Chapter 14 You are greedy for his body!

That night, fireworks were set off on Dongcheng Mountain for a long time.

This is the romance that Gu Ci gave to Nian Xi.

He originally wanted to express his feelings to Nianxi under the fireworks, and it would be a beautiful memory for them together in the future.

But he underestimated the hostility and determination of a brother who was obsessed with his sister.

Not to mention asking Nianxi to leave later, it was just past noon and Wen Qingheng was already urging Li to go home.

Gu Ci had no choice but to put his worries aside for the time being and personally send the person back home.

This action obviously hurt Wen Qingheng again, and he was picky about him on the way. Fortunately, Mrs. Li was kind and Nianxi was even more gentle.

So instead of being angry about the resignation, he cherished it even more, "I have guests at home, I have to go home first."

Nian Xi nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is your first day in office, don't drink too much."

Earlier at Gu's house, she heard Qin Lang yelling that he wanted to force Gu Ci to drink, so she gave him this warning.

After I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong.

Such homely words sound especially intimate when spoken.

Gu Ci was quite impressed. His eyes lit up, his ears turned red, and he quickly agreed. He almost raised his hand and swore that if he drank one more glass today, he would be struck by lightning.

Nian Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li had gone in earlier, and Wen Qingheng stood there like a door god, staring at the two people in front of him with a gloomy expression.

Gu Ci wanted to say a few more words, but with such a huge living Buddha standing beside him, he could only give a few words of advice and then left.

Wen Qingheng was waiting on the side, already having a lot of things to say to Nian Xi.

But Nianxi had not yet recovered from her encounter with Pei Jian and the fact that Pei Jian was close to Gu Ci. She could not concentrate and spoke absentmindedly. When Wen Qingheng asked her urgently, she said she had a headache and led the two maids back to her room.

Wen Qingheng couldn't do anything about his sister, so he turned around and went back to the main courtyard.

Who knew his mother was more reasonable than him, "What's wrong with Gu Liulang? In terms of family background, character, and talent, you won't find another one like him in the whole capital even if you light a lantern. What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Why did I tell you in advance? So that you can break them up? As a brother, I don't want to wish my sister the best. I'm just causing trouble all the time."

"What did he lie to you about? He was just afraid that you would object and sabotage it. I think his idea is right and he has a plan to succeed."

Wen Qingheng: ...

Wen Qingheng couldn't handle his sister, and couldn't convince his mother. He couldn't afford to offend any of the women in the family, big or small, so he could only hold his anger in his heart.

Until I saw the fireworks in the sky——

It turned out that Qin Lang and he had been busy for half the morning, looking for a location and checking the layout, only to find something to appease his sister!

He couldn't stay in this house for a moment and returned to the Imperial College overnight.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Pei Jian standing in the yard, looking up at the fireworks in the eastern sky.

Blocked by the city tower, only a small part of it can be seen from here.

As for the view, it had to be the courtyard of his house, which had an unparalleled viewing angle. Before he came out, even the servants in the house all ran out to exclaim in amazement.

Wen Qingheng cursed Gu Ci in his heart for being insidious.

The courtyard was dark except for the stars in the sky and the fireworks. Wen Qingheng didn't see Qin Lang, nodded to Pei Jian, and planned to go back to his room, out of sight, out of mind.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Pei Jian, who was usually cold and taciturn, suddenly asked him, "Why are you here so late?"

Wen Qingheng was stunned.

He had lived here for almost two months, but he was not familiar with Pei Jian. Pei Jian was not as loud as Qin Lang, nor as cheerful and talkative as Gu Ci. He was always cold and calm, as pure and cold as white snow, and exuded a strong aura that kept strangers away.

Just now, I saw Pei Jian standing alone in the courtyard. The fireworks shone on his forehead for a long time, like frost falling on his brows, and the shadow was thick. He didn't say a word, but he looked very desolate.

Wen Qingheng didn't dare to disturb him.

He had always admired Pei Jian's talent and had always felt close to him. Now that Pei Jian asked him questions, he could not stop talking.

What's more, he was already feeling depressed.

"It's all because of my sister." Wen Qingheng immediately turned around and stood with Pei Jian, saying bitterly, "You saw what happened today. My sister was bewitched by Gu Ci."

"I was taking the exam, but she went to ask for a visa and insisted on resigning to go with me. Isn't this hurting my heart?"

