Warm Water Spirits

Pei Zhe called Yu Feng.

The call was connected quickly, and Yu Feng knew what Pei Zhe was going to ask, so he said directly, "Pei Si, it's downstairs. I've been sitting alone for a long time."

Pei Zhe hung up the phone and did not let Aunt Song follow, "I'll go and have a look."

Aunt Song hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but said when Pei Zhe opened the door: "Do you remember everything? Mr. Pei... I'm worried—"

Pei Zhe paused slightly, "It's okay when I think about it."

Aunt Song was very worried, sighed, and stopped Pei Zhe again when she remembered something, "Mr. Pei, wait!"

Pei Zhe bought the scarf in one go last time.Aunt Song took the softest and thickest strip and handed it to Pei Zhe, "Don't freeze Yun Qi."

It was still dark at five o'clock.

The nearby street lamps that have been on all night are quite lazy, and they fall on the ground in a dry and white patch, like snow in the shadows, which will not melt for a few days.There was fog in the distance, and the sparse light was completely shrouded in the indistinguishable fog, leaving only halos.

Pei Zhe saw Jiang Yunqi at a glance.

Wearing a down jacket, leaning back on the edge of the bench, expressionless, eyes closed, I don't know what I'm thinking.

After sitting for a long time, my eyebrows and eyes are stained with mist, clear and delicate, the redness at the corners of my eyes is from freezing, and the redness at the tip of my nose should be from crying.The hazy light from a few steps away fell on the clear and handsome face, making the lip color even lighter.The neck is tilted back, and the excessive whiteness is exposed to the cold weather, which is clearer than ice and snow.But the collarbone couldn't bear the cold, showing a bit of fragility.

The accumulated anger mixed with worry and other emotions made Pei Zhe unable to control his strength well. He grabbed Jiang Yunqi's shoulders, and at the moment when he opened his eyes in panic, he circled the man's neck three times with a sullen face, and finally tucked in In the down jacket.

After doing this, Pei Zhe didn't say a word, his lips were straightened, and his eyes were extremely stern.

Pei Zhe rarely gets angry.

The last time he got angry was when Jiang Yunqi was promoted to the third party and the parents' meeting pretended to cough, but it didn't do much after that.Jiang Yunqi cried too much when he knew he was wrong, Pei Che was worried about his body, and could only digest his anger by himself - many times in the past, Pei Che would not express his anger too directly.Maybe it's self-cultivation, but more often, it's the power and influence that he has condensed invisibly with few words.

Jiang Yunqi's eyes were still wet, and he opened them suddenly, his azure blue pupils soaked in the dense light, and those emotions that could not be hidden in the future escaped in a blink of an eye.

In the next second, Jiang Yunqi lowered his head and did not speak.

No matter how patient Pei Zhe was, he couldn't resist Jiang Yunqi's negativity.

"Why did you run out all of a sudden?" Pei Zhe asked in a deep voice without turning around.

Jiang Yunqi remained silent.

It was like going back to seven years ago, the little guy who came in through the window in the middle of the night, was like this from beginning to end without saying a word.

Pei Zhe felt that this was not a good place to talk.

Besides, if he stayed any longer, his anger would rise to his throat!

"Go back." Pei Zhe pulled Jiang Yunqi up.

After being frozen for a long time, his feet were stiff, Jiang Yunqi was caught off guard and leaned back slightly.

Pei Zhe thought that he was unwilling and wanted to hide, so he lost his patience. He took a deep breath, poured the cold into his head to try to calm down, but his mouth was not as gentle as usual, and he said darkly, "What are you doing!"

Jiang Yunqi looked up at him eagerly.

Having been together day and night for a long time, even if the memories are sudden and unacceptable, Jiang Yunqi's subconscious dependence and grievances when he was wronged cannot be changed for a while. His voice is more honest than his own, and several times are short and low: "I didn't move... my legs are stiff It's..."

This inadvertently adds fuel to the fire.

Pei Zhe didn't expect that one day he would be so angry, and he didn't expect that he would sneer at Jiang Yunqi, but he really sneered.

The next second when he picked him up, Pei Zhe sneered at the frightened Jiang Yunqi in his arms, and said in a sarcastic tone, "You're really promising. You're young, you haven't memorized all the vocabulary, and you ran away from home." She's proficient. What if Aunt Song didn't hear the door slam? What if she froze to death outside? She's very capable! Where have you been studying for a few years?! Just leave without saying a word? What do you think my family is? Go to your sister Pei Yue - I don't think you want to stay here either. "

"Jiang Yunqi, you really taught me a lot."

Jiang Yunqi huddled to listen to the training, closed his eyes and did not dare to look at Pei Zhe, only heard the first two sentences, tears fell down his face.

This tearing is also purely a habitual reaction of being trained and called "Jiang Yunqi" by his full name in the past.

When Pei Zhe saw that he was still crying, his impatience was suppressed, and he felt a little relieved.

This is the first time he has dropped the number of people from the beginning to the end.

Even the vocabulary scores came out, which shows that he is very angry.

As soon as he entered the door, he was hugged by Aunt Song, who was both a darling and a treasure, but he didn't mention the speculation about Pei Zhe's going out.

When the tears fall, they will not fall.

Aunt Song entered the room with Jiang Yunqi in her arms, leading him to ignore Pei Zhe who had a rare and fierce look the whole time—even blocking Jiang Yunqi's trembling gaze several times.

Aunt Song finally locked the bedroom door from the inside.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Pei Zhe was left face to face in front of the closed door, and he didn't react for a while.

Aunt Song didn't turn on the headlights, she coaxed Jiang Yunqi to go to bed, and turned on the small lamp beside the bed.

