From Xu Nanyin's upside-down perspective, she saw Pei Zhuo's tall figure leaning against the door, his chin supported by one hand, his head tilted to look at her. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her.

His originally inverted and bloodshot face became even redder due to his excitement, as if blood was dripping from it.

She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping it was just her imagination.

Sure enough, when people are unlucky, even their ears will betray them, which is called hearing loss. How could she not hear anything?

"Sister-in-law, if you keep holding on, you might run out of oxygen."

"..."

Her hands were so sore that she could no longer hold on, but Xu Nanyin still used her last bit of strength to gracefully turn her body to the side and slowly retract her feet.

Finally, she fell safely onto the bed, gasping for breath, as if she had come back to life.

Pei Zhuo's gaze fell on her flushed little face, sweeping across her perky nose, which was covered with glistening beads of sweat, her slightly parted, wet red lips, her fair, beautiful chin, and the thick, slightly sweaty black hair that covered her body...

After Xu Nanyin had caught her breath, she immediately sat up and said coldly, "You're interrupting my exercise."

Pei Zhuo closed the door and sat cross-legged on the floor again, saying gently, "Such intense exercise after a meal is not good for your stomach."

Xu Nanyin just wanted to change the subject quickly: "What are you doing here again?"

Pei Zhuo, however, was not distracted: "I was worried that my sister-in-law hadn't eaten enough. It seems my worry was unnecessary. She ate too much."

...?

Xu Nanyin's mouth twitched. Did she hear correctly? Was he trying to trick her?

Pei Zhuo looked at the wooden window she had just kicked, "Sister-in-law, you reminded me. I have to send someone to guard the window."

"..."

Xu Nanyin's heart suddenly felt blocked and she felt unwell.

Were the ancestors of the Pei family really not some fox immortal or something? They all have such high IQs, couldn't they have a genetic mutation?!

Xu Nanyin shamelessly insisted: "Why are you guarding me? Can I run away like this?"

"If you pedal every day, it's still possible."

There seemed to be a smile in Pei Zhuo's eyes, and he directly exposed her.

Xu Nanyin clenched her hands tightly and glared at him, unable to suppress the anger in her eyes.

Pei Zhuo's expression froze slightly, and he coughed lightly. "I was praising my sister-in-law for her cleverness and bravery. Under such circumstances, she was still able to persevere and work hard to save herself."

"I'm not trying to save myself, I'm trying to save Jing Mo. I can imagine that he's going crazy because of me. If he gets so worried that he loses his mind, he'll fall into your trap. So as long as I have a breath left, I'm going to try my best to escape."

Xu Nanyin's eyes were red, and she suppressed her tears and sneered, "However, a cold-blooded animal like you who can even kill your own father, you won't understand."

For the first time, she saw the undisguised ugly look on Pei Zhuo's face.

Pei Zhuo seemed to have taken off the hypocritical mask and looked at her coldly.

"Xu Nanyin, from now on, it doesn't matter what you do or say in front of me. I'll let you do whatever you want, but there's one thing..."

"Pei Rong, don't say a word about that person. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do to you."

This is completely a stress response to having one's reverse scale touched.

She could not see any trace of guilt for patricide in Pei Zhuo's eyes, but only endless darkness and emotions like a black hole.

Xu Nanyin couldn't help but hold her breath nervously. She vaguely sensed that Pei Zhuo seemed to hate Pei Rong very much. There must be something else hidden between them...

The atmosphere was dead silent.

Xu Nanyin leaned against the wall, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face between her knees, not wanting to face him.

After a while, there was no sound of the door closing, but...

"It's him, it's him, it's him, our friend, little Nezha..."

"?"

Xu Nanyin felt that she must be nervous and had hearing problems, so she slowly raised her head.

But he saw Pei Zhuo sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a tablet in his hand and looking at it. The computer screen was playing the classic cartoon he watched as a child: The Young Hero Nezha.

It’s over, it’s over, there’s also a problem with my vision.

Xu Nanyin blinked hard. The picture on the screen was little Nezha riding on a white dragon and fighting with the dragon for three hundred rounds?

Pei Zhuo turned his head to look at her, "Sister-in-law, come down and watch it with me?"

"...?"

Xu Nanyin was so shocked that she couldn't stop talking for a long time before she uttered three words: "Look at your father!"

Pei Zhuo immediately pressed the button to pause the playback and looked at her with a frown.

Xu Nanyin took a breath nervously. It was over, it was over. How could she have forgotten that his father couldn’t see it? No, his father couldn’t mention it.

"Look at your uncle!" she corrected.

Pei Zhuo then pressed the play button, and the picture on the screen continued.

Xu Nanyin buried her head in her knees again, feeling extremely depressed. She felt that she was no match for him at all and could not figure out his strange moves at all.

No, she can't give up. For Pei Jingmo, she must not lose heart!

She needs to be strong and calm. If she wants to defeat her opponent, she must understand him, such as figuring out what he is doing now.

Xu Nanyin moved to the edge of the bed. Pei Zhuo turned his head to look at her, raised the screen a little higher, and they watched it together.

This cartoon should be a childhood memory for many people. Xu Nanyin has also watched it, but has forgotten most of the plot.

But she still remembered the plot of Nezha "cutting off his bones to return to his father and cutting off his flesh to return to his mother".

Suddenly, she was startled and looked at Pei Zhuo cautiously... What was the entanglement between him and Pei Rong?

Pei Zhuo's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he was actually very absorbed in watching it. How could someone like him, at his age, be like this?

"Why do you want to watch this cartoon?" Xu Nanyin simply asked him directly.
