It was so cold outside that Zhai Xingchen even forgot to put on his down jacket and was shivering with cold. He went to the toilet, came back shivering, locked the door, and saw that Pei Xu had already sat up.
He didn’t say anything, but climbed up carefully. Pei Xu said, “You have to put on your down jacket when you go out.”
Zhai Xingchen hummed and didn’t dare to look at Pei Xu’s face.
Pei Xu’s expression at this moment was as if he was drunk, his eyes and face looked as if he was drunk.
Was it true that a man could show his sexual desire so obviously? If so…, what would that be like?
Strong and red?
He felt that Pei Xu was like a volcano, a volcano that had never erupted but had reached its active period, and if he was not careful, he would be covered in hot magma.
He crawled into bed, and Pei Xu suddenly reached out for the kettle beside him, poured a full cup of water, and drank it all.
Zhai Xingchen was lying in bed, and only heard the sound of “gulp…gulp” of water. He turned his head and saw Pei Xu’s resolute profile and his Adam’s apple rolling up and down.
Pei Xu’s face was very red, but his expression was calm.
After drinking, Pei Xu turned off the light and lay down.
The two of them didn’t say another word. Zhai Xingchen was trembling at the sound of Pei Xu’s obvious breathing.
He was just frozen.
Alternating between hot and cold, his body kept shaking uncontrollably.
He actually felt that trembling at this time was somewhat inappropriate and would trigger some bad associations.
But there was no way, his body’s reaction was out of control.
He counted sheep in his mind to divert his attention.
He didn’t know how long he had been lying there when he suddenly heard Pei Xu laughing softly.
A self-deprecating, embarrassed, yet joyful laugh.
Zhai Xingchen’s heart was pounding, and he asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Pei Xu said: “Nothing.”
After a while, Pei Xu asked, “Are you sleepy? If not, let’s chat.”
“OK.”
Then the two of them were silent for a while.
Pei Xu was obviously not a person who was good at chatting, just as Pei Xu himself said when they first met.
Zhai Xingchen thus took the initiative to ask, “For this performance, the songs everyone chose are all difficult. Why did you choose to play “On the Shores of Lake Baikal”? Did you choose it randomly?”
Pei Xu hummed and said, “No. Because my dad likes this song very much. He travelled to Lake Baikal with my mom and proposed to her there. Every wedding anniversary, my mom would play this song. It is a reserved song in our family.”
Zhai Xingchen was surprised and said, “Is that so.”
So Pei Xu chose to play “On the Banks of Lake Baikal” because this song represented his beautiful yearning for love?
“Your parents have a very good relationship.” Zhai Xingchen said.
Pei Xu said: “Many people think that my mom married my dad because he was rich, but that’s not true. They were together when they were young, but later separated. My mom married my biological dad, but my biological dad died in a plane accident. After many twists and turns, they got back together. Now they have a very good relationship and are inseparable all day long.”
Zhai Xingchen didn’t expect Pei Xu to tell him such a private matter, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“You know that I am not Zhou’s biological child, right?” Pei Xu asked again.
Zhai Xingchen said: “I know, I’ve also read the news.”
Pei Xu hummed and said, “I changed my words when I was a teenager. He was very good to me and had a good relationship with my mother. So, many people thought I was his illegitimate child.”
“Are all the recent news about your family true?” Zhai Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu asked, “Are you talking about the one related to fighting for the family property?”
Zhai Xingchen said “hmm”.
This news caused quite a stir. Lin Qingning and the others had a brief chat about it last week.
“Some are true and some are false. The struggle is true, but the story that Zhou’s business will be passed on to me is false. I am not interested in the Zhou family’s business, and my mother doesn’t let me get involved. Maybe my mother is a celebrity and is quite famous, and the media and netizens also like to watch dramas like the fights between wealthy families, so they made up some nonsense. I like my current job very much. It’s very simple and I don’t have to deal with people.”
When Zhai Xingchen heard this, he suddenly remembered the fund of Pei Xu that he bought online.
“By the way, how has your fund performed these days? I bought your fund.”
As he spoke, he reached for his phone, and the screen lit up, illuminating Zhai Xingchen’s eyes.
Pei Xu asked in surprise: “Did you buy my fund?”
Zhai Xingchen smiled and said, “Yes, yours is now the top fund in the industry, Brother Pei will have to compensate me if you lose!”
Pei Xu was actually a little embarrassed and asked, “Why did you buy my fund? When did you buy it?”
“Just a few days ago, the program team gave me some money, so I bought some.” Zhai Xingchen went to take a look and said “Oh”, “It increased by 2.4 today!”
You know, it is amazing if a mixed fund can rise by two points in a day, especially for a fund of such a large scale.
“Which one did you buy?” Pei Xu came over to take a look.
As soon as he came over, he lay down on Zhai Xingchen’s pillow. Zhai Xingchen was so excited to see the money he had made in the past few days that he didn’t notice it for a moment. He showed his phone to Pei Xu: “Hua Xu Life.”
In just a few days, he had already earned a thousand dollars!
Pei Ge YYDS!
“You’ve been recording shows these days, so how can you have time to deal with this?”
“The trends of several tracks have not yet finished, so there is no need to adjust the portfolio frequently. There has been basically no movement in the past few days.” Pei Xu reached out and dialled his phone, and took a look at his fund: “You only bought mine?”
