Chapter 125: Lovesickness

Xu Pei got down from the car, Xingchen Di then tilted the umbrella in his hand towards him. The rain was falling a little dense, and when the wind blew, it wet both of their shoulders.

"If I hadn't found you, were you not going to come out?" Xingchen Di asked.

Xu Pei smiled, didn't say anything, just looked at him without blinking.

Xingchen Di had a vague feeling that Xu Pei might know where they were moving to. His aunt is the producer of "Red and Blue Signal", and Xu Pei is a man with a background.

"How long have you been here?" He asked.

Xu Pei said, "It's been a while."

"Why didn't you get off the bus since you're here?" Xingchen Di asked.

If he hadn't had the whim to look over one car at a time, the two of them probably wouldn't have met.

Xu Pei said, "I just wanted to come downstairs and take a look."

Xu Pei didn't actually plan to come.

He had to go to West City tomorrow, so he had dinner and drove his car here by accident. He actually knew that Ying Hu was coming here, and Lan Zhou had called him to tell him about it.

He didn't mean to get involved with Ying Hu, either in the past North City station, or in the next West City station, which may be enough for Xingchen Di to suffer, it's not easy to rest for a few days, so don't let Xingchen Di go through these torture fields again.

He only thought of looking at it from afar.

The wind was a bit strong, the rain was also a bit heavy, an umbrella could not cover them both, Xu Pei saw Xingchen Di's shoulders were soaked, so he said, "You go in, I also saw you."

His voice is very soft, blown by the wind, the noise of the rain, are almost scattered into the wind and rain. Just come downstairs to see, anyway, also see you, this ordinary words, but he said a sincere sense of humility, so euphemistic and honest Xu Pei, but provoked Xingchen Di's compassion, he pursed his lips towards the surrounding look, said: "Do you want to go up and sit?"

"I'm not going, you should rest early." Xu Pei said.

No sooner had he said that than he heard someone call out, "Star."

Xingchen Di looked back and saw that it was Zhai's father.

Zhai's father, holding his umbrella, looked in surprise at the man behind him.

Xu Pei took the lead and stood upright, bent slightly and said, "Hello, Uncle."

Father Zhai came closer, and then laughed: "It's Xiao Pei, I just said, how do I look so familiar!"

Xingchen Di was slightly embarrassed and asked, "Why did you come down?"

Zhai's father said, "Your mother said she wants to cook you some eight porridge tomorrow, I came down to buy some dates ...... Xiaobei is just coming, right, you do not let people stand outside."

"No, I came to say a few words to him, and then I'll go back." Xu Pei said with a smile.

Zhai's father smiled, "Come are here, go up and have a seat, we just moved to a new home, you guys go up first, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things."

Papa Zhai said and walked towards the small supermarket next to him.

Xingchen Di looked at Xu Pei and said, "Let's go, then."

Xu Pei said, "Is there a fruit store around here?"

He hadn't planned to go into the house, so he didn't bring anything with him.

"You're welcome." Xingchen Di said. Xingchen Di said, " Ying Hu bought so much fruit that we can't even fit it in our fridge. You don't have to buy anything."

"I'll buy a bouquet of flowers, then. You just moved." Xu Pei immediately got into the spirit: "Why don't you go with me and come back later? I don't want to come empty-handed."

Xingchen Di had to say, "There's a flower store just around the corner."

They were walking together towards the flower store when Xu Pei suddenly reached out his hand and took hold of the umbrella handle. Xingchen Di thought he was going to take the umbrella from him, but Xu Pei just took hold of the umbrella and gently pushed it towards him, then held it and didn't let go.

He holds it on the bottom and Xu Pei holds it on the top.

When he came out from under the bushes, the rain was a little thinner, the ground was flooded with wet light, and the occasional car passed by. The umbrella tilted a lot to his side, and the other side of Xu Pei's body was wet. Xingchen Di smelled the familiar mint scent again, this time it was faint and cold, tainted with the dampness of the rain. He glanced at Xu Pei's hands and said, "Your frostbite has improved in the past two days, hasn't it?"

