Chapter 41 Doubt
Chapter 41 Doubt
Along the way, Pei Yixiao intermittently recalled the few times he got along with Lu Guantao.At the beginning, in Orchid Garden, Lu Guantao kissed him suddenly when he was answering the phone, which shocked him, and then he realized that Lu Guantao was the original lover of this body; after a few weeks, in his house in Tianhai Garden, Lu Guantao kissed him in the middle of the night. Appeared, opened the door with the key and came in, and almost had sex with him while he was half asleep and half awake; later, because of Jiang Shanshan’s incident, he met Lu Guantao, Lu Guantao asked him to do that kind of thing, but he firmly refused, and the man did not force him in the end. ...
He was afraid of Lu Guantao because he always felt like a prey, being constantly pursued by cold-blooded hunters, and could not help avoiding his shots.
But thinking about it carefully, in fact, Lu Guantao did not actually force himself.No force, no real violence.
While waiting for the red light, he quietly squinted at Lu Guantao.The old man Lu stretched out his long legs on the ground, propped his elbows on the car door, and beat the drums.
Actually, it's not that scary.
His fierce, cold and evil look before was probably for the original Pei Yixiao to see.Maybe this is how they got along before?
Hmph, after being together so many times, I can't even see that I am so different from the original one, Lu Guantao is not very good either!
Pei Yixiao didn't realize that in the past he wished others could see him as Pei Yixiao, but this was actually the first time he expected others to see his changes.
The place to eat is hidden in the old alley, with many turns.Pei Yixiao almost felt that Lu Guantao had led the wrong way?Parking the car on the side of the road, Lu Guantao pushed open the door of a courtyard.It looks really ordinary on the outside, the kind where even if you have money, you may not be able to find a place.The flowers and plants inside are particularly elegant, and a pond was dug in the small yard, filled with clean water, and koi were raised.There is a small bridge over the pool, and the real courtyard can only be reached after walking across it. This way, the entrance is even quieter, and there is almost no sound of people.An old plum tree with clear branches and a little green leaves hung on it, which immediately improved the taste of the whole courtyard.
Pei Yixiao tried his best to warn himself not to show expressions of surprise, curiosity, or inquiry.But the old-fashioned aristocratic demeanor in the courtyard still made him secretly shocked for a long time.The waiter came out head-on, he was an old man, not too young, wearing white silk clothes of high quality.Soft-spoken, slow-moving, and meticulous in action, he looks more noble than the guests.Seeing Lu Guantao, the old man smiled, very reserved, and led the two of them to one of the rooms.
The room is not big, a round table is placed in the middle, and there is a case next to the wall, with framed couplets, calligraphy and paintings hanging.Pei Yixiao doesn't know calligraphy and painting, but just looking at those words and patterns, he can feel very elegant.He was in awe, and the way he looked at Lu Guantao was different.Someone who knows such a place to eat must be very elegant...
Lu Guantao enjoyed Pei Yixiao's adoration, unceremoniously sat on the seat facing the door at the round table, nodded and said to Pei Yixiao: "Sit down."
Pei Yixiao also didn't know what the last seat was, because he didn't really want to sit on the side with him, so he sat directly opposite Lu Guantao, separated by a round table from the boss.Lu Guantao wasn't annoyed, he thought, if you don't get any food for a while, you'll obediently come here.
"Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect your grades to be so good." Lu Guantao spoke with a sincere voice.
Pei Yixiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "There are so many things you didn't expect." He was really happy in his heart.
Lu Guantao said with a rare soft tone: "Yes, I'm really surprised. You still have many faces that I haven't seen before?"
"What's so interesting, it's just like that anyway," Pei Yixiao pretended to be obedient after being cheap, "Besides, you care so much about what I do, and we don't have any special relationship."
"It's just ordinary friends, and I want to know more about it." Lu Guantao's temper is extremely good, "Besides, why don't we have a special relationship? We have had a physical relationship before."
"You...you..." Pei Yixiao suddenly exploded, his finger landed on Lu Guantao, speechless for a long time.How shameless!Sure enough, this person has no conscience, no reason, no morals!I thought he was a gentleman, so why did I go back without saying a word!Such words come out when you are not prepared, really!
At this time, Pei Yixiao was purely ashamed and annoyed, not angry at all.
Lu Guantao sipped his tea leisurely, "What's wrong with me? Isn't what I said the truth?"
Pei Yixiao propped his head speechlessly, "Lu Guantao, Secretary Lu, brother Lu, I beg you, please stop talking about such things, okay?" Especially when the expression on his face is so serious, Spitting out such obscene terms from your mouth, it doesn't please your ears!
