Chapter 60 Pei Jian is still a romantic

Gu Ci had another fight with Pei Jian last night.

They were breathing heavily and hating each other, wishing they could use ten times their strength to beat the other person until he fell to the ground.

It is naturally depressing and sad to see your best friend become like this.

A feeling of desolation and loneliness arises in my heart.

However, on his way back in the dark night, he recalled his childhood with Pei Yan.

Two equally brilliant and dazzling young men, happy and carefree, hanging out together. Perhaps it is because they are close friends and have similar personalities that they fall in love with the same girl.

Gu Ci still couldn't understand why Pei Jian, with his personality, would fall in love with a girl at first sight. He was such a calm, even cold-blooded person.

He could sense that Pei Jian's feelings for Nian Xi were not inferior to his. Or perhaps they were deeper and more complicated.

Gu Ci was willing to share everything with Pei Jian, except Nian Xi.

But in this world, there is only one poor and lovely Nian Xi.

He learned to remain calm and face it calmly.

But he still didn't want to mention Pei Jian in front of Nian Xi. This was a man's selfishness.

He didn't want Nianxi to have any trace of Pei Yan in her heart, not even disgust.

Nian Xi looked at the wound, frowned and asked, "Have you applied the medicine?"

Gu Ci rolled down his sleeves and buttoned them up, his face still relaxed, "This little injury is nothing to me, don't worry."

Nian Xi nodded and changed the subject, "Didn't we agree to go to Nanshi to play football today? Let's go."

"... Another day." Pei Jian's attack was extremely heavy-handed. He felt sore all over today that he had difficulty getting on the horse and couldn't even hold the golf club.

Nian Xi looked at him and asked seriously, "Didn't you say everything was fine?"

Gu Ci realized it belatedly and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"

"They are just superficial wounds. They look scary." He then explained, "I don't want you to worry."

Nian Xi responded, "So I will do as you wish and pretend nothing happened."

Seeing her like this, Gu Ci felt a little regretful and said cautiously, "Then you can't not worry about me at all."

"That's too much, Gu Xiaoliu," Nian Xi glanced at him, a little smile appeared in her eyes, "This is too embarrassing."

Gu Ci heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her smile. He imitated Nian Xi's usual coquettish behavior, hooked her little finger and shook it, and said pitifully, "I'm afraid you're too worried, but I'm also afraid you're not worried at all. I promise that next time I won't hide anything from you."

Nian Xi reached out and rubbed his head, "Do you want to apply medicine to the wound?"

Pei Jian was mad, and his words were pitiful. Judging from the condition of the wound, it was likely that no medicine was applied.

Gu Ci hesitated, "Some of the injuries are on my chest and abdomen, so it's not convenient for me to show them to you."

In fact, his body was well-proportioned, plump and strong, and he really wanted to show it to Nianxi. However, this was in the Wen Mansion, and even if he had ten times the courage, he didn't dare to do it.

"You wish~"

The two agreed to go to the city's medical clinic first to get medicine for Gu Ci, and then go to Fanlou to eat sea bass stew.

When they arrived at the clinic, there were many people inside and the doctor refused to ask her to accompany him, so Nianxi just waited in the car.

Who knew that after a while, someone knocked on the car window, "Is that Miss Wen in there? I'm your brother's classmate, Qin Lang."

Nian Xi opened the car curtain and saw Qin Lang standing in front of the car. Next to him stood an old man carrying a medicine box, who looked like a doctor.

"Mr. Qin." Nian Xi nodded but did not get out of the car.

She had met Qin Lang several times, but they were not very familiar with each other.

Qin Lang is as straightforward as his name suggests. "Just now, when I saw it from a distance, I felt that this carriage was familiar. I didn't expect it to be the carriage of the Wen family. But is there anyone sick in the family?"

Nian Xi shook her head and pointed at the clinic, saying, "Gu Ci is inside."

"That's really a coincidence." Qin Lang sighed, "How come these two people got sick at the same time?"

Seeing that Nianxi didn't respond, Qin Lang didn't feel embarrassed and explained himself, "I'm here to ask for a doctor, too. Pei Jian is Qingye's good friend. You saw him at Qingshui Pavilion last time on Valentine's Day. He's also sick."

"He is completely delirious, sick and confused, talking nonsense. And he is not allowed to call a doctor."

"He was alone, and there was no one at home to take care of him. The housekeeper was so worried that she came to me. I didn't know anything about medicine, so I had to ask the doctor to come and see him."

As he spoke, he quietly observed Nianxi's reaction.

But after finishing the series of words, Nian Xi remained calm. She did not try to avoid suspicion and said openly, "Then please ask the doctor to come and check your pulse. People who are sick always feel uncomfortable."

Qin Lang couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It's not that he is morally corrupt and wants to help Pei Jian to break through the wall of Gu Ci.

In fact, Pei Jian's situation was indeed miserable.

Qin Lang and Pei Jian were both in Beijing and had known each other since childhood. Pei Jian was a man of great appearance and vision at a young age. No matter where he was, he was always calm and sophisticated, and no longer looked depressed like he is now.

There were also bruises and purple patches all over his face.

Apparently he was beaten up again.

Why didn't I see before that Pei Jian is actually a romantic man? !

Qin Lang felt that if Nian Xi was a little moved, Pei Shizhang would not seem so pitiful.

But--

Alas, what a bad fate.

However, this further reflects the character of my sister, who deserves such love and respect.

He did not argue any further, just asked a few more questions and then took the doctor away.

Gu Ci did not meet Qin Lang, so he had no idea that Pei Jian was ill. After leaving the clinic, he and Nian Xi went to Fanlou for dinner as usual.

As for Pei Jian's illness, only a ripple passed through Nian Xi's heart, but she soon calmed down.
