After Pei Shuyi got out of the car, she walked a little longer and arrived at the residence of Wei Chengshu and Du Shixian.

They prefer quiet, not in a busy area, but in a Japanese wooden house, with windows and sliding doors made of paper, which is not afraid of earthquakes and looks particularly beautiful.

Pei Shuyi pushed open the door outside, and when she walked into the courtyard, Du Shixian was standing under the eaves and watching the snow.

There are three wind chimes made of glass hanging from the top of Du Shixian's head, three colorful slips of paper are pasted below, writing Japanese classical songs, and the bells make a beautiful sound under the impact, white snowflakes are fluttering, and the slender Du Shixian under the eaves is like a painting, quiet and vivid.

In the past two years, Du Shixian has a little more indifference and calmness under the baptism of the years, and her face has become more and more delicate and beautiful, even in Japan's famous schools, there are many beauties from all over the world, and Du Shixian is also among the top five.

Pei Shuyi likes Du Shixian very much.

Du Shixian stared at the white snowflakes in the sky, and she didn't even notice Pei Shuyi when she walked up, until Pei Shuyi called her with a light smile, "Shixian." ”

"Huh?" Du Shixian was startled for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, and saw that Pei Shuyi's hair was covered with snowflakes, she stretched out her hand and brushed it off distressedly, "It's snowing so hard, why don't you hold an umbrella?" ”

Pei Shuyi stood there feeling the temperature in Du Shixian's fingers, "I just came out of school and it snowed. It's okay, it's not cold. ”

Du Shixian withdrew her hand, pinched Pei Shuyi's face, and said with some amusement: "How many boys pursue you, as long as you stand on the street and shout, someone will immediately rush to hold an umbrella for you and send you home." ”

As the two walked towards the house, Du Shixian looked sideways at Pei Shuyi, "But then again, it's time for you to talk about love." I don't like this, there are a lot of Chinese students like you, right? Although you are very independent, you are a girl after all, and it is better to have someone to take care of you. ”

Pei Shuyi's heart twitched when she heard this, and shook her head with a smile, "You also know my temperament, if you talk about it, you will make up your mind to go to the end, so I have to choose carefully." ”

While changing her shoes at the entrance, Pei Shuyi paused, raised her head and looked at Du Shixian seriously, "Shixian, I have already explained to you about blocking bullets for Chengshu, that shot was originally fired at me, so you all misunderstood." I don't fall in love, it's not because I can't forget Chengshu, from the beginning to the present, he is really just a big brother. ”

In the past two years, Du Shixian has treated her like her own sister, although she has hidden many facts from Du Shixian, but it is also about her and Pei Tingqing, and she has no choice but to do so.

In other aspects, such as in the matter of Wei Chengshu, if she can explain it clearly, there must be no misunderstanding, she doesn't want to have estrangement and suspicion between herself and Du Shixian.

Du Shixian was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed out loud, "I'm just a sister who cares about your emotional problems, do you think so much?" ”

At first, she did mind a little, but Pei Shuyi explained, she was relieved, and Wei Chengshu was also guilty of Pei Shuyi, if Pei Shuyi didn't help them, she wouldn't be hurt.

Two years ago, Wei Chengshu went to the UK to rescue Pei Shuyi, and hired a few people there at a high price, and their savings were all used up, so it can be regarded as repaying Pei Shuyi's favor.

Du Shixian stretched out her hand and hugged Pei Shuyi, Pei Shuyi's body was very cold, Du Shixian sighed, "Fool, your character is cranky, it will be very tiring." The past is gone, and now that you are here, let go of what you should let go. ”

One night, Wei Chengshu told Du Shixian something about why the Pei family adopted Pei Shuyi, and Du Shixian felt even more sorry for Pei Shuyi, which meant that Pei Shuyi should stop thinking about the Pei family.

Pei Shuyi's body trembled when she heard this, and then her eyes were sour, sometimes she always wanted to cry because of someone else's words.

Du Shixian said that she should let go, just let go, so she really can't be obsessed with the relationship with Pei Tingqing in the past, right?

