After going down the mountain, Pei Chengan drove Xia Zhen to the hospital. The doctor untied the gauze to check the wound. Xia Zhen looked away after just one glance, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, as if she was afraid and tried to hold back.
Standing beside her, Pei Chengan saw her like this, raised his hand to support her face, and let her lean against him. With him, Xia Zhen felt safe, and the strong sympathy felt by the doctor when he removed the gauze stuck to the wound seemed not so obvious.
The wound was a bit big, and I ended up getting a few stitches.
When I came out of the hospital, it was only 10:30. Xia Zhen's foot was injured and it was difficult for her to move around. It was hard to go anywhere, so she had to go home and stay. But the two haven't seen each other for so many days, how can they be willing to separate. Xia Zhen was worried about what to do, they had no private place, she lived with her parents, and Pei Chengan lived at work, so it was not suitable to go anywhere.
Pei Chengan carried her into the car, then went around the car and sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.
"Where are you going?" Xia Zhen asked, but she didn't want him to say to take her home.
"Go to my place."
Xia Zhen looked tangled, "No way, there are so many people there, and I look like this, it's not good to go." She can't use her legs or walk now. Pei Chengan hugged her and carried her. His colleagues saw it, how embarrassed.
Pei Chengan explained with a smile, "It's not my workplace, it's my private residence."
Xia Zhen blinked, obviously surprised.
Pei Chengan continued to explain, "I bought it two years ago. At that time, my parents wanted me to get married earlier, so they wanted to prepare the house first. I didn't agree with it at first, but they still looked around. Later, I thought it was okay to buy it first." , You can change it if you don't like it in the future. Now it seems that buying this house is still good." He laughed and looked at Xia Zhen with meaningful eyes.
"Oh." Xia Zhen replied, with no expression on her face.
Pei Chengan bought the house with his own savings and some loans, but it was paid off last year. Originally, he planned to tell Xia Zhen about the house when he formally proposed to her. By the way, he would see if she was satisfied. If he didn't like it, he would sell it and buy another one. Today she was injured and couldn't stay outside, but he didn't want to send her home, how could he allow this short reunion.
"If you don't like the location or the floor plan, we'll sell it and buy a new one. But that house is also new, and I haven't lived there yet." Now that house is simply decorated and has little furniture. His parents were the ones to arrange these, and seeing that they were enjoying it, Pei Chengan didn't care about it.
Xia Zhen: "You can't even live in a new house." She had a reckless expression on her face. In fact, she really wanted to live on her own. For a fun-loving person like her, living with her parents would have many constraints. However, the two elders in the family expressed strong opposition, saying that she is an idiot in life, and her life would be miserable if she was alone.
Young people have a heart that wants to be independent. She was very persistent at the beginning, but finally the two elders of the Xia family came up with an idea, which was to let Xia Zhen do a drill at home. Well, just leave her alone and let her do everything by herself. Don't cook her meals, don't wash her clothes, don't wake her up. For the first two or three days, Xia Zhen felt fine. It was acceptable to eat outside for breakfast, and she was used to eating outside at noon, but she really couldn't bear to eat takeaway at night, especially her parents made it every day on purpose. She likes to eat dishes.
Of course, in the end she ended in failure.
Even so, she still wanted to live outside. How could the two elders of the Xia family not know her reluctance, they told her very "open-minded" that it's okay to live outside if they want to, find a man to marry, and live together before marriage.
Xia Zhen was amazed by their openness, but she didn't have much thought about going out to live.
Now suddenly thinking of this, Xia Zhen had some thoughts in her heart that she shouldn't have.
Pei Chengan said, "I don't want to live there alone."
Who do you want to live with? Xia Zhen asked in her heart, and then felt a little uncomfortable. If she refused to go on a blind date at that time, the people who lived there with him in the future... Well, she thought too much.
"Fortunately, you made that blind date plan." Pei Chengan said suddenly.
