Seven's secret

The moon is bright and beautiful, quietly shining on the rocks, ponds, flowers and trees in the courtyard.The hustle and bustle of the city was isolated far away, only the murmur of summer insects and the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the mountains and forests.

He Mao poured tea for Mr. Pei, and glanced at the house behind him with a complicated expression.He knew that behind the window was Xiaoqi's study, next to the study was the living room, and on the other side of the living room was the bedroom.At this moment, the two young men in that bedroom were whispering.Being far away, He Mao couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could still hear the laughter in their voices clearly.

He Mao looked at his uncle in surprise, wondering how he accepted such a thing.The young man named Pei Rong, he could see clearly, the eyes he was looking at Xiao Qi were not just relatives or friends.

"Uncle Master..." He Mao looked at him hesitantly, "You little grandson...he and Xiao Qi..."

"They're fine." Mr. Pei leaned on the rocking chair and swayed gently, with a hint of alcohol in his eyes, "This kid has been fighting with us for several months because of Xiaoqi."

He Mao was surprised by such an answer, "Don't you object?"

"I opposed it at first," Mr. Pei sighed, "but compared with the child's own happiness, what is the importance of the parents' face?"

He Mao didn't make a sound.He didn't want to show his distrust of that child in front of Mr. Pei.It's just a kid who is two years older than Xiao Qi, can he really take care of Xiao Qi?Most importantly, can he really not care about what Xiao Qi has experienced before?If he cared... what should Xiao Qi do?

He Mao has never been a warm-hearted and kind person.When he first set foot in the family business, he was plotted against by several clan brothers, and was forced to leave his hometown in the end. He has always been indifferent in human relations.But after all, Xiaoqi has been with him for so many years and called him master, and he has no wife and no children, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he regards him as his son.

In the past at Murong's house, he also took Xiaoqi away several times in the name of so-called traveling, and traveled to many places.He never revealed his plan to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi always thought it was just his hobby, and was willing to take his apprentices to these remote places to gain knowledge.However, to his dismay, although he tried his best, he was found by the people sent by Murong He several times.At first Murong He only warned him on the sidelines, but later he simply didn't allow him to take Xiao Qi out of Murong's old house.At that time, He Mao was nominally a consultant invited by Murong He, but in fact he was just a homeless man without family support. How could he challenge Murong He and even the Murong family?He could only put his flag down and stay by this silly apprentice's side, protecting as much as he could.

It's different now, although Xiao Qi is still surrounded by Murong's little bastards jumping up and down, watching, but after all, Xiao Qi is no longer a member of the Murong family, and Murong Jin's foundation is still shallow, he hasn't had time to digest the family. Naturally, every force in the country has no spare power to use heavy weapons like the Murong family to deal with their masters and apprentices.He Mao felt that his master could do a lot, at least he could stand up and say a word to protect him.

"Xiao Qi is not easy." He Mao considered how to express his opinion to his uncle, "You also know that I don't have any family members. I treat Xiao Qi as my son..."

Mr. Pei was slightly surprised, and then smiled, "Are you worried about my child?"

He Mao was silent.

Mr. Pei thought for a while and said: "My child, if you talk too much, you will only think that I am boasting. But Xiao He, my Xiao Rong has spent a lot of time with us for Xiao Qi, and he almost broke up with his parents. The degree of relationship. He is a stubborn child, if you say that he will treat Xiaoqi badly, I don't even believe it."

He Mao became more and more worried when he heard the words "dead heart", "Shall I talk to him?"

Old Pei laughed, "It's up to you."

He Mao thought about it in his heart, and made up his mind to find a chance to order Pei Rong.In order to prevent others from thinking that Xiaoqi of his family has no backer and can bully him casually.

Xiaoqi took a shower, dried her hair, and got tangled up again when she walked to the bed.

One side of his bed was against the wall. Shouldn't the person who lay down first take the initiative to sleep on the inner side?Pei Rong, why are you lying on the side of the bed with your eyes shining?Xiao Qi glanced at the log head and foot of the bed, and felt that the idea of ​​climbing into the bed from these two ends was really ridiculous.If he really wanted to do this, Pei Rong would die laughing.

"Lie down inside." Xiao Qi had no choice but to stand by the bed and talk to him about the conditions, "I'll sleep outside."

Pei Rong pretended that he didn't understand what he meant, "It's okay, I'll sleep outside. I go to work early, so it's not good to disturb you when I wake up. Come up quickly, it's getting late." He said so He said, but his body didn't have the slightest intention to move away.

Xiao Qi blinked her eyes, she was so annoyed.Is this forcing him to climb over these two long legs?Pei Rong has always looked very decent, why is he so... so vile?

Pei Rong was still urging him, "Come up quickly."

Xiao Qi's face turned red with anger, "Get out of the way, I'll go up."

Pei Rong looked at him with deep meaning, "You can come up if I don't get out of the way, Xiao Qi, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Qi gritted her teeth secretly, "I didn't think about anything!"

Going to bed with both hands and feet, Xiao Qi was very careful not to touch Pei Rong's body.But Pei Rong was dishonest, before he climbed onto the bed, two long legs caught his legs, Xiao Qi was a little flustered, and fell headfirst on the thin quilt after being tripped by him.

"Pei Rong?!"

Pei Rong came over to help him with a smile, and put warm palms on Xiao Qi's waist.Touching Xiao Qi's gentle body through the thin cloth, Pei Rong couldn't bear it anymore, and gently rubbed his hands on his waist.Xiao Qi trembled, her face flushed red, and then turned pale again, "Let go!"

