Pei Ziheng acted obediently, "Okay, Dad, I won't tell the truth."

The father and son sang the same tune. Wang Xiuzhu could no longer hold back her tears. She ran back to her room crying and slammed the door loudly.

Wang Huizhen had no choice but to apologize to Shen Mingzhu on behalf of her niece. Shen Mingzhu said she didn't care, but she was suspicious in her heart whether the other party was deliberately trying to shirk the debt.

We agreed to give the watch to her if I lost. That watch is worth a lot of money.

After dinner, Pei Yang said goodbye to Shen Mingzhu and his son and went home.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu walked out of the gate of the residential area where the Lin family lived, Pei Yang grabbed her wrist. Judging from the strength he used, it was obvious that he was angry.

"So I explained so much to you this afternoon, but you just ignored it, right?"

Shen Mingzhu has always been soft-hearted and would not tolerate tough situations. When a man vents his anger on her, she also gets angry.

"Let me go! Just talk, why are you touching me?"

Seeing her frown, Pei Yang loosened his grip a little, but did not let her go. "This is not called physical contact. If I really did physical contact, your small body would not be able to withstand it."

“…”

Bastard! Seeing her angry, Pei Yang lost his temper and smiled. "You used me as a bet, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you're still angry?"

"Can you blame me for this? Others have picked up their chopsticks to grab food from my bowl, and you still don't allow me to fight back? How dare you settle accounts with me? This is all caused by you. If it weren't for you, would I have been embarrassed and humiliated by Wang Xiuzhu again and again?"

Pei Yang looked at her leisurely, "How did she humiliate you?"

Shen Mingzhu snorted coldly, "What? Can you still help me seek justice?"

"Well, forget it if I don't know. If I knew, I would definitely help you get justice. If a man like me can't even protect my own wife, then these twenty-six years would have been wasted. Let's go back."

Shen Mingzhu looked at the tall back of the man and thought that the man must be pretending.

She wanted to see how long he could pretend.

At that moment, she said nothing and just let the man pull her back to the Lin family.

Pei Ziheng, who was left behind by the two, asked: Did you forget something? When they were all downstairs at the Lin family's building, Shen Mingzhu finally remembered Pei Ziheng, "Hey, where's Ziheng?"

"I'm behind you."

I heard my stepson's faint, breathless voice from behind me.

It was really difficult for a four-year-old child to climb up three floors with his short legs.

Pei Yang looked back at his son's resentful little face and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Then Shen Mingzhu kicked his calf.

"What are you standing there for? Can't you see your son is very tired? Go hold him."

Pei Yang looked at her, then at his son, finally let her go and picked up his son.

While he was holding the child, Shen Mingzhu turned around and walked downstairs.

Pei Yang followed her in big strides, "Why are you going back? I promised to seek justice for you."

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself, I won't go crazy with you. It would be awkward to come to my house during the New Year. Besides, she has already slapped Wang Xiuzhu in the face with her actions today. She should leave some way out so that they can meet again in the future.

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself."

Pei Ziheng, holding the heavy weight in his arms, walked effortlessly and caught up with her in just a few steps.

"You don't have to go, but let me make it clear first, you can't get angry with me about this anymore."

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not that petty. If I were to fuss over every little thing, I would be so pissed off that I would die."

Pei Yang smiled, "If you're not angry, then walk slower. Why are you walking so fast?"

The night was nice tonight, with a bright moon and sparse stars. He wanted to take a walk with her and talk.

It’s hard to describe the feeling, but just walking with her without saying a word, I felt it was very interesting.

Shen Mingzhu tilted her head to look at the man holding her stepson and gradually slowed down her pace.

"I didn't realize you were such a good cook. I thought you didn't do any work at your mother's house."

Only then can you have a delicate skin and tender flesh.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "Not working and not knowing how to work are two different things."

Pei Yang smiled, "I've eaten a lot of salt-baked shrimps, but yours is the best. Did you learn how to make it?"

"Um."

She did learn it, but only forty years later.

"You learned it for me? How do you know I like salt-baked shrimp? Did my sister tell you? What else did she tell you?"

Faced with the man's shamelessness, Shen Mingzhu was speechless. After talking and joking all the way, she soon returned to the dormitory.

The 1.4-meter single bed was just right for Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng, one big and one small, to sleep on each end before Pei Yang came back.

Now that Pei Yang is back, this bed definitely can't accommodate three people.

Pei Yang went to the next door and borrowed a bed with a trestle.

After borrowing the bed, he placed it next to the original bed, wanting to turn the single bed into a double bed.

Shen Mingzhu said hesitantly, "Please move the bed across the street."

Pei Yang stopped, straightened up and looked at her.

Pei Ziheng, who was playing with a Rubik's Cube on a wooden chair, was also looking at Shen Mingzhu. Both father and son had surprisingly consistent questions and confusion in their eyes.

Shen Mingzhu pretended to be calm and explained, "If you sleep next to me, it will be inconvenient for me to get up at night."

"What's inconvenient?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"I'm afraid of stepping on you."

"I'm not afraid. Feel free to step on it. If it breaks, it's my bad luck."

“…”

Once it is confirmed, a man will not be easily fooled.

Pei Yang crossed his arms and looked at her leisurely, with an expression that said, "I wonder what other tricks you can come up with."

Shen Mingzhu gave up.

Since there is a child around, he won't force her to do anything.

It’s not that she doesn’t like Pei Yang. On the contrary, she likes Pei Yang very much. No matter his appearance, personality, or the way he deals with people, all the good things about him hit her aesthetic point.

The reason why she is so pretentious is that, first, she is not familiar with the man enough to sleep in the same bed with him, and second, she is worried about the man's ending.

If the plot in the book is followed, Pei Yang can only live for another year at most. No matter how open-minded she is, she cannot talk about love with a dying man.

After washing and tidying up, the three of them lay down side by side.

Shen Mingzhu slept on the inside against the wall, Pei Ziheng slept in the middle, and Pei Yang slept on the outermost support bed.

Both the father and son slept well, without grinding their teeth or snoring, but Shen Mingzhu couldn't fall asleep for some unknown reason and felt upset.

“Are you frying eggs?”

A man's teasing voice rang out in the darkness, and Shen Mingzhu's body froze.

"Finished?"

After waiting for a while without hearing her response, Pei Yang asked again.

Shen Mingzhu was speechless but also thought he was funny, so she followed suit, "Yeah, I'm eating it right now, it's delicious, and it's a soft-boiled egg."

In the darkness, she heard the sound of a man turning over.

Inexplicably, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, as dangerous as a wild animal lurking in the woods at night, staring at its prey.

She turned her head slightly, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Pei Yang could see the movement of her head turning and the faint outline of her face. His long-term night flight work gave him excellent eyesight.

In fact, he couldn't sleep either.

His son was sleeping next to him, and his delicate little wife was lying on the other side of his son. His heart was burning with warmth just thinking about it.

"Want to go to the beach?"

Imagine him and her walking side by side on the beach under the moonlight, with the sea breeze lifting her long hair. That scene must be beautiful.

"What are we going to do at the beach?" Shen Mingzhu asked casually.

"what you up to?"

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself that she didn't want to do anything and just wanted to go to bed quickly. As she thought so, she said it out loud.

"I'm sleepy."

"...I didn't realize you had such wild thoughts. You wanted to go to the beach with me to sleep. The child is still here. You should restrain your thoughts a little."

“…”

Is that what she meant? ? ? Second update~ will be on the shelves tomorrow, with 10,000 new chapters.
