Chapter 108: Like Love
Pei Yao put a spoonful of porridge in her mouth, the fishy smell of the seafood was well handled, only the deliciousness remained, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's delicious."
Her tone and expression were very sincere, Rong Li's drooping heart was also relaxed, and the smile on her face was a little more.
"What do you want to do today? I have time and can accompany you. ”
Pei Jiao lowered his head and drank porridge, and suddenly heard Rong Li's words, and raised his head to look at him in surprise.
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"They still have two days off, and it's okay for me to take a break once in a while, besides, I haven't seen you in days."
Rong Li's tone was very natural, but listening to Pei Yao's ears, it made her hand pause.
This is not right.
The two of them are obviously not in love, but their relationship seems to be further than ambiguous.
Especially after that night.
Pei Yao suddenly realized this and watched Rong Li's gaze change a little.
She shook her head, "I have something to do today, I can't be with you." ”
Probably not hearing the rejection in her words, Rong Li smiled.
"Okay, then I can only go back to the company to work overtime."
After saying this, Pei Jiao didn't speak again, and after eating, she went back to the room directly, and she was relieved when she heard the sound of the door closing.
She sat on the bed and looked out the window with a little puzzlement in her eyes.
Obviously, they want to keep their distance from Rong Li, why are they so close now?
It's so close, like a lover in love.
She couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, so she got up and changed her clothes and prepared to visit her grandmother in the hospital, but as soon as she walked out of the room door, she saw Rong Li sitting on the sofa in home clothes, with a computer in front of her, looking like she was working.
They looked at each other, and Pei Yao was a little surprised.
"Didn't you go to work?"
After speaking, she saw Rong Li smile.
"I thought about it, it's better to rest today, you go out and do your own business, I'll wait for you at home, you think about what to eat, I'll prepare it in the evening."
"You...... You don't have to. ”
Pei Jiao said softly, "You are originally a pampered young master who doesn't worry about everything, why do you do these things?" ”
"If you want to do it, do you need why?"
She watched Rong Li stand up and walk in front of her, "What's more, you are Pei Yao, and I am not so good to anyone." ”
Rong Li wanted to take Pei Yao's hand, but Pei Jiao subconsciously dodged.
He was stunned for a moment, his hands in the air, and some did not react.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong that made you angry? ”
"Nope." Pei Jiao lowered his head and didn't look at his gaze, "I just think that during this time, we are too close, this is not right, our marriage is fake, so I still hope that we can keep our distance as before." ”
When the words fell, she didn't care about Rongli's expression anymore and left the house directly.
After walking out, she took a deep breath.
It should be like this, since you don't want to start a relationship, don't give Rong Li useless hope.
Thinking about this clearly, she wrapped her coat tightly and went to the hospital to visit her grandmother.
When Pei Jiao arrived at the hospital, her grandmother had just finished today's routine examination, and since she was transferred to the military hospital, her grandmother's spirit seemed much better than before, which also made her feel a little brighter.
She walked up to her grandmother, put away the flowers and fruits she had brought, and sat down to hold her hand.
"Grandma, I've been too busy lately to see you much, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, Xiaoli often comes to see me, he told me that you have been very busy lately, by the way, why didn't he come today?"
Hearing her grandmother mention Rong Li, the smile on Pei Yao's face paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
"He had a job today, so he didn't come over."
With that, she picked up the apple and fruit knife from the side, lowered her head and began to peel the apple.
But after a while, she heard her grandmother's voice come again.
"You and Xiaoli didn't have an awkward relationship, did you?"
"Why do you ask?" Pei Yao put the peeled apples into her grandmother's mouth one by one as if nothing had happened.
"I'm from here, I can tell at a glance what is going on between you. And you are the child I raised, how could I not understand you. ”
Grandma refused her another apple and continued to speak.
"Xiaoli is a good boy, and he is really good to you, I can see this, but you, I know that you are a little resistant to feelings because of your parents, but it is rare for people to meet a person who is willing to accompany you through your life and protect you for a lifetime, you don't want to live up to others."
"How could I? Grandma, shouldn't you turn your face to me? ”
She leaned on her grandmother's arm, revealing a girl's coquettish posture, and only in her grandmother's place would Pei Yao show such a side.
"It's because of you that I'm telling you this."
Pei Yao's head was flicked by her grandmother, and she was a little painful, but when she raised her head to meet her grandmother's gentle and kind gaze, she also smiled.
"But grandma, I've always wanted to ask you something, do you blame my father?"
Hearing this, the smile on her grandmother's face paused, but in the next second, her palm stroked Pei Yao's hair, just like when she was a child.
"I don't blame him, he's my child too."
Pei Yao's body was lying on the hospital bed, looking up at her grandmother, like the little girl who had not grown up before.
She saw her grandmother smile at herself.
"Your eyes look very similar to your father, very pure."
Probably remembering the past, my grandmother's expression was a little nostalgic.
"When I first picked up your father, he was lying in the snow and everyone was freezing, and then I took him home and raised him as my own son. I knew he was sick, and the people in the town advised me to throw him away, but he was also a life, so what if he was sick? As long as people can live well, I raised him like that, and then he married your mother and gave birth to you, although your aunt had left at that time, there were regrets, but also happy. ”
Speaking of this, Grandma sighed.
"Later, when you are twelve years old, they will have an accident, and you and I will be left in this family, but fortunately, you don't resent them, if you have been living with resentment, and when grandma arrives below, you don't know how to face them."
Hearing this, Pei Yao held her grandmother's hand tightly, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go.
"No, my grandmother will always be with me."
"Silly boy, no one will always accompany anyone, the most important thing is to grasp the present."