"It's much better." Xu Pei said, "I went back to a clinic run by a friend, reapplied the medicine, and today it doesn't itch much anymore."

Xingchen Di laughed out loud at his words.

Xu Pei turned his head to look at him, his heart pounding with laughter. Like when they first met.

Xingchen Di suddenly thought of a storyline, it is said that all Jiang Jin heroes will have a doctor friend, this doctor friend 24 hours a day on call, but also in the heroes do too much time to say a "you also want to restrain a little" ah.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

I didn't expect it to be so!

"Is this doctor friend of yours a hairdresser?" He asked.

"Right."

Xingchen Di smiled and looked at Xu Pei.

Xu Pei smiles and asks, "What's wrong?"

Xingchen Di smiled and shook her head, "Where's your other hand?"

Xu Pei said, "It's all good, too."

He said and lifted his other hand to show him that the redness on the back of the hand had also subsided and it was back to its usual white appearance.

Xu Pei put down his hand and looked towards Xingchen Di, seeing Xingchen Di still smiling, his ears slightly reddened, the rain dripping onto his hanging hand, cold and icy.

"You make me nervous when you laugh." Xu Pei said.

Xingchen Di Once you hear this, you don't laugh, the atmosphere can pull silk.

Zhai's father had just entered the supermarket and called Zhai's mother: " Xu Pei is here and will come to our house later, so hurry up and pack up."

Zhai's mother asked in surprise, " Xu Pei? He's here too?!"

"I just came out and saw him talking to Star in front of the neighborhood. No more ah, I'll go up after I buy something."

After hanging up the phone, Zhai's mother immediately cleaned up the coffee table and sofa, Xu Pei suddenly came to the door, making her nervous all of a sudden, she went to wash some fruit, and by the way, the shoes in the entrance organized, only just organized, you heard a knock on the door.

Looking through the cat's eye, she saw Xu Pei holding a bouquet of flowers and standing behind Xingchen Di.

She opened the door to her room and saw Xu Pei nodding nicely in greeting, "Good evening, Auntie."

Cool temperament, shy smile, and noble and honest!

Mother Zhai smiled and said, "Little Pei is here, come in, come in."

Xingchen Di saw that Xu Pei had been nervous just now in the elevator, and fearing that he would be embarrassed, he immediately said, "Mom, Xu Pei bought the flowers for you."

Xu Pei immediately handed over the flowers in her hand at the sound of her voice, and Zhai's mother took them and said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has given me flowers. It's beautiful!"

Zhai's mother is obviously also a little nervous, her voice is a little louder than usual, a little deliberate in her happiness. Xingchen Di smiled and took a pair of unworn slippers out of the shoe closet, new slippers, both pairs were linked together by a tag, he pulled them, they didn't break, so he asked Zhai's mother, "Where are the scissors?"

"Just find me any pair." Xu Pei says.

"In the drawer." Xingchen Di's mother said.

Xingchen Di took the scissors and cut it open and put the slippers under Xu Pei's feet.

Xu Pei took off his leather shoes and changed them.

He rarely wears leather shoes, so Xingchen Di asked, "Did you go to work today?"

"I was at a relative's birthday party." Xu Pei said.

"I said why are you wearing a suit today."

Zhai's mother is holding the flowers and watching Xingchen Di and Xu Pei talk.

This is the second time Xu Pei has come to their house. She remembers that the last time Xu Pei came, Xingchen Di was as surprised as they were, and he was a little awkward in his politeness to Xu Pei. But when Xu Pei came again this time, it was clear that the two of them were much more familiar, closer and more natural than before.

She looks on with a smile and, bumping into Xu Pei's gaze, says with a grin, "Come on in."

Xu Pei today wears a more formal, black suit, with a white shirt, black socks, Xingchen Di to find him or a pair of black slippers, the whole is only black and white, clean in the end, but he is fair, his features are heroic, but more noble and upright.

