Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 71

When Pei Yi woke up, Duan Xinglian was coming out of the bathroom, his forehead hair was wet, and he was wiping it with a towel.

Recently, Duan Xinglian always leaves early and returns late. Pei Yi seldom sees him when he wakes up in the morning, but probably he woke up earlier today.

"Are you awake?" Duan Xinglian walked to the bed, glanced at him with a smile, and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

Hearing this, Pei Yi was stunned when he got up, he seemed to be dreaming again last night, but this time the touch between his lips was so real.

So much so that at this moment, when Pei Yi recalled it, he felt a little confused for a while.

But he saw that Duan Xinglian's expression was normal, he didn't seem to have anything, so he lowered his eyes to get rid of the wandering mind in the morning.

As he lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed, he replied, "It's okay."

Then he didn't say anything more.

Duan Xinglian paused, seemed to swallow some words back, and said: "That's good."

After Ying finished, Pei Yi went to the bathroom to wash up, while Duan Xinglian went to blow dry his hair.

When Pei Yi came out, Duan Xinglian was taking off his pajamas and changing clothes.

His eyes were on Duan Xinglian's slim waist, which was wide and narrow, and he quickly moved away.

Duan Xinglian then changed his pants, the suit pants wrapped his legs straight and long.

Pei Yi didn't want to look any further, and turned around to go out, but he didn't want to just walk to the door, but the person behind him opened his mouth.

"Which tie is better?"

Pei Yi had no choice but to turn around, walked into the cloakroom, and looked at the boxes of ties in the drawer.

Pei Yi basically wouldn't choose a difficult one, he glanced at the color of Duan Xinglian's suit, and quickly pointed to the dark blue one in the corner with his finger.

"This one."

"it is good."

Duan Xinglian picked up the tie and looked at Pei Yi.

Pei Yi felt his gaze: "?"

Duan Xinglian handed him the tie and asked, "Help me wear it."

Pei Yi raised his eyes and bumped into Duan Xinglian's eyes.

There was a lot of meaning in his eyes, Pei Yi's eyelashes flicked, he knew that Duan Xinglian was also trying to move forward step by step.

He could even feel that the line between the two was about to disappear.

Pei Yi took the tie over and said truthfully, "I'm not very good at it."

Duan Xinglian raised the corners of his lips: "Try."

That being the case, Pei Yi boldly followed suit.

He picked up the small end of the tie and passed it over the neckline of Duan Xinglian's shirt. After tidying it up carefully, he held the two ends with both hands and began to try to tie the knot.

He seldom wears formal clothes, and the last time he went to a banquet with Duan Xinglian, he also wore a bow tie, so he was really unskilled in how to tie a tie.

He managed to tie a knot, but it was crooked and irregular.

Pei Yi frowned, ready to tear it down and start over.

At the same time, slender fingers covered the back of his hand.

Pei Yi's eyes froze, feeling the boundless heat from the back of his hand, almost all the way into his blood.

Duan Xinglian didn't speak, but Pei Yi didn't withdraw his hand either.

Duan Xinglian held Pei Yi's hand like this, and taught him to tie a nice tie knot step by step.

After the beating, Duan Xinglian still didn't let go, instead he took Pei Yi's hand and looked at it carefully, but there was an obvious smile in his voice: "When you take the bottle and the condenser, you should Not so unskilled."

Pei Yi's gaze was half down, only falling on the beautiful knot of Duan Xinglian's neckline, and his voice was rarely jerky when he replied, "Well, it's different."

"Indeed." Duan Xinglian looked straight at him, looked at Pei Yi's slender eyelashes, pointed nose, and soft lips, and said, "Should you have such beautiful hands? It's only appropriate to hold the glass."

Duan Xinglian has never seen Pei Yi's appearance in the laboratory, but he thinks he is extremely focused and good-looking; this person usually does nothing, which is enough to make people uneasy, and it takes great perseverance to restrain himself. Dr. Pei in the movie is probably even more deadly at a glance.

All in all, Duan Xinglian thought, Pei Yi's hands are probably not as suitable for other things as holding the instruments and equipment in the laboratory.

He finally squeezed Pei Yi's fingertips, and suddenly said: "Bring me the food from Yanzilou at noon, just give me my name and pay the bill."

