Sole decision

No one knows why this humid coastal city suddenly caught fire. Some say it was a natural disaster, while others say it was a man-made disaster.The incident happened suddenly, and everyone's attention was directly shifted to Zhou Ce, but no one dared to say it clearly, and Zhou Ce himself kept silent.

If it is said that the struggle between family forces in the past was more about checks and balances and restraints, now that a corner has collapsed, everyone feels the imbalance. In the imbalance, everyone also vaguely knows that Zhou Ce will become the fulcrum.

For a while, Zhou's family was busy, and most of them used his engagement with Lu Ai as the reason for visiting. The trend of the times, people's choice is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.A dead person no longer exists, so there is no need to argue about why.

Things happened one after another, and Zhou Ce didn't want to do anything else in a short time. All he had in front of him was the engagement ceremony with Lu Ai, and then the wedding.The engagement is at home, and the arrangements are simpler. As for the wedding, Lu Ai said that he wanted to hold it by the sea, and Zhou Ce really closed a part of the coastline in advance for preliminary preparations.

Both of them knew that it was just a cutscene, but the cutscene should be luxurious and grand, and everyone who came here should praise "the couple of gods and immortals".

Zhou Ce asked Pei Zhaoxue to order roses for his wedding. When Pei Zhaoxue came back, he gave Zhou Ce a signing slip without saying a word.Zhou Ce stopped him and asked, "Did you order the red one?"

Pei Zhaoxue asked back, "Don't you need red roses for marriage?"

"I want white."

Zhou Ce didn't specify the color at the time, so Pei Zhaoxue took it for granted that it was red.He didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Ce on this matter, so he took the signed slip and prepared to go back and exchange it.As soon as his hand reached out to the table, Zhou Ce pressed it down. He subconsciously wanted to withdraw it, but Zhou Ce pressed it even harder.

Pei Zhaoxue frowned and looked at Zhou Ce. Zhou Ce smiled and said, "You wanted to kill me when I asked you a few more words, why are you making things difficult for you now? You don't even have a temper?"

Pei Zhaoxue didn't speak, and Zhou Ce also felt bored.Ever since Zhou Ang's death was discovered by Pei Zhaoxue, the two have entered into a strangely balanced relationship.He thought that according to Pei Zhaoxue's angry appearance at the time, there might be some kind of revenge against him in the future.

But Pei Zhaoxue didn't. He seemed to only have such a brief moment of emotion, and then he returned to normal, but he had less communication with Zhou Ce in daily life.

Zhou Ce thought to himself, Pei Zhaoxue was hiding from him, so it's not surprising.Maybe he already hated himself to death in his heart, but he couldn't attack because of the promise.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ce felt depressed again, so he asked Pei Zhaoxue, "Lu Ai and I are getting engaged, and the marriage is on the agenda. Are you happy?"

Pei Zhaoxue glanced at Zhou Ce, and just said, "Let go of your hands."

"Okay, from now on, I will obey you." Zhou Ce let go of his hand as expected.He took out a white envelope from the drawer and handed it to Pei Zhaoxue, with Pei Zhaoxue's name written by Zhou Ce himself on it. "This is my engagement invitation, and I will hand it to you." He said, "Axue, I hope to have you in every node of my life from now on."

He looked at Pei Zhaoxue with a very serious expression when he spoke, and there were infinite emotions in his eyes, as if he actually had a lot to say to Pei Zhaoxue, but when he met Pei Zhaoxue, he couldn't say anything.Pei Zhaoxue didn't accept his invitation, so he kept extending his hand, as if the two were confronting each other.

"Aren't you willing to come?" Zhou Ce sighed a little disappointed, "It seems that you still hate me."

It was difficult for Pei Zhaoxue to answer Zhou Ce's question. Does he hate Zhou Ce?In fact, he didn't know either.After learning the news of Zhou Ang's disappearance, he already had a faint bad feeling. At that time, there was a subconscious mind in his brain, and that consciousness kept hinting to him that maybe it was really just someone who disappeared, maybe it wasn't Zhou Ce.Because Zhou Ce promised him well, Zhou Ce has no reason to joke about this kind of thing with him.

When the truth was revealed, on the one hand, he was saddened by the news of Zhou Ang's death, but the person his father saved died when he came to him.On the other hand, he seemed even more sad that Zhou Ce had lied to himself after all.

If it is said that two people fight each other, he has deceived Zhou Ce, but he has a last resort reason, he explained it to Zhou Ce, and his ultimate goal is also for Zhou Ce's good.What about Zhou Ce?To him, the life and death of others is just a fluffy word, and promises are not that important.

Just because Pei Zhaoxue promised him that he would always be loyal to him and always be by his side, he could do whatever he wanted.

Not even making up a reason.

Pei Zhaoxue felt very sad, it turned out that he was only a mere ear to Zhou Ce, and he was not even worth deceiving, because Zhou Ce finally told himself everything clearly.

Pei Zhaoxue often felt that there was a big stone on his heart, and whenever he saw Zhou Ce, the weight of that stone would increase, and every midnight he dreamed of, the weight of that stone made him unable to breathe.He admitted that Zhou Ce treated him very well, even more so than Zhou Xiangyun. The kind of care and consideration was completely different, something he had never experienced before.It seems that Zhou Ce can always accurately grasp his preferences and understand what he desires in his heart.

Zhou Xiangyun seems to be a kind of compensation for him, and there is always something in between.The other brothers of the Zhou family were polite and friendly with him. Although he grew up together, he could only watch the fight between them. He said that they were like brothers, but he knew in his heart that he was an outsider.

Because he knows where he is, he does his best.

Without Zhou Xiangyun's plan, Pei Zhaoxue felt that it would be nothing to live like this, and "Zhou Ce" would only become a name in his memory, an innocuous name.

Not to remind him of the nasty jokes he made as a kid, not to hang a silver necklace around his neck, not to tell him to avenge him.

Nor will there be a single snowfall.

It turned out that he was missing so much.

Some things, if you haven't owned it, you won't care.Owning it, even if it is fleeting, is enough to affect a lifetime.

For a few moments, Pei Zhaoxue really thought that if she died for Zhou Ce one day, she wouldn't have any complaints.

But he thought things too simply. It turned out that Zhou Ce didn't want his "scholar to die for his confidant", Zhou Ce had ulterior motives.

Or maybe he was just someone Zhou Ce could play with, and he could only blame Pei Zhaoxue for his own wishful thinking to end up like this.

Pei Zhaoxue had never been afraid of death, but facing Zhou Ce's approach, he felt fear for the first time.He didn't want to answer Zhou Ce's various questions, he just wanted to find a place to hide.Even Zhou Ce's approach gave him an evasive posture, not a counterattack as before.

How did he fight back against Zhou Ce?He has an oath to Zhou Ce.

Pei Zhaoxue fell into entanglement and anxiety. He was afraid that Zhou Ce would bring up the old story again, and he was also afraid that he would fall into a swamp. He had never experienced such mood swings, and the only thought that popped up was "leave".
