One day after class, when I returned to my apartment, rice, three dishes and one soup were already on the table, and Leo was sitting by the table with a book waiting for me.
I was surprised, "Can you cook?"
Although I don't think he is a person who doesn't stick to the sun, but I never thought that he would be a man in the kitchen.
"My mother was not used to foreign food, and I cooked for her until she passed away," he said.
This is the first time he mentioned him to me.
I said, "Sorry."
He glanced at me lightly, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Eat."
I ate almost to tears.
"No wonder the British say that the shortest way to a man's heart is by his stomach. It's a rare truth," I said.
"So did I grab your stomach?" Leo asked suddenly.
I immediately tensed up and stared at his face, and he looked back at me quietly, the air slowly settled between us.
I was almost certain instantly that he meant it.
I looked a little ugly, "Leo, I can't."
He raised an eyebrow, "Don't tell me you don't like men."
"No, that's not what I meant." I tried to put it mildly, "but I'm not that person."
He met me by fate, but I was not his.
"It's okay, I can wait." He stood up and went back to his room.
The relationship between me and Leo could have ended here, if there was no phone call from Lu Qingfan.
He called me across the entire Eurasian continent, "I heard that there is a boy named Leo beside you."
I understood instantly that he had been sending people to monitor me, otherwise how would he know such a private matter.
My knuckles turning white while holding the microphone, "Lu Qingfan, watch me."
He didn't deny it, "You can play with him, but don't take it seriously." He said.
Oh, he said such cruel words in such an indifferent tone.
Several years have passed, but he still hasn't changed. In his eyes, all emotions can only bear the word "wanwan". Apart from status and power, nothing else is worth mentioning in his eyes.
"Lu Qingfan, do you think I'm you?" I said sarcastically.
Unmoved, he still spoke calmly, "Jiyu, I thought you would learn to be more mature after staying in England for so long."
"You don't have to worry about who I love to be with!" I said loudly, "I will grow old with Leo, and we will be together for a hundred years, so you can rest assured!"
I was angry with him, I hated him for his indifference and calmness.
Lu Qingfan sighed on the other side of the phone.
"Jiyu, you are so reckless, one day you will exhaust all your innocence. At that time, what should you do?"
"Even if I die, what does it have to do with you?"
You reject me thousands of miles away, you don't want me a long time ago, why bother to pretend to care about me.
"Father will find out about this soon, so take care of yourself." He hung up the phone.
I slumped down the wall, holding the microphone in my hand, and there was only a muffled busy voice on the other side, just like my terrified heart, which has called thousands of times and never got a response.
Lu Qingfan kept his word, and his father soon found out about Leo.
He was furious, froze my credit card, and issued 13 chase orders to recall me to China.
I smiled bitterly at Leo, "I have to go back to my country, maybe I can't come back. I will leave all the money to you."
"No, I'll go back with you," he said.
I hastily refused, "This time it has nothing to do with you, it was my father who misunderstood, you don't have to feel guilty."
"But last time I said I liked you, it wasn't a misunderstanding." He said frankly.
I can't say no more.
I always knew that I was weak and cowardly, but Lu Qingfan rejected me and taught me to live in the dark night, so when Leo showed me a little light, I couldn't help but be tempted.
But at that time, I didn't know that I would pay such a heavy price for my momentary greed.
From then on, he lost everything and fell into a darker abyss.
I just want a little love. Why are all kinds of things always wrong in the end
I took Leo back to Pei's house.
It was only when I left the UK that I realized that Leo was a black family from birth. It took a lot of effort to smuggle him out of the UK, take a ship to South Asia, and enter China from the border. I was worried all the way, but Leo was calm and composed.
He comforted me, "Don't worry, Pei. Even if you are discovered at this time, you will only be deported."
Leo has always been more of an adult than I am.
In his sharp eyes like young eagles, there is a cold light that I can't see clearly. It will be a long, long time before I know how I was played by him in the palm of his hand, and how I was discarded like a rag after being used all the way, but I never knew.
I was really naive enough.
Lu Qingfan is indeed the person who knows Pei Jiyu best.
I asked Leo to wait in the living room, and I went upstairs to the study to talk to my father.
He nodded, sat on the sofa, took the tea I prepared for him, and said to me, "Pei, I will wait until you."
I was moved.
When we arrived at the study, my father and I were very angry.
"I raised you to such a big age, and you did such a shameful thing for me, and you were kicked out of the university apartment for a man! How dare you take him back to Pei's house!"
My father was so angry that his face turned purple.
I could have explained everything to my father, but I didn't explain and let my father scold me.
Because Lu Qingfan stood upright by the wall, looked at me coldly, and said nothing.
I want to ask him to see, if he doesn't want me, Pei Jiyu, there are naturally other people in the world who want me, and it's not like I'm unloved.
My ridiculously poor self-esteem.
I said to my father, "Dad, please don't force me to leave leo, I need him."
He smashed the Northern Song Dynasty brush washer onto the wall behind me, "If you don't sever ties with him, then sever ties with me!"
"Dad." I begged him.
"Go away!" Father pointed to the door.
I was sad in my heart, gave him one last look, and walked out the door silently.
I'm just a coward. Someone is willing to love me sincerely. I only have this one chance. I'm afraid to miss it like this.
Leo said he was waiting for me.
He is so similar to Pei Jiyu when he was sixteen years old, and he is willing to wait for someone with all his chips. I dare not let him down.
Even if he disappointed me in the end.
It's a pity that my story with him ended like this.
He didn't want me in the end.
Before I had time to pour my heart out and be honest with each other, the story ended hastily.
It was like a farce, and Pei Jiyu was the only buffoon in the whole play.
