Chapter 15 Short-lived Ghost "Let's get a divorce."
Outside the car, Yu Peizhi's face was blurred and clear through a layer of glass.
The fog is white.
Those eyes were black.
Lock her up, lock her up, lock her up tight, lock her up perfectly still.
"Lianlian." His pupils continued to move extremely slowly as he stared at her and repeatedly asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhui Lian pinched her fingertips into her palm, using the pain to keep her composure.
"I...I just want to go home."
"Go back to S City, our home. I miss it so much... Pei Zhi, I really want to go back."
She heard her voice become dry and raspy. "Flights will be suspended for a week. I really, really can't wait..."
The air stagnated for a moment.
The corners of Yu Peizhi's mouth moved upwards very slowly, forming a very faint arc.
"Go home?" he repeated softly, "Lianlian, really? Are you really going back to S City?"
Zhui Lian didn't dare to dwell on it, so she could only bite the bullet, meet his gaze, and nod vigorously, "Really? I want to go back to our home in S City."
Yu Peizhi looked at her quietly for a few seconds.
There was a hint of amusement in his heavy gaze.
Then, he suddenly took a step back and walked around to the driver's side.
Knock, knock, knock.
He bent his fingers and knocked on the driver's window as well.
The middle-aged driver was obviously frightened by the scene and lowered the car window tremblingly.
Yu Peizhi instantly put on his impeccable, gentle mask, even a little apologetically, "Master, I'm so sorry. There was a little conflict at home and I scared you."
His tone was polite, but his actions were undeniably strong.
He didn't look at the driver's face, which had turned pale with fear. His eyes swept over the interior of the car, and then - he raised his wrist!
A ray of silver light cut through the gloomy air.
clang.
A pair of car keys were casually thrown into the driver's arms.
"This SUV should be worth about a million yuan."
Yu Peizhi's voice was still gentle, but his tone was as natural as discussing eating and drinking. "It's yours now, go drive it away."
Yu Peizhi: "But I'll keep your old car."
The driver was completely stunned.
He held the cold key, looked at the expensive luxury car outside the window, and then looked at the handsome and gentle but crazy man in front of him.
The eyes moved back and forth between the two focal points.
The driver opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Zhui Lian on the other side took a deep breath and couldn't utter a word.
This style of using money to smash all conventions, this style of doing whatever one wants to the point of being frightening... it's similar, very similar, too similar.
"Feel sorry."
While apologizing, Yu Peizhi opened the car door, pulled the stunned driver out, and got in himself.
The car has been driven for some time and the interior is a bit old.
This was incompatible with Yu Peizhi's temperament, and the space seemed to become cramped and oppressive because of his intrusion.
The engine started up again, making a harsh roar.
"Let's go home." Yu Peizhi looked straight ahead with a calm tone.
Zhui Lian closed her eyes tiredly and rested her forehead against the cold car window. She was so exhausted both physically and mentally that she couldn't even muster the strength to resist.
The rapidly receding yellow fields outside the window blurred into a desperate block of color.
Maybe... let's just leave it at that, go back to City X.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, until next week's flight comes, everything will be fine.
However, a few minutes later, the female voice of the navigation machine announced a place name that Zhui Lian could not believe -
"Please go straight at the next intersection towards Qingjiang."
Qingjiang?
Zhui Lian sat up straight abruptly and immediately leaned over to look at the small screen on the center console.
[W City·Qingjiang].
This place name is clearly shown at the end of the route map.
"Where...where are you going?"
Zhui Lian's voice sounded urgent, "Stop! Yu Peizhi! I told you to stop! Aren't we going home?"
Yu Peizhi held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head to look at her, with a hint of amusement on the corner of his mouth: "We are going home."
"The driver's navigation destination is Qingjiang. Isn't that the destination Lianlian herself indicated she wanted to go to?"
"Isn't it okay for me to send Lianlian back to the home she really wants to go back to?"
"No! I'm not going back there! I don't want to go back to Qingjiang!"
Zhui Lian rushed over and tried to grab the steering wheel, but Yu Peizhi easily fended him off with one hand.
The disparity in power was fully demonstrated at this moment.
"Why?" Yu Peizhi asked, his tone even soft, "Why can't I go back to Qingjiang?
But there was a clear gloom in his eyes, a hint of impending disaster: "Is there some secret hidden there that I can't know?
"Or is there someone Lianlian cares about there? Is it Lianlian's childhood sweetheart? Is it Lianlian's first love? Or is it Lianlian's other home?"
Zhui Lian was pushed firmly back into the passenger seat by him: "There is no secret... I just... I just don't want to go back..."
After leaving Qingjiang at the age of sixteen, she never returned there.
The only gift Qingjiang gave her in this life was Xunli.
Only Xunli.
The rest is nothing but nightmares.
"Please, Pei Zhi, don't go there! Go back to X City, or S City, anywhere is fine, don't go to Qingjiang!"
"oh?"
Yu Peizhi drew out his words, and suddenly reached into the inner pocket of his windbreaker with his free hand, slowly pulling out something.
A piece of drawing paper with slightly curled edges.
That was exactly the drawing that Zhang Yupeizhi couldn't find this morning.
Zhui Lian's eyes widened.
