After Escaping Chapter 18
by17. Pei family
There was silence in the room, and the aging faucet was ticking and dripping water.
Pei Shuyun leaned in Gu Yu’s arms, counting his gradually calming breathing.The arms around his waist had relaxed, and Pei Shuyun slowly broke away from the man’s arms.
He knew that Gu Yu might not wake up so easily tonight.
His waist was still a little sore after being held for so long. Pei Shuyun stood at the door and took some time to relax. He took out his packed luggage from the cabinet and left the rental house without looking back.
The moonlight was cold outside the building, and a middle-aged man got out of the car that had been parked for a long time. He bowed to Pei Shuyun: “Young Master, I asked me to pick you up.”
Sitting in the car, Pei Shuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the scenery in the old neighborhood slowly fade away.
Pei Shuyun started planning this escape when he was sick last time.Fortunately, with Wen Zhao’s help, the plan went more smoothly.
These days of obedience allowed Gu Yu to drink the glass of red wine with sleeping pills without any precautions, and also gave him the opportunity to escape from this dilapidated rental house with imperfect security facilities..
Knowing that he has no power, even if he manages to escape, he will inevitably be captured again.Then, Pei Shuyun thought of the Pei family.
Sure enough, after Wen Zhao reported the news for him, his father quickly sent a car to pick him up.
Although the power of the Pei family is not as powerful as that of Gu Yu, they are still prestigious in the East District. Although Pei’s father has a cold nature, he will not allow his illegitimate son to be someone else’s lover. Such a stain is a discredit to the Pei family.
Watching the car gradually leaving the city, Pei Shuyun was a little confused: “Uncle Wei, where are we going?”
“My master told you to take shelter in an apartment on the outskirts of the city first, and then I will send you to another place after the storm has passed.”
Pei Shuyun nodded in agreement.
Pei’s house was built in the middle of a mountain with a hidden terrain. It was originally the place where Pei’s father raised his lover. Later, after Mrs. Pei discovered it, it had been abandoned for many years.
Uncle Wei dropped Pei Shuyun off and told him to clean up on his own, then drove away.
The house had not been cleaned for a long time and was full of cobwebs and dust.By the time Pei Shuyun finished sorting things out, the day after tomorrow would be bright.I wonder if Gu Yu will be furious when he wakes up and finds that he is missing.
Pei Shuyun smiled bitterly and leaned tiredly on the sofa that had just been cleared away. A busy night made him fall asleep quickly.
When he woke up again, Pei Shuyun discovered something terrible.He had a night out with Gu Yu last night and hadn’t eaten anything until now. After being hungry for a day, his stomach was already feeling uncomfortable.
Looking at the wilderness outside the house, Pei Shuyun thought over and over again and finally dialed Uncle Wei’s number.
An hour later, the car stopped at the door of the apartment again, and the driver took down a box of things.
“Young master, here are the clothes and food for these days. We are looking for you outside, and the wind is very tight. You can rest here for a few days, and I will pick you up to see the master in a few days.”
The years in the mountains passed by peacefully. Pei Shuyun would sleep unsteadily a few days ago. In his nightmares, he would always see Gu Yu pinching his neck with blood-red eyes, and he would wake up again gasping for breath.
After this sense of unreality gradually subsided, Pei Shuyun knew that he had finally gotten rid of Gu Yu’s entanglement, and the joy brought by freedom also enriched him.
A few days later, a car horn rang outside the apartment, and Pei Shuyun realized that less than half a month had passed.
Uncle Wei took the neat suit and asked him to tidy it up, then drove him to Pei’s house.
“The master held a family banquet today, is the young master ready?”
Pei Shuyun lowered his head and said “hmm”. He hadn’t seen his father for several years since moving out, and he was still a little uneasy. He was just thinking, but he didn’t notice that Uncle Wei looked unnatural next to him.
My father is still the man with a cold face, unsmiling, and even if he has a smile, he will never show it to him, whether it is a few years ago or now.
Seeing him arrive, she just nodded to him with a straight face and got back into the arrangements for the family banquet.
The main hall of the Pei family was ornately decorated. It was already dark now, and the bright lights in the magnificent hall made Pei Shuyun feel dizzy.
My father was smiling attentively at a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes sitting in the main seat.Pei Shuyun didn’t know why a strange man appeared at the family banquet, but due to his identity, he just sat silently aside to reduce his sense of presence.
The man’s face was shiny, his limbs were thin but his belly was fat. He seemed to be struggling while sitting in the seat and talking.
After a few glasses of wine, the man touched the short, oil-soaked stubble on his chin and cast his gaze to the seat next to him.
“Why haven’t I seen this child before?”
“Oh, this is the youngest son. He used to live alone outside and rarely came back. Don’t blame Mr. Wen for not knowing etiquette.”
His father smiled and gestured to Pei Shuyun: “Shuyun, this is Master Wen. Why don’t you come and propose a toast?”
Pei Shuyun stood up, and when he was toasting, he didn’t know whether it was an illusion, but Master Wen’s sweaty and sticky hands slid across the back of his hands, leaving sticky sweat stains.
Pei Shuyun suddenly retracted his hand and accidentally spilled the wine in the glass on his suit.
Soon he was sternly reprimanded by his father: “You are so unruly, why can’t you even hold a drink?”
“Shu Yun, go change your clothes.” Mrs. Pei, who had been watching coldly for a long time, finally spoke.
Pei Shuyun bowed and walked out of the hall. Behind him, his father kept apologizing to Master Wen.Pei Shuyun shuddered uncomfortably and walked up the stairs quickly as he felt a searching gaze on him.
He poured a cup of cold tea and drank it to barely relieve his inner discomfort. As expected, this place still made him feel depressed as always.
Pei Shuyun was thinking as he picked up the clothes in the room.
After changing into my underwear, I realized there was no coat in the house.Pei Shuyun patted the door softly: “Is there anyone there? Can you give me a coat?”
There was silence outside the house, no one answered.Pei Shuyun pulled the wrench strangely, only to find that the door was locked.
With a bad premonition rising in his heart, Pei Shuyun pulled the door lock hard, but the door still didn’t move.
“Is anyone there? Open the door quickly!”
Now, Pei Shuyun finally understood his father’s intention. After all, he underestimated the shamelessness of the Pei family. Out of anger, he banged the door several times and decided to escape through the window first.
Unexpectedly, after several violent movements, a surge of desire began to rise in his lower abdomen. It was so steaming that Pei Shuyun couldn’t stand and squatted down with a red face.
