When Xiang Yuyao walked in, he saw such a picture, he paused, and he didn't want to disturb the silence for a long time.

Pei Shuyi under the light exudes a kind of tranquility, with an indifferent temperament that does not match her age, she is very beautiful, but among the women Xiang Yuyao has come into contact with, she is not the most beautiful, but she is the one that makes him look the most comfortable.

He suddenly recalled the unexpected kiss, at that time he didn't put his tongue in, and only touched the four lip flaps, and he didn't feel much to complete the task, and at this moment Xiang Yuyao raised his finger to touch his lips, and seemed to be able to feel her softness and burning sensation.

For a moment, Xiang Yuyao only felt a familiar feeling gushing out of his chest, intense and surging, he let go of the woman who had left him bruised for many years, and he would not have this feeling anymore, so now he was actually tempted by a girl who was nearly ten years old from him?

Xiang Yuyao's fingers pinched, at this moment he only felt embarrassed, because he was afraid of being hurt again, so he had already sealed his heart, and he would never give true love to the second woman again, at this moment, he just wanted to strangle it before he fell into it.

Xiang Yuyao closed his eyes vigorously, and after a pause, he turned around abruptly, wanting to leave as if he hadn't come.

Who knew that Pei Shuyi raised her head at this moment and was stunned for a moment, "Xiang Yuyao, why are you here?" ”

In the whole of Tokyo, there are only a few people who call him by his name, but Pei Shuyi, a college student, dares to call him like this all the time.

As if the voyeur was caught, Xiang Yuyao's back was a little stiff, and when he let go of his clenched fingers, he turned his head a little mechanically and met Pei Shuyi's eyes, only to find that there was a light smile on her lips.

This is the second time he has seen her smile since he knew her for half a month, and there was always a shadow in her eyes in the past.

"I just came back from a party with a few of them, and my phone ran out of battery, so I stopped by to look for you." Xiang Yuyao suppressed the throbbing in his chest and faced Pei Shuyi very calmly.

Because he had drunk some wine, he explained the undesirable urge just now as the effect of alcohol, and it was suddenly relaxed.

"Oh." Pei Shuyi responded politely, she put away a few books, walked to the bookshelf over there, and put the books in their places.

During this period, she saw that there was something that was placed indiscriminately, so she also took it out and patiently found its original position and put it back.

Xiang Yuyao didn't urge Pei Shuyi, she stood there and watched Pei Shuyi do this without complaint, and occasionally when she encountered a place where she couldn't reach the height, she either stood on tiptoe or got a wooden ladder, in short, she didn't let the tall Xiang Yuyao help.

After ten minutes, Pei Shuyi returned everything to its original state, walked back with her laptop and pen and paper, and said to Xiang Yuyao: "I'm sorry, I made you wait for me." ”

Xiang Yuyao didn't say anything, silently took the laptop in Pei Shuyi's hand, Pei Shuyi held her comic book, and when the two walked out one after the other, the female administrator of the library in her forties thanked Pei Shuyi in Japanese.

Ms. Pei said it was just a gesture, and that last year she sometimes stayed too late in the library and asked the administrator to accommodate her.

Xiang Yuyao was wearing a windbreaker jacket with a vertical collar and a scarf around his neck, deliberately covering his face, but the administrator did not recognize him and asked Pei Shuyi if he was his boyfriend.

Before Pei Shuyi could speak, Xiang Yuyao explained that he was Chinese with Pei Shuyi, and her family asked him to take care of her here, which was considered a brother and male girlfriend, and he had a girlfriend himself.

is so detailed and frank, the administrator naturally did not misunderstand, and used this as a joke to let Pei Shuyi have a boyfriend, and don't waste her college years if she looks beautiful.

Pei Shuyi shook her head and said gently, young people should work hard for the future, and when she finally said goodbye to the administrator, the administrator saw that neither of them had umbrellas, so she went to find two umbrellas and handed them to Pei Shuyi.

Outside there was heavy snow, the street lamps illuminated the surrounding scenery, it seemed deep and silent, the two of them walked on the brick road with umbrellas, their shoes made a "creaking" sound on the snow, Xiang Yuyao turned his head to look at Pei Shuyi, paused, he took off his coat and handed it to Pei Shuyi.

Pei Shuyi was not pretentious, she put it on her shoulders after thanking her, and the warmth came with the unique pine fragrance on Xiang Yuyao's body, which made people's whole heart warm in this icy and snowy night, and Pei Shuyi couldn't help but pinch the corner of her coat.

