Chapter 38

Qi Ji did not expect that the person who came here would be Pei Yusheng's mother.

First, the name "Miss Xu" was used on the phone, and second, the other party's voice was gentle and moving, and she could not tell her age. Coupled with President Pei's attitude of being like a big enemy... Qi Ji made another oolong guess that was the same as when he first met Lina.

But after confirming the identity of the person who came, Qi Ji was even more confused.

Why does Mr. Pei's mother need him to avoid him? What's wrong with this?

But doubts turned into doubts, but Qi Ji still did not dare to move.

If his current position is discovered, it will be the biggest misunderstanding.

Pei's mother's voice sounded outside the quilt.

"The European contract was signed, and I came back early." She asked, "How are you, have you rested recently?"

"It's okay," Pei Yu said, "I can fall asleep."

His tone was low and his voice was low magnetic. Qi Ji was already sensitive to his voice, but now he was lying on the man's chest, and even the vibration of the other party's speech was transmitted without even a single minute, which made people even more numb and itchy.

From the thin skin on the tip of the ear to the soft meat on the back of the neck, all the way down, people can't gather the least bit of resistance.

If you can't beat the force value of fighting, the response of fighting will also be affected. Qi Ji bit her fingers, slightly annoyed.

But he was completely unable to control his burning cheeks.

The air in the quilt was limited, and even though Qi Ji had deliberately suppressed his breathing, the limited space was still getting hotter and hotter, and only the narrow slit on the right hand side could let in some fresh air.

what.

Qi Ji blinked his eyes dully.

Only then did he realize that the man had opened a little gap in the upper right corner of the quilt so that he could breathe.

But Qi Ji just noticed this, and in the next second, his eyes were completely darkened, and the only remaining gap was gone.

It was replaced by the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Is there no fever this time?"

Mother Pei approached and seemed to come over to check Pei Yusheng's temperature with her own hands. Her voice was right next to Qi Ji's hand, and Qi Ji was so frightened that her breathing stopped again, for fear that she would be discovered.

"You," Mother Pei sighed. "You don't love yourself so much at a young age."

Qi Ji held his breath and didn't dare to make a sound, but what made him most uncomfortable was not the difficult breathing, but the right thigh.

When was just put on the bed, was too nervous to adjust posture. Qi Ji's thigh and leg bones were on the crotch of the man below him, and the muscles in his legs had been tensed because of too much tension.

Qi Ji was extremely sensitive to pain, but it wasn't that he couldn't bear it. What he was most worried about was that he would have cramps, and then it would be really hard to control it.

"I'll pay attention." Pei Yu said, "Mom, it's inconvenient to be at the bedside, go sit on the sofa."

Although what the man said was what Qi Ji wanted most at the moment, but because it was too straightforward, Qi Ji couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He was worried that Pei's mother would find clues because of these words, and he was also worried that the other party would insist on sitting by the bed and have a good look at her son.

The wait was extremely long. Even though the two of them in the room were communicating at a normal speed, the pause before Mother Pei's answer still made Qi Ji feel like a year.

He finally waited for Mother Pei's voice.

"it is good."

Mother Pei responded lightly, but followed with a very light sigh.

"Yu Sheng, the road ahead is still so long. Take ten thousand steps back. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should think about the people around you."

Her voice was soft, with a touch of tenderness.

"You already have the idea of ​​not wanting to walk alone anymore, don't you?"

There was a slight silence in the room.

Qi Ji buried his head on the chest of the man below him, and couldn't help but feel a little apologetic in his heart.

It was obviously an intimate moment for mother and son to talk, but he, an outsider, stepped in and disturbed the rare warmth.

I don't know if President Pei was affected.

He only hoped that his weight could be lighter, not to disturb President Pei's emotions, so that the two could have a good conversation again.

Just listening to the voice and tone, Qi Ji was enough to imagine what Pei's mother looked like.

She is a very gentle mother.

After a short pause, Qi Ji heard Pei Yusheng's voice: "I see, Mom."

The man's voice was flat, and he couldn't make out any clues. It didn't look like he was still worried about being discovered by accident. He should be focusing on answering Pei's mother's question.

This made Qi Ji breath a sigh of relief.

However, he was so close to each other that he could clearly hear the heartbeat of the man's heart.

