Chapter 83: Extra Story 1: The reason for the blushing

A man and a cat were confronting each other in the living room when a surprised female voice came from a corner of the living room.

"Xiao Qi, are you back?"

It was Xu Yunchi who came out of the corridor. She was wearing a long aqua blue dress today. The water on the skirt was swaying, which was very moving. She was looking over with a smile.

The two of them on the sofa looked up at her, and before they could say hello, the big cat in Pei Yusheng's hands broke free, jumped back on the sofa, and sat with Qi Ji.

Seeing this, Xu Yunchi smiled and said, "It seems that Xiaobudian likes Xiaoqi very much."

Pei Yusheng's forehead jumped: "It's so small, it's too heavy to carry."

Qi Ji, who was sitting in a row with the big cat, raised his head obediently and greeted Xu Yunchi, "Aunt Xu."

"Hey." Xu Yunchi replied with a smile, and asked, "How does it feel to be here?"

Qi Ji looked at her smile, blushed slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "It's good, it's very comfortable here."

Pei Yusheng looked at the tip of the boy's reddish ears, and was about to say something, when he saw that the arrogant big cat moved his huge figure in Qi Ji's direction again, leaving no gap.

It just so happened that Xu Yunchi also said: "It's good to adapt, come and sit."

Pei Yusheng: "..."

Where is he sitting?

Originally, the long row of sofas was quite spacious, enough for four or five people to sit side by side, but when the big cat was just bluffing, Qi Ji sat on the edge of the sofa, and now he was on the outside of Qi Ji again, covering the boy tightly. , As a result, Pei Yusheng couldn't sit next to Qi Ji at all, and could only see people across the cat.

Moreover, the big cat still looks fearless. With Mama Pei around, it can't carry it and can't walk, and can't scold it. In the end, Pei Yusheng could only go around to the other sofa beside Qi Ji and sit down.

When he was seated, Qi Ji was stroking the long tail around his waist, and the big tail took the initiative to spread the tip of the tail in his palm, and when it was touched, it shook the tip of the tail, which was very comfortable.

When he felt satisfied, he looked up and saw the unsightly look of the man beside him.

Qi Ji was stunned: "Sir?"

Pei Yusheng reluctantly looked away from the long favored tail, with a bad expression on his face: "I remember this cat."

Although he hasn't come home many times in recent years, this cat often follows Pei's mother...B city both sides of the river, and Pei Yusheng has seen it a few times.

"It always wanted to push me out of position before, and it also liked to grab what I had in my hand."

Before, Pei Yusheng just didn't care, but it wasn't that he didn't remember.

"I suspect it's targeting me."

Now that new and old grudges are accumulating together, Pei Yusheng begins to scold one by one.

"And last time, Mom made a new plate of egg tarts for me to bring to the living room. I went two steps late, and I didn't see it, and the egg tart was already licked by it."

Pei Yusheng complained expressionlessly: "I also licked the egg tart core specifically. I licked the four egg tarts one after the other. After licking the sweetest and softest part, I ran away, and the other parts didn't move at all."

...I didn't expect cats to eat like this.

Qi Ji couldn't help laughing, reached out and patted Pei Yusheng's arm lightly to help people feel good: "The cat's target is actually because it likes you and wants to attract your attention."

The two were talking when Xu Yunchi, who was beside him, took out the nail clippers and called the big cat over, "Come here, little one, I'll cut your nails for you."

Just in case, she still intends to help the big cat trim its claws so that it does not scratch people.

The big cat was quite well-behaved in front of Mother Pei, and was ready to go as soon as his name was called. However, because the place where Pei's mother and Qi Ji were sitting was a little far away, the big cat had to let Qi Ji go when he left, so it first took a few pillows, surrounded Qi Ji tightly, and hid him. , then got off the sofa and went to Xu Yunchi's side.

But when its long tail was released from the man's waist, and as soon as he turned around, Pei Yusheng, who had endured for a long time, fished him out and pulled him to the sofa on his side.

