When Pei Jingzhou asked her why she said she was sorry, Li Xiwu tightened her grip on Pei Jingzhou's wrist. The next second, she sat up and stared at him absently.
Pei Jingzhou asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Li Xiwu's breathing tightened: "I, I, what did I just say?"
Seeing Li Xiwu's appearance, Pei Jingzhou laughed muffledly: "What did you say and you forgot it in the blink of an eye?"
Li Xiwu swallowed his saliva and looked slightly nervous. Pei Jingzhou noticed something was wrong and asked softly: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Li Xiwu shook his head subconsciously.
I don't know whether it was because the heating was too high, or because the body easily gets hot after drinking, or because she was nervous. At this time, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Li Xiwu's forehead. After a brief period of sobriety, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body.
, she couldn't concentrate when she stood up, Pei Jingzhou supported her: "Where do you want to go?"
Li Xiwu whispered back: "I'm sleepy and want to go to bed."
After saying that, Pei Jingzhou took her directly back to the bedroom.
He put her on the bed, took off her slippers, and carefully adjusted the pillow to make her lie more comfortable. After doing this, he stood up slowly, and Li Xiwu held his hand and wouldn't let go.
Pei Jingzhou said softly: "I won't leave."
Only then did Li Xiwu let go of his hand.
Pei Jingzhou sat by the bed and stayed with her for a while, until she reluctantly fell asleep, then he got up and went to the bathroom.
Li Xiwu didn't sleep peacefully that night and had a nightmare.
In the dream, she was standing on the edge of a cliff, holding a baby in her arms. The baby was crying so hard that she was at a loss as to how to comfort her. In the blink of an eye, Pei Jingzhou appeared in front of her, reaching out to snatch the baby away from her arms.
baby.
She was unwilling to give the baby to Pei Jingzhou. At this time, Pei Jingzhou asked her: "Why did you betray me?"
She shook her head, looking very helpless. She closed her lips repeatedly to explain something, but she didn't know how to explain it to Pei Jingzhou.
At this moment, the baby in her arms was taken away by Pei Jingzhou. She wanted to snatch the baby back, but Pei Jingzhou held the baby high and asked her: "Is this evidence that you betrayed me?"
She cried and shook her head: "No, no..."
The next second, Pei Jingzhou threw the baby off the cliff without hesitation in front of her.
Her eyes widened: "Don't-"
The moment he shouted, Li Xiwu also woke up.
It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
She breathed rapidly, and suddenly the lights came on. She closed her eyes subconsciously, and the hand stretched out from her side quickly covered her eyes, blocking her from the sudden light.
Li Xiwu was covered in sweat. She slowly opened her eyes to adapt to the light, but saw Pei Jingzhou's hand blocking her eyes.
Pei Jingzhou's voice came: "Are you having a nightmare?"
Li Xiwu was sweating like rain, and his heart was beating like a drum. When he heard Pei Jingzhou's voice, he didn't feel relieved. Instead, he shrank back in fear, avoiding Pei Jingzhou's touch.
When Pei Jingzhou saw this, his hands froze in mid-air for a moment.
Li Xiwu regained consciousness, and later realized that her inadvertent behavior had hurt Pei Jingzhou. She explained: "I, I just had a nightmare. This nightmare was terrible, and I haven't recovered yet."
Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Am I in the nightmare?"
This sentence stopped Li Xiwu.
She was stunned and had no words to answer.
Pei Jingzhou stretched out his hand towards her, and Li Xiwu understood, slowly stretched out his hand, put it in his palm, and then moved his body over little by little, leaning into Pei Jingzhou's arms.
The panic just now has dissipated, and now I feel much more at ease.
She asked in a soft voice: "What time is it?"
Pei Jingzhou glanced at the electronic clock on the bedside table: "It's five o'clock and seven, it's still early. You can sleep a little longer."
To be honest, Li Xiwu couldn't sleep now. Although she felt more at ease, she would feel restless as soon as she closed her eyes. She leaned on Pei Jingzhou's arm, looking for a more comfortable position, like in his arms.
Arched cat.
Arching and arching, I heard Pei Jingzhou groan.
She was startled and raised her eyes to look at him.
The look in Pei Jingzhou's eyes was not subtle. Li Xiwu knew that he was getting angry early in the morning, so he didn't intend to turn off the fire just like that. He supported his arm to climb up and put his arm on his shoulder.
Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Huh?"
The sound from the tip of his nose echoed in Li Xiwu's heart.
She was eagerly seeking something and took the initiative to raise her head for a kiss.
In fact, what happened last night should have happened naturally, because that little episode was moved to this morning. It was not too late, and the atmosphere was getting better, which was very suitable.
Li Xiwu had selfish motives, so he took the initiative to kiss Pei Jingzhou. Although Pei Jingzhou did not respond at all, he allowed her to do whatever he wanted, and the situation was about to turn into a mess.
At the critical moment, he pressed her hand and pushed her away: "Sleep a little longer, or you won't be able to get up later."
Li Xiwu looked at him steadily.
Pei Jingzhou knew what she meant, but he didn't expect this rare rejection, which made her look anxious. She threw him back and pressed him tightly with her small body: "Pei Jingzhou, don't you want to?"
Pei Jingzhou did not answer.
Li Xiwu said directly: "I think."
Pei Jingzhou's eyes darkened, and his voice was low and deep with a hint of unconcealed desire: "Are you sure?"
Li Xiwu said: "I can't sleep anymore. I can't just get up and sit in the cold, counting the time and waiting for dawn."
Pei Jingzhou laughed: "So I became a tool?"
"Then do you want to be this tool?" she asked.
Pei Jingzhou didn't say whether he thought about it or not, he always directly proved it with his actions.
Li Xiwu didn't feel sleepy at first.
I fell asleep directly afterwards.
Pei Jingzhou was very lively. He took her to take a bath and gave her water to moisten her throat. After returning to bed, he was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he put her in pajamas before leaving.
Coming out of the bedroom, Pei Jingzhou was buttoning up his shirt.
Three of them were left unbuttoned, and he opened them casually. He picked up the mobile phone he had left on the sofa last night. It was past six-fifty, and it would soon be seven o'clock.
He found Chen Xin's phone number and dialed it. Within two or three seconds, Chen Xin picked up the phone and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Pei."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Have you arrived?"
Chen Xin: "After my wife left yesterday, Gu Lanshi didn't go out again."
Pei Jingzhou walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the neon lights outside the window that lasted all night: "You didn't go out last night?"
Chen Xin replied: "No."
Pei Jingzhou: "Then continue to guard."
Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Pei, if my wife goes to see Gu Lan again today, will you go there?"
Pei Jingzhou said in a deep voice: "If she goes again, stop her."
Chen Xin: "Yes."
Pei Jingzhou frowned and said softly: "Forget it."
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment: "...ah?"
The sky was getting brighter quickly, and in a blink of an eye the first ray of morning light appeared. Pei Jingzhou turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "It's dawn, I have to make breakfast for her."