In two years, he disappeared from her world, and he never contacted her once, the most terrifying thing about the power of time is that it can dilute the feelings and people that he once thought he could not let go of and forget for a lifetime, and he ignored it for so long, does it mean that Pei Tingqing is also slowly quitting her? He was accompanied by other women, and someone had already taken her place, right?

My heart hurts.

Even if she didn't let herself have expectations, every time she thought of Pei Tingqing, she felt a sense of pain.

Pei Shuyi glanced at the flying snow outside, and before tears fell out, she changed the topic and asked Du Shixian, "What about Chengshu, aren't you at home?" ”

"I went on a business trip, I just called, and he will probably be back when we are ready." Du Shixian said as she closed the door of the living room and walked towards the kitchen.

Pei Shuyi frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Shixian, you really didn't treat me as an outsider, let me come over, it doesn't matter if you don't have a meal, you still want me to help you cook." ”

The room was warm and pleasant, the dining room and the kitchen were separated by a door, like a screen, Du Shixian opened the door and walked in first, and said to Pei Shuyi without looking back: "Let you do it and help choose the dishes, how can there be so many complaints?" ”

And it is.

In the past two years, Du Shixian asked her to come over for dinner, and she also spent the Spring Festival with Du Shixian and Wei Chengshu.

Pei Shuyi followed behind, pursed her lips and smiled softly, and took the shiitake mushrooms that Du Shixian took out of the refrigerator, and she helped deal with them on the operating table.

Du Shixian stir-fried side dishes and asked Pei Shuyi's school what program to prepare for Christmas.

Pei Shuyi is still excellent in character and learning, and is now the head of an animation design team, and they have prepared a performance program for this Christmas party, which is adapted from a set of comics drawn by Pei Shuyi, and is also being rehearsed in the last two days.

Du Shixian nodded after listening, "It's good." She put the ginger shreds into the oil pot, turned her head and asked Pei Shuyi, "Didn't you submit to the editorial department?" How's it going, did you respond? ”

"Not yet, it's probably going to be after New Year's Day, after all, the competitiveness is not small, and it's a company that makes best-selling manga in Japan, and it's not sure if they can read the manga of a newcomer like me." Pei Shuyi said lightly.

She has a great interest in comics, but she doesn't value fame and fortune, so she is not very entangled in whether the manuscripts she submitted can be published and printed.

"It doesn't matter. Shuyi I believe in you, and it is said that their current editor-in-chief is Chinese, you have a great advantage, and if the manuscript goes into their hands, it should be dealt with first. ”

Pei Shuyi was stunned when she heard this, "You study architecture, how do you know about me?" ”

Du Shixian's natural tone, "I care about you, so I deliberately learned about it." ”

Pei Shuyi was really touched by Du Shixian's dedication to her, and always felt that it was her honor to make a friend like Du Shixian.

She was about to ask Du Shixian about the arrangements of the school, when there was a noise outside, and after a while, Wei Chengshu, who had already taken off his coat, came in, holding his cuffs and greeting the two with a smile, "Shixian, Shuyi." ”

Now that he is more and more heroic and tough, his career here is gradually taking off, and the twenty-four-year-old man is in high spirits, and there is a kind of brilliance all over his body.

Wei Chengshu is still full of pity for Pei Shuyi, like a younger sister, "Xiaoxiaoshu, go to the living room to watch TV, here you can be with me and Shixian." ”

Wei Chengshu has been very busy and hard in the past two years, but he loves Du Shixian too much, every time he comes home, he will take the initiative to ask for cooking or housework.

"Hmm." Pei Shuyi smiled and nodded, opened the door and walked out, and closed it from the outside.

In the next second, Wei Chengshu took a step forward and hugged Du Shixian, who was still stir-frying, from behind, rubbing his face into her neck, and kissing his hot and soft lips on Du Shixian's ear, Wei Chengshu smiled and said: "It's so cold outside, your body is warm, let me hold it for a while, and by the way, let you smell the smell of women's perfume." ”

"Learning outside is getting poorer and poorer." Even if they have been together for more than two years, every time Wei Chengshu kisses Du Shixian, Du Shixian will still feel like being attacked by an electric current, her body is numb and trembling, "If you want to help, help me, if you don't help, go take a shower and change clothes, and you can eat immediately." ”