Pei Rong suddenly realized something, and quickly let go of his hand.

Xiao Qi shrank unconsciously while sitting on the thin quilt.

Pei Rong suddenly felt distressed, "Xiaoqi?"

Xiao Qi's feet kicked twice on the bed covered with straw mats, so that his back was pressed against the bed rail on the side of the wall, and his eyes were slightly distracted.Pei Rong didn't know what he thought of, but Xiao Qi's appearance really made him feel frustrated.When will the nightmare-like past really pass?

Pei Rong didn't know what to do with the situation, so he got up and walked around the living room, looking left and right, but found nothing that could make Xiao Qi happy.Apart from a plate of fruit, there are only a few bags of snacks on the coffee table.Xiao Qi doesn't like to eat snacks very much, and occasionally buys some dried fruit, which was fed to the little hedgehog to grind his teeth, and then he probably thought the taste was not bad, so he ate it himself.Pei Rong picked out a bag of pistachios and came back with it.

Xiao Qi still kept her original appearance huddled in the bed, but there was a little more vitality in her eyes. Seeing Pei Rong come back, her expression was still a bit shrunken.

Pei Rong slowed down and carefully sat down beside the bed, "Xiaoqi? What do you think I'm holding?"

Xiao Qi's eyes fell on his hand, but he didn't make a sound.

Pei Rong peeled off a pistachio, put it in the palm of his hand and brought it to him, "It's a pistachio. You like it, right?"

Xiao Qi looked at the light green fruit and nodded slowly.

Pei Rong stretched his hand forward again, Xiao Qi looked at him, then at the fruit in his palm, carefully stretched out his hand to pick it up, and put it in his mouth.

Pei Rong felt that he was coaxing the child.Fortunately, after eating half a bag of pistachios, Xiao Qi's expression also returned to calm, but there was still a trace of panic in his eyes.Pei Rong came over with a glass of water to rinse his mouth, pulled him to lie down, and shook off the thin quilt to cover him.Although it has fallen into a volt, it is still a bit cool with the cool wind blowing over the water with the moisture on the back of the mountain and the lake.

After covering the quilt, when Pei Rong's hand was about to retract, it was held by Xiao Qi.Pei Rong looked up at him, Xiao Qi's lips trembled slightly, "I'm sorry..."

Pei Rong smiled, "It's my fault. Did it scare you?"

Xiao Qi didn't speak, but his eyes suddenly turned red, "I actually..."

Pei Rong lay down beside him, reaching out and tentatively pulling him into his arms.Xiao Qi's shoulders stiffened.Pei Rong didn't seem to notice his reaction, and patted him on the back lightly, once and for all, as if he had endless patience.

Xiao Qi slowly relaxed.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Qi closed his eyes and rubbed against his shoulder, "I didn't mean to do that."

"I know." Pei Rong smiled silently, "It's okay."

Xiao Qi was a little annoyed, he didn't think so, this person was Pei Rong, not someone who had ever bullied him.However, that natural reaction was out of his control.He naturally knew what would happen between a couple. If he couldn't overcome the obstacles in his heart, would Pei Rong still wait for him?

Pei Rong seemed to have noticed something, lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, "Baby Seven, I have patience, you have to be patient with yourself."

Xiao Qi's attention was focused on his forehead, the place he had kissed.Soft touch, slightly itchy, it was a kind of soothing touch, not annoying, it made him feel at ease.

Xiao Qi has never been comforted by a kiss.

"You again..." Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed the button on his chest, closed her eyes and said softly, "...kiss me again."

Pei Rong's heart skipped a beat, and subconsciously wanted to ask "Are you serious?", but he held back when the words came to his lips.He knew that now was not the time to ask this kind of question, what Xiao Qi needed was not to confirm his mind again, but what he needed was an expression from Pei Rong.He needs to use this kind of expression to strengthen his poor self-confidence.

Pei Rong kissed his forehead lightly, right where he kissed just now.He backed away to see Xiao Qi's reaction, then leaned over and kissed his eyebrows.

Xiaoqi's eyebrows are beautiful, with distinct roots, and they run along the sideburns as if they are fixed by glue.Pei Rong remembers someone saying that people with such eyebrows are very resolute in character, and Xiaoqi in his family... Well, the things that Xiaoqi is sure of are impossible to pull back, but his appearance is too deceiving , people can't imagine that he would be so stubborn.

Eyes, Xiaoqi's eyes are the most moving part of the whole face.The thick eyelashes are like dense grass, quietly surrounding the clear pond, Pei Rong saw his own reflection in the flowing water waves.This gave him an illusion, as if he was the only one in his world, only himself.

Pei Rong's kiss lightly brushed the tip of his nose and landed on his lips.

The light touch like a superficial touch is not so much a kiss as a test. He doesn't know if Xiao Qi can accept such an intimate contact.

Xiao Qi looked at him, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were slightly blurred, and he looked incredibly moving.

Pei Rong's breathing became heavier unconsciously, "Do you think... okay?"

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and touched his face, "It's better than good."

Seeing the slight smile on his lips, Pei Rong couldn't help but also laughed.Although he still wanted to do something more, a voice in his heart was desperately persuading him: enough, really enough, this is the first step, you can't scare him.

Pei Rong took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing heat in his heart, and pressed Xiao Qi on his arm, "Close your eyes now and go to sleep!"

Xiao Qi rubbed against his arms, closed her eyes and nodded, with a smile on her lips.
