MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 101
The two hugged each other and lay back on the bed again. The light at the head of the bed quietly shone, enveloping the unique warmth that only belonged to the two of them.
Pei Yi raised her head, and kissed Bo Yueming's Adam's apple and chin respectively, "Second brother, no matter what I say next, you have to believe that what I tell you is the truth, and I didn't intend to tease you."
"Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have been trying to find a suitable explanation and rhetoric."
But how can there be an appropriate word for such a thing as "wearing a book"? Who wouldn't find it too ridiculous?
Bo Yueming saw Pei Yi's worry, and took the initiative to start the topic, "Why don't you let me guess first?"
Pei Yi was taken aback, "Huh? Guess?"
Bo Yueming circled the lover in his arms tightly, and told the guess he had made early in the morning, "You are not the original 'Pei Yi'."
"From the first time you entered the Bo family and married me, or earlier, you have replaced 'his' name, identity and position."
"And you were willing to marry me at the beginning, but you just wanted to use this relationship and the cover of the Bo family to escape from the Pei family, didn't you?"
"..."
Pei Yi was stunned and blinked, both surprised and admired, "Second brother, you, how did you guess that?"
Seeing his cute attitude, Bo Yueming knew that he guessed most of it right, "I have guessed vaguely since my eyes got better."
"At first I just thought you were pretending to be stupid, but then I found out that your behavior and habits are very different from the original Young Master Pei."
No matter how well a person disguises, there will be loopholes.
The same is true of everyone's personality, it is impossible to change it at will, at least it is impossible to become a different person—
In the impression of outsiders, Young Master Pei is stupid, introverted, timid and silent when things happen, but Pei Yi in his eyes is smart, cunning, and dares to fight back secretly when things happen.
"I sent people to investigate the original young master. He has been raised in the Bo family since he was 'stupid'. Even if the Pei couple brought him to the banquet in the past, he didn't know how to drink and didn't drink. Can you understand so many detailed wine cultures?"
Pei Yi groaned, "I didn't expect that my love of drinking has become my weakness."
Bo Yueming kissed the tip of his nose lightly, "Pei Yi, but I'm glad that you were the first person I met, the one I fell in love with, and the one I fell in love with."
There is no substitute, and it is not easy to get it wrong.
Pei Yi also felt extremely lucky when she heard this level of consideration.
Bo Yueming took the initiative to mention his confusion, "However, you and 'Young Master Pei' have the same appearance, and you are indeed him in the eyes of outsiders. I really haven't thought about it."
"To tell you the truth, I have searched the internet for some unreliable 'soul-moving' spells, but I couldn't find a reasonable answer."
Hearing Bo Yueming's frankness, Pei Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
For some reason, he imagined Bo Yueming secretly investigating these "metaphysics" materials behind his back, and always felt the contrast was particularly cute.
"Okay, don't laugh, I know the content on the Internet can't be trusted."
Bo Yueming stopped it, but there was no displeasure in his eyes, he just asked with hidden expectation, "Now that things have happened, you still have to tell me the answer."
Pei Yi regained her composure and pursed her lips, "Second brother, if I said that this world only existed in the stories in books at the beginning, and I traveled from my 'real world', would you believe me?"
"..."
Bo Yueming frowned slightly, as if he was still reacting.
Afraid of his denial, Pei Yi hurriedly added, "I know, for you, Li Yuan, and Yan Cen, this is the living real world, and I also think so after staying for a long time."
"If, if you can't understand the term 'crossing a book', then you can just assume that I am from a parallel world!"
"The original owner was stimulated when he heard about the marriage, and ran out to jump into the river and drown, but I stayed up for several nights in a row to structure the game plot, so I replaced him by accident, and then stayed here. "
Pei Yi spoke more and more urgently, "I, I really didn't make up stories to coax you, I..."
Bo Yueming said in time, "Little cat, I believe in you."
"ah?"
Pei Yi was taken aback, and asked again and again, "You, don't you think this is ridiculous?"
"What's so absurd? Whether it's the book transmigration, parallel time and space you mentioned, or the soul transmigration and rebirth I think—"
"No matter what the reason is, I only care that the person in front of me is you, and the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life is you, and that's enough."
Moreover, the explanation Pei Yi gave is enough to explain all his past mysteries.
Bo Yueming kissed his lips, leading the conversation, "Then tell me again, what is it like for you in 'that world'?"
Pei Yi felt relieved and chuckled, "Yes."
The lover readily accepts the most difficult part to explain, and then he will be able to confess his life experience logically.
"Second brother."
"Um?"
Pei Yi started calmly, "Actually, I'm an orphan. I didn't know who my parents were from the moment I was born."
