Chapter 76 Winter Warmth, Sunbathing
Shen Shi and Pei Heng entered the restaurant. Pei Wulin was no longer there. Ling Yue and Huo Xiao, who had just returned from practicing, were having breakfast.
The servant came over with a small gift box and handed it to Pei Heng respectfully, "Master, this is the gift that the Second Master left for you before he left. He said you should open it yourself."
Pei Heng would be a fool to kiss her.
Generally speaking, there is nothing good in it.
Seeing this, Huo Xiao took the initiative to step forward and said, "Master, I'll do it."
He took the gift box and first carefully checked the outer packaging and ribbon to make sure there were no hidden pinholes or powdery foreign matter. Then he carefully untied the ribbon and opened the lid.
The inside was lined with a black velvet cushion, on which lay a gold and jade necklace quietly, exuding an air of luxury.
It seems that it is indeed a valuable and impeccable gift suitable for giving to younger generations.
Huo Xiao and Ling Yue carefully checked the necklace again, confirming that it was not smeared with any suspicious drugs and there were no hidden weapons, and then handed the box back to Pei Heng.
Pei Heng picked up the necklace and played with it between his fingertips. The design was indeed very beautiful and it was a style he would like.
Just as he was thinking that this gift didn't seem so bad, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look at Shen Shi beside him.
Shen Shi looked at the necklace in his hand quietly, without saying a word, and kissed Pei Heng.
Pei Heng smiled and pinched Shen Shi's cheek, which felt very good. "Shen Shi, you are a jealous fox."
Pei Heng likes Shen Shi's secret possessiveness.
Besides, when Pei Heng thought that it was given by Pei Wulin, he lost interest.
He casually threw the necklace back into the box, closed the lid, and handed it to Wen Desheng next to him, "Put it away."
Go into Xiao Pei's warehouse and collect dust.
Wen Desheng immediately took it and said, "Yes, Master."
In his heart, he silently gave thanks to Mr. Pei, who knew how to flatter people with gifts when they first met. Although his flattery only flattered the horse's leg, he also made a note of it.
Eunuch Wen felt that this person was no ordinary person!

After returning to the old house, Pei Heng was disturbed by bizarre dreams for several nights in a row. His sleep quality was not good and he seemed a little lethargic in the afternoon.
It was a rare sunny day in winter, so he simply dragged Chen Shi to the garden to bask in the sun.
In a corner of the courtyard, two comfortable lounge chairs were placed side by side, covered with thick wool cushions.
Pei Heng lay down holding Shen Shi, covered with a large, soft blanket. The warm sunlight shone on his body, making him feel so comfortable that he felt drowsy.
The cats and dogs around seemed to sense that their two owners needed quiet, so they lay down on the lawn or under the porch to take a nap far away, and did not dare to disturb them.
Only the calico kitten, with its elegant and domineering steps, lightly jumped onto Pei Heng's recliner, stepped on his chest without any hesitation, found the most comfortable position, curled up, as if this place belonged to it.
Pei Heng opened his eyes helplessly after being stepped on by the kitten. He stretched out his hand to hold the chubby kitten in front of his eyes, with the tip of his nose almost touching the kitten's wet little nose, and gave it a serious education.
"You are a mature prince. You should learn to find a place to bask in the sun by yourself instead of trying to usurp your brother's throne every day. Do you understand?"
The calico cat obviously doesn't understand the power shift in humans.
It stretched out its pink tongue with tiny barbs, licked Pei Heng's nose, stepped on his arm a few times, then turned over and began to lick the fur on its belly seriously.
It is a cat that can lick its own fur and despises the two shameless humans next to it who need to keep each other warm.
Pei Heng simply stuffed this warm little brother under the blanket, curled him up between himself and Shen Shi, then closed his eyes again, put his arms around Shen Shi's waist, buried his face in his soft fur, and prepared to continue catching up on his sleep.
Chen Shi also adjusted his posture to make Pei Heng lean more comfortably, and his fingers occasionally combed the ends of his slightly curly hair.
Sunshine, warm blanket, lover, cat.
Quiet and beautiful.
But this tranquility did not last long.
At the other end of the garden, the keeper who was responsible for taking care of the Samoyed Princess finally took it out for a walk.
But today the eldest princess seemed unusually anxious. She kept spinning in circles, pulling at the leash, and whimpering impatiently. She was not at all as docile as usual.
The breeder finally stopped not far from Pei Heng and the others, wanting to let it be quiet for a while.
The eldest princess suddenly raised her head and saw two people sleeping in each other's arms on a recliner not far away.
His anxiety turned into anger, and he raised his head towards that direction and burst into fierce barking.
“Woof woof woof! Woof woof!”
It is completely different from its usual silly and cute appearance.
Chen Shi hadn't fallen asleep to begin with, but he just didn't want to leave Pei Heng's arms. He opened his eyes when he heard the dog barking, gently covered Pei Heng's ears that were exposed outside the blanket, stood up slightly, frowned, and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw that it was the Samoyed barking like crazy, his eyes turned cold and he said to the bewildered breeder in a deep voice, "Take it somewhere else to play."
The breeder was startled by Shen Shi's cold eyes and quickly responded, pulling the dog leash hard, "Don't disturb the young master."
But the usually obedient Samoyed seemed to be completely out of control at this moment, and with amazing strength, it completely broke free from the leash in the keeper's hand.
It kicked the ground with all four limbs and ran straight towards Pei Heng and Shen Shi, making aggressive roars as it ran.
The originally docile dog's eyes flashed with an almost fierce and ferocious light.
Chen Shi's pupils suddenly contracted, and in a split second, he even had an absurd illusion, as if he saw the arrogant and domineering eldest princess in his previous life who would draw her sword against His Highness at the slightest disagreement, now rushing towards His Highness with a heart full of resentment and malice.
Shen Shikong flipped his wrist, and several silver needles as thin as cow hairs slipped off his fingertips.
Ever since the island was attacked, he had made it a habit to carry these with him, just in case.
If this dog really dared to hurt Pei Heng, he would never hesitate.
No matter how soundly Pei Heng slept, he was woken up and saw the white dog rushing towards him, roaring.
Immediately afterwards, a figure ran in from the side gate, grabbed the end of the dog leash dragging on the ground, and pulled it to the side.
The Samoyed, which was running wildly, was choked by the sudden resistance, and its momentum came to an abrupt stop, and it let out a painful whimper.
It was extremely afraid of the person coming. Even though it was still anxiously marching on the spot, baring its teeth and growling, it did not dare to take another step forward.
The person who came was Pei Wulin.
He put one hand in his coat pocket and held the dog leash firmly with the other hand. With a little force, he pulled the Samoyed, who was still growling restlessly, to his side. Then he turned around and looked at the two people hugging each other on the recliner, and looked at Pei Heng who was tightly held in Chen Shi's arms.
"Hengheng, you're not scared, are you?"
The moment Pei Wulin appeared, Shen Shi quietly retracted the silver needle on his fingertips into his sleeve.
The coldness on his face quickly faded away, and he returned to his usual calmness, but he did not loosen his arm around Pei Heng.
Shen Shi raised his eyes, met Pei Wulin's gaze, answered on his behalf in a steady tone, and drew a clear line in the sand without making a sound.
"He wasn't frightened, thank you, uncle."
Pei Wulin's gaze lingered briefly on Shen Shi's arm that was protecting Pei Heng, and then a deeper smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his gaze turned to Shen Shi.
"Hello, I heard these days that you are Hengheng's boyfriend. You are welcome to visit our home."
