After all the trouble, it was already late at night.
Pei Zhiyu was already too sleepy. After cleaning up, he saw Qin Hezhou leaning against the door, staring at him intently.
I don't know how long I've been watching...
She walked towards the door, and Qin Hezhou blocked her way without a word.
Pei Zhiyu pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Get out of the way!"
"It's so late, let's go out tomorrow." Qin Hezhou said.
But Pei Zhiyu was obviously not happy. She was holding a bag in her hand. He thought she was going to take something away again, and he became even more panicked.
After this pawnshop is moved away, will it never come back?
But the house is hers!
Qin Hezhou took a step forward. A shadow loomed over her, giving her a very oppressive feeling, but the words she spoke were completely different from her image.
"Can you stay today? I won't do anything to you, as long as you stay here."
“…” She said nothing.
"Please." Qin Hezhou pleaded, but he saw Pei Zhiyu still staring at the door behind him.
He sighed slightly, compromised and made way, and opened the door for Pei Zhiyu.
Pei Zhiyu looked at the door and then at him, a little surprised, and then gave a meaningful smile.
She quickly left Qin Hezhou's sight with the bag and took the elevator downstairs.
Just out of the elevator door——
The light from the corridor shone down, lengthening the figure.
She caught a glimpse of another person's shadow behind her, and judging from his figure, he should be an adult man, at least 1.9 meters tall.
"Tsk." When Pei Zhiyu found out that someone was following him, he was not nervous at all. Instead, his steps became lighter.
This made the people who followed her very depressed.
Walking along the path between the two buildings, Pei Zhiyu came to a trash can and threw the bag of garbage in his hand into it neatly.
Then he dusted off his hands, turned around and said to the dark shadow hidden by the wall behind him, "Come out, you've been hiding so badly."
Qin Hezhou was still stubborn for a while, but when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to walk out silently with his head down.
Like a child who has made a mistake.
Pei Zhiyu laughed and thought that even elementary school students were better at playing hide-and-seek than him.
"Why are you following me?" she asked.
Qin Hezhou sighed and replied, "It's already so dark. I'm afraid you'll run into bad guys outside if you go back alone..."
"Hiss!" Pei Zhiyu gasped and jokingly said, "With your tracking skills just now, to be honest, if the bad guys are at your level, the possibility of being killed is higher."
“…” He pursed his lips and said nothing.
"But sincerity is precious." She patted his cheek, as if rewarding him, and took his hand: "I'll give you one point for your sincerity."
"Really?" Qin Hezhou was surprised.
"Yeah, really." Pei Zhiyu nodded seriously and led him back, yawning and urging him, "Go back quickly, I'm really sleepy."
Qin Hezhou: "Aren't you going to the hospital?"
"When did I say I was going to the hospital? I just came down to take out the trash."
“…”
Perhaps he had gotten used to staying in the hospital during this period of time, but unexpectedly, Pei Zhiyu began to toss and turn in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
I can't sleep anyway.
She turned sideways and saw in front of her the "dividing line" left by Qin Hezhou to prove his innocence, a thick quilt.
The Chu and Han rivers separated each other and they did not interfere with each other.
The quilt was not folded very high, so she could clearly see the scene over there. Qin Hezhou was like a primary school student sitting upright, waiting for the teacher to check him at any time.
His posture was even straighter than in TV dramas, and it was obvious that he hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Pei Zhiyu rested his head on his arm, seemingly looking at Qin Hezhou, but actually he was thinking about other things. When he was distracted, he suddenly heard a noise beside the bed.
Creaking.
When her gaze focused again, Qin Hezhou had already turned around and met her eyes.
He rubbed his sore arm and asked her, "Can't sleep?"
"Um."
"I have a bedtime story, do you want to hear it?"
"listen."
Although there was a quilt between them, Qin Hezhou still moved a little towards her, wanting to get closer.
The height of the thick quilt was just enough to block half of the view. In the dim light, a gleam flashed in Pei Zhiyu's eyes as he looked at Qin Hezhou.
A soft chuckle came from my ear, and then he began to tell the bedtime story in a low, sleep-inducing voice.
"A long time ago, there was a kitten that was kicked out of the house because its owner was pregnant. From then on, it began its wandering life..."
"One rainy day, it met a stray dog who was also homeless."
"The kitten was very alert, fearing that a stray dog would take away its 'home', so it bared its sharp claws in an attempt to scare the dog away."
"The stray dog wasn't afraid. In its eyes, the kitten was just too insecure. It was so cute, and I wondered how much it must have suffered to have such a strong sense of defense."
"Not only was it not afraid of the kitten, it even gave the kitten the cardboard box it had brought to keep it out of the rain."
As he spoke, his eyes met Pei Zhiyu's. It was unclear whether he was telling a story or using the story to illustrate a true story.
"As they spent time together day after day, the kitten let down its guard, and the puppy liked the kitten more and more."
"Although it is just a homeless stray dog for the time being, it believes that as long as it is there, the kitten is no longer a stray cat."
"Why?" Pei Zhiyu suddenly asked.
Qin Hezhou raised the corners of his lips and said, "Because I am your home."
"Always—"
