DAVM Chapter 52.3

The schoolbag in his arms was lifted and accompanied by a warm voice: “Go to our house, Pei Jing. I don’t want you to wait here all the time. Drunk people usually don’t wake up until the next day. You can come back tomorrow.”

Pei Jing squeezed the hem of his clothes tightly. The school uniform did not block the wind at night, and the wind blowing in from the collar was already suffocating. Pei Jing shivered and said in a low voice, “Thank you, Auntie.”

He stood up, but the long squatting made his body shake.

Si Tian grabbed his arm in time, then did not let go, and directly held Pei Jing’s hand.

Pei Jing’s hands were a little cold. Half an hour had passed since he came home, and he had also stayed outside for half an hour.

Pei Jing has rarely been held like this. His grandmother has held him, but his grandmother’s hand is rough and there is a thick cocoon in his palm, while his mother has never held him.

Pei Jing looked at Si Tian who was walking beside him. His fingers curled slightly. If his mother was willing to hold him, it should be the same feeling. He suddenly felt a little restrained, and his hands unconsciously wanted to escape, but they were held even tighter.

Si Tian said, “Be careful, don’t fall again.”

Pei Jing’s face was a little hot, and he said ‘hmm’.

“Pei Jing, I saw the money you left under the pillow.” Si Tian took out the money wrapped in a note from her pocket, handed it to Pei Jing, and said, “You helped me wash the dishes, and I invited you to eat fried skewers, so you don’t need to pay for it.”

Pei Jing shook his head: “Auntie, this is not equal.”

“I’m happy if there’s any inequity.” Si Tian’s tone was very domineering, and she instantly dismissed Pei Jing’s words.

Pei Jing said, “But I still have to sleep at Auntie’s house.”

Si Tian sighed softly in her heart. Seeing Pei Jing’s stubborn appearance, she took the money back into her pocket.

“Then, Auntie accepted it this time. But, I don’t need it next time because Pei Jing is Ningyi’s friend. Everyone is very happy when you come to our house. I, Ningyi, and Zhile like you very much. Like can’t be measured by money, this is the most precious thing.”

Pei Jing nodded: “I see.”

It was just that it seemed that this was the first time someone told him that they liked him. Pei Jing squeezed Si Tian’s hand and followed her into a bright room.

Si Tian led him upstairs and said to him: “Can Pei Jing wear Ningyi’s pajamas first tonight? Ningyi has several sets.”

Pei Jing nodded and said, “I also want to ask Ningyi for his opinion.”

Si Tian knocked on the door of Ji Ningyi’s room. As soon as Ji Ningyi opened it and saw the two of them, his eyes widened in surprise: “Pei Jing, why are you here?”

Si Tian knew the truth of the matter, but she did not tell Ningyi right now, she just said: “Ningyi, Pei Jing is sleeping at our house tonight, can he borrow your pajamas?”

Ji Ningyi nodded: “Of course, I will take you to take a bath, Pei Jing.”

Pei Jing looked at Si Tian, ​​Si Tian smiled back, and then Pei Jing followed Ji Ningyi and left.

Si Tian felt that this matter still depended on whether Pei Jing was willing to tell Ji Ningyi or not. After all, they were friends.

In the room, Ji Ningyi was very happy. After giving Pei Jing pajamas, he taught Pei Jing how to turn on the hot water and adjust the water temperature, and then he asked him to use his own towel.

Although Ji Ningyi doesn’t like other people touching his things very much, and the last time Yu Xi touched his school uniform, he did not like it very much, but Pei Jing is his friend. Pei Jing is very clean, and he won’t mess up after taking physical education class like other students, so Ji Ningyi is willing to give his own things to Pei Jing.

He was very happy: “Pei Jing, when you went back just now, Zhile was not very happy. He will welcome you again when he sees you.”

He did not ask Pei Jing why he came to his house again. The first time he blurted it out because he was in surprise, but now it’s polite. He thought maybe Pei Jing did not want to tell him. Everyone has secrets, good friends are no exception, and he also has it.

But Pei Jing took the warm water with his hands and said in a low voice: “My mother was drunk and locked me outside. Auntie asked me to stay at your house for one night. I will go back tomorrow.”

Ji Ningyi showed some sadness in his eyes and said, “It’s okay if you don’t go back, our house has many rooms.”

Pei Jing shook his head: “My mother is at home.”

His mother is at home so he can’t go anywhere else.

And this is the home of Ji Ningyi and Ji Zhile. Although they are good friends, good friends cannot always live in each other’s house.

“Thank you, Ningyi, I’ll take a shower first.”

As soon as Ji Ningyi exited the bathroom, he felt a little sad. The child, who usually digests by himself, mustered up the courage to push open the door and saw Si Tian outside.

He approached, leaned against Si Tian, ​​and asked in a low voice, “Mom, can I help Pei Jing?”