Zhai Xingchen said: “Yes, I believe you. I hope Brother Pei can help me make a fortune!”
Pei Xu smiled. He was a little embarrassed at first, thinking that it was a bit strange that Zhai Xingchen bought his fund, as if it increased his pressure invisibly. But when he saw that Zhai Xingchen only bought his fund, Pei Xu felt satisfied. When Zhai Xingchen said that he believed him, Pei Xu felt very happy.
“I’ll try my best.” Pei Xu said.
“You will definitely become more and more popular in the future.” Zhai Xingchen asked, “Why are so many hybrid chickens with excellent performance in a slump recently, but you can still control the drawdown so well?”
Pei Xu said: “Because I’m awesome.”
Zhai Xingchen smiled.
Pei Xu explained earnestly: “The market has been rotating this year, so it is important to diversify holdings and balance the ratio. My turnover rate is also relatively high, and I have a good eye for stock selection.”
Zhai Xingchen said: “I don’t know much about funds, but I know that I should just follow Brother Pei.”
Many people praised him as a financial genius, but he didn’t feel anything. However, when Zhai Xingchen praised him so casually, he was so excited.
Very happy.
Pei Xu relaxed after this chat, and the fire in his heart dissipated, leaving only a residual heat. He moved, and his ear suddenly rubbed against Zhai Xingchen’s cheek. This touch startled both of them, and Pei Xu realized that he was resting his head on Zhai Xingchen’s pillow. He didn’t dare to move for a moment, but then instantly stood up again. Zhai Xingchen thought Pei Xu did it on purpose, so he put down his phone, and the light of the phone dimmed, and the two of them instantly fell into darkness. Zhai Xingchen’s heartbeat accelerated, and the heat rose up. He suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he reached out and pushed Pei Xu, but he didn’t push Pei Xu’s face, but pushed his neck.
His hot neck and prominent Adam’s apple.
Pei Xu moved back to his pillow almost immediately. He shuddered, his expression dazed, and he felt the electric current whizzing through his body, and goose bumps appeared on his neck.
This was the first time he had experienced this feeling, and it was a hundred times stronger than the one he had felt when he touched his ears while playing the piano before.
Pei Xu was completely confused. He pursed his lips and clenched his hands.
Zhai Xingchen stopped talking too.
Pei Xu’s Adam’s apple was so big and his neck was so hot.
He thought awkwardly.
In the darkness, neither of them spoke anymore.
The atmosphere suddenly returned to what it was before.
Zhai Xingchen pretended to check his phone and said, “It’s late. Let’s stop chatting and go to sleep.”
Pei Xu still didn’t speak.
Zhai Xingchen turned over and suddenly thought that it might not be a good idea to have his butt facing Pei Xu.
He was embarrassed and wrapped the quilt tightly around him.
He didn’t know how long he lay there, but it seemed like he was really sleepy and Zhai Xingchen finally fell asleep.
But Pei Xu couldn’t fall asleep for a while, and his mind was full of random thoughts.
For Pei Xu, the shock that fan art and fan fiction brought to him was that at the beginning he was more of an emotional desire, and his physical reaction was more unconscious.
But fan art and many related comments made him feel the specific details more vividly and triggered more fantasies in him.
For example, now that he was next to Zhai Xingchen, it was not as simple as just wanting to kiss him.
He would think of more specific organs and the friction and rubbing of organs.
This made him very painful.
Probably after the temperature of the kang dropped, when it was already the second half of the night and the pain in his body had become numb, Pei Xu moved slightly closer to Zhai Xingchen and listened to his breathing in the dark.
After listening for a while, he secretly moved the top quilt inwards, covering most of it on Zhai Xingchen, and then carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for Zhai Xingchen.
His desire was so strong, but his feelings were so soft.
The morning light came in through the window, and Zhai Xingchen woke up in the morning light. He rubbed his eyes, turned over and looked back, and found that Pei Xu was no longer on the kang.
He reached for his phone, took a look at it, then quickly sat up from the bed.
When he woke up, he found that on the bedside table, his water cup, toothbrush and toothpaste were neatly arranged, and disposable face towels and kettle were placed in order.
A new pair of socks was placed on his shoes, and his down jacket and trousers were placed on a chair by the stove.
Zhai Xingchen sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. A ray of golden morning light shone through the window and shone on his white feet.
Hu Ying and Lin Qingning both got up very late today. Hu Ying got up only after hearing the noise coming from the kitchen outside.
He ran out wrapped in a thick robe without even putting on his clothes.
Before he saw anyone, he smiled and said, “Xingchen, you’re here so early.”
When he arrived at the living room, he was stunned.
Pei Xu, wearing a black down jacket and a dark blue velvet hat, looked up at him and said, “Good morning.”
“Where is Xingchen?” Hu Ying looked around.
Pei Xu should have come with Zhai Xingchen, right?
“He is still sleeping.” Pei Xu said.
“What are you doing?” Hu Ying walked over and asked.
He saw Pei Xu frying eggs, and several of them were already burnt.
He looked up at Pei Xu in astonishment.
Pei Xu had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be more irritated, but it still did not affect his fair and handsome appearance. Porridge was cooking in the pot next to him, bubbling with steam.
Perhaps it was because of this heat that Hu Ying felt that Pei Xu, who had never been very sociable, had become more down-to-earth and come alive.
