straight to heaven

Lao Hu has a family and does not need outsiders to accompany him at night.

The elevator was very slow, the aisle was blocked by swarms of people, and Lao Hu was not in good condition, and I couldn't help but say some nasty things that were half true and half false.Fortunately, the floor of the operating room is low, and it is convenient to walk up the stairs.

Surprisingly, Pei Yanlai followed.It took more than a minute to go down to the fifth floor, and he was always behind me during this time.

He didn't say a word, but the sound of footsteps in the corridor was the same.He walks fast, I have followed him for a long time, some things are memorized by muscle, and even the pace has become suitable.Embarrassed and a little embarrassing, I tried to break this weird synchronization several times, but it seemed that an automatic calibration device was installed, and it would reset again within two seconds of being out of order.

One and a half minutes to say whether it is long or not.There is an open-air parking lot outside the door. Li Xiaoxiao hasn't left yet. She is tall and tall. I looked up and saw her.

"Lin, brother Lin Ling!"

Standing behind Li Xiaoxiao is Xiaomi.When he saw me, he jumped up and waved a few times, but the smile on his face quickly disappeared: "...Pei, lawyer Pei, hello Pei Lu."

Li Xiaoxiao raised his brows distinctly, then lowered them in an instant: "Xiaoshan, Pei Lu."

"Why haven't you left yet?" Pei Yanlai asked with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao sighed: "Don't mention it. I sat stiff for a whole day, and my cervical spondylosis happened again, and I couldn't hold the steering wheel at all. I originally planned to let Xiaomi be the driver, but it turned out..."

"..." She didn't say anything and I understood: "He doesn't have a driver's license, so you've found the right person."

Xiaomi blushed: "I'm sorry!"

I'm helpful: "I'll send you off."

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled ambiguously, and I suddenly felt bad.

"Wait." She pushed her hair behind her ears: "It's already this time, and everyone hasn't had dinner yet, right? Or, together?"

Grass.

I kept my mouth shut.After all, whether I nod or not doesn't mean much, what matters is how Pei Yanlai reacts.

There was no chill.I looked at Pei Yanlai, but he nodded without much hesitation: "Yes, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you tonight."

Xiaomi's face froze, terrified; I lost control of my expression, also terrified.Only Li Xiaoxiao smiled.Shocked, I rang the alarm bells, and I even began to suspect that Pei Yanlai liked Li Xiaoxiao's.

— pure nonsense.

Three kilometers away from the hospital is Xinhu Bintiandi, where several rows of Internet celebrity restaurants have opened.I drove Xiaomi and Li Xiaoxiao, and Pei Yan came to drive his own car. There was a bit of a traffic jam at this time, and we met at the entrance of a seafood buffet after more than ten minutes.

The price of the cafeteria is nearly [-] yuan per customer, which is not cheap.

Compared with shrimp, crab, shellfish and oyster seafood, this restaurant is most famous for its own ice cream.I wandered to the freezer, and Li Xiaoxiao was holding a cardboard box in one hand, struggling to fight with the pistachio cream flavored ice cream.This flavor was so popular that it was scraped to the bottom and frozen solid.

I wanted to say I'm coming, but I just stretched out my hand, but I didn't expect Pei Yan to take over.

"need my help?"

Li Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and rushed down with brute force. As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his body and shoveled down an irregular piece of green ice cream.

I know that I don't care about people and places when I get jealous, and I want to control it, but I still don't control my mouth.

"Pei Lu," I pretended to point to the bottomless chocolate smell: "This one is also difficult, or can you help me?"

I regret it when I say it.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at me like a ghost, I ground my teeth and curled up my fingers awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yanlai actually used an ice cream scoop to scoop out the balls—I was stunned when the black lump fell into the paper box in my hand.

When Pei Yanlai returned to his seat first, Li Xiaoxiao approached with a grim face: "Damn it, Lin Xiaoshan, today I can see the essence through the phenomenon."

"……what?"

"Scheming little gays." Li smiled and said, "I didn't even know you could do such a deadly move like acting like a baby with a blank face."

behave in a spoiled manner?ultimate move?

I was dumbfounded, and sneered: "I have time to see the brain department this weekend."

Thanks to Pei Yanlai's amiable appearance, the meal was amicable and beautiful.Xiaomi even kowtowed with his fingers while the deity was going to pay the bill, and whispered, Lawyer Pei is so nice, I used to think he was scary because I was blind.

The corner of my mouth twitched, thinking that he should go to register with Li Xiaoxiao.

