His eyes darted around for a moment, then he seemed to realize something. He pretended to be startled by Xiao Mei's barking and backed away in fear. In doing so, he bumped into Xu Moran, who was standing behind him and Xiao Mei.
He turned around abruptly, pretending to only then notice Xu Moran, and asked her with feigned surprise, "Officer Xu, you haven't left yet?"
Xu Moran was caught by Pei Hang, who even questioned her, making her feel very embarrassed, and her face instantly turned hot and red.
She paused for a moment, then waved to Xiaomei and said to Pei Hang, "Dr. Pei, after thinking it over, I still feel that Xiaomei is bothering you, so I've come to take her away."
.
Xiao Mei walked towards Xu Moran very reluctantly, at a very slow pace, about the same as a tortoise crawling.
Pei Hang understood Xiao Mei's meaning perfectly. It didn't want to leave, didn't want to watch Xiao Anhe pick up girls while it was all alone, only able to watch others show affection. It wanted to follow Pei Hang to pick up girls.
Pei Hang reacted quickly, grabbing Xiao Mei's head and pleading with Xu Moran, "Officer Xu, have you seen that really popular horror movie lately?"
Xu Moran had heard of the horror movie, but had never seen it, and honestly shook his head, "I haven't seen it."
She was clearly talking to Pei Hang about Xiao Mei, how did she suddenly jump to horror movies? This topic jump is unusually big.
Pei Hang patted his chest as if he had just remembered something terrifying, "Officer Xu, I have seen it, and in order to figure out the mystery inside, I watched it three times."
Xu Moran replied dismissively, "Is it pretty?"
Pei Hang nodded, "It's good, but it's a bit too scary. There are no ghosts at all, but it's much scarier than if there were. The story is about an empty old house..."
Just as Pei Hang was about to launch into a lengthy story, Xu Moran quickly interrupted him, "Dr. Pei, it's getting late. I won't bother you any longer with Xiao Mei. Let's go now, and we can meet again next time."
As she spoke, Xu Moran reached out to pull Xiao Mei; she had no choice but to. Pei Hang patted his chest with one hand while holding Xiao Mei tightly with the other.
Saying he was holding Xiao Mei is actually a bit inappropriate, because judging from Xiao Mei's size, Pei Hang could barely wrap his arm around her belly.
The key was that Xiao Mei cooperated with Pei Hang, making it look like it was being held by Pei Hang and couldn't leave, which forced Xu Moran to reach out and pull it.
Just as Xu Moran's hand was about to touch Xiao Mei, Pei Hang exclaimed, "No!"
Xu Moran was startled. He reached out to grab Xiao Mei's hand, but froze in mid-air. He asked Pei Hang, "Dr. Pei, what's wrong?"
Pei Hang hugged Xiao Mei tightly with both hands, accompanied by a pitiful plea, "Officer Xu, please, let Xiao Mei stay with me tonight. I'm scared to sleep alone after watching a horror movie!"
Xu Moran, "..."
Looking at Pei Hang in front of her, Xu Moran didn't know what words to use to describe him. Two thoughts popped into her head. The first thought was that if Pei Hang was acting, then his acting skills were definitely good. It would be easy to mistake him for a graduate of either the Shanghai Theatre Academy or the Central Academy of Drama. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was still quite realistic overall.
My second thought is that watching horror movies is scary, especially since he watched them three times. He was probably genuinely scared and also genuinely wanted Xiaomei to stay with him.
In fact, whether Pei Hang was truly scared or pretending to be scared was not that important to Xu Moran, because she only returned to find Xiao Mei because she was worried that Pei Hang would abuse Xiao Mei behind her and Xu Ye's back.
Now that she could see that Xiao Mei was not only not being mistreated by Pei Hang, but was actually living quite comfortably, she was relieved. When she pulled back her hand that was holding Xiao Mei, she said to Pei Hang, "Dr. Pei, then I'll let Xiao Mei bother you for one night. I'll come to pick her up from your place tomorrow morning."
Pei Hang realized something and immediately rejected Xu Mo's suggestion, "Officer Xu, I've already borrowed Xiao Mei for one night, so of course I'll take it back the next day. There's no reason for you to come and pick it up."
