"cough--"
Huo Tingxiao frowned slightly, coughed lightly to bring Pei Zhiming back to his senses, and at the same time, he unconsciously turned his body to the side to block Pei Zhiming's view.
"Hmm, my sister-in-law looks a bit like someone I knew before, so much so that I was a little distracted."
Pei Zhiming explained.
The delicate little girl in front of him looked a lot like a friend he used to know. That friend also had a younger sister, and that guy doted on that sister.
Now that he saw Wen Xingyue, he felt that her eyebrows and eyes were nine-tenths similar, which is why he was so distracted.
[Huh? The person in front of me said that there is someone who looks like me. Little Peach Blossom Fairy is so beautiful, is there anyone in this world who looks like me?]
But looking at Pei Zhiming… ugh, there is indeed an inexplicable causal thread wrapped around his body, seemingly intertwined with the little peach blossom spirit, yet it's not a real causal thread? Why is that?
While Pei Zhiming was sizing up Wen Xingyue, Wen Xingyue was also sizing him up.
She was happy to hear that he knew someone who looked like her.
Wen Xingyue has never met anyone in this world who looks like her.
She frowned slightly, staring intently at Pei Zhiming.
She felt that she was somewhat connected to this person, but not really connected; it was more like some kind of medium.
Wen Xingyue can see other people's fates, but not her own. Pei Zhiming's appearance made her see something related to herself, but upon closer inspection, Pei Zhiming was not really related to her. She could only say that he had some connection to her, but not much.
Upon hearing his words, Huo Tingxiao seemed to think of something and looked at Wen Xingyue.
Xingyue is not Wen's biological daughter.
Pei Zhiming isn't the type to easily lose focus when he sees someone, so the fact that he could see Xingyue lose focus suggests that they really do look alike.
Suddenly, a sound rang in Pei Zhiming's ears, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
The surprised gaze fell on Wen Xingyue.
He just heard a sound.
Pei Zhiming looked surprised. Huo Tingxiao had been observing his condition for a while and noticed his abnormality. He shook his head at him without making a sound.
Having known each other for many years, Pei Zhiming quickly suppressed his surprise.
...
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for taking care of Grandpa these past few days. I bought you a small gift, I hope you won't mind."
The group entered the living room and sat down. Pei Zhiming took out the gifts he had brought and handed them to Wen Xingyue.
He had heard before coming that Wen Xingyue had taken good care of his grandfather, so he prepared a gift to express his gratitude.
Wen Xingyue looked at the gift bag handed to her, then turned to look at Huo Tingxiao, unsure whether she should accept it.
"Take it, don't be shy. This guy has a high salary, so this little gift is nothing."
Huo Tingxiao smiled and took it from her.
Pei Zhiming is a researcher with a decent salary.
The Huo family's coffee table was already piled high with things Pei Zhiming had brought, all expressing his gratitude to the Huo family for taking care of Li Tianbai during this time.
"Are you going to take Master away?" Wen Xingyue looked at Pei Zhiming and asked, her eyes showing reluctance.
Is he going to take his master away? Then the little peach blossom spirit will be without a master.
Wen Xingyue scratched her hand uncomfortably.
During her time with Li Tianbai, he became more than just a teacher to her; he was like family. She adored him. He patiently taught her medicine, carefully corrected her mistakes, and would even bring her back pretty dresses when he went shopping. Every day when she went to learn from him, he would prepare all sorts of snacks for her, worried she might go hungry.
Li Tianbai is like the old tree that accompanied and comforted Wen Xingyue in the secret realm.
Now Pei Zhiming has arrived. I heard he has been searching for his master for a long time. Is he here to take his master away?
Upon hearing it again, Pei Zhiming was able to remain calm and composed.
"No, Grandpa likes living here. Grandpa likes you very much, sister-in-law. Grandpa doesn't want to go home. I will stay here for a while to keep Grandpa company. When I go back, I will submit a report to my superiors to apply for a transfer to the capital. During this time, I will trouble you to take good care of Grandpa, sister-in-law."
Pei Zhiming listened to her words and shook his head.
Pei Zhiming must have thought of taking his grandfather with him when he came, but as soon as he started talking to his grandfather, his grandfather seemed to understand his thoughts and said very firmly, "He will not leave. He will stay in the capital and will not go anywhere else."
Pei Zhiming knew that his grandfather was stubborn, and no one could change his mind once he made up his mind. Since he said he wouldn't leave, he definitely wouldn't leave.
Pei Zhiming knew that his persuasion was useless, so he completely followed his grandfather's advice. Moreover, he was busy with work, so he took his grandfather back home. He would be spending a long time in the laboratory, which could last from half a month to several months.
Even after taking Grandpa back, there were times when he couldn't take care of him. Since Grandpa was willing to stay in the capital and Wen Xingyue was by his side, Grandpa smiled more often.
Pei Zhiming was also pleased to see this.
Grandpa didn't want to go back, and he was worried about leaving Grandpa alone here, so he planned to apply to his superiors to be transferred here to be with Grandpa once he went back.
There were only the two of them, grandfather and grandson, at home. His parents passed away when he was young, and his grandmother also passed away later. His grandfather was his only relative. Now that he has finally been found, a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
"Yes, no trouble at all, no trouble at all. I will definitely take good care of Master, don't worry."
Knowing that Pei Zhiming wouldn't take Li Tianbai away, Wen Xingyue's face became noticeably more lively, and she smiled sweetly.
[Hehe, Master won't leave, so happy~]
Pei Zhiming found her childlike nature quite amusing.
This sister-in-law looks like a child.
She's so innocent and straightforward.
You can see right through her thoughts; she has absolutely no ulterior motives.
His gaze fell on Huo Tingxiao, his eyes filled with surprise. He never expected that his good brother would like someone with this kind of personality. Pei Zhiming was completely taken aback.
He thought that with Tingxiao's personality, he would marry a gentle, generous, and intellectual woman who could take good care of the family. After all, Tingxiao was busy with work and often couldn't take care of the family. When he was going to marry, he didn't have to be a good match in terms of social status, but at least not a wife who would make him worry about being kidnapped while he was out, and who would always need someone to take care of her, thus distracting him from his work.
Wen Xingyue looked too young, and her figure was also petite. Standing next to Huo Tingxiao, it was like an adult taking care of a child.
In the short time we spent together, she showed no guile whatsoever, just innocently adorable; she could probably be lured away by a single piece of candy.
To put it nicely, they're naive; to put it bluntly, they're silly.
Tingxiao, who hates trouble the most, married such a young wife and clearly fell in love with her, which was completely unexpected by Pei Zhiming.
"Xingyue, Aunt Wang is almost done cooking. Why don't you and Xiaojun go and call Old Li over for dinner?"
Huo Tingxiao felt his brother's scrutiny, but remained unmoved. He spoke gently to Wen Xingyue beside him.
"good."
Wen Xingyue stood up.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go together."
Huo Tingjun resumed being her sister-in-law's little shadow.