The tone that couldn't be calmer, but it set off an uproar in Bo Yueming's heart. Distress quickly appeared between his brows and eyes, and he took a light breath—
Bo Yueming originally thought that with his lover's appreciation of wine and confidence in his career, nine out of ten he was also a child raised by a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that the other party told him a completely different growth experience.
orphan?
No wonder the lover was so active in following up the charity work of the orphanage when he was in Haishi. So it was because of his own personal experience?
As it is said on the Internet: "Because I have been in the rain, I thought of giving umbrellas to others."
Pei Yi stretched out her hand to gently smooth Bo Yueming's brows, and continued, "I grew up in an orphanage, where there are children who have no parents or relatives and are waiting for adoption."
The orphanage back then was not considered rich, and there were very few people who sponsored it. Everyone slept together every night.
They eat sweet potatoes, corn and buns, drink boiled water and soy milk, and occasionally sugar water. Milk and desserts are rare things for children like them.
"Clothes are left by the older children for the younger ones to wear, toys... basically no toys."
Pei Yi talked about the few memories in her childhood, "Second brother, do you still remember the straw butterfly we bought at the foot of Yanshan Mountain?"
Although after bringing the little straw butterfly back home, it was almost obsessed by the pet detective.
Bo Yueming responded, "I remember."
Pei Yi recalled, "My first toy was a grasshopper, which was given to me by a passing peddler. Unfortunately, I was too thin and weak to protect my own toy."
"In a few days, it was snatched by the older children in the orphanage and broke it. I was so angry that I was still fighting with them."
Pei Yi spoke lightly, but Bo Yueming felt sad when he heard it.
In contrast, he had the love of his biological mother before the age of six, and the protection of Mrs. Bo after he came to Bo's house.
Compared with his childhood sweetheart, how could he not be happier?
Bo Yueming caressed the back of his lover's neck, and asked softly, "Then you, have you been staying in the orphanage?"
Pei Yi leaned into his arms and shook her head, "No, I was adopted by a couple when I was nine years old."
Bo Yueming was startled, "husband and wife?"
"Well, same-sex marriage over there is legally recognized like yours here, and each couple can adopt up to two children."
Bo Yueming's mind was slightly relaxed, but he still wanted to know more, "Are they treating you well?"
A trace of complexity flashed across Pei Yi's eyes, and he still talked about the past with a smile, "Okay, of course, before I met you, Dad Yan and Dad Rong were the best people I have ever met."
"Second brother, do you know? Yan's father is six years younger than Rong's father, and he will be young."
The corners of Bo Yueming's mouth curved upwards, "Well, what then?"
Pei thought that his lover was curious, so he shared all the few good times in his memory—
Zong Boyan was born in a famous family, and he has capital and strength at a young age. Before meeting Bo Yueming, Pei Yi really couldn't find anyone who could compare to his father.
The older Xu Rong is a well-known painter in the industry. He became a professor at a first-class art university in his early twenties, and has held many solo exhibitions overseas.
"...Papa Yan has a younger sister who was a student of Papa Rong's when she was a freshman."
The first time Zong Boyan and Xu Rong met was outside the university classroom.
The unscrupulous Zong Boyan who was waiting for his younger sister to leave get out of class met the gentle and supreme Xu Rong who was teaching for the first time.
It's hard to tell whether it was love at first sight or love at first sight, anyway, after a series of twists and turns, the two were officially together.
After much deliberation, the two lovers adopted Pei Yi, who looked the most well-behaved and the thinnest in the orphanage.
Pei Yi recalled her childhood, "I might have been malnourished at that time. I was almost ten years old and I was much shorter than the average children of the same age. Back then, I won by relying on pity, so I was selected among all the children."
Bo Yueming was helpless, "Are you still proud?"
Pei Yi raised her eyebrows, "Of course, from the orphanage to the young master of a rich family, in the eyes of children of the same age, I have reached the sky in one step."
Bo Yueming smiled, just listening to the man in his arms continue to narrate, "Besides red wine and programming, I also have a lot of 'money-burning' skills that I learned from Dad Yan."
"By the way, Dad Rong will also teach me how to draw, and even make desserts for me in different ways."
"I have missed a lot of courses in the orphanage. Not only will they hire private teachers, but they will also tutor me personally when they find time."
All of these are enough to weave into the rare happy moments of Pei Yi's childhood.
While talking, Pei Yi suddenly fell silent.
Bo Yueming saw through his sudden downturn, and asked in a low voice, "Little cat, what's wrong?"
Pei Yi subconsciously moved closer to Bo Yueming's arms, and finally brought up the turning point, "I thought I would always be this happy, and Dad Yan and Dad Rong would always be this happy, but the fact is not."
Bo Yueming cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"
"When I was thirteen, Dad Rong brought a class of graduate students majoring in pure fine arts. One of his students plagiarized a very unpopular work, and he discovered it."