When it's time to break up, most of them go back to their homes at this time.In the parking lot, Xiaomi consciously opened the back door of Li Xiaoxiao's smart.Pei Yanlai asked at the right time if he needed a delivery, and Xiaomi shook her head like a rattle, saying repeatedly that he was home and Xiaoxiao was on the way.

Not surprisingly, Pei Yanlai didn't force it.

But I was about to get into the driver's seat when he suddenly stopped me.

"Assistant Lin."

Pei Yanlai looked at the phone, the light from the screen hit her face, making her look a little weirdly handsome.

I stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have a private schedule next weekend," he smiled. "Please push me away from work."

I remembered the schedule, and hesitated to say something: "On Saturday afternoon, I have a meeting with the vice president of Weixin."

He repeated patiently: "Cancel all."

"...Okay." This is the first time he has asked for a weekend in the months since he returned to China.

What is it that makes Pei Yanlai pay so much attention to it?

I can't guess, and I can't figure it out.So he fell on the bed after taking a shower, and began to wonder why he was so abnormal today.

Although Pei Yanlai is indeed the darling of Diamond, but Lao Hu has no enmity with him, and the news of his critical illness will not make him so happy.

After thinking about it, I suspiciously locked on the truth that came out of my mouth.

——"If it's you lying there, I don't really want to live."

The love of Taoyuan who lives on different days but dies on the same day...Pei Yanlai can't just eat this way, can he?

Kind of outrageous.

There was no chance for me to think deeply, and the phone under my waist buzzed.I received a strange email in my work mailbox.

I didn't make a note about the sender's account number, click on it, it's an invitation letter.

The specifications are very formal, specifying the name and surname "Mr. Lin Xiaoshan", followed by a row of English XiaoshanLin.It is said that there is a night fishing activity in the offshore on weekends, two days and one night, catering and fishing tackle are provided on board, and he is responsible for the transportation.There were not many invites, and we look forward to hearing back.

The signature is Liang Xin.

It is not uncommon for a young actor with great powers and an overseas old money lover to easily get my email account.But I only met the two of you once, and I was invited to a small party, which is incredible.

In addition to being flattered, I was so blessed to think of Pei Yanlai.

I am his assistant, he has no job, I can also be free, this is one aspect.On the other hand...on the weekend, two days and one night, Liang Xin and Yu Xingye, would there be such a coincidence?

Betting on dogs is my essence, the email was quickly edited, and I replied with a racing heart, "It's an honor."

I don't know if it's a good thing, Lao Hu woke up early the next morning, but his high fever persisted, and he soon fell into a coma. He was sent to the ICU at noon, and the situation repeated.Although I was not allowed to visit patients in the ward, I still went to the hospital once.Hu Chunman's face was haggard. Her husband was a very particular person, and he was too busy to shave in time.

It was not until Thursday night that Lao Hu's condition showed signs of improvement. He was finally transferred from the ICU to the general ward in the early morning of the next day, but it was said that he closed his eyes more than when he was awake.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. On Saturday morning, I got into the car parked in front of my house on time.

The driver was silent all the way, I squinted in the back seat for a while, and it was eleven o'clock at noon when we arrived at the port.

Opening the car door, the salty sea breeze poured into my nostrils, and the hem of my clothes was rattling in the wind.

"Have a nice weekend," the driver said before leaving.

A senior fishing boat was parked on the shore with its bow standing.

I'm almost running to my destination.

The closer they got, the clearer Pei Yanlai's figure could be discerned.Suits and leather shoes are the norm in law firms, and I haven't seen him wearing private clothes for a long time.In early spring, the seaside temperature is not too high.The gray-black jacket was zippered open, revealing a thin turtleneck sweater of the same color underneath. He was propping up the fence, and the broken hair on his forehead was messed up by the sea breeze.

It's like fucking time travel, I almost can't tell what night it is.

Liang Xin and Yu Xingye were already standing at the bow of the boat, with fishing rods beside them, talking to someone like the captain.Seeing me coming, Liang Xin raised her hand and said, "Welcome."

I nodded, as a greeting.

The movement alarmed Pei Yanlai, who turned his face and cast his gaze.I walked up to him, clumsily and dryly: "Pei Lu."

He didn't seem surprised by my presence—at least from his face, I couldn't see any extra emotion.

Pei Yanlai put her hands in her pockets, and her eyes fell on the sea again.On a sunny day, the sea is blue and white, and the water near the shore is clear. Hermit crabs and small whitebait come and go.

