The next morning.

Even though he slept so late last night, Pei Lin woke up at four o'clock in the morning.

The residual consciousness told him that he seemed to have had a long and dramatic dream in these short hours.It's a pity that no matter how hard I try to recall, I can't even remember half of the dream content.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

The sound of shallow breathing came from the ear, and the teenager beside him was still deeply asleep. The overly quiet room made the existence of the inaudible breath extremely strong.Inside the quilt, Pei Lin's left hand was visibly heavy - that hand was being held by two overlapping hands at the moment, and the breathing followed the pulse, coming from the place where the palms were touching.

Boom, boom.Again and again.

That kind of subtle throbbing made Pei Lin a little strange. He counted the beating of his pulse, and looked up and turned to look at the sleeping face of the boy.

It is still dark outside the window, but the electric candles on the floor of the room have not been extinguished. At this moment, the faint and flickering glow reflects the small room, flickering, like a piece of stars, lining the blue quilt like a river under the starry sky. a boat.

Under the faint starlight, Huo Xiuxun, who was sleeping peacefully, was very beautiful.The young man has beautiful white porcelain skin, a tall nose bridge, and thick and long eyelashes like a butterfly flapping its wings.

Pei Lin admired it carefully until he could clearly see the faint traces of dry tears under his eyes.

"..."

My heart felt like I was bitten by an ant, an unprecedented feeling.

Pei Lin couldn't help being at a loss for a moment.It was he who deliberately lured people into the trap of "marriage first, love later".It was also he who chose to take the crucial step on his own initiative, so he had naturally thought about the various reactions this person would have.

I thought that he would be happy, sad, clumsy and young, crazy and indiscriminate.

I also thought he would cry like this.

Now that I thought about it, what happened to this uncontrollable sense of loss of control that spread throughout the body?

With the help of the starlight in the room, Pei Lin moved.

In the slightly cool air, fingertips lightly touched that green and childish face.Even when this person is asleep, he still bites his lip slightly, as if hiding the grievances of several lifetimes.

Pei Lin closed his eyes and secretly thought about everything that happened last night. He believed that with Seth's comprehension ability, he should be able to understand the feelings he wanted to convey.Although maybe everything was not perfect, even though he had never taken the initiative in the past, and his words and deeds were somewhat inexperienced, at least he should not have made him feel sad or wronged.

Then why...

An indescribable feeling permeated his heart, Pei Lin cared too much about the tear stains, he cared so much that he faintly felt something was wrong.

As a rational person, he can actually accept that he is occasionally stupid, that he is played by an insidious enemy as a cute little dinosaur who is willing to play house with him, and that he can also accept that he is stepping on a dangerous road that he never imagined. , Talk about feelings with the "enemy".

He can accept it, as long as everything is under control.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he had developed a mentality that could be called "doting" towards this crying little dinosaur.

That feeling is like a small plant in the new spring sneaking out of the ground in no one's place, and by the time it is discovered, it has already flourished.As a result, at this very moment, he seemed to be able to see himself in a suit and leather shoes sitting on a poker table, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and wearing a calm and calm appearance, but inside he was like a high-speed car heading towards the cliff of dementia All the way.

He actually had a stupid impulse to take out all his chips and take an allin.

And the reason is that it was just to make the little dinosaur happy.

I want to pamper him well, make him feel at ease, and don't let him secretly feel wronged and sad in places I can't see.

"..."

Is this still possible?

This idea is obviously too stupid to make sense, and it almost reproduces the heroine and heroine of the romance novels thrown to him by Xiao Q.Pei Lin silently flashed through his mind all kinds of foolish kings from ancient times to the present, as well as the unlucky bastards who have been played around by the enemy and lost their minds.

It's so ridiculous it's unbelievable.

How could he hover on the verge of dementia even though he knew the world was unreal? ? ?

……

Pei Lin couldn't figure it out and decided to lose sleep.

He kept staring at the ceiling with his eyes open until dawn.

It wasn't until Huo Xiuxun woke up that Professor Pei got a little bit of psychological comfort—probably in order to maintain balance in this ridiculous world, when he dropped his intelligence drastically, Seth also dropped his intelligence along with him.He himself became a complete mess, and Huo Xiuxun didn't get any better.

Huo Xiuxun woke up early in the morning, feeling weird.

As if he hadn't woken up, and seemed to have lost his soul, he got out of bed stiffly like a puppet, and was tripped by slippers.Pei Lin called him twice from behind, but he didn't hear him, so he moved slowly and mechanically drifted downstairs as if he had no soul.

A thin layer of snow fell at some point last night.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, under the winter sun, there is a piece of white covered with silver.

There was heating inside the house, but it was freezing cold outside.Pei Lin followed downstairs and saw Huo Xiuxun going in and out of the yard to work for no reason early in the morning.

