Chapter 99: Talking Late at Night
"Scared?" Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, "What are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm just scared."
Rong Li had already spread the quilt on the ground, then went out to get a pillow, and then lay there looking at himself with his handsome face with one hand.
Pei Yao suddenly reacted, he was worried that he was afraid, so he specially came to accompany him.
Somehow, a warm current seemed to be born in her heart, flowing through every part of her body.
"If you're scared, then you can sleep here, I'll turn off the lights."
When the words fell, Pei Yao stretched out her hand to turn off the light, only the moonlight spilled through the window, and she lay there, not shrinking herself into the quilt like just now.
She closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep, knowing that Rong Li was beside her, she wasn't as scared as before, but she couldn't fall asleep.
It's not for nothing that Rong Li spent the night together in the same room, but the last time the two of them were a little-for-tat, but now they get along very harmoniously.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard a soft cough from the ground, and then Rong Li's voice sounded quietly.
"Auntie, did you sleep?"
In the dark night, Pei Jiao opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked at the side of the bed, but she met Rong Li's eyes.
"I can't sleep, can't you sleep too?"
Pei Yao didn't want to speak, but when she looked at each other, she couldn't help but speak.
"Well, not sleepy."
"Let's talk, then."
"Say what?"
Pei Jiao spoke softly, she saw that under the moonlight, Rong Li's expression showed some thought, and then looked at her.
"Why do you want to be an undertaker? A lot of girls are scared of this profession, but you are brave. ”
Hearing the word brave, Pei Jiao suddenly laughed.
"Do you really think I'm brave, or do you think I'm not like a woman."
Her words were originally just a joke, but she didn't expect Rong Li to answer seriously.
"Before, I could just think that you didn't look like a woman, but now, I really think you're brave, you're braver than me."
"I am indeed braver than you." Pei Yao laughed, trying to break the current serious and somewhat serious atmosphere, "After all, I'm not afraid of ghosts." ”
"How can you laugh at me!" Rong Li's tone was a little aggrieved, "Do you know how hard I worked to overcome my fear of ghosts!" I go to D.G every day and have people tell me ghost stories. ”
"Doesn't that scare you the more you listen?" Pei Yao was a little curious, and then he heard Rong Li's voice come again.
"It's true that I'm going to be more and more scared, my imagination is too rich, but if you work there, I have to overcome everything, aren't I afraid now."
Rong Li laughed twice after speaking, sounding a little silly, but Pei Li fell silent.
She never thought that Rong Li's liking would be so straightforward and warm, he was like a hairy boy, clumsy in his own way to be good to himself.
Tonight, he was also worried about her self-esteem, so he said that he was afraid and used this to accompany him.
But she didn't dare to accept this sincerity.
It's not that she isn't moved, it's just that this heartbeat is suppressed by her and she doesn't feel it carefully.
Pei Yao never thought about starting a relationship, nor did she ever think that she would fall in love one day, she just wanted to be able to live this life in peace.
Rong Li was an accident for her.
Probably because she was silent for a long time, Rong Li spoke again.
"But you haven't said why you became an undertaker."
This question brought Pei Jiao's thoughts back, she lowered her gaze, looked at her hair scattered between the pillows, and suddenly smiled.
"My parents jumped off a cliff and died."
Her voice was flat, as if she wasn't talking about herself.
"Back then, I saw them jump with my own eyes, and later, I saw their bodies at the bottom of the cliff. Falling from a high altitude, they had a lot of wounds on their bodies, and their faces were covered with blood, which was very unsightly, and I thought at the time, if only they could walk decently. ”
Pei Yao's eyes were closed, as if he was recalling the past.
"Later, I learned about the undertaker industry, probably because I had regrets in my heart, so I became an undertaker."
Her tone didn't fluctuate too much throughout the whole process, but Rong Li had already thought of how scared and sad the little girl should have been when she saw her parents fall off the cliff.
He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Pei Yao's hand in the quilt, only to feel that her hands were so cold.
Pei Yao opened his eyes and looked at him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little bigger.
She could more or less guess what Rong Li was thinking now, he must have felt very sorry for himself, but she hadn't thought about these things for a long time, and she was deliberately forgetting how she felt at that time.
As long as you don't want to, you won't be sad.
For so many years, she has been living like this.
"Don't show such an expression, you'll make me feel pathetic."
"I'm not pitying you."
Rong Li sniffed, Pei Jiao looked carefully, his eyes seemed to be a little red.
"Why are you still crying?"
"I didn't cry, it was a little cold, and I was cold all day."
Listening to his hard words, the boulder that was pressing on Pei Yao's heart seemed to loosen a lot.
"In short, these things are in the past, I only value the present and the future, you don't have to worry."
With that, she paused and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Rong Li's eyes.
"Don't take it to heart about my kidnapping, I told you that it's lucky it's you, it's not a lie, I really feel lucky, really, it's good that it's you."
Rong Li didn't expect Pei Jiao to still want to liberate himself at this time, and the emotions in his heart seemed to be more and more surging, and his distress and liking were mixed together, and he was about to come out.
Pei Yao also looked at him seriously, but he didn't move after seeing a lot, she just wanted to say sleep, but she was suddenly pulled up by her, and then, she felt a softness on her lips.
After realizing what was happening, the person in front of her left, and she could feel the suppressed emotions in Pei Yao's calm eyes, and she could also feel the love in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't control myself."
Pei Jiao was not angry, on the contrary, this feeling made her very strange, but she did not reject it, thinking that she should have had a relationship with Rong Li, and she was grateful to him in her heart, so she did not reject it.
"Don't take it as an example."
"yes, okay."
Seeing that he should come down, she pulled out her hand and pushed him, "Go to sleep." ”
After saying that, she lay down and closed her eyes, hiding their thoughts, and neither of them spoke again.
