Pei Yuan cursed under his breath, not wanting to pay attention to him. He leaned against Bao Ning against the bedpost, wanting to take a step further.

Qiu Mingshan knocked on the door more and more anxiously: "Yuan'er, I know you are in there, why don't you answer?"

"The general is calling you." Bao Ning pushed Pei Yuan's chest and felt relieved. "It must be something important, go quickly."

She was drunk a lot, her cheeks began to burn, and her breath was sweet with the aroma of wine.

Pei Yuan gritted his teeth, his palm reluctantly drilled into Bao Ning's clothes, grabbed her delicate flesh hard, bit her cheek again, put on a coat and walked out.

Bao Ning looked at his back and secretly said that it was a good risk.

She and Pei Yuan were used to hugging and kissing occasionally, but she was nervous about this deeper contact, not to say she resisted.

And Pei Yuan had hurt her just now.

Bao Ning was thinking about something in a daze. Her stomach was full and she felt a little sleepy from the alcohol. She sat on the bed for a while and fell asleep soon.

The last thought was: Pei Yuan hasn't washed her feet yet? She was still angry and couldn't let him go tomorrow.

...

Pei Yuan closed the door gently. He was wearing a white shirt with some wrinkles and water stains. It was stained by the wine he spilled when feeding Bao Ning. The black coat was loose on his shoulders, and there was a hint of lust in his eyes.

Pei Yuan rubbed his brows and asked hoarsely, "What's the matter?"

"You, you just went to the prison and cut off Zhou Jiangcheng's right hand?" Qiu Mingshan was spinning around on the spot, not noticing Pei Yuan's abnormality. He slammed the doorpost and said, "Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"Is this worth your trip?" Pei Yuan sneered, "Did he discuss it with you when he ran towards my wife like crazy and wanted to scare her?"

"He is a commander after all! How can you just punish him like this? Yuan'er, you are too ruthless and cruel. How can you be so reckless!"

Qiu Mingshan sighed, "Your mother's gentle nature has never been shown to you..." He was halfway through his words when he realized that he was wrong. He stopped talking and looked up at Pei Yuan's expression.

His smile really faded and turned into indifference.

Qiu Mingshan wanted to explain: "I'm not saying you are not good..."

Pei Yuan stared into his eyes with disappointment and resentment, and said to him word by word: "You did such a disrespectful thing to her, how can you still have the nerve to mention her in front of her son?"

Qiu Mingshan's eyes flashed with guilt. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was blocked by Pei Yuan.

"Zhou Jiangcheng is not worthy of being reused. He is okay at training soldiers but has courage but no strategy. A character like Zhang Fei, if he is used as a commander, something bad will definitely happen, as can be seen from the incident of the tiger talisman. General, you were a powerful figure ten years ago, why are you so nostalgic and cowardly now? Zhou Jiangcheng should have died long ago, not to mention I didn't take his life, I just cut off his hand that touched my wife."

Qiu Mingshan was speechless. The two of them were deadlocked at the door for a while, and Pei Yuan turned around: "Go back to sleep if there is nothing else."

Qiu Mingshan said anxiously: "Why can't you talk to me nicely?"

"No." Pei Yuan glanced over and said in annoyance, "You are ruining my business."

Qiu Mingshan then noticed that his clothes were disheveled and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body. He was embarrassed and took a step back: "I..."

Pei Yuan didn't wait for him to finish, slammed the door in front of him and went into the house.

…

There was a loud noise at the door. Bao Ning frowned. She woke up in a startled moment. She turned over and saw Pei Yuan coming over.

He first went to the cabinet, as if to get something. After seeing her move, he changed direction and came to sit beside her: "Did I wake you up?"

"Yeah." Bao Ning replied vaguely. She felt dizzy and covered her eyes with her wrist to block the light. She looked a little coquettish. "I want to sleep."

Pei Yuan walked over and blew out the light. He fumbled in the dark and took out a small box in his hand. He sat beside her again.

He fiddled with the small box. The lock made a rattling sound, but he refused to open it. Bao Ning opened her eyelids to see his expression. Pei Yuan seemed very serious.

In a trance, Baoning recalled that when he first met Qiu Mingshan in the small courtyard, Pei Yuan also took out this small box and sat on the kang to look at it for a long time.

It seemed that there was a secret of his in there.

Baoning groaned: "What are you doing?"

Pei Yuan stopped, put the box aside, and changed to a position lying on Baoning, stroking and rubbing her face with his thumb: "Ningning, talk to me."

Baoning felt itchy and felt that he was annoying. She pulled the quilt to cover her head and said in a muffled voice: "Let's talk tomorrow, I want to sleep."

Pei Yuan pulled off her quilt and poked her soft cheek with his fingers: "Are you drunk?"

"You look so annoying." Baoning's voice was soft. She pushed Pei Yuan's face away in resistance. "If you can't sleep, go walk around in the yard and don't disturb me."

Pei Yuan was silent for a long time. Baoning thought he was going to sleep, but he suddenly leaned his face closer to her ear and whispered, "If you knew what kind of person I am, would you still stay with me?"

Baoning couldn't hear clearly and responded with "hmm" and "ah".

"I've killed a lot of people, good ones and bad ones. Don't you know that?"

