At the same time as I understood, my tone also softened, and I no longer used a tit-for-tat approach when talking to Pei Shi Yu. Pei Shi Yu also realized the change in my attitude, so she sat down on the sofa. I stood opposite her, looked at her and asked, "How many months?"

"Three months."

"More than half a year left. You have to take care of yourself after I leave."

"Did you take care of me before leaving?" Pei Shi Yu looked up at me and asked.

"I want to take care of you, do you agree?"

I thought Pei Shi Yu would avoid my question, but she didn't. She asked me very seriously, "What way do you want to take care of me?"

"You tell me." I answered very straightforwardly.

"Caring has to come from the heart, not from someone else telling you to!"

"No prompting needed. As long as you agree, I will take good care of you."

"Are you sure you're leaving?" Pei Shi Yu suddenly asked.

"Yeah, at the end of the month, there are still more than ten days."

"Going to New York?" Pei Shi Yu asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, it's been decided."

"I hope you don't become a wanderer."

"Don't worry, Wang Rui will go with me."

"Don't come back."

I ignored Pei Shi Yu's teasing and asked her, "Is Xiao Long still in New York?"

"Yeah."

"Don't you plan to see him?"

"What do you mean, going around in circles?"

"When I get there, I want to see Xiao Long, but without you, it doesn't seem convenient to disturb him."

"No need, I just went to see him."

Perhaps Pei Shi Yu hadn't opened her heart yet, and her tone of voice was always suppressing, making it difficult for me to catch her words. I looked at the time, it wasn't late, it was just past nine o'clock.

Before going back, I asked ingratiatingly, "Shall I pick you up from work starting tomorrow?"

"I already have a driver."

"Oh?" I showed a surprised expression.

"Anything else?"

Pei Shi Yu's tone was already issuing an eviction order, and I didn't plan to stay any longer. I immediately picked up the boiled water from the coffee table and took a few sips, put it down and said, "Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, I will continue to work hard until you accept me."

I thought my attitude was very sincere, but Pei Shi Yu didn't seem to think so. She suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Where do you think you went wrong?"

"Uh? That time we broke up?"

"Yeah."

"Let me think."

I felt this was an opportunity. If I answered well, I might be forgiven. I carefully recalled the scene. Since Pei Shi Yu would ask this, there must be something I didn't do well, rather than focusing on my previous behavior.

Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, and I hadn't found what she minded, so I didn't answer this question for a long time, and I didn't want to perfunctorily deal with her.

"Haven't realized it yet?" Pei Shi Yu asked first, looking at my tangled appearance.

"That day I was just a little guilty, and I didn't want you to know about it, so I focused on how to get her away, and ignored your feelings. That's what I thought at the time. You are not on the same level at all, and you don't need to be compared with her, so I felt that your anger was unnecessary. I don't know if you are satisfied with my answer, but I am telling the truth."

After I finished speaking, my eyes kept staring at Pei Shi Yu's face, and she avoided my gaze and raised her eyebrows. Based on my understanding of her, I should have accidentally hit the nail on the head.

Taking advantage of such a good opportunity, I wanted to completely relieve her, and then continued to say, "That woman is a thing of the past. If it wasn't for the coincidence that day, I wouldn't even remember who it was, not to mention that a thirty-year-old man should be forgiven, right?"

"This matter is over, no need to mention it in the future."

I looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Have you forgiven me?"

"There's no forgiving or not forgiving. It's over once it's explained clearly." Her tone suddenly became the same as before.

Pei Shi Yu's answer made me have a new understanding of her. She seemed stubborn, but in fact, she accepted my explanation and instantly became very reasonable. At the same time, she returned to the Pei Shi Yu I was familiar with.

I smiled and asked her, "Then do I still have to go back tonight?"

"Pushing your luck?"

"No, I just feel like I've missed a lot during this time."

"Indeed a lot. When I got the pregnancy report, there was no one to share it with." Pei Shi Yu said the surprise belonging to the two of us in a flat tone.

"It seems we are destined to be inseparable. The wish I made at the Trevi Fountain in Rome came true."

Pei Shi Yu looked at me in astonishment. I immediately explained, "When you went to Milan, I took Xiao Long to make a wish at the Trevi Fountain."

"What did Xiao Long wish for?"

"Xiao Long's wish will never come true."

"Uh, why?"

"Don't ask."

Pei Shi Yu seemed to understand what I meant in an instant, and immediately stood up from the sofa to cover up her inner emotions. Seeing this, I said, "Then you should rest early, I'm going back, I'll come see you again tomorrow."

"The flowers are very beautiful." Pei Shi Yu said casually before I left.

"If you like them, I'll send them every day."

"No need."

I took a few steps towards her while staring at her, then stopped and asked, "How about not going back tonight?"

"What would I do if I stayed?"

"Chat, we've been separated for so long, I have a lot to tell you."

"Save it for later."

My temptation didn't get Pei Shi Yu's approval, so I didn't need to insist on my own ideas. Under Pei Shi Yu's gaze, I left her residence.

Perhaps Pei Shi Yu's attitude today seemed to be what I expected, and it didn't bring me too much surprise. After all, I understood what she meant from the beginning. Who hasn't been young? Not to mention me, a man who grew up without supervision.

On the way, Pei Shi Yu sent me a WeChat message, just a few short words: "Don't send flowers starting tomorrow."

I parked the car on the side and immediately replied, "I ordered them for half a month, and the money has already been paid. Just accept them happily, and you can change them to your favorite color."

"No need to change, purple is my favorite color."

I sat in the car, lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and replied: "You said that purple represents romance, I hope to be your nominal husband, and always be your lover in terms of feelings."

Pei Shi Yu replied quickly: "Dream on!" I laughed after reading it.

"Love you! Have a good dream tonight."

Rare tenderness, but Pei Shi Yu didn't reply to me again. At this moment, my smile was almost overflowing. After being separated for so long, a few short words seemed to return to the feeling of first love.

I put out the cigarette, got back on the road, and then accelerated the speed of the car. In the face of the wind, I wanted to release my enthusiasm, leaving behind my joy in the beautiful night of Hang City.
