gentle fairy tale

Pei Songxi meets Ming Ran in the parking lot.

Ming Ran is an unsmiling and cold beauty, but at this moment she lowered her head and stared blankly at a four or five year old boy.

Pei Songxi honked the horn and lowered the car window: "Ming Ran, why are you here?"

Seeing her, Ming Ran seemed to see a life-saving straw: "My wicked brother...in order to go on vacation with my sister-in-law, he threw the child at me and drove away with my car. How did you coax your nephew? I……"

As she spoke, the child burst into tears: "Auntie is fierce!"

Pei Songxi smiled faintly, seeing that she was in a hurry and inexperienced: "You come up first, and Mianmian will help you coax her."

Yu Mian is gentle and patient with children. She herself is still a half-grown girl, and she already knows how to coax children. She took out the toffee from her pocket and played a little game with him. After a while, the child stopped crying .

Ming Ran rubbed his forehead: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Yongtai, eat first, then do some shopping."

"I'm with you."

Pei Songxi seldom comes to the shopping mall, and occasionally she comes out to take Yu Mian to dinner. There is a high-end Cantonese-style tea restaurant here, which serves her favorite egg tarts.

There are not many people in the restaurant, the environment is very good, and there is a special play area for children.While waiting for the food to be served, Yu Mian took Mingyao's children over to play with colored balls.

Ming Ran raised his teacup and clinked glasses with Pei Songxi, chatting casually: "Are you settled with the young master of the Wen family?"

Pei Songxi took a sip of tea, and the fragrance of tea wafted up. Her cold and delicate face was full of indifference: "Nothing."

Ming Ran sighed softly: "Aunt Zhou has been dead for so long. Don't make things difficult for yourself, and don't make too much trouble with your family."

Pei Songxi nodded: "Yes. I know."

Ming Ran also has a cold and introverted personality, and he didn't know what to persuade him for a while.

They have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is not bad. They have worked together for so many years, but they have always been gentlemen's friendship. They respect each other, but they are not close.

When the waiter served the dishes, Pei Songxi waved his hands in the distance, his cold and indifferent expression instantly melted like ice and snow, appearing gentle and peaceful.

Yu Mian led Mingyao over, smiling brightly, and was so happy when she saw her favorite egg tart, picked one up and handed it to Pei Songxi: "This is the best!"

She is still like when she was a child, she must have the first bite of something she likes.

Pei Songxi actually doesn't like sweets, but he took a small golden egg tart and took a bite: "Mmm, it's delicious."

Yu Mian frowned contentedly: "Yes, I like it very much! Sister Ming Ran, you can eat too."

Ming Ran nodded: "...Well, thank you."

Calling her sister... It's all Wei Yi's fault, if she insists on calling her sister, her seniority will be messed up.

Coming out of the restaurant, Ming Ran wanted to bring his nephew downstairs, the child still wanted to play with Yu Mian, so he clung to her and Yu Mian coaxed him for a while.

Ming Ran couldn't help laughing: "Songxi, it seems that I don't need to persuade you anymore. With such a caring little baby, you are more or less popular."

Pei Songxi also smiled lightly, nodded to her, and then turned around: "Mianmian, let's go."

Yu Mian ran over and pulled her sleeve, and waved to Ming Ran: "Sister Ming Ran, goodbye, see you next time, Yaoyao!"

Pei Songxi was very happy to see her: "Do you like playing with children?"

Yu Mian thought for a while: "It doesn't count."

But elder sister Ming Ran is Aunt Pei's friend, she hopes Aunt Pei can talk to her friends more.Aunt Pei...she has a rather cold personality. She spends all her time with her except for work, and rarely goes out with her friends. She always feels guilty.

Until they walked to the underwear shop, Yu Mian stopped, and took her hand embarrassedly: "Aunt Pei, do you really want to go in?"

Pei Songxi is actually not used to it.

In fact, she rarely came to underwear shops. When she was young, Aunt Zhang prepared everything for her at home. She never thought about these things, and she never thought that she would bring a little girl to choose clothes.

But she is an adult, and most girls in the cardamom age are delicate and sensitive, and easily shy.But she wants to tell her that this is normal and a beautiful thing.

She stroked Yu Mian's hair, her voice was reassuring: "I'm here, don't be nervous."

Yu Mian raised her head, looked at her, and nodded.

There are many types of underwear in the store, suspenders for girls who are just developing, cotton vests and thinner girls' bras...

Yu Mian quietly grasped the corner of Pei Songxi's clothes again, watching her pick out for her, nodding from time to time, more often looking down at her toes.

After choosing a style, you still have to try on the size and size.

But Pei Songxi saw the sensitivity and awkwardness of the little girl, so she smiled and chose two: "It's all packed up."

Yu Mian was taken aback: "Huh?"

Pei Songxi said it's okay: "Go home and try again. I'll go to checkout, you wait for me here."

Feeling her meticulous care, Yu Mian's eyes felt a little sore.

After Pei Songxi finished paying the bill, he followed her out, holding her tightly by the corner of her clothes, like a child who hasn't grown up, close, trusting and dependent.

