Chapter 125: CH 125

When Pei Xu got out of the car, Di Xingchen tilted the umbrella in his hand towards him. The rain was falling a little thickly and the wind was blowing, wetting both their shoulders.

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

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

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

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

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

"Why didn't you get out of the car since you're here?" Di Xingchen asked.

If he hadn't had the whim to look from car to car, they probably wouldn't have met.

Pei Xu said, "Just wanted to come downstairs and have a look."

Pei Xu didn't actually intend to come.

Having made it to this last day, he had to leave for the West Side tomorrow, so he had dinner, and by some miracle he drove his car here. He actually knew that Hu Ying was coming here, and Zhou Lan had called him to tell him about it.

He didn't mean to get involved with Hu Ying, either in the past at the North City Station or in the next one at the West City Station, which was probably enough for Di Xingchen.

He only thought to look at it from afar.

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

His voice was soft, the wind was blowing and the rain was noisy, almost scattering into the storm. He was just coming downstairs to have a look, and he had seen you anyway. These ordinary words were uttered with a sincere sense of humility, and Pei Xu, who was so gentle and honest, aroused Di Xingchen's compassion.

"No, you can rest early." Pei Xu said.

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

Di Xingchen looked back and saw that it was Papa Zhai.

Papa Zhai, holding his umbrella, looks in surprise at the man behind him.

Pei Xu took the lead in snapping back to attention and hurriedly stood upright, bending slightly and saying, "Hello, Uncle."

Papa Zhai came a little closer and laughed, "It's Little Pei, I was just saying, why does it look so familiar?"

Di Xingchen, slightly embarrassed, asked, "Why are you down here?"

Papa Zhai said, "Your mother said he wants to cook you some eight-pot porridge tomorrow, I'll come down and buy some dates ...... Little Pei is just coming, right, you don't want people standing around outside."

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

Papa Zhai smiled, "You're here, come up and have a seat, we've just moved into a new home, you guys go up first, I'm going to the supermarket to do some shopping."

Papa Zhai said and headed for the small supermarket next door.

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

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

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

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

"I'll buy a bouquet of flowers then. You've just moved." Pei Xu was immediately energised: "Why don't you come with me and I'll be back later? I don't want to come empty-handed."

Di Xingchen had to say, "There's a florist just around the corner up ahead."

They were walking together towards the flower shop when Pei Xu suddenly reached out and took hold of the handle of the umbrella, Di Xingchen thought he was going to take the umbrella from him, but instead Pei Xu just took hold of the umbrella and gently pushed it towards him, then held it and never let go.

He held it in

As he emerges from under the bushes, the rain is a little thinner, the ground is flooded with wet light and the occasional car passes by. The umbrella is tilted much to his side, and Pei Xu's other side of his body is drenched. Di Xingchen smells the familiar scent of mint again, this time faint and cold, tinged with the dampness of the rain. He glanced at Pei Xu's hands and said, "Your frostbite has improved in the past two days, hasn't it?"

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

Di Xingchen burst out laughing at that.

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

Di Xingchen suddenly came up with a storyline, it is said that all jjwxc male protagonists will have a doctor friend who is on call 24 hours a day and will also say "you should also be moderate" when the male protagonist is overdoing it.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

I didn't think it was possible!

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

"Right."

Di Xingchen smiles and looks at Pei Xu.

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

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

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

With that he lifted his other hand and showed him that the redness on the back of it had also gone down and it was back to its usual white appearance.

Pei Xu drops his hand and glances again at Di Xingchen, who is still smiling, his ears slightly flushed, the rain drizzling onto his hanging hand, cold and icy.

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

Di Xingchen stopped laughing as soon as he heard this, and the atmosphere could be stretched.

Papa Zhai had just entered the supermarket when he called Mother Zhai: "Pei Xu is here and will be coming to our house, so pack up quickly."

Mother Zhai asked in amazement, " Pei Xu? He's here too?"

"I just came out and saw him talking to Xingchen in front of the block. No more talk, I'll go up after I've bought something."

After hanging up the phone, Mother Zhai immediately tidied up the coffee table and the sofa, but Pei Xu suddenly came to the door and made her nervous.

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

she opened the door to see Pei Xu greeting his with a good-natured nod, "Good evening, Auntie."

Cool in temperament, shy in smile, aristocratic and honest!

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

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

Pei Xu immediately handed over the flowers to Mother Zhai, who took them and said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has ever given me flowers. It's beautiful!"

Mother Zhai was obviously a bit nervous too, his voice was a bit louder than usual and he was a bit deliberately happy. Di Xingchen smiled and took a pair of unworn slippers out of the shoe cupboard, new slippers, both of which were attached to each other by a tag, and asked Mother Zhai, "Where are the scissors?"

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

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

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

Pei Xu then took off his leather shoes and changed into them.

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

"Attending a relative's birthday party." Pei Xu said.

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

Mother Zhai is holding the flowers and watching Di Xingchen and Pei Xu talk.

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

she looked on with a smile, bumping into Pei Xu's gaze, and said with a grin, "Come on in."

Pei Xu is dressed formally today, in a black suit with a white shirt and black socks, and Di Xingchen has found him a pair of black slippers.

The contrast between Hu Ying's bright colours and his young and fashionable clothes is huge, and the two are like one ice and one fire. I can't blame her for falling in love with one at a glance, they are both too handsome and too good, and you don't find young people of this calibre in real life.

Not to mention the filters on the TV.

"Have you lost a bit of weight?" she asked Pei Xu.

Pei Xu smiles and says, "A little bit."

"You sit you sit." Mother Zhai said as he put down the flowers.

Pei Xu had just sat down when he heard the door open. Papa Zhai had come back from his shopping.

Pei Xu immediately stood up again.

