Chapter 86:

Ji He's eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them open, and he made two "Uh-huh" sounds in his throat.

Pei Yan tore off the tape on his face. Ji He's facial muscles were numb, but he could still see the panic, and his voice was broken: "Pei...Mr. Pei, I don't, I don't owe them as much money as they said!"

Pei Yan said in a broken voice. Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded: "You don't owe that much money, but how do you calculate the things you took from me?"

He crushed his leather shoes hard on Ji He's hand, and said in a calm voice: "Why don't you just do it? Use this hand to pay?"

Li Wenyu went downstairs only after the sun had completely set. The restaurant he booked was in a nearby shopping mall, and it was completely unnecessary to bother Uncle Zheng to see him off. However, Pei Xinneng's step surprised Li Wenyu, so he did not refuse.

It was just after six o'clock when Yang Cheng arrived at the restaurant. He was rarely wearing formal clothes, but he had taken off his coat and put it on his arms, and his tie was slightly loose. He looked a little rushed.

Li Wenyu saw him walking over and asked with a smile: "Are you busy lately?"

Yang Cheng sat down and touched the back of his head a little embarrassedly: "The studio has just started, so it's a bit difficult. How about you?"

"I've been Not bad." Li Wenyu handed over the menu, "Take a look at what you want to eat."

The two of them ordered a few special dishes on the recommendation of the waiter. Li Wenyu poured a glass of water, raised his head and smiled at Yang Cheng. : "I'm really sorry for messing up your lunch last time at your house."

Yang Cheng was reading the text message that just came in. Hearing this, he put his phone on the dining table: "It's okay, nothing happened to you that day. ?"

Li Wenyu shook his head: "No, you don't have to worry."

Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Are you and Pei Xin still together?"

Li Wenyu knew that he would ask this, but for a moment he didn't know why. answer. No matter what, it was impossible to tell the truth about what happened between him and Pei Xin to others, but if he denied it, it would be unreasonable to explain why Pei Xin took him away from Yang Cheng's home.

He thought for two seconds, and then he hummed. He looked up and saw that Yang Cheng's face was obviously sinking, and subconsciously added: "Pei Xin is fine."

Yang Cheng looked at him hesitantly.

Li Wenyu had no choice but to change the topic and talk about Yang Cheng's game studio. Yang Cheng has been busy soliciting investment recently, and the studio is not yet fully staffed, but the others are all his roommates and classmates in college, so they work well together and the pressure is not that great.

After dinner, it was almost half past seven when Li Wenyu returned to the apartment.

He opened the door and heard some noisy sound. The TV was on in the living room.

Pei Xin was sitting on the sofa. When he heard the sound behind him, he lowered his head and glanced at the time before glancing at the door without saying anything.

Xiaobai didn't go out all day. He whined and circled around Li Wenyu without wagging his tail. He was full of complaints.

Li Wenyu looked at it, couldn't help but smile, and walked towards the sofa: "Why don't you take it out for a spin?" Pei

Xin glanced at Xiaobai lightly: "It just wants to go out with you."

Wen Yu was a little surprised and lowered his body to look into Xiao Bai's eyes, as if asking for proof. However, no matter how smart Xiao Bai was, he couldn't really speak and could only continue to hum and circle.

Li Wenyu thought it was still early, so he simply took it down for a walk and then came back, so he started looking for a traction rope.

He glanced across the coffee table and saw two glasses of water in front of Pei Xin, with a little heat still on the glasses.

Li Wenyu didn't look too long. He found the traction rope next to the feeder and asked casually: "You are so busy at work, who used to take care of Xiaobai?"

Pei Xin took the remote control to turn off the TV, and the living room instantly returned to silence: " My aunt used to take it out for a walk every day."

Li Wenyu put Xiaobai's neck around and calmed down his resentful mood with a smile. When he stood up, he found that Pei Xin had also stood up at some point.

The balcony door was open, and the wind blew in. Li Wenyu smelled a little alcohol from him. But Pei Xin looked normal and not drunk at all.

Li Wenyu didn't care, and just asked: "Are you going too?"

Pei Xin hummed.

The park is quieter at night, with almost no sound except the chirping of cicadas and the sound of water flowing.

The neon lights of the building opposite are reflected on the lake, flowing and sparkling.

Xiaobai started to have fun as soon as he went out, but he was controlled by others. Even if he tried his best to run forward, Li Wenyu remained unmoved and slowly led him.

He was walking on the inside leaning on the railing. When he didn't raise his eyes, his left view was almost completely blocked by Pei Xin. He could only see a large white jasmine tree at the other end.

The flower smelled fine during the day, but when the cool breeze blew it at night, the fragrance was extremely fragrant. Li Wenyu blocked his nose with his sleeve and turned his head so that the entire lower half of his face was invisible.

Pei Xin glanced sideways at him: "What did you say to Yang Cheng last night?"

His tone was calm, without the coercion and sharpness he had every time he mentioned Yang Cheng before.

Li Wenyu's eyes fell aimlessly on the lake in the distance. His nose felt uncomfortable, and his voice was a bit muffled: "I didn't say anything, just explained what happened last time."

Fortunately, the two of them quickly He turned a corner and walked towards another path. The strong fragrance of jasmine was washed away by the wind, and Pei Xin's voice also floated: "How do you explain it?"

Li Wenyu blinked slowly and did not speak for a moment, but paused in his steps. .

Xiaobai burrowed into the bushes nearby, and the leash circled around the complicated branches and leaves, and got stuck. Pei Xin took the rope from Li Wenyu's hand, wound it out of it, and handed it back to him: "What, can't you tell me?"

Li Wenyu took it a little absent-mindedly and looked at the shadows of the trees at his feet. Lu, his tone was calm: "You can guess how I explained it."

Li Wenyu sighed, trying to understand why Pei Xin agreed so easily to meet with Yang Cheng today.

He had almost no other way to explain what happened at Yang Cheng's house that day except that he and Pei Xin were still together, and of course Pei Xin could think of it.

Pei Xin twitched his lips, and the two walked out of the forest path and approached the lake shore. A large swath of moonlight shone down, a small part fell at the feet, and a large part rippled with the water.

Li Wenyu lowered his head and slowly wrapped the leash twice in his hand: "I have found a job. It is not convenient to live here. I want to move out."

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows and said humbly. : "Where to move?"

Li Wenyu glanced at him in surprise, and the two of them looked at each other unexpectedly. Pei Xin's dark eyes glowed with clarity in the moonlight. The cuffs of his shirt were rolled up, revealing a stretch of pure and strong arms with bulging veins like green undulating mountains.

Li Wenyu turned his head again and saw the vague outline of the building in the distance at night. His tone was a bit perfunctory and he replied casually: "I don't know yet."

Pei Xin didn't say anything, but suddenly stretched out his hand towards him.

Li Wenyu thought he was going to hold Xiao Bai, so he subconsciously handed the rope out.
