Deluge - Chapter 9

[Chapter nine]

Xu Juan found that Pei Yu seemed to be frightened by him.

He made an affectionate confession on WeChat that day, and finally ended with “Can I chase you?” Pei Yu didn’t reply, and ignored him for the next few days. He reflected on it afterward, and it seemed that the dose was a little too much, and such a light and reserved person Pei Yu couldn’t take it.

This made Xu Juan a little regretful, not sure if his favorability value in Pei Yu’s heart had dropped to the bottom again.

Out of temptation, he sent Pei Yu good morning and good night every day at seven o’clock in the morning and ten o’clock in the evening. If Pei Yu didn’t return him, he could have a good time himself.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable – he couldn’t wake up at 7 o’clock at all. He could only open his eyes after setting the alarm clock. When the alarm clock rang, he opened WeChat to send a message, closed his eyes after sending it, and then went to sleep.

Why stick to seven o’clock?

Because after adding friends, he learned from the circle of friends that Pei Yu gets up at 6:30 every day to run, eat breakfast at 7:00, and live a healthy and regular life.

In order to get close to him, Xu Juan created a diligent character who goes to bed early and gets up early. A good image is good for extra points.

In this way, the hot relationship lasted for a week, Xu Juan didn’t get a response for a long time, his patience was exhausted, and he was ready to move on to the next step.

While he was thinking about how much medicine to take next, something unexpected happened the next morning.

Not a big deal, but a little embarrassing.

The reason is that last night, as usual, he spent the night in a nightclub with Guo Shao and the others, and went home to take a bath and sleep after four o’clock in the morning.

At seven o’clock, when the alarm clock rang, he habitually opened WeChat and sent a greeting to Pei Yu: “Good morning, Mr. Pei, what would you like to eat today?”

Xu Juan’s head was dizzy, and he couldn’t open his eyes when typing. Controlling his fingers with strong willpower, after pressing “send”, he threw the phone away and fell asleep again.

As a result, he never expected that Pei Yu would return to him: “It’s been more than a week, are you bored?”

Xu Juan didn’t see it, he slept until evening and found this news when he woke up.

His own message was sent out at 7:01, and this one was from 7:01. Five minutes later, seeing that he didn’t respond, Pei Yu sent another series of ellipses, probably because of his manipulation show – obviously it was you. In a hurry to talk to me, I replied mercifully, but you ignored me?

“…”

Xu Juan stared at WeChat for a long time, and said nonsense skillfully: “I’m sorry, there was a sudden emergency in the morning. I thought you wouldn’t call me back, so I didn’t take my phone, and I only saw it now.

” I know whether Pei Yu believes it or not.

Xu Juan said again: “Mr. Pei is free today, can I invite you to dinner?”

“No time.” Pei Yu’s answer was succinct.

Xu Juan said: “Your coat is still at my house. I’ve washed it. I’ll send it to you someday.”

Pei Yu said, “No need to return it.”

Xu Juan smiled and said, “Don’t, I’m too embarrassed to keep you. The clothes are too reverie, not very good.”

Pei Yu: “…”

Pei Yu seems to be unhappy: “Don’t be full of nonsense, can you be serious?”

“How can I have it.” Every time Chatting with Pei Yu, Xu Juan’s mood will improve, and he finds that Pei Yu is like a mimosa, without touching it. But the more people he doesn’t want to touch, the more he wants to touch them.

“I’m trying to please you.” Xu Juan said, “If you don’t like me talking like this, then I won’t say it in the future.”

Pei Yu said, “I don’t like you talking, you’d better not say anything. ”

Xu Juan was wronged: “Dangtang people’s teacher, why are you so unreasonable? You actually deprived me of the right to speak.”

Pei Yu said: “Does this mean the right to speak? It’s called the right to speak.”

“…” With such strictness, Xu Juan suspects that he has an occupational disease. “My worst grade in school was Chinese.”

“Everything else is good?”

“Yes, mathematics, physics and chemistry students are basically full marks. I am a contestant. , the foreign language also gets full marks.”

Xu Juan didn’t brag, but Pei Yu was suspicious: “You are so diligent in your studies, aren’t you busy, why do you have time to practice calligraphy?”

“…”

It seems that Pei Yu really cares about his calligraphy skills. Juan is a little proud: “Time is squeezed out. I not only learn calligraphy, but also music. Since I was nine years old, I basically can’t get enough sleep every day. Occasionally I can play football with other boys, and I can be happy all day.”

