Pei Fei huddled behind a pillar in the underground parking lot of her serviced apartment, twiddling her fingers nervously. She looked at Tao uncertainly, "Will this really work?"
"Absolutely!" Tao patted Pei Fei's shoulder with a solemn promise, "Believe me, I have rich experience in dealing with men! Look at your brother! I successfully attracted his attention by unexpected means and planted the seeds of love in his young heart!"
No way…
"but… "
"Don't be so arrogant, Pei Fei, look at this, your brother and I were married, and you were single; your brother and I had one child, and you were single; now your brother and I are probably going to have a second child soon, and you're still single, how long are you going to be single? Women, you either have to be ruthless or get lost, since there's a man you're interested in, don't be timid, just go for it!"
But at this point, Tao was a little puzzled: "But you don't have much contact with him, why do you suddenly like him?"
This story started a month ago, when Pei Fei's neighbor, a doctor of medicine and hematology expert who had returned from overseas, moved in opposite the hotel-style single apartment where she lived. Since then, her life channel has also been tuned into spring.
In response to Tao's question, Pei Fei couldn't help but shyly said, "Although I'm not familiar with him, his noble character attracted me. I heard that he insisted on coming to China despite the private hospital in the United States trying to retain him. He is particularly concerned about his motherland, which shows that he is patriotic and has positive energy. Although he has been in the United States for more than ten years, he has not forgotten his roots. This is a very precious and beautiful quality."
"He is also the youngest visiting professor in the history of University A Medical School."
"He is very patient with students. He is not like other professors who would exploit students. He is not greasy at all and is very approachable."
"When I open a specialist clinic in the affiliated hospital of University A, I am very patient with every patient and receive rave reviews."
…
Tao rolled her eyes in dismay: "Stop, stop, stop, stop talking nonsense, you are attracted by her face and figure. If this Doctor Gu Rui was a big and strong man, I don't believe you would notice her noble character."
"But to be honest, this Gu Rui is pretty good-looking, only slightly inferior to your brother. He's also a good-looking guy, so you can try to get him."
Pei Fei was a little confused: "He is at least as handsome as my brother! In fact, I think he is more handsome from certain angles! And he is younger than my brother. You are too biased when you look at your husband. It is totally unfair. Doctor Gu is the legendary comic book guy!"
As she was speaking, a familiar license plate number flashed before Pei Fei's eyes, and then the car stopped, and a tall, long-legged, handsome man walked out of the car.
Tao lowered her voice and said, "Action begins!"
Tao looked down at her daughter Pei Yumeng and said, "Yumeng, come on!"
Five-year-old Pei Yumeng nodded solemnly and made his face even dirtier. Then, the little actor got into the role in a second, with two hot tears in his eyes.
She walked out from behind the pillar crying, rushed all the way to Gu Rui, and then hugged his thigh accurately: "Big brother, I'm lost, I can't find my mother, can you help me?"
Gu Rui was stunned, then he really squatted down and said something to Pei Yumeng with a gentle expression. Seeing the opportunity, Tao pushed Pei Fei out from behind the pillar and said, "It's your turn!"
Pei Fei had written the script herself, so she was already familiar with it. She immediately encouraged herself, lowered her head, and walked over as if she was just passing by.
Pei Fei specially wore a very ladylike long skirt today according to the character setting in the script she wrote, paired with elegant high heels, and light makeup, appearing gentle and shy.
She calmed down again, and then pretended to be a kind passerby who was attracted by Pei Yumeng's crying and walked towards Pei Yumeng. She looked at Gu Rui pretending to be ignorant: "What's wrong with the child? Is there anything wrong? Do you need my help?"
Seeing Gu Rui's face at such a close distance, Pei Fei's heartbeat quickened again.
There always seems to be a kind of charm in Gu Rui's handsomeness. Just his eyes and expression make people feel that this man is not just a pretty face, but also very wise. He is not that kind of empty handsome, but has a kind of restrained sexiness that comes with wisdom.
According to Pei Fei's preliminary research, Gu Rui is single and seems to like gentle ladies from noble families, because his previous suspected girlfriends were almost all gentle, perfect, positive, healthy and optimistic, and the key word was good temper.
When Tao saw her script, she questioned why Pei Fei chose to set up a personality for herself that did not fit her real character at all, but it was precisely because of this research that Pei Fei decided to approach Gu Rui in this identity.
After all, men all like gentle, kind and perfect women, except for weirdos like their own brother.
