◎ Hush money.◎
As soon as the words came out, Pei Ji suddenly felt something was wrong.
He shouldn't have cared about this.
Not to mention that Feiyi is himself, the more An Jiu likes Feiyi, the better it is for him.
Also, whether she likes Fei Yi or not has nothing to do with "Pei Ji".
Who An Jiu likes and who he cares about has nothing to do with Pei Ji.
So why did he ask this question?
Pei Ji closed his eyes, and a layer of coldness gradually appeared in his dark eyes.
He turned his face slightly, trying to push the girl on his shoulder away.
Over the past few days, An Jiu and he became much more intimate with each other, so much so that he unknowingly ignored the distance between them.
Pei Ji knew that An Jiu's attitude changed temporarily only because he saved her.
Just like what she always said, he is a good man.
Because he was a good man, the young lady felt guilty and began to trust him, treating him as a close friend and even confessing to him the emotional problems hidden in her heart.
A hint of silent mockery flashed across Pei Ji's eyes.
He always showed a gentle and kind face to others, so others also thought he was kind and compassionate, and considered him a rare kind-hearted person in this world.
This is true for everyone in the world.
Today, she is no exception.
She would never know that beneath the gentle and smiling face of the past, there was a cold and ruthless face.
He just pulled out a sneer on his lips, but when he turned around and saw the girl's face with her eyes closed and sleeping soundly, his lips became stiff again.
No wonder she didn't answer for a long time, it turned out she fell asleep.
The girl drank too much, her cheeks were flushed, and the corners of her eyes were wet with tears, her eyes were sparkling.
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, perhaps because she felt cold. She pouted her bright red lips, hugged her arms and hunched her body, then her head slipped into the man's arms, and she groped with her fingers to pull his wide sleeves and cover herself with them.
After it was covered, his frown slowly relaxed and his expression became calm.
Pei Ji: “…”
He lowered his eyes and looked at the petite figure who had found a nest, lying on his knees, and curled up with his sleeves rolled up. There was no expression on her fair and handsome face.
After a long silence, Pei Ji leaned over slightly, picked up the soft little body horizontally, and stood up.
This is the last time, and I will never indulge her like this again.
He warned himself in his heart.
The injury on the back of my shoulder hadn't healed yet, and due to being pulled so hard, I felt a pain.
Pei Ji didn't even frown, he turned around and walked out expressionlessly.
The girl was sleeping soundly, not waking up at all. Her little red face was pressed against his chest, covered by her thick eyelashes, like a delicate little fan.
The magnolia tree above her head was in full bloom. A petal fell quietly in the night and landed in the girl's jet-black hair.
The pink and white dotted with black are particularly eye-catching.
The man's eyes moved slightly, and he leaned forward slightly, just about to blow the petal off, but the girl's eyelashes suddenly trembled a few times, and then she opened her eyes hazily.
As if she was so drunk that she didn't know what day it was, the girl stared at him blankly with a blank look in her eyes. Suddenly, her brows knitted together and she mumbled with her tongue sticking out: "Pei Ji, you actually kissed me secretly!"
Pei Ji: “???”
After a moment of shock, he subconsciously wanted to refute: "I didn't..."
However, before she could finish her words, the girl closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Pei Ji: “…”
It's like punching into cotton, with nowhere to exert force.
Pei Ji took a deep breath, and without further delay, he quickly walked to the girl's room and threw her into the bed.
When he was about to get up and leave, his sleeve was suddenly pulled by something. He turned around and found that his sleeve had been pressed under her body without him knowing when. The girl had already fallen into a deep sleep and did not seem to be awake at all.
Pei Ji naturally couldn't wake her up again. After all, he was standing up now, and it would be difficult to explain if he was discovered.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand, exhaled his strength, and cut the sleeve straight off.
The snow-white cloth fluttered and fell on the bed. The girl turned over and pressed it under her body, and there was no trace of the snow anymore.
The next day, An Jiu sat up from the bed with his swollen head and began to recall what happened last night.
Every time she drinks, she is really drunk, but she will remain clear-headed, so she won't say or do anything wrong, but she still appears drunk.
Otherwise, how could he possibly deceive someone like Pei Ji?
He is a miracle doctor, can't he tell if someone is drunk?
An Jiu never fights a battle without preparation.
After reviewing his memories, Anjiu's eyes curved and a smile appeared between his delicate eyebrows.
She got up from the bed humming a song, walked out slowly, and met the eyes of Ah Qi who was chopping wood in the yard. There was a gossipy gleam in his eyes.
"Aqi, boil some water for me. I want to take a bath." She said with a smile.
Ah Qi agreed immediately: "Okay."
After answering, he said to An Jiu attentively: "Miss An, my son is in the pharmacy, you can go there to find him."
An Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you."
But she wouldn't go looking for him, there was no need.
An Jiu stayed at home alone for the whole day. Pei Ji didn't come back all day and had dinner outside. He didn't return home until it was getting dark and dusk was approaching.
