Chapter 466 Why, Miss Liu
She couldn't help but think of their first meeting, the young man with the fresh cedar hair and a distant and gentle face.
"Your appearance hasn't changed at all."
She muttered quietly, a hint of bitterness in her tone.
"Why, are you envious of me? You haven't changed at all. Everyone says you're beautiful and look like a little girl."
Pei Ji's facial features are delicate. Apart from becoming more delicate over the years, he has not shown any signs of aging at all.
Come to think of it, he is almost thirty years old.
Three or four years older than Zheng Ci.
"I feel pretty good now." Zheng Ci looked around thoughtfully.
"Have you ever regretted marrying me?"
Pei Ji paused in his steps and stood still, looking at the woman in front of him with burning eyes.
I saw her lips opening and closing, her voice very softly saying, "I have never regretted it, and I will never regret it in the future."
Pei Ji laughed, and laughed happily.
The warm hands hold each other tightly, through the body temperature, lifting the skin, as if two independent and lonely souls intertwined together, gradually merging, gradually becoming indistinguishable from each other, you in me, me in you.
Not far away, Pei Jue came over with a cloak. When he was about to get close, he saw his father and mother hugging each other as if no one was around. His mother leaned in his father's arms with a smile on her face. The breeze blew on their faces, and their hair swayed gently. At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Countless tranquility and beauty in the world materialized at this moment, forming everything before his eyes.
The corners of his lips curled up. He didn't understand the scene in front of him, but he was very happy.
Among the friends who went to school with the teacher, every family had its own problems. Zhang Guang's family, his father had just taken in a beautiful concubine, and his mother was fighting with the concubine every day. The house was in a mess, and even his sister, who had been bedridden with a high fever for several days, had no one to take care of her.
Zhang Guang was very angry. The little guy stayed with his sister all day long, fearing that she would fall ill and never get back to health.
He couldn't concentrate on his studies and looked forward to the snow every day so that he could go home to see his sister and see if she was okay.
The Linli family was relatively peaceful, but his father had a crush on someone in his early years. That person was the daughter of his father's master. In recent years, the woman's husband died early and she became a widow, so she returned to her parents' home to live.
He could see his father from time to time, and he went to his master's house more and more often.
His mother was a soft-hearted person. She knew about it but didn't expose it. She just sulked by herself and her health kept getting worse.
He Gu's family had neither beautiful concubines nor the white moonlight of his early years, but his grandmother was a harsh and mean person. His mother had been married to the He family for ten years, but she was always imposing rules and coming home in tears.
His father always comforted He Gu's mother, saying that things would be fine.
But he turned a blind eye to his own mother's behavior of torturing his wife, and was helpless. Why could he hear his mother's low sobs every time he went home?
Compared to others, Pei Jue feels that he is already very happy, and he cherishes the happiness in front of him.
In the future, he also wants to become a man like his father, love his wife and children, and realize his ambitions outside.
Pei Ji, upon learning of his son's great wish, laughed heartily, patted his head, and said, "Then you must not be afraid of hardship."
Pei Jue's eyes were brewing flames under the candlelight, "Well, my son is not afraid of hardship. Dad, you can do it, and so can I."
Not far away, Zheng Ci was holding a book in her hand, her slender white fingers closing the book, and she was smiling at her son's childish words and the barely perceptible cunning in her husband's eyes.
In order to realize his ambition, Pei Ji invited a master to teach Pei Jue martial arts.
In the name of success, one must first train one's body well. If one trains one's body well, life and death will disappear, and all ideals and wishes will be in vain.
Pei Jue promised solemnly, left the house with a smile on his face, and returned with a tired body and red eyes.
"Mom, I don't want to practice martial arts anymore." Pei Jue pursed his lips and complained with a look of grievance, not forgetting to glance at the culprit Pei Ji.
Where's the easygoing atmosphere? Where's the easy-going master?
He just said he was tired, but the master punished him by making him stand in horse stance for an extra cup of tea.
His legs are still sore.
Zheng Ci looked at her son seriously, "Are you really not going to practice anymore?"
"Yes." He carefully looked at his mother's face, and was relieved when he saw that she was not angry.
"Okay, then I won't practice."
Seeing Zheng Ci agreed so readily, Pei Jue was a little surprised. He thought his mother would at least say a few words to him, saying that he had no perseverance and persistence.
Pei Ji looked at him and nodded, "Forget it if you don't want to practice."
Zheng Ci: "But you have to remember, you were the one who said you didn't want to practice today. If you want to practice again in the future, you won't be able to."
Pei Jue's eyes widened, "Why?"
Zheng Ci: "Practicing martial arts and exercising your body should start from a young age. Besides, if you can give up so easily, it means you have no affinity with dancing. If you don't have affinity, don't force it."
Pei Jue felt like there was a ball of cotton stuck in his heart, which made him feel more uncomfortable than his mother scolding him.
But why? Shouldn't he be happy?
At night, he tossed and turned in bed, thinking about everything that had happened that day, thinking about his solemn promise, and thinking about his mother's easy agreement to let him go, saying that there was no need to force it if it was not meant to be.
He suddenly felt that it was not impossible for him.
He can hold on.
When he woke up the next day, the nurse looked at him in surprise, "Master, didn't you say we wouldn't go to the martial arts training? You were so tired yesterday, and the mistress and the master also agreed. Why are you making things difficult for yourself? You are young, and studying is your real job."
Pei Jue put on his boots and walked out, "I want to practice martial arts."
I kept doing this practice for ten years.
As spring passed and autumn came, the little snow-white Pei Jue grew up. He had a tall and straight body, a firm and steady gaze, and picturesque eyebrows. He combined the softness of Zheng Ci and the refinement of Pei Ji. In the capital, he inherited his father's popularity among the girls and aunts. Wherever he went, he attracted attention.
"Pei Jue, look at the person next to him."
He Wei nudged him with his elbow and winked. Pei Jue glanced at him and said, "What are you looking at? We're in class. Study hard."
He Gu pouted, "You are like a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. All the girls outside are looking at you. I am almost at the age to get married. If I can't find someone I like, my parents will find someone to meet me."
Pei Jue just listened to the class carefully without blinking.
Wait until the get out of class is over before asking: "So, do you have someone you like?"
Why did he think Pei Jue didn't hear it? Now that he saw that he was not completely indifferent to his affairs, his anger immediately disappeared.
"I...I like, like that person..."
Pei Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who?"
"That's right, the girl from the Liu family." He Gu's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
"The one from the Liu family." Pei Jue deliberately said loudly, looking behind him.
He Gu hurriedly covered his mouth, "Are you my friend or not? You're talking so loudly. Miss Liu and her friends' private school is right behind us. If anyone hears me, I won't be able to face anyone."