This and Ying Hu formed a great contrast, Ying Hu bright colors, clothes are young and fashionable, the two are like an ice and a fire, the front foot just left, this one arrived, Zhai mother just lamented Ying Hu good, now see Xu Pei, eyes only Xu Pei again.

Can't blame her to look at a look in a ah, which are too handsome too good, this condition of young people, which can meet in real life ah.

Not to mention the filters on TV.

"Have you lost some weight?" She asked Xu Pei.

Xu Pei smiles and says, "A little."

"You sit you sit." Mama Zhai said as she put down the flowers.

Xu Pei had just sat down when he heard the door open. Zhai's father had come back from shopping.

Xu Pei immediately stood up again.

Xingchen Di looked back at Xu Pei, he felt that Xu Pei was more nervous than the last time he came, but Xu Pei this person in front of others will be strong, Xingchen Di look at his pursed lips and pretend to calm look and want to laugh, Xu Pei noticed his gaze, looked at him, and hurried to greet Zhai father.

Papa Zhai waved his hand: "You sit you sit."

Zhai's father put down his purchases and sat down with a light cough.

Xu Pei just sat down.

Xingchen Di poured a cup of tea for Xu Pei, and Zhai's father said, "This Xiaohu brought a good tea, said ......"

He suddenly felt that it was not quite right to mention Ying Hu at this time, so he laughed dryly twice. Mother Zhai brought up the fruit again and said with a smile, "Eat the fruit."

Xingchen Di thought it was just as he had guessed, his parents were very different to Xu Pei and Ying Hu, when Ying Hu came they were only enthusiastic, not so polite and awkward as now.

But Zhai father, as an old-school straight man, at this time still came out with a great general's demeanor, and he asked calmly with the air of an elder: "Has Xiao Pei eaten?"

"He came after a birthday party." Xingchen Di said.

"Oh, yeah?" Father Zhai picked up his cup of tea and also took a sip, then looked at Xu Pei : "Have some tea, have some tea."

Xu Pei also picked up his cup of tea and took a sip.

Tea is good tea, his eyes fell on the tea box next to the tea box, silver and white, very delicate, carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.

It seems that Ying Hu has put in a lot of effort this time.

There is also a lot of fruit at home, with several baskets piled up next to the refrigerator.

The four of them fell into a short silence. Xingchen Di was originally very comfortable, but the atmosphere was also made a little awkward up.

"Auntie and uncle are in good health, right?" Xu Pei suddenly asked.

"It's all pretty good." Papa Zhai said, "How are you doing now? I heard you weren't sick while you were in North City?"

"That's not him." Xingchen Di said.

Father Zhai snapped, "Then I misremembered."

"He's got frostbite on his hands, right?" Mother Zhai said.

"It's all good already." Xu Pei said.

"That's good, that's good." Papa Zhai said.

Xingchen Di It's rare to see Zhai's father so embarrassed.

He's going to take the plunge himself.

He then asked Xu Pei: "Have you packed your bags yet? Have you seen the notice sent by the program team?"

Xu Pei said, "I packed up yesterday. What about you?"

"I'm still a little short."

"He brought a lot more stuff this time," said Zhai's mother, "two more boxes than last time."

In South City, they mainly wear T-shirts and occasionally wear a jacket when it is cold, while in North City, it is freezing cold and they wear down jackets in and out. According to Ying Hu, he brought more than 20 sets of clothes, and he had to wear two sets a day.

"How many days will you be recording this time?" Zhai's father asked.

"It seems to be tentatively six days." Xu Pei answered seriously.

"So you've taken care of all your work, right?" Father Zhai asked again.

"It's all arranged in advance." Xu Pei says, "and the remaining part can be handled remotely."

Zhai's father then asked him about a topic of particular interest to middle-aged men, "I heard that you are in the stock fund business and are doing well?"

"Yes, I'm in the fund business, and I've done okay this year." Xu Pei says modestly.

"He's number one for the year." Xingchen Di said, "This year's earnings were like 120."

Zhai's father was surprised and said, "Then you are very good, the market can not be this year."

