Warm Water Spirits

Under the hands-on training of Jiang Yunqi, the tugging Ah Pei quickly learned to press the gun. Except for the silly smile that is standard in the system every time he successfully sniped the scarecrow, Ah Pei is very cool the rest of the time.Is a cold killer.

Boyu later changed the name of his "bloodthirsty killer" to "Passerby Xiaojia".

Perhaps because of Jiang Yunqi's "Apei", Boyu got a little hidden meaning from the city. Bo Yu felt that the more powerful the player, the more low-key he should be.

On Jiang Yunqi's birthday, the system sent a gift to Jiang Yunqi through Ah Pei.Brand new snow suit.It almost blends with the snow instantly when put on, especially suitable for ambush and sniping.

Ah Pei who gave the gift is very cute.Later, under the mandatory setting of the system, he sang a complete birthday song to Jiang Yunqi. The next second after singing, Ah Pei fell to the ground to rest, and Jiang Yunqi couldn't help laughing.

Boyu asked his Xiaojia courier to send a system red envelope, worth 1000 yuan system gold coins, which can be used to buy most of the most sought-after Jedi sniper equipment on the market.

I don't know if it was a good agreement, Li Kun and Eric both gave red envelopes. Pxue also gave him a red envelope later.

Jiang Yunqi's wealth increased exponentially, and the system did not let this rich man go.When he received the last red envelope, the system launched a thoughtful equipment package to him in due course, and the difference between the total value and the total number of red envelopes was only one gold coin.

Jiang Yunqi was not fooled.Jiang Xiaonong deposited the money in the system bank.

The day of his birthday happened to be Friday, Lin Xiyao caught Jiang Yunqi after school and gave him a USB flash drive, which contained clips of the highlight moments of Jiang Yunqi's previous games since he joined Jedi Sniper as Yunqi.

"Is it the latest? But I think I must be the best of them all!"

Lin Xiyao looked happier than Jiang Yunqi, as if it was her birthday party.

"I saw your birthday when I added you as a friend. I want to do this after that. You will definitely be touched when you go back and watch it! Don't thank you!"

For a long time, Jiang Yunqi held the flash drive and didn't know what to say.

This is the first time he has received gifts from friends and classmates.

Before Pei Zhe encouraged him to make friends and get along with his classmates as much as possible, Jiang Yunqi seemed to understand a little bit now.

After a while, Jiang Yunqi nodded and thanked in a low voice.

Sometimes, the development of feelings between people needs a little opportunity.

When I first joined the third class, my classmates' curiosity and observation of Jiang Yunqi began with his different eyes and outstanding appearance, and then gradually turned into doubts and explorations about his personality and way of doing things.

After that it doesn't matter anymore.Jiang Yunqi is a classmate who cannot be approached. He is withdrawn and indifferent, and he is on guard against stabbing others.

And Jiang Yunqi himself doesn't care much about other people's opinions and evaluations.

From another perspective, this is not so much a character defect as it is a kind of self-protection.

Subconsciously, Jiang Yunqi seems to be very good at this kind of self-protection, he doesn't care, keeps silent and concentrates.

But holding the gift that Lin Xiyao carefully prepared for him, Jiang Yunqi really wanted to say a few more words.

For example, he is really happy, and he is especially grateful to Lin Xiyao.And in the last match, he didn't really want to treat her as a "field nurse", he just wanted to protect her and every teammate in the team who fought side by side with him.

But long-term habits and some kind of psychological interference made him unable to find suitable words.

Jiang Yunqi looked at Lin Xiyao who was smiling brightly at him, and also laughed.

When she got home, Pei Yuewencuo had arrived with Wenwen.

There were two layers of cakes in the middle of the dining table, and three bottles of high-end wine that Wencuo had brought.A large handmade flower basket with champagne roses and lisianthus surrounded by a cluster of white carnations.

