Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 73

After Feng Li left, Duan Xinglian put the recovered room card in the drawer, as if he had never heard of Feng Li's emotions.

He walked into the dining room and saw Pei Yi putting things in the refrigerator. Hearing his footsteps, Pei Yi looked back at him and looked in the direction of the door. He seemed hesitant to speak, but he didn't say much what.

Duan Xinglian didn't mention it too much. He knew that Pei Yi thought it was a bit abrupt to ask a question hastily, but he couldn't explain it. He didn't want these things to be given to Pei Yi with the name "for him", which would add to the burden for no reason. pressure.

Because in fact, even if those things did not exist, the mother-child relationship between him and Feng Li would only become more polite and distant. This is the seed planted since childhood.

So Duan Xinglian just packed his things quietly with Pei Yi.

When the refrigerator was full and there were still two big bags outside, Duan Xinglian said: "Let's put it outside first, the new refrigerator will be delivered tomorrow."

"it is good."

Pei Yi responded, and saw that he had no intention of mentioning the matter just now, so he also swallowed the words back.

Then Duan Xinglian cooks in person, and Pei Yi helps him from the sidelines. On the surface, it seems to be quite harmonious.

Pei Yi hadn't eaten Duan Xinglian's fried dishes for a long time, and after eating two bowls of rice in a row, he and Duan Xinglian went downstairs for a walk because they were a little full.

After I came back, I took a shower and watched a movie. After that, both of them prepared to rest. During this period, no one mentioned Feng Li's matter again.

-

At the same time at Luhu Lake, when Duan Chengsen came back from overtime work temporarily, he opened the door and saw Feng Li sitting on the balcony in a daze. Dim light.

The weather forecast said that there will be rain in the next two days, and it is also windy now. Although it is already June, the wind at night is still cool.

Duan Chengsen took a thin blanket and walked over to put it on Feng Li's shoulders, which were only wearing a silk shirt.

He squatted down beside the chair and asked, "I heard from Sister Liu that you didn't have dinner when you came back?"

Feng Li's eyes moved a little, and the circles of her eyes turned red unconsciously, but she turned her face away and endured it.

Seeing this, Duan Chengsen tucked her sideburns behind her ears, sighed, and said, "What do you think you're going to do with that crime? You don't care how that kid lives."

Feng Li sat up, staring at Duan Chengsen with annoyance in his eyes, and asked, "Are you blaming me too? Do you also think I did something wrong?"

Duan Chengsen is probably used to being a leader, and his brows are always serious, but at this moment, his face is obviously a little helpless: "You got angry with that bastard, so you will come back to bully me."

Feng Li glanced at him, then turned his face to the side angrily.

After a while, her shoulders slackened, she lost her arrogance in front of outsiders, and when she spoke again, her tone was a little depressed: "He's just blaming me."

Blame her for beating Shuang Yuan back then, blame her for not caring enough about him since she was a child, blame her for being cruel, and blame her for being biased.

But is it wrong for her to take care of her parents?Is it wrong for her not to accept that their relationship is different from ordinary people?

"I gave birth to him and raised him. I have never shorted him for food and clothing, and I have always been the best in everything." After so many years, Feng Li also felt wronged, "Except for that one time, I never beat or scolded him. Why do I have to look at his face in the end?"

Duan Chengsen listened with a frown. Originally, he could obey Feng Li in everything, but he really couldn't bear to see her go into a corner when it comes to Duan Xinglian.

"Actually, I'm not qualified to persuade you. After all, the relationship between him and me is even more rigid." Duan Chengsen said calmly, but he was also carefully phrasing, "It was our choice to give birth to him, but after he was born, we failed to treat him well. However, as a son of man, he is excellent and independent, and he has seldom worried us since he was a child; he may not be obedient and considerate enough, but we are not responsible enough either. In this way, no one owes anyone, so there is no need If you put too much expectation on the other party, otherwise you will feel sad when you don’t get a response and recognition, I think he understood this truth early on.”

Feng Li didn't say a word, but he didn't agree with his expression.

"Besides, there is a matter of fate in everything. It is their fate that he can meet Pei Yi again today." Duan Chengsen mentioned Pei Yi without hesitation. A little bit of fate, even if the intimacy is not enough, there will be rift, if you force it again, I am afraid that there will be resentment and resentment, and you will not be able to be kind, and he is too big, so let him go."

Hearing this, Feng Li's eyes trembled even more, he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Duan Chengsen got up and hugged her shoulders, and finally sighed: "It's actually quite good for him to be like this now. He is loved and hopeful. At least he can live in a healthy way, isn't it?"

These words seemed to hit her heartstrings thoroughly, Feng Li clutched the hem of Duan Chengsen's clothes with his fingers, and finally began to sob and cry.

-

When Pei Yi woke up the next morning, he found that it was raining heavily outside the window. It was rainy in country Y, but it was always cloudy and rainy, and it rarely rained so quickly and brightly.

