Anyone who is ignored like this will not feel good, let alone Pei Ruoyan's temper exploded, "Why can't I be here?"

The tone was so provocative that Qi Chen almost choked without taking a bite of his meal. Why didn't he do anything this time, the two of them still got up just like in the original plot.

"I invited him to dinner." Qi Chen rushed to speak before Gu Mingye, and put out the fire for the two of them urgently, "Lao Xia left homework this morning and said he has to hand it in. Have you finished it?"

For high school students who are busy with schoolwork, their studies are almost overwhelming.Gu Mingye is an art student, and he is half a scumbag when it comes to culture alone.Pei Ruoyan was a little better than him, but he didn't quite adapt to the teaching environment just after returning to China.

Both of them misfired.

Gu Mingye was quiet for a while, "Ah Chen, I don't know how to write a few questions, so go back and tell me."

Qi Chen: "Which one of you can't."

Gu Mingye blinked his eyes, his expression was very innocent, "I don't know much about it."

Qi Chen: "..."

"I'm done." Pei Ruoyan suddenly got up, and strode away with the tableware.

Qi Chen looked at his back, then at Gu Mingye beside him who was happy again, and helped his forehead helplessly.Maybe it was because he had just arrived at Yuanjia, and there was still some distance away from Huanxi, so Qi Chen reluctantly comforted himself, and quickly finished his meal and went back to do his homework.

Due to asking for leave yesterday, Qi Chen missed a day of homework and had to make it up today.He took some time to help Gu Mingye sort out his thoughts, then sent him back to write his own.

It was already the second half of the lunch break after finishing writing, Qi Chen couldn't bear the drowsiness, and planned to squat on his stomach for a while.

The result is to dream again.

Coincidentally, what he dreamed of was still the scene before his death.

He stood face to face with Xie Lian on the top of the mountain, the vegetation around him was very strange, it didn't look like he was in China.Xie Lian put his hand on his right shoulder, and whispered something into his ear with a smile. It was an extremely intimate gesture, but he slowly exerted force on his hand, pushing him down from the mountain...

The suffocation and dizziness caused by weightlessness suddenly hit, Qi Chen suddenly woke up, his heart was beating, and he opened his eyes to see a magnified face

It's Gu Mingye.

At some point, the other party moved a chair and sat next to him, looking down at him, his eyelashes flickering in the sunlight, and softly called his name in an affectionate tone, "Ah Chen."

For a while, Qi Chen couldn't tell the reality of the dream clearly, only felt that people seemed to have double images.He opened some distance by sitting upright, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come to the back?"

"It's lunch break." Gu Mingye didn't care, "Everyone fell asleep."

Indeed, the weather is good today, with large areas of sunlight pouring in through the glass windows.Most of the rest of the class fell asleep, and a few who didn't sleep were also yawning and sleepy.

Qi Chen noticed that Pei Ruoyan's seat was also empty, and he didn't know where he went.

"Ah Chen." Gu Mingye took out a few coupons from somewhere and spread them out in front of him, "I just heard from the class next door that there is a new cake shop opened near Ximen Back Street, let's go together tonight."

Even though he is a boy, Gu Mingye is particularly fond of sweets.Not only near the students, but almost the whole city's dessert shops, he knows the dynamics, and he has often pulled Qi Chen to check in in the past.

What makes girls envious and jealous is that this kid is not fat yet.

"Not today." Qi Chen said, "I have something to do tonight."

Gu Mingye said "ah" softly, a little disappointed with the naked eye, "Then how about later, they don't close until nine o'clock."

"Really not." Qi Chen said, "My dad said he would pick me up after school."

"Okay." Gu Mingye reluctantly put away the coupon, "Then wait until next time."

Qi Chen thought it might not be the next time, so he hesitated for a while and chose not to continue to attack him at this time, so he changed the subject and said, "Don't always come to me in the back."

Gu Mingye: "Why?"

"It's not good for your new tablemate." Qi Chen said.

