Chapter 242 Dog Man Man
Jiang Fei's heart sank as if a stone had fallen on it, and her fingertips unconsciously crumpled the pages of the book. Then she saw Pei Jing smile again, and this time the smile was more obvious and a little gentle.
The system exclaimed in amazement: "It's over, it's over. He can even be substituted. He's definitely gay. Host, don't be too sad. This was actually quite common in ancient times. Look at those noble families. Many of them actually kept handsome young men in private. Pei Jing's behavior is not outrageous."
"Shut up!" Jiang Fei yelled in her heart, "You might as well not comfort him. Even if he's bent, I can straighten him."
The system reminded: "Have you forgotten? Even if the mosquito coil is broken into pieces, each piece is still curved."
Jiang Fei: “…”
Pei Jing seemed to sense that she was in a bad mood. He put down the book and looked at her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Jiang Fei turned her face away and said stiffly, "Nothing, just a little tired and sleepy."
After saying this, he closed the book and went to bed.
Pei Jing was silent for a while, then put down the book and blew out the candle.
The bedroom was dark, with only a small light still on in the outer room.
Jiang Fei had her back to Pei Jing, the quilt was wrinkled from being clutched by her, and an absurd idea kept circling in her mind.
How could this be? How could this be possible? But Pei Jing's transformation was too real.
The bed behind him sank slightly and Pei Jing lay down.
There was silence in the darkness for a moment, and then he suddenly stretched out his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist tightly from behind, and brought her into his arms.
Pei Jing hugged her tightly, his nose touching the top of her head, his mind churning.
He couldn't help himself today and killed someone, but that person really deserved to die. If it weren't for him, how could he and Xiao Cui have wasted ten years?
If the doctor had taken the money she earned from selling herself and gone to the dilapidated temple to treat her, he would have known that she had been bought and would have found a way to save her. They wouldn't have been separated for ten years, and maybe their child would be able to speak by now.
He wanted to do good deeds so that he could be with her in the next life, but in the end he couldn't help it and his hands were stained with blood again.
Pei Jing's Adam's apple moved, and the guilty feeling in his heart surged like a tide, and the anger surged, but was suppressed by the soft body in his arms.
Jiang Fei's doubts grew bigger and bigger. No! She had to try again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei turned around in Pei Jing's arms, raised her hands to hook Pei Jing's neck, and gently kissed his lips.
Pei Jing didn't expect her to be so proactive. He was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative and deepened the kiss.
As they tossed and turned, the tent became scorching hot. The softness and fragrance in his arms almost made him lose control.
Just when he was feeling emotional, Jiang Fei's words of being tired flashed through his mind, and his rationality suddenly grabbed him back.
She had suffered so much, and he just wanted to go along with her in everything and make her happy and comfortable.
Pei Jing reluctantly released his lips, resting his forehead against hers, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to sleep."
He took Jiang Fei into his arms again, and patted her back gently with his big hands, as if to comfort her, "Go to sleep, dear."
Jiang Fei's heart suddenly sank.
If it were in the past, how could Pei Jing hold back? He would have rushed over without caring about anything, and now he has lost interest in her body.
Jiang Fei felt a lump in her throat, and even the system noticed her depression. She shut up sullenly, not daring to say anything about mosquito coils or anything like that.
Hearing her breathing becoming shallower, Pei Jing's hand that was patting her back gradually slowed down. He lowered his head to look at her sleeping face, and a deep sense of guilt welled up in his eyes.
He kissed her forehead and said in a voice as soft as a sigh: "I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry, I was too weak back then and failed to protect you, causing you to be sold around and suffer so much.
I'm sorry that you've been alone for the past ten years, with no one to support you when you were wronged.
I'm sorry, I couldn't help but have murderous thoughts today and failed to keep my promise to you...
Too many apologies were stuck in my throat, and finally turned into these three words, dissipating in the silent night.
…
The system didn't dare to make a sound all night. The next day, Jiang Fei woke up very early. She woke up as soon as Pei Jing got up.
"Awake?" Pei Jing's voice was still hoarse from just waking up. "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Jiang Fei closed her eyes and didn't respond. She heard the rustling sound of Pei Jing putting on his clothes.
Pei Jing put on his clothes. It was just dawn and a little light came in through the window.
He lowered his eyes to look at her for a while, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, then opened the door and went out.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, Jiang Fei opened her eyes and stared at the patterns on the tent ceiling in a trance.
After a while, she said, "He apologized to me last night."
"He really did something to offend you." The system said immediately.
Jiang Fei added: "He doesn't touch me anymore. He's not interested in my body anymore."
The system couldn't help but ask, "Is there another possibility that he's already eaten his fill outside?"
These words are really hurtful.
The system continued, "We're both in the same boat. We're both cuckolded in this cold weather. How about we go follow him?"
This method seemed to work. Jiang Fei turned over and sat up, then fell down again.
"What's wrong?" asked the system.
Jiang Fei said, "I have his secret guards following me. You want me to follow him? I'm afraid he'll know before I even catch him."
"Then send the secret guards away."
Jiang Fei thought about it and decisively refused, "No, Wei Ciying is ready to make a move, and Wei Mingzhen has changed his ways again. I can't guarantee he doesn't have other ideas. Pei Jing is still fighting with the eldest prince. If I send the secret guards away, wouldn't that be like walking into a tiger's mouth?"
The system agreed: "That makes sense. If you die, wouldn't that be a bargain for those two men?"
Jiang Fei: “…”
In the following days, Jiang Fei behaved unusually calmly, just like usual, but in fact, she was secretly observing the two of them.
For example, during one dinner, Duan Jiu came in and stood there. Pei Jing raised his eyes and made eye contact with Duan Jiu. After finishing his meal, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Jiang Fei watched Duan Jiu silently follow him and couldn't help but slam her chopsticks, "He's following me even to the toilet. Is he just handing me toilet paper? Is he missing an arm or a leg?"
For example, when she was sitting and eating melon seeds, she saw Duan Jiu winking at Pei Jing, and that look was just like an old lady at the village entrance handing over information.
Then Pei Jing followed him. The two of them huddled behind the rockery, whispering something to each other. He would look back at her from time to time, just like a couple caught having an affair.
There are countless examples like this.
Jiang Fei curled up on the couch, eating an apple, wondering in her heart, are these two people performing "Romance of the West Chamber" here?
After dinner, Jiang Fei went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The two people in the corridor lowered their voices. Pei Jing frowned, his fingers unconsciously stroking the ball of yarn around his waist, "Xiao Cui has been acting strange these past few days."
Duan Jiu nodded thoughtfully, "I think so too. The young lady has been looking at me a lot lately."
Pei Jing suddenly turned around and glared at him, his eyes like knives. "She looked at you? How could she possibly look at you?"
He raised his chin slightly, his tone hinting at a challenge, "If she wants to look, it's at me. You're standing next to me, enjoying my influence, so naturally she thinks she's looking at you. Could she be looking at anyone else besides me? At you? Are you more attractive than me?"
