Chapter 49 "My acting is very good..."
Song Shiguang makes a lot of mistakes when he talks too much.
He wanted to explain further, but Pei Shuwen stopped him: "Alright, go get a band-aid. Isn't the performance about to start?"
"Ah, right, a band-aid."
"I'll go back and get it first. You and Lin Lu wait for me. Okay?"
He had just gone up the mountain to pluck branches when a thorn got stuck in his fingertip. He pulled the thorn out and sucked on it twice, but there was still some bleeding.
He stood there awkwardly, his ears red, so he hurriedly walked back.
Pei Shuwen acted as if nothing had happened and suggested, "Let's go take a look together."
Lin Chaoyue was actually a little embarrassed.
She guiltily thought that not only the people in the law firm could read minds, but also the people around Pei Shuwen could see through her little schemes.
In addition, the 'evidence' of her crimes was still on Pei Shuwen's lips.
Lin Chaoyue coughed lightly, pretending to be nonchalant: "What were you talking about with your friend just now? You were already better, why did you ask him to bring you a band-aid?"
Pei Shuwen glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
To Lin Chaoyue, that expression seemed to say: You bit someone, and you just want to get away with it as if nothing happened? Even others know to give him a band-aid.
no……
She really didn't remember anything at the time. After she woke up, Pei Shuwen didn't say anything right away. Why is she being treated like a scumbag now?
Lin Chaoyue was somewhat depressed.
She silently followed behind Pei Shuwen.
End of imagination.
Lin Chaoyue said softly, "Well, it's not that I can't take responsibility, but you should at least tell me your thoughts."
Pei Shuwen was originally walking ahead.
He stopped after hearing what she said, turned to look at her, and said, "Since you want to take responsibility, you should at least show some sincerity. Tell me how you want to take responsibility, and I will cooperate."
What does that mean?
She tried to find a way to take responsibility.
He cooperated?
Lin Chaoyue's face fell slightly, and she suddenly felt that being a 'scumbag woman' wasn't so bad after all.
I walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Song Shiguang has already appeared, with a pink Hello Kitty band-aid on her finger.
It turns out it wasn't meant for Pei Shuwen.
She felt inexplicably relieved.
Song Shiguang: "Everyone is not in the front yard. They must have gone to the auditorium on the back hill. Shall we go there now? Grandma Tian is here too. She has built a grape trellis on the back hill. Lately, Grandma Tian has been spending most of her days sunbathing on the back hill."
Lin Chaoyue looked up at the sky.
The weather on this mountain is nice; it must be very comfortable to sunbathe, and the air is refreshingly clean.
A cloud drifted over from the west, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Pei Shuwen: "Let's go to the auditorium first, and then go there tonight. Didn't you say the rehearsal was almost over?"
Song Shiguang was so nervous that she almost forgot.
"Yes, yes, let's go watch the rehearsal first. I'll let Teacher Xiaomin know we've arrived."
Xiaomin had just messaged him, saying that they would wait for them to arrive before changing into their performance costumes for one last rehearsal. Although Xiaomin was a teacher, she was usually the lead dancer in these rehearsals. Song Shiguang seemed to remember something and became lively again, striding ahead.
That's a really fast change of mood.
It was as if she was preparing to meet her sweetheart.
Lin Chaoyue watched in amazement, clicked her tongue in amazement, and then jogged to catch up with Pei Shuwen, the two walking side by side.
"Why are you running a dance-related charity school? It doesn't seem like your personality."
"Then what do you think it should be?" Pei Shuwen asked.
Lin Chaoyue thought about it carefully, then said seriously, "It should at least be a legal education article."
Actually, she felt that Pei Shuwen's involvement in charity work was somewhat at odds with his personality.
After spending more time with him, she discovered that Pei Shuwen was indifferent to everything.
Pei Shuwen chuckled softly and looked at her: "Hmm, that's a good idea. We can consider it later. Before you returned to China, I didn't expect that law students could have such a weak awareness of fraud prevention."
no.
Why bring her up out of the blue? To this day, she still thinks that being scammed was just bad luck.
Lin Chaoyue: "You still haven't told me why?"
Pei Shuwen: "These are my mother's belongings."
"What?" When Pei Shuwen first said it, Lin Chaoyue almost thought she was hallucinating: "His belongings?"
"Yes, relics, from this dance charity."
Lin Chaoyue's mood sank uncontrollably, but Pei Shuwen's tone was quite normal: "There were some others as well, but I disposed of them all. I left them here as a memento."
“I remember your mother, she was a dancer who was somewhat well-known.”
Pei Shuwen: "Yes, but he... my father, doesn't like her showing her face in public. After she got married, she stopped performing on stage and only did some related charity projects."
Lin Chaoyue suddenly realized.
Fang Qingyu, Teacher Fang.
No wonder Pei Shuwen's expression was a little unnatural when Teacher Fang was mentioned at the foot of the mountain.
The Pei family is considered a prominent family in Ningcheng, but Pei Shuwen had studied in Yuntai, probably because his mother had previously worked there.
Lin Chaoyue fell silent.
I wouldn't say I was in a terrible mood, but I was still a little uncomfortable.
She had heard some things about Pei Shuwen's mother. She was a beautiful woman whose wings were clipped by marriage. She came from a distinguished family and married a nouveau riche, but she had a sad ending.
Lin Chaoyue wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
The auditorium on the mountain wasn't far away; you could see it as soon as you walked over. Song Shiguang arrived first, and the children in the auditorium heard the noise and rushed out in a swarm. They then decisively bypassed Song Shiguang and ran to Pei Shuwen's side.