Pei Yi finally raised his eyes and looked at Duan Xinglian in front of him. The floor-to-ceiling mirror beside him reflected a pair of figures who were close at hand and seemed to be hugging each other.

Pei Yi couldn't help but said, "You dislike my cooking skills?"

"That counts as cooking?" Duan Xinglian said deliberately.

Sure enough, Pei Yi gave him an unhappy look.

Duan Xinglian laughed more and more heartily at this, he pushed his limits again, pinched Pei Yi's face, and said again: "Then I'll bother you to make a boiled shrimp by yourself, okay?"

Boil the shrimp in clean water for a few minutes, and then pick it up. Basically, you only need to turn on the fire, and there is no skill at all.

But Pei Yi looked down at the place where Duan Xinglian brushed with his fingertips just now, there was a red mark that had not faded from his accidental oil splash before.

Pei Yi blinked his eyelashes, knowing that Duan Xinglian was worried, his heart moved, he didn't say any more, and replied: "Yes."

Duan Xinglian finally let go of his hand, pushed his shoulder and walked out of the cloakroom.

This was the first time that Pei Yi got up in the morning to send him to the door, Duan Xinglian looked back at him, Pei Yi looked very comfortable in home clothes, so he couldn't help but blurted out with sincerity: "I don't even want to go to work anymore. "

His group of subordinates would probably be shocked if they heard the workaholic Duan always say such a sentence.

At this time, Pei Yi was standing not too close to him, keeping a distance where he would not impulsively raise his head to give a farewell kiss, and only replied: "Tomorrow will be Saturday."

Duan Xinglian smiled and nodded: "Well, see you at noon then."

"See you at noon."

After Duan Xinglian left, Pei Yiwo sat down on the sofa, flashing back to this morning from last night in his mind.

He really almost kissed her just now.

Just a little bit.so close.

Pei Yi sat there, unknowingly stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that it was going to be ten o'clock, so he quickly called Yanzilou to order food, and he decided to bring the meal back and change the bag Pretending, pretending to be a loving lunch made by myself, to confuse others and confuse myself by the way.

After all, culinary skills were too much of a failure.

Hey.

While Pei Yi was feeling emotional here, at the same time, Duan Xinglian, who was hurrying to process the documents in the office, suddenly heard a cell phone ring.

He looked at the caller, frowned slightly, and picked up the phone: "Why is Lawyer Fang calling me when you have time?"

"You have a lot of face, you are amazing." Fang Ai's voice came from the other end of the phone, "By the way, have you received the bamboo fungus I sent you earlier?"

Fang Ai has been doing free consultations for a period of time every year since she was a graduate student. Someone she helped before insisted on sending her some special products.

It was impossible for Fang Ai to cook by himself, and it would be a waste to leave things alone, so he donated them to Duan Xinglian, the only one among them who could cook.

"Accepted." Duan Xinglian laughed at this point, and inexplicably followed, "Pei Yi took it."

Duan Xinglian never shy away from them, and Fang Ai had already learned about their cohabitation from Shao Yu.

Fang Ai laughed when he heard the show off in his words, and scolded: "You son of a bitch, I'll show you off if you make a fool of yourself."

Duan Xinglian also smiled: "Are you envious?"

"roll."

Then the two exchanged a few words back and forth, and Fang Ai said again: "There is something, please listen."

Fang Ai usually wouldn't look for him, and if he did, he would probably have something serious to do, so Duan Xinglian became serious at this moment: "Yeah."

Fang Ai's voice was rare and solemn: "I took a case some time ago, and the defendant is... Bian Guangyang."

Duan Xinglian was startled when he heard the name, and immediately searched for the appearance of that person in his mind, his eyes turned cold, and he asked lightly: "He has come out?"

When Pei Yi had just left, Duan Xinglian couldn't bear the grief, so he often went to Huaiyue Bay, always wanting to see if the lights in that room would come on again.

It did light up later on, and Duan Xinglian couldn't tell what he was feeling at that time. In short, he went to ring the doorbell of that house like crazy, but the voice inside the house was a stranger's voice.

The person over there said that this was their newly bought house, and he had identified the wrong person.

Duan Xinglian apologized hastily, went back and fell ill, and never went to Huaiyue Bay since then.

But before that, Duan Xinglian had seen Bian Guangyang many times in Huaiyue Bay.

