gentle fairy tale

Pei Songxi's hand holding the paper paused. She originally thought it was study materials such as test papers and scratch paper, but...the ones caught in the math book turned out to be comics, and it still looked like...the kind that wasn't quite right. The kind suitable for high school students.

So, I overslept this morning, could it be that I was watching these things last night?

She... She didn't know what to say or what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

It was Yu Mian who reacted first, snatched the paper from her hand, arranged it together with those on the table, and quickly put it in the drawer, looked at her nervously, guilty and shy, and didn't speak for a long time.

This situation was really unexpected, and Pei Songxi felt a headache.

This feeling... is more embarrassing than saying the wrong lines and calling someone by the wrong name at the company's large annual meeting.

Pei Songxi sighed softly in his heart.

In the past, she was also aware of this problem, and Mianmian gradually entered puberty, so she would leave her an independent space, respect her freedom, and buy her books that girls want to read, but now... reading these comics, or There are some problems with that.

Although Mian Mian is already a sophomore in high school and will be an adult soon, but that day is still to come... Now that she is under intense study pressure, she shouldn't have to stay up late because of this kind of thing.

She can't educate her, and she can't be too strict, but if there is a problem, she can't avoid it.

It's just...she thought with some worry, no wonder Mianmian asked her last time whether it's better to be older or younger...it turned out that it was because of reading these things.

Yu Mian also wished she could hide in place, or teleport to the outside of the room, or go back in time... Her face was burning hot, she really regretted it to death.

None of them spoke first, and there was silence for a while.

Yu Mian decided to break the silence. When she raised her head, she just met Pei Songxi's eyes. She felt flustered for no reason, and then lowered her head: "I..."

Sigh...what to say, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

Pei Songxi saw her flushed ears and evasive expression, and finally said, "Mianmian, there are a few things I want to tell you."

Yu Mian nodded obediently, and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen."

Pei Songxi considered the sentence: "First, girls should protect themselves and not try it easily... No matter if you are with a boy or a girl, you can't take risks just because of curiosity."

"……I know."

"Second," her voice paused, "You are still in high school, and you will not be an adult for a while. No matter how much you watched before, if you watch less in the future, it will affect your body and affect your studies."

"Well, I know."

"third……"

She paused for a long time this time, and Yu Mian couldn't help raising her head to look at her: "The third one?"

"never mind."

Pei Songxi stood up: "Go to bed early. Good night."

Yu Mian froze for a moment, then remembered that she hadn't had time to explain, this was the first time...it was the first time, she had never seen it before, before Aunt Pei found out, it was only last night... She saw It's just an electronic version.

But she couldn't explain it, and some things couldn't be explained at all...

It's over, in Aunt Pei's heart, she seems to have become such a person... She went to the bed in despair, buried her face in the pillow: "I really don't have one."

The next morning, while having breakfast, Yu Mian calmed down a bit after thinking about it all night, and was about to wash away the grievances on her inexplicable back.

She put down the chopsticks: "Aunt Pei... I have something to tell you."

Pei Songxi also stopped: "Say it."

"That incident last night..." She blushed as she spoke, "I rarely do this, just out of curiosity, I just tried... I will never..."

Pei Songxi nodded: "I didn't mean to interfere with you, you don't have to be nervous, Mianmian. I'm just... just afraid that you will be deceived and hurt by others."

"I……"

"It's all right, no need to explain. I understand."

Yu Mian: "..."

It's really not what you think, what do you understand!

Seeing her shy and annoyed look, Pei Songxi urged her to go out quickly: "Didn't you say that you have a watercolor class today, hurry up. The driver is waiting for you outside, don't let them wait too long."

Yu Mian: "...Oh."

She pouted, picked up her portfolio and bag and was about to go out, when Pei Songxi stopped her: "Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

"The collar is not turned properly."

"Oh."

Yu Mian subconsciously walked to her side, waiting for her to help her turn over.

"It's a little bit to the left, and you'll know it by touching it."

Yu Mian touched her shoulder: "I didn't find it, please help me."

Pei Songxi didn't move, but continued to say: "Put your hands back a little bit, just a little bit will be fine."

Yu Mian finally touched the folded place, almost approaching the back of her neck, stretching out her hand awkwardly: "Is it alright?"

It's really strange... Auntie Pei would always help her if her clothes were wrinkled or her hair was curled up.Why didn't he move this time, as if he didn't want to touch her.

"Well, all right."

"Then I'll go out first. Today the teacher said that class will start earlier, and there are a lot of things planned."

The girl was carrying a portfolio, walked a few steps forward, then turned around, waved to her with a bright smile: "See you tonight."

Pei Songxi nodded: "See you tonight."

She let out a soft sigh when the door clicked shut.

Back in the room last night, she thought about it for a long time, worried that there was something wrong with the way she handled it just now, after thinking about it for a long time, she confirmed that there was no big problem, and then she was a little relieved.

Pei Songxi recalled these years.

She has always respected Yu Mian more than she taught her, and cared more than she was close to her.Not only is this intentional, but also because of her nature, so she cares about her, respects her, guides her, and intentionally creates a simple and clear environment for her, allowing her to grow up freely without interfering with her choices.

Aside from the little accident not long ago, they are very honest with each other.

Sometimes like family, sometimes like friends.

So now... She thought and thought, and decided not to interfere too much.

It's just... It's just that she found that Yu Mian was far more curious about the same sex than the opposite sex, whether it was at the emotional level or at the physical level.

