Fireworks were set off outside the window, and the sound of bursts of explosions echoed among the buildings.

Pei Yue lay there on her side, looking at the fireworks rising out of the window.

It’s Chinese New Year.

Everyone else was beaming with joy, but she seemed to be going through a disaster every New Year.

The big hands on her waist tightened, and she suddenly came back to her senses, curling up her body, showing a sense of defense and rejection.

He Jingxi didn't mind either. He lowered his head and ran his lips along her shoulders. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, "This house is too bad. Don't live there. Pack your things later and move to my place."

She said tiredly, "My brother will be back next week...I don't worry about him being at home alone..."

"Oh? Your brother is studying in No. 1 Middle School, his name is Lu Lin, right?" He actually remembered it, he said quietly, "Ask your brother to move here too, I have plenty of room for him to live there."

Pei Yue was so frightened that her back went cold and she gritted her teeth, "No, he doesn't need to..."

He Jingxi laughed lukewarmly, "It's okay if you don't want to move. I'll live here with you until your brother comes back. I haven't seen you for several years. Your brother won't be so short, right?"

Pei Yue curled up tightly, looked at the dim night outside the window, and said hoarsely, "I'll move... I'll move in a moment..."

"Okay, be good." He Jingxi was also tired and rested his chin on her shoulder with satisfaction.

She had a very fresh smell on her body, which cleared up his blocked sense of smell a lot.

In this simple and dilapidated house, he slept very comfortably. After being ill for several days, it was the first time he could sleep so deeply.

——

Palace of Beauty.

Pei Yue put her luggage in the cabinet and went downstairs to prepare meals.

She didn't like cooking in the first place, and she didn't have any requirements for food. Lu Lin was at home and he loved cooking, so she was eager to eat ready-made.

Now I am a bit unfamiliar with making it myself. I don’t know how to start with a good piece of beef for a long time.

When her phone rang, she glanced at it and saw that it was Lu Lin sending her a video.

She didn't dare to answer the call in the Palace of Beauty, so she switched to a voice call. The person on the other end asked her, "Sister Yue, do you have enough to eat? I bought a ticket and will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Why is it so early?"

Lu Lin was silent and just said, "I want to go home."

Pei Yue felt that he was not very happy. She felt the same as Lu Lin in her heart. She also wanted to go home. This luxurious palace was just a golden birdcage to her.

"Well..." Pei Yue cut the beef, "What time is the bus? I'll pick you up."

"No, it's too cold. I can just go back by myself. I bought you a lot of delicious food." Lu Lin said a few words to her and her mood improved. "I have some good news that I want to tell you.

You share."

"What? Say it now."

"No, tell me in person. You won't feel the same if you tell me on the phone."

Pei Yue unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, "Oh, you brat is still trying to show off."

When He Jingxi came over, he saw her talking to the phone with a gentle look on her face. Those who knew that she was talking to her brother, but those who didn't knew, thought they were lovers murmuring.

Pei Yue was startled when she heard He Jingxi opening the refrigerator and hung up the call before she could say goodbye to Lu Lin.

He Jingxi turned his eyes towards her, saw her face was red, and said mockingly, "What? You're embarrassed? Are you afraid that your brother will know that you are with me?".

The redness on Pei Yue's face faded, and she became a little whiter. She begged him, "Young Master He...it is an important time for him to study. I don't want to affect him...he is still young and will have random thoughts..."

He Jingxi was too lazy to pay attention to her and urged, "Do you know how to cook? You've been cooking for a long time without cutting the meat?"

"I've cooked a soup." Pei Yue observed him and saw that his expression was calm and unchanged, so she asked tentatively, "Young Master He, my brother will come back the day after tomorrow. He spent the Chinese New Year away from home. I want to go back and see him. He

He is not yet an adult. I want to take care of him for a while and then come back. Can it be okay for just one day?"

He didn't say yes or no, he glanced at her, "You and your brother have a good relationship?"

"Well...we have been dependent on each other since childhood, and our parents don't care about us."

Pei Yue said that she and Lu Lin were half-siblings. Naturally, He Jingxi would not investigate this matter. Moreover, he was not interested in knowing about the chaotic situation of her family.

He opened the beer can, took a few sips, and glanced at her sideways. He was wearing an apron, his long hair was loosely tied, and he had a young and pretty face, which seemed a bit like someone who could be bullied by a good family.

He was filled with enthusiasm and said evilly, "Okay, but it depends on whether you work hard tonight."

Pei Yue was short of breath and said with a red face, "Young Master He... you haven't recovered from your illness yet, so stop drinking..."

It was okay if she didn't speak, but when she spoke, he didn't even want to wait all night, he went over to pull off her apron and started to move his hands.

——

He Jingxi finally let her go home for two days.

He gave her a bunch of car keys and asked her to drive there.

She didn't dare to drive it. The car he gave her was a million-dollar luxury car. She couldn't afford to pay for it if it broke down. Besides, if she drove this car back home, if someone she knew saw it, she wouldn't be able to explain it at all.

He Jingxi saw her resisting and said with disgust, "You can't hold up a wall with mud, you are so poor."

Pei Yue smiled at him to calm his unhappiness and save him from embarrassment with her. He had something to go to the company today, so he didn't care too much about her. He gave her a ride on the way, left her at the station and left.

Pei Yue came home early and tidied up the house. She and He Jingxi had done bad things at home, and she felt guilty. She took off all the sheets, quilts and pillowcases and washed them carefully.

Lu Lin arrived in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the house, his ears were so cold that his ears were red. Before opening the door, he was still worried. When he opened the door and saw Pei Yue, he suddenly cleared up and put down the big and small bags. "Yue"

Sister, I'm back."

Pei Yue took the things into the house and got him slippers, "Why did you take the early morning train? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to sleep for the first half of the night?"

"I want to come back early and be with you." Lu Lin took off his coat and walked to her. He was already eight centimeters taller than Pei Yue. Standing in front of her, he actually caused a sense of oppression to Pei Yue. He

He exercises regularly, and his shoulders and back are very broad and strong. From the back, he looks like a man.

He got too close and looked at her with his eyes lowered. He really missed her, his eyes filled with endless emotions.

The coolness on his body hit her, and she was a little out of breath. She looked away from him and said, "You brat, didn't you say you have good news to say?"

He leaned forward slightly, came closer to her, and shared, "Sister Yue, I won first place in the province in the last competition. The teacher called me and said that I can be admitted to college."

"Really?" Pei Yue was greatly surprised. It is a top university in the country. Being admitted to the university means that she has embarked on a bright future.

"Of course. It's a pity that I can't skip the grade. I still have to finish my senior year in high school."

Looking at him, Pei Yue spun around in excitement, "You brat, you are really proud of your ancestors this time! Damn, from now on, you, sister, I will go out and walk sideways!"

He smiled and said, "Of course you can walk sideways. It's all thanks to you that I am where I am today."
