Chapter 38
Chapter 38
When Young Master Gu came back to his senses, his body was a little floating, and his brain was faintly dizzy.He rubbed his temples, his slightly dazed eyes fell in front of him.
The person in front of him had slightly curly hair, a delicate and delicate face, and a pair of gentle and clear shallow eyes revealed a cold and stern light at this moment.
Gu Anan looked at the "self" in front of him, and was taken aback by surprise: "You and me... why am I here!"
Pei Ji seemed to have just come back to his senses, frowning and looking at his face before him, calmly said after a while: "It's interpenetrating again."
Young Master Gu's eyes trembled, he looked down at his slender hands, and said in amazement: "I changed it last time, I thought it would be changed forever...Why did I change it again this time without any warning?!"
"Omen." Pei Ji Ning thought for a moment, then looked at Gu An'an deeply, "Before you crossed paths, did you have any common conditions?"
"I..." Young Master Gu thought for a while. The first time they crossed each other, he confessed to being rejected, and he was about to enter Gu's, feeling irritable and drunk; He was almost in danger; but this time, he was relaxing at the beach and just kissed Pei Ji...
It now appears that these things have nothing to do with each other.
"There doesn't seem to be anything... in common."
"But I do." Pei Ji stared straight at him, his cold eyes tinged with tenderness, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "I can hear your cry for help every time before we cross each other."
I heard your cry for help, so I'm here.So, I have a reason to appear in your life.
Young Master Gu's pupils shrank slightly, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.He carefully recalled the details before each cross-transmission. Before joining Gu's for the first time, he was desperate. In the parking lot, he and Pei Ji switched lives.The second time, facing Fan Ming's fierce pursuit, he subconsciously asked Pei Ji for help.But just now, Gu's suffered a serious injury, and he met Pei Ji again who was helpless.
Young Master Gu lowered his eyes, with all kinds of complicated emotions choked in his throat, Pei Ji's existence was like a miracle to him.
And what is he to Pei Ji?
Seeing through the confusion in Young Master Gu's eyes, Pei Ji chuckled lightly: "An'an, have you ever heard that the effect of force is mutual?"
Young Master Gu nodded because he didn't understand.
"You are the same to me." Pei Ji replied.
The first interpenetration, he was chased by his closest partner in the past for revenge, only he knew how much he wanted to get rid of Pei's cage, until the boy in the corner rushed out stubbornly, he was in the boy's body, watching Arrived in another completely different world and got a short period of freedom.And the little flower that had been throbbing since childhood, once again broke ground and revived.
The second time, when he learned of Gu An'an's accident, he felt the fear of losing someone for the first time, and eagerly wanted to return to his body to protect him.
But just now, Gu An'an's distraught appearance on the beach, he was also worried, but he didn't dare to go forward to disturb——
"Now, leave everything to me." Pei Ji said.
Gu An'an looked at him for a moment, like a person trapped on an isolated island suddenly saw a rescue ship, his eyes turned red instantly.
But soon, Gu Anan raised his hand and kept rubbing his eyes, with a stubborn voice: "I'm you now, I can't cry."
Pei Ji watched him quietly for a while, then pulled him into his arms with a thought, and stroked his hair like a smooth hair.
Sensing that the person in his arms was emotionally stable, Pei Ji whispered, "An'an, promise me something."
"Huh?" Gu Anan asked softly.
"Come with me when you're done."
Gu's Group.
After the cross-transmission, Pei Ji came to Gu's live broadcast again instead of Gu An'an, sat at the front of the conference room, and glanced at the managers and the directors in the video.
Today's meeting is of great importance, and will directly determine the direction of the live broadcast of Gu's competitive events. The directors of Gu's headquarters also participated in person.
"5000 million?" Elder Xu frowned, "Mr. Gu, is this price too low?"
In the past, the live broadcast rights of heroes fighting for hegemony were at least hundreds of millions.
Pei Ji raised his head lightly: "Our main business is mainly games. In addition to the sudden increase in traffic some time ago, the brand effect is good. There have been many live events to talk about."
He paused, and said calmly and confidently, "More importantly, our technology can stably support hundreds of millions of traffic, which is our most important weight."
When the directors heard this, they suddenly realized.Everyone has heard about the live broadcast accident that caused the server to be paralyzed due to a short-term surge in user traffic in Heroes last year.The competition party will pay special attention to this point when choosing a partner this year.
Thinking of this, everyone's appreciation for "President Gu" has deepened a bit.Since taking office as Gu's, Gu's live broadcast has grown from a business line on the verge of bankruptcy to a mainstay of Gu's, and everyone is impressed by Mr. Gu's strength.
