Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 56 Don’t leave

Jiang Xihe recalled his embarrassment when he first entered the morgue, and joked with a smile, "Can you imagine it? I vomited when I first saw the corpse."

Pei Zhizhao was slightly startled, and his smile deepened. He was not surprised, "It seems disrespectful to the deceased to talk too much, but after seeing the corpse, not many people can sleep peacefully."

Pei Zhizhao said, picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass for Jiang Xihe, "Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Xihe covered the wine cup with his small hand and shook his head, "At first I thought I couldn't bear it, but then I thought I had to do this and do this well. The deceased was thrown into the river. There must have been a lot of injustice. Since I have I must help her when I have the opportunity. If you think about it this way, it will become easy later. What about now?" Jiang Xihe looked at the meat caught in the chopsticks, and his smile became brighter, "It's time to eat, and it's time to drink."

Pei Zhizhao tried to persuade him to drink to no avail, so he raised his head and drank the cup of wine. Jiang Xihe smiled, "Why did you drink all by yourself? Master Pei, tell me, you have been on the battlefield, are you afraid of killing an enemy for the first time?"

Pei Zhizhao has not recalled the past for a long time. Is he afraid? He was afraid that he would even occasionally see the scene of fighting and iron horses back then in his dreams.

Jiang Xihe noticed that Pei Zhizhao's expression moved slightly, and she thought in her heart. She had known that Pei Zhizhao was not sleeping well. Could it be because he had been on the battlefield?

Jiang Xihe was embarrassed, "Sir, I talked too much."

Pei Zhizhao said indifferently, "Actually, you are right. When I was 19 years old, I went to war. At that time, I only wanted to regain the northwest and restore peace to the border. In the first battle, I rushed to the front and fought bravely, but when the first drop of enemy blood spattered on When I was with him, I actually felt a little confused, whose relative and flesh and blood is he?"

A wisp of breeze blew in from the window, and the heat brought by the pot caused the temperature in the room to soar. Jiang Xihe's rosy face felt a bit of coolness in the breeze.

She suddenly sympathized with Pei Zhizhao. He had been in the northwest for five years, and in exchange for his reputation as a general, he also paid a physical price.

Pei Zhizhao received the pity in Jiang Xihe's eyes, but smiled with relief, "There is no use pitying others. It's life and death on the battlefield. If I die on the battlefield, who can remember me?"

Jiang Xihe felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Pei Zhizhao said these words calmly, but there was a lingering desolation in his tone. Jiang Xihe asked, "Master Pei, where is your family?"

Jiang Xihe once inquired about Pei Zhizhao privately, but she only knew that he was never married. As for his family... she really didn't know much about him.

Pei Zhizhao smiled and said, "I should have told you these words earlier. My parents passed away before I went to the northwest. It was also like this that I didn't have to worry about anything. I worked hard on the battlefield to earn the title of General Pingxi. "

Jiang Xihe knew that everything might not be as simple as Pei Zhizhao said, and he admired and sympathized in his heart.

That lonely mood made the two people look at each other, with a trace of sympathy in their eyes.

"But now that I have you, does it count?" Pei Zhizhao's words immediately created a deep ripple in the little girl's heart.

Jiang Xihe touched his hot cheeks with his hands, picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in Pei Zhizhao's bowl, "Sir, eat more vegetables."

The little girl was so thin-skinned that she pretended to ignore his words. Pei Zhizhao's smile deepened and he drank another glass of sake.

"Master Pei, apart from your parents, do you have no brothers or sisters?"

Jiang Xihe was holding meat and dipping it in dry ingredients. He looked up and saw that Pei Zhizhao, who had been smiling just now, had wetness in his eyes and a trace of sadness. Jiang Xihe regretted that he had said the wrong thing again. Just when he was about to apologize, Pei Zhizhao whispered, "I once had a sister, but she passed away many years ago. Now, I am the only one left in this world."

Jiang Xihe didn't know what to say. She knew the pain of losing a loved one. Instead, Pei Zhizhao comforted her, "I should have told you earlier, but the Ping An County Magistrate is not easy to do. One thing comes after another. You won't be angry with me." Are you angry?"

how come? Jiang Xihe was grateful to Pei Zhizhao for his honesty. As he said, the two of them only have each other in this world. A few words made two people change their mood when facing each other. Nothing makes people feel warmer than relying on each other.

Jiang Xihe found that after this meal, many things between her and Pei Zhizhao became different. As for what that feeling was, she couldn't explain clearly.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Xihe put down the bowl and chopsticks, and Pei Zhizhao went to the window and made a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.

Jiang Xihe knew that Pei Zhizhao drank a lot, so he stared at him with concern, "Sir, how do you drink?"

Pei Zhizhao smiled slightly, "At least I can't do anything that disgusts you."

Jiang Xihe's face turned red again. The closer he got, the less serious Mr. Pei became. He was about to leave. Pei Zhizhao suddenly put his arms around her shoulders and turned her around to face him.

"Don't go, let me lean on you for a while." He lowered his head, his warm breath was next to her ears, and Jiang Xihe felt like she was going to burn.

"The more this happens, the less I can bully you, Xiaohe, I am eight years older than you, and I have a lot of things on my mind. But don't worry, I will definitely let you marry me gracefully, and I will not embarrass you. What's more, I won’t embarrass you, now...I can bear it.”

What are these words? Jiang Xihe felt like he was burning.

She had been worried that it would be difficult for her to get along with Pei Zhizhao like this. She wanted to get close to him, but she was afraid that a different kind of spark would spark between them.

She likes to see Pei Zhizhao. If he pushes forward this relationship forcefully, she actually can't resist it. But now Pei Zhizhao has given her reassurance that he respects her and takes her to heart. These details make Jiang Xihe feel warmer.

"I believe you, sir." Jiang Xihe no longer hid. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and touched the silky material of Pei Zhizhao's robe with her fingertips. The soft feel was the same as her mood. She closed her eyes and listened to the words in Pei Zhizhao's chest. That heart was beating firmly.

Before falling asleep, Jiang Xihe's eyes felt like watching a play. Everything that happened during this period came back to her mind. When they first met, she felt that Pei Zhizhao was not close to him. Through Xiao Mili's case, she knew that Pei Zhizhao was not as cold as he seemed.

When did she feel that Pei Zhizhao was different from others?

He gave her the opportunity to make money, believed in her, and respected her. Maybe at this time, the seeds of her liking for him were planted in her heart.

Later, she received the bad news that her brother had an accident. During those days when life was worse than death, it was he who encouraged her and believed in her. In the end, she got over her heartache and faced life head-on.

Later, he pretended to tease her that she was his wife. His trust and the shockingly explicit letter made her fall completely. They came out of Qingfeng Village and rode a horse together. He hugged her and just Like just now...

Jiang Xihe turned over and felt that his whole body was on fire.

But she was afraid at that time. She was afraid that she and Pei Zhizhao had different identities and would be criticized. Didn't she care? She doesn't care, because she is afraid of tarnishing Pei Zhizhao's reputation. She is afraid that the gap between the two people is too big and they will not be able to start and end well.

What about later?

They came to Tongshan Mansion together, and no matter what she did, he silently supported her. Even for such a low-level profession as wuzhuo, he did not say a word and introduced Sun Chang wuzhuo to her without hesitation and asked her to learn from him.

He also said that he would let her marry in style. These promises made Jiang Xihe more determined to recognize this relationship.

What about the future?

In the darkness, Jiang Xihe smiled with a smile on her lips. Once she identified someone, she would go on without hesitation and no longer worry about gains and losses.
