When I returned to Pei Shi Yu's side, I noticed an extra person standing there. It was the foreigner I had seen in the country last time.

I didn't know what they were talking about, but they seemed to be having a good time chatting. I stood at a distance, observing their every word and action, not out of eavesdropping, but to figure out if there was anything between them.

Until Pei Shi Yu's eyes met mine, I felt a little uncomfortable and quickly looked away. So-called love should be petty, and I was no exception. It wasn't that I suspected her, but there was an inexplicable discomfort in my heart.

I simply found a seat ten meters away. As soon as I sat down, I received a call from Xiao Wu. I immediately answered and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm at the police station now. Remember to help me when you get back." Xiao Wu seemed very calm this time.

"I know. I'm already at the airport. Just cooperate with the police and answer truthfully."

"Okay, I'll send my dad's number to your phone later. If I can't get out, tell them."

I was silent for a while. Although Xiao Wu didn't say it directly, I knew that if things got serious, it was necessary to inform his parents. I agreed and hung up the phone.

It was time to board, so I got up and walked towards Pei Shi Yu. They had already stood up. I went over and shook hands with the foreigner. He was more open-minded than me and said with a generous smile, "You are the pure water."

I smiled and politely asked, "When are you going to China again?"

"Next month. We'll meet again soon."

"Welcome."

After saying that, I deliberately put my arm around Pei Shi Yu and introduced her to the foreigner, "She's my girlfriend now."

"Oh, congratulations. I have no chance then." The foreigner told me generously.

"It's best if you don't." I replied, deliberately a little domineering.

I admired his generosity and laughed at my own pettiness in my heart.

Before entering the boarding gate, the foreigner handed a document to Pei Shi Yu. This time they switched to English. Perhaps it was a commercial secret. Not only could I understand, but I also stood further away from them. Fortunately, they only spoke a few simple sentences, and Pei Shi Yu raised her right hand and waved goodbye to him.

After boarding the plane and sitting down, I pretended to be relaxed and asked, "What did he say to you?"

"Didn't you hear it?"

"I heard it, but I didn't understand it."

"There's no need to understand it." Pei Shi Yu turned off her phone and replied.

I pretended to be calm and brought up the issue I cared about before: "I can tell that the foreigner likes you, but I'm just curious, have you ever been together? I need to hear the truth, or wouldn't it be awkward to meet?"

"I'm involved with everyone. You should be happy with that answer, right?"

"Is this a matter of being happy?"

"Then what is it? You're always guessing whether I have something with others. Are you just that kind of person, sleeping with every woman around you?" Pei Shi Yu's words blocked my mouth.

I used to be like that, but now, apart from Wang Rui, there are hardly any women around me, so I asked her with some confidence, "When have you seen me with a woman around me?"

"I don't want to care about the past, and I'm not the kind of suspicious woman. As long as everyone is happy together." Pei Shi Yu said very rationally.

This answer wasn't what I wanted. It seemed too indifferent to our relationship, more like an indifferent attitude. Perhaps men are just born to be cheap. If you control them too much, they find it annoying. If they're not valued, they feel less confident.

Moreover, her tone showed an indifferent attitude towards our sleeping together. My desire for responsibility seemed a bit of a fuss. Compared to this morning, I couldn't figure out Pei Shi Yu again. Was it still related to the foreigner's appearance?

All kinds of suspicions and guesses made me feel very disappointed. For the first time, I felt that being in love was a kind of mental torture, sometimes happy, sometimes frustrated, and my emotions became like those of a mentally ill person. The firmness in my heart was also repeatedly wandering between overturning and rebuilding.

Just like now, I began to close my passionate heart again. I turned sideways and pretended to sleep, leaning my head on the headrest, with my eyes slightly closed, secretly observing Pei Shi Yu's expression. She wasn't affected by what she had just said. Her eyes were looking at her beautiful fingers, as if she was checking her nail polish. Ten fingers like scallions were probably used to describe Pei Shi Yu's hand shape.

"Aren't you going to talk?"

Pei Shi Yu suddenly spoke, as if she knew I was observing her, and her tone seemed particularly calm. I closed my eyes completely and replied faintly, "What is there to talk about?"

"Did I say something wrong just now?"

"It doesn't seem like I said anything wrong either. It's just that our views on love are different."

"Then tell me what your views on love are?" Pei Shi Yu seemed quite curious.

"It's definitely different from yours, and I'm not as generous as you."

"It's not called generosity. Trust is the foundation of relationships. If you're petty all the time, how can you get along?"

"I just care about whether you have anything with him... Wouldn't it be easy if you just answered me directly?"

"In your impression, am I that kind of casual woman?"

"I just want to ask. If there wasn't anything, I would talk to him much more naturally. This isn't being petty. Think about it the other way around. If I were with a woman I had a relationship with, and she was still friends with you, would you mind?"

Pei Shi Yu pondered for a while and finally realized my thoughts. She explained patiently, "That makes sense, but I'm not that mindless, am I? Even if there was something between us, it was because we knew each other first. What happened with you was an accident. Your analogy is more suspicious."

"What do you mean by 'purely an accident'? Are you saying I have no feelings? I have no problem with you guys speaking English for official matters, but if you're talking about me, aren't I being treated like an idiot?"

"No one would say anything about you. They still have that much quality. You need to change your paranoia."

"Why didn't you fall for him if he's so outstanding?" I wanted to know this from the bottom of my heart.

"He's already married. He's just giving me face. His wife is very beautiful. He'll bring her next time, and then you can see how high his standards are."

Pei Shi Yu explained very thoroughly this time, and I didn't say anything more. There was nothing else to argue about. Except for whether she had feelings for me or not, it seemed that everything else had been cleared up.

At this time, the plane had already soared into the clouds. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, Pei Shi Yu closed her eyes tightly. The expression on her face, who was just talkative, looked very heavy at this time, as if she was immersed in some kind of memory.
