famous first flash marriage

"alright, you win."

she said helplessly.

Pei Yuancheng smiled and made a V sign: "Appearance is justice."

Tang Xiao was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "...Why do you deserve such a beating when you speak today?"

Pei Yuancheng's eyes widened and he pretended to be innocent: "Is there anything?"

Tang Xiao looked at Pei Yuancheng's cuteness, and felt that the hairs all over his body were about to stand on end.

"Pei Yuancheng...you really changed."

She quickly looked away.

"I feel so too."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuancheng did not contradict her this time.

"what?"

Tang Xiao looked at Pei Yuancheng in surprise.

"Maybe it's because I have played Lu Zi for a long time. Sometimes, I wonder whether I am Pei Yuancheng or Lu Chenxi, or a completely new person. This feeling makes me a little at a loss, especially recently, when facing Xiaoru, Occasionally I would be confused, knowing that I should play someone else, but there was a resisting voice inside, telling me that it wanted to be me and not someone else."

Pei Yuancheng said lightly: "I'm worried that the Pei Yuancheng in my body will die——sometimes I ask myself, is this right? I can't find the answer. It sounds a bit hypocritical, right? Heh... I know too I'm hypocritical, I can't help it. I can't control it."

"Even, there will be some strange thoughts popping up - for example, although Lu Zi is dead, his soul still exists in this world, at least in Xiaoru's eyes, I am Lu Zi, but I What about Pei Yuancheng, do I exist? Even if my soul dies, will anyone feel sorry and sad for me? Will anyone care about me like Xiaoru cares about Lu Zi?"

What Pei Yuancheng said made Tang Xiao speechless after hearing it.

All of a sudden, she realized how weak it was to say "don't be sad" and "it's okay".

"I complain casually, don't worry about it."

Pei Yuancheng shrugged and said casually.

Tang Xiao stopped.

Pei Yuancheng took two steps forward and found that Tang Xiao hadn't followed, so he also stopped and turned around to look at her in surprise.

"what happened?"

he asks.

Tang Xiao stared at him quietly, but felt extremely uncomfortable.

I am sorry.

She said this in her heart, but she couldn't get it out of her mouth.

Because for Pei Yuancheng, this sentence is also so powerless.

What effect could these fluffy words have on his current troubles?

Most of the time, she really can't help at all as a friend, except to listen.

"What's the matter, smile? With your eyes, why—"

Before Pei Yuancheng finished speaking, Tang Xiao took a step forward, opened his arms and gave him a hug.

"..."

Pei Yuancheng was completely stunned.

It took several seconds before he realized that the woman hugging him at this moment was none other than Tang Xiao.

For... why?
Is she pitying him, sympathizing with him?
Pei Yuancheng's throat rolled, and there was a tingling feeling in his heart.

As a man, it seems that he should declare that he does not need anyone's pity and sympathy——

However, it was different, he was willing to accept Xiaoxiao's sympathy and pity.

She understands him.

he thinks.

Perhaps, she is the only one in the world who can understand him.

He likes her and even loves her, but he understands their mutual identities, and he has long since stopped fantasizing about getting anything from her.

Even a hug expressing understanding and caring, he never extravagantly asked for it.

However, this move of hers directly hit the desire in his heart.

Who doesn't want to be understood?
His entanglement and hesitation have never been told to anyone except her.

Whether in front of Ji Xiaoru or in front of his subordinates, he is used to playing the role of a strong man.

It is impossible for a strong person to show his weak side to anyone.

But in front of her, he knew that he could be anyone and anything.

He had a wonderful sense of trust in her, and he believed that no matter what he became, she would accept him.

He is so lucky...to have such a friend as her in his life.

Yes, no matter what kind of feelings he has for her deep in his heart at this moment, there can only be friendship between them.

Love never belonged to him—

She has been his sister-in-law since he first met her.

In fact, this hug was only for a moment, but in Pei Yuancheng's view, it seemed as long as a century.

He thought that he would never forget this hug until he died.

"... Did it scare you?"

When Tang Xiao let go of him, seeing his dazed face, he hurriedly asked.

Pei Yuancheng shook his head as if waking up from a dream: "...No."

Tang Xiao let out a sigh of relief.

I didn't feel anything just now, but now I feel inexplicably embarrassed.

"Well... don't get me wrong, I don't have any thoughts about you, I just want to give you a comforting hug because you are in a bad mood."

Tang Xiao quickly explained.

"Oh, it turned out to be a comforting hug."

The corners of Pei Yuancheng's mouth curled up, showing a cynical smile: "I thought you were suddenly bewitched by my handsome appearance, and couldn't help but throw yourself into my arms—ah!"

Tang Xiao slammed Pei Yuancheng on the forehead.