Hearing the familiar sound of a wheelchair rolling in the yard, An Jiu rubbed his wrists which had become sore from writing too much, looked down at the book in front of him, and a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Pei Ji pushed the wheelchair towards his room. When he passed the door of the next room, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
A clear and tender female voice sounded: "Pei Ji, wait a minute."
The girl, who had rarely changed her clothes, was standing at the door in a goose yellow dress. She looked like a blooming forsythia on a branch, and her fair little face looked even more delicate and charming.
Pei Ji paused and the wheelchair stopped at the right time.
He raised his head slightly, and looked at her quietly with his dark eyes.
Her voice was as gentle as ever: "What's wrong, Miss An?"
The girl pursed her red lips and lowered her eyelids. For some reason, she didn't look at him, and seemed to be avoiding him.
She held something in her hand, glanced at him quickly, then threw her hand towards him, and the thing wrapped in the handkerchief fell heavily into the arms of the young man in white.
"This is for you, take a look for yourself." After saying this in a hurry, the girl slammed the door shut again.
The mahogany door closed tightly in front of him, but Pei Ji could hear the girl's footsteps and she did not move.
She was still standing behind the door, with her back against it, as if waiting for something.
A hint of doubt flashed across his face. He picked up the thing in his arms and opened the handkerchief wrapped around it.
After a quick glance, his eyes suddenly fixed.
Pei Ji never expected that An Jiu would actually give this to him.
The thing thrown into his arms was none other than the magical secret book of the Golden Snake Villa that attracted countless people to fight for.
Does she know how many people in the world are flocking to this secret book?
How precious is this secret book nowadays?
How could she just take it out like that?
Moreover, Jin Yanwan had repeatedly warned her in the letter that day not to tell anyone that she knew the contents of the secret book, but she didn't listen at all?
Think about the many martial arts sects that are still staying in Jinshe Town. The reason why they linger and even want to attack the Demon Cult is not because they want to get this secret book?
Thinking of this, Pei Ji's heart tightened.
He quickly put the secret book into his sleeve and knocked on the closed door with a cold face.
After knocking twice, a crack appeared inside.
"Do you know what I was given?"
The girl only showed half of her face, looked at him quietly through the crack in the door, and whispered, "I know."
"I guess you don't know." Pei Ji's voice was cold, and the evil fire in his heart grew wildly again.
He used to think that this woman was not too stupid. She knew how to protect herself when she encountered danger and was not like a dodder who only relied on others.
Now it seems that she is not stupid at all, but extremely stupid.
With her personality, if she were to travel the world, she would probably be cheated and sold out within a few days and have to help others count the money.
How could there be such a stupid and foolish woman in the world? She gave her heart to someone who saved her. If you really recognize someone, you will give everything without hesitation.
The bad temper he usually displayed seemed to be just the thorns on a hedgehog to protect itself. Once he gained her trust, his extremely soft heart would be revealed.
Should I say she is naive or stupid?
"Don't you want this? I'll give it to you, just take it... Just don't tell anyone else."
The girl opened the door a little, poked her little head out, blinked her innocent eyes and spoke to Pei Ji.
The young man in white had a calm expression as he stared at her delicate and beautiful eyes, examining her carefully inch by inch as if he was meeting her for the first time.
Facing his focused gaze, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the girl's face.
"W-why are you looking at me like that?"
Perhaps she also knew that this behavior was inappropriate, and perhaps she also struggled, but in the end she chose to copy the secret book to him.
The girl's eyes were tangled. Seeing that the man had been looking at her without saying anything, she bit her lip and couldn't help clearing her throat. Finally, she said hesitantly: "Pei Ji, I know you like me. You saved me this time regardless of your life. I, I have nothing to repay you, and I also have someone I like, so I will use this as a reward. Do you think it's okay?"
Hearing this, the man's expression finally changed subtly: "You mean, use this... to repay me?"
"Yes, what else?"
The girl said this as a matter of course, and when she saw his strange expression, she suddenly showed a look of fear: "You don't want me to marry you, do you? No, I can't do that. I will never marry a cripple!"
The girl, who had become very obedient and well-behaved because she felt she owed someone a favor because she was rescued a few days ago, regained her confidence as a young lady after repaying the "life-saving grace" today, and spoke without any reservations.
"I still remember a little bit about what happened last night. You kissed me, didn't you? Anyway, you saved my life, so I won't care about it. But you are not allowed to take advantage of me again in the future, okay?"
After saying this in a timid way, the girl wrinkled her nose and said awkwardly, "Also, no matter what I said last night, just pretend you didn't see or hear it!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a merciless slam of the door. Then, there was a series of clattering footsteps of a girl.
Pei Ji could even imagine the scenes based on those sounds.
The girl trotted to the bed, threw herself into it, buried her face in the soft quilt, and let out a soft whine.
"Ahhhh how could this happen! I was crying against him!"
"How shameful, how shameful!"
"Is that hush money enough? Do you need more? Wuwuwu..."
Pei Ji lowered his head and looked at the secret book in his hand, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
This? Hush money?
The author has something to say:
The eldest lady paid a sky-high price for keeping quiet, of course.
The eldest lady can't marry a cripple, so she can marry him when he is no longer crippled qwq