Aunt Song stood at the table and picked out the gardenia leaves in the flower basket, trimmed the rhizomes of the bouquet and prepared to put it in the vase. Seeing Jiang Yunqi open the door and come in, she said with a smile: "Little birthday boy is back."

As soon as he changed his shoes, Jiang Yunqi looked into the living room with his schoolbag on his back.

Aunt Song knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "I'm back. Auntie reminded you, there's no cake to eat when it's late!"

But Jiang Yunqi was still a little unhappy for some reason, nodded, called Aunt Song, greeted Pei Yuewencuo in the kitchen, turned around and was about to enter the study.

"Uncle!"

Pei Yue was helping Aunt Song prepare dinner in the kitchen, when she heard her daughter's unreserved loud voice, warning: "Wen Wen, can you lower your voice? The whole building heard it."

Wen Cuo stood aside and frowned, persuading him, "It's okay..."

Wenwen rolled her eyes when she heard the words, bared her teeth and stuck out her tongue, and handed the two strawberries just out of the water to Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi still doesn't know what it means to be courteous for nothing. After he finished eating, Wenwen approached gossipingly and said, "Little uncle, are you in a relationship?"

Wenwen is as active in caring about Jiang Yunqi's emotional status as die-hard fans are in caring about idol romances.

Jiang Yunqi almost choked, and immediately understood that the two strawberries were for this purpose.

Seeing this, Wenwen seemed to have found some "clue" similar to a guilty conscience, squinted her eyes and said mysteriously: "I saw you talking to a girl at the entrance of the attached middle school several times!"

"Will she be my little aunt in the future?"

Wenwen opened her eyes that seemed to understand, but she was extremely excited, and the question she asked made Jiang Yunqi dumb for a while.

For a moment, Jiang Yunqi sighed and said silently: Your future little aunt hasn't come back yet.

Thinking about it like this, the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it gets.Jiang Yunqi sneaked into the study and laughed secretly for a while.

Half an hour later, Pei Zhe came back and seemed to have brought a cake.

Jiang Yunqi didn't rush out to watch as usual, his ears were pricked up.

He heard Aunt Song's voice: "Didn't the phone say that there are cakes... two cakes are gone? Today Pei Yue is cooking..."

Pei Zhe didn't speak, and asked about Jiang Yunqi later.

Aunt Song said with a smile: "I'm in a bad mood. It's all because of your brother."

Jiang Yunqi squeezed the rubber and curled his lips, venting his anger a little.

I don't know what Pei Zhe continued to say.Wenwen's voice covered most of the voices.

"...The little uncle is about to have a little aunt, when will the big uncle have a big aunt?"

"—Wen Wen!"

"Hey, it's a child's word, Wenwen is just curious..." Wen Cuo rushed to the rescue: "Wenwen is not afraid of uncle?"

Wenwen fell silent.

The study door was knocked twice.

Jiang Yunqi immediately sat up straight, drew a math paper on piecewise functions, rested his forehead with his left hand to review the questions, and turned the pen with the palm of his right hand upwards.

Dual-purpose, a few seconds later, when he was inattentive, his hand was too fast, and the pen flew out.

Jiang Yunqi heard Pei Zhe's obvious laughter.

Pei Zhe helped him pick up the pen, put it on the corner of the table, and then leaned sideways on the desk, put the hand wearing the watch in his trouser pocket, and folded the cuff twice. His casual movements naturally showed a bit of courage. .

Looking a few degrees away, from the corner of the eye, you can see the high-quality white shirt tightly tied into the black belt. The waistline is straight, and the black and white are distinct. .

Jiang Yunqi withdrew his gaze, took a pen and wrote "Xie" on the paper without saying a word or calling for anyone.

Pei Zhe felt that the villains in the family were getting more tempered than each other.

Wenwen dared to confront his sister, rolling her eyes and shouting in front of her.

The one in front of me, how many times have I said it to call people, but after a while, it will return to its original shape, just like Monkey King, who has to recite the scriptures a hundred times.

