Chapter 10 Heartbeat

Author: Li Zhaozhao

Pei Shi looked to the side and saw that the girl who came was like a kitten with fried hair, looking angrily at the group of people opposite.

He held a black bone umbrella in his hand, and he still tried his best to lift the umbrella above his head to protect him from the rain.

It was a dark day, and the umbrella shield blocked the rain falling from the sky, which also wetted her white face.

Yun Ruozhi was furious when he looked at these fat men.

She knew they came with bad intentions and saw this scene just as she rushed downstairs and they were about to beat Pei.

Is this okay? Isn’t it harder to hit her boyfriend than hitting her?

She was originally a soft-tempered person who was not afraid of trouble, but when she met Pei, it was like stacking several layers of buffs. Her courage gradually increased, and even her soft-tempered personality was gone.

He went up and knocked off the fat, ugly hand. Before anyone could recover, he held up his mobile phone and yelled angrily, "What are you guys doing? I'm videotaping, and you're beating people, right? I'm just here."

I've sent you to the bureau, but don't leave, none of you can escape."



The big men looked at each other, confused.

Everyone would have been happy once they got the money, but they wanted to withdraw.

This half-grown girl appeared out of nowhere and started swearing at everyone without even giving her a chance to explain.

Moreover, the girl's vow was as if they had already taken action, which made them doubt their life.

In an instant, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind finally brought a cool feeling.

Pei Shi looked at the girl standing in front of him, her cheeks getting wet from the rain, and her slightly raised eyelashes hanging with three ounces of water droplets, and he felt a sense of worry in his heart.

The next second, Pei Shi reached for her umbrella, put it over her head, held her wrist, and pulled her body under the umbrella.

Feeling the warmth from the man's palm on her wrist, Yun Ruozhi's eyelashes trembled.

She calmed down, but her brows were still knitted tightly, and the corners of her mouth were sinking again and again, as if she was very angry.

She turned her head and looked into Pei Shi's eyes. Her eyes were covered with mist. She bit her lip and asked, "Mr. Pei Shi, are you okay? Did they bully you?"

Pei Shi shook his head slightly, and looked down to see a blood-red mass on the girl's ankle, with black sand on it, which was different from the white skin. The red was so bright that it was dazzling, and rainwater splashed upward from time to time.

He asked: "Does it hurt?"

Yun Ruozhi followed his gaze and looked at her ankle, couldn't help but shrink back, and said nonchalantly: "I was in a hurry when I went downstairs just now. I knocked a little. It doesn't matter."

Seeing the girl looking at him obediently, Pei Shi pursed his lips and said, "Go home."

"But they..."

Yun Ruozhi turned around, only to see that the group of debt collectors had long since disappeared, and the surrounding crowd had also dispersed. Only then did she proudly put down her phone and softly replied: "Okay."

It's still early and it's getting late.

Pei Shi held up his umbrella and tilted half of it towards Yun Ruozhi, and the two of them walked slowly inside.

One slows down and the other tries to keep up.

Just after taking two steps, Yun Ruozhi paused for a moment. Perhaps he was just angry, but now he felt a burning tingling sensation in his ankle, which was itchy and a bit abrasive due to the wind.

But with Pei Shi by her side, she didn't want to be too pretentious. Thinking that it was only a few steps away, she endured it.

But his steps were not very obedient, and he walked with a limp, which looked a little funny.

Pei Shi silently slowed down his pace again.

It took a long time to walk a few dozen meters.

After arriving at Pei Shi's house, the two passed through the black iron fence. Yun Ruozhi looked at the yard curiously. This was her first time coming in and it felt very strange.

It feels a little more realistic than looking down from above.

The scenery in the yard takes on a different flavor on rainy days. The leaves are washed greener, and the flowers of various colors accept the baptism of rain tenaciously, giving them a somewhat broken beauty.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Pei Shi's house had lush vegetation and the air was fresher than elsewhere.

The wound on my foot was aching.

Yun Ruozhi's house is still two steps away from here.

She waited for Pei Shi to go in first, and then waited for Pei Shi to return the umbrella to her.

When Pei Shi opened the door of the bungalow, he had no intention of returning the umbrella to her. Instead, he left the umbrella on the umbrella stand in the entrance hall, dripping with water.

"Mr. Pei Shi, my umbrella." Yun Ruozhi reminded weakly.

Although she was already wet, she couldn't keep getting wet. People can't always fight against God. It's easy for the gain to outweigh the loss.

"Come in first." Pei Shi bent down and took out a pair of cotton and linen slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of her. He spoke with gentleness, "Don't get mud on the wound. I'll get you some medicine."

Yun Ruozhi hesitated for a long time, then nodded slightly, put on her slippers, and walked into Pei Shi's home.

The surrounding windows were blocked by dark curtains as seen from the outside, and there was no light in the room. The dim vision and the moisture on the body stimulated Yun Ruozhi's senses.

The surrounding area instantly became several degrees colder.

If it were somewhere else, Yun Ruozhi might still find it scary.

But this was Mr. Pei Shi's home, and she felt it was a bit mysterious at best.

"Click"

There was a crisp sound of the switch, and the whole house was lit up. Under the bright lights, the highly designed interior decoration was very eye-catching.

Pei Shi asked Yun Ruozhi to wait in the living room and went up the stairs himself.

Yun Ruozhi walked into the living room, but as if someone had cast a restraining spell on her, she stood beside him without daring to move.

The whole house is in a beautiful Chinese style. Most of the furniture is made of solid wood. The sofa is large and stylish, and looks soft and comfortable. Light white and brown carpets are spread in every corner, and they feel like soft cotton when stepped on.

.

The living room is hollow, with a huge chandelier hanging in the middle like a shining moon. The corridor on the second floor is separated by glass, and a row of bookshelves runs through it, filled with books, both in Chinese, English and Japanese.

The small stove next to it is out of season, and only the electronic flame is used to adjust the atmosphere.

But these scenes are all too familiar.

Familiar and scary.

Yun Ruozhi's pupils suddenly dilated, and he couldn't stop recalling those painful nightmares in his mind.

Exactly the same scene.

Identical bookshelves.

This is her first time here.

However, she was already familiar with these facilities, but the coldness on her feet couldn't stop rising. Yun Ruozhi turned to stare at the shelf next to the stove, trembling slightly and almost losing her balance.

There……

Right there...

She could no longer think any more and her tears couldn't help but fall. She knelt down and stared blankly.

Pei Shi went downstairs carrying the medicine box and saw this scene. He looked at the stove with some confusion, but saw nothing.

This girl is very strange.

Always doing strange things.

He was sure that the first time he met her was in the coffee shop a few days ago, but every time this girl looked at him, her eyes were very intriguing, as if she had known him for a long time.

He felt that he was thinking too much, or that his condition was getting worse and he was having visual hallucinations.

But this girl is squatting here crying, and the sadness in her eyes cannot be deceiving.

What happened that he didn't know about?
