gentle fairy tale

When Yu Mian followed Pei Songxi into the living room of Pei's house, Ding Mei was sitting on the sofa on the phone, when she saw Yu Mian, she stood up: "This...Mianmian is back?"

There was clearly some joy in this surprise, Yu Mian smiled at her: "Aunt Ding."

Ding Mei looked at her in disbelief: "You child, why haven't you come back for so many years! Don't you still hold grudges?"

Yu Mian bent the corners of her lips: "No, don't worry."

Ding Mei seemed to have spoken to her in a bad tone back then. At that time, she didn't understand why. Later, when she found out about Pei Linmao, she felt that it was normal, and she couldn't hold grudges anymore.

Ding Mei looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help saying Pei Songxi: "Songxi, it's still your fault. I heard from Lin Mo that this child hasn't come back for three years. How can you tell me about you?" Run around the world with her temper!"

Pei Songxi was startled for a moment before lowering her head: "Well, it's my fault."

Yu Mian changed the topic with a smile: "Is Uncle Lin Mo at home?"

"Yes, upstairs, you go call him, he misses you."

"okay."

Yu Mian turned her head and smiled at Pei Songxi before rushing up, her back light and cheerful.

Pei Songxi looked at her back, a little lost in thought.

Ding Mei went into the kitchen and came out with a plate of fruit, still lecturing: "You, you are such an old man, how can you get angry with a child who is so much younger than you, and have the heart to leave her outside for three years. I heard that she is not close to her family, and she seldom goes back. Thinking about it, she is outside alone... Hey, Songxi, you are too."

Pei Songxi lowered her eyes, and her thick black eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids: "It's...my fault, I didn't treat her well enough."

Ding Mei wanted to say something else, but Pei Linmo had already gone downstairs with Yu Mian, muttering loudly: "My God, why did that little bean sprout look so good back then! Tell me, are there many boys chasing you now? , which one do you like, little uncle will help you see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a bunch of sharp, arrow-like eyes cast over from the living room.He looked over, met those bright and quiet eyes, and was startled: "Ms. Pei Songxi! What are you doing looking at me like that!"

Pei Songxi pursed her lips slightly, and said in a cold voice, "I think you're noisy."

"Aren't I happy when little girl Mian comes back?"

"No, it has nothing to do with you. If you quarrel again, you will be thrown out."

Pei Linmo: "..."

Okay, why was he suddenly targeted?Which sentence is wrong!

Cold and heartless woman!

He complained about her thousands of times from the bottom of his heart, but he was timid, sat down on the sofa, touched his nose: "You know how to bully me."

Pei Songxi ignored him, moved to the side, let Yu Mian sit next to her, saw her curled lips and uncontrollable smile, suddenly wanted to bully this heartless brother again.

Since Pei Tiancheng also passed away, most of the servants in the family have been resigned by Ding Mei.She is a person who knows how to enjoy life. Apart from cultivating Pei Zhiyuan, the rest of her mind is on introducing a partner to Pei Linmo.

At the dinner table, Ding Mei continued to urge him: "Lin Mo, how is the girl I introduced to you last time?"

Pei Linmo sighed, and put down the bowl: "Sister-in-law, I told you about this. We are in the arts, we love freedom. Marriage is a cage. I don't have that idea now."

"Why don't you have this idea, how old are you?"

"I, I, I... I'm three years younger than her!" Pei Linmo pointed to Pei Songxi, lowered his head and muttered, "Why do you keep staring at me? You just pinch persimmons softly."

Ding Mei was overwhelmed by his words: "You..."

Pei Songxi said softly, "How do you know that?"

After saying this, all four eyes fell on her, even Pei Zhiyuan, who was prudent and introverted, dropped his chopsticks in shock: "Auntie, are you in a relationship?"

God knows, after all these years, he was really worried that his aunt was going to become a monk because of her asceticism!