I cried in the pool before, and the redness and swelling disappeared a lot without sleep in the middle of the night. After going out for a trip, my eyes became red from the cold, which will swell faster.

Aunt Song looked carefully at Jiang Yunqi's eyelids, her heart ached so badly, "Stay well, Aunt Song will wring the hot towel for you, don't run away."

A little bit of guilt hit his heart, and Jiang Yunqi felt even more uncomfortable.

When you close your eyes, you will see yourself jumping up and stabbing Pei Zhe's chest with a dagger in your hand.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't help shaking his shoulders. In the environment where Pei Zhe was temporarily isolated, he covered his eyes and finally cried in front of another close person.

All the fierce struggles behind her back before, not only did not get a moment's relief because of slipping out, but became a cold and solid wall of heart, which was unavoidable.

Patience has never been so scarce.

Pei Zhe, who had been standing outside the door for less than a minute, was about to knock on the door when he heard Jiang Yunqi's crying that had been suppressed all night.

At first, it was muffled in his mouth, and the whining sound was low and soft. Then it seemed that Aunt Song said something, and Jiang Yunqi cried out loudly in an instant, crying very miserably, crying several times until he coughed and his throat was hoarse.

Pei Zhe clenched his hands on the door, and after a while, he sat back and went to the living room.

The warm towel covered his eyes, and the tears secreted were sucked away in a moment. Jiang Yunqi was inexplicably relieved. Under Aunt Song's silent comfort, Jiang Yunqi gradually calmed down.

Towels were not removed.

Aunt Song spoke softly: "Yun Qi remember?"

Jiang Yunqi choked and nodded, "Brother Pei was killed by me..." At the end of the speech, he cried out of sadness again.

Aunt Song smiled and said, "Then who was the one who murdered you just now?"

Jiang Yunqi stopped talking, and after blindfolded, he changed his voice: "I stabbed Brother Pei..."

His chest rose and fell, and the Pearl White Jade Plaque slipped out from the neckline. Jiang Yunqi stretched out his hand to hold it, his palm was warm.

"Yun Qi, it's okay to think about it. But don't be affected by it for too long. Do you know what is the most important thing now?"

Jiang Yunqi didn't even think about it, and said very seriously: "Be good to Brother Pei. Compensate Brother Pei."

Aunt Song was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing for a long time, which made Jiang Yunqi feel weird.

Jiang Yunqi took away the towel to see Aunt Song, but didn't speak.

Aunt Song touched Jiang Yunqi's hot ears that had been frozen for a long time, squeezed them, and told with a smile: "It's the final exam!"

Jiang Yunqi looked at Aunt Song and held the jade plaque tightly. He didn't understand why the words "final exam" appeared now.

There were swords and blood in front of him, and the final exam seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Yun Qi, don't let yourself be immersed in the past. It's all over."

Aunt Song's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, she bent down to look into Jiang Yunqi's eyes, and said: "Now you have your own life, your own tasks, and the people and things you like. Don't let the past affect your current life." .”

present.

Jiang Yunqi didn't speak.

Aunt Song's reasoning is not difficult to understand. He understands the difference between the past and the present, but it seems that understanding and accepting are not the same thing.

"Aunt Song knows it's hard. Aunt Song is not you, but Aunt Song still hopes you can remember, you know?"

After a while, Jiang Yunqi nodded and said, "What about Brother Pei?"

"Do you think something is wrong with him?"

Two or three sentences are inseparable from Pei Zhe, Aunt Song laughed angrily, "I heard all about you when you were fierce downstairs. It wasn't you who cried in the end, did your Brother Pei cry?"

Jiang Yunqi didn't know what to say.

"……but--"

"I will let him in now, and he will kill you."

Aunt Song took away the cold towel, "Speaking louder than you, full of air, does it look like someone who has been stabbed? But you, Yun Qi, if you catch a cold, Aunt Song will really leave you alone!" "

Jiang Yunqi was dumb for a while, feeling that Aunt Song was too partial, and he couldn't stand it.But for a while, I couldn't think of any loopholes in Aunt Song's words. Pei Zhe is indeed very good now, but at that time——

"Think again!" Aunt Song said with a serious face: "It's still early, Aunt Song will call you later, sleep a little longer."

The blue and gray gradually revealed outside the window.

Jiang Yunqi hugged the quilt tightly and turned over, opened his eyes for a while, then slowly closed them.

Aunt Song's words still comforted him.

Pei Zhe is indeed not affected now, and there are no sequelae...

When he was in a daze, Jiang Yunqi felt someone hug him.

It's Pei Zhe.

Jiang Yunqi froze for a moment, a little scared and at a loss, and finally called "Brother Pei" in a low voice as usual.

This time it was Pei Zhe who should not be him.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Yunqi wanted to turn around, but Pei Zhe hugged him so tightly that there was no room for him to turn around.

Jiang Yunqi called "Brother Pei" again, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with Pei Zhe.

Although Pei Zhe could not be seen, Pei Zhe was very cold.Since entering the house, Jiang Yunqi has warmed up, and Pei Zhe is only in the living room, so it is not so cold.

"Brother Pei, are you cold?"

Jiang Yunqi knew that what he did was wrong, many things happened too fast, but if he was given another chance, he would not run out.

He feels guilty towards Pei Zhe, and he has anxiety and uneasiness that he doesn't know how to deal with, but what's more, he wants to be close and possess the dependence and love.

Jiang Yunqi suddenly realized that he needed Pei Zhe.

Whether it is to get forgiveness from Pei Zhe, or to get something else, he needs Pei Zhe.

"Brother Pei, don't keep silent..."

"Yun Qi."

"Ah."

"No matter what comes to mind, don't push me away."
