Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 65

In the end, Duan Xinglian simply took him to have a meal, there was no unnecessary words during the dinner, and after the meal, Duan Xinglian sent him back to the hotel and left without hesitation.

In the next few days, Duan Xinglian did not appear every day, and there were almost no WeChat messages or phone calls.

It seems that the relationship between the two is purely cooperative, following the principle of non-necessary non-disturbance, Pei Yi is relieved by this, and the originally tense string has also eased.

But at the same time, there are some unspeakable feelings in my heart.

It seemed that there was only a handful of ashes left between the two of them, and when this month passed, they would disappear without a trace.

But that should be a good thing too.

-

In the past few days, Professor Lu and Xia Pa have also completed the experimental exchange in China and are going back to country Y.

On the night when Pei Yi agreed to Duan Xinglian, he mentioned to the professor that he would stay in the country for a while and not go with them.

Professor Lu thought that it was a rare trip for him to return to China, so he expressed understanding and did not interfere too much. Director Liu, however, heard about this and said that Pei Yi was going to stay and contribute to their chemical research. He quarreled with Director Liu with staring eyes.

On the day when Professor Lu and Xia Pa left, Pei Yi went to the airport to see them off and sent them all the way to the security checkpoint. Professor Lu walked in front, and Xia Pa was side by side with Pei Yi.

Xia Pa blinked at Pei Yi, smiled meaningfully, and whispered, "Pei, in your idiom, you and your first love, is this the rekindling of the old relationship?"

Pei Yi: "..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Xia Pa laughed out loud, and didn't ask any more questions afterwards, just said: "Then I wish the senior all the best and his wishes come true!"

Pei Yi blinked, thinking how do you know what my wish is, but in the end he just smiled and replied: "Recently, I have learned Chinese well."

Talking about this, Xia Pa was very sad. He pretended to wipe away his tears and complained: "The little angel said that my Chinese is poor and I have a heavy accent, but I practiced hard and he still ignored me. I wonder if he already has other cuties. gone."

The day Pei Yi met Shao Yu, Xia Pa also added Shao Yu's WeChat with a shy face, and then launched a fierce pursuit.

But Shao Yu had something to do at school these days, and Duan Xinglian also told him not to bother Pei Yi too much, so he didn't appear in front of Pei Yi, and Xia Pa couldn't ask him out if he didn't show up, so Violence could only be in front of Pei Yi. One-sided violence online.

On the other hand, Shao Yu would send Pei Yi a wechat every day. The content of the wechat included but was not limited to complaining about Xia Pa's promiscuity and greasyness. : "It's okay, you're leaving now, he should delete you, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, give up as soon as possible."

Shocked, Xia Pa covered his face and went to talk to Professor Lu. Professor Lu coaxed him for a while, and then he slapped him away when he got impatient.

They then formally hugged and bid farewell.

Pei Yi stood outside the security checkpoint and watched them leave.

Pei Yi didn't turn around until he could no longer see anyone.

He doesn't have a domestic driver's license, so he can only take a taxi. He chose Shili as his destination, but at the same time, he has some thoughts in his heart.

Shili was the hotel arranged for them by the Institute of Chemical Research. Now that Professor Lu is gone, although Director Liu told Professor Lu to reassure him and let Pei Yi continue to live, Pei Yi can feel free to talk to him if he has anything to do. He said, but Pei Yi stayed this time because of his own private affairs, after all, it was inconvenient to continue to bother Director Liu.

So Pei Yi thought, it would be better to live in another place.

At this point, Pei Yi couldn't help thinking of the house in Huaiyue Bay. Back then, he and Pei Xueyuan left in a hurry. Huaiyue Bay was vacant at the beginning, and he didn't have time to take care of it a few months ago.

It took a long time to think about it later, but they also knew that there would be no return date for this trip, and at that time, Pei Xueyuan had surgery and recuperated and he needed money to apply for a school, so in the end they asked Uncle Zhou to take over the house in Huaiyue Bay. Sold to a trustworthy person.

So now that Pei Yi is in Yancheng, it can be said that he is completely alone.