"But I want to talk to you." Gu Mingye muttered in a low voice, "It's none of my business what other people think."

Qi Chen: "...are you listening?"

"Okay, I'll just listen." Gu Mingye gave him a resentful look, got up and returned to his seat.

Coincidentally, when Pei Ruoyan came back from the outside, Gu Mingye simply put the coupons in his hand on his desk, "Here, I'll see you off."

"What is this?" Pei Ruoyan asked with a frown.

"Coupon." Gu Mingye lowered his head and took out his phone, his tone was perfunctory, "The cake shop near Ximen offers a [-]% discount, only for today."

"No." Pei Ruoyan pushed the coupon back onto his desk, "I have something to do tonight."

Love or not.

Gu Mingye was about to put away the coupons when he suddenly paused.Qi Chen said that he had something to do at night, and Pei Ruoyan also said that he had something to do at night.Although the connection between the two is a bit far-fetched, but thinking of the two people sitting together for dinner at noon...

A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "What are you doing at night?"

Pei Ruoyan didn't raise his head, and his tone was more perfunctory than before, "It's none of your business."

Gu Mingye: "..."

I really want to beat him up.

The two classes in the afternoon are two consecutive classes. In the last 10 minutes, the teacher stopped the lecture for self-study.Qi Chen was doing his homework when his phone vibrated suddenly.

He took it out under cover, and saw that it was a friend request, and the verification message was a clean line - I'm Pei Ruoyan.

Dare to play with the mobile phone in class, Qi Chen cursed, clicked to pass, and sent a question mark in the past.

Pei Ruoyan quickly responded, sending a location statement, followed by a short line, "Gather here after school."

Gather... I'm still gathering underground agents.

Qi Chen was speechless, and typed to reply: "My dad said in the morning that he would pick us up after school, are you sure?"

Pei Ruoyan: "..."

After waiting for a while without replying, Qi Chen put down his phone and continued to do his homework.

After the school bell rang, the other students couldn't wait to pack their schoolbags and leave. Only the two of them tacitly slowed down and dragged to the last wave to leave the classroom.

Although there was no one in the corridor, Pei Ruoyan lowered his voice, "Is your dad really coming?"

Qi Chen said, "What did I lie to you for?"

Although Pei Ruoyan didn't say anything, Qi Chen could probably guess what the other party was worried about, it was just that he didn't want others to know about their embarrassing relationship.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Qi Chen said, "Gu Mingye and I used to be together every day, and no one thought much about it."

Pei Ruoyan pursed her lips, "That's because you guys are nothing to begin with, so you are open-minded."

Qi Chen: "..."

"Forget it." Pei Ruoyan lifted the strap of his schoolbag up, his tone seemed resigned, "Anyway, it will be a matter of time."

The two went downstairs in silence and were about to go to the gate.Qi Chen's cell phone vibrated suddenly, he picked it up and saw that it was the driver Xiao Fang calling.

"Uncle Fang." Qi Chen picked it up.

"Xiaochen." The opposite said: "I've been waiting at the south gate for a while, haven't you finished class yet?"

Qi Chen was a little surprised that it wasn't Qi's father who came to pick him up, but considering the other party's busy work, he thought it was expected.

"We just went downstairs." Qi Chen glanced at Pei Ruoyan next to him from the corner of his eyes, and thought, "The teaching building is closer to the west gate, Uncle Fang, or you can drive your car here."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Chen led Pei Ruoyan to walk towards the west gate. The latter gradually noticed that the crowds around him had decreased, and his tense body relaxed somewhat, "Why is no one walking this way."

"The traffic is not good." Qi Chen said, "It's far from the main road, and there are no buses or anything."

The two bypassed the teaching building and turned the corner. Qi Chen was caught off guard and remembered what happened to Xie Lian here yesterday, and braked like a conditioned reflex.

Pei Ruoyan didn't understand why, so he stopped for a while. "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Qi Chen touched his nose, feeling that he might be a little nervous.

