Meng Sheng couldn't sleep that night. He tossed and turned until after three o'clock before he fell asleep in a half-awake state.
Soon consciousness sank into the dream.
She dreamed of Xu Li again, and it was the same scene as last time when she was in the car and watched the big truck in front of her hit her head-on.
No matter how she screamed and called for help, it could not change the fact that had already happened. The scene changed, and she was kneeling alone in front of her mother's coffin in the funeral home. She could not shed tears and could only stare blankly at Xu Li's portrait.
Later, Meng Chengli, Meng Shixu, Qiu Yi and Shang Boyu all came to persuade her, but she remained unmoved. Finally, her body could not hold on and she fainted in front of the coffin.
She didn't even get to see her mother for the last time. How could she not feel regret? How could she not collapse and despair?
She did not struggle or cry in her dream, and she regained consciousness quickly.
All that came into view was darkness, and she subconsciously moved to the side.
But as soon as he reached out his hand, he came to his senses.
Pei Sui is not here.
She suddenly remembered that they had quarreled last night.
Because of Ning Weiwei’s matter.
She was stunned for a while, and after a while she curled the corners of her lips in sarcasm. Habit is really a terrible thing.
Even though they had not been together for long, when she woke up from the dream feeling uneasy, she subconsciously wanted to nestle in his arms, quickly absorbing the familiar warmth and cedar scent that made her feel at ease.
What if she loses this warmth and embrace that gives her peace of mind in the future?
Oh, that's okay.
Isn't she always losing?
Family, love, friendship.
What hasn't she lost?
You should get used to it.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, tried to cheer herself up, put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, turned on the light, took out her cell phone, and checked the time.
I realized it wasn't even six o'clock yet.
All in all, I only slept for about two hours.
But now I have no desire to sleep.
Thinking about her flight at 10:30 tomorrow morning, she didn't waste time lying in bed. She threw back the quilt and went to the cloakroom to pack her suitcase.
By the time I finished cleaning up, it was already dawn outside.
It's almost seven o'clock.
In just over two hours, it was time to leave for the airport.
It takes about half an hour to drive from here to the airport, but eight or nine o'clock is the morning rush hour, and no one can predict how long you will be delayed on the road. The safest thing to do is to leave early.
She couldn't help but think of Pei Sui again.
Then will Pei Sui still go?
Meng Sheng subconsciously picked up her phone, but as soon as she opened the chat box with Pei Sui, she suddenly pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.
She actually didn't know what she was struggling with. As the museum's attorney, Pei Sui was definitely indispensable in such international cooperation negotiations.
She also believed in Pei Sui's professionalism and would not let what happened last night affect her most professional judgment.
But should she send him a message now, asking if he was still going? Wouldn't that just increase the conflict?
Now she is really more twisted than a ball of hemp rope. She feels that she has taken things for granted, but she also feels that she is just being realistic and should not think too much.
It's too hypocritical, this is not her
But apart from this, what else can she post?
Regarding what happened last night, she actually didn't know what else to say.
She was also willing to apologize for deceiving him and hiding things from him, but he was unwilling to listen to her apology.
Just as I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard the sound of entering a password at the door.
She was stunned and her heart skipped a beat.
A hint of anticipation flashed across a pair of calm almond-shaped eyes.
The facts did not disappoint her.
It was indeed Pei Sui.
He was carrying two lunch boxes in his hands and had no suitcase, so he was dressed quite casually.
Pei Sui's gaze fell on the coffee cup in her hand, then slowly moved to her face.
The two of them just stared at each other from a distance of several meters. In the end, Pei Sui was the first to look away. He walked to the dining table, took out the box, and said nothing.
The air was filled with tiny bubbles that were even more awkward than last night's. They floated gently around, making a "pop" sound from time to time, like seconds slowly turning.
After he put several food containers in place and opened them, Meng Sheng pursed her lips, walked over, and when she raised her eyes she saw the bruise under his eye.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes."
Pei Sui paused for a second, tilted his head slightly, glanced at her leisurely, said "hmm" lightly, and continued his movements.
He actually didn't sleep the whole night last night.
I can't sleep at all.
This was probably the first time in his 31 years that he truly understood what it felt like to have a sleepless night.
He simply got up at around five o'clock to make breakfast.
As for the luggage for going to Tokyo, he took a shower last night, stayed in the study for more than half an hour, and then went to pack.
Noticing his indifference, she didn't say anything for a moment, but pushed the coffee she had just brewed in front of him, then turned back to the kitchen to make herself a glass of juice.
When she came out, Pei Sui was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.
The two of them sat at the same dining table, but the atmosphere was not as harmonious and warm as hoped, but rather a bit solemn.
After two or three minutes, Meng Sheng took the initiative to break the silence. "Sisi, you're going to Tokyo for so many days. What are you going to do? Just leave it at home?"
Pei Sui looked up at her again, "I've told Nie Han that he'll come over every day after get off work."
"Well, that's good."
Meng Sheng felt a little relieved.
At least he is willing to go to Tokyo with her now.
After responding to this, the two of them lost their topic, and the restaurant fell into an awkward atmosphere again.
But the two of them still didn't say anything and finished their breakfast quietly. She helped him clean up the table and the dishes.
The clock on the wall showed seven forty.
Meng Sheng felt that there was still some time and this couldn't go on any longer.
As the saying goes, the more you argue about etiquette, the clearer it becomes; the more you explain the truth, the clearer it becomes.
She instantly put aside all the concerns that had been in her mind thirty or forty minutes ago.
She doesn't like this cold war mode.
Even if the conflict escalates, so what? It's better than both of them being silent and bitter all day, right?
Moreover, she also needed to know his thoughts, whether it was about Ning Weiwei or her sending Ning Weiwei to a mental hospital.
You should hear an answer.
Whether good or bad.
After quickly preparing herself mentally, she quickly took a long step, stood across in front of him, and looked at him with her delicate and beautiful eyes, "Pei Sui, let's continue talking about what happened last night."
Pei Sui stopped and looked at her with his eyelids slightly lowered. After a moment, he said, "Okay."
The reason why I couldn’t fall asleep last night was actually because of my rationality.
Reason told him that Meng Sheng was in a bad mood at that time and it was not appropriate to continue the conversation, otherwise the relationship would completely collapse. He was also afraid that he would not be able to hold on and that his future would be completely ruined after a quarrel with Meng Sheng.
So last night he was trying to persuade himself rationally while at the same time expecting Meng Sheng to come upstairs, or send him a WeChat message or call him to talk to him.
At least it can soothe the resentment in his heart.
Meng Sheng looked at him and pursed his lips. "Are you still angry now?"
Pei Sui was almost laughing at her words, "You expect me to reconcile?"
"No..." Meng Sheng paused for a few seconds, "You were the one who said you wanted to calm down last night."
"Um, so, are you calm now?"
He discovered that this woman had no idea how to coax people.
