When he came to the house, he found that its architectural shape was almost exactly the same as that of his own house. It seemed that Qingdai entered it by mistake because he had mistakenly looked in the wrong direction. Pei Yuchi rang the doorbell anxiously.
"Ding dong..." The doorbell echoed in the empty corridor. At this moment, it was Oliver who opened the door!
Pei Yuchi was suddenly startled and turned pale. He never expected that Oliver lived in his community. Just when he was terrified, Xia walked out of the house holding Qingdai, and saw her gently touching the cat's head, and the two of them looked at him with smiles.
"You..." Pei Yuchi's eyes widened, his hands trembled, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably with excitement and anger.
He really couldn't understand why Sia and Oliver wanted to live so close to him and still occupy his most beloved cat. This cruel injury made Pei Yuchi's heart feel as if a bloody gash had been cut open by a sharp blade.
"Give it back to me!" He glared at Sia and Oliver fiercely, stretched out his hand tremblingly, snatched back his beloved cat Qingdai, and rushed towards home.
During this period, he had missed Sia deeply, but Sia not only betrayed him, but also lived with Oliver near his home, deliberately appeared in front of him, and even tricked his beloved away. cat.
He ran out of breath, tears bursting out of his eyes one by one with each step, streaking across his red cheeks, falling to the ground and disappearing. But he didn't realize it and just kept running, with only the thought of escape remaining in his chaotic mind.
When he stumbled back to the door, Pei Yuchi sat on his knees on the ground, his chaotic breathing rising and falling weakly.
The emotions accumulated along the way finally burst out, and he burst into tears, and the sobs echoed in the empty corridor. Tears blurred his vision, but they still couldn't stop flowing, wetting the ground drop by drop.
Pei Yuchi hugged the trembling Qingdai tightly in his arms, snuggled up quietly with one person and one cat, and gained some comfort in this sadness.
"No, it's impossible..."
At this moment, the slight pressure on his shoulders woke up Pei Yuchi. He opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was leaning on Lin Wan'er's shoulder next to him.
He sat upright in a hurry, and then noticed that his face was covered with tears and he was still sobbing softly. Pei Yuchi's hands were trembling slightly. He put his elbows on his knees and wiped away the remaining tears on his cheeks with his palms, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.
Everything just happened was so real that the moment he woke up, he was still immersed in the heart-wrenching dream and couldn't extricate himself. Pei Yuchi frowned tightly, his eyes were blank, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare?" Lin Wan'er looked at him with concern.
Pei Yuchi shook his head listlessly, not wanting to explain, so he just turned his head towards the window.
OutsideThe blue sky was peaceful, in sharp contrast to the turmoil inside him. He was very depressed and realized that it was just a dream, but it felt extremely realistic.
Pei Yuchi let out a long sigh, as if Shia's whisper in his dream was still echoing in his ears. He struggled to get rid of the shadow of the nightmare, but he could not calm down the loss in his heart.
Lin Wan'er handed over a glass of warm water. Pei Yuchi drank it in one breath, sighed deeply, changed the subject and asked, "Where is Xiao Liao?"
"I'll switch with him. He's gone to accompany Zhang Xusheng." Lin Wan'er replied. Only then did Pei Yuchi notice that Zhang Xusheng managed to sit next to Lin Wan'er. Perhaps Xiao Liao agreed to change because of his consideration for Lin Wan'er.
"I'm going to wash my face." Pei Yuchi stood up in a panic, and walked quickly to the airplane bathroom as if he was running away, praying that cold water could wash away the heart-wrenching nightmare.
When Pei Yuchi came back from the bathroom, his energy was listless and he looked haggard.
Lin Wan'er saw that his whole body was shrouded in shadow. She remembered that when she had just changed seats, Xiao Liao specifically told her that Pei Yuchi's sleep quality was not good recently, so she should try not to chat with him and let him After catching up on his sleep, Xiao Liao agreed to help change seats.
Pei Yuchi sat down again, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes blank. Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then asked: "You look very tired. I brought some sleeping pills. There are no side effects. Just tell me if you need anything."
Pei's speech was slow He slowly turned his head, forced a polite smile, and said softly: "Thank you, it's not needed for the time being."
This time Lin Guan'er was also responsible for part of the work of Pei Yuchi's assistant. Since Chi saw that she had changed her seat, she might as well talk about her upcoming work arrangements.
"After arriving today, you first go and implement..." Before Pei Yuchi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Wan'er.
"Teacher Pei, let's talk about it after work. You can get some sleep first, and I will lend you my shoulder." Lin Wan'er patted his thin shoulder, with concern in his eyes.
"Your shoulders are too thin, making it uncomfortable to sleep. I'm afraid I'll continue to have nightmares." Pei Yuchi deliberately joked.
"Yes, what dream did you have just now that scared yourself like that?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"It's nothing. It wasn't a good dream. I'm sorry for scaring you." Pei Yuchi's expression vaguely showed some disappointment and apology.
Seeing that he didn't want to explain too much, Lin Wan'er stopped asking and just looked at him with concern. The two chatted easily for a while about various interesting and ridiculous dream topics.
