Chapter 41

These words are resolute and stern, but they also have a dying aura that makes it hard to ignore the possibility that the speaker will actually do so.

But even if he was pressed like this, Pei Yusheng still didn't change his face.

"If you get married, she will also attend to bless you."

"Marriage? Ha!"

Lina seemed to hear some big joke. But her laughter is not pleasant, but it seems to contain blood, which makes people feel fishy.

"Isn't her wedding enough? Pei Xiaolin did so well, she was so thorough, she didn't even let me take a look!"

"Marriage..." Lina couldn't help coughing, her voice was like crying and laughing, "I don't even have the qualifications to see her at the wedding of the person I love..."

But Pei Yusheng was not touched at all, it seemed to be due to his personality, and it seemed that he had seen the same scene many times. He just looked at it coldly, his tone was almost cold compared to Lina.

"Xinghai is her hard work. You are in this position, and you are walking with her."

Lina bent too much and couldn't hold it, so she slowly squatted down.

"Peer..." She buried her face in her knees, her voice muffled, "I'm not qualified to be with her..."

She was also wearing the long white dress that Qi Ji had seen before. The white skirt was originally a fluffy and gentle style, but now it has rubbed a few stains from nowhere, and it has fainted into a dark cloud before the rainstorm. The attached protruding spine was revealed inch by inch, falling into the eyes of people, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

The dark clouds accumulated to the extreme and finally fell. After a while, under the thin, trembling raised spine, there was a suppressed sob that had changed its tune.

Qi Ji witnessed the whole process in the dark, and the feeling can no longer be described as surprise.

He had heard too much about Lina's genius deeds, seen her own arrogance, and even been scolded by her face to face more than once, but Qi Ji never imagined that such a near-legendary character would have such a fragile side.

Qi Ji now understands why Pei Yusheng asked him to hide in the first place - if Lina knew that Qi Ji had seen her out of control, the two of them would definitely not get along again.

It's just that Qi Ji doesn't quite understand it... Lina said that President Pei stole her lover, what does that mean?

Gender alone doesn't match, right?

He was wondering when he heard the sound of wheels again, and a white car drove to the door of the studio. It was the Kaman that Lina usually used.

The driver's door opened, and an elderly aunt hurried over to support the depressed Lina.

Lina was reluctant to move at first, and when the aunt persuaded her, she could see who was coming: "Aunt Deng..."

"Hey, miss, it's me." Auntie was so distressed, "Why do you drink so much..."

After thanking Pei Yusheng, my aunt helped Lina drive away.

The car went away, and the surroundings returned to silence. The night was so windy that even the pale street lights seemed to be blown, and they swayed for a moment.

Under the light, the man in front of the independent gate didn't say a word, but it made people feel colder than this cold wind.

Although he has a deep memory, Qi Ji has not felt the kind of intimidation and oppression in a man when they first met. This kind of fierce aura is not often revealed in Pei Yusheng's body on weekdays, and it is also the true face that a man can only see when he rarely peels off his disguise.

Qi Ji hesitated for a moment.

He finally walked out of the shadow where he was hiding and stopped a few meters away from the person.

The man didn't look back, but opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

"come over."

Qi Ji walked over, he was full of doubts, but it didn't matter, the most important thing at the moment was to comfort him, but he didn't know anything about it, and his words and actions were so lacking.

It was Pei Yusheng who spoke earlier than him.

"Is there surveillance at the door?"

Qi Ji didn't expect the other party to be so calm at this time, so he was stunned before saying, "Yes, but it's not open at night."

Pei Yusheng turned his head slightly: "Let's go."

It was not convenient to talk or stay here, so the two got into the car, and the dark blue Bugatti Veyron drove away quickly.

In the dark, the car drove fast.

Compared to the previous time when men came, who simply listened to the sound of cars, Qi Ji this time has experienced firsthand what a drag racing is. The performance of the luxury supercar is enough to reach any desired speed, and the roaring engine sound can easily arouse a man's desire for speeding.

But Pei Yusheng's expression was still frozen like ice.

In the dark night, the profile of the man's face seemed to be carved by a knife, and every minute of the arc showed an unmeltable coldness.

Even if Qi Ji didn't understand empathy, he could still see that the other party was in a bad state.

Besides, he has been with Pei Yusheng for so long, and his emotional perception of men has become more and more acute.

Qi Ji wanted to say something, even if it could just ease the atmosphere. But he racked his brains and couldn't find a suitable consolation.

He could only suppress the panic pouring out of his heart first.

It was late at night, the city was empty and the streets were wide. Speeding is not barrier-free, and since this is a suburb, the speed limit is looser than in the city.

But Qi Ji was still afraid. He has a deep shadow on the rampaging car, which makes Qi Ji involuntarily think of the car accident that he has seen many times in his nightmares and repeated in his mind.

The wind was howling outside the car, Qi Ji looked out the window sideways, and narrowed his eyes quietly.

The back of his neck was cold, his fingertips were cold, and the flickering light occasionally reflected his face in the car window, so white that it was almost bloodless.