Pei Yumeng looked at Pei Fei with tears in her eyes, and choked up as she said, "Beautiful sister, my mother and I are lost. Can you and big brother help me find my mother?"
Pei Fei nodded gently and kindly: "Okay, don't be afraid, I will definitely help you find your mother."
According to this script, Gu Rui would certainly accept it with pleasure, and then help Pei Yumeng with Pei Fei to find her mother who had already gone away to be alone with her husband.
According to the carefully designed script, this process can last the entire night. The two can naturally take the child to dinner and naturally exchange contact information during the meal. Pei Fei can also establish an image of herself as kind, helpful and simple in Gu Rui's mind by helping lost children, and naturally approach Gu Rui.
Pei Fei almost applauded his own plan.
only…
But she obviously didn't expect that Gu Rui didn't follow the plot of the script at all. Just as Pei Fei finished speaking, his cell phone rang. Gu Rui picked it up and listened to a few words from the other end. His face changed drastically. He handed Pei Yumeng to Pei Fei and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Then he turned around, got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away...
Ah this...
Pei Fei couldn't believe her eyes.
"He left?"
"He just left like that?"
"Shouldn't you be willing to help me find your mother?"
Pei Fei glared at Pei Yumeng: "Is it because your acting skills are not good enough? Did they see through you so you ran away?"
Pei Yumeng said unhappily: "Aunt, why is it my fault? Even my father can't recognize my acting now, and my mother also said that I am very skilled at playing the victim. There is absolutely no problem with me."
"You want to ask the question, why do they just run away like this?"
"That's probably because you don't look good."
"?"
Pei Yumeng was in her rebellious period, and she said with reason and evidence: "You are not the type that brother likes, so he is not attracted to you, not interested in you, and does not want to waste time with you to help me find my family, so he dumped me on you."
Pei Fei was almost angry to death: "Do you know how good I was to you when you were in your mother's belly? I played the piano for you every day with my noble hands. I also read prenatal education books to you. I was so good to you. Now that you are born and grown up, and your wings are strong, you start to talk back to me. I really gave my true heart to the wrong person..."
"Aunt, if you didn't force me to practice the piano every day and didn't tell my parents that I didn't practice the piano, our relationship wouldn't have broken down! Don't you know how I feel about you? Shouldn't I be the one you said was wrong?" Pei Yumeng's acting skills were really good. She immediately recited the poem she had just learned with a look of grief and anguish, "'My heart is toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch'..."
…
Gu Rui was usually in the hospital, and occasionally he would take time out to give lectures at school. Although he was Pei Fei's neighbor, Pei Fei had no advantage of being close to him, and had almost no chance to see him.
Now, after finally lurking around for the other party and preparing for such a long time, the other party left for unknown reasons. Even Pei Fei felt a little discouraged.
This fellow Tao Tao is also calculating. She said that she would lend Pei Yumeng to herself as an "extra" and would not charge "rental fees" because she has a close relationship with her sister-in-law. She is simply taking advantage of the situation and being ungrateful! Don't think Pei Fei doesn't know her wishful thinking. Isn't it to quickly get rid of Pei Yumeng, let herself take care of the baby in disguise, and then she and her brother will live together in their own world
As a result, Pei Fei was defeated. Thinking that she had to take care of the rebellious kid before nine o'clock in the evening, she felt extremely sad. She and Pei Yumeng simply hurt each other.
"Since it's empty anyway, let's review the music theory knowledge I assigned you a few days ago..."
The kid screamed, "Auntie! You won't be able to find a boyfriend if you keep doing this!"
Pei Fei angrily pretended to hit the kid, and the two of them walked forward hand in hand, bickering with each other.
…
Gu Rui went and came back, and this was the scene he saw.
He was in the hematology department and had just received an emergency call from the hospital saying that one of their patients had a sudden massive bleeding and the incident was sudden and the patient was in critical condition. Coincidentally, a kind-hearted person passing by was willing to help the child find his parents, so he made a prompt decision to hand the child over to the person and got in the car to go to the hospital first.
Just as he drove out of the underground garage, his colleagues from the hospital called and said that after their strenuous rescue efforts, the patient's condition had stabilized and Gu Rui didn't need to rush there anymore.
So Gu Rui drove back to the underground garage. It didn't take much time to go back and forth. As expected, when he parked the car, he found that the lost child and the girl who had kindly stepped forward to help were still there.