"Are you dumb?" Pei Zhe's tone was slightly lower.

"Brother Pei." Jiang Yunqi spoke extremely fast, with a straight tone and a cold tone.

Pei Zhe: "..."

For a while, except for the voices and laughter from the living room, the study was so quiet that only the slight scraping of the pen tip on the paper was left.

Pei Zhe remembered what Aunt Song said when she opened the door, and paused, "Are you angry?"

This time, he ignored him, and there was no sound at all.

Pei Zhe, who has been dealing with people as "Pei Si" all this time, is a bit behind in his emotional intelligence.

He doesn't ask his subordinates if they are angry.

Fortunately, Pei Zhe's ability to learn and draw inferences from one instance is much higher than that of Jiang's classmate, and his EQ is not enough, and his IQ is above the line.

Pei Zhe pondered for a while, then asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yunqi raised his eyelids to look at him, then lowered his eyes and continued to read the question, "I have to do my homework."

Pei Zhe: "..."

Jiang Yunqi looked at him as if he lacked IQ.

The homework sentence obviously meant to drive away customers, but Pei Che reluctantly left, with a calm expression on his face.

Jiang Yunqi was thinking wildly while drawing out the main information of the question stem.

Not really angry, but still a little awkward.

It seems that he has never seen the complete Pei Zhe these days.

complete.From head to toe, Pei Zhe has warmth.For a while, it was the back figure buried in the night and morning light, and for a while it was the voice through the telephone line. Jiang Yunqi once suspected that the relationship between them seemed to be back to the night when Pei Zhe went to pick him up from school.

It's been a long time since we saw each other, and when we get along, even the temperature has to be tested in advance.

I am afraid that I will be too enthusiastic and expose too much, and I am also worried that my indifference will make the other party unable to speak.

I read the question several times, but I still don't know how to solve it.

Jiang Yunqi was upset and didn't know what Pei Che was doing standing still.

"If you can't do it, don't do it. Today is your birthday, let's do it tomorrow."

Pei Zhe spoke again, with a tentative tone.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't help it: "If you can't do it, you will do it tomorrow?"

Pei Zhe smiled, which was obviously tempered.

"What if I figured it out tomorrow?"

Pei Zhe persuaded himself.

"I can't figure it out."

Pei Zhe: "..."

Wenwen's voice came from the living room again.

Pei Zhe found an excuse to tease Jiang Yunqi: "Who is little aunt?"

Jiang Yunqi looked up expressionlessly.

Pei Zhe was a little hairy.

"Wenwen said it." Pei Zhe didn't even think about it.

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

The appearance of Aunt Song temporarily put aside the plight of the brothers.

"What are you whispering? The birthday boy will do his homework tomorrow! Hurry up and light candles and blow the cake."

Pei Zhe agreed, "Go eat cake. Brother Pei also bought cake." The second sentence is a bit weird.

Jiang Yunqi got up obediently.

Pei Zhe followed behind.

The birthday atmosphere is strong in the living room.

The sweet scent of the cake is lingering, and the roses and lisianthus in the flower basket are scattered in the vase, and they are particularly eye-catching at the corner of the dining table at this moment, delicate and fragrant.

Wenwen knelt on a chair and leaned on the edge of the table to put candles in two cakes, one by one, neatly arranged.Wen Cuo lit the candles one by one. Seeing the two brothers coming out one after the other, he said amusedly, "Pei Che, are you so strict? Do you have to do your homework on your birthday? I think Yun Qi will go into the study to do his homework as soon as he comes back."

Pei Yue and Aunt Song brought the dishes to the table.They are all home-cooked dishes, full of color, fragrance, and Pei Yue's craftsmanship.

"As long as you manage loosely, you don't have to go to school if you act coquettishly." Pei Yue glanced at Wencuo's movements and reminded: "Be careful, Wenwen is still interfering."

