Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 153 That Beautiful Girl

The day before New Year's Eve, the weather was a bit gloomy.

It rarely snows in winter in City A. Looking at the gloomy weather, the employees in the store were discussing whether it would rain or snow.

After all, the temperature is much colder than the previous few days.

Zhou Niantang is going to attend an engagement party tonight, and the store has been busy for many days, so she looked at the weather forecast.

"It's said there's a little snow, so everyone should go home early today. We can close the store after five o'clock."

All three shop assistants were very happy.

After all, it was an engagement party, so Zhou Niantang planned to stay in the store until two in the afternoon and then go home. She also needed to change clothes and do her makeup.

The gloomy weather made the already solemn cemetery even more solemn and dignified.

Yun Zhi's eyes were red as she followed Pei Shi into the car.

Teacher Lin ultimately did not survive this year and passed away two days ago.

Many people came to attend the funeral today. Teacher Lin has been teaching for many years and has helped many students, some of whom were junior high school classmates who studied with her and Pei Shi.

They had known from the news that Pei Shi was doing well now, and they all wanted to go up and have a few words with him before the funeral began.

However, Pei Shi's aura today was heavy and sharp, and there was no smile on his face, so those people gave up.

Now that she was in the car, Yun Zhi gradually calmed down.

"Going to Yifeng Road?" Pei Shi asked her.

Yun Zhi's voice was a little nasal: "No, let's go to the narrow alley. You have to go too."

Pei Shi was a little surprised. He hadn't been there for many years, so when Yun Zhi mentioned the name, he thought for a while before reacting.

"According to the custom in our city A, after attending a funeral, you have to wash your face with bamboo leaves and grapefruit leaves at home."

Originally, going to the house on Yifeng Road was the most convenient, but Luo Ze's mother said that they had not lived there for four months and it was not appropriate to go there immediately after attending the funeral.

So she chose to go to the house on the narrow alley, since she hadn't seen it for a long time.

As for Pei Shi, Yun Zhi never asked him where his house was in City A, but he certainly wouldn't take this custom to heart.

Yunzhi rarely paid attention to these things before, but Luo Ze's mother believed in them, so she always liked to remind her.

Pei Shi did not refuse her. He would leave for Country R the day after tomorrow and planned to stay for a while before coming back. He had been handing over work to Li Fan these two days.

So there are some things he also needs to say to Yun Zhi.

"I'm going to Country R the day after tomorrow."

"How long will you be gone? Can you come back before the New Year?" Yun Zhi had made a plan to invite Pei Shi to come along, and the three of them, along with Xiao Qi, would spend the New Year together.

"Not sure yet." Although his tone was very calm, one could tell that he was not in a good mood.

Yun Zhi then realized something was wrong. Was he planning not to come back in the short term?

Why? Are you avoiding that?

As one of the few people who understand Pei Shi well, Yun Zhi's guess is correct.

But he didn't want to explain, nor did he need to let anyone know. It was already an accident that Yun Zhi saw him and Zhou Niantang in the hospital before.

Yun Zhi sighed and felt that this was a good idea.

She found that Pei Shi's mood had been off since she had asked him about him and Zhou Niantang in the office last time.

Therefore, someone in the secretariat even asked her if the boss had suffered a broken heart.

Yun Zhi just smiled and said she didn’t know, but what she was actually thinking was that it might be even worse than a broken heart.

But Pei Shi is the kind of person who basically won't reveal his true feelings, so he can only keep it in his heart and digest it by himself.

So it's okay to leave for a short period of time, maybe slowly, he will let it go.

Yun Zhi never asked Zhou Niantang about this because she saw that her life and work were normal and her mood had not changed, so she guessed that Pei Shi was just wishful thinking.

"Then take good care of yourself over there."

After giving a few instructions and seeing that Pei Shi didn't seem to want to talk, Yun Zhi shut up.

The narrow alley is still the same as it was back then, with no major changes. Some time ago, there were rumors that this place would be demolished soon, but there has been no definite news yet.

Before getting off the car, Yun Zhi took the supplements and pomelo leaves that she had prepared earlier.

After Pei Shi locked the car door, he came over and helped her get some.

"The supplements are for Aunt Liu. She took care of Xiaoqi for a long time, which allowed me to focus on my studies."

In recent years, Yunzhi would take time to visit Aunt Liu during every festival.

Pei Shi didn't comment, and the two of them went upstairs.

When Yun Zhi took out the key to open the door, the person next door heard the noise and came out.

"Xiao Zhi is back."

As soon as Aunt Liu opened the door, she noticed the handsome young man with extraordinary temperament standing next to Yun Zhi.

She thought he looked very familiar, and after thinking for a while, she realized, "Isn't this the boy you grew up with?"

Yun Zhi smiled and nodded: "You have a good memory, it's him, and he is still my boss now."

"That's really a promising young couple." Aunt Liu wanted to ask a few more questions, such as whether they were in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, but her arms were filled with gifts brought by Yun Zhi.

"Hey, you said you'd come back to visit, why do you always bring me food? I haven't finished eating the food from the Mid-Autumn Festival yet."

Aunt Liu scolded, but she actually felt a little embarrassed.

In the past few years, after Yunzhi started working, she would give her gifts every year to thank her for her help.

But she knew in her heart that although she had good intentions to help at the beginning, she ended up receiving subsidies from the girl for several years.

"Just keep it with peace of mind. These are nothing compared to the help you gave me before." Yun Zhi felt that compared to things that can be bought with money, favors are the most precious.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything. After chatting for a few minutes, she carried her things back to her room.

Yun Zhi and the others also entered the house. She took the things she brought to the bathroom, washed her face, and then asked Pei Shi to go in and wash as well.

She checked the house inside and out to see if there was any damage to the doors and windows.

Soon Pei Shi came out after taking a shower. The two of them didn't stay in the room for too long. They packed up their things and went out.

When the door was closing, Aunt Liu heard the noise and came out again.

She asked Yun Zhi: "The beautiful girl who often came to see you before, are you still in contact with her now?"

During the years that Yun Zhi lived here, the only person who came to visit her regularly was Zhou Niantang.

She looked at Pei Shi next to her and found that his expression had not changed.

"Yes, before we moved out, she lent us her house and we kept in close contact."

Yun Zhi was a little confused as to why Aunt Liu suddenly asked this, and her expression was strange.

Knowing that they were still in contact, Aunt Liu thought about it and decided to tell it.

"When you were in your third year of high school, that girl actually came to see me."

When Aunt Liu mentioned this, not only Yun Zhi, but also Pei Shi showed some confusion in their eyes.

"She asked me to keep it a secret, saying that you would be embarrassed if you knew it, but after so many years, I just thought about it and decided to let you know."

"She gave me 5,000 a month to help take care of your brother during the day. The money only stopped when you moved away."

When Aunt Liu spoke later, there was some shame in her tone.