Originally, Duan Xinglian said to go hiking with him today, so he had no choice but to give up. Pei Yi moved a chair and sat on the balcony, listening to the sound of rain outside, and took out Shao Yu's previous professional books to continue studying, feeling very comfortable.

But once in a while, Pei Yi couldn't help thinking of the heavy rain in his memory.

It's just that the state of mind at that time is completely different from that at this moment.

Thinking of this, Pei Yi glanced at the date again, it was already the 3rd, and it was almost here again.

He blinked, and couldn't concentrate so much when reading again.

But when Duan Xinglian approached, he still put away his absent-mindedness.

They were at home today and planned to wait for the refrigerator to come to the door, but in the evening, the delivery master said that the road they came from was blocked by stagnant water, could they change the time to tomorrow.

There is no other way, the two of them can only agree.

On the second day, Pei Yi suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked about the thesis assignment assigned to Shao Yu for two days. Pei Yi thought that he was fine anyway, so he asked Duan Xinglian for the address of Shao Yu's building.

Duan Xinglian didn't know what was going on at the time, so he didn't say much after hearing it. He told him the address, and pointed out which building it was by the window. He didn't go by himself, and had to wait for the workers to install the refrigerator at home.

Pei Yi went there alone, but he didn't want to just walk downstairs to Shao Yu's building, and happened to meet a man coming out. The man was tall and dressed in black. Wearing a mask and hat, only a pair of beautiful but indifferent eyes were revealed.

Pei Yi glanced at him by chance, and then both of them seemed to be uninterested, and drifted apart lightly, each going in their own directions.

Pei Yi walked into the hall, rang the doorbell of Shao Yu's house, and the videophone was quickly connected.

"What did you forget—ah! Pei Yi! Come up quickly!"

The elevator door opened quickly, and as soon as Pei Yi got out of the elevator, he saw that Shao Yu was already waiting.

Shao Yu didn't expect Pei Yi to come to play with him, so he was very happy.

Pei Yi was changing shoes by the door, but found a pair of oversized slippers next to the shoe cabinet.

He was a little strange. Generally, if there is no one else living in the house, the extra slippers should be put in the shoe cabinet, right?

But Shao Yu then brought him a new pair from the shoe cabinet.

Pei Yi changed, and couldn't help asking, "Do you live alone?"

Shao Yu obviously paused: "Yes, yes, occasionally my aunt comes to cook."

Pei Yi nodded when she heard the words, probably the aunt was taller, so she didn't ask any more questions.

And he came with a mission this time, and while walking in with Shao Yu, he asked, "How is the thesis I asked you to write before?"

Shao Yu was searching the living room to see if there were any suspicious items. Hearing that Nan`feng had come here, he immediately looked back at Pei Yi as if asking for praise: "The two first drafts are finished!"

Then there was another wave of misery: "I stayed up for two big nights, but I worked hard, and I didn't work so hard in the college entrance examination."

"Hmm." Pei Yi originally thought that the writing should have been finished, isn't this normal?But seeing Shao Yu's expectant eyes, he finally added, "Amazing."

Shao Yu was really happy when he heard that, and then Pei Yi gave him full comments and continued to assign the next task, and he felt that it was not so difficult.

In the afternoon, the two continued their efforts, and Shao Yu also tied a red ribbon on his forehead as if he had been beaten to death, and worked hard to code the paper.

It was not until evening that Duan Xinglian came to take Pei Yi back.

"Has the refrigerator arrived?" Pei Yi asked on the road.

"Yes." Duan Xinglian replied, "It's fixed, it can be used after a few hours."

Duan Xinglian didn't lose the previous refrigerator, he kept it beside him, ready to put fruit and food for Pei Yi.

"By the way, are there any celebrities living in your community?" Pei Yi thought of the person he met downstairs in Shao Yu today, and now he thought of it and felt a little familiar, thinking that he should have seen his photo somewhere, but he I can't match the number again.

"Yes." Duan Xinglian said a few names. Pei Yi heard them familiarly, but he didn't understand them. He only knew that they were very popular. Then he heard Duan Xinglian ask, "Why? Is your idol?"

Pei Yi shook his head and replied, "No, just ask."

Duan Xinglian smiled: "Yes, you are not like Shao Yu."

The topic ended here, and then the two went home, and after dinner, they each did their own things. The weekend passed by like this, and Duan Xinglian went to work again the next day.

When Duan Xinglian came back on Monday afternoon, he brought a lot of things and filled the fresh-keeping compartment of the new refrigerator.

He didn't stop Tuesday afternoon and filled the freezer again.

Pei Yi thinks he has a habit of hoarding things.

But on Wednesday afternoon, Duan Xinglian didn't come back on time like the previous two days.

Pei Yi sat on the sofa, looked at the "overtime" message sent by Duan Xinglian, but remembered that he left very early again this morning.