Pei Zhe felt the need to explain, but he didn't know what to say.From the moment he entered the house, Shou Xing had a big opinion on himself.Before knowing the reason, Pei Zhe decided to stand still.

Pei Zhe's face was as usual, without showing any traces: "It's Yun Qi who is serious."

Wen Cuo gave him a strange look, handed the lighter to Jiang Yunqi, and then went to a wine cabinet to find a wine opener.

Jiang Yunqi didn't lift his head when he heard the words, took the lighter and knelt on the chair, protecting Wenwen in front of him, blocking her hand and continuing to light each candle, his eyes focused.

Small clusters of shining firelight reflected on the snow-white side face, black and slender eyelashes, drooping low, calm eyes, still bloodless lips, the curvature of the chin showed a bit of softness in the trembling candlelight.Maybe it was the smell of the food that made Jiang Yunqi a little hungry, and the tip of his tongue quickly licked his upper lip, leaving a touch of moisture.

Pei Zhe stood aside and watched without saying anything.

Suddenly, "Little uncle!" Wenwen gasped.

The flame flickered and brushed against the back of Jiang Yunqi's hand.

Jiang Yunqi withdrew his hand and looked down. It wasn't serious, leaving only a light red mark.

"fine--"

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Zhe grabbed his wrist, and in the next second, Pei Zhe blew out all the candles that had just been lit, "Come down".

Wenwen turned her head and saw Pei Zhe's face, she was so frightened that she ran off the table like a little mouse, and ran to the kitchen to find her mother.

Jiang Yunqi was stunned, thinking that Pei Zhe was telling Wenwen to come down, and what was going on with Wenwen... Before he could figure it out, Pei Zhe took Jiang Yunqi by the waist and carried him off the chair.One hand was still holding his wrist.

There was not much movement at the dining table.The "down" sound was low and deep.

Wen Cuo opened the wine and turned around, only to find that no one was there, and the candles were all extinguished pitifully, "What's going on..."

With a "snap", the bathroom was as bright as day.

Pei Zhe was tall and tall, with his back to the ceiling lamp, his shadow fell on Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi looked up at Pei Zhe, then lowered his head and whispered, "It's okay..."

Pei Zhe frowned and looked carefully at the back of Jiang Yunqi's hand. It was indeed only a little red, so he turned on the faucet and gave him cold water to wash him. The whole action was unquestionable. Jiang Yunqi had no room to move, and he was just imprisoned by Pei Zhe. arms.

The brain can still move.

Jiang Yunqi looked around, and Wenwen's voice came from outside, "The little uncle was burned by a candle... The big uncle took him away..."

Jiang Yunqi listened carefully and burst out laughing.

"Taken away" sounds fun, and those who didn't know thought it was taken away by the police.

"Is it funny?" A very serious voice came from above his head.

Jiang Yunqi stopped smiling immediately, and pouted quietly after a while.

When Pei Zhe saw it, he didn't say anything, and gently wiped the red mark with his fingertips.

Jiang Yunqi fell silent, and suddenly thought of something, coupled with the previous unhappiness, this will magnify his emotions under the bright and invisible white light, and the whole person becomes more and more depressed.

After washing, Pei Zhe wiped Jiang Yunqi's hands with a towel.Jiang Yunqi was about to leave Pei Zhe, but Pei Zhe didn't let him go, he just hugged him onto the pool platform, let Jiang Yunqi sit down, put his arms on Jiang Yunqi's left and right sides, stood still, and then lowered his eyes Looking into Jiang Yunqi's slightly panicked eyes.

"why you are not feeling happy?"

Pei Zhe has never been good at beating around the bush, and it is his consistent style to be tough and upright.

Jiang Yunqi stared at Pei Zhe, feeling inexplicably that he was really taken away by the "police".This is forced confession.

Although in the game, Jiang Yunqi is strong when he is strong.But in Pei Zhe's case, Jiang Yunqi belongs to the category of milk when you are strong.