At this time, Xiao Liao had already fallen asleep after switching positions with Lin Wan'er. He slept peacefully and had zero communication with Zhang Xusheng.
After Lin Wan'er left, the bored Zhang Xusheng opened the plane's personal media system and started aBattle with endless videos. He first chose an art film that had won multiple awards, but he couldn't help but yawn after watching just a short part of it.
I quickly changed to a commercial action movie, hoping to pass the time. But the action scene had just started, and he felt that the plot was cliche and jumped directly to the climax. In this way, Zhang Xusheng had nothing to do, mechanically skipping one unsatisfactory program after another.
In the end, Zhang Xusheng had no choice but to give up the plan of chasing the drama. He sighed helplessly and began to flip through the contents of the aviation magazine. From the introduction of cabin services to the recommendation of duty-free products, he browsed through it carefully, for fear of missing any words that could help pass the time.
Amidst the drowsiness, Zhang Xusheng was the only one who was reading the discount advertisements published in magazines with high spirits and joy, just like a middle-aged aunt fighting on the front line of shopping.
...
After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, the Maplewood City investment promotion delegation finally arrived at the Hong Kong Island Airport. After getting off the plane, everyone checked into the pre-booked hotel as planned, put down their luggage and tidied up briefly, and then began to get ready for their work.
As one of the core members of the delegation, Pei Yuchi went directly to the Hong Kong Island Convention and Exhibition Center and began to inspect the layout of the exhibition hall and equipment debugging.
A large-scale industrial exhibition area has been set up in the huge exhibition hall, with all kinds of booths and models available, and the staff are working hard on the final debugging. Pei Yuchi walked around to check and put forward suggestions for modifications to the booth layout and surrounding lighting.
After finishing dealing with the exhibition hall matters, Pei Yu arrived late at the temporary office rented locally by the Hong Kong Island delegation.
When I walked into the office, I was immediately struck by the small and cramped space. The room was filled with desks, chairs and various equipment, and people struggled to walk among them.
In order to maximize the use of every inch of space, tables and chairs are placed close together, leaving only enough space for one person to pass sideways.
In the conference room, several small tables were put together to form a U-shape so that everyone could communicate face to face.
Colleagues from different departments gathered in twos and threes. Everyone could only use their laptops on their laps, and they walked around and worked humbly.
Pei Yuchi reluctantly found a gap in the crowd and looked around the cramped and crowded space. He couldn't help but feel worried for the comrades who were about to work hard here. In Hong Kong Island, where land is at a premium, it is indeed not easy to rent a spacious venue.
He walked to a small table by the window. He would retract his feet slightly to leave the necessary space for the aisle. Files and computers are neatly placed on the desktop, and an activity planner is fixed with magnets on the wall next to it.
At the beginning of the meeting, Pei Yuchi was tall and long-legged. He and other staff members were cramped in front of a small table. He tried to sit upright out of habit, but found that his kneesIt was already pushing against the leg of the colleague opposite me.
He smiled and apologized. He could only bend his legs and bend down, and his whole body shrank into a ball. But in this case, there is nowhere to put the files and laptop in your hands. Just when he was in a dilemma, a colleague next to him saw this and pushed his folder aside to leave a little space for him.
Pei Yuchi looked around the crowded environment and emphasized to the team his attitude towards this work: "Simplify the complex without losing the truth." It is an indisputable fact that space conditions are limited, and everyone can only use the existing everything and try our best to complete all preparatory work.
He sat down and looked at the detailed schedule for the past few days, marking out the key items. The next two days will be focused on event preparations, including pre-conference press releases, opening ceremony process rehearsals, etc.
Halfway through the meeting, Pei Yuchi's shoulders and legs were already sore. When the discussion was over, he stood up quickly and accidentally knocked over the water glass of his colleague. Under the eyes of the other party who smiled and said it was okay, he apologized with a red face, feeling like a big clumsy animal.
When Xiao Liao received the call, he was listening attentively to the report of his colleagues. His cell phone rang suddenly, and he subconsciously stood up and went out to answer it, but he soon realized that if he stood up, he would have to disturb a dozen colleagues around him to move their seats to make way for him.
So he could only nod apologetically to everyone and answer the phone while sitting down.
Aunt Gui was on the other end of the phone, saying that Pei Yuchi had not answered her call. Miss Xia wanted to take Pei Yuchi's cat Qingdai to her home to take care of her while he was on a business trip. Xiao Liao asked Xiao Liao to ask. Here’s Pei Yuchi’s opinion.
Xiao Liao turned his head and whispered to Pei Yuchi. Pei Yuchi only said two words, "No", with a decisive tone.
Xiao Liao saw that he was hesitant to speak again, so he asked what to do. Pei Yuchi thought for a while and asked him to tell Aunt Gui to put the cat in a cage at night.
Xiao Liao felt that Pei Yuchi's reaction was a bit unexpected. A few days ago, wasn't Qingdai still fostered in Xia's house? Why is their relationship now different from what it used to be, to the point where they would rather lock up the cat than leave it to Xia's care.