Before Qi Ji could react, someone reached out to help tidy up the hem of his clothes, which was wrinkled by the long tail. He was about to say that it was all right, but the man held his hand.

"I don't want to pay attention to it." Pei Yu said, "I just want to be liked by you."

Qi Ji's warm fingers were held by him and squeezed lightly. The man's body temperature passed along the palm of his hand, slightly hot.

It was so hot all the way into my heart.

It was almost noon when the two arrived at the main house. Although only Xu Yunchi, who arrived first, was at home, other people came back one after another after a while.

There are two cousins ​​and three cousins ​​on Pei Yusheng, but this time, only the second sister and the eldest brother and the second brother are in the country. After the three returned home, they greeted Pei Yusheng and Qi Ji in turn. They were all typical water village appearances, and their personalities were also gentle and polite, very similar to Pei's mother.

Qi Ji and the three of them met with a sigh of relief and breathed a sigh of relief. Although it's nothing good and nervous, this is the first time we've met. He was called over temporarily, and he wasn't well-prepared. It wasn't until he had contact with someone that he relaxed a little under the gentle treatment of the other party.

It's just that he didn't expect that after saying hello, the three people said that they were going to the kitchen to find refreshments, but as soon as they turned around, Qi Ji heard them discussing excitedly in dialect mixed with English: "Ni Xilu is so proud of himself. what!"

"SO CUTE! What a handsome boy~"

Although they deliberately lowered their voices, they could still hear clearly with Qi Ji's keen senses.

He took over the work here when he was outsourcing, and the dialect here can be understood a little. But even if he doesn't understand, he should understand the meaning of CUTE (cute).

Qi Ji was at a loss, and subconsciously looked at the man beside him. The other party obviously heard the movement behind him, and agreed: "It's very cute."

Qi Ji frowned, "Sir..."

Seeing that the boy was really cramped, Pei Yusheng rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't be nervous, everyone likes you very much."

This matter, Pei Yusheng has known from a long time ago.

In college, in order to help Qi Ji take the initiative to place a high-priced girl, he took the initiative to take care of his colleagues during his internship, and even the always picky LINA gave Qi Ji special treatment, not to mention the girl who went out of her way to save him regardless of the consequences. Zhang Wu...

Going back even earlier, there was He Xiu who treated people as his own younger brother.

Who doesn't like such a good boy?

Everyone likes Qi Ji very much.

"Don't worry." Pei Yusheng told him patiently, "It's normal, don't be afraid."

Only then did Qi Ji's tense heartstrings relax a little.

He is still slowly learning how to accept the kindness of others.

Lunch was set at a nearby restaurant with a sea view on the top floor. The group simply packed up and set off. This restaurant is best known for its authentic local refreshments, and despite the high prices, it is still packed every day.

Especially the best viewing location on the top floor, if the Xu family had not had a gold card, this location would have to be booked at least a month or two in advance.

When the order was finished and the dishes were served, the last member of the Xu family in China, Xu Yunchi's third brother, Xu Yunming, finally arrived.

The Xu family has been passed down for a long time, and they pay more attention to it. When it came to Xu Yunchi's generation, the Xu family used the word "to become famous", and the three sons were named Xu Yungong, Xu Yuncheng, and Xu Yunming. Although the youngest Xu Yunchi was a girl, but because he was well-loved, he also entered the generation of "cloud". It was only because the sound of "ji" was not pleasant to name the little girl that he changed the name to Xu Yunchi.

Qi Ji had read a lot of news about the family in the book given by LINA before, and heard Pei Yusheng adding a lot of information before coming here, so he was familiar with the Xu family, and when he saw Uncle Xu, he respectfully met with people Good question.

However, it was only after meeting the real person that Qi Ji truly realized the unique temperament of the Xu family.

Although they have different personalities, they all give people the same feeling, and with the same age-defying appearance, people can recognize that this is the Xu family at a glance.