It wasn't until the red light intersection that the sports car slowed down and stopped, Qi Ji let out a breath.

The words of comfort he had been searching for for a long time were also scattered by the speed of the wind, and they were thrown into every corner, and he couldn't gather a finished product that could speak.

The red light turned green and the engine sounded again, Qi Ji couldn't help but narrowed his eyes again, clenching his fingers on the seam of his trousers.

But unexpectedly, this time the driving speed suddenly slowed down, and even the wind outside the car slowed down.

Qi Ji raised his head in surprise, facing the bottomless light-colored eyes in the rearview mirror.

"Feel sorry."

One step ahead of him, Pei Yusheng opened his mouth.

"I drove too fast just now."

"It's okay..." Qi Ji hurriedly shook his head, feeling a little annoyed as soon as the words came out.

He thought about comfort all the way, but let President Pei speak first.

The first sentence the other party said was actually an apology.

The vehicle drove smoothly, Pei Yusheng looked ahead, but the words still fell on Qi Ji: "Don't look out the window for motion sickness."

"Wait a while, the road will be bumpy, close your eyes and rest for a while, or look forward."

"Okay..." Qi Ji responded and saw the man stretched out his hand to open the car refrigerator again, and handed over a bottle of lemonade from inside.

The ice-cold water droplets slipped down the body of the bottle and dripped on the back of the hand, which refreshed the drowsy spirit.

Qi Ji put her face on the bottle and froze it.

He sighed silently.

If he could learn even a tenth of the consideration from Mr. President, he might be able to provide him with some comfort.

The drive was long, and the speed slowed down again. Apart from that brief conversation, Pei Yusheng didn't say anything the rest of the way.

After about half an hour, the car drove into the bumpy road, the surrounding light was dim, and the city S was too big. Qi Ji had been here for four years and had not been able to go around, so he did not recognize where it was.

After a while, the running sports car even started to jerk a little. The wind was getting louder and louder, and the car stopped in an open and dark place.

When Qi Ji got out of the car, he was startled by the touch under his feet. He took a few steps forward, walked around the car body, and looked up into the distance. There was not enough light around, but only the sound was enough to identify it.

This is actually a beach.

Is there a beach in S city? Qi Ji was a little surprised, he glanced at it from a distance, and was blown by the wind in front of him and raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Really the sea.

The sound of the waves was low and hoarse, even more lonely in the night. Qi Ji took a few steps, only to realize that he didn't see another person.

The door was closed just now. Qi Ji went around the front of the car and walked to the other side, only to see the man who was like a tree, motionless.

This side wind is stronger, and it is very uncomfortable for people, so it is really not suitable to stay for a long time. Qi Ji walked over and wanted to ask, "President Pei..."

Before he could finish speaking, his wrists were already wrapped by warm palms.

He was pulled over, and his movements were not rude, but revealed an undisguised need, as if Qi Ji was a piece of driftwood in the turbulent current, the last straw for life.

On such a cold night, the sea breeze was desolate, but Pei Yusheng was as warm as ever. The temperature passed along the close skin, dispelling the cold wind, leaving only the warmth in this corner.

Qi Ji was a little apprehensive, afraid that he would absorb too much temperature, but he would not be able to give him anything.

He could feel Pei Yusheng's bad state, but he didn't know how to soothe him, so he could only clumsily imitate the other person's appearance, reaching out and gently stroking the other person's back.

It's a pity that Qi Ji's arms were not long enough, and he was hugged too tightly, so he could only reach the opponent's back waist, which made his movements even more jerky.

"President Pei..."

The heat source finally responded.

"Don't call me President Pei."

The man's voice was more muffled than the sound of the ocean waves, as if it had been tempered by repeated washing, and he was only exhausted.

Qi Ji paused and changed his name.

"...Mr. Pei?"

This name is defaulted.

Qi Ji patted the other party's back again.

"Mr. Pei." He said softly, "It doesn't matter, it will all pass."

He said it seriously, and the person being comforted was silent for a moment, but laughed.

"What are you thinking about?"

The hug that was so tight that it almost buried the man in his arms finally lost some strength, the man backed away a little, and Qi Ji saw his face.

There was nothing, and Pei Yusheng's face was still the same. It seemed that the man whose breathing was suppressed and heavy just now was not him.

"What did Lina say just now?"

Qi Ji hesitated, he really thought it had something to do with Lina's sentence "You took my lover", but he didn't know whether to nod or not.

Before he could respond, Pei Yusheng had already turned his arms around his shoulders and took him a few steps forward.

"Go under that reef and take shelter from the wind."

In the dark, he couldn't see the direction of the reef clearly. Qi Ji followed the person forward, thinking that the other person was trying to divert the topic.

But before he took a few steps, he heard the man's understatement.

"It has nothing to do with her. The lover in her mouth is my mother."

The answer was too earth-shattering, Qi Ji heard it, and almost stumbled over the gravel mixed in the coarse sand under his feet.

Fortunately, his reaction ability was excellent, and he immediately stabilized himself without any accident.

But Qi Ji's shock didn't subside a bit: "But Lina, isn't she also... a girl? She and aunt..."

