The ups and downs of the urban jungle

Sun Jian worked for a while and gradually became familiar with the work, but he felt a special longing in his heart.

Although he can see Ding Pei often now, he hasn't seen Ding Pei's expression like before for a long time, and he misses the subtlety and ambiguity before. He needs this warmth and tenderness. This kind of longing is like a filament worm that has penetrated into the brain, squirming in my mind every day. It makes people have unbearable headaches and make them irritable and uneasy.

He began to wonder again, what kind of affection did Ding Pei have for him? Is it just a simple pity and affection, or is it mixed with some other emotions. He is indeed a bit elusive and unable to judge right now. As for himself, his longing for Ding Pei became stronger and clearer.

Early that morning, Ding Pei suddenly called and asked his parents and Sun Jian to come home for dinner. His parents looked at each other and suddenly remembered that today was Ding Pei's birthday.

Sun Jianyi heard that Ding Pei had a birthday and asked his family to go over to celebrate, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of heat in his heart.

Sun Jian managed to stay up until get off work and left early. When he arrived at Ding Pei's house, his parents were there and the food was put on the table. Sun Jian didn't see Gao Ming. I was secretly surprised and asked cautiously, only to find out that Gao Ming had just led a group to go abroad to take the exam. Sun Jian suddenly felt excited.

The family celebrated Ding Pei's birthday happily. My parents gave me gifts and some blessings, and went home before it got dark. Ding Pei left Sun Jian behind and said that he would go home after giving Mengmeng some tutoring. Of course, his parents didn't say much.

Sun Jian stayed and began to tutor Mengmeng. The nanny was a housekeeper. After cleaning up the stall, he left and went home. Ding Pei also finished cleaning himself up at this time. Come and watch Sun Jian tutor Mengmeng.

In fact, more than an hour has passed since this time. After Meng Meng learned this, his eyes started to tremble. As soon as he saw Ding Pei coming over, he immediately threw down the book coquettishly and leaned into Ding Pei's arms.

Sun Jian was about to stand up when Ding Pei reached out and gently pulled him. Sun Jian was in a dilemma, either walking or sitting. Ding Pei finally spoke

"Today is my sister’s birthday. Don’t you want to sit with me and talk more?"

Sun Jian suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ding Pei boldly. It had been a long time since he had seen Ding Pei with such a confused expression. Sun Jian's heart began to beat suddenly. Ding Pei also suddenly turned red. Face, lowered his head to take care of Mengmeng.

Mengmeng yawned and shouted:"I'm sleepy!""

"well! Let’s settle down your little emperor first!"

Ding Pei asked Sun Jian to hold Mengmeng, get the water himself, and give Mengmeng a simple scrub together. Then he settled Mengmeng down to sleep.

Ding Pei's home is more luxurious and luxurious than his parents' home. It has a two-story duplex building and costs 200 yuan. Multiple square meters. The furniture is all Hong Kong style. The living room is filled with various antiques and many famous paintings are hung on the walls.

While Ding Pei was coaxing Meng Meng to sleep, Sun Jian took a closer look and felt more and more that being an official was wrong. He felt even more insignificant and pitiful.

Probably because Meng Meng had already fallen asleep, Ding Pei came down from upstairs. Sun Jian looked back, it was like a scene he had seen on TV.

Ding Pei walked to Sun Jian, Sun Jian felt a burst of fragrance coming and closed his eyes involuntarily. He tried to calm himself down.

Ding Pei slowly approached and looked at Sun Jian blankly, feeling so strange.

"Sun Jian, what are you doing?"

"I - didn't - didn't do anything——"

Ding Pei couldn't help but look at himself up and down:"Is it - I look like this today?——"

"no no! You are so beautiful today! I'm allergic to perfume!"

"Yeah? I thought - it was me who looked so scary!"

Sun Jian slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ding Pei with a silly smile.

"sister! Actually - I - bought you a gift myself today - for fear of making you laugh.——"

"Yeah? What is it? Show it to sister quickly!"

Sun Jian's face was bright red again, and he took out a small jade pendant from his arms with embarrassment.

"It's from a street stall, very cheap! But - it represents my feelings!"

Ding Pei took it in her hand and looked carefully. It was a jade pendant belonging to her zodiac sign. It is indeed common on street stalls. But Ding Pei was still very excited and moved.

"Sun Jian! Put it on sister! OK?"

Ding Pei couldn't help but spread the jade pendant and handed it to Sun Jian. He closed his eyes and held up his shawl hair with both hands. Sun Jian stepped forward very carefully, holding the pendant with both hands, and passed around Ding Pei's neck.
