In any case, those who had provoked him had a tragic outcome.
Pei Jiao observed Wei Yuâs reaction and saw that his face was tense. Although he did not say anything, his aura was still very fierce. She whispered, âCan you forgive me? I wonât do it again.â
Wei Yu let go of her and took half a step back, putting distance between them. âSpeak properly.
Pei Jiao frowned and said in a low voice, âIâm talking nicely.â
Wei Yu glanced at her. âWhen can you speak?â
Pei Jiao stammered, âA-a few days.â
Wei Yu did not intend to let her brush it off. He continued to ask, âHow long are a few days?â
Pei Jiao bit her lower lip and looked at him awkwardly. Such a gaze was too innocent. In addition, Pei Jiao had an extremely beautiful face, and her eyes were clear and filled with innocence. Once she gave in and pretended to be obedient, just a look from her could easily make people want to protect her.
Wei Yuâs breathing became a little chaotic. He quickly turned his face away from him. âGo back with Ji He first. Iâll come back to interrogate you tonight when Iâm done.â With that, Wei Yu looked at Ji He and reminded him word by word, âLook after her.â
Ji He quickly nodded. âYoung Master, Iâll definitely take good care of her.â He quickly came forward and tugged at Pei Jiaoâs sleeve. âLetâs go back first. Some bad luck canât be touched.â
Wei Yu lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the action of Ji He pulling Pei Jiaoâs sleeve. Ji He sensed a cold gaze piercing over. When he saw that it was Young Master looking at him, he immediately retracted his hand.
At first, Ji He thought it was his imagination, but the young master looked away after realizing that he had retracted his hand.
Whatâs going on? Why was he suddenly so scary?
Pei Jiao did not leave. She was holding back her anger and felt very uncomfortable, but she could only hold it in.
She took a deep breath and composed herself. Before she left, she took out a persimmon from her pocket. Seeing that it had been crushed a little, she changed to another persimmon to make sure it was not crushed. Then, she handed it to Wei Yue âHere you go.â
Wei Yu glanced at her with an inexplicable gaze. Pei Jiao said, âThis is a persimmon I picked on the tree just now. Iâll give you one.â
Wei Yu did not reach out his hand. He was extremely cold and looked like he could not be curried favor.
Pei Jiao gritted her teeth and forced it on him. âItâs for you.â After stuffing the persimmons into Wei Yu t s hands, Pei Jiao turned around and left. She walked especially quickly, and Ji He could only jog to keep up with her.
Wei Yu stared at Pei Jiaoâs departing figure for a long time. He didnât look away until he couldnât see her. He looked down at the persimmon in his hand and quickly fell into deep thought again.
At night, Wen Qiong came to see Pei Jiao. The moment she entered, she asked worriedly, âl heard that Wei Yu scolded you this morning?â
Pei Jiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and handed Wen Qiong a washed apple.
âWho did you hear that from?â
âAh, you really could speak.â Wen Qiong had come to confirm if Pei Jiao could really speak. Now that she was sure, she was very happy. âAfter knowing you for so long, I finally hear your voice.â With that, Wen Qiong put the apple back.
âl heard it from Ji He.â
Pei Jiao did not say anything and silently bit the apple in her hand.
Wen Qiong suddenly leaned closer to Pei Jiao and asked her gently, âYou can speak now. Can you tell me your name?â
Pei Jiao turned to look at Wen Qiong. After looking at each other for a moment, she said, âFei Yi.â
âFei Yi? What a nice name.â Wen Qiong was very happy that Pei Jiao was willing to tell her her name. However, she asked again, âIs your surname Fei?â
Pei Jiao repeated, âFei Yi.â
Wen Qiong said, âItâs rare to see a surname like Fei. This surname plus the name after it is Fei Yi. Yes, itâs the best name Iâve ever heard.â
Pei Jiao felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Wen Qiongs eyes. She laughed dryly. âMy mother gave it to me.â
Wen Qiong praised, âYour mother is good at naming.â
Pei Jiao said, âPerhaps.â
Knock knock knock â
There was a knock on the door and Wen Qiong immediately stood up. âWei Yu should be back. Heâs not far behind me.â
Pei Jiao was about to get up and open the door when Wen Qiong placed her hand on her shoulder. âSit down. Iâll open it.â
Pei Jiao nodded. Wen Qiong went over and opened the door. Seeing that Wei
Yu was holding a lunch box, she asked, âDid you bring dinner for Fei Yi?â
Wei Yu glanced around the room casually and then looked at Wen Qiong. âFei Yi?â
Wen Qiong smiled and said, âHer name.â Wei Yuâs lips twitched. âThat surname is rare.â
âItâs as rare as your surname,â Wen Qiong said.
The surname Wei was one in a hundred thousand people. Fei was the same. They were all rare surnames. After Wei Yu entered, Wen Qiong closed the door and walked in. âLook, even your surnames are so compatible.â
Wei Yuâs gaze landed on Pei Jiao. At that moment, she was looking up at him as he entered. He did not restrain his voice, as if he was deliberately saying it for Pei Jiao to hear. âItâs not whatever she says. Perhaps these two words are fake.â
Pei Jiao heard Wei Yuâs words. She knew it was aimed at her, but she wasnât angry. She said, âThatâs my name. If itâs fake, I will be hit by a car when I go out. â
Wei Yuâs expression turned ugly. âDonât you know that such words are unlucky?â
âl know.â Pei Jiao threw the apple core into the trash can. âItâs precisely because I know that I dare to swear a poisonous oath. Otherwise, how could you believe me?â
Wei Yu placed the lunch box on the coffee table and looked down at her. âItâs my business whether I believe it or not.â
Pei Jiao said, âThen itâs my business whether I get hit by a car when I go out.â
âShut up.â Wei Yu was displeased and scolded her angrily. âDonât say such unlucky words again.â
Pei Jiao puffed out her cheeks. âYou even have to control my words.â
Wen Qiong was very embarrassed at the side. It seemed that Wei Yu had no intention of leaving immediately. Wen Qiong could only leave first to avoid it being inappropriate to stay here. Before she left, she said to Pei Jiao, âHurry up and eat. Iâll go back first.â
Pei Jiao nodded. âOh.â
After Wen Qiong left, she did not forget to close the door considerately. Only Pei Jiao and Wei Yu were left in the room. One stood and the other sat. One was domineering, and the other was casual.
Pei Jiao was the first to break the silence. âl ate an apple just now. 1 canât eat that meal anymore.â
Wei Yu didnât care if she wanted to eat or not. He only asked her, âIs your name really Fei Yi?â
âYes.â Pei Jiao nodded.
Wei Yu stared at her for a few seconds. âThe food is hot. Itâs up to you to eat or not.â With that, he turned and left.
Pei Jiao stopped him. âHeyâ
Wei Yu stopped in his tracks and asked sideways, âWhat else?â
Pei Jiao bit her lip and asked softly, âDidnât you say that you would come back and eat with me tonight?â
Wei Yu: âIâve eaten.â
Pei Jiao added, âYou even said that you would interrogate me tonight.â
Wei Yu said, âWeâll talk about it tomorrow.â
He was about to leave when Pei Jiao stopped him again and asked, âIs that persimmon⦠sweet?â
Wei Yu closed his eyes and finally replied with one word: âSweet..â
