Warm Water Spirits

Pei Zhe took Jiang Yunqi out, pressed it on the chair, then went to the bathroom and quickly twisted a hot towel, and rubbed it on Jiang Yunqi's face when Jiang Yunqi opened his red eyes and winked at Aunt Song.

"Wipe yourself."

Jiang Yunqi pulled down the steaming towel, looked at Pei Zhe, did not speak, then turned to Aunt Song who didn't know why, and said in detail: "I don't want to do my homework, Brother Pei is going to send me away, to his sister's— —”

"Yun Qi."

Pei Zhe turned around and went back to his room to change his clothes. He unbuttoned his cuff with one hand, tilted his head and said indifferently.

"—Go to elder sister Pei Yue."

Jiang Yunqi changed his words in a low voice, covered the towel and buried it in, took a deep breath, it smelled like Pei Zhe.

Aunt Song smiled and shook her head while arranging the bowls and chopsticks. Then she looked up and saw that Jiang Yunqi couldn't sit still, so she ran to the bathroom and called, "Yunqi is back for dinner."

"I'm going to wash the towels. Two seconds."

In the bathroom, Pei Zhe just took off his shirt.

Without squinting, Jiang Yunqi walked over and put the towel under the faucet to rinse it. If he couldn't hold it with one hand, he wrung it out in sections.

Pei Zhe's back was facing him, his shoulder blades were sharp and sharp, and his complexion was darker. His years in the army made him keep his back straight and calm at all times.Several years of gunshot wounds on his back that had healed into scars were exposed, adding a bit of tough and decisive temperament.

Jiang Yunqi hung up the towel and called out "Brother Pei".

"Ah."

Pei Zhe turned around and walked to Jiang Yunqi's side, buried his head and quickly flushed his face, took off the freshly wrung towel, and wiped off the water droplets on his face.Pei Zhe opened his eyes, his eyebrows were clear, and he was extremely handsome. His eyes fell on Jiang Yunqi's face, and he took a closer look at Jiang Yunqi's eyes that were not so red.

Putting on a home T-shirt on the side of his head, seeing Jiang Yunqi standing there conscientiously like a doorman, Pei Zhe pinched the tip of Jiang Yunqi's nose with his index finger and middle finger, and a flash of smile flashed in his dark eyes, "Little thing, go out to eat."

It only took a second, but Jiang Yunqi still saw several scars on Pei Zhe's chest that went deep into the skin. The ferocious determination of the mortal situation.

Jiang Yunqi stared at the T-shirt.

At this moment, a frame of the confused scene that popped into my mind at the mall in the afternoon suddenly flashed.He seemed to be able to smell an overly strong smell of blood—as if splashing on his face.

After closing his eyes, the picture disappeared again, Jiang Yunqi frowned, unable to understand, raised his head after a while and asked, "Is it very painful?"

Pei Zhe looked down at him, his eyes changed slightly, and his pupils were deep.

Jiang Yunqi didn't look at Pei Zhe, and reached out to touch the wound in his heart through the material of the clothes, but someone grabbed his wrist halfway, and then Pei Zhe's voice came, with an unquestionable tone: "Go eat."

Jiang Yunqi looked up.

Pei Zhe rubbed his hair, distracting Jiang Yunqi's eyes, and his tone was a rare joke, "What are you touching, it's not good."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

After eating and doing homework, Jiang Yunqi was like going to the execution ground.

It's past nine o'clock after the math is stuttered.Jiang Yunqi directly gave up English, copied the chapters that must be memorized in Chinese, and explained the last few pages of reference answers to the exercises, and was about to continue reading comprehension of the reference answers when Pei Zhe took away his cheating tool.

Jiang Yunqi looked up and said honestly, "I really don't know how to do it."

"That can't be copied either." Pei Zhe sighed.

"I handed in a blank paper and the teacher wants to call you again."

Pei Zhe laughed, "You can't write at all?"

Jiang Yunqi shook his head, "It's not like you don't know that my grades are very poor. Chinese is the worst, English is very poor, and mathematics...is not bad."

Pei Zhe did know that Jiang Yunqi's grades were not good.

At the parent-teacher meeting in the third year of junior high school, the parents of 47 students in the class talked with the head teacher, Mr. Liu, one by one, and all of them made a quick decision.When it was Pei Zhe's turn, Teacher Liu didn't know which one to start with.

"Mr. Pei, Jiang Yunqi's grades, to be honest, three books are enough."

Pei Zhe humbly asked for advice, and said carefully, "Yun Qi's attitude is still serious."

"If you want to say that, I don't know what to say."

