Chapter 164 Come with me
Chapter 164 Come with me
On the streets of a foreign country, two rows of tall and straight trees extend to the end of the road. The street lights are hidden among the leaves, and the mottled shadows cast by the trees add a bit of poetry to the already quiet street.
Pei Shi chose a road with few people.
Although there aren't many people, the road is a bit far to the hotel where Zhou Niantang is staying.
Zhou Niantang kept looking left and right along the way, fearing that he would meet his old father or Zhou Yunqi.
She couldn't persuade him, so she could only obey him reluctantly.
Pei Shi noticed as soon as he stepped onto the street that the person on his back was in a panic and kept moving around.
"Don't move, lie down."
Zhou Niantang was unhappy because it wasn't her who asked him to carry her!
"If you feel uncomfortable, just put me down. I didn't ask you to carry me."
Pei Shi now realized that Zhou Niantang was angry with him, and this anger might not just be because of what had just happened.
He turned his head slightly and saw Zhou Niantang pouting and staring at his back with a look of dissatisfaction.
As if she hadn't expected that I would turn around, she looked surprised for a moment and then turned away.
He pretended not to see it and continued walking forward. After a while, he asked her, "Does it hurt?"
Zhou Niantang remained silent. In recent times, whenever she got hurt, she would run into him, and he would always ask her if it hurt.
Did he want to wait until I cried out in pain and then laugh at myself?
Zhou Niantang once again thought of Pei Shi in a bad way, so she said coldly, "It doesn't hurt."
Pei Shi, who had long guessed that she would be stubborn, did not ask any more questions and continued to walk forward in silence.
The young man's straight and broad back, the warm yellow street lights, and the quiet environment where only Pei Shi's footsteps could be heard slowly made Zhou Niantang feel sleepy.
But she didn't dare to sleep, so she forced herself to stay sleepy and chat with Pei Shi.
"Did you come here after you went abroad that time?" She had known from the news that Pei Shi made his fortune here.
It’s different from the original, in which he seemed to be in Country M. However, even though the place is different, he still started from scratch on his own and even returned to City A earlier than the original plot.
Sure enough, hatred is the driving force behind his efforts.
Pei Shi did not hide it and said "hmm".
"So what were you doing when you first came here?" In her imagination, the penniless male protagonist started from scratch and usually had to work as a waiter or cleaner, etc., in order to highlight the male protagonist's difficult life.
Pei Shi broke her inherent concept and said, "Do game development."
Zhou Niantang then remembered that he had already been in touch with Zhang Hao before he went abroad, and they had even started a company together.
During the years when he was away, the game company headed by Zhang Hao made a lot of money.
So what this means is that this person didn’t suffer much in country R?
No wonder he never used his card. I guess he didn’t even care about that little bit of money at that time.
She suddenly had a question and continued to ask him, "I took you to the airport and then I left first. Did you go abroad later or did you go abroad that day?"
If it were in the past, she would never have talked about these things with Pei Shi. Perhaps it was his recent abnormal behavior that made her let down her guard and dare to ask and speak.
What she didn't know was that when she asked these questions, Pei Shi was happy in his heart.
He and Zhou Niantang never had a normal chat.
"After you left, the 2pm flight left."
"Oh." Zhou Niantang thought about it and realized that it meant that he had planned it in advance, but he just happened to ask him to go abroad on the same day.
Thinking back, I felt so stupid back then. I guess he was laughing at me behind my back.
She stopped talking, and Pei Shi began to ask her what she was doing here.
"I'm on vacation with my family. I was supposed to go to the teahouse tonight to look for my dad. The name he sent me was exactly like this, but I couldn't find him."
She took out her cell phone from her pocket, tapped it twice, then put one hand on his shoulder and held the phone in front of him with the other hand to show him the address.
"It's obviously the same, how can I not find it?" Zhou Niantang muttered.
When the girl approached him, the fragrance from her body permeated his nose. Pei Shi paused in breathing and turned his face away unnaturally.
“Haruhe Tea House moved to a new location last month.”
Zhou Niantang: ...So I was just being too clever.
But the old father didn't answer her call, so the old father also has to take half the responsibility for this matter!
"How do you know it so clearly?" He was still in City A the day before New Year's Eve, and he still knew what happened here last month.
Soon she knew the answer, she heard the person in front of her say: "Chunhe Tea House is my property."
Zhou Niantang: ...
She recalled the scene she saw in the teahouse and asked him curiously, "Why did you beat that man? Aren't you afraid that he will call the police later?"
Pei Shi finally understood why she dared to run around in a foreign country. She had no idea about the situation in Country R.
But think about it, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and no one will tell her these things. She is just here for vacation and just wants to enjoy the superficial prosperity.
If it were in the past, he might have told her darkly that the man might not have the chance to call the police later.
But now, he couldn't do that.
"He is a bad guy who has done all kinds of bad things. He has been in jail before. He didn't dare to call the police."
They were on different sides, the man was here to attack him, and he felt like there was nothing wrong with saying that.
Zhou Niantang actually wanted to say that no matter how bad a person is, he should be handed over to the police for handling, but she didn't dare to continue asking this question. If she made him angry, it would be a waste of time.
Snow began to fall from the sky.
The winter in country R is very cold, and the snow was already falling heavily. There was a big hood on Zhou Niantang's down jacket. She straightened up slightly and raised her hand to put the hood on.
Just as I put it on, I heard Pei Shi's subtle voice say, "Lie down and block the snow for me."
Zhou Niantang: ...How can he have the nerve to let a girl block the snow for him!
Fortunately, her down jacket was waterproof, so she lay down, and the big hat covered most of Pei Shi's head.
She herself didn't realize that what she was doing was actually somewhat intimate.
But she still couldn't help but complain: "You sent me back, aren't you just using me as an umbrella?"
Pei Shi: "...I don't have the ability to predict the weather."
Zhou Niantang thought about it and it made sense, the snow had just fallen.
She was now lying on his shoulder, swaying, and feeling sleepy again.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard Pei Shi calling her.
"Huh? What for?"
The distance was even closer than when she showed him her phone just now. The girl's breath was basically spraying on his ears. Pei Shi's ears turned red, but neither of them knew it.
As if guiding her, Pei Shi spoke slowly: "Last time you said you were afraid that I would retaliate against you, are you still afraid now?"
Zhou Niantang was so sleepy that she felt her brain wasn't enough to think. After a few seconds, she said, "It's as if you won't retaliate if I'm not afraid anymore."
Unexpectedly, Pei Shi continued to say, "I can ignore those things as you wish."
Zhou Niantang thought he was joking, how could that be possible? She laughed, turned her head away and ignored him.
Pei Shi suppressed the pounding of his heart. He had prepared these words for many days, after countless tangled nights and a long period of torture.
On a snowy night in a foreign country, he said it behind the girl he loved's back, accompanied by her shallow breathing in his ears.
"Zhou Niantang, stay with me."
