When the two of them returned home like this, they scared Aunt Yu who was cooking.
She thought they had encountered some bad guys when they were sending Qin Mengzhi to the airport, and the soup spoon in her hand fell to the ground.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll take care of it for him."
Pei Zhiyu was afraid that she would worry, so she pretended to be calm, but her pale face had already betrayed her.
Aunt Yu didn't expose the truth, but only reminded them to be careful and remember to eat. After that, she returned to the kitchen and continued to be her invisible person.
The sound of cutting vegetables could be heard.
Pei Zhiyu led Qin Hezhou back to the bedroom and found a small medicine box from the cabinet. She lowered her head, even her eyebrows were drooping, obviously still in shock.
Qin Hezhou suddenly muttered quietly, "I suddenly feel a little regretful for agreeing to this condition..."
"?"
"It's actually quite inconvenient to have a third person here."
"What, what are you talking about?" She was full of question marks, but suddenly she realized what was happening and became a little annoyed. She said angrily with a sullen face, "It's already late, and you still have time to think about this mess. I don't think you were hurt by the beating."
"No, I didn't..."
"sit down!"
Qin Hezhou shut up in disappointment, sat down on the bed obediently, and let Pei Zhiyu sprinkle salt water on his wound.
Then he cried out in pain: "Hiss——"
Pei Zhiyu asked him in a faint voice: "Does it hurt?"
"Yeah." He couldn't move his head, so he could only roll his eyes.
The tearful look in his eyes should have been heartbreaking. But after a while, all he got was two words: "Serves you right."
“…”
"Why don't you just leave it alone and wait for the wound to rot."
Qin Hezhou panicked and reached out to pull the man back: "Don't! I was wrong!"
But she did not respond immediately, and the atmosphere remained tense for a moment.
Until a sigh sounded in my ears, and then I heard Pei Zhiyu's slightly shaken voice: "I told you not to get off the car, but you didn't listen. If you had called the police directly, it wouldn't have turned out like this."
“In fact, he is worse off than me.”
Pei Zhiyu paused and felt a little choked.
What he said was indeed right. Compared to Fu Yan who was beaten down and had a tooth lost, his minor scratch was nothing.
But……
"You have no idea how terrifying his mother is. Fortunately, she didn't do it herself today, otherwise you would have lost this face." She pursed her lips tightly, and she couldn't help feeling scared when she thought of this.
"So scary?" Qin Hezhou asked with a smile.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be taking it seriously, Pei Zhiyu squeezed the cotton swab a little harder, deliberately giving him a little pain so he would remember it.
"She fought alone against many enemies back then, and almost plucked all the hair off a professor in our department. Her son was almost expelled because of this. All because she felt the professor looked down on them because they were from the countryside."
Qin Hezhou chuckled, then suddenly asked nervously, "Did she do anything to you before?"
She was silent.
It’s not that I can’t say it, but I just don’t know where to start for the moment.
Fu Yan came from a rural area on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. His family was not very wealthy, but they were not poor either, after all, they had a few acres of land.
His father was a man who cared a lot about face, but they were the only family left in the Fu family still living in the countryside.
Over time, after the gossip became too much, his father began to vent his anger on his wife and children. Verbal abuse was considered mild, but more often than not, he would get drunk and then start physical violence.
In the countryside, few people think this is domestic violence.
Even fewer people realized that this needed to be reported to the police and handled by the police, and Fu's mother also endured it all the time.
Under long-term oppression, her spirit began to change, and she placed all her hopes in life on her son.
She only hoped that one day Fu Yan would be able to make a name for himself in the city, and when he made a lot of money and bought a nice house, he would take her in and allow her to escape from this miserable life.
Things don't always go as planned.
Fu Yan failed the college entrance examination and was not admitted to her ideal university, so she settled for the second best and came to Jiangnan University to study business management.
When he was pursuing Pei Zhiyu, perhaps because of his inferiority complex, he did not tell her the truth about his real family situation.
They kept it a secret until they were about to start a business. One day, Fu Yan's mother came to the school angrily, broke into the broadcasting room and shouted for Pei Zhiyu to come and see her.
The original words were extremely harsh.
When Pei Zhiyu arrived at the scene in a daze, he saw Fu's mother grabbing the professor's hair and refusing to let go, even throwing him over her shoulder.
The old professor, who was over fifty years old, was thrown to the ground with a "bang" by her.
And the next victim is Pei Zhiyu...
She was so cruel even to the old man, not to mention the junior Pei Zhiyu. Moreover, in her eyes, Pei Zhiyu was a shameless vixen who had prevented her son from achieving great things.
All this happened because Fu Yan came home and told her that he wanted to start a business and asked his family for financial support.
When his mother sternly rejected him, he actually used Pei Zhiyu as a shield. Pei Zhiyu still didn't know what he said, but the result was that both she and the old professor were hurt.
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou clenched his fists.
I always feel that the punch I gave Fu Yan just now was not hard enough. He only lost a tooth. It wouldn't be a pity even if he died.
What kind of man would put all the blame on his woman?
Rubbish.
Qin Hezhou was furious and said angrily: "You should have dumped him then!"
"That makes sense."
"So why did you forgive him then? Don't you hate it most when people lie to you..." He said this with a bit of insecurity, as if he was also lying to her.
The question of his true identity lay between them like a time bomb.
The answer, which was not very important originally, suddenly took on another layer of meaning at this moment. Qin Hezhou waited for her answer anxiously.
"Sizzle"——
She tore off the tape and fixed the gauze on Qin Hezhou's wound.
Why should we forgive Fu Yan’s lies?
Suddenly, Pei Zhiyu himself couldn't figure out why.
She thought and recalled over and over again. When she finished the last step, looking at Qin Hezhou's face in front of her, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
If Qin Hezhou had deceived her like this, she would be extremely disappointed and unable to forgive him.
Pei Zhiyu spoke slowly, his tone calm but firm: "Because he is not important."
"unimportant?"
"Well, it's like the NPCs in the game. You subconsciously believe that they are unimportant, so naturally you won't care too much about what they say or do."
Qin Hezhou's head was buzzing with excitement. He was confused but also a little surprised. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little scared.
He hesitated and asked in a trembling voice, "What about me? Am I important?"
"ha?!"
Hearing him ask this, Pei Zhiyu was speechless with a bit of helpless doting, and she immediately smiled.
Then she looked at him as if he were an idiot, took a long breath and replied, "If it wasn't important, why would I drag you to the hotel that night... You don't really think I'm that casual, do you?"
"It's all because I like you."
