As soon as Jiang Se agreed, Pei Yi's heart was like a cluster of fireworks lit up, and his eyes showed a bright look.
At that moment just now, when she showed hesitation, Pei Yi's heart was in his throat.
It was not the first time she refused. The French estate had a different meaning to him. He had managed it seriously for two or three years. It was like a land of hope that he had cultivated himself. As he said, everything was ready, just waiting for her to move in.
Last year he was too impatient and she refused to fly to Paris with him. Pei Yi naturally could not make such a mistake a second time.
He had been so careful, took so much effort, and tried so hard to hold her in his palm. What he feared most was that she would flap her wings and fly away.
The moment she nodded, Pei Yi felt his eyes become a little sore. He couldn't tell what that feeling was, but he felt warm and swollen in his heart, very satisfied, with a bit of sweetness and sourness. It was as if he had fulfilled a long-cherished wish, and he wished he could just pull her away right now.
"You can stay in France for a few more days. I will come to find you after training."
He held Jiang Se's hand and gave him repeated instructions.
The movie couldn't attract his attention at all. His eyes were always on Jiang Se. Seeing her smiling and nodding, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, Pei Yi didn't know how soft his eyes were. The warm affection was shown in his eyes without any concealment, wrapping Jiang Se tightly. She felt a little strange, why she had never felt it before.
Pei Yi held on until the stewardess played by Jiang Se in the movie appeared again, then he took Jiang Se away.
Pei Yi joined the army on the 5th and returned to the Pei family two days in advance to prepare. This time Pei Yi sent him into the army, it seemed that he was not just going to stay in the troops stationed in Beijing, but was going to leave the imperial capital. He did not mention the specific content of the training, but it should not be easy.
After he returned to the Pei family, he called Jiang Se the night before leaving, somewhat reluctantly:
"Except for this time, I may not bring my cell phone with me, and I won't be able to make calls for a month."
His tone was a little depressed. Before they left the imperial capital, Pei Yi felt that he had begun to miss her. He missed the way she smiled, the look on her face when she was reading books or scripts seriously, her dazed look, and her shy eyes. Pei Yi felt that this training session was extremely long and unbearable.
"Will you miss me?"
He couldn't help asking, and Jiang Se said:
"Won't."
Even though she couldn't see Pei Yi's face through the phone, Jiang Se could imagine that Pei Yi was extremely disappointed after hearing what she said.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Just kidding."
Jiang Se turned his head and saw two much grown turtles crawling in the exquisite crystal tank on the square table. When Pei Yi was at home, he treated these two turtles like treasures. He had people send various fish and shrimps to them every day and he would cut them into small pieces himself to feed them.
She reached in and poked the turtles on their backs twice. The two turtles were not afraid of people and their silly looks made her laugh. She raised her eyes and saw her own reflection in the crystal tank. She smiled like a flower and her cheeks were flushed.
Jiang Se was stunned for a moment. She never thought that she would be like this when she thought of Pei Yi and chatted with him.
"Shither, shither..."
She didn't hear what Pei Yi said on the other end of the phone. He called out several times in a row. Jiang Se came back to her senses and looked at her own reflection on the crystal tank. She changed her hand to answer the phone: "I'm here."
"Ayi, I miss you."
Such words were not as difficult to say as she thought. She lowered her eyelids, and knew without even looking that the smile on her face was a little immature, yet also a little sweet:
"You train well, I'll wait for you in France."
"You wait for me now!" Her words made Pei Yi's heart almost fly. He held the phone tightly, and then Jiang Se heard him jump off the bed with a "bang". Not long after, his father's scolding voice came from the other end of the phone:
"where are you going?"
“I want to go back!”
He ran with a "dong dong dong" sound as if he was going to open the door, but was stopped by someone. Father Pei angrily scolded:
"Nonsense! You are so rude, get back here! You are not allowed to go anywhere today. We will be leaving in a few hours. What are you doing making a fuss about, you bastard!"
Jiang Se couldn't help laughing. He was still struggling. After a while, he put the phone in his pocket and heard a rustling sound, mixed with Pei's father's scolding and the voice of calling Pei's family to come and hold him.
There was a bang when the door closed. After a while, he felt a little aggrieved:
"My dad, my second uncle, and my third uncle brought me here. What should I do?"
He wanted to see her now, wanted to see the look on her face when she said she missed him, wanted to hug her, wanted to put her in his pocket, and hold her in his palm all the time.
"alright."
He still sounded a little depressed. Jiang Se comforted him, but he still didn't give up. He heard the sound of the window being pulled through the phone, as if he wanted to jump out of the window.
Someone downstairs was shouting:
"You jump! I'm going to say this today. I'm going to give you two choices. Either you get on the plane unharmed, or I'll get someone to carry you up. I don't believe I can't cure you!"
Jiang Se's heart was throbbing, he was a little unhappy:
"Shither..."
"Or I'll drive over." Jiang Se stood up and wanted to change clothes. He shook his head. He couldn't bear to let her go out alone so late.
After saying a few more words, he asked:
"What did you do today?"
He had only been back to the Pei family for two days, but he felt like he had been separated from her for a long time, and he didn't know how he had gotten through the previous time.
"I made an appointment with Director Zhao to discuss the new play."
Speaking of the new play, Pei Yi remembered something:
"Right." He patted his head and stood by the window looking down. Pei's father knew his character and directly dispatched a few guards to come over, as if to install surveillance cameras outside his room. Pei Yi's eyelids twitched and he took a deep breath, but his tone did not reveal any clues:
"Last time you mentioned the new play, didn't you say you wanted to go to the Western Suburbs Women's Prison? I mentioned this to Ah Dan, and he replied to my message, saying that it's been arranged. Before you go, send him a message, and he'll find someone to accompany you."
After Jiang Se mentioned this matter, she was very busy. Later, she took on the filming of "About My Love for You" and an advertising contract. In addition, she was delayed by exams, so she didn't mention it again. However, Pei Yi kept it in mind and found Nie Dan.
The Nie family has faded out of the military in recent years, and their influence has infiltrated the Internal Security Corps, which controls the armed police force. Jiang Se mentioned at the time that he wanted to go to the Western Suburbs Women's Prison, so he was the best person to handle this matter.
They had already made arrangements, but Jiang Se hadn't mentioned the new script, and Pei Yi almost forgot about it. It was not until she mentioned the new play that Pei Yi remembered it and mentioned it again. (To be continued)
