Pei Yi was brought back to the Pei family. He had caused trouble and faced his father's gloomy face, looking angry.
Feng Nan was also taken back to Pei's house. If she didn't come, the boy would hold on to the table and refuse to let go. Finally, Pei Jinhuai had no choice but to call Feng Nan to go along, and only then did he let go and follow his elders back.
"Are you wrong?"
Pei Jinhuai was angry at his son for being naughty and causing trouble, but he only had this one precious baby. Seeing his son's originally smooth hair was messed up, his body had several marks from being kicked by others, and his face was bruised, he felt a little distressed.
"That's right!" He shouted loudly, then felt a little aggrieved and went to hug Feng Nan:
"Feng Nan is mine, he is a filthy scoundrel, sit in the same row with Feng Nan!"
Pei Jinhuai was almost amused by his word "smelly hooligan". He raised his head and took a deep breath, "You hit people at will, aren't you a hooligan?"
When he came back, he held Feng Nan's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Who is more "rogue"
"I was beaten, too." The child who had refused to admit his fault before, hugged Feng Nan tightly, buried his head in her small arms, and whimpered in pain: "Oh, my face hurts too."
Feng Nan blew gently on the injured area and pleaded for him:
"Uncle Pei, don't scold Ayi. He didn't mean it."
The scene of the two children being so innocent together made Mrs. Pei smile. Pei Jinhuai felt that his son was wrong. He glared at him and reasoned with him:
"No matter what, it's wrong for you to hit people!" He didn't care about the severity of his blows. Although he was young, he was very strong. The other parents didn't dare to argue with him, but Pei Jinhuai was afraid that his son would continue to be lawless like this and he would be impossible to manage sooner or later.
Pei Yi refused to admit his mistake, and Pei Jinhuai was so angry that he wanted to use family rules. Old Master Pei was invited back as a reinforcement. When he saw his grandson being beaten, he became furious and went to find the child who had fought with him to "seek justice" for his grandson.
Behind every devil, there is an 'unreasonable' elder who indulges him. Pei Jinhuai couldn't do anything to his son, and even less to his father, so he had to be humble and explain the reason why Pei Yi beat him 'for no reason':
"Dad, you can't let him be like this. If he insists on going to school, then let him go. If he wants to be in Feng Nan's class, then let him be in it. But you can't hit him just because he wants to sit next to Feng Nan."
If you take action now when you're not satisfied, what will happen when you grow up
Mr. Pei ignored him and picked up his grandson's small body:
"Why did Ayi want to fight with others today?"
"I want to sit next to Feng Nan." He had cried before, with a red face. Now that his grandfather was here, he found a backer. He didn't act like he did before: "He won't let me."
He still felt unhappy. From childhood to adulthood, who in the family dared not give in to him? He could get whatever he wanted, but when others were unwilling to give up their position, he was of course unwilling to accept it.
"But have you ever thought that even if you win the fight, Sister Feng Nan might not like Yi for using force like this?"
When Mr. Pei said this, he panicked a little and subconsciously looked at Feng Nan. Feng Nan was about to speak, but Mrs. Pei seemed to understand what her husband meant, and she hugged Feng Nan into her arms to prevent her from making a sound.
Pei Yi, who had been so arrogant before, suddenly became as dejected as a defeated rooster. Even his eyebrows, which were flying high after winning the fight, drooped down, and he looked a little pitiful.
Pei Jinhuai was secretly happy. Old Master Pei said, "So next time you want to fight, don't do it in front of Sister Feng Nan!"
"dad… "
Pei Jinhuai shouted, but Mr. Pei ignored him:
"Our child has never been hit in the face in a fight. Let's find a teacher for Ayi and teach him something."
He reached out to touch his grandson's face and asked Pei Yi:
"Did my Ah Yi cry after the fight?"
"No!" He was very proud and turned to look at Feng Nan: "Feng Nan can testify for me!"
"I didn't cry." Pei Jinhuai couldn't bear to see his son's bruised face and smug look, so he poured cold water on him:
"On the way home, I hugged Feng Nan's legs and cried for help."
How can a man like him call for help from a little girl? Pei Yi was taught a lesson by his elders. He followed the advice of Mr. Pei and learned martial arts from the people his father found. He regretted that he was beaten black and blue the first time he fought in front of Feng Nan.
Feng Nan gradually got used to the life in the imperial capital. Although her grandfather was still serious, there were no more noisy parents at home. She went to a new school and got to know more people.
