Chapter 166: Good Friends
"Brother, where are you going?"
Pei Xingzhi had just walked to the door and was about to open it when Pei Lingxuan suddenly turned the door open from the outside and bumped into him head-on.
He lowered his eyes, and his usually gentle face was now as cold as ice.
"I'm going to the studio." He walked sideways past Pei Lingxuan with his crutches and walked out without looking back.
"Ah?" Pei Lingxuan turned around and looked at his back in surprise. "Why are you going to the studio when your leg isn't healed yet? Can't you just call and solve the problem?"
“……” Pei Xingzhi ignored her.
Even with a cane, he could still walk very fast and disappeared into the corridor outside the door in the blink of an eye.
“…Hmm?” Pei Lingxuan’s mind was full of question marks, but she didn’t think much about it.
She turned her head back and walked in, looking up at Qin Song who was sitting in front of the sofa, only to see that Qin Song's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.
"Sister-in-law?!" Her heart tightened and she almost ran to Qin Song.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" She grabbed Qin Song's shoulders and kept asking worriedly, "Did you have a quarrel with my brother? Or did my brother not believe you and have a misunderstanding about you?"
Qin Song shook his head, raised his hands and rubbed the wet corners of his eyes: "Neither."
"Neither...then what happened?" Pei Lingxuan reached out and wiped away the tear she had missed, her heart hanging in the air.
But Qin Song still shook his head: "Don't ask for now, go out and check on your brother first. He went out in anger, I'm afraid something might happen to him."
"Okay." Pei Lingxuan agreed immediately, then turned and ran.
"Sister-in-law, please stay at home. I will ensure my brother's safety—"
“Bang!”
Before Qin Song could answer, Pei Lingxuan slammed the door shut.
“Eh…”
She lowered her head and sighed deeply. She stood there for a while, then sat back on the sofa, holding her stomach, looking dejected.
In fact, she had known this day would come. When she told the first lie to Pei Xingzhi, she knew that the day would come when the conflict would break out.
Pei Xingzhi's reactions were all within her expectations, but she was still confused and at a loss...
"elder brother!"
When Pei Lingxuan caught up with Pei Xingzhi, Pei Xingzhi had already got into a taxi at the entrance of the community.
"Brother, where are you going? Don't you care about your sister-in-law anymore?" Pei Lingxuan leaned against the car window, sweat breaking out on her forehead due to anxiety.
Pei Xingzhi had a cold face and looked down, not looking at anyone.
"I'm not ignoring her. I really have to go to the studio to take care of something. Go back quickly and don't leave her alone at home. She hasn't had lunch yet."
Pei Lingxuan refused to leave: "You can ask me to go back, but only if you go with me!"
"..." Pei Xingzhi was too lazy to explain, so he simply opened his phone and showed Pei Lingxuan the WeChat message Ye Ci had just sent him.
Pei Lingxuan took just one look and consciously loosened her hand that was pressing on the gap of the car window.
"There's something going on..."
Pei Xingzhi put away his phone and said coldly, "Don't mess around here, go back and look after your sister-in-law. She's prone to having wild thoughts when she's alone, comfort her for me."
"You..." Pei Lingxuan looked at him with a headache, her head seemed like a mess.
"My sister-in-law was worried that something might happen to you, so she asked me to come out to see if you were safe. And you, on the other hand, were worried that my sister-in-law was hungry, and on the other hand, you were afraid that she would have wild thoughts. You two obviously care about each other, so why did you have to quarrel like this? Is there anything that can't be discussed calmly?"
Pei Xingzhi: "...I didn't argue with her, and I couldn't bear to argue with her."
Pei Lingxuan put her hands on her hips, looking unconvinced: "If you guys weren't arguing, why were you in such a hurry to leave? And why was my sister-in-law wiping tears with red eyes?"
"...wipe tears?" These three words made Pei Xingzhi panic. He was finally willing to look up at Pei Lingxuan, but his eyes were clearly redder than Qin Song's.
"Did she cry?"
Pei Lingxuan shook her head: "I didn't cry, I just looked very sad."
“…”
Pei Xingzhi's anxious heart finally settled down.
"Go back and stay with her, don't let her continue to be sad."
Pei Lingxuan: "You really won't come back with me?"
Pei Xingzhi clutched his phone tightly: "The studio's matter is urgent, I have to rush over now. Go back quickly and don't let your sister-in-law wait too long."
"...Okay." Pei Lingxuan took two steps back, knowing that she could not persuade Pei Xingzhi.
"Then be careful and send me a message when you arrive."
Pei Xingzhi hummed, then closed the car window and quickly disappeared from Pei Lingxuan's sight.
“Eh…”
Pei Lingxuan looked at the road, sighed deeply, turned around and started walking home.
“Buzz——”
“Buzz——”
The cell phone suddenly vibrated twice, and Qin Song briefly came back to his senses from his complicated thoughts.
She picked up the phone that was placed aside, but did not see Pei Xingzhi's name in the message notification column.
Feeling a little disappointed, she unlocked her phone and went straight into WeChat.
Jiang Mian and Duan Jialu seemed to have discussed it beforehand and bombarded her with messages at the same time.
Jiang Mian:? ? ? What's going on? What's up with that news?
Jiang Mian: Classmate Pei Dahua, who have you offended again? How come he suddenly got blamed for such a huge crime?
Duan Jialu:? ? ? My teacher Qin, are you OK? Do you need legal aid?
Duan Jialu: Teacher Qin, let me post a video on Douyin to support you. I have edited the content, please take a look.
These two friends are very loyal. After seeing the negative news about Qin Song, their first reaction was not suspicion or gossip, but an eager desire to provide help to Qin Song.
Qin Song looked at these messages and finally a smile appeared on his face.
She opened the chat box and was about to reply when a strange phone call suddenly came to her cell phone.
She hesitated and didn't dare to answer it because before that, she had received two deliberately insulting calls from strangers and a phone interview from a gossip reporter.
“Buzz——”
The phone vibrated again. It was a message from Song Yihan.
——Teacher Qin, answer the phone. This is me calling.
“…”
"Huh..." Qin Song breathed a sigh of relief.
She answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello……"
"Teacher Qin!!!"
“Pei Dahua!!”
Three voices responded to her.
“…”
Qin Song was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You three are together now?"
"Yes!" the three women answered in unison.
Song Yihan: "Teacher Qin, seriously, do you want legal aid? Just say 'yes' and I will immediately arrange for someone to help you!"
Duan Jialu shouted at the top of her voice: "We will help you too! We only have one teacher, Qin. Those idiots must not let you become depressed."
