Arriving at the door of the house, Aunt Gui greeted her warmly. Xia wanted to help get something, but Pei Yu blocked her from going back, so she had to bring Qingdai in.
Aunt Gui kept talking and asked the two of them to come down to eat when they were ready. Xia asked Pei Yuchi to take a shower first, while she made an excuse to chat with Aunt Gui some more.
Pei Yuchi seemed to have anticipated her thoughts and went upstairs without looking back. Xia looked at his no longer gentle back, her heart was infinitely complicated, and she knew that if she continued like this, she would not be able to help telling the truth.
After feeding Qingdai, she went upstairs to the bedroom, opened the door, and turned on the floor heating. A stream of warm air came to her face, and warm yellow lights fell on the wall and floor.
He was sitting in front of the dressing table writing something, and the pen tip scratched across the paper, making a slight rustling sound. His profile looked focused and determined under the desk lamp.
He did not react at all to Sia's appearance, and all the suitcases were neatly placed. Everything in the room is in order.
Xia walked slowly and passed behind him, seeing the beautiful handwriting.
She opened the closet, and everything seemed so familiar. She recalled every bit of her time in Hong Kong Island, the ups and downs of sweetness and bitterness like a roller coaster. At this moment, it feels so unreal to be back here.
From following Pei Yu to Hong Kong Island, to the kidnapping incident where his life was hanging by a thread, to the new life quietly growing in his body, and its disappearance... the ups and downs of life are like the rolling mountains and seas.
Every thrill is followed by relief and joy.
The two of them walked on the seaside, watched the misty rain on the top of the mountain, tasted various delicacies, and then went to various cupfuls of medicinal food preparations made by Pei Yuchi. Under the meticulous care and care, they felt the bond of fate. Can't help but arise spontaneously.
All of this is deeply rooted in her bones and blood. From the day he appeared, fate has tightly bound the two of them together. All kinds of tastes in the world are actually pleasant and contented.
Thinking of this, Xia couldn't help but lose her mind. She looked at Pei Yuchi's silent silhouette, feeling the warmth that was constantly coming from the floor heating, caring for every small moment in her life.
She took off her clothes and walked to the bathroom. When he passed Pei Yuchi, he didn't touch her playfully as usual. He was still concentrating on writing without paying any attention to her.
Her heart dropped slightly, and she was about to step into the bathroom, but suddenly stopped. She realized that she had forgotten about the injury on the back of Pei Yuchi's hand today, and she had been needing her help with bathing during this period. However, she was so angry today because of the cold war that she forgot about it. She quickly turned around and picked up his injured hand, which was already wet.
Before she could speak, Pei Yuchi said coldly: "It's okay now, you can get wet."
Pei Yuchi's cold words broke the silence of the room. After saying that, he continued to lower his head and write, completely ignoring her existence.
This coldness stung Xia. She glanced at him, turned around and entered the bathroom, feeling guilty and aggrieved.
...
The two of them remained silent at the dining table. Shia ate her food in small bites and secretly caught a glimpse of Pei Yuchi's tight lip line, stirring it uneasily. Chopsticks.
In the restaurant, the air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
Shia cut off a bite of vegetables, but had no intention of eating anymore. She accidentally raised her head and looked at Pei Yuchi's drooping profile. It was supposed to be a sweet time after the proposal, but unexpectedly, a trivial incident brought the relationship between the two to a freezing point in an instant. Sia wanted to say some gentle words, lest she would trouble his heart again.
"I vomited...", she tried to explain, but she swallowed the words imperceptibly.

She knew that the feeling was unbearable right now, and forcing an explanation would make it worse. It's just this sense of estrangement that casts a shadow over the bond between the two.
Thinking of this, Shia couldn't help but sigh and placed her chopsticks lightly on the dinner plate.
Aunt Gui looked at the two of them up and down, and saw that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to ask.
After dinner, Pei Yuchi nodded and stood up, "I have something to do. Let's go out for a while. You go to bed first without waiting for me."
He hurriedly picked up his coat and walked away. She was left alone to face the still-steaming dinner plate.
In the darkness, Shia traced his leaving figure, unable to hide the loss on her face. Aunt Gui silently put away the dishes, wondering in her mind that there must be some misunderstanding between the two people.
She knew that he was really angry this time and that she had done something wrong, but she couldn't explain where she felt wronged.
Si Ya was sitting alone in the restaurant, unable to concentrate, and the dishes placed in front of her were already cold.
Suddenly, everything that happened on Hong Kong Island came to mind one by one. The relationship at that time was obviously warm and comfortable.
...
The ticking sound of the clock seemed so harsh, and Siya felt a little sadder every minute.
Thinking about the company's affairs, she tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart. She called Zhang Xiuming and reported the latest progress of work in Hong Kong Island, firmly stating that she could report to the group tomorrow.
When speaking, she tried to be concise and to the point. After hearing Zhang Xiuming's arrangement, she simply responded "Well, okay!", for fear that the disappointment in her voice would make him care.
Then it was Yang Haoran who told him about the return journey, reassured him, and said that work would be officially resumed tomorrow. She originally wanted to tell him more about what was on her mind, but she revealed it intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice trembled slightly, "Forget it, I'm sleepy and want to go to bed early..."
< p> "Sister, Mr. Pei is careless and confused. Now you can finally eat something good, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts!""Naughty kid, what are you talking about? I know... …”
After hanging up the phone, it was already dark, and there was only a small night light burning lonely on the bedside in the entire bedroom. Pei Yu's delayed appearance made her restless.
Shia was reading a book on the bedside with deep thoughts, but no line of words could flow into her mind at all. From time to time she raised her head and looked out the window, trying to catch the sound of footsteps downstairs. There was no movement yet, and her heart seemed to be clenched tightly by invisible hands, making her feel uneasy. Maybe he was at fault and shouldn't have poured cold water on his worries, but he was making too much of a fuss.
In the dead of night, Xia couldn't sleep and tossed and turned in bed. She looked out the window, the moonlight was like water, and the pale moonlight shined on the floor through the curtains. The whole room was quiet, and she was the only one tossing and turning on the bed.
The bell rang late at night, awakening Qing Dai who was sleeping soundly in bed. Shia walked over and stroked it softly, saying to herself: "Qing Dai, men don't want us anymore, from now on we will sleep together..."
The night was thick, and Pei Yuchi She didn't come back either, so Xia felt that it was destined to be difficult to sleep tonight.
In fact, today she was exhausted both physically and mentally due to the fatigue along the way and the severe vomiting on the plane. As soon as my already tired body touched the familiar bed, I couldn't hold on any longer, and my eyelids dropped straight down. I was just about to fall asleep, but in my daze, I vaguely heard the sound of the door opening from downstairs...
