    Chapter 51 (Part 2)

    Half an hour later, when the two arrived at the restaurant, Xu Yunchi had arrived when entering the box.

    When he saw each other, Qi Ji instinctively became nervous.

    "Xu, aunt Xu."

    Under the reminder of Pei Yuyin, he did not call the deputy director and renamed his aunt.

    However, it seems a bit awkward to call it out in front of people. One is to call each other old, and on the other hand, it also reveals some of the more momentum.

    It is a honor to be able to call the aunt for Vice Chairman Xinghai. For Qi Ji, a subsidiary, can be considered an honor.

    Qi Jixin was so embarrassed, but saw that the other party had no intention of mind, but laughed and yelled: "Hey."

    Xu Yunchi's eyebrows were slightly bent, and greeted him warmly: "Qi Qi is here, sit."

    Seeing her smile, Qi Ji couldn't help but red ears.

    Pei Yusheng, who followed Qi Ji: "..."

    He witnessed the whole process of the boy's ears from white to red, watching the tender ears stained with a touch of red.

    Qi Ji was shy, but the sight of Xu Yunchi was suddenly blocked.

    He stunned before reacting it was a recipe for Pei Yuyin behind Pei Yuyin.

    It happened between Qi Ji and Xu Yunchi.

    The man stood behind Qi Ji, and due to the posture of the recipe, his left hand was on the shoulder of Qi Ji. The two were very close, and Qi Ji could even perceive the temperature of the other's chest through the clothes on the back.

    The familiar low sound line fell in my ears, and Qi Ji's original red ears were shocked.

    "Clicked first."

    When the menu was picked up by Xu Yunchi, Pei Yu sounded again, lowered the sound, and asked in the human ear: "What do you want to eat?"

    Then he saw the child in his arms stiff like a cat holding the tip of his tail, flushed from the root of his ears, and quickly fainted his fair neck.

    It is much more popular than just now.

    "What, everything is ..."

    If it wasn't for Xu Yunchi, the boy would almost fled.

    Seeing people couldn't stand it, Pei Yuyan let go of the children from her arms.

    When he retracted his hand, the other party blushed so that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

    Xu Yunchi on the side did not squint, turned over the menu, and asked, "What is the three white?"

    "It is a medicated meal ..." The boy finally had the content of acceptance and quickly answered. "Generally, it is made of three white raw materials with cabbage, tofu and white meat. Each shop may have different practices."

    "What about this one?" Xu Yunchi sideways the photo on the menu.

    "I look at it." Qi Ji took the recipe over.

    While the boy looked at the recipe seriously, Xu Yunchi glanced at Pei Yuyin.

    This kid, really. Relying on Qi Qi's good temper, he knows how to bully others.

    The waiter came in to order, and the three were seated, ordering a total of six dishes. Although the taste has changed slightly, this is the hometown dish that Qi Ji is most familiar with, and it is very customary to eat it.

    With the dishes as the topic, and Xu Yunchi's own gentle personality and easy approach, Qi Ji gradually relaxed and was no longer as nervous as he was at the beginning.

    The host and guests enjoyed a meal, and they ate quite harmoniously. Before the end, Qi Ji went to the bathroom, and when he came back, Xu Yunchi mentioned Pei Yusheng again with him.

    "Yu Sheng told me." She sighed softly, her thin lips pursed slightly, and her words were filled with relief and gratitude, "Thanks to Qi Qi's help about insomnia."

    Qi Ji's heart tightened, does Aunt Xu know about his bedtime?

    Seeing that the man beside him was still indifferent, remembering that he didn't mention the nurse, Qi Jicai managed to suppress his shock, and waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite, I'm also very grateful to Mr. Pei... As long as he can rest well. it is good."

    Xu Yunchi shook his head: "I'm not being polite, I'm really thankful for you."

    Qi Ji was a little at a loss when she said that, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his right wrist.

    With this grip, he realized that his right hand was empty, missing the bracelet that he had worn since childhood.

    Qi Ji moved for a while, remembering that when he just went to wash his hands, he was afraid that the water on the bracelet would wet the cuffs, so he took off the bracelet.

    He was a little flustered because of Xu Yunchi's words. Losing the bracelet was even more distracting. He quickly apologized, "Sorry, Aunt Xu, I seem to have left the bracelet by the pool. I'll go get it first."

    Xu Yunchi nodded, "Okay."

    Pei Yusheng glanced at Qi Ji's wrist and knew that it was the bracelet that Qi's father made by himself, and said, "Don't worry, there are only a few rooms in the restroom area of ​​this store that will go to the same restroom, and there are cameras in the corridor. No one will mess around with things."

