Chapter 1211 Lu Xuan: Hug my wife
By the time Pei Qi recovered, he was already at the doorstep with Lu Xuan, carrying his suitcase.
Seeing Pei Qi's bewildered expression, Lu Xuan pressed his fingerprint, opened the door, and turned to explain to Pei Qi, "This villa was bought for me to go to school. I'm not used to living in the same house with others, so I usually live alone. However, I often travel between the military headquarters and school, so I don't come home often. I usually rest for a day or two and then leave, leaving the house empty. It's great that you're here. I'd like you to look after the house while I'm away."
Pei Qi frowned and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you used to living with others? Wouldn't it be a nuisance for you if I moved in?"
Lu Xuan pressed his big hand on Pei Qi's head. "Stupid! I've already told you, I'm not used to living with others. You're not someone else, we're friends, aren't we?"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan pulled Pei Qi's suitcase and stepped inside. Surprisingly, the decoration here was extremely simple, with cold colors everywhere. It was more like an inn for travelers to rest than a home.
Lu Xuan led Pei Qi upstairs and pointed to the door opposite his own room. "This is your rest room. You can use the facilities at home freely, but..."
He pointed to another room on his left and reminded her, "That's my study. It's where I work and study. I don't like being disturbed when I'm working, and I don't like people entering my study without permission. Most of the time, I lock the door. I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, I don't mind. I'm the one who troubles you this time." Pei Qi said in a muffled voice.
Lu Xuan pushed his suitcase into the room and rubbed his head with his big hand again. "What kind of trouble is there between friends? You're just being polite. This is your room. Please do as you like. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone get it for you."
"Okay, take a break and refresh yourself. I'm right next to you. If you need anything, just call me."
Seeing Lu Xuan turning around to leave, Pei Qi grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Um..."
"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan turned around and looked at him.
Pei Qi lowered his head, trying hard to suppress the trembling in his voice. "Why, why did you believe me? Although we did stay in the club for the whole morning, I was the first one back to the dormitory. I could still steal the five thousand yuan before they came back. You spoke for me in front of so many people, but you are not me, how do you know it wasn't me? What if I really stole the money? You will lose face if you speak up for me like this..."
"There's no such thing as a one-time event. If you say you didn't do it, then it's not you."
Those azure eyes looked at him, those eyes as clear as sapphires seemed to see into his heart at a glance.
Pei Qi pursed his lips tightly, his obsidian eyes gleaming with watery light. "If I tell you, will you believe it?"
"right."
Lu Xuan's answer was so confident that Pei Qi was at a loss for what to do.
When their eyes met, Pei Qi seemed to see another person through those blue eyes.
"Pei Qi, you're so stupid!" Little White Tiger looked at his shoddy homework, shook his head in distress, and circled the questions he got wrong one after another with a pencil.
"Could you please turn your back?"
"What?"
"I want you to turn your back, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Xuan didn't understand, but respected.
He turned around obediently, and the next second, a pair of arms tightly wrapped around his waist, and the head was buried in his back.
The emotions that had been suppressed in Pei Qi's heart for a long time burst out in an instant.
Human collapse is silent and speechless.
He hugged Lu Xuan's waist tightly, letting the tears flow through the thin shirt and splash onto Lu Xuan's back. Unlike the cold-toned decoration around him, Lu Xuan's body temperature was relatively high, and he felt warm when he hugged him.
Lu Xuan let him hold him like a large pillow.
The room was silent, with only the sound of Pei Qi sobbing softly, like a wounded little animal licking its wounds in pain.
Pei Qi said nothing, but he seemed to have said everything.
The low sobbing sound was like waves, beating Lu Xuan's heart again and again. There was a cold light in his eyes, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
Pei Qi hugged him tightly, greedily possessing his warm body temperature.
Lu Xuan stood there quietly, waiting for his emotions to calm down little by little, as if nothing had happened, and asked: "What do you want to eat later in the evening?"
Pei Qi subconsciously tightened the strength in his arms and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why? Every time you see me, you always like to ask me what I want to eat. Could it be that in your eyes, I am a greedy person?"
Listening to Pei Qi's annoyed question, Lu Xuan smiled knowingly, "So do you want me to cook dinner, or should the chef from the five-star hotel do it?"
"The chef made it." Pei Qi immediately took over the conversation.
His quick words seemed to confirm his greed.
Pei Maomao patched up the situation quietly, "What I mean is—I think the chef has more experience in the industry. As the saying goes, every profession has its own expertise. You have to believe in the chef's ability! I don't mean to look down on your cooking skills."
"Can I turn around?" Lu Xuan asked.
Pei Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and replied, "Yeah."
When Lu Xuan turned around, he saw Pei Qi with red eyes. Pei Qi's eyes were wandering unnaturally, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Lu Xuan stretched out his long arm and naturally embraced the man in his arms, patting his back gently. "Why are you afraid of being seen? If I had suffered such a great injustice like you, I would definitely cry too. Being falsely accused is not a pleasant feeling. What's more, these people have not conducted any detailed investigations at all, but just parrot others' comments as if they are so righteous. It's really ridiculous."