"Well, since that's the case, I won't talk about it in the future." Lu Guantao seems to be easy to talk, but what he thinks in his heart is that I will do it directly when the time comes...
Pei Yixiao was about to say something when there was a "thumb tom" sound from the door, and the knocker moved very lightly, just enough to be heard.
Lu Guantao put down his teacup, "Come in."
It was that very aristocratic old man who walked in, leading a young and energetic young man with two big food boxes in his hands.The old man laid out the dishes in the food box in an orderly manner, and each dish was extremely delicate.
Pei Yixiao secretly stuck out his tongue and looked, there were not too many dishes, only seven or eight, which only took up less than a quarter of the table, and the old man was placed in front of Lu Guantao.Seeing Pei Yixiao sitting so far away from Lu Guantao, the young man looked a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.The old man arranged the dishes by himself, and said, "Guests, please. There will be a performance outside in a while, welcome to enjoy." Then he walked out.
Lu Guantao had that expression of wanting to smile but not smiling again, and asked, "Are you sure you want to sit that far away?" There is no turntable on the big table, and you must extend your chopsticks to eat food.But Pei Yixiao sat so far away, even if he stretched out his chopsticks, he couldn't reach the dishes.
Pei Yixiao was secretly depressed, so she had no choice but to get up and walk over step by step, still separated by a seat.
Lu Guantao didn't say anything, picked up the ivory chopsticks and started eating.There are almost none of these dishes that Pei Yixiao can name.In the mouth, it is light and delicious, neither thick nor heavy, paying attention to the original ecology and nutrition, refreshing and fresh, and the ingredients of each dish are so fresh and real.
"When did you order?" Pei Yixiao asked while eating.
Lu Guantao gave him a disdainful look, "There is no need to order food here, I have already called and ordered with them before I come here, and the boss will arrange the dishes." Wanting to eat here is not as simple as he said.Today is really lucky, the person who ordered the food in this room couldn't say it, so it was a bye, otherwise how could he come when he said it?Generally, it is necessary to book a house one or two months in advance.If it weren't for Lu Guantao being a frequent visitor here, when he called to inquire, the boss would save face and agree.Moreover, these dishes are prepared for the table of guests who did not come, even if the guest did not come, the half-price deposit will never be refunded.
"Oh, by the way, don't you like eating sea cucumbers? Here, move this in front of you." This is a dish that Lu Guantao specially asked to make, and the boss happens to have this ingredient.
This is the second time that Lu Guantao said that he likes eating sea cucumbers, Pei Yixiao said strangely: "When did I say that I like eating sea cucumbers..." Just after saying this, he thought of the former Pei Yixiao.It's over, why did I forget this, I really want to take pictures of myself.
Lu Guantao frowned.This is really the only preference of Pei Yixiao he remembers.It was not long after they met, Pei Yixiao still knew how to restrain himself outside, and he took him to dinner.Pei Yixiao deliberately picked up the whole sea cucumber covered with abalone juice, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth from top to bottom, the abalone juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, that action was provocative to the extreme.After eating it, Pei Yixiao deliberately emphasized that sea cucumber is my favorite, Brother Lu must let me eat enough!So excited that Lu Guantao begged him several times that night, Pei Yixiao licked his big bird, and kept saying that I like Lu Ge's sea cucumber the most...
Pei Yixiao knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly took the dish to make amends.It was also Liao ginseng with abalone sauce. He looked at it for a long time, took a knife and fork, and cut it off.
Lu Guantao suddenly felt pain in his lower body.
Pei Yixiao chopped the sea cucumber into sevens and eights, it was horrible, and then ate a few pieces, he couldn't eat any more, so he put it aside.He really doesn't like eating sea cucumbers, what's so good about the soft taste!It is similar to the konjac tofu in my hometown, but not as good as konjac tofu.
Lu Guantao watched, frowning even deeper.Pei Yixiao only had meals with him about three or four times. It was still the year before last, when he ordered sea cucumbers every time he ate, and it was the whole kind.
Lu Guantao observed Pei Yixiao.
The child didn't realize it, and picked up a piece of cold salad with chili.He had never eaten chili before, couldn't eat a little bit of it, I can't remember wrongly.
Pei Yixiao ate and ate, took the tea and drank it upside down, then poured a cup from the teapot and took a sip.He didn't like to drink water before, sometimes his mouth became dry and tongue dry, Lu Guantao wanted to replenish water, but Pei Yixiao didn't bother to drink it.