And he and Pei Xueyuan only stayed in Yancheng for less than a year. To this ever-changing city, they were just passing by, so logically speaking, he didn't have any sense of belonging.

But this city has the most unforgettable memories in his life.

So even if he walks alone, he is willing to stay again for this.

Pei Yi lowered his eyes, lost his thoughts, and thought that he should go to Li to check out first, and then go to find a hotel elsewhere.

As soon as he thought about it, his phone rang suddenly.

Pei Yi looked at the familiar beginning of 138, blinked his eyelashes, and swipe to answer.

"Hey."

"Is it convenient to speak?" A familiar and pleasant voice came from the opposite side.

"Ah."

"Where are you now?"

Pei Yi had just gotten into the car and hadn't driven out of the parking lot, so he answered truthfully at this moment: "Airport."

Pei Yi heard a sound from the opposite side, as if something had been knocked over, and then he heard Duan Xinglian's voice, a little tense: "What are you doing at the airport?"

Pei Yi explained: "I just sent the professor off."

When Duan Xinglian heard this, his palms were tightly clenched and his arms dropped. He looked at the overturned coffee cup in front of him, and then he sat down again as if he was relieved, and replied, "That's it."

Pei Yi couldn't see any movement from him, so he could only ask, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xinglian didn't say much, he just stated the purpose of his call.

"There is a banquet tonight, and there are a lot of people here. You can attend with me and leave after showing your face. Would you like to?"

Pei Yi paused, Duan Xinglian didn't ask him for help these days, he was wondering if Duan Xinglian was just joking with him at that time.

Now it seems that it is indeed not the time, Duan Xinglian and him are really business-like, and will find him if necessary.

"OK."

"Then I'll pick you up now?"

"No need." Pei Yi checked the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, he replied, "I'm in the car now, I'll come to you directly."

"Alright." Duan Xinglian said, "Then come to my company."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yi changed the destination with the driver according to the address Duan Xinglian sent him.

Duan Xinglian is currently resident in this chemical company that makes polymer materials, not at the group headquarters.

But Duan's assets are strong, and it is also engaged in high-tech industries, so even though it is a subsidiary, it still occupies a building exclusively.

After Pei Yi got off the car, he entered the lobby on the first floor. He originally wanted to say that he would wait here, but before he could sit down, the elevator door opened in the distance, and Pei Yi saw a person walking towards him.

It's Duan Xinglian's assistant, he met that night when he was having dinner at Yanzilou.

The other party came over, nodded politely to him, and said directly: "Dr. Pei, hello, I am Li Ziyun, Mr. Duan's assistant. You can call me Xiao Li. Mr. Duan is in a meeting now. He thinks you should be here. Let me come down to pick you up first."

Pei Yi was not used to the formal and solemn attitude of the other party, so he wanted to minimize communication, and after a simple "yes", he followed him to the special elevator.

The front desk noticed Pei Yi as soon as he came in, and it was rare to see Assistant Li being so respectful to anyone at the moment. While surprised, he immediately shared the latest information in the company's communication group without a boss.

Fortunately, Duan Xinglian's office is at the top, and there are only a few people on the same floor as him run by the president. These people are also very professional. Pei Yi still didn't even lift his head when he passed by.

It was Pei Yi who had an occupational disease before entering Duan Xinglian's office. After all, it is impossible for anyone to enter their laboratory casually, so he specifically asked, "How about I wait for him in the lounge outside?"

Li Ziyun understood what he meant, and replied directly: "It's okay, Mr. Duan said that you can come in as you like."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a pause from the sound of typing on the keyboard outside.

Pei Yi was also taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Duan Xinglian was about to start a big show and was about to start acting.

So he didn't refuse any more, turned around and entered the office.

The interior is spacious, neat and empty at the same time.

Pei Yi doesn't feel like Duan Xinglian's style. In the past, Duan Xinglian always liked to decorate it full. His bedroom is like that. He said it looks warm like that.

Pei Yi didn't wander around looking around, but just walked to the French windows, looked at the tall buildings outside, and thought, people's preferences will indeed change.

