Chapter 280 Pei Chonghuan’s Past

With doubts and confusion, Ning Zhizhi asked tentatively.

"Huh? Why? Aren't there other children rushing to be friends with you, little brother?"

She deliberately used the word "rob" just to show Pei Chonghuan how good he was in her heart.

But Pei Chonghuan was just stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth that were curved just now slowly lowered, returning to his calm and indifferent look.

"No. They said I was a bad boy and they didn't like me."

Bad boy.

Ning Zhizhi remembered that he had said the same thing when he rescued Pei Chonghuan for the first time following the system instructions.

"Growing up, other people hated me. They said I was a bad boy."

Ning Zhizhi didn't know his identity at the time, so she thought he was being bullied by other children and didn't ask any further questions.

Now it seems that this matter is really full of doubts.

Will Pei Mingrui's son also be isolated and bullied by others?

Ning Zhizhi didn't know and didn't quite believe it, but she looked at Pei Chonghuan's slightly fragile eyes that were hanging down and pursed her lips.

She believed that Pei Chonghuan would not lie to him, which means there was another hidden reason in this matter.

When mentioning the previous incident, Pei Chonghuan was obviously very resistant.

That memory was not a good memory for him.

In his memory, there are always waves of people hitting and scolding him, and he will never be involved in the playful games played by children of the same age.

He had been living like this for many years, from being full of expectations at the beginning to despair at the end, and it was just days with no one to lend a helping hand.

His low mood also affected Ning Zhizhi, who was next to him and was particularly sensitive to people's emotions.

Looking intently at Pei Chonghuan's profile, Ning Zhizhi suddenly stepped forward and took his hand.

"Little brother, do you remember what I told you?"

At that time, in order to win Pei Chonghuan's favor so that she could get points smoothly, she once comforted her with a smile when Pei Chonghuan confided in her about this crying episode.

The smile on Ning Zhizhi's face was as bright and dazzling as it was then. She took Pei Chonghuan's hand and said seriously.

"You're not a bad boy. They just don't understand you and have heard others slander you, so they talk about you all the time. Little brother, you should know that a crowd of mouths is worth gold, right?"

Destroyed by public opinion, gold and stone can still be destroyed.

As the crown princess and the empress of Caifeng Kingdom, Ning Zhizhi has seen too many people ruined by rumors.

Those who can emerge from such desperate situations are often those who can regard fame as something external.

She always thought that with Pei Chonghuan's character and ability, he wouldn't care about these things, but now it seems that this should belong to his childhood shadow, right?

She looked at Pei Chonghuan, who was not sure whether he had listened to her words, and suddenly let go of his hand and walked to the coffee table to pour him a glass of warm water.

"Brother, drink some water and rinse your mouth. Are the oranges sour? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you just now."

This was not a lie, she was really sorry for tricking Pei Chonghuan into eating super sour oranges.

Originally it was just a joke, who would have thought it would involve his bad memories.

but……

Staring at Pei Chonghuan's side face as he drank water seriously, Ning Zhizhi suddenly spoke softly.

"Brother, if you want to find someone to talk to, I will always be here."

She could be Pei Chonghuan's tree hole and listen to him talk about the unbearable past.

Because she knows that some things are better said.

Pei Chonghuan obviously didn't expect that she would say this. He was startled for a moment, and then his black eyes seemed to light up with stars.

Ning Zhizhi looked at him and the corners of his mouth curled up for a moment, but then disappeared quickly, so fast that she thought for a moment that she had seen it wrong?

But she knew that Pei Chonghuan had just laughed.

"It's not an interesting story, but if you want to hear it..."

Pei Chonghuan moved a little away from the hanging chair and motioned for Ning Zhizhi to come up and sit next to him.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, shining into the office along the floor-to-ceiling windows, and also enveloped the entire hanging chair.

When Ning Zhizhi lay down, she stretched out comfortably, then took a pillow from her side and hugged her in her arms.

"I'm ready." She listened attentively, and the haze in Pei Chonghuan's heart because of those old things faded a little.

"Well, let's start from when I first went out."

Mentioning this age, Pei Chonghuan's eyes flickered, and his gaze suddenly became distant and long, as if he was lost in memories.

"I was born prematurely. When I was born, my mother had a heavy haemorrhage and was in bad health. You should have seen it when we last met. She was not in good health."

His words brought Ning Zhizhi back to the time when she first met Mrs. Pei.

When she first met Mrs. Pei, she felt that her face was a little pale. She was both beautiful and fragile, like a weak willow supporting the wind. Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

Ning Zhizhi is of course no exception, so when she first met Mrs. Pei, she was extremely obedient and would say nice words freely as if they were free.

At that time, she only thought that Mrs. Pei was born with poor health, but she did not expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

But why haven't I heard of it before? Is it because Pei Mingrui is protective of his wife and doesn't allow these things to be spread?

Ning Zhizhi said nothing. She looked at Pei Chonghuan quietly, waiting for his next words.

Because she knew that what Pei Chonghuan wanted now was just a tree hole that listened carefully to his voice, and she didn't need to say anything more.

Pei Chonghuan turned his face sideways, and the sun shone on his face, casting a shadow.

He slowly told Ning Zhizhi about the past.

"I am very grateful to my mother for giving birth to me. I know she worked very hard, but sometimes I also think about how wonderful it would be if I had not been born, then maybe none of this would have happened."

It was a rare moment for his emotions to leak out, but Pei Chonghuan acted extremely low-pressure. He lowered his head and looked at his palms, pursed his lips, and continued talking.

"Because of me... the peers around me don't like me very much. They said that I was a lone star in the sky and almost killed my mother. Later, something happened that made them even more convinced that adults

statement."

Hearing this, Ning Zhizhi couldn't help but ask.

"Where is your father? Doesn't your father know that these people are bullying you? Why doesn't he care about you?"

According to Pei Mingrui's concern for Pei Chonghuan at the last birthday party, it is impossible that he did not notice that his son was being bullied.

She didn't believe that a man who had to personally come to thank his son after he was rescued because he was injured outside, and who also put aside his dignity and took the initiative to make friends with him, would be the kind of man who only does superficial things, but secretly loves his own son.

Ignorant hypocrite.

She looked at Pei Chonghuan intently, wanting to hear the truth from his mouth, but she saw Pei Chonghuan was slightly startled.

His sense of proportion was lost only for a moment and then he quickly found it again, returning to his usual calmness and composure.
