Chapter 62
“…”
Pei Xingzhi looked at the baby-faced boy who had fainted in the utility room, then looked at the innocent eyes of Meng Wanqiu next to him, and his temples twitched in pain.
"What... is going on?"
"You see, this guy was following me for a long time, and then I knocked him out to see what his purpose was."
Meng Wanqiu said as a matter of course.
Pei Xingzhi's mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to explain to Meng Wanqiu, "Wanwan, he's not a bad person."
Meng Wanqiu opened her mouth slightly and asked Pei Xingzhi in surprise, "He's not a bad guy? Do you know him?"
Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes sadly, looked at the unconscious baby face again, and reluctantly told Meng Wanqiu what happened at the 715 Institute.
Because of the unusual situation in the factory recently, the security department in the dark has received some secret information, including the inside story of the July 15 investigation by JIANdie, and is secretly infiltrating.
In order to protect the safety of this group of people, people were specially arranged to protect the engineers and their families to prevent accidents.
The baby-faced man is the soldier who protects Meng Wanqiu.
Because the existence of the 715 Institute is a secret and all those who know about it need to keep it confidential, Pei Xingzhi had no choice but to hide it from Meng Wanqiu.
He didn't expect Meng Wanqiu to be so perceptive. Even from such a long distance, she could feel that someone was watching her.
Pei Xingzhi knew that Meng Wanqiu was skilled in martial arts and that she understood some pharmacology, but he did not expect that she could come up with such a miraculous medicine, kill someone without any effort, and bring the person back home for interrogation.
After hearing this, Meng Wanqiu's mind rumbled. The words "car overturned" suddenly appeared amidst the thunder and lightning. She hesitantly said, "So, what should we do now?"
Seeing Meng Wanqiu so flustered for the first time, Pei Xingzhi's heart softened all of a sudden.
He held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. It's all my fault. I blame myself for not telling you."
In addition to the fact that discipline does not allow it, another reason is that Pei Xingzhi underestimated Meng Wanqiu's ability.
Now that the person has been tied up and brought home, there is no point in hiding it any longer.
Although she was comforted, Meng Wanqiu was still a little nervous and embarrassed. Someone came to protect her specially, but she turned against him and knocked him unconscious.
Although she didn't know all this, she still felt guilty.
Pei Xingzhi asked, "Wanwan, how long will it take for him to wake up?"
After untying the man, Pei Xingzhi took him to the guest room in the west wing.
Meng Wanqiu wanted to help him, but was rejected by Pei Xingzhi. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she felt anxious when she saw him, but he would not let Meng Wanqiu do any heavy work.
Although Meng Wanqiu didn't think it was a big deal, she still brought back an adult with a baby face today.
Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to self-destruct at this time.
Hearing Pei Xingzhi's words, Meng Wanqiu forced an ugly smile, "Tomorrow morning at the earliest?"
She never expected this incident to be so dramatic. Meng Wanqiu felt like someone was playing a trick on her.
Tomorrow morning?
Pei Xingzhi held up his chin and thought about how to solve this problem.
Baby Face is a good guy, so naturally he can't be dealt with. Moreover, he is a military man, so he can't stop talking. It seems that these secrets of Meng Wanqiu cannot be concealed no matter what.
How did Meng Wanqiu, a girl who grew up in a proper rural area, acquire these bizarre abilities? If she didn't come up with a reasonable explanation, she might be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Pei Xingzhi frowned. He had said before that he would not force Meng Wanqiu to reveal these secrets, but would wait for Meng Wanqiu to tell them voluntarily.
But now...
Meng Wanqiu looked cautiously at Pei Xingzhi, who was thinking silently with a serious face. Her heart skipped a beat and she unconsciously pulled his arm.
The movement of his hand brought Pei Xingzhi back to his senses. He paused for a moment, then immediately relaxed his expression and held Meng Wanqiu's hand tightly. He glanced at the baby-faced soldier lying on the bed, then pulled Meng Wanqiu out of the room.
When they arrived at the bedroom, Pei Xingzhi picked up Meng Wanqiu and sat her on the edge of the kang. He pulled over a chair and sat down. He looked up at Meng Wanqiu, his eyes sweeping across her delicate and beautiful outline, and finally met her smart black eyes that reflected the stars.
"Wanwan, what about this matter? It's simple, but it's also troublesome."
It's simple. With the identities of Pei Xingzhi, Song Zhen, Meng Mingxia and Meng Aiguo, there is no need to worry about what they will do to Meng Wanqiu.
However, if Meng Wanqiu cannot explain the origins of these strange skills, then Meng Wanqiu will most likely be monitored, and people like Meng Mingxia and Pei Xingzhi may also be affected.
The problem lies in how to reasonably explain what Meng Wanqiu has learned.
Pei Xingzhi analyzed the pros and cons of this matter to Meng Wanqiu. He didn't say anything else because he didn't want to force her, nor did he mention the possible impact on him so as not to burden her.
Meng Wanqiu pursed her lips, feeling extremely regretful. But regret was useless; the important thing was how to handle this matter properly.
"So, the key is where I learned these things from, and I want to explain the origins of these things, right?" Meng Wanqiu lowered her eyelids, feeling her hand being wrapped by Pei Xingzhi's big hand.
Pei Xingzhi held her hand tightly, "Yes."
