Why are you rushing around so late at night? Can't you come back tomorrow?
Du Lei wanted to hug Pei Zhi, but he was worried that her body odor was too strong.
"I want to see you as soon as possible." Du Lei said pitifully, "I have to go back to the army tomorrow evening."
The troops take roll call every day, and even on leave, if you go out during the day, you have to come back at night. The military management is impeccable.
"You only have one day off, and you're still running back and forth? Can't you let yourself rest?"
Du Lei laughed and said, "Seeing you is more effective than taking ten days or half a month off."
"Have you become so smooth-talking because you spend all your time with men?"
Du Lei held Pei Zhi's hand. "Will you stay here with me tonight?"
Pei Zhi hesitated for a moment. Jiang Qingyuan had drunk too much and was asleep. He probably wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night.
Du Lei noticed Pei Zhi's hesitation, which meant there was hope.
"I'm going back to my unit tomorrow, and I'll be going on a mission the day after tomorrow."
"On a mission? What for?"
Du Lei shook his head: "This is a secret, I can't say."
Normally, Du Lei and his team don't get a day off before going on a mission.
This mission is somewhat dangerous, so they said they'd give everyone a day off to relax.
In reality, they either ask everyone to write their wills, or those who live nearby can visit their families and have a meal together.
I don't know if I can come back, so I don't want to have any regrets.
Du Lei was not a filial son. He knew that if he had a day off, he would want to rush to Pei Zhi's side.
Pei Zhi asked worriedly, "Is it dangerous?"
If Du Lei were to die during a mission, would she still be able to complete her mission?
Du Lei did not answer Pei Zhi's question, "Don't leave tonight?"
Pei Zhi really couldn't refuse Du Lei, so she could only nod and stay.
The two were cuddling at the door, about to go inside, when Pei Zhi suddenly heard some faint noises.
Pei Zhi listened carefully, and the sound seemed to disappear. "Did you hear anything?"
Du Lei glanced towards the stairwell, then shook his head. "No, probably just a rat or something."
Du Lei, being a soldier, said he hadn't seen anyone, so Pei Zhi felt relieved.
In fact, Du Lei had noticed that there was someone behind Pei Zhi when she came upstairs.
The sound of one person going upstairs is completely different from that of two people. Even if the person behind him tries to keep quiet, Du Lei can still hear it.
Pei Wang knew that he lived upstairs, so he wouldn't secretly follow Pei Zhi.
Therefore, Du Lei was convinced that the only person who would follow Pei Zhi upstairs was Jiang Qingyuan.
No matter how capable Du Lei was, he would never have imagined that there was another man involved with Pei Zhi who would be staying at Pei's house tonight.
Cheng Xuelin had already gone to sleep when he heard a faint knocking sound.
Cheng Xuelin assumed that Jiang Qingyuan had drunk too much and Pei Zhi couldn't take care of him.
Just then, Cheng Xuelin heard the door next door open and thought he should go and ask if there was anything he could do to help.
As a result, Pei Zhi was seen quietly leaving the house.
For some inexplicable reason, Cheng Xuelin didn't say anything, but instead kept his distance and followed behind Pei Zhi.
Then, Cheng Xuelin followed Pei Zhi upstairs and saw a scene that shocked him greatly.
Pei Zhi was seen arguing with a man late at night.
Moreover, this man lives upstairs from Pei Zhi?
Pei Zhi came upstairs voluntarily, so there was no situation where Pei Zhi was forced.
Pei Zhi was happy to agree.
Cheng Xuelin huddled in the stairwell, his mind instantly in complete chaos.
Pei Zhi was actually having an affair with another man behind Jiang Qingyuan's back.
Did Jiang Qingyuan know that the man living upstairs from him had this kind of relationship with Pei Zhi?
Pei Zhi is incredibly audacious; she actually allowed a random man to live upstairs in their house.
Cheng Xuelin came to his senses, went downstairs, and returned to his room.
Cheng Xuelin lay on the bed with the door ajar so he could spot Pei Zhi as soon as she returned.
It was past midnight when Cheng Xuelin glanced at his watch by the moonlight. It was already four in the morning, and Pei Zhi still hadn't returned.
So, did Pei Zhi abandon Jiang Qingyuan and spend the night upstairs?
For a moment, Cheng Xuelin couldn't quite describe the emotions he felt.
Do you think Pei Zhi is promiscuous?
No, Cheng Xuelin had no such idea whatsoever.
Cheng Xuelin just thought it was a bit strange that Pei Zhi would have another man outside.
Was it because Jiang Qingyuan treated her badly? Or was it because Jiang Qingyuan couldn't serve her well?
So that's why Pei Zhi had someone else outside?
Jiang doesn't seem particularly thin, so he should be in good health, right?
Cheng Xuelin pondered for a long time until six o'clock in the morning when he heard voices coming from the living room.
Pei Wang and his brother Pei were going to deliver goods in the morning, so his sister-in-law got up and made them some simple breakfast first.
Cheng Xuelin couldn't stay in bed any longer and got up too.
Sister-in-law Pei asked with concern, "Xiao Lin, why are you up so early? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Cheng Xuelin shook his head frantically, "It's alright, sister-in-law, I'm going out to buy some breakfast."
"Oh, no need for you, I'll go buy it myself."
"Sister-in-law, you go ahead with your work, I'll go buy it and be right back." Cheng Xuelin said, then took off running.
Sister-in-law Pei sighed, "Young people are so nimble."
Cheng Xuelin didn't go downstairs; instead, he ran upstairs and knocked heavily on the door several times.
If Pei Zhi doesn't go back soon, she won't be able to explain herself when Jiang Qingyuan wakes up.
After knocking on the door, Cheng Xuelin pressed his ear to the door and heard movement inside. He then quickly went downstairs; this time, he really was going to buy breakfast.