Move goji berries and various small, half-dead plants back to the house.

Soon his ears were red from the cold, and his knuckles and toes that were slightly exposed in the house slippers were also red.But he still didn't seem to feel the cold, took the pliers from the toolbox under the window eaves, and began to seriously repair the swings and lamps that Pei Lin installed in the yard that were not strong.

Pei Lin: "I can't tell, you know how to be an electrician?"

Huo Xiuxun fiddled with the insulating tape with his back turned to him, ignoring him.

"Don't wear more, isn't it cold? Ningning seems to have woken up too. She must have gone to the kitchen to cook breakfast. Make glutinous rice balls on the first day of the new year. What filling do you like?"

Continued with no response.

Pei Lin was not in a hurry.The winter bird in the book shook the snow on his body and called twice. The sun was warm and sunny, so he just stood behind him with his hands behind his back and stood behind him tilting his head to watch his work with a happy face.

After watching for a while, his gray pupils gradually narrowed, and his eyes narrowed behind Huo Xiuxun's ears.

Huo Xiuxun was obviously not looking at him, but the ear that was watching him moved slightly.

Pei Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes moved down, and glanced at the young man's back, and the back immediately straightened as if it had been scalded.The gaze continued to move down, and when it landed on the boy's red toes, the toes curled up even more quietly.

Huo Xiuxun was stared at by him.

He accelerated decisively, finished the work in one go, and then stood up, gritted his teeth and said from the depths of his throat: "I'm home!"

After speaking, he rushed to the entrance to wrap his coat and change his shoes.

Tao Xiaoning, who just came out of the kitchen with hot glutinous rice balls, was stunned: "Hey, hey, are you leaving now? What, I, I just cooked breakfast, eat before leaving?"

"Thanks, I'm not too hungry."

"Crack", the door closed, and the person ran away.

It wasn't just Tao Xiaoning who froze in place.Xiao Q went online early in the morning and was also puzzled by an extremely confusing scene.

[Here, master, master, what's the situation? 】

It doesn't understand!If it remembers correctly, didn't the plot last night be close to each other? !Then last night, supposedly waking up early this morning shouldn't be a young green-skinned dinosaur begging for a hug, all kinds of sexual gratification, sweet, sweet, and crooked scenes?

After all, for the male protagonist, this is a major life event that has been waiting for a lifetime!

After so many years of guarding the owner who is not enlightened, the long-cherished wish of iron tree blossoms, and the secret love for many years finally resounds.On such a beautiful day that everyone was looking forward to, what kind of rebellious thing did his master do to drive him away in anger?

……

Here Xiao Q is puzzled, while Tao Xiaoning looks like he knows everything.

While serving the glutinous rice balls on the table, he kept shaking his head and sighing with the expression of someone passing by.

She has always thought that her elder brother Pei Lin is the most outstanding, handsome, unfathomable and powerful person, but only today did she realize that the saying "no one is perfect" really makes sense?

By the way, what the hell did her brother do this morning?The textbook-style "straight thinking makes people mad".

Anyway, she doesn't understand.Just now in the yard, so cold snow objects next to each other, shouldn't his brother hurry up and get someone a cotton coat to greet the cold?

But his brother didn't, and he was still watching other people's work with his hands behind his back and a narrow expression on his face.

What's even more outrageous is that they have lost their popularity, why don't they hurry up to catch up?Still carelessly sitting down at the dining table?Still leisurely picking up the bowl and blowing up the hot glutinous rice balls, ready to eat?

After all this, can we still eat?

This, this, this, Tao Xiaoning is very grateful that she has a good vision and luck, and found a delicate and caring primary school principal, who pays careful attention to her various little emotions every day.

Oh, speaking of his brother, it's not like she hasn't seen him before, isn't it her best friend's ex-boyfriend!Every day is a variety of straight men's confusing operations, every sentence is irritating and can't be coaxed, knowing that his girlfriend's mentality is exploding, she can eat and sleep, and she feels great. If he is not dumped, who will be dumped?deserve it!

Just thinking about it, Pei Lin said, "This sesame glutinous rice ball is quite delicious."

Tao Xiaoning: "..."

"Brother, but Huo Xiuxun ran away without breakfast just now, he must be very hungry now?"

Everyone ran away in anger, cold and hungry, hungry!It's all hinted at this point, brother, you can be more careful!

"He's still wearing very little, and it's only snowed outside, so he won't be damaged by the frost!"

Pei Lin shook his head: "No."

"How old are you, you will naturally know how to wear when you are cold, and you will naturally know how to eat when you are hungry. It is not mentally handicapped, and you still have the ability to take care of yourself."