This was a topic Xia Zhen didn't want to face, and she became nervous. Even though he had shown that he didn't care, she still cared. Anyway, at the beginning she didn't like him but acted like she liked him, that was cheating. "Sorry, I lied to you at that time." She apologized to him.
She lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and looked a little pitiful in admitting her mistake.
Pei Chengan stretched out his right hand and grasped hers. Xia Zhen looked up into his eyes, and he looked at her, and said firmly and seriously: "You don't need to apologize for this, in fact, I'm very glad."
Fortunately? Xia Zhen didn't understand.
Seeing her confusion, Pei Chengan smiled and analyzed it for her. "Don't you want to find a boyfriend through a blind date?" These were all written on her plan list, but she still had to ask.
"Um."
"Without the plan, you'd refuse to go on a blind date, wouldn't you?"
"Well." Generally, people who don't want to go on a blind date but are encouraged by their relatives to go on a blind date basically push as soon as they can. It was her first blind date with Pei Chengan back then, and the previous few times, it was reasonable to say that she could have turned it off.
"That is to say, if you refused at the beginning, we would not have known each other."
"Yes." Xia Zhen nodded, her eyes brightened.
Pei Chengan couldn't help stretching out his other hand to touch her face, "So, it's because of that plan that we won't miss each other."
that is the truth! Suddenly, Xia Zhen nodded heavily.
Pei Chengan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, "Then you don't have to worry about this anymore, we should all be happy."
Xia Zhen was completely convinced by him, she let go of the big stone that had weighed on her heart for several days, and she just stood there smiling. But... She frowned and looked at Pei Chengan suspiciously, and said, "Why do I have the feeling that you said straight instead of curved?"
Pei Chengan raised his eyebrows, and said solemnly: "Because it's not curved in the first place."
"How did I just find out that your eloquence is also quite good." In fact, it wasn't just that I found out, since their relationship started to heat up, she had already discovered it slowly.
"It's not that my eloquence is good, it's that what I say makes sense."
Xia Zhen was disdainful, the sweet words he usually said to her had nothing to do with reason.
Pei Chengan also thought of this, and said, "The reason I say I miss you and like you is because it is my sincerity."
here we go again! Don't tell her that, she's been blushing for too long today.
Seeing her shy look, Pei Chengan's mood improved, but he stopped teasing her. "Let's go back now."
Going back or something, it's so ambiguous, Xia Zhen pretended not to know again. "good."
When the car drove, Xia Zhen asked, "Is it far?"
"It's not far, Jinxing Court. It can be reached within 20 minutes."
It turned out to be Jinxingyuan, which is one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The environment is good and the transportation is convenient, and there are key primary and middle schools nearby. They have bought houses there, who would be dissatisfied.
"It's actually Jinxingyuan." Xia Zhen looked at him with great interest, and said in her heart: Humph, so you are still a rich man.
Pei Chengan was very calm, "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!" Xia Zhen said cheekily. She doesn't care, he is so handsome and treats her so well, and now he let her know that he is rich, and no one will let anyone snatch her away!
In fact, she is not that kind of material person. Although her family is not rich, they have always lived well. Her house is small and a bit old. In fact, her parents saved a dowry for her, saying that when she gets married, she will buy a wedding house for her. You can share half of it with the man, or you can buy it for her separately. set. Xia Zhen didn't want to be a gnawing old man and refused, but her parents told her a lot of reasons, saying that she couldn't let her be inferior financially. Xia Zhen didn't want to get married so soon because of these.
At that time, she thought, since men are unreliable, and marriage is also unreliable, then there is no guarantee, why marry.
Now she understands that parents don't want their children to be wronged, but it's beyond their control, so what they can do is to give her a strong backing, so that even if she can't rely on her significant other, she can still have One's own world.
On the other hand, she also found that when she fell in love with someone, she would trust him without reservation, and would no longer be wary of this and that as before.
"Just be satisfied."
"Is this what your parents bought for you?"
