Xia Zhen didn't sleep well at night, and her mind was in a mess. Sometimes she thought of Pei Chengan's charming face and intoxicating eyes, and sometimes she thought of the plan list written in black and white. What she thought of most was the embarrassing incident in the park, and What Pei Chengan said later.
No matter what it was, Pei Chengan was indispensable. Xia Zhen pulled up the quilt, covered her head in the quilt, and kicked her legs frantically under the quilt. She felt that she was going crazy.
She grabbed her cell phone and wanted to call Pei Chengan, wondering if he was asleep, and if he was just thinking wildly like her.
Pei Chengan called at 11 o'clock in the evening to say good night to Xia Zhen, and after hanging up, he added something to tell her not to think too much.
Xia Zhen felt that she must have thought too much because of his special reminder, which caused her current insomnia. Well, it must be!
So, she had to return it.
However, just after pressing the dial button, she hung up in a hurry. Because she suddenly realized that if she called him in the middle of the night to say that she couldn't sleep, people would misunderstand that it was because of missing...
She didn't want Pei Chengan to think so! So she turned off the phone decisively, put the phone on the bedside table, turned over and forced herself to sleep.
The next day, she didn't wake up until the sun was high. When she first woke up, she wondered that she wasn't woken up by the various notification sounds of her mobile phone. In the past, even if no one called her, but she has so many social software, there will always be many people who send her messages, and she can hear them in a daze. Also, Pei Chengan...
Only then did she remember that the phone was turned off last night.
After turning on the phone, there were indeed news notifications beeping continuously, and she saw Pei Chengan's at a glance with sharp eyes, and there was a call reminder.
Pei Cheng'an sent a message asking her to wake up and call him back, but she didn't say anything else. She was a little disappointed for some reason.
When she was hesitating whether to call him, his call came in.
"Hello..." Xia Zhen's voice was flat.
"Are you awake?" Pei Chengan's voice was filled with a smile.
"Um."
"My colleague invited me to have dinner with you, will you... go?" Pei Chengan asked.
Xia Zhen's heart skipped a beat, "Your colleague?"
"Yes, he is a senior brother with whom I have a good relationship. He knows that I am with you and wants to know you."
Xia Zhen was silent for a moment, then refused, "I have something to do today, next time."
"Then next time."
Xia Zhen felt a little sorry, there was nothing wrong with her, she just didn't want to know his friends. I don't know what will happen in the future, it's better not to know each other if we know each other. "What time did you get up in the morning?"
"6 o'clock."
"So early?" It seems that I slept soundly last night, it's really unfair.
"Get used to it, get up in the morning and exercise."
"Looks like you slept well last night."
Pei Chengan pondered for a moment, and said honestly, "I didn't sleep well." Yesterday was very busy and tired, and it was late when he got home. Normally, he could fall asleep quickly, but when he was lying on the bed, he would always think of Xia Xia. Zhen's voice and smile. In the middle of the night, he also had a dream, dreaming of Xia Zhen...
After hearing what he said, Xia Zhen's mood immediately improved, and she suppressed a smile and asked, "Why can't I sleep well?" But she was saying in her heart: Say you miss me, talk and talk.
After being silent for a while, Pei Chengan cleared his throat and said, "It may be because the spirit is in a state of excitement and the biological clock is disrupted."
Xia Zhen couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Why are you so excited in the middle of the night?"
"The acrobatics I watched last night were too exciting..." Pei Chengan paused.
Xia Zhen was dissatisfied, "It's just because of this, I thought it was me."
Pei Chengan was embarrassed to say that it was because he missed her, but now she is talking about it. "Well, the main reason is because... I always think of you." Sitting in the car, Pei Chengan felt a little excited as his ears were heating up and spreading to his face.
Finally hearing what she wanted to hear, the corners of Xia Zhen's mouth began to rise. She suddenly wanted to see Pei Chengan very much, and began to regret that she had rejected his colleague's invitation just now. But reason told her not to open her mouth to repent.
"When are you going out?" Pei Chengan asked.
"Let's go out later." Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it with other lies.
This time is too general, Pei Chengan asked: "Wait a minute, within half an hour or after half an hour?"
Xia Zhen didn't delve into why he asked so clearly, and replied without thinking, "After half an hour."
"Then I'll go over for a while, and I have something for you."
"what?"
"You'll know when you go downstairs in five minutes." Now his car is parked at the intersection between going back to his home and going to Xia Zhen's house, and it's only a few minutes to Xia Zhen's house.
Xia Zhen was torn. The reason why she didn't go to dinner with him was largely because she didn't want to see him today, because she found that she might be used to being with him every day and always looked forward to it, which made her uneasy.
But five minutes... It means that he is already on his way, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhen drooped her head, sighed heavily, and quickly lifted the quilt to get up.
Five minutes to wash, dress up and change clothes is too short!
