gentle fairy tale

On the weekend, when Pei Songxi came back from the company, he was surprised when he found Yu Mian busy in the kitchen: "Mian Mian, are you...cooking in the kitchen?"

Yu Mian was wearing a small blue and white plaid apron, and smiled at her brightly: "I saw a tutorial on the Internet, and I wanted to make it myself."

Pei Songxi looked at her with some disapproval: "But didn't you say that there is a lot of homework, why do you still have time to learn to cook?"

Yu Mian raised a white and tender finger: "Just once, just once, okay?"

Xu Zhiluo often knows how to cook, she also wants to learn...

Pei Songxi still gave in: "Okay, just this time."

Yu Mian's eyes curved: "Then you go out and wait for me! It will be over soon!"

But in fact, she was in a hurry in the kitchen. Although she had cooked porridge before, she only put in the right proportion of rice and water, and then pressed the button.But this time, the tutorials she found online, pork ribs and lotus root soup, roasted chicken with mushrooms, boiled cabbage heart... all seem to be home-cooked dishes, but it is very difficult to make...

From time to time in the kitchen, there was a metallic sound of thumping and landing, accompanied by the squeaking sound when the oil just came out of the pan. Pei Songxi couldn't wait in the living room. When she went to see her, she found that white smoke was rising from the pot. burnt.

She laughed: "I used to burn the kitchen down, now it's your turn."

Yu Mian wrinkled her small face, her fair and clean face was stained with dust: "You laughed at me..."

Pei Songxi walked over, rubbing her fingertips on her face, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in her voice: "Okay, I didn't laugh at you. Let's see, what are we going to eat today."

The last dinner was two bowls of tomato and egg noodles. The clear soup was very bland, but it looked pretty good.

Yu Mian poked the noodles with her chopsticks: "You still laugh at me...your cooking skills haven't improved much."

Just as Pei Songxi was about to say something, her eyes fell on the back of her hand: "Mianmian? What's wrong with your hand?"

"what?"

Yu Mian lowered her head, only to find that the back of her hand was scalded with small red dots, which may have just been inadvertently scalded... She touched it and found it a little painful.

Pei Songxi has already walked over, sat down beside her, and took her palm: "Let me see."

"……okay."

The woman lowered her head, her temple hair was gently drooping down, and the end of her tail was gently curled. She held her palm, and her beautiful and slim distant eyebrows were gently raised. Her long eyelashes were black and dense. Stare seriously under the light: "Does it hurt?"

In fact, it didn't hurt that much at first, but when she asked, Yu Mian nodded subconsciously: "It hurts!"

... Aunt Pei's hands are really beautiful, white and delicate like... like jade, and the back of the hand seems to have been painted with a thin layer of glaze, which seems to be shining.

"Wait a little longer and see if it bubbles."

"...But my hands hurt so much now, if I don't eat the noodles, I'll get cold!"

"Ok?"

Yu Mian blinked: "Feed me, don't waste it."

"Mianmian..."

Now it's Pei Songxi's turn to be stunned: "Hello?"

In terms of eating, Yu Mian has been very obedient since she was a child.She is different from children of the same age, she never makes noise, eats whatever is given to her, and never asks adults to feed her.No matter what time you are holding a small bowl and chopsticks, when you encounter something you like to eat, your eyes light up; With cheeks, eat them all.

It's... it's like she's seeking food for the first time, like a soft little animal.

Yu Mian looked at her, with some kind of burning expectation in her pure and clear eyes, and urged her softly: "Just this time, okay?"

For a moment, Pei Songxi said with some embarrassment: "It's possible...it's just that I haven't done this kind of thing, and I don't know how to do it?"

Yu Mian smiled: "It's okay! Just look at me!"

Pei Songxi nodded slowly, picked up some noodles with chopsticks, and handed them to her lips, with some hesitation.

Yu Mian ate the noodles with a smile on her face, her eyes were bright and she was smiling.

After eating, Pei Songxi found that the scalded area on the back of Yu Mian's hand was really blistered... No wonder she said it hurt just now.

She became serious: "I shouldn't have listened to your interruption, just apply the ointment earlier."

Yu Mian sat upright obediently: "Oh, good."

But the corners of her lips were still slightly drawn.

From winter to summer, for half a year, the serialized comics are not over yet.

Every Friday is a happy time for Yu Mian.It wasn't until the week before the final exam that she tried to hold back.

The day before the summer vacation, Yu Mian and Xu Xiaoyan sat in a dessert shop for an hour and finished reading the latest episode together, feeling like their teeth were about to be sweetened.

Xu Xiaoyan drank strawberry cheese tea, and asked proudly: "How is it? Is there nothing wrong with eating my Amway?"

Yu Mian ordered a glass of orange juice, and smiled brightly: "Mmm, it's very pretty."

And there are many, many... What she didn't understand and was confused before, now she finally understands gradually, and there is a secret joy that cannot be described.