Di Xingchen looks back at Pei Xu, he feels that Pei Xu is even more nervous than the last time he was here, but Pei Xu is a man who holds himself together in front of others, Di Xingchen wants to laugh at the way he purses his lips and pretends to be calm, Pei Xu notices his gaze, looks at him and hurries to greet Papa Zhai.

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

Papa Zhai puts his purchases down and sits down with a light cough.

Pei Xu is now sitting down.

Di Xingchen poured a cup of tea for Pei Xu and Papa Zhai said, "This Little Hu brought a good tea, it says ......"

In the middle of the sentence he suddenly felt that it was not the right time to mention Hu Ying, so he laughed dryly. Mother Zhai brought up the fruit again and said with a smile, "Eat the fruit."

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

But Papa Zhai, being the old-fashioned straight man that he is, still had the grace to ask calmly, with the air of an elder, "Has Little Pei eaten yet?"

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

"Oh, yeah?" Papa Zhai picked up his cup of tea and took a sip as well, then looked to Pei Xu: "Have some tea and drink it."

Pei Xu also takes a sip from his cup of tea.

The tea was good and his eyes fell on the tea box next to him, which was silver and white and exquisite, carved with dragon and phoenix designs.

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

There is also a lot of fruit in the house, with several baskets piled up next to the fridge.

A short silence fell over the four of them. Di Xingchen, who had been very comfortable, was made to feel a little awkward by the atmosphere.

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

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

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

Papa Zhai snapped, "I misremembered then."

"He's got frostbite on his hands, isn't he?" Mother Zhai said.

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

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

Di Xingchen has rarely seen Papa Zhai so embarrassed.

He's going to take the plunge himself.

He then asked Pei Xu: "Have you packed your bags yet? Did you see the notice from the programme team?"

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

"I'm not even close."

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

In the South City, they mainly wear t-shirts and occasionally a jacket is enough when it's cold, and in the North City, it's freezing cold, so they wear down jackets in and out, but the West City is different, it's a vast area with a big temperature difference between different areas, but the overall temperature is not too high and not too low, so it's suitable for a costume show, and the crew told them to dress up brightly. "How many days are you recording this time?" Papa Zhai asks.

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

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

"It's all arranged in advance." Pei Xu says, "The remaining part can also be handled remotely." Papa Zhai then asks him about a topic of particular interest to middle-aged men: "I hear you're in equity funds and doing well?"

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

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

Papa Zhai was surprised when he said, "So you're very good, the market is not good this year."

When the topic of stocks and funds came up, which is one of the favourite topics of middle-aged men, Papa Zhai's mouth opened up, saying that his colleagues had lost a lot of money due to the stock market turmoil this year, and then talking about the domestic economic situation and the global economic situation. He usually likes to study stocks and pay attention to current affairs and politics, while Pei Xu is a finance professional and naturally has a different perspective.

It was the admiration of men for men, of elders for juniors!

Mother Zhai goes to the kitchen to cut the cantaloupe and Di Xingchen goes to help. Through the glass door, we hear Pei Xu's unhurried speech and Papa Zhai's sometimes excited and sometimes emotional "yes, yes, yes".

Mother Zhai said, "Your father has found his soulmate, someone with whom he can talk about economics."

Unlike the previous meeting, this time Papa Zhai and Pei Xu had a great time talking, and before they knew it, they had talked for an hour and a half. Papa Zhai was not finished and wanted to see Pei Xu out, but Pei Xu smiled and said, "You don't have to."

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

Mother Zhai gave him a tug on the arm: "Then we won't see you off, Xingchen, you see him off."

They both watched as Pei Xu and Di Xingchen got into the lift, the doors closed and Papa Zhai went back inside and closed the door saying, "That's a nice boy."

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

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

Older husbands have their own set of rules when looking at their son-in-law, they generally don't look at such things as family background and looks, but rather whether they are right for their temperament and whether the person is capable.

Pei Xu clearly has a temper for him and has it in spades!

"It's a good job for him, he earns a lot and it's a proper job and it's also stable ...... personality." Papa Zhai added.

Emotional factors aside, stability, is the thing he values most.

"Of course, the most important thing is that Xingchen herself likes it."

The other party is firstly the object of Di Xingchen and secondly his son-in-law.

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

Mother Zhai thought about it and said, "He seems to have more of a head start than Little Hu. But whether Xingchen likes him or not doesn't matter, he obviously likes Xingchen."

The look in Di Xingchen's eyes is all light.

The rain has stopped outside and Pei Xu and Di Xingchen leave the neighbourhood together, his pace lighter and his mood lighter.

The visit was clearly a success and Papa Zhai clearly liked him.

It was late at night and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road. Di Xingchen walks him to his car, holding an umbrella and saying, "Be safe on the road."

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

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

"This time there is no order of priority, we are all going together." says Pei Xu. Pei Xu said, "It seems that this time there will be no house sharing, we will all live together in a group dormitory."

Di Xingchen froze for a moment.

He doesn't know.

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

The crew is so good at this too!

God, he can't even sleep at night without it, can he?

"You don't know?"

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

Pei Xu then said, "I guess it was a trick by the programme team to not tell you on purpose."

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

As they stood facing each other for a while, a gust of wind blew and the leaves rustled down with droplets of water. Di Xingchen said, "Get in the car."

Pei Xu, however, did not move.

He didn't really want to leave.

He can now relate to the meaty love scenes in movies and dramas. Those scenes where you see me off and I see you off, or where we see each other every day, and we still cling to each other when we get back to the dormitory.

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

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're thinking, and how Di Xingchen doesn't know that. jjwxc 攻了恋爱都是粘人狗。

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

"Hurry up." Di Xingchen said, "Don't get bored."