“…Really? Aren’t you tired?”

“Tired, but my family is like this, my brother and my sister were like this when they were kids. When I came here, I was too tired, but seeing them grow up to be so good, I was envious, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.”

Xu Juan said all the truth, but he concealed the second half of the sentence. : He only endured until he was twenty, and then he let himself go.

Pei Yu was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: “I know your sister Xu Qingguang, she is a famous pianist.”

Xu Juan was surprised, and immediately said, “My sister has a partner just in case. ”

Pei Yu: “…” The

conversation suddenly stopped, and it was so easy to chat, Xu Juan didn’t want to stop.

He got out of bed to wash, took care of himself a little, hid the traces of just waking up, changed his clothes, and sent a video invitation to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu didn’t answer. He typed and asked, “What are you doing?”

Xu Juan said, “My family has a lot of calligraphy and painting collections, many original works by famous artists, and some of my own writing. Do you want to see it?”

After sending this sentence, he clicked the video again, Pei Yu really accepted.

As soon as it was connected, Pei Yu’s face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone. He hadn’t seen him for more than a week. Xu Juan couldn’t help staring at him for a few more seconds. The more he looked, the more he felt that this face was so perfect.

But the two looked at each other silently across the video, which was more embarrassing than face-to-face. Pei Yu was obviously embarrassed, frowned, and warned: “Xu Juan!”

“…”

This was the first time he called Xu Juan by his name, and he was always full of “Mr. Xu” before.

Xu Juan wanted to laugh but held back. He turned to the rear camera seriously, and said as he walked to the study: “Mr. Pei, you like calligraphy so much, have you studied it yourself?”

“I guess you have.” Pei Yu said, “But studying the Fa in

my spare time is not as professional as you.” “I’m not a professional either. My master has several apprentices, and I am the most unsatisfactory one. That’s why Teacher Pei is willing to praise me and praise me.”

Xu Juanjin When he went to the study, he took out all his collections and photographed them one by one for Pei Yu to see.

He said that he was not professional, but when introducing these calligraphy and paintings, every time he took a picture, he explained the author’s style and life in detail, and also explained the differences in their styles and their advantages and disadvantages.

Well said, but he deliberately did not take good shots, and the picture presented in the lens was very blurry.

Pei Yu couldn’t help but said, “Can you not shake your hands?”

“I tried my best.” Xu Juan said hypocritically, “Maybe the signal is not good, and the video clarity is not enough, otherwise, Mr. Pei, when you are free, personally Come to my house to enjoy, let you have a good time, how about it?”

“…”

“By the way, take your coat back.”

Xu Juan threw the bait and waited for Pei Yu to take the bait.

But his purpose is too obvious. Even if Pei Yu is a big man who is not afraid to come to his house, he has to consider whether it is appropriate to treat his pursuer in this way. As a decent gentleman, he should consider the issue of avoiding suspicion.

Xu Juan understood this level, and took the initiative to help him pave the steps: “You don’t have to think too much, Mr. Pei, I took the initiative to invite you, you can come if you want. I will not ask you to do anything just because you came to my house to see my calligraphy and painting. We are all calligraphy lovers. Sharing is a joy in itself. On the contrary, it made things worse. In fact, I am very happy with you, because no one praises me for writing well except you. In the eyes of my master and my parents, I have not learned enough, it is far worse, my My friends like to compliment me, but they don’t understand this, they’re all bragging about it, so…”

Xu Juan paused for a while, and suddenly felt a little sadness.

At this moment, he has turned the camera to the front, and the lens is facing his own face. The expression on his face is not too deep, but it is the melancholy of seven or eight points of restraint mixed with one or two points of melancholy that cannot be restrained. The most sincere.

It just so happened that his usual words and deeds were more frivolous and romantic, which formed a big contrast with this moment, and in a trance, people felt that he had entered his heart and saw an unknown side of him.

It was hard for Pei Yu not to be moved. Xu Juan watched him with his eyes gradually shaking, and heard him say, “Does Xu always live alone? Is it convenient?”

Xu Juan immediately said, “It’s convenient, Mr. Pei, don’t worry. When do you have time? Today?”

“Tomorrow.” Pei Yu said, “Is it okay tomorrow afternoon?”

“Yes.”

Xu Juan smiled slightly and reported his address: “I will wait for you at home tomorrow afternoon.”
