The quiet before the storm.

The people in Pei Chen's gang were all silent. They had known each other and played together for several years, so they had some understanding of Pei Chen.

He has a good personality, is generous and loyal to his friends, and is good at having fun, so he is very popular and no one has ever seen him with a bad face.

But he never mentioned anything about his family.

The kidnapping case at that time was also a sensation. No matter how exaggerated the rumors were, as long as Pei Chen didn't say it, they wouldn't believe it.

But no matter how ignorant he is, he should know that this matter is his Achilles' heel. Who would have nothing better to do than to get into trouble for this? Only that guy must be crazy to dare to say such a thing.

Seeing that he was not angry but smiling instead, with no fluctuations in his expression, the people who had spoken righteously before were now at a loss.

Doesn't he care at all?

Or is this really just a rumor, and those people are just exaggerating it?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Pei Chen spoke, his tone calm and composed, as if he was a bystander discussing someone else.

"But there is one thing you said that is wrong. The kidnappers did not kill me. They just broke my limbs and left me on Fuling Mountain." He actually said this with a smile.

Ten years ago, the area around Fuling Mountain was still a mass grave, and jackals and wild beasts often appeared on the mountain.

"Of course I didn't want to become food for those beasts, so I held on for a long time and crawled like a maggot for a whole day and night before finally climbing down the mountain."

At this point, he rubbed his shoulders and looked at the group of guys in front of him who were pale and wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost. He sighed and said, "You didn't see the scene. I crawled for too long. The bones of my broken hands and legs pierced through my flesh and were exposed. My whole body was covered in dried blood, dirt and grime. I could have starred in a horror movie."

He looked calm and composed the whole time, and even laughed when he saw the horrified expressions on the faces of those people. "Next time you spread the story, spread this version. My version is the complete and detailed one, without any falsehood."

Some drops of water fell from the sky.

It's raining.

The two groups parted unhappily. The group looking for trouble left first, but Pei Chen's friends stayed behind, and they all looked at him worriedly.

Pei Chen smiled and said, "Okay, you guys go first. It's raining now, you want to get soaked?"

"P God, don't take it personally." Old Xu hesitated for a moment, but still rushed forward and hugged him tightly, "You still have us, we will always be good brothers."

"This is so disgusting." Pei Chen pushed him away with disgust, "Get lost now."

The group left soon after.

The rain gradually got heavier. Pei Chen tilted his head back slightly. The rain got into his eyes and his handsome hairstyle fell down with wetness.

A black umbrella suddenly appeared above his head. Pei Chen was stunned for a moment and turned his head.

The girl was wearing a raincoat and looked at him coldly: "Why? I asked you to work. You want to get sick from the rain and use this trick to make me sick, right?"

Pei Chen looked at her for a long while, then suddenly smiled with his eyes bent, and pressed his tall body on the girl's shoulders like a naughty boy: "I knew Yuanyuan missed me."

"You're so heavy!" Fu Yuan tried to hide to the side, but Pei Chen would follow her wherever she dodged, and her poor little body was almost broken.

Seeing that he refused to get up for a long time, Fu Yuan pinched the back of his neck, lifted him up from her shoulders, and watched a play: "Let me see, are you crying secretly?"

"What are you crying for?" Pei Chen reached out to grab her face, but he didn't get it. "I'm not a three-year-old child."

He was tall, and Fu Yuan felt a little tired holding the umbrella with one hand, so she switched hands.

Seeing this, Pei Chen took the umbrella and walked side by side with her: "When did you come?"

"When you told them to go to the bend to collide."

Fu Yuan was afraid that he would have a conflict with others, so she took a taxi over. She was there the whole time and listened to the whole process.

"Next time, ignore these people. If you are really angry, just beat them up." She added, "Don't be too harsh."

"Don't you think Yuanyuan hates me fighting the most?" Pei Chen tilted his head to look at her, his charming peach blossom eyes smiling and sparkling, like a little fox who had stolen some meat.

"I don't like it."

Fu Yuan also looked at him with a serious expression: "But I don't like you to make a joke of yourself to others. They haven't experienced it personally, so they can't empathize with you at all. They will only think you are pitiful and ridiculous."

"But Ah Pei, anyone would have died in that situation, but you survived. This is enough to prove that you are stronger than all of them."

Pei Chen put away his careless smile, but stopped talking.

Yes, his life is indeed tougher than many people.

He doesn't want to die.

He wanted to live so badly.

He wanted to know what he had done wrong to deserve this fate.

But if he hadn't met Fu Yuan, he might have been a useless person who couldn't take care of himself in his life.

Pei Chen came back to his senses from his thoughts and was a little curious: "I was dirty, smelly, and so scary at the time, why did you save me?"

"Because your desire to survive is strong enough, and the hatred in your eyes is deep enough." Fu Yuan remembered that she had answered this question before, "Only someone like you has the courage to continue living."

The pain of bone recovery and regeneration is not something that most people can endure. If the bone grows in the wrong position, it will need to be reconnected, which is a very difficult process.

She had saved a physically disabled person a long time ago. He was almost fully recovered, but he didn't hold on and completely lost the chance to become a normal person.

Pei Chen's strong character was rare among the people she had met.

The rain was getting heavier. Fu Yuan looked at the dark sky and suddenly said, "Let's go. I'll go drink with you."

"Really?" Pei Chen looked flattered.

Fu Yuan had played with them before, but never came again. Pei Chen was puzzled and finally found out the reason after asking for a long time.

It turned out that he was drunk and crazy. He would hug anyone he caught and cry and howl. More than a dozen passers-by were killed that night. Fu Yuan was with him at the time and was disgraced abroad.

The girl Fu Yuan is sometimes as gentle and lovely as the spring breeze and drizzle, and sometimes as cold and irritable as the winter thunder. However, as long as she is good to someone, she is willing to pamper and indulge the other person.

Even though she doesn't drink and gets drunk easily.

… …

Paradise Tavern is a tavern that focuses on hand-brewed beverages. The owner’s family has a brewing recipe passed down from generation to generation, and the business is particularly good.

Yan Yan has a special patient who is addicted to alcohol. He must be here every time before he is willing to cooperate with the treatment. Because the other party is a minor, he is more tolerant and patient.

"Doctor Yan, what are you looking at?"

The thin and sickly boy saw him staring at one place for a long time without moving, so he started to look at him curiously.