The two people were talking about something and didn't notice Gu Rui.
Gu Rui walked forward, intending to take the child with the girl to look for the family, saying that if the family found the child was lost, they would come to the place to look for him soon, and if that didn't work, they would send the child to the police station for help. Then he accidentally heard the above scene.
Although I didn't hear the whole thing, this big and small one is obviously a close relative, and must be a gang. They pretended to be lost to deceive themselves? So was it to defraud money? Or something else
There are many news reports in society now about people using abducted children to beg for food and commit fraud. The child calls this woman aunt, but she may not be a real close relative at all. In short, it is quite suspicious.
Gu Rui felt that this woman looked familiar. He didn't know whether it was because the patient's condition was stable and she was in a good mood, or if it was just a strange mistake. He pretended to be unaware and walked forward, showing a gentle and harmless face.
"The child hasn't found his mother yet, right? I just had something to do. Now that I'm free, I can help you find the child's family."
*****
Pei Fei felt that her luck was pretty good. She originally thought that it was a joke, but unexpectedly, Gu Rui came back and wanted to help her find the "irresponsible" parents for the "poor lost child".
Although there were some complications, everything went according to the script.
Pei Fei naturally started to act with all her energy.
Pei Yumeng pretended to remember the phone number at home. After Gu Rui called, the man on the other end of the phone cooperated and thanked him profusely, saying that he had to rush over from a long distance. Before that, could they please look after the child together, or send the child to the police station.
Pei Yumeng's acting skills exploded at this moment. She almost immediately looked at her supervisor Gu Rui with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, can you and beautiful sister accompany me to wait for my mother? I don't want to go to the police station. Besides, my mother has a mental problem. She only remembers to leave me here. If she goes to the police station, she won't be able to find me. I want to wait for her here..."
Gu Rui was just as she thought, gentle and elegant. Moreover, this kind of man had received a good higher education and had been overseas for many years. He was in contact with the environment of either hospitals or schools. His interpersonal relationships were relatively simple and he looked quite harmless. Pei Fei was somewhat complacent. He was obviously unaware of her routines. What's more, he gave Pei Fei the feedback she hoped he would give, just like checking the spot.
"Oh, I've been looking for you for so long, I don't know if the kid is hungry..."
"There's a nice restaurant nearby. Let's take the kids there to eat something first, and then go back to where we were and wait for the kids' mother."
Get on the road!
For Chinese people, the dinner table is the best place to bring people closer together!
Gu Rui had good taste and the restaurant he chose was also good. During the meal, Pei Fei naturally acted gentle and generous in accordance with her personality. When she heard about Gu Rui's profession for the "first time", she exclaimed in a cute way: "So you are a doctor, doctors are amazing, you must be a great student..."
Tao said that men have no resistance to women's admiration and praise, and Pei Fei almost spared no effort to look at them with starry eyes.
Maybe she was lucky today. When she was paying the bill after dinner, Pei Fei actually met a fan in the restaurant.
"Is that Pei Fei? Oh my god, you are so beautiful and charming in person! I like you so much, I listen to every piano performance of yours! Can you sign an autograph for me?"
Gu Rui was surprised when he heard that he was a pianist.
Pei Fei was quite generous. She signed autographs for fans gently and patiently, and even agreed to take photos with them, which made the fans feel flattered.
As the fans walked away, Gu Rui asked, "Are you a pianist? Pei Fei?"
Pei Fei nodded shyly and gave a perfect answer: "I can't be called a pianist. I'm just a person who plays the piano as a profession. I still have a lot of room for improvement on the road of piano, and I hope to become a master soon."
She glanced at Gu Rui and said, "But compared to Doctor Gu, I still think Doctor Gu is more capable. Your hands can save lives."
It turned out to be Pei Fei.
Gu Rui finally remembered. No wonder he felt she looked familiar.
It turned out to be her.
…
Gu Rui's parents were in business, and they were in the start-up phase when Gu Rui was an adult, so they were often on business trips. Gu Rui didn't like having an empty house except for himself all year round, so he often went to the small coffee shop downstairs to read journals and make experience summaries.
This cafe is very niche, so niche that almost no one comes here, except…
Except for the girl in the cubicle behind me every time—
"What's wrong with me, Pei Fei? Why do you want to cheat me?"
"Am I not gentle and considerate enough and sensible enough? Just because I am gentle and considerate enough, you still have the life to talk to me. If you say one more word, be careful or I will ask my brother to beat you up."
