To rely on others is to promise each other

Chapter 47 Ablation

Due to his original family, Pei Shanqing never liked to make promises, but after meeting Jiang Yubai, he always wanted to repeat it again and again, describing the beautiful future to him, and vowed never to leave him.

Pei Shanqing's self-reflection is correct. Strictly speaking, he has no position to criticize what Jiang Yubai has done, because he himself has repeatedly broken the bottom line and made a series of unthinkable and unforgivable actions.

They both have double standards in this relationship, each secretly hiding the scabbed wounds, avoiding the hurt caused by the other, but they have been caught in endless self-blame and cannot extricate themselves.

Jiang Yubai didn't want these to be a reason to hinder them, and he didn't want to see Pei Shanqing upset because of it, so he looked into Pei Shanqing's eyes and tried to look calm and composed.

But the sound of the heartbeat betrayed him, and Pei Shanqing naturally heard it clearly. The two got closer and closer, and began to kiss intermittently. The sound of panting and water could be clearly heard in the quiet room.

When Jiang Yubai almost pulled Pei Shanqing's fastened belt loose, there were rustling footsteps at the door, followed by the click of the door lock being turned.

The roots of Pei Shanqing's ears were red, and he stood up quickly to straighten his clothes, while Jiang Yubai was not very respectable, with Pei Shanqing's smell mixed in, he pulled the quilt aside to block between his legs.

Pei Yi held the laptop in one hand and the packed lunch in the other, and asked, "Did you go to check it? Or did you say it later?"

"Go, there is no major problem with the nervous system, just stay in the hospital to observe the wound healing." Pei Shanqing said, "As long as he is emotionally stable, he should be discharged in half a month."

Pei Yi didn't say much, but it was obvious that he was in a good mood. He set up the bed table, put the lunch box in front of Jiang Yubai, and didn't forget to break off the chopsticks and stuff them into his hands.

After finishing all these neatly, Pei Yi went to tidy up another bed, intending to sit there for dinner with Pei Shanqing, but saw the clothes piled up at the foot of the bed.

Seeing that the color looked familiar, he looked up at Pei Shanqing again, just about to pick it up for comparison, and asked him if he had changed his clothes halfway.

"Wait, I forgot to pack up my clothes." Pei Shanqing quickly picked up the clothes and went to the bathroom.

When the sound of rushing water came, Pei Yi was confused, and turned his gaze to Jiang Yubai, who had no choice but to find an excuse to excuse him: "He accidentally knocked over the packing box when he was packing in the morning, and the rest The porridge got on his clothes, so I borrowed a set from him for a change of clothes."

"Oh." Pei Yi suddenly realized, and concentrated on tidying up again, "You look thinner than him, I didn't expect your clothes to be too big for him."

Jiang Yubai said, "Maybe I'm wearing loose clothes."

The two chatted one after another, and after Pei Yi unpacked the lunch box, Pei Shanqing also just soaked his clothes, made sure he wouldn't see or smell anything, and walked out of the bathroom.

Pei Shanqing flicked the drops of water from his hands, seemingly complaining unintentionally: "Dad, the box you bought this morning is not strong at all, and the soup is leaking."

Jiang Yubai gasped, and Pei Yi's movements suddenly stopped in mid-air. He used to be young and vigorous, so he naturally understood the twists and turns.

His eyes turned back and forth from the two of them, and finally stopped at Jiang Yubai's half-covered collar, and vaguely saw the clear tooth marks.

In Jiang Yubai's eyes that became meaningful after being full of probing, he raised his hand and pinched his collar embarrassingly. Pei Yi gave Pei Shanqing a hard look. If his gaze could be turned into a knife, he is probably already caught by now. Cut to pieces.

Pei Shanqing vaguely sensed that the storm was about to come, and they were all ready to be beaten in the next second, but Pei Yi suddenly told them to eat quickly.

This meal was frightening, Pei Yi had work to do for a while, so he just found time to come over to deliver food to the two of them, and left again after a while.

Pei Yi and Jiang Yubai said a few words, which meant "If Pei Shanqing bullies you, just tell me, I'll take care of him", Jiang Yubai suppressed his laughter, making it difficult for Pei Shanqing to sit or stand no.

Before leaving, Pei Yi dragged Pei Shanqing to the door uneasy, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "I know that this age group is easy to misfire, but Yue Bai's injury is not healed yet, how can you be here at this moment... "

Pei Yi couldn't say the following words, and turned into a look that hated iron and steel, making Pei Shanqing want to cry without tears, "Dad, I really don't."

"Nothing? You're still arguing with me!" Pei Yi didn't listen to his explanation at all, and settled the crime of coercion in his heart, "I understand that young people will play tricks, but you can't be so overindulgent! If you bully Yue Bai again, you will be punished." Go back to England!"

Pei Shanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to admit his mistake to Pei Yi, and after repeatedly promising not to "bully" Jiang Yubai, Pei Yi left angrily.

The first thing Pei Shanqing did after returning to the room was to ask the teacher for his crimes. Jiang Yubai had been prepared for a long time, and rushed over to hug him with blinking eyes, "Brother, I'm so sleepy, can you sleep with me for a while?"

"Don't pretend to me." Pei Shanqing moved his hand away a little bit, "Are you going to bed after reading my joke? I haven't cleaned you up yet."

Jiang Yubai said straightforwardly: "Uncle won't let you bully me."

"I don't know who is bullying whom?" Pei Shanqing lifted the quilt and stretched out his hand, "I just finished the training, and it became hard after holding it for a short while, Jiang Yubai, do you have sadistic tendencies? ?”

Jiang Yubai laughed and pressed Pei Shanqing on the bed with a little force, but he didn't move his clothes, "Maybe a little bit, after all, you look really good when you cry on the bed."