Pei Yi slowly invaded her life. He insisted on going to school with Feng Nan. He was less than five years old. Mrs. Pei felt sorry for her young son and originally wanted to let him go to elementary school a year or two later, but he refused to listen.
The day before school started after the summer vacation, Grandpa Pei sent him to the Feng family. Feng Zhongliang received the news early in the morning and waited at the door with his granddaughter.
As soon as the car stopped, Pei Yi couldn't wait to jump out of the car. Seeing that Feng Nan didn't rush over like before, he urged Mr. Pei in the car anxiously:
"Grandpa, Grandpa, get out of the car quickly."
He was busy asking the driver to open the trunk, which contained several suitcases of different colors and shapes, including those in the shape of a cool sports car, Peter Pan, Superman, etc. The driver wanted to take down the suitcase for him, and he jumped up and down, shouting in a baby voice:
"I'll do it. I'll do it."
He was anxious to show Feng Nan the results of his "martial arts training". He had been learning boxing from the coach hired by his father for several days, and the coach praised him for being as strong as a man.
While he was struggling to move the luggage, he glanced at Feng Nan out of the corner of his eye. Old Master Pei shook his head helplessly and apologized to Feng Zhongliang for disturbing him.
"The kid is clamoring to come live with you, saying he wants to go to school with Anan." He packed up all the things at home, looking like he was not going back, and even asked his mother to pack his sheets and pillows for him.
Feng Zhongliang found it funny. Feng Nan was a hurt child. Ever since she was kidnapped, there had been a gap between her and others. She had been very careful with her words and actions under her previous teachings, and now she was too well-behaved.
I don't really like talking to people because I'm afraid I'll accidentally 'talk too much' and reveal my life.
When I was at home, maybe because I had left such a deep impression on her in the past, she was also afraid that she would be sent away by her grandfather if she was "not well behaved", so the grandfather and granddaughter didn't talk much in their daily interactions.
Feng Zhongliang himself had little experience in taking care of children, especially such a well-behaved girl, and he didn't know how to communicate. He was happy to see Feng Nan having a child like Pei Yi around him. He could see that Feng Nan was not averse to being close to Pei Yi.
She is a good child. She has been hurt but she is still willing to give.
Perhaps it was because Pei Yi was a few years younger than her and was like a younger brother to her, which made it difficult for her to reject the enthusiasm of such an innocent child.
Seeing Pei Yi's fair little face flushed from moving things, she went forward to help. The two children carried the suitcases down with great effort. Pei Yi was tired from carrying and sat on his own ELYSEES classic sports car-shaped suitcase to catch his breath.
He was wearing a tailor-made suit, his hair was neatly combed, but his eyes were shining, and he patted the box and said:
"Feng Nan, I brought all my toys!"
He proudly shared with her that there were toy guns, tanks, Transformers, and all kinds of action figures in it. She didn't like these and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face:
"I also need to practice piano and read books."
Her hands were so soft, and she looked the cutest when she smiled. Her handkerchief was also different from his and smelled nice.
Hearing that she couldn't play games with him, he felt a little disappointed, and sensitively realized that his favorite "game" was not what she liked. He was a little anxious, as if he remembered something. He secretly glanced at Feng Zhongliang and Mr. Pei who were chatting in the distance, and took out a candy from the pocket of his small suit.
The Pei family was very indulgent towards him in some ways, but extremely strict with him in other ways. When he was at home, he was not allowed to eat candy. He had "grabbed" this candy from another friend and had hidden it for two days. He was afraid of being discovered by his elders, so he had not dared to eat it.
At this time, he took it out generously to please the young lady, and even peeled it open and tiptoed to feed it into Feng Nan's mouth:
"Feng Nan, eat, you eat."
She didn't like sweets very much, but when the child looked at her with bright eyes and expectation, she was reluctant to go against his kindness and put the candy into her mouth.
The candy had been there for two days and he had hidden it in his pocket. When he peeled off the candy wrapper, it had melted a little and his hands were sticky.
He licked his fingers that were dipped in sugar, and thought that the "treasure" he had hidden for two days was given away. Although he was willing to share it with Feng Nan, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.
“Is it sweet?”
The more he licked his fingers, the more envious he became. Seeing a small bulge on her cheek, he couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth.
He said that he wanted to "support" her. Now, when he fed her a candy, he also felt a sense of satisfaction of "supporting a family". However, it is the nature of children to be greedy. He saw Feng Nan eating with relish and his mouth was watering.
"sweet."