"No." Pei Yusheng's tone was still calm, without bluffing toughness and excitement, "My parents are each other's first love, love at first sight, free love, more than 20 wedding anniversaries have passed."

Qi Ji was surprised: "Then Lina said..."

Pei Yusheng's tone was so calm that it was almost cruel: "Unrequited love objects can also be called lovers."

"My mother doesn't know her feelings, she only regards her as a distant cousin who may not see her once a year."

Qi Ji was dumbfounded.

Some people do call the unrequited love object their lover, but they have different ideas, and it's not wrong to say that.

It's just that this is the case, which makes people unexpected. Lina, who looks so free and easy, actually has such a bitter love.

When the two of them walked under the reef, Qi Ji realized that this was an angle formed by two huge boulders that were two people tall. As soon as they walked over, the surrounding area was obviously much warmer, and even the whistling sea breeze was blocked for the most part.

The night was dark and there were no beacons around, but they walked right under the sheltered stone. It seems that Mr. President seems to be very familiar with this place.

The sand here was also very soft, and it was just facing the sea, so the two sat down side by side.

As soon as Qi Ji sat down, he felt his shoulders sink, Zhou Wen felt warm and turned his head, only to realize that Pei Yusheng took off his coat and put it on him.

"No need..." He was about to decline, but he heard the man speak.

"I want to blow the wind for a while, but you are very cold." Pei Yu asked, "With a coat, can you stay with me for a while?"

Qi Jizheng didn't know how to appease the other party. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to speak, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

He couldn't even refuse that manly jacket.

The night wind was blowing, and in front of him was the waves crashing on the shore. Among the natural sounds in his ears, Qi Ji heard Pei Yusheng say, "She's actually very powerful."

He was talking about Lina again.

"Lina was born in the side branch of Xu's family. That branch has always been out of power, has no resources, and can't share much inheritance. Lina himself doesn't even have the surname Xu. But her father was a son-in-law who came to the door and clinging to the Xu family wholeheartedly, when he learned about this After the incident, I was worried that the Xu family would blame me, and I was furious on the spot, and almost broke Lina's leg directly."

"As a result, Lina received a notice that night that she won her first international design award. This was a very rare situation in China at that time, and it caused quite a stir. Many people sent congratulatory letters, and there were others. The company sincerely invites Lina to cooperate."

"Lina has also become a popular character."

The man's voice was low, like the sound of the sea coming from a farther and wider place.

"Even my grandfather asked about this matter, saying that the Xu family lacked such talents, and he wanted to ask her to help with something."

"Since then, her father never dared to despise her again, and he didn't want this matter to be exposed and offend the Xu family, so he kept his mouth shut."

"Lina hid it very well, except for her father who accidentally learned about it, so far, few people in the family know that she likes my mother. During the New Year's and holidays, relatives and friends can reunite, and they can play a play peacefully. I wish them happiness. ."

"Except when she is occasionally stimulated, she is still a bright and perfect person on weekdays."

He put it lightly, as if he was just telling a story about a stranger, but for some reason, Qi Ji faintly heard an indescribable pain.

It was as if the truth was not as peaceful as Pei Yusheng's description, and even he seemed to be suffering from the same pain.

"She was just unlucky and fell in love with someone who didn't love her."

Pei Yusheng's voice lowered, like elaboration and self-talk.

"This kind of thing is too common. Another person might not be able to do it to her level."

Qi Ji looked at the man's gaze slightly condensed.

From the very beginning, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

It was Pei Yusheng's arm.

The man's endurance was so strong that Qi Ji couldn't find anything unusual until the two of them sat down side by side and got close to each other, and Qi Ji discovered the abnormality of each other's muscles——

Pei Yusheng's right arm was actually tensing all the time. The outline was so beautiful and eye-catching, but it was rigid and unchanging.

"President Pei, you..."

Not wanting to go overboard, Qi Ji directly reached out and held the back of the man's hand.

He could feel the warm body temperature under his fingertips, the slightly bulging cyan blood vessels, and the throbbing pulse under his thumb.

This is the first time Qi Ji has taken the initiative to touch someone else's bare skin in so many days.

But this was because he didn't know what was hidden under his clothes, so he didn't dare to touch it.

He carefully pulled at the other side's neat cuff and pulled it up a little, exposing the part below the wrist.

On that firm, strong and perfectly-lined forearm, there was a bruise and bruise that was swollen and swollen.

The bruise spread all the way to the cuffs that were carefully pulled up, to the depths that were invisible.

The real injury of the other party was far more serious than the hideous appearance.

"You are hurt?!"

He was so shocked that he couldn't think in time, and Qi Ji finally heard the other party's last sentence, "it may be impossible for her to do this to another person".

For no reason, at this moment of shock, he suddenly thought of Lina's past mentioned by Pei Yusheng.

Pei Yusheng said that Lina's father almost broke her leg once.

Then his own injury...who caused it?

Pei Yusheng is a retired special forces soldier. No matter how powerful an ordinary person is, how could he possibly hurt him half a point?

What's more, it's still so serious, with such a ruthless injury.
