These words made Rong Li relax, and Pei Jiao took him out and stood still where the car could stop.

Pei Yao was still holding his wrist in her hand, but the people around her lowered their heads at this time, looking a little depressed.

She thought Rong Li was still afraid of what she had just seen, and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, the police will investigate clearly, don't be afraid."

Rong Li nodded, just said thank you, but still didn't raise his head.

"And what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Rong Li's hand moved, "I'm just a little ......"

He looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, and Pei Yao held his hand tightly.

"I'm just a little embarrassed."

After speaking, Rong Li's head lowered a little, "In such a situation, I should protect you." ”

"Why do you have to protect me?" Pei Yao looked at him with some curiosity, "Normal people, when they suddenly see an arm on the ground, they will be afraid, this is human nature, I am not afraid because my job is an undertaker, I often come into contact with corpses, can the forensic doctor be afraid of corpses?" ”

Pei Jiao raised Rong Li's head and made him meet his gaze.

"Rong Li, you can face your fears, don't feel ashamed because you're afraid, and don't give yourself so many constraints because you're a man, why can't men be afraid, why can't men be timid, everyone is human."

Her tone was very serious, and there were more doubts in her eyes when she saw Rong Li.

"But men are born to protect women."

"No one is born to protect anyone." Pei Yao clenched his hand tightly, "You and I protect you in this matter today, and you can also protect me in a certain matter in the future, everyone has their own areas of expertise, so don't think about it, you are already very good." ”

When the words fell, Rong Li was stunned, he looked at Pei Yao for a long time and didn't move.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why he liked her.

He has grown so big, only Pei Yao will tell himself, you are great now, even if you have experienced such a thing since you were a child, you have grown into a good adult smoothly.

Only Pei Yao will feel that timidity is not a problem, he is afraid of the night, he is afraid of ghosts, she will not laugh at herself, but say, you have to learn to face your fears, this is not ashamed.

Rong Li looked at Pei Yao's gaze a little stunned, Pei Jiao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, but found that this person did not move.

"Rongli, the car is here, go home."

A car stopped behind them, Rong Li came back to his senses, Pei Jiao just wanted to speak, suddenly, the person in front of her hugged herself, she could feel the cold air emanating from Rong Li's clothes, and she could also feel the heat of his embrace.

"Thank you, Pei Jiao."

Hearing this, the corners of Pei Yao's mouth also made a shallow arc, and she gently patted Rong Li on the back, "Let's go, the driver is waiting for us." ”

……

This happened, and in the next few days, Pei Jiao could see Rong Li waiting for him at the door of the funeral home every night, and he was wearing a suit every day recently, looking a little busy.

Walking next to him, Pei Yao saw him open the car door directly, "Grandma asked us to eat." ”

Hearing this, Pei Jiao got on the bus, but saw a strawberry cake on the seat.

"On the way over, I saw a cake shop with a lot of people, thinking that you must be hungry after a busy day, so eat some of this first to pad your stomach."

The cake was placed in Pei Yao's hand, and the sweet and sour aroma of the cream mixed with the sweet and sour smell of strawberries came to his face, and Pei Yao felt that he had a little more appetite.

After a busy day, she was indeed hungry, but the cake was a little big, and she couldn't eat it by herself, so she picked up a spoon and handed it to Rong Li.

"Let's eat together."

The cake was placed between the two of them by Pei Yao, and Pei Jiao tasted it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"It's delicious."

Looking at the cake that was missing, Rong Li also carefully dug a piece, the cake was sweet, and his heart was also sweet.

This is the first time to eat the same cake with Pei Yao, Rong Li thought to himself, this is probably also a day to remember.

When the car drove to Grandma Rong's house, half of the cake was eaten, and Pei Jiao put away the cake before going upstairs with Rong Li.

When she went upstairs, she found that not only Grandma Rong was there, but Rong Feng was also there, but as soon as she saw them, Rong Feng directly pulled Rong Li away, and she was also pulled by Grandma Rong to her side.

"Auntie, haven't you been too busy at work lately, and everyone has lost weight."

"Nope." Pei Yao smiled, "I've eaten a lot recently, and I think I've gained a little weight." ”

Hearing this, Grandma Rong smiled a little more.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with Rong Li lately? I see you guys got along a little better when you first came in than you did before. ”

"Luckily, we've been living together lately, so we know a little bit more than we knew before."

Pei Yao just answered Grandma Rong's question, but after speaking, she saw that the smile on Grandma Rong's face became more and more strange.

She was stunned for a moment before she realized the meaning behind this smile, and just as she wanted to explain, Grandma Rong's voice came again.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Rong Li has been going to work every day recently, if it weren't for you, he didn't know when he would be able to figure it out."

"Going to work?"

Pei Yao's tone was a little surprised, she only knew that Rong Li had been busy recently, but she didn't know that he had gone to work.

"Hmm." Grandma Rong nodded, "Actually, although Rong Li's child doesn't look out of tune, he is very business-minded, which he inherited from his father, but because of her mother's reasons, he is reluctant to enter the company to help his father share the burden." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Yao sighed when she saw Grandma Rong.

"Fu Rong only thinks about helping the Fu family, her desire to control Rong Li is so strong, Rong Li is worried that if he enters the company and grasps the power, Fu Rong will definitely find ways to let him help the Fu family, although Rong Li was treated like his mother when he was a child, but he has always been very eager for maternal love in his heart, if Fu Rong really asks him to do something, he will not refuse."

Speaking of this, Pei Yao took Grandma Rong's hand.

"Everything will be fine, don't worry too much."

"I know." Pei Yao saw that Grandma Rong had a little more smile on her face, and she also laughed.

"Rong Li has always refused to go to the company before, but that day he went to his dad and said that he had figured it out, he couldn't hide like this forever, keep hiding, the problem will never be solved, he might as well take the initiative and attack, I thought about it, you are the only one who can make him change his mind, you give him a lot of courage and make him more mature, so grandma wants to thank you."

After speaking, Pei Yao saw Grandma Rong take out a box from her back.

"It's a gift from grandma."
