Chapter 96: Three Folds, No Matter How You Fold It, There Is Still a Face
"I'll let you go for now!"
Si Qian spared Pei Yi, who was shivering under the dining table.
Pei Tianming and Ye Tinglan were taken back to the room by several family doctors for examination.
In the blink of an eye, she and Pei Li were the only ones left in the huge restaurant.
Si Qian sat in his seat, looked at the table full of Manchu and Han banquet, picked up his chopsticks and started eating as if no one was around.
Pei Li saw her eating calmly, and after struggling for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you hit him?"
"What's wrong? Are you jealous because I didn't hit him?"
Si Qian swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Pei Li with some surprise and asked.
“A little.”
Pei Li was stunned for a moment when his little thoughts were exposed, and then turned his head away awkwardly.
"You used to hit everyone except me, why didn't you hit him today?"
It feels like something that belongs to me has been taken away by someone else.
"Is it something to be proud of and show off that I didn't hit you?"
"Isn't it?"
After hearing this, Si Qian couldn't help but start to reflect on whether she had been too bad to him before, to the point that he felt that it was a great blessing for him as long as she didn't hit him.
Si Qian sighed: "I didn't hit him because my hand hurt a little."
As soon as he finished explaining, Pei Li, who had been listless, immediately stood up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up a little.
"I have medicine!"
"What a coincidence! I'm sick!"
After dinner, Pei Li took Si Qian upstairs to apply medicine.
Passing by Pei Tianming's bedroom, Si Qian stretched his neck to look inside, and Pei Li simply brought him in.
As soon as Si Qian stepped into Pei Tianming's bedroom, her vision suddenly darkened.
The bedroom is painted in a dull and depressing black. The large black and gold bed is made to look like a tiger's tongue. The three-dimensional ebony-carved tiger head almost merges with the ceiling. When people lie on the bed, it is like lying in the mouth of a tiger with its mouth wide open and bloody.
The two teeth on the upper jaw are light bulbs, and the two teeth on the lower jaw are made into the shape of bedposts, which looks very visually impactful.
Si Qian swallowed her saliva. No wonder even the overbearing CEO suffered from insomnia. Who could sleep like this?
If I get up at night and go to the bathroom in the dark, I might accidentally hit the two teeth at the end of the bed and I would probably die.
"What are you looking at?"
"No wonder you overbearing CEOs all like cozy little houses. Turns out you were raised to be scared."
She would call it the tetanus bed.
“…”
The family doctor went in and out, examining Pei Tianming with various instruments.
"hiss--"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Seeing the doctor frowning, Pei Tianming thought something serious was wrong with his body and immediately became nervous.
"Mr. Pei, the preliminary examination shows that there is nothing wrong with your body. Do you feel that your cervical spine is more relaxed than before?"
After saying this, Pei Tianming touched the back of his neck: "It's true!"
"That's right."
The doctor carefully put away his instruments and replied, "You had your bones corrected by a Chinese doctor."
"That's not—"
Before he could finish his words, Si Qian appeared from behind Pei Li and spoke with a smile.
"Yes, I straightened Mr. Pei's bones today."
The moment Pei Tianming saw Si Qian, the uncontrollable anger in his heart surged up.
"Get it out of me...ah, it hurts!"
Click——
Si Qian rushed forward and twisted his neck twice.
The sound sounded like treetree.
"Mr. Pei, I didn't hit you on purpose today. I just wanted to straighten your bones."
"I noticed early on that you had insomnia. After the bone-setting and relaxation, I promise you'll have a good night's sleep tonight."
Si Qianxiao was so flawless that Pei Tianming had a moment of self-doubt.
He touched his neck and it indeed felt much better than before.
"real"
“It’s covered!”
After saying that, Si Qian took out the gift he had prepared for Pei Tianming from behind.
"This is"
"You'll see for yourself."
Pei Tianming took the gift from Si Qian and took a look at it——
"wallet"
"Please take a closer look."
Pei Tianming opened the wallet and saw that his own photo was printed on each side of the genuine leather folding wallet.
"The wallet is so big and so thin!"
"It can be folded like this, folded like this, folded like this, and looked at like this..."
“Tri-fold, amazing!”
Pei Tianming began to doubt his life when he held the wallet with his photo printed on it.
Pei Li was very supportive: "It's three-fold, so it always has surface no matter how you fold it!"
The doctor went out trying to hold back his laughter.
The old butler, who was about to enter the room, heard this and quietly retreated. He found an empty corner and almost burst out laughing.
…
After returning to the room, Pei Li took out the ointment from the bedside drawer and applied it to Si Qian.
"When will you be able to straighten your bones?"
"Hey! I taught myself!"
In fact, she did beat Pei Tianming just now, but she was holding back.
This is called giving a slap in the face first and then giving a sweet date.
"By the way, why didn't you fight back when they said that to you just now?"
"They will be beaten and have their ancestral hall shut down."
Pei Li sat next to Si Qian, lowered his head to apply the ointment for her and rubbed it gently on her wrist. He spoke in a calm tone as if answering a question about tomorrow's weather.
Si Qian fell silent and asked tentatively: "Did they... beat you often in the past?"
"Um."
She suddenly remembered the description of the villain in the book -
As a child, he was like a despised, abandoned animal, wary and cautious of everyone. He struggled to survive amidst the intrigues and schemes of his family. Various conspiracies and plots made him closed off and extremely paranoid...
Just as Pei Li lowered his head to rub her wrist, he suddenly felt a shadow falling on his head.
Before he could react, Si Qian gave him a warm hug.
Thinking that he had suffered the same fate as him in his previous life, he spoke out to comfort Pei Li.
"It's okay. My parents have beaten me before."
"But I'm lucky enough not to be aborted, hehe."
Pei Li: ""
No, his emotions were just brewing.
"It's getting late, go to bed."
After saying that, Si Qian yawned, let go of the hand that was holding Pei Li, and stood up to go back to the guest room next door.
Pei Li's mind was racing as he was about to be abandoned right after falling in love.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid of the dark. Can I sleep in your room? I can even sleep on the floor."
After searching for a long time, I finally found a lame excuse.
Even the dog shook its head when it heard this.
"You're afraid of the dark"
"Afraid!"
"Wait!"
Five minutes later—
The sound of roosters crowing was heard outside.
The old housekeeper, who had just closed his eyes in bed, felt his eyelids light up. He opened his eyes and looked out the window, which was as bright as day.
He jumped up in fright.
"It's dawn!"
Pei Tianming, who was still asleep, was pulled up by the housekeeper.
"Sir, it's time to go to work!"
Pei Tianming, who was almost asleep, checked the time.
1:30 in the morning.
"Are you sick?"
He stared at the butler with his eyes wide open and his fists stiffened.