The sound was a little too strong, and it landed on the ear, causing the eardrums to itch.

President Pei's heartbeat seemed to be a little fast, Qi Ji thought to himself, maybe he was still a little nervous?

In fact, when Qi Ji just hid under the quilt, he felt the heartbeat of the other party was slightly heavier, but compared to the more nervous Qi Ji, the man was much calmer.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther, and Pei's mother walked away. Qi Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was startled by the sudden force and almost made a sound.

Pei Yusheng actually put his hand in, and when Pei's mother turned to walk away, he wrapped Qi Ji's waist and hugged the person up a little, helping Qi Ji adjust his posture.

Qi Ji's thighs finally stopped resting on the other's crotch, and the soreness just now was significantly relieved.

The danger was lifted, and Qi Ji let out a long sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he inevitably gave birth to some strange things.

Why does President Pei hug him so smoothly? Obviously he couldn't see his position through the quilt, and Qi Ji didn't tell the other party that his legs were uncomfortable. Pei Yusheng still stretched out his hand so naturally and skillfully helped him adjust his posture.

It was as if he was used to hugging him.

Qi Ji was startled by this thought.

how come?

If it weren't for an accident, the aloof president would definitely not be able to condescend to hug people. From another perspective, Qi Ji himself would not be able to get close to people so unguardedly.

But Pei Yusheng's smooth movements could not be explained, Qi Ji even felt vaguely that the breath of the other party was so familiar.

He was puzzled, the gap in the upper right corner was reopened, and Qi Ji's breathing was much smoother than before. He was full of doubts and no one could understand it. He could only listen to the mother and son continue to chat in silence.

"How about Yuntu, is it going well?" Mother Pei asked.

"It's been finalized," Pei Yusheng said in a more calm tone when talking about official business, "The process is almost gone, and it can be announced in the middle of next month."

However, his heartbeat hadn't fully recovered yet, Qi Ji pressed it against the person's chest, and he could still clearly hear the beating sound.

"Okay." Pei's mother said, "Xinghai will also send a message, and the whole plan will be larger, but we are not in a hurry, you should take your time and take care of your health."

"Um."

Qi Ji only knew that the Pei family in City B was very famous, but he didn't know the identity of Pei's mother. He didn't expect that the other party would give Pei Yusheng advice on the management of the company.

Pei's mother continued to ask: "By the way, Yu Sheng, uncle said that you bought a new dessert processing factory. What's the matter? Are those desserts not enough before?"

"No." Pei Yu said, "I just bought one myself because I wanted to find a supplier who could provide Xinghai with refreshments."

Huh?

Qi Ji was stunned for a moment. Did President Pei buy the wealth?

Obviously, his thinking has not yet adapted to the willful mode of "buying a food processing factory when you need refreshment", and he has not been able to predict the direction of the next conversation between the two.

Pei's mother actually didn't ask how much the processing factory cost. Instead, she said, "Oh, that's fine. It just happened to be used to make the physical enterprise smarter. I remember that this factory used the operating system provided by Xinghai before, right?"

"right."

"Well, in fact, the same is true for the car contract signed in Europe this time. When the research and development reaches a certain stage, it is necessary to find a real enterprise to cooperate and practice. Fully automatic driving is a relatively high chain, but in fact, this kind of thing is the same. , you can use the processing factory to practice your hands first, it’s not bad to be a pilot.”

"We will follow up in the future," Pei Yu said. "We chose this processing factory because they have the foundation of Xinghai's intelligent system."

Mother Pei said: "Yes, our purpose is not to participate in the real economy, not to really make sugar and sell sugar, but the Internet of Things is a must, you have considered this very well."

Qi Ji didn't expect that in terms of career, Pei's mother actually gave Pei Yusheng a kind of guidance.

He originally thought that Pei Yusheng, who was a young president and was busy with reporting files all day, was good enough.

The two continued to chat. They talked about a lot of information, but the time was not long, and the chat was very brief.

After talking about work, Mother Pei also asked, "Yu Sheng, are you still used to living here?"

Pei Yu said, "It's okay."

"You haven't been here before, have you?" Mother Pei said, "My bedroom was downstairs from you at that time. According to Director Wu, it is now one of the largest rooms in this nursing home."

There was nostalgia in her tone: "It's been so many years, have you seen the four trees at the gate of the courtyard? I planted them together with your three uncles back then, and they've grown so tall now."

