grey alley

The housekeeper took the tools and went to the master bedroom on the second floor to repair the curtains.

Pei Xiqing was not in the room, so Lu Mingzhou came in to get his mobile phone, looked at the fallen curtain shelf, and told him to change a curtain, the dark one was a bit too long.

The housekeeper diligently went to the warehouse on the first floor to find a light-colored curtain, warm yellow, which didn't match Lu Mingzhou's simple and tidy room style. He went to ask about it, and Lu Mingzhou said it was just this one.

The housekeeper went back to the second floor to install the curtains. He didn't quite understand what the two of them did on the bay window yesterday to "accidentally" pull down the curtains.

He fixed the curtains, packed up the tools, and put back the bay window cushion that he had taken away. As a result, a small blue object fell out from the crack of the pillow, and a circular outline protruded from the square vacuum package. .

The butler was taken aback.

He picked it up and looked at it, stuffed it back under the cushion, and finally understood.

In the living room, Lu Mingzhou sat next to Pei Xiqing, wanting to imitate the other person's posture and coil himself into the soft sofa like a snake, but he gave up after a while, and changed his posture to avoid the pressure on the waist and abdomen, and use the side hip Take the weight of your body.

Seeing this, Pei Xiqing stretched his body to the side, spread out his limbs and pillowed his head on his thigh, and pressed his hand gently on his lower back, so that Lu Mingzhou almost couldn't help jumping up.

Last night, Lu Mingzhou mostly took the initiative, patiently guiding the other party bit by bit. Although he has rich experience, he has never tried this before, so that he has suffered a lot.

The man was lying on his back on the sofa, the muscles in his thighs and lower abdomen were tensed due to soreness.He closed his eyes and rubbed Pei Xiqing's hair, the slender and soft hair between his fingers could make people feel a little more relaxed, like a cat lying on someone's lap and stroking lazily.

The butler came down from the second floor with the toolbox on his back, shining brightly all the way from the second floor to the small warehouse behind the first floor, like a silent [-]kw light bulb passing silently in the background.

After pinching his rebellious paw, Lu Mingzhou's voice was still slightly hoarse, "Don't move, let uncle rest for a while."

"Okay."

Pei Xiqing withdrew his claws, and the two fell asleep on the sofa in the morning.

When he woke up, Lu Mingzhou was no longer there. Pei Xiqing guessed that he was dealing with business in the study, so he didn't bother him, stretched himself, put on his shoes and went for a walk outside.

He is in very good physical condition now, and it is rare that he does not have those annoying desires, so he ran outside for a walk and came back. When he got home, Lu Mingzhou was looking for someone with his mobile phone. Seeing him in the living room, he walked over to Handing the phone to him, "Where did you go?"

WeChat call application...

Pei Jiajun.

Pei Xiqing glanced at it, but didn't answer it right away, "I went for a walk outside."

Lu Mingzhou wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue: "Is it hot outside?"

"It's okay." Pei Xiqing wiped off the sweat with his hands, and when he lowered his head again, the voice call request had been cancelled.

He didn't care, and was about to put the phone down, when Lu Mingzhou reminded him, "This is your brother, right? He called a lot just now, but no one answered, and it turned into a voice call request, which kept ringing."

"Yeah." Pei Xiqing responded, and the next moment an application for a video call came over.

Lu Mingzhou asked: "Is this something urgent? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?"

In fact, Pei Xiqing could probably guess why, he just didn't want to answer the call.

In the end, the video call was switched to voice again, and finally dialed, Pei Xiqing said: "Jiajun."

Lu Mingzhou had no interest in listening to other people's phone calls, so he went back to the second floor knowingly.

As soon as the phone was connected, Pei Jiajun's choked up voice called him, "Brother."

Pei Xiqing didn't respond.

The person on the other end of the phone was crying, and it could be heard that he was crying quite sadly, calling him brother.

After being silent for about half a minute, Pei Xiqing spoke, "What do you want to say? If you don't say it, I'll die."

