Sole decision

Zhou Ce asked Pei Zhaoxue angrily why she wanted to grow her hair.

That time of anger was because he pulled Pei Zhaoxue's hair out of the naughtiness and curiosity of a little boy after finishing the afternoon fighting class.Pei Zhaoxue's tall ponytail was pulled loose, and Zhou Ce was still holding his criminal evidence - a few strands of hair.But he didn't want to escape the crime, and he was still showing off with a smirk, so Pei Zhaoxue beat him up.

The boys were at the most innocent and shameless age, and the fights were difficult to end. In the end, Zhou Xiangyun seriously warned them to live in peace among brothers, and made them stand in the courtyard before dinner.

Then Zhou Ce asked Pei Zhaoxue this question.He had many reasons, such as it was inconvenient to fight with long hair, and he would be treated as a girl, which seemed strange... Pei Zhaoxue interrupted him in the middle, telling him that his mother was gone not long after he was born, and he had nothing else to do. His relatives, since he was a child, his father took care of him and cut his hair. Before, his father had no time to take care of him, and now his father is gone.

Zhou Ce is not very old, but he seems to be aware that this is a somewhat sensitive topic.He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be without his parents, but he knew that it would be a very sad thing if one day they could no longer take their brothers and themselves to go fishing.

So he didn't continue, but said with some comfort: "From now on, I think you look good with long hair. You are the only man in Lucheng who can have long hair."

His voice was immature and loud like an adult, Pei Zhaoxue didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was immersed in his own emotion.Especially when his mother passed away, he recalled the conversation he had with Pei Zhaoxue back then, and he was glad that he hadn't diverted the topic to a worse direction, because the feeling of losing a loved one was very painful, and he felt it.

That day he wanted to seduce Pei Zhaoxue to escape punishment with him, but no one was watching them anyway, so he sat down secretly.Pei Zhaoxue was still standing there straight, and Zhou Ce told Pei Zhaoxue swearingly that her father actually loved them, and it was okay to be lazy, and no one would know if the two of them didn't tell each other.

Pei Zhaoxue pointed upwards, telling him to be honest, God knows everything.

Zhou Ce didn't take it seriously, he didn't say anything, but a simple desire suddenly sprouted in his heart, wanting to force Pei Zhaoxue to believe that there are no such empty gods in this world, even if Pei Zhaoxue resisted.

Later, he received education, became polite and cultivated, respected the beliefs and preferences of others, and even got a degree in philosophy.The estrangement from Pei Zhaoxue made childhood things blurred, and when they met again, they became polite. No one would care about the stories of their childhood, it was just childish jokes.

Zhou Ce opened his eyes to look at the ceiling, and those images stopped playing.He shifted his gaze slightly, and saw Pei Zhaoxue sitting beside him.Zhou Ce suddenly felt that his past behaviors were really bad, and it was normal to be annoying. No wonder Pei Zhaoxue always ignored him.

Pei Zhaoxue hugged her shoulders with both hands, folded one leg on top of the other in a regular manner, lowered her head, and closed her eyes tightly.One side of the hair is pinned behind the ear and the other side hangs down.

He fell asleep in a very restrained posture. Zhou Ce just "coughed", and he opened his eyes in surprise. His eyes met Zhou Ce's eyes, and he moved away after blinking. He said he was going to see a doctor.Zhou Ce stopped Pei Zhaoxue, he felt that he was in good condition now, and he didn't want to be so noisy when he opened his eyes.

Pei Zhaoxue sat quietly in one position. At first the two of them didn't speak. Zhou Ce stared at the ceiling in a daze, and then slowly opened his mouth. The first sentence turned out to be to ask Pei Zhaoxue if he had killed anyone.

Pei Zhaoxue didn't say anything, but Zhou Ce knew about it, and said, "I always thought that murder would cause a disturbed conscience and nightmares at night. But I didn't feel anything, and I even dreamed about playing with you when I was a child."