"You didn't even ask me if it hurts."

After Jiang Yunqi groaned, he immediately lowered his head and stared at the back of Pei Zhe's hand holding the edge of the stage. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Pei Zhe was a little nervous.

A smile slowly appeared in Pei Zhe's eyes, and his slightly tense body relaxed. Pei Zhe cleared his throat, "What else? Before. In the study."

"Why ignore Brother Pei?"

"I don't care."

"Yun Qi." Pei Zhe smiled, with a helpless tone: "Speak well."

Jiang Yunqi looked up at him, and answered the wrong question: "You are too busy."

"so?"

Pei Zhe rarely raised his eyebrows, but this time his face was not as gloomy as before, with a smile on his lips, like a big boy, although his manner and tone remained the same as before.

"—Do you want to eat?"

Aunt Song knocked on the door, and asked with concern: "Is Yun Qi's hand okay? Is it seriously burned?"

If granted amnesty.Jiang Yunqi jumped off the pool platform, bent over and quickly escaped from under Pei Zhe's arms, as if covering something, and said a little loudly: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Run faster than anything else.

Pei Zhe smiled, stood there for a while before turning off the light and going out.

Then it was Pei Zhe who lit the candles.

When turning off the lights and singing the birthday song, Jiang Yunqi was a little embarrassed.Fortunately, the light was dim, and no one saw that his ears were already red to the roots.

Wenwen sang the loudest, and she was completely out of tune, making her voice so loud.Wen Cuo sighed several times.Pei Yue couldn't help but laugh.

After the Chinese version was over, the English version came again. Jiang Yunqi couldn't help it, and laughed so hard that he fell on the table, and then everyone laughed together.

Wenwen thought it was due to the natural atmosphere and expressed her understanding.One person dutifully sang the entire Chinese and English versions of Happy Birthday.

It took three candles to blow out before they were all blown out. Jiang Yunqi thought it was a physical effort.

Aunt Song seemed to be the most emotional of all. When the light was turned on, Jiang Yunqi saw that Aunt Song's eyes were red.

The others should have noticed too, but then they all tacitly took out the gift and asked Jiang Yunqi to eat the cake before unwrapping it.

Pei Yue hugged Aunt Song's shoulders, her expression gradually depressed, her eyes fixed on the extinguished candle, and when she moved away, she met Jiang Yunqi's eyes.

Pei Yue watched him for a long time.

Aunt Song, accompanied by Pei Yue, entered the kitchen while Wen Cuo Wenwen was handing over the gift.

Pei Zhe followed and, as the head of the family, patted Aunt Song on the shoulder.

Pei Yue looked up at Pei Zhe with a worried expression, as if she wanted to say something, but she turned her head and saw Jiang Yunqi looking towards them, but she still didn't speak in the end.

Jiang Yunqi looked away, took the knife from Wencuo, and cut the cake under Wenwen's command.

The cake was divided into several points, Wenwen counted and called Aunt Pei Yuesong to come out and eat the cake.

Wen Cuo teased him, "Aren't you called uncle?"

Wenwen is also fine, without blinking her eyes, she said: "The big uncle has the name of the little uncle."

Jiang Yunqi smiled and turned to look at Pei Zhe.

Pei Yue accompanied Aunt Song out of the kitchen, and Pei Zhe stood alone in the kitchen with his back to the living room, not knowing what to think.

The first thing Aunt Song did when she came out was to hug Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi didn't speak, and felt sore in his heart.

He understands Aunt Song.When Aunt Song was preparing the menu yesterday, she also said that we, Yun Qi, have worked hard and passed another year safely.

Everyone in the family wishes him well.In the past days when he was sick and suffering, everyone here couldn't sleep because of him.

Realizing this, Jiang Yunqi bowed his head with deep guilt and did not look after Pei Zhe as usual.