But she clearly... clearly threw the drawing into the garbage truck with her own hands, and then watched with her own eyes as the garbage truck took it away?
But at this moment, it appeared intact in Yu Peizhi's hands.
Just some subtle stains on the edges.
Yu Peizhi held the drawing between two fingers and shook it gently, as if showing off an interesting trophy.
"Baby, guess, guess--"
He laughed. "Where did I find it?"
Zhui Lian's lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
"Can't you guess?"
Yu Peizhi tilted his head, as if sharing an interesting secret, but his eyes were filled with desolate coldness. "Then I'll tell you, it's in the garbage truck!"
"Lianlian." He called her name with a sigh, his voice low.
His voice was filled with disappointment and a kind of twisted sadness: "You hate it as much as you hate me, right?"
Zhui Lian shook her head, only able to squeeze out a breath bit by bit from her throat: "No... no... I just..."
"Just what?" Yu Peizhi asked patiently.
The space inside the car was too small, so he moved closer, almost touching Zhui Lian's nose.
"Just want to go home too much?" Yu Peizhi finished her words, then shook his head very slowly.
His gaze passed over Zhui Lian's frightened face, and suddenly, he let out his first laugh.
He started laughing and pounding on the steering wheel.
"Hahaha...hahaha! Garbage truck! It's a garbage truck, Lianlian!"
The car horn emitted a shrill, intermittent sound, like an accompaniment to his crazy performance: "You hate it! Just like you hate me! So you threw it away! Just like you can't wait to throw it away me! Right? Right! Hahaha!"
The laughter came one after another, and finally became continuous.
It collided, echoed, and twisted into a creepy cry.
Yu Peizhi lay on the steering wheel, his body heaving violently, and it was hard to tell whether he was laughing or crying.
Zhui Lian was almost completely pressed against the car window, his hand gripping the door handle.
She wanted to jump out of the car, she really wanted to jump out of the car.
But the car door was locked.
She could only curl up, curl up, and curl herself up again, trying to reduce her panicked presence.
After a long time, the hysterical laughter gradually subsided.
Yu Peizhi slowly raised his head.
There was still moisture in the corners of his eyes, but his face was once again filled with that extremely gentle expression.
"Baby, I won't tease you anymore."
Yu Peizhi spoke in a cheerful tone, as if it was another person who had gone mad just now. He smiled and said, "Choose one, return to X City, or go to Qingjiang?"
Zhui Lian doesn't want to choose any of them.
She shook her head: "No, no... Pei Zhi, can we go back to S City? I just want to go back to our home in S City..."
"Return to S City?"
Yu Peizhi interrupted her, his gentle smile instantly disappeared, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
He clamped his tiger's mouth on her jaw with great force, "What are you going back for? Huh? To see that pathetically stupid male college student who was completely bewitched by you?
"Or should I go and cry to that short-lived ghost's grave who knows how many years he's been dead? Tell him you found a replacement who looks just like him?"
Yu Peizhi's face suddenly approached, and his hot breath sprayed on Zhui Lian's face.
He imitated a certain accent in a sinister tone: "'Xunli, Xunli, I met someone today, look how much he looks like you...'"
"'Xunli, Xunli, I always think of you when I look at him, you know? Many of his habits are similar to yours..."
"'Xunli, Xunli, we went to the flower market today, and he also likes daisies, just like you!'"
…
One vivid imitation after another came crashing down on him, leaving Zhui Lian stunned in her seat, her hands and feet unable to move.
But that twisted jealousy and hatred, the jealousy and hatred that was suppressed to the extreme, continued, filling the entire car, and was even more intense than the resentment of evil spirits crawling out of the ninety-nine and eighty-first levels of hell.
"Zhui Lian, could you please give me a little bit of your deep affection and your unwavering remembrance...even just a little bit?"
"Can you, just love me a little bit... love the real me a little bit?"
His lower jaw was stuck, and it took a long, long time before Yu Peizhi let go.
Zhui Lian's face was reflected in the rearview mirror, and she saw a circle of red marks on her jaw.
It hurts a little.
Yu Peizhi seemed to have finally come to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...wife."
He hurriedly tried to touch the skin on Zhui Lian's jaw, but Zhui Lian dodged by turning sideways.
"What is it this time? DID, or sleepwalking?" Zhui Lian asked calmly.
Yu Peizhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled dejectedly and sadly: "It's not this time... It's me... It's me. I'm really jealous, so jealous..."
"Jealousy, why does he occupy such a large part in your life...such a large part..."
Zhui Lian didn't say anything. She tilted her head to look out the window and said, "Go ahead. You can go anywhere, even to Qingjiang."
"Wife, don't be angry." Yu Peizhi pleaded with her softly, "I will compensate you... I will compensate you..."
compensate?
Compensation for what?
Could he still give her a real gift? Zhui Lian still looked out the window without saying a word.
In the end, the car turned around at the next intersection.
The front of the car was directed back towards the road they came from, towards the small border town.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the glaciers are majestic.
Like a silent cage.
Zhui Lian turned around and finally looked at Yu Peizhi, and said calmly: "Let's get a divorce."

The author has something to say: Author: Just wait, he will compensate you.
Zhui Lian:?
Zhui Lian: It doesn’t feel like a good thing.