"At that time, I thought you were ugly and ugly men were older, so I agreed to try it with you. But I didn't expect that you were ugly and you were not good enough."
"You are such a bitch, you are just hypocritical. You cheated on me, and you blame me?"
"Cheating because I don't sleep with you? If I sleep with you, I'll get a STD now."
…
This girl seemed to come here regularly to break up. Every once in a while, Gu Rui would hear her holding a "breakup meeting" across the street. Her words were cold and sharp, almost making all her ex-boyfriends feel embarrassed.
Under the influence of the long-term "serial drama" and the accusations of the other party's various bizarre ex-boyfriends, Gu Rui finally figured it out.
This girl is called Pei Fei. Her family is quite rich. She has an older brother who has been spoiled since she was a child. She plays the piano and has a bit of princess syndrome. She likes to be praised by others. She has a bad temper and is easily emotional. She is very good at making sarcastic remarks and attacking others. She is always right and never gives up. She changes boyfriends like playing house. Of course, judging from the way she gets along with her ex-boyfriends, it is probably just playing house. Just holding hands and going shopping together is considered a relationship...
If Gu Rui hadn't experienced it himself, he couldn't even imagine that such a irritable person could play the piano. He looks pretty, and I accidentally glanced at him once, and his face is not bad...
But after a while, Pei Fei stopped coming here to "break up", and she started to come here to vent her anger.
Perhaps she thought there would be no one else in this shabby little coffee shop, or perhaps she trusted the soundproofing ability of the cubicle, Gu Rui could hear her howling in there—
"Rubbish piano music! Rubbish! Rubbish! It's all rubbish!"
"I don't feel like practicing the piano today either!!! Aaaaahhh!"
"I hate peaches so much!!! Peaches are garbage too!"
“I have to practice the piano again!! Why is this happening!! Why did I choose to play the piano!! Why why why!!”
"Pei Fei! Dignified! Noble! Keep pretending! You're doing great! Even if you want to curse, hold back! For your character setting! Character setting! Defeat Tao! Come on!"
"Hitting someone is against the law! Pei Fei, hold on!"
…
Whenever Gu Rui read the journal and got to the conclusion, he would either be interrupted by Pei Fei's anti-"breakup declaration" or suffer from her shouting and complaining. When he had a headache, he secretly swore in his heart that when he looked for a girlfriend or a wife in the future, he would never look for this type of person, but must look for someone who was gentle, generous, kind and sensible.
Later, his parents' business was doing well, so he moved out of his original residence and went abroad to study and work. He never went to that small cafe again, and therefore never saw Pei Fei again.
until…
Until this moment, the girl actually sat in front of him again in such a miraculous way, and was reborn into the gentle, generous, kind and sensible image in his ideal.
She came from a wealthy family, so Gu Rui's previous plan of kidnapping children or defrauding money certainly did not exist.
Pei Fei in front of him had no idea what Gu Rui was thinking, and was still trying her best to perform tactfully and perfectly: "I have been playing the piano since I was a child, and I have always been passionate about it. There has never been a moment when I didn't want to practice the piano, because I think that although I can't save people with my hands like you, Doctor Gu, music can also heal people's hearts to some extent, so I will use my hands to play beautiful music to heal others."
Pei Fei said, giving Gu Rui a gentle look: "Besides, I think I am very suitable for playing the piano, because I am a gentle person, so I think music can convey the peace in my heart, so that everyone will not be so irritable and impetuous..."
…
After a while, Pei Fei's "gang" partner No. 2 appeared. She was a very beautiful woman, who looked very similar to the little girl who was said to be lost. She thanked Gu Rui and Pei Fei profusely, and flattered Pei Fei in a particularly exaggerated way, including saying "Anyone who finds a girlfriend like you is really lucky" and "You look very suitable for a family", etc., and then led the child away.
It is difficult to change one's nature, and it is obviously impossible for Pei Fei to go from one extreme to another.
So she is not trying to defraud money, but emotionally, right
He was actually deceived.
This is quite fresh.
Gu Rui looked at Pei Fei, who was pretending to be gentle, and suddenly had some bad thoughts. He looked at Pei Fei gently and harmlessly: "Can I invite you to have dinner tomorrow?"
Pei Fei's eyes sparkled with genuine surprise: "Really?"
Her expression was indeed a little cute. Gu Rui nodded: "Really."