Pei Songxi lowered his eyes, picked out the thorns from the fish that Yu Mian gave her in the bowl, put it back in her bowl, and said lightly: "You guess slowly."

Everyone: "..."

What kind of thing is this? I have seen one that tantalizes people's appetites, but I have never seen such ones.

Only Yu Mian lowered her head, her ears were red, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Mian girl, what are you laughing at?"

"You didn't know it long ago, did you? Could it be that you have met her partner?"

"Tell me, what do you look like? I'm just curious, who can restrain a female devil like Aunt Pei... Pooh, Pooh, Goddess!"

They bombarded indiscriminately, one question after another, Yu Mian didn't know how to answer.After all, today doesn't seem like a suitable time to talk about this kind of issue.

She and Aunt Pei... It seems that they haven't reached that point yet, and it seems too early to say this now.

Pei Songxi naturally saw her embarrassment, and easily diverted the firepower away. His calm and indifferent eyes flashed past, with a faint threat hidden in his eyes: "Why are you so curious about my affairs?"

Ding Mei lowered her head first: "Ahem... no, no."

She is still waiting for Pei Songxi to help her order the bag that is limited to the world!She is not curious, not at all!

Seeing that the leader who had the right to speak had gone silent, the two big men also kept quiet tacitly, not daring to provoke her anymore.

Yu Mian held back her laughter, she couldn't help it anymore, after the meal, she took Pei Songxi to the yard, and laughed loudly: "You are so fierce!"

Pei Songxi picked a crabapple and handed it to her in the twilight, with a warm smile in his eyes: "Did it scare you?"

Yu Mian proudly raised her chin: "Of course not! You are a paper tiger!"

Pei Songxi lowered his head and smiled: "Only you dare to say that."

Yu Mian lowered her head to smell the fragrance of crabapple flowers, her brows and eyes were intoxicated, peaceful and gentle.

Pei Songxi always looked at her with a smile.

Not long after, Pei Linmo called them by the window: "Come in, let's play mahjong! What are you whispering in the yard at night! These two people are really good, they always have some little secrets!"

Pei Songxi slightly raised his eyebrows: "You don't want your wallet tonight."

"Who is afraid of whom! Let's fight!"

"childish."

After sitting down, Yu Mian turned her head curiously: "Aunt Pei, when did you learn it?"

Pei Songxi didn't speak, and Pei Linmo took the conversation first: "There will be one year to celebrate the New Year. Everyone is bored, playing mahjong and missing one, so I taught her too. She is also bad, so if you ask her to call you, you will die Don't fight...Pei Zhiyuan, what are you pulling me for!"

Pei Zhiyuan winked at him, and Pei Linmo followed his gaze. The next second, he saw Pei Songxi's face as low as water, and he cried out badly. I'm afraid he will completely annoy the devil tonight.

He quickly shut up, but it was too late, and the unilateral killing began.

After the start, Pei Songxi won three games in a row, and then began to enter the state of spectating the game. She didn't draw the cards herself, and crazily fed cards to Yu Mian who was sitting next to her.After two hours of playing, except for Ding Mei who played a card, the rest were all played by Yu Mian.

Pei Linmo loses everything he loses, and he has a bitter face: "Sister, sister, I was wrong. Can you show your hand high and have fun?"

Pei Songxi glanced at him lightly: "I can't. Continue."

Yu Mian couldn't help laughing out loud, and wanted to say something for him, but she also liked to see Pei Songxi bullying others, so she turned her head to look at her and smiled. .

As soon as she looked away, she felt a hand reaching out from under the table, gently grabbed her hand, and then squeezed the tip of her left finger. Is this... Aunt Pei?

Pei Songxi still looked at the table, but quietly took her hand and put it on her lap.

Just like that time in the lecture hall of Yongzhou University, she put her hands on her knees like this.

