Sister Liu looked at Qi Zaozao with a bit of surprise, "Zaozao, what are you doing?"
Qi Zaozao's expression was normal, but there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Sister Liu, I wonder if you have rented out your house?"
"No, do you want to continue living here?"
Qi Zao Zao nodded slightly, "I want to continue living here, is that okay?"
"But, you—" Sister Liu hesitated for a moment, "Are you quarreling?"
Qi lowered his eyelids early, but said nothing, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Sister Liu understood, "If you want to live here, then go ahead. I haven't touched anything inside. Why are you doing this?"
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
It was not easy for Qi Zao Zao to clean up with a big belly, so Sister Liu helped to clean up, but there was still a lot of dust, and they didn't have time to eat until after nine o'clock.
"What? You went to the place where you used to live?" Shen Xiaofei asked in surprise on the phone.
Qi Zao Zao bit into the cake she bought and responded, "After all, I still need to find a place to live, so I returned to my previous house. It just so happens that it is not rented out. As for the key, I will give it to you when I am free."
"Girl, isn't it nice for you to live with me?"
Qi Zao Zao smiled, "I know, but I still like to have a stable place. This place is good after all, I have lived here for so long."
"Hey, girl, what about your sister?"
Qi Zao Zao fell silent. "Let's do as written in the agreement. It will be enough once the child is born. It has come to this point. It would be a pity to give up. At least I hope my sister can wake up. I still need the money."
"You're putting yourself too hard."
"No, I'm fine!"
Shen Xiaofei felt extremely sad after hearing this. "I'll go over to accompany you if I'm free. It's hard for you to take care of yourself when you're pregnant. By the way, is there anyone over there with Pei Yifei—"
"No, don't mention him."
"All right!"
After hanging up the phone, Qi tidied himself up early, lay on the small bed, and looked at the lights on the ceiling. He had a long-lost feeling, familiar, but also lonely. It was as if his heart was stuffed with a lot of things, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
No matter how good Pei Yifei said, no matter how good he was to her, he was not as good as Pei Ruohan. Even if they were biological siblings, it was still the same. Why should she be so persistent? Just treat it as a dream. When you wake up from the dream and return to reality, you still need to go on with your life.
Pei Qiwei didn't expect Qi Zaozao to be so stubborn. She found her workplace and they talked for a while, but Qi Zaozao still refused to go back.
Although Qi Zaozao didn't say anything, Pei Qiwei guessed it. It was probably because of the matter between Pei Ruohan and Pei Yifei, but she didn't expect it to reach this point.
As night fell, Pei Yifei looked at the empty apartment. He didn't have this feeling when he was at Pei's house, but when he returned to the apartment, he found it so deserted.
His brows furrowed slightly.
Although I haven't lived here for a while, the air still seems to carry her scent.
It was like there was a shadow in front of him, her standing in front of the refrigerator and smiling as she asked him what he wanted to drink, her silhouette hanging clothes on the balcony, her deep and uncontrollable passion in bed, even her every frown and smile were so clear.
The night breeze was cool, the prosperity of City A was vividly displayed, and the neon lights were flashing, but it was also on such a night that some people stayed awake all night.
Pei Qiwei found Pei Yifei's apartment early in the morning.
"Yifei, I am so disappointed in you!!!"
Pei Qiwei crossed her arms over her chest, her usual charming smile gone, with a serious expression on her face, "If Dad knew about this, what would he think? Are you stubborn or have you been bewitched? Aren't you very smart? Why are you so confused in your feelings?"
"What did you say?" Pei Yifei raised his eyebrows slightly.
His hair was still a little messy, obviously he had just woken up.
Pei Qiwei chuckled, "What else are you asking? You and Pei Ruohan are so close, what do you want to do? You even let her go to work in the company. Are you satisfied only if you drive Qi Zao Zao away? Or do you think it's fun?"
Pei Yifei looked deep in his eyes. "Are you here to say this so early in the morning? Then you can go back now."
He turned around and was about to go to the bedroom, but Pei Qiwei shouted, "Stop!"
Pei Yifei remained indifferent.
Pei Qiwei was furious. "I don't know what's going on in your mind. Don't you like Qi Zaozao very much???"
"Did I ever tell you that I like her?" Pei Yifei paused and looked back at Pei Qiwei coldly.
Pei Qiwei's eyes widened. "Could it be that you—"
She became even more angry. "You and Pei Ruohan are biological siblings. You'd better understand this. No matter how much you liked each other before, it is a fact that you are biological siblings now. You'd better see clearly and don't do anything stupid."
