Chapter 27 Vicious "You're still alive? Damn!"...

This gentle call seemed to have a bewitching magic, and Xie Yushu felt as if his heart was gradually melting into soft water. He stood there in a daze, his eyes blurred, and he could not tell what he was really thinking.

Reason told him that he should avoid it. But his body seemed to be occupied by a strong and unknown emotion, and he didn't want to "obey" obediently.

Until his lips touched something warm and soft, and an electric current ran through his body.

Xie Yushu's breathing froze in an instant, and a tingling feeling of strangeness surged from the bottom of his heart, jumped up his spine, and spread to every part of his limbs.

This strange feeling frightened him so much that he subconsciously took a few steps back, raised his hand, and gently placed his fingertips on his lips. The soft touch seemed to still remain there.

He stared at Pei Yixue, his eyes full of shock and helplessness.

His blank brain then began to replay the scene of Pei Yixue's lips pressing against his. The temperature of the air around him suddenly rose, burning his face.

"Ashu... I'm sorry, I..." Pei Yixue's voice trembled slightly. Behind the gentle voice, the ferocious beast hidden was ready to tear off the hypocritical mask, but was forcibly suppressed by him.

Now is not the right time, it will scare people away.

"Sorry, I overstepped my bounds." Pei Yixue said again.

Their eyes met in the air, Pei Yixue's eyes were red with emotion, and her eyes were filled with guilt and sadness. Xie Yushu had been fooled by this weak and pitiful look before, and now he was subconsciously soft-hearted again.

Realizing this, Xie Yushu immediately turned around and walked away quickly.

Otherwise he was afraid that he would make another irrational choice.

"Ashu." Pei Yixue called anxiously from behind. Xie Yushu paused suddenly, but he did not look back and did not stop.

"...Are you angry with me?" Pei Yixue's voice floated weakly, with a hint of sadness and uncertainty.

"No." Xie Yushu tried to make his voice sound calm, but his pace became faster.

Thousands of thoughts were swirling in his mind, and reason and emotion were in fierce conflict. On the one hand, he knew very well that this could not go on between him and Pei Yixue, but on the other hand, he could not resist the alluring warmth and closeness from Pei Yixue.

The path he chose was destined to keep him and Pei Yixue at just friendship.

He had always been clear about this, but every time Pei Yixue tried, it was like a tide, impacting his rational defenses again and again, making him waver.

The more he thought about it, the faster his steps became, almost running. After turning several turns, he didn't know which alley he was in. He stopped and tried to calm himself down.

But the peace didn't last long. Behind me, light footsteps approached.

"Don't come over." Xie Yushu froze in place, not daring to move. He held his breath and carefully listened to the movements of the people behind him.

"...Okay, I won't go over, but Ah Shu...can you please not be angry with me?" Pei Yixue's voice was weak, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard continuously.

Xie Yushu's heart tightened. His steps just now seemed to be very hurried and fast. With Pei Yixue's sickly body, he would probably be at a disadvantage if he followed him.

Thinking of this, he could not help but turn his head back, and saw Pei Yixue holding the wall with one hand and covering his chest with the other, his face was pale, and the whole person stood there shaky, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Xie Yushu raised his foot to rush over, but held back. He looked at the person anxiously and asked, "Can you... go back by yourself?"

He originally just wanted to ask whether Pei Yixue still had the strength to go back by himself and whether he could return safely by himself.

But Pei Yixue seemed to understand that he was trying to drive her away. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she looked at him deeply with her red and watery eyes.

After a light "hmm", Pei Yixue turned around dejectedly and moved back in small steps. His steps were difficult and heavy, and he had to stop to rest every two steps.

This scene made Xie Yushu feel guilty and ashamed.

He quickly walked over to help the man. Pei Yixue seemed to have reached the limit of her body's endurance. She collapsed into his arms and said weakly, "Ah Shu...are you going to ignore me from now on?"

This voice seemed to be mixed with endless sadness, and then it turned into a big hand that suddenly grabbed Xie Yushu's heart.

"No, I don't want to pay attention to you." He denied hurriedly, trying to comfort the resident.

"Then Ah Shu, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

When this was mentioned, Xie Yushu's mind flashed back to the scene of the two kissing, and his cheeks became hot again. "You... Let's just pretend that nothing happened. I'll take you back."

As he said that, he picked up Pei Yixue and quickly walked towards the bedroom.

Pei Yixue nestled in someone's arms, curling up the corners of his lips where Xie Yushu couldn't see. He leaned his head on Xie Yushu's shoulder and whispered, "Ah Shu."

Xie Yushu's body suddenly stiffened, as if he was allergic to his voice. For a moment, he suspected that he was a hot potato that Xie Yushu wanted to throw away.

"Don't make any noise for now." After Xie Yushu finished his instructions, he quickened his pace.

Pei Yixue was silent for a while, "I don't have any other intentions, I just want Ah Shu to agree to one thing for me."

After listening to him, Xie Yushu did not answer. He seemed to shut up and stopped talking.

The air fell into silence, with the faint sounds of the two people's breathing and heartbeats.

Xie Yushu finally asked reluctantly, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yixue sighed secretly, thinking that his Ah Shu was too soft-hearted after all.

