Pei Ji has been cold-hearted since childhood.

It seems that neither feeling love nor loving others is possible.

He didn't experience the restlessness of adolescence.

I absolutely avoid girls, especially those with ulterior motives.

The kind of person who makes you feel physically nauseous just by seeing them.

Perhaps because they've never been interested in something before, once they become interested in it, they'll act like a pervert, constantly thinking about invading the other person's life.

My phone vibrated.

He interrupted Pei Ji's increasingly dangerous thoughts.

It was Pei Qing calling.

Pei Ji answered the call and saw his cousin with two women on either side of him in a dark and noisy background. "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Pei Qing moved his left arm, signaling the girl who was serving drinks to close the door to reduce noise so he could hear what his younger brother was saying, and then let go of the girl.

Holding his phone in his right hand and a glass in his left, he took a sip of red wine before asking, "How should I thank you, brother? It's easy."

As he spoke, he gestured, almost spilling the unfinished red wine in his glass.

With a simple assist, they easily sent the person in.

Pei Ji sneered: "I'm being kind by not asking you for compensation for emotional distress! Luckily my brother is alright, otherwise you wouldn't be having an easy time either!"

Pei Qing: ? ? ?

"Damn it! You're biting the hand that feeds you! I was just doing you a favor!"

"Did I ask you to find so many people? No wonder your brother says you're unreliable! Useless!" He hung up after saying that.

Pei Qing was so angry that her face turned red.

He even helped him with the personal attacks! What a jerk!

He couldn't drink the wine that was being fed to his lips, pushed it away, spilling it all over his trouser leg, and got even angrier, kicking the coffee table next to him hard.

He cursed, "You ungrateful wretch!"

"Worse than a dog!"

And then...

The Pei Ji he spoke of had been reduced to an inanimate object by his insults.

Pei Ji found a guest room to rest.

The next morning, I cooked breakfast for Nanyu. Around 7 a.m., I prepared it and sent a message.

hAxYG: Little Jade, are you awake?

hAxYG: Do you want to come down to eat, or should I bring it up to you?

hAxYG: Today we have pan-fried soup dumplings, shrimp and vegetable congee, and the egg tarts and watermelon chunks you mentioned you wanted the day before yesterday.

Pei Ji added the watermelon himself.

I used two watermelons, and only cut the middle part for Nanyu.

It was even specially chilled.

After washing up, Nan Yu picked up her phone and sent a message: "Thank you. Put it on the second floor. I put a small table up there."

hAxYG: Okay

hAxYG: I'll send it up now.

Nan Yu: Thank you

hAxYG: Brother Xiaoyu, why are you always so polite to me? We've already transferred the money, it's only right.

Nan Yu: ^_^

Pei Ji's heart was melting. He longed to see Xiao Yu, hug him, kiss him, and possess him. The more he thought about it, the more frantic he became, and his eyes revealed a fierce determination.

The tray was placed in the designated spot. Pei Ji went downstairs to pack up and go home. Pei Qing hadn't returned home all night and wasn't here today.

Pei's mother also sent him several messages last night.

I was relieved to know that my son's forehead injury had been treated at the hospital; otherwise, I would have worried about it all night.

When Pei's mother saw the gauze on his forehead, she was both angry and heartbroken. She was angry that he didn't take care of himself, and heartbroken that a piece of flesh that had fallen from her own body was injured.

"Mom," Pei Ji called out.

Pei's mother: "How is it?"

Pei Ji: "It's alright. I'll stay at Xiao Yu's place for now. I'll come back to get a couple of clothes."

Mrs. Pei: "How far has it progressed?"

Pei Ji: "He hugged me."

It wasn't a real hug yet. He was scared by Pei Qing and his men, which gave him the chance to hug Xiao Yu. The feeling of holding Xiao Yu in his arms was so captivating that he dreamed of kissing her last night.

Before I could do anything, my biological clock kicked in.

Pei's mother was somewhat surprised, seeing how eager her son was to move in. Also, she understood that most people of the same sex would feel love for each other upon their first meeting.

Pei Ji was also in his prime, full of youthful vigor.

Unexpectedly, my son chose the path of pure love.

Just a hug?

A simple hug after a head smack?

Mrs. Pei covered her forehead, too embarrassed to ask any more questions, and only instructed, "Don't play things you shouldn't play, or you'll bring your mother home covered in flowers."

Pei Ji: "Both Xiaoyu and I are clean."

Mrs. Pei: "..."

Pei Ji dragged a suitcase, preparing to return to the apartment next door, when his mother stopped him and asked, "Are you coming back?"

Pei Ji: "Mm."

Pei's mother: "How often do you come back?"

Pei Ji: "I don't know."

Pei's mother: "Is that child's sexual orientation the same as yours?"

Pei Ji: "Same."

Even if they are different, he will say they are the same.

Even if someone is completely straight, absolutely straight, and can't accept men in this lifetime, he still won't let them come into contact with women.

Pei's mother: "I worry about you all the time."

Pei Ji: "Don't worry about it, Mom's leaving."

Pei's mother watched her son go next door, shaking her head helplessly.

Nan Yu was feeding the golden turtle on the second floor. The system wanted to cry. The host had started to pout and was no longer the mechanical cat owner who used to feed the turtle.

Small progress, big leap forward.

t^t

【Jade】

The golden tortoise pawed at Nan Yu's feet, blew a breath, and slowly floated in the air, looking at its human who was cutting fish for it with a happy expression.

Slice it thinly.

I like to eat fish maw.

Nan Yu sliced ​​the fish and placed it on the turtle's special plate, which the golden turtle ate with great relish.

I'm not hungry even though I don't eat.

But the system still wants to enjoy human food.

After preparing the food for the golden turtle, Nan Yu went to the kitchen on the second floor to wash her hands before coming up the stairs. Pei Ji had arranged the food beautifully, making it look, smell, and taste delicious.

Every time Nan Yu sees food, she admires Pei Ji greatly.

I think he's amazing.

They can make ordinary ingredients look beautiful and taste delicious.

It was taken to the small living and dining area on the second floor, and I ate it bite by bite, feeling extremely satisfied.

Three meals a day were served on time, and everything was available on the second floor, so Nan Yu never came downstairs.

August.

It is the height of summer.

hAxYG: Brother Xiaoyu, I made plans to play ball with some classmates this afternoon.

The two exchange messages very frequently every day.

Nan Yu was also used to having Pei Ji around.

I'm used to the other person sending me messages every day.

They get used to being fed delicious food by their partner every day.

I'm used to the other person calling me "Brother Xiaoyu" all the time.

Ever since Pei Ji moved in, Nan Yu had assumed he was downstairs and, like her, never left the house. Now, receiving news that he was going out to play ball, she felt inexplicably down.

I don't know why.

In short, I don't really want Pei Ji to interact with other people.

Nan Yu felt that her thoughts were very selfish.

Even typing sounds muffled: Oh

Nan Yu: Are you eating out tonight?

hAxYG: He's not here, but he'll come back and cook for you.

Nan Yu: Mm

After talking to Pei Ji for a while, Nan Yu started to consider other people's feelings. She felt that she might be showing her emotions too obviously, so she typed some additional information to feign concern.

Nan Yu: It's okay if you don't come back.

Nan Yu: Have fun with your classmates

hAxYG: I told them it would only be until 4 o'clock.

hAxYG: My brother gave me money for food and let me stay at his place, so I have to cook.

Nan Yu: I can cook for myself.
