    Chapter 69 Chapter 69: Adult Xiao Pei

    A birthday party was being held in the Pei family garden. Xiao Pei said hello to the guests who came to congratulate him and then slipped away quietly.

    He didn’t run too far, returned to his bedroom, stood in a hidden corner of the balcony, and called Qin Zhou.

    Both calls failed, and Xiao Pei was a little unhappy. On such an important day, Qin Zhou was not around, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

    But being unable to get through on the phone also made him a little uncomfortable. Why did he go on a business trip when he knew his birthday was coming soon? Uncle Qin said he could let someone else go.

    It’s not a very important job. Xiao Pei can’t understand why Qin Zhou chose it like this. Isn’t he important in Qin Zhou’s heart?

    “Bad Qin Zhou, I will never pay attention to you again.”

    Xiao Pei angrily threw his cell phone in the bedroom and went down to entertain his guests seriously.

    Invited to the birthday party, in addition to people he knew from his parents’ business, there were also his own classmates and friends. He was worried that the young people would not be able to let go, so he specially opened a small hall.

    As today’s birthday boy, Xiao Pei received blessings and smiles wherever he went. Soon he forgot about Qin Zhou and started playing games with everyone.

    Song Wen, who usually had a hard time dealing with him, was particularly winking today. He was given props to eat first, and he didn’t even get angry when he ordered him around in the game kitchen. When Xiao Pei was playing games, he couldn’t help but look at him in surprise several times.

    Song Wen curled his lips and smiled evilly, “Why, are you fascinated by me?”

    Xiao Pei felt a chill, shaking with goosebumps all over his body, and said disgustedly, “Oh, it’s so greasy. You are not allowed to eat fried chicken, fried ribs, fried crispy fish and other fried foods for lunch!”

    Upon seeing this, Wen Xiuyun pulled Song Wen aside and sat next to Xiao Pei. “Ignore him, I’ll play with you.”

    “Do you know how to play games?” It’s not that Xiao Pei looks down on people, but Wen Xiuyun usually has an unworldly look. He writes calligraphy and draws Chinese paintings, but playing games… He admits that he is a bit stereotyped.

    Wen Xiuyun smiled confidently, “I know how to do it. I usually play games to relieve stress.”

    In fact, I knew that Xiao Pei loved to play games, and I always found companions in the circle for stimulation. I worked hard at home to practice my skills, and finally, three months later, I was able to play with Xiao Pei.

    Qi Yu sneered at the jealousy among the children. He stood behind Xiao Pei with his arms folded and watched him shoot. After missing two out of three times, Qi Yu said: “…”

    Qi Yu couldn’t stand it any longer. Before Xiao Pei was about to become a master of human body contouring again, he quickly reached out and took over Xiao Pei’s character. While operating, he didn’t forget to teach Xiao Pei, “You need to lift it up a little here to get a headshot.”

    Little Pei was half-encircled in his arms, and his fingers were led to slide on the screen. He raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yu, “Brother Yu, aren’t you tired of bending over like this?”

    Xiao Pei patted the seat next to him and said, “Sit here. Just verbal guidance.”

    Wen Xiuyun was unhappy since Qi Yu took over Xiao Pei’s role just now. When he heard Xiao Pei ask him to sit down, he snorted coldly, “It’s just that there is no gaming experience at all.”

    Qi Yu glanced at Wen Xiuyun coldly, “That’s better than you not being able to escape the poisonous circle.”

    The atmosphere was a bit cold. Song Wen took a look at Xiao Pei’s expression and said proactively, “Let’s play a four-player team. It’s more fun this way.”

    Xiao Pei was noncommittal, and the others quickly created a new room and pulled him in.

    The first two were fine, and I was able to win the chicken steadily, but then I used all my tricks.

    There were fights for seats in the car, fights for equipment, and fights for the role of protecting Xiao Pei. There were also some dirty tricks behind the scenes, including refusing to save people even if they were dead, and touching corpses to thank teammates for their gifts. In short, the scene turned into a mess.

    Xiao Pei is tired from having hundreds of millions of snacks.

    “No more fun, it’s getting late, let’s go cut the cake.”

    Naturally, they all listened to him. The three people with red eyes put down their mobile phones and became polite again.

    Meng Zihua was eating melon on the side, smiling so hard that his face froze.

    “Xiao Pei,” Meng Zihua called Xiao Pei over and asked with a teasing look, “Where is Qin Zhou, why don’t you see him?”

    Meng Zihua knew how closely Qin Zhou watched people. He might not stop him from playing games, but he would definitely not watch several people vying for Xiao Pei’s attention.

    Xiao Pei pouted, “I didn’t invite him.”

    “Hey, what’s wrong? Did I offend you?” Meng Zihua was really curious. She raised her ears and waited for Xiao Pei to complain to her.