Teacher Liu frowned, and spread out the test papers one by one to Pei Zhe.Jiang Yunqi's score is really not ideal.But Mr. Liu felt that apart from his grades, Jiang Yunqi was not very satisfactory in other aspects.

"This kid is a bit withdrawn, and he doesn't usually talk to his classmates. The classmates get along well, and they can help each other in their studies. But I haven't seen Jiang Yunqi ask other classmates for advice."

Pei Zhe took the paper and read it carefully.

Teacher Liu saw Pei Zhe's dusty appearance, and also knew about Jiang Yunqi's family background, so he took it for granted: "I know parents are busy with work, but this kind of joint eyes should have some time when they are busy, right? Usually more It will be good to see for a while."

"...If you don't know how to do it, you have to hand in a blank paper. As his English teacher, I have said it countless times, you can also get a point, and you can get one point—" In the end, the more he thought about it, the more angry Teacher Liu said: "Pei Sir, I know you, people with your background, if you want to do 'charity', do it well, the college entrance examination is not a trivial matter, don't just pretend to be superficial—"

At that time, before Teacher Liu finished speaking, Jiang Yunqi appeared out of nowhere, angrily, pulled Pei Zhe to leave, and glared at Teacher Liu who was talking nonsense.

Seeing Jiang Yunqi defending Pei Zhe, Teacher Liu knew that he had guessed wrong, so he was embarrassed to apologize.

Jiang Yunqi didn't even look at it, like a school bully, he pretended to cough while he couldn't pull Pei Zhe, and was so anxious that he couldn't leave.

Pei Zhe was stunned for a moment, but suddenly he was angry and funny.

It's okay to tell Teacher Liu, but seeing Jiang Yunqi still coughing and urging him to leave, Pei Zhe couldn't talk anymore, so he had to be dragged away.

Before leaving, Pei Zhe saw another more appropriate interpretation in Teacher Liu's eyes: the family has no rules and is too spoiled.

Pei Zhe went out and covered Jiang Yunqi's mouth pretending to be coughing, and said in a very serious tone, "What should I do if the cough hurts my lungs? Do you have any brains?"

"The teacher is for your own good, and he speaks unintentionally."

"It was so rude just now. Did I teach you that? Go and apologize tomorrow."

Jiang Yunqi was held for breath, and slowly calmed down, with a little pain in his chest.

Pei Zhe was quite intimidating when he spoke nonchalantly, but Jiang Yunqi was also a little stubborn, but he didn't speak, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

Pei Zhe also knew that Jiang Yunqi was defending himself, but the basic principles still had to be made clear.

"Did you hear me?"

Pei Zhe's speech now was exactly the same as in the Armaments Division.There was no joy or anger on the whole face, but the invisible pressure didn't decrease at all, but became colder as time went on.

After a while, Jiang Yunqi's eyes were red with grievance, "I heard it".

Only then did Pei Zhe take him away, but he didn't say a word to Jiang Yunqi.

When they got home, Jiang Yunqi was so angry that he couldn't get out of the car. Pei Zhe opened the car door and stood waiting for him.

Jiang Yunqi was really about to cry, so he had to obediently get out of the car in the end.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I shed tears.

Aunt Song's heart ached so badly that her sweetheart screamed, and her grandson didn't even care so much.In addition, Jiang Yunqi was in poor health, and coughed after crying for a long time, which made Aunt Song's eyes turn red. She didn't understand what the two brothers were arguing about, so she could only persuade the older one to coax the younger one.

Pei Zhe couldn't come out of the study room. Aunt Song knocked on the door and didn't go in. She stood at the door and said softly, "Mr. Pei, let Yunqi go. This kid likes you, and you don't talk to him because it hurts him." ?"

"How old is Yun Qi, 19 years old. When you were 19 years old——"

When she came back to her senses, Aunt Song patted her mouth, looked back at Jiang Yunqi who was sitting at the table pitifully flipping through her schoolbag to do her homework, and sighed, she really didn't know which one to feel sorry for.

When Pei Zhe was 19 years old, there was no one around except Pei Yue.

The siblings depended on each other for life, and Pei Zhe was much more sensible than Jiang Yunqi. He had excellent grades since he was a child, outstanding, and his personality was calm and stable, so he had never been so worrying.

Though thinking so, my heart is still biased.

"Mr. Pei", Aunt Song continued bravely: "It's not that you don't know, this kid doesn't understand anything. Even if you are angry, you have to tell him clearly, what's the matter with this? Yun Qi is on the sidelines now Crying while doing homework, if you take a look at it, it will definitely hurt you."

But in the end Pei Zhe still didn't come out.

Jiang Yunqi couldn't beat Pei Zhe, so he went to apologize before going to bed.

