In his previous life, after Tan Baiwei died, he guarded her body for three days...
After being brought back to the Pei family by Pei Yuzhi, he still hadn't recovered from the news of his mother's death, like a frightened little deer.
So even though he has never seen his father, he will still subconsciously rely on his only relative.
He thought his father came to pick him up because he liked him.
But on the day he returned to the Pei family, the man who looked 80% like him sneered and said to him, "You're so lucky... If I didn't need an heir, do you think I would be willing to take you back?"
"Just stick to your job and go away. I don't have time to take care of you!"
For fear of being abandoned, he didn't dare to make Pei Yuzhi angry and could only nod timidly.
Sleeping on the big bed that he had never dared to even imagine, Pei Du felt empty inside.
In the middle of the night, she ran to the backyard and cried with the patched bear she had sewn on her.
It was at that time that he met Pei Lianxi.
With fair skin and blood-red eyes, the boy in front of him was so beautiful that he didn't even look like an ordinary person.
He was stunned... and let Pei Lianxi pull him up from the ground.
Pei Lianxi asked him, "Why are you crying here?"
He hugged the bear, his eyes red and a little bewildered, but he still subconsciously replied in a mosquito-like voice: "The house is not soundproof, crying will disturb Mom."
Pei Lianxi was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and rubbed his head with a gentle expression: "You can't cry here. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer. It would not look good if they bit our A'Du and left a bump on his face."
"Let's go to my brother."
"Brother will let the fish in the house perform a backflip for you~" The boy's eyes were curved like a bright moon hanging in the sky.
No one had ever been so gentle to him. He was stunned for a moment and followed Pei Lianxi to the house in his yard.
Um.
He didn't see the fish that could do backflips, but Pei Lianxi pushed him onto the bed, patted him like a child, and coaxed him to sing for an hour... Hulu! Lu! Wa!!
Most importantly, Pei Lianxi's singing was out of tune!!!
The gourd baby's magic voice was so loud that it pierced the ears. Fortunately, Pei Du was not picky.
Because he had never watched the cartoon, although he thought the tune was a bit strange, he still enjoyed listening to it.
From then on, he began to feel close to his brother Pei Lianxi.
Pei Lianxi was also very nice to him. Every time Pei Yuzhi said something bullshit to him, Pei Lianxi would help him fight back and comfort him.
Whenever I encounter something I don’t know, he will help explain it.
Ironically, that period was the happiest time in his previous life and this life.
But this period of time did not last.
That day...
After school, he returned to Pei's house with two pieces of fruit candy given by his teacher. The first thing he did was to go to the backyard to find Pei Lianxi, wanting to share the candy with him.
But...what is the result?
The servants coming and going in the villa had stern expressions.
The heavy atmosphere made him feel uneasy.
He ran to the backyard with his schoolbag on his back.
The boy who was waving his hand and saying "be careful on the road" with a smile in the morning was now lying quietly on the bed, like a sleeping angel.
Beside the bed, Pei Yuzhi, who never went home, had a gloomy face and a strange expression.
There was a buzzing in his ears. He walked forward and, with trembling hands, stuffed the candy into Pei Lianxi's already cold palm: "Brother, have some candy..."
"Adu? Adu?" A familiar voice called from beside him.
Pei Du's thoughts returned, and he lowered his eyes and shook his head: "There's nothing fun to do during the ten minutes between classes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pale-faced young man sitting in the wheelchair felt his heart sink and clenched his hands, but in the end he couldn't help it.
With a smile and a hint of worry, he asked the question that had been on his mind for the past two days: "Adu, you haven't been to school these two days. Is it because someone in school bullied you?"
Pei Du shook his head and denied it decisively: "No, no one bullied me."
But Pei Lianxi didn't quite believe it. He sighed, and the pale-faced boy's eyebrows were filled with deep worry: "Adu, you are not a cheerful person. You always like to keep things in your heart."
"Ever since I came to the Pei family, I've noticed that you're indifferent to people and things, unlike a child of your age."
After a pause, he added with some distress in his eyes: "You had a fever the night you came back. When I went to see you, I found shallow marks and old wounds on your arms, and you were still mumbling "Mom..."
“I know you must have suffered a lot of grievances, so you are unwilling to trust others, and the entire Pei family is closer to me.”
"That's why you don't have to be afraid. Tell me if you have anything to say. Since you trust me, I don't want you to be bullied. A'Du, do you understand?"
Such worried words are just like in the previous life.
The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and the eight-year-old boy lowered his eyes, as if carrying the grievances and reluctance of his previous life. His voice, as clear as spring water, choked: "I had a dream... In the dream, you died."
The young man in the wheelchair was startled when he heard this, but he was not angry. He pulled Pei Du over and stroked his hand, which was skinny due to long-term illness, across his cheek. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the boy's eyes and spoke slowly.
The boy asked with an apologetic look on his face, "Did my death look so ugly that it scared you?"
Just like in his previous life, he always seemed so gentle...always caring about others...
The little boy felt a lump in his throat and shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
I know that the only separation Pei Du has ever experienced was due to the death of his mother.