When they got home, Pei Songxi put down the shopping bag and shook her fingertips: "What's wrong?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "It's nothing...just a little embarrassed."

Pei Songxi handed her the shopping bag: "Don't be embarrassed, Mianmian. Go up and try to see which one suits you."

Yu Mian hummed, took the bag and ran upstairs, her ears were red, so cute.

Back in her room, Yu Mian held the corner of the bag and poured it down...there are so many, I bought all kinds of similar models.One is a pure cotton tank top and one is a button-up... kind of girly bra.

She hugged the pillow and fell on the bed, feeling that the embarrassment in the underwear store today had gradually eased, and she looked at the ceiling in a daze again.

They are all very good. Aunt Pei bought them for her, and she likes them all.

In the evening, Yu Mian reads a book in the room.

Pei Songxi came to see her and asked her, "Did you find the right one?"

Yu Mian nodded, a little embarrassed: "Well... I've tried it."

Although I have grown up a bit, it seems that I don't need that kind of bra for the time being, just a pure cotton vest... that's enough for now.

The windows are half open, and the early autumn wind is blowing in.

She took a shower and was wearing pajamas. The shampoo was peach-scented and sweet.

Pei Songxi sat down in front of her desk, looked at her thick manuscript paper and the test papers in the folder: "If you are under a lot of study pressure recently, you can consider not going to the weekend painting class."

"No need," Yu Mian clenched her fists, "I'm not tired, Aunt Pei, I like drawing."

Pei Songxi nodded, and she reached out to touch the end of her half-dried hair: "Why didn't you dry your hair?"

Yu Mian stuck out her tongue guiltily: "Oh, I'm so tired holding the hair dryer, I don't want to blow it anymore."

Pei Songxi patted her cheek: "Little slacker."

She called her a little slacker, but she still indulged her little laziness, sat down on the sofa with a hair dryer, patted the place beside her: "Come here, I'll blow dry your hair."

Yu Mian stood up abruptly, kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the sofa, lay down on her legs as a pillow, and smiled sweetly at her: "Ah, blowing your hair is pretty good too."

Pei Songxi tapped her forehead, turned on the hair dryer, and brushed the girl's black and smooth hair with her fingertips, recalling the interesting things about her childhood: "I used to say that I was going to become a nun, remember?"

Yu Mian groaned, covering her face in embarrassment: "What are you talking about, the wind is too noisy, I can't hear it!"

Pei Songxi laughed, not exposing her little trick of deception.

Thinking about how much black beans and sesame seeds I drank in the past six years, the hair on my fingertips is tough and smooth, it seems to be very useful.

She was driving on a mid-range wind, blowing very slowly.

Occasionally, I feel a little dazed, so it turns out that six years have passed so quickly... In fact, she spends very little time with Mianmian. She is working during the day and visits her at night. Sitting on the table with arms propped up to do the questions, with a serious and cute expression.

After she regained consciousness and turned off the hair dryer, she found that Yu Mian was resting on her lap, sleeping peacefully.

Pei Songxi gently put down the hair dryer, just like picking her up countless times when she was a child, but once again she truly felt that she had grown into a little girl, slender and cute.

She covered Yu Mian with a quilt, and then she remembered something, went back to her room to get a book, and put it on her bedside.

……

Early the next morning.

Yu Mian was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock, she sat up and realized that today is Saturday, there is no class, and she forgot to turn off the alarm clock last night.

She sat on the bed and stretched out, the sunlight danced gently across the glass.

Hey, why is there a book here?

The title of the book is: "Things Girls Need to Know", did Aunt Pei put it here?

Yu Mian jumped off the bed and went to look for Pei Songxi, but before taking two steps, she saw the sticky note on the bedside.

It read: weekend business trip.Contact Wei Yi if you need anything.

Yu Mian pursed his mouth.

Well, she's on a business trip again.

So she sat back on the bed and read the book Pei Songxi left her.

The first half is about physiological knowledge, and the second half is about social phenomena—trafficking, employment discrimination, commercial surrogacy... The world’s hostility towards women is sometimes unimaginable.

This book... should be carefully selected by Aunt Pei. The paper has traces of folded pages, bookmarks are placed in some chapters, and horizontal lines are drawn with pencils under very important issues, silently reminding her how to cherish Own.

There are comments in some places, her handwriting is elegant and elegant, and it says: A girl's growth is like a flower, which will bloom slowly in the depths of time-this is a very beautiful thing.

Yu Mian lay down, put the book on her face, lost in thought.

Pei Songxi has always treated her with meticulous care, probably because of a small omission not long ago, so this time he wants to make up for her negligence in all aspects.

It's just that she has a cold and introverted personality and doesn't speak easily, so she chose this way.

This is her special companionship.

Yu Mian has always known that they are not family members, and Aunt Pei is very busy, so she seldom acts like a baby and takes the initiative to seek her company; but they are obviously like family members, Pei Songxi has always paid attention to and respected her feelings. She is very good.

It's just that she feels a little lost occasionally in her heart, and she longs for more love and attention in her heart.

But at this moment, Yu Mian suddenly realized that she is as timeless as water, gentle and delicate.