Feng Nan nodded. He couldn't help himself and said, "I want to try it too."
He had "grabbed" the candy from Cheng Runing, who said it tasted like cantaloupe and was delicious.
"Ah?" Feng Nan was a little embarrassed. "But," she stammered, at a loss, "but I ate it all."
"It's okay, I'll lick it." He grabbed Feng Nan's shoulders, pouted his lips and pressed them against the corners of her rosy lips, sharing the candy in her mouth.
When Mr. Pei, who was talking to Feng Zhongliang, saw this scene, his face turned black!
No one expected him to do this. Even the driver who was carrying luggage was dumbfounded.
Feng Zhongliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Pei Yi's plan to move into Feng's house for the first time in his life came to nothing.
He behaved in a 'rogue' way towards Feng Nan and was almost spanked by Mr. Pei, who always doted on him.
He was not afraid of being beaten, but when he heard that he could not live in the Feng family and could not sleep with Feng Nan, he burst into tears.
Mrs. Pei hugged him and comforted him. With tears in his eyes, he sobbed and told her what had happened today.
"Ayi, this is wrong. How can you kiss a girl without her consent? If you do this, Sister Fengnan will ignore you in the future."
He was too young and ignorant to understand what 'kissing her' meant, he just wanted to taste the candy.
He was afraid that Feng Nan would really ignore him, and for a moment he was so scared that he hugged his mother and cried. Mrs. Pei told him to respect his sister and not do such "frivolous" things.
In the world of children, they used to think that they would laugh when they were happy, cry when they were sad, and get close to someone they liked. But for the first time, he realized that doing so was wrong, and for the first time, young Pei Yi felt the worry of being afraid that Feng Nan would ignore him.
Afterwards, the Pei family sent gifts to the Feng family to apologize. Fortunately, Feng Nan was not angry with him and still played with him. Pei Yi breathed a sigh of relief and liked Feng Nan even more.
He likes Feng Nan so much. He must listen to his mother, protect her well, and never make her angry again.
He grew up following in her footsteps and went to the school she attended. Even though she was about to graduate from elementary school when he was in school, he insisted on studying in the same grade as Feng Nan every year, sitting in her seat, being taught by the teachers who had taught her, walking the same path she had walked, and reading the books she had read.
When she was in junior high school, he was in elementary school. When she was in high school, he was about to enter junior high school.
He was always behind her, chasing her figure, watching her grow from a cute little girl to a young girl. He knew everything about her, her favorite colors, favorite foods, favorite books, and every subtle movement of hers. She liked to twist the bottle cap when she was in a daze, frowned when she was unhappy, and always restrained her smile when she was happy. When she was quiet, she liked to hide in a corner with a cup of tea and a book, and she could spend the whole afternoon.
He remembered her height and weight, accompanied her through the pain of her first menstrual period, and knew that she didn't like taking bitter medicine when she had a cold or was sick.
When Feng Nan was in her senior year of high school, he went to Gongmason Middle School to find her. Feng Zhongliang might not have known which class she was in or which desk she sat at, but he knew it clearly.
When Pei Yi came, Feng Nan was not in the classroom. Her classmates were already very familiar with 'him' and all knew that he was Feng Nan's 'younger brother'. The school seemed to know who he was and were particularly enthusiastic towards him.
He entered Feng Nan's classroom and sat on Feng Nan's desk. Someone wanted to say hello to him, but he ignored them. He touched the desk and guessed where Feng Nan had gone.
Her favorite library is behind the school. She is about to take the college entrance examination, so she often goes there to read books, sometimes sitting there for most of the day.
He stood up and prepared to look for Feng Nan, bumping into the table. A letter with hearts drawn on it in red ballpoint pen fell out of the drawer.
Pei Yi was no longer the naive child he was at the age of three or four. He knew that it was wrong to open other people's letters privately, but when he looked at the letter, he felt a little curious and a little uncomfortable. In the end, he couldn't help it and secretly opened the letter to read it.
It was a love letter written to Feng Nan by someone else, praising her for her beauty and gentleness, and her outstanding academic performance. It said that they admired her very much and wanted to have a chance to become "friends" with her!
He tasted the sour taste for the first time, and in anger and hatred, he rummaged through Feng Nan's desk and found several such "love letters".
He was struck by lightning, and felt that the "seedling he had raised" was being stolen. From childhood to adulthood, he had been clinging to Feng Nan with a clear conscience because he liked her. He had never thought of anything else, let alone that someone would dare to covet her. (To be continued)
