After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend

It must be admitted that even though Bai Tao had already explained it to Pei Jin beforehand,

When Bai Zhenzhen said those words, she was still worried that Pei Jin would misunderstand.

Pei Jin took her hand and they walked slowly under the sycamore tree.

Bai Tao gripped his hand tighter and tighter, just like her heart.

"Pei Jin...I..."

She wanted to say "I love you," but could she really say it in such a short time, with such heavy and weighty words?

Pei Jin glanced down at Bai Tao, understanding the hesitation and struggle in her eyes, and tightened his grip on her hand.

"Bai Tao, I love you."

"What?"

Bai Tao looked up in surprise.

I said I love you.

Bai Tao's eyes began to sting, and she lowered her head.

"Pei Jin, what if I really had such despicable thoughts, and I really am the bad person she's talking about?"

If finding you was a lie, and I found you only to use you.

"Then I will only thank you."

I know that following this path will not be easy; I am trapped in a state of poverty and despair, but I still want to drag you into it and hope that you will save me.

In the end, I'm more despicable than you.

Bai Tao's heart was gently touched by those words, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Brother Pei!"

The next second, she and Pei Jin froze at the same time, looking back in disbelief.

Chi Shibao sat in his friend's convertible Ferrari and waved wildly at them.

The car drove past them, and Chi Shibao anxiously patted his friend.

"Stop the car! Stop the car! That's my brother."

"Don't move! Parking is prohibited here. No parking allowed!"

The car didn't stop, and Chi Shibao turned around and yelled again.

"Brother Pei, I'll be waiting for you up ahead!"

Pei Jin sighed.

I was thinking that I finally dared to say the word "I love you" today, and I would go home and spend some time with Bai Tao.

Bai Tao secretly turned around and wiped away the tears that hadn't yet flowed from her eyes with the back of her hand.

Pei Jin stood there for a while and then followed her slowly forward.

Chi Shibao ran over from a distance, wearing a simple white T-shirt, a large necklace around his neck, black athletic shorts, and a pair of Thunder flip-flops.

He was clean-cut and had bright, sparkling eyes; you could tell at a glance that he was a naive and naive college student.

"Brother Pei!"

Pei Jin was at a loss and smiled helplessly.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping? So I had my friend walk around these streets. Hey, Sister Bai Tao, you're much prettier in person than in the videos."

Bai Tao smiled and greeted him.

Hello~

"Come on, Brother Pei, take me to play."

Pei Jin held up the bag of clothes in his hand, intending to say that he was carrying too many things and it was inconvenient for him to play.

As a result, Chi Shibao took half of it and held it in his own hand.

"Let's go, Brother Pei, I'm starving!"

In the end, Pei Jin still carried a bunch of things and, together with Bai Tao, took him to Wangfujing.

Chi Shibao was like a starving ghost reincarnated, wanting to eat everything.

Finally, the three of them sat in a hot pot restaurant, and Chi Shibao insisted on taking a selfie of the three of them.

Bai Tao sat in the middle, and Chi Shibao made a peace sign at the camera. Bai Tao, who had been sullen, was completely coaxed by him tonight and copied him by making a peace sign with both hands.

Seeing that Bai Tao was in a better mood, Pei Jin also smiled and looked at the camera.

It wasn't until 21 PM that Chi Shibao was too full to play anymore.

He lay down directly on a bench in the pedestrian street outside and waved his hand.

"I can't go on anymore, bro, I want to sleep."

He sent his location to a friend on his phone, and someone came to pick him up soon after.

As Chi Shibao left, he turned back and blew Pei Jin a kiss. Bai Tao covered her mouth and smiled. Pei Jin didn't say anything, but hailed a taxi and took her home.

While waiting for the elevator, it was on the -2 floor.

Bai Tao kept her eyes glued to the changing floor numbers, desperately hoping they wouldn't bump into the colleague she'd run into at the elevator entrance last time.

The elevator doors slowly opened, but there was no one inside.

Bai Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Jin followed behind her, glanced at her, and said nothing.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. There was a delivery box on the ground near the door. Bai Tao squatted down, picked it up, and looked at it.

"your?"

She hasn't bought anything lately.

Pei Jin followed, glanced down,

"Um."

What is that...?

Without thinking much, Bai Tao scanned her fingerprint, pushed open the door, and went inside, casually opening the express box.

The moment she tore open the wrapping paper, she looked down and saw what was inside, and paused for a second.

"Pei Jin!"

Pei Jin was putting the new clothes he had just bought for Bai Tao into the washing machine when he heard her call him. He straightened up.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"You scum!"

Bai Tao held up the opened delivery box.

"Why didn't you put it in the delivery locker downstairs! Who gave you permission to leave it at the door?!"