"No, I bought it with my savings. I took out a loan and paid it off last year." He confessed honestly.
Xia Zhen was very surprised, "You are so rich?" This is unscientific, he is so young, and he is not in business, how did he make so much money
Pei Chengan said truthfully: "I have won some awards, and I have bonuses. I also started a business with my classmates during college and saved some money."
It turns out that the experience of an excellent person is different from her moonlight family, so jealous, what should I do? Some vague words suddenly flashed in her mind, which seemed to be what Ms. Tian said when she was persuading her to go on a blind date, saying that Pei Chengan is a top student, what awards he has won, that he is a very good scientific researcher, and so on.
Didn't she always brag like this before the blind date, maybe she is still a gentle, considerate, versatile and beautiful person in other people's mouths. So, she ignored all that.
Thinking about it now, what a bragging, it's just a discount!
He is handsome, she knows, his work is very high, she also knows, he is so rich, she also knows now. "You tell me this, and I will pester you to the end."
Pei Chengan smiled, "I'm very honored."
"Ah, it feels like picking up a local tyrant." Xia Zhen said with emotion.
"Local tyrant?" Pei Chengan looked dissatisfied with the word.
Xia Zhen giggled and said, "I like local tyrants."
Pei Chengan frowned, "Isn't there another way to say it - rich and handsome?"
Xia Zhen bowed down, because of his thick skin. However, he was so thick and well-founded that she couldn't refute it.
"Do you like tall, rich and handsome?"
"I like you." Xia Zhen finally confessed with a blush.
Pei Chengan's heart warmed up, and his ears also warmed up.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, "teasing" each other from time to time, and soon arrived at Jinxingyuan.
Jinxingyuan is located in a prime location, but it is not on the side of the main road. The community has a large green area to isolate the hustle and bustle.
Pei Chengan took out a card and handed it to Xia Zhen, then hugged her horizontally, and she swiped the card.
"I'll get you a card next time when I go home."
Go home and get it... This means that the other cards are at his house. If it is at his house, it is very likely that his parents have it. If he takes it, it is easy to guess that it is for her.
"No need!" After she finished speaking, she came to her senses, these two words had the meaning of refusal and welcome, so she said again: "I don't want it."
"That's fine, anyway, every time I come, I should be with you."
It's as if she's going to come here often.
Xia Zhen didn't continue to talk about this topic with him, and he would be led into a trap by him, so he was worried and kind.
He lived on the twenty-fifth floor, and when he arrived at his house, Pei Chengan told her the password. The door opened, and Xia Zhen's eyes lit up with the environment inside the room. He told her just now that it hadn't been carefully decorated, and it was clearly carefully decorated!
Could Pei Chengan lie too
She looked at him suspiciously.
Pei Chengan looked innocent, "I don't know what's going on."
"You haven't come here for a long time and you remember the wrong family name?" Xia Zhen asked, the possibility is quite high.
"Could it be that someone else's password is the same as ours?" Pei Chengan asked intentionally.
Well, that's still very unlikely, since his password doesn't appear to be a date of birth, nor a combination of years.
"My password is a patent number."
Xia Zhen was no longer surprised, how could his password be so vulgar. However, Pei Chengan became vulgar because of her. "I'll change it to your birthday later."
"No, the current password is very good, it's not easy to crack, and thieves can't easily get in."
"Your concerns...very thoughtful."
Well, it's right not to change it, but I still feel a little bit lost in my heart.
"What is this?" Pei Chengan saw a note on the shoe cabinet. Xia Zhen picked it up and looked at it, it said: Son, this is our surprise for you, I hope you enjoy your stay here.
Xia Zhen said nothing, Pei Chengan smiled, it was a satisfied smile.
In fact, when he decided to bring Xia Zhen here, he regretted not listening to his parents' advice to decorate it.
He put Xia Zhen on the sofa in the living room, and then inspected his strange home with Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhen noticed something strange, so she asked Pei Chengan, "Are these the styles your mother likes?"
