Pei Jiao did not respond and looked at Beike silently for a long time.
“The frown is so deep. Are you worried that I won’t be able to keep my promise to bring him back to you, or don’t you trust me to do what I say?” It was an interrogative tone, as well as a self-mockery.
Pei Jiao shook her head. “I’m not worried or distrustful. I want to go.”
Beike was about to say something when Pei Jiao interrupted him. “l know you won’t agree. You think that I’ll cause trouble if I go, but when you leave, I’ll only make you worse if I follow you secretly.” Beike laughed angrily. “So you’re considering my feelings?”
“Yes.” Pei Jiao nodded. “Will you take me?” Beike shook his head. “No.”
Pei Jiao turned around. “Then forget it.”
“You said forget it, but once I leave, you’ll think of all sorts of ways to follow.
Pei Jiao, oh Pei Jiao, I really owe you in my previous life.”
Pei Jiao said frankly, “You owe me.”
Beike did not deny it. Yes, he was the one who caused all the trouble. Not only did he implicate Pei Jiao, but he also implicated Wei Yu. He implicated too many people.
In the end, Beike still accommodated Pei Jiao. “l used to spoil you too much. This time, I won’t accommodate you. Who knows how you’ll nag me in the future? I don’t want to have calluses on my ears at such a young age.”
Pei Jiao immediately turned around and the smile on her face widened. “Really?”
Beike forcefully swallowed the words ‘when have I ever lied?’. Forget it, he still lied. But even if it wasn’t easy to lie this time, he still had to lie to him. He couldn’t let her take the risk with him.
Beike specially mentioned, “l only guarantee your safety. I can’t guarantee anything else.” As he said this, Beike glanced at Pei Jiao’s stomach, his intentions clear.
Pei Jiao did not expect him to be very magnanimous to the little guy in her stomach. “l just want to see you bring Wei Yu back with my own eyes. I won’t cause you trouble, including this in my stomach.”
Beike smirked. “I’ll pick you up at eight sharp. Have a good rest first.”
“Alright.”
Pei Jiao watched Beike leave until the door closed. She smiled in relief.
The wind in Xingzhou was strong tonight, so strong that at one point the citizens felt that it was going to rain tonight. It was almost eight in the evening. Pei Jiao, who was not sleeping well, was woken up by a call. She suddenly sat up, thinking that it was a call from Beike.
She looked at her cell phone and realized that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment before answering. Slowly, she pressed the phone to her ear and took deep breaths to steady her breathing. “Hello.”
“Pei Jiao, it’s me.”
A familiar voice came from the receiver, making Pei Jiao feel dazed. It had only been a month, but she felt that she had not heard his voice for a long time!
She reached out and turned on the lamp. She looked at the clock under the lamp. It was ten minutes to eight. It was time for Beike to pick her up, but Wei Yu had actually contacted her at this time. Could it be that Beike had already brought Wei Yu out in advance?
Just as Pei Jiao was puzzled and did not say anything for a long time, Wei Yu’s voice sounded again. “I’m back.” Pei Jiao suddenly stood up. “You’re back?”
“I’m back,” Wei Yu repeated.
There was no emotion in his voice. It was calm and emotionless, making one feel distant. However, Pei Jiao had known him for so long and knew very well that it was Wei Yu’s voice. She gripped her cell phone tightly and asked,
“Where are you?”
On the phone, Wei Yu said, “I’m outside your door. You can see me when you open the door.”
Pei Jiao frowned. Wei Yu t s tone on the phone sounded too strange, but she thought that he must be very depressed after being locked in the laboratory for so long. She maintained the call and slowly walked to the door. She looked out through the peephole and saw that Wei Yu was really standing outside the door!
Pei Jiao opened the door and shouted in an urgent and uncertain tone, “Wei Yu, is that you?”
Was it him? Was this person she had seen after more than a month really Wei Yu?
Wei Yu, who had a wooden expression, smiled strangely at her when he saw her after the door opened. He slowly put away his cell phone and walked forward to hug Pei Jiao. “l missed you so much.”
This hug was extremely sudden. Pei Jiao was stunned at first, but then she felt his hands tighten around her, almost pulling her into his arms.
Pei Jiao’s intuition told her that there was something wrong with the person in front of her. But the face in front of her happened to be Wei Yu’s face.
Pei Jiao tried to push him away, but her current strength could not move him at all. She said with difficulty, “Wei Yu, let go first. 1 have something to say to you..”
