Pei Ye sat beside the bed and gently held his hand, "Zichu, if you pity me, does it mean that you have a good impression of me in your heart?"
Gu Zichu laughed at him and secretly felt guilty because of him, despising herself for asking him sad things.
Gu Zichu scolded him with a smile, "Pei Ye The way you chase people is really stupid. When someone asks someone to hang out, you only peek at them without hiding anything."
What Gu Zichu said was that last time Pei Xuan asked him to go out for dinner and suggested going to a movie after the meal. He didn't refuse, but he didn't watch the whole movie because Pei Ye's peeking at him was too existential.
Pei Ye pursed his lips and looked at him with a sad face, "Last time you were a little bit against me at the Lu family banquet. I was actually very sad. I was sad for a long time when I went home."
Gu Zichu saw Pei Ye's eyes dropped in despair, like a secretly sobbing Brown Bear. His naive and silly look made Gu Zichu couldn't help laughing, "Then what can I do to make it up to you?"
"If you are willing to give me a try, I think I will be very happy." Pei Ye looked at his beautiful Peach Blossom Eyes and said with hope.
Gu Zichu looked out the window at the dead branches covered with residual snow and said nothing for a while. Pei Ye's palms were sweating nervously. When he was on the verge of collapse, Gu Zichu was finally willing to look back at him.
Gu Zichu never took back Pei Ye's hand and held his hand, which also gave Pei Ye a lot of reassurance.
Until Pei Ye felt the strange yet familiar warmth on the back of his hand, and Gu Zichu's other hand gently attached itself to his.
Gu Zichu, with the tips of his ears red, whispered, "Then give it a try, Pei Ye, I want my deafening heartbeat to be the first to reveal the answer hidden in my heart."
Pei Ye felt the soreness in his eyes and the soreness at the tip of his nose, and felt a little at a loss for a moment, "Zichu, I will treat you well, I... I promise I will not let you down."
Finally getting Gu Zichu's permission, Pei Ye couldn't wait to hold Gu Zichu tightly in his arms and choked with sobs. "Zichu, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Not getting a response, Pei Ye gently pushed Gu Zichu away, only to see Gu Zichu tilting his head at some point and falling asleep with his eyes closed.
Pei Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief, helped him adjust to a comfortable position, and covered him with a quilt. Seeing that the ice cubes in the ice pack had almost melted, he went downstairs to put new ice cubes in, and applied it to the red and swollen areas of Gu Zichu's feet.
Gu Zichu's brows, which were furrowed because of the sting, immediately sighed and relaxed.
The mobile phone beside him kept vibrating, and Pei Ye came out of the room to answer it with a cold face.
Fang Lin's heartbreaking curses came from the other end of the phone.
"Pei Ye, you white-eyed wolf! Your elder brother and I raised you like this, and you treat Xiao Xuan like this! Do you know that Xiao Xuan is in the hospital now, with his face covered in blood and wrapped in a bandage!"
Pei Ye lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth carelessly, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you ask me if I was injured?"
Fang Lin scratched his neck and choked.
"You can still speak normally now. What could have happened? Where are you now? Come to the hospital right away. I hope you can rush over before Xiao Xuan wakes up and apologize to him when he opens his eyes."
"Impossible." Pei Ye's eyes flashed with contempt.
Pei Zheng grabbed Fang Lin's mobile phone and shouted impatiently at Pei Ye: "Pei Ye, don't you want to go back to Pei family Old Residence? You think you have made a career,
You can yell in front of me and your sister-in-law? The eldest brother is like father and the elder sister-in-law is like mother. It's really hard to have wings. Everything you learned in the army has been used on your nephew.
You are really capable! Come to the hospital quickly and apologize to your nephew. Don't let me send someone to push you over."
Pei Ye leaned his head against the wall and chuckled softly, "Brother, I heard your conversation with your father at the door."
Pei Zheng's expression softened slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, "What do you mean? I don't want to come to the hospital to apologize, but I like to make so many excuses."
Pei Ye was too lazy to talk to him about all these twists and turns, and exposed him directly, "You don't want to raise me at all, but you were threatened by my father that you must raise me until I reach adulthood before you can get some of the shares he left for you.
It would be somewhat inconsistent with Mr. Pei's status to kidnap me morally with the gift of upbringing that comes with conflicts of interest."
Pei Zheng said angrily, "You already knew this?!"
"Are you surprised?" Pei Ye exhaled a puff of white smoke, his eyes filled with self-mockery amid the smoke.
"You must have been so happy when I broke up with you. After all, you don't have to invest any more in it. As long as you wait until I reach adulthood, you can get your shares back.
But you couldn't bear to see me like this, so you simply didn't give me a penny. You wanted me to succumb to your authority, bow my head, admit my mistake, and beg you. But unfortunately, I'm a tough guy, so I didn't do what you wanted.
I'm grateful to you and my sister-in-law in my heart, but I can't stand your pretentiousness and escaped the suffocating Pei family.
Brother, Xiao Xuan, you haven't taught him well. As a brother-in-law, it's not too much for me to teach him a lesson. It's also a warning to you. If you don't teach him, there are plenty of people in society who will teach him."
"Humph, Xiao Xuan we have a good education, but we didn't expect to raise a white-eyed wolf like you." Pei Zheng said in a strange tone, "I see you hate us so much, don't come back to Pei family Old Residence again."
"It's what I asked for." Pei Ye put out the cigarette, "Brother, I attacked Xiao Xuan in a measured way. He can't die. I haven't thought about going to jail yet."
"You threaten me? If Xiao Xuan doesn't do what you want in the future, are you going to give him a shot and chop him to death with a knife?" Pei Zheng asked in a deep voice.
"Brother, what are you kidding me about? I wouldn't have to use weapons to deal with Xiao Xuan." Pei Ye raised a nasty smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Pei Ye! How dare you!" Pei Zheng shouted through gritted teeth.
"Brother, you can give it a try. If the kindness you and sister-in-law have towards me is exhausted, I won't mind doing anything to you."
After Pei Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving Pei Zheng helpless and furious in the ward, "White-eyed wolf, you really raised him for nothing, you are a beast!"
Fang Lin looked at Pei Xuan lying on the hospital bed with distress, glared at him and said.
"Keep your voice down and don't disturb your son while he's sleeping. Pei Ye is a white-eyed wolf. Pei family doesn't welcome him. I don't want to see him in the future either."
Pei Ye's expression was not affected at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally broke up with Pei family's family members who could only passively accept it.
It doesn't matter, he found a new family on his own.
Pei Ye went downstairs to the kitchen and asked the servant to cook some light porridge until Gu Zichu woke up and felt hungry.
Pei Ye went upstairs with a cigarette in hand and was about to light it, when he met Lu Xingchen at the corner.
Lu Xingchen frowned and looked at him, "Don't smoke indoors, no one wants to breathe your second-hand smoke, Old Residence there are children and the elderly."
"Sorry." Pei Ye put away his cigarette and apologized.
"Zichu are you okay?" Lu Xingchen asked him.
Pei Ye stopped at the door and said in a low voice, "Asleep, resting."
Lu Xingchen said, "Take good care of him."
Pei Ye scoffed. "You don't need to say it."