"If you talk nonsense again, I won't be polite to you!"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Pei Yuancheng covered his forehead, his handsome face wrinkled into a ball.

Tang Xiao's blow was really heavy... He didn't show mercy at all.

But this time, the unnaturalness between the two disappeared.

"You are really getting more and more out of shape..."

Tang Xiao shook his head, feeling that Pei Yuancheng's mouth is very similar to that tortured Pei Yuancheng when they first met.

Since when did this person not show his image?

Last time, or last time?

She can't remember.

Tang Xiao walked forward with a straight face. Pei Yuancheng stood still and rubbed his forehead for a while, then followed slowly with his hands in his coat pockets.

In the office building in the distance, Ye Chen stood in front of the window watching all this, his handsome long eyebrows could not help but frown slightly.

What is the relationship between them?
Is Dr. Tang not as loyal as she appears?
Logically speaking, he shouldn't doubt Dr. Tang.

However, the fact is before his eyes, it was Dr. Tang who took the initiative to hug the man.

Ye Chen felt unable to understand all this.

But there was one thing he had to admit, that was the way those two people stood together and laughed, they really matched each other very well.

When Tang Xiao and Pei Yuancheng returned to the office together, Ye Chen was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Tang Xiao knew that the other party couldn't hear him, so he helped him refill the cold tea in the cup with boiling water.

Ye Chen raised his head and looked at Tang Xiao: "Doctor Tang, you are back."

For some reason, the way Ye Chen looked at her at this moment made her feel a little strange.

That look was very different from usual.

Tang Xiao's thoughts turned, as if he had noticed something.

Could it be...he saw it just now?
Her hug really shouldn't be, but in that situation, she couldn't think of anything that could comfort Pei Yuancheng more than a hug.

Isn't a hug much more powerful than light, empty words?
It's a pity that she couldn't explain all this to Ye Chen.

She even thought, why did she explain to Ye Chen?

The clear is clear, she has nothing to explain.

Besides, the relationship between Ye Chen and her is nothing more than the relationship between a doctor and a patient, or, the relationship between a guitar teacher and a student.

"Well, Ye Chen, are you here to get the books?"

Tang Xiao smiled at him gently as usual.

But Ye Chen looked away from her, and said in a slightly blunt tone: "Well, yes."

Tang Xiao saw it, and was even more sure that his guess was correct.

Ye Chen is still young, so it's normal to think too much about this kind of thing.

"Okay, which ones do you want? I'll get them for you."

Tang laughed.

Pei Yuancheng stood aside with his hands in his pockets, silent.

Looking coldly at Ye Chen's every move, he could understand one thing——

This kid really likes to laugh.

Ye Chen originally wanted to go to the cafeteria with Tang Xiao for lunch that day, and he was willing to wait patiently in the office for Tang Xiao to come back because of this consideration.

But ever since he saw that scene, he felt a small lump in his heart.

As long as this pimple is there, he can't face each other normally.

So, after taking the book, he left in a hurry.

Standing by the bookshelf, Pei Yuancheng watched Tang Xiao bend over to organize the books, and said with a tusk, "It's very neat. Xiaoxiao, don't you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

"That's not it."

Tang Xiao shook his head, looking with satisfaction at the bookshelf that he had tidied up and couldn't pick out a single flaw.

"I'm used to putting all the books neatly—at home, Cheng Lie did the same. I don't want my office to see the bookshelves in a mess when he comes back."

Pei Yuancheng shook his head and said, "Why, first of all, it's impossible for your place to be a mess. In fact, even if your place becomes a garbage dump, Retsuko will help you tidy it up without frowning."

For this, he has full confidence.

"It sounds like you know him better than I do."

Tang laughed teasingly.

"Don't forget, I've known Retsuko much longer than you have known him."

Pei Yuancheng said leisurely.

When he said this, Tang Xiao was taken aback.

"you're right."

She thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, you do know him better than I do. Fortunately, I still have the rest of my life to get to know him slowly and deeply."

A longing smile bloomed on her rosy lips: "I think, the more I know him, the more I will love him."

Pei Yuancheng coughed and couldn't see this woman.

"Ahem...be careful with Xiu En'ai," he said sourly, "I can show my face by myself... I am convinced. If Liezi is here, I really don't know what you two can show."

"I do not know either."

Tang smiled and said, "If you're curious, you'll find out when he comes back."

"Hey, can you be gentle with me? It's because of our friendship for so many years."

President Pei looked helpless at this moment.

My heart said, take pity on him, will this single dog die?

Tang Xiao just wanted to say that you and Xiaoru can also show off, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

No matter how much Pei Yuancheng plays Lu Chenxi, he is not Lu Chenxi.

He can like Xiaoru, but he can't fall in love with Xiaoru like Lu Zi.
