Rebirth Poppy

Braised lettuce, stir-fried cauliflower, braised pork, chicken soup with mushrooms, and pork ribs with cola. It was already an hour later.

When serving the Coke ribs to the table, Mrs. Wu was walking around from time to time, muttering to herself, and the joy on her face had long been replaced by anxiety.

The reason she was so sure that Pei Muli would come back was because she had watched Pei Muli grow up, and knew him so well that even Mr. Pei couldn't compare.

Although Pei Muli didn't take Xia Tong seriously in his heart either on face or in behavior, she knew that her young master just didn't realize it, but Xia Tong definitely had a place in his heart.

Otherwise, on such a special day today, if he hadn't called in the villa, he wouldn't have answered it at all; let alone said so many words after answering the call.

It's just that with the passage of time, Pei Muli was nowhere to be seen, and her certainty gradually dissipated - after all, Xia Tong's identity was there, and it was shared with others.Even if he has a place in the young master's heart, it is difficult enough to affect his level.

"Mr. Xia, can you call the young master?" Seeing that Xia Tong was taking off his apron, pulling out a chair and sitting at the table, Aunt Wu gave him the phone without giving up.

Xia Tong took the phone, wanted to dial but found that he didn't remember Pei Muli's phone number, so he handed the phone back to Mrs. Wu, took out the phone, flipped through the call history, and played Pei Muli's number.

The phone beeped.It is estimated that Mrs. Wu's tense and expectant eyes affected him, and he even started to feel a little nervous.

So much so that his throat was a little hoarse when faced with the phone that rang several times and was almost connected when it was almost busy.

Qing coughed before saying, "I, I made dinner... how long will you be back? The food won't taste good when it's cold."

That side did not speak.As for Xia Tong, he has already said what he should say, and expressed what he should express, and he is not in the mood to say something that makes him sick against his will.The two of them just kept silent, and Aunt Wu anxiously winked at the side to suggest that Xia Tong would say more, but Xia Tong didn't look at her at all, and just put the mobile phone next to her ear, looking down at the steaming girl. dish.

I don't know how long it took, but when Xia Tong was about to switch hands to hold the phone, Fang Pei Muli's cold voice sounded, "Go and open the door."

Ha ha.

The moment he heard these words, the smile on Xia Tong's face was brighter than ever. He put down his phone and glanced at Aunt Wu with a smile, before walking towards the door.

Aunt Wu asked from behind, "The young master is back?"

"Just outside the door."

With both Pei and Du staying here, this place is no longer what it used to be. There are about a dozen servants alone, but now, when she heard that her young master was waiting outside the door, Auntie Wu's eyebrows froze. Wrinkled, "Why didn't anyone open the door? Those people must knock hard!"

Seeing that Xia Tong had already walked to the door, she temporarily let go of this thought, stopped following her, and called the servants in the living room and cleaning up the kitchen to leave.

Xia Tong opened the door and saw Pei Muli standing straight at the door, his blue eyes flickering under the light.

Lowering his eyes, Xia Tong took a sideways step back, bent down and took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and placed them in front of Pei Muli, who had only stepped into the room without moving.

This movement is like a little wife waiting for her husband to return, skilled and normal.

The color of the pupils turned a darker layer, Pei Muli changed his shoes, but still did not move.Seeing this, Xia Tong looked up at him suspiciously, but saw that he was looking at him burningly, and then opened his arms.

At first he was puzzled, and then immediately reacted.Xia Tong hurriedly stepped forward and unbuttoned his suit with trembling hands, walked to his side, tiptoed slightly to remove his coat, and when he turned to hang the coat, his earlobes were slightly red.

Pei Muli's expressionless face softened a lot when he saw the color spread on his small earlobes, and he even smiled faintly.

Xia Tong didn't find it strange that Mrs. Wu and everyone in the hall suddenly disappeared.When he put the rice in the electric hot pot into a bowl in the kitchen, the shy smile on his face disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his black pupils flickered.

When he came out with a sea bowl filled with rice, Pei Muli was already sitting at the table, eating the dishes gracefully.

Xia Tong quickened his pace, put the sea bowl on the side of the table, leaned over to take the bowl from his hand, and said in a low voice while filling the rice, "I'm not good at cooking, I only eat some home-cooked food, if you don't think it tastes good, don't force it... "

"Very good." Pei Muli said suddenly, reaching out to take away the bowl from Xia Tong's hand, the chopsticks moved from time to time, obviously eating very deliciously.

The corner of Xia Tong's mouth slowly raised a smile, and sat on the other side with the rice.Seeing that Pei Muli happened to be sandwiching Coke ribs, he explained, "Sister-in-law Wu taught me this. It's the first time I make it. It seems to be a little burnt."

Pei Muli hummed lightly, but picked up a few chopsticks on the plate containing Coke ribs.Then his eyes turned to the wine bottle on the side of the table.

"Uh... I want to learn how to drink, so I chose a bottle with a low alcohol content in the supermarket just now... I don't know when Mrs. Wu took it out..." Xia Tong lowered his head as he spoke.

Even if the storage room is a blind spot for monitoring, he disappeared for more than ten minutes after all. If you don’t give a reason, you will definitely be suspected. But the wine in that place is naturally not good, and he only has this excuse up.

Fortunately, Pei Muli only nodded his head and said, "It's good that you don't know how to drink."

Does this disapprove of his learning?Xia Tong let out an "oh" and stopped talking.

A little late dinner was spent in a silent but warm atmosphere.Xia Tong wanted to take the opportunity to say something, but Pei Muli was too shrewd, and although he had been very obedient and docile in the past few months, it was nothing more than that.

Pei Muli would definitely be puzzled by his sudden outpouring of affection and concern, and maybe he wouldn't think that his concern was genuine, but he still came... For Xia Tong, this was enough, so it would be wrong to say more , if the acting is overdone, it will feel contrived.

Based on his past resentment and forbearance towards the two of them, this kind of silence is more convincing—after being treated with tenderness these past few months, he fell in love with each other for a long time, and even personally made soup for Pei Muli, who was licking his wounds alone. .But because of Pei's previous cruelty and violence, he can only do so at present.

Very good, isn't it.

Du's Penthouse

Holding the wine glass, Du Yan looked in the direction of the villa expressionlessly.

Hearing the miraculous news from the secretary just after the meeting, his first thought was that it was impossible. Xia Tong thought he was hiding it well, but in fact his emotions were seen by others.

Tolerant, angry, disgusted, painful.Although the later the stage, the less emotion he showed.

Because I can see it, I know that he hates me and Pei, but I can't resist it, I can't resist it, so I bear it.

There can only be two reasons why such a Xia Tong took the initiative to show affection to Pei Muli on the most painful day.One is that there is a purpose, so I want to please Pei; the other is...

"Snapped."

The sound of glass shattering dissipated the grimness on Du Yan's face. Throwing away the crushed wine glass in his hand, Du Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe the liquid that flowed onto his hands.The slight tingling in the palm of his hand made his eyes faintly red.

Unforgivable.

No matter whether he is asking for something, or thinking about Pei, it is unforgivable!
