After Playing the Fool And Marrying the Blind Villain – Extra Eight
A week later.
Pei Yi followed Bo Yueming into the small living room on the second floor. He looked left and right, and couldn’t help but affirm, “Er-ge, the door to your room is so big, ah.”
“I usually only use the master bedroom. The living room and the room on the other side are empty. Come in and put down your school bag.” Bo Yueming explained briefly and motioned for him to sit down in a corner of the small living room.
In order to fulfill the promised “supervised learning,” Bo Yueming had specially asked Uncle Kai to buy a two-person study table for the living room so that Pei Yi could sit by his side and study.
Pei Yi did so quickly and took out his textbook homework.
Bo Yueming sat down next to him with his study notebook and asked, “Which classes are you struggling with?”
“Uh…..”
Pei Yi thought for a moment and said honestly, “Math and English.”
The former was only a small problem, but the latter was a big one.
Nine out of ten children living in the capital would learn English early on. Pei Yi had worked hard to catch up in the past couple of years, but still had some difficulties.
Bo Yueming specially selected his mathematics and English textbooks, really looking like a teacher. “There’s no rush, let’s go step by step. You do the homework assigned this week. I’ll look at the content of your class first and then strengthen your knowledge in a targeted manner.”
This sounded very professional.
Pei Yi’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”
With that said, he opened his homework book and began writing with extra concentration.
Bo Yueming flipped through Pei Yi’s books and read the content carefully. When he turned his head, he found that Pei Yi was still immersed in his studies, but his head was nearly as low as his homework.
Bo Yueming frowned unconsciously when he saw his posture, and without thinking, reached out to pinch the back of his neck. “Pei Yi.”
“Wu.”
Pei Yi was so ticklish that he shrank his neck and looked around slowly in confusion. “E-Er-ge?”
Bo Yueming lifted him up like a kitten to correct his posture. “That isn’t good for your eyes. Sit up straight before writing.”
Pei Yi sat upright. “Oh.”
Bo Yueming retracted his hand and watched him in a supervisory manner for a moment. Pei Yi noticed and sat up straighter.
This went on for some time.
Only then did Bo Yueming open his notework and get to work.
. . . . . . .
Time passed minute by minute.
After an unknown amount of time, Bo Yueming felt his arm being lightly poked by a pen. “Er-ge.”
Bo Yueming met Pei Yi’s troubled eyes. “What is it?”
Pei Yi pushed his math homework over and tapped on the last question, cute and honest. “I can’t do it.”
Bo Yueming understood the concept and solved the problem after two glances. He picked up the spare pen and paper and motioned to Pei Yi. “Come closer.”
Pei Yi quickly moved over.
It was a pity that Bo Yueming occupied a positional advantage, and was writing with his right hand. Even though Pei Yi tried his best to stretch his neck to see, his sight was still partially obscured.
Pei Yi stood up quickly. “Er-ge, wait a minute, I can’t see.”
Bo Yueming noticed the problem at once and stepped back slightly to open the distance between the chair and the table. “Come over here and stand in front of the desk.”
Pei Yi hurried to move over, and stood between Bo Yueming and the desk.
“Can you see clearly now?”
“En!”
Bo Yueming moved forward slightly and unconsciously held Pei Yi in his arms, continuing to explain with paper and pen, “There is a trick to this question. You have to choose how to identify…..”
The two of them had ridden horses before in a similar posture, but Pei Yi’s attention had been completely attracted by their speed. At this moment, he listened to the tone of Bo Yueming’s speech and unknowingly fell into a trance.
“Pei Yi?”
“Ah?”
“Ah? What ah?” Bo Yueming noticed his lack of attention and asked helplessly, “What are you thinking about? Do you understand what I said to you?”
“……’
Pei Yi smiled sheepishly and answered, “Er-ge, your voice is very nice.”
Hearing these meaningless words, Bo Yueming laughed angrily. He couldn’t help but pinch the back of the other person’s neck with his hand, pretending to be stern. “Pay attention!”
He used a bit of force, and it hurt a little.
Pei Yi quickly admitted his mistake. “I, I understand!”
Bo Yueming let him go when he saw him behave, and explained his problem-solving method again. Fortunately, Pei Yi’s little mind was very clear, and he learned quickly.
Bo Yueming glanced at the clock. It was three o’clock in the afternoon.
He looked at Pei Yi, who could be considered self-controlled and sensible, and instructed him gently, “All right, let’s rest for half an hour before continuing. I’ll go downstairs first.”
“Okay.”
. . . . . . .
About twenty minutes passed.
Pei Yi heard footsteps outside in the hallway, and at the same time, smelled something sweet.
Noticing something, he immediately turned and looked toward the door of the living room. Sure enough, Bo Yueming walked in with Uncle Kai, who was holding an exquisite afternoon tea tray in his hands.
Uncle Kai met Pei Yi’s gaze and said with a smile, “Are you hungry, Little Sir? I heard that the Second Young Master prepared egg tarts and milk for you in advance.”