He raised his hand and gently grabbed Xie Yushu's robe on his chest, hoping, "If Ah Shu wants to marry, can you wait until I die? Otherwise, I will feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable."

Pei Yixue's words were like a huge rock, weighing heavily on Xie Yushu's heart. The feelings in his heart were complicated and inexplicable, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned.

"There will be a cure for your illness, don't think too much about it."

"But, so many famous doctors can't help." Pei Yixue said weakly.

"Each famous doctor has different expertise. We just haven't found the one who can cure your disease yet. We will find it soon."

"Yes, but I'm not talking about finding a doctor now." Pei Yixue said sadly, "I know my body. Ah Shu may promise me that he can marry and have children after I die? There should be no need to wait for a few more years."

After another silence, Xie Yushu said, "I agree."

Hearing this, Pei Yixue couldn't help but be ecstatic, but he quickly suppressed his joy and continued to ask in a pitiful tone: "Then, if I accidentally live a few more years, will what Ah Shu said still count?"

"As long as you live, I will not marry."

Pei Yixue smiled brightly and said, "Ashu, I will definitely strive to live another hundred or eighty years."

Seeing Pei Yixue start to tease again, Xie Yushu suddenly felt powerless. He couldn't hit or scold her. If he said something that didn't go his way, she would get angry and sick. What could he do? He could only coax her in a gentle manner.

Fortunately, the bedroom was not far ahead.

After arriving at the destination, Xie Yushu put the person on the bed and ran away with the excuse of going to find a doctor.

The day after tomorrow, Pei Yixue would go to the provincial capital as a miracle doctor. He and Xie Yushu could not stay in Songwu Mountain for too long, so they took a carriage back to Daohua Village in the afternoon.

The carriage swayed slowly and arrived at the Wang family's ancestral home before dark.

But they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived, the Xie family followed them in a mighty force.

Xie Yushu was shocked. He didn't know why they suddenly appeared here, nor did he know how to deal with it next.

"You kid, we finally met again after the disaster, but you left without saying a word." Second uncle said unhappily, "Now that you're rich, you don't want to recognize us poor relatives, right?"

"What are you talking about, second brother? Yushu would never be such a person." The eldest aunt continued, "Blood is thicker than water. In this world, no matter how rich you are, it is not as good as having your own relatives by your side. Yushu can tell the difference."

Li stood aside, watching all this with a confused look on her face. She didn't understand why a group of strangers suddenly came.

Grandmother Xie looked at the group of people with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were full of excitement and disbelief. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the long-lost relative, "Big brother, second brother?"

"Mother?!" the second uncle exclaimed, and the other members of the Xie family were equally incredulous.

"You're still alive? Mom!"

Then the Xie family staged a family recognition drama.

Xie Yushu had never told Pei Yixue why he disliked these relatives. Pei Yixue thought that something unpleasant had happened between this group of people and Xie Yushu and his grandmother. Otherwise, why would Xie Yushu and his grandmother be stranded alone?

From the current scene, it seems that there is just some unhappiness between Xie Yushu and the Xie family.

At the scene of this group of people recognizing their relatives, Xie Yushu was standing alone at the side, looking a little out of place, as if he was an outsider.

The Xie family is a group of people who are in collusion with each other, and Xie's grandmother is a soft-hearted person. She can't make up her mind on anything and often believes whatever others say.

I knew that Xie Yushu must have suffered a lot in the past, because in such a family, the kind and honest one would always be the one who gave in and compromised, and became the victim of family harmony.

"Ashu, I'm still here." Pei Yixue approached quietly, looking at the Xie family over there, and said, "I hate him, him, him, and the two of them together with you."

Listening to him, Xie Yushu finally pulled himself out of that situation, turned his head and looked at him, apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know they would follow."

"Why is Ah Shu apologizing to me?" Pei Yixue joked, "If Ah Shu is happy, let alone asking them to follow me, I would be willing even if Ah Shu drove me to the woodshed to make room for them."

"I..." Xie Yushu was stunned, "Why would I send you to the woodshed?"

Pei Yixue curled the corners of her mouth, "Well, I know, Ah Shu treats me the best."

Meeting Pei Yixue's firm and tender eyes, Xie Yushu quickly looked away.

During this year of getting along, Pei Yixue never used any drastic measures against him, but instead invaded his heart little by little, eroded his emotions, and made him almost completely trapped without realizing it, unable to extricate himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yushu expressed his true thoughts: "I actually don't want to see them, and I don't want them to meet my grandmother." He paused and asked Pei Yixue: "Is it very vicious?"

Since he was a child, Xie's grandmother taught him not to care about things. Over time, Xie Yushu began to doubt himself unconsciously, wondering if he was too narrow-minded.

Pei Yixue did not answer immediately, but instead held his clenched fist.

Staring into his eyes, Pei Yixue said gently, "It's not poisonous." The voice was as gentle as ever, but it seemed full of power. "Not only is it not poisonous, but anyone who comes here will have to say it's not enough."

Pei Yixue glanced at the Xie family and continued, "When facing people or things you hate, you should at least treat them the way they treat you."
