Rong Xin took two steps back with a pale face, took his hand off his left arm, and his expression returned to normal in a moment: "It's okay, I fell off the bed and hit the corner of the table that night when I had a fever."

Pei Yanxin said, why is this excuse so familiar? Didn't the scar on your stomach also hit like this?

Before he had time to say anything else, Rong Xin had already walked out of the pool and put on his bathrobe: "I'm going back first, I'm a little tired."

Pei Yan's deep eyes were dark, but he didn't say anything after all, just smiled: "Okay, I'll soak for a while, you go up and rest first. There is a medicine box in the room, remember to put some iodine on your arms."

Rong Xin nodded lightly, turned and left.

The sky gradually darkened, and the originally clear sky was blocked by dark clouds at some point. The trees gradually swayed in the evening breeze, and the plum blossom petals on the trees scattered into the misty pool. There was a faint roar of thunder, and it was actually a storm that was about to come.

The moment Rong Xin's back disappeared into Luomei Courtyard, Pei Yan jumped out of the pool, didn't even have time to wipe off the water on his body, quickly wiped his hands on the bathrobe, and fumbled his phone out of the bathrobe pocket come out.

If it wasn't for confirming something, Pei Yan's pride and masculine possessiveness would probably make him never dial this person's number.

"Hello?" A gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "Who is it?"

Pei Yan's jaw line was tense, and his eyes were dark: "Is it Xie Zhiyuan? It's me, Pei Yan."

The other end of the phone was stunned for a second, Xie Zhiyuan was obviously a little surprised, and said with a meaningful smile: "Unexpectedly, you have my number."

Pei Yan also smiled: "Rong Xin's senior is my senior. Rong Xin was thanks to you for taking care of him before. Of course, it's not enough to express gratitude by typing on WeChat. You have to say it yourself to show sincerity. Senior, thank you these days."

"Thanks to you for taking care of me." The implied meaning of demonstration in the words made Xie Zhiyuan's fingers holding the phone slightly tightened for an instant. However, after all, his personality was calm. Although Xie Zhiyuan's forehead was throbbing with bruises, there was no abnormality in his voice:

"You didn't call me specifically to thank me, did you? Just tell me if you have something to say, didn't you go to the team building with Rong Xin? Could it be that there was a quarrel?"

Pei Yan smiled: "Then why, Xiao Xinxin and I have a good relationship, he was touching my abs just now."

Xie Zhiyuan: "..."

"But there is one thing I really want to ask the senior. Did you send Rong Xin a pot of camellias on the night of the 23rd?"

Xie Zhiyuan: "Yes, what's the matter."

"About what time?" Pei Yan asked.

The tension in Xie Zhiyuan's whole body relaxed, and he even leaned back on the chair behind him a little comfortably.I thought that Pei Yan's rank was so high, and he was so jealous that he had to call to question him. It seems that the relationship between him and Rong Xin is not as close as he described, and the touching of the abdominal muscles just mentioned is probably too much. Too addicted, I really overestimated him.

"It's past nine o'clock." Xie Zhiyuan said bluntly.

Pei Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, and around nine o'clock happened to be the time when the wounding incident occurred in Mansion 68.

"Is he at home?" There was imperceptible tension in Pei Yan's voice, "Have you seen him in person?"

"Of course I'm at home," Xie Zhiyuan said, "He had a headache and was resting in the bedroom. I went to see him, and he even thanked me."

In an instant, Pei Yan was relieved, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

He hung up the phone and sat back on the bench.

---

Pei Yan is a person with a sunny and enthusiastic nature, and he looks carefree and informal, but under the wrapping of his blood, he has a delicate heart.Like all people with high IQ, he has always been able to see people very thoroughly.

It is very easy to tell whether a person is benevolent or malicious in his heart, even if it is completely opposite to what he shows on the outside, because what Pei Yan sees is not the appearance, but the inner logic of behavior.Behavior is guided by emotion and purpose, and with a little attention, nothing is untraceable.

But Rong Xin, he couldn't see through.

Every time he spent a lot of effort to peel off Rong Xin's layer of camouflage, thinking that he had seen the whole picture, but found that there were layers after layers of onions inside, and there was no end in sight.

It's not that he is impatient to continue exploring, but he just feels hesitant and panic about the unknown road ahead.He was afraid that his caress and persistence would turn out to be just a ridiculous self-indulgence, and he was also afraid that what he would see when he peeled off the last layer of Rong Xin would be the truth that chilled him.

Was Rong Xin really at home that night?

If it was someone else, they might have believed the seamless alibi right away, but Pei Yan grew up among the criminal police, and his sensitivity to such things was much higher than ordinary people, and the indescribable sense of unreality in his heart made him He couldn't help imagining another possibility:

Could it be that even Xie Zhiyuan is Rong Xin's pawn, played by him in the applause?

