(She is a kind-hearted girl next door, and he is a gentle, scheming male ghost)

Note: Slightly scary!

When Xu Zheng was fifteen years old, someone finally moved into the house next door that had been empty for a long time.

Because each household in the community where they lived lived in a separate building, and the family on Xu Zheng's left was very unreasonable and had no so-called neighborly friendship. Now that someone had finally come to the right, Xu Zheng's mother went to greet them in a very familiar manner.

Xu Zheng happened to come back from school. She was chewing bubble gum and saw her mother talking to a man.

When Xu's mother saw her, she trotted over and pulled her to say hello.

Xu Zheng was pulled over without knowing why. When she looked carefully, she found that it was a new neighbor. And this neighbor... was actually a handsome guy!

Although she was not very interested in handsome guys, she was just a little girl after all, and she was stunned for a moment.

Pei Xuanxi's light-colored pupils took in her reaction. He pursed his lips and smiled, very gently.

He said, "Hello, my name is Pei Xuanxi. I just moved here. I'm a few years older than you. I'll be grateful for your guidance in the future."

Xu Zheng came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly: "Hello, hello."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Xuanxi coughed several times, and his abnormally pale skin turned red.

Mother Xu asked with concern: "Little brother, are you sick?"

Pei Xuanxi put his hand on his chin and said apologetically: "Sorry, I caught a cold a few days ago and it hasn't healed yet."

Xu Zheng took the thing from his hand and said, "Let me help you, if you don't mind."

Pei Xuanxi smiled and shook his head. How could he mind? This was what he expected and had been looking forward to.

"Then I'll trouble you, sister." Pei Xuanxi said.

Xu Zheng sighed in her heart, this person's voice is so nice, if someone else called her sister, he would have been punched away by her.

Because Xu Zheng came back, Xu's mother went home to cook first, and Pei Xuanxi and Xu Zheng were outside moving things together.

He didn't have much stuff. After Xu Zheng went in, she realized that the house had already been decorated and she just needed to bring in some necessities.

When she entered, Xu Zheng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The floor was spotless, and the furniture was decorated in warm white, which could be described as monotonous.

However, Pei Xuanxi looks gentle and elegant, so it is normal for him to like monochrome and cleanliness.

After moving the things, Xu Zheng took off his hat and fanned himself, saying, "Okay, you have to tidy up the rest by yourself. By the way, are you going to live here forever?"

Pei Xuanxi handed her a bottle of water and said, "Yes, maybe my sister will be able to see me every day in the future."

Xu Zheng took a sip without hesitation and said, "You don't have to call me sister. I'm not much younger than you. Just call me Xiao Xu and I'll call you Xiao Pei? Not bad, right?"

Pei Xuanxi nodded and smiled, "Okay, you can call me whatever you want."

Xu Zheng touched her head. This man’s smile was so gentle that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go back first. If you need any help in the future, come to me." Xu Zheng said.

Pei Xuanxi said, "I'll remember that." He originally wanted to invite Xu Zheng to stay for dinner, but thinking that she would definitely not agree, he gave up.

Although he knew A Zheng's temper very well, he knew that he must not be impatient and had to take it slow.

After Xu Zheng returned, she couldn't help but praise him to her mother. Her mother also thought that this neighbor was nice. She pointed at the table, and Xu Zheng looked over and was immediately shocked.

There were actually quite a few gift boxes on the table, all of which were skin care products from big brands, and they must be very expensive.

Xu's mother said, "This was sent by Xiao Pei. He said that we will be neighbors in the future and we should get along well. Oh, I don't know what he does, but he is so rich. Look at that skin care product. I was planning to buy it a few days ago, but I didn't expect him to send it to me. I wanted to refuse it, but he didn't agree. I'm so embarrassed."

Xu Zheng bit the end of her chopsticks and said, "You gave me good things as soon as I got here. I guess my family is very rich."

After finishing her meal, she racked her brains to write her homework, but found that she couldn't do it, so she took it to her deskmate to do it together.

Her deskmate was the class monitor, had good grades and was a nice person. He told her that if she didn't know how to do it, she could go find him. They happened to live in the same neighborhood, just a short distance away.

School ended at 4:30, and Xu Zheng had plenty of time. She walked slowly, and when she passed by Pei Xuanxi's house, she subconsciously took a look inside.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanxi just opened the door and met her eyes.

"Xiao Xu." Pei Xuanxi smiled, "Are you going out? I was just about to look for you."

Xu Zheng raised the bag on her shoulder and said, "Yes, I'll go find a classmate to do my homework with. It's too difficult and I don't know how to do it."

She was completely unaware of the coldness that flashed across Pei Xuanxi's eyes, nor did she know that he knew everything about her. Now Pei Xuanxi was going crazy with jealousy.

"Is that so?" Pei Xuanxi said, "Maybe you can show me. I have good grades in high school and often teach my cousin at home."

Xu Zheng's eyes lit up and she asked, "Really? By the way, you just said you wanted to see me, what's the matter?"

Pei Xuanxi walked towards her and said, "Really. I made some food for you. Thank you for helping me move things this afternoon."

"Wow." Xu Zheng swallowed and said that she smelled a strong fragrance when she passed by here just now. It turned out that Pei Xuanxi was cooking.

Pei Xuanxi is clean, polite, handsome, and can cook. Xu Zheng's image of him has become better and better.

"But I just finished my meal." Xu Zheng said.

Pei Xuanxi said: "It doesn't matter, we can eat when we finish our homework if we are hungry."

He looked at the sky and said, "Besides, I'm right next to you. I'm right next to you. After you finish your homework, you'll have more time to play."

Pei Xuanxi's every word seemed to be what she was thinking. Xu Zheng nodded in agreement and said simply, "Okay! Then I won't be polite, hehe."

