C100 You and Me
"I beg you, you can definitely do it right... Yichen, I beg you... bring my child back and return it to me, okay... I beg you..."
Zhang Wen knelt in front of Pei Yichen and sobbed silently. She looked like she was about to collapse. She had been enduring for so many years, but in the end, she still defeated this woman at this moment.
"Auntie, I..."
"Don't reject me, Pei Yichen. If you don't help me, I might really die. I beg you, please help me, please help me..."
Zhang Wen almost fainted from crying. To her, this was her only wish right now.
Pei Yichen pursed his lips and finally nodded in agreement. To him, although this matter was somewhat difficult, it wasn't impossible. "Aunt, get up first. I promise you that I will definitely do it."
Zhang Wen let out a sigh of relief after getting Pei Yichen's confirmation. If possible, she wanted to personally pick up her child to go home, but she did not have the ability. All these years, she had been playing the role of a good wife and a good mother. She did not have the ability to do anything else.
Even now, she couldn't do anything but be sad.
She blamed herself, despaired, guilty, not even angry. All these years, she had been ruined by a man called Pei Jianye...
After Zhang Wen gradually calmed down, Pei Sizhu accompanied her to the hospital. Pei Yuanfan, on the other hand, followed Pei Shijie to take care of her.
In the entire Pei Village Garden, the servants had already been arranged to leave in advance. The few people whom they trusted had also gone to do what they had to do. It was empty except for Pei Yichen.
In the past, he had faced such a dark night and such loneliness. He could not care less, but today, for some reason, he felt a little sad.
The things he had been trying so hard to pursue seemed to have become completely unimportant. He kept asking himself whether he was right or wrong, but there was no standard answer.
The lights were switched off one after another, and the huge manor fell into darkness. Unknowingly, he had walked into the courtyard alone and blended into the darkness.
Between heaven and earth, people always seemed extremely tiny.
Pei Yichen looked at everything in the dark. His heart gradually turned cold.
He had long since gotten used to the darkness and coldness. Now, he had only returned to the scene he was most familiar with. Why was it so uncomfortable?
Suddenly, a window lit up in the darkness. On this moonless night, it was exceptionally warm.
Pei Yichen looked up at the window with a smile on his face.
No, he's not alone!
Five years ago, there was summer. Five years later, there was Ning Xia. He was lucky. There were always people accompanying him in this kind of silence.
Pei Yichen took a deep breath and walked upstairs.
Ning Xia took a shower and sat quietly on the bed in her pajamas. Her peaceful face was like a wife who had been waiting for her husband's return countless times. It only took a moment for her to warm Pei Yichen's heart.
Ning Xia saw him open the door and looked over. She met his ink-black eyes and revealed a sweet smile. "You're back. Are you hungry? Why don't you take a bath first and I'll make you a bowl of noodles?"
When she realized that the entire manor had fallen into darkness, she realized that Pei Yichen might not be in a good mood. She quickly turned on the lights and wanted to tell him that she had been there all along.
Even if the whole world was dark, she would do the light that illuminated him.
Pei Yichen saw her smile and instantly felt that all the haze from before was no longer important. As long as he had this little girl by his side, the air seemed to become sweet.
"Okay, add an egg."
Pei Yichen replied with a smile. He really missed Ning Xia's cooking, even though the spicy and sour powder looked like a dark dish.
Ning Xia smiled and nodded. She got out of bed and dragged her shoes to prepare dinner.
When they passed by the door, Pei Yichen waved his hand and hugged them, "Let me hug you."
Pei Yichen's low and hoarse voice made Ning Xia's heart ache a little. When had this man ever been so low? She had always thought that he should always be in high spirits, but now she realized that he was also weak.
Ning Xia wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in his chest. She breathed in his unique scent and her heart became calmer. There was also a hint of sweetness in her heart. No matter what happened, as long as they were beside each other, they seemed to be able to resist it.
"Don't worry, I've always been here."
Ning Xia raised her head and looked at Pei Yichen's chin. She noticed that there were green stubble on Pei Yichen's head. He must have been very busy these days, but she had been obsessed with her own things and had never realized it...
"Promise me that you will always be here and never leave me."
Pei Yichen asked in a low voice. It was as unreasonable as a child asking for candy.
Ning Xia smiled and nodded, obviously enjoying it. "Alright, I won't leave you for the rest of my life."
Ning Xia smiled and kissed him on the corner of his lips. Her face turned red. Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, she quickly broke free of his restraints and ran outside. "Wash up quickly. I cook very quickly!"
Pei Yichen couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his finger and touched the spot where she had kissed him. He could feel the residual warmth of her kiss, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.
Thank you for your life, Ning Xia. Thank you for your company.
By the time Pei Yichen went downstairs, Ning Xia was already prepared to serve him noodles. When she saw Pei Yichen coming, she couldn't help but tease him. "Aiya, it's better to be early than just at the right time. We can eat it while it's hot!"
"It smells so good. What noodles did you make?"
Pei Yichen wrapped his arms around her waist, put his head on her shoulder, and moved with her.
Ning Xia pouted. She had not expected this guy to have such a clingy side.
"Braised noodles, tomato egg stew, it will definitely taste good."
Ning Xia filled two big bowls with noodles, then poured the soup of tomato and egg, and sprinkled some green onions to embellish the soup. She looked especially appetizing. "A young master like you must not have eaten before. Hurry up and hug your thighs. In the future, I'll let you experience the life of a commoner more."
Ning Xia was delighted in her heart. She would never say that the noodles she made had a very down-to-earth name, "Spin Noodle Soup!"
Pei Yichen impatiently picked up his chopsticks and picked up one of the bowls, stirred it, and ate it. "Mmm, it's delicious!"
