Chapter 18 Slowly
Pei Xin opened his palms and saw two jade plaques strung with red ropes. The patterns were very detailed and embossed with lotus flowers and auspicious clouds. It was obvious at a glance that they were auspicious objects.
He looked at it for a while, then looked at Li Wenyu with a half-smile: "Is it yours?"
Li Wenyu knew that this man had not made a good plan: "Could it be yours?" After saying that, he took it from his hand. Take it, but Pei Xin quickly closed his hands, and he only touched the other's warm fingers.
Li Wenyu quickly retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, and looked at him coldly: "What do you mean?"
Pei Xin laughed lowly: "What do you mean, I helped you get your things back, don't you say thank you to me?"
Li Wen Yu remained silent again.
So Pei Xin continued: "That guy just now is really your cousin, and he doesn't even look like him."
Li Wenyu was a man of exquisite craftsmanship at first glance. He couldn't tell whether he was sharp or delicate. Although he was cold, he was still handsome. It's always beautiful. That thing just now looked disgusting and was doing some sneaky things. The two of them didn't look like a family.
Li Wenyu closed his eyes and did not answer his words, and said concisely: "Give it back to me."
Pei Xin knew that asking this man to thank him would be harder than climbing to the sky, so he had to settle for the next best thing and smiled casually: "You Kiss me, and I'll return the favor."
Unexpectedly, Li Wenyu reacted even more, his reddish fox eyes widened, and he showed that mental expression again.
Pei Xin was dissatisfied by this familiar expression, and slowly suppressed his smile, regaining his cold and sharp face. I wanted to just throw the thing over and leave, but I thought it was a fragile object, so I stuffed it into someone's hand and said mockingly: "Who are you showing such a big reaction to? Do you think this is your first kiss?"
Li Wenyu's hand It was very cold, and there was still a little water stain left. Pei Xin squeezed it frivolously, but he could only pinch the bones wrapped in thin skin. Too thin.
The amulet was warm, and the red rope wrapped around it was also hot. Li Wenyu held it tightly in his hands, and his eyes were actually filled with moisture.
Pei Xin was startled. Apart from seeing Li Wenyu shed tears on the first night between the two of them, he almost refused to cry at other times. He thought of Ji He's unpleasant face, and felt an unknown fire burning in his heart, but he also felt that Li Wenyu was too worthless to be made to cry by such a person. After a long while, he said coldly: "Hey, tell me who bullies you in the future."
Li Wenyu slowly put the amulet into his pocket, and then sneered, with a very sarcastic tone: "Aren't you the one who bullies me the most? ?"
Pei Xin was not angry after hearing this, but raised his lips: "You're right, the only one who can bully you is me."
Li Wenyu sneered again: "Pei Xin, you said that. It will be one month in two days."
Li Wenyu tore up a handful of calendars he had saved when he went out this morning, and he counted the time minute by minute.
Pei Xin's words turned around in his mind before he realized what they meant. He half-squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I said, maybe a month, maybe two months."
He approached the side of Li Wenyu's face and lowered his head. He smiled ambiguously in his ears: "But don't forget, even if I change your mind and want you for the rest of your life, you can only surrender."
Li Wenyu raised his head and met a pair of ink-like pupils, with his hands in his pockets. Inside, I was holding the Buddha amulet in my hand. The warmth had long since dissipated, leaving only a creepy coldness.

The closer to the New Year's Day, the busier Li Teng's work became. First, he worked overtime for a few days until he went home at about the same time as Li Wenyu, and then he immediately announced a business trip.
In my impression, Li Teng had not traveled far away for work for a long time. Grandma was as worried as worrying about her child going to kindergarten. She was busy packing her luggage and preparing clothes suitable for the climate there. She gave her a lot of advice. In the end, Li Teng got really impatient and waved his hand to tell them not to give it away, and that she would come back as soon as possible.
