Fireworks set off outside the window, and bursting sounds echoed between the buildings.

Pei Yue lay there on her side, watching the fireworks rising outside the window.

It's the New Year.

Everyone else is beaming, only she seems to be experiencing calamity every New Year.

The big hand on her waist tightened, and she suddenly came back to her senses, curled up her body, revealing a sense of defensiveness and repulsion.

He Jingxi didn't mind, lowered his head and walked along her shoulder with his lips, and seemed to be in a good mood and said, "This house is too bad, don't live there, I'll pack up my things later, and move to me."

She said wearily, "My brother will be back next week...... I don't worry about him being at home......

"Oh? Your brother is studying in No. 1 Middle School, his name is Lu Rin, right?" He even remembered it, and he said lightly, "Let your brother move over too, I have a place for him to live."

Pei Yue was so frightened that her back was cold, and she gritted her teeth, "No, he doesn't have to ......."

He Jingxi laughed lukewarmly, "It's okay if you don't move, I'll live here with you, and when your brother comes back, I haven't seen you for a few years, your brother won't be so short, right?"

Pei Yue curled up tightly, looked at the dim night outside the window, and said in a dumb voice, "I'll move...... I'll move ...... in a moment."

"Yes, good." He Jingxi was also tired, and rested his chin on her shoulder socket with satisfaction.

There was a very fresh smell on her body, which smoothed his clogged sense of smell a lot.

In this simple and dilapidated house, he slept very comfortably, and it was the first time he could sleep so deeply in the past few days.

——

Palazzo.

Pei Yue put her luggage in the cabinet and went downstairs to prepare a meal.

She doesn't like to cook, and she doesn't have any requirements for food, Lu Rin is at home, he loves to cook, and she can't wait to eat ready-made.

Now I do it myself, but it's a little unfamiliar, and I don't know how to start with a piece of good beef for a long time.

The phone rang, she looked at it, and it was Lu Rin who sent her a video.

She didn't dare to answer in the palace, so she switched the voice call, and the person on the other end asked her, "Sister Yue, is there enough food?" I bought the ticket and will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Why is it so early?"

Lu Rin was silent and only said, "I want to go home."

Pei Yue felt that he was not very happy, she also had the same feeling as Lu Rin in her heart, she also wanted to go home, this luxurious Li Palace was just a golden birdcage for her.

"Hmm......" Pei Yue cut the beef, "What time is the car, I'll pick you up."

"No, it's too cold, I'll just go back by myself, I bought you a lot of delicious food." Lu Rin said a few words to her, and her mood improved, "I still have good news that I want to share with you."

"What? Say it now."

"No, say it to your face. I said on the phone that I didn't feel that way."

Pei Yue unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, "Cut, the stinky boy is still selling Guanzi."

When He Jingxi came over, he saw her talking to the phone with a gentle face, and that look, knowing that she was talking to her brother, didn't know, and thought it was a lover whispering.

Hearing He Jingxi open the refrigerator, Pei Yue was startled, and hung up the call before she had time to say goodbye to Lu Rin.

He Jingxi turned his eyes at her, saw that her face was flushed, and mocked, "What? Dirty? Afraid your brother will know you're with me?".

The blush on Pei Yue's face faded and became a little whiter, begging him, "He Shao...... He was studying at a critical time, and I didn't want to influence him...... He's young and cranky......

He Jingxi didn't bother to pay attention to her, and urged, "Do you know how to cook? I haven't cut the meat for a long time?"

"I've made a soup." Pei Yue observed him, and saw that his face was flat and did not fluctuate, and asked tentatively, "He Shao, my brother will come back the day after tomorrow, he is in a foreign country for the New Year, I want to go back to see him, he is not yet an adult, I want to take care of him and come back, can I just do it for a day?"

He didn't say yes or no, his eyes swept over her, "You have a good relationship with your brother?"

"Hmm...... We have been dependent on each other since we were children, and our parents didn't care about us."

Pei Yue said that she and Lu Rin were half-siblings, and He Jingxi naturally wouldn't investigate for this matter, and he was not interested in knowing about the chaos in her family.

He opened the beer can, took two sips, and looked at her obliquely, with an apron, long hair loose, and a young and pretty face, a bit of a good family.

He surged with enthusiasm and said evilly, "Okay, but it depends on whether you sell hard tonight."

Pei Yue was short of breath and said with a red face, "He Shao...... You're not well yet, stop drinking......

It's good that she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, he didn't even want to wait for the night, so he went over and tore off her apron and started to move.

——

He Jingxi finally let her go home for two days.

Gave her a bunch of car keys and told her to drive.

She didn't dare to drive, the car he gave was a million-dollar luxury car, and she couldn't afford to pay for it if it broke down, besides, she drove this car back, in case it was seen by an acquaintance, she couldn't explain it at all.

He Jingxi looked at her pushing, and said in disgust, "The mud can't support the wall, it's poor and sour."

Pei Yue smiled at him to calm his unhappiness, saving him from embarrassment with himself, he had something to go to the company today, he didn't bother with her too much, he gave her a ride on the way, threw her at the station and left.

Pei Yue came home early and cleaned up the house, she and He Jingxi had done bad things at home, she had a feeling of weakness, and took off all the sheets and quilt covers and pillows and washed them carefully.

Lu Rin arrived in the afternoon, as soon as he entered the house, his ears were red from the cold, and the moment before opening the door, he was still preoccupied, and when he opened the door and saw Pei Yue, he suddenly opened the clouds and fog, and put down the big bag and small bag, "Sister Yue. I'm back."

Pei Yue took the things into the house and brought him slippers, "Why are you in the car in the early morning, don't you have to sleep in the first half of the night?"

"I want to come back early and be with you." Lu Rin took off his coat and walked to her, he was already eight centimeters taller than Pei Yue, standing in front of him, it actually caused a little oppression to Pei Yue, he often exercised, his shoulders and back were very broad and powerful, and from behind, he was completely in the shape of a man.

He leaned too close and lowered his eyes to look at her, he really missed her, his eyes filled with endless emotion.

The chill on his body rushed to her, and she was a little out of breath, staggering his gaze, "Stinky boy, didn't you say you had good news to say?"

He leaned over slightly, leaned closer to her, and shared, "Sister Yue, I won the first place in the province in the last competition, and the teacher called me, and I can be escorted to the university."

"Really?" Pei Yue was pleasantly surprised, it is a top university in China, and being admitted is equivalent to embarking on a bright future.

"Of course. It's a pity that I can't skip a grade and be admitted, so I still have to finish my third year of high school."

Looking at him, Pei Yue was so excited that she spun around, "Stinky boy, this time it's really a glorious ancestor! Great, in the future, your old sister and I will go out and walk sideways!"

He smiled, "Of course you can walk sideways, I am here today, and it is all thanks to you."

Looking at her emotions that were about to be vented, he opened his arms, "Don't you hug me, Sister Yue?"
