Deluge - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39]

After apologizing and confessing, everyone was dumbfounded by crying. Xu Juan held Pei Yu tightly and did not let go, as if he could not live without Pei Yu.

He didn’t know how Pei Yu felt at this time. Maybe he remembered how arrogant he used to be. Compared with the way his face was thrown into the mud, he didn’t look like him anymore. Clothes, the truth is still in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will be soft-hearted; perhaps it is purely annoying, and under his all kinds of torture, he chose the most convenient compromise. In short, Xu Juan finally stayed.

Does this count as reconciliation? Xu Juan thought, maybe.

He was ill and almost fainted after crying. Pei Yu poured him a cup of hot water and let him sit on the sofa and drink slowly.

He held the water glass in both hands, and when he was drinking, Pei Yu packed his things without saying a word.

The obstructing boxes scattered on the ground, the broken mobile phone, and the shoe cabinet that was pulled crooked at the door are all traces of their quarrel just now.

Now that the storm is over, the house is quiet again.

Xu Juan had cried so hard just now that he had not recovered his strength. He looked dull and stared blankly at the water glass. Although he was drinking water, his attention was on the sound of Pei Yu’s footsteps.

Pei Yu was cleaning the room.

Xu Juan heard the sound of him unpacking the box, and then he took out the books in the box one by one, moved them into the study, and arranged them one by one.

First the study, then the bedroom. After everything was set up, Pei Yu entered the bathroom, and when he came out, Xu Juan looked up and saw that there were not obvious water stains on his forehead, probably washing his face.

While he was packing his things, Xu Juan paid attention.

Pei Yu didn’t seem to separate the clothes, and their clothes were all moved into the master bedroom. Xu Juan thought, Pei Yu should have forgiven him, but there is a gap of 108,000 miles between “forgive” and “return to sweetness”, and it is difficult to restore the mirror with cracks.

Xu Juan understood, but was a little overwhelmed.

Pei Yu seemed to suddenly become taciturn. He refused to show any more emotions, and did not admit “I forgive you”. Xu Juan was afraid that he would be wrong, but he thought about it, there was no need to think about it. It’s too complicated. If he didn’t still love him, how could Pei Yu step back?

Xu Juan’s mood finally improved.

As soon as he was in a good mood, his brain took in oxygen again, and he regained his senses. He said to Pei Yu with hindsight, “Do you want me to help?”

Pei Yu just entered the kitchen and said no.

Xu Juan thought that he thought he couldn’t cook: “I can help you wash the vegetables.”

Pei Yu said, “No more cooking, trouble.”

“Oh.” Xu Juan thought about it, what would you eat without cooking? Cook noodles?

may be.

He took the night medicine on time with hot water. The cold medicine has a hypnotic effect, or maybe he was tired from crying. He took off his shoes and lay sleepy on the sofa. He was half asleep when he heard the phone ring.

Xu Juan reached out to touch the coffee table and fished out the phone. Looking at the caller ID, it turned out to be Xu Qingguang.

“Sister, what’s the matter?”

Xu Qingguang was stunned to judge how a person’s spirit was from his voice, and said to the ghost: “What are you doing? Haven’t eaten enough for the past few days? Why are you half-dead? ”

…”

Isn’t it half-dead, but Xu Juan didn’t want the whole world to see his embarrassed appearance, so he cheered up and said, “No, I have a cold, why are you looking for me?”

Xu Qingguang didn’t think much about it: ” Why don’t you do it, I’ll take care of you, how are you doing outside? Are you mixing oil with your little lover’s honey? You feel like a kidney deficiency when you talk.”

Xu Juan: “…”

He looked up, Pei Yu I don’t know when I walked out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of noodles, standing in front of him and giving him a glance.

Xu Juan was a little embarrassed. He didn’t want to tell Xu Qingguang the truth, and he was embarrassed to agree in front of Pei Yu, boasting about how good their relationship was.

Xu Juan walked to the bathroom with his slippers, and as soon as the door was closed, he avoided Pei Yu and said, “No, whoever has kidney deficiency said that I have a cold. What are you looking for? Tell me directly.”

Of course there is something, otherwise His sister was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Xu Qingguang said: “Dad and Mom had a fight that day. Dad said you were spoiled, but Mom didn’t admit it. She said it wasn’t what she was used to, and the son did not teach his father’s fault. He should settle the account with the father, but Dad couldn’t argue. , go back and discuss with the elder brother, he feels that he still has to take care of you, save a few years when he and his mother are old, and if you leave early, you will be completely ignored.”

“…”

Xu Juan was silent for a while . , Xu Qingguang suddenly sighed: “You are twenty-six, Xu Juan, the virtual age is twenty-seven, not seventeen, each year goes by so fast, our father is sixty years old, the person who should retire, Still on the front line, do you think it’s easy for him? He is so busy every day, he goes abroad every day, and he lives on the plane every day with a bunch of old bones. Do you have a good conscience?”

“I’m sorry.” Xu Juan’s apology was very rare, Xu Qingguang was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, and heard him again, “What does Dad want to do with me? You told him not to worry, I’m thinking about it now. As a company, let him give me a little time, if it doesn’t work this time, I will go home honestly and not toss.”