Was he suspicious? Pei Yan frowned and pressed her temple.

He has personally seen Rong Xin's weak body, his stomach hurts every time he moves, and his face is as pale as snow all year round. Such a weak freshman may beat a ruthless character like Tan Hu To a paralyzed person?

Could it be that he has been pretending?

Impossible, Pei Yan immediately denied this idea.

If this is the case, how deep is Rong Xin's scheming, he can even endure the convulsive pain caused by Guo Yiran's hard punch, if a person possesses the ruthlessness to endure humiliation and extremely meticulous thinking at the same time, What a terrifying existence that would be.

No, I must have thought too much, Pei Yan shook her head.

The left arm is not a rare injured part. I must have been delirious by the case recently, so I saw a little similarity and copied it mechanically.

The wind passed through the valley, carrying a vast and distant echo, Pei Yan raised her head in confusion, stood up, walked to the terrace and looked at the mountains.

Between heaven and earth, his full of melancholy seemed very small and insignificant for no reason.Pei Yan closed her eyes, the whirling thoughts in her heart calmed down in the dampness of the rain. The plum blossoms in the yard had fallen into mud, and the faint fragrance of Rong Xin seemed to be left in the steaming heat. The fascination is profound and long.

Pei Yan stood there for a long time, until the sky thundered and lightning flashed, and the raindrops really fell, finally she gathered her thoughts, turned around and went back to the hotel.

---

It was a pleasure to come out to play with pictures. A class of more than 30 people from the law school booked a half-floor-sized box in the hotel for dinner.

When Pei Yan arrived at the private room, the dinner had just started, and Rong Xin was sitting quietly in the most inconspicuous corner of the circular revolving table. Under the light and shadow, his skin was almost transparent white, and his cool and beautiful eyes were lowered. Picking up a dish, there was a kind of inhuman indifference in his gestures, but there was still a girl beside him blushing and eager to strike up a conversation.

"It's so early." Pei Yan naturally pulled the chair beside him and sat down, blocking the girls' sight.

Rong Xin raised his head and glanced at him lightly, without panic, let alone trying to hide it, and said: "After soaking for so long, the meat is already cooked."

Pei Yan observed his expression calmly, and then showed a coquettish smile as usual, and lifted the T-shirt under the table: "I don't know if it's familiar, why don't you touch it again?"

Gao Yi, who was urging Cong Qiu to feed him grapes, finally couldn't help but leaned over and looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Brother Pei, why do I always feel that you two are flirting."

Gao Yi has a rough nerve with a clear distinction between love and hate, and he has a kind of blind admiration for Pei Yan. Since he knew that Pei Yan and Rong Xin have a good relationship, his resistant attitude towards Rong Xin has changed a lot in a few days. Will take the initiative to say a few words to Rong Xin, although Rong Xin does not reply him with more than two words each time.

Cong Qiu also poked his head over: "Yes, why don't you let me touch it, I want to touch it too." As he spoke, he stretched out his paw to touch Pei Yan's abdominal muscles.

"Hey!" Pei Yan immediately straightened his clothes stingily, and pressed Cong Qiu's paws on Gao Yi's stomach: "Touch your brother Yi's, I will charge for it."

"Why don't you charge for letting Rong Xin touch it, Dad, you are a double-standard dog." Cong Qiu felt wronged and gave the best thing, and patted Gao Yi's abdominal muscles symbolically.Gao Yi blushed immediately, sucked in his saliva, and stretched out his claws to Cong Qiu: "Xiao Qiuzi, I want to touch you too."

Cong Qiu covered his chest: "Get lost!"

Rong Xin took a sip of the fruit juice, watched Cong Qiu and Gao Yi frolicking aside, a fleeting smile seemed to appear in his indifferent eyes.

Pei Yan saw it, smiled lightly, crossed his hands on the table, and raised his chin to signal Rong Xin: "Cong Qiu and Gao Yi should know each other, the one over there who hooks up with the little girl in red is called Chen Xiaoxing, The one on the left drinking hard is called Kong Hui, and they are all your prospective roommates. The one directly opposite you is the class monitor Xu Pengfan, who usually likes to play games to make trouble, and the one on the right is very simple and honest. You can ask him..."

In just a few words, Pei Yan almost introduced everyone in the class and Rong Xin.

"Why are you telling me this?" Rong Xin asked after a moment of silence.

Pei Yan changed a comfortable position and leaned on the back of the chair, and said with a low smile, "I won't tell you, you won't ask yourself after you graduate from senior year, although I don't mind if you only love me, but four years They are all isolated from the world, and they will definitely miss a lot of interesting things."

Rong Xin was noncommittal, and casually picked up which piece of grilled chicken it was, and put it on his plate: "You think everyone is like you, social madman."