Xu Rong has an unshakable sacred pursuit of painting, so he naturally dislikes such behavior.
He canceled the student's grades, and called him to the office to severely criticize him, hoping that he could turn over a new leaf.
Pei Yi's tone became a little stronger, "The starting point of this is correct, but the bad thing is that the graduate student's family has suffered an accident, and the negative emotions have already reached the extreme."
After the other party left Xu Rong's office seemingly calmly, he chose to jump off the building late at night the next day.
"The most puzzling thing is that he left a public suicide note before jumping off the building. He accused Father Rong of preventing him from graduating for his own benefit!"
It is also said that Xu Rong pretended to be a gentleman and actually sexually assaulted him in the office.
Pei Yi is well aware of Xu Rong's character, and understands that this suicide note is a flagrant malicious revenge.
Obviously he was not doing well, so he wanted to drag someone to be buried with him, but Xu Rong never did this at all.
"..."
Bo Yueming was shocked, he didn't expect things to go this way.
Graduate student, jumping off a building, professor, sexual assault, these words combined together immediately caused an uproar on the Internet!
Countless curses poured into Xu Rong's life, and the deceased's father took this opportunity to blackmail him wantonly. Netizens who didn't know him jointly signed a boycott, but the voices that really spoke for him were completely drowned in the wave of condemnation.
Even though Zong Boyan collected evidence and made all-round clarifications in the fastest time, there are still keyboard warriors who don't distinguish between right and wrong, believing that Zong's capital is behind it, and swearing and attacking Xu Rong day after day!
The damage caused is indelible, and the filth eventually swallows tenderness.
"Father Rong fell ill, and his depression became more and more serious, and even began to affect the people around him uncontrollably."
Pei Yi remembered Xu Rong's changes bit by bit in his memory, and his eyes turned red, "The more this happens, the more guilty he will be."
Xu Rong felt guilty that he could not be a "lover" or a "father", and even under the criticism of the keyboard man, he took all the faults on himself——
He felt that it was because he failed to detect the student's emotions in time that he was on the road of no return.
But Pei Yi knew very well that it was never his fault to do something wrong.
"Although Dad Yan was very busy at that time, he still put down his work and stayed with Dad Rong. Because he was afraid of neglecting me, he could only temporarily send me to boarding school, but I could still come back once a week."
"I have seen many people say that depression is not only internal friction, but also consumption of people around you."
As it turns out, this is indeed the case.
Every weekend when she comes home from school, Pei Yi can feel that the atmosphere at home is getting colder and colder little by little.
It went on like this for a full year, and finally at the age of fourteen, Pei Jian saw the quarrels between Zong Boyan and Xu Rong again and again.
The causes are all trivial matters, mostly because of Xu Rong's sensitivity and worrying.
"At the beginning of the small quarrels and small conflicts, my father would patiently coax him at the first time, but gradually he changed, and occasionally even slammed the door and went out instead of going home after a quarrel."
Pei Yi has no way of judging the right and wrong between the two fathers, Xu Rong is suffering from illness, but Zong Boyan, who is taking care of both family and career, can relax?
The contradictions split more and more until they couldn't get along.
"I came back from training camp one day and found the house in a mess, with broken wine bottles and utensils all over the floor."
"Father Yan is not at home, and the phone can't be reached. I searched around and found Papa Rong with a pale face in the studio on the third floor."
"Ever since he got sick, Father Rong seldom entered that studio. When he saw me, he said he was waiting for me to come back."
The pills that fell on the ground, the crumpled waste paper, and countless pieces of paint formed a cramped and dark space.
Pei Yi had an intuition that the atmosphere was not right, but he still approached the company worriedly, but the scene of fear that made him feel shadowed happened—
Xu Rong strangled him crazily, accusing Zong Boyan of betraying him. The other party had already had a new love behind his back and stopped loving him!
He also viciously reminded Pei Yi not to get emotional, and not to jump into the fire pit whatever he said.
Pei Yi didn't know what happened during the week she was away, and she couldn't tell whether Zong Boyan had a new love or not.
He just knows that this relationship that has been with him for many years has finally come to the end of seeing each other and hating each other.
"Dad Rong is holding a utility knife in front of me, self-self..."
Pei Yi thought of the blood in the last scene, her eyes turned red again, and her breathing was visibly trembling.
Bo Yueming kissed his eyebrows and stopped him in time, "Okay, let's stop talking."
"Good boy, all this is over."
"..."
Pei Yi buried her face in Bo Yueming's arms, silently pouring out the haze that had not been released in these years.
If he just didn't know how to explain the matter of "wearing a book", then the ending of the adoption was the past he was most afraid to face.
"Second brother, I'm sorry."