Tao Xiaoning: "..."

no.How inexperienced in love must this be to blurt out steel-confusing remarks? ? ?

Tao Xiaoning immediately decided to bear the pain and give up those out-of-print romance novels she treasured to her brother as a tutorial.While he was silent and helpless, suddenly the winter sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows and shone on Pei Lin's side face, illuminating his gray eyes warm and bright.

While continuing to eat glutinous rice balls slowly, he looked thoughtfully at the row of small goji berries by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Just eating and watching, laughing to himself.

Help, Tao Xiaoning doesn't understand, what's so funny?The key is that he still smiles so softly!After running away from the object of anger, looking at the plants with tender eyes like looking at the sweetheart? ? ?

[Knock knock. 】

[Knock knock, seth, what are you doing? 】

[...It's so noisy, I'm eating. 】

Look, at least he was a talent who had flourished in foreign criminal circles and never treated himself badly. How could he need others to worry about him?Pei Lin bit into another glutinous rice ball, which tasted like hawthorn, sweet and sour.

On the first day of the new year, there are not many shops open on the street.

Huo Xiuxun finally found a restaurant that was willing to work hard to open a restaurant during the Chinese New Year. However, the steamed stuffed buns in this restaurant were not tasty, and the soup was not tasty either.

【Ningning said just now that I made you angry, so you left suddenly. 】

【Strange, why don't I remember doing something that made you angry?Could it be that the electric candles last night were too bright and affected sleep?Or do you not like the smell of the palace lantern lily in the vase? 】

【…】

Sure enough, there was another bombardment: [Professor Pei, if you are really fine on the first day of the new year, you don't have to deliberately find something to talk about. 】

Anyway, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xiao Q let out a fierce "ow" when he hung up the communication.

Pei Lin smiled again as if she was in a good mood, while Tao Xiaoning watched the strange scene and sighed deeply that her brother didn't know how to reflect.

laugh!Laughing now, after two days of cold war, you will know how powerful it is!

However, Pei Lin actually had plenty of reasons to laugh, but he really couldn't explain his feelings to anyone.While eating glutinous rice balls, he recalled the scene when he stood behind Huo Xiuxun with his hands behind his back and watched.The courtyard was covered with snow, the boy below was trying to swing on the swing, and a little fat bird was chirping on the branch above.

Then suddenly, with a "pop", the dead branch was crushed.The fat bird fell to the snow and rolled into a ball.

It shook the snow, gave a sad and indignant "cheep", and wobbled away.

Very cute.

Obviously so cute, but Pei Lin knew very well that in his eyes, there was only the boy with red ears in front of him.

Cuter than the little fat bird.

Ning Ning said that he was ignorant and didn't help Huo Xiuxun with his work, and he really didn't do anything.At that time, all his attention was on trying to restrain himself, not to poke Huo Xiuxun, touch his black and soft hair, or simply hug him and pinch him.

He almost lost control of his fingertips.

Touching someone who feels cute and naturally wants to touch may be a very "normal" feeling for normal people.But to him, it is completely new and unfamiliar, as if it is a gorgeous kaleidoscope suddenly unfolding in front of his eyes.

It was really hard for him to imagine that a person like himself would experience that slightly out-of-control throbbing several times a day.

But maybe... Will this be what he has been looking for all along.

For many years, all he wanted was to be a "living person" again.It is no longer habitual indifference and numbness, but to regain the feeling of surprise, excitement, fear, and confusion.Even undercurrents of emotion cost him absurd clumsiness.

……

Soon, spring school will start.

After a day's class, Tao Xiaoning looked shocked: "What's going on? Since the Chinese New Year until now, you and Brother Xiaohuo haven't reconciled yet?!"

Pei Lin: "I've never been angry, so how can there be any reconciliation?"

Tao Xiaoning: "???"

She seemed to see her best friend's ex-boyfriend reborn, even after being dumped, she was still confused and confident-"She is not angry, how could she be willing to be angry with me?"

After careful observation all morning, it was quite sure that Little Huo's brother just ignored her brother, and didn't even look at her brother from the beginning to the end!The two of them are still at the same table, look at this big break, in order to avoid him, they ran to play with Zhao Xinglu and Chu Zhenhuai on their own!

And what is her brother doing?

Tao Xiaoning suddenly noticed that Pei Lin was sharpening a pencil.A pencil with a rabbit pattern, Huo Xiuxun's.

Take a closer look, more than just sharpening pencils?For the newly distributed textbook, Pei Lin is using his clumsy claws with poor manual skills to help Huo Xiuxun fold the book cover meticulously!People are playing happily outside and ignoring him, so he is working here silently?

"..."

On the spot, Tao Xiaoning couldn't help feeling a little bit fond of "the miserable brother who was dismissed because he was too straight and clumsy".