At the end of the meeting, the old directors said one after another: "Mr. Gu, the hopes of the entire Gu family rest on you."
"As expected of Lao Gu's son, he really has the demeanor of Lao Gu who started from scratch!"
"The monitoring results haven't come down yet, now we can only rely on Gu's live broadcast!"
Pei Ji looked at the video and said calmly, "As for the fraud review by the Supervision Bureau, I happen to have an old acquaintance in the bureau who can assist and investigate the source of the loophole as soon as possible."
While speaking, he glanced at the silent Director Wang.
Director Wang gritted his teeth and dared not speak.
At the same moment, Gu An'an was sitting in Pei's office, the landline phone was ringing non-stop. Y. U. X. I.
Young Master Gu hesitated for a while, secretly thinking that in what age, there are still people using the landline, and it is the landline of the company's office.
He pressed the connect button: "Hello."
The other party was silent for a few seconds, and once made Young Master Gu think that the phone signal was not good, and tried to ask a few more questions, an old and crying voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Pei, you finally answered the phone! I called you hundreds of times and no one answered, so I had to try the office landline."
"You are?" Gu Anan asked doubtfully.
"I'm Lao Chen, the housekeeper who watched you grow up, Mr. Pei, don't you remember me?"
Gu An'an was stunned for a moment, Pei Ji had never mentioned anything about the Pei family to him, so he could only imitate Pei Ji's tone, and said lightly, "Oh, Lao Chen, what's the matter?"
The other end was silent for a while, and begged: "Mr. Pei, the funeral home where Mrs. Pei and Master Pei's ashes are stored will be demolished. Mr. Pei, if you have time...you should go claim it."
The ashes of Mrs. Pei and the master...
Just a few words made Gu An'an's hair stand on end.
The Pei couple actually passed away?He had only heard that the eldest son of the Pei family, Pei You, had died of leukemia, but there was no news about the death of the Pei couple.
The bewildered Gu An'an was thinking about how to reply, and Lao Chen sighed again: "Mr. Pei... I know, the master treated you... really badly before, but he is your biological child after all. Father."
Another thunder blasted in Gu An'an's ears, and Gu An'an seemed to lose his ability to think.Biological father?Isn't Pei Ji the adopted son of the Pei family?
As if the tip of an iceberg had been lifted, Gu Anan couldn't restrain the trembling and doubts in his heart, and his palms were sweating: "Old Chen, where are you now?"
"I'm in the old house of Pei's family. The master entrusted me to come to Pei's house every month to clean the Pei family's ancestral hall. Mr. Pei, you haven't visited the house for many years. I beg you, old Chen, come back to visit when you are free. Well, after all, you are the only blood of the Pei family."
The Pei family, that mysterious Pei family... Gu Anan clutched the phone tightly, thought seriously for a moment, and finally agreed.
In the evening, they drove all the way along the mountainside, and Young Master Gu stopped in front of Pei's mansion.This old house is also a few hundred meters away from his Gu family, and it is also located in an old-fashioned villa area.
When Gu Anan walked to Pei's gate, it was not much different from the house in his memory, but because it was unoccupied all the year round, it was gloomy and deserted, with dead yellow branches and leaves wrapped around the old iron threshold.
Gu An'an rang the doorbell next to the iron gate. If it was his house, Mrs. Gu's Mama Wang would probably come out and hug him in a short while, nagging non-stop.
But standing in front of the door of Pei's house, he pressed it dozens of times, but nothing happened. When he pressed No. 11 times, the door of the back room was slowly pushed open, and the pale moonlight shone on the man's old and ravine face. face.
Holding a broom, the old man walked out slowly. When he saw Mr. Pei, his eyes became more vicissitudes, and he choked up and said, "Mr. Pei, you... are back."
Gu An'an's feet were a little heavy, looking at the door opened to him in front of him, like a mysterious foggy forest, he finally had a chance to clear the clouds and fog, but he hesitated.
It is the same house and courtyard, but it is quite different from the leisurely small bridge and flowing water in his home.He used to think that everyone, like him, grew up held in the palm of their parents' hands, and the rich second-generation friends around him were indeed like this.
Until I met Pei Ji.From the first time he saw Pei Ji, he felt a maturity that didn't match his age, and a different... indifference from ordinary people.
"Boss Pei?" Old Chen asked out loud.
Gu Anan came back to his senses, nodded to Lao Chen, followed Lao Chen through the yard, and stepped into the house.
