Chapter 23: Her every move is under my control
Hearing this, Ye Ci's confidence increased greatly. He rolled up his sleeves, sat down in front of the computer, and started typing frantically!
Pei Xingzhi was relatively calm. He turned to look at Qin Song and asked, "How can you be so sure that this game will be a hit?"
Qin Song: "...My intuition tells me so."
Pei Xingzhi: “…Okay.”
Although the intuition had no factual basis, it still gave him some confidence.
He put the information away and continued working on the computer.
Qin Song had nothing to do, so he wandered around the room a few times out of boredom, then began to feel drowsy.
After dinner, Pei's mother went back to the tutoring institution to continue her classes, leaving Qin Song the only one left in the studio. Qin Song sat on a chair and played with his mobile phone for a while. The more he played, the more sleepy he felt, so he simply lay down on the table and dozed off.
Pei Xingzhi took on a few odd jobs in the morning. After modifying the modeling data, he continued working for the client. He didn't even know when Qin Song fell asleep on the table.
It was Ye Ci who saw it and told him.
He temporarily put down the work in his hands, pulled out a chair and walked quietly to Qin Song's side.
Qin Song rested his face on his arms, his face was squeezed into a round shape, and at first glance he looked like Crayon Shin-chan.
Pei Xingzhi smiled faintly.
Qin Song was sleeping soundly, with slight snoring sounds coming from his breathing. Pei Xingzhi didn't have the heart to wake her up, but he had to.
He leaned over, patted the back of Qin Song's head gently with his palm, and called her softly: "Qin Song, Qin Song?"
"...Hmm?" Qin Song opened his eyes drowsily, so sleepy that he couldn't even see Pei Xingzhi's face clearly. "What's wrong? Is it time to eat again?"
"No." Pei Xingzhi's voice was very gentle, with a hint of smile in it, which made Qin Song's heart beat faster.
"It's uncomfortable to sleep on your stomach. Come with me and I'll take you to sleep on the bed."
Qin Song stood up and looked at him confusedly: "Where is the bed here?"
Pei Xingzhi grabbed her wrist, led her to stand up and walked towards the desk: "In order to make it easier to rest, Ye Ci bought two bunk beds online two days ago. I'll take out the bunk beds for you, and you can lie on them and sleep."
"Although it's not as comfortable as home, at least it won't make you so tired."
Qin Song followed Pei Xingzhi obediently. Hearing this, he nodded: "Oh."
The bunk bed was placed under the filing cabinet behind the desk. Pei Xingzhi took it out, unfolded it, and helped Qin Song lie down on it.
Qin Song turned over and lay on his side, smiling contentedly: "It's quite comfortable."
Pei Xingzhi pursed his lips and couldn't smile at all.
Qin Song was pregnant and had to live in a rental house with him, and now she even had to take a nap on a hard bunk bed.
He felt really bad.
But Qin Song didn't think it was a big deal, instead he said cheerfully: "Then I'll go to sleep first, come on guys."
Pei Xingzhi took off his coat and covered her with it, then uttered a muffled "hmm".
Qin Song is not a picky person, she can sleep well even on a bunk bed.
She closed her eyes quietly, and the sound of her even breathing came intermittently amidst the sound of keyboard tapping. Pei Xingzhi listened and felt inexplicably at ease.
He was busy with his work for his master, and would look back at Qin Song from time to time. Seeing Qin Song sleeping soundly, his tiredness would dissipate a little.
"Brother Pei." Ye Ci sat opposite Pei Xingzhi, and could only call him in a whisper for fear of disturbing Qin Song.
"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi raised his eyelids and looked over.
Ye Ci: "You showed our project data to my sister-in-law so openly? Aren't you afraid that my sister-in-law...what?"
Pei Xingzhi glanced at the sleeping Qin Song and spoke softly but firmly: "Don't be afraid."
"She is willing to trust me, so I should trust her too. If we are on guard everywhere, we are not husband and wife anymore."
"……oh."
Since Pei Xingzhi has said so, there is no need for him to repeat himself. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but remind him again: "Brother Pei, we have already suffered a setback at the hands of Fang Bo. This setback was tragic and severe. I don't want another Fang Bo to appear around us."
"I understand." Pei Xingzhi raised his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses were shrewd and sober, "My trust is also conditional. Don't worry, her every move is under my control, and I won't let her become the second Fang Bo."
This sentence had a profound meaning, and Ye Ci paused for several seconds before he understood its significance.
He raised his eyebrows and gave Pei Xingzhi a gratified smile: "Since Brother Pei knows what's going on, I won't worry about it anymore."
“Hmm…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Song on the bunk bed suddenly stretched and turned over. Pei Xingzhi quickly turned around to look at her, and when he saw that she hadn't opened her eyes, the wariness on his face eased a little.
"Yeah." He responded softly, reaching out to pull up the coat that had slipped off and covering Qin Song with it.
"Go on, I have to go home early today."
Ye Ci made an "OK" gesture to him: "Okay."
Qin Song slept for a full two hours during this nap. When he got up again, Pei Xingzhi had completed all the work for the single master.
"Awake?" Pei Xingzhi put down his phone, slid his chair around, turned around, and looked at her with a faint smile.
"..." Qin Song's eyes were blank and his expression was dull, as if he hadn't heard anything and had no reaction.
She slept for too long, and it seemed as if her brain had completely gone into sleep. She was completely dazed and unconscious.
Pei Xingzhi waited for her for a while, and seeing that she was standing there in a daze, not moving or talking, he stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Qin Song, are you awake?"
"...Hmm?" Qin Song finally regained some consciousness and slowly and dully raised his head to look at Pei Xingzhi, "Hmm... awake."
"Would you like some water?" Pei Xingzhi asked patiently.
Qin Song: "Yes."
Pei Xingzhi turned around and called Ye Ci: "Ye Zi, pour a glass of water for your sister-in-law."
Ye Ci was just changing the water at the water dispenser. Hearing this, he laughed helplessly: "Brother Pei, how can I pour water? Our studio's budget has always been tight. In the tea room, apart from a bucket of purified water and our two cups, where can we find any extra water containers?"
"Huh?" Pei Xingzhi was completely unaware of this. "No water container? Not even a disposable paper cup?"
Ye Ci shook his head: "No."
“……” Pei Xingzhi’s expression suddenly became a little awkward.
Qin Song looked at the two of them in embarrassment, thought for a few seconds, and wanted to say forget it, he wasn't thirsty, but Pei Xingzhi suddenly handed him his cup of water.
"If you don't mind, drink from my cup."
"..." Qin Song looked at him in surprise, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the cup of water with both hands.
"I don't mind."
As soon as she finished speaking, she tilted her head back and drank the water in the cup in big gulps. After drinking it, he gave it back to Pei Xingzhi: "Thank you."
Pei Xingzhi blinked, looking a little unnatural.
"You're welcome."
“Buzz—buzz—”
At this moment, Pei Xingzhi's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller's note and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Mom."
Pei's mother's voice came out clearly from the receiver of the phone: "Xingzhi, when can you get off work? Just come and pick me up after get off work. Xiaoxuan has been asked to work overtime again today and can't have dinner with us."
"Working overtime again?" Pei Xingzhi frowned, and a cold look instantly appeared in his eyes.