The two came out of the alley, and soon found the driver's car parked on the side of the road.Qi Chen opened the back seat door, looked at Pei Ruoyan behind him, "Do you want to sit in the front or the back?"

Pei Ruoyan asked back, "Where are you sitting?"

Qi Chen said: "I'm used to sitting in the back, you can sit with me alone, or you can sit in the front."

Pei Ruoyan: "...let's go with you."

The two sat in one after the other, closed the car door, and quickly left along the road.The door of the dessert shop diagonally across the street was pushed open, bringing out the crisp sound of wind chimes.

The place where Pei's family temporarily lived was not far from the school. Mother Pei received a call and went downstairs to wait at the door ahead of time. She led them upstairs while smiling apologetically at Qi Chen, "I'm sorry to take up your time after school."

Qi Chen shook his head, "It's okay, the schoolwork is not heavy at the beginning of school."

In fact, Pei Ruoyan's mother and son have just returned from abroad for a few months, and they don't have many things, and some things have already been packed.Asking Qi Chen to help with the move is actually just a chance to get along deliberately arranged by Qi's father.

After pretending to move a few boxes, the room was empty.

On the return trip, Xiaofang was still driving, and Mother Pei was sitting in the passenger seat, with a few things stuffed in the back seat, so Qi Chen and Pei Ruoyan had to sit closer, with less than a fistful of distance left between them.

Unavoidably, the awkward chat was even more embarrassing at the end, Qi Chen simply took out his mobile phone to play a game, the car stopped in the middle and waited for the traffic light, Qi Chen looked out the window, trying to figure out how long it would take to get there, but Pei Ruoyan seemed to be caught by him, hurriedly Turn the phone over.

It wasn't intentional, Qi Chen accidentally saw Pei Ruoyan's phone screen, which was a money transfer interface.

During the second half of the journey, Pei Ruoyan didn't turn off the phone again.Back at Qi's house, Qi's father, who had finished his work, finally got away.

The Qi family's villa has three floors, the first floor is the living room and various exhibition halls, the second floor is the study and guest rooms, and the third floor is the bedroom, separated by a small garden in the middle.Qi Chen lives on the left, Qi's father lives on the right, and there are stairs on both sides.

Pei Ruoyan was arranged to live in the bedroom next to Qi Chen, which originally had a lot of Qi Chen's things piled up.The two moved one in and the other out, like two busy hamsters.

After the packing was almost done, Pei Ruoyan went out to answer the phone, Qi Chen stayed in the room to pack the sundries in the box, and accidentally bumped into the table where Pei Ruoyan put his school uniform coat.

A piece of paper fell out of the opened zipper and slowly floated on the ground.

Qi Chen bent down to pick it up, and saw that it was a ticket for a Saturday departure to City B, on which only the departure time, the city to and from, and the contact number were printed.

It's not so much a ticket, it's better to say it's some kind of privately printed voucher.

Reminiscent of the transfer limit that he accidentally spotted on Pei Ruoyan's phone before, Qi Chen frowned slightly, took out his phone and searched the phone number on the ticket on the local forum.

The screen jumps, and several posts pop up soon.Qi Chen clicked a few times to check, and confirmed that this is the phone number of a black car.

What does Pei Ruoyan hire a black car for?

The distance from city S to city B is not far, two hours by plane and double by train.But if it is replaced by a private car or bus, it will cost almost half a day in it, which is very uneconomical.

Unless conditions do not allow it, few people would choose to take a bus now, let alone an illegal black car.

Moreover, Pei Ruoyan is not like a person who is short of money. Judging from his daily clothes and shoes, this person's quality of life is not low. Wherever he wants to go on weekends, Mother Pei will not refuse him.

Unless he wanted to hide it from Pei's mother, after all, private cars don't need ID verification, and the itinerary can't be found on the Internet.Qi Chen moved his fingertips, swipe the words of City B back and forth a few times, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

Didn't Pei Ruoyan want to go to City B to meet Xie Lian?
