Chapter 256 Sister, I've Grown Up
Life is important.
For Pei Jingxu, apart from Pei Huaifeng, the most important thing in this world is her own life.
But at this time, dark clouds were pressing down on the city and the enemy was at the gate. Pei Jingxu was clearly worried and scared, but he had no intention of escaping.
——Rong Jianxue was still on top of the city gate.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Jingxu looked at Pei Huaifeng with a smile: "I believe him."
Rong Jianxue said that nothing would happen, and then nothing would happen.
Upon hearing this, Pei Huaifeng stared at Pei Jingxu in front of him seriously.
After a long time, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister, you have changed."
Pei Jingxu blinked: "What's the difference?"
Pei Huaifeng pondered for a moment and described seriously: "Sister is a business genius. You always weigh the pros and cons and know what to give up and what to hold on to."
"Like you told me before, there are very few things in this world worth risking your life for."
"Ajie has a scale in her heart. On one side, she puts her own life on the line. On the other side, there are very few people who can weigh down Ajie's life."
Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu seriously: "Sister, is Rong Jianxue more important than your life?"
Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered.
She still doesn't know.
Just as Pei Huaifeng asked her, "Do you like Rong Jianxue?", Pei Jingxu didn't know the answer to this question.
Moreover, even during the years when Pei Jingxu liked Rong Xuanzhou the most, she would not give up her life for him.
She doesn't believe any of this.
But now, when Pei Huaifeng asked her this, Pei Jingxu opened her mouth but didn't say a word.
Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu for a long moment, then just smiled and said, "I'll accompany my sister."
Coming back from his daze, Pei Jingxu frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed: "Xiaofeng, why don't you..."
"Sister," Pei Huaifeng interrupted Pei Jingxu, "If you don't want to give up Rong Jianxue again, don't give up me either."
Pei Jingxu smiled bitterly. She held onto Pei Huaifeng's arm and said, "You escaped death from prison. I just don't want you to go through this again."
Pei Huaifeng said seriously: "But sister, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."
Pei Jingxu guessed that Bai Shutong must have taken back all the points used on Pei Huaifeng.
She was very worried that Pei Huaifeng would encounter something in the future and would return to the previous plot trajectory and end up dead.
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu's eyes became a little colder.
——Bai Shutong must die.
As long as Bai Shutong doesn't die, Xiaofeng will never be safe.
Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu unconsciously tightened the strength of his hands.
Her hand was still on Pei Huaifeng's arm, and the next second she heard Pei Huaifeng take a breath and frown.
Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Pei Huaifeng: "Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Huaifeng held Pei Jingxu's hand, his lips pale, but he shook his head: "It's okay, sister."
Inexplicably, Pei Jingxu remembered what Rong Jianxue had said to her at that time.
[Go check on Pei Huaifeng's arm some other day.]
Pei Jingxu didn't take this matter to heart at that time, but now looking at the pale-faced Pei Huaifeng in front of him, it was as if an inspiration came to him. Pei Jingxu grabbed Pei Huaifeng's wrist with one hand and lifted his sleeve with the other hand!
"Sister!" Pei Huaifeng reacted and hurriedly grabbed her hand, with a forced smile on his face, "What are you doing?"
Pei Jingxu frowned, but did not explain anything. He shook off Pei Huaifeng's hand and finally lifted up his sleeve!
"Buzz—"
A buzzing sound rang in his ears. Pei Jingxu was frightened by the scene in front of him. His pupils contracted violently and he tightened his grip on Pei Huaifeng's fingers.
A bloody mess.
There were countless bloody scratches on Pei Huaifeng's arms, each of which seemed so deep that the bone could be seen, and it was all bloody.
The wounds were deep and shallow, layer upon layer. Some had not yet healed, some were only left with a scar, but more were bloodstains that had not yet scabbed over, making the entire arm a blur.
Pei Huaifeng frowned slightly and carefully checked Pei Jingxu's expression.
Pei Jingxu's hand, which was holding Pei Huaifeng's, was trembling.
Her lips were trembling, but she grabbed his other hand and lifted his sleeve!
Still a bloody mess.
Pei Jingxu raised her eyes a little slowly, tears streaming down her face.
Even his voice couldn't stop trembling: "Pei Huaifeng, what's going on..."
Pei Huaifeng's face was pale, but he lowered his eyes gently and looked at Pei Jingxu, well-behaved and docile.
"Sister, it was just an accident..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Big tears fell, and Pei Jingxu frowned at him, "Pei Huaifeng, tell the truth!"
She was really angry.
Pei Huaifeng's eyes flickered.
After a long while, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister, I don't know how to tell you."
Taking a deep breath, Pei Huaifeng looked at her, his eyes showing a hint of obedience and pain: "Ever since I met you, there has always been a voice in my heart telling me to kill you, to kill you to please Bai Shutong."
Pei Jingxu widened his eyes and looked at him in shock.
A hint of pain flashed across Pei Huaifeng's eyes, but he suppressed it very skillfully and just looked at Pei Jingxu obediently and gently.
"But sister, Bai Shutong is not important, you are important."
"I've told myself countless times that I won't hurt you, but the voice in my head always goes against me."
"So, this is all I can do."
Pei Huaifeng lowered his head and looked at the deep and shallow scars on his arms: "Whenever I hear that voice, I will cut my arm with a knife."
"After a while, I'll get tired of that voice," Pei Huaifeng looked at Pei Jingxu seriously. "Sister, don't be afraid. I've learned how to control it."
Pei Jingxu looked at him in a daze: "So, when you were delivering letters to Bai Shutong in Luzhou..."
Pei Huaifeng nodded: "It was Bai Shutong who found me and told me in a matter-of-fact tone that he would monitor you and send assassins to kill you if necessary."
Speaking of this, Pei Huaifeng smiled helplessly: "Sister, that period was when my thoughts resisted the most fiercely."
"Sometimes I'd cut my arm five or six times a day, but the thought would still be there, haunting me like a nightmare that I couldn't suppress."
"I even wrote a letter to spy on you when I couldn't control myself the most. To make sure I wouldn't send it, I even wanted to cut off my hand that day."
So Pei Huaifeng used the excuse of being busy at the private school and rarely went home during those days.
Seeing the increasingly crimson corners of Pei Jingxu's eyes, Pei Huaifeng hurriedly said, "But sister, luckily, Rong Jianxue found me."
"He seemed to know the conflicting thoughts in my mind, so he teamed up with me and told me to write some insignificant surveillance and send it to Bai Shutong."
In this way, the crazy idea finally subsided for a few days.
Rong Jianxue took advantage of the situation and used the information Bai Shutong knew from Pei Huaifeng to set a trap in advance, capturing the remnants of Shen Huaichen and herself who were hiding in the capital.
Pei Jingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears fell in big drops: "Pei Huaifeng, does it hurt?..."
Pei Huaifeng laughed ostentatiously: "It doesn't hurt, sister. Now that thought can no longer control me. Every time this thought comes up, I will cut myself. Over time, it won't dare to do it anymore."
He began to reject it subconsciously.
As if it had become a habit, Pei Huaifeng associated that thought with pain, so those thoughts no longer dared to bother him.
"Sister," Pei Huaifeng smiled obediently, "Xiaofeng has grown up."
"I said I can protect my elder sister and won't cause her any trouble."