Pei Chengan denied, "Both she and my dad like Chinese style." After a pause, he expressed his doubts, "This should be the style you like."
Ouch, Xia Zhen has a headache and can't imagine what the two mothers are talking about in private. She is not optimistic. Based on her understanding of Ms. Tian and her self-knowledge, she thinks that she will probably tell her embarrassing things about her.
She had so many embarrassing things, if Pei Chengan's mother knew about it, she wouldn't have the face to face others.
Hey, so desperate.
"I think my mother got involved." She looked up at Pei Chengan who was standing there with a sad face.
Pei Chengan looked very satisfied, "Well, I want to thank Auntie."
"Thank you for what!" Xia Zhen said, lowering her voice, almost talking to herself, "She must have told your mother a lot of things that are not good for me." What will happen if the future mother-in-law knows too many embarrassing things? What kind of consequences
"Really? What embarrassing things have happened to you?" Pei Chengan had a curious expression, completely ignoring her distress.
No sympathy at all! Xia Zhen said angrily, "I won't tell you."
"Well, I can ask my mother." Pei Chengan smiled happily, Xia Zhen glared at him, don't think that being handsome would be forgiven.
Pei Chengan sat down beside her, and raised his hand to stroke her hair, that is, smooth hair. "You're so cute."
"Are you making fun of me?" Xia Zhen's tone and eyes were full of danger, but Pei Chengan remained calm.
"If my mother doesn't like you, will you specially arrange this place to surprise us?"
As if he was right.
Pei Chengan pulled her shoulders and made her face him, "Don't worry, it's actually me who should be worried."
His words successfully diverted Xia Zhen's focus. "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm worried that my mother will often occupy you in the future."
Xia Zhen couldn't help laughing, "How is that possible!" Isn't it the mother-in-law who is worried about her son being taken over by her daughter-in-law
Pei Chengan did not explain, "You will know later."
"I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."
"Um."
He didn't walk away just now, he just looked around the living room just like her, he didn't even open the door to take a look, he didn't know what kind of style it was inside. Xia Zhen was imagining, could it be the romantic and dreamy style she likes
Ah, she is really getting less and less reserved.
After a while, Pei Chengan came out of the kitchen and asked Xia Zhen, "Are you hungry? I'll make lunch."
"Okay, but, is there any food?"
"Yes, it's still very fresh. It seems that I bought it today." The temperature of the vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator is only a little cold, which means that they have not been put in for a long time.
today...
Why is there a weird feeling everywhere.
"Do you want chicken, duck, or beef? How about we cook three dishes and one soup for lunch? I'll make soup in the afternoon."
"If you want to eat duck, fried duck with ginger. Also, just make two dishes and one soup. In fact, I am satisfied with a fried duck with ginger."
Pei Chengan nodded, "You can't be picky eaters."
Pei Chengan got busy in the kitchen, Xia Zhen was watching TV in the living room, turning her head to look at Pei Chengan from time to time, in fact Pei Chengan was much better looking than the TV. She said this when Pei Chengan received her gaze asking her.
After lunch, the two of them nestled on the sofa to watch TV and eat fruit. Not long after, Xia Zhen felt tired. She woke up very early today and didn't get enough sleep. But she wanted to talk to Pei Chengan, and it felt good to lean on his shoulder.
But in the end she still fell asleep, and saw in a daze, she heard Pei Chengan say to carry her to sleep in the room, she woke up a bit, resolutely refused to go, said that the sofa was almost more comfortable than the bed, and it was a style she had fancy.
Pei Chengan didn't insist, went to get a blanket to cover her, and then rested beside her. He's still jet-lagged.
The whole afternoon passed quickly, and it was almost evening, which indicated that it was almost time to go home at night. Xia Zhen hasn't told her family about her injury yet, she just wants to talk about it when she gets home, so as not to worry them.
But he never expected that after Pei Chengan's mother called him, the situation changed drastically, which caught Xia Zhen by surprise.