Compared with Uncle Xu, Chairman of Xinghai, whom Qi Ji had met before, Uncle Xu gave him a milder feeling. Xu Yunming wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He was gentle and gentle. He didn't look like a businessman, but more like a university professor.

As soon as he saw Qi Ji, he gave him a gift.

"The first time we met, I didn't quite know what you liked."

Xu Yunchi's tone was gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze.

It's just what he said that made it hard to calm down.

"I'll send you a cruise ship, which can sail for eight months a year. It will be parked in Xujiawan during maintenance, and there will be a special person in charge." He said lightly, "This cruise ship has two intercontinental routes and a global one. Route, when you are free, you can go out and play at any time."

The polite smile on Qi Ji's face almost couldn't be stopped.

Although he has seen the wealth of Mr. Pei's family so many times, he can always be refreshed again and again.

What is the concept of a cruise ship that can sail around the world?

This kind of cruise ship can usually carry thousands of people. After Qi Ji paid off his debts, he once considered taking people out to play after his younger brother passed the college entrance examination. It costs seven or eight thousand yuan per person, and it is still only a four or five day trip.

At that time, Qi Ji felt that the price was too high, so she put the matter on hold.

As a result, now, he was directly gifted a private cruise ship.

Qi Ji was stunned.

In the end, the palm on his shoulder pulled back his consciousness, and the man standing beside him patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Go on, this is a gift from your uncle."

Pei Yusheng's tone was very indifferent, as if Xu Yunming didn't give him a giant cruise ship, but a small red envelope that he could easily wrap.

Apart from Pei Yusheng, the reactions of the others present were also very calm. Everyone should eat and chat, and their attitude was quite casual. No one was staring intently here, but it didn't make Qi Ji feel extra nervous.

It's as if this gift seems unusual to everyone.

In the end, Qi Ji could only bite the bullet and thank him, and took over what Xu Yunming took out: "Thank you, thank you."

What Uncle Xu handed over was a metal rudder, which looked quite delicate. A chip is embedded in the steering wheel, which records all the necessary information. Just like a car has a car key, this is the equivalent of a cruise ship key.

Seeing Qi Ji put away the things, Xu Yunming rolled his eyes and said, "You're so young, go out for a walk."

Qi Ji's chest seemed to be filled with something.

From childhood to adulthood, he had little experience of being cared for by his elders, but now, this shortcoming has been made up for by Mr. Pei's family.

Qi Ji nodded lightly: "I will, thank you uncle."

Seaview Restaurant serves fast food. Although they are all made to order, because of the principle of giving priority to customers with gold cards, it didn't take long for the huge dining table to be filled with meals.

The South is fond of sweets, and the dishes are quite sophisticated. This meal has a lot of sweet things, and a lot of fresh seafood, just looking at it is a feast for the eyes.

When Qi Jitou came back to Xiangjiang, he didn't know much about southern food before, so everything was fresh. It's just that he couldn't compare to Pei Yusheng's hands. After the meal was served, Qi Ji's meal cup was no longer empty, and all the meals Pei Yusheng brought him were in front of him.

Qi Ji couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and with Xu Yunchi watching with a smile beside him, he was even more embarrassed, and quickly wanted to come by himself.

Before Pei Yusheng said anything, Xu Yunchi said, "It's alright, let Yu Sheng come, do the best of the landlord's friendship, and introduce these dishes."

She knew that her son was worried that his lover would be nervous if he was not used to eating this kind of dish for the first time, so he took the initiative to take over most of the work.

Although Qi Ji didn't know the reason, but Xu Yunchi said it, he didn't refuse again.

The family chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After a while, Pei Yusheng's cell phone rang, he glanced at the number, apologized, and walked out first.

As soon as Pei Yusheng's seat was vacated, next to him were three cousins ​​of the same age. Taking advantage of this opportunity to chat together, they also chatted with Qi Ji.

Don't just see that Qi Ji will be nervous because of his first visit. In fact, the Xu family is only more curious about Qi Ji. Take these cousins ​​as an example, they never thought that their family had no interest in the movie star tender model since childhood, and even the blind date arranged by the Pei family could be messed up again and again. His cousin, he took the subject back home without a word.