"But... After reading this, it seems that there is nothing else to see."

Xu Xiaoyan stretched out her hand and shook her finger: "No! I'm a treasure, there are only things you don't want to see, and nothing you can't find. Tell me, what do you want to see next?"

Yu Mian bit the straw, and said obediently: "I still want to watch this kind...with a big age gap, um...because..."

"I understand, I understand, I understand! Anyway, everyone is in love with a sister, so there is no need to explain hahahaha. Who doesn't love to grow up, and I like to watch it too. When I find a suitable manga, I will give it to you!"

"...everyone loves sister?"

"Yeah, you don't know?"

"Well... I don't know."

Xu Xiaoyan completely looked like an old driver: "Zai Zai, you are still too naive. Since I was in junior high school, I have been hanging out on various animation websites, post bar forums..."

She talked about her past experiences for a long time. Yu Mian was still listening carefully as usual, but her mood was a little wandering as she listened. She couldn't help thinking: "... No one with a closer relationship, a bigger age gap..."

After coming out of the dessert shop, Xu Xiaoyan started to go crazy about the otome manga that Amway was addicted to at the end. Yu Mian pulled her and stood on the side of the road watching the car before crossing the road.She asked the driver uncle to go back early today, and said that she would play with her classmates for a while before going home.

The bus stop was across the road, and the red light turned green. She pulled Xu Xiaoyan and walked over. Before she reached the platform, a black car stopped in front of her. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Pei Linmao's face: " Oh... Yu Mian, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

"...Uncle Pei."

"Well, get in the car and I'll take you home."

"Thank you...but my friend is here, no, you..."

Pei Linmao frowned impatiently: "I told you to get in the car."

Xu Xiaoyan was still looking around, but when she heard him being so fierce, she suddenly exploded: "Uncle, why are you so fierce?"

Pei Linmao gave her a cold look, and he didn't know where the wild girl came from: "She grew up with my family's money, what's wrong with me talking to her?"

Surrounded by people, he easily pierced the girl's self-esteem with a single word.

Yu Mian pursed her lips tightly, trying to refute him, but... But what he said seemed to be right. For so many years, Aunt Pei raised her, but she did nothing for Aunt Pei.

The two were at a stalemate in front of the car. Pei Linmao was impatient and was about to open the door to get out of the car, but at this moment a clear female voice came from behind: "Xiaoyan? Mianmian? So you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Xu Xiaoyan looked back and gained a little confidence: "Mom!"

Pei Linmao sneered, slowly rolled up the window, and let the driver drive away.

Zhao Ruo walked over: "Seeing that you haven't come home yet, I came to pick you up. Who was that just now?"

Yu Mian lowered her head: "It's... the uncle at home."

Zhao Ruo still felt a little strange, so he didn't ask her any more questions, and took her home along the way, put her down and walked home, and happened to meet Pei Songxi on the way.

Xu Xiaoyan has always been talkative, so she went to complain when she saw her: "Auntie Pei! There is an uncle who is very aggressive today. He wants to get Mianmian into the car, but he doesn't know where to take her!"

Pei Songxi looked a little cold: "Do you know Mianmian too?"

"That's right, Mianmian calls him Uncle Pei."

"I see...Thank you, Xiaoyan."

Her voice was calm and gentle, but her slender eyebrows were cold and indifferent. After saying goodbye to them, she walked home, walking quickly and hurriedly, as if she was faintly angry.

Before knocking on the door of Yu Mian's room, Pei Songxi walked back and forth in the corridor several times. She didn't know what Pei Linmao said to Mianmian today... The last time Pei Linmao made a small move, she found out, and followed the clues to find out who he was talking to Cooperation, but for more than a year, even if he took away his power, she still has room for it after all.

But now, is Pei Linmao testing her bottom line step by step?

She thought of Yu Mian's refraining from communicating last time, and she began to worry again... If Mian Mian didn't tell her, she would not know what Pei Linmao said, and what she wanted to do was a secondary issue. The most important thing was that she was worried that Yu Mian would think wildly , Will drill into a dead end.

She was pacing in the corridor when the door of the room opened suddenly: "Aunt Pei?"

Pei Songxi paused, adjusted his mood before turning around: "Mianmian, you are in the room."

"That's right, it's been a while since school, and I drank fruit juice with Xiaoyan, and I just came back not long ago."

"Well... I just met Xiaoyan and her mother."

Yu Mian blinked: "Huh?"

"Pei... did my elder brother tell you anything?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "I didn't say anything."

Pei Songxi stared at her seriously: "Really?"

Yu Mian smiled: "Really. He didn't say anything, and no matter what others say, I won't listen. I only listen to you."

Pei Songxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a while, "You don't have to listen to me. When you grow up, don't listen to anyone."

Yu Mian nodded: "I know! I have grown up, I am not a child, I will only trust people I trust!"