"The most annoying thing is my mother. I told her about the viciousness of the censorship, but she didn't listen to me at all. Instead, she kept making excuses for the censorship."

"And the fireworks were specially prepared by Gu Ci for my sister! When I left, she was sitting in the porch and watching them with great interest!"

Wen Qingheng was filled with sorrow, worrying about his own juicy cabbages, but he didn't notice the increasingly cold expressions of the people around him.

"Although it's wrong for Qingye to hide it from you, he seems to be sincere to your sister." Most of Pei Jian's body was hidden in the darkness, and his voice was light, like the sound of a cold jade chime.

"Who wouldn't like my sister!" Wen Qingheng said righteously.

Whenever he thought of the time when he and Qin Lang had joked about Gu Ci's "little cousin", he felt sick to his stomach.

"Gu Ci knew that I was Nian'er's brother, yet he still said those dirty words in front of me. What a mean character!"

Nian'er is still young, all those stinky men should die!

Pei Jian said calmly, "I think Miss Wen is not unreasonable. If you think it's inappropriate, you might as well persuade her again."

Wen Qingheng smiled bitterly, "My lips are almost worn out, my sister is good at coming up with little ideas."

Pei Jian looked ahead and said, "Why not find someone who you think has a decent character to guide your sister from the side?"

Wen Qingheng's eyes lit up, but then he was troubled again, "This is a good idea, but who should I invite?"

Pei Jian: "How is your father? Wen Siye is a knowledgeable gentleman, and he is also Miss Wen's father..."

Wen Qingheng shook his head, "No, no, my father can't do anything with Nian'er."

Pei Jian stopped talking and looked up at the sky. The fireworks were magnificent and gorgeous.

Wen Qingheng realized it later and felt a little embarrassed. He complained to Pei Jian all night, but Pei Jian was not annoyed and even gave him some advice, but he was still finding fault.

Regardless of anything else, Pei Jian is truly a good person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

Although Gu Ci was his good friend, he was rarely biased.

This shows his high character.

As he thought about this, he suddenly had an idea. "Shi Zhang, I have an unwelcome request. Can you please go to my house and persuade my sister?"

…

Nianxi watched the fireworks in the middle of the night last night and got up a little late this morning.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li loved her and said that girls aged fifteen or sixteen are sleepy and are not bound by etiquette. She did not require her to visit him every morning and evening.

When Nianxi got up in the morning and was dressing herself up and putting on her earrings, she remembered the big box of jewelry she had given away yesterday, so she told Xingyue, "Ask the doorman to get a carriage, and we'll go to the Treasure Pavilion later."

Running a pulp stall, she now had some spare money and naturally didn't want to treat herself badly.

But before she could go out, she was stopped by her brother.

What was even more unexpected to her was that the person traveling with her brother was actually Pei Jian!

It's really weird.

Nian Xi retracted her gaze and asked, "Brother is not studying at the Imperial College at the moment, why did you suddenly come back?"

Wen Qingheng waved his hand, "It's not important."

Thanks to Pei Jian, who had a great reputation in the Imperial College, they were able to excel on the day they entered the university.

But of course my sister doesn’t need to know this.

Pei Jian was kind enough to accept his request. He probably suggested it because he saw that he was worried. "Since you want to persuade him, it's better to do it as soon as possible. Qingye has already taken up his post."

Wen Qingheng's heart immediately sank.

He almost forgot this -

The Imperial College only has one day off every ten days, so he can't go out, but Gu Ci can come and go in the Wen Mansion at any time!

My mother was happy to see this happen, but my father couldn't persuade her and my sister!

"Have you understood what I told you yesterday?" Wen Qingheng immediately pulled his sister over and said earnestly, "Brother is doing this for your own good."

Nian Xi could never have imagined that her elder brother couldn't even go to school just to quit his job!

She restrained her gaze from looking towards Pei Yan, and said helplessly, "Brother, you are prejudiced."

Wen Qingheng sighed: "You have been blinded by Gu Ci's beauty!"

Nianxi: ...

"I know you like handsome men. I'm telling you, there are many outstanding men in the capital."

Wen Qingheng was sure that Nianxi was mesmerized by her beauty. "Pointing at Pei Jian behind him, not to mention those far away, Pei Langjun who lives with my brother is no less handsome and dignified than Gu Ci!"

Nianxi: ...

Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
