"My legs are my own, they'll come right away."

"Are you crazy?! If you keep this up, I'll tell Pei! No! I'll call the police! I'll report you for harassment!"

"Little Ziqi, you talk like a little kid." Pei Qing was inexplicably pleased to see him get angry. His arms were tired from carrying the flowers, so he handed them to the boy again, but Ziqi pushed them away.

Pei Qing: "Take this and I won't look for you again tomorrow."

Students are looking forward to a meal.

Pei Qing: "I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Pei Qing: "But if you don't accept it, I'll not only come looking for you tomorrow, I'll come every afternoon and evening."

Having truly had enough of Pei Qing's harassment, she hesitated for a moment before asking the man for confirmation: "Really?"

Pei Qing: "I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Student Qi: "Okay."

Reach out to catch the flowers.

Pei Qing handed it over, smiling broadly.

He's the kind of guy who's both roguish and handsome, and his smile is absolutely dazzling.

Unfortunately, Xue Ziqi was indeed a straight man, and because he had been annoyed enough, his impression of Pei Qing was extremely low.

"Goodbye, little Ziqi."

Students are disgusting, those gay guys!

Once the person was out of sight, I threw the flowers in the trash can. Although I felt it was a waste, these flowers were given to me by that gay guy, and keeping them would give me hemorrhoids!

Pei Qing did not come the next day.

After class at noon, I went to the hospital. Good news! My aunt's condition has improved, and she can be transferred out of the ICU after two more days of observation.

At noon, he saw his cousin and classmate Pei.

Nan Yu was bundled up tightly, following behind Pei Ji like a timid young wife. Xue Ziqi didn't know what to say, feeling awkward about speaking up, but their behavior was quite obvious.

His dad is careless and doesn't care much.

But he's very perceptive.

He only caught a glimpse of his mother glancing at them several times, her brows slightly furrowed. No one believed her if she said she wasn't thinking anything.

She looked down and texted Pei Ji, "I suspect even my mom is starting to suspect you guys."

Pei Ji didn't even look at his phone. Xue Ziqi walked up to him, greeted him with a smile, and with his back to his parents, gestured for him to look at his phone.

With the blind spot gone, he noticed that Nan Yu was wearing a ring on her left middle finger and looked at Pei Ji in surprise.

Pei Ji glanced at him, looked at his phone, but only glanced at it briefly, showing no intention of replying.

Nan Yu couldn't stay any longer due to health reasons.

After they left, the mother said she was taking the two children out for dinner.

To prevent Nan Lili from hearing things she shouldn't hear.

Go to the cafeteria and let the little girl have a meal.

She then pulled her son aside.

Q: "Xiaoqi, tell Mom the truth, what is the relationship between your brother and that boy?"

Even with some mental preparation, being asked directly by the student sent a chill down her spine, and her expression became slightly unnatural. "What's wrong, Mom?"

Xue's mother: "Yesterday I passed by a few barbecue restaurants and went in to take a look. There were many customers, and they were all very busy. They were covered in oil. Last time, that boy said your brother can't see too many people, or he will be stressed. Running a barbecue restaurant can earn tens of thousands a month, so he must be busy every day. But your brother doesn't smell of oil. He has fair skin and doesn't look like someone who does manual labor."

Unsure of his mother's attitude, Xue Ziqi could only temporarily speak up for his cousin, saying, "Can they go out without taking a shower? They don't have to see guests in the kitchen."

The mother didn't want to make wild guesses.

After all, my nephew has already had a tough time.

Even if she had her doubts, she had no choice but to put aside them and believe what the student said.

"I hope so. Go keep an eye on your little sister. I'll bring some for your dad, so I won't eat with you guys."

"good."

Nan Lili is very well-behaved. When the school term begins, she obediently calls out, "Brother."

The boy patted the girl's head and smiled, "Eat up."

Compared to Nan Yu, Xue Ziqi is more like the little girl's older brother, especially in the past year or so, Nan Lili has not seen her brother and has begun to feel a sense of estrangement.

Nan Yu is socially anxious and gets nervous around everyone.

Nan Lili wasn't very close to him, and Dengxin was also resistant.

Nan's mother's condition improved day by day, and on the fourth day she was transferred to a VIP ward. The better the ward was, the more anxious Auntie became. She took the time to ask the nurse how much a ward cost per day.

Twenty thousand.

She used to earn just over three thousand a month, but after taking care of Nan Lili, she switched to an easier job that paid a little over two thousand a month. One night's hospital bill was equivalent to ten months' worth of her salary...

Auntie simply couldn't imagine how Nanyu made money.

Even with medical insurance reimbursement.

Staying for a few days will cost quite a bit of money.

When Nan's mother woke up, she was first grateful to her younger brother and sister-in-law. After looking around and not seeing her son, her expression became somewhat strange.

The uncle quickly explained, "Sister, Xiaoyu is so busy. You have no idea how busy this child is now. We didn't worry about your hospital fees and even found you a good doctor."

When Nan's mother heard what her uncle said, her expression seemed to darken even more.

He moved his lips, but said nothing.

Xue Ziqi sent Pei Ji a message saying that his aunt had woken up.

Pei Ji replied: It will be over in a while.

Nan Yu changed her clothes and shoes and went to the hospital with Pei Ji.

They lived not far from the hospital and arrived quickly. Aunt took Nan Lili back home. Her mother was alright, so the little girl naturally wanted to go back to school.

Before Nan Yu arrived, Nan's mother had a very good chat with her uncle and aunt.

As soon as he arrived, the smile on Nan's mother's face vanished.

The students were terrified.

As the only one who knows the 'true situation' of his cousin, every move his parents and aunt make will elicit a significant reaction from him.

Nan's mother's eyes fell on Pei Ji, and she asked in a neutral voice, "And who is this?"

Pei Ji: "My surname is Aunt Pei, you can call me Xiao Pei."

The uncle laughed: "Sister, it's all thanks to this young man's extensive connections that he got you to a big hospital. You recovered in just a few days. And he's even Xiaoyu's boss."

Nan's mother smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Is that so, boss?"

Nan Yu felt that her mother was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

nod.

He didn't want to be exposed to the crowd. In just a few minutes, his legs were almost giving way, and he subconsciously moved behind Pei Ji for safety.

"Xiaoyu, Mom wants to talk to you alone."

Pei Ji's eyes narrowed, and he instantly became alert.

She offered, "I'll stay too, Auntie."

Seeing this, the aunt pulled her niece and husband along, and also called her son out. She closed the ward door, and for a moment, the room was eerily quiet.

"Mom disagrees."

Nanmu said.

Nan Yu looked up, then quickly looked down again.

Seeing that the two of them were standing close together, Nan's mother seemed unwilling to look at them anymore, turned her head to the side, and repeated, "Mom doesn't agree."

Did you hear me?

"What do you disagree with?" Pei Jiming asked knowingly.

"I don't approve of you two being together!" Mother Nan's voice was much louder as she spoke, her eyes falling back on the two of them, a calm anger in her gaze.

Pei Ji: "We're not together. Who told you that?"

Nan's mother frowned, "Not together?"

Nan Yu subconsciously grabbed Pei Ji's lower back, looked up, and looked like she was about to cry. The young man reached behind his back and squeezed his wife's wrist where Nan's mother couldn't see, before quickly letting go.