"I told you that you can leave now because you came here to say these things."
"What's your attitude!?"
"What else do you want?!" Pei Yifei's eyes fixed, his pupils turned dark, and his expression changed, becoming very impatient. He was very annoyed now and was in no mood to listen to these!
Pei Qiwei is not a soft character either. Both the brother and sister have the same temperament. "I tell you, Pei Yifei, if you dare to do anything out of line with Pei Ruohan, then you don't have to recognize me as your sister!"
"I don't need you to teach me how to do things, so I won't send you off!"
Pei Qiwei left almost angrily.
Qi Zao Zao came back a little late after working overtime. It was still the same alley. He had walked that way many times and now he started walking that way again.
Feeling a little tired today, she slowed down her pace and looked at the moon above her head. It was surprisingly bright.
However, when she reacted, she saw a face that she didn't want to see for the time being.
Pei Yifei.
Pei Yifei under the moonlight was blocked by a layer of moonlight, but it lacked the softness, and his expression could not tell what he was thinking at the moment. There was a distance between the two of them, and they did not speak, but remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Qi Zao Zao walked towards Pei Yifei and passed by him, but at that moment, she was grabbed by his hand, "How long do you want to make trouble?" He frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased at her ignoring him.
Qi Zao Zao raised his head and looked at Pei Yifei suddenly, his eyes wide open, "How long do you want to make trouble?"
His frown deepened.
Qi Zao Zao suddenly shook off Pei Yifei's hand and took a step back. "What do you mean by how long do I want to make trouble? Pei Yifei, you really said it well!"
"go back."
"Why should I go back? Why should I listen to you? Do I have to do whatever you tell me to do? Pei Yifei, don't think too highly of yourself! You have no right to interfere with my freedom. We just made an agreement, not sold my freedom in life. Also, please go back. I don't want to see your face!"
Pei Yifei took a step forward and stared at Qi Zao Zao without saying anything. His eyes looked very scary. Qi Zao Zao was forced to lean against the wall. Pei Yifei supported himself on the wall with one hand, "Do you know what you are saying?"
Qi Zao Zao pursed her lips, her facial lines were very stiff, and her tone was also very tough, "Of course I know what I'm talking about!!!"
He seemed to take a deep breath and moved closer, "You didn't sell your freedom in life, but this year of your time belongs to me!"
Qi Zao Zao sneered, "Really?"
Qi Zao Zao smiled and looked into his eyes, but her smile faded. "Pei Yifei, I don't think it's necessary at all, right? I will give birth to the child, and I will not forget the marriage agreement. It's already like this, you just live your life, and I live mine, even if it's plain, I like it, isn't it better this way?"
"I won't meddle in other people's business anymore, and I won't appear in front of you and Pei Ruohan. I think this is good. At least you won't be upset about it, and you won't be unreasonable with me!"
After saying so many words in a row, Qi Zaozao's chest rose and fell, and her fair face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were so firm that Pei Yifei was stunned.
She pushed Pei Yifei away, but Pei Yifei grabbed her wrist.
"What else do you want to say? What else is there to say! No, there is nothing left between us. You are President Pei, and I am just an ordinary woman. I, Qi, have known myself for a long time, so please don't come again! I will give birth to the child, and the agreement will last until the day it expires!"
After struggling to break free from Pei Yifei's hand, Qi Zao Zao went back without looking back, his steps and back were so resolute! Then he closed the door tightly!
Pei Yifei looked at the shabby security door with a deep gaze, but at this moment, the figure under the moonlight looked so lonely.
Qi took off her bag early in the morning, but the metal chain got caught in her hair and she couldn't get it off no matter what she did. She tried to untie it, but the more she did, the more annoyed she became. She simply pulled hard, and a clump of hair fell off. Her hair felt a little numb, and tears began to fall one by one at this moment.
Anything else to say
What else is there to say!
But they are all fake!
It's all fake, all fake!
The tears fell more and more violently, and Qi lay down on the bed early, and actually fell asleep while crying.
Life must go on, classes must go on, many things have changed, but some have returned to the way they were before.
Time passed by bit by bit, and with each passing month, Qi Zaozao's belly became bigger and bigger. She still went to get off work and came home from work as usual every day. Half a month had passed since Pei Yifei came last time, and she had recovered from that emotion.
Pei Qiwei came to visit her several times, and seeing that she lived here, she suggested that she move to a better place, but Qi refused early on. For her, although the place was small, she was used to it. (To be continued)
