Li Teng invited them to sit down and smiled politely at Pei Xin: "I don't know what you like to eat, Xiao Pei. Most of the dishes you make are Xiao Yu's favorites. You can try them and see if they suit your taste." "
Pei Xin sat next to Li Wenyu and curled his lips: "Xiao Yu and I have similar tastes. It's hard work for Auntie to cook so many dishes." Li Teng waved his hand and said, "Why is it so hard for her and Pei
to cook?"
Xin met Xin at least four or five times in the past few years. He only had bank card transactions, so he was not a familiar person. He could only look at Li Wenyu and told him: "Xiao Yu, take good care of Xiao Pei and pick up more food for others."
Li Wenyu The hand holding the chopsticks paused and said hello.
Li Teng and Pei Xin were chatting, and Ji Chenggang was attentive and exchanged a few words. Li Wenyu was busy eating by himself, occasionally adding vegetables to Pei Xin's bowl as if he had completed his task.
As he picked up the food, he realized that during the time he was living in the apartment, he seemed to have memorized Pei Xin's favorite dishes from the taste of his aunt's cooking.
For the first time, he discovered that Pei Xin also sounded nice when he spoke, he was relaxed and relaxed, and he could advance and retreat appropriately. People like Li Teng who usually don't like chatting with others when playing cards were led to talk a lot, and the smile never left his face.
After the meal, they sat on the sofa and drank tea. Li Wenyu felt a little bored, so he stood up and stood on the balcony to breathe.
The street lights downstairs were dim, the lights of the buildings opposite were on sparsely, and the sound of cicadas was mingled with the sound of the wind.
Li Wenyu heard the footsteps and turned around to see Ji He standing behind him, his brows darkening slightly.
The balcony door was narrow, and standing there, Ji He blocked most of the view of the living room. When he opened his mouth, he spoke in a sinister tone: "Why didn't you reply to me when I sent you a message?"
Li Wenyu said with confusion written on his face: " Have you ever sent me anything other than asking for money? Why should I reply to you?"
Ji He's face was so thin that it became more obvious when he gritted his teeth: "We are a family."
Li Wenyu said casually: "Oh. , and then?"
Ji He suppressed his voice, but his expression was already distorted with excitement: "I'm not as big as a lion, right? Grandma's monthly medical expenses are five figures, and I only need tens of thousands of dollars for emergency response! Are you going to die like this?"
Li Wenyu sighed and said seriously: "I really don't have any money. If you really encounter something, you can tell us and we will solve it together, and my aunt will not ignore you. "No money... "
Ji He said with a sullen face, "Who are you lying to?" His
attitude made Li Wenyu completely lose his patience in talking, and walked to the exit blocked by him: "Get out of the way."
Blocking the road without giving in, he gritted his teeth and said every word: "Li Wenyu, don't push me too hard."
Li Wenyu didn't even understand where he was pushing him, but he was also offended by these words. He couldn't help but sneer, and Li Teng's voice suddenly came from the living room: "Ji He, what are you standing there for?"
Ji He's face became even more irritated, but he could only loosen his grip on the door frame. hand, turned around and walked inward.
Li Wenyu also calmed down and saw that Pei Xin had stood up from the sofa.
Li Teng looked at Ji He's earth-colored face and suddenly became angry and scolded him in a low voice: "You don't play games all day long, and you stay up late smoking until you are no longer human. Who wouldn't be shocked to see this?" ?"
Li Wenyu frowned slightly and looked at Ji He's deafening figure, and then heard Pei Xin's smiling voice: "Auntie, let's leave today."
Li Teng nodded and said with a smile, "Come back when you have time . Auntie, let's eat here." After saying that, he waved to Li Wenyu, "Xiao Yu, why don't you sleep at home today and move back here tomorrow? You still have your room."
Li Wenyu glanced at the person sitting there . Ji Chenggang's face on the sofa did not change, and he shook his head gently: "My work place is too far away from here, and it may be inconvenient to go to work, so I won't move back here yet."
Li Teng nodded and said nothing else. : "Then be careful on the road and drive slower at night."
"Okay."
The night wind was very cool. After getting in the car, Li Wenyu rolled down half of the window and the wind poured in from the outside.
Pei Xin's hand was holding the steering wheel. When he turned his head, he could tell that something was wrong with his mood: "What did Ji He tell you?"
Li Wenyu leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked at the retreating black trees outside the window, as if thinking. What, his hair was blown up and messy, and his eyes were shining brightly under the warm lamp. There was an indescribable cuteness. He spoke slowly: "No."
Pei Xin quietly pulled the corners of his lips and spoke. Casually: "Why aren't you happy going home?"
After a while, he heard Li Wenyu's voice that became erratic in the wind: "It's not something worth being happy about in the first place."
Pei Xin slowed down a little, Turning around, I saw Li Wenyu's slightly tired face. Occasionally, he seemed to be asleep when he closed his eyes, with his lips pursed slightly.
Pei Xin's eyebrows were deep, but his voice was soft: "Then I won't come back."
Li Wenyu seemed to smile, but didn't say anything. He was a little cold from the wind, so he closed the car window.

City A has entered the real midsummer after the rainy season. The sun is scorching the earth. During the day, almost no one wants to go out unless they have to. Heat waves hit one after another, and the streetscape in the distance is a little blurred by the steam.
On Thursday, after having lunch with her grandmother in the hospital, Li Wenyu received a call from the interviewing company and set a time to join the company.
When grandma heard that he had found a job, she was already going to take a nap. She sat up and gave him a few serious words to tell him to take a rest and not to be too tired.
Li Wenyu helped her lie down with a smile: "I haven't even started working yet. It's too early for you to worry now, grandma."
After grandma fell asleep, Li Wenyu came out of the inpatient department and remembered that he had invited Yang Cheng to dinner. After thinking about the apology, I finally found Yang Cheng’s WeChat account and sent a message.
【Do you have time in the evening? Have dinner together? 】
Yang Cheng was probably busy, and it wasn’t until after two o’clock in the afternoon that he replied that he had time.
Li Wenyu booked a restaurant online and sent the location.
After the weather got hotter, Xiaobai wasn't as lively as before. He lay on the floor and stuck out his tongue, and his breathing was much louder than usual, but his enthusiasm for pestering people to take him out to play every day will not change.
Li Wenyu is also really afraid of heat, so he usually waits until the sun goes down or after dinner before going out.
After sitting on the sofa and staring at Xiaobai for a while, Li Wenyu decided to send Pei Xinye a WeChat message. Otherwise, if he made another surprise attack at night, he might not be able to finish his apology.
He typed in the chat box of his cell phone for a long time, and finally sent a sentence.
[I’ll come back later tonight if I have something to do, so you don’t have to wait for me to have dinner. ]
Not long after this message was sent, Pei Xin called directly.
Pei Xin always spoke straight to the point, and the more concise the words, the more coercive he meant: "Where are you going tonight?"
Xiaobai immediately came up to him when he heard the familiar voice on the phone. Li Wenyu had no choice but to rub its head and stand up: "Go up. I said I wanted to invite Yang Cheng to dinner."
Pei Xin said in a bad tone, "I also said there will be no next time."
It was when the sun was at its strongest. Li Wenyu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and simply closed the two curtains. His voice was calm and said, "I will go even if you don't agree."
Pei Xin was silent for a while on the other end. There was a little noise, and then he spoke again, his tone still very unhappy: "Let Uncle Zheng see you off and come back before eight o'clock."
