Pei Ji gasped.

He had never been hit by his father's stick.

This is the first time.

After hitting him a few times, Pei's father also felt a little reluctant to continue.

Even his wife, who is always protective of her son, didn't come to stop them.

Being held back, stopping would be a loss of face, so I had no choice but to keep fighting.

Pei Ji felt like he was about to be whipped to death; his back was burning with pain. Just as he was feeling frustrated, he finally heard the doorbell ring outside.

Mrs. Pei simply went back to her bedroom, out of sight, out of mind.

Wang Ma went to open the door.

Upon seeing the handsome boy next door—whom she hadn't known before but now knew was the young master's crush—she became incredibly friendly, asking, "Are you looking for the young master?"

Nan Yu gripped the sides of his clothes tightly. He still felt uncomfortable being alone with strangers. He had been waiting at home for a long time but Pei Ji hadn't returned, so he was too anxious and came to check on him.

Wang Ma: "You should go back first. The young master made a mistake and is being punished by kneeling. We have to wait for the master to calm down."

Upon hearing that Pei Ji was being punished, Nan Yu immediately objected.

Shaking the iron gate, unable to speak from his discomfort, his actions expressed his urgent desire to enter. Wang Ma wanted to persuade him again, but Pei Mama said from the second-floor window, "Let him in."

Only then did Wang Ma open the door.

Before the crack had even opened wide enough, Nan Yu eagerly squeezed inside and ran toward the villa door. Her body was terrified, but her mind forgot about fear and ignored everyone else. Her mind was filled with nothing but Pei Ji.

Upon entering, he saw Pei Ji being attacked and instinctively rushed over to protect him.

Pei Ji heard footsteps; just a second ago he was lying down, ready to be beaten.

The next second, Nan Yu rolled over and actually pounced into his arms. With a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, he pressed her down and hid her, and Pei's father stopped hitting her with the stick.

Aunt Wang followed and explained, "Sir, this is our neighbor next door."

Pei Ji choked up, protecting Nan Yu tightly, "You can't hit my wife! My brother's skin is delicate, he can't take a beating like me!"

He cried, and Nan Yu cried too.

The first time I saw my son cry, did I really hit him hard?

Pei's father had some doubts.

The boy hugged Nan Yu tightly, protecting him from turning his face away. He looked at his father with red eyes; his father was very pale, and when he cried, his face would turn pink, making him look very pitiful.

His eyes, in particular, looked just like his mother's.

Pei's father stared, saying nothing.

Little Lampwick started having trouble breathing, her legs felt weak, her head was spinning, her heart ached, and she felt like she was going to faint again.

Nan Yu was afraid, but she stepped out of the safe house twice for Pei Ji's sake.

Pretty, clingy, socially awkward, clingy, cute, clingy, smart, clingy, obedient, clingy...

She's always clinging to him; one's a clingy monster, the other's a kissing monster.

Pei Ji loved him, loved him so much he would give his life for him.

He's been beaten, he's been taken out of the closet, and his wife has come to his defense.

Finish.

He carried the person and strode out.

When they got back, Pei Ji hugged his wife and cried. He even showed her the marks on his back. The thin bamboo sticks left marks everywhere. His clothes weren't torn, but his skin was covered in marks.

Many of them are swollen and look painful.

Little Lampwick's tears fell in a pattering sound; the stuff was salty, and two drops landed on the wound. Pei Ji was slightly agitated and gasped. Nan Yu, having learned from her previous injuries, went to get ice and a cloth to apply a cold compress.

Be careful with your movements.

"Why did I hit you?" she asked, her voice trembling with tears in her eyes, still tense.

"to come out of the closet."

With tears welling in her eyes, she asked, bewildered, "You crawled out through the closet?" Feeling that explanation didn't quite make sense, she added, "You were caught crawling through the dog hole?"

Pei Ji chuckled, amused.

Lying on the bed with her head turned to the side, she said, "I just like men and dating same-sex couples, but I don't like men, I just like my baby."

Nan Yu first looked down to confirm her male characteristics, then frowned, "I am."

"I have no sexual orientation, you are my sexual orientation."

Nan Yu was stunned for a while. Xiao Dengxin only moved after she had fully understood what he said. His eyes were bright and his tail was wet. He was beautiful and lively, like a living little elf.

"Would you still like me if I were a girl?"

"like."

"Half boys and half girls?"

"like."

Where is the old monster?

"like."

"You were just born, and you are unchanged."

"dislike."

Each time he asked a question, his eyes would light up a notch. He got stuck on the fourth question, and all the previous lights went out. His disappointment was palpable. Pei Ji got up and hugged him.

Laughing: "Just kidding. Like it? Even if you turn into a pile of poop, I'll turn into another pile so we can be a pair."

Nan Yu groaned, "No, I won't turn into dung. Your words are disgusting."

Pei Jihuan hugged his wife's arm tightly and laughed, "Then I won't say anything more. If my wife is to transform, she has to become a fragrant steamed bun." He then sneakily kissed her face repeatedly.

Nan Yu's face turned red from the kiss.

"Don't move, I'll put ice on it."

Pei Ji only lay down obediently after he had kissed him enough.

Looking at the irregular scars on the boy's back, Xiaodengxin felt sad and heartbroken. A rather unreliable idea also surfaced in her mind. She said, "I can go to Thailand to undergo gender reassignment surgery, and then you won't have to come out of the closet."

"No need for gender reassignment surgery, let me be a kept man, wife."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu immediately ran to her room and took out her only bank card, her eyes wide with disbelief.

[Damn it, host, stop being so love-struck! Get the card back!]

Nan Yu stared intently at the golden turtle, making the little system shudder and causing it to shrink back into its shell.

He handed the card to Pei Ji and said, "The money is all in here. Here, take it. I'll support you."

Pei Ji: "..."

Seeing that the boy refused to accept it, Nan Yu stuffed the card into Pei Ji's hand, saying, "There's a lot of money inside."

Pei Ji liked to tease him. He wasn't short of money at all. With his mother around, there was no way he would be kicked out. His wife was true love. He put the card back in, and just then his phone rang.

In the living room.

Nan Yu brought it to him.

Pei Ji frowned when he saw it was Pei Qing, and then hung up.

It rang again after only two seconds.

catch.

"What's up?"

"I heard you got beaten up?"

Pei Ji gave a faint "hmm," and said, "I'm hanging up now, no need to worry."

"What's the rush? Your hands and feet are still functional, aren't they?"

"He won't die."

"Look at you, you have no conscience, you start arguing before you've even said two words."

"You mean to talk about the auction, right?"

"Yes and no."

"I've been busy lately, so I can't go."

"Just find a client, it's very convenient."

Pei Ji was speechless. "Do you really have to make money off me?"

"What kind of talk is that? 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' There are a lot of good things at this auction. You're dating someone and you don't even buy her anything nice. By the way, how's my brother-in-law doing lately?"

"Where did this brother-in-law come from?"

Pei Qing: "That's the one I saw that day, Bo Ya and Zi Qi."

"You're crazy." He hung up after saying that.

Pei Qing called again, Pei Ji hung up, he called again, and only stopped when Pei Ji blocked him.

A few minutes later, he called again from an unknown number. Nan Yu tilted her head and stared at him, blinking her eyes. Pei Ji put his long arm around her and pulled her into his arms, saying, "It seems that Pei Qing has taken a liking to your cousin."

Pei Qing knew.

It's that bastard who bullied his brother.

She's interested in her cousin?

With a furrowed brow, he could almost trap a fly.

"No, he's not a good person."
