The 6th was a rainy day, with lead-gray clouds pressing down heavily like balls of wet cotton wool.
The gentle cool breeze carries with it a bit of the lingering spring chill, but it is not as biting as the cold spring weather. Instead, it is like a piece of silk soaked in slightly cool well water, carelessly brushing against one's skin.
Meng Sheng wore a bright blue Chanel-style short skirt suit. In such weather, just standing in the underground parking lot, she shivered at the sudden draft.
"Give me the things, and you go up and sit down." Pei Sui took the bag from her hand.
Meng Sheng didn't bother to be polite with him. After handing the things to him, he opened the passenger door and got in.
It takes two hours to drive from the south to the west of the city. It is a weekday, so there are usually traffic jams on busy roads.
So they set out early.
As soon as I fastened my seat belt, the phone in my bag suddenly dinged.
Her hand froze in the air for a moment, and she took out her cell phone from her bag to read the content of the text message.
[Danger! There will be a rear-end collision on Linghe Road at 9:07. Avoid that road!]
Meng Sheng's pupils shrank.
Linghe Road?!
If you don't want to take a detour and spend an extra twenty minutes, this is the only road from the south of the city to the west of the city on the highway.
Even those who are not in a hurry are unwilling to spend an extra twenty minutes taking a detour.
Seven minutes past nine...
It is now 8:41. If you calculate the distance, driving from here to Linghe Road is exactly after 9 o'clock.
Just in time for that rear-end collision.
She suddenly remembered that the first time she received this strange text message, it was also telling her to avoid a rear-end collision on Jianghua Road.
She seemed to not believe it at the time. If it weren't for Joanna's call, she would have gone back to the art museum. The consequences would have been unimaginable.
So... who was the person who sent her the text message?
The doubts in her heart resurfaced.
Could it be that it was really as she guessed, her future self, or her self in a parallel space?
However, for those things that did not happen, or those things that changed from her previous life, or those things that developed differently due to her choices in this life.
The owner of this number always knows everything and can even send her a text message in advance to remind her.
The driver's door was opened, Pei Sui got in, and saw her staring at her phone, wondering what she was thinking.
The car seat belt, while asking, "What's wrong?"
Meng Sheng came back to his senses from his thoughts, raised his eyes to look at him, and returned to normal in a second. He smiled and his brain raced.
So he asked naturally, "Nothing, I was just wondering... Does Grandma Pei like flowers?"
"Huh? You want to send flowers? Why did you suddenly think of sending flowers?"
"I was thinking, girls all like flowers. No matter how old you are, romance never goes out of style. Is Grandma Pei allergic to flowers?"
Pei Sui glanced at her and silently chewed over her words "Girls all like flowers, romance never goes out of style" in his heart.
He carefully noted it down before shaking his head and answering her question, "Grandma isn't allergic to flowers. She actually likes illustrations. There's a glass greenhouse in the fourth courtyard of the old house. When we get there, I'll take you there."
"good."
Meng Sheng agreed with a smile, "Then let's go... Jinlin Road. There's a flower shop called Mosong over there. I've seen a lot of their videos and I think they're all pretty good."
"Jinlin Road?"
Pei Sui's eyes flashed with doubt, and looking at her bright and smiling eyes, he did not refute and nodded, "Okay, let's go."
Only after the car really drove into Jinlin Road did Meng Sheng slowly let out the breath that had been stuck in his throat.
When we arrived at the "Mosong" flower shop, she chose burgundy carnations and deep red velvet roses as the main flowers according to the owner's recommendation.
I also picked a few white lisianthus and gray-green eucalyptus as matching flowers.
The packaging uses retro kraft paper and dark blue hemp rope, and Meng Sheng also wrote a card by hand.
It is a lyrics card for the old song "Moonlight Serenade" from the 1940s, and below it is a line of beautiful and elegant greetings in small characters.
——I hope this gift that transcends time can make you smile.
Pei Sui stood by and watched, whispering, "This gift of yours should be the best in the whole place. Grandma will definitely like it."
Meng Sheng turned his head to look at him and smiled, "The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great. Let's go. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
Pei Sui nodded, took her hand and walked out of the flower shop.
By the time I got in the car, it was already 9:12, which was past the time period for rear-end collisions as warned in the text message.
She didn't doubt whether this incident really happened, but she inexplicably felt like she had survived a disaster.
If it weren't for the reminder in the text message, she would have died even if she had ten lives.
Soon, the feeling of surviving a disaster turned into a sense of peace and relaxation.
It was just after eleven o'clock when she and Pei Sui arrived at the Pei family's old house.
Through the car window, she saw the two open towering red doors. In the middle of the top was a plaque with the words "Pei's House" engraved on it.
It has the grandeur of a wealthy family in ancient times.
The Pei family hadn't entertained guests for many years. There was a housekeeper, some servants, and Pei Yu at the door to receive guests.
At this time, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and a slightly cold wind was blowing in the humid air.
Pei Sui asked her not to move, went down with an umbrella, and asked the servant to take the gifts out of the trunk.
bite!
The phone in the bag suddenly rang with a crisp and short text message ringtone again.
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment and took out his cell phone.
[Be careful! Cui Xueheng will deliberately attack you and frame you, making you lose face in front of many people. She will then maliciously smear you with labels such as "unfilial," "disrespectful to elders," "arrogant," and "domineering."]
When these lines of words came into her sight, she opened her eyes wide in surprise.
She thought she had never offended Cui Xueheng, so why did Cui Xueheng have such a big opinion of her?
From the first time Cui Xueheng went to the art museum to find her, she felt a strange sense of malice and prejudice.
Now he even goes so far as to attack her and frame her.
Do you hate her to this extent?
Meng Sheng found it unbelievable.
If you don't know, you might think they have some deep hatred?!
Could it be that he was taking his anger out on her because of the estrangement between him and Pei Sui?
Is this reasonable?
Is this correct?
If she and Pei Sui really planned to get married in the future, how miserable would her life be if she had a mother-in-law who disliked her, loved to stir up trouble, and had a mental illness.
Just thinking about it made her feel a dull pain in her forehead.
Just as she was thinking, the car door was suddenly opened, and Pei Sui, who was wearing a casual suit, handed the umbrella in his hand to her.
"Come down."
When Meng Sheng looked up, the expression on her face had faded, and even the text message page on the screen had been swiped away by her.
She put away her phone, nodded, hugged the bouquet of flowers, and picked up her bag. A slender hand with distinct bones reached out and took her bag.
She was slightly stunned, met his dark brown eyes, curled the corners of her lips, and landed her feet on the wet ground.
She walked up the stairs side by side with him, and when they reached the door, she saw him hand the car keys to the servant, and then she introduced Pei Yu to her.
"Welcome." Pei Sui was the first to greet.