Whether it was the current situation or the undercurrents beneath the apparent calm of the July 15 incident, Meng Wanqiu could not help but fool around.
Meng Wanqiu bit her lower lip and looked into Pei Xingzhi's deep eyes, in which her own figure was reflected, and her heart trembled violently.
"Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Pei Xingzhi's pupils trembled, but he did not question, "You say it, and I believe it."
The corners of Meng Wanqiu's mouth turned up, and her eyes became crescent-shaped. The light in the house reflected into her eyes, as if little stars were leaping into them.
She had believed in him a long time ago.
Meng Wanqiu told Pei Xingzhi about her past life experience. She was abandoned as a child and barely survived in a beggars' den. Later, she was captured by a killer organization.
The training in the organization, the dangers encountered during missions, the sightseeing and drinking tea in leisure time...
"Later, when I regained consciousness, I had become the daughter of the Meng family. When I was a child, something went wrong with my training, and I became stupid for more than ten years before I recovered."
Meng Wanqiu spoke calmly, without any sadness. When she talked about her experiences in her previous life, her memory gradually began to blur. When she talked about the leader of the organization, she couldn't even remember what he looked like.
Time is really a terrible thing.
Compared with Meng Wanqiu's indifference, Pei Xingzhi's reaction was much stronger.
Not only were his eyes red, but his breathing was also rapid, as if he was stimulated by something. He held Meng Wanqiu's hand tightly, resting his forehead on her knees. The heat from his nose penetrated the fabric and entered Meng Wanqiu's skin, causing her to shudder.
Although Meng Wanqiu's tone was flat, just from the words "beggar", "killer organization", "mission", etc., one could imagine what kind of life Meng Wanqiu had lived.
Thinking about the abilities that Meng Wanqiu had learned, not voluntarily but for self-protection, Pei Xing's heart almost broke, as if a piece of raw meat had been torn off by a wild beast.
He couldn't believe how much suffering and hardship Meng Wanqiu had endured to grow up in that cannibalistic era and society where human life was worthless.
Pei Xingzhi hugged Meng Wanqiu tightly in his arms, buried his head in her warm neck, and cried in his cold voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Pei Xingzhi's speech was incoherent at this time. Thinking that his beloved, the person he loved so much, had once suffered such pain, he felt heartbroken.
I can only say sorry and blame myself for not being able to protect her.
Even though he had no power to intervene in this matter, and they were not in the same time or even in the same space and time, Pei Xingzhi still felt distressed and guilty.
Feeling the scorching heat dripping onto her neck, Meng Wanqiu hugged his shoulders, her eyes warming. She had once thought those experiences were insignificant, but now, after feeling the taste of being loved, she realized that she, too, could feel pain.
"Okay, it's none of your business. It's all in the past." Meng Wanqiu held back her tears and patted Pei Xingzhi on the back. "Hurry up and let go. The little one in my belly is protesting."
Maybe I was holding her too tightly, pressing on her belly, and the little one inside started to make a fuss unhappily.
After hearing this, Pei Xingzhi reluctantly let go.
Meng Wanqiu looked at Pei Xingzhi's eyes, which were a little swollen. She felt both distressed and amused, and teased him, "You've been crying more and more recently. You cry more than me, right, crybaby?"
Pei Xingzhi didn't care about Meng Wanqiu's teasing at all. He was now filled with heartache for Meng Wanqiu.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard a gurgling sound in my ears.
It’s Meng Wanqiu’s belly.
Pei Xingzhi swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, then lowered his head to look at Meng Wanqiu's stomach.
Meng Wanqiu puffed out her stomach and said confidently, "I'm hungry."
Pei Xingzhi could only stand up and say, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
There was no way, both the big and the small were his treasures, and he would talk after filling the big treasure's stomach.
"Just noodles, quick."
"Okay, I'll make you two more fried eggs. Do you want some kimchi?"
"want!"
After Pei Xingzhi left, Meng Wanqiu slowly exhaled, touched her stomach, and said to herself, "You called out just in time! I'm running out of words to comfort you."
Meng Wanqiu knew that Pei Xingzhi loved her, but she did not resent her experiences in her previous life. Since she was reincarnated, she enjoyed the love of her parents and family.
Meng Wanqiu believed that there was cause and effect and reincarnation in this world. Perhaps it was because she suffered so much in her previous life that she was able to be reborn into her mother's womb, enjoy the love of her family, and meet Pei Xingzhi who loved her as much as his life.
Yes, I love her as much as my life.
Meng Wanqiu could feel Pei Xingzhi's passionate feelings for her, and he never concealed his love for her.
At every moment, Meng Wanqiu could feel the mellow aroma of the fine wine called love that Pei Xingzhi brewed for her.
That night, Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi thought of the next countermeasures. If anyone asked about the origin of Meng Wanqiu's learning of these things, they would put the blame on the old Taoist priest that Grandma Meng took Meng Wanqiu to visit.
The country is vast and has a large population. Trying to find an old Taoist priest from more than ten years ago is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Maybe the old Taoist priest has passed away. She still has some impression of him. She only remembers that he had white hair and a very long beard. When she was young, he was already very old.
"yawn--"
The old Taoist priest with white beard sneezed and rubbed his nose while on his way. "Which bastard cursed me? Pah, cursed this poor Taoist priest."