Yu Mian's cheeks suddenly turned red, she lowered her head, pretending to look at the cards seriously, but her mind was not on the cards at all, her focus was only on the slender and powerful hand on the table—— She would let go of her hand when playing cards, but she would come back in the next second, and the callused fingertips rubbed the back of her hand repeatedly, making it crispy and itchy.

She was almost unable to think... She never expected that Pei Songxi would be so bold as to hold her hand like this under the table.

They are all by the side, you can see them as long as you lower your head...

The more she thought about it, the hotter her cheeks became, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

Ding Mei noticed her strangeness and stood up: "Is it too hot? I said why is it so stuffy, the windows are not open."

Yu Mian immediately withdrew her hand guilty, because she moved too fast and knocked off the mahjong, Ding Mei who hadn't walked a few steps stopped, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"No...it's fine."

She was slightly annoyed, and turned her head to look at Pei Songxi. The man was still cold and indifferent, and only smiled when he met her gaze: "Let's go here, we won't fight tonight."

Pei Linmo breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved, and howled to count how much money he had lost. Ding Mei was talking to Pei Zhiyuan about something, as if he failed to introduce someone to Pei Linmo, and wanted to arrange for his son instead.

Pei Songxi pulled Yu Mian upstairs quietly: "I won't go back tonight, it's too late."

Yu Mian's cheeks were still red, and she gave her an annoyed look under the light, and when she got upstairs, standing outside Pei Songxi's room door, she said softly, "You just..."

Pei Songxi reached out and tapped the tip of her nose: "Scared you?"

"...Neither. It's you..."

"Okay, sorry, I was wrong, sorry, don't be angry."

She couldn't hold back... I don't know why, the more she wants to restrain herself, the harder it is to restrain her.Especially when looking at her with a continuous smile, she would want to hold her hand, wrap her in her arms, and even...

She always seems to be in control.

Pei Songxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling very strange to his own state, which was a feeling almost out of control, which he had never felt before.But tonight, she did something wrong. Before she had a showdown with her family, she couldn't treat her like this. She had to control the distance between the two of them.

Fortunately, it was just holding hands... She didn't do anything else, otherwise I really don't know how to face her.

Yu Mian was amused by her apology: "Why are you so serious? If you are afraid that I will get angry, please coax me. I...I want to sleep with you tonight, is that okay?"

Pei Songxi froze for a moment, then lowered her head and looked away from her, with a dry voice: "...No, Mianmian. This is at home, we..."

And, does she know what it means that she is going to sleep with her now?

Yu Mian frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Why not... They are all downstairs, I secretly, okay, come out early tomorrow?"

Pei Songxi coughed lightly, and quickly took a step back towards the door: "I... I'm old, I can't sleep well, and I want to sleep alone. Good night... good night!"

With a bang, the door closed.

Yu Mian stood in the corridor, angry and funny: "Pei Xixi!"

She's really old... She dared to secretly hold her hand in the living room just now, with such a bold look.Now when she asks if they can sleep together, she closes the door nervously, as if afraid that something will happen.

Really, tell her not to know what to say about her!

The next morning, after breakfast at Pei's house, Pei Songxi drove back.

On the way, Yu Mian kept turning her head, looking at her with a smile, her eyes were a little playful.

Pei Songxi was sitting upright, as if she was concentrating on driving, when the traffic light happened to be green all the way, she only looked ahead, pretending not to realize her scrutiny.

When Yu Mian got home, she received a call from her instructor just as she got out of the car.

She whispered something, Pei Songxi listened quietly for a moment, and vaguely heard her asking when the deadline was and what to do.

Not long after, Yu Mian hung up the phone. When she looked at her, she was obviously hesitant: "...the supervisor has a task to do, and it is a very urgent project. I am the person in charge, and now the other party suddenly decides to finish the project ahead of schedule. Accept, I'm going back."

Pei Songxi was also stunned for a moment, and her faint guess before became true.After a few seconds, she asked, "When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving today, I'm here to buy a ticket."

"Well... I'll take you to the airport."