"It's hard to have a weekend," he asked, "Why don't you go to see your doctor?"

Unexpected response.

Fainted by color, I will return to my senses and almost blurt out: "I want to see..." you.

To see you of course.

What happens when you say it?He can never drive me away.Like a greedy dog ​​seeing meat, I even thought so arrogantly for a moment.

Can't.Calm down, Lin Xiaoshan, he can do it.

Pei Yanlai's eyes were light in color, and when he was not smiling, his indifference seemed to have substance.He looked at me, and I immediately lowered my head to avoid seeing him, and changed my words cowardly.

"...I want to see the sea. I haven't seen it before. Besides, Lao Hu's condition is temporarily stable. His family is all there, so I can't help you much."

A sparrow fluttered down on the chain-link fence, bumping into it in a dusty manner. Pei Yanlai stretched out his hand softly, but waved it mercilessly. The bird was startled, and ran away with a chirp.

"That's it," he said.

I was still guilty, and I was afraid that I would show my feet somewhere again, but he was fine, and there was no more words in the tone.

While breathing a sigh of relief, I also feel unfair, but feelings are not such a thing. If I must put my heart on the scale and weigh it, I may usher in the only overwhelming victory in my life in the confrontation with Pei Yanlai.

Nothing to be proud of, but more than enough to be sad.

A sharp whistle sounded from the bow.

I looked up, it was Liang Xin.The film king was born in martial arts, and the mineral water bottle in his hand was like a clown's prop in a circus. It spun in the air for two and a half weeks, and then fell back firmly into the palm of his hand.

"There are still things to prepare on board, you wait a little longer. Then."

When it comes to whether it’s close or not, and whether it’s far or not, I subconsciously open my arms—three points.

"Thanks."

As soon as the words were finished, another disposable plastic cup flew over. I groaned, but I didn't have time to reach out to take it.But the cup didn't hit the ground, Pei Yanlai grabbed it.

He threw it into my arms.

There were four cups in a stack, I unknowingly took them apart, first poured half a cup of water, and wanted to pass it to Pei Yanlai.

But before he could hand it out, he said, like a prophet, "No, I'm not thirsty."

"..." If you want to scold him for being narcissistic, you can't say it out loud, after all, you didn't wrong me.

The cup was held by my side, and I suddenly remembered something, and blurted out, "Four cups. How many people came here?"

"Two plus four," Pei Yanlai seemed a little speechless: "...you do the math."

Two plus four equals six, six, I can still do this mental calculation: "Then there are two..."

There was a sudden chill in my ears, and I stopped abruptly after speaking half a sentence.

There was an exclamation in the distance, and it reached me very clearly at this moment.

"Hey—babe, where is my thread? I'm so stupid, why didn't I throw it out, where did it hang? Help me see..."

"Shit! Gavin! Let go! Stop fucking pulling!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Let me see...Damn it!"

I didn't realize what happened yet, and just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly felt a stretching pain behind my left earlobe.

The water in the glass suddenly turned red, and soon blurred into a shape like a cigarette, like red ink leaking from a pen.

When I touched it with my right hand, a viscous, warm liquid remained on the fingertips.

--is blood.

"pat".

There was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in the distance, followed by the sound of panicked footsteps.

"Pei Yan is here, I..." I panicked a little.

"do not move."

Pei Yanlai suddenly clamped my jaw with one hand.

His demeanor was calm and calm, and I strangely gained a kind of stability.

I said yes, and then Pei Yanlai's fingers touched my earlobe.Fighting and shooting aerobic and anaerobic all the year round, his fingertips were rough, and he brushed over the painful area, as if he was trying to remove something hooked into the flesh.

It hurt a bit, but when I thought that it was Pei Yanlai who gave me the pain, a tingling like wildfire suddenly rose from my tailbone.

Hell, I feel it.

The process is very short, but it is extremely long for me.

What Pei Yanlai took out was actually a fishhook. After pulling it twice, he found that there was still a long fishing line attached to it.

... I was fished on land, and what could be more outrageous than that.

Behind him, footsteps and shouts came from far to near.

I laughed at myself blankly: "How do you say? A good start, a good omen... Grass!"

My earlobe hurt suddenly, and I couldn't hold back my curse—Pei Yanlai quietly pinched my bleeding wound, as if trying to squeeze something out of it.

It's really tough.

When he let go, his index finger and thumb were stained red.

"Congratulations," he wiped the blood on the corner of my eye two or three times, "I got a pierced ear."