"Brother Pei!"
"Brother Pei!"
Pei Shuwen is quite popular with children.
This was somewhat unexpected for Lin Chaoyue.
After calling Pei Shuwen "brother," a group of teenage girls looked curiously at Lin Chaoyue.
"Brother Pei, who is this lady? Is she your girlfriend?"
The girl looked to be about five or six years old. She spoke in a childish voice and wore a colorful dance dress. She hopped around happily, like a little rainbow.
Pei Shuwen picked up the little girl and asked, "Xiao Li is so young, does she even know what a girlfriend is?"
"I know." The little girl nodded vigorously.
As if to confirm that she really knew, she pointed to Song Shiguang and Qiu Min: "Sister Xiaomin is Brother Shiguang's girlfriend. They are together every day, so she is his girlfriend, as Grandma Tian said."
"What else did Grandma Tian say?"
The little girl clearly didn't have that much brain capacity. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said, "Brother Pei, go ask Grandma Tian yourself. I also asked Grandma Tian myself."
Children speak without restraint.
But the listener took it to heart.
Qiu Min did like Pei Shuwen before, but later realized that the two were too different and there was no possibility of a relationship, so she gave up. But she hadn't had a chance to tell Grandma Tian how she could have figured out that she liked Song Shiguang.
Qiu Min said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Pei, we start rehearsals in half an hour. Would you like to take this person with you first...?"
“Attorney Lin.” Song Shiguang.
Qiu Min: "Take this lawyer Lin to see Grandma Tian."
Pei Shuwen agreed. Lin Chaoyue's eyes swept back and forth between Qiu Min and Song Shiguang. After following Pei Shuwen to the other side of the door, she quietly asked Pei Shuwen.
"Those two are the real couple, right? Song Shiguang and Teacher Xiaomin."
"Then who's the fake one?"
"We...we're fake, no, not even that. Why didn't you explain that earlier?"
Pei Shuwen pushed open the wooden door: "But I didn't admit it either."
Pei Shuwen's words seemed to make some sense, but Lin Chaoyue felt that something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Pei Shuwen always managed to easily entangle her.
never mind.
Let's go in first and talk about it later.
Lin Chaoyue was wearing shoes with thin heels today, which made it a little inconvenient to walk across the brick floor in front of the door.
When he stepped across the threshold, Pei Shuwen gave him a hand.
As soon as Lin Chaoyue stepped into the courtyard, she saw the grapevines covering the entire yard, lush and beautiful. Just as she was marveling at their beauty, the old man, who was reclining in a chair, was somewhat surprised to see her.
Then I saw two people holding hands.
Their eyes lit up.
"When did Xiao Pei arrive? Why didn't you tell Grandma Tian beforehand? And who is this? Is this your new wife? Come in and sit down, girl. Grandma will cut some fruit for you." The old woman stood up with a smile.
Lin Chaoyue: "..."
She was going to go numb.
Just because she and Pei Shuwen are standing together, does that mean they must be a couple? Can't they be siblings? Can't they just have a pure and innocent superior-subordinate relationship?
Pei Shuwen hasn't offered any clarification yet.
Lin Chaoyue wanted to explain.
But before she could finish speaking, she saw the old woman, whose eyes had been sparkling just moments before, now have reddened. She walked unsteadily to Pei Shuwen's side and patted him on the shoulder: "Being able to see you get married means that when I meet your mother in the future, I can finally give her an explanation."
“I used to ask Xiao Song when he was getting married, and he would say that he would bring his girlfriend when he found her.”
"That brat really wasn't lying to me."
“He and Xiaomin are getting married, and you, Xiaopei, are getting married too. That way, even if I really leave one day, I won’t have any regrets.”
The old man looked at Lin Chaoyue a few more times with great interest.
Lin Chaoyue simply nodded stiffly and said, "Hello, Grandma," while muttering "good child" and "such a good child" to herself.
The elderly man helped himself into the house to get some fruit.
Pei Shuwen said, "Grandma Tian is my mother's caregiver. She has no children of her own and treats me like a grandson. The old lady is getting old and fell down the mountain a few years ago and hit her head. She remembers less and forgets more, and she is sometimes a little confused. I will explain to her later."
I fail to explain when I should.
Now it's grown a beak.
But Lin Chaoyue was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see the old man sad.
Lin Chaoyue pursed her lips, as if remembering something, and suddenly said, "I've thought it through. It's about that thing you just said you wanted me to take responsibility for... I really don't remember it at the time, but I did accidentally bite you. I don't want to be a scumbag."
"So?" Lin Chaoyue stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, and Pei Shuwen gestured for her to continue.
Lin Chaoyue took a deep breath: "So I can pretend to be your girlfriend for a few days in Yuntai."
All things considered, there's only one day and two nights left.
Lin Chaoyue: "Just consider it as making the old man happy. Consider it a return to you, isn't that fair?"
Are you sure? I don't like being forced.
He also noticed the dark clouds drifting over from the western mountains and knew that he would most likely not be able to get down the mountain tonight.
Lin Chaoyue still didn't understand what Pei Shuwen meant at this point.
Lin Chaoyue: "What's there to be reluctant about? My acting skills are excellent, just you wait and see."
Lin Chaoyue blinked: "Once we get down the mountain, our matter will be settled. You're not allowed to mention it again, and you can't tell anyone else when we get back."
Is it a clean break?
A sudden emotion flashed in Pei Shuwen's eyes, as if he had made a decision. After a long pause, he nodded seriously and said...
"Can."
