Chapter 12 You Promise Me

As we drank each other, the heavy cheeks were stained with two blushes, and paired with a pair of water-filled cut-out pupils, I actually felt pity for him.

She raised her glass of wine in toast to Su Yan, stood up slightly, and stared at Pei Xiao with burning eyes.

"This sister is quite new. I've never seen her before."

The love rival is extremely jealous when he meets her, and everyone around him is looking at the excitement.

Su Yan didn't want to get involved in this whirlpool, but he could only lower his eyelids and accept it.

"I'll drink it for her."

Before she could react, the wine glass in her hand had been taken away.

Watching the man lift the wine glass, the glass bottomed out as his Adam's apple rolled.

Shen Xi wanted to embarrass Su Yan, but unexpectedly gave Pei Xiao a chance to save her.

The hand she held tightly to the wine glass turned slightly white from exertion, and the decent smile she kept on her face froze for a moment.

"I respect the new sister, not you, Ah Xiao."

After so many years, this title belongs to her alone.

Even if Su Yan is his new love, she will still add fuel to the fire.

However, there was no response from Pei Xiao.

After eating the whole meal, Su Yan felt as if he had been exercising crazily in the gym for three hours, and his whole body was sore.

She had been trying to find a chance to slip away, but Pei Xiao refused to give her a gap, and kept his warm hands around her lower back.

Even though there were many people in between, she could still be keenly aware of Shen Xi's murderous look that was about to eat her up.

It started to rain lightly outside the window, and everyone left one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only three people were left.

It looked like he was going home in the rain. Su Yan was about to say goodbye when he noticed a tightness behind him.

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

Chen Xi never thought that Pei Xiao would actually say goodbye to a woman in her presence, but she didn't want to get angry. She kept her eyes on their every move, and her hands under the table were about to twist the gauze fabric of the skirt. break.

"No ... "

Before he could even open his mouth to refuse, Pei Xiao's wide coat pressed down his chest, and a warm feeling flowed into his heart. Su Yan forgot to refuse for a moment.

He had saved me several times, helped me with lawsuits, and just now he blocked the wine for me. Su Yan's heart was beating like a deer.

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her. His brows were always slightly wrinkled, his eyes were separated by his high nose bridge, and his long eyelashes fell under his eyes, giving him a hint of melancholy for no reason.

He always smiled cynically, but she could always sense something else in his unfathomable eyes.

"Ah Xiao!"

When he was about to reach the door, a clear voice came from behind him, breaking Su Yan's fantasy.

The arms around her tightened, and the two of them stopped where they were.

There was a continuous rain curtain ahead, and Su Yan sighed silently in his heart.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Shen Xi could no longer maintain her original aloof persona, and put her arm around Pei Xiao affectionately, looking up at him with a smile.

"What's up?"

Her response was still only indifference.

There was mist in her eyes, and her voice sounded like she was crying, but her face still pretended to be calm.

"Axiao, you promised me that you would send me home as long as it rains."

The sound of rain could be heard in Pei Xiao's ears. He remembered that that rainy night he had a high fever and it was Shen Xi who ran away and bought antipyretics from countless places.

At that time, her wet hair stuck to her forehead, and she carefully fed the medicine into his mouth while trembling all over.

It's not even half as magnificent as it is today.

"And my shoes have sheepskin soles, so they can't get wet."

In her memory, her eyes were blurry with tears, and she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on her face. She begged herself to take the medicine and not to get into trouble.

Just think of it as shielding her from the rain that day.

"You go back first."

Su Yan naturally understood his identity. After nodding in agreement, he rushed into the rainstorm.

She finally ran to the eaves of the shop opposite, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

He wiped the water off his body, took out his cell phone to hail a taxi, but found that his phone was out of battery.

Just when I was worrying, I heard laughter in front of me.

"Little beauty, didn't Pei Lu send you back?"

"It's rare for Pei Lu to be so ungentlemanly."

It was the people at the dinner table just now. They all looked so sloppy. She didn't want to have anything to do with such people.

"Shall we take you back?"

Su Luo's frame-up made her hostile to strangers. She shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, and rushed into the rain again.

It was a long way from home, so Su Yan could only try his luck to see if he could catch a taxi.

...

"I called a car for you. It will be there in a moment."

After Pei Xiao took out his cell phone to call a taxi, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait."

Shen Xi directly hugged him from behind, wrapping her two lotus arms around his waist, tightening them tighter and tighter.

"Axiao, I have always missed this feeling."

Memories that had been suppressed for a long time came to his mind, and Pei Xiao stayed in place as if he were a statue.

"What happened at the beginning was my fault, but you don't know that I have my own reasons."

She leaned gently on his generous back, as if a drifting boat had found a harbor where she could rely.

"I have suffered a lot after living abroad for many years. Ah Xiao, it's time for me to pay back the debt I owe."

Although she didn't say it clearly, Pei Xiao understood what she meant.

As for his heart, even he himself has not asked about it for a long time.

"I came back this time just for you."

Seeing that Pei Xiao didn't respond, Shen Xi could only speak clearly.

"Axiao, we were so happy before, do you still remember? You had just graduated at that time and found an internship at a law firm without relying on your uncle's help."

Those days were the darkest moments in Pei Xiao's life. If Shen Xi hadn't been by his side, he would have given up long ago.

At that time, Shen Xi was like a little sun constantly sending warmth to him. When he was at his lowest, she burned her best youth to light the way forward for him.

Nowadays, she is tall and tall, with exquisite makeup and dazzling jewelry, but he still feels guilty.

Those times failed to give her the best.

"It's getting cold, you should go back early."

It’s just that time flies, and not all regrets can be made up for.

The beauty between them can only remain in the past.

Pei Xiao gently broke away from her arms and turned to face her, with no expression on his face.

For the first time, Shen Xi felt that the man in front of her was so strange. It seemed that he was no longer the boy who would try his best to make her happy.

Holding up his umbrella, Pei Xiao helped her open the car door and put her in the car. After watching the car disappear, he turned around to look for Su Yan.

There was no sign of her at the door. He looked up and saw a few companions smoking in a corner not far away. He walked over and asked.

"What about her?"

Several people naturally knew who he was talking about, and one of them smiled and extended his hand to the people around him.

"I won, one thousand yuan, transfer the money!"

The person who took out his cell phone transferred the money reluctantly with a pout and complained to Pei Xiao.

"She wanted to leave on her own. It has nothing to do with us. It's so unlucky. How could you be so ... "