Every time he was like a poisonous snake, lurking downstairs in Pei Yi's unit. Every time he saw a person coming out of the unit, his eyes always showed greedy light, because he tried to follow him and had many quarrels with the people in the unit.

Later, Duan Xinglian saw Bian Guangyang arguing with Uncle Zhou, the security guard of Peiyi Community. It seemed that it was at that time that Bian Guangyang learned from Uncle Zhou that their mother and son had left.

Duan Xinglian still remembers the look in Bian Guangyang's eyes at that time, regret, resentment, resentment, like a rotten tree losing its last hope.

It was only then that Duan Xinglian understood that Pei Yi and Auntie Pei, besides him, had too many reasons to leave. This kind of person who is like a gangrene cannot be removed, but can only be kept away.

But Duan Xinglian was young at the time and couldn't accept the fact that Pei Yi had left, so he could only pour his anger on Bian Guangyang.

Until one time, Duan Xinglian accidentally heard something from Lin Siwei's uncle who worked in the Lanhui District Public Security Bureau—Pei Yi had reported to the police before, saying that Bian Guangyang was following him, and the time of calling the police was at the beginning of the year night of the 4th.

Duan Xinglian fell into an ice cave at that time, and instantly recalled what was wrong with Pei Yi at that time, and Pei Yi obviously did not go home or return to the dormitory that night, but reported to himself that he was safe, and Pei Yi's ID card was in the Here himself, so where did he go that night?

With Pei Yi's character, he won't go anywhere.

As long as Duan Xinglian thought of this possibility at that time, he would involuntarily complete Pei Yi's appearance in the police station, walking alone in the cold wind, his heart was always throbbing with pain, holding his breath All uncomfortable.

Duan Xinglian knew that he did not do well enough to deserve Pei Yi's trust, even if he made up for it afterwards, it would not help.But he still made it up.

Not long afterward, Bian Guangyang, perhaps under the pressure of debt collection, put his mind on the allocation of funds for the attached middle school.

As a result, the matter was revealed, and Bian Guangyang was sentenced to six years in prison for the crime of embezzlement.

"Well." Fang Ai knew when Duan Xinglian was involved in this matter. Duan Xinglian didn't actually do anything, but let the punishment that could have been escaped be executed reasonably.

And after Fang Ai learned about the general situation, he was also angry for a long time, so he immediately notified Duan Xinglian as soon as there was news: "It has been two years since he came out, and he has a criminal record, so it is definitely impossible for him to be a teacher again. Almost, he has no other skills, and he is not willing to endure hardships. After he came out, he was addicted to smoking, drinking and all kinds of vices. Under poverty, he collaborated with other people to commit fraud to maintain his source of income, and now he has finally been arrested."

Duan Xinglian listened quietly, and at the end, he didn't care about other things, he just confirmed: "Will you enter the palace for the second time?"

The case was almost done, and Duan Xinglian was not considered a relevant person. Fang Ai replied, "Basically yes. In terms of sentencing, the amount is huge, possibly more than ten years."

Just as he finished speaking, at the same time, the WeChat icon on his computer flickered, and when he clicked on it, it was Pei Yi who was telling him that he was downstairs.

Duan Xinglian looked at Pei Yi's profile picture, spoke again, and said to Fang Ai, "Thank you for your hard work."

Fang Ai heard the words over there, but he didn't appreciate it: "A hundred causes must bear fruit, he deserves it."

"Don't tell Pei Yi." Duan Xinglian was silent for a while, and finally said, "Just pretend that person disappeared."

Fang Ai also wanted to ask about this when he called, and when he heard this, he agreed: "Okay."

Having said that, the two ended the call.

Duan Xinglian leaned back in the chair, feeling relaxed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, the door of the office was opened, and Pei Yi appeared by the door.

As soon as Pei Yi came in, Duan Xinglian looked at him, his eyes were straight and serious, which made Pei Yi startled: "What's wrong?"

But Duan Xinglian suddenly got up, walked towards him in two or three steps, and then pulled him into his arms.

Pei Yi froze, and didn't dare to move the hand holding the lunch box, but in the end, Duan Xinglian smiled in his ear, and sighed, saying something that should have been said long ago after the reunion after a long absence: "No, it's just a little miss you."
