Chapter 36 Give it back to me!
Before Andy could accuse Peggy, his laptop started humming.
When he saw the name, his body stiffened, and he mechanically turned his head to look at Pei Ji, lowering his voice, "Good brother, can you help me connect the communication?"
If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of pleading in Andy's tone.
Pei Ji was happy. As far as he knew, there was only one person who could make him show such an expression.
"Is it your dear fiancée who is looking for you? I can't help you with that~"
Peggy shrugged, patted Andy's shoulder sympathetically, and said honestly with a helpless yet somewhat gloating expression, "I can't beat her~"
Andy: “…”
This is really unreliable!
"Don't answer it?" Peiji raised an eyebrow, a smile on his face, "It would be even worse if you don't answer the call~"
Andy gritted his teeth and wanted to slap Peggy in the face!
In the end, he answered the call with a numb look on his face, and even turned down the volume before answering.
But it was obvious that lowering the volume of the person on the other end was useless.
"Why did you take so long to answer the call? Are you itching for trouble again?"
"Tell me! Where have you been these past few days? I said I'd be back today, and you promised to pick me up. Where are you now? Andy, you're amazing, you're really good. Are you at Page's place now? Absolutely fine. Stay right there and wait for me to show you how I'm going to deal with you!"
"Youyou, listen to my explanation!" Andy couldn't maintain his gentle personality at this moment. "Don't hang up yet, I can explain it, I can explain it!"
But the irritable woman on the other end hung up the phone without mercy.
"It's over..." Andy looked desperate, shrugging his head to show his liveliness. "It's over. No, I need to go out and take shelter first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out of the villa, quickly got on the hovercraft, and sped away.
Pei Ji: “…”
Serves him right! Look at how cowardly he is. Didn't he threaten him just now? Why is he running away with his tail between his legs now?
Pei Ji snorted coldly, turned around and walked upstairs, and went straight into the room where Bai Guo slept. It turned out that this was his room!
Bai Guo's face on the bed was not as pale as before. Pei Ji bent down and put the back of her hand against her forehead. Her body temperature was still low, but no longer like a big ice cube.
Pei Ji sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Bai Guo with a complicated look. What he was sure of now was that this cub was not a human. At least the human body's protection mechanism would not stop the pulse, heartbeat, and breathing, and drop the body temperature to the lowest. Plus, could a normal human cub eat so much?
Even the mecha warrior with the highest mental power doesn't eat half as much as she does, and he doesn't understand some common sense. Sometimes what he says and does is strange. Apart from looking like a human, many of his concepts are not in line with humans.
Pei Ji picked up Bai Guo's chubby little hand and placed it in his palm to observe carefully. It was indeed a human hand. The cub's hand was so small and soft. He secretly stroked it twice before putting the little hand into the quilt.
Taking advantage of the quietness at home, Pei Ji turned on the light brain, ignored the abusive messages that kept popping up, and dialed Ji Xingyao's private number.
Apart from this normal person, it is a bit difficult to contact the other two. The main brain still needs to come forward, Pei Ji thought.
Ji Xingyao, who had just finished filming and was about to take a shower, heard his private computer ringing. He looked and saw that it was an unknown communication. Who leaked his private communication?
Ji Xingyao thought about it and picked up the phone.
"who?"
"Bell Page, you are Ji Xingyao himself, right?"
"I wonder what the eldest young master of the Bell family wants from a little actor like me?"
Hearing this, Pei Ji sneered and said sarcastically, "Stop pretending. What the hell do I know about you? You're not even willing to change your surname, Ji. Why are you pretending to be such an actor? Don't talk nonsense to me. Have you read the information I sent you?"
“I haven’t seen it. Who knows what kind of virus it is.”
"Okay, if you don't want to see it, then don't. You won't be able to escape in three months. Now I just want to ask you one question. Have you ever been seriously injured or on the verge of death?"
When Ji Xingyao heard this, he paused holding the teacup and uttered two words softly: "No."
"You hesitated,"
Without waiting for Pei Ji to continue, Ji Xingyao hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. If Pei Ji hadn't mentioned the word "near death" today, he would have almost forgotten it.
It happened so long ago, and he was too young to remember anything at the time. The fact that he suddenly remembered it can only mean that the incident left an indelible shadow on the little boy.
How did Peggy know that he was near death? No one except his family should know about this.
Unable to figure it out, Ji Xingyao decided not to think about it anymore. What would it matter if he knew?
There was a sound of water trickling from the bathroom.
Peiji's lips curled up when he got the answer. He had indeed experienced near-death experiences? It was obvious that the other two had been in the same situation.
So, Baiguo... is really their savior?
Pei Ji still didn't want to believe it. She was only three years old. How could she save her?
"Are you really not human?" Peiji murmured to Baiguo, "How did you save us?"
Baiguo frowned in his sleep, feeling very hot. He unconsciously kicked off the quilt, put his legs on Pei Ji's knees, and talked in his sleep.
"Give me back my tree's heartblood..."
"What?" Peiji leaned closer to Baiguo, wanting to hear more clearly, "What blood did you say?"
"Give it back to me! That's my blood!"
"Your blood?" Page asked again.
"My blood..."
Pei Ji: “…”
What kind of bloody dream was this? Who stole her blood?
But as a cub, sometimes you still need to coax it. Peiji was unusually gentle: "No one will take your blood. Go back to sleep."
Baiguo suddenly sat up from the bed, and when she saw that Peiji was so close to her, she reacted violently and stepped back.
"What do you want to do? Do you want my blood again? I'm telling you, I don't have any! You'll die if you take it from me again!"
Baiguo, who suddenly woke up, also scared Pei Ji.
"What blood? When have I ever taken your blood?" Pei Ji stretched out his hand, trying to test whether Bai Guo had a fever, but his hand was instantly waved away.
Is he sleepwalking? Such a strong reaction? Could it be the aftereffects of that potion?
Pei Ji turned on the light brain and prepared to ask the former dean how to treat this sequelae.
"Peji?" Bai Guo tilted his head and called out.
"Awake?"
"What's wrong with me? I feel really bad."
Baiguo rubbed his temples and felt something was wrong with his whole body, especially his head, which hurt so much, as if something wanted to drill out of his head.
"Why don't we go to the hospital?"
Pei Ji found that Bai Guo looked like he had been fished out of the water. He looked fragile and vulnerable, completely different from his previous sharp-tongued and lively character that could make people angry to death.
"Yes!" Bai Guo stretched out his hands without thinking, obviously asking for a hug.
Pei Ji: “…”
Does he hug or not?