Pei Yue's cooking skills were developed little by little when he and Pei Zhe were dependent on each other when they were young, and they would have perfected it long ago, and they can taste any taste.Aunt Song praised while eating, Wenwen has long been used to eating, after hearing Aunt Song's professional comments, she turned to ask his father, "Dad, what do you think?"

Wen Cuo stuffed rice into his mouth, while serving food for his daughter, he said casually, "What do you think?"

"Do you think mom's cooking is delicious?"

Wen Cuo almost choked to death, put a chicken leg into Wenwen's bowl, and threatened: "Speak again and I will give you to uncle to raise you!"

Wenwen glanced at Pei Zhe, who was eating quietly two seats away, and clenched her chopsticks tightly, showing a lot of manners.

Jiang Yunqi endured for a long time without holding back his laughter.

After a while, Pei Zhe, who was sitting next to him, put down his chopsticks to serve soup, and then a bowl of soup was placed in front of Jiang Yunqi, Pei Zhe said helplessly, "Laugh if you want to."

Pei Zhe rarely drank unless there was a good reason.

Taking advantage of Jiang Yunqi's birthday, Wencuo poured several glasses of red wine for Pei Zhe.

Instead of stopping, Pei Yue helped Wen Cuo pour his brother's wine.

From Pei Yue's cheerful laughter, Jiang Yunqi realized that this might be the only way for her sister to tease her brother.

After all, no one would want to play tricks on Pei Zhe who doesn't drink.

Jiang Yunqi lay down on the table to eat cake, Wenwen was already a little sleepy, Aunt Song took her to sleep in the room, and later came to tell Jiang Yunqi to eat less, brush his teeth early and go to bed, it was a bit late.

"Do you want some fruit?"

Aunt Song pointed to the kitchen, "There are strawberries soaked in the pool, go eat some. Don't eat too much, it's cold. Just a few strawberries to moisten your throat."

Jiang Yunqi nodded with a smile, obediently put down his fork and went into the kitchen to fish for strawberries.

After eating two strawberries, Pei Zhe also came in, opened the refrigerator to find a bottle of ice water, and poured the whole bottle with his head raised.

Jiang Yunqi glanced sideways at him.

After drinking, Pei Zhe was a little different, his demeanor was slightly open, and his emotions were a little more straightforward.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the sound of swallowing was very clear in the momentarily quiet kitchen.Even if Pei Zhe does nothing, it will bring invisible pressure to people, and this moment is no exception.

Jiang Yunqi slowly finished the third strawberry while Pei Zhe was drinking water.

After a while, noticing that there was no movement behind him, Jiang Yunqi turned his head to look, and found that Pei Zhe was leaning on the refrigerator and staring at him for a moment.The black pupils were deeper than usual, as if there was a ray of light condensed in them, grasping him firmly at a glance.

Jiang Yunqi's heart trembled, he hurriedly turned back, picked up the fourth strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth——

"Don't eat this one after eating it. Otherwise it will be uncomfortable."

Pei Zhe drank and drank water for a long time, and his voice also sank a bit.

Jiang Yunqi was a little nervous and nodded several times.

Another meeting.

The sight behind him never disappeared.

Jiang Yunqi quietly poked his head to look at the dining table, Wen Cuo was talking to Pei Yue, Pei Yue laughed so hard that she had forgotten her brother a long time ago.

There was never a moment when Jiang Yunqi hoped that Pei Yue could take care of Pei Zhe.

"Does it hurt?"

Suddenly there was a sound from behind.

Jiang Yunqi was stunned, not understanding what this sentence meant.But he didn't dare to turn his head.Pei Zhe's eyes made him overwhelmed.

"The back of the hand. Does it hurt?"

Pei Zhe said with a smile.

Jiang Yunqi remembered.

In the next second, her ears were red and her face was hot.

A low laugh came from behind, and Jiang Yunqi was absolutely sure that Pei Zhe had seen his ears clearly.
