Chapter 126
Tan Huiya was stunned at first, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Shen Yizhi's brain was working rapidly, "Just... suddenly curious."
"It's better not to be curious about this matter." Tan Huiya patted the back of her hand and said it very tactfully.
Since Shen Yizhi came to ask, she didn’t plan to go back empty-handed, “Mommy, tell me about it.”
Afraid of not being able to pry her open, she even said something more serious: "This concerns Pei Shanshan's mental health! Mommy, just tell me."
Tan Huiya's expression suddenly changed, "Did something happen to Xiao He?"
Shen Yizhi looked at her as if she was about to rush to the hospital in the next second, and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's just some psychological problems, it's not a big deal."
I hope it’s not a big deal.
Tan Huiya breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the blue sky after the rain for a long time, and then took Chen Yizhi's hand to sit in the courtyard.
She sighed silently and said gently, "Mommy will only say it once, listen carefully."
Shen Yizhi supported his chin with both hands, with a serious expression on his face, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Tan Huiya said slowly, "When Xiao He was ten years old, your Aunt Wen happened to be pregnant with her second child."
As soon as she heard the words, Shen Yizhi was stunned. It turned out that Pei Yanhe had an unborn brother or sister?
"Don't be distracted." Tan Huiya tapped her forehead.
Shen Yizhi groaned in pain, "I know, I'm listening."
Tan Huiya continued, “But it was also because of this second child that your Aunt Wen lost her life.
The weather that day was the same as yesterday, with heavy rain coming suddenly and violently.
It happened that at that time, the Pei family's driver and nanny were sent out to pick up little Pei Yanhe from school.
Unexpectedly, her due date was brought forward.”
At first she thought it was just a normal rupture of amniotic fluid, but later the strong smell of blood gradually permeated the rain and fog, which turned out to be a sign of heavy bleeding.
Her body temperature dropped little by little, her limbs became weak, and she didn't even have the strength to stand. The blood under her body was like a rainstorm outside, pouring down non-stop.
She called Pei Qingnian, but he happened to be in a meeting at the time and didn't have his cell phone with him, so he missed the call.
When she wanted to call the emergency number again, she started to feel dizzy and her phone fell to the ground.
Not long after, Pei Yanhe returned home and saw her fainted on the ground, with a pool of blood under her legs that could not be wiped off, which was shocking.
The nanny and the driver struggled to lift her into the car and headed for the hospital.
But the reality is never satisfactory. On the way to the hospital, she died of excessive blood loss.
At that time, ten-year-old Pei Yanhe was beside his mother, watching her die in front of him.
The rainstorm silently swallowed up everyone on that rainy night, and the lingering smell of blood in the air also dissipated.
Cruel and ruthless.
…
After listening to the entire story, Shen Yizhi took three minutes to digest it.
So Pei Yanhe is afraid of rainy days because his mother died on a rainy day.
When he was ten years old, he suddenly became silent and didn't like to talk. It was also because of self-blame. He blamed himself for his mother's death because the nanny driver went to pick him up.
He considered himself an indirect perpetrator.
From beginning to end, Pei Yanhe never got out of that rainy season.
He wouldn't let himself go.
-
Return to the room.
Shen Yizhi buried himself in the quilt, his mind a mess, like a tangled ball of wool, not knowing where to start.
The phone on the side vibrated twice.
It’s news about Chen Jinyang.
【My knowledge is very one-sided】
【Have you found out there? 】
Shen Yizhi turned over, holding up the phone and facing the ceiling, and replied: [I found out, leave it to me, let me try]
Chen Jinyang: [Okay, I'll go inform Shang Kuoheng then.]
What branches does the tree have: [good]
Turning around, Shen Yizhi sent another message to Pei Yanhe.
Are you still in the hospital?
It stopped raining outside and the sky began to clear up.
Is he still in the hospital?
The opponent responded almost instantly.
The Invincible and Annoying Pei 33: [Discharged]
The extremely annoying Pei 33: [In the exhibition hall? I came to find you?]
What branches does the tree bear: [I am at home]
What branches does the tree have: [Wait for me in the exhibition hall, I'll be there soon]
Immediately, Shen Yizhi stood up and began to search for something in the desk in the room.
After a long time, I finally found paper and pen.
I buried my head and wrote on the paper, back and forth, and finally wasted several sheets of paper. I racked my brains so hard that several strands of hair fell out.
It took her an hour to pick up the white paper covered with words, read it over and over again, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Place the stack of paper in the envelope.
Hurried out the door.
-
Exhibition hall.
Pei Yanhe arrived long time ago and walked around the place three times by himself.
People were coming and going around him, and he was squeezed in the crowd, with the sound of discussions about Shen Yizhi filling his ears.
The feeling is very subtle.
It's like a star hidden under dark clouds in the night sky, suddenly breaking through the clouds and becoming the brightest one.
He didn't want to take it for himself, he just wanted to submit to it.
After the third circle, Pei Yanhe finally stood tall in the center, and an oil painting was hung on the wall that was originally empty.
He stared at it for a long time.
"Wow, is this Ocean's wife's new work? This is the first time I've seen her draw people! What a beautiful painting!"
"I feel like this painting is different from her previous styles. It seems...it adds a different kind of emotion."
"There are one, two, three, four... there seem to be more than a dozen people on it. Is this a family painting?"
…
"Pei Shanshan, what are you looking at for so long?"
Pei Yanhe turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing her attire, he couldn't help laughing: "Are you a thief?"
She was wearing a loose hooded sweatshirt, the hood covering half of her face, and she kept her head down, looking guilty and afraid to look anyone in the eye.
"I'm not afraid of being recognized and disturbing everyone's appreciation of the work." Shen Yizhi was in great pain.
Hearing this, Pei Yanhe pulled the brim of her hat down a little lower.
Her vision was completely blocked, and Shen Yizhi thought he was playing a prank and tried to break free.
His very faint voice sounded above his head.
"Don't move, there are more people."
In the quiet exhibition hall, the footsteps coming and going are getting heavier.
Shen Yizhi lowered his head, and in the small space of his vision, he indeed saw the crowded crowd passing by.
She was stunned.
A muffled laugh seemed to come from the nose of the person beside me.
Shen Yizhi elbowed him and warned him seriously: "Don't laugh!"
Pei Yanhe did not smile anymore, but where she could not see, the corners of his mouth were always raised.
"You've been so busy in the studio these days that you can't tell day from night, just to finish this painting?"
He raised his head and nodded, gazing at the dazzling sea of flowers in front of him, his voice sounding flat.
Shen Yizhi lowered his eyes to look at his toes, realizing which painting he was talking about. "Yes, it's this one."
After a pause, she said with anticipation, "Do you see the secret?"
He did not answer immediately, but stared at it for a long time.
Then he whispered, "Inside, there are all of us."
