After the love-brain rebirth, he became popular in the love variety show

Liu Sijing's attitude made Pei Xiao even more certain that Liu Sijing and Fu Yu had some relationship, and that this relationship caused Fu Yu to be hostile to Liu Sijing and even tried to kill Liu Sijing.

Pei Xiao pulled the corner of her mouth, and Liu Sijing couldn't help but emphasize to her again:

"Yaoyao, I'm serious. I don't want to take any risks."

"Why did you return to China?"

Pei Xiao did not directly answer Liu Sijing's question, but asked in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

"I……"

"Aren't you here to investigate Fu Yu's affairs?"

"I'm doing this for you."

Pei Xiao chuckled, and Liu Sijing felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

"You haven't contacted me for so many years, how come you thought of returning to China for me?"

Pei Xiao pondered for a while, then spoke directly and bluntly.

Liu Sijing knew that he and Pei Xiao would eventually face this problem. He was afraid that Pei Xiao didn't care about this problem at all, which meant that Pei Xiao didn't care about him at all.

"I saw the news that you participated in the LG show before, but I didn't expect you to enter the entertainment industry."

"That's thanks to the fact that I'm a little bit popular now. It's all my fault for being so vague before."

Pei Xiao picked up a piece of snack and said lightly.

"No, it's not. I... I also came back to China to handle work. The Liu Group has some business expansion in China."

Pei Xiao naturally didn't believe what Liu Sijing said. He had never returned to China in his dream.

Thinking of the ending of his dream, Pei Xiao fell silent again.

Liu Sijing could also see that Pei Xiao had lost trust in him, but he still wanted to explain further.

"I've always missed you, but after learning that Fu Yu had murderous intentions towards me, I didn't dare return to China to look for you. I was afraid that he would turn his target towards you. I saw you at the show and checked your news, only then did I know that you had run into Fu Yu. I was worried that he would target you after knowing your identity, so I returned to China to look for you under the pretext of business development."

Liu Sijing's words made Pei Xiao, who had always had a mystery in his heart, suddenly realize.

No wonder when she first saw Fu Yu in "Falling in Love", she saw a hint of rejection and disgust in his eyes towards her. He had long known that she was Liu Sijing's first love.

Perhaps in his dream, he also knew clearly that she regarded him as a substitute for Liu Sijing, so he never had any feelings for her.

"You think I'll be safe if you don't return, so I have to thank you for keeping the news of your life from me."

"No...that's not what I meant..."

"Brother Sijing, do you know how I have been through these years?"

Pei Xiao lowered her head and laughed. She suddenly felt that the pain she had experienced in the past few years and the paranoid obsession in her dreams had become a joke when she heard the news that Liu Sijing was still alive.

Her eyes gradually turned red, and she drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, wanting to tell the person in front of her everything. On those nights when she lost him, when she closed her eyes, she could only see his figure, like a walking corpse living in the world.

That could be considered a tragic fate from her previous life. He kept saying that he didn't return to China to protect her, but she died in the bathtub of her own apartment, and no one knew about it until her body rotted and stank.

But in the end, Pei Xiao only talked about how he lost himself and lived a muddled life in the past few years.

The dream of her previous life was pressed deep in her heart.

"Everyone says that 'Falling in Love' is just a variety show, but I gained a lot from this show. Chu Jiale and Gu Panxia told me that people should have dreams and goals when living in this world, and Jiang Ziyi told me to respect my career. Only when I become strong can I live the life I want."

"I used to think that my life was ruined. So I chose to enter the entertainment industry, just to make money. Because I couldn't act, many people scolded me, and those who liked me only liked me for my face. At that time, I thought that the people who truly loved me were no longer in this world, and no one would love me from then on."

When Liu Sijing heard this, his heart trembled slightly, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to restrain the waves in his heart.

"But Pei Xiujie told me that if I learn to love myself, someone will naturally love me."

Liu Sijing felt a slight tingling pain in his chest, and even breathing became a little difficult. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement, but the emotions kept surging up like a tide.

Liu Sijing slowly closed his eyes, and every detail of his time with her emerged in his mind. Those details that he had once ignored now seemed so clear.

But all that vanished into thin air, transforming into the scene of Pei Xiao and Pei Xiujie smiling at each other in the car.

Pei Xiao's mind flashed with Pei Xiujie's face with a gentle smile, and her originally indifferent expression softened a little. She looked at Liu Sijing in front of her, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Brother Sijing, he and I really like each other, he is a very good person. Our relationship really ended after I met Pei Xiujie."

Pei Xiao's voice was calm and firm, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.

Liu Sijing felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard Pei Xiao's words. Pei Xiao was not talking about after the car accident, nor when he saw him again, but after he met Pei Xiujie.

He realized that Pei Xiao had been suffering for a long time under the shadow of his death, and the appearance of Pei Xiujie helped her get out of this shadow. In this situation, he no longer had any chance.

At that moment, he finally understood that some things, once missed, can never be recovered. He regretted it, but it was too late.

Even many years later, every time Liu Sijing recalled his conversation with Pei Xiao that day, this sentence replayed in his mind very clearly.

It is like a sharp blade that will pierce deeply into his heart, causing him to feel endless pain and regret.

"us……"

Liu Sijing's throat was a little tight, and he couldn't speak. But after Pei Xiao said this, he felt much more relieved.

"Do you really like him?"

Liu Sijing still didn't give up. He stared at Pei Xiao closely, trying to find even a little bit of attachment and reluctance to leave him from her face.

Pei Xiao did not avoid it, and faced Liu Sijing's fiery gaze openly, and answered firmly and seriously:

"I really like him."

These five simple words were like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Sijing's heart.

He suddenly deflated, like a punctured balloon, and slumped on the sofa.

He looked at the confident, beautiful girl in front of him who exuded happiness, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

This was the little girl he was supposed to protect...

But he lost her...
