gentle fairy tale

The September night breeze is already chilling.

The river in the distance reflected the bright lights on both sides of the river and the hustle and bustle at night, but the street lights nearby were somewhat dim, reflecting the two blurred figures on the road.

Wen Zhizhen smiled softly: "Songxi, how have you been these few years?"

Pei Songxi looked at the river in the distance, and his voice was as calm as water: "It's not bad. What about you, didn't you recuperate abroad? How did you come back?"

"I'm in good shape recently. I haven't been back for a long time. I want to go home and have a look."

"Your family didn't object?"

"No," Wen Zhizhen smiled gently, "They also want me to come back and finalize the marriage contract."

Pei Songxi looked indifferent, with an expression that had nothing to do with him: "I guessed it."

Seeing her indifference, Wen Zhizhen smiled helplessly: "Songxi, you still don't care about this matter as always."

Pei Songxi smiled a little: "Aren't you the same? You don't care. If you can save a lot of trouble through a certain form, I can accept it. You know, I don't like to pay for an insignificant Little things have bothered me for too long.”

They are friends who have known each other for many years. When they are relative, they are as plain as water and have similar temperaments.If there is any man in this world that she does not hate, it is probably Wen Zhizhen.Marriage is a trouble, and she just wants to deal with it simply.

Wen Zhizhen is a very suitable candidate, with a calm personality, generous and kind, and grandma likes him very much.And... Mianmian would probably like him.

Wen Zhizhen shook his head: "I'm different from you. Forget it, tell me in time when you change your mind. Before that, if you need me, I will be here."

Pei Songxi hummed lightly and said nothing.

The trail along the river was about to come to an end, Wen Zhizhen stopped and said, "It's a bit late for me to take you back."

"No, you are not in good health, go back and rest early."

Wen Zhizhen didn't agree: "It's not easy to take a taxi around here. I drove here. Don't worry, I'm not a paper man, and I'm not that fragile."

Pei Songxi called a car when he came, and it was really late now, so he didn't refuse his kindness, opened the car door and got in.

When passing by a Japanese snack shop, Wen Zhizhen stepped on the brakes and said to her apologetically, "Sorry, I want to get out of the car to buy something. It should be closed when I come back later."

He got out of the car and came back after shopping. Pei Songxi saw two bags of hazelnut-flavored biscuits in the bag: "I bought it for your sister?"

Wen Zhizhen restarted the car and stared at the front with a gentle expression: "Well, the biscuits that Nannan likes, I came back in a hurry, so I haven't bought them for her yet."

Pei Songxi nodded and said nothing.

Folk songs were played in the carriage, and the singer's voice was hoarse and deep. They were silent all the way, but the atmosphere was not embarrassing, but peaceful and soothing.

Yu Mian originally only planned to spend half an hour reading, but unexpectedly, she couldn't hold back and went through all the books brought by Xu Xiaoyan. Then I read it all the way, and read half of the book.

She found some stories that she was interested in, one was about the master and apprentice of Xian Xia, one was about a girl who lived in her uncle's house as the main character, and another... She didn't care about the main character, and the supporting characters seemed to be two girls. There are too few words, she has flipped through the whole book, but only saw a few scenes.

She couldn't find a story she really wanted to read.

In fact, she had already guessed it...Xiaoyan likes to watch romantic idol dramas and tanmei comics, but she seems to be only interested in boys. This kind of...the story of two girls falling in love, Xiaoyan probably has never read it. It could have been an accident.

Yu Mian shook her head in disappointment, put away all the books, and still put them in the storage box under the bed, but the doubts and curiosity in her heart were like weeds, blown by the spring breeze, and a certain idea grew wildly.

She turned on the computer and wanted to search the Internet, but stopped again. The mouse stopped on the icon of the browser, but she didn't click it for a long time.

She thought that the real world and the online world should be different. Although the bills had been passed, she had never seen two girls fall in love in the real world.Like that class discussion, most people still objected to this matter, and even felt uncomfortable.

Aunt Pei will be talked about when she grows up. She can't... put more pressure on her.

Yu Mian looked out of the window in a daze, just when two beams of car lights pierced the darkness, and then there was the sound of tires rubbing against the ground when the car braked—it must be that Aunt Pei came back, right?

She went to the window to look, and there was a black car parked under the streetlight.But the one who got out of the car first was a slender man. That man got out of the car first, and then went around to the other side to open the door for the person sitting in the co-pilot.

A pair of feet stepped out of the car wearing very stiletto high heels, the uppers were inlaid with diamonds, shining brightly under the night light...it was Aunt Pei.

...she was talking to the man.

Probably saying goodbye.

Yu Mian unconsciously held her breath, and focused her eyes on the two people who were talking...the distance was too far, and the light from the street lamp was dim and blurry, she could only vaguely feel that the man was not old enough Too big, not too small, with good breeding and gentlemanly manners in between.

