Pei Shuyi and Xiang Yuyao returned to the apartment together, and after getting out of the elevator, Xiang Yuyao said to Pei Shuyi in an unquestionable tone: "You go to me and help me deal with the injuries on my face, it's inconvenient for me to be alone." ”

Pei Shuyi frowned when she heard this, she didn't have the habit of going to a single man's house casually, and suggested to Xiang Yuyao: "You can find a private doctor, or a woman who often accompanies you." ”

"You say this as if my injury has nothing to do with you." Xiang Yuyao stopped and stood in front of Pei Shuyi, his tall figure gave people a great sense of oppression, "You almost kicked me into a concussion, I didn't sue you, just let you compensate for the medical expenses, and my first kiss was taken away by you, I didn't let you be responsible, right?" Just ask you to help me now, why are you so ruthless? ”

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

She looked up at Xiang Yuyao, his swollen face made him look like he didn't have the gloomy and self-respecting aura he usually had, coupled with these words, Pei Shuyi felt that he seemed to be an angry little daughter-in-law.

Pei Shuyi didn't speak, Xiang Yuyao pursed her thin lips, "I have only physical relationships with those women, and I have no other emotional exchanges, so if I put you and them into the same category, I won't spend so much thought and energy." To be honest, Pei Shuyi, I really regard you as a neighbor or even a friend. He stared at Pei Shuyi with his amber eyes, where there was a soft light, and said in a low tone: "The only friend of the opposite sex." ”

It was the first time Xiang Yuyao said so many words to Pei Shuyi, she was not hard-hearted, and she was very moved to listen, "My honor." ”

Later, I followed into Xiang Yuyao's house, which was different from what she expected, Xiang Yuyao's home was very neat and clean, and the style was simple and atmospheric, showing Xiang Yuyao's high-end taste, and it was not like in the editorial department, there were so many pink plush toys on the table, she once thought that Xiang Yuyao loved this kind of girly thing.

"You just sit down." After Xiang Yuyao put his coat on the back of the sofa, he went to the room to find the medicine box.

Pei Shuyi saw that there were many letters on the coffee table in the living room, the letterheads were colorful and varied, which was particularly delicate and beautiful, and on one of the light blue letterheads, there was a red maple leaf, lined with teak-colored wooden coffee tables, which had a mood.

Pei Shuyi picked up the red maple leaf with interest, and inadvertently saw the beginning of the letter, "Ah Yao, I don't know if my letter will reach you in these hundreds of millions of readers' letters, and whether you will see ............"

After all, it was someone else's privacy, Pei Shuyi didn't look down anymore, put the maple leaf back again, and when Xiang Yuyao came out, she pointed to the letters and asked, "What are these?" Letters from readers to cartoonists have to go through you, the editor-in-chief, and you read them all before giving them to the cartoonists? ”

Xiang Yuyao glanced at Pei Shuyi gloomily when he heard this, and said in a very contemptuous tone, "Do you think I'm so boring?" This is a letter from a reader. ”

As he spoke, he walked over, squatted there and put away the letters one by one, and when he touched the letter and the red maple leaf, his movements stopped, and after a while, he naturally threw the letter and the maple leaf into the paper basket before placing the medicine box on the coffee table.

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, sat there and looked at Xiang Yuyao's broad back, and asked in disbelief: "Is it the reader's request for the magazine, or do you also draw comics yourself?" ”

"The latter."

Xiang Yuyao's two words were light-hearted, but Pei Shuyi showed a surprised expression, how could she not have thought that a character like Xiang Yuyao also drew comics, and there were so many fan letters, it can be seen that he should also be on the best-selling comic list, "What did you draw?" ”

After Xiang Yuyao opened the medicine box, he sat beside Pei Shuyi, and when he heard this, he turned his head and asked Pei Shuyi with a smile, "If I say that I am the original author of Conan, do you believe it?" ”

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

When there was Conan, Xiang Yuyao was still in his mother's womb, right?

Pei Shuyi didn't have the heart to argue with Xiang Yuyao, she looked at Xiang Yuyao's face, it wasn't serious, she took out a towel from the medicine box, dipped it in medicinal wine and put it on Xiang Yuyao.

"In the early years, I worked as an assistant to Conan's original author, and now I can be considered friends for many years." Xiang Yuyao's face faced Pei Shuyi, and the eyelashes on her eyelids could be seen up close, casting a narrow shadow, still unfazed, if it was another girl, I don't know what the blush would look like, "Your resume has written that your favorite anime is Conan, if you are interested, I will take you to contact the production team in the future." ”

Of course Pei Shuyi is interested, like chasing stars, she chose to come to Japan just to see those amazing characters with her own eyes one day, but she didn't expect her neighbors to help her achieve her wish.

"The original author of Conan is under the Qingzhu Society?" Pei Shuyi's hand pressed on Xiang Yuyao's face through the towel, she felt very relaxed when facing Xiang Yuyao, not like in front of Pei Tingqing, always nervous and unable to control her heartbeat, this is probably the biggest difference between friends and lovers.