The wall lamp illuminated the entire empty mansion, which was cold and lifeless.
Gu An'an couldn't help shivering, the last time I came here was more than ten years ago.At that time, it was Mother Pei's birthday, surrounded by flowers and full of voices, but now it was as empty as a cemetery.
Gu An'an walked through the corridor, and there were several old photo frames on the wall cabinets on both sides.
Gu An'an took a closer look. It was Pei's parents who were pushing the wheelchair, and in the center of the wheelchair was a pale-skinned boy.
He remembered that this person was Pei You.
Gu An'an walked all the way to the end, the cabinet was full of photos of Pei's couple and Pei You, none of them were about Pei Ji.
Lao Chen was also silent, and didn't stop until he reached the corner.
"Boss Pei." Old Chen turned his head.
Gu Anan raised her eyes and responded.
"I know..." Old Chen said with cloudy eyes, "Mr. Pei, you must still remember the past... In order to match the best brother's bone marrow for the young master with leukemia, Mrs. and Mrs. I traded with your biological mother to give birth to you, and I specially provided blood transfusions for the eldest and young masters. Before they were alive, they did not dare to ask for your forgiveness." Gu Anan froze suddenly, for blood transfusions... He subconsciously stretched out his hands and put them in his arms. cuff--
The pinhole scar on the slender arm is shocking.
If Gu Anan was shocked by an electric shock, it took a long time for his brain to start working again, so Pei Ji was not an adopted son, but the illegitimate son of the Pei family. He was born to serve as a blood bag for Pei You, and he also carried the identity of an adopted son for most of his life.
None of the rows of photos showed Pei Ji, and they had never seen Pei Ji in the same frame as the Pei family, because the Pei family did not want to raise him as a child at all, just a cold Blood transfusion machine.
Thinking of the sharp needle holes piercing those small lotus root arms inch by inch, Gu An'an's back hurts with chills just thinking about it, and what makes him even more horrified is that every time Pei Ji will fall into a coma and anemia due to blood draw In the bone-chilling and hopeless cold.
The cold young man he met on the steps of the backyard for the first time appeared in front of his eyes, his lonely eyes seemed unable to integrate into the world.
Young Master Gu clenched his hands white. At that time, if he could exchange souls with Pei Ji at that time, even for a minute, Pei Ji would be relieved for a moment. Will the coldness and complexity in Pei Ji's eyes dissipate a bit today? .
Seeing Mr. Pei pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, Old Chen sighed, and the words that no one had confided all year round poured out: "Mr. ...Mr. Pei, live a good life and let go of... everything in the past."
Old Chen turned his head to look at Mrs. Pei and Master Pei in the photo, and shook his head: "What a trick, master, the young master Pei You still left after so many years of treatment. On the day the young master left, you and your wife still wanted to... ...Poisoned Young Master Pei Ji to death, but Mrs. Madam, how could you have expected that Young Master Pei has reached a height that you can't reach now."
Gu An'an, who was protected and raised since childhood, clenched her fists angrily, and hardly dared to continue listening.
Old Chen shook his head, and continued: "Mr. Pei, before he left, the master actually repented. You still remember that four years ago, when you officially served as the president of the Pei family and led the Pei family to flourish, the master got cancer. After a while, Madam also passed away. They also understand that this may be the retribution of heaven."
The whole villa was as silent as dead silence.
Gu An'an felt pain in his heart, closed his eyes, and wished that the encounter ten years ago would take Pei Ji away.After a while, he asked softly, "Is my room still there?"
Old Chen led the way: "Mr. Pei, I've been cleaning your room for you. Come with me."
After leaving the house, he walked around to the backyard and walked up a few familiar steps to the door of the small room.
Compared with the front yard, the utility rooms in the back yard are pitifully small.He pushed the door open and walked in, a slight musty smell came to his nostrils, Young Master Gu couldn't hold back his sneeze.
This is a room that even the servants don't want to live in.
He looked at the tidy beds, cabinets and desks in the room, just like Pei Ji, they were all deserted.He turned around, and the wall behind him was covered with paintings.
Some copy the yard, and some outline the beach.And right in the middle, there is a blue painting of the sea nailed, and above the sea, a white gull with wings spread is carefully outlined.
Young Master Gu kept his gaze on this painting, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable intimacy with this painting.
"Mr. Pei, I have something else to give you. I haven't had the chance to see you for so many years..." Lao Chen took out a stack of documents from his desk and handed it to Gu Anan, "This is The information about your identity left by the master during his lifetime. He is very guilty and wants you to come and announce it to the public in person, so as to put an end to this past."