Looking at it from a distance, the man is gentle and gentle, and the woman is quiet and beautiful, like a poetic meticulous painting, which looks particularly suitable.

As soon as this thought came up, her heart was stabbed severely.

Yu Mian turned around, not daring to look any further.

She thought of the conversation she heard in the winery during the summer vacation when she graduated from elementary school, the night she rode a horse at the racecourse... Is this person Aunt Pei's fiancé?

She had been worried for a long time, but she hadn't heard any other news in the past three years, so she tried to deceive herself, but only now did she know...it's not over, maybe it's just the beginning.

She moved around, sat down by the bed, looked at the books in the storage box on the floor, and laughed at herself.

She clearly knows...some things cannot be started, and she told Zhiyi that it is impossible, but she still has some expectations in her heart, right?

Yu Mian let out a soft breath.

What she was expecting, only she knew.

"Tuk Tuk."

There was a knock on the door, followed by a clear and pleasant voice: "Mianmian, haven't you slept yet?"

Yu Mian jumped out of bed, went to open the door for her: "...Aunt Pei."

The girl was wearing a bean-green cotton home dress, her hair was draped over her shoulders, only half of her snow-white face was exposed, her chin was pointed, and she looked gloomy, as if she was not very happy.

Pei Songxi looked at her calmly for a while before asking, "Can I go in and have a meeting?"

Yu Mian nodded silently, took a few steps back, and let her in.

Pei Songxi hasn't been to her room for a while, and the girl's room always hides some little secrets that she wants to talk about. She doesn't want Mianmian to feel disrespected, so she tries to give her independent space as much as possible.

There is a sweet orange aromatherapy diffuser on the bedside table, and the warm and lively citrus fragrance floats in the air.It's just that the girl who is always lively and bright is a little quiet at the moment, wondering if she has encountered some troubles.

She found that they hadn't chatted for a long time.

Pei Songxi sat down in front of her desk and looked at the thick pile of review materials on the desk: "Are you going to finish all these?"

Yu Mian sat next to her, nodded, tried to suppress those negative emotions, and kept her tone as normal as possible: "Yes, didn't you guys use it before?"

"No need. I actually didn't work hard when I was studying. I have some homework, and most of the time I finish it at school. The time after returning home belongs to me, and I generally don't study."

It was the first time Yu Mian heard her talk about the past, subconsciously asked a little more: "Then what do you do after you go home?"

Pei Songxi stared at her, with a warm smile flowing quietly: "After returning home...it seems a little boring. Read books, arrange flowers, practice calligraphy, and make appointments with friends for horseback riding, polo, and golf."

She is not a lively person by nature, she was a loner when she was young, and her temperament became more cold as she got older, and sometimes she even felt a little out of touch with the world, except that Yu Mian was her only bondage, like a gift from the sky The kite is tied.

Yu Mian listened carefully, and couldn't help asking her: "Then...did there be many people who liked you before and confessed to you?"

Pei Songxi laughed when she asked: "A little bit, it's been too long, I can't remember clearly. What's the matter? Mianmian, you were confessed by many people in school, so you feel a little distressed?"

Yu Mian blushed, and immediately denied: "It's not... I like what I do, and I'm not good-looking."

When she was studying, she was very focused and didn't talk much to others. She only occasionally discussed math problems with Tao Rang. When she was not studying, she spent time with a few friends, and she didn't have much contact with her classmates.

Pei Songxi looked at her with a gentle look: "What's wrong with our Mianmian, we are obviously very cute. Are all your classmates so blind that they don't like you?"

Yu Mian was praised for being cute by her, and her ears felt a little hot: "No...and you, you never said I was cute before!"

Pei Songxi looked at her deeply, and then smiled: "It's very cute, believe in yourself, Mianmian."

This child Mianmian...does she want her approval and praise so much in her heart? She seems to have not noticed this problem before, and she was a little negligent.

Yu Mian couldn't help but raised her hand and touched her ears, as if she was a little embarrassed.

The action is childish, what a cute little girl.

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Pei Songxi asked her, "You seemed a little unhappy just now?"

Yu Mian froze for a moment, then lowered her head: "...No. I... I was a little sleepy just now."

It's obvious that he doesn't want to say anything.

Pei Songxi looked down at her... It's still the same, a girl who has entered puberty has her own little world, and the door seems... closed to her.

She didn't ask any more questions, and stood up: "I'm going back first, Mianmian, take a good rest."

Yu Mian lowered her head and nodded lightly: "Good night."

"Good night."

"Aunt Pei..." Yu Mian suddenly raised her head to stop her, there was a deer bumping in her heart, there was a secret light in her eyes, she looked at her expectantly, she was eager to hear an answer.

"I haven't finished asking the question just now, Aunt Pei, when you were confessed in school, did you...have you ever liked anyone?"