Pei Yi suddenly became energetic, but before he could move from the table, he was pushed back into his chair by Bo Yueming, who had walked back quickly.
“Uncle Kai, please let those things cool first. We’ll eat them later.”
Having said this, he placed a fresh A4 paper test sheet in front of Pei Yi. “These three questions are about the same difficulty as the last question in the homework book just now.”
“—Ah?”
Pei Yi gave a rare frown and let out a melancholy cry.
Bo Yueming laid down the conditions. “If you answer these three questions correctly, you can eat two egg tarts.”
Pei Yi was actually in some distress from the smell of the egg tarts, and held two fingers out to bargain. “I’ll eat two first and then do the questions, okay?”
Bo Yueming said heartlessly, “No.”
Refusing to give up, Pei Yi silently retracted one finger. “Then I’ll eat one first. Er-ge, I’m hungry.”
The coquettishness in the last two words was particularly obvious.
“……”
Bo Yueming met his expectant gaze and barely held on to his bottom line. “You can eat first, but one more question will be added after you eat, okay?”
Pei Yi was so happy that he immediately grabbed the other’s right hand and said, “Deal!”
Then he quickly went up to Uncle Kai and called out endearingly, “Uncle Kai, you can make egg tarts? Amazing! They look delicious!”
Uncle Kai observed the way the two children got along with each other. He smiled gently, feeling glad in his heart—
With this Little Sir’s liveliness and cuteness, it seemed that the Second Young Master would not be too bored in the days to come.
. . . . . . .
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the term.
After washing up, Pei Yi remained in the bathroom, holding his smartwatch and talking to Xu Rong on the phone. “Father Rong, don’t worry about me. I’m fine at Er-ge’s house.”
Xu Rong’s father back in his hometown had fallen ill, so he and Zong Baiyan hurriedly packed their things and left the capital on today’s earliest flight.
Fortunately, after four months of spending time together, the relationship between Pei Yi and Bo Yueming had become better and better, and Xu Rong dared to leave Pei Yi in the care of Bo Yueming and Uncle Kai temporarily.
“Be good, Baobei. Father Rong and Father Yan will be back in two days.”
“Okay.”
Pei Yi disconnected with Xu Rong and then rushed out of the small bedroom wearing his own thick pajamas.
Bo Yueming was still sitting at the desk in the corner of the living room while flipping through the information in his hands with seeming casualness, an untouched glass of warm milk beside him.
Pei Yi approached. “Er-ge.”
Bo Yueming was not surprised by his appearance. He took the lid off the cup of milk and handed it over to him. “Drink this before you go to sleep and you’ll grow taller.”
As soon as Pei Yi heard the words “grow taller,” he took it guilelessly at once.
He sat on the chair and drank his milk, and couldn’t help but glance at the other person’s hands. “Er-ge, what are you reading?”
Bo Yueming’s hands paused, and he said, “……Information on studying abroad.”
He looked to the side at Pei Yi and said in a calm tone, “Grandma wants me to go study abroad right after this year.”
“…….”
Pei Yi stopped drinking his milk, unable to react. “S-Study abroad? Where?”
Bo Yueming observed his expression and said honestly, “I haven’t decided yet.”
“Oh.”
Pei Yi responded dully, and then had to ask, “Er-ge, isn’t the Imperial Capital university good?”
He had originally thought that Bo Yueming would be admitted to the Imperial Capital University, which was also his own goal.
Bo Yueming replied, “Of course.”
Pei Yi couldn’t help but hold tight to the cup of milk, still feeling a little upset.
The term “study abroad” was too unfamiliar and distant for him.
He was already very satisfied that he could get out of the orphanage and live and study well under the love and care of Father Rong and Father Yan. Pei Yi didn’t dare to think about spending money to travel farther away.
Bo Yueming put away the information in his hands, not wanting to waste time talking about things he had not yet decided. “Pei Yi, are you okay sleeping alone tonight? Uncle Kai cleared out the small bedroom for you.”
“I’m okay.”
Pei Yi also slept alone at home.
Bo Yueming urged in a warm voice, “Go to bed early after drinking your milk. I’m going to take a shower first.”
“……”
Seeing the half glass of milk left, Pei Yi was inexplicably not happy to drink it.
He set the cup back on the table. “I can’t drink any more.”
Bo Yueming caught Pei Yi’s flash of emotion, but before he could ask further questions, the other party quickly rushed back to the door of the small bedroom and closed it with a gentle click.
Bo Yueming’s eyes narrowed slightly. He picked up the milk he disliked drinking so that it wouldn’t be wasted, whispering faintly, “Why doesn’t this kitten even say good night?”
. . . . . . .
The night grew darker.
Because he was temporarily staying at the Bo residence, Pei Yi, who recognized both the bed and the quilt, was embarrassed to ask for too much. Thus, he had no choice but to huddle under the quilt and close his eyes to rest.