    Qi Ji was comforted by the man's words, nodded hastily, got up and left the box.

    Quickly walking towards the bathroom, Qi Ji squeezed her wrist, feeling annoyed. How could he forget the bracelet...

    Qi Ji suddenly froze for a moment.

    With his little finger down, he touched a very familiar touch.

    Qi Ji stood still abruptly, lowered his head and pulled down his cuffs.

    The dark chain link just ended up around his forearm.

    It was only then that Qi Ji remembered that he originally wanted to untie the bracelet, but later he was afraid of losing it, so he loosened the strap of the bracelet to the maximum, and put the bracelet back on his forearm.

    It was also because he was too nervous when facing Xu Yunchi's solemn thanks, and he forgot about it for a while.

    Qi Ji breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked towards the box. He didn't take a few steps in total, and when he walked back, he realized that he had just come out in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to close the box door.

    He was about to knock on the door to go in, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the crack of the door.

    Qi Ji didn't have the habit of eavesdropping at first, but when these words fell into his ears, he stopped in place.

    That was Xu Yunchi's voice. She asked, "Yu Sheng, after so long, have you still not unraveled the knot in your heart?"

    Pei Yusheng's answer was very calm, even showing a coldness: "It's okay to be confused, I can fall asleep now anyway."

    Xu Yunchi sighed again.

    Under the gentleness, her voice was full of deep sorrow: "But Yu Sheng, your current situation can at best be said to be taking sleeping pills to fall asleep. If you want to cure it, you still have to..."

    "Mom." Pei Yu interrupted her abruptly, his voice becoming colder, "I don't want to talk about him anymore."

    he?

    Qi Ji was puzzled. When Mr. Pei said "he", did he mean...?

    In this case, Qi Ji couldn't push the door and go in. He could only wait for a long silence in the house and no one spoke for a while before knocking lightly on the door and walking in.

    The two of them looked at the room together.

    Xu Yunchi asked with concern, "Have you found the bracelet?"

    As Qi Ji thought, the two of them in the room had returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

    Qi Ji nodded: "Well, I found it."

    Only then did Xu Yunchi feel relieved, "That's good."

    Business as usual. After dinner, the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Qi Ji tied the scarves, and heard Xu Yunchi say, "I saw the car, you two go back first."

    Qi Ji raised her head curiously, isn't Aunt Xu going with them?

    Seeing his expression, Pei Yusheng explained, "She's going to my uncle's place."

    Saying that, the car has already driven to the front.

    Pei Yusheng glanced inside the car and frowned suddenly.

    "why you?"

    Qi Ji followed and took a look.

    The driver is a slightly dull young man who he has never seen before.

    It was Xu Yunchi who answered, "I'm not going to the second brother's place. Your dad may come over tonight. We'll stay at Jiujiantang."

    Pei Yusheng frowned deeper.

    Xu Yunchi hesitated for a while, but still said: "Yu Sheng, you want to see..."

    Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Pei Yusheng: "I'm not going, you can go."

    Pei Yusheng restrained his expression and said calmly, expressionlessly: "Be careful on the road, you should rest early."

    Xu Yunchi was hesitant to speak, but in the end he just sighed, "You too."

    Qi Ji listened and remembered the conversation between Lina and Pei Yusheng after drinking.

    When he mentioned Father Pei, Pei Yusheng's tone was quite cold.

    It seems that the relationship between President Pei and his father does not seem to be very good.

    At least it's a far cry from his relationship with his mother.

    Qi Ji thought about it, and saw Xu Yunchi turn around and called him, "Qi Qi."

    Qi Ji hurriedly walked over, and as soon as he stepped forward, he was gently hugged.

    The light fragrance of the other party's body drifted, refreshing.

    Xu Yunchi said: "Take care, next time you come to S City, Auntie will come to see you again."

    Qi Ji nodded: "Okay, Auntie has a smooth journey."

    Xu Yunchi withdrew his hand, paused for a moment, and suddenly held Qi Ji's arm again.

    Qi Shi was slightly startled.

    He saw this gentle and noble woman's brows and eyes were full of worry, and said in a soft, almost hoarse voice, "Help Auntie take care of Yu Sheng too, okay?"

    Pei Yusheng frowned: "Mom."

    Qi Ji was surprised.

    Taking care of President Pei... What does it mean?

    But Xu Yunchi's expression was too earnest, not like a fake. Although he didn't know why he had to ask him, Qi Ji still nodded his head and said, "Okay auntie, I will remind Mr. Pei to take a good rest."

