Meng Sheng was stunned.
The cool scent of cedar instantly filled her nostrils. It smelled so good, so faint, affecting the complex and sour emotions in her heart.
But it's still a bit messy.
She couldn't figure it out for the time being, and her busy brain didn't have the time to think about those things in detail.
She hadn't figured out how to face Pei Sui or how to communicate with him.
Back to the past...
It's too difficult.
The gap between them was too long, and she couldn't...get over it now.
If she forgave the Pei family so easily, how confused and disoriented would her daughter be?
He caused his father to have a near-death experience, and now he has to stay in bed or in a wheelchair for at least six months or a year.
Yet he was still happily living with the son of the woman who murdered his father.
How crazy must one be to do such an insane thing?
As she thought about this, she felt uneasy, as if there was an unextinguishable fire burning her internal organs.
She wanted to push him away, but Pei Sui held her tighter and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry, I'm incompetent and didn't control her well..."
No, it's not.
He is not incompetent.
He did a great job.
Very good.
Meng Sheng knew how innocent he was. He was not even close to Cui Xueheng, and Cui Xueheng treated him like an enemy, but he was still implicated by her.
But aren't she and her father innocent too?
Blood relationship is something that is really difficult to explain.
Who is right and who is wrong?
Ultimately, we can only blame Cui Xueheng for suddenly going crazy.
But facing Pei Sui, she couldn't blame him, but she couldn't completely accept this fact either.
So I can only feel a lot of self-blame and let it swallow me up like a tide.
If she hadn't interfered, Pei Sui would have come back to buy a new house, and then after Meng Chengli's medical treatment took effect and his health stabilized, he would have come to express his feelings and proposed to marry Meng Sheng.
What's the result?
After just one day, he felt that the wonderful days he spent in Japan were nothing but a pipe dream.
Meng Sheng opened his mouth, interrupting him and asking the question he had wanted to ask in the ward before, "What's wrong with your hand? How did it become like this?"
Pei Sui's heart sank when he heard this, and then it was half full again. The familiar fragrance on her body made him feel at ease.
He lowered his voice and said truthfully, "Yesterday, I was cutting down trees and land."
Meng Sheng was slightly startled, his brows furrowed, "Did you cut off a lot?"
"Not many, maybe eight or nine. It's a pity that they should have called a bulldozer to flatten the garden." Before speaking, he laughed at himself.
The voice was low and hoarse, and its cold texture revealed a hint of indifference and regret.
Meng Sheng didn't know what to say.
Should I say he is stupid, or... stupid?
How much effort would it take to cut eight or nine trees by hand?
The last time she went to the Pei family, she had been to the fifth courtyard and naturally saw the plum garden.
Most plum trees are well cared for and grow strong, so it takes a lot of effort to cut them down by hand.
"Is he hurt, or what?" she asked hurriedly.
"blister."
"How many?"
"I don't know, maybe more than ten."
Meng Sheng took a breath.
There are so many trees. How much effort would it take to cut them down?
No wonder there are so many blisters.
She frowned, pushed him away, grabbed his hand, and asked worriedly, "Have you seen a doctor? Did you pop the blister? Did you apply medicine? Does it hurt? You're such a fool, why…"
Meeting his gaze, her voice stopped abruptly.
Pei Sui looked at her eagerly and asked in a low voice, "You are still... willing to care about me?"
Meng Sheng lowered his eyelids and replied softly, "Well, you are still my boyfriend now."
Pei Sui was startled, a hint of panic in his eyes.
Still now?
After that...
Just not anymore?
He moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Meng Sheng pressed on, "Answer my question."
"It's been treated. It's not serious. My family doctor prescribed me some medicine. It will heal in a few days. I can also apply it with scar cream, so it won't leave scars."
Meng Sheng had a cold face and glared at him unhappily, "You...you were too impulsive and got yourself into this state..."
She could imagine how miserable he was when he was chopping down the tree.
"I can't stay calm when she does something like this. Only if I give her a beating that hurts her will she learn her lesson. Otherwise, even if I send her abroad, she will still find ways to cause trouble."
There was nothing he could do.
If he could, he would have killed her.
Meng Sheng pursed her lips, feeling a strange feeling in her heart. She had seen Cui Xueheng's ability to make trouble since she pretended to be sick and framed her at the birthday party last time.
Although Cui Xueheng is sick now, will she not act up during the Qingming Festival in the future?
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly sank.
Who has so many lives to spare for Cui Xueheng to suffer like this?
Pei Sui looked at the dimming light in her eyes. He seemed to understand something and spoke uneasily, "Shengsheng, we..."
"You go back first."
Meng Sheng interrupted him, took a breath, and said softly, "I will go back tonight and have a good sleep. Let's talk about our business tomorrow."
He also warned, "Also, since you've applied medicine to the wound on your hand, don't let it get wet easily. Be careful of it getting pus and inflammation."
At this moment, Pei Sui's heart seemed to have fallen into a pitch-black abyss.
I kept falling down and couldn't stop.
He suddenly wanted to escape and didn't want to face tomorrow.
He had never had such an idea before. He had always believed in finishing today's work today and solving any problems properly. Escaping was the most useless method.
But now he just wanted to escape.
Seeing that she remained silent, Meng Sheng frowned and looked at him, emphasizing his tone, "Did you hear me? Don't touch the water with your hands!"
Pei Sui reached out again and held her in his arms, burying his face in her neck, greedily sniffing the elegant and fresh fragrance that belonged only to her.
Meng Sheng raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to push him away.
But her hand stopped in mid-air, and she couldn't push him away, so she let him hold her, and put her hand loosely on his back.
It took a long while before I heard him say "hmm" in a heavy voice.
How could she not crave the comfort of being in his arms?
But she can't!
Right now, her mind is in a mess and she is not in a good position to make choices or decisions.
She needs time and space to think carefully and sort out her emotions.
After a moment, she waited until the expression on her face returned to that distant and indifferent look before pushing him away and saying, "Go back."
"I'm waiting for you."
Pei Sui said, "You don't have a car to go home tonight, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Need not."
"I'm waiting for you."
Meng Sheng pursed her lips and said nothing after hearing what he repeated.
"I'm your boyfriend, it's my duty to wait for you." He added in a low voice, "When you're about to come down, send me a message. I'll be waiting for you at the elevator, okay?"
"My phone died last night."
Pei Sui's eyelashes cast two shadows. "No wonder, I sent you a message last night... and called you, but you didn't reply or answer."
Meng Sheng was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. He looked at him for a few seconds and turned his head away.
"I'm going in."
After saying that, she didn't stay any longer, nor did she look at him. She just walked into the ward.
Looking at her departing back, which was so determined, Pei Sui tried to take a deep breath, but the air became stuck in his throat and could not reach his lungs.
