Chapter 223: Don't leave me behind this time
Cheng Jin was young at the time and didn't know how to comfort others. When she was wronged outside, only others could comfort her.
She could only imitate others' way of comforting others and say some words that might make Pei Yu happy.
Anyway, Cheng Yishou, Zhao Shulan and Cheng Sheng all liked Pei Yu very much, and she liked him too. There seemed to be nothing wrong in becoming a family.
Cheng Jin blinked and stared at Pei Yu with a smile, her face a little nervous, as if she was afraid that Pei Yu would reject her request.
Well, it wasn't Cheng Yishou who said it, it was Cheng Jin's own thought. She couldn't think of a particularly close relationship, except as a family.
As long as Pei Yu agreed, even if Cheng Yishou disagreed, Cheng Jin would agree after a little sloppy rolling.
It was too tiring to look for Pei Yu every day. If they were a family, they wouldn't have to run to Cheng's house every day.
However, Pei Yu didn't know what Cheng Jin was thinking. He just thought it was Cheng Jin's words to comfort him. He smiled and shook his head, gently stroking Cheng Jin's hair. Pei Yu
didn't say anything, but Cheng Jin heard Pei Yu's rejection. She pulled Pei Yu's hand off her head and held it in her own hand. Tears flashed in her eyes. I don't know if it was grievance or pity.
Cheng Jin almost cried, "Why don't you be my father's adopted son? Your Pei Mansion is too deserted, and there are not many people."
"My house is lively, and it will be even livelier when you come."
Pei Yu looked at Cheng Jin and said, "It won't be lonely if Xiao Jin goes there more often in the future."
Cheng Jin sat aside, feeling a little embarrassed, "I'm so tired. The Cheng Mansion is so far away from the Pei Mansion."
Pei Yu said, "Then I will go to the Cheng Mansion more often in the future and won't let you run away."
Cheng Jin still disagreed, "You will be too tired then."
Pei Yu shook his head, "I won't feel tired when I go to see Xiao Jin."
Cheng Jin still seemed dissatisfied. She suddenly stood up, her tone very excited, "I will definitely find a reasonable solution."
Pei Yu stood up with Cheng Jin and put the wreath he had almost made on Cheng Jin's head. He looked at Cheng Jin with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Xiao Jin to tell me."
Cheng Jin finally found a suitable solution. She didn't know where she heard the word "marriage" and immediately told Pei Yu excitedly, "Brother Pei Yu, if you marry me in the future, you can also live in the Cheng Mansion, and we will be a family."
Pei Yu patted Cheng Jin's head lightly, with a slightly helpless tone, "I really don't know who told you these words. Since ancient times, only men and women have married. How can I marry you?"
Cheng Jin seemed to be really thinking about this. She changed her words in an instant, "Then I will marry Brother Pei Yu and live in the Pei Mansion in the future."
After hearing Cheng Jin's words, Pei Yu felt like something suddenly hit his heart. Looking at Cheng Jin's innocent look, he couldn't help laughing again.
Pei Yu touched Cheng Jin's head, "Okay."
Cheng Jin didn't hear what Pei Yu said, but stretched out her fingers to count something, "Then my father will also marry, my mother will also marry, my brother will also marry, and Aunt Juxiang will also marry..."
Cheng Jin finally counted the number of people in the family who were going to Pei Mansion. She looked up at Pei Yu and said, "If we all marry, Pei Mansion will be lively."
Pei Yu: "..."
This was originally a joke from Cheng Jin, but Pei Yu took it seriously. He had been planning for the day when Cheng Jin would marry him. Obviously, he had already gone through the most difficult time, and Cheng Yishou also had this intention. Why didn't he wait until he married himself in red clothes, but waited until Cheng Jin entered the palace alone and voluntarily became Chu Chengye's noble concubine.
Pei Yu didn't understand why.
Obviously nothing had changed, but it seemed that nothing was the same.
On the day when Pei Yu entered the palace, Pei Yu had the most daring idea. He wanted to snatch the bride and take Cheng Jin away to a place where no one knew him and no one knew him. All they had in life were each other.
But Cheng Jin looked into his eyes and shook her head at him after seeing his figure that day.
Pei Yu knew that everything had changed.
It seemed that everything had changed since Cheng Jin was willing to enter the palace.
Until now, Pei Yu couldn't see Cheng Jin clearly.
Cheng Jin suddenly spoke, drawing Pei Yu's attention back. She said the same words as Pei Yu before, "Don't you know everything about me? There's nothing to say."
Pei Yu in the dark forgot that Cheng Jin couldn't see him and nodded, and then responded, "Yeah."
In fact, Pei Yu didn't know.
There were too many things he didn't know about Cheng Jin.
He didn't even know if the person in front of him was Cheng Jin.
Seeing that Pei Yu didn't say anything else, Cheng Jin didn't speak either, and the room fell into silence again.
The two of them were full of thoughts, and the voices in their heads kept coming.
Cheng Jin yawned after a while, and Pei Yu did not force her, but just shook Cheng Jin's cold hand when Cheng Jin was about to leave.
Pei Yu's voice could be heard with some subtle grievances, and he whispered: "Don't leave me this time."
Even if Pei Yu did not say it clearly, Cheng Jin knew that Pei Yu was talking about the previous matter of Cheng Jin's cancellation of the engagement. Although it was not said clearly at the time, it was also something that Pei Yu and Cheng Jin subconsciously agreed on.
Cheng Jin patted the back of Pei Yu's hand comfortingly, pretending not to know what Pei Yu was talking about.
Cheng Jin said, "I'm next door and I won't leave. If you have anything, just call me and I'll come right over."
Pei Yu said "hmm" softly. Long after Cheng Jin had left, Pei Yu was still staring at the door that Cheng Jin had just left.
When did this kind of inseparable feeling arise?
It has been so long that Pei Yu couldn't remember clearly.
When he first met Cheng Jin, he didn't like her, but just tested her.
Pei Yu's surname was not Pei, but He. What he said to Cheng Jin was half true and half false. He had indeed never seen his father when he was born, but it was not like he didn't know his father all the time.
Pei Yu knew that his father was Lord He, who was famous in the capital. He knew it when a group of inexplicable people broke into his home when he was seven years old.
His father, who had never appeared before, wanted to marry a girl from another family for his career advancement. The girl from that family could not tolerate any sand in her eyes, so his father ordered the killing of mother and son to prevent future trouble.
The people who came saw Pei Yu's mother and killed her mercilessly. They didn't kill Pei Yu, but they had never seen it before, so they accidentally killed the neighbor's child in Pei Yu's mother's arms.
After the massacre in their house, these people did not stop there. Instead, they burned all the residents on the street. It was a winter night, and few people could escape.
Pei Yu was lucky and escaped. Later, he met his master, who taught him martial arts, medicine, and imperial examinations.
When Pei Yu was fifteen years old, he wiped out the He family in the capital alone without leaving any trace. Until now, the case in the Dali Temple is still an unsolved case.
That night, when he was at his most dangerous, yet most comfortable and most cautious, he met Cheng Jin, who was only seven years old at the time