Wei Chengshu didn't let go, but hugged him tighter, leaned in front of Du Shixian's lips, exhaled a burning breath, and said very aggrievedly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much, don't you touch it?" ”

As the two were talking, Du Shixian felt the hard object coming up from behind, she was ashamed and helpless, and pushed Wei Chengshu's chest with her elbow, "You better hurry up and take a bath." ”

Wei Chengshu also wanted to have a more intimate move, but he was worried that Pei Shuyi was outside, so he had to finally peck Du Shixian's cheek, and then reluctantly let go of his hand, "Okay, take a good shower now, and it will be convenient to get to the point later." ”

Du Shixian: "............"

Wei Chengshu pinched Du Shixian's face dotingly, opened the door with a smile and walked out, met Pei Shuyi in the living room, and after saying hello, Wei Chengshu walked to the bedroom.

The floor of the living room is covered with tatami mats, and there are cushions on them, but Pei Shuyi and they are Chinese after all, and they are not used to kneeling for a long time here, so there is a sofa in front of the coffee table.

The design style of the residence here is focused on space, the living room is not large, but not narrow, but a large space is vacated, and a window is open.

The snow is heavier than just now, the white expanse blocks the view, and the courtyard outside is very empty, and the three wind chimes are shaking, which is beautiful and meaningful.

Pei Shuyi was sitting facing the window, with her head down and curly hair covering half of her face, the ends of her hair were scattered over her shoulders, showing off her delicate and delicate figure more and more, and she was holding her mobile phone in her hand at the moment.

Whenever she was alone thinking about Pei Tingqing, she always had to take out her mobile phone and try to call him, and then she came to her senses that she didn't have his contact information at all.

Pei Shuyi curled her lips self-deprecatingly and bitterly, and was about to put away her mobile phone when someone called in.

Unfamiliar number, Pei Shuyi hesitated but connected, and the person over there introduced himself as a responsible editor of the company's editorial department, and told Pei Shuyi in Japanese that her submission had been adopted, and if it was convenient, let her go to the editorial department in a few days to talk to her in detail.

Pei Shuyi was stunned, and her heart was suddenly very excited, facing this kind of formal company for the first time, her words were somewhat nervous.

The other party is Japanese, and he comforted in a deep voice that he had read Pei Shuyi's resume, knew that Pei Shuyi was Chinese, and drew it very well, so she didn't have to worry too much.

This made Pei Shuyi feel that the other party was very gentle, and after politely thanking her, she hung up the phone and went to the kitchen to help Du Shixian bring the food to the restaurant, so as to tell Du Shixian such good news.

Du Shixian was even happier than Pei Shuyi, "It's my birthday in a few days, and this news from Shuyi is better than any gift." Saying that, Du Shixian pulled out a chair and sat down, serving soup to Pei Shuyi, "When you also become a best-selling cartoonist here, you must not forget me when you become famous." ”

Pei Shuyi naturally didn't forget Du Shixian's birthday, she also prepared a gift, and nodded with a smile when she heard this, "Well, didn't you say that you had something good to tell me before you came?" ”

Wei Chengshu walked over at this time and sat beside Du Shixian, "What's a good thing, why don't I know?" ”

Du Shixian held Wei Chengshu's hand under the table, unable to hide the sweetness on her lips, she said to Pei Shuyi: "After my birthday, I just happened to be 20 years old. I was ready and admitted to going back to China and getting my marriage certificate on Christmas Day. ”

"Ah, so fast?" Pei Shuyi's eyes widened in surprise, after all, Du Shixian hadn't mentioned when she was going to get married before, and she didn't expect the two of them to be in such a hurry to get the certificate.

After a while, she reacted and said to Wei Chengshu and Du Shixian from the bottom of her heart: "Bless you." ”

Wei Chengshu thought that Du Shixian was going to announce something, and when he heard Pei Shuyi's blessing, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, "Yes, there are too many suitors for Shixian, and without a layer of protection, I am always unsteady in my heart." ”

He thought that Du Shixian always said that he only used his money, as if he was being fostered, he looked at Du Shixian with a smile, "And in the future, they will be legal husband and wife, and there is no such thing as I will support you." ”

Du Shixian has always been very touched by Wei Chengshu's dedication, if it weren't for her, Wei Chengshu should be in graduate school, but she went out to work to support her in college, to say that the probation period has passed, Wei Chengshu has not failed her, she is willing to become husband and wife with Wei Chengshu in a few days.