Back in the car, Xiang Yuyao turned on the heating very much, and after checking the time, he found that it was already more than ten o'clock, he started the car, "Find a coffee shop to eat some desserts, and let's talk about business." ”

During that time, Pei Shuyi dared to stay in a place like a bar until dawn, she was naturally not afraid of what Xiang Yuyao would do to her, and asked casually, "Didn't Editor-in-Chief Xiang only talk about business when he was working?" ”

Xiang Yuyao glanced sideways at Pei Shuyi when he heard this, pulled his lips and asked gloomily: "Then let's go back to Qingzhu Club now?" ”

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

A few minutes later, the two got out of the car and walked into the café, Xiang Yuyao ordered coffee by himself and asked Pei Shuyi for a dessert.

While waiting, Xiang Yuyao took out a magazine from his briefcase and handed it to Pei Shuyi, "I made a special page for Christmas Day for you, and this issue of the magazine is advanced to tomorrow." He resumed work with a paralyzed face that was not smiling, and said to Pei Shuyi in a deep voice, "This is given to me by the sales department, you can take a look first." ”

I got the magazine one day earlier than the public, and it was the first time that my comics were published and turned into paper products, Pei Shuyi of course couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and after taking the magazine, she turned to the page that Xiang Yuyao said.

It is worthy of being the No. 1 best-selling manga book in Tokyo, and it is different from ordinary magazines in terms of production, and more importantly, Pei Shuyi's original manuscript has been revised by the editor in charge, making it more interesting without changing her style and story.

Pei Shuyi finally suppressed the excitement in her heart, raised her head and said to Xiang Yuyao sincerely: "Thank you, I am very satisfied."

The coffee was brought to Xiang Yuyao's hand at this time, he looked down at the beautiful pattern there, and the division between public and private and Pei Shuyi was very clear, "Your original manuscript was revised by me, and it is within my responsibility." ”

"Huh?" Pei Shuyi looked at Xiang Yuyao in surprise, "You are also in charge of the author?" ”

"Well, they're all some of the top authors in the comic industry, and you're a newcomer for my first time, so you should know what I mean." Xiang Yuyao looked at Pei Shuyi, her amber eyes were sharp, "Don't embarrass me Pei Shuyi." I can't ask for much from you, by the end of next year, you have to be in the top five of Tokyo's best-selling manga charts, and within three years, the top three in the whole of Japan. ”

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

Isn't that high?

Conan was in first place last year, so how difficult is the top three for her as a newcomer?

Xiang Yuyao took a sip of coffee, put down the cup again, and said to Pei Shuyi expressionlessly: "If you don't have the confidence to do it, I advise you to give up now, I don't accept mediocrity here." ”

Pei Shuyi was young and strong after all, and she was so excited by Xiang Yuyao that she slapped the magazine on the table at once, shaking the coffee cup with a slight sound, but Pei Shuyi gently threw down three words, "It can be done." ”

At this moment, Pei Shuyi was full of a confident brilliance, which reminded Xiang Yuyao of the woman she once loved the most, and when she proposed to break up with him, she said that she was going to pursue her dreams, or she would definitely succeed in a few years, standing on the ballet stage facing the world, for which she married his eldest brother.

Xiang Yuyao curled his lips, a dull pain in his chest, and he suddenly asked Pei Shuyi, "Is your family very rich?" ”

Pei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xiang Yuyao asked like this, and immediately raised her vigilance, "What do you mean?" ”

"The tuition fee of DM University is 2 million a year, and studying art is too big an investment, a total of about 3.5 million, and according to your residence and clothing, I think you are at least 5 million a year." When checking and tracking their car that night, Xiang Yuyao also investigated Pei Shuyi's background by the way.

But the results show that Pei Shuyi was born in an ordinary family and can't afford Pei Shuyi's study abroad at all, so it is obvious that someone has made a fake life experience for Pei Shuyi behind her back, which shows Pei Shuyi's strong background.

5 million is indeed an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and Pei Shuyi herself knows her expenses for a year, and this money is borne by Pei Tingqing alone.

Pei Tingqing has no income from the underworld business in a place like South Africa, the Pei family's medical career over there has just started, and Pei Zongyou suspects that her relationship with Pei Tingqing is abnormal, so Pei Zongyou will definitely control Pei Tingqing's salary, so how much hardship does a person like Pei Tingqing, who is only twenty-two years old, have to pay to provide her with education and bear all her expenses?

