Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

The faint sound of sirens at the foot of the mountain ultimately failed to break the silence under the starry sky.

It was already late at night when Pei Luonan sent Gu Fanxing back to her residence.

Looking at the warm yellow light in her room, he stood downstairs for a long time, until the light went out, then he turned around and returned home.

Outside the car window, the neon lights of the city were still flashing, but his thoughts were always stuck on every moment he spent with Gu Fanxing.

That romantic dinner not only warmed their relationship, but also made him realize that in the battle with Wang Xinyi, Gu Fanxing had already become his strongest support.

The next morning, Pei Luonan walked into the office and frowned slightly as he looked at the pile of documents.

After processing several urgent documents, he picked up his phone and called Kong Haoyu.

"Haoyu, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a meal and thank you for all the hard work you've put in for Fanxing."

On the other end of the phone, Kong Haoyu laughed heartily and said, "Why are you being polite to me? But since you're treating me, I won't be polite!" After hanging up the phone, Pei Luonan leaned back in his chair, thinking back to the efforts Kong Haoyu had made for Gu Fanxing's case during this period, and his heart was full of gratitude.

He remembered that Kong Haoyu once spent three consecutive days in the archives room in order to find key evidence. His eyes were bloodshot but he still persisted. He even accidentally spilled coffee while looking up information, soaking important documents, and then reorganized them overnight.

In order not to delay the progress, Kong Haoyu spent two nights on the sofa in the office, relying on strong tea and refreshing coffee to get through the most difficult time.

As night fell, Pei Luonan and Kong Haoyu met at a private restaurant.

This restaurant is elegantly decorated, and the antique environment makes people feel comfortable.

After the two sat down, Pei Luonan skillfully took the menu, ordered a few dishes that Kong Haoyu liked, and asked for a bottle of red wine.

"Haoyu, you've worked so hard during this period. Thanks to your help with Fanxing's matter." Pei Luonan raised his glass and said sincerely. Kong Haoyu smiled and waved his hand, drinking it all in one gulp: "It's awkward to say these things between brothers. Besides, seeing how happy you two are now, I'm happy for you too."

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

Pei Luonan looked at Kong Haoyu with a wicked smile on his face: "I heard that you and Xiao Fangfei are progressing very quickly. Isn't it time to consider meeting your parents?"

Kong Haoyu paused as he was picking up some food, a look of unnaturalness flashing across his face. "How can it be so fast? We've only just started dating, and we haven't reached that stage yet."

Pei Luonan raised his eyebrows and continued to tease: "Still being stubborn, I've heard that you two have been dating frequently recently, and even Fanxing thinks you two are a good match."

Kong Haoyu put down his chopsticks and sighed: "To be honest, I'm also struggling with this. My parents have been urging me to find a girlfriend recently, saying that I'm not young anymore and it's time to get married.

Now that I finally meet the right one, I don’t know whether I should tell them or not.”

Pei Luonan poured him a glass of wine and asked, "Why are you hesitating? Do you think the time is not right, or do you have other concerns?"

Kong Haoyu picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, his eyes a little confused: "Actually, at the beginning, Fangfei and I were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend to deal with our families urging us to get married. But as we got along, I found that I really fell in love with her. She has a straightforward personality and works seriously. I am very happy to be with her. But after I confessed my feelings to her, although she didn't refuse, she said she wasn't ready yet."

"Maybe you should first ask her what she thinks about meeting the parents?" Pei Luonan suggested.

After the party that night, Kong Haoyu wandered around the community garden for more than 40 minutes holding his cell phone before he finally mustered up the courage to call Xiao Fangfei.

The phone was picked up on the third ring. The roar of the engine and the sound of metal clashing came from the receiver: "Haoyu? I'm debugging the locomotive in the modification workshop. If you have anything to say, please speak quickly."

"Well...my parents have been urging me to bring my girlfriend home recently..." Kong Haoyu was interrupted by Xiao Fangfei before he could finish his words.

"Stop." The background noise suddenly quieted down, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing. "Didn't we agree to get along as friends first? What does meeting the parents have to do with our current relationship?"

Kong Haoyu clenched his phone, his throat tight: "I was just thinking, if you want, we can..."

"I don't want to." Xiao Fangfei's voice was as cold as iron. "Right now, my mind is full of motorcycle racing and modification plans. I don't have the energy to think about things like meeting the parents. Marriage is a shackle for me, and meeting the parents is the first step into the siege."

Kong Haoyu stood in the cold wind, feeling even colder than before: "But my parents..."

"Please spare me," Xiao Fangfei interrupted him. "I don't want to be tied down by marriage so early, and I don't have the time for that right now. My motorcycle studio just got funding, and I'm going to Milan to compete in a motorcycle race next month, so I have to start training now."

A colleague's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Xiao Fangfei's tone became more anxious: "I'm busy here, I won't talk to you anymore, that's it." Without waiting for his response, the phone was hung up.

Kong Haoyu stared at his phone screen, thinking back to Xiao Fangfei's last week, speeding down the track on her custom-built motorcycle. She'd taken off her helmet, her sweat-soaked hair plastered to her face, the glint in her eyes brighter than ever. "Haoyu, you know what? Only when I'm on a motorcycle do I feel free."

The next day, Kong Haoyu went to the motorcycle club to find Xiao Fangfei. She was discussing the motorcycle race plan with the team. Her smile disappeared instantly when she saw him.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Kong Haoyu quickly stopped her: "Fang Fei, I was too abrupt last night, I just..."

"You don't have to explain." Xiao Fangfei took a step back, holding the documents. "I've said it before, marriage is a burden to me now. If you can't accept it, we can end it."

These words pierced Kong Haoyu's heart like an icicle.

He watched Xiao Fangfei turn and leave, her ponytail swaying from side to side with her steps, and suddenly remembered the first time they met. She looked so charming when she was competing, and her dedication to her career when she introduced the motorcycle modification plan with the smell of engine oil all over her body immediately attracted him.

In the following days, Xiao Fangfei devoted herself completely to the motorcycle race.

She often stays up all night in the modification workshop, and her social media is full of motorcycle design drawings and photos of competitions.

Kong Haoyu quietly followed her updates and saw a video of her winning the championship. In the video, she held up the trophy and shouted to the camera: "Freedom never stops!"

Three days later, late at night, Kong Haoyu was on his way home from overtime work when he passed by Xiao Fangfei's office and found that the light was still on.

Through the crack in the door, he saw her sleeping on a table covered with design drawings, with a half-empty can of Red Bull beside her and an unfinished motorcycle modification plan on the computer screen.

He walked quietly into the office, took off his coat and put it on her.

Xiao Fangfei woke up with a start and sat up alertly. After seeing that it was him, she relaxed again. "When did you come?"

"just."

Kong Haoyu pulled a chair over and sat down opposite her.

"Fangfei, I've figured it out. Whether you meet your parents or get married is up to you. I like the you who pursues freedom and loves motorcycles, not the you who is trapped in the traditional framework."

Xiao Fangfei stared at him for a long time, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly turned her head away: "I won't give up my career for love, and I don't want to be trapped in marriage."

"I know."

Kong Haoyu said gently, "You continue to pursue your freedom. I will wait for you. When you want to rest, when you want to stop, you can see me when you turn around."

The moonlight outside the window sprinkled on the windowsill, illuminating the locomotive sketch drawn by Xiao Fangfei.

Kong Haoyu knew that love was like waiting for a wind that might come at an unknown time, and for the love of his heart, he was willing to stay here, waiting for the wind and for her.