Pei Yan folded his hands behind his head and smiled slightly. Although Rong Xin said so, he knew that the introduction just now must not be in vain.

Rong Xin has a natural resistance to people he doesn't know. Pei Yan has observed this characteristic of him, and even tested it with Gao Yi and Cong Qiu.Facts have proved that as long as Rong Xin has a certain in-depth understanding of the other party, the hostility and vigilance will be greatly reduced.

After mastering the essentials of this characteristic, Pei Yan can introduce him to the people in the class little by little, so as to help him integrate into normal social life.Although it is impossible to achieve it overnight, over time, it will definitely have a positive impact and change on Rong Xin.

As for what Rong Xin might have done, and whether he was hiding something, Pei Yan will find out bit by bit.But now, Rong Xin is right in front of his eyes, he is still the little iceberg that makes Pei Yan's heart flutter at a glance, and makes him overwhelmed with protection and fascination, nothing can change this.

"Well... do you want orange juice?" A timid male voice suddenly asked from behind.

Pei Yan turned her head and saw Wang Wentao, the classmate he had missed just now—he was holding a big tray with two glasses of orange juice on it, and was smiling at them flatteringly.

If every class has a core character like Pei Yan, then there must be a marginal character like Wang Wentao.

Wang Wentao's sense of existence is very low, his face is full of pimples, he is short and wears glasses, and he always looks submissive. It is said that his family is not very good. Half of the money was paid for the rent and half for Wang Wentao's tuition. Life was very difficult.

Pei Yan frowned and looked at the boys who were drinking and punching in the distance. He knew at a glance that some of them must be instructing Wang Wentao to run errands to help refill everyone's drinks.

Although there are very few people in this world who are really bad to the core, the instinct to bully the weak and fear the strong is very common.Wang Wentao's tired look makes him the best persimmon. Even in this kind of occasion where everyone gathers for dinner and fun, he will be instructed to do errands, but he dare not even complain. .

"Thank you." Pei Yan took the two glasses of orange juice and gave them to Rong Xin and herself respectively.

"Sit down and eat." Then Pei Yan took the tray from Wang Wentao's hand involuntarily, threw it aside casually, and smiled at him gently, "The food will be cold in a while..."

Wang Wentao froze in place, a little flattered.

"Zhang Xu!" Pei Yan raised his hand and waved towards the distance, "Is there an empty seat next to you, let Wen Tao do your job."

"No problem!" No one in the class did not give Pei Yan face, and Zhang Xu was known for his good temper in the class, so he immediately waved to Wang Wentao with a smile, "Come and sit down."

"Many...thanks." Wang Wentao stammered a little gratefully, bowed his head and walked towards the empty seat in the distance.

Rong Xin glanced at Pei Yan indifferently, but only for a moment, his attention quickly focused on the turntable again, and quickly picked up a piece of white chopped chicken that was turned in front of him.

Pei Yan looked at his movement of picking up the chicken, dumbfounded, and helped him pick up another piece, and put it in the bowl.

This episode passed quickly, and no one noticed that when walking past Rong Xin, Wang Wentao's tightly intertwined fingers trembled abnormally.

The night was getting dark, and the atmosphere of the dinner gradually became active. A few students got drunk and insisted on singing and performing for everyone, which made the girls laugh and laugh.

In the lively and lively atmosphere, Wang Wentao's face was strangely pale, his head was full of sweat, and his small eyes behind the lens stared at the opposite side without daring to blink—Rong Xin finally finished his original glass To drink, he moved the orange juice he had just brought to him.

"Pour this bottle of nutrient solution into Rong Xin's drink, do you hear me?" Guo Yiran's creepy low smile seemed to echo in his ears.

"What's this?" he heard his own trembling voice say.

"It's nothing, it's just something that makes his stomach hurt. You record his seizures for me, and I'm going to post it on the school forum to make him embarrass himself in front of everyone."

"But... But, I have no grievances with Rong Xin." Wang Wentao was about to cry.

Guo Yiran sneered: "I don't care if you have enmity with him or not, if you don't, you'll just wait for your father to be laid off tomorrow!"

……

Pei Yan was lowering her head to chat with Rong Xin, while Rong Xin was eating chicken drumsticks, nodding from time to time.

"Why do you love chicken so much?" Pei Yan has changed from being dumbfounded to shocked. Looking at the chicken bones piled up on Rong Xin's plate, he completely overturned his perception of him. , is actually a serious foodie, no wonder he is obsessed with braised chicken:

"Hey! Don't eat it. Don't you feel overwhelmed by eating too much? You must have been a reincarnation of a fox in your previous life."

You were a reincarnation of Erha in your previous life, and I didn't say anything.

