Chapter 10: Picking up the head and getting stuck in the door

The silent elevator.

The corridor was quiet. With only two breaths and two footsteps to be heard, it seemed particularly empty.

When they reached the door, Su Yin couldn't help but grab Pei Weixue's hand as she was about to open the door, "Would you like to have a bowl of hot soup before coming back?"

He didn't drink much, but even on those few occasions, Pei Weixue would always have a hangover no matter how much he drank. Drinking the hot soup would relieve his headache the next day.

"Didn't you say you wanted to change it?" Pei Weixue turned and looked at him.

Su Yin still expressed the same doubt as before: "Huh?" He looked at the stubbornness in Pei Weixue's eyes, wondering if he had done something wrong again. He had no memory of those things before, but since he 'woke up', he had always wanted to repair this relationship and he would definitely do it if he said so.

He waited for Pei Weixue to continue, but after waiting for so long, Pei Weixue let go. He subconsciously grabbed Pei Weixue's hand, "Xue'er, can you explain it more clearly? Don't make me guess."

He tilted his head back and put his mouth close to hers. "I've grown a mouth. My mouth can say a lot of things. It can become a loudspeaker. Can you, like before, say whatever you want to say?"

before.....

Pei Weixue thought about these two words, shook off his hand and pulled at his collar, exuding a coldness that seemed too lazy to say anything more. He entered the password and wanted to go back to rest.

"Xue'er!" Su Yin jumped between him and the door. "Will you continue to be my model? I only remember your measurements from six years ago. I want to participate in the Haicheng design competition. If I can make it to the finals, maybe the teacher will be willing to accept me again."

"Didn't you go find He Nan? Isn't he your boss?" Pei Weixue took two steps back, crossed her arms, and glared at him coldly. "Why? He didn't want to, so you had to settle for me?"

He was a little surprised that Su Yin would go to see Teacher Ye again.

Six years ago, when they had just gotten their marriage certificate, Teacher Ye Lin came to their house to look for Su Yin. He knew that Su Yin was going to study abroad with Ye Lin for half a year.

Although it will separate the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, it will be of great help to Su Yin's career. He has always been very supportive and firmly believes that he and Su Yin can withstand the long-distance relationship and no longer be together day and night.

He was the one who packed the passports and luggage, but Su Yin stood up Teacher Ye. Teacher Ye was very angry when he came to his house. He said that he had waited for Su Yin at the airport for a long time and asked him what he wanted to do.

Bang bang!

"Brother Yin. Teacher Ye is here. Why aren't you coming out yet?" Pei Weixue blamed himself for not paying attention to the time. He was only thinking about how many things Su Yin was going to take out and didn't call anyone in time.

After trying to persuade Teacher Ye, Su Yin finally said through the door, "I'm not going."

Teacher Ye left in anger. That day was also the first time he had a big argument with Su Yin.

In his opinion, Su Yin should not give up this opportunity. In Su Yin's opinion, he was meddling in other people's business.

It was said to be a big quarrel, but in fact it was just his one-sided statement.

Because Su Yin knew how to anger someone, especially someone like him who was "sick".

Just two words: 'silence'.

"I'm not..." Su Yin argued.

Pei Weixue interrupted him, "Su Yin, you have to understand that I, Pei Weixue, am not someone you can retreat to. You have no shame, but I still have some." He said this without any confidence. He should have been very angry, but when he met Su Yin's gaze, he could hardly hide the indescribable loneliness in his heart.

People say Su Yin is shameless, but when has he ever had any shame?

Especially when Su Yin was pestering He Nan, when He Nan called him to pick someone up, a simple glance could make him feel embarrassed.

"What do you mean by second best?" Su Yin's shoulders tensed, eyebrows raised, and even his voice became much higher, "You are not!"

Pei Weixue's expression was slightly distant, and he distanced himself from the two of them. He said calmly, "You said it yourself. You don't love me, so I'm the mistress between you and He Nan. I have to make way for you. Isn't this what you call settling for second best?"

Boom!

A thunder rumbled in the sky outside the corridor.

Su Yin felt like the thunder was striking his head, making a buzzing sound. What the hell was that?

Is this what 'he' said?

Damn it.

"No, Xue'er. I don't have those memories now, and I'm not pretending to be stupid with you. But if, 'I' really said it, my head must have been stuck in the door." Su Yin moved closer quietly. He really liked the woody cedar scent on Pei Weixue. Although Pei Weixue had drunk alcohol today and had turned into wine-smelling cedar, it still attracted him.

His steps, his body, had always longed for Pei Weixue's touch. How could he believe that at the age of 26, he no longer loved Pei Weixue? It was simply a fantasy.

Maybe he couldn't guarantee the future in matters of the heart, but at least, before and now, he had to be with Pei Weixue.

"Look. You're the other half listed on my marriage certificate, how could you be a mistress?" Su Yin swore, "You're the only model I want. You're my only muse. I'm embarrassed to even talk about myself."

He started mumbling, "I can't believe I drew that messy design in the studio. It's outrageous. The color scheme isn't mine at all. If I were like that, I wouldn't be able to make your color palette."

Pei Weixue's expression softened noticeably when she saw him like this, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "So?"

