Pei Wu's meal at her parents' house was unusually harmonious.
After dinner, Pei Wu helped her parents wash the dishes before leaving. While washing the dishes, the three of them chatted casually, and Pei Wu took the opportunity to tell her parents about her relationship.
Upon hearing that their daughter was dating, the elderly couple exchanged a glance before asking, "What kind of person is he?"
"..." Pei Wu also thought carefully about her words, but couldn't find a suitable word to describe Jin Wei. She smiled slightly and said, "He's the person I like."
Pei's parents were slightly taken aback by their daughter's words, and surprise flashed in their eyes. As Pei Wu's parents, they had never heard their daughter say that she liked someone. After a while, they replied, "If there is a chance... bring him back for dinner."
"Yes, I will bring him back when the time is right."
When Pei's father wanted to ask something more, he didn't speak at Pei's mother's signal.
After washing the dishes, Pei Wu sat for a while before preparing to leave. The elderly couple watched Pei Wu's car leave for a long time before walking back together.
"You should always ask about a child's character."
"It's rare for my daughter to have someone she likes, so let her be."
"Precisely because she lacks experience in this area, we should be even more vigilant in ensuring her success."
"You have to trust your daughter's judgment; she's always been a person with her own ideas."
Pei's father fell silent.
Pei Wu has been meticulous and independent since childhood. Her parents are aware that they missed out on Pei Wu's childhood. Because of the lack of their daughter's growth, they find it difficult to have a close parent-child relationship like other families.
Pei Wu did not go home but returned to 'Bei Shang'.
In the eyes of her employees, ever since their CEO Pei returned from the game, she has inexplicably become more humane.
In the past, working overtime through the night to meet project deadlines was commonplace. Now, the saying goes, "Work is never-ending," and they simply go home early to rest and spend time with their families. After finishing debugging their games, they are able to leave work on time, a rare occurrence, and even enjoy weekends off.
These employees were all speculating privately whether Pei Wu was in a relationship, after all, "love makes people gentle".
So at this time, the research lab is completely empty.
Pei Wu, who had just had dinner with her parents, looked at the empty research room and thought of her own lifeless house, feeling a sudden sense of loss.
All that could be seen in her mind was Jin Wei's face. With her heart set on it, Pei Wu quickly drove to the building where Jin Wei lived.
Looking up the floors, there were no lights on the floor where Jin Wei's family lived.
Pei Wu, who had only wanted to catch a glimpse of him, did not receive the psychological comfort she expected, and her sense of loss deepened.
Her chat history with Jin Wei was still stuck on a few casual words exchanged after they parted that morning. Soon, Pei Wu dialed Jin Wei's number.
Jin Wei's family dinner is not over yet.
When Pei Wu called, he said "Excuse me for a moment" before walking aside to answer her call.
"Hello."
As soon as Jin Wei's voice came over, Pei Wu subconsciously straightened her back and said, "Good evening."
"Okay, good evening."
The two exchanged a "good evening" and then fell silent. Pei Wu, who just wanted to hear Jin Wei's voice, hadn't decided what to say after dialing the number.
A few seconds later, Pei Wu spoke again, "Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"
"No, I was just... attending a boring family dinner."
"profound."
"You wanted to see me..." Jin Wei hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What's the matter?"
As he spoke, Jin Wei unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone. He even wondered if Pei Wu, who had called him at this hour, was inviting him for a drive or to see a movie...
Pei Wu's words, "It's nothing," instantly dampened Jin Wei's spirits. He awkwardly raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, remaining silent.
"I just miss you a little and want to hear your voice."
