Chapter 42 Brother Zhu probably won't be a mistress, right? "Little darling..."
"Little ancestor, what's wrong with you again?" Pei Qing squatted down in front of him.
He buried his face in his thighs, pursed his lips, and shook his head. He was fine, just a little annoyed.
Pei Qing thought for a moment and asked, "You don't want the ring anymore?"
He then looked up at the person who had come, his eyes stinging with tears. Ning Buyi tried his best to suppress the urge to burst into tears.
"If you don't even stay there to guard it properly, what will happen to my ring?"
He finally managed to break the block into strips, but Pei Qing didn't even protect it for him.
Seeing that he was finally looking up, Pei Qing chuckled and said, "I was afraid you'd run away and make me pay."
Ning Buyi angrily banged her head against him: "You already paid for it. If my ring isn't there when we get back, I won't admit you paid for it. You have to compensate me."
Pei Qinghuai, what a spendthrift!
"Pay up, pay up, then why did you suddenly show up?" The harmless little thunderbolt was amused by him and asked, "What I made wasn't that ugly, was it?"
To be honest, Ning Buyi actually did a much rougher job than him, so it would be really unfair to be angry with him for that.
"It's so ugly," the boy muttered. He didn't want Pei Qing to know that he was upset because others didn't care about him. "Even my great-aunt wouldn't make it that ugly."
Pei Qing let out a long "oh," then changed the subject: "Does that mean you care about me a lot? Because I'm about to cry, how embarrassing."
Pei Qing's knuckles cracked as he pinched the bone. He was inexplicably annoyed. Even though Zhu Yanhe had withdrawn, he was still haunting him, making Ning Buyi lose his mind. Did he have no sense of the principles of his predecessors?
Ning Buyi stared blankly at him, her eyelashes fluttering: "How can you be so shameless?"
He had never seen anyone so shameless as to try and climb the social ladder so easily.
These words were like a sharp sword piercing Pei Qing's lips, drawing blood. He feigned sorrow: "Actually, it's because of Zhu Yanhe, isn't it? I'm so heartbroken."
The boy, his thoughts exposed, said urgently, "No, that's not true!"
Pei Qing teased, but Ning Buyi guiltily changed the subject: "Who does he think he is? Why are you so upset?"
He stared straight at the person in front of him: "Hey, I'm your good brother too, right?"
The boy nodded, and Pei Qing's knot, which had been tangled up, was untied a little bit, just a little bit.
He reached out and grabbed Ning Buyi's chin, forcing his gaze to focus on him: "Then why are you so good to Zhu Yanhe? He gives you money, and I give you money too, but he hasn't even spent as much time playing games with you as I have."
This is unfair. Why did Zhu Yan and Huiyi manage to seduce him so easily? He was the one who met Ning Buyi first.
The two were crammed into the narrow alley. Ning Buyi winked at him. He couldn't quite explain it; Pei Qing also gave him money and spent more time with him than Zhu Yanhe. Both were his good brothers, but he just felt closer to Zhu Yanhe.
"sorry……"
Pei Qing let go of him. Who wanted an apology from him? He laughed angrily, "Ning Buyi, do you just like being strung along? You don't want someone chasing after you."
Ning Buyi was stunned for a moment. What did it mean to be hanging there? No one was chasing him. But why did he seem angry?
He nudged Pei Qing's hand resting on his knee, using his usual tactic: "Please, don't be angry."
Pei Qing stared at him for a moment, then resumed her lazy demeanor: "Fine, give me a kiss and I won't be angry."
Ning Buyi slowly shook his head upon hearing this: "No, I have a girlfriend." Why does everyone want to kiss him? He can only kiss his girlfriend now.
Seeing the boy's determined look, he relented: "Alright, alright, little darling, give me a hug, okay?"
"That's fine," Ning moved forward a little and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.
Pei Qing reached out and grabbed his waist, pulling him into her arms: "What's so good about Zhu Yan and that guy? No man who makes you cry is a good man."
He was stunned, but Zhu Yanhe took care of him while he was in the hospital, bringing him delicious food every day, and was willing to help him. She never got annoyed sending him messages every day, and even let him step on her with his sandy feet. She also carried him back when he was drunk.
He's just a good guy.
"We agreed to hug..." He struggled in Pei Qing's arms, but it was no use. Pei Qing was holding him too tightly and he couldn't move. If he didn't go back soon, he would lose the ring!
Pei Qing finally let go of him, because the person in his arms was struggling too much. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to part with that soft touch. Next time, he'll have to come up with a longer reason, like holding him for an hour or something.
After being freed, Ning Buyi stood up and ran away in a flash, leaving the person squatting on the spot covered in dust. Was he really that annoying?
The autumn wind was bleak, and the cool breeze slipped into his skin through the gaps in his clothes, but the man didn't react much. He unconsciously rubbed his fingertips. According to his schedule, he probably wouldn't be back for another two days. Ning Buyi hadn't sent him any messages in the past two days.
Had something happened? Once this thought crossed his mind, he finally couldn't sit still anymore. He suddenly felt that he had been acting like a complete idiot by arguing with himself these past two days.
Zhu Yanhe picked up his phone and called him, but no one answered after two calls. His heart couldn't help but jump. Why wasn't he answering? He glanced at the location and the live stream.
The person in the live stream wasn't there, and their location was in an internet cafe, but why wouldn't they answer? Zhu Yan switched to another account to call them, but it was still busy.
Did he get into trouble again while on a business trip? No, he's got Ning Buyi's brother there, nothing will happen to him.
But his heart was filled with worry, like weeds growing everywhere. At this moment, he regretted getting angry over such a small matter. Ning Buyi hadn't done anything wrong, yet he blamed the boy. Why hadn't he protected him better?
