1.
Xingyao felt that she must be the most unsuccessful secret admirer in the entire empire.
He rejected his crush when she confessed her love to him, and has been avoiding him until now, just because he was worried that the other person didn't really like him.
“That’s terrible!”
Xingyao covered her head and wailed as she sat in the window seat on the second floor of the Milu Restaurant.
The sunlight cast shadows of the trees on the table.
Today is the day when Milu Restaurant’s new milk foam coffee is launched.
In the past, Xingyao would have asked Jinyi to come out and try it out immediately, but today, the person sitting opposite him was another eye-catching injured person.
Pei Ji was bored as he shook the warm water reserved for patients while Xing Yao told him everything that happened during the coup.
He thought Xingyao was a truly magical person.
When people encounter relationship problems, they either choose to communicate with the person involved or seek help from reliable people.
And between "communicating with the person involved, Jin Yi" and "seeking help from Chen Que, who is obviously very capable", Xingyao chose to ask "Pei Ji, who is neither a person involved and is obviously unreliable" to drink... boiled water.
Pei Ji even suspected that Xingyao had no intention of solving this problem, but just needed to talk because he had been holding it in for too long.
After all, compared with the two people above, his only advantage is that he is free and can sit here and listen to him talk about his sad love story for a whole morning.
"It's pretty bad." Pei Ji commented objectively, "I said that Jin Yi wouldn't be able to find a partner so easily. He should spend his whole life with his work."
Xingyao: "Did you mishear the point?!"
Pei Ji leaned back and changed to a more comfortable position. As soon as he raised his arm in a plaster cast, the mechanical wheelchair immediately changed the shape of its armrests to follow his movements.
Because his mental power was damaged, his recovery was very slow. Fortunately, both Chenxing Palace and the Fourth Fleet had other people taking care of them, and his torn mental power had healed faster since he returned to Baisha Star.
The waiters were whispering to each other, and after a few sudden discussions, a little Beta came over shyly and handed a notebook to Pei Ji.
"Um, um... General Pei, could you please sign for me?"
Pei Ji was stunned, looked at the waiter, and replied: "Sorry, my hand is injured, and my family won't let me hold a pen recently."
Little Beta blushed, stammered, and said sorry, then returned to the other waiters and whispered:
"He's so handsome, even more handsome up close than on the screen!"
Several other waiters followed up with an excited discussion:
"And he's not fierce at all, nothing like the rumors say!"
"I've already told you that our young lord is not some cruel Alpha, and you still don't believe me!"
"He's so well behaved. He won't do anything his family tells him to do. Don't Alphas like to be dominant?"
“Pfft, what family? You’re putting it so euphemistically. Isn’t it Commander Shen?”
…
"You've become so popular." Xingyao looked at the scene in surprise.
Pei Ji snorted indifferently, "Aren't you the same?"
Xingyao thought of the thick stack of job invitation letters at home and covered her head again.
A decision that affects his future destiny.
In the past, he would have asked Jin Yi's opinion without hesitation, but Jin Yi happened to be one of the factors of chaos now.
After struggling for a long time, Xingyao raised her head again and asked with determination, "I have a question... I know it's abrupt, but I think only you can answer it..."
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows.
Xingyao took a deep breath and said, "How did you confirm... that the Director really likes you, and didn't choose you just because you're suitable?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the scene before him seemed to return to the Black Sai Factory. The little boy was chewing the cake he hated the most and complaining to his blonde sister: "If there weren't so many complicated reasons, he might never fall in love with me in his life."
Pei Ji suddenly realized that Xing Yao did not randomly choose the person to confide in. He carefully selected the only person who could give him an answer.
After a brief silence, Pei Ji sighed: "My method is not suitable for you."
He nodded his head, "After all, even I almost died because of this."
To be honest, Pei Ji had not really confirmed this matter before heading to the Sea of Life alone. He always felt that the reason why he could become Shen Que's only one was because he appeared by his side at the right time.
But after countless timelines in the ocean of life, it would be rude to doubt this matter anymore.
Xingyao showed an expression of visibly frustrated.
Pei Ji spread his hands. "I think if the target is Jin Yi, it's pointless to dwell on this. For that guy, being suitable and liking someone might not make any difference... Did you know that he hated eating carrots when he was a kid? But because the kindergarten teacher said carrots would help grow taller, he forced himself to eat them every time..."
“There is still a difference!”
Xingyao lowered her head and clenched her hands on her knees.
"Although Jinyi will eat all his food equally for balanced nutrition, he will take a few more bites of beef, frown when he sees Chinese yam, and eat potatoes without hesitation. He has his own preferences and will also point his index finger at the table when working overtime on Saturdays to show his impatience."
Pei Ji opened his mouth: "You really understand him..."
"That's because..." Xingyao pursed her lips, "I've been watching him..."
Because whenever he is around, my eyes can't help but drift over.
It feels like seeing the delicate rain in the oasis, the gerbils rolling in the desert, and the shadows of sunlight falling on the window sills, like precise parts gradually taking shape in the hands, and pure gems being polished bit by bit into beautiful jewelry.
