Qin Songyao knew that few people in the circle wanted to see her, so she simply arrived early so that if Pei Qi's family had a holiday with her, she could leave with dignity.
She drove up the mountain, and Pei Qi sent a message asking for her license plate number on the way, and she sent it. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the villa, someone came out to greet her and quietly led her inside.
"The young master said that he wanted to introduce you to his wife at home, but he didn't say hello to you, so he opened the private room in advance and waited for you to come over before explaining it to you clearly," the servant said.
Qin Songyao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly commented on Pei Qi's thoughtfulness.
She looked around all the way, and sure enough, the interior looked like a private residence. Walking inside, it felt like she was visiting a friend's house.
The servant took her to the room on the second floor and opened the door. Pei Qi was reading music scores under the window.
"Happy birthday." Qin Songyao said.
When Pei Qi saw her, he subconsciously wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't move his legs. He felt irritated, but he still responded to her first.
"Thanks."
Qin Songyao handed him the gift and said, "I hope you like it."
Pei Qi raised the corners of his mouth and took it solemnly.
He opened it on the spot and obviously liked it very much. He wanted to take it out, but he was reluctant and put it away again.
None of the guests seemed to have arrived, and there was only a table of snacks in the private room.
Pei Qi said: "Eat a little first to cushion your stomach."
Qin Songyao was indeed hungry and was not polite to him.
She said bluntly: "I won't show up if I have to meet guests at the dinner party. I'm not popular, so maybe there will be an enemy of mine at your party."
"Who do you have a grudge against?"
"Um?"
Pei Qi: "I let them go."
Qin Songyao blinked.
Pei Qi poured her tea and said with a serious face, "I just want to invite you."
Qin Songyao paused while chewing, feeling that these words were a bit too intimate.
Pei Qi looked at her and added, "You are my savior."
Qin Songyao relaxed and felt a little embarrassed, "Don't take it to heart, I really just do it with a little effort."
Pei Qi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
His face was white and his lips were red, and his eyes were slightly hesitant. When he lowered his head, he felt broken, which was heartbreaking.
Qin Songyao quickly said: "Did something happen to you at that time?"
Pei Qi raised his eyes, looked at her, and said, "I just find it boring."
Qin Songyao remembered the rumors that he was suffering from depression.
She didn't know how to persuade her, so she lowered her head, saw the snacks on the plate, and gave a piece to Pei Qi.
"The year my parents died in a car accident, I also felt that life was quite boring."
Pei Shao was slightly stunned, a little surprised.
"Your parents..."
Qin Songyao smiled, with a sunny face, "It's all passed. It's been a long time."
How long?
Just twelve years.
In fact, she still dreams about her mother singing nursery rhymes to her.
Pei Qi was silent for a long time, and then said after a while: "My mother also died in a car accident."
This time Qin Songyao was surprised.
Immediately, she gave a wry smile. No wonder she felt that Pei Qi was kind. It turned out that he was in the same boat.
She said: "If you have that kind of thought again in the future, remember to think about it. When your mother gave birth to you, she also fought tooth and nail for you. You can't let her down."
Pei Qi didn't respond. After a long time, he reached out and picked up the snack and slowly put it into his mouth.
"Not anymore."
Qin Songyao smiled and said: "Yes, it's so good to be alive."
She took a sip of the drink and when she swallowed it, she felt extremely sour.
The death of a loved one is not a sudden heavy rain, but a lifetime of humidity.
She was able to persuade Pei Qi, but she couldn't suppress the pain in her heart.