“Really?”

“Well.”

“…”

Xu Qingguang faintly felt that something was wrong with her brother , It seems that a core has been replaced, not me.

When something went wrong, she was a little worried: “Xu Juan, what’s wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?”

“It’s alright, don’t you be surprised? You’re not allowed to make a change?” Xu Juan hurriedly asked Said, “I’m going to eat, I’m hanging up.”

But when the phone hung up, Xu Juan didn’t go out to eat immediately.

Standing in front of the sink, he buried his head and flushed a handful of cold water to flush the tears from his eyes, but after washing for a long time, there were still hot tears pouring out desperately, and he couldn’t stop it.

Xu Juan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind him, and Pei Yu’s voice was separated by a door, and there was no warmth: “The noodles are full.”

“…”

Xu Juan responded, and finally washed his face, wiped dry, and pushed the door. out.

…

Just a few hours ago, Xu Juan thought that after reconciliation, everything would be fine.

But now he found that once the emotional balance between the two was broken, the one who did the wrong thing first would always be in the wrong, and would always belong to the weaker party, and could no longer take the initiative.

He and Pei Yu sat face to face eating noodles. He was in a low mood, and because he had a cold and anorexia, he couldn’t swallow after only a few mouthfuls of noodles.

He put down his chopsticks, and Pei Yu looked up.

Xu Juan didn’t know how to interpret this look. It seemed to be an accusation, accusing him of being picky eaters, leftovers, or something else. In short, it didn’t feel very good.

He had to pick up the chopsticks and continue to eat, but the more he ate, the more he wanted to vomit. Xu Juan made himself sick. He lowered his head, and his face was almost buried in the bowl. With one hand, Pei Yu took his bowl, slammed it, and threw the noodles into the trash can by the table.

“Don’t eat if you don’t want to, I forced you?” Pei Yu said with a gun and a stick.

“…”

Xu Juan put down his chopsticks, like a robot without electricity, his movements were slow, and he slowly picked up the water glass and took a sip.

He was silent, his often smiling face pale and silent.

Pei Yu had already left, and took the two sets of tableware to the kitchen. Xu Juan heard the sound of washing dishes. He was stunned for a while, pretending that nothing happened, and lowered his head to fiddle with his mobile phone.

The mobile phone is an entertainment tool, Xu Juan felt that he urgently needed a little entertainment, otherwise he would be depressed.

He looked through the circle of friends and found nothing to entertain him.

At first glance, it seems that everyone is living a good life, and everyone’s life is colorful and interesting. In fact, Guo Shao, Hou Shijie and others have contacted him these days to inquire about him, but he eloped with his boyfriend at the birthday banquet. The romance was earth-shattering, and he turned his head and turned into such a dead appearance. How could he have the nerve to let others know?

So on the pretext of being busy with work and being in love, I pushed all the invitations away.

Now he’s sick and mourned—mostly mourning, but it’s not really that serious. He really wants to go out and play cards and relax like he used to, but it’s obviously impossible, unless he can pretend that nothing has happened, and no one will notice what’s on his mind. Come.

Of course, he also has no money to play cards, which is the most deadly.

Xu Juan remembered the phone call with Xu Qingguang just now.

He knew what his father meant by “take care of him”. A few days ago, when he had an affair with Li Mengzhou, his father mentioned it once and wanted to assign a capable person under his own to his company. Call him to assist him, to put it bluntly, and help him clean up the mess.

But Xu Juan is now at the tip of the bull’s horn. He wants to do something with his own abilities. Even if he hits the south wall, he has to hit it again and again.

At that time, even if you get hit and die, you can’t blame others.

——Including this relationship between him and Pei Yu.

That night, the two took a bath one after another, and Xu Juan leaned on the bedside and played with his mobile phone after washing.

He was chatting with Hou Shijie. Hou Shijie had a two-hundred-fifth temperament on his body, which made him very active. Xu Juan suppressed a whole night, and finally showed a little smile. When he looked up, Pei Yu had finished washing and was standing at the door of the bedroom, coldly look at him.

“…” Xu Juan’s smile froze on his face, he didn’t know how he offended Pei Yu again.

He found that Pei Yu hated him completely now. Although he reconciled with him, he didn’t want to make him happy at all. They became a pair of grudges.

whose fault is it? It’s him.

He has no right to be dissatisfied.

Xu Juan put down the phone, and after Pei Yu went to bed, he took the initiative to touch Pei Yu’s hand.

“Mr. Pei.” He called softly, “Can I hug you?”

Pei Yu said nothing.

Xu Juan hooked his fingers, stuck it sticky under the quilt, and hugged Pei Yu tightly.

No matter how much estrangement there is in their hearts, at the moment of hugging after turning off the lights, it seems as if there are only the two of them left between the heaven and the earth. Whether it is love or hate, it is their own business and has nothing to do with the whole world.

Xu Juan suddenly felt better.

But Pei Yu was like a stiff statue, only giving him a silent back, until he fell asleep, Pei Yu didn’t look back.