"Why would you bother with them? They're just a bunch of rabble. Once you try to get things done according to the rules, they panic. That kind of fictitious justice is completely untenable. Justice is never just about whoever shouts the loudest. Do you understand?"
Pei Qi slowly raised his head and looked into those azure eyes. "Caesar, why do you believe me? I've clearly explained it to them, but no one believes me. Why do you..."
Lu Xuan's lips curled up, and he pinched Pei Qi's cheek with his slender fingers. "Stupid, they only know what others say about you, but I know the real you. Of course I will believe you, because I know you better than they do. You should really listen, see, and feel everything, instead of just relying on hearsay and hoarding secondhand information like a treasure."
"Pei Qi, even though my heart stands with you, I still have to criticize you on this matter."
Hearing this, Pei Maomao puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction. He accused dissatisfiedly, "You, you clearly know that I'm innocent, yet you still criticize me! You're going too far!"
"Not only do I know that you are wronged, but the person who wronged you also knows that you are wronged." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Lu Xuan pulled the man over to sit down beside the bed and went over the matter with him carefully. "You made several fatal mistakes in this matter. First, you shouldn't have let that Le Se anger you. Once you were angered by him, you fell into his logic of accusation. In reality, he couldn't produce a single shred of evidence; he was just making random noises. Second, you shouldn't have tried to prove your innocence to everyone. When he made an accusation, you asked him to produce evidence. If he couldn't, you should have said he was fabricating the facts to gain attention. Third, theft isn't the school's responsibility, let alone the students'. There's no point in arguing with them. You should have called the police immediately and let them investigate. That big black poster on a blue background speaks volumes."
Pei Qi looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Yes."
Seeing Pei Qi's belated realization, Lu Xuan smiled and rubbed his head. "Pei Qi, there are all kinds of people in this world, good and bad, but you have to remember that no bad person has the word 'bad' written all over their face. The real bad guys wear the most beautiful human skin and speak the most selfless words. Do you know why bad guys want you to be dedicated to the public and the overall situation?"
"Why?" Pei Qi blinked.
"Only in this way will you willingly give up your rights; only in this way will you give up resistance. They can cut off the most flesh at the smallest cost, and they are the ones who reap the fruits of the overall situation, while you are merely a pawn to be sacrificed. When you give up resistance, you will be served on the table."
Lu Xuan's fingers threaded through his soft hair, his azure eyes especially gentle. "Who is a bad person? Are they the ones who steal bread from convenience stores because they're hungry? Or are they the ones who eat with their mouths full but raise their arms to encourage dedication? These days, executioners never use knives to kill people."
"They know how to use sophisticated words to cover up layers of malice. But does that carefully disguised malice still hold malice? You need to know how to discern the intentions behind those words. Never judge by what a person says; the key lies in what they do. No matter how appealing or well-spoken their words are, as long as you're not included when discussing benefits, just treat them as bullshit."
"puff."
Pei Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He looked up at the unattainable iceberg snow lotus in the eyes of outsiders, with a teasing look in his eyes, "Caesar, do you know what image others have of you? They all say you're an iceberg snow lotus that can only be admired from afar and not touched. They all want to worship you as a god, but now, you open your mouth and talk about shit, piss and fart. You'll shatter their illusions!"
Lu Xuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked disapprovingly: "Why should I meet their expectations? I should be whatever they want me to be. Who are they?"
At that moment, Pei Qi seemed to understand Caesar's handsomeness.
Caesar was an aloof man. To put it nicely, he was opinionated, but to put it bluntly, he was arrogant. His eccentric personality and attitude of keeping others at a distance clearly separated him from others. However, the more individualistic he was, the more eye-catching he became, just like the bright moon in the night sky, with the twinkling stars merely serving as a foil to the bright moon.
Unlike the scorching sun, the moon has always been cool and elegant, and the stars in the sky are just its backdrop.
Lu Xuan tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Qi's eyes twinkled with stars. "I think you're so cool, Caesar. You don't take other people's words seriously at all."
Lu Xuan scoffed softly, "I don't live for them, so why should I care about what they say? Do I have to die for them just because they scold me? When they talk about other people's right and wrong, they are so eloquent, but if they are really weighed, they probably won't even weigh three ounces."
Faintly, Pei Qi seemed to have touched another side of Caesar.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but pinch his cheek, "Are you feeling better? Huh?"
“Pah.”
Pei Maomao opened his hand with a palm and said disapprovingly: "I, I don't take this matter to heart!"
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked teasingly, "Really? Who just stole the golden beans?"
"No! That person is definitely not me!" Pei Qi said confidently.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Aren't you just trying to cover up the truth?
Fool!
