The knocks on the door became more and more rapid.
The dim moonlight shone on Pei Zhuo, blurring his sharp, hard and wild features. He could vaguely see his thin lips, which were red, swollen and peeling, and were pursed in extreme unhappiness. In the darkness, only his long, dark eyes became clearer, and the impatience and irritation of being disturbed burned in his eyes.
"Who is it?" How dare you interrupt him and his wife! Pei Zhuo angrily stretched out his long arm and opened the door. Suddenly, his brows furrowed: "What are you doing here looking for my wife at this time of night?"
Before she could answer, a cute and breathless voice sounded.
"Pei Zhuo, wait for me." The air coming from behind was filled with Yuan Jiang's fragrance. Pei Zhuo heard her rapid breathing and footsteps, turned his head and saw Yuan Jiang's rosy little face.
Yuan Jiang trotted to Pei Zhuo's side, her white and tender long fingers grasped his hard and muscular arm, and her two slender white legs swayed briefly, half leaning on him, before she managed to stand firm.
"Who is it?" Yuan Jiang blinked and took a few quick breaths before looking up. Suddenly, she stopped and her beautiful eyes widened.
Who is this?
All he saw was a woman standing at the door, an extremely thin woman wearing a white patched dress. Her exposed limbs were so thin that the bones could be seen. Her eye sockets were sunken, and her skinny face had extremely prominent cheekbones. Her bangs were very long, covering most of her face. She raised her eyes, and her cold and dark gaze fell on Yuan Jiang through her bangs.
"Is this candy... yours?" The woman's voice was hoarse and dry, like an old sewing machine, making a sharp creaking sound. At the same time, a skinny, bony hand stretched out, and on the dark palm were three White Rabbit milk candies.
Yuan Jiang pursed her red lips and looked at the child from the daytime behind the woman. "Xiaogou", so this woman must be Xiaogou's mother Pei Rong.
The woman who went crazy after being abandoned by a male educated youth.
You come here late at night to return the candy to her?
"It's mine." She answered with her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
Pei Rong narrowed her eyes, her cloudy and sharp gaze glued to her, madness and jealousy swirling in her eyes. Suddenly, Pei Zhuo pulled Yuan Jiang behind him, and his angry eyes met hers: "What's the matter?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and her expression suddenly turned grim. She turned her head away stiffly, her face tightened with sarcasm and hatred: "You are... an educated youth?"
Yuan Jiang was puzzled and stuck most of her face out from behind Pei Zhuo. "What do you want?"
"I..." Pei Rong let out a strange, low laugh from her throat, and stretched out her hand again, staring at Yuan Jiang with squinted eyes: "I'll return the candy to you."
"Zhiqing...Zhiqing is great, what a pretty girl."
She murmured hoarsely, repeating over and over again, "So he is an educated youth."
"You're crazy enough to come and give me candies in the middle of the night? You can't give them during the day? What if you scare my wife?!" Pei Zhuo frowned unhappily, stretched out his big hand and snatched the three candies from Pei Rong's palm. He looked at them twice with curiosity. These were his wife's candies!
It looks delicious even if you don’t eat it!
Pei Rong did not reply, her eyes fixed on Yuan Jiang with a sinister look. The dog standing next to her said nothing, his bony face hidden in the darkness, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
One big and one small, they exude an eerie and strange aura.
Yuan Jiang's thoughts were in disarray, and he always felt something was strange, but he had no idea what to do.
Pei Rong pulled the dog and smiled at Pei Zhuo: "Then we'll leave first."
