"This is my friend. She has a stomachache. I brought her to drink your porridge."

Rong Li took her arm affectionately and said, "Aunt Zhang, I haven't been here for a long time. You must show your best skills and don't let me lose face in front of my friends."

"Don't worry, you still can't trust my craftsmanship?"

Aunt Zhang looked at Pei Yao and smiled, "This little girl is so good-looking and she is a perfect match for you."

The last four words were whispered by Aunt Zhang to Rong Li. Pei Yao didn't hear them, but Aunt Zhang didn't give her a chance to stand there again.

"Come on, come in quickly. Aunt Zhang can make whatever porridge you like."

"Just follow your signature."

When she walked in, Pei Yao discovered that there was something special inside. The decoration inside was very elegant. There was a green plant next to each seat. The green plants were trimmed so beautifully that she took a second look.

"Do you like this? I will buy a pot to put at home, but it is difficult to grow. Every pot of plants here is carefully taken care of by Aunt Zhang."

"No, I'm just looking to see what I've been raising since I was a kid."

Pei Yao smiled, the two sat down, and Rong Li poured her a glass of hot water.

"Are you still feeling sick to your stomach?"

After saying that, before Pei Yao could answer, Rong Li suddenly raised his head, not knowing what he thought of, looking in disbelief.

"Pei Yao, are you...pregnant?"

Probably because he was afraid of being overheard, he looked around to see if anyone else was around and asked again in a low voice.

"Whose pregnancy is it? Does he admit it? If he is irresponsible, I will help you deal with him."

The serious look on Rong Li's face made Pei Yao laugh. Her somewhat depressed mood was instantly liberated. She also lowered her voice and leaned forward.

"Well, I just found out yesterday. He ran away. I can't find him. Grandma doesn't know. Don't tell her."

After the words fell, Rong Li's expression was stunned.

"Really...pregnant?"

Pei Yao nodded and lowered his eyes. From his perspective, she looked a little sad and sad.

He had just made a guess at first, but now that he heard her admit it, a hole seemed to open somewhere in his heart, and the sour feeling kept pouring out, and he couldn't stop it.

"Then...then where did he go?"

Rong Li felt as if his whole body was exerting force when he said these words.

"Tell me his information, and I'll have someone check it for you. What's his name? What does he do? You're not very smart, how can you still be in love, and you're pregnant with a child."

He glanced at Pei Yao's expression, paused for a moment, and then spoke cautiously.

"Then what are you going to do now? Give birth or..."

Pei Yao looked up at him and saw that he was asking her so seriously, and she suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

"What are you doing for a living? You have to have a man, right? I'm kidding you."

She poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Rong Li, "But thank you for caring about me and finding a solution for me."

"Ah?" Rong Li didn't react, "Are you not pregnant?"

"No, I just have an upset stomach."

After hearing these words, the hole in Rong Li's heart seemed to be blocked instantly, and the sourness that filled his heart stopped, and even dissipated little by little.

"Really not pregnant?"

Rong Li asked again as if he didn't believe it, but as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"It's fine if you're not pregnant, it's fine if you're not pregnant, or I have to help you lie to others. A simple boy like me won't lie to others."

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and looked much more relaxed on his face.

I picked up the water in front of me and took a sip. After drinking it, I felt that my whole body was smooth, my waist was no longer sore, my back was not hurting, and I was no longer tired.

"But..." Rong Li suddenly remembered what happened just now, "What happened between you and your aunt?"

"She is not my aunt."

When Pei Xiaoxia was mentioned, the smile on Pei Yao's face disappeared instantly, and there was even a hint of disgust.

Although Rong Li already knew that her relationship with Pei Xiaoxia had already turned bad, she didn't expect it to be so bad.

"If you need help, you can tell me. I know the old man today is from the Lin family, but the Lin family's industries are all abroad and there is no foundation in the country. It will be easy for the Rong family to deal with him."

"No need." Pei Yao shook his head, "They won't stay in the country for long, just avoid them."

After the words fell, Aunt Zhang came out with a casserole. The indifference on Pei Yao's face suddenly disappeared and her smile returned.

"This is the stomach-nourishing porridge I made. It's best to drink this when you have a bad stomach."

Aunt Zhang filled a bowl and placed it in front of Pei Yao, "Try it."

It had been a long time since she had eaten porridge cooked by her elders, and the taste of this porridge made her feel warm just by smelling it.

Pei Yao took a sip and his eyes suddenly opened wide.

"It tastes good, please."

"As long as you like it, drink more, give me some gifts, and take more care of you. I'll go and be busy in the kitchen first."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang left, leaving only the two of them here again.

Pei Yao lowered his head and drank the porridge in mouthfuls, but Rong Li kept his eyes on her.

She wanted to pretend not to see him, but his gaze was too hot, so she could only raise her head.

"Why don't you drink?"

"Ah, drink."

Rong Li came back to his senses, picked up the porridge in front of him and took a big gulp.

"Then what kind of person do you like? Older or younger? Mature or cute? Or, male or female?"

Hearing the last four words, Pei Yao's eyes showed a little smile.

"My orientation is the same as yours."

"So... you like women?" Rong Li's tone was a little cautious, but also a little surprised.

"No, you like men, and I also like men. I said I would keep it a secret for you, so you don't have to pretend in front of me."

Pei Yao looked like I know you all and gave him a look.

Rong Li didn't expect that Pei Yao still remembered this matter. Just as he was about to explain, he saw her put down the bowl.

"I'm done eating, you eat slowly."

After saying that, she took out her phone, put on her headphones, and started watching the video.

Rong Li opened his mouth and closed it again. He wanted to explain a few more words, but seeing that Pei Yao looked like he was watching the video seriously, he didn't speak in the end.

After eating, he sent Pei Yao back to the funeral home. When he saw her getting out of the car, Rong Li wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only watch her leave.

But as soon as Pei Yao entered the funeral home, she received a picture from Pei Xiaoxia. In that picture, it was her grandmother lying in the hospital bed.

When she saw this photo, her expression instantly became solemn. She exited the picture and dialed the phone number, and the call was quickly answered.