"You two are really men of action." Pei Shuyi still envied Wei Chengshu and Du Shixian in her heart, and there were many obstacles in front of the two of them, but they have come to this point step by step.

Comparing her and Pei Tingqing, Pei Tingqing has too much on her shoulders, and she has this layer of blood relationship, she and Pei Tingqing will not have results, right?

The sweeter the others, the more it sets off her loneliness, Pei Shuyi felt that her eyes were a little hot, and quickly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's drink some red wine." ”

"Okay." Du Shixian saw that Pei Shuyi's eyes were red, and she only thought that Pei Shuyi was happy for her, so she walked over and took out red wine with Pei Shuyi.

The three of them sat in the dining room, white snowflakes still dancing outside the window, and after more than an hour, it was completely dark when the meal was over.

Du Shixian didn't worry about Pei Shuyi going back alone, she was going to see Pei Shuyi, but Wei Chengshu didn't want Du Shixian to return alone, so he drove the car and sent Pei Shuyi to her residence with Du Shixian.

Pei Shuyi lives in a Western-style apartment building here, on the one hand, because Pei Tingqing considers that this is in a prosperous area, and it is more convenient for Pei Shuyi to be alone.

"I'll go up first." Pei Shuyi greeted Wei Chengshu and Du Shi, she took the umbrella handed by Du Shixian, turned around and walked towards the apartment building.

There was a stretch of uphill road, and Pei Shuyi stopped in the middle of the way, standing there with an umbrella pole on her shoulder, and she looked up at the apartment building, most of the residents were lit up, and they were connected into a sea.

However, Pei Shuyi was standing alone under the street lamp, the cold wind was whistling, fluttering with snowflakes and leaves, she only felt that even her heart was cold, until the embroidered white umbrella surface was covered with snow, Pei Shuyi walked to the apartment building.

When Pei Shuyi opened the door, the neighbor who had moved in for a few days next door also came back at this time, and the man who opened the door with the key was wearing a long windbreaker, tall and slender, and a charming-looking woman was in the crook of his right arm, which should have been brought to bed in the residence.

Pei Shuyi smelled a faint smell of alcohol, and when the corner of his eye inadvertently glanced at half of the man's handsome face, he suddenly turned his head to look at Pei Shuyi.

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, after all, they are neighbors, and Japan pays great attention to etiquette, she smiled lightly and bowed to the man, and said hello to the other party in Japanese.

Who knew that the man spoke in fluent Chinese, "Have I seen you somewhere?" He furrowed his slender eyebrows, seemed to be a little drunk, and squinted his eyes at Pei Shuyi.

Pei Shuyi met the man's gaze, and found that this man's eyes were amber, very light and transparent, but extremely beautiful.

Pei Shuyi saw this neighbor for the first time, with inky hair and a fair face, judging from the accent, it should be Chinese, Pei Shuyi also said in Chinese not very carelessly: "Maybe I met in the elevator or on the road." ”

The man still hugged the obedient woman, pursed his thin lips and examined Pei Shuyi for a few seconds, and then he nodded, "Maybe." ”

Pei Shuyi bowed her head to her neighbor, and when she pushed the door open, she could still feel the man's complicated gaze, and vaguely heard the sentence, "Aren't you the ............ that night", Pei Shuyi closed the door and cut off the sound.

During that period two years ago, Pei Shuyi was drunk in the bar all night, and she didn't eat three meals a day on time, and then she had stomach problems, and she didn't drink much at Du Shixian's tonight, but her stomach hurt in the middle of the night.

Pei Shuyi turned on the bedside light, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her face became more and more pale, she gritted her teeth and sat there, holding her stomach with her hand in pain.

In a hurry, while rummaging through the usual stomach medicine in the drawer, the ring placed inside was accidentally shaken off and rolled off to the corner of the wall.

Pei Shuyi heard a slight sound, suddenly stopped rummaging, immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and ran over in a panic without even wearing shoes.