Qi Ji listened, and only then did she understand why Pei's mother was called "Ms. Xu" instead of "Ms. Xu" on the phone.

Mother Pei actually lived here when she was a child.

Most of the buildings in this sanatorium are small western-style buildings with three or four floors. Although the refurbishment marks are obvious, they still retain the elegant charm that belongs to the years.

It seems that this sanatorium was also one of the assets of President Pei's family before.

Qi Ji listened to the chat outside and thought about it in a mess, feeling a little dizzy. Although the man left a gap for him to breathe, after a long time, he still lacked oxygen.

Pei Yusheng's hand would come in from time to time to help him breathe more oxygen, or to cover up some uneven parts. Qi Ji was frightened a few times at the beginning, but then he gradually got used to it, and he was a little deprived of oxygen, and his opponent's response became weaker.

His side face was rubbed by the man's finger, and the overreaction of being touched directly was gone, and there was only a warm and comfortable feeling.

Qi Ji vaguely understood how hot her face was.

After a while, he heard Pei Yu say, "Mom, go back first, take care of the jet lag, and go home to see you when I have a rest."

This is equally straightforward, and it sounds a bit like chasing people at first glance. But mother Pei didn't say anything after listening, and after a few more words, she got up and prepared to leave.

Pei Yu said, "Mom, wait at the door, I'll change a coat for you."

"it is good."

When the door closed, Qi Ji finally dared to let go. He let out a long sigh, and fell down completely weakly.

He had been nervous for too long, and he was almost out of strength at this time, and he couldn't even lift the quilt and jump down as he had expected at first.

The quilt was lifted, and cool air poured in. The boy was like a suffocated cub, weakly nestled in his chest.

The tips of his ears were already flushed, and his cheeks were stuffed with two blushes. The fingers and lips were bitten out with distinct red marks, a pair of beautiful eyes were full of water vapor, and even the curled eyelashes became wet.

A hand reached out and gently squeezed his flushed cheek.

Qi Ji took a long time to react, her lips dipped in water slightly opened, and a question mark slowly appeared above her head.

He even spoke slowly, and he didn't understand why Pei Yusheng pinched him: "What's the matter...?"

The man looked down at him, his expression still as calm as usual, and he was not even in a hurry to let him get off him.

"You got fluff on your face, and I wiped it off for you."

"Ah...? Oh, thank you, Mr. Pei." Qi Ji reached out to touch his face subconsciously, and took a few more breaths before he woke up a little.

As soon as he woke up, he quickly propped himself up and left Pei Yusheng's chest, and hurriedly rolled over from the person.

Qi Ji's body was still a little weak, and physical contact was unavoidable in his movements, and he was a little bit in a hurry.

He only cared about his movements, but he didn't notice that the man in front of him had no intention of reaching out to help him to hurry up.

It was only when Qi Ji got out of bed that Pei Yusheng helped him to prevent him from standing still.

Pei Yusheng went out and went to Pei's mother to leave. Qi Ji slowed down for a while, then got up and walked to the door to press the doorbell microphone, carefully listening to the movement outside the door.

The footsteps slowly faded away, and Mother Pei did leave.

Just as Qi Ji wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he vaguely heard half a conversation.

"You child, really, there is no first time..."

It was Pei's mother's voice, and it seemed a little resentful, but when they walked away, they couldn't hear the words behind.

Probably still talking about the fact that Mr. Pei doesn't cherish his own body.

Qi Ji rubbed his forehead, turned around, and hurriedly cleaned up the house.

He didn't have time to take off his coat just now, and it was fortunate that he didn't let Mother Pei find out.

Qi Ji was still a little dizzy from the heat, so he took off his coat and put it in his backpack, so as not to be seen by outsiders again. Afterwards, he put the cat doll on the sofa on Pei Yusheng's bed, so that people can easily get it.

After cleaning up, Pei Yusheng also came back. Qi Ji had already slowed down a bit, but when he saw the man suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he remembered that he had just been lying on top of him for so long.

The atmosphere in the room was a little stiff for a while, but Pei Yusheng didn't seem to notice it. He reached out to close the door and asked, "Are you okay? Did you get bored just now?"

Qi Ji shook his head: "I'm fine, auntie... is she gone?"