He didn't stand for a while, when there was the sound of the door opening behind him, Pei Yi turned around, and met Duan Xinglian who was entering the door.

Maybe the meeting didn't go well, Duan Xinglian's eyebrows were frowned, and he looked very sharp, but when he saw Pei Yi, the sharpness around him still subsided a lot in an instant.

He casually threw the documents on the desk, and walked towards Pei Yi: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Pei Yi shook his head: "No, just for a while."

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them didn't continue for a while, and the huge space suddenly became quiet, only breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, there was a trace of embarrassment.

Pei Yi moved her toes secretly, thinking about whether to say something.

But Duan Xinglian looked at him, but suddenly smiled, Pei Yi looked over in puzzlement.

Duan Xinglian didn't say anything, but only talked about the banquet tonight: "It's a partner's birthday banquet, and there are a lot of contacts, so I can't shirk it."

Pei Yi didn't want to hear Duan Xinglian explain so much, so he just replied: "Yes."

Seeing that he wasn't interested, Duan Xinglian didn't say much, but the dinner was more formal, and Pei Yi was dressed casually despite his good looks, and Pei Yi didn't think about this issue before coming here.

At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Duan Xinglian: "Is there still time for me to buy it now?"

Pei Yi's eyes were beautiful, and his eyes seemed to be asking for help to make them more agile. Duan Xing rolled his Adam's apple, glanced to one side, and stood up first.

"You help me, naturally you don't have to worry about this."

In the end, Duan Xinglian got off work early and took Pei Yi to a private restaurant he often went to. The owner was a Frenchman who didn't talk much, but had good aesthetics and craftsmanship.

It must be too late for on-site customization, and the order in the shopkeeper's hand has been lined up half a year later, but he still measured Pei Yi's body size, and then took out a set of styles that the shopkeeper had previously hidden for him as an emergency.

When Pei Yi went to change, Duan Xinglian also changed.

When he came out, Pei Yi looked at Duan Xinglian's clothes, then at his own, his eyes fluctuated slightly.

In fact, in his opinion, the suits are almost the same, except for the color, there is no difference, and the difference is not as big as the compounds in the microscope.

It's just that he and Duan Xinglian are wearing it right now. He is dressed in white and Duan Xinglian is dressed in black. The fabric on the collar is also the same. It is obviously... a couple's style.

But Duan Xinglian brought him here for this purpose, and Pei Yi couldn't say much about it.

He turned his head, his eyes casually falling to the side.

But Duan Xinglian glanced at him from behind, and suddenly said, "Let's go with another pair of glasses."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper agreed with his eyes, and quickly found a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.

This is a bit similar to the pair Pei Yi wore before, except that this pair of decorative glasses has no prescription, and the frame is much more delicate.

Pei Yi was unprepared, and was about to reach out to take it, but he didn't want Duan Xinglian to take the glasses from the shopkeeper, then approach him, and put them on for him with his own hands.

Pei Yi looked at Duan Xinglian's face so close, his heart beat faster in an instant.

But Duan Xinglian didn't stop his hands at this moment, he raised his fingertips slightly, and adjusted the position of the ear of the frame for Pei Yi.

The warm fingertips touched Pei Yi's sensitive ears, causing tremors on the skin.

Finally, Duan Xinglian raised Pei Yi's chin slightly, and looked at it carefully, as if he was judging whether the glasses matched him.

Pei Yi couldn't hide, he raised his eyes and bumped into Duan Xinglian's eyes.

But seeing the other party's expression was calm, as if it was just out of aesthetic appreciation.

At the same time, the shopkeeper on the side also laughed when he saw him like this, and said a French sentence in surprise.

There are French students among Pei Yi's classmates, so he can probably understand it.

The owner said it was perfect.

I don't know if it's the glasses and him, or something else.

At this moment, Duan Xinglian also smiled when he heard this, his eyes reflected Pei Yi's appearance, and he was obviously very satisfied.

But in the end, after looking at it for a long time, he took off the glasses again and put them aside.

Pei Yi looked at him puzzled, and asked, "Isn't it pretty?"

Duan Xinglian shook his head and replied softly: "No, but this is enough for now."