There was a hint of pride in the smile on Pei Xuanxi's lips, but it was very hidden. Xu Zheng couldn't see it. She was only thinking about what delicious food Pei Xuanxi had made.

After entering the house, Pei Xuanxi took out a pair of women's slippers, which were still brand new. Xu Zheng subconsciously asked: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Pei Xuanxi shook his head: "No, I just thought I would use it, so I bought it."

He knew Xu Zheng would definitely come, so he made preparations in advance.

Xu Zheng's homework was extremely simple for Pei Xuanxi. The two sat on chairs beside the coffee table. Pei Xuanxi's voice was gentle and her explanation method was unique. Xu Zheng understood it easily and felt more admiration for her.

This man seems to have no flaws.

After finishing the homework, Pei Xuanxi took out what he had made. When Xu Zheng saw it, her eyes almost popped out.

Braised spareribs, braised pig's trotters, and pork elbows, aren't these her favorite three-piece set? How did Pei Xuanxi know? Could it be an accident?

Not wanting to think too much, Xu Zheng's mouth was about to drool. She looked at him eagerly and said, "How did you know that I like these three dishes the most? If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much for dinner."

Pei Xuanxi handed her the chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's okay, eat as much as you can. Now is the time for you to grow up, so don't worry about getting fat. Try my cooking. If you like it, come anytime in the future."

Xu Zheng picked up a rib and stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "I don't get fat. I eat a lot every day but I don't get fat." The more she ate, the more delicious it became. "It's so delicious!"

Pei Xuanxi said: "It's good that you like it. I'm just afraid that you don't like it."

"How could that be!" Xu Zheng swallowed it and picked another one. She blinked, "Well, can I have a bowl of rice?"

Pei Xuanxi stood up and said, "Of course."

Xu Zheng enjoyed this meal very much. She had never eaten such delicious pork ribs, pig's trotters and pork elbows. She couldn't help thinking that it would be great if Pei Xuanxi could come to her house to be a chef.

But that's not possible. After finishing the meal, Xu Zheng rubbed her stomach with satisfaction and said, "It's delicious, really delicious. Can I come here often to eat? In return, you can come to me if you have anything."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanxi sat down on the cushion from the sofa, keeping a perfect distance from Xu Zheng.

"Really?" Pei Xuanxi asked.

Xu Zheng nodded, "Really? We are neighbors, so we should help each other."

Pei Xuanxi tilted his head and smiled: "Okay, then...can I ask you to come and talk to me when you are free?"

Xu Zheng was slightly surprised: "Talk?"

"Yeah." Pei Xuanxi nodded. "I'm weak and often sick. No one wants to be my friend, so I moved out of my home and lived alone. If Xiao Xu could be my friend, I would be very happy."

When he said the latter part, his eyes flickered and were very sincere.

Xu Zheng was a little confused. How could such a perfect person have no friends?

Pei Xuanxi expected her to do so and continued, "I don't have any infectious disease, I just have hyperventilation."

"Is that so?" Xu Zheng said, "Well, you can take care of your body slowly. It's okay. I'll just treat you as my friend. I can also ask you to help me with my homework."

The conspiracy succeeded, Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "Good."

From then on, Xu Zheng would come to see Pei Xuanxi every day, and he would prepare meals and wait for Xu Zheng to come. After tutoring her homework, the two would eat together. Over time, Xu Zheng got used to eating at his place. Sometimes when Xu's mother was free to cook, Xu Zheng would ask her not to do her share.

Their relationship gradually improved, but Xu Zheng had never seen him get sick.

She went back and searched, and found that hyperventilation only occurs when one is very emotionally excited. No wonder Pei Xuanxi is so gentle.

That day, before Xu Zheng finished school, it started raining heavily outside. She estimated the day and found that her mother would not have a day off today, so she would have to go back home in the rain.

Ben was prepared to get wet in the rain, but her deskmate suddenly offered to give her a ride.

Xu Zheng wanted to refuse, but then she agreed because she thought that they lived in the same neighborhood and it would be convenient to go there.

Unexpectedly, when she walked out of the school gate, she saw a familiar figure outside, it was Pei Xuanxi.

He was wearing a clean white shirt, holding an umbrella in his hand, and looking at the crowd with indifferent eyes.

Xu Zheng was about to run to him, but was stopped by her deskmate. He asked, "Is that your brother?"

Xu Zheng shook her head: "No, he is my neighbor, I will go and ask him why he is here."

After saying that, she ran over, the rain splashing on her pants, and Pei Xuanxi hurried to her side with an umbrella.

"Why are you here? Are you here to pick someone up?" Xu Zheng asked.

Pei Xuanxi saw a boy walking towards them from the corner of his eye, and he knew in his heart that it was the deskmate that Xu Zheng mentioned. He reached out and pulled Xu Zheng closer to him, and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

"I'm here to pick you up." Pei Xuanxi said.

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Pick me up, did my mother say so?"

Pei Xuanxi shook his head. "I knew you didn't bring an umbrella, and I also knew that your aunt was at work, so I came to pick you up."

Xu Zheng nodded. Just then, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky. Xu Zheng shrank her shoulders. Seeing that Pei Xuanxi had held most of the umbrella on her side, she was very touched and took the initiative to hold his arm so that neither of them would get wet.

Xu Zheng said to her deskmate: "My neighbor is here to pick me up. We live close to each other, so I'll leave first."

His deskmate wanted to say something but stopped himself. He had just clearly seen a provocative look in Pei Xuanxi's eyes.

After returning, Xu Zheng discovered that she had forgotten to bring her keys.

She searched through her bag and said curiously, "That's not right. I clearly brought it."

Pei Xuanxi said: "It's okay, come to my house and take a bath, otherwise you will catch a cold. I will tell my aunt."
