Chapter 669: A New Omen?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pei Song seemed to have been struck by something and remembered why he bought this house back then.
Other people bought houses here because they wanted to enter high society. Who would have thought that the two brothers of the Pei family thought it was cozy.
That was true. Since Pei Huai and Pei Song were young, they had never lived in a small apartment.
There weren’t many rooms. It was just right for two people.
At that time, Pei Song had not yet met Sonya, and Pei Huai had not met Su Ji, but the two of them inexplicably bought their ideal family house.
This matter was considered normal to Pei Song. After all, although he did not have any long term female companions back then, he did not reject girls who expressed their feelings for him. He respected women and would not embarrass them.
However, Pei Huai bought a house because it was cozy. This was definitely something that many could not understand.
At that time, other than Shen Mu, no one was able to get close to him.
At that time, Shen Mu was considered to be the most special person around the
CEO.
“You have a girl you like?” Pei Song probed him.
Pei Huai said no.
“Then you’re just preparing for the future?”
Pei Huai replied, “maybe.”
At that time, he only had a very feeling in his heart, and he could not tell where it came from.
However, he tapped on the floor plan on the table and said to Pei Song with certainty, “if that person appears one day, I will hang a portrait of her here in the living room.”
The location he mentioned at that time was the location where Su Ji’s portrait appeared.
It was as if he had predicted everything, but the only thing he did not expect was that he would hang such a big…
Su Ji’s wounds had yet to heal, so no one drank today. Pei Song and Cao Zhuzhu went downstairs at around three in the afternoon.
Su Ji leaned against the door and watched them go downstairs in the iron box invented by modern people.
“The corridor is windy.”
Pei Huai’s deep and gentle voice came from the living room. Su Ji came back to her senses and turned to look at him.
He was in the living room, using a computer. He had changed into a set of gray loungewear. It was very different from his usual appearance when he wore a suit and tie. The sharp edges were smoothed out, and even the lights on his facial features became gentle.
‘ ..” Su Ji was reminded by him and walked into the house. Aunt Gong smiled like a bystander and came over to close the door for her. “Second Master is family. Ms. Su, you don’t have to send him off. You’ll meet them regularly.” Pei Song and Cao Zhuzhu left, leaving only the two of them in the room.
And Aunt Gong.
The feeling was very different from when she was at the Pei family’s. It was also different from when she was at Pei Huai’s house next to the Xu family’s house.
Perhaps this was the sense of coziness that Pei Huai had mentioned.
The apartment seemed to have a kind of…the solitude of two people living together…
Aunt Gong returned to the kitchen to work and automatically added an invisibility buff to herself.
Pei Huai’s computer was placed on the coffee table. He sat on the sofa with Su Ji’s giant portrait hanging behind him. He looked away from the computer screen and rested his elbows on his knees. He asked Su Ji,” what do you want to do later?”
Su Ji thought, “read the script.”
Actually, she would be doing somersaults in the yard at this time, but she felt that telling the truth would ruin her image.
Pei Huai patted the sofa beside her. “Sit here with me?”
Su Ji shrugged and looked around the house again. They were living together, and he was using the computer in the living room. It would be weird for her to go to another room to read the script, so she agreed.
Su Ji sat cross-legged next to him, the script rolled up in her hand, and her bent right knee naturally rested on his lap.
The two of them were doing their own things, and the room was quiet.
There was no laughter from Old Master Pei, no Pei Xingxing’s short legs, and no random Madam Du who would bring them a bowl of bird’s nest soup or a small cake.
At first, Su Ji was not used to it and felt a little awkward, but that feeling only lasted for a short time.
Pei Huai’s breathing was very close to her, and Su Ji quickly learned to enjoy the silence.
The afterglow of the setting sun elongated their shadows. The orange light shone on the script that was spread out on Su Ji’s lap.
At that moment, she thought that if Pei Huai really did not let her go after she recovered, it would not be a big deal.
However, at this moment, her vision suddenly blurred, like a snowflake appearing on an old television.
She shook her head and her vision slowly returned.
Was there an omen?
But this time, she did not see anything.
Although she was quiet, Pei Huai still noticed her movements. “Are your eyes hurting from reading for too long?”
Su Ji was stunned. “Maybe…”
Pei Huai took the script from her hand, marked the page she saw, closed it, and threw it back onto the coffee table.
He closed his laptop and pushed it to the side.
It was getting dark. He pressed two buttons on the remote control. The curved screen TV in front of the opposite wall was put away, and the huge curtain of the projector fell from the ceiling.
He looked at the distance for a few hours and rested his eyes.
He picked a movie.
The projector looked magnificent.
“It’s good to live in the modern world.” Pei Huai turned his head and saw her expression when she saw the projector. He smiled lightly. “Right?”
Su Ji nodded. “I’ll buy one for Madam Xu too.”
Pei Huai said, “let me do it for my future mother-in-law.”
Su Ji ate a lot at noon and did not feel like eating at night. Pei Huai asked Aunt Gong to prepare some light snacks.
Su Ji ate some while watching the movie.
Every time she picked up a snack and put it into her mouth, Pei Huai’s gaze would subconsciously follow her. Pei Huai looked disappointed when Su Ji put down the snack when she was too engrossed in the movie.
The sun had completely set, and the entire floor-to-ceiling window was covered in a deep blue dusk. Thousands of buildings were lit up.
From the height of the 57th floor, one can see almost half of the city.
The magnificent Dujiang River fell into their field of vision and became a winding stroke in the painting.
It was past eleven at night, and Su Ji was still lying on the sofa.
Half an hour ago, Pei Huai entered the bedroom to take a shower. From then on, Su Ji did not pay attention to a single word of what was on TV.
Aunt Gong came over to clean up. “It’s your first day here. You must be tired. Do you want to go back to your room to rest?”
Su Ji stared at the screen and raised the remote control. “I usually sleep very late. Let him sleep first.”
However, just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door opening, the sound of the water stopping, and the sound of a man walking towards her in his slippers..