He also used such a solemn tone.

When introduced it to family at the time, Pei Yusheng was not talking about a boyfriend or a lover.

"This is someone I want to spend the rest of my life with," he said.

So although the three of them were curious, they spoke in a measured manner, and they chatted harmoniously.

While chatting, Qi Ji suddenly remembered something.

This time, he only listened to Mr. Pei's introduction about the three cousins ​​and the two cousins, but he didn't hear him mention the previous cousin.

At the beginning, Qi Ji lived in the Rose Villa, and the furnishings and clothes in the room were complete. Later, Qi Ji was short of formal clothes, and Pei Yusheng also provided him with a lot of clothes. At that time, Pei Yusheng said that he had a cousin who was similar to Qi Ji in stature, age, and preferences.

But this time, Qi Ji didn't see anything related to that cousin at all.

The Xu family's peers were older than Pei Yusheng's, and none of them were similar in size to Qi Ji. Qi Ji felt puzzled, so he asked the question, but when the three heard it, they all looked at each other.

"Cousin? Where is the cousin? No one here is younger than Yu Sheng."

Qi Ji remembered the well-prepared guest bedroom on the first floor of the Rose Villa, and the cat doll in the wardrobe of the guest bedroom that was the same style as Mr. Pei's bed, and added: "That cousin seems to have lived with Mr. Pei. ."

The expressions of the three of them were even more strange: "Live together? That's even more impossible."

Before Qi Ji asked them why they were so determined, Xu Yunchi, who heard a few people chatting, said, "Yu Sheng's sleep has never been very good, and he can't accept the slightest movement while sleeping, so he never allows others to approach at night. During the three years he enlisted in the army, he lived alone for a long time before."

When Qi Ji heard this, he turned his head and asked, "When Mr. Pei was in the Rose Villa, did no one live with him?"

Xu Yunchi answered naturally, "No."

She said: "That property was bought by the Pei family in City S, but because the Pei family is in City B, it was actually vacant before, and it was only after Yu Sheng arrived in City S that he moved in."

Qi Ji was at a loss for words.

Xu Yunchi noticed his reaction and asked, "What's wrong?"

The more Qi Ji thought about it, the more confused it became, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing where to start. But Xu Yunchi looked at his expression, but took the initiative to ask: "Did Yu Sheng give you some things, and then said that these are things that are borrowed from cousins ​​and are not very valuable?"

Qi Ji was surprised: "Do you know about this?"

Xu Yunchi smiled: "I guess."

Qi Ji was at a loss, not knowing how to react: "This..."

Xu Yunchi blinked at him, and a faint smile appeared on his beautiful face: "Forgive him, who hasn't been careful when chasing a lover?"

Qi Ji also reacted at this time. But he couldn't bear the "forgiveness". He waved his hand and said, "No, no, Auntie, I don't mean to blame him..."

The two were talking when Pei Yusheng, who had finished the phone call, walked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yunchi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just chatting."

Pei Yusheng looked down at Qi Ji, touched the child's ears with his long, warm fingers, and asked, "Is it hot? Why are the ears so red?"

Qi Ji stretched out his hand, covered the place he had just touched, and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xu Yunchi smiled again when she heard the words. Her smile made the boy's face even redder.

Pei Yusheng looked at them thoughtfully. However, the restaurant soon began to pick up large items, and he did not ask any further questions.

After dinner, the Xu Yunchi brothers and sisters were going to work, and the afternoon became the time for young people. The group of five went to the Xiangjiang Amusement Park, drank afternoon tea, watched the fireworks in the amusement park in the evening, and then boarded the Xu family's cruise ship for a walk.

After all, the Xiangjiang River is surrounded by the sea, and there are many more nighttime marine projects in the city than in S City. In addition, the Xu family started with a boat, and many projects on the cruise ship are amazing. The tour of just over an hour makes Dizzy, eye-opening.

