Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 204: Greedy for this moment

She knew that Pei Shi would definitely be curious about what Zhou Ming meant by what he had just said.

Even if she didn't say it now, Pei Shi would definitely know it, because going to H City was not a secret in the first place, Yun Zhi knew about it.

"Zhou Ming said that on purpose to scare me. Originally, I wasn't feeling well before, and my sister had to go on a business trip somewhere else, so she wanted me to go with her to recuperate. But later on, I didn't want to go, so I didn't go."

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but in the end didn’t I get to go?

She knew very well that Zhou Yunqi had done something wrong at the beginning and had not listened to her advice.

But later she realized that her sister still listened to her and now often asked her what she thought.

She could understand Zhou Yunqi very well. Ever since the last time in Country R, ​​when Zhou Yunqi cried and told her that she had avenged her, she knew that her sister must be very afraid of repeating the same mistakes she made in her past life.

That's why I'm always afraid that she might get into an accident for various reasons.

So even if there is a disagreement over one thing, it will not affect her feelings for Zhou Yunqi at all.

Pei Shi knew that she had deep feelings for Zhou Yunqi. From Zhou Niantang's perspective, it must be different from that of others.

This statement was half true and half false, and he did not completely believe it.

But he wouldn't mention it in front of her, for fear that she would get into a tangled mood.

Zhou Niantang thought about it, and suddenly became excited and asked him, "Did you see Zhou Yuan just now?"

Pei Shi: ???

Seeing his puzzled expression, Zhou Niantang knew that he definitely didn't pay attention.

Her mood suddenly improved, and she said to him with a smile: "She has a crush on you, and she asked me about you before."

She felt that since Zhou Yuan had been thinking about him for so many years and even came to her to inquire about him, he must be secretly in love with Pei Shi.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and Pei Shi felt relieved when he saw that she was not affected by what had just happened.

He felt that Zhou Niantang seemed to care a lot about the girl named Zhou Yuan, but he didn't look closely at what she looked like just now.

I'm glad I didn't look too closely!

"It's none of my business, but if she harasses you, you can tell me and I'll deal with it."

Pei Shi thought of Zeng Peipei who had always harassed Zhou Niantang before, and suddenly felt that his handling of the situation at that time was not straightforward enough.

Zhou Niantang is in a special period now, and she cannot let some messy people disturb her recovery.

"Don't worry, she doesn't dare. She played tricks on me last time and was beaten away by my sister!"

As she spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth proudly and said, "Besides, I'm not someone who will be bullied. Don't think of me as too weak."

Didn't Zeng Peipei want to scheme against her, but she ended up turning the tables on him? She was too embarrassed to even say that she had cheated her out of hundreds of thousands of dollars...

Pei Shi felt that Zhou Niantang was alive at this moment.

Even though her strong desire to express herself is a little bit abnormal, she looks very close to her old self.

Only then did he remember that this was the first time they had a conversation without any distractions.

It was just the same idea he had thought of before, which was to get along with her in a normal way.

He began to crave this moment.

But soon, Zhou Niantang started to bring up the past again.

"You just thought I was going to jump into the lake, so you got nervous, right?"

Pei Shi did not hold back: "Yes."

In fact, he wanted to say that it was not just nervousness, but an extreme fear that seemed as if his life was about to be taken away from him, which spread throughout his body at that moment.

Zhou Niantang lowered his head, then asked him in confusion: "Then why didn't you save me when I fell into the water last year?"

There was silence in the air for a few seconds.

Then she looked up and saw that Pei Shi, who always knew everything, had a look of confusion and regret on his face.

Pei Shi knew that Zhou Niantang would definitely care, and he knew that she would ask sooner or later.

Since even he himself couldn't figure it out, how could Zhou Niantang not ask if possible?

"Actually, I don't know either." He said truthfully. He didn't want to deceive her at all.

"Ah?" This was an answer Zhou Niantang had never thought of.

Then she began to wonder if Pei Shi was lying to her. After all, in the eyes of many people, her current situation made her easy to deceive.

How can someone be unaware of their own emotions and perceptions?

Because of hatred and dislike, we choose to stand by and watch, or simply don't want to, so we don't lend a helping hand.

These are all reasons.

But he said he didn't know.

Zhou Niantang was very puzzled. After all, for a smart man like Pei Shi, all his reactions must have been carefully considered.

She would rather he told her directly that he just didn't want to save her at that time, and her life had nothing to do with him anyway.

But she suddenly felt very blocked in her heart, and she found that she had created a new problem for her emotions.

She began to lower her head again, which she thought was her way of hiding her emotions.

But soon, a shadow appeared before his eyes.

Pei Shi squatted down in front of her, looking her in the eye, his voice low and gentle.

"At that time, I seemed to be out of control and all my thoughts were gone. By the time I realized what was happening, you had already been rescued by Yun Zhi."

The dark pupils just stared into her eyes, so sincerely that she felt as if she had to believe it.

"But later, I regretted it and I've always regretted it."

This incident was a thorn in Pei Shi's heart. Later, after he finally faced up to his own heart, every time he thought of it, he regretted it so much that he wished he was the one drowning.

No matter what happened to him at that time, he was the one who did not react. There was no hope of saving him, and he could not shirk his responsibility.

Zhou Niantang pursed his lips. It turned out that the question he had always been curious about had no answer.

Even the person involved didn't know what was going on, which made her feel a sense of emptiness inside, which began to wash over her body along with the insecurity she had felt these past few days.

They live in a book. If what Pei Shi said is true, then will they be controlled invisibly?

She suddenly thought of this very profound question, and then felt a little sad.

But she wanted to continue asking, so she took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"Then why did you want to be with me?"

She remembered that when she asked for the first time, Pei Shi said that it was because he kissed her and he had to be responsible for her.

But what she wanted to know was not this, but why his attitude changed so much in such a short period of time, making her feel so torn.

Pei Shi actually didn't want her to mention this now. If it was in the past, he would be happy to explain it to her.

But now he is already in a state of paranoia, always afraid that he might accidentally make her sad and affect the progress of her treatment.

Zhou Niantang clearly noticed that he seemed reluctant to say it, but she wanted to know now, and she wanted to know urgently.

"Why? Is it because you don't know why you said you were with me?"

Just like the incident of her falling into the water, if that was the case, then, was Pei Shi's liking for her also just controlled?

Her eyes began to sore. If it was as she guessed, then her understanding all along was wrong.

Things like autonomous consciousness and not being bound by settings are all fake.

So what else is true?

She didn't know that her depression was starting to set in and she was getting stuck in a rut. If no one intervened, she would continue to be obsessed with this problem and sink herself to it.

When she was about to sink into the abyss, a pair of dry yet slightly warm hands held her hands that were tightly holding her clothes.

Then she heard him say.

"Of course I know, because I love you."
