Watching Pei Yang rush away, Jiang Ran was completely baffled.
What’s going on?
We were all fine during dinner, how did a simple shower change Pei Yang like that?
The way Pei Yang looked just now, it was as if a ghost was chasing him.
Just as Jiang Ran was thinking this, she saw Pei Huai coming out of the house.
Jiang Ran: I get it!
This is no different from having a ghost chase you.
Jiang Ran’s change in deanor was so obvious that even if Pei Huai wanted to ignore it, he couldn’t.
Besides, Pei Huai didn’t want to pretend he couldn’t see it.
Pei Huai raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong?"
Hearing Pei Huai ask, Jiang Ran didn’t answer, instead, she asked back, "I was just going to ask you, what was up with Pei Yang just now?"
Pei Huai shook his head with a smile, "Nothing much. Boys, as they grow up, always have so strange thoughts, don’t worry about him."
"Is that so!" Jiang Ran nodded, "Then when you grew up, did you have any strange thoughts?"
As soon as she asked this, Jiang Ran regretted it a little.
But it was too late for regrets; she’d already asked it, and there’s no turning back ti.
Jiang Ran watched Pei Huai calmly, but inside she was praying that Pei Huai wouldn’t answer this question.
However, Jiang Ran was disappointed.
Pei Huai nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Ran, "..."
If he has them, he has them. She wasn’t going to ask further!
Jiang Ran thought, just don’t pursue further, but Pei Huai spoke up on his own.
"I was just thinking, those years I was away at college, not coming back at all, was it a mistake?"
Hearing Pei Huai ntion this, Jiang Ran’s expression turned serious too.
Jiang Ran had read books, so at tis she could understand Pei Huai.
Even if it wasn’t about being the male lead, just being treated like that as a man, it would surely be more about escaping rather than staying to face it.
Besides, Pei Huai didn’t completely avoid them, even if he wasn’t there, he sent a lot of money back ho.
If the original character hadn’t hoarded all that money, the days those years with the Pei Family wouldn’t have been so bad.
So how things turned out is definitely not just one person’s fault.
Jiang Ran thought for a while, then softly asked, "Have you figured it out now?"
"I have."
Pei Huai’s voice was steady, speaking each word as if every single one could reach Jiang Ran’s heart.
"There was a ti when I kept thinking, if I had co back during those years, maybe our relationship would be closer than it is now, without this awkwardness."
"But during the ti you were away, I figured it out."
"Even if I had co back then, our relationship wouldn’t be much better than it is now."
"The interaction between people is inherently quite a mysterious thing."
"These years, we’ve been outside each other’s worlds, maybe it’s so we could beco more suitable selves. So when we et again, we can get along better."
"Just like now."
"I’m grateful that when I ca back last year, I was much more composed than when I first went to college, and more mature than throughout my studies."
"Even if I had returned those years, with being angry, immature, and unstable, I definitely couldn’t have gotten along well with you."
Pei Huai’s voice was always pleasant to listen to, and now, when he spoke, it was even deeper and slower.
