…………
[30th Floor] Hui Se Jiu: Hug Xiaoxi, my heart aches for you, child. Next time we meet, I’ll treat you to a big meal.
[31st Floor] [OP] Just Registered A Random Account: A big meal is possible. Actually, I feel very ashamed that you know these things.
[32nd Floor] Hui Se Jiu: Doesn’t exist. I’m just like everyone else, just a reader, not breaking the dimensional wall.

[34th Floor] taste-: Impossible to choose Pei Hao, right? Xiaoxi promise me you will go abroad, leave these psychos.

I don’t know if I should tell Jin Yu about Cheng Yi splashing water on me. Obviously, Cheng Yi has a big misunderstanding about me.
But as soon as Cheng Yi is mentioned, I remember his high-and-mighty attitude towards me that day.
Forget it, let him misunderstand. Best if he gets pissed off.
As for Jin Yu, haven’t decided. Even if I tell him about his brother’s psychotic behavior, what can happen? Go to the hot pot restaurant again and splash him back?
And judging from the previous meetings, I feel Jin Yu can’t do anything about him either.
In the following two weeks, Pei Hao didn’t come to bother me as he said. I don’t know if he really just drove by to look at me from afar, or if he was just too busy with work. Hopefully the latter.
Instead, Jing Ling called me, saying 2016 is about to pass, and wanted to hold a small gathering for university classmates who are close. I confirmed there was no Pei Hao, so I agreed to go.
Classmate gathering, routine business is eating and singing karaoke.
During the meal, everyone started drinking. I saw a few were already high on alcohol. I guess going to KTV is a bit uncertain.
Halfway through the drinking, a boy from our college basketball team asked me how Pei Hao was doing recently.
Asking me is normal, because Pei Hao and I were often tied together in university. I’m not sure if the classmates saw our real relationship, but it doesn’t matter now.
I said calmly I didn’t know, haven’t contacted for a long time. The expression on that boy’s face was very colorful.
“He is in the hospital.” Geng Han chimed in from the side. When he said this, he was looking at me, as if confirming whether I heard it.
“Why is he in the hospital?” That boy asked in surprise.
Geng Han sighed and said: “Seems he was beaten up inexplicably. Asked him the reason and he wouldn’t say.”
The boy expressed surprise: “Didn’t he learn Taekwondo before? And he was in the basketball team, his physical fitness should be very good.”
Geng Han shrugged: “More than ten people besieged him, how to fight? He is not Iron Man.”
My brain buzzed. The first reaction was Cheng Yi did it.
Damn, he is really a lunatic!
But thinking carefully, it felt wrong. Logically, the person Cheng Yi hates most should be me, followed by Pei Hao.
If he only splashed water on me as a warning, why be so ruthless to Pei Hao?
Or maybe, this matter has nothing to do with Cheng Yi, purely Pei Hao provoked people he shouldn’t provoke outside?
Throughout the gathering, I was absent-minded. My mind was full of whether this matter was done by Cheng Yi or not. Thinking back and forth, my brain was about to explode.
Finally, I didn’t go to sing karaoke with everyone. The first thing I did after eating was to call Cheng Yi, although I really didn’t want to hear his voice at all.
But I called for two days, and his phone was always off.
[1st Floor] Meow Maoo: Could it really be Cheng Yi? Was this person’s brain run over by a truck…
[2nd Floor] Tofu Soup le: Too scary Cheng Yi. Can provoke a gentleman for a lifetime, cannot offend a villain for a sentence. People like Cheng Yi, once they go crazy, normal people can’t understand. Xiaoxi, do you still have contact with Jin Yu now? Stay away from their brothers!!
[3rd Floor] Put On Sofa: Person above made me break out in cold sweat.
…………
[8th Floor] First Day of 6012: Why do I feel it wasn’t done by Cheng Yi?
…………
[22nd Floor] Ta €€ Mu Zhi Qiu: I have an idea. Could it be Pei Hao deliberately acted out a scene, wanting Xiaoxi to soften his heart?
