Chapter 82: Extra Story 1

As May is approaching, Xinghai Group has a large-scale project going to Xiangjiang to discuss. The group sent a lot of people to go there. The person leading the team is Pei Yusheng, a member of the board of directors of the group.

The design department also sent personnel to communicate with the group. Because this project did not require Xinghai to participate in too much design content, only Qi Ji was selected as the final candidate.

I was approaching college graduation and needed to do my final defense. Qi Ji did not intend to take on any long-term projects, so this short-term business trip fell on Qi Ji, who had no big plans.

The project negotiation went so smoothly that the original five-day itinerary ended in the last three days. After the contract was negotiated, the team was not in a hurry to go back. For the remaining two days, everyone was invited to play freely in Xiangjiang City.

After the celebration banquet was held together, the rest of the time was free and free activities. It was also at this time that the leader, President Pei, took the lead and left alone.

When someone asked, another colleague who had some information replied, saying that President Pei's home is here. Although Pei Yusheng's identity has not been made public, he has rarely been criticized for his performance and performance since then.

When Pei Yusheng left, he also abducted the youngest entourage in the regiment. Because the design department only sent one person, and he came from Yuntu again. He was not too familiar with the people from Xinghai at the headquarters, and he did not attract much attention when he left the group.

That morning, the two of them appeared at the most lively scenic spot in Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang is not a big place, but it is a well-known tourist city with unique customs and many special refreshments. The two of them were not in a hurry, so they walked slowly on the street, eating and shopping, and they went to the most authentic old shops.

When he ate a cookie, Qi Ji felt that the taste was very familiar, and he couldn't help thinking of the fact that he had just arrived in the design department.

"I've eaten this cookie before, and it was given to her by Director Wu's friend," Qi Ji said. "She said she couldn't finish it, so she brought it to the office and distributed it to us."

Pei Yusheng listened, but there was no expression on his face, he just continued to stuff the snowflakes into the hands of the children who had just finished eating the cookies: "Are the cookies delicious?"

"Delicious!" Qi Ji praised the taste of the cookie seriously, "The milk smell is very strong, and it melts when you put it in your mouth. I always remember it."

Pei Yusheng wiped the cookie crumbs from the corner of the child's mouth, withdrew his hand and licked the pulp of his finger.

"Well." He was calm in the boy's slightly startled gaze, "It's really sweet."

It was only late spring, when the temperature was at its best, but Qi Ji felt a little feverish. He didn't know how to answer, so he simply handed the snowflake cake in his hand to the other party: "If Mr. likes it, we can eat it together."

The corners of Pei Yusheng's lips curved slightly, but it was true that he was eating with someone.

He took the boy's hand and took only a small bite on the snowflakes: "I'll just taste a little."

Qi Ji didn't even notice it, and after the others finished biting it, he took the rest of the snowflakes and continued to eat it.

Pei Yusheng stopped for a while at the place where he had bitten, and then asked, "If you like this cookie, can we buy more and take it back?"

"Actually, it doesn't take too much." Qi Ji shook his head, "The cookies in the company's refreshment room are also delicious, and they are freshly made, without vacuum packaging, so they won't last long."

Although it is delicious, the cost of taking it home is a bit high.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again: "That's why we were surprised when Director Wu brought so many desserts here. And those things are hand-made, expensive and hard to buy. Everyone guessed at that time. Did Director Wu's new boyfriend give it to her, and in the end a lot of it was shared with us, and everyone felt embarrassed."

Pei Yusheng listened, but did not smile.

After walking around the city, the two went to the port again. Xiangjiang City is surrounded by the sea on many sides, the scenery is pleasant, and both of them like the sea, the impression of coming here is even better.

Standing on the high bridge watching the sea, before Qi Ji could speak, he heard the man beside him say: "Decades ago, there were quite a few private islands here, but later they were all owned by the government and are not allowed to be privately owned. ."

Qi Ji subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really a little afraid that Mr. Pei would suddenly say "There is also your island here", especially when Qi Ji knew that a rich man in China who was keen to buy private islands and known as the "Island King" also There are only more than 30 small islands, and there are 50 islands under his own name.

Although all private property will not be disclosed without his consent, Qi Ji is still a little uncomfortable with the luxury life of being told "this sea is contracted by you" when he sees the sea.

