"I didn't leave you. I just went to work."

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.

"Stop making trouble, Xiaoru."

"what--!!"

Ji Xiaoru suddenly covered her ears and screamed.

Pei Yuancheng closed his eyes, the pain on his face intensified.

But Ji Xiaoru was completely immersed in her own pain.

She couldn't understand why he couldn't even satisfy her with such a small request?
She couldn't accept it, why did he treat her so cruelly?
What did she do wrong?Make him hate her so much?
She has tried her best to please him!

She didn't want to see a psychiatrist at all, but he said she needed it, so she went obediently every day.

When he was working in the study at night, she had been waiting for him in the bedroom alone for a long time!

Why, now he still wants her to wait?
why? ?

Does he hate her that much?

Or is it that her presence has made him unbearable?

Pei Yuancheng stood there with forbearance, his face pale and painful, motionless, waiting for her sharp and terrifying screams to stop without saying a word.

After Ji Xiaoru finished venting, she suddenly felt scared when she met the other party's calm eyes.

Why didn't he scold her, why didn't he get angry?

Had he gotten to the point where he was too lazy to react to her?

Ji Xiaoru was extremely desperate.

She didn't know what to do to get his attention again.

Do you want to apologize?

Will he forgive himself if he apologizes?
She stretched out her skinny hands, trying to grab his hand, but he sideways dodged it.

"go to sleep."

He walked towards the study.

The way he avoided her hurt her so much.

He loathes her so much and avoids her like a snake.

Obviously it wasn't like this before!

Obviously he was so kind to her before, wishing he could spend every minute with her.

Why do men change when they say they change?
She didn't understand, and she was unwilling to accept it!
"I was wrong, Lu Zi, I shouldn't have lost my temper just now, don't be angry... can you forgive me?"

She stood there begging helplessly.

He kept walking, as if he didn't hear him at all.

She knelt down slowly and covered her face with her hands.

Guilt, self-blame, resentment... came to her heart one after another.

But soon, she heard the "click" of the door being closed.

He raised his head, and sure enough, he saw that the study door was closed tightly, and his voice was no longer in front of his eyes.

She wondered blankly, what happened?

Why does he have no pity for her now?
Obviously, he cared about her very, very much before.

Even if she frowned, he would be terribly nervous.

Not to mention she shed tears.

He never wanted to make her sad.

Now she can ignore her pain.

She could not accept such a change, and was extremely confused by it.

However, not only was he unwilling to give her an answer, he even disdained to pay attention to her.

This kind of cognition made her feel like a trapped animal, struggling, tossing herself to the point of bleeding, but it was useless.

Pei Yuancheng sat alone in the study room, he didn't have anything to do, he just wanted to catch his breath.

As long as Ji Xiaoru is around, he will feel suffocated and tormented.

This feeling grows with each passing day.

He knew he couldn't blame Ji Xiaoru, so he just accepted his fate and endured it silently.

He leaned back on the recliner, first closed his eyes to let go of his thoughts, and after a while, picked up the phone.

Since leaving Huaguo, he has rarely used this mobile phone to contact anyone.

As the CEO of the Pei Group, it is impossible for him to have no social contacts, but all those are temporarily handed over to the secretary, including the mobile phone used for communication.

However, only a few of the closest relatives and friends know the contact information of this mobile phone.

Including WeChat in the mobile phone, all contacts do not add up to more than ten people.

He basically doesn't use WeChat at ordinary times, and of course, no one will send him a message.

At this time, bored, I reached out and clicked on Moments one by one to look at them, but I also felt that it was boring.

Finally, his finger landed on Tang Xiao's head portrait, he paused, and clicked open.

She seldom posts on Moments recently, but if she scrolls forward, she can see a few photos with her friends, and one or two selfies.

Pei Yuancheng had seen these photos many times.

But every time I watch it again, I still can't help but raise the corners of my mouth.

At any time, she could calm him down.

After looking at her photo for a while, a strong urge to talk to her suddenly surged in his heart.

It's a bit late, looking for her now, will it disturb her rest?
After thinking about it for a while, Pei Yuancheng sent her a picture of the scenery of Yingguo taken two days ago.

I thought I would not receive any response, but who knew, the phone immediately rang a message notification.

For a moment, Pei Yuancheng felt his heart beating faster.

"It's so beautiful, it looks like I had a lot of fun in Eagle Country."

Tang Xiao replied.

Pei Yuancheng pursed his lips and typed with a smile: "It's okay. How about you, how are you doing?"

"As usual, quite calm. When will you and Xiaoru come back?"

Pei Yuancheng paused with his fingers, not knowing how to explain the current situation to Tang Xiao.

Everything didn't go as smoothly as expected.

However, he didn't want to worry her.

He would rather take all the pressure on himself.

"almost."

"really?"