[23rd Floor] Night Cat Walk: Why is Cheng Yi’s phone off? Just doesn’t want you to find him.
[24th Floor] Naming Is So Annoying: Seeing Pei Hao beaten, sorry, I laughed.
…………
[31st Floor] A Cup of Milk Tea Every Day: I think what 22nd floor said makes sense.
…………
[37th Floor] ●€€●: Ahhh Xiaoxi how can you stop here, come back!!

Sorry everyone, I was busy with exams recently, so I didn’t update frequently.
I didn’t mean to stop there either >_<, it’s all the exam’s fault, flip table.
Continuing on.
I couldn’t contact Cheng Yi for two consecutive days. Thinking back and forth, I could only find him through Jin Yu.
Maybe you will ask me why I care so much about Pei Hao’s matter. How to say, if he was really beaten because of me, I would feel guilty.
Not because I still like him, but even if a stranger was beaten into the hospital because of me, I would feel guilty.
Can you understand?
Hmm, you are all little angels, you will understand.
Jin Yu answered my call very quickly.
“Can you find Cheng Yi?” I asked him directly, “His phone can’t get through.”
“Why are you looking for him?” Not seeing for a few weeks, Jin Yu’s tone carried a bit of alienation.
“Uh,” I paused, not knowing where to start, “I’ll explain to you slowly later.”
“He is receiving treatment in the hospital, I turned off his phone,” Jin Yu said lightly, “If you want to ask anything, I’ll convey for you.”
If Cheng Yi has been in the hospital, then is it really not him who did it?
I hesitated and said: “It’s okay, talk later when he gets better.”
Seeing I didn’t speak for a long time, Jin Yu suddenly asked straightforwardly: “You want to ask about Pei Hao being beaten?”
I was startled. How could he know?
Could it be that Pei Hao’s hospitalization really has something to do with Cheng Yi?
“Hmm.” I replied.
“No need to ask Cheng Yi,” Jin Yu’s tone was very calm, “I did it.”
My brain was confused again. For the first time, I discovered that Jin Yu’s kindness and friendliness might just be this person’s appearance. I seem to have never understood him.
Both brothers are ruthless people.
“Why?” I asked puzzled.
“He beat Cheng Yi into the emergency room.” When Jin Yu said this, there was a bit of anger. Although he tried hard to suppress it, I still detected it.
My brain fell into a mess.
Pei Hao beat Cheng Yi into the emergency room? Could it be because Cheng Yi splashed water on me last time?
Yes, with Pei Hao’s virtue, he might indeed fight with others for me (happened before).
But based on my understanding of him, at least he has a sense of propriety. Splashing water in public shouldn’t lead to killing someone. I don’t quite believe he would beat Cheng Yi into the emergency room.
Moreover, that Cheng Yi looks so… sickly delicate. Although Pei Hao has a hot temper, he knows the severity.
“So, do you know why he wanted to trouble Cheng Yi?” Jin Yu continued to ask.
I sighed, somewhat helpless: “Maybe because Cheng Yi splashed water all over me in the hot pot restaurant, and he encountered it.”
“Splashed water all over you? Cheng Yi?” Jin Yu couldn’t believe it.
“Hmm.”
“Why did he…” Jin Yu stopped halfway, seeming to have thought of something.
“He seems to have misunderstood our relationship,” I said, actually feeling a bit funny, “He said I’m not worthy of you.”
“……” Jin Yu seemed to have crashed for half a minute too. After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, the tone obviously softened a bit, “If it’s true, then I’ll come to apologize in person another day.”
Even if Cheng Yi is a lunatic, Jin Yu is related to him by blood. It’s meaningless for me to entangle in this matter. Besides, Pei Hao beat him into the hospital.
I quickly replied: “No need, no need. I’m busy studying and preparing for exams recently.”
“Sorry,” Jin Yu said in a deep voice, “But your ex-boy… Pei Hao, he was too heavy-handed!”
I don’t know how serious Cheng Yi’s injury is, and what the situation is on Pei Hao’s side. I just feel irritable in my heart.
