Chapter 83 People are much scarier than ghosts
Weisheng Wenzhan raised his hand and covered the gap in the closet.
Only one closet apart.
But it felt warm.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of Qiao Chuchu's room.
She frowned and looked at the door.
Pei Youchuan's low voice rang out: "Are you not asleep?"
She was startled, and her anxious mood eased a little: [Why is Pei Youchuan here? ]
[But it's good that he came. My mind is too chaotic now. I don't even dare to sleep in a room. I always feel that someone is staring at me from behind. ]
Huai Ling: "..."
She is quite sensitive.
Qiao Chuchu sat on the bed, facing the direction of the closet gap: "Come in."
Pei Youchuan pushed the door open and looked at Qiao Chuchu who was sitting on the bed.
It was already midnight.
He asked knowingly: "What's wrong? Are you upset?"
Qiao Chuchu looked at him helplessly: "How do you know I'm not asleep?"
Pei Youchuan hesitated for a moment, and said with a straight face: "I heard the sound of you walking back and forth, it was very noisy."
Qiao Chuchu: "..."
She laughed angrily: "Okay, then I won't leave, you go back to sleep."
"No, I can't sleep anyway." Pei Youchuan sat beside her: "Why don't you... tell me why you can't sleep?"
Huai Ling frowned.
He could probably understand what they were talking about.
However, he had investigated and found that there was a big rift in the relationship between them, and they had not lived together for several years.
This Pei Youchuan didn't look like he ignored Qiao Chuchu as the information said.
He seemed to care about her very much.
Huai Ling pursed her lips cautiously.
If the people around her cared about her, he would have to work twice as hard to break through.
He looked at Qiao Chuchu nervously again.
Pei Youchuan also looked at Qiao Chuchu a little nervously.
Chuchu was in a depressed mood and didn't want to talk.
[What should I say? ]
[Someone wants to kill me? But I can't even produce any evidence. ]
[You can't say that I came back from the dead once, and now I know that Qiao Qihang's whole family wants to kill me, right? ]
Pei Youchuan's face became uglier as he listened: "Qiao Chuchu, you can tell me anything you want to say, and I will believe you."
She was startled and met Pei Youchuan's gaze.
Pei Youchuan's beautiful eyes locked on her tightly, as if he was expecting her to say something.
She opened her mouth, and another thought flashed through her mind.
[If Pei Youchuan has a secret, he will definitely not tell me. ]
[After all, I have been a demon for so many years, and Pei Youchuan has been hurt by me more than once or twice. ]
She turned into a bitter smile: "I was just... scared by the horror movie, you also know that I am most afraid of ghosts."
Pei Youchuan's eyes instantly became lonely: "Really?"
His tone turned cold: "Then you go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Pei Youchuan ignored her, turned off the lights, turned on the desk lamp, and sat by her bed under the goose yellow light: "Go to sleep."
She was puzzled: "? What for?"
Pei Youchuan looked righteous: "I'll coax you to sleep like when you were a child."
Qiao Chuchu was confused, and Pei Youchuan pushed her down on the bed without saying anything!
Qiao Chuchu: "!"
Pei Youchuan squeezed her inside, half lying on the bed, and said in a strong tone: "Close your eyes."
Qiao Chuchu blinked in confusion, and the fear lingering in her heart disappeared in an instant: "I don't need it--"
"No, no, I can't sleep well if you can't sleep." Pei Youchuan frowned: "Don't you know that I am mentally weak? I can wake up at the slightest movement outside."
Qiao Chuchu was shocked: "How can a guy who falls asleep as soon as you lie down be mentally weak? I remember the alarm you set woke up the whole family, and you were still sleeping like a dead pig."
Pei Youchuan's face sank and he was unhappy: "Close your eyes quickly, don't make me impatient, otherwise I will play horror movies on loop to scare you!"
Chuchu choked and closed her eyes helplessly.
[Time is really unforgiving. Even Pei Youchuan, a heartless guy who falls asleep as soon as he lies down, can suffer from mental breakdown.]
Pei Youchuan: “?”
[But it’s good to have someone standing next to me. I finally don’t have to worry about being frightened, hehe!]
Pei Youchuan: “…”
She finally got the words back.
He put his warm hand on the back of her hand, patting it while humming a song: "The black awning is lit with gauze lights, and the bluestone on the rock is quietly showing new patterns. When the drizzle falls, the returning swallows don’t wait for anyone…"
She heard the low and gentle singing, arched her head in relief, and leaned against him.
Pei Youchuan’s warm hand covered the back of her hand and patted it very gently.
She gradually felt relaxed and sleepiness gradually surged up.
[It’s so warm, just like when she was a child.
Pei Youchuan's heart shuddered, and he lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Chuchu. She
looked the same as when she was a child, and she had grown up in proportion.
When she was six years old, Qiao Chuchu was played a prank by Pei Mu and Pei Ci. She saw a particularly scary ghost picture, which frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep at night. She knocked on his door holding the quilt.