"So I won't look for him. By the way." Su Yin unzipped his backpack and showed it to Pei Weixue. "I just went to get all my design drawings back. I'm so stupid. Why would I be a ghostwriter for someone else?"

Pei Weixue caught the key words, "Did you go to He's to get the design drawings just now?" Aren't you looking for He Nan?

Su Yin nodded repeatedly, "Of course. It's mine after all. I can sell it as scrap for ten cents." He really valued this ten cent and felt the pain of being in debt.

"good."

Eh? Su Yin found that he seemed to have heard some extraordinary response. He looked at Pei Weixue's expression, which was very peaceful. He couldn't help but gently pull the corner of Pei Weixue's clothes, tilted his head, and asked softly: "You said 'OK', right?"

Pei Weixue seemed a little annoyed and pushed him away.

"I heard it! You promised to continue being my model!" Excited, Su Yin took Pei Weixue's hand and pulled him back to the opposite room, unlocked the face unlock, walked in, and pressed Pei Weixue on the sofa in one go.

Pei Weixue was unable to react. He was a little slow in his movements due to drinking too much, and his reaction was also a beat slower than usual. He turned to look at Su Yin who had walked into the kitchen, picked up the backpack that was casually thrown beside him, and looked at all the design drawings one by one.

The dimensions on the drawings are all the same, so it’s not his, it can only be He Nan’s.

Coming out of the kitchen with hot soup, "Xue'er." Su Yin looked up and saw that the living room was empty. The smile in his eyes gradually dimmed, "Xue'er!" No way, he just brought her back, why did she leave again?

There was only a stack of design drafts scattered on the coffee table.

He had no choice but to pour the soup back into the pot to keep it warm. He sat on the sofa, his shoulders slumped, his chest heavy, stuffy and uncomfortable.

I thought I would finish cooking the soup first and then measure the measurements, or measure them tomorrow. At least I could leave Pei Weixue here to sleep today, but the result was the same.

But he could still comfort himself that there was something to gain, and Pei Weixue would not go back on his word.

He still needs to figure out how many bad things he has done as soon as possible, otherwise he won't know how many bad things he has done as they keep coming one after another.

Not all mistakes can be made up for. Let's first see if he really cheated. I'm afraid I really need to go to He Nan and ask him face to face.

But He Nan was a ticking time bomb for him, and the fact that he was 'haunting He Nan' was also a thorn in Pei Weixue's side. A big lump.

He said he didn't do it, but no one believed him. So figuring out what happened became an urgent matter, but there was no way to start.

It seems that only seeing a ghost can explain it.

The next day.

Su Yin carried vegetables and knocked on his mother's door. He didn't know where Pei Weixue's studio was, so he had to ask his mother.

Click.

"What are you doing?" Su Qingyue was still very unhappy with him. Yesterday, when she saw Pei Weixue coming back with a look of loss on his face, she was sure that it was this bastard son's doing again.

"Mom, where is Xue'er's studio address? Please tell me."

Su Qingyue: "Why are you pretending?" Not long ago, Su Yincai went to Pei Weixue's studio and yelled at him, saying that Pei Weixue was pestering him and would not divorce him.

Everyone on the entire office floor laughed at the joke.

"I...I really forgot. I'm not pretending to have amnesia." Su Yin's heart tightened. Oh no, looking at her mother's expression, did 'he' go to Xueer's studio and cause something ridiculous?

"Find it yourself." Su Qingyue snorted, took the vegetables from Su Yin's hand, and slammed the door shut.

Su Yin: “…” What a sin.

Suddenly I didn’t dare to bring lunch to Xueer anymore.

The assistant who came to his house to deliver documents last time looked at him strangely.

No. He hadn't measured her measurements yet. Clothes are made quickly, and it will be ready in no time once she gets the size. Pei Weixue must be eating boxed lunches every day.

As the saying goes, to capture your partner's heart, you must first capture their stomach. He had never used this trick before to catch Pei Weixue.

Why not use it now? Who knows, it might work wonders?

When he returned home and came to the kitchen, he remembered that his mother had taken all the vegetables. No, the vegetables he had left with his grocery money were gone. This time, his pockets were cleaner than his face.

There is a poem called "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" in ancient times, which said that the late emperor died before he could complete his career.

There is a "Chef's List" now, in which Su Yin ran out of ingredients before he was halfway through cooking.

I burst into tears as I wrote this letter.

He burst into tears as he looked at the empty refrigerator.

Fortunately, he had the habit of saving change before. He ran back to his room and searched through all the drawers for a piggy bank. Finally, he found the snowman piggy bank under the folded quilts in the closet.

He picked it up and weighed it, but before he could feel happy, he hurriedly untied the lock on the snowman's butt and fell down for a long time.

Clang~

Only one coin fell out.

Su Yin picked up the coin in despair, "It's still a dime!" Oh my God.

I continued to search the second piggy bank and found it under another quilt. This one was even emptier, without even a dime in it.

He had clearly saved up a whole jar and a half, which contained not only coins but also some old banknotes, wrinkled banknotes, and the New Year's money he and Pei Weixue had exchanged.

At least more than five thousand yuan.

"One dime." Su Yin's voice trembled, and he laughed helplessly, "Hahahaha, one dime."

Now the first thing he had to think about was where to dig a treasure chest.
