Pei Xi walked in expressionlessly, "How much have you written?"
After asking, without waiting for Shen Qingqing's reply, he directly pulled out the notebook, flipped through it, and found that it had only increased by three pages since morning, immediately becoming displeased.
"At this speed, when will you finish?"
Shen Qingqing put down her pen and stretched her slightly stiff back, "Then what do you intend? I am a person, not a computer."
Every stroke, every word, writing also takes time!
Pei Xi gritted his teeth, threw the notebook back in front of her, and sat down on the bed himself, "Write."
Shen Qingqing secretly rolled her eyes, picked up her pen, and continued writing.
Pei Ji had already woken up, but his whole body ached, and he had no strength. He didn't want to speak at all, and just watched Shen Qingqing write word by word.
He really admired her a little.
Pei Xi, that pervert, was staring at her so intently from the side, yet she could remain completely unaffected, as if Pei Xi didn't exist at all!
Even he felt his scalp tingle under Pei Xi's gaze and couldn't ignore him.
How did she do it?
Time trickled by, and in the end, it was Pei Xi who couldn't hold back. He disliked this feeling of being ignored.
He walked over, yanked the notebook away, stared at her with red eyes, and said nothing.
Shen Qingqing sighed, put down her pen, and looked up at him, "The matter of making money has run into problems, hasn't it?"
Pei Xi's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "How did you know?"
Could it be that the bank was really their doing?
Then there would be a danger of exposure here, and he had to leave immediately, taking these two people with him. But since they dared to scheme against him.
This revenge must be exacted.
In a flash, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Shen Qingqing glanced at him contemptuously, "Can you calm down a bit? Don't be like a firecracker, igniting with the slightest spark."
Pei Xi looked at her, his body tense, ready to spring.
It was as if he was about to act the moment she said anything wrong.
Shen Qingqing pointed to her head, "I have a brain. In your current situation, stepping out is equivalent to walking into danger yourself. Yet you still went, which means you couldn't afford not to go, meaning you went to make money."
Pei Xi's expression remained unchanged, "Continue."
"Although I don't know what problem the plan proposed, just looking at your expression..." Shen Qingqing paused, her gaze shifting away as if unable to bear looking, "I can guess, it definitely wasn't smooth."
Pei Xi nodded, his tone meaningful, "Clever."
Shen Qingqing, however, couldn't be bothered to guess anymore. She took the notebook, brushed off the dust on it, "I advise you to calm down later and don't throw notebooks around. This is for you. If you find it dirty later, you won't be able to get another one for a while. I won't copy it a second time for you."
Her calmness did not resemble a prisoner at all.
Pei Xi suddenly smiled, "You truly open my eyes."
Every time, she could surprise him.
Suddenly, he was a little reluctant to kill her.
Someone like her should be kept by his side, to see her fear, sorrow, pain, and ferocity, which would surely be very beautiful.
He licked his dry lips.
Shen Qingqing frowned, looked up, and glared at him, "Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting."
Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she could guess it wasn't anything good. This guy was a pervert.
She didn't want to guess the thoughts of a pervert.
Pei Xi lounged on the bed, seemingly in a good mood, no longer gloomy, exuding a sense of joy.
He had found a good toy, how could he not be happy.
Just thinking about taking Shen Qingqing away, seeing how nervous, worried, and fearful Fu Jingshu, King, the old man... so many people would become.
He felt his hair stand on end.
It was excitement, exhilaration.
He couldn't wait to do it immediately!
No, not yet, no rush, wait a little longer, just a little longer...
The longer the wait, the more tempting the toy became, like fine cuisine, the more delicious it would be.
Shen Qingqing wrote two more words, then decisively threw down her pen, preparing to rest for a moment. She turned to look at Pei Ji, only to find his forehead covered in sweat.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Ji shook his head and said nothing.
Shen Qingqing went to feel his forehead. He didn't have a fever. She then looked him over and immediately understood, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Pei Ji endured it, but still nodded, unable to help himself.
This kind of pain was unbearable.
Not to mention the weakness and soreness all over his body, the pain at the fracture, and the pain in his palms. This was the most painful part.
The heart is in the fingers, it's really agonizing.
Shen Qingqing slapped her forehead, "I was negligent."
The situation was difficult now. She appeared relaxed, but her heartstrings were taut, all focused on dealing with Pei Xi. She had forgotten that Pei Ji's injuries would be more painful than death when they acted up.
"He needs painkillers," she said, looking at Pei Xi.
Pei Xi said coldly, "I'm not a doctor, nor a pharmacy."
Shen Qingqing pleaded, "Go and buy him some. Otherwise, with his injuries, he will continue to be in pain."
Pei Xi remained motionless, staring at Pei Ji, "No. Aren't you always very strong? Then just endure it."
Shen Qingqing rebuked, "Pei Xi!"
"I said, there is none," Pei Xi stood up, looking down at Pei Ji, "Does it hurt? It should hurt. This is the treatment you get here. I was too lenient before, giving you the illusion that you've forgotten you are prisoners!"
Shen Qingqing's brows furrowed, her expression indignant, "Pei Xi, are you crazy?"
"Yes, I've been crazy for a long time," Pei Xi admitted directly, "Did you only just realize I was crazy today?"
Shen Qingqing stood up. Though shorter than him, her aura did not lose to him at all, "Don't forget, the deal we made was that I give you what you want, and you must ensure he returns to the palace safely. What are you doing now?"
Pei Xi stared at her, sinisterly, "I like it, I'm happy."
Shen Qingqing's anger subsided, and she suddenly calmed down, "Fine, then we'll cancel the deal. We'll fight with our lives and die here, and you won't escape either."
Pei Xi didn't believe it, "Do you dare?"
"You try me."
Her eyes held a desperate madness.
Pei Xi met her gaze, neither willing to back down, and they were at a stalemate for a moment.
It was Pei Ji's pained groan that drew their attention back. Shen Qingqing crouched beside him, then turned to look at Pei Xi.
"Are you buying it or not?"
Pei Xi gritted his teeth, looking at Pei Ji with great disgust, "What a useless piece of trash!"
Pei Ji's body stiffened. He raised his eyes, bloodshot, and said hoarsely, "I don't need you to buy it."
Even if he died, he wouldn't show any weakness in front of Pei Xi. Even if he died of pain, he could endure it!
Shen Qingqing lowered her voice, "Pei Ji, don't force yourself."
He might really die of pain.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked a desperate struggle to get Pei Xi to buy medicine.
