Chapter 323 You are still you
Ning Zhizhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she pressed the back of one hand to her cheek, trying to calm herself down with the slightly cooler temperature and think calmly.

No matter who Pei Chonghuan is, she must investigate clearly.

Ning Zhizhi had something on her mind, so she didn't look as lively and happy as usual.

Standing by Pei Mingrui's side, Pei Chonghuan listened to his colleagues who had contacts in his career praise him one after another, but his heart didn't fluctuate much.

His expression was indifferent, showing no emotion, but those deep eyes revealed his inner emotions.

He is irritable.

It is rare for Pei Chonghuan to feel upset. After all, he never does things based on his feelings. When he does something, he will consider all the consequences, and only after he is sure that it is correct will he let it go.

He had never considered such a situation as just revealing his feelings with Ning Zhizhi.

If there is a reason, it is that he still thinks that he is a different kind in his heart.

He was too impulsive today.

Pei Chonghuan frowned slightly, and there was an imperceptible sense of loneliness in his eyes, which separated him from this lively place.

But this negative emotion only existed in his heart for less than a few seconds before disappearing.

"Brother, when are you cutting the cake?"

Ning Zhizhi, who appeared beside him at some point, hugged his arm affectionately, bent slightly to lean against him, with a smile in her standard almond eyes, and a hint of expectation.

"Zhizhi?" Pei Chonghuan looked down at her in astonishment, this vivid expression caused Pei Mingrui to burst into laughter.

His son is precocious, whether at home or outside, he always has a straight face, just like a little adult. He and Liu Qinghe have been troubled by this for a while, worrying that being too precocious is not good for his mental health.

But looking at it now, it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, when he got along with this little girl from the Ning family, he was no different from a little boy of the same age.

"Uncle, can you lend me Brother Ah Huan for a little while? Just for a little while."

Ning Zhizhi looked up at Pei Mingrui, fearing that he would disagree, she raised her hands together and looked at him with expectant eyes.

Pei Mingrui was amused by her cute appearance, didn't say much, and waved her to take Pei Chonghuan away.

Pulling Pei Chonghuan through the crowd in the hall, Ning Zhizhi stared at Pei Chonghuan's surprised eyes and asked calmly.

"Brother, when will you cut the cake? Zhizhi wants to eat the biggest piece."

She didn't mention that incident, and she acted the same as usual, as if that incident had never happened, but the more she behaved like this, the more puzzled Pei Chonghuan became.

Did she really take that sentence as a joke?

He was confused, and no one around noticed them, so he simply asked directly.

"Zhizhi, what I just said... don't you care?"

Ning Zhizhi, who was walking forward while holding his hand, stopped suddenly. She put down the skirt that she was holding in her hand, then looked at Pei Chonghuan with a smile and spoke.

"Didn't you tell me to take that sentence as a joke?"

She said this with a smile, so Pei Chonghuan couldn't tell whether she was joking or really thought so.

Pursing his lips, Pei Chonghuan's baby-fat face showed a hint of disappointment.

"Well, just take it as a joke."

An indescribable loss spread in Pei Chonghuan's heart.

He thought, this is probably the so-called feeling of being treated as a joke by others, right?
Maybe he shouldn't have said that to Ning Zhizhi in the first place.

"Just kidding, little brother, look at me."

Seeing the obvious change of expression on Pei Chonghuan's face, Ning Zhizhi sighed helplessly, then stood on tiptoe, and stroked his side face with one hand.

Pei Chonghuan raised his head in response, just in time to meet Ning Zhizhi's eyes.The bright light in those eyes overshadowed everything around them.

He was absent-minded for a moment, and suddenly looked away in a panic.

"I don't care why you say that, but I just need to know that you are my little brother, and I don't care about anything else."

As she spoke, she tilted her head to look at Pei Chonghuan, and asked pretendingly puzzled.

"Aren't you my little brother just because you don't belong here? Don't you like Zhizhi?"

Pei Chonghuan was stunned for a moment because of her words, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at her, just in time to bump into those eyes full of tiny stars.

At that moment, Pei Chonghuan seemed to hear his heart beating violently on the left side of his chest.

"...Thank you, Zhizhi."

……

The second day of Pei Chonghuan's birthday party.

It wasn't until near noon that Ning Zhizhi came down from the second floor in a cute pajamas.

A few days ago, for Pei Chonghuan's birthday gift, she accompanied Guo Menghua to toss the starry sky projector every day. She was exhausted physically and mentally. After finally having a day to rest, she indulged herself once and slept until noon.

When she went downstairs, besides the servants, only Ning An was there in the Ning family.

She stood at the stairs, looking at Ning An who was sitting on the sofa and talking to himself, with a puzzled look on her face.

What is her fourth brother doing?Is it because of schizophrenia, that's why I talk to myself?

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Zhizhi shuddered.She thought for a while, then lightened her steps, and quietly walked behind Ning An, wanting to hear what he was talking about.

"Cough, Zhizhi, last time you said you wanted to see the sea, when do you plan to go? Can you tell fourth brother?"

Ning An leaned back against the sofa, trying to adjust his expression and tone, simulating a conversation with Ning Zhizhi later.

But as soon as he finished saying this, he felt a little awkward again, so he shivered while holding his arm, and muttered in a low voice.

"What is this? When did I speak in such a gentle voice? It's so disgusting that my goosebumps are almost shaking."

Ning Zhizhi, who was still wondering why Ning An said that sentence just now, burst out laughing when she heard this sentence.

She took back her guess just now, that her fourth brother should not be schizophrenic, but simply silly.

"Who?!"

Ning An never expected that there would be someone eavesdropping behind him!

He turned his head abruptly, and looked behind him vigilantly. After seeing clearly that the person was Ning Zhizhi, the anger on his face turned into embarrassment again.

"Cough, Zhizhi, why is it you..."

He raised his hand and scratched his cheek, trying to hide his embarrassment, but after he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

Why did he ask this?What if Ning Zhizhi followed his words and asked questions?Then how should he explain his behavior to her just now?
So before Ning Zhizhi could speak, Ning An hurriedly changed the subject.

"Hey Zhizhi, why did you sleep until now? If mom said you were still sleeping, I thought you were out. Are you hungry? I'll ask the servant to prepare meals for you."
