Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

In the evening, the visitors had dinner and sat for a while before going back.

Zhou Tonglin was a little tired after holding on for most of the day, so he went back to his room early to rest.

Only then did Zhou Niantang return to the room and take out his cell phone to send a message to Pei Shi, asking him if he had returned home.

It was already half past nine in the evening, and she felt that if he dared to say "not yet", she would go out and beat him up.

Fortunately, he sent me a photo soon after, which was taken in the study room of his home.

The two of them started a video chat, and Zhou Niantang observed his expression while chatting. After all, she had stood him up today.

All in all, the two hadn't seen each other for three days.

It didn't look like Pei Shi was unhappy in the video, he was still the same as the day before.

"Tomorrow, I will definitely make an appointment with you tomorrow. I will come to find you after I wake up tomorrow." She made the promise again.

This time, even if a god came, she would go to see him. The young couple in love were separated for three days! She felt that this was almost three years.

"Then I'll wait for you tomorrow." Pei Shi said on the other end.

The two chatted for more than half an hour until someone knocked on Zhou Niantang's door, and then they hurriedly hung up the video.

Aunt Zhang came to see if she needed to prepare a midnight snack for her. She noticed that Zhou Niantang didn't eat much tonight.

"Then let's cook some noodles later." While having dinner that night, she heard an uncle talking about Zhou Yuan. She stopped and listened for a long time, and indeed did not eat much.

At nearly eleven o'clock, after she had washed up, Aunt Zhang came up again and told her that the noodles were cooked and asked her whether she should bring them up or leave them in the restaurant.

"Just put it in the restaurant. I'll go downstairs to eat." After she said that, she told Aunt Zhang to go and rest first.

Only after Aunt Zhang left did Zhou Niantang go downstairs for a midnight snack.

When she finished her bowl of noodles and was about to go back to her room, her cell phone on the dining table rang.

She didn't even need to look at the message to know who sent it, and that ringtone belonged to someone special.

……

Zhou Niantang trotted out with his cell phone in his hand. When he reached the side door of the yard, he saw someone standing outside.

She looked back and saw that the whole yard was quiet, so she went outside.

"How did you come?"

She was a little surprised at Pei Shi's sudden appearance.

"I missed you." Pei Shi's lips curled up slightly, that was the involuntary happiness that one would feel when seeing someone he liked.

Zhou Niantang was very pleased with his frankness. She felt that the Pei Shi who used to say frankly that he missed her and liked her was finally back.

Through the iron bars, she smiled and said, "You can't even wait one night? Didn't I say I'd go find you tomorrow morning?"

"I can't wait any longer." He was eager to see her. God knew how hard he had been going through these days.

He wanted Zhou Niantang to be by his side all the time, not to go anywhere, and wanted to see her every minute and every second.

It was already his limit that he had waited until now to come to her.

It started to drizzle at this time. Zhou Niantang carefully opened the side door and went out, taking his hand and leading him in.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Pei Shi looked at her hand that she was holding tightly and asked her in a low voice.

Zhou Niantang: "...If you were really afraid of being discovered, you wouldn't have come to see me."

She glanced towards the main building. Although the lights were still on on the first floor, her old father had gone to bed early, so there was nothing to worry about.

However, she still didn't dare to take him to her room, after all, her old father also lived on the second floor.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is only one place that is the safest.

Pei Shi let her pull him through the front yard and gate of the main building and into the backyard.

Everything here is no different from when he left. For Pei Shi now, it is a place that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Zhou Niantang pulled him all the way into the building in the backyard. They both tacitly lightened their steps and climbed directly to the fourth floor.

The wooden stairs leading to the attic did not creak as Pei Shi remembered when he stepped on them. It was obvious that they had been repaired.

Zhou Niantang pushed open the door of the room and knew that the curtains were drawn, so she turned on the light on the wall.

Everything in the room was the same as it was when Pei Shi last lived here. There was not even a hint of dust. It must have been cleaned recently.

Sure enough, Zhou Niantang said, "It was just cleaned a few days ago, and nothing has been thrown away."

Originally, she had never thought that one day Pei Shi would come here to revisit his old place.

After all, for him, the four years here are all bad memories.

But that day she accidentally heard Uncle Sun talking to other servants about taking down the bed in the attic and using it as a storage place, so she still spoke out to stop them.

Afterwards, he asked someone to clean up the place, even the sheets were washed and re-made, so it looked like someone lived here.

There was also a large pile of high school textbooks and study materials on the desk that Zhou Niantang had brought up.

Even the information she had collected about the foreign university was neatly kept in a book.

The room was a bit stuffy, so Zhou Niantang found the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.

Then she turned around and saw Pei Shi opened a textbook. She leaned over and saw that it was the physics book she used in her freshman year of high school.

"I'm curious. I asked someone to tutor you. Why were you able to finish all those questions so easily?"

Zhou Niantang knew how smart Pei Shi was, but as Yun Zhi said, no matter how smart you are, it’s useless if you don’t work hard.

She believed that Pei Shi must have learned it secretly at that time.

Sure enough, I heard him say, "At that time, I used Yunzhi's book to study in advance."

When he first came to the Zhou family, he was not free. Later, Uncle Sun felt sorry for him and turned a blind eye to his behavior.

In addition, Zhou Yunqi didn't keep such a close eye on him later on, so he went out often.

Making money or studying, in short, at that time he was only thinking about leaving here as soon as possible.

He glanced at the window. Before Zhou Niantang paid attention to him, he had stood there and carefully spied on her life.

"I knew it. I could see at that time that you had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes." Zhou Niantang was not surprised at all.

Recalling the past, Pei Shi looked at Zhou Niantang who had a smile on his face, and he still felt guilty and regretful.

Zhou Niantang could now easily sense his emotions, and she hugged him.

"I brought you up here because I wanted to find a private place to be with you, just the two of us, no one else."

"Can we all forget about the past?" She looked up at him in his arms, with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

For a moment, Pei Shi's heart tightened because of her last words, thinking that she still remembered some memories of her past life.

But after analyzing it, he decided that it shouldn't be the case.

Zhou Niantang felt that he must be getting stuck in a rut.

Under the circumstances at that time, his attitude towards her was actually understandable.

Although she occasionally brings it up to tease him now, she doesn't really take it to heart.

Instead, the person in front of me seemed to be stuck in the past.

What was even more puzzling to Zhou Niantang was that he seemed to have completely forgotten how Zhou Yunqi treated him in the past, and it seemed as if he really didn't bear any grudge at all.

Pei Shihui hugged her and said, "Okay."