    Only then did Xu Yunchi let go of her hand, she blinked, her slender eyelashes glowed a little silver under the moonlight.

    She looked at the two of them and smiled: "Then I'm leaving, you all take care of yourselves."

    Qi Ji nodded, while Pei Yusheng opened the car door and took her into the car.

    Watch the car go away. Qi Ji turned back to look at Pei Yusheng, the man met his eyes, his face was as usual, he tilted his head slightly, and said, "Let's go."

    Qi Ji hesitated for a moment, then followed quietly.

    He could see that the man didn't want to say it.

    But this matter still stuck in Qi Ji's heart.

    President Pei's strange reaction... and his unresolved knot, what is going on?

    Because he was always thinking about this matter, when the medical team came back for an examination two days later, Qi Ji deliberately found a time and planned to ask Dr. Zhao.

    He didn't want to spy on President Pei, but Qi Ji wanted to know what he could do to help the other party.

    Even if it only works a little bit.

    Dr. Zhao and Dr. Li, who was Yuan Yuan with a high nose and deep eyes last time, were both there. When Qi sent over, Li Xinjie happened to go upstairs to help Pei Yusheng make a diagnosis, and only Dr. Zhao was still downstairs.

    Coincidentally, before Qi Ji could speak, Doctor Zhao took the lead and said, "Xiao Qi? I'm just looking for you."

    Qi Ji asked, "What's wrong?"

    "Did you stay with Er Shao all the time when he slept?" Zhao Mingzhen asked, knocking all the documents in his hand.

    Qi Ji nodded, "I was there when he was at home."

    Dr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever seen him wake up in the middle of the night? It's a sudden awakening, emotional, shortness of breath... something like this?"

    Although Pei Yusheng's average sleep time was only about four hours during this time, when he and Qi Ji were together, the quality of sleep was not bad. Qi Ji has never encountered the situation where the other party wakes up. Just as he was about to shake his head, he suddenly recalled the first night he learned of the other party's insomnia.

    That day, when he returned to the guest bedroom to rest, Pei Yusheng suddenly broke in in the middle of the night, tightly holding his hands, breathing heavily, and after hugging him for a long time, he gradually calmed down.

    Thinking of this, Qi sent a message to his lips and changed it into one sentence: "Why do you ask that?"

    But Dr. Zhao insisted: "Have you ever met?"

    Qi Ji finally nodded, "Yes."

    Dr. Zhao asked, "What was the reaction of Second Young Master at that time?"

    Qi Ji said: "It was the night before Lian Qing came over. At that time, President Pei suddenly woke up and was breathing heavily. It took a long time to calm down after seeing someone. After waking up, he said that he needed to listen to his heartbeat to calm down."

    Doctor Zhao frowned.

    Although have already understood the situation at that time, but when go back and look at it after have more information, it is already a different situation.

    Qi Ji asked, "What's going on?"

    Thinking that the other party is also an indispensable part of the treatment, and can even be said to be the most important doctor, Zhao Mingzhen paused and said, "We have found some information, and now I suspect that the second young master's insomnia may be one of the manifestations of PTSD. ."

    "PTSD?" Qi Ji had heard of this condition, but only in virtual works, "You mean, post-traumatic stress disorder?"

    "Yes." Dr. Zhao sighed and said, "Before retiring from the special forces, Second Young Master once witnessed his comrade-in-arms who he had been with for three years...die in front of him."

    Qi Ji was stunned.

    "Battle..."

    Zhao Mingzhen opened the file in his hand, Qi Ji's gaze moved over, and at a glance he saw a photo printed inside.

    It was a group photo of two men in military uniforms standing together, with Pei Yusheng on the left.

    On the right is a handsome young man with a smile.

    Zhao Mingzhen said with regret: "This is a photo from two years ago. When that person died, he was only 21 years old."

    Qi Ji's eyes were stuck on the photo, and he couldn't even move it away.

    The photos are in black and white, and the graphic elements are not high. It seems that they have been transferred many times. But even so, the slightly distorted photos still showed the tall and straight handsome young man.

    It seemed that he was born with a smile on his face. The man and Pei Yusheng stood together with a gentle smile, like the moonlight falling on his shoulders, with an inexplicable affinity.

    Qi Ji looked at it, the roar in his ears became more and more obvious, and the coldness jumped up from behind and drilled straight into the brain.

    He suddenly realized the reason why this man looked so friendly.

    The young man's expression was gentle, and at a glance, he was actually three-pointed in the gentleness that Qi Ji pretended to be.