Rong Xin gracefully tore off the last bite of meat from the chicken leg, and swallowed it, feeling a little full, and then turned his scorching gaze away from the Kung Pao chicken on the table in the distance.

How delicious the chicken is.Rong Xin wiped his mouth with a tissue indifferently, expressing contempt for Erha's lack of taste in his heart.

"Let's have something to drink." Pei Yan didn't realize at all that he was rejected by classmate Rong because he didn't show enthusiasm for the chicken. Now he felt distressed and scared, thinking that Xiao Bingshan might choke to death on the chicken in a second. "How about a couple of sips of orange juice?"

Rong Xin felt a little tired of drinking orange juice at this time, so he pushed the orange juice cup aside: "Is there any boiled water?"

Pei Yan got up immediately: "I'll pour it for you."

Wang Wentao's pupils shrank in the distance, and his palms were sweating from anxiety.

He added ingredients to the glass of orange juice, but Rong Xin didn't want to drink it.

He knew what would happen if he couldn't complete the task, and the consequences of his father's layoff were completely unbearable for his fragile family.

How to do!

Wang Wentao was so anxious and scared that his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, picked up the wine glass in his hand and walked over.He wanted to pretend to toast, and let Rong Xin drink the orange juice no matter what.

"Drink it slowly, it's a little hot." Pei Yan sat back down again and handed the poured boiled water to Rong Xin.

"Hmm." Rong Xin took it with both hands, swallowing in small mouthfuls.

His neck was white and slender, and when he swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, making people's eyes move along with it.

Pei Yan's mouth became parched again by accident, and he quickly covered his face with his fist and coughed lightly, then subconsciously picked up Rong Xin's orange juice and wanted to take a sip to suppress the fire in his heart.

Wang Wentao, who was walking, almost had a sudden cardiac arrest!

If there was anyone who was really kind to me during the short university, it must be Pei Yan.Wang Wentao still remembers a time when he was stuck in an alley after school, and it was Pei Yan who helped him out. Afterwards, he patted himself on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid in the future, if someone bullies you, come to me."

He was so moved that day that he couldn't help crying, but he also felt that he was not worthy, and he didn't have the nerve to really go to Pei Yan after being bullied.

However, he always remembered Pei Yan's kindness in his heart, and he never had a chance to repay this kindness, so how could he let Pei Yan drink the poisoned water now!

"Tomorrow the class plans to divide into groups to climb Fengming Mountain." Pei Yan put the cup to her mouth and said to Rong Xin, "Go to bed early tonight, I think I will be very tired tomorrow."

"Yes." Rong Xin nodded and warned him, "Don't snore."

"How can it be? I've always been ashamed when I sleep, and I will never behave indecently again." Pei Yan vowed, picked up the cup and was about to drink it.

Suddenly, a figure behind him rushed over and slammed into his arm.

wow-

The cup fell to the ground in an instant, and the orange juice spilled all over the floor.

"Ouch!" Wang Wentao rushed over staggeringly, apologizing repeatedly, and grabbed the napkin on the table to wipe Pei Yan's pants, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I couldn't stand firmly just now!"

There was laughter all around: "Brother Tao, why do you still fall while walking on flat ground?"

Wang Wentao blushed so much that he almost wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

"It's okay." Pei Yan didn't mean to blame at all, but just felt sorry for his limited edition sneakers. He bent down and helped Wang Wentao up, "I'll just go back and change one."

"I'm really sorry!" Wang Wentao kept apologizing.

A stack of napkins was suddenly handed in front of him, "Your clothes are also wet, wipe them off." Rong Xin looked at him, his voice still cold and flat.

Wang Wentao froze for a moment, subconsciously took it from his hand.

Pei Yan said to Rong Xin: "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

"I'll go back with you," Rong Xin stood up, "I'm just tired."

When the two left the table, the girls were a little disappointed, but the atmosphere was immediately pulled back by a few warm-up kings, and the hilarious dinner continued.

Wang Wentao rushed into the bathroom next to the box and locked himself in the cubicle.

He was panting heavily, and it took a full five minutes before his breathing finally returned to normal.He tremblingly took out a small bottle of potion from his pocket, the brown body of the bottle could be seen under the light, half of the liquid was left in it.

Out of guilt and sympathy for Rong Xin, Wang Wentao only put half of the poison in today's orange juice, but he never thought of failing.

Now the only half bottle of nutrient solution left is his last bargaining chip, and there is absolutely no chance of failing again.

"I'm sorry..." Wang Wentao choked up and hugged the small bottle to his chest, but the guilt in his heart was quickly overcome by the pain and fear that his father might lose his job.

There was a flash of determination in his tear-filled eyes—he will be with Rong Xin in tomorrow's mountaineering activity, and he must let him drink the poison.
