. She stretched out her hand to hug Huo Huiyuan's neck, rubbed her head on Huo Huiyuan's chest, and said coquettishly: "I will definitely honor my aunt, especially when my aunt is old." Auntie, although your uncle treats you badly, there is me and my eldest brother, we love you very much. ”

Tears suddenly welled up in Huo Huiyuan's eyes, she hugged Pei Shuyi hard, and said with a little choked, "Shuyi, I'm sorry.........."

Pei Shuyi thought that it was probably because Huo Huiyuan couldn't speak for her in front of Pei Zongyou, so that the eldest aunt would feel guilty, and she hurriedly said, "It's okay, I know." ”

Huo Huiyuan, as the eldest wife of the Pei family's chaebol, has a lot of scenery outside, which makes people respect and envy, but in fact, only a few people know the sadness behind it.

Pei Shuyi remembered that Pei Tingqing said that Pei Zongyou and Huo Huiyuan were also married in business, and they had no emotional foundation for each other, and Pei Zongyou had many women outside over the years, and Huo Huiyuan's life was spent on Pei Zongyou, so if she was also married out by Pei Zongyou in a commercial marriage, then she would be as sad and desolate as Huo Huiyuan, right?

After more than ten minutes, Huo Huiyuan left Pei Shuyi's room, Pei Shuyi took out her mobile phone and didn't see the message from Pei Tingqing, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower first, wiped her hair and came back to sit on the bed.

While waiting for Pei Tingqing, Pei Shuyi habitually took out a notebook and pencil and sketched lines on the white paper.

It's just that this time there is a heroine in the comics, and Pei Tingqing's heroine is undoubtedly her, the scene she first drew was Pei Tingqing holding her hand for the first time, and holding an umbrella in the other hand to cover the dripping rain, the two walked together, Pei Tingqing was much taller than her at that time, but the picture did not have a sense of disobedience, but was beautiful and dreamy.

Pei Shuyi held the notebook to her chest, she gently closed her eyes under the light, and when she didn't even notice it, her soft face was filled with a sweet smile, as delicate and moving as a girl who had just fallen in love.

It was more than 11 o'clock, Pei Tingqing still didn't send a message, Pei Shuyi couldn't sleep, she sat on the bed, her soft curls fell down to cover her face, the curves of her shoulders and back were perfect, Pei Shuyi put the notebook on her knees and continued to sketch with a pencil.

In addition to her eldest brother, she can also find comfort in the world of comics, just like when her parents were still alive, with a simple and carefree heart.

The mobile phone screen placed on the quilt lit up at this time, and Pei Shuyi took it and saw the message sent by Pei Tingqing, "Shuyi, have you slept?" ”

Pei Shuyi replied without hesitation, "I'm reading." ”

After a while, Pei Tingqing called the phone, "At 1 o'clock in the morning, send you a message, if you don't reply, I won't look for you." Why are you still reading a book so late, and you haven't taken medicine? ”

"Hmm."

On the phone, Pei Tingqing walked back to the room and untied his suit and tie with one hand, "Still worried that my dad will marry you as a commodity?" With me here, don't think about it so much. ”

"Hmm."

"I just came back, drank some wine, and now I miss you so much, I guess I'm going to lose sleep again tonight." Pei Tingqing said hoarsely, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, he sat on the sofa and smoked, his posture was elegant and casual under the dim light, "You are on vacation, and there are no special arrangements, come to me tomorrow, I won't be able to go back for a few days." ”

Pei Shuyi bit her lip and didn't speak.

Pei Tingqing understood, and the tobacco he swallowed in his lungs became more and more bitter, "Don't force you, you rest early, I'll take a bath." ”

Pei Shuyi's heart seemed to be pricked, "Big brother, I'm ........... Are you angry? ”

Pei Tingqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and said helplessly and dotingly: "When did I really get angry with you?" You didn't want to see me in the first place, if I was as ignorant as you, then when will the two of us be together? Sleep, I'll go to the bathroom to solve my physiological needs. ”

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

He's starting to use his hands?

Pei Shuyi's face was so red that it was dripping blood, she said something to Pei Tingqing, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Here Pei Tingqing stared at the dimmed mobile phone screen, and his lips outlined a curvature.

I don't know if he was stimulated by his so-called girlfriend, or by Pei Zongyou saying that he would arrange a marriage for her, or both, he obviously felt that Pei Shuyi's attitude towards him was not as cold and resistant as before.

He is not in a hurry, anyway, no matter what he says, she must only be his Pei Tingqing's woman, and he doesn't want to force her too much, what he has is patience and tenderness, and slowly make her fall in love with him wholeheartedly.

Pei Tingqing put down his phone, looked down at the tent propped up between his legs, and sighed slightly.

He is only 20 years old, his desire is so strong, and if he often uses his hands, it hurts too much.

And he is a person who pays attention to health preservation, the reason why Huo Huiyuan looks like he is only about 30 years old is because he has formulated a series of health plans for Huo Huiyuan over the years.

Pei Tingqing restrained himself and closed his eyes in pain.

In the future, if Pei Shuyi is not around, he can no longer indulge himself like this.

***

After breakfast the next day, Pei Shuyi went to Pei Tingqing's residence again, and at noon, Butler Fang brought her Chinese herbal soup and meals as usual.

When it was almost dinner time in the afternoon, Pei Shuyi was about to go back to Pei's house, and Du Shixian called her to ask her, saying that they would have dinner together and then go to see the fireworks.

Pei Shuyi had nothing to do, and she hadn't gone out for a long time, after she promised Du Shixian, she reported to Huo Huiyuan on the phone and asked Butler Fang to send her to a restaurant where she was with Du Shixian.

When she got out of the car, Pei Shuyi noticed a car in front of her, felt familiar, and looked at it a few more times, only to find that it was Pei Zongyou's, and the driver was opening the door on the side, and a woman bent over and sat in.

Pei Shuyi was shocked, she didn't expect that she would bump into Pei Zongyou and the woman outside to come out to eat, she hurriedly turned her back, and when she turned back after a while, Pei Zongyou's car had already driven away, and Pei Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Before entering, she looked up at the signboard, it was a private restaurant, and she thought that the places where Pei Zongyou and her lover often went were the high-end clubs of big hotels, but she didn't expect them to have such a small place as Yaxing.

Du Shixian sent a message at this time to ask if Pei Shuyi was here, and Pei Shuyi retracted her thoughts and walked in.

Not surprisingly, Wei Chengshu is also there.