When Li Wenyu heard this, he stood still at the door without saying anything. Standing next to him was Ji He who looked indifferent.
After what happened that day, Ji He never said a word to him again. When he went out and came home, he thought Li Wenyu was a transparent person. Fortunately, the relationship between the two was normal, so Li Teng and grandma didn't notice anything. Clues.
Li Teng's presence or absence does not affect Li Wenyu's life rhythm at all. It is still the three points and one line between school, game arcade, and home. However, grandma was not in good health after leaving Li Teng, and she caught a cold because she went out to buy groceries. Li Wenyu tried his best to go home as early as possible in the past few days to take care of her.
Business in the arcade is slow in winter, so it is natural for him to go home early, so the biggest obstacle is Pei Xin. In the past few days, Li Wenyu had been perfunctory with Pei Xin for a while on the pretext that his grandma was sick, but Pei Xin was not a fool, so he simply came to the game hall to block people.
The man was pretending to play with the game console before, but now he sat directly at the door, like a doorkeeper. However, his aura of keeping strangers away was really intimidating, so it was only natural that one person occupied the entire sofa set.
Li Wenyu was still writing papers while waiting to get off work. He was actually thinking about how to get out later. It was almost ten o'clock when he started cleaning. After sweeping the floor, he threw his packed schoolbag on the sofa at the door and went to the front desk to get the key and lock the door.
Pei Xin watched the whole process of his work in a leisurely manner, and finally his eyes fell on the schoolbag that was thrown on the sofa next to him. It's black and white, so it's not new. It has obviously been used for a while. It only contains a book of exercises and a few test papers. The only thing that can be considered unique is probably the blue bird pendant hanging on the side. Pei Xin squinted his eyes. He remembered that this place was bare two days ago.
Li Wenyu took the key and saw Pei Xin sitting there in a daze. He said angrily: "I can't leave."
Pei Xin blinked, picked up his schoolbag and walked out first.
Li Wenyu locked the door with his back to him. As soon as the door clicked, he heard the person behind him asking confusedly: "Where did this pendant on your schoolbag come from?"
Li Wenyu turned around and glanced at him: "I picked it up on the road."
Of course I didn't pick it up. After redeeming the points coupons for Yang Cheng that day, Yang Cheng thought the pendant looked pretty, so he asked Li Wenyu to redeem another one. Li Wenyu didn't ask any questions. When he gave the things to him the next day, Yang Cheng directly tied the pendant on Li Wenyu's schoolbag.
When Pei Xin heard this, he knew that this person was perfunctory with him again, so he turned around and left with his bag.
The weather is slowly getting warmer, the deep alleys are quiet at night, and the dark sky is shining with a little starlight, but the wind is still cold. The street lights flickered, and the shadows of dead branches and leaves in the flower bed also disappeared and appeared, creating a strange atmosphere in the silence between the two.
The further Pei Xin walked, the more chills he felt down his spine. He curled his lips and said, "How much money do you earn in a month doing this job? You get off work so late."
Li Wenyu walked behind him and said in a calm tone: "One million."
Pei Xin looked back. He smiled playfully: "I can buy you all for one million."
Li Wenyu didn't stop, and there was no expression on his face: "You can't buy it."
Pei Xin took his arm Pulling him into his arms, he gently touched the tip of the other person's ear with his chin, and pinched Li Wenyu's waist obscenely through his clothes: "Yes, I don't need a penny to buy you."
Li Wenyu's face After a moment of embarrassment, he gradually got used to Pei Xin's physical contact, and no longer had the nausea-inducing reaction at the beginning. In order not to irritate the other party and suffer some physical pain, I would also control myself not to use harsh words, but every time I hear such explicit and obscene language, I still can't help but feel sick to my stomach.
"You don't need to buy it, you can just grab it."
Pei Xin raised his eyebrows, placed a cold kiss on the side of his face, and landed on his ear with every breath: "I want to get you, whether I buy or rob, you can't run away."
