Deluge - Chapter 24

[Chapter 24]

Today’s party is similar to Xu Juan and the others. They eat first, and then arrange other activities after the meal.

But before coming here this time, Xu Juan specially reminded Hou Shijie that he brought Pei Yu here today, not to call the mess.

Hou Shijie understood him and understood him as soon as he heard it, but he didn’t understand why he cared about Pei Yu so much. Is this university teacher really special?

Hou Shijie, like Guo Shao, is also a pure heterosexual and cannot understand what good men are.

He kept muttering in his heart, and couldn’t help asking Xu Juan: “Brother, you won’t come for real, are you?”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Xu Juan said on the phone, “Take care of yourself.”

“… Hou Shijie was sprayed all over his face, and he was shocked. He thought, even if this reaction is not true, it is 70% true. His cousin may not know there is an old saying that ”

everyone who drowns knows water”.

But he didn’t dare to say this to Xu Juan even if he had a hundred courage.

As soon as the phone hung up, Hou Shijie asked someone to go.

And Xu Juan went to work for one day, and was called by his mother to teach him several times. If it weren’t for the gentle and considerate teacher Pei to chat with him on WeChat, he would not be in a good mood all day.

In order to prevent another accident, Xu Juan cleaned up the chat history on the phone, and deleted everything that should be deleted.

In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Xu Juan drove to pick up Pei Yu.

When he arrived at Hongda, Pei Yu had already come out and was waiting for him at the intersection of the south gate of the school.

University is different from high school. Not everyone leaves school at the same time, and those who have no class in the afternoon leave early.

It’s a little late now, there are few pedestrians at the school gate, Pei Yu is standing by the roadside alone, Xu Juan’s car is parked in front of him: “Wait for me for a long time?”

Pei Yu sat in the co-pilot and smiled at him: “No, soon , shall we go to dinner now?”

“Well, let’s go directly, are you hungry?”

“It’s okay.” Pei Yu’s eyes fell on Xu Juan, and suddenly said, “You suit a suit. When we first met, what you wore was the same as what you are wearing now. Almost at the time, I thought, you are very—”

Pei Yu thought about his words: “Like the playboy in the movie, he is personable and looks good in anything, but wearing a suit is very stylish.”

“…” Xu Juan Slightly taken aback, he didn’t expect that he would have such an image in his eyes, “Is this your first impression of me, Mr. Pei?”

“Yes, I thought you didn’t look like a good person at the time.”

Xu Juan: “…”

You see it right.

Xu Juan smiled mysteriously, and personally helped Pei Yu fasten his seat belt, then turned around and set off towards the agreed place.

…

Today, they had an appointment at Wanju Building. This hotel is characterized by being expensive. Except for dignitaries and celebrities, ordinary people can’t afford it.

Although compared with those high-end clubs with all kinds of tricks, the level of luxury here is not the first grade, but its overall positioning is biased towards business. A place that is both upscale and serious.

Xu Juan and Pei Yu didn’t come too early. Xu Juan was a familiar face. In Hongcheng, he could brush his face all over the city. As soon as he entered the lobby, a waiter would guide him and respectfully send them to the door of the box.

During this period, Pei Yu’s expression was not very relaxed, Xu Juan was very keen, and faintly felt that he was observing himself.

“What’s wrong?” After the waiter left, Xu Juan stood at the door and couldn’t help asking him, “You don’t seem to be happy? Don’t you like it here, Pei Yu?”

“No.” Pei Yu shook his head.

“Then what happened to you?”

“…”

The lights in the hotel corridor were so bright that it could be called brilliant. Pei Yu’s face was painted with a warm tone. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took Xu Juan’s hand and said frankly, “I sometimes feel that I know you very well. , Sometimes I feel that it is a little far away from you…for example just now.”

“Just now?” Xu Juan was very puzzled, he didn’t do anything just now.

Pei Yu lowered his head, held his hand tightly, and said nothing. This is a restrained look, as if there are thousands of subtle emotions beyond words, Xu Juan stared at him for a while, and suddenly understood.

From their acquaintance until now, it has been Xu Juan unilaterally rushing to and fro in Pei Yu’s world. Pei Yu has never entered his world, and today is the first time.

Aside from their feelings, they are actually two completely different people, living in two worlds with different latitudes. Everything Xu Juan is used to is very unfamiliar to Pei Yu, but the unfamiliar environment is not enough to affect his mood, so He felt a sense of distance from the other side of Xu Juan that he had never seen before inadvertently revealed in this environment.

Pei Yu’s heart suddenly froze.

Not all insecurities in love come from doubts. He didn’t have enough confidence to hold Xu Juan firmly, so he couldn’t feel at ease.

But this kind of thinking itself is illusory and unfounded, so it is impossible to say it in detail.

Pei Yu felt that he was too sensitive. Xu Juan did nothing and did nothing wrong. He said such inexplicable things for no reason, which would add psychological burden to Xu Juan.

“I don’t mean anything else.” Pei Yu pursed his lips and said with a bit of difficulty, “You just treat me… I like you too much, Xu Juan, sorry.”

He pretended to smile naturally: “I I ‘m a little nervous.”

“…Don’t be nervous.”

Pei Yu is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions, how could Xu Juan not understand?

Xu Juan was in a complicated mood, and indeed felt a psychological burden, but it was not the kind of burden he thought.

Xu Juan took his hand out of his, and hugged him with his back: “If you’re not happy, let’s go back, we won’t eat here .

”

A voice came: “Hey, what’s the matter, Mr. Xu? Why don’t you go in, what are you whispering here?”

Xu Juan let go of Pei Yu and looked back, it was Guo Shao.

Guo Shao didn’t come alone today. He brought a valet behind him. It was a young girl, wearing a little purple dress, with long black hair. She was beautiful, and she looked even more beautiful with good makeup.

Xu Juan recognized it. This was Guo Shao’s cousin, Yue Xuelin, the fiancée his mother found for him.

Xu Juan frowned. Seeing that his face changed, with an expression like he was about to get angry, Guo Shao quickly winked, saying that he was wronged. This was a “political task” arranged by his family, and he didn’t mean to cheat him. .

Xu Juan was silent.

Guo Shao was a little embarrassed: “Let’s go first, and we’ll talk after dinner.”

Xu Juan couldn’t directly refute his face, but Xu Juan could feel the emotions of the people around him – Pei Yu didn’t need him to explain, it was already in these few seconds In the silent eye contact, I understood their “script”, and my emotions became more tense.

Xu Juan was speechless for a while, he took Pei Yu’s hand, silently pushed open the door, and entered the box.
