"Just think of me as having a fit of madness." Xu Jiayue pushed his hand away and scratched her head in frustration.
"Fine, I don't care about you, just don't cause any trouble here, otherwise your brother won't let me off the hook." Pei Yang said irritably after being pushed away by her.
"Don't worry, I won't drag you down even if I die!" Xu Jiayue picked up her bag and walked towards the door.
Pei Yang took Xu Jiayue's hand and frowned slightly: "Where are you going? I'll take you."
"No need." Xu Jiayue shook her arm, but couldn't shake off Pei Yang. She glared at him angrily, "Let go..."
Before she could finish speaking, the landline phone rang, interrupting her.
Pei Yang glanced at the incoming call, then let go of Xu Jiayue's hand, answered the phone, and said hello.
Xu Jiayue was about to leave when she heard Pei Yang behind her say, "Looking for Jiayue? She..."
Xu Jiayue rushed to Pei Yang's side, covered his mouth with her hand, and shook her head desperately.
Pei Yang blinked, indicating that he knew what to do, and only then did she release his mouth.
“Jiayue was with me last night, but left early this morning,” Pei Yang said to Xu Tingchuan on the other end of the phone.
After exchanging a few more words, Xu Tingchuan finally hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Yang looked at Xu Jiayue and asked, "He sounded very worried about you. Why didn't you let him know you were here?"
Xu Jiayue pursed her lips and remained silent. She was grateful to Pei Yang for helping her cover it up, but she had no intention of telling him those things.
Seeing this, Pei Yang stopped asking questions and said, "Even if you're leaving, wait until your clothes are delivered so you can change. Who do you want to stink if you go out like this?"
Xu Jiayue lowered her hands, slumped back onto the sofa, clasped her hands together to support her forehead, and remained silent for a long time.
Pei Yang noticed that drops of tears rolled down her skirt, wetting the black fabric.
He sat down next to her, handed her two tissues, and said nothing more.
Xu Jiayue cried quietly, only the sound of her breathing could be heard, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she slowly leaned into Pei Yang's arms.
Pei Yang had no choice but to sit still and let her lean on him, silently keeping her company.
The cleaning lady opened the door and saw the two people sitting intimately on the sofa. She paused for a moment and tried to leave.
Pei Yang opened his mouth to her and said something silently, then she walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Jiayue cried for a while before slowly stopping. Seeing Pei Yang's expression, she choked back tears and said sarcastically, "Just how many shameful things do you have? You even hired a deaf-mute cleaning lady. Does she not know how to read?"
Pei Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, not denying it, and looked at Xu Jiayue's swollen eyelids, saying, "You still have the mood to insult me, so it seems things haven't gotten too bad yet."
"Hehe." Xu Jiayue felt that the word "terrible" did not suit her current mood; "dead" would be more appropriate.
Pei Yang was very curious about what had happened to her, but judging from her previous refusal to answer, he knew he wouldn't get any information out of her, so he simply stopped asking.
After the hourly worker finished making breakfast and setting it on the table, she started cleaning the room.
Pei Yang pulled Xu Jiayue over to eat breakfast. Xu Jiayue lowered her head, swallowed a little with difficulty, and could no longer eat.
"Go and rest again. Get up and eat when you're hungry. I won't tell your brother about you being here." Pei Yang felt it was better to keep an eye on her in her current state.
Xu Jiayue didn't know where else she could go, and this was the best option, so she put away her sharp tongue and nodded.