Xia Zhen who was in a hurry caught the attention of Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia. Ms. Tian asked, "You seem to be fighting, why are you in such a hurry?"
"No... to see Pei Chengan, hehe." She stopped and said with a smile, then continued to work.
Busy with her hands, Xia Zhen thought melancholy in her heart, in fact, she didn't need to express her deep affection for Pei Chengan in front of her mother, because normal people would feel sad after losing someone like Pei Chengan.
It took Xia Zhen ten minutes to go out. When she arrived in a hurry, Pei Chengan stood by the car as usual, looking at her with a smile.
Xia Zhen's heart was beating fast, it was because of running, and it was also because of him.
Trying to be calm, she walked up to him and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Pei Chengan didn't mind, "It's only a few minutes. I heard that it's normal for my girlfriend to be late for an hour or two. I've been mentally prepared for this before."
"What if I'm three hours late?" Xia Zhen asked slyly.
"I'll pick you up."
Xia Zhen pouted, stretched out her hand, and asked, "What do you want to give me?"
Pei Chengan turned around and opened the rear door, then turned away.
Xia Zhen looked in surprise at the huge object that took up most of the space in the car, and then at Pei Chengan. "This is… "
Pei Chengan smiled at her, bent over and took out the lump from the car, then closed the door.
At this time, Xia Zhen's gaze was fixed on the teddy bear that she had coveted for a long time but was reluctant to buy. Her eyes were shining brightly, and the expression of joy was obvious, and Pei Chengan was also in a good mood looking at it.
Pei Chengan handed the teddy bear to Xia Zhen, "It's for you."
Xia Zhen looked at him with a very bright smile, then she stretched out her arms and hugged the teddy bear.
She looked happy, and Pei Chengan suddenly envied that bear.
"How do you know I like this?" Xia Zhen knew it was definitely not a coincidence, and at the same time she guessed in her heart, could it be that her mother revealed it to his mother, and then his mother revealed it to him? Does this count as cheating
Pei Chengan said, "I know it from your circle of friends."
Xia Zhen blinked and recalled, this seems to have been posted two years ago. At that time, I liked it very much, but I didn't have a formal job yet, and I didn't have that much money. I calmed down in the past two years, and felt that I was not young, so I took it to heart.
What's more, he read all her circle of friends? Xia Zhen regretted that she often posted crazy things.
Still, she was very happy. "Thank you!"
At this moment, Pei Chengan's phone rang, and it was his colleague who was treating guests to dinner, asking when he would arrive. Pei Chengan told him that Xia Zhen couldn't go because of something.
After hanging up the phone, he asked Xia Zhen, "Where are you going later? I'll see you off."
Xia Zhen quickly waved her hand, "No need to send it, I'm not far away, and I have to take this home first. Go to your colleague's." She just heard his colleague urging him to go there quickly on the phone , There is no way, his colleague is talking too loudly, she can stand in, even if she wants to listen.
Pei Chengan watched Xia Zhen go home, and he didn't turn to open the car door until her figure disappeared from sight. In the blink of an eye, he saw a familiar person stepping out of the car that had just parked next to him.
It's Xue Chen.
Pei Chengan nodded to him, then bent over to get into the car, but Xue Chen stopped him. "Mr. Pei, let's talk."
Pei Chengan stood up straight, looked at Xue Chen, and nodded.
Xue Chen is young and handsome in jeans and a black jacket today. Pei Chengan, on the other hand, was wearing trousers and a windbreaker, looking mature and handsome. The two are about the same height, standing face to face, it is really a beautiful scenery.
"What are you talking about?" Pei Chengan asked calmly.
Xue Chen took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, and handed one to Pei Chengan. Pei Chengan declined politely: "Sorry, I don't smoke."
Xue Chen smiled, put the cigarette back, and he stopped smoking. In fact, he seldom smokes. Smoking affects his throat, but sometimes he smokes when he needs to adjust his mood. Recently he smokes a bit too much.
"Talk about Xia Zhen."
Pei Chengan understood, and motioned for him to continue.
Xue Chen wanted to smoke again. He smiled wryly and said, "How much do you know about Xia Zhen? Do you think you are suitable for her? Do you feel that there are too many differences with her, such as personality and hobbies. Do you have any? I never thought that once the novelty wears off, you might not like someone like her, or find that she is not suitable for marriage. You should find someone similar to you."
Pei Chengan frowned deeply. He looked at Xue Chen with a resolute expression, and said, "Although I don't think you should ask these questions, I can tell you that I think Xia Zhen and I are very suitable. It will be so."
"Really?" Xue Chen obviously didn't believe what he said, "I hope you can consider what I said objectively."
After Xue Chen finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"You came here to pick up Xia Zhen?" Pei Chengan asked.
Xue Chen paused, then turned to him and said, "That's right."
Pei Chengan didn't say anything, and drove away.
