Endless Fall

  Chapter 105 Take her on a blind date and meet Pei Zhi

  Linxi Kindergarten.

   Rows of Xiaodouding put their schoolbags on their backs, followed the teacher to the door, and waited for the parents to pick them up in an orderly manner.

   The children from the small class to the big class were picked up, and the big classmates from the preschool class also appeared behind the railing.

   Seeing her sister's Xue Jing at a glance, she stood on tiptoe and waved at her, her eyes full of excitement.

   He wore a black and white baseball uniform with embroidery and khaki trousers on his lower body today, looking like a little boy.

  Lin Jiao led him to say goodbye to the teacher. When the noisy voice was gone, she bowed her head and praised him: "Xiao Jing is very handsome today."

   "Hanhan said the same."

   "Is she your best friend?"

   "It used to be, but not now." Xue Jing stood with her on the side of the road, obediently waiting for the green light.

"why?"

   "She confessed to me today and was rejected by me, and she said she would never be my friend again."

  Lin Jiao led him across the road, always paying attention to the vehicles left and right, without being distracted for a second: "You didn't make her cry, did you?"

   "No, she is strong."

   "Then do you still want to be friends with her?"

  Xue Jing shook his head and nodded.

   He thought about it seriously: "I'll reconcile with her when she likes another classmate."

   "What if she only likes you?"

   "Impossible, she likes a lot of people."

  Lin Jiao chuckled.

   She didn't ask about these family matters, she stopped the taxi on the side of the road and asked him to give the master the address.

   "Sister." He raised his head and stared at the lips that were not red enough: "Would you like to put on some lipstick?"

   "I painted it."

   "Then you put some more powder on."

   Thought it was Lin Jiao who was wearing makeup, she took out the air cushion in her bag and looked at it: "I can't wipe it any more, it will scare people."

   "No way." Xue Jing pushed back the long hair that was hanging on her shoulders and insisted that she wipe it a little.

  The helpless Lin Jiao pinched the puff, patted it symbolically, and applied mascara along the way.

   She turned her head: "Is it alright?"

   "Yes." Xue Jing replied seriously.

   He stopped looking at her appearance and looked closely at the car door to the afterimages that flashed through the window.

  The taxi stopped at the entrance of an alley in the old town.

   Mottled walls and uneven roads add a different feeling to this alley.

   Pedestrians chatting and laughing, bicycle bells, and hawkers chanting came into the auricle together, making it inexplicably lively.

   "Xiaojing, shall we eat private dishes tonight?" Lin Jiao led him into the alley.

"Yup."

   "What's that store called?"

   "Guwu." Xue Jing took her to the store and politely reported the private room number to the clerk.

   When he kept up with the clerk, he told Lin Jiao like a little adult: "Sister, you must pay attention to your expressions."

   "How to pay attention?"

   "Laugh more, don't black face."

  Lin Jiao became more and more strange.

   Just as she wanted to pull him and ask, the clerk in front pushed open the private room door.

   The goal is a landscape screen.

  A male figure was reflected on the screen, he sat sideways, and he could vaguely see his smooth outline.

   "Hello." Xue Jing walked to the screen.

   He recited the line: "Xue Taiyao is my son, he asked me to bring my sister over for a blind date."

   "Is he your son?"

   "Yes... No, I am his son."

   A low smile came to his ears, and Lin Jiao, whose brain was buzzing, finally came back to his senses.

   She took a closer look at the screen, whether it was the woman's sixth sense or the voice, they were reminding her of a possibility.

   She tentatively said, "Uncle?"

   "Well." Pei Zhi stretched out a hand towards the screen, waiting for the soft touch to come close to his palm.

  Xue Jing, who ran over with short legs, was puzzled when he saw his appearance: "Brother, why are you here?"

   "A blind date with your sister."

   "Dad didn't tell me."

   "I also just found out." Pei Zhi and Lin Jiao next to each other looked at each other, and they both understood what was going on.

   He picked up Xue Jing and put it on the child seat, poured him a glass of warm water: "Where are your parents?"

"at home."

   "Aren't they coming?"

   "No." Xue Jing held the cup in both hands: "Dad said, it's enough to have me watching you."

  Lin Jiao kneaded that soft and smooth face, feeling angry and amused at the same time: "You actually learned to lie to sister."

   "I didn't lie to you." He said quite seriously: "I told you last time that my father would find you a boyfriend."

"when?"

   "The days when Mom was sick."

  Lin Jiao wasn't impressed enough, but seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he tacitly accepted it.

   She withdrew her hand: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

   "I want to give you a surprise." Xue Jing cast a glance at Pei Zhi: "Dad said he is a good man."

"anything else?"

   "He's a good fit for you and a good match for you."

   "Indeed." Pei Zhi smiled and raised his eyebrows.

   He handed the tablet to Lin Jiao and said to Xue Jing while she was ordering, "I'm already with your sister."

"Really?!"

"real."

  Xue Jing grinned, extremely happy.

   He looked at them back and forth: "Brother-in-law, when did you two get together?"

   Pei Zhi, who called her brother-in-law, was happy both physically and mentally.

   "August." He remembered the time Lin Jiao said, and he would never make another mistake: "I forgot to tell you before."

  Xue Jing didn't care at all.

   As long as his sister is not alone.

   He asked many questions one after another, and kept them in his mind one after another, just for the sake of going home.

   "Eat first." Lin Jiao first scooped a spoonful of his favorite golden corn into his bowl.

   "I have one more question."

"You ask."

   "Are you going to get married?" Xue Jing held the spoon, as if she would not eat until she could not get the answer.

   "Yes." Pei Zhi answered with certainty.

   He gave one big and one small bowls of soup respectively: "I'll let you be a quit boy then, okay?"

   "I want to be a flower girl."

   "Flower girls are for girls."

  Xue Jing then understood the difference between the two.

   He lowered his head, thinking about the scene of being a ring boy, and shoved sweet corn into his mouth.

   Seeing that he ate so deliciously, Lin Jiao and Pei Zhi, who were sitting next to him, both had better appetites.

   The shallow sound of the bowls and chopsticks colliding with laughter lingered in their ears, but they didn't feel the noise.

  When night fell, Pei Qisheng, who was worried that something went wrong, couldn't help but call Pei Zhi.

   He coughed twice: "Have you seen anyone?"

"seen."

"How about it?"

   "Which aspect are you referring to?" Pei Zhi looked at the hand holding the tissue and wiped the corner of his lips for him.

   You can't hear his joy or anger just by his voice.

   Pei Qisheng was too lazy to go around in circles: "Emotionally, do you have feelings for her?"

   "Yes, but..."

   "But what but? You're almost thirty, but you're too embarrassed to pick and choose? If you feel it, grab it and know it?"

   Pei Zhi could imagine his anxious look.

   "But." He paused deliberately, his voice lengthened with a smile: "We were together some time ago."