She remembered that Yu Mian said that she liked girls more.

The issue of gender... Pei Songxi has never considered it. To be precise, she has never considered the issue of relationship.

Love is not a necessity for her. When she watched idol dramas when she was young, she would feel very strange, why the protagonists like each other, and even fall in love at first sight; why one person can give up the future, future, values, and even life for another; The couple have been noisy for more than forty years and have not broken up - she just thinks it is too noisy.

Because of her inability to think and understand, Yu Mian's current state of mind is very strange to her, and she doesn't know what to say.

Pei Songxi smiled softly, shook his head, and said to himself: "Forget it."

It will be fine for her to pay more attention in the future, as long as Mianmian is not deceived or hurt by others, she will not interfere too much.

When Yu Mian's family could not be found earlier, Pei Songxi also thought that she would meet a suitable person in the future and form her own family... Now, the situation in her family seems to be gradually clearer, maybe After a while, you can send her back.

Obviously, she has been looking for it for so many years, but now that it is really time to come, the emotions in her heart... are somewhat complicated.

It seems that I hope she grows up a little bit, but I hope she doesn't grow up so fast.

However, Mianmian is going to leave anyway.Whether it is falling in love with others or returning to the original family, they will leave.

Thinking of this, Pei Songxi seriously thought about a question for the first time - what should Mianmian do when she grows up?

She is actually not interested in money, power, and status.

For so many years, except for work, her time seemed to be spent with her.

To develop a new interest for yourself.

Maybe it's time to prepare ahead of time.

On Monday, on the way to school.

When Xu Xiaoyan heard Yu Mian say that she was caught, she almost laughed until she burst into tears: "Hahahaha, you are too miserable, I'm sorry, I should comfort you, but I still want to laugh. Really? ? Are you really kidding me?"

Yu Mian was full of lovelessness: "Really. Who would make up such an embarrassing story to tease you."

"Ahem..." Xu Xiaoyan coughed hard twice before finally stopping laughing: "So, did Auntie Pei say anything about you?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "I didn't say anything, just told me not to... want to try it just because I read these contents. Also, don't watch too much, staying up late is not good for your health."

"Ah? That's it? It's gone? Did she kill you?"

"No."

Xu Xiaoyan frowned: "It's strange. If my family members know that I am like this, they will definitely scold me to death."

Yu Mian lowered her eyes: "Maybe it's because... we are different."

Xu Xiaoyan was also taken aback for a moment, belatedly realizing that she had said the wrong thing.She was ignorant and ignorant when she was a child, but after so many years, she knew that Yu Mian's parents died young and was brought back by Aunt Pei's father. In a sense, it was just a boarding relationship.

The scene when she saw Pei Songxi getting along with Yu Mian was gentle and timeless, but still lacked a bit of intimacy... Like a pair of friends with a big age gap, Pei Songxi respected Yu Mian's opinion and controlled the distance well.

"Hey... don't think so much! Class is about to start, let's go back... Oh yes, I found a new manga, do you want to read it?"

Yu Mian's attention was diverted: "Ah? What else..."

Xu Xiaoyan blinked: "Do you want to see it?"

"I... I won't read it!"

Yu Mian righteously refused: "Study is the first priority now, with so much homework, you have to stay up late to read comics, and you will be sleepy the next day if you stay up late, and your study efficiency will decrease when you are sleepy, and then..."

Xu Xiaoyan put her fingers against her palms: "Stop, stop, stop! You knock on how long the logic chain you said yourself, this is obviously a guilty conscience, cover it up!"

Yu Mian touched her red ears: "I don't watch it, I really don't watch it."

She repeated it several times, rather than rejecting Xu Xiaoyan, it would be better to say that she was trying to give herself some psychological hints—psychological hints to resist temptation.

Xu Xiaoyan sighed: "Okay, then you can read it after the college entrance examination. When we are all adults, we can knock CP at will, no one can control it."

Yu Mian nodded: "Okay, we're going home."

"Hey? Don't go, there is a new bookstore, let's go buy some books!"

Yu Mian just happened to miss a book of study materials: "Then go and have a look, I also have books to buy."

As soon as she entered the bookstore, Xu Xiaoyan plunged into the pile of romance magazines and comics; Yu Mian was reading study materials. She didn't quite understand the magnetic and electric fields mentioned in physics class, so she wanted to find some suitable materials to read.

When Xu Xiaoyan found a magazine she liked, she ran over to show it to her: "Look, look, look! This protagonist is so lustful! I'm dead!"

Yu Mian took the magazine smoothly, and just lowered her head, she heard someone call her: "Mianmian?"

She was startled, and looked up to see that Pei Songxi was standing outside the bookstore, wearing a black sweater, a navy blue skirt, and a long beige trench coat on her hands.She walked towards her: "I just came to pick you up after get off work. I came a little late. I didn't stop you when I parked next to me. I see you walking this way..."

As she got closer and closer, Yu Mian subconsciously buckled the magazine in her hand: "Oh... oh, I'll go back after buying this document, and I'm ready to go!"

However, Pei Songxi saw some fancy pictures on the back of the magazine, and his expression was a little complicated for a while, and his eyes were a little strange: "...OK, then I'll wait for you in the car first."

Yu Mian saw her expression clearly, knew that she had misunderstood again, and wanted to die in embarrassment: "...I really didn't want to watch it. It's not that."
