It was a week later that Shuli began to feel something was wrong.

He knew that Pei Xingzhi was very busy during this period, but in recent days he and Pei Xingzhi's schedules seemed to be completely staggered. In the morning, he went out before Pei Xingzhi got up, and when Pei Xingzhi came back at night, he was already asleep. Can't even see each other.

However, they can still communicate by phone, and they usually communicate with each other. Pei Xingzhi doesn't seem to be unusual, as if it's really because he's too busy.

Shuli also wondered if she was thinking too much.

At noon, Shuli called Pei Xingzhi and asked him if he would come back for dinner or if he should send it over. Pei Xingzhi paused for a few seconds, and a very gentle voice came from the phone: "It just so happened that someone asked me out, you eat Come on, don't wait for me."

"That's it." Shuli said with a smile, "Don't be too busy, remember to rest."

Pei Xingzhi hung up the phone after a "hmm".

【"Brother Tong, tell me, should I suspect that there is someone outside Pei Xingzhi?"】【"What do you think?"】

【"If I don't know that Pei Xingzhi is not an ordinary person, I will..."】Shuli's voice slowly quieted down, and murmured,【"Wait a minute...it seems...isn't it impossible?"】System:【 "..."]

Shuli held her mobile phone and thought for a while, thinking that she still needed to find out about the situation, so she poked Ouyang Chenming on WeChat: [Is brother there, I want to ask you something.How is your teacher Pei recently? 】Ouyang Chenming quickly replied: 【Very good, what's the matter? 】

【Then do you know who he had lunch with today? 】

[I don't know that. 】

Posted again after a while, [But when I just finished class, I saw Teacher Pei and Teacher Xie going downstairs together, maybe they went to eat. 】Shuli's ears perked up: 【Mr. Xie?Male or female?how do you look 】【...He is an old man who is one year older than you and Mr. Pei combined. 】【Then have you noticed anything wrong with him recently? 】

[Something wrong?Let me think about it... Once I went to the office to pick up something, and I saw him in a daze, and he didn't respond after calling several times. 】【When did this happen? 】

[Just two days ago.Hey, what's the matter with you?What do these ask? 】【Then what, isn't this a quarrel with him recently, and I can't find the steps to reconcile. 】Ouyang Chenming was shocked: 【Teacher Pei can quarrel with you with such a good temper?Shuli, you can do it. 】 Shuli: ...

After chatting with Ouyang Chenming casually, Shuli ended the topic.

daze?

Shuli crossed her legs, leaned on the sofa and began to relax.

The system said softly: 【"Have you figured out what to do?"】

【"The problem is that there is really nothing wrong with him, and he can push it to work. If I do something, it seems to be forcing him."】【"So?"】

【"We can only respond to changes with the same, wait and see."】What did Shuli think of, 【"I remember that it will be Pei Xingzhi's birthday in a few days?"】【"Yes."】

Keeping in mind, Shuli continued to let go, 【"I was discussing the progress with you before, and I think this time seems to be a little easier... so I'm here waiting for me..."】

On Pei Xingzhi's birthday, he went to school as usual, while Shuli spent the whole afternoon making cakes at home.Pei Xingzhi still didn't come back during dinner, Shuli picked up the phone to call him, paused, then put it down as if nothing had happened.

When Pei Xingzhi returned home late at night, he thought that Shuli had already fallen asleep, but when he opened the door, the light inside the room instantly revealed.

The living room was brightly lit, and Shuliwo fell asleep on the sofa.On the coffee table is a beautiful cake, covered with a thick layer of fruit and chocolate chips, with a line of words carefully written: "Happy 24th Birthday" and a smiley face next to it.

Pei Xingzhi was startled.

He had been drowsy for the past few days, and it was only at this moment that he remembered that today was his birthday.

Pei Xingzhi's chest was sore and limp, and he bent down to carry Shuli back to the room.Sleeping Shuli noticed the movement, opened her eyes in a daze, saw that it was Pei Xingzhi, woke up instantly, and sat up from the sofa.

Pei Xingzhi simply squatted in front of him, raised his head to look at him, and asked softly, "Why did you wait so late?"

Shuli rubbed her eyes, her voice was a bit vague: "I thought you would come back early, so I just waited here, but I fell asleep."

Pei Xingzhi noticed a red mark on the knuckle of Shuli's right index finger, and frowned, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Shuli let out a "huh" and didn't pay much attention, "It's okay, I got burned when I made the cake this afternoon." He thought of the cake on the coffee table, his eyes sparkled, "I made you a birthday cake, it must be very good eat."

"Have you applied the medicine?"

"……No."

Shuli watched Pei Xingzhi fetch the medicine box, took his hand and gently spread the burn ointment on the wound.Pei Xingzhi's eyelashes were long and straight, with distinct roots. When they fell down, they covered his eyes, appearing calm and gentle.

A face as beautiful as a mountain of ink and wash.