"Don't hang up," Pei Jiajun reacted fiercely, "Brother, brother, don't hang up, I...I know."

"Those things my dad did, the 20..." Pei Xiqing swallowed his dry throat, unable to speak out, and could only say: "I'm sorry...I'm really sorry, I don't know what to say ..."

Pei Xiqing was very calm, and his tone was even peaceful: "You didn't apologize to me."

"No," Pei Jiajun shook his head, but still said, "I'm sorry."

Pei Xiqing exhaled lightly, and was about to hang up the phone, but the other side seemed to have sensed his intentions, and his tone was full of panic, "Brother, I won't want the 20, you don't have the obligation to give it to us." 20, my dad, he can't do this, he really—”

Pei Jiajun cried: "Come back, we don't want the 20 yuan, my mother has already kicked my father out of the yard after knowing about it, can you not leave..."

"Jiajun," Pei Xiqing pinched his phone, his expression calm, unaware that Lu Mingzhou on the second floor was smoking a cigarette outside his study, and he could see his expression in full view, "I'm not your brother anymore. If you leave me as an outsider, let's live together and get along well, and don't have to be unhappy everywhere because of my existence like before."

Pei Jiajun's voice came from the phone: "But we have lived together for five years, five years, brother, you can't just leave—"

The call was hung up.

Simply neat and a little unfeeling.

What is five years to him?

Lu Mingzhou looked at Pei Xiqing's expression, a little confused.

The next moment Pei Xiqing looked up and saw him standing by the handrail on the second floor, so he smiled at him, beautiful and well-behaved, with a touch of sweetness.

He thought to himself, this younger brother Pei Xiqing is really a bit of a waste, and he still can't catch a person's heart in five years.

Doesn't this make the stray cat fall into his hands?

Thanks to this brother for his waste.

Pei Xiqing strolled up from the first floor, stood aside and looked at it, then put the cigarette between his fingers into his mouth, his eyes moved slightly while looking at him, and took a puff.

"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."

Lu Mingzhou helped him with a smile, and took the cigarette back, "Don't smoke, kid, don't learn from uncle."

Pei Xiqing coughed until her cheeks turned red, and her eyes were covered with water.

"Rush?"

Pei Xiqing nodded.

"Does your throat hurt?"

Pei Xiqing didn't speak, but still looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.

Lu Mingzhou smiled and said, "Don't touch Ang after you know this kind of discomfort. Cigarettes are not a good thing."

With a jump, Pei Xiqing threw him on the sofa, and then he was familiar with each other.

The butler went out, and when he came back, he was carrying a bag of chemical fertilizers. He heard discordant voices as soon as he entered the door.

The butler, who was still smiling just now, took back his foot that had been stuck in, and stood at the door for a while, but found that he had nowhere to go, so he ran to squat in the small garden and sighed.

Ugh.

After getting up and sending the last work email, Lu Mingzhou leaned back on the sofa to relax.

Pei Xiqing was not woken up by his movement, sleeping peacefully and well-behaved.

It was almost seven o'clock, Lu Mingzhou endured the foreign body sensation and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he went downstairs, he saw the housekeeper cooking in the kitchen.

The butler, who had been drinking the northwest wind outside for a long time, decided to cook western food that Lu Mingzhou didn't like, and then stew some health-preserving tea to reduce fire and diuresis, so that they would go to the toilet tonight.

Humph.

Let you treat me like air.

Pei Xiqing didn't wake up until after the butler had prepared dinner. Lu Mingzhou asked him to sleep a little longer, saying that he would have three days off after finishing his busy work, and asked him if he wanted to go out to play together for a few days.

"Okay." Pei Xiqing closed his eyes and groped for his position with his hands, but the other party grabbed five fingers and pinched them in his hand, "Get up, the butler has already finished the meal."

Pei Xiqing sat up with messy hair, her clothes slid down, revealing a large light red mark under her collarbone: "Okay."

Lu Mingzhou cleared his throat, and looked away, "Then get up and change clothes."