Tang Xiao became visibly excited: "How is Xiaoru now? Can she recognize you?"

"Not yet, but don't worry."

Pei Yuancheng thought for a while, then typed again: "I will definitely let the doctor cure her."

"Pei Zi, thank you for your hard work."

Tang Xiao sent an emoji of a little man holding a flower.

Pei Yuancheng smiled when he saw it.

"It's not hard, it should be. How are you and Retsuko lately?"

"It's good. I have no other wish, but I hope he can stay with me at home more often and not go out on missions all the time."

Tang Xiao typed very fast, chatting with Tang Xiao, Pei Yuancheng had the illusion that the other party was sitting in front of him.

"Then tell Liezi to let him retire early."

"Haha, at his age, I'll raise him after retirement?"

"Why, you don't want to?"

Pei Yuancheng laughed unconsciously while typing.

He could imagine Tang Xiao curling his lips when he saw this sentence.

Sure enough, Tang Xiao returned his expression of a kitten hugging his chest.

"Who says I don't want to?"

Pei Yuancheng looked at the kitten and felt that it was very similar to Tang Xiao.

"Teasing you."

Pei Yuancheng thought for a while and said, "I'll find you guys for dinner when I get back."

"Okay, what do you want to eat, I invite you."

"All the Manchurians?"

"Okay, please."

"Is Doctor Tang so generous?"

"It's rare to invite you once, and it doesn't matter how much money it is. Besides, if my salary is not enough to invite you, it's fine to use Chenglie's card."

Tang Xiao sent another winking cat emoji.

Pei Yuancheng smiled again: "This cat really looks like you."

"That's right! Cheng Lie said the same thing."

"Haha, it's getting late, go to sleep."

"OK, good night."

Pei Yuancheng put down his phone, closed his eyes and leaned on the recliner, feeling rare and relaxed.

Just then, he heard a slight knock from outside the door.

Pei Yuancheng walked to the door, opened it, and saw Ji Xiaoru standing timidly at the door.

"what happened?"

he asks.

"Lu Zi, don't be angry with me, okay?"

She said submissively: "I know it's all my fault, don't be angry, okay? I won't lose my temper anymore..."

"I'm not angry anymore."

Pei Yuancheng was a little helpless.

"Then...can you give me a kiss?"

Ji Xiaoru rubbed her fingers, her eyes full of longing.

Pei Yuancheng looked down at her.

Frankly speaking, he didn't love her and had no desire to kiss her.

What's more, she has become more and more hysterical recently, and he has only a sense of responsibility for her.

"Xiaoru, go to sleep."

He touched her cheek.

She grabbed his hand all of a sudden and held on tightly.

Her palms were clammy and sweated profusely, her fingers were thin and she worked hard.

He didn't break free, but bored deep in his heart.

"kiss Me."

she said stubbornly.

Pei Yuancheng shook his head: "Xiaoru, don't force me to do things I don't want to do, okay?"

Tears glistened in her large, empty eyes.

"Why? You weren't like this before...Why are you not even willing to kiss me now? "

"..."

Pei Yuancheng was speechless.

Because I am not him.

Because I don't love you.

Because you didn't cherish it when that person loved you deeply.

Some things happen in a cycle of cause and effect.

But the answer is hard to say.

He refused to say, and she stubbornly waited for an answer.

But most of the time in life, people simply can't wait for others to give them answers.

If you can't find the answer yourself, you never have the answer.

"Is it because I've become ugly recently?"

She touched her face with a flustered expression: "I... I've been too thin recently, and my complexion is too bad, right?"

"No."

He shook his head and said, "Xiaoru, you are beautiful, you have always been beautiful."

"Why is that? Why don't you want to kiss me?"

She was in a terrible pain.

She thought that she must have become ugly and disgusting, so he didn't want to touch her.

She hated herself so much, she couldn't help thinking, how can I make him like me like before?
she does not know.

It seems that in the past, she did not deliberately do anything to please him, she was just herself, and the way he looked at her was always full of love.

Back then he couldn't help kissing her no matter what she was doing.

Even when the two went out on a date secretly, he often kept turning his head to look at her, watching her, and kissing her desperately.

Back then she even bored him occasionally and joked that he was a walking teddy.

He always laughed it off, no matter what she said about him, he was very good-tempered.

At that time, he never had the slightest bit of impatience with her.

But now.

He was like a piece of cold-hearted wood to her.

She didn't know what was wrong with him.

She looked at his familiar face, eager to return to the intimacy with him as before.

"Lu Chenxi, if you don't want to kiss me, how about I kiss you? I really... love you so much."

She looked at him tearfully and said.

He froze for a moment, and said, "Xiaoru, don't..."

Before he finished speaking, she had already rushed over, wrapped her arms around his neck, and blocked his lips.