When it comes to stocks and funds, one of the favorite topics of middle-aged men, Zhai's father's box opened up, saying that this year's stock market shock, his colleagues have lost a lot of how much, and then talk about the domestic economic situation, the global economic situation, and began to talk about it. He usually likes to study stocks and pay attention to current affairs and politics, and Xu Pei is a professional in finance, so his eyes are naturally different, and Zhai's father and Xu Pei chatted for a while, and his eyes lit up.

That is the admiration of men for men, the appreciation of elders for juniors!

When Zhai's mother went to the kitchen to cut cantaloupe, Xingchen Di went over to help, and through the glass door she heard Xu Pei's unhurried speech and Zhai's father saying "yes, yes, yes" sometimes with excitement and sometimes with emotion.

Zhai's mother said, "Your father has found a soulmate this time, there are people who talk to him about economics."

Unlike the last hasty meeting, this time Zhai's father and Xu Pei had a great time talking, and before they knew it, they had talked for an hour and a half, but Zhai's mother politely reminded him that it was too late. Zhai's father wanted to see Xu Pei out, but Xu Pei smiled and said, "You don't have to do that."

"It's okay, I'll walk you downstairs." Papa Zhai said.

Zhai's mother tugged on his arm, "Then we won't send you off, Xingchen, you send off."

They both watched Xu Pei and Xingchen Di enter the elevator, and when the elevator doors closed, Zhai's father went back inside and closed the door, saying, "This kid is good."

Mother Zhai said, "I can see that you like him."

"Really nice. Educated, polite, and honest." Zhai's father commented, "The personality doesn't seem to be that stuffy either."

Older fathers have their own set of rules to look at their son-in-law, they generally do not look too much into the family looks, more to see whether their temperament, people have no ability.

Xu Pei clearly has a temper for him and has the skills!

"He this work is good, ah, earn more, and is a serious job, but also stable ...... character is also stable." Zhai father said again.

Putting aside the emotional factor, stability, is the most important thing to him.

"Of course, the most important thing is that the stars themselves should like it."

The other party is Xingchen Di's object first and his son-in-law second.

"Do you think Xingchen likes him?" Papa Zhai asked.

Zhai's mother thought about it and said, "It seems to have a hint than Xiaohu. But whether Xingchen likes him or not does not say, he obviously likes Xingchen very much."

Xingchen Di's eyes are all lit up.

The rain outside has stopped, Xu Pei and Xingchen Di went out of the neighborhood together, his pace light, his mood lighter.

The visit was obviously a success, and Zhai's father clearly liked him.

It was already late at night and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road. Xingchen Di took him to the car, took the umbrella and said, "Be safe on the road."

Xu Pei said, "Ying Hu is coming to pick you up tomorrow, right?"

"And Nuo Wen, the three of us should go to the airport together." Xingchen Di said. Xingchen Di said, "What time did the program team give you notice?"

"This time there is no order, we all go together." Xu Pei said. Xu Pei said, "It seems that this time we don't divide the houses, we all live together in a group dormitory."

Xingchen Di froze for a moment.

He doesn't know.

I can't believe it's a group home!

The program team is also too good at it!

God, he can't even sleep at night idly, right?

"You don't know?"

"They didn't tell me." Xingchen Di said.

Xu Pei said, "I guess it's the program team's fault for not telling you on purpose."

Xingchen Di laughed out helplessly and said, "Okay."

The two stood face to face for a while, a wind blew, the leaves rustled down water droplets. Xingchen Di said, "You get in the car."

Xu Pei did not move.

He really didn't want to leave.

He can now appreciate the love scenes in the film and television drama. Those repeatedly you send me I send you, or obviously meet every day, back to the dormitory floor still clinging to the scene.

I don't want to leave, I always want to stay a little longer.

His thoughts, Xingchen Di how will not know it. Jiang Jin attacked in love are sticky dogs.

Xu Pei didn't find a reason to stay and didn't want to leave, so he just stood there and smiled.

"Hurry up." Xingchen Di said, "Don't get tired of it."
