He put in a lot of effort, but he could never catch up with him.
He is different from Pei Xi. Pei Xi is a very content person. She has always been Buddhist and never forces herself to achieve any particular goal.
But he has a very strong competitive spirit.
When a rival appears in this world who can never be surpassed, this competitive spirit becomes a ridiculous thing.
So... Pei Zhi wasn't angry with anyone.
He just...can't accept himself like this.
Pei Zhi's hands were clenched tightly in front of him, his thumb unconsciously pressing against the knuckles of his other fingers.
The sun slowly set, and even the last rays of light were about to disappear, and twilight was about to envelop us.
Just then, Pei Xi suddenly spoke up: "In my heart, my brother has never been inferior to Jiang Cheng."
Pei Zhi was taken aback.
He lowered his eyes, while Pei Xi looked up at him, his amber pupils shining with a clear light.
A smile played in her eyes as she spoke softly, "Some people get defeated by difficulties and give up on themselves because their lives are tough. But Jiang Cheng is able to overcome them with all his might and always stay positive, which is why he's so amazing."
“Some people become dissolute and irresponsible because of their comfortable lives, and they look down on others because of their superior conditions. But my brother is not like that. He is kind to everyone and he always pushes himself. He has never lost his fighting spirit, so my brother is also very amazing.”
Pei Xi smiled gently, looked into Pei Zhi's eyes, and said earnestly, "You are all very capable. In my heart, I have never felt that my brother is the one who is outshone."
Pei Zhi paused.
He felt a numbness and swelling in his chest, and a sore throat, as if something was stuck in his throat.
The sun had completely set, and in the deep blue twilight, Pei Xi's eyes sparkled like the only light.
Pei Zhi looked at her, remaining silent for a long time without moving.
After a moment, he turned his face away, his Adam's apple bobbing twice. His face regained its former youthful spirit, and he raised an unserious arch of his eyebrows, saying with a wicked smile, "Playing with things leads to the loss of ambition, you're calling Shi Chen a dissolute playboy, aren't you?"
Pei Xi chuckled.
"Is this my sister? How come she's so good at comforting people?"
Pei Zhi raised his hand and cupped the back of Pei Xi's head, stroking her soft hair from top to bottom with his large hand, his gaze softening into a pool of water.
A carefree smile spread across his face, his tone filled with obvious emotion and pride: "Did Pei Zhi do too many good deeds in his past life? How lucky he is to have such an understanding younger sister."
Pei Xi giggled and said, "Brother, maybe I was your sister in my past life."
Pei Zhi clicked his tongue and raised his eyebrows, saying, "You've gotten quite bold, trying to rebel against the Heavenly Gang."
After saying that, he used force to ruffle her hair.
After causing trouble, she put her arm around Pei Xi's shoulder and pulled him into her arms.
Pei Zhi laughed as he stood above her head and said, "Let me tell you, in my past life, in my next life, and in all eight hundred lifetimes, I will always be your brother. I have to protect you, understand?"
"Okay, I understand, brother." Pei Xi nodded with a smile.
"Let's go back." Pei Zhi let go of her, stood up, pulled his coat tighter around himself, and walked straight into the house, muttering to himself, "It's really cold outside."
After taking a couple of steps, she turned around, glanced at the sky, and waved to Pei Xi, "Come in quickly, it's going to rain soon."
"Hey, I'm here." Pei Xi jogged a few steps and ran to Pei Zhi's side.
Pei Zhi pushed her back, and the two walked into the house together.
Outside, night fell slowly, spreading out a deep, dark blue.