Woo, in fact, my brother has always paid for him silently, but he just doesn't know how to express it!As a result, he lost his temper and ignored his elder brother. Back then, it was his elder brother who helped him make so many friends QAQ

Xiao Q also watched the master doing this and that for the male lead all day, and couldn't help empathizing with Tao Xiaoning.

[This Huo Xiuxun, is it impossible for the legendary Ye Gong to love dragons and be proud of his favor? 】

Although Xiao Q was very reluctant to think this way, he really thought about it for so many days, and he didn't think of other reasons.In vain, he has read a lot of books, but he has never seen a male protagonist like this. The relationship that he has been asking for for many years is finally obtained, but he pushes it out and doesn't want it.

What is this, making trouble?Is it true that the blackened hero of the original work must do it from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't want to live a good life?

"of course not."

"It's my fault, it's a bit sloppy... It's not enough for him, and he needs to work harder."

Under Xiao Q's extreme confusion, Pei Lin lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

He not only laughed at his inexperience and incomprehension in feelings, but also laughed at his natural talent.It seems that after suddenly regaining some of the emotions that normal human beings should have, he can suddenly draw inferences about other subtle and twisted emotions, suddenly become enlightened, and learn by himself without a teacher.

"To understand Seth's abnormal behavior, you must first understand Seth. Generally, capable and powerful people will have an aura of arrogance, which is not difficult to understand. And Seth belongs to that kind of arrogance in his bones."

So, he can seem very divided at times.

Obviously, she had a crush on him in her previous life, and tried her best to understand his every move, figure out his preferences, raise his puppies, and even secretly copied his exactly the same house in private.But on the surface, he never expressed the slightest liking for him, whether it was in school or became an enemy later.

Even when she repeatedly provoked him back then, there was never any ambiguity.

When they meet again in this world, Huo Xiuxun is still unwilling to admit anything.

Sleeping on a bed and never taking the initiative to approach him.Sneering, talking poisonously, begging for mercy and charity.

In fact, the little green-skinned dinosaur may not be really cute, but it is also very funny and sarcastic.It's just that the contrast between dragging his little tail and running around is too cute, Pei Linfei has to think of him as cute.

"But he can't be blamed. His childhood, his background, left him alone and without any respect for many years."

"This kind of person usually goes to two extremes. Either he is completely self-deprecating, or he is just like him, and after he becomes an adult, he will try his best to double all his dignity. Therefore, he will set a standard for himself, even if it is No matter how serious the relationship is, it is not enough for him to bend his back and become a tool man who has no bottom line to give emotion, a puppy who wags his tail, and is grateful to be touched by people who tickle their fingers in front of each other."

【This……】

Xiao Q can no longer understand it here.

Is this some weird logic that only the hero and the villain can understand?How could the master take it for granted?

"All in all, he might still need me... Continue chasing him a bit more, even if it's just delaying time and putting on a show, don't let him agree so quickly."

【ah? 】Little Q continues to be puzzled.

"Because he feels very wronged," Pei Lin sighed, "After all, in his heart, he has no problem, and he is completely worthy of me. It is my problem."

"It's because I'm ignorant, I couldn't see him, I didn't choose him, so he was so mad."

"I've been angry for so many years. I can't be wronged by sending him a bouquet of flowers, giving him a candlelit night, or giving him a little sweetness. He wants me to give him more face. It's best to fully admit that I was stupid and blind If there is a problem and I don’t know the goods, I regret it now.”

"It can't be the next best thing, it can't be alms after knowing his feelings."

At this point, Xiao Q finally understands, but he still doesn't understand, and he doesn't agree!It doesn't understand the way of the male protagonist, it has read a lot of books and has never heard that it loves someone badly, and it insists on chasing after him.

[Essentially speaking, isn't this still arrogance?Master, you don't necessarily have to indulge him, let him hang out for a few more days like before, I don't believe he won't give in first! 】

Pei Lin: "Yes."

Pei Lin: "But, I want to get used to him."

The voice fell to the ground, and Xiao Q remained silent for a long time.

Pei Lin smiled helplessly.But if it were him who had just arrived in this world, of course he would not be able to compromise with Seth.Don't talk about compromise, dare to have such a fantasy request Professor Pei to blow up seth's head as soon as possible.

But now, after all, the little green-skinned dinosaur dangled his brain in front of him every day, and he got problems, and all kinds of mental impulsiveness.

However, Pei Lin quickly realized that Xiao Q's long silence was not against his insistence on going his own way, but just because of his "overbearing president's little escaped wife" style nonsensical speech.

"Oh, my woman, I'm used to it, you don't deserve any advice!"

No, he's been on the top lately, so he needs to read less mindless pet literature.