The logic line is clear. Because Cheng Yi splashed water on me, Pei Hao beat Cheng Yi, and then Jin Yu beat Pei Hao to avenge his brother. And I don’t know how Pei Hao will retaliate against Jin Yu if he gets better. Dare not think.
Men are really a bunch of things doing brainless things relying on adrenaline.
The most annoying thing is that these messy things all started because of me, but I clearly didn’t do anything!
“Sorry, I didn’t know he would do this.” I felt mentally tired, inexplicably involved in a pile of rights and wrongs, becoming the culprit.
At this time, a noise came from Jin Yu’s side. He hurriedly said: “I have something to do here, talk later.”
Before I could finish saying “Okay”, he hung up the phone.
Three days later, Pei Hao appeared on a chair in the community downstairs of my house, with a thick cast on one leg.
When I passed by, he didn’t mean to come over, probably because he couldn’t outrun me with a lame leg.
Having self-knowledge is a good thing.
He waited downstairs at our house so many times, this was the first time I walked towards him actively. Because I wanted to figure out what exactly he did to Cheng Yi to put him in the emergency room.
And how he plans to treat Jin Yu afterwards.
When he found me walking towards him, he grinned at me, smiling like a husky.
Me: ……
“This time you walked over actively.” Pei Hao raised an eyebrow at me, he seemed very happy.
I waved my hand and clarified: “Don’t misunderstand, I just came to ask you about Cheng Yi.”
Hearing Cheng Yi, Pei Hao’s tone suddenly turned cold: “You mean that idiot who splashed water on you last time?”
“Hmm.” I nodded.
“Stay away from that thing named Jin,” Pei Hao frowned, hatred in his eyes, “Both brothers are lunatics.”
“He said you beat Cheng Yi into the emergency room.” I replied.
“What?” Pei Hao looked at me in surprise, as if I was talking some incredible nonsense, and said somewhat excitedly, “I just hit him twice, and only used less than half the strength. Wasn’t he fine at the time? Went back and entered the emergency room? This is a scam!”
I narrowed my eyes at him and asked: “Just twice?”
“That idiot is weak as hell. Seeing how spirited he was splashing water on you, thought how powerful he was,” Pei Hao exhaled, curled his lips disdainfully and cracked his knuckles, “Resulted in no power to fight back. Boring to beat him.”
Isn’t that nonsense? You, a main player of the school basketball team with a Taekwondo background, beating a person who is sick all year round, what can he do?
I confirmed again: “He was fine when you left?”
“He could still fight back when I left, but later I found he…” Pei Hao shrugged, looked at me, his eyes slowly became gentle, and said, “His side profile looks quite like you, I couldn’t do it.”
“Huh?” I widened my eyes.
What did he say? Me? Cheng Yi? I can’t see what my side profile looks like, but it’s definitely the first time I heard I look like him.
I guess Pei Hao is really confused from chasing me, everyone looks like me.
“Then Jin Yu’s side, you…”
“You don’t need to care.” Pei Hao interrupted me, his voice like ice, staring at me tightly and said, “Or are you reluctant for me to do anything to him?”
“I just don’t hope you two end up hurting each other in the end.” I frowned.
You two can fight however you want, but not because of me. Otherwise, even if I go abroad, I will wake up in the middle of the night because of a guilty conscience.
“Then are you caring about me?” Pei Hao blinked at me. When we were together before, he liked to tease me like this. Because I said his eyes were particularly beautiful.
So many years, seems not changed a bit.
But actually everything has changed.
Don’t know why I recalled those old things again. I tried hard to forget, but the memory area in my brain seems never to have been deleted a bit. They are quietly there, and when Pei Hao does something, they will flash again.
A sense of frustration hit me.
I was a bit discouraged, staring blankly at the floor without speaking.
Pei Hao didn’t know why I suddenly became depressed. He probably thought which sentence of his touched my reverse scale again. After a short hesitation, he said dejectedly:
If you want me to stop, I will stop.