    But Xiao Pei didn’t answer the question at all, and left without inviting anyone, leaving a room full of people staring at each other.

    Song Wen took the lead to throw the blame away, “It has nothing to do with me. It must be because you guys are too noisy and Xiao Pei is annoyed.”

    “You are the most noisy person here, yet you have the nerve to criticize others.” Wen Xiuyun said sarcastically.

    Qi Yu felt annoyed when he heard this, “Your eldest brother, let alone your second brother, just now Xiao Pei said he wanted to cut the cake. Did he go to the garden?”

    When the others heard this, they followed the three of them to the garden.

    Seeing Xiao Pei from a distance, the three of them were about to be happy when they saw someone coming in with a gift box at the door. That figure was not Qin Zhou.

    Song Wen sneered, “Unlucky.”

    Wen Xiuyun continued, “If you don’t come early, you won’t come late, but you’re here at this time.”

    Even Qi Yu thought Qin Zhou was an eyesore, but seeing him didn’t stop everyone from stepping forward.

    When everyone saw Qin Zhou, Xiao Pei’s attention was still on the cake tower. Qin Zhou called him, so Xiao Pei turned around. When he saw it was Qin Zhou, Xiao Pei snorted and turned his head, pretending that he didn’t see or hear.

    Qin Zhou understood the meaning of Xiao Pei’s action very well, “I’m not easy to coax when I’m angry, but if you really don’t coax you, you’ll be dead.” Qin Zhou felt that he was in the wrong and simply gave away the birthday gift he had prepared.

    “My dear, let’s take a look at the birthday gift first.”

    “Although I was wrong, the gift was right.”

    Xiao Pei thought it was right, the gift was innocent. He took the gift box and opened it immediately on the table.

    The packaging was a bit cruder than what Qin Zhou had given him before, but Xiao Pei didn’t care. He opened the box and found a stack of paper documents. He read the big words several times, “You’re giving me an island?”

    “Well, didn’t you say you wanted a place to be in a daze quietly without being disturbed?”

    This requirement is a bit high. Qin Zhou finally won it after two years of hard work and a little savings. He spent some time negotiating the contract and almost couldn’t make it back.

    “This, I can’t accept this, it’s too expensive.”

    Xiao Pei thought this sincerely. It was a small island, not a villa. Even if Qin Zhou dared to give away a car, he would not dare to accept it.

    “Just take it as a gift, don’t worry.” Qin Zhou had been busy outside for half a month, and now he felt tired after seeing people and giving gifts. He took two steps forward and hugged Xiao Pei, burying his face in his neck and sighing, “Why are you so polite to my brother?”

    Xiao Pei slanders that he doesn’t want his brother.

    “You go to my room and rest.” Xiao Pei said to Qin Zhou. He still had to blow out the candles, make wishes and cut the cake. “When I’m done here, I’ll go see you.”

    “No, it’s not that tiring.”

    Xiao Pei stared at the black and blue under his eyes, knowing that Qin Zhou was being harsh, he resisted the hand that wanted to touch, and turned to find the host.

    At Xiao Pei’s signal, the host completed all the procedures quickly and politely. After Xiao Pei distributed the cakes, he took Qin Zhou and fled again.

    In the bedroom, Xiao Pei pushed him to the bed, but Qin Zhou was unwilling to lie down directly, “I’ll take a shower.”

    Coming back after a long journey, although he had done some simple cleaning on the way, Qin Zhou thought it would be better to take a shower when he had to lie on Xiao Pei’s bed.

    “You still have energy to worry about other things.” Xiao Pei didn’t want to worry about him anymore, “Go if you want to and come back soon.”

    Not sure if it was an illusion, but Qin Zhou felt that Xiao Pei looked like a chili pepper today, breathing fire as he talked to him.

    “My dear, are you still angry with me?”

    “No, you are a busy person, how can I be angry with you.”

    Qin Zhou wanted to say this just because he was angry, but he didn’t dare.

    He didn’t speak, and Xiao Pei became even more angry. He was angry that Qin Zhou didn’t understand him, “Qin Zhou, do you think I will be happy if you give him an expensive gift?”

    “I’m not short of money or a cruise ship. I just want you to be by my side at this important moment in my life.”

    “And you promised me a long time ago that you would stay with me, but you almost made a mistake.”

    “I’m angry about this.”

    “I’m sorry, dear, I promise there won’t be a next time, okay? You have a lot, please spare me this time.”

    Qin Zhou hugged Xiao Pei, “I really know I was wrong.”

    “Okay.” Xiao Pei softened as soon as Qin Zhou hugged him, because he had been thinking about this hug for half a month. He hugged Qin Zhou back and said in a small voice, “I forgive you.”