"Um."

Qi Ji hesitated, but still couldn't hold back: "President Pei said before that there was a misunderstanding... What would Auntie misunderstand?"

Pei Yusheng raised his eyes, the distance between the two was nearly two meters, and he had to shout.

He glanced at the boy who subconsciously kept a distance from him, stopped for a moment, and then said, "She will misunderstand me that I am lazy, so I hire a personal care worker and don't work on my own."

Qi Ji obviously didn't expect this answer, and was obviously stunned: "...Ah?"

But Pei Yusheng didn't change his face, and his tone didn't seem to be fake: "They don't like me hiring a nurse, they think it will foster laziness."

It turns out that President Pei's tutoring is so strict? Qi Ji scratched his hair, but thinking about it, besides himself, Qi Ji had never seen other personal care workers beside Pei Yusheng.

Even the special assistant to the president with the gold-framed glasses usually mostly makes phone calls. Anyway, Qi Ji never met him when he went to work at night.

but……

Qi Ji was a little worried: "Then now I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yusheng guessed it.

"It's okay, she's very busy. She only has time to come over tonight. And the treatment will be over in a few days. We will go back to the Rose Villa and not live with her."

"okay."

Looking at the location and area of ​​Rose Villa, Qi Ji thought it was a family house, but she didn't expect that Mother Pei didn't live here.

But think about it too, with President Pei's family background, there must be more than one villa.

Just thinking about it, Qi Ji raised his head, only to realize later that the man he was talking to had walked in front of him.

During this period of time, the two have kept a safe distance, and the man has never done anything out of the ordinary. This is also the reason why Qi Ji gradually reduced his guard and became more and more interested in this part-time work as a nurse.

But this time was obviously different from before. Pei Yusheng didn't stop at a safe distance, but walked over directly. His tall and slender figure blocked Qi Ji against the wall.

"President Pei?"

Qi Jizheng was puzzled when he saw the man stretch out his hand towards him.

He instantly remembered what he had just been pinched, and thought that there was fluff on his face again.

Just as he was about to tell the other party that you don't need to bother to come by yourself, before Qi Ji could open his mouth, he was embraced by those muscular, strong arms.

"...?!"

One hand wrapped around Qi Ji's waist, the other hand wrapped around his back, and Qi Ji was completely wrapped into another embrace.

"President Pei...?"

He was stunned, not knowing what happened.

There was a slightly dull breathing sound very close to the ear, and it took a long time to hear that low magnetic voice.

"You're easier to hold than a doll."

Qi Ji: "...Ah?"

He was stunned by Pei Yusheng's reaction and couldn't make up his mind at all. If it weren't for the high fever that came clearly, Qi Ji would almost think that he was suffocated and hallucinated.

But soon, the strength of the restraint on the lower back and back disappeared. The man only hugged him for a while, and then released him before Qi Jisui felt instinctive disgust.

"I can only sleep less than an hour a night these days, or I don't have a good rest." Pei Yusheng looked at him and said seriously, "Can I hold you to sleep for a while tonight?"

At first hearing this request, Qi Ji was stunned again.

The man's previous sentence is indeed true. During his time in the sanatorium, although Qi Ji was his escort, he slept longer than Pei Yusheng. Many times Pei Yusheng asked him to sleep first, and when Qi Ji woke up, he found that the man was still awake.

According to the sleep recorder, Pei Yusheng will indeed rest for a while after Qi Ji falls asleep, but his effective sleep time is still not long every day, and compared with normal people, it is even more pitiful.

Qi Ji knew that the other party didn't sleep well, but he still had an instinctive resistance to this kind of intimate contact.

He said dryly: "Isn't Pei always... It's uncomfortable to sleep without holding something? I brought a cat doll today, and President Pei can also try it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yusheng leaned over and hugged him again.

The strength of a man is not heavy. This is a very light hug, which will only make people feel warm and will not give rise to disgust.

"But it's not as comfortable for you to hold."

The voice near his ear was hoarse and low, like the sound of ancient trees and sea waves.

"I hold it, and I can't hear the heartbeat."

The night wind was blowing outside the house, and the man's tone was not tough, but he was always calm.

But for some unknown reason, Qi Ji faintly sensed the loneliness and loneliness he showed from this man who was always willful and unfettered.
