Deluge - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22]

Pei Yu was obviously in a hurry. After sending the WeChat voice, before Xu Juan could type a reply, his second call came in again.

Xu Juan couldn’t hang up anymore, so he had to take his mobile phone and go outside to pick it up.

Compared with the noise in the box, the corridor is much quieter.

Xu Juan hurried into the bathroom and connected the phone before the bell went off.

“Xu Juan, where are you?” Pei Yu’s voice was angry, “I hurried home as soon as I was done, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I was surprised by you! Didn’t you say sleep? Where did you go to sleep?! Why did you lie to me?”

“…”

Xu Juan took the phone away, and only brought it back to her ear when Pei Yu finished getting angry.

To be honest, the person who taught him this tone last time was his dad.

“I didn’t mean to lie to you.” Xu Juan lied and didn’t write a draft. “I have a job, and I’m socializing outside. I can’t go back until later. I’m afraid you’ll think too much.”

“Really?” Pei Yu didn’t believe it, ” Didn’t you say you’re not busy with your work? You don’t go to work often, so what is there to socialize so late? And why is it so coincidental, you don’t socialize once when I’m at home, and you’ll be in trouble when I’m not at home?”

Xu Juan: “…”

Teacher Pei is usually stupid, as simple as a blank sheet of paper, why is he so smart at critical moments?

But it may not be a question of being smart or not.

The first time he and Pei Yu met was because of Tang Sisi. He left a very bad impression on Pei Yu that time. Later, he finally used the excuses of “entertainment” and “unavoidable” to whitewash himself, and Pei Yu believed it.

It’s not long now that things have passed, and when it comes to entertainment, Pei Yu will inevitably think in that direction.

Of course, his association was correct.

But Xu Juan can’t tell the truth, their sweet love has just begun, Xu Juan hasn’t enjoyed enough, how can he end it?

“You think too much.” Xu Juan sighed quite realistically, “I knew you would think crooked, so I didn’t dare to tell you, I didn’t expect you to come back today… You have to give me more trust, Pei Yu, of course I should also trust you, you are not such an unreasonable person, I should tell the truth.”

Pei Yu didn’t answer, Xu Juan didn’t know if he believed him, and said, “Will you wait for me for a while? Go home immediately.”

Pei Yu still didn’t speak, just hung up the phone.

“…”

Xu Juan stared at the “call ended” prompt on the screen for a few seconds, as if a pound of cement had been poured into his heart, which was heavy and chaotic, suppressing his usual ease.

Frankly speaking, he has been wandering for so many years, and today is the first time he has been checked.

Not to mention just coming out to play cards, even if you keep one at home and sleep another one outside, what can you do? It’s not that he didn’t do it before, and the lover at that time didn’t dare to say anything when he knew it, because the lover was just a lover, and he was not qualified to take care of things.

But he and Pei Yu didn’t have such a relationship.

Pei Yu fell in love with him wholeheartedly, not for his benefit, but just liked him, which made him particularly enjoy.

But everything has two sides. The relationship is not enough, but it is free. Although love is beautiful and pure, it requires him to take responsibility and enclose him in a fixed small space, and he can no longer see the outside scenery.

–Responsible.

For Xu Juan, what is taken for granted in the eyes of others is a “sacrifice”.

He really likes Pei Yu, but is it worth sacrificing freedom for Pei Yu?

Xu Juan stayed in the bathroom for a while, these complicated thoughts flashed by, but he didn’t calculate the result.

He is an emotional person, how to be happy how to do, the happiest way is naturally the best of both worlds, “freedom” and “Pei Yu” he wants both.

Xu Juan and Guo Shao said hello and left early.

Before leaving, he simply took a shower in the guest room with the bathroom in this clubhouse, put on the clothes that the waiter helped him re-prepare for, and made sure that there was no woman’s perfume on his body, nor any other traces that should not be there. , just drove home.

About half an hour’s drive, Xu Juan called Pei Yu on the road, but Pei Yu didn’t answer.

When he got home, just after twelve o’clock on the clock, Xu Juan parked the car in the garage, got out of the car and saw that the light in the living room was on. Is reading a book or in a daze.

Xu Juan pondered outside for a while before entering.

“I’m back.” He put on his slippers, walked into the living room, and said deliberately, “Mr. Pei? Hello, is Mr. Pei at home?”