Shuli whispered, "I'm so busy, I don't even remember my own birthday."

His tone was a little cautious and slightly wronged, which made Pei Xingzhi's heart ache a little.

Pei Xingzhi was silent, and after a while, he suddenly asked: "Shuli, if... I mean, if you know something will not have a good result, will you do it?"

Shuli was slightly stunned, Pei Xingzhi asked this question too endlessly, he hesitated for a moment, "Is it a bad result?"

"Yes."

"Want to do it?"

"I really want to."

"Like it?"

"like very much."

"Then I will do it."

Pei Xingzhi raised his eyes to look at Shuli, and said softly, "...why?"

Shuli held Pei Xingzhi's fingertips, "If I don't do it, I will never let it go in my life."

Pei Xingzhi looked at him steadily.

Shuli asked: "Did something bad happen to you?"

After a long time, Pei Xingzhi cocked his lips, "How could that be?"

After applying the medicine, Shuli lit the candle in the middle of the cake, held it in front of Pei Xingzhi, and said, "First make a wish, then blow out the candle."

Pei Xingzhi followed what he said, closed his eyes for a moment, and blew out the candle.

Shuli rolled her eyes sweetly, "Xingzhi, happy birthday, be happy every day."

Pei Xingzhi responded softly, "Yes."

Because it was too late, Shuli didn't have any appetite, so she put down the fork after taking a few mouthfuls of cake, and stared at Pei Xingzhi who was eating seriously, "Is it delicious?"

Pei Xingzhi swallowed a mouthful of the cake, "It's delicious."

"What did you wish for?"

He paused with his hand holding the fork, "It is said that if you say a wish, it will not come true."

Shuli laughed, "It doesn't matter, you are so powerful, you can achieve anything you want."

"You want to know?"

"Uh-huh."

"My wish is that I want to be with you forever."

After the birthday, Pei Xingzhi was finally not so busy and returned to the way he used to get along with Shuli.Shuli thought it was over like this, until one day

"Snapped!"

Shuli happened to pass by the study when he heard the sound. He walked in and found that Pei Xingzhi was maintaining a standing posture, staring blankly at the shards of glass on the floor, with a blank expression.

"What's wrong?" Pei Xingzhi's appearance was so abnormal that Shuli was a little anxious, thinking that he was injured somewhere.

Pei Xingzhi suddenly came back to his senses, "No, it's okay, I didn't hold the cup steady just now, and accidentally dropped it."

Shuli still hesitated: "Then why do you..."

Pei Xingzhi smiled, "Suddenly I was frightened." Then he said, "Auntie will come over to clean up later, you go and play, I have to prepare lessons."

It's already a very normal look and tone.

"Okay." Shuli didn't say anything, and closed the door when she went out.

Pei Xingzhi sat down slowly, leaned back on the chair, the blood on his face faded.After a while, he raised his right hand and put it in front of his eyes.

The joints are distinct, the knuckles are slender, the nails are clean and round, and the white and beautiful hand looks like a work of art.

His eye sockets were red for a moment, and suddenly he covered his eyes with his fingers, and the corners of his mouth were curled into a slightly drooping arc.

There was a long silence.

He finally put down the hand that blocked his eyes, and looked at a certain point in the void, his eyes seemed to have been washed by clear water, and no emotion could be seen in them.

……

On the other side, Shuli returned to the living room and turned on the TV absent-mindedly.

System: ["His reaction doesn't look like he's fine."]

【"I think so too."】Shuli changed the channel aimlessly, frowning, 【"He must be hiding something from me, I have a bad premonition."】Shuli's premonition was not wrong, Pei Xingzhi made a mistake overnight Time is back to "busy" and worse than last time.

If it is said that last time Pei Xingzhi often left early and returned late, but the other times were the same, then this time he tried his best to avoid getting in touch with Shuli, and even kept the necessary words as short as possible, otherwise he would rely on others to convey them, deliberately making people think It's okay to pretend that you don't feel it.

【"Do you still remember that on the night of Pei Xingzhi's birthday, he asked me, if he knew something would not have a good result, would he still do it? What he said must have something to do with me, otherwise he wouldn't have done it during this time This way."]【"Hmm."】

Shuli had a flash of inspiration, ["He won't remember what happened after he met me in the last world?"] and then denied the idea, ["No, even if I remembered, it wouldn't be this reaction. And the two It's not impossible for people to have the same appearance, I refused to admit that it was me, how could he really suspect that I also came from that world?"]【"Yes."】

["...I said Brother Tong, can you say anything other than 'hmm'?"] The system changed his words very accommodatingly: ["Yes, continue to analyze."] ["..."] Shuli frustrated Muttering: ["Very good, there are at least five more words."] ["Did something happen after I left in the last world?"] After thinking and thinking, Shuli still asked unwillingly: ["Tong Brother, you really don't know which node Pei Xingzhi came from?"]【"I don't know."】

The expected answer.

