Endless Fall

  Chapter 114 Pei Zhen is scared by calling out to Dad

   It is a sunny day.

  In the courtyard surrounded by tile walls, many elderly people accompanied by tea cups came out for a walk.

  The sound of their chatting and laughing did not ease Lin Jiao's nervousness, but even worse than before.

   She took Pei Zhi's arm and followed him into the room calmly, but in fact she couldn't panic.

   "Dad, we're back." Pei Zhi put the gift she bought in advance on the coffee table.

   Hearing the movement, Pei Zhen looked up.

   His eyes wandered over the two of them, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a beautiful voice.

  Lin Jiao blurted out: "Dad."

The name    scared Pei Zhen quite a bit.

   He suspected that he had heard it wrong, and tilted his head and moved his ears forward: "What do you call me?"

  Lin Jiao shouted again in a high voice.

   Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, she quietly tugged Pei Zhi's sleeve twice: "What's wrong with him?"

   "Scared."

   "Am I too loud?"

   "No." Pei Zhi whispered to her ear: "You used to call him grandpa, but he hasn't reacted."

   Pei Zhen really didn't react.

   He put the pieces pinched between his fingers into the chess box, first took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You two sit down and talk."

   "Did Big Brother not tell you?"

"tell me what?"

   "About me and Jiaojiao." Pei Zhi picked up the teapot and added tea to the two porcelain cups.

"Can you say that again?"

   "I'm with Jiaojiao."

   Pei Zhen's mood at the moment was like a pebble being thrown off the lake, causing layers of waves.

   He let out a turbid breath: "How long?"

   "Mid-August."

   "Why didn't you say it last time?"

   Pei Zhi guessed that he was referring to the time on the eve of November.

   He picked up the teacup: "At that time, my relationship with Jiaojiao was still unstable, so I didn't mention it to you."

   Pei Zhen snorted: "It's well concealed." He looked sideways at Lin Jiao: "Jiaojiao, why do you like this stinky boy?"

  Lin Jiao listed a series of advantages: "He is also very good to me and will not make me feel wronged."

   Her overflowing happiness infected Pei Zhen.

   He could see that they cherished this relationship, and didn't hold Pei Zhi any more and said, "Jiaojiao, you accompany me in the next two rounds."

   "Okay." Lin Jiao sat across from him.

   At the same time as she picked up a sunspot, Pei Zhi went to the kitchen and came out with a plate of fruit.

   He watched the chessboard silently, occasionally forking a piece of fruit for them, and then instructing them one or two times.

   Pei Qisheng, who came back from the run, saw the three of them surrounded by each other, so he went over to take a look.

   He pointed to the lower right: "Beautiful, block him."

   A mature male voice came from his ear, which instructed Lin Jiao to raise his head subconsciously and look at the other party.

   Pei Qisheng and Pei Zhi are seven points alike.

   But his temperament is much gentler than the latter, and he has a sense of maturity precipitated after the ups and downs of the world.

   "Big Brother." Lin Jiao called out with a smile, and after calling out, she picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard.

   Pei Qisheng was not as shocked as Pei Zhen.

   But there are still feelings about the change of generation: "You call me young by this title."

   "Is it okay to be young?" Pei Zhen glanced at him, and the ending was long: "You can just have fun."

   "You're right." He really should be happy.

   Pei Zhi handed him a cigarette, avoiding them and sitting on the other side to smoke: "Where's my sister-in-law?"

   "She went to the vegetable market with Sister Luo."

   "Has the Bencheng side dealt with it?"

   "Well." Pei Qisheng pressed the lighter: "Your sister-in-law doesn't plan to contact her anymore."

   Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"