“…”

Pei Yu was reading, but Xu Juan stared at him for a long time, but he disappeared. He turned the pages, obviously not looking carefully.

Xu Juan walked to the sofa and sat down beside Pei Yu.

“Are you angry?” As usual, he stretched out his arms to hug Pei Yu’s waist, but Pei Yu was in a fit of anger when he suddenly closed the book and threw it directly on the coffee table.

“…” The

sound is not very loud, but the night is too quiet, and any discordant sounds are particularly abrupt. Xu Juan’s eyelids twitched, looking at Pei Yu’s indifferent expression, he didn’t speak for a few seconds.

Recently, Pei Yu has been too gentle with him, and he even forgot that Pei Yu was an iceberg that was not easy to approach at first.

But so what?

The iceberg has already melted, Pei Yu likes him, and all tigers with feelings are paper tigers.

“Don’t you believe me?” Xu Juan hugged him again, lying on Pei Yu’s shoulder and said slowly, “I didn’t do anything, I just went out the door. Considering your mood, I’m afraid you’ll be overly concerned. You didn’t tell the truth, why don’t you believe me, Pei Yu?”

“…”

Seeing that Pei Yu didn’t speak, Xu Juan asked knowingly: “What are you angry about? Do you think I did something bad without telling you?”

“Didn’t you do it?” The people I saw last time, have you hugged someone again, Tang Sisi’s type of little girl? Right?”

Xu Juan: “…”

It is said that women’s sixth sense is very effective, and men also have sixth sense. ?

Xu Juan smiled: “No, don’t wrong me.”

Pei Yu stared at him.

Xu Juan’s smile collapsed: “Okay, I’ll tell the truth. In fact, I didn’t work, I went out to play cards and drink. You don’t know, since we started dating, I’ve been with you every day, those buddies and friends from the past. They asked me to go out to a party, but I turned them all down and never went there. Because of this, they laughed at me behind my back, saying what I was…”

“What?”

“Wives are strictly controlled.”

“…”

Pei Yu looked embarrassed: “What nonsense are they talking about, I’m not a woman, how can I call it that?”

“That’s what it means.” Xu Juan said, “That’s why I thought, since you’re not at home tonight, I’m alone. It’s boring, why don’t you go and play cards with them.”

“Really?”

“Is that fake?”

Xu Juan grabbed Pei Yu’s hand and intertwined his fingers: “You can’t trust me so much, Mr. Pei, don’t you think? Am I such a bad person in your heart?”

“…No.” Pei Yu lowered his head, stared at their intertwined fingertips, and whispered, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s that I don’t have a clue, I I always feel that our progress is too fast, and my heart is not at ease.”

“You’ve already said this once.” Xu Juan said, “I’m still saying that, feelings and time have little to do with it. Love has been running for ten years, and there are many people who eventually part ways. There are countless people who fall in love at first sight, get married, get a certificate, and live a happy life. Besides, we’re not fast, aren’t we? Isn’t it good to be together when we see each other, get along well, and get to know each other slowly?”

Xu Juan leaned down and lay sleepily on Pei Yu’s legs. , yawned: “I understand why you are worried about me, we didn’t meet before, you don’t know my social circle and living environment, once I’m not under your nose, you can’t imagine what I would do, I don’t know who I’m playing with, I don’t know the character of the other party, whether they will lead me to do bad things… You don’t know anything, but I know you very well, I know where you work, and what you are busy with. You are surrounded by serious people.—This is the distrust caused by information asymmetry, am I right, Mr. Pei?”

“…” Pei Yu was stunned, thinking that it was indeed the case, “Then what should I do?”

“It’s easy!” Xu Juan got up from his lap, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him sweetly, “I’ll take you out to play, and let you know my friends, why? Like?”

“Is it convenient?” Pei Yu asked reservedly.

“Of course it’s convenient, you are my boyfriend, they all know it.”

“…”

The sentence “They all know” greatly satisfied Pei Yu, the shadows in his heart disappeared, and his face looked much better.

Xu Juan tentatively asked, “Then are you still mad at me?”

Pei Yu didn’t answer.

Xu Juan leaned back, fell on the back of the sofa, closed his eyes, pointed to his face and said, “Kiss the left when you are angry, kiss the right when you are not angry, and kiss the middle when you love me.”

He heard Pei Yu laugh, tight Then, a kiss landed on his lips.

“Love you.” Pei Yu said softly.