Book a flight back to find him—that was Zhu Yanhe's only thought. Just as Zhu Yanhe was about to dial her assistant's number, two notification sounds rang out.
The air seemed to freeze, even the wind stopped. His legs felt like they were nailed to the spot, and his blood seemed to have congealed. The faint ticking of his mechanical watch was amplified, clashing with his rapid heartbeat, leaving him no room to catch his breath.
The phone screen remained on Pei Qing's chat box.
Several pieces of information stood out starkly.
Pei Qing: Don't call my baby anymore.
Pei Qing: Brother Zhu shouldn't be the type to be a mistress, right?^^
He didn't want to talk to him about this blessing, but the other party seemed afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so they sent him a photo. It was a photo of Ning Buyi sleeping on the side. When the boy was asleep, he was always as well-behaved as a doll, making people want to tease him.
There's another picture in a different scene: Ning Buyi is eating in front of the camera, with rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth, and a stranger's hand is cleaning them off for him.
He tapped the screen.
Zhu Yanhe:?
He exited the chat window with his fingertips and instead made a phone call to Zhu Zhu.
"Hey bro, what's wrong?"
"Did Pei Qing ask you to go out?" Zhu Yanhe asked in a cold tone. He remembered that Pei Qing had called him the day before yesterday, looking for Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu honestly told the whole story: "No, I'm at home. Isn't Pei Qing getting really into his girlfriend lately?" She even commented on it on her WeChat Moments yesterday.
Small object?
Zhu Yanhe took a deep breath and asked, "Who is his girlfriend?"
Zhu Zhu replied to him, "I don't know, there's only one photo. You can take a look, Brother Fa."
As Zhu Yanhe looked at the photos sent from the other side, a chill gradually crept into her heart. The two were embracing intimately in the square. Although the shorter person was wearing a helmet, Zhu Yanhe recognized Ning Buyi at a glance.
He had hugged this body countless times; he could wrap his arm around its waist with one hand. The body was soft and yielding in his arms, and in his dreams, it would even bite his clothes.
Zhu Yanhe zoomed in on the photo, staring intently at every detail, trying to find some proof that Ning Buyi had been forced, but to no avail. Pei Qing was laughing freely in the photo, which Zhu Yanhe found particularly irritating; they really did look like a young couple on a date.
She doesn't reply to him one second, and the next she's in someone else's arms. All that talk about liking him is a lie, a liar in the guise of a fool.
His worries were like a joke, a clown's one-man show on stage. He was here fearing something might happen to Ning Buyi and even wanting to go back immediately, but what about Ning Buyi? Wagging his tail and begging for mercy in another man's arms.
Really...
The room felt like winter had arrived in an instant; anyone who entered would shiver. Zhu Yan stared intently out the window, the biting wind whipping his hair, his expression unreadable.
The thought that Pei Qing would hug him, possibly kiss him, or even sleep with him made Zhu Yanhe wish he could fly back and lock Ning Buyi up, no matter how much he cried.
But there was nothing he could do. Zhu Yanhe gently tapped the screen.
Zhu Yanhe: Was he there voluntarily?
On the other side.
"I just sent the photos of our meal to Zhu Yanhe, and he asked if you voluntarily agreed to have dinner with me," Pei Qing said, waving her phone.
Ning Buyi had just come out of the toilet stall, wiping his wet hands on the sides of his pants. Hearing this, he frowned. Why did he have to tell Zhu Yanhe? But his body moved over there honestly.
He said into the microphone, "I did it voluntarily! Humph!"
Pei Qing smiled. If he didn't have some skills, would he really be considered an incompetent husband?
Ning Buyi sat back down and looked around: "Where's my phone?"
Pei Qing handed him her phone: "Here, I accidentally spilled some water and just wiped it up."
He took it and checked it over, muttering, "What if my precious phone breaks because of such carelessness?"
This is his newborn baby. As for the seven or eight broken bricks he used before, let them go with the wind.
Pei Qing chuckled and moved closer: "I'll just buy you another one, that'll solve it."
Ideally, all other people's things should be replaced with things he bought.
"I volunteered!"
Zhu Yanhe played the voice message again, chewing on those words in his mouth. A cold smile appeared on his lips. If he kept harping on it now, he would really become the mistress Pei Qing was talking about.
The man leaned back into the sofa, a cigarette between his fingers. His right knuckles brushed against the gears, a spark appearing and then disappearing in an instant. He applied force with his knuckles again, and a burst of flame shot out, flickering in the air.
He lit a cigarette, tossed the lighter casually onto the coffee table, and stared at the slowly burning cigarette in his hand. He thought the people he had kept in captivity had always lived behind a gate without fences.
Trying to restrain someone who doesn't understand boundaries with just a door is incredibly foolish.
The quietly burning cigarette was suddenly stubbed out in the ashtray. He had never smoked before, and he didn't plan to smoke today. Since meeting Ning Buyi, he had done too many things that were unlike Zhu Yanhe.
From now on, there's no need for that anymore.
-----------------------
Author's Note: [doge] Pei Gou really took advantage of the situation, acting like the rightful heiress. Just wait for Zhu Yanhe to come back; who told you to be so arrogant? [doge] [Ning Buyi doesn't like Pei Qing; both are virgins.]
Ning Buyi is the same; he claims he no longer considers Zhu Yanhe a good brother, but in reality, he runs away faster than anyone else upon hearing news of him. [doge emoji]
Their life together should have been very harmonious, but because Ning Buyi had to live in the dorms at university, Zhu Yanhe could only spend time with him on weekends. He was very dissatisfied with this, and Ning Buyi always left a lot of marks on his clothes when he returned to school. During the final exams, Zhu Yanhe couldn't see Ning Buyi for a whole month, so he would go to the school to catch him and drag him out for meals. [Let me see...]
