Jiang Yu's expression froze on his face.

The hand held by Pei Lie couldn't stop shaking.

Under the man's sharp gaze, his head slowly lowered.

He did lie.

He endured the fear and went through his mind many times. He was sure that he heard the voices of 7 people.When he saw the photos of the kidnappers, he realized who was missing almost instantly.

Pei Rong.

He would never forget Pei Rong's face once he saw it, but this man who looked similar to Pei Lie was not in the pile of photos that Jiang Ping handed over.

He lied to Jiang Ping.

Pei Lie knew that there must be a reason why Jiang Yu didn't tell the truth, and he was more keenly aware that the reason was related to him.

Seeing that Jiang Yu's face became whiter than paper, he still made up his mind, grabbed Jiang Yu's chin forcefully, and asked coldly: "Jiang Yu, don't lie to me. How many people did you see in the aquarium? Is there someone who is not in that pile of photos, who is that person?"

Pei Lie's strength was so strong that Jiang Yu felt that his jaw was going to be pinched green by him. He shook his head desperately, tears rolled out again, and shouted with sobs: "There is one, they call him Pei, Pei Rong... ..."

The tingling pain in his right leg swept across his whole body in an instant, and Pei Lie clenched his hands tightly.

No wonder he couldn't find Pei Rong when he was abroad. It turned out that Pei Rong had already returned silently.

Right under his nose.

The ward was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground.

Pei Lie's eyes were dark, Jiang Yu was so scared that he hid back, but when Pei Lie got up, he subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Where are you going?"

The corners of Jiang Yu's eyes were flushed, and there was a row of obvious tooth marks on her lips, which were obviously left when she tried her best to hold back crying and bit her mouth.

Pei Lie sighed silently, and patted Jiang Yu's head: "I'll go out and make a phone call."

He wanted to fight in the corridor, but Jiang Yu grabbed his clothes corner like a life-saving straw and refused to let go. In fact, he didn't want to let Jiang Yu out of his sight, so he stood by the hospital bed and gave Qin Yuan Made a phone call.

With a simple sentence of "Pei Rong is in the aquarium", Qin Yuan immediately understood what to do.

Pei Lie stood there for a while before sitting down, looking directly at Jiang Yu with dark eyes, and suddenly asked, "Jiang Yu, do you trust me?"

Jiang Yu subconsciously nodded.Although Pei Lie was moody, he was a person who made him feel at ease and trust him.

Pei Lie's expression relaxed a little, he held Jiang Yu's wet and hot palm, and his tone was soft as if coaxing: "Then tell me everything that happened in the aquarium."

Jiang Yu said while recalling that sometimes he paused for a long time because of fear, and Pei Lie didn't push him, but just quietly held his hand.

However, when Jiang Yu mentioned that Pei Rong was pulling his hair and questioning him about his relationship with Pei Lie, a crack finally appeared on Pei Lie's calm face.

After a while of silence, he reached out and tucked Jiang Yu's broken hair behind his ears, and brushed the delicate skin of his cheeks with his fingertips: "There is one last question, why don't you tell your brother the truth?"

"I..." Jiang Yu was stunned.

He didn't know the reason either.

This time Pei Lie did not force him to give an answer, but made a silent gesture, picked up the phone and dialed again.

Jiang Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the name he called the person on the other end of the phone.However, what Pei Lie said surprised him even more.

"Jiang Ping, Xiaoyu said that he just remembered that there was another kidnapper at the scene, who wasn't in those photos."

"Don't ask Jiang Yu again, I happen to recognize that person, his name is Pei Rong."

"Yes, he is my half-brother." Pei Lie paused for a moment, with a storm in his eyes, every word seemed to be bitten between his teeth, "I can tell you everything about him."



It was already night when Pei Lie came out of the police station after taking notes.

Qin Yuan immediately greeted him.

Pei Lie refused his support, and walked forward slowly while supporting himself on crutches.He obviously felt that after the effect of the injection faded, the state of his right leg was far worse than before.

It seemed to be back to the beginning, the time when I met Jiang Yu.

It was only after getting in the car that Jiang Yu was curled up on the car seat, wrapped in a blanket.He slept deeply, and only moved his eyelids when he heard the sound of opening and closing the car door.

Pei Lie frowned, and Qin Yuan explained in a low voice: "It's all been delivered home, but Young Master Jiang still insists on coming with me to wait for you."

Pei Lie didn't speak, and got into the car shortly.

Sensing that there was an extra heat source around him, Jiang Yu instinctively moved over to it, adjusted a comfortable posture, and pillowed it on Pei Lie's right leg.

This gesture of complete trust and dependence touched Pei Lie's heart. Under the shallow chest, the heart beat vigorously, and even the pumped blood became hot.

After guarding Jiang Yu last night, he didn't close his eyes for two days and one night. He received two more injections in his right leg, and his mental and physical strength was close to the limit.