Pei Yi choked up in a low voice, revealing her hesitation in the past, "I started to avoid your relationship so much and didn't want to think about our future, because the shadow of this incident cast a deep shadow on me."
Even if Xu Rong's situation is just an example, the shadows in the process of growing up are shadows after all.
Faced with his lover's apology, Bo Yueming felt extremely distressed, "Baby, you are right, you don't need to apologize to me."
"I should thank you for being willing to tell me all this, but I won't mention the past in the future, so don't even think about it, okay?"
"Trust me, we're not like them."
"Um."
Pei Yi whimpered a little, and waited until she calmed down a little before continuing, "After Father Rong's accident, I escaped from that 'house'."
Pei Yi worked odd jobs in Computer City for two years, and the boss was a retired technician.
Pei Yi learned a lot from the other party, and then, he met the first group of friends in real life.
"After getting along for a period of time, I accepted their invitation to start a business with my own game ideas."
"We have struggled for several years, and we have made some famous names."
Bo Yueming praised at the right time, "My kitten is awesome."
Pei Yi finally smiled back, and heard her lover ask again, "Little cat, how old were you before wearing the book?"
Pei Yi said, "Maybe twenty-five or six, I don't have an exact date of birth."
Bo Yueming asked again, "Since it's a book, what's in it?"
Pei Yi guessed that the other party would ask this question, so she briefly recounted the story in the book.
As a "villain", Bo Yueming frowned, "Both 'I' and 'Yan Cen' in the book are interested in 'Pei Huan'?"
"Am I brainless or is he brainless? Kitty, have you read pirated novels?"
Pei Guan's lover even scolded himself when he became "ruthless", and chuckled, "I have thought about this problem too, but I can't figure it out."
After all, "book" is dead, and "person" is alive.
When "this world" becomes real, the characters in the book should have their own subjective consciousness, instead of rigidly following the text settings to operate.
Bo Yueming didn't get entangled in this issue, but just teased him, "Why do you like reading this kind of novel?"
"..."
Pei Yi blushed for a moment, "I don't like it, it's because of work needs."
Bo Yueming was puzzled, "I need it for work."
Pei Yi replied truthfully, "Our company wants to pursue the market's popularity and develop a mobile game with otome-oriented micro-psychic decryption."
"Originally, I only had to be in charge of the supernatural decryption plot, but the other planner who was in charge of the relationship line spoke well, so I couldn't be ignorant."
It's just that Pei Yi has never been in love from the beginning to the end, how would he know how the emotional line of this kind of game will be interspersed into the plot?
"The other party saw that I really didn't know anything, so he recommended a similar game to me, and dozens of articles similar to the direction of heartthrob, let me do more research."
Thinking of this, Pei Yi couldn't help but start complaining.
"Second brother, you don't know, the titles of those novels make my mind full of question marks, and this "The Wrong Love of a Rich Family" looks more normal."
Bo Yueming responded, and it was very hard to hold back a smile.
Pei thought of this, and thought of another thing, "Second brother, do you remember what I said the first time I saw you?"
Bo Yueming replied, "Of course I remember, I was really shocked at the time."
Pei Yi smiled embarrassedly and revealed the truth.
When he was researching the Otome-oriented games recommended by planning, he found that the longest comment from the players was - first meeting, liking, single push, marriage, husband.
"At the beginning, I stayed at Bo's house in order to pretend to be stupid, so I had to make a quick decision."
—Like, marry, husband.
Bo Yueming didn't expect that there was such a little secret hidden in the shocking conversation when he first saw it, and suddenly his shoulders collapsed, and he fell into the neck of his lover laughing.
For a moment, he forgot about the unpleasant encounter at the hotel in the evening.
Pei Yi's shoulders and neck were rubbed hot, and she muttered unconvinced, "Isn't it appropriate? I think I have studied it thoroughly."
Bo Yueming stopped reluctantly, and coaxed him to explain, "Baby, I think you are cute."
Enthusiasm flooded Pei Yi's face, and she continued to grasp the rhythm of the chat, "Second Brother."
"Um?"
"I told you all my secrets, and I also knew about your past pain. From now on, the two of us will be with each other, okay?"
Pei Yi's eyes were shining, and for the first time, they were full of expectations for the future.
"I promise you, as long as you live up to me, I will accompany you for the rest of your life, so I hope you can do it too, okay?"
Bo Yueming asked "How are you?" two times in a row, and Bo Yueming's heart was soft, and the haze was all gone.
He lowered his head and kissed Pei Yi's lips for a long time before giving up, "Okay."
Pei Yi got the answer she wanted, so she leaned into his ear and uttered the truth, "Bo Yueming, I love you."
It was rare for Bo Yueming to feel his eyes warm up, and he responded solemnly, "I love you too."