"Mom and Dad are away on a business trip. Can you sleep with me, third brother? I'm so scared."
She held the quilt and promised: "I will never touch you!"
He felt puzzled at the time: "Why me?"
The little girl said pitifully: "You are strong and energetic, and it seems that ghosts will not possess you."
So, Qiao Chuchu lay beside him, covered with her purple quilt.
He fell asleep immediately.
Qiao Chuchu poked him to wake him up again: "Third brother, I still can't sleep, you can make some noise, if you really can't, you can snore. I always feel that there is someone under the bed, there is someone in the closet, and you have become a ghost."
...
He was very angry. He
was angry at Pei Ci and Pei Mu.
He patted the back of Qiao Chuchu's hand helplessly: "Mom always patted me like this when she coaxed me to sleep. I will sing for you again. Can you fall asleep now?"
Qiao Chuchu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, brother! I will listen to you all day tomorrow!"
He snorted, patted the back of her hand and sang to her.
Qiao Chuchu flattered him: "You are the best singer among the brothers, thank you, third brother, you have worked hard."
He sneered: "What if you don't thank me? Can I ignore you?"
The little girl smiled at him flatteringly: "I'm afraid you think I'm troublesome, hehe~"
He snorted coldly: "I'm your brother, as long as you say a word, I have to help."
Pei Youchuan woke up from his memory and looked at Qiao Chuchu who was already sleeping.
At that time, her hands were small, and he could cover her palms with one hand.
Now, her hands are still small, and he can still cover them with one palm.
He was in a daze: "You used to rely on me the most, saying that I was strong and safe. When you were afraid of ghosts, you always thought of me first. I didn't need to listen to your inner voice, because you would take the initiative to tell me what you were afraid of."
"Now, you have experienced something more terrifying than ghosts, but you don't tell me a word."
"I can only understand your fear and terror from your inner voice, and... your distance from me."
Pei Youchuan sat there for an hour, making sure Qiao Chuchu was asleep, turned off the desk light, and stood up and left.
Huai Ling quietly walked out of the closet, walked to Qiao Chuchu's side, took out the disinfectant tissue she carried with her, and gently wiped the back of Qiao Chuchu's hand.
He patted it with satisfaction~
clean!
Huai Ling took out a necklace from the pocket of his collar very quietly.
The pendant was a teardrop-shaped blue Paraiba.
He put it on Qiao Chuchu's neck very smoothly and looked at it in the moonlight.
It really fits!
He carefully put the note he had written into her hand and gestured to her: "My sister said that you must bring a gift when you meet a girl you want to pursue. This is the Paraiba I carefully selected. I bought it with my freshly earned salary."
Weisheng Huai Ling smiled: "I hope the gem and a new day can make you happy, because I am happy every time I hear your voice."
He came out of Qiao Chuchu's suite, turned around, and bumped into Weisheng Wenzhan in pajamas.
Wen Zhan glanced at him mysteriously, as if he had known that he was hiding in Qiao Chuchu's room, and gestured with sign language: "What are you doing?"
He: "Delivering a necklace to Qiao Chuchu."
Wen Zhan: "? Is she awake?"
Huai Ling shook her head.
Weisheng Wenzhan: "? Then did you give it to her when she was sleeping? Do you know that this is terrible? No one will like your behavior."
Huai Ling kept a distant smile on her face and said in sign language: "Stay away from her, brother."
Weisheng Wenzhan: "?"
Weisheng Huai Ling walked forward and smiled at him innocently: "I am very dissatisfied with your decision to approach her without permission, so I hurried over. Don't do it next time."
Huai Ling blinked her wet eyes: "Her affairs, my sister and I will handle it."
Wen Zhan narrowed his eyes: "You don't believe in my taste? Do you think I would like someone like Qiao Chuchu?"
Weisheng Huai Ling smiled: "I believe it, I'm just reminding you."
"Okay." Wen Zhan faked a smile: "Then you believed it wrong."
Huai Ling: "?"
Weisheng Wen Zhan's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "It's such a fun thing to listen to the inner voice, I can't let you get away with it alone, not to mention you don't know how important I am to her." Weisheng Huai
Ling's face gradually darkened.
Weisheng Wen Zhan laughed teasingly: "She drew a comic book based on me. She is very satisfied with my appearance. I am much more important than you. When you get a comic book, you can compete with me."
Huai Ling staggered back a step, showing an expression as if struck by lightning.
Weisheng Wen Zhan turned around and his smile deepened.
It's so interesting.
Teasing Huai Ling is just like teasing Pei Youchuan, and each tease is accurate.
He thought of something, turned around and asked: "What jewelry did you give me?"
Weisheng Huailing was still in shock: "... Paraiba"
Weisheng Wenzhan nodded and smiled mysteriously: "Then I will give you something more expensive."
Huailing: "!!!!!!!"