Pei Lie rubbed his sore forehead to relax his tense body and nerves, inserted his fingers into Jiang Yu's soft hair, and closed his eyes.

The vehicle drove smoothly in the night.

In the darkness, the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth curled up, and he laughed silently.

When he arrived at Pei's house, Jiang Yu woke up a little bit.

Xiao La didn't see Jiang Yu for a week, and when he smelled him, he rushed out of the house, whining around his feet.

Pei Lie paused, said "good night" and went straight upstairs.

Everything is the same as before, but something seems to be different.

Jiang Yu stared blankly at Pei Lie's back.Pei Lie's footsteps were heavy, especially his right leg, which almost dragged on the ground, feeling like he couldn't use his strength.

Flustered for no reason.

When he rushed over, Pei Lie had already stood in the elevator, and only an indifferent face was left in his narrowing vision.

Jiang Yu didn't think much, and climbed up the stairs to the third floor in one go, just in time for Pei Lie to get out of the elevator.

Surprise flashed across Pei Lie's face, but he quickly returned to calm, turned his face away, and said in a slightly cold voice, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yu was choked by the full sense of distance in this tone.He took a deep breath, still greeted with a smile: "It's still early, do you want me to give you a massage?"

"No need." Pei Lie said.Maybe because he realized that his tone was too cold, he added: "You are tired too."

"I'm not tired." Jiang Yu said immediately, "I fell asleep in the car just now, and I'm very refreshed now."

Pei Lie was silent for a few seconds, looked up at Jiang Yu, and said three words: "I'm tired."

"..." Jiang Yu paused, not discouraged, "Then you lie on the bed with your eyes closed, and I'll massage you for you. It won't delay you, but it will make you sleep better."

"Jiang Yu," Pei Lie frowned, his tone full of impatience, "What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips.He knew that Pei Lie was always unpredictable, and he was always hot and cold, near and far away, just like some people treat their pets. When they are happy, they wave for their pets to come and play, and when they are not happy, they put them away. Put on a cold face, love to ignore.

I thought that after this incident, the relationship between him and Pei Lie could not be said to have made a qualitative leap, but at least it could be closer.But now it seems that it is just his wishful thinking.

Jiang Yu shrugged slightly, trying not to show the disappointment in his heart: "I have no other intentions, I just want to thank you for going to the aquarium to save me. Then I won't disturb your rest. Good night, have a good dream."

When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, leaving only countless loneliness in his eyes.Xiao La looked around, and finally chose to follow Jiang Yu's ass.

When he stepped down the stairs, Pei Lie spoke slowly behind him, his voice was not loud and warm, every word was like an ice pick piercing the listener's heart.

"Jiang Yu, don't get me wrong. The reason why I went to the aquarium is because it is Pei's property. Once something bad happens, it will have a great impact on the group's stock price and reputation."

After a pause, and letting the silence ferment for a while, Pei Lie completed the rest of the sentence: "It has nothing to do with you."

There was a fire in Jiang Yu's heart, burning through his reason in one go.

He turned around and walked back in front of Pei Lie, expressing what was in his mind: "Okay, just pretend that you entered the aquarium for the sake of reputation and stock price, but there were so many people at that time, why did you protect me alone? Why did you protect me?" Why don't you protect those children? My brother is so righteous, he exchanged his own life for the lives of two children, why did you protect me only? It was so dangerous at that time, bullets were flying around, and if you lay on top of me, you might be accidentally injured by stray bullets. Mr. Pei, Pei Lie! I don't know when you became so selfless, so risking your life!"

Jiang Yu paused for two seconds, took a breath, took a step closer to Pei Lie's surprised gaze, and looked straight into his eyes: "Also, why did you kiss me?"

Pei Lie didn't expect Jiang Yu to be so direct, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.He lowered his eyes subconsciously, avoiding the scorching gaze, and said in an emotionless voice, "Jiang Yu, dreams do not represent reality."

Jiang Yu's heart was pounding like a deer, and upon hearing this, it was like a pot of cold water poured over his head.

Cool.

What does Pei Lie mean? He is dreaming?Dreamed that he was kissing him?

Pei Lie's tone was so determined, and his expression so indifferent.

The tip of the tongue touched the corner of the upper lip again.

Obviously it hurts.

He was surrounded by the fear of death at that time, and the old fairy suddenly appeared again, asking him if he was in love with Pei Lie.His mind was chaotic and his thinking was chaotic.

But he remembered very clearly that Pei Lie hugged him tightly, comforted him, and kissed him.He remembered the feeling of entwining lips and tongues, how he responded jerkyly after the initial shock, how Pei Lie's teeth hit his lips...

After surviving from a desperate situation, lingering until death.

Even recalling it now, he still couldn't help but tremble all over.

But Pei Lie said that all of this was his dream...

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "I may have really had a dream... Don't worry, I will put this memory that shouldn't be there, together with other things that happened that day. Forget things together."

"Sorry for wasting your time."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Pei Lie and left without looking back.