It's just that Qi Ji didn't finish his breath, and heard Pei Yu say: "But the beach here can buy real estate. There is a beach twenty nautical miles to the southeast under your name. If you want to play, you can go there at any time."

Qi Ji: "..."

"First, don't use it for now." Qi Ji changed the topic with difficulty, "Let's just go for a walk. Aunt Xu's house is here, and my husband should have lived here when he was a child? Would he often run out to see the sea at that time? ?"

Pei Yusheng smiled, seeing that he was still a little uncomfortable, so he thoughtfully didn't mention it, and just replied following the other party's words: "The Xu family is indeed here, but I live in city B most of the time, come here In fact, the number of times is not much, and sometimes it does not come once a year.”

Qi Ji was a little puzzled: "Don't you like the seaside, sir?"

Looking at the handwriting of sending the island for his birthday, Mr. Pei's elders obviously know that he likes the sea. Why does Mr. Pei come to Xiangjiang so few times?

Pei Yu said lightly: "Because I had to train every day with the orderlies in the courtyard, I couldn't leave City B for too long, and I couldn't do it too many times, otherwise my father would think I was cowardly and lazy."

He has been forced to participate in training since he was a child, and he runs around the moat every day before dawn. Ordinary soldiers still have a sick leave, but Pei Yusheng has to be forced by Pei Xiaolin. Even when he is sick and has a high fever, he cannot leave the practice task, otherwise he will be punished with a stick.

Even before, when Pei Yusheng met his mother in the nursing home to visit, he pulled Qi Ji and hid it in his arms, and the reasons he said were not fabricated out of thin air. Although Pei's mother wouldn't mind, Pei Xiaolin really wouldn't agree with Pei Yu's request for a nurse.

He hated everything that could be seen as lazy and cowardly.

Speaking of the past, Pei Yusheng's tone was not excited, on the contrary, his tone was rather flat.

But when Qi Ji heard it, she felt stunned.

How could a father treat his son like this?

He couldn't help but ask, "Then Aunt Xu..."

Pei Yusheng knew what the boy wanted to ask: "They actually quarreled many times, but my mother had nothing to do at the time."

Mother Pei was still young at that time and did not know how important she was to Pei Xiaolin. And Xinghai has not developed in those years, but it is bigger than the Pei family.

In the end, the quarrel will have no result. Pei Xiaolin's soft heart will only be left to Xu Yunchi alone, and Pei Yusheng's treatment will remain the same.

Qi Ji knew that this kind of thing would definitely not be a good memory for Pei Yusheng, so he closed his mouth and stopped asking, and only reached out and hugged Mr. Pei.

"It's all over, sir."

Pei Yusheng wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, resting his chin on the man's neck, and said in a low voice, "En."

Qi Ji stretched out her hand again and patted the other person's back.

It's as if Bai Baishun's back hair is being coquettish in his arms.

The gentle sea breeze brushed past the shoulders of the two of them, and the surroundings were peaceful.

In addition to the wind, there was also the sound of the telephone ringing.

Qi Ji wanted to back away a little, but was hugged even tighter.

Not seeing the expression of the man buried in his neck, Qi Ji blinked and reminded softly, "Sir, call."

Pei Yusheng's voice came from the side of his neck, muffled: "Never mind it."

But the bell never stopped. Qi Ji listened quietly for a while, and then gently smoothed the man's back: "You changed your personal mobile phone before you came here. Now that you can call in, maybe you really have something to ask for Mr.?"

Pei Yusheng was silent for a while, then finally raised his head, let out a breath, and took out his cell phone.

Sure enough, the number displayed on the screen was a familiar number.

Pei Yusheng answered the phone: "Hello, Mom?"

He frowned slightly: "Have you come to Xiangjiang?"

Qi Ji listened to the side, and was also a little surprised.

Aunt Xu has been holding meetings abroad these days. She originally thought that she would not be here when the two came to Xiangjiang this time, but she did not expect that she would temporarily change the schedule.

The call was over soon, and Pei Yusheng hung up the phone and turned to ask Qi Ji, "My mother is here, asking if we want to go home and sit down."