Pei Jin glanced at the box she was holding, his tone remaining calm.

Discreet shipping, baby~

Pei Jin continued to put the light brown shirt into the washing machine.

Bai Tao stood there with the box in her hand, looked down at it once, then looked at it again, then turned around and stuffed the box into the bottom drawer of the coffee table in the living room.

-

To verify Chi Shibao's learning progress, Chi's mother gave him ten million yuan, with very low demands, asking him to take eleven million yuan home.

Chi Shibao initially borrowed one million from friends.

Mrs. Chi was furious and told him to get out immediately.

Chi Shibao contacted a few friends for advice.

A friend sent him a video of himself lying on a beach in Hawaii with a cigar, accompanied by his friend's earnest advice.

"Bo, haven't you heard the saying? It's not that we're afraid of rich kids who are obsessed with trivial things and lose their ambition, it's that we're afraid of rich kids who have lofty aspirations."

"Fake extravagance: cigarettes, luxury cars, beautiful women; real extravagance: entrepreneurship."

Knowing that neither he nor his friends were cut out for it, he quickly went to ask Pei Jin for help.

[Bro, you said a while back that you were looking for stock funds, is that still true?]

Pei Jin sat in the company cafeteria, somewhat surprised.

[To be counted.]

I only have five million, bro.

You get eight, I get two.

"Deal! I only need one million. How long will it take, bro?"

[Half a month.]

Pei Jin dared not make any boastful claims, but if he seized the opportunity, it might only take a day.

If the money were his own, he would take a gamble.

But if it were Chi Shibo, he would be as cautious as possible and avoid taking risks.

Pei Jin has been very busy lately, and Bai Tao hasn't kissed, hugged, or lifted him up in the air for three days.

Their company's research project has made a breakthrough, and Pei Jin doesn't go home until after 11 p.m. every night, and one day he even went home in the early hours of the morning.

Finally, on Thursday, Bai Tao told Qiao Yue that she would be taking Friday off.

At 1 a.m., Bai Tao sat in the living room with the lights on and heard the sound of the keypad lock unlocking.

She opened her eyes, and Pei Jin walked in, looking exhausted. When he saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Baby?"

Bai Tao rubbed her eyes, threw herself into his arms, and seeing the dark circles under his eyes, her heart ached terribly, and her voice became soft and weak.

"Pei Jin, why are you so late?"

Pei Jin lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"I'm dirty. Why aren't you asleep yet? Go take a shower."

He grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom. When he closed the door, he almost hit Bai Tao, who was following behind him.

She clung to his waist, refusing to let go.

Pei Jin glanced at the two people in the mirror. He was wearing a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, while Bai Tao was wearing a strawberry-patterned camisole nightgown, which was pressed against his back.

"You want it?"

Bai Tao looked up, all the emotions she had been building up vanished by those words. She let go of his hand, turned around and was about to leave when Pei Jin picked her up from behind.

She grabbed Pei Jin's arm with her hands, her legs kicking wildly in the air.

"Pei Jin! Let go of me, you stink!"

"Nonsense, your nose is broken."

Pei Jin laid a towel on the sink and placed her on it.

Bai Tao sat on the sink and saw that Xiao Xiao Pei was awake. She placed her foot on Pei Jin's abs and slowly moved it down.

Aren't you tired?

She did want to, but she felt more sorry for him.

The dark circles under his eyes were so obvious that she felt a little sorry for him.

Pei Jin glanced at her but didn't answer. Instead, he turned on the tap, washed his face, and vigorously rubbed the dark circles under his eyes.

The dark bruise faded and then disappeared.

Bai Tao stared in disbelief.

Pei Jin frowned, checked himself in the mirror, and then turned his head away.

"I got some dirt on my hands while working in the workshop today."

Bai Tao paused for a moment.

So, was her concern a joke?

Pei Jin went outside and rummaged through the wardrobe, taking out two folded pieces of fabric.

That can hardly be called clothing; it's just fabric.

The set that Bai Tao had previously placed under the coffee table had already been washed clean by him, but the key point is that she didn't even know when he washed it.

Pei Jin unfolded the piece of cloth; the three pieces combined were still smaller than his upper body. Bai Tao covered her eyes, peeking at him through a crack.

Last time, Pei Jin refused to stop, and Bai Tao had no choice but to tell him that if he stopped, she would dress him in his little clothes.

Pei Jin initially refused, but eventually stopped.

Then Bai Tao completely forgot about it, and Pei Jin secretly bought himself a reward.

"When did you take a shower?"

"I washed it yesterday at noon after having lunch at the company. I hung it on the balcony all day to dry."

"Wow," Bai Tao thought to herself.

She thought Pei Jin was incredibly busy, but it turns out he's a master of time management...