Pei Yuan continued, "Actually, I lied to you when I said I was going out to get some food. I went somewhere else on the way and I cut off one of Zhou Jiangcheng's hands. He's not dead yet, but he will die soon. I've thought of a way to kill him. How about throwing him into a mass grave to feed the dogs?" "

It's similar to the way Feng Yongjia died. Feng Yongjia, do you remember him? I tied up his hands and feet and threw him into a wasteland. He must have scared himself to death, or he must have been eaten by wolves or dogs. I don't think he's pitiful. He deserves to die, but you should feel sorry for him, right?"

"And Xu Guang, he was broken into two halves from the waist, and I burned him to death while he was still alive."

Pei Yuan spoke in a low voice, wanting her to hear, but not wanting her to hear.

In his slow tone, Bao Ning fell asleep, breathing very steadily. Pei Yuan observed the rise and fall of her chest, smiled, and felt relieved.

Deep down, he still didn't want Bao Ning to know.

It was difficult for people like him not to receive disgusting looks from others. A madman, Yanluo, and the reincarnation of an evil spirit, Pei Yuan had long been accustomed to such titles, but he was afraid that Bao Ning would look at him like this.

Pei Yuan remembered the panic of Bao Ning when he threw the sword and cut Zhou Jiangcheng's neck after Zhou Jiangcheng fell to the ground that night. She should be afraid of him like this.

But I don't want to keep pretending like this.

Pei Yuan's index finger entangled Bao Ning's hair and whispered, "Am I a cruel person?"

"My mother died before I could protect her." Pei Yuan kissed Bao Ning's cheek, "I can't watch this happen again, so anyone who wants to hurt my precious things, I have to kill them first, and punish them in the most painful way."

"In this world, good people are bullied, and those who do wrong should pay the price. The strong are the ones who can decide life and death."

"Baoning, if one day you find out that the rumors outside are true, that my hands are stained with blood, that I am a madman, and that I am not the gentle and kind person you expect, don't think that the things I did are disgusting... Don't leave."

Pei Yuan gently bit her earlobe: "I said that I would never hurt you."

He said so much to himself, and Baoning fell asleep peacefully. Only a half-asleep sheep and an awake dog were listening.

Pei Yuan thought he was funny, the hypocritical young girl in love was not like him at all. But

sometimes emotions come inexplicably, and the suppressed panic is ignited in an instant. He is not a normal person. He is extreme and stubborn, numb to good and evil, and indifferent to life and death. He is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He has evil blood flowing through his body. Even if he is not disabled, he is destined to live in the abyss.

Now he has figured it out.

…

The next morning, Bao Ning woke up late. She really couldn’t drink a drop of alcohol. She still felt groggy after getting up. It might be because she didn’t sleep well last night.

Pei Yuan chattered for half the night, but she didn’t hear a word he said. She finally fell asleep, but her dreams were filled with a group of monks chanting.

The sky was bright, and the sunlight shone through the thin window paper onto her face, creating a soft halo. Ah Huang had already eaten his fill, and was sticking his butt out and nudging her neck.

Bao Ning consciously moved to the side to touch Pei Yuan’s position, and was surprised to find that he was already cold. He had been gone for a long time.

Bao Ning’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sat up . Bao Ning came over, looking aggrieved and puzzled. He had said everything fine yesterday, that he would be fine for the next few days and would spend time with her, but in the blink of an eye he went back on his word and disappeared.

A sweet and greasy aroma of milk wafted over, and Ah Huang was the first to smell it. He craned his neck to look outside, and saw the lamb bleating at the door. That was its food. Bao

Ning got out of bed in confusion, and leaned against the doorpost to look outside. She saw Pei Yuan's broad back. He moved a stool to the door, with his back to her, holding the lamb in his arms, and feeding it with very stiff movements.

Nanny Liu whispered beside her, "Fourth Prince, Fourth Prince, please go slower, don't hurt its tongue."

"Why are you so squeamish?" Pei Yuan said impatiently, "Go to the kitchen and get an oil spill, put it in your mouth, and pour a bowl of milk into it. "Oh, you can't do that. "

Nanny Liu waved her hands repeatedly, "The lamb is not even a month old, and it's sick. How can you feed it the way you feed ducks?"

Pei Yuan said, "How long will it take to feed it, one spoonful at a time?"

"It only takes a quarter of an hour. Madam has always fed it like this." Nanny Liu coaxed him carefully, "Fourth Prince, please be patient. Madam will be happy to see it later."

Pei Yuan said, "Hmm," and patted the lamb's face, "Open your mouth, and have another bite. "

Baoning couldn't help laughing out loud. Ah Huang woofed and rushed to Pei Yuan, digging his knees with his paws and raising his head high, wanting to eat too.

Pei Yuan asked Aunt Liu to take it away. He turned around with the lamb in his arms and looked at Baoning. He raised his chin slightly, with some disgust: "Look what a good job you assigned to me. I haven't had breakfast early in the morning, and I have to feed this little beast first."

Baoning hid half of his face behind the bed curtain and smiled at him: "Look how cute it is."

Pei Yuan lowered his head and scratched the lamb's ears with his fingers: "It's just like that."

He raised his head again: "Not as cute as you. "

Baoning laughed even more happily. Aunt Liu had never seen them flirting so openly before, and her old face turned red with shame, and she quickly retreated.

"Don't be silly, come out and wash your face and comb your hair." Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow at her, "I'll take you out to play after dinner."