He brushed the stray hair on the boy's cheek: "Do you want to go?"

This time, Pei Yusheng didn't plan to let Qi Ji go to Xu's house with him. After all, his family background was different, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on the boy. However, if Pei's mother came together, Qi Ji would be able to relax a little, so Pei Yusheng wanted to ask him.

Qi Ji was also a little hesitant about this question, but he thought about it and finally agreed: "Okay."

Because he remembered the events of the New Year.

At that time, due to the possibility of disease, Mr. Pei didn't even come to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year, and he also missed the rare chance to reunite once a year.

But when he really wanted to go, Qi Ji would inevitably be a little nervous.

He had never had this experience before.

"Will I disturb everyone when I go?" Qi Ji hesitated, "and I didn't prepare any gifts..."

Pei Yusheng pointed his finger at the center of his raised eyebrows, and said, "If you can come here, it's the best gift."

Qi Ji touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassed, and then loosened the frown.

"I'm serious... It doesn't seem very good to come to the door empty-handed."

"I'll prepare the gift." Pei Yu said, "Don't worry too much. Why don't we go over there first, let me tell you who is in the family on the way?"

Xu Yunchi and the two made an appointment to go home at noon. It was almost noon, and it was time to leave.

Qi Ji nodded: "Okay."

The Xu family has a great career, and by the time of Xu Yunchi's generation, they have already accumulated huge wealth. It is said that the wealth is only three generations, but the Xu family has accumulated more and more deeply, and the assets of the Xinghai Group today are even more difficult to estimate.

Xu Yuncheng was the youngest in the ranking, with three older brothers. The second brother helped her manage Xinghai's financial administration, while the eldest and third took over the domestic and overseas markets of the Xu family's original industry, so you can imagine how busy they are.

This time the two of them came, and only Xu Yunchi's third brother, Pei Yusheng's third uncle, was at home. Both of Pei Yusheng's grandparents have passed away, and this time there are several cousins ​​in Xiangjiang. They are not too different in age from Pei Yusheng, and they call each other by name.

In addition, there is a cat in the main house of the Xu family who has been cared for as much as the owner.

When Qi Ji heard this, he remembered what Wen Chuming said: "Is it that big cat with a bad temper?"

He met Wen Chuming when he was saving Baibai Pangpang. At that time, the other party mentioned that the cat was raised by Aunt Xu, and he was very temperamental.

"bad temper?"

Pei Yusheng frowned. To be honest, because he had no interest in pets until he met the child, he didn't remember much about the cat.

He thought about it before saying, "I remember it was quite coddled, but it was cute when I was a child."

When was young, the kitten liked to rub people. When Pei's mother was away, it would come to rub against Pei Yusheng, so that although Pei Yusheng had no interest in cats at that time, he always remembered the touch of the kitten.

Later, when I first saw Qi Ji, who was drowsy and babbling because of the onset of the drug's effects, rubbing against him unconsciously, he also felt that the other party was like a little milk cat.

"I remember it was still in a childhood photo my mother sent me a few days ago. I'll look for it."

Pei Yusheng turned around and quickly found the photo.

"Look."

Qi Ji turned his head to look, and saw the young Mr. Pei in the photo sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window reading a book, with a bun-like kitten curled around his legs, round black eyes looking at the camera, longer than ordinary cats Some of the pointed ears are particularly agile.

"So cute!" Qi Ji exclaimed.

However, because the cat is too small, he did not recognize the breed of the kitten. Afraid of his motion sickness, Pei Yusheng didn't let him watch it, and quickly put his phone back: "I'll see you when I get home, don't worry."

Qi Ji's impression of this cat has changed again, becoming a cold and cute cat.

The car quickly drove to Repulse Bay, which is surrounded by mountains and sea, and the wide sea level can be seen directly from the room, and yachts can be parked in the bay downstairs. The environment is quite excellent.

The main residence of the Xu family is located near a bay. It occupies an extremely large area. Although it is not comparable to the area and furnishings of several top luxury villas in S City, the buildings here are also unique.

The car drove in from the main entrance and drove through the garden in front of the building. Qi Ji looked out the car window and felt that the place was quaint, showing the background behind the Xu family everywhere.

The two got out of the car, and the driver took out a dozen gift boxes from the trunk and followed them into the villa.

