Chapter 129 It’s ok, it doesn’t hurt anymore
Pei Zhili dodged his gaze and said, "I accidentally pushed her down."
Jiang Tingxia's expression turned serious when he heard this. "Why? How could you do that?"
"She..." Pei Zhili looked embarrassed. He glanced at Pei Yanzhou and seemed to be at a loss for words. "Mom, I'll tell you when we get back."
Pei Yanzhou, standing by, scolded with a cold face, "You little bastard, you're causing trouble again. Do you know your mother is worried about you? You turned off your phone even when you called. Are you getting too arrogant?"
Pei Zhili took out his cell phone and looked at it. "It's out of battery."
Jiang Tingxia didn't argue with him about this, but just looked at Su Cheng on the bed, "What did the doctor say?"
"She just bumped her head, it's nothing serious. It will be fine once she wakes up."
Jiang Tingxia, "..."
If it's nothing serious, why isn't he waking up yet? Could it be a concussion?
Jiang Tingxia was suspicious, but didn't ask any more questions. She just sat down next to Pei Zhili and said, "I'll wait with you until she wakes up. That way you can rest assured."
Although Su Cheng had never thought of meeting his parents without any preparation, she knew that they would not leave until she woke up.
She couldn't pretend any longer. She had been motionless for so long that her body was almost stiff. She could only pretend to have just regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Is this... a hospital?"
She supported herself and sat up, gently covering her head with her hands, her face full of pain, "Hiss, it hurts..."
Pei Zhili pursed his lips and said quickly: "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
Su Cheng smiled at him, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it, I don't blame you."
Pei Zhili certainly didn't mean to do that. When she rushed forward to kiss him, he was so startled that he instinctively avoided her and reached out to stop her from getting closer. He didn't use much force, but she still fell to the side, deliberately knocking over the coffee table next to her, hitting her forehead hard.
A piercing pain came over her, and blood flowed down her face. At the cost of her injury, she managed to see Pei Zhili's rare panic-stricken expression.
In order to make him worry more about her and feel guilty towards her, Su Cheng decided to play it off to the end. She simply closed her eyes and pretended to faint...
He heard him nervously calling her name, then he rushed out like the wind holding her and took her to the hospital.
At this moment, she felt that he had turned back into the Pei Zhili of the past, with only her in his eyes and heart...
Thinking about it, Su Cheng turned to look at Jiang Tingxia and Pei Yanzhou beside him, and said politely, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Su Cheng, and I'm... Pei Zhili's friend."
"Hello, I know you." Jiang Tingxia smiled at her kindly. "Although I don't know what happened between you and Xiaoli, it was wrong for him to hit him. Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson and it won't happen again."
Su Cheng quickly shook his head, "It has nothing to do with him. It happened suddenly. I know he didn't mean to push me down. It was my own fault that I didn't stand firmly."
Her face was pale and bruised, and her words were very considerate, which made her look even more pitiful.
Jiang Tingxia was quite curious about what she meant by "the incident happened suddenly", but neither Pei Zhili nor she wanted to explain in detail, so she could only give up for the time being.
"Okay. How are you feeling now? If nothing serious is wrong, how about I take you back?"
Su Cheng nodded, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
There was nothing to worry about, and it seemed that Pei Zhili was going to go back with them, so there was no point in her staying here alone, so she might as well go back.
...
On the way back to the apartment complex, Su Cheng and Pei Zhili sat in the back seat of the car. She had been secretly looking at Jiang Tingxia who was sitting in the passenger seat.
From her angle, she could only see her profile. She had excellent bone structure, a beautifully curved nose and chin, and skin so white and tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. Even she, a high school student, felt a little ashamed of herself.
If possible, she really wanted to learn from her.
Pei Zhili's stepmother was able to win over his father, a man who had not been close to women for more than ten years. If he could learn half of what she did, perhaps he would be able to make Pei Zhili fall in love with her.
Returning to the apartment, Jiang Tingxia took a look at the environment and patted Pei Zhili's shoulder with satisfaction. "It's quite nice here. You are thoughtful."
After that, she turned to Su Cheng and said, "If you need anything, just tell him and let him arrange it for you."
"No, Auntie. It's already great. Living in this place is something I could only dream of before. I can't ask for too much."
This is true, Su Cheng is very satisfied with this place.
Jiang Tingxia glanced at the time. It was already past nine in the evening. Thinking that they might not have eaten yet after something like this happened, she asked, "Have you had dinner? If not, how about I make you something to eat?"
Su Cheng was startled. She didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic. "How can I trouble you, Auntie? I will feel bad."
"Don't feel bad, it's just a simple matter of making a bowl of noodles."
Su Cheng was afraid that she would seem hypocritical if she kept refusing, and she was really hungry, so she simply agreed, "...Okay then, thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Tingxia went to the kitchen, found noodles and eggs, and prepared to cook.
Pei Yanzhou was not used to being with children, so he followed her in and put his arm around her waist, "I want to eat too."
Jiang Tingxia glanced at him and smiled slyly, "Don't you want to maintain your figure? Carbs make you fat."
Pei Yanzhou choked and sighed, "Then I'll do it with you."
Su Cheng looked at the two of them busy in the kitchen, talking and laughing, and suddenly felt envious.
This is what she longs for, to have a home of her own and be with the person she loves. Even if they only have simple meals every day, it will be warm and happy.
Pei Zhili stood aside without saying anything, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
In his mind, he still remembered the scene where Su Cheng suddenly rushed up to him and wanted to kiss him. He was really scared and subconsciously avoided her.
At that moment, he saw her disappointed and sad eyes.
So much so that he suddenly began to doubt whether she really didn't like Lu Yuanze anymore, but... liked him?
Thinking of this possibility, Pei Zhili's heart beat faster.
Many girls had confessed their love to him, but he hadn't felt anything and hadn't taken them seriously. But Su Cheng's confession had completely messed him up, and his mind was almost a mess.
Perhaps, Su Cheng was someone he had cared about for many years, and he couldn't pretend not to hear and ignore it.
Looking at the girl's fair and beautiful profile, Pei Zhili's throat rolled over and he took the initiative to find a topic, "Are you... still in pain?"
Su Cheng turned to look at him and smiled palely, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"sorry."
"It's okay, I said I don't blame you." Su Cheng smiled again, and then looked into his eyes seriously, "Pei Zhili, do you really not believe what I said at that time?"