Yu Mian originally planned to stay in Mingchuan for a week, but he didn't expect to have a new work arrangement within three or four days after returning.She went back to her room to pack her luggage. Many things were still in the suitcase and she hadn't taken them out, and now she brought them back as they were.

She quickly packed her bags, checked her tickets, and booked the nearest flight, which was a few hours away from boarding.She sat in the room in a daze, thinking of Pei Songxi's expression a moment ago, she seemed to be a little lost, but it flashed by and quickly dissipated.

She said she was going to send her.

That's all, there is not a word of retention.

Why didn't she keep her, would she want her to stay?

Yu Mian was a little lost.

This time she went home, more or less felt some changes.Pei Songxi treated her differently than before. He secretly held her hand under the table, undisguisedly intimacy, and that night... She said in a hoarse voice, she will kiss her again...

But after all, there was no kiss, just a hug.

This made her feel a little bewildered.

After all, that time in Yongzhou, Pei Songxi only said to pick her up and wait for her to go home.There seemed to be nothing else.

Sometimes she is afraid that she is wrong.Nothing seemed to happen between them, except that they were closer than ever.But she didn't dare to break this balance, and always hoped to get more confirmation from her.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Yu Mian let out a sigh of relief, suppressed her messy thoughts, and went downstairs with the suitcase.

Pei Songxi waited for her in the living room, watched her go downstairs, went to help her carry the suitcase, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything left behind?"

Yu Mian hummed lightly, but her eyes followed her back.

Something fell...

When you fall, my heart also falls.

Pei Songxi drove her to the airport and stood in the lobby, suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar... It was very similar to the time when she made up her mind to make Yu Mian no longer depend on her.

She asked her to attend summer camp, and she decided not to accompany her to Yongzhou University.

Those two times, she just stood there and watched her walk away.

The pictures are surprisingly consistent, and the time gradually overlaps.

Yu Mian just finished getting the boarding pass, and checked the flight time, it was not too early... But she really didn't want to leave.

Pei Songxi told her gently: "Call me when you arrive."

Yu Mian nodded, and waited for her to finish before asking her: "Will you miss me?"

Pei Songxi paused for a moment, but did not answer her question: "Pay attention to your health, eat on time, and don't work too hard. If you have any questions, please contact me, and I'll let someone arrange it... You can worry about your own affairs."

She didn't know how to answer her.

She can't be restrained by her, nor dare to be her fetters.Even if there is a voice in my heart that is crazily clamoring, telling her to keep her, or to go with her regardless, but... But this is wrong.

Yu Mian was silent for a while without speaking.

Before parting...why is she still so calm and rational?

She pursed her lower lip: "Then can I go home?"

"go home?"

"Back to you."

Pei Songxi touched her cheek, and said in a low voice, "You can do what you want at ease... I will visit you when you are free."

Yu Mian nodded slowly: "That's settled."

Pei Songxi hummed: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

Yu Mian lowered her head, and suddenly returned the string of Buddhist beads she was wearing, and asked softly: "There is a saying, Buddha saves the world, I save you. Have you heard it?"

Pei Songxi was startled: "Mianmian?"

Yu Mian smiled at her, and put the string of Buddhist beads on her hand: "Give this back to you, and just follow me with your heart."

Pei Songxi lowered her eyelashes, and the string of rosewood beads on her wrist, which belonged to her but had not been seen for several years, returned to her side now.

Her mind was surging like a tide, seeing the undisguised passion in the girl's clear eyes, she was speechless for a while.

In the next moment, Yu Mian stood on tiptoe, and her warm and soft lips brushed her eyelashes lightly, like the wind.

Her voice was also so soft, almost like a lover's whispering.

But she heard it.

She heard her ask her, "The rose you planted is in full bloom. When will you pick her?"

The heart was hit at that moment.

Memories come flooding in, and time flies by.

It turned out that more than ten years ago,

Just waiting for the time for a flower to bloom.
