Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 165 Very Lonely

Snowflakes swayed in the air like smoke. Pei Shi stopped. There were no other pedestrians around, and the surrounding environment was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.

Zhou Niantang was about to fall asleep, but after hearing his words, his brain took a long time to react.

After she had repeated this sentence several times in a daze, she suddenly looked up and asked, "What did you just say?"

She thought she was so sleepy that she was hallucinating!

But Pei Shi reiterated it.

"Be with me, and the past will be wiped out."

Zhou Niantang was completely awake, her heartbeat accelerated in an instant, making her speechless for a long time.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

She grasped the key point in his words and asked him: "If I don't agree, will you continue to retaliate?"

Pei Shi was silent. Why was her focus on the last sentence?

"What do you think?" He teased her deliberately.

It was Zhou Niantang's turn to be silent. Was this a confession?

But who would threaten someone while confessing, as if forcing them to agree?

"But why, why do you want me to be with you?"

She always felt that Pei Shi was unpredictable. He had even watched her die a few months ago without helping her.

Then I heard him say in a somewhat gentle tone: "Because I kissed you, I have to be responsible for you."

Zhou Niantang blushed suddenly.

Although she felt aggrieved for a long time after that incident, she didn't talk about taking responsibility like he did. At most, she felt that it had to be made clear.

"You are so conservative. Nowadays, people may not be together even if they sleep together for several times, let alone kissing."

She thought that what he said was nothing, but Pei Shi's whole body turned cold. He suddenly remembered what Zhou Niantang said before, that she had seen a lot of men.

"Is it?"

The question was just two words long, but it was even colder than the snowy day now, and Zhou Niantang almost shivered.

She noticed that there seemed to be a little snowflakes on his drooping eyelashes, which not only did not make him look disheveled, but instead made him look a bit worldly.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Ah."

The two of them didn't say anything, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet again.

After a long while, Zhou Niantang's hand, which was originally on his shoulder, gradually clenched into a fist, his eyes turned red, and he said helplessly: "Pei Shi, you shouldn't be like this."

The arrogant and cold male protagonist not only doesn't get together with the female protagonist, but also expresses that he has other feelings for her everywhere, and even kisses her.

Now he wants her to be with him again and offers conditions that seem very tempting.

Well, I don’t know whether the male protagonist has turned evil or not, but his character has collapsed for sure.

Pei Shi didn't expect Zhou Niantang's first reaction to be this. He asked back, "Then what should I be like?"

Zhou Niantang was also confused. From the very beginning, she believed that this was a book, but at the same time she firmly believed that each of them had their own independent consciousness, which would make them make decisions and behave differently from the original plot.

So they are all living people, they have their own lives and ideas, and are not bound by any settings.

But as the male protagonist, Pei Shi seems to be on the established path, and even if there are deviations in the middle, he will eventually return to the original track.

After thinking it over, she said, "I don't know either."

"But I won't agree to you." As I said this, the unspeakable discomfort in my heart surged up again.

It was even stronger than the last time she was told to keep her distance at school, and it hurt so much that she almost couldn't breathe.

She didn't have time to think about the origin of this emotion for the time being, because she wanted to try her best to maintain her state and not let Pei Shi see any clues.

Pei Shi smiled bitterly. It turned out that even if he was willing to write off the past, Zhou Niantang would not be willing to even look at him.

On this snowy day, he put aside his self-esteem and hatred for the first time, but he was still rejected and not chosen.

When his chest couldn't stop aching, he felt the head that had left his shoulder come up again.

The sound of shallow breathing, along with the heat of speaking, hit the side of his face.

"I'm sorry," he heard her whisper.

No matter how well Zhou Niantang concealed it, Pei Shi still felt that she was very sad.

He was the one who was rejected, so why should she be sad?

Pei Shi certainly didn't understand.

He threw a century-long problem to Zhou Niantang. Perhaps he thought that as long as he was unwilling to care about it, he could make peace with Zhou Yunqi.

Zhou Niantang was sober. She knew that if Pei Shi did not retaliate against them, she would not have to worry about her old father and sister having to endure the danger of the family going bankrupt one day.

But if she agreed, she would be stabbing Zhou Yunqi in the back.

Zhou Yunqi, who had been bearing the pressure of family breakdown and death for two lifetimes, never relaxed. She took it all on her own and even said that she had avenged her.

At this time, if he knew that the sister he had always protected was with her enemy in two lifetimes, the feeling would be no less than the feeling of his family being destroyed in his previous life.

That would be a kind of endless loneliness, Zhou Niantang understood it all.

She knew that Pei Shi would never understand. Even if she felt something for him deep down in her heart, it was not something that could be achieved by simply saying "be together".

What lies between them is the pain that Zhou Yunqi has endured in two lifetimes, and the sadness of being tortured for no reason in Pei Shi's current life.

The bloody truth is a dead end that no one can untie.

The snow is getting heavier.

The rest of the journey was not far, and neither of them spoke again. Pei Shi did not ask her why she was sad.

The fact that she feels sad means that she is not completely indifferent to me.

And she must have had her reasons for doing so.

That reason is nothing more than the reason why he would not be chosen.

Even if he had wanted to use some means to force her to agree, it all fell apart when she said "I'm sorry" in a tone that couldn't hide her sadness.

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Pei Shi finally put her down. Only then did he clearly see that Zhou Niantang's eyes were red and wet.

He stopped looking and turned away.

The suite manager who had been waiting at the hotel entrance came over to support her. She just stood in the snow and saw his back as he turned and left.

Well, it's very lonely.

As he watched, Zhou Niantang took a deep breath, sniffed his nose, and was helped by the housekeeper into the hotel.

After returning to the room, the suite's housekeeper brought medicine to treat the foot injury. After Zhou Niantang thanked him and accepted it, he went back to the room and lay down.

Only after I rolled myself into the quilt did I dare to cry a little.

If, if there was no reason not to, she thought, she might not refuse.

She knew exactly what her first thought was.