By the time came back, it was past eleven o'clock. The two will live in the main house of the Xu family tonight, have a meal at home tomorrow, and then go to meet with the company team.

After getting off the cruise ship, Qi Ji had a deeper understanding of the cruise ship he had just owned. Although the day-to-day operations and why are still handed over to a special person, Qi Ji does not need to handle it. But when I think of the vast ocean there will be a cruise ship of its own...

Qi Ji still felt like she was in a dream.

When the boy came back, he was in a trance all the way, but he gave Pei Yusheng a chance to successfully deceive the big cat that was staring at him when he left home during the day, and successfully brought Qi Ji back to his room on the second floor without being alarmed. The cat follows.

The two went back to the room to wash up. This is Pei Yusheng's room. There is a bay window beside the bed. Sitting on the bay window, you can see the sea directly.

Qi Ji first came out after washing up, sitting on the cushion of the bay window and looking out. The night was quiet, and the sound of the sea could be heard in the house.

After a while, Pei Yusheng, who had also taken a shower, came over with a glass of strawberry juice in his hand.

He handed the juice to the boy by the window, and when someone took the glass, he sat beside him, thoughtful.

Qi Ji sipped the fresh and sweet strawberry juice, blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Yusheng stared at him for a while, until he looked away in embarrassment, and then said, "Qiqi, why do you blush when you see my mother smiling? Is it because you're embarrassed?"

Although his approach would also make the boy shy, Pei Yusheng still wanted to figure out why he and others made the little boy blush.

Qi Ji obviously didn't expect the man to ask such a question. He was stunned for a while, until the empty cup in his hand was taken away, then he came back to his senses and hesitantly said, "Is there any?"

"Yes." Pei Yusheng affirmed.

Not only when he met people today, but Pei Yusheng remembered Xu Yunchi's first visit to Yuntu, and when Qi Ji saw her on the red carpet, he couldn't help but blushed.

The boy was a little speechless when asked, and when Pei Yusheng put the glass away and walked back, he was even more at a loss when he saw him move from the window to the bed.

Pei Yusheng didn't even think about asking anything, and when he saw it, he said, "Do you like her?"

He touched the boy's cool profile: "She likes you very much too."

Pei Yusheng knew that Qi Ji's mother was not very good-tempered. In fact, the child has always lacked the care of the elders. It is normal for him to be so close to the gentle mother Pei.

So Pei Yusheng just said that, telling Qi Ji that Pei's mother also likes him very much.

It's just that Pei Yusheng didn't expect it. The boy pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, but said, "Yes, it's because of Aunt Xu..."

He stumbled while speaking, and didn't look up: "...she looks like you when she laughs."

After speaking, Qi Ji turned his face to one side so that people could no longer see his expression.

Only Pei Yusheng was left standing stunned.

"...Qi Qi?"

Pei Yusheng asked in disbelief: "So you blushed because she looked like me when she smiled?"

"Then do you feel shy when you see me laughing? Huh?"

When Qi Ji was asked, his whole body was on fire, so he simply buried himself in the quilt and didn't answer him.

The man beside him was unrelenting and continued to talk.

"I thought you blushed because you didn't know how to get along with elders of the opposite sex."

"I didn't expect it was because of me."

"Qi Qi, so you like me so much."

Hearing the last sentence, Qi Ji, who was buried under the quilt and never said a word, finally said it in a low voice.

"I've always liked you."

His voice was very soft, and he was stuffed under the quilt, so it was hard to be heard. But after this sentence was finished, the surroundings became quiet, and there was no movement.

For a long time, Qi Ji, who hadn't heard the man's voice, finally couldn't help it, and quietly raised his head from the quilt.

As soon as he raised his head, his breathing was blocked again.

In the intertwined breath, there is still a little strawberry flavor that has not faded.

"Well……"

The cautious kitten finally raised his head tentatively from his nest and looked out.

Someone was waiting patiently outside, waiting for him to come out.

Accompany him to see all the splendor and travel all over the vast mountains and seas.
