Pulling her forward, the man's palm easily encircled her, and he pressed and rubbed the acupoints on the soles of her feet.
Pei Xiqing was so itchy that she kicked him every time he pressed her. Finally, she couldn't help herself and said, "Brother Duan, stop...pressing me. I can't stand it anymore..."
Duan Xiaolin finally let her go, leaned against the back of the sofa and asked, "Is headquarters fun?"
"...It's okay. It's not that I really want to go out and play, but I've been a little bored these past few days here, and I feel like you're missing a lot of things."
She went out to buy things to add some life to the place.
"There are many unexpected places in the headquarters. You can go and check in when you are ready."
"No." She had no interest in this place in the first place. Even if she wanted to check in, she didn't want to check in here again. Every time she walked on the road, she felt that the pedestrians around her were gloomy, and none of them had any expression on their faces. It was really scary.
It was worse than when she was in the Third Base. She went to a few vegetable markets at random, and the people she met were more alive than those here.
"Not interested anymore?"
She sat up and lowered her trouser legs: "Let's talk about it later. I don't want to clock in here. I want to clock in outside."
There are still many places in this world that she has not been to.
No matter how big or powerful the headquarters is, it is only a part of this world.
Duan Xiaolin casually picked up a shopping bag at his feet and asked, "What is this?"
Pei Xiqing took it and looked at it. "This is a piece of clothing I saw in the mall just now. I didn't want to buy it at the time, but who knew you would buy it anyway..."
You don't have to think about who bought it.
But this dress is indeed what she likes.
However, she didn't take many crystal cores with her at that time. She wanted to buy too many things, so she needed to choose carefully and compare prices from three stores before making a final decision.
She got up and packed her things: "I bought too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to wear them all in several years."
He laughed: "There are still so many years to come, if I can't finish wearing them, I'll wear them slowly."
Pei Xiqing said, "There are too many things. Let's clean them up together."
The man also stood up, rolled up his sleeves and helped clean up.
The two of them worked together for three or four hours before they finally tidied up the things in the living room.
At first glance, the house, which was originally a bit lifeless, finally had a residential atmosphere.
Pei Xiqing also bought a bouquet of flowers and placed it at the door of the unopened room.
Duan Xiaolin noticed her actions and came over to push the door open.
He asked, "Why are you putting flowers there?"
Pei Xiqing: "Because I also want to tell you, dear, that I am a very qualified wife."
The chrysanthemums were elegant and simple, and they didn't match the architecture of the house when placed at the door. The man opened the door and asked her to take them in: "Then put them on the table. She'll see them."
"good."
This was Pei Xiqing's first time entering this room.
The room is quite large and you can vaguely see that it was a bedroom before.
The lighting is good and the layout is very grand, but there are indeed a lot of miscellaneous items piled up inside, including some documents that have been dusty for a long time.
In order to cover up the sorrow that this place once brought him, he chose to use time to forget it.
There were no photos or any traces of life left in it. If Ying hadn't mentioned it to her, she would have never imagined that his relatives had ever lived here.
Pei Xiqing saw the man go to the kitchen to cook, so she brought a bucket of water and cleaned the room roughly.
I couldn't help but wipe the sweat from my forehead, and finally placed the bottle of chrysanthemums on the table.
She didn't know what to say. After all, she had never met this relative before, nor had she ever met Duan Xiaolin's family. She could only arrange the bouquets neatly and then said softly, "Brother Duan and I will live a good life. You don't have to worry about him. He is doing well, and we will be better in the future."
After saying that, Pei Xiqing turned around and found Duan Xiaolin standing at the door.
