Chapter 14 I’m Waiting for You

Pei Xiao drove to Shen Xifa's address.

He saw her thin figure sitting alone on the steps, her hands constantly rubbing her ankles.

"Are you okay?"

He carefully lifted her foot, which was already red and swollen.

He opened the spray he just bought at the hospital and lightly sprayed it on her feet.

" Hiss— "

Not sure if it was cold or painful, Shen Xi bit her lower lip tightly and clenched her fists.

He remembered that she was most afraid of pain and taking medicine.

In the past, he always coaxed her to take painkillers. He would exhale and exhale again every time he took the medicine, for fear that she would be nervous.

But now he can't think of anything like this.

"Does it hurt?"

She also seemed to be competing with herself, refusing to scream.

"It doesn't hurt ... that's weird."

Sure enough, the Shen Xi he knew was still the same, unchanged at all.

"You never came home?"

Contacting herself at this time means that she stayed here all night last night.

Only then did Pei Xiao notice that it was a park. He remembered that they often came there at that time.

Every ray of evening breeze in the park witnessed their sweetness at that time.

It's a pity that the wind has dispersed long ago.

"Do you remember this place?"

Seeing that she wanted to bring up old things again, he quickly interrupted.

"I'll take you back, you need to rest now."

Shen Xi didn't refute and stretched out his arms directly.

Pei Xiao paused for a moment, then picked her up. She was heavier than Su Yan, but not heavy.

Lying in his arms, like a cunning cat.

"Am I fat?"

"No."

She deliberately leaned close to his Adam's apple and exhaled gently. She used to like to tease him like this.

But now he is much colder than before, and he is always indifferent to his teasing.

Back in the car, he deliberately put her in the back seat, but she hugged her neck tightly.

"I want to sit in the front. I always sit in the front."

He didn't want to argue too much with her, so he just put her in the passenger seat.

When he helped her fasten her seat belt, the two of them moved closer unconsciously, and he could feel her nervousness.

As the car drove slowly on the road, Shen Xi thought of Su Yan who appeared at the dinner table last night.

With a woman's intuition, she could sense that the person who appeared this time was unusual.

It would be different for Pei Xiao to have a woman appear when he met him for the first time after returning to China.

"Who was that sister to you yesterday?"

She is not a person who hides things, and what can be investigated is superficial.

No matter how miserable that person is, as long as Pei Xiao likes him, others will give him face.

There was only silence in response to her.

"Axiao, answer me."

The more silent she is, the more frightened she is. Could it be that he is really tempted?

"None of your business."

The car was parked downstairs of Shen's house. He had walked this road countless times, but he hadn't been there for a long time.

"You still remember my family!"

The fact that he sent her home without asking or turning on the navigation system still made Shen Xi very happy.

This proves that she still has herself in her heart.

"Let's go upstairs."

"How can I get up like this? You hug me."

With no other choice, Pei Xiao could only compromise and carry Shen Xi upstairs.

As soon as he entered the door, he was warmly welcomed by the two elders of the Shen family.

"Old man, look who sent your daughter here!"

Shen Junshan saw that his precious daughter had not come back all night, and was sitting on the sofa waiting for her to come back to investigate.

Hearing what his wife Zhou Nianci said, he also became curious.

"uncle and auntie."

After putting Shen Xi on the sofa and seeing that it was the second elder of the Shen family, Pei Xiao could still look good no matter how unhappy he felt.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Pei, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Xiao Xi is also back this time. You have to take her everywhere to play."

Zhou Nianci was very satisfied with the man in front of him. He served him fresh tea and worked for him enthusiastically.

"Xiao Pei, I feel relieved that Xiao Xi was with you last night."

Seeing that the two of them did not mention anything about what happened before, and arranged things between themselves and Shen Xi without blushing or heartbeat, Pei Xiao felt angry in his heart, but did not show it.

"Dad, Mom, Ah Xiao is very tired after carrying me upstairs. You should go back and rest quickly."

Shen Xi drove her parents back to the room, leaving the two of them alone.

"Axiao, hold me in your arms and rest in the room."

She understands that to test whether a man has forgotten herself, only his body is the most honest.

Pei Xiao followed her wishes and picked her up horizontally.

Following Shen Xi's instructions, he came to her room and put her on the bed. When he was about to get up, she was forcefully taken to the bed.

He didn't have time to react, and his whole body was pressed against her.

Afraid of really hurting her, Pei Xiao wanted to get up quickly, but she hugged her neck tightly.

"Can you put me to sleep? Just like before?"

"Let go."

If he was still nostalgic for the memories between them just now, he is completely sober now.

"What if I don't let go?"

His voice was a little cold, but Shen Xi still wanted to take a gamble.

Just bet he doesn't have no self at all in his heart.

"I gotta go."

There was no fluctuation in Pei Xiao's voice.

Shen Xi was also afraid that if he pushed too hard, it would not work, so he immediately let go.

"Thank you for sending me back."

She lay on the bed and turned her back to prevent him from seeing her sadness.

When Pei Xiao saw the obvious butterfly bones under her thin clothes, he still couldn't help but help her tuck the quilt and left quickly.

After getting back in the car, Pei Xiao wanted to go home and catch up on some sleep, but at the next traffic light, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the hospital.

He knew that Su Yan was alone in the hospital with no one to take care of him. If something happened again, no one would pay his legal fees.

I bought some porridge at the entrance of the hospital. When I came upstairs, I found a woman sitting next to Su Yan, chattering away.

"Yanyan, is mom causing you trouble?"

"Yanyan, is there anyone willing to help with your father's matter? Have you found a lawyer?"

"Yanyan, did your cousin give you any trouble ... "

As he talked, the woman lay on the bed, covering her face and crying, her shoulders shaking constantly.

Su Yan, who looked weak but showed no sign of boredom, patted the woman's back thoughtfully and comforted her softly.

"I don't know about anyone else, but I bought you porridge."

When Shen Xiaoyun saw the sound, she immediately raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with vigilance.

"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, don't even think about hurting my family Yanyan, I won't let you lay a finger on her!"

Su Yan saw something was wrong and quickly explained.

"Mom, this is Pei Lu, the lawyer in charge of dad's case."

Shen Xiaoyun tilted her head and looked at Pei Xiao, but there was still some doubt in her eyes.

"Are you Bingsheng's lawyer?"

She clutched his sleeve tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw and kept questioning him.

"When will Bingsheng come out? He is innocent, you must save him!"

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down, and Pei Xiao quickly helped her up.

Hesitating that she was too excited, the medical staff came over and gave her a sedative, and she lay on the bed next to Su Yan.
