Chapter 16 After Zheyu

walked out of the smoky room, Li Wenyu took a deep breath, entered the elevator, and leaned against the wall with all his strength relieved. The elevator buttons flickered down, and Li Wenyu's cell phone vibrated.

He guessed that Li Teng might be asking him about the time he would go home. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and looked at it. However, the content on the screen was not what he expected. Pei Xin's text messaging style is always concise, and this time there are only four words, "Wait for me downstairs."

Li Wenyu frowned and typed: Didn't you agree to let me go home?

After replying to the text message, the elevator door just opened. Before he had time to put his phone away again, Pei Xin's text message came again: I don't want to threaten you all the time, just be obedient.

Li Wenyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Every move he made was threatened by someone, otherwise he would have been wandering out in the middle of the night because of a mental problem. And the instigator of all this still said such words in a high-sounding way.

When Pei Xin came down, Li Wenyu was standing under a magnolia tree in front of the unit building, rubbing his hands and breathing in the cold.

Pei Xin's footsteps were not light. When Li Wenyu heard the sound, he immediately stopped warming himself. When he turned his head, his eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost: "Is there anything you can't say in a text message?"

Pei Xin was attracted by him. The speed of his face change amused me, and he unzipped his coat while continuing to walk: "It's so late, how can you go home?"

"Why can't I go home without..." Li Wenyu hadn't finished speaking. His face was covered by a coat that was suddenly thrown over. He became even more angry for a while. He yanked off his clothes randomly to regain his sight, "You must be sick!"

Pei Xin nodded and smiled indifferently: "Put on your clothes and I'll take you back."

Li Wenyu felt that this person was so unstable that he was on the verge of schizophrenia. One second he was gloomy and indifferent, and the next second he was laughing so harmlessly. From these days of contact, Li Wenyu finally came to the conclusion that the only way not to offend this person was to go along with it.

He endured his anger and casually put his coat on his body: "Can you go?"

Liao Chuo was a pedestrian on the street near twelve o'clock. Occasionally, people passed by alone and in a hurry. No one would notice that they were walking by the roadside. The two people were in a stalemate.

Pei Xin caused a gust of wind when he parked in front of Li Wenyu on a black motorcycle. He half-hunched over and tilted his head to signal him to put on his helmet.

Li Wenyu stood up straight in disbelief and glanced at him up and down: "You said you would send me back like this?"

Pei Xin simply threw his helmet into his arms: "Otherwise, the driver has already left. I I didn't plan to let you go back tonight."

Li Wenyu wanted to go home, but he absolutely didn't want to go home in such a close relationship with Pei Xin. He looked around vaguely before speaking: "I can just take a taxi myself, I don't need you to take me there."

Pei Xin frowned, his hands still holding the handles, his posture was casual, but he looked a bit aggressive for no reason: "There are no taxis here, you If you don't want to go home, come upstairs with me."

Li Wenyu felt the familiar tone of refusal and understood that he could no longer escape, so he put on his helmet in compromise. The sound of wind in his ears was blocked out. He lifted his legs and climbed onto the motorcycle, but did not put it on Pei Xin's back. He placed his left hand between the two of them.

Pei Xin clicked his tongue in displeasure, pulled out his hand, pulled the arm between the two of them and put it on his waist, and started the car at the same time. Before Li Wenyu had time to react, the wind whistled in his ears through the helmet again, and his whole body leaned forward and pressed against Pei Xin's back due to inertia.

Pei Xin's coat was still on Li Wenyu, and he only had a hooded sweatshirt that was not too thick. Li Wenyu even felt a little warmth when he leaned closer. However, this bit of warmth made Li Wenyu pull away at the touch. He sat upright stiffly and quickly retracted the hand that was pulled towards him.

After several trips back and forth, Li Wenyu almost knew this section of the road, and the locations of several turns matched his memory. Pei Xin made no more unnecessary moves and looked straight ahead, concentrating. Li Wenyu also slowly relaxed and couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

After a long while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, raised his eyes and asked, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Pei Xin was amused by his too slow reflex arc: "Isn't it a little late for you to ask now, thief?" The boats are all aboard. "

Pirate boats, this means they are driving without a license." Li Wenyu silently put his hand on Pei Xin's back, making a steady but resisting movement.

When Pei Xin noticed it, he just sneered and said something irrelevant: "You should stay away from Ying Wei when you see him in the future."

Li Wenyu sneered: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know him at all."

Pei Xin is rare . He choked for a moment and then said, "He's not a good person anyway, remember."

Li Wenyu sneered even more: "The worst person I've ever seen is right here."

"Okay." Pei Xin hooked up. He curled his lips and accepted this evaluation calmly.

Li Wenyu was used to his shamelessness and didn't speak anymore.

Pei Xin drove very fast and arrived at the entrance of Nanwang Lane in only ten minutes. A road sign was placed at the originally empty intersection with the words "under maintenance" written on it.

It was as if he had dozed off and someone immediately gave him a pillow. Li Wenyu couldn't wait to get out of the car, took off his helmet and put it on the back seat. After taking a few steps, he came back and took off the coat draped over his shoulders and threw it back to Pei Xin.

He threw it casually, but Pei Xin was sitting in the car and leaned over to catch it firmly, with an unknown smile appearing on his face. He simply got out of the car and put on his clothes while following Li Wenyu, who had turned and walked into the alley.

Of course, Li Wenyu could hear that he was following behind him, but he ignored it. The alley was very dark, and he had to half-squint his eyes to see the road. Fortunately, he was so familiar with this alley that he could basically walk in the dark.

"Ouch--" A somewhat tragic cry rang out in the narrow alley, which was so silent that only the sound of footsteps could be heard. Li Wenyu thought it was familiar. When he turned around, he saw Pei Xin standing stiffly on the spot, looking a little at a loss in the darkness.

Looking further down, there was a gray short-haired dog huddled at his feet. The puppy must have been stepped on by someone's tail. It screamed and huddled in the corner in fright.

"Don't you look at the road when you walk?" Li Wenyu frowned and walked over. This was the stray dog ​​he had fed. It was probably hiding in the corner of the alley in the middle of the night to keep out the wind.

"Damn it," Pei Xin cursed, feeling that he was wronged and justified, "How did I know you had a dog?"

Li Wenyu knelt down and touched the puppy's head. The dog was as docile as usual. to rub against his trouser legs. Li Wenyu checked and found no wounds, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey," Pei Xin rolled up his sleeves and squatted down slowly, "Is he okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It should be fine," Li Wenyu replied.

"I just said you don't blame me." Pei Xin seemed to be relieved. Li Wenyu raised his eyes when he heard the words, and actually saw a trace of unnoticeable guilt on his face.

Pei Xin didn't notice his gaze, stretched out his hand and nodded the little white dog's head, and said: "Poor."

Li Wenyu was startled for a moment, this kind of person actually has sympathy. However, he didn't feel impressed, and was even more disgusted and confused. Pei Xin is not without morals and personality. He has also received education and has the ability to think like a normal person, and has compassion and love, but he has not given any of it to others.

This person will blame himself and feel guilty for stepping on a stray dog ​​on the roadside, but he will not feel regret for tearing up a person's originally peaceful life.

Mental illness.