"Don't think too much." Pei Zhaoxue said, "Cultivate with peace of mind."

Zhou Ce said, "Maybe it would be better if I listen to them and leave Lucheng?"

Pei Zhaoxue said, "The choice is yours."

Zhou Ce looked at the ceiling for a while, and smiled inexplicably, his movements were very light.

"Actually..." Pei Zhaoxue said vaguely, "They also care about you."

Zhou Ce said: "I know, my dad is the same. But, are those what I want?" When he asked this question, he didn't know whether he was asking Pei Zhaoxue or himself.

Pei Zhaoxue asked: "Then what do you want?"

Zhou Ce shook his head first, and after a while he said silently: "I want Pearl Manor, my father promised to give it to me."

"Now it's time to call a doctor." Pei Zhaoxue's caring time was over. He wanted to stand up, but after sitting in one position for so long, his body had become paralyzed and he lost his proper mobility.He couldn't stand still and fell on the bed.Fortunately, Zhou Ce's injured upper body was not crushed, but his thigh.

His palm touched a raised part, and the heart rate monitor gave an abnormal prompt.Pei Zhaoxue got up in a hurry, the blood in his whole body hadn't flowed through, and even a small step was painful like a needle prick.

"Brother Pei." Zhou Ce's heart rate was beating, but his face looked as if nothing had happened, and he kindly reminded Pei Zhaoxue, "You're going well."

Pei Zhaoxue's face turned red all of a sudden, she wanted to have a seizure but didn't have the conditions to do so.Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time to ease the high concentration atmosphere in the room, Pei Zhaoxue's numbness also weakened, and she left the ward quickly.

The doctor gave Zhou Ce a comprehensive examination. He was turned over and over like a tool man, and his mind was full of the blushing Pei Zhaoxue.He has almost never seen Pei Zhaoxue so embarrassed. To him, Pei Zhaoxue is a figure floating in the clouds. Until just now, she has only gained a little popularity.

The hospital was heavily guarded. Zhou Jian and Zhou Ling visited Zhou Ce twice, but the person who came the most was Zhou Ang, and he was the only one who came with a relaxed expression, and only chatted with Zhou Ce about unhealthy jokes.Like Zhou Ce, he is a person outside the Zhou family's core group. Even if it is a family meeting, he just listens to it and can't say anything.

However, he does not have Zhou Ce's stubborn temper, nor does he have the courage and determination to leave the family, so even if he is ignored by others and has no real power, he will stay in Lucheng safely and take care of the Zhou family's money-making but innocuous family members. Business, playing cards and chatting about women, so happy.

Pei Zhaoxue was there every day, but he showed up mostly in the evening and stayed with Zhou Ce until he went to bed.Zhou Ce only asked him about outside affairs, but Pei Zhaoxue always frowned and didn't answer him directly.This caused Zhou Ce's doubts to get deeper and deeper, and he also had a great dislike for Pei Zhaoxue's attitude, and he ignored him for several days.

Pei Zhaoxue had already noticed the change in Zhou Ce, not because he ignored her, but before that, when Pei Zhaoxue came to the ward several times at night, she found that the light in the room was not turned on, and Zhou Ce was sitting on the bed, looking down at the phone I don't know what to fiddle with.The only faint beam of cold light on his expressionless face turned out to be a bit serious and creepy.

With the disappearance of the light source, he gradually merged with the darkness, and a sense of loneliness emerged spontaneously.But that kind of loneliness is not to be pitied, but daunting.Pei Zhaoxue had never seen this kind of temperament in Zhou Jian or Zhou Ling, and even Zhou Xiangyun was different from him.

In the dark he looked dangerous and irresistible.

Pei Zhaoxue turned on the light, and Zhou Ce gave him a cold look. Pei Zhaoxue asked Zhou Ce what he was doing, but Zhou Ce asked Pei Zhaoxue to go out.

That tone was more reasonable than when Zhou Xiangyun gave orders to him.
