Pei Zhi took advantage of the moonlight and looked at the little girl lying on the bed sideways.
The little girl thought she was covering up well, so he came closer and said, "Jiang Li, I know you are not asleep."
The little girl's body trembled obviously, but she didn't make a sound.
Jiang Li felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She treated her third brother so carefully, but at such a critical moment of life and death, her third brother didn't seem to care about her at all, which overlapped with the image of the indifferent and powerful minister in her memory.
If only the third brother had hesitated for a moment, he would not feel so uncomfortable now.
Pei Zhi looked at the little girl. He had done many excessive things to her before, but the little girl would still come to him with a smile on her face the next day.
He knew that this time he really hurt the little girl's heart.
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't respond, Pei Zhi moved closer and wanted to take the quilt off her body.
In some cases, it is better to explain.
"Jiang Li, I know what happened before, and you had a problem with me."
He didn't care about the little girl's performance, and just continued: "Third brother, I promise you that something like this won't happen next time, okay."
This was the first time that he regarded himself as his third brother in front of a little girl. In a way, he already regarded Jiang Li as his younger sister.
The person covered in the quilt let out a low sob after hearing this.
She also didn't expect that the third brother would come to her to apologize and ask for peace.
Pei Zhi heard her sobbing and lifted the quilt a little further. Through the hazy moonlight, he saw the little girl's already red and swollen eyes, a pair of almond-shaped eyes filled with tears.
Pei Zhi felt his heart tremble, and subconsciously asked someone to pick him up and hold him in his arms.
This was the first time Jiang Li had such close contact with him.
"Third brother, I was really scared at the time."
When Jiang Li was hugged by him like this, she felt that her last psychological defense was broken. She originally wanted to hold back from crying, but Pei Zhi had no obligation to save her.
She was too self-righteous and felt that her image in Pei Zhi's mind had changed after the two of them got along during this time.
It’s because I had too many expectations, so I felt so disappointed later on.
When Pei Zhi heard his cry, he felt his heart trembling, "Ah Li, it's my fault, please stop crying."
The little girl usually acted coquettishly towards him, but he couldn't refuse her. Now she was crying in her arms, and the reason for this was precisely because of what she had done.
This is the first time in his life that he has been submissive to someone.
"Third brother, what I'm sad about is that not only did third brother not choose me, he also abandoned me without any hesitation."
Pei Zhi thought of what happened that day. There were some things that were difficult for him to explain.
Jiang Li cried and said, "Third brother, I often have a dream recently, and it's the same situation in the dream. Third brother didn't choose me either."
In the last life, I wanted to rely on Pei Zhi's friendship with him when he temporarily stayed at his home to ask him to save his second brother. Pei Zhi also rejected his request mercilessly just like that day.
In my recent dreams, I always dreamed of these two scenarios together, and I just felt an uncomfortable tightness in my heart.
Jiang Li always felt that there was a pair of invisible hands that pushed everything back to its original position. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she could not change anything.
My attempts to please Third Brother during this period of time didn't seem to have any real effect.
In the face of real danger, the third brother will still give up on himself without hesitation.
Pei Zhi pursed his lips when he saw the little girl in his arms crying really sadly.
"What exactly was going on in your dream?"
I had heard Jiang Li talk about it vaguely once before when she was drunk, and now that she was talking about it again, it seemed that this dream had indeed had a profound impact on her.
As a result, now that I have returned to reality, the sadness in the dream has not diminished.
"Third brother, I lived a very miserable life in my dream."
Jiang Li seemed to be unable to bear her grievances any longer and wanted to pour out the emotions in her heart.
"No one loves me, including my mother who is good to me now, but she will dislike me later, and my brothers."
"No, you can't say that. At least in the dream, my grandmother really loves me, but I'm just too stupid. I can't understand who is really good to me."
The more Jiang Li talked, the more sad she became.
Pei Zhi looked gloomy and looked at the sad little girl crying in his arms.
"What kind of person am I in your dream?"
"Third brother will become a very powerful person in the future."
Pei Zhi said: "So is this why you please me?"
Jiang Li was a little confused at this time: "Yes, so does the third brother dislike me?"
The cold and secret fragrance floated on the young man's body, and he gently touched the little girl's hair: "Go on and please me."
If she could really become the person she said in her dream in the future, she would just be a little girl, just protect her.
The Jiang family couldn't protect her, but he could.
Jiang Li raised her head in disbelief when she heard this: "Third brother, what does this mean?"
"You said that in your dream, no one loved you."
"I'm here to love you." Pei Zhi wiped away her tears with one hand. Before, it was just a fun thing to keep by his side.
But he doesn't know since when, the little girl's smile has entered his heart.
From now on, he will protect the Jiang family’s Ali.
Jiang Li still didn't react.
The third brother promised himself that he would protect himself.
She even forgot to cry, and just looked at Pei Zhi blankly: "Third brother, did I hear you correctly?"
When Pei Zhi saw the little girl's stunned look, he felt a little sad and a little funny at the same time: "You heard me right, the third brother will protect you from now on."
He rarely said such words to others, but if he did say it, he would definitely devote his life to protecting someone.
Pei Zhi chuckled: "Are you still satisfied with my promise to you?"
If he couldn't protect a little girl, let alone do other things.
Jiang Li only felt that she had gotten a huge advantage. She had thought about something that she had been thinking about for so long, and she thought there would still be trouble, but she didn't expect that Pei Zhi would agree to her so easily after she made such a fuss.
Pei Zhiwo just thought the little girl's expression was very funny, and held her chin with one hand: "What, are you stupid?"
Jiang Li really couldn't care less, so she threw herself into Pei Zhi's arms and said in a low voice, "Third brother is so kind."
"Are you still angry with me?"
Jiang Li hugged his waist tightly with both hands: "I'm not angry anymore."
Although she knew that this behavior was unreasonable, she couldn't help it at the moment.
In Jiang Li's heart, at least at this moment, Pei Zhi seemed to be the one she could really get close to.
Pei Zhi finally regarded himself as someone close to her.
very nice.