"No, but a few other best-selling comics that are known to most people in China are the responsibility of Qingzhu Society." Then Xiang Yuyao told Pei Shuyi what they were.

This made Pei Shuyi feel that those characters who were out of reach and unreachable for her in the past were now in a club with her, and her mood suddenly became very good, so her relationship with Xiang Yuyao became closer.

Xiang Yuyao saw that Pei Shuyi was no longer cold, he felt that Pei Shuyi was a difficult girl to coax, and in addition to that woman, it was the first time he had said so many words to other members of the opposite sex, probably because he had been lonely for too long, and finally met Pei Shuyi, a person who was very close to him, it was undeniable that he wanted to go on with Pei Shuyi, at least to become friends.

He likes Pei Shuyi's pampered and unfazed temperament, nothing seems to stir up the waves in her heart, and after just a few days of contact, he feels that Pei Shuyi is tenacious and independent, without the delicate pretentiousness of ordinary girls.

For Xiang Yuyao, what he needs is a friend who can communicate feelings, Pei Shuyi is not his type in some way, but he also does not lack a bed partner, Pei Shuyi can be his unique friend of the opposite sex.

Pei Shuyi took back the towel at this time, stood up and said to Xiang Yuyao: "It's okay, if you still want to see someone tomorrow, apply it every four hours, for fifteen minutes at a time, until the swelling is completely reduced." ”

Xiang Yuyao saw Pei Shuyi's serious look, he twisted his eyebrows, "Once every four hours?" You're kidding me, I don't have to sleep tonight, do you? ”

Pei Shuyi jokingly replied to Xiang Yuyao, "Have you slept well that night?" Since you're hurt, you should thank me for allowing you to take a break. ”

Xiang Yuyao: "............"

Thinking about it, he often brings women back for the night, and he does not rest in the early morning, and every time he is hearty, the pressure is not relieved in the slightest, but what is greeted is the extreme emptiness in his heart.

"Okay, you go back to sleep, I'll wait for you at your door tomorrow morning."

Pei Shuyi nodded when she heard this, picked up her bag, and after saying hello to Xiang Yuyao, she went back to her room.

She didn't allow herself to think so much anymore, for a promise that might never be fulfilled and a man who couldn't wait, from this moment on, she had to try to let go.

Just like the year Pei Tingqing left before, if Pei Tingqing didn't come back, she should be able to slowly forget about him.

Anyway, she will not go back to accompany the Pei family, and there will be no entanglement between them from now on, maybe when she meets Pei Tingqing in the near future, he should marry a wife and have children, and she will also have a lover by her side.

That's it, if you don't try, how do you know you can't quit?

This night was the most relaxing in two years, Pei Shuyi did not have any more dreams about the past in a row, and woke up on time the next morning.

She washed up and made breakfast, and then went out after eating, sure enough, Xiang Yuyao leaned leisurely against the wall next to her door with her arms crossed, and Pei Shuyi greeted coldly, "Good morning." ”

Xiang Yuyao's face was already swollen, he lifted his closed eyelids, and saw that the time was seven o'clock, he nodded and said to Pei Shuyi: "Yesterday was also this time, and your work and rest are very regular, so I am just waiting for you here five minutes in advance." ”

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

Thoughtful men are generally not easy to deal with, and they feel that if they have weaknesses and handles, they will be caught by the other party.

"Let's go, neighbor." Xiang Yuyao carried his briefcase and walked in front first as usual, and on the way, he asked again if Pei Shuyi had breakfast.

After getting a positive answer, Xiang Yuyao gloomily told Pei Shuyi to either let him eat at her tomorrow morning, or accompany him to eat in the restaurant outside.

Pei Shuyi did not object, and after eating with Xiang Yuyao in the tea restaurant the next morning, Xiang Yuyao took the initiative to settle the bill.

So in the next few days, Pei Shuyi took it for granted to hitchhike and rub the breakfast of her good neighbors, and gradually found that Xiang Yuyao was a gentleman, except for too many bed companions, he was indeed a man with infinite charm.

And in the past few days, Pei Shuyi has not seen him call a woman anymore, of course, this is not what Pei Shuyi has to care about.

Seeing that Christmas is approaching, comic magazines will always spend a lot of thought for the holiday, so Xiang Yuyao became busy, and the time to get off work was pushed from seven o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock, and Pei Shuyi still waited for him.

And Pei Shuyi did not intend to accommodate Xiang Yuyao, she habitually stayed in the library after finishing the class, either reading books or drawing comics.

On Christmas Eve, it snowed for the second time since the beginning of winter, and the students in the library gradually went back, and Pei Shuyi occupied a few desks by herself, with laptops and some books scattered on them.

The entire huge library exudes a thick and ancient atmosphere, and it becomes more and more silent at night, Pei Shuyi sits under the soft light, and when she bows her head, her curly hair covers half of her face, and her posture is quiet and soft.

Occasionally, she could be heard flipping through the papers, while behind her was a transparent glass window, and the cold wind howled outside, and the snow was flying like goose feathers.

The girl flipping through the book and the flying snow, such a scene is beautiful and peaceful.