Obviously it didn't happen two days ago.

Pei Yi glanced at the date displayed on the phone, and his expression gradually faded.

6 month 7 number.

He went out the door this morning, and traffic control was implemented outside, making way for the students of the college entrance examination.

In the past, Pei Yi has seen various reports about the domestic college entrance examination in books, on TV, and in many places, most of which are related to words such as racing against time, engrossed, and inspirational.

But the results on paper are shallow. Pei Yi has never taken the college entrance examination, so he always feels that there is a layer of veil between him and he cannot understand the ups and downs.

In his memory, there are only endless haste and misery related to this day, which he will never forget in his life. Whenever it approaches, there will always be nightmares at night, and he will always be tense like a conditioned reflex.

Pei Yi didn't turn on the light, and sat on the sofa until eight o'clock in the evening, only the constant light of the mobile phone was reflected on his face.

Until Pei Yi heard movement from outside the hallway, he blinked, got up abruptly, strode towards the refrigerator, and turned on the light in the living room at the same time.

Pei Yi was stabbed by the sudden light and closed his eyes, his eyeballs were a little sore. At the same time, the door opened and Duan Xinglian walked in.

Pei Yi breathed a sigh of relief facing the refrigerator, then turned around, smiled slightly at Duan Xinglian, and said as usual: "I happen to be making strawberry milkshake, would you like one?"

He is not good at cooking, but probably because he likes to eat fruit himself, so the products in this area are not bad.

Duan Xinglian glanced at him upon hearing this, then quickly retracted his gaze, and nodded: "Okay, thank you."

Hearing this, Pei Yi turned around and went to the kitchen with strawberries and yogurt.

Duan Xinglian was a little tired today, maybe it wasn't today.

He loosened his tie with one hand, sat on the sofa, turned his head, and could see Pei Yi's busy back again.

In fact, as soon as he entered the door, he realized that something was wrong with Pei Yi.

Although Pei Yi's expression was the same as usual, and even covered up, but he could tell.

Duan Xinglian pinched the center of his brows, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he thought, why bother?It's better to say that it's happy.

But as soon as the idea came up, the phone on the coffee table vibrated suddenly.

Pei Yi's phone was always on and did not turn off the screen. Duan Xinglian glanced at it subconsciously, but at that moment, he froze.

It was a text message sent over, showing the contents of the first few rows.

[Dear Pei Yi, due to flight reasons, your scheduled flight from Yancheng Airport to Country Y Stan Airport at 06:24 on June 14th...]

Although only part of it is shown, the information you want to know is already very clear.

Duan Xinglian stared at the mobile phone on the coffee table without blinking, his eyes were sore, but it was far from mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, Pei Yi made two milkshakes and brought them over. He saw Duan Xinglian sitting on the sofa with his hands on his knees, seemingly in a trance.

Pei Yi put the milkshake on the coffee table, and wanted to ask him if he was a little tired recently.

But before he could speak, Duan Xinglian lowered his eyes, and his voice came first.

"It's going to be so soon..." Duan Xinglian spoke slowly, as if trying to restrain himself, "Are you going back to country Y?"

Pei Yi paused and looked up at him.

Duan Xinglian said: "I accidentally saw your text message."

Pei Yi took it over and took a look, and found that it was the news that the airway control flight was about to be delayed.

But looking at the glaring time falling ahead, he suddenly understood what Duan Xinglian meant by "so fast".

Their so-called agreement ended on the 23rd, and he booked a ticket for the next day, as if he couldn't wait, what's more, he seemed to be anxious to get rid of something.

At this time, although Xing Lian spoke calmly, he was not questioning him.

But Pei Yi still caught a glimpse of the surging undercurrent.

And the more Duan Xinglian restrained, the more distressed Pei Yi became, as if being pricked by dense needles.

At this point, Pei Yi finally understood that if this continues, there will only be two people suffering.

And the relationship that was ended by him in the first place was the pain and shadow he caused Duan Xinglian.

And Duan Xinglian has almost done everything he can for him, how can he bear to let him continue to be restless, even refuse to give him the most basic security?

So Pei Yi thought, no matter what, at least the right to choose should be handed over to him this time.

"No, no." Pei Yi's eyes rarely filled with anxiety, he explained, "It's the graduation ceremony, my graduation ceremony is about to start, I just go back to attend."

"But you don't have to go." Pei Yi said, "I told the professor that I will not participate."

When Duan Xinglian heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and finally he slowly turned his head, revealing a pair of red eyes.

Pei Yi's heart tightened as he watched, and he couldn't care about anything else at this moment. The hidden line between the two of them was completely broken. Pei Yi took the initiative to hold Duan Xinglian's hand on his knee, holding it tightly, and staring at him. Looking at him, while speaking seriously, he also called out that long-lost title.

"Brother." Pei Yi said, "I don't want to leave you."

From before to now, I have never thought about it.
