The thunder from the sky and the rain came one after another, and the thunderbolts were reflected on the windows. The heavy raindrops gathered together and fell along the eaves. The clouds and rain in the house had stopped, leaving only stars and candles shining outside the tent.

There was a mess outside the tent. The Jun kiln melon-edge vase on the dressing table was teetering on the edge, and willow branches were scattered randomly. Even the clothes beam was leaning against the wall.

In the half-dark light and shadow, Pei Jiaoran was lying with his eyes closed. Next to her, Li Xiujing was lying on her side, his eyes lingering on her body.

"Do you like this house?" Li Xiujing asked.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran laughed out loud. His eyes fell on Li Xiujing's slightly open neckline, where there were traces of her abuse. He raised his lips and asked, "Have you never met the owner of this house before you bought it?"

"No, I picked it directly from the rental agency. Don't worry, it's not a haunted house." Li Xiujing frowned as if thinking of something, "Is it possible that you know the owner of this house?"

"Yeah. You know him too~" The end of his voice was deliberately prolonged, and Pei Jiaoran came closer to Li Xiujing, "This house is in my name. So your salary belongs to me."

Li Xiujing was stunned when he heard Pei Jiaoran's words. After coming back to his senses and staring directly at her, he asked why she was so calm when she saw the house. She was convinced that this place originally belonged to her. Even though she had saved so much money, it still ended up in her pocket.

Sensing Li Xiujing's gaze, Pei Jiaoran put her hand on his throat, opened her lips and said slowly: "Don't worry, I will take care of you."

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the mischievous hands on his neck. Li Xiujing reached out and grabbed her and moved her away. He poked Pei Jiaoran on the cheek and said, "You little fox, you know how to plot against me."

After the words fell upon his ears, Pei Jiaoran just smiled. If she and he want to be sweet forever, they must have a fatal trump card that can kill them together. Because no matter how close the relationship is, it is based on cooperation with interests. And cooperation itself is constantly weighing the benefits and costs of its own.

"But you didn't suffer, right?" Pei Jiaoran said softly.

This time it was Li Xiujing's turn to remain silent. He seemed like an old monk in trance, his eyes fixed on Pei Jiaoran's face, and he sighed slightly.

The two fell asleep in silence. The night seemed particularly long and lonely amid the thunder.

The thunder did not subside until dawn.

The warmth around him seemed to have dissipated for a long time, leaving only a little warmth. It reminded Pei Jiaoran that there was someone close to her lying beside her. He has left now.

After opening the curtain and staying in bed, Pei Jiaoran put on his shoes and walked to the table. There was a food box on the table, and a note was pressed under the food box. He reached out and pulled out the note.

I saw the note saying, "I'm going to go on duty, and there is morning food in the food box."

Set the note aside. Pei Jiaoran opened the lid of the box, and the aroma of food rushed out. It's filled with her favorite foods.

Pei Jiaoran didn't pay much attention to the fact that his sexual desires were being spied on. There are countless delicious foods in the world, and it would be a pity if she wasted the opportunity to enjoy them because she was afraid that people would know what she likes.

After quietly eating the morning meal, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the tidied room. He looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table again, shook his head and put them away.

Her house is quite big. But according to the law, it is not illegal for two people to own such a house.

It has rained in the garden, exuding a fishy earthy smell. The flowers and trees planted in the garden all retain the traces of rainwater nourishment. The chirping of birds in the trees makes the garden a little more lively.

Pei Jiaoran stood in the corridor with his hands behind his hands and looked at Chun Yang for a while. He turned around and pushed the door open, then rode his horse straight to Zhongnan Mountain outside the city.

Zhongnan Mountain is also a grand scene in spring, with an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. Pei Jiaoran wore a power fence on his head and passed through the crowd, leaving only a mysterious figure behind.

Dismount in front of Zhulin Jingshe. Pei Jiaoran was about to knock on the door when he saw Cui Boyu walking out of the house.

"Uncle Boyu." Pei Jiaoran called.

Cui Boyu quickly stepped forward and opened the door for him. He said warmly: "Young lady just came back, why don't you take a good rest."

"No need. It's a rare opportunity to take a break and come to Zhongnan Mountain to get some fresh air." Pei Jiaoran looked around, "Where's my brother? Why didn't I see him?"

"The husband has gone to discuss things with his friends." Cui Boyu said with a warm smile, "I'm afraid the girl is not here for the husband."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and squinted at Cui Boyu in front of him.

She met Cui Boyu when she was five years old. When Aniang and Aye returned from an outing, they also brought someone back with them. That year was also the season when peach blossoms first bloomed after the Waking of Insects. Neither Aye nor Aniang mentioned a word about his origins, and only allowed the brother and sister to recognize him as their teacher.

She was also somewhat famous at that time and did not take this gentlemanly teacher seriously. In daily conversations, her style of speech is also quite sharp. However, Cui Boyu smiled and said nothing every time and did not blame her for not respecting the teacher.

As time went by, she began to look down on this teacher less and less. He simply set up a game and got Cui Boyu out. He hid aside and watched him coldly, thinking about the way out. In the end, he broke out with a look of embarrassment on his face. When he saw himself, he still had a gentle look on his face.

He said, "The young lady is sharp and proud. Such a character is easily broken and needs to be changed."

When Aye Aniang, who had always been gentle, learned of this, she was punished by having to kneel in the study all night. Aniang said to her, "You can be proud and willful, but only if you have the capital to protect everything. Jiajia, you must have the power to decide how the chess game is played. Otherwise, any approach that ignores the lives of others is asking for death." .”

Aniang’s words were very cold and realistic. And Cui Boyu's words were even more like a prophecy. This was indeed the case for her in her previous life. After that experience, she also restrained herself a lot. I also learned from Cui Boyu his identity and a few words about how he met his mother.

After gathering his thoughts, Pei Jiaoran said: "What exactly do the Cui family want to do?"

"The story about Bashui was Cui Yugui's work. The Cui family wants to cooperate with you, girl." Cui Boyu said in a gentle tone.

"Cooperate with me?" Thinking of Cui Yuzhang's behavior in Heshuo, Pei Jiaoran burst into laughter. "They wanted to kill me before, but now they want to cooperate with me. It seems that they are not very sincere."

Having seen the faces of these powerful people many times, Pei Jiaoran didn't have much trust in them. Especially the Cui family looks so ambitious.

Cui Boyu lowered his head and said warmly: "Young lady, there is really no need to agree to them. But I feel that if you can't give the Cui family an answer, they will probably have their own plans to deal with you."

After listening to Cui Boyu's words, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes. Judging from the Cui family's position in the history books, it is indeed possible to continue to use different methods to deal with her.

These are treacherous times right now. Those who cannot cooperate may be potential crises. And what she has to do is to make cooperation possible.