Pei Yixiao held the chopsticks in his right hand, and scooped up a piece of tofu with a spoon in his left hand.He used to have good eating habits. After all, he is a child of a big family. He always puts down the chopsticks and uses the right hand to scoop up the food with the spoon.
……
It's not that Lu Guantao has observed Pei Yixiao in particular before, but his habits are quite memorable, and Lu Guantao is a person who has an unforgettable memory.
How did Pei Yixiao know that while he was eating happily, the people around him became suspicious.It's strange to say that when he eats at home, even if there are changes, his family members are very tolerant of him. Even Pei Yiming will not deliberately stare at his brother.Of course, Pei Yiming felt something was wrong a long time ago.
Lu Guantao smiled intentionally or unintentionally and said: "To be honest, you have changed a lot. If I am not so familiar with your face and body, I really wonder if you are Pei Yixiao..."
He immediately saw that Pei Yixiao's back straightened immediately, and the hand that was stretched out to pick up the vegetables stopped in mid-air, frozen there.
Lu Guantao was made uncomfortable by his strong reaction. After a while, he smiled again: "What? You are not Pei Yixiao? Then who are you?" It was really just a casual remark.
Seeing that Pei Yixiao retracted his hand carefully, he stammered and said: "Lu, Brother Lu, you, you, you are joking, how could I not be Pei Yixiao, I must be... I am not... you Don't make fun of me...I'm not someone else..." His eyes drifted to the left, and he spoke incoherently.
Lu Guantao saw that his hands were trembling, and his face turned pale without a trace of blood.
The cloud of doubt in Lu Guantao's heart gradually became clear.
Afraid of physical contact, he has been refusing his courtship; he said things that would never be said in righteous words; his grades suddenly became No.1, and he looked like a three-good student; his attitude and expression all became innocent and cute, and a little naive childish……
He stared at Pei Yixiao closely, not letting go of his every reaction.Pei Yixiao's face turned even paler, and the fear of being exposed flashed in his eyes, he didn't dare to continue eating, and didn't dare to look at Lu Guantao, just sat there blankly.
"Ring ring ring..." The phone rang, breaking the dead silence between the two.
It belonged to Pei Yixiao, he glanced at the name on the screen, and quickly answered, "Second brother!" Come and save me...
Pei Yiming seemed to be asking where he was.
"I, Brother Lu and I were having dinner in Wuyi Hutong..." Pei Yixiao hurriedly reported the location, "...Huh? Ah? Second brother, you happen to be nearby? Okay, second brother, come..." Too Alright, my second brother is coming over.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Yixiao said nervously, "Brother Lu, my second brother is coming over."
"Yes." Lu Guantao didn't mind.He continued to pick up the chopsticks, it seemed that the question just now was really just a joke.
But Pei Yixiao couldn't eat any more, looked at the door hoping for the stars and the moon, until Pei Yiming pushed it open 10 minutes later.
"Guantao." Pei Yiming greeted.
Pei Yixiao only felt that Second Brother Pei was filled with an aura called An Xin, and he hurriedly shouted: "Second Brother, Second Brother, come and sit here." He pointed at the empty seat between him and Lu Guantao.
Pei Yiming smiled knowingly, walked over and sat down.
"Second brother, have you eaten yet?" The little dog said eagerly like its master.
"Eat, you don't have to worry about me." Pei Yiming smelled heavily of alcohol, and he came here to avoid a bottle of alcohol on purpose.
"Oh. I'm ready to eat too." I was actually full from fright.
Lu Guantao was not in the mood to eat, so he took out a cigarette for Pei Yiming, and lit one himself, without asking Pei Yixiao, he didn't look like he was smoking.Although this guy also liked to smoke before.
He and Pei Yiming chatted about Su Xun's proposal, talked about Jiang Chengying's club, the nearest forces in the capital, etc., and talked nonsense.Pei Yiming drank a little too much and didn't want to talk much, and Lu Guantao was also absent-minded.
After chatting for a while, they broke up.
The two brothers went back in Pei Yixiao's car, and Lu Guantao took the taxi himself.
Pei Yiming tilted his seat and looked at Pei Yixiao, "What did Lu Guantao tell you?" Although he was a little drunk, he could still see the panic expression on his younger brother's face when he entered the door just now.
"Ah? No, no, I didn't say anything..." Pei Yixiao denied.
"Hmm..." Pei Yiming didn't force him either.Leaning on the seat and closing his eyes, he said after a while, "If you have anything to do in the future, you can discuss it with your second brother, don't hold it in by yourself."
Pei Yixiao was very moved, "...Understood, thank you, Second Brother."
However, no matter what, it is impossible to discuss this matter with you...