Gu Anan stared at the information in her hand, it was obviously just a thin stack of paper, but it felt like a thousand pieces of gold.After a while, he took a deep breath, opened it and checked it carefully.
The information is complete, from Pei Ji's birth certificate, to blood transfusion records, to Pei Ji's anemia.Seeing the end, Gu An'an's eyes were already moist.
"Mr. Pei, Lao Chen has finished cleaning today, and it's time to go back and take care of his son." Old Chen bowed to Gu An'an, "If there is anything wrong, Mr. Pei can call Lao Chen directly."
Gu An'an nodded in a daze, watching Lao Chen's hunched figure disappear into the yard.
He was the only one left in the empty villa.
Gu An'an tightly held the documents in his hand, and sat in Pei Ji's room for a long time before retreating from the room and closing the door.
It was dark, and only an old light bulb was flickering in the backyard.Gu Anan walked down the steps a few steps, and suddenly, a dark figure walked into the backyard.
Gu Anan tightened his mind, and looked up——
In front of the withered rose bushes, stood a slender figure.The visitor had a handsome complexion, and his naturally fair face was immersed in the light, which looked a little weird. With bright red lips and slightly curly hair, he looked like a cool and noble boy who came out of a painting.
The person who came was himself.
Young Master Gu was stunned for a moment, he hadn't escaped from the huge shock just now, he was speechless for a moment.
There was no surprise in Pei Ji's eyes, there was even a trace of worry, and he looked at him with complicated eyes.
The two fell silent.
After a while, Pei Ji said, "Old Chen asked you to come, so you came directly? Are you not afraid of any danger?"
Young Master Gu bit his lip, tightly squeezed the information in his hand, and his voice choked up: "But I'm even more afraid that some fool who keeps everything in his mind will suddenly disappear one day."
The current Pei Ji, even if he disappears for a minute or an hour, Young Master Gu will be in a hurry.
Pei Ji was slightly taken aback, and then laughed at himself: "How come, I've been here for so many years."
In the past, he lived in the shadow of the sun, and he has long been accustomed to rumors and darkness. For him, fame is dispensable.From beginning to end, all he wanted was to get rid of Pei's cage and survive.
He didn't bother to explain the rumors of villains surrounding him, because...he grew up in these notoriety and coldness.Qingming and sunshine are things that do not belong to him.
Until Gu An'an appeared.He was confused at the beginning, why someone was born to be loved by everyone, like a well-protected brandy, which can grow without any worries, but he was trapped in the dark soil from the moment he was born. And it took all my strength to get out.
He was puzzled, but at the same time attracted by this unusually beautiful Bai Lan.
He struggled, but couldn't stop approaching.Fortunately, this little Bailan is not afraid of the dark.
Gu Anan jumped down the steps, stood still in front of Pei Ji, with clear eyes, and said word by word: "Don't carry it alone in the future, because you still have me."
Because, I want to return you a piece of sunshine.
Gu An'an gritted her teeth, and secretly clenched the stack of papers in her hand.
Pei Ji glanced calmly at the information in Young Master Gu's hand, paused for a moment, then fell back to "my" firm face, the corners of his stern mouth slightly curled up.
"Okay. I'll listen to you."
The two walked side by side towards the outside of the courtyard. It was already dinner time, and the lights of thousands of houses in the residential area halfway up the mountain were lit up, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of the mountains and the tempting aroma of rice.
Young Master Gu looked back at the empty mansion, and walked beside Pei Ji, as if he wanted to adjust the atmosphere: "What's for dinner tonight?"
"Well, there are rice balls at home, as well as abalone in honey sauce, salmon soup..." Pei Ji raised his hand to close the iron door, and the lock clicked.
"Wow, there are so many, it's great!" Gu An'an opened his eyes wide, and stretched out his hand to pinch the belly of the person around him for a long time, "We are going to get fat again!"
Hearing Young Master Gu's lively muttering, the gloom in Pei Ji's heart was also swept away, and he said with a smile, "Last night, I saw that you are not fat. Your arms, collarbone, waist, and legs are all quite thin."
Young Master Gu's face turned red, and he hummed angrily, "You, you, you... peeping again! I'm going to call the police!"
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows, watching Young Master Gu turning his head and moaning, thinking that Young Master Gu would blow his hair again.
Unexpectedly, the palm of my hand warmed up.
Young Master Gu blushed, his fingers sneaked between his fingers, and then his five fingers intertwined and clasped tightly.
The author has something to say: Mama will never say that I am short again
