Chapter 222 Tell me a story

Pei Yu saw the anxious look on Cheng Jin's face, and he knew that everything he did was right.

Pei Yu pretended to sit up immediately, pretending to be in unbearable pain, and Cheng Jin really took it seriously.

So what if he used some shameful means, as long as Cheng Jin was willing to stay and see him, and willing to give him more eyes.

When Cheng Jin pushed the door open and pulled Pei Yu, who was still in his memories, out, he smiled, supported his hands and sat up, staring straight at Cheng Jin, and waved at Cheng Jin.

"Xiao Jin, come here."

Cheng Jin walked to Pei Yu's bed, and Pei Yu's voice was soft, but gentle.

"Is the room ready?"

Cheng Jin nodded and said, "It's right next to you. If you feel uncomfortable at night, just call me."

Before Pei Yu opened his mouth to answer, Cheng Jin noticed Zuo Yi beside Pei Yu. She had never seen this person since she entered Pei's house, but she saw Zuo Yi entering Pei Yu's room just now outside the door. The two must be very familiar with each other.

Pei Yu naturally trusts him since he can enter Pei Yu's room freely, but why doesn't he want him to serve by his side?

Cheng Jin tilted her head and looked at Zuo Yi with some doubts. Before she said "I haven't seen it" to test his identity, Pei Yu immediately gave Zuo Yi a look.

Zuo Yi immediately understood. He bowed to Pei Yu and said respectfully: "Sir, everything in the front yard is ready, so I'll go to rest first."

Pei Yu closed his eyes and nodded slightly, and Zuo Yi went out immediately.

Pei Yu pulled Cheng Jin and asked her to sit next to him. Perhaps he noticed something different in Cheng Jin's eyes, so he explained, "Zuo Yi is the housekeeper of the front yard. He has to report the situation to me every day. He goes to rest after the time is up. He is not responsible for things in the backyard."

Before Cheng Jin could say anything, Pei Yu made a gesture to call back Zuo Yi who had already passed by.

Cheng Jin was immediately stopped, "Forget it, he is a grown man, and he has never been involved in the backyard, how can he take care of you."

Cheng Jin lowered his head and said to himself, "You know me. Although I have learned medicine from you for two years, I have never done anything to take care of people since I was a child. If I fall asleep at night, and you want something, or you hurt somewhere, and I can't wake up, won't it be delayed?"

Pei Yu smiled and shook his head, gently gathering Cheng Jin's hair at the temples.

"No delay, as long as Xiao Jin is here, it's good."

Cheng Jin could only pretend not to understand Pei Yu's words. She didn't know if Pei Yu saw the original owner's appearance in her again.

She turned her head away and let Pei Yu lie down.

Cheng Jin pretended to be serious and said, "You are a patient now. You must listen to me and rest early so that you can get better faster."

Pei Yu did not resist and lay down according to Cheng Jin's movements. He stared at Pei Yu with a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Jin could not bear to be looked at, so he raised his hand to cover Pei Yu's eyes, "Close your eyes and sleep."

Pei Yu was in darkness, but he was not sleepy at all.

After a while, Cheng Jin saw that Pei Yu did not move anymore, so she wanted to take back her hand covering Pei Yu's face.

Pei Yu's breathing was evenly sprinkled on Cheng Jin's palm. Every part that was touched was unbearably burning. He just endured it and did not move. But his face was already red. Fortunately, it was too dark to see anything.

Pei Yu felt Cheng Jin's slight tremor on his face covered by her hand, and couldn't help laughing.

Pei Yu said, "Are you tired?"

Cheng Jin realized that Pei Yu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and quickly took her hand back.

"Of course, if you don't sleep, how can I go back to sleep?"

"You didn't do this before."

Pei Yu didn't refute anything, but instead moved his head slightly in accordance with Cheng Jin's coquettish look.

"Xiao Jin, tell me a story, and I will fall asleep soon."

Pei Yu's words pulled Cheng Jin's memory back to a long, long time ago, when Cheng Jin was not Rong Guifei, but was still Xiao Jin in the true sense, and everything seemed not so complicated.

At that time, Pei Yu was still a newcomer in the officialdom, only seven or eight years old. Pei Yu, who had never made friends in the court, would run to Cheng Mansion almost every chance he got. After a few words of conversation with Cheng Yishougao, he would talk about Cheng Jin, who was still young at the time.

Cheng Jin's personality was not popular with those young ladies in Beijing. Cheng Sheng went to practice martial arts every day and had no time to play with her. She ran from here to there in Cheng Mansion alone and had a lot of fun by herself.

Pei Yu always met Cheng Jin by coincidence and talked to her for a few more words. What happened was that every word he said was what Cheng Jin liked to hear and was interested in.

At that time, Cheng Jin didn't think so much, she just knew that she had a very special friend.

After getting familiar with each other, the roles of the two people changed. Cheng Jin's restless personality naturally made her willing to stick to Pei Yu every day and let him take her out to play.

Cheng Jin never missed the bustle of the streets in the city, the river outside the city, and every place in the capital. Almost every place in the capital was where the two of them walked together.

They almost became the people who understood each other best.

At that time, Cheng Jin loved to lie on the empty grass and take a nap. She was covered with Pei Yu's robe and cloak. Her breath was filled with Pei Yu's unique scent. The sun was shining on Cheng Jin's body, and Pei Yu was making a wreath with freshly picked wild flowers.

She said she wanted to take a nap, but she rolled from side to side but was unwilling to fall asleep. She propped herself up and acted coquettishly with Pei Yu.

"I can't sleep, tell me a story."

"I haven't heard you talk about your own story yet."

Pei Yu paused for a moment while weaving the wreath, then chuckled, "There's nothing much to say about my story, it's boring."

Cheng Jin turned over and sat up anxiously, "Who said that, everyone's experience is unique, how can it be boring?"

Pei Yu smiled and tapped Cheng Jin's forehead, and kept weaving the wreath in his hand.

He looked at Cheng Jin with sincere eyes, but he lied to Cheng Jin for the first time.

He briefly summarized his experience of the past ten years in a few words.

"I can't remember the early part. When I could remember, I was taken by my teacher to study medicine. Later, I studied to be an examiner, and then I met you."

Perhaps knowing what Cheng Jin wanted to know most, he smiled and said, "I have never seen my parents since I was born. My master said that I jumped out of a crack in a rock."

Pei Yu smiled. It was obviously a joke, but Cheng Jin was inexplicably sad.

Cheng Jin moved closer to Pei Yu, patted Pei Yu's back and whispered to comfort him, "My father said that he likes you so much that he thinks of you as a son like my brother. He suggested that he adopt you as his adopted son. My mother, my brother and I all agree."

Pei Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing what Cheng Jin said.
