The smile on Pei Zhiting's face faded a bit, and he said coldly:
"Pei Hetong, don't think I don't know what you did to Jiaojiao back then?"
Pei Hetong's expression changed.
"Bang…"
Pei Zhiting suddenly punched him in the face. He staggered back two steps, leaning his waist against the car door before he managed to stand firm.
"Pei Zhiting."
Song Xijiao quickly pushed the door open and got out of the car, holding back Pei Zhiting who was about to take action.
Pei Hetong reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, looking at Song Xijiao who was protecting Pei Zhiting.
"Do you like him that much?"
Song Xijiao's back stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to look at Pei Hetong.
"Yes, I just like him."
"Song Xijiao, you will regret this."
Pei Hetong pushed Song Xijiao away, opened the car door, turned around and got in the car. The door slammed shut with a "bang". He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the car rushed out with a whoosh.
Pei Zhiting cursed, "Crazy."
The sunny day suddenly turned cloudy, and heavy rain hit the leaves. The rain quickly gathered into small puddles, and then gathered together along the slope, flowing into the sewer down the slope. Occasionally, a late student would run by with his schoolbag, splashing water along the way.
"It's raining." Song Xijiao said, looking up at the sky.
What was he trying to say before?
Could it be that what he meant was that his uncle was not that kind of person? But if that was the case, what did he mean by what he said later?
Song Xijiao was wearing a thin dress and her shoulders were quickly soaked.
Pei Zhiting put his coat on her, and a faint scent of sandalwood mixed with citrus scent came to her face.
"Stay away from Pei Hetong from now on."
“I didn’t know him well.”
Song Xijiao took two steps forward before she realized that the person behind her had not caught up. She turned around and saw Pei Zhiting standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at her.
The raindrops hit the ground, quickly gathering into puddles, which were then quickly splashed by people stepping on them.
Emotions surged in his eyes, like clouds that absorbed countless moisture and wind, capable of stirring up a storm at any moment, one layer thicker than the other. After a moment, the clouds dissipated and the rain stopped, with mist peeking out from behind the clouds. He reached out and held her hand, pulling her forward.
"Jiaojiao, your vision wasn't very good back then?"
Her vision isn't very good now.
The two walked all the way to the parking lot, and Song Xijiao was inevitably wet. She was still wearing Pei Zhiting's coat, so her body was fine, but her trouser legs were wet, and her calves were a little red from the cold.
Pei Zhiting hugged her and sat in the back seat before letting the driver drive. He pulled down the tailgate and took out the spare blanket he had placed in the car last time. He stripped her naked and then wrapped her in the blanket, wrapping her around and around like a spring roll.
He bought such a big blanket just to wrap her up.
His white shirt was soaked by the rain, looking like he was not wearing any clothes. A drop of rain slid down his collarbone and sank into his hidden chest line.
He reached out to wipe away the raindrops, just like when he was in the Buddhist temple, he reached out to wipe away the water stains on her lips.
"Don't move."
He lowered his head and kissed away the lipstick on her lips bit by bit, as if dyeing the finest cold jade with his unique warmth, as if erasing the sound of the wooden fish that lingered in his heart.
She subconsciously grabbed his collar. When she was dating Pei He before, they just held hands at most and rarely even kissed. Having sex in the car anytime and anywhere like now was something she had never experienced before.
"Jiaojiao, you are already an old married couple, why are you still so shy?"
"It's normal to be shy, right? It would be abnormal if you weren't shy one day."
"Is this how you seduced He Tong back then?"
"In a family like ours, if you're too dignified, people will think you're scheming. If you're frivolous, they'll think you're immoral. But if you're too outstanding, they'll say you have ulterior motives. Jiaojiao, tell me, what did you want from He back then? A man like him, besides being reborn into a good family, what else does he have? Jiaojiao, were you blind back then, that's why you fell for him?"
She didn't like Pei Hetong, nor would she have anything to do with the Pei family, let alone marry Pei Zhiting.
"I don't know. When I was in junior high school, there was a girl in the class next to mine who was expelled from school. I heard that after she returned home, she gave birth to a child, but her parents abandoned the child."
That winter was particularly cold. The students from the junior high school and high school were all standing on the playground. The winter wind was raging from all directions. The teacher on the podium was holding the microphone and giving an impassioned speech. Song Xijiao was wearing a thin school uniform and was shivering with cold. She shrank her neck and stomped her frozen feet.
There were two girls talking quietly next to her, and the wind carried the faint sound to her ears.
"I heard that she had a heavy hemorrhage while giving birth at home and almost died."
"At that time, many boys in school were proud of how many girls they had slept with. They would even compare the girl next door to the girl in their class, saying one had a big butt and the other had small breasts."
“………”
"I buried myself in my studies all day, oblivious to what was happening outside. Later, I realized I was one of those girls who was compared, the one who was discussed most frequently. They said I was pretending to be noble and innocent. Later..."
Later, Pei Hetong confessed to her, and she thought she must find someone with a strong family background who would not dare to do anything wrong to her.
Pei Hetong at that time just met her requirements.
"The most Pei Hetong has ever done is kiss my forehead. He also promised that he wouldn't take the final step before putting on a wedding dress for me. He promised me that he wouldn't be one of those guys."
These conditions were indeed tempting enough for her at that time.
"He was really good to me at that time. We would go out on dates secretly. We didn't dare let our family know and were afraid of running into people we knew. So, we would often take a car for several hours to go to the next city and come back the same day. At that time, he would even blush when holding my hand."
Pei Zhiting's face turned pale. He didn't know that he had committed a sin.
He shouldn't have let Pei Hetong date her back then. Now, he has found a rival in love.
"Your behavior is very much like finding yourself a free bodyguard. Not only a bodyguard, but also a free long-term meal ticket."
"That's true. He paid for our dates and was very willing to spend money on me. He would go out of his way to buy me whatever I wanted."
Speaking of this, Song Xijiao still feels that Pei Hetong seems to have been cast under a spell.
Outside the car, lightning streaked across the night sky, like a crack across the horizon, splitting the sky in two, but it disappeared in a flash and was swallowed up by the boundless darkness. Immediately afterwards, thunder roared, shaking the ground three times.
Pei Zhiting's expression was even darker and more frightening than the thunder outside.
He spends my money to pick up my woman.
Very good, Pei He and that bastard.
It's an even more serious crime.