While half asleep and half awake, many images flashed through his mind:
When he was bullied in the orphanage as a child. After he was adopted, and was treated by his two fathers as their own son. There was also the incident when he met Bo Yueming half a year ago.
But what followed was more uneasiness and panic.
Pei Yi dreamed that his two fathers never returned. He waited and waited at the Bo residence, but they never came back. Then Bo Yueming also chose to study abroad, dan he was kicked out by the Bo family and became an unwanted child again.
“…….”
Pei Yi poked his little head out of the bed and took a few quiet breaths. He looked at the completely unfamiliar layout of the door and room, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of grievance and sadness.
The electronic watch showed that it was just past midnight.
Pei Yi couldn’t explain how he felt, but he instinctively wanted to find the most familiar and closest person in his family.
He got out of bed with bare feet, opened the door, and ran to the master bedroom opposite. He hesitated for a long while before knocking twice, not daring to make a loud noise. “Er-ge, are you asleep?”
There was no response.
Pei Yi pursed his lips in disappointment, then ran to the small sofa and sat there in silence.
In less than half a minute, the closed master bedroom door suddenly opened from the inside. Having heard the slight movement, Bo Yueming went out to take a look—
Only then did he realize that Pei Yi was currently curled up on the sofa. His bare ankles were white and pink. In the middle of winter, he felt cold just looking at them.
Bo Yueming frowned and went over. “Pei Yi, what are you doing here at night?”
Pei Yi sucked in a breath and remained silent.
The tip of his nose was red, and there was no telling if it was from the cold or if he had cried.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Bo Yueming could only guess, “Did you have a nightmare? Or are you afraid and unable to sleep alone?”
Pei Yi saw him approaching and asked cautiously, “Er-ge, can I sleep with you tonight?”
Bo Yueming was surprised.
He wasn’t used to sleeping with him, but still chose to agree at this moment. Following Zong Baiyan’s method, he carried Pei Yi in front of him. “Where are your slippers?”
Pei Yi was particularly familiar with this carrying posture, and leaned in aggrievedly. “Er-ge, will Father Yan and Father Rong decide they don’t want me?”
“They won’t.”
Bo Yueming asked right after, “Why do you still think so?”
Even an outsider could see that Zong Baiyan and Xu Rong had raised Pei Yi as their own son and gave him the best of everything.
Pei Yi also felt that he shouldn’t be like this, and hummed softly.
The two returned to the master bedroom.
Bo Yueming covered Pei Yi with the quilt, paying special attention to his ankles, which had been cold up until now. “Don’t catch a cold, otherwise Uncle Yan and the others will be worried.”
Pei Yi unconsciously moved closer to Bo Yueming and said, “Er-ge.”
“En?”
“You really want to go abroad?”
“……”
“If you go abroad, there will be no one to help me with my homework or play with me.” The more Pei Yi thought about it, the sadder he felt. “I don’t want you to go abroad. The Imperial Capital University is also very good. You can pass the exam.”
Bo Yueming didn’t expect Pei Yi to still be thinking about this matter at night. “Is this why you were unhappy just now?”
Pei Yi said honestly, “En, I don’t want to be separated from Father Rong, and I don’t want you to leave. I’m still too young to go abroad, so why don’t you wait for me to grow up a little bit, okay?”
Bo Yueming lowered his head and saw the furrowed brow of the person next to him, and for a moment, couldn’t tell whether he was amused or helpless. He pinched the back of Pei Yi’s neck twice. “You’re not sleeping so late at night. Why are you thinking so much?”
“When did I say I would definitely go abroad?”
Bo Yueming had not made a complete decision. It was only that Old Mrs. Bo had sent someone to give him this information, so he took a brief look at it.
Pei Yi shrank his neck and asked, “Then can you not go?”
Bo Yueming thought about it for a moment, and then changed his method of motivation. “If I postpone it for a year or two, how about you pass the exam and enroll early? Then I can stay in China for university in the meantime.”
The two were three years apart, and exactly three grades apart.
When it came to study abroad, it was not too early to go a year early, and not too late to go a year late.
Pei Yi became more spirited. “Really? I can do it!”
Bo Yueming closed the quilt again. “Don’t talk nonsense, wait until you pass the exam.”
Although the affiliated middle school and high school would be regarded as direct admission schools, the annual early recruitment was open to the entire Imperial Capital, and the level of difficulty was not low.
Pei Yi had completely changed from his former sad and downcast self. “I’ll definitely be able to do it.”
Bo Yueming gave a smile and didn’t continue the topic. “Pei Yi, if you don’t finish drinking your milk and won’t sleep at night, do you really want to become a dwarf?”
Pei Yi retorted, “I’ve started to get taller.”
Bo Yueming raised his eyebrows. “Are you going to sleep?”
“…..I’ll sleep.”
Pei Yi closed his eyes obediently, and his mood was much better than when he had been alone before. “Er-ge, good night. Sweet dreams.”
Bo Yueming closed his eyes to sleep, smiling and relaxed. “En, sweet dreams.”
