Upon hearing this, Jing Pei raised an eyebrow and asked Hong Baobao, "Why can't we go out?"
Hong Baobao sighed and said, "It's because I've been sleeping for too long these past few days. My mom was worried about me, so she made me stay at home for the next few days."
"Okay, I'll come and check on you every morning and evening." Jing Pei said, reaching out to ruffle Hong Baobao's hair again. He'd recently taken a liking to ruffling Hong Baobao's hair; it felt so soft and comfortable to touch.
At first, Hong Baobao would try to avoid Jing Pei touching her hair, but now, because Jing Pei touches her hair so often, she has gotten used to it.
Jing Pei sat on the edge of the bed, and Hong Baobao simply leaned into his arms.
Jing Pei had never expected Hong Baobao to suddenly lean against him; it would be a lie to say he wasn't surprised.
Hong Baobao leaned against Jing Pei's chest, and the two of them talked for quite a while. An hour passed, and Jing Pei felt that it was about time, so he prepared to leave.
He looked down at Hong Baobao in his arms, feeling a real reluctance to leave her like this.
But there's no way he can stay here forever, can he?
He felt that if he stayed in Hong Baobao's room without going out, it wouldn't be long before Shen Ke came in.
Even though he was reluctant, Jing Pei knew that he had to leave now.
"Baby, I have to go." Jing Pei looked down at the top of Hong Baobao's head and said.
Hong Baobao gave a muffled "hmm," then stepped out of Jing Pei's arms and said, "Okay, I'll see you out."
Hong Baobao did not try to stop Jing Pei from staying.
She and Jing Pei opened the door, and as soon as they stepped outside, they saw Shen Ke standing outside, about to knock.
Upon seeing Shen Ke, Jing Pei and Hong Baobao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
Shen Ke had raised his hand as if to knock on the door, but after seeing Hong Baobao and Jing Pei come out, he calmly lowered his hand and said to Jing Pei, "Are you leaving?"
Jing Pei hummed in agreement, and then he heard Shen Ke say, "Baby, go inside and rest. I'll take Xiao Jing out."
After Shen Ke finished speaking, he went downstairs first.
Hong Baobao originally wanted to go down with Jing Pei, but in the end, Jing Pei stopped her.
Jing Pei gave Hong Baobao a look, and although Hong Baobao felt quite helpless, she still went inside.
Jing Pei, on the other hand, went downstairs.
Jing Pei had never been afraid of anyone before, but when facing Shen Ke, he was somewhat afraid.
As for why he was afraid of Jing Pei, he couldn't quite put his finger on it for a moment.
After Jing Pei returned home, he received a message from Hong Baobao asking him about it.
After replying to Hong Baobao, Jing Pei went to take a shower.
Hong Baobao lay in bed, looking at Jing Pei's reply to her message, and she couldn't help but think back to the beginning when she first met Jing Pei.
Looking back now, Jing Pei from that time is quite different from Jing Pei now.
You should know that Jingpei was very stingy back then, and he also loved money a lot.
However, nowadays, although she still loves money, at least she's not as stingy as she used to be, which Hong Baobao thinks is great.