Take Wei Chengshu as an example, how hard Wei Chengshu works on weekdays, and Du Shixian relies on various scholarships and works part-time, but what about her? She never had to worry about money, because she never had enough money on her credit card.

When she first came, she played the piano in the restaurant, and it was only a little Weibo salary, and then she couldn't bear the humiliation, and she didn't even ask for money to stop doing it, even if her parents died and the family went bankrupt, she never fell down, but at that time she deeply experienced the hardships of making money.

It's not that she doesn't know how much Pei Tingqing has paid behind her back in order to support her, but he has ignored her for two years, and in today's world where communication tools are so developed, he doesn't even have a phone call or text message, how can she not think nonsense?

She just missed him too much, it was too painful, so she didn't want to go around him anymore, just live for him, and at this moment, she realized again what Pei Tingqing had done for her, but she wanted to forget him, and the guilt in her heart couldn't help but gush out.

Pei Shuyi's eyes were sour, and she couldn't help but want to cry, so she quickly stood up and said to Xiang Yuyao, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

The piano sound in the café sounded at this time, low and soft, which was very in line with the atmosphere of the snow outside, but Pei Shuyi listened to this timbre, and her whole body was suddenly shocked.

Eldest brother?!

There is no one kind of the same piano sound in this world, everyone's style is different, and the timbre of playing is different, and Pei Shuyi has a certain piano level, coupled with the familiarity with Pei Tingqing's tune, it was only half a minute, and she judged it.

Pei Shuyi stood stiffly in place, as if she was nailed, unable to move at all, and the beautiful piano sound flowed out, coming from all directions, surrounding Pei Shuyi's whole person.

Soon after, a man sang a Chinese song in a deep voice, "Falling in love with you unconsciously is like breathing."

Obviously you are lying in my arms now

Still skeptical

I always feel like I don't push hard enough

How can I hold you tighter............"

Pei Shuyi's slender body shook suddenly, her mind was blank for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and before tears poured out, Pei Shuyi rushed to the piano regardless of it, "Big brother." ”

However, what came into her hazy sight was not the person she thought about day and night, and the song was also played in the original sound, not sung by this player, but Pei Shuyi keenly heard that the piano sound was different from before she ran over.

Pei Shuyi suddenly turned around and looked around, until she saw the back of the departure at the door, her eyes widened, and the next second she ran out of pursuit, grabbing the man's arm on the street outside.

Pei Shuyi took a step forward and hugged him tightly from behind without saying a word, remembering that when she woke up two years ago, she couldn't find Pei Tingqing in the entire residence, and finally broke down and cried, Pei Shuyi suddenly felt unprecedented fear, her face was pressed against the man's broad back, her tears suddenly welled up, and she choked up and said: "Big brother, don't go, don't leave me ............"

The man's back stiffened slightly, and the white snowflakes in the sky under the street lamp fell on the two of them, silent, Pei Shuyi heard her violent heartbeat, and she sobbed and her whole body was trembling.

I don't know how long it took, the arm was held by the man and pulled away from his waist, and the other party turned around and told Pei Shuyi in Japanese that she recognized the wrong person.

Pei Shuyi was shocked suddenly, and looked up at that face stiffly, handsome and fair-skinned, but so unfamiliar.

Pei Shuyi mechanically let go of her hand and took a step back, she stood in the heavy snow, forgetting to apologize to the other party.

And the other party saw her burst into tears, her figure was thin and blurry in the heavy snow, the man's movements froze, he didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

On the long street, his back was gradually submerged by the heavy snow and passing vehicles, Pei Shuyi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her legs were weak, and then she slowly squatted on the ground, hugged her knees and cried bitterly.

Snowflakes fell on Pei Shuyi's hair, shoulders, and back, looking at her from behind, her whole body was trembling, as if she would faint at any time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't stop crying for a long time.

Xiang Yuyao was standing behind Pei Shuyi, and he didn't step forward.

He thought of himself sitting by the glass window outside the café that year, and it was also like the middle of the night now, with the cold wind blowing on his body with snowflakes, and he covered his face with both hands, and tears rolled down his face.

It turns out that Pei Shuyi also has the person she loves in her heart, and she and he are both the kind of people who are hurt by love.
