Oh, how do you hit someone?

With several hours of jet lag, Xiang Bai gave a dozen lines of question marks to save face, followed by exclamation marks, which made Pei Jiding's eyes hurt.

The video call came in almost without a second.

"Fuck, what are you doing, the wall of the small black room? It's so dark, I feel like I've seen the devil with your old face!"

Pei Jiding didn't have the heart to talk to Xiang Bai, and appeared on the screen of Xiang Bai's phone on the other side of the ocean with a half-lit face.

"I like to watch it, but I don't like to watch it and turn it into voice."

"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood." Xiang Bai didn't get angry, and went straight to the point, "Why did you remember to ask your father, you don't want to stage some bloody drama where the prodigal son turns back and grabs the company with your brother, right? "

"Damn it, that's turning around, that's bowing to money." Pei Jiding rolled his eyes, and found some of his old rascal spirit in Xiang Bai's teasing.

"Does my boss remember? His mother is going to have an operation and is short of money. I'm wondering where to raise some money."

Xiang Bai paused for a while, reasoned out the logic, and asked a sentence: "Comrade Pei Aiguo, your boss's mother, why do you care about it? With a little money, you can do your best, and you can still sell your iron and soul. Where?"

This sentence stuck Pei Jiding.

If he wanted to put the past aside, he would definitely say "I will take care of it if I want to", and no one would pursue the little thoughts hidden behind his somewhat careless good deeds.

But on Qin Shang's side, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would have to tremble.

His pause scared the hearts of the iron buddies on the other side.

"...Don't scare me when you talk. You won't fall in love with my aunt because of lack of maternal love..."

"Get out!" Pei Jiding had a conditioned reflex, and with a word full of anger, Xiang Bai's wandering thoughts were brought back.

Poor Xiang Bai's heart has not yet stabilized, and the foundation built on the opposite side has completely collapsed again.

"I see our boss."

Pei Jiding's sexuality is not a secret.But that doesn't mean it's normal to abduct a boyfriend back after going out to work.

There was a tacit silence on both sides of the phone for a second or two, and then a worried question came from Xiang Bai.

"Let me ask solemnly, how old is your boss?"

"thirty."

"Think about it carefully before answering me. Do you think he takes good care of you and that's why you have a good impression?"

"There are reasons for this. What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Xiao Pei," Xiang Bai said earnestly, with Dad Xiang's usual demeanor on the wine table, uttered a few words, "You don't lack fatherly love, do you?"

"..."

"Xiang Bai."

"Huh? Why?"

"If you weren't hundreds of kilometers away from me, I would definitely hit you on the head with a beer bottle." Pei Jiding gritted his teeth, the half of his face that was lit up in the dark looked scary.

Xiang Bai looked at Pei Ershao's expression carefully with the slight light on the phone screen, and confirmed that there was no joke, and finally accepted the fact that the cycad tree, which had guarded itself like a jade for more than [-] years, wanted to bloom.

"Cough. So what's the progress now? Confession? Confirmed relationship? So start supporting parents?"

"Nothing, unrequited love." Pei Jiding lay down on the bed, extinguishing Xiang Bai's burning heart of gossip, "Don't be poor, what's going on with Pei Wende."

"It's not very good. To be precise, it's not very good." Xiang Bai is abroad, and the news is all brought by Xiang's father, so he is quite well-informed.

Family affairs should not be publicized, but the word "drinking" cannot be spared.

"Last month, my father drank with old man Pei, and Pei Wende said a few words when he was drunk..." Xiang Bai glanced at Pei Jiding's face, and said hesitantly, "It's not very pleasant."

"How ugly can it be? Let me tell you the original words."

"It's nothing, scolding auntie, talking big. The most important thing is that it's just right to leave one sentence, so that I don't have to bother to deal with it." Xiang Bai tried his best to say it like reciting, but the words were not good, and they hurt people after all.

Pei Jiding's guess was pretty close, and he didn't expect his father to change his mind and treat him like his own son.I didn't even have time to feel a little lost in my heart, I just thought that it was impossible to get money from Pei Wende.

"How short are you? I'll give it to you first." Xiang Bai shrugged when he saw that he was silent, and changed the subject.

"I don't have any idea. Cancer treatment costs about a hundred thousand." Pei Jiding replied, after recalling what Xiang Bai said, he added, "Don't meddle in it, your father is strictly controlling it. How much money?"

"Underestimate your buddy's wealth?" Xiang Bai said "hey", and took out a card, and showed it to Pei Jiding, "This one, use it!"

Pei Jiding glanced at it and said, "The congratulatory gifts your sister gave you when you were eighteen years old totaled 660, and we spent 260 at the bar at night. If you haven't moved in these years, you should have [-] left now." six."

"..." Xiang Bai turned over the card and carefully identified it for a while, "Damn, you remember this! Then what should you do? What about your brother? He hasn't returned to China. It shouldn't be too much to borrow 10,000+."

Pei Jiding stopped talking.

It's not that he never thought of asking Pei Jibei for money, but he couldn't find a good excuse.

His brother's brains have been better than his since he was a child. According to the racing car, he has just turned a corner, and he may have already sprinted for the last time.

If you want to borrow money, you have to think of an excuse, otherwise, step by step, his brother will wipe out his little thoughts.

"Let's talk about it later." Thoughts swirled in my mind for a few times, but in the end it was all right, "I can't do it anymore, I'll go find him again."

Then he skillfully reported a series of numbers to the screen.

Xiang Bai was confused, "What are you doing?"

"Transfer." Pei Ershao said confidently, "You don't need the card after a few years, use it to do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue."

"..."

Xiang Bai was speechless, and after a few seconds of silence, the WeChat call display was turned off.

Pei Jiding stayed in the dark for a few minutes, waiting for a bank card message.

[You have received a transfer of 6242 yuan, please click for acceptance...]

Then Xiang Bai's profile picture on WeChat lit up.

"My memory is wrong, the bar cost 424, don't say I don't help people thoroughly!"

Pei Jiding stared at the message for a long time, his eyes became sore, and he replied a message with a bit of solemnity.

Laozi TMD thrived: "I will keep it for you, and I will pay you back when I come back."

Laozi TMD thrives: "Thank you."

Xiang Bai replied with a flattered emoji and ended the conversation.

Pei Jiding turned over the contact list, only Pei Jibei's WeChat avatar with a blue sky looked friendlier.

The white light brought by the dialog box flickered in the eyes, but only the word "Brother" came out.

In the middle of the night, it was rare for Pei Jibei to stay awake, so he took care of his idle brother.

Pei Jibei: "Yes. What's the matter?"

The WeChat notification interrupted all Pei Jiding's words, and he held back for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak.

Not only because of the difficulty of explaining, when Pei Jiding typed the words "lack of money", Pei Jiding's rare shame trembled violently, expressing a kind of panic that would never yield anything.

So the long speech was finally reduced to a casual chatter that fits Pei Ershao.

Laozi TMD thrives: "I will call you when I am free, insomnia."

Pei Jibei on the opposite side may think that he is too nervous, so he never replied.Pei Jiding hid a moment of embarrassment, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.Only if that point of temptation never existed.

Pei Jiding lay with his eyes open in the darkened room until the sun rose and a new day came.

The long silent WeChat flashed.Pei Jiding turned on the phone.

Pei Jibei: It's dawn, you can go to sleep.I'm fine the day after tomorrow. I can chat with you.