Pei Zhe had just finished dealing with work matters, when he saw a shadow at the door of the bedroom in a blink of an eye, he said in a relaxed tone, "Come here".

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yunqi began to cry again.

Pei Zhe walked over to look at him, his heart softened, and he felt for a moment that this was the real Jiang Yunqi.

The Jiang Yunqi who can cry, get angry, and shed tears, who has a lot of tears and emotions, is the real Jiang Yunqi.

Instead of Jiang Yunqi who was as cold and numb as a dagger.

There is no right and wrong, no black and white, and no emotion.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"Understood." Jiang Yunqi stretched out his arms to hug Pei Zhe.

"What's wrong?" Pei Zhe hugged him to the edge of the bed and sat down, squatting down to look at Jiang Yunqi.

"It's not polite to the teacher." Jiang Yunqi put his arms around Pei Zhe and didn't let go.

Pei Zhe didn't speak.

Jiang Yunqi was a little afraid of him.

Pei Zhe sighed, "First, you shouldn't make fun of your body. Second, it's rude."

Jiang Yunqi nodded like pounding garlic.

After this incident, it didn't have any impact on the relationship between the two, but Aunt Song had the greatest impact.

Aunt Song began to brainwash Pei Zhe. As long as the time and place allowed, Aunt Song would talk about her unworthy grandson.

What's the use of studying well?If you enter the society and don't make progress, you will still be brushed off, gnawing at your laurels!Then give examples of those famous people who have never gone to college, or who dropped out of school halfway, and concluded: Listen to the old saying, 360 lines, you can be the number one scholar, right?The college entrance examination is the only way in the world?Our Yunqi is different. I don’t think that he can be the champion in the college entrance examination, and maybe he can win glory for the country in the future!Mr. Pei, what do you think?

At this time, Pei Zhe would just keep silent.Jiang Yunqi would laugh so much that he almost fell off his chair, and then silently helped the bowl in Pei Zhe's eyes.

Later, several times when Pei Zhe couldn't come back to sign, it was Aunt Song who signed Jiang Yunqi's papers.Afterwards, the first thing I said to Pei Zhe on the phone was: "Mr. Pei, please don't be angry. Yun Qi worked hard! Corrected very carefully. The words are also written neatly."

Pei Zhe couldn't laugh or cry.

After the unhappiness of that stalemate, Pei Zhe was much less optimistic about Jiang Yunqi's performance improvement, although occasionally he was anxious for Jiang Yunqi.

Once, just after answering a call from Aunt Song, Jiang Yunqi didn't perform well in mathematics, which is relatively good.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Zhe's mental construction failed several times, and he turned to ask Yu Cheng'an, who are the most famous high school tutoring institutions in China.

Yu Cheng'an thought it was the child of Pei Zhe's relatives, and thought to himself, how bad his grades were, that he asked Pei Si to ask such questions at his workplace.

At that time they had just arrived in Geneva, and the consulate came to pick them up. Before they could say that the journey was smooth, they heard Yu Cheng'an enlightening Pei Si: "... grades are nothing at all. There is a high school entrance rate requirement, and the teacher is nervous. The parents are also nervous. In fact, there is no need at all! Let nature take its course and maybe you can get unexpected joy."

"A good friend of mine is also engaged in research in this field, but he stayed abroad after graduation. His name is Fang Mingbai. He has a nephew who is not worried, so I won't talk about his grades. University is only for sports. Well, I just heard that he won the championship of the University Swimming League. It is also a national one. After that, he will represent the country in competitions! Wearing a red flag and holding a trophy, isn’t it amazing?”

Pei Zhe thought for a while, but said nothing.

The people at the consulate on the side nodded their heads.

The matter was later dropped.

Mainly Pei Zhe thought that Jiang Yunqi's body couldn't bear the burden of extra counseling.

Now, it's a question of grades.

Pei Zhe returned the analysis of the exercises to Jiang Yunqi, "What career do you plan to pursue in the future?"

Whatever university you go to is up to you.

Pei Zhe thought of the swimming champion Yu Cheng'an was talking about, and felt that Jiang Yunqi's body was not good enough for sports.

Jiang Yunqi didn't continue to copy it, Pei Zhe did it for his own good, so he should work hard.Hearing this, he shook his head, stared at the reading comprehension questions and read carefully, and said slowly: "I want to be as good as Brother Pei."

Pei Zhe couldn't help laughing, and tapped Jiang Yunqi on the head, "Then you should study hard."

"Go and recite the words first."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

The author has something to say: Jiang Yunqi's diary: English is the devil that prevents me from standing side by side with Brother Pei.hatred.