"Pervert..." Pei Shanqing complained in a low voice.

Jiang Yubai wrapped the two of them tightly with a quilt, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, and kissed his side cheek contentedly, "It's only for you, good afternoon, family."

"...Okay, good afternoon, be good."

After that, the days in the hospital were very ordinary. Pei Yi came to the hospital regularly to feed them, and did not stay in the ward at other times, leaving enough space for the two of them to get along with each other.

Jiang Yubai occasionally pestered Pei Shanqing for a kiss, but most of the time he held his hand quietly. Pei Shanqing would take him for a walk around, ignoring the reason for his admission, just like a newlywed couple in which one of them was sick and the other was in bed.

Jiang Yubai always felt that the time spent with Pei Shanqing was very fast, as if it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and half a month was not long, and when he came to his senses, it was time to be discharged from the hospital.

After Pei Yi completed the formalities, the three of them simply packed up their things and drove home. The moment they opened the door, Pei Shanqing saw the familiar furnishings inside, but it seemed like a world away.

The kitten jumped out of the bedroom cheerfully, patrolled around the three of them, and finally chose Jiang Yubai, its favorite, and jumped into his arms.

"Of course, do you miss me?" Jiang Yubai was completely different from when he left the room half a month ago. He stroked the kitten's furry head with a warm smile on his face.

Pei Shanqing followed behind him, sat down on the sofa together, and whispered something with a smile.

Standing at the entrance, Pei Yi looked at the two people in a harmonious atmosphere from a distance, and seemed to feel that there was an invisible wall of air around them, separating outsiders and forming a small world that only belonged to them.

Pei Yi was slightly distracted, and stayed there looking for a long time, until Pei Shanqing called out to him: "Dad, what are you doing standing there? Come and sit down."

Only then did Pei Yi realize that he walked to the sofa and sat down. Pei Shanqing got up and stuffed the watermelon he bought along the way into the refrigerator. As soon as he opened the refrigerator door, he yelled at Jiang Yubai: "Jiang Yubai, are you crazy? Is it? What are you doing with so much soda on ice? You feel uncomfortable if you don’t drink it cold, don’t you?”

"It was too hot before, and I wanted to drink something cold. I was wrong, and I won't do it in the future." Jiang Yubai hugged the kitten, and returned to him in a drawn-out tone, "But since it's already iced, can you give me a drink?" Can?"

I have no regrets when I hear it.

With great kindness, Pei Shanqing rewarded him with a can, and when he brought it over, he put the can body on his face with bad intentions, and the water mist covered Jiang Yubai's face, reflecting the light little by little.

Pei Yi watched the two of them chatting and joking for a while, took out his mobile phone and booked a ticket back to London the next day, and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

The flight time is still in the morning, but the difference from last time is that Pei Yi is sitting in the back seat, busy making phone calls to deal with business, Pei Shanqing is driving, and the co-pilot is the sleepy Jiang Yubai.

"I told you I'll send him here, but I have to follow." Pei Shanqing glanced at him from time to time and said, "Did you wake up, motion sick?"

Jiang Yubai rubbed his eyes, his voice hoarse: "Well, it's okay, I'm just a little hungry."

"I'll take you to eat Xiaolongbao later, okay?"

Jiang Yubai managed to pull himself together, and replied, "Okay."

Pei Yi's check-in went smoothly, and he bid farewell to the two before entering the security check. It was rare that the children, who were already much taller than before, hugged each other.

Pei Yi looked up at Jiang Yubai slightly, and said with a smile, "Take care of yourself, call me if you need anything, and don't hold back if Pei Shanqing bullies you."

"Uncle, it's raining in London recently, remember to add a coat before getting off the plane." Jiang Yubai said, "My brother didn't bully me, he won't."

Pei Yi glanced at Pei Shanqing, sighed, hesitated to speak, and finally just patted Jiang Yubai on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, as long as you live well."

There were tiny spots of light in Jiang Yubai's pupils, and he looked radiant. He sincerely thanked Pei Yi: "Thank you uncle."

Jiang Yubai really thanked him, thanked him for taking care of him with all his heart during this time, and also thanked him for finally letting go and allowing Pei Shanqing to stay... He had so much to thank, but in the end, it just turned into This short sentence.

But there is no need to talk too much between family members, Pei Yi nodded slowly with a warm smile on his face, "Come to London to play when you have time."

Pei Shanqing stood by the side from beginning to end without interjecting, as if Pei Yi's biological son was Jiang Yubai instead of him, but the expression in his eyes clearly betrayed his true inner thoughts.

Pei Yi didn't say a few words to him, but told him: "Take care of Yue Bai."

Pei Shanqing took Jiang Yubai's hand, interlocked his fingers, and replied, "Yes, I will."

Pei Yi held the ticket and turned around. When he was about to walk into the security gate, he looked back at the two of them——

They stood in the middle of the empty airport hall in the early morning, and the twilight morning light scattered around through the glass, blurring their faces, leaving only a vague outline of him.

Pei Yi looked at it quietly for three seconds, and said silently in his heart: I'm sorry.

The dignity of being an elder did not allow him to say it, so all of them turned into a reluctant gaze before leaving, collided with the gazes of the younger generations, and finally melted into the bright sky.

On the way back, Jiang Yubai suddenly asked, "When did uncle go abroad?"

Pei Shanqing rested his fingers on the steering wheel, without looking sideways, and said, "I don't remember clearly, when I was very young. Anyway, I only remember that he only came back once during the holidays. He didn't come back after college."

"...Then do you dislike him?" Jiang Yubai asked after hesitation.

Pei Shanqing seemed to be in a daze, staring at the blue sky for a while, then burst out laughing.

"I don't hate him, nor do I hate him." Pei Shanqing said, "But I can't say I love him either."