Shuli sighed, puzzled, 【"Then what went wrong?"】【"Actually, you don't need to know."】

Shuli was taken aback, 【"What?"】

【"You don't have to know what happened, as long as you make Pei Xingzhi make up your mind to get things back on track, you will achieve your goal, right?"]【But, I don't even know what happened, How to make him make up his mind?"]【"Crying, making trouble, and hanged himself."】

Shuli felt that when the system uttered the phrase "one cry, two troubles and three hanged himself" in a cold, deep and magnetic voice, it was really illusory and absurd, so she couldn't help being stunned: 【"Are you serious?"】The system Statement without emotion: ["You know, he loves you."] ["He loves me, and then?"] Shuli suddenly paused, and repeated thoughtfully, ["Yes, he loves you." Me."] His eyes lit up, 【"I know what to do."】

At the end of October, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the autumn in the Jiangnan water town is picturesque and poetic. The S-sized ginkgo tree was brilliant yellow, and Pei Xingzhi walked alone on the ginkgo path, stepping on the leaves with the soles of his shoes, making a small "rustling" sound.

The phone rang suddenly, and Shuli's name was displayed on the screen. He stopped and put his finger on the answer button, but he didn't press it for a long time.Waited quietly for a while until Shuli hung up the phone.

After a while, Shuli called again, and he finally connected.

A familiar and sweet voice sounded: "Why didn't you answer the phone just now? Are you busy?"

Pei Xingzhi remained silent, and said flatly: "Well, it's inconvenient now, we'll talk about it next time if we have something to do." Before Shuli could speak again, he pressed the hang up button.

"Huh." Pei Xingzhi exhaled lightly, with a little tiredness and sadness in his eyes.

A ginkgo leaf fell on his shoulder, and Pei Xingzhi raised his hand to take it off, as if feeling something, he turned around suddenly.

The boy on the phone just now stood not far away and stared at him blankly, his face was pale, but his eyes were red.

"..." Pei Xingzhi opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Shuli turned around and ran away quickly.

"Shuli!" He chased after her.

Shuli returned home before Pei Xingzhi, and when Pei Xingzhi arrived, he found that Shuli was not in the living room, so he immediately went to his room.Sure enough, Shuli squatted on the ground, packing her clothes and luggage.

Pei Xingzhi rushed forward and grabbed Shuli's wrist, "Shuli, I'm not..."

Shuli lowered her head and remained motionless, her wrist trembling slightly.

Pei Xingzhi's voice was also trembling: "Shuli, don't do this."

A large tear fell and hit the clothes spread out in the glass box, but he still bowed his head and did not move.

Pei Xingzhi lifted Shuli's face with his hand, and two more tears fell on his fingers.Shuli raised her eyes to look at him steadily, her face was covered with tears, and a string of teardrops rolled down from her eyes, almost scalding his fingertips.

"Are you tired of me?" Shuli asked him desperately, her voice was soft and hoarse.

He cried violently, but suppressed all his voices, causing his entire chest to gasp, and the short question was almost out of tune: "Are you... don't you need me..."

"You tell me... what did I do wrong, I will change it..."

How to describe the feeling at this time?

It was like watching all the treasures I cherished and loved being knocked to the ground, like a heavy hammer piercing into the chest and smashing the internal organs, like... Shuli crying in front of him .

All emotions were defeated at this moment, Pei Xingzhi hugged Shuli tightly, "You are not wrong, it was I who was wrong." He choked up, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "I was wrong..."

The cloth on his chest was soaked with tears from the person in his arms, Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes, "I've always needed you...I love you..."

……

The next day, Shuli was awakened by the cold touch on her eyelids, and just about to open her eyes, Pei Xingzhi's warm and soft voice came from above her head: "Don't move, bear with it."

The emotions of both of them were too intense last night, and they fell asleep in a daze.Pei Xingzhi also just woke up, and found that Shuli cried too hard last night, and the skin on his eyes was too thin, and his eyes were swollen after a night, so he wrapped ice cubes in a towel and gently rubbed his eyes to reduce the swelling.

Shuli's voice was a little hoarse: "Don't you need to go to school?"

"asked for leave."

After a while, Shuli responded belatedly, and said again: "You..."

"Ok?"

Shuli pursed her lips, but did not continue.

"what you want to say?"

Pei Xingzhi took away the towel, and Shuli tried to open his eyes.In the slightly blurred vision, the sun came in through the window, and Pei Xingzhi leaned over his bed, looking very gentle.

Shuli hugged Pei Xingzhi with both arms, and rested her chin on his shoulder, "I want to say, you don't have to do this, I will never blame you."

Pei Xingzhi whispered in his ear: "What if I take your words as endless indulgence?"

"That is."

"..."

Shuli said: "Unless you no longer need me, I will not leave you."

"No." Pei Xingzhi patted him on the back lightly, "I will accompany you into Tomorrow."