For the first time, Qi Ji was also a little nervous. He watched Pei Yusheng step forward and ring the doorbell, and then the camera in front of the door moved over and swept it around Pei Yusheng, and the door opened automatically.

"Come on." Pei Yusheng turned sideways and motioned for Qi Ji to enter the door, but before the two of them walked in, a huge black figure rushed over.

"Mi woo!"

Qi Ji glanced over and couldn't help but be stunned.

This is... a cat?

I saw a tall and sturdy big cat standing at the door more than one meter long, staring at the two people who entered the door. Like a big stick standing up.

It is more like a lion than a cat.

Pei Yusheng frowned and shielded the boy from behind him.

"It's okay, this is the Maine Coon cat that my mother kept. It's a little big, but it won't hurt anyone, don't be afraid."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw the boy behind him quietly stick his head out: "Is this a Maine Coon cat? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I didn't recognize it from the photos before..."

Rather than being afraid, the boy's tone was more like an unconcealed excitement.

"I've always wanted to touch the Maine Coon, its big tail is so beautiful!"

Adult Maine Coon cats are larger in size, especially the long tail. With thick hair, its tail is almost bigger than a human's. The legs are thicker.

Before Pei Yusheng could say anything, the big cat walked over slowly.

It turned a blind eye to Pei Yusheng, but instead went straight to Qi Ji, raised his head and looked at him with a pair of beautiful cat eyes.

The Maine Coon is very large and has a wild face. Although it is a little more delicate than a lion and leopard, it still makes people a little nervous when looking at people with such vertical pupils.

Even the boy who wanted to touch the cat's tail just now became quiet.

Pei Yusheng noticed the tension in the atmosphere. He was about to take the boy behind him into the living room, but saw the big cat walking around gracefully, forcing the boy who was standing behind him to move forward unconsciously. one step.

"Hello." Pei Yusheng frowned and said to the big cat, "Get up, don't scare the guests."

The big cat didn't even look at him, but continued to stare at Qi Ji, using his tall body to force the boy to step back.

In just a few seconds, Qi Ji was forced into the living room, several steps away from Pei Yusheng.

Pei Yusheng clicked his tongue, if it wasn't for the cat raised by his mother, he would have thrown it out long ago.

He took two steps forward and was about to drive the big cat away when he saw the big cat forced the boy to sit on the sofa, and then it jumped on the sofa and walked over...

wrapped around the boy's waist.

Pei Yusheng: "..."

The boy was also stunned, but he never felt the cat's malice, so he didn't worry much. Seeing this, he just paused, then looked down at his waist.

"Sir," he raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "look at its long tail, it's so pretty."

Pei Yusheng felt a little sour.

Lost in not having a big tail.

Before he could digest the sourness, the big cat that wrapped the man with its tail moved again. When it usually stood up, it was half the height of a man. Now that the tail is wrapped around the man, it does not affect the movement, and directly lifts its upper body. He took a wonderful fresh bag from the tray beside the sofa and put it in Qi Ji's arms.

Qi Ji asked carefully, "Do you want me to help you take it apart?"

He opened the Miao Xian Bao and handed it to the big cat, but the big cat didn't move. Instead, he cupped his hand with the tip of his nose, and pushed the Miao Xian Bao to Qi Ji's mouth.

He made it clear that he wanted to feed Qi Ji.

Qi Ji was stunned for a while, then pointed to himself: "Give me something to eat?"

The big cat stared at him closely, and pushed Qi Ji's hand holding the Miao Xian Bao with its head. Seeing that Qi Ji couldn't move, it simply stretched out its front paws and pressed the boy's shoulder, like licking the fur of a kitten. . licked the boy's jaw.

Qi Ji couldn't help laughing: "Itchy..."

He is usually ticklish, and his skin is thin. When a man touches his neck, he can't help but tremble slightly. Although the big cat's movements were very light, it still made him laugh.

Before he could finish laughing, his body suddenly lightened.

The dark-faced Pei Yusheng couldn't bear it any longer, he pinched the soft fur on the back of the big cat and picked it up.

"Get up." The blue veins on his forehead jumped slightly, and he spoke sternly to the big cat, "This is not your cub."
