Chapter 70

Li Wenyu originally wanted to go back to Nanwang Lane with Li Teng for a visit, but it was too late and he was worried about Pei Xin, so he took a taxi directly back to Huayi Road after leaving the restaurant.

Ever since he returned to City A, he seemed to be in an unreal trance, and now he was even more confused after entering the elevator. He never thought that one day he would take the initiative to return to Pei Xin's home. Although it was not voluntary, it still made him feel extremely absurd.

He stiffly entered the password and pushed open the apartment door. The ceiling light was rarely turned on in the living room, which was very bright. He lowered his head to get his slippers, and then saw a big white cotton-like thing slowly coming into view.

Li Wenyu stared at the ball of white cotton with big eyes and small eyes for a long time, and hesitated: "Xiaobai?"

The little white dog walked towards him, sniffing the scent on his body while spinning around, and finally barked suddenly.

Li Wenyu knelt down and touched its head, but before he could put his hand on it, it turned around and walked away again.

Li Wenyu watched Xiaobai slowly get in through the gap in the second bedroom door, but his posture was a bit strange and shaky when he walked. He felt strange, so he leaned over and changed his slippers first, and then followed him.

There is no study room in this apartment. Pei Xin is sitting at the desk working. The light and shadow are quiet. From this angle, only his extremely indifferent profile can be seen. The window was half open, but there was still a lingering smell of tobacco in the air. Xiaobai squatted at his feet and rubbed his trouser legs. Pei Xin remained unmoved and typed on the keyboard without even lowering his head.

Li Wenyu originally opened the door a little and planned to close it quietly.

But Pei Xin suddenly said: "Why are you back so late?"

He did not turn around. Li Wenyu's footsteps just now were also very light. He couldn't help but suspect that Pei Xin had eyes on the back of his head. He looked down at the time and said: " It's only around nine o'clock."

Pei Xin typed the message one last time and stood up from the desk: "I'll be back before seven o'clock."

Li Wenyu took back his hand on the doorknob and ignored his voice. A very strong and unreasonable request: "Is this puppy the one from Nanwang Lane before? It looks similar."

Pei Xin walked towards this direction, and the light in the room moved accordingly. Xiao Bai also waggled his tail behind him, but he was just walking. The posture is a bit limping.

Li Wenyu frowned: "What happened to its legs?"

Pei Xin lowered his head and glanced at Xiaobai: "It was a car accident."

"A car accident?" Li Wenyu looked up in surprise, "Where did you bring it back? "

Pei Xin walked up to him and suddenly bent down and took his hand. Li Wenyu instinctively opened his eyes and retracted his hand like an electric shock, but Pei Xin held it firmly.

Pei Xin made no other moves and took him out. His voice was very low: "On the street at the entrance of Nanwang Alley, his leg was already injured. The doctor said it might be man-made, or it might be caused by a car. I bumped into him accidentally."

Li Wenyu was brought to the sofa by Pei Xin, so Xiaobai squatted lazily between the two of them.

Li Wenyu couldn't tell the age of the puppy, but he felt that it now had bright coat and round black eyes, and looked much healthier than when it was wandering around in Nanwang Lane five years ago.

He was a little worried: "When did it happen? Can it still be cured?"

Pei Xin hooked his hand at Xiaobai, and Xiaobai moved to his feet and looked up at him. Pei Xin picked it up and treated it like a reward. Mao looked straight at Li Wenyu: "Do you want to hug it?"

Li Wenyu paused and stretched out his hand blankly.

Xiaobai is a small dog. It looks chubby because of its long and fluffy hair. It is not heavy in the hand.

Li Wenyu raised his hand and touched its head twice. Xiaobai had a docile personality and naturally lay down on his lap. Only then did Li Wenyu find the opportunity to look at the wounds on its hind legs. He pushed aside the white hair and saw a large scar. He could imagine how hideous it would be before it healed. But it was obviously an old injury. When Li Wenyu touched it, Xiaobai didn't react with any struggle and stared at him with his eyes.

Li Wenyu shook its front paws, curled his lips, and said in a low voice: "Xiaobai, long time no see."

Xiaobai rolled over.

Li Wenyu stared at it for a while, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at Pei Xin: "What's its name now?"

Pei Xin leaned on the sofa and his eyes fell on him: "It's called Xiaobai."

Li Wenyu He was stunned for a moment, no wonder he reacted when he just called Xiaobai: "Why don't you give it a nicer name?"

Pei Xin lowered his head slightly, the smell of cigarette smoke on his body was cold and beautiful, but the person who answered was the one before The ignored question was answered in a calm tone: "Two months after you, I saw it huddled next to the trash can in Nanwang Lane. It was dirty, ugly, injured, and its leg was almost broken. Then I took it away. After arriving at the hospital, I stayed in the hospital for a long time. There was no response when I talked to it, but Xiaobai could still blink."

Li Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable and put his hand on Xiaobai's neck and patted it twice.

"It's quite pitiful, isn't it?" Pei Xin said.

The voice was very soft. Li Wenyu seemed to have not heard it clearly, and seemed to think that the words were not something Pei Xin would say. He raised his eyes in confusion: "What?"

Pei Xin's eyes fell on Li from a distance. The entrance behind Wen Yu was a little erratic, and he was obviously distracted.

Li Wenyu rarely saw Pei Xin distracted, so he was also startled and said hesitantly: "Pei Xin, what did you just say?"

Pei Xin raised his eyelids and returned his gaze to Li Wenyu's face in a normal way, his eyes It was so severe that it made one's heart palpitate, but his tone was very vague: "After you left, grandma became ill, and Xiaobai also became ill. We are not very well."

Li Wenyu's movements were stagnant, but he did not speak.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment. After a long time, Xiaobai had enough of lying in his arms, so he turned over and stood up and jumped off the sofa.

Li Wenyu did not lower his head, but subconsciously reached out to touch it in vain when it stood up.

His throat rolled, and he looked at Pei Xin and said, "Your injury was torn again yesterday. Has it been re-bandaged?"

Pei Xin agreed, with no expression on his face: "It has been taken care of."

The balcony door was not completely closed . After closing it, a gust of night wind blew by, and the curtains swept, amplifying the sound of the wind many times.

Li Wenyu nodded slowly: "Then I'll take a shower first."

Xiaobai had already returned to the kennel and was lying in it very comfortably, but his eyes were still wide open and staring outside, not knowing what he was thinking. .

Li Wenyu returned to the bedroom and saw that the clothes in his suitcase had been hung neatly in the closet. It's not much, but it still occupies a small half, and it looks very out of place in a wardrobe full of designer suits.

He found his usual pajamas and entered the bathroom.