Now that she has grown up, she will not panic about something easily.Unlike that time, when Uncle Pei asked her if she wanted to go home, she worried for many days, thinking that Aunt Pei didn't want her anymore, but in fact, so much time passed, nothing happened.

This is her home, and she will not go anywhere unless Aunt Pei tells her to go.

Pei Songxi gradually calmed down, touched the top of her hair, and said in a gentle tone as always: "Well, I see. Have dinner first, and then study."

After dinner, Yu Mian went back to do her homework, but she thought about it for a long time at home, and finally went out with the keys and drove away.

Pei Linmao was reading the newspaper in the living room when he heard the sound of high-heeled shoes. He thought it was his wife who came back, but when he looked up, he saw Pei Songxi's extremely cold face and smiled lightly: "Songxi? Why are you back so late?"

Pei Songxi didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked him straight to the point: "What do you want to go to find Mianmian today?

Pei Linmao raised his eyebrows slightly: "I happened to pass by the attached middle school and saw her waiting for the bus, so I went over to ask her and wanted to give her a ride along the way. Why are you so nervous about such a trivial matter?"

Pei Songxi said lightly: "There's no need to pretend. Pei Linmao, I remember I warned you that I'm not interested in the money and power in your hands for the time being. You'd better not provoke me."

Pei Linmao didn't expect her to tear her face directly, and sneered: "Pei Songxi, is it useful for you to say such nonsense?"

Over the past year, Pei Songxi has become the substantial shareholder of many companies in the group. Pei Linmao was caught off guard, and even Pei Tiancheng couldn't do anything about her.He didn't say it on the surface, but in fact, everyone knew that Miss Pei had already seized the power of the crown prince of the Pei family by means of thunder.But after all, they are brothers and sisters, and there are family members to reconcile, so they barely maintain a little harmony of face.

But Pei Linmao longed to strangle this younger sister to death, but it was a pity that he never had the chance to do so.

Pei Songxi looked serious, endured and endured, still did not mention Yu's matter, just said lightly: "I think I have never exterminated anyone. There is only one thing, the matter between you and me has nothing to do with others, you remember Living."

Pei Linmao raised his chin, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Really?"

Of course he didn't intend to touch her Nilin, but that little girl of the Yu family has never been an outsider, she has been a pawn since the beginning of the game, and trying to pick her out now is simply a dream.

Pei Songxi pursed her lips tightly: "I advise you not to try."

The beams of two car headlights pierced the darkness, and the sound of the cars was particularly loud in the silent night.

Yu Mian was standing by the window drinking water, and looked out curiously, why is it Aunt Pei?

Isn't she at home, when did she go out, why did she come back so late?

She kicked off her slippers and went downstairs to the living room.Pei Songxi was changing shoes at the entrance, when she saw her, she was obviously taken aback: "Mianmian, haven't you slept yet?"

"Didn't sleep, why did you come back so late?"

"I have some work matters, so I went out temporarily."

"I'll get you a glass of water."

She ran into the kitchen, and Pei Songxi looked at her back in a daze: "Well, good."

When she returned to the room, she turned on a wall lamp, pushed open the balcony door, and walked out.

The halo of orange street lights in the distance is low-key and gentle, and unknown bugs are flying in mid-air, occasionally bumping into the lampshade, making a bang.The evening wind of the summer night was stained with water vapor, rustling the leaves of the trees, and messing up her hair at the temples.

Just like her ups and downs.

It's a sleepless night.

The next day.

Yu Mian went to the breakfast shop near the community to buy soy milk and steamed stuffed buns, and just as she sat down, she heard Pei Songxi's voice coming downstairs, and smiled at her: "Auntie Pei, good morning."

Pei Songxi also smiled: "Good morning. Woke up so early?"

"Get up earlier, the day can be longer, finish your homework earlier, and I can take a walk with you at night. This, this, this is your favorite mushroom bag!"

Pei Songxi lowered his head: "Thank you."

She even remembers exactly what flavor she likes.The bun in front of her was steaming hot, with thin skin and big stuffing. She lowered her eyes and did not move her chopsticks.

After a few seconds, she finally said, "Mianmian, there is something I want to tell you."

Yu Mian raised her head: "What's the matter?"

"I see that you are studying very hard. Do you want to think about going abroad to study?"

"...University, or...now?"

"Yes, the first year of high school has just ended, and now I will continue to study the second year of high school. The domestic competition pressure is too great. If you want to study abroad in the future, going abroad in high school is the most correct choice. You..."

Suddenly she was a little bit speechless, because...Yu Mian's expression forced her to stop, which seemed to be...a reaction she hadn't expected.

The corners of Yu Mian's lips curved slightly, as if she was smiling, but it looked like she was crying.

She was calmer than she'd imagined, but... also seemed sadder.

Pei Songxi called her name: "Mianmian?"

She pushed away the chair and stood up, and asked her softly, "Aunt Pei, do you really want me to go?"

——Yes... are you getting married?
