Chapter 5

"It's best to keep a safe distance from him."

For the convenience of work, Pei Xu now lives in the Boting Mansion in Changnan District, which is only across the road from the company.

Platinum Court Mansion is a high-end residential area in the core area of ​​the first ring road, with one apartment per floor, and it has done a good job in terms of security and privacy.After Pei Xu parked the car, he didn't need to worry about being bumped into and causing misunderstandings, and he carried the drunk person directly into the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the 25th floor.

Pei Xu opened the door and carried him into the room, and put him on the sofa.He unbuttoned two shirt buttons with one hand, and looked down at him condescendingly: "Still putting it on?"

The person pretending to be drunk moved, buried his face in the sofa pillow, and made no sound.

Pei Xu smiled, and asked him again: "Are you hungry, can I serve you a bowl of noodles?"

Qiao Nan drank with those cronies, and never had a good meal.

It was fine if he didn't say anything, but Qiao Nan's stomach growled when he said it.He clutched his stomach and thought, he was indeed a little hungry.

And he hasn't eaten the supper made by his brother for a long time.

Qiao Nan lay on the sofa for a while, his face still buried in the pillow, and he hummed softly, "I'm hungry."

"Or tomato beef noodles?" Pei Xu said while rolling his sleeves up to his forearms to check the ingredients in the refrigerator.

Qiao's family has an aunt who cooks, but the aunt also needs to rest at night.When Qiao Nan was in adolescence, he was always hungry because of his physical development. He didn’t want to wake up his aunt for supper in the middle of the night, so he could only order takeaway.But he has a bad stomach, and he is always prone to stomach troubles when eating takeaway. After Pei Xu found out, he started to learn how to cook from his aunt at home.

Qiao Nan likes his tomato beef noodles the most.

He took the ingredients out and put the beef in the microwave to thaw.

Seeing that he had seen through it, Qiao Nan didn't pretend at all, jumped off the sofa, ran into the kitchen with a few steps, lay on his back and asked, "Another soft-boiled egg!"

Pei Xu was half a head taller than him, because he had been exercising all year round, and his body was much stronger than him. Qiao Nan had to stand on tiptoes when lying on his back, and most of him hung on him.

Under the pressure of the weight, the two people's bodies were tightly attached.

Pei Xu paused imperceptibly, then patted his hand: "Go and play by yourself for a while."

"Then I'll take a shower first." Qiao Nanmei let him go, lowered his head and smelled himself, and said disgustedly: "The whole body smells of alcohol, and it stinks."

Pei Xu's eyes changed. He lowered his head and rinsed the tomato under the faucet. His face was hidden in the shadow of the backlight, but his voice was still gentle: "Go."

Qiao Nan didn't notice that he sneaked into Pei Xu's bedroom without a trace.

Pei Xu's bedroom is still dominated by black, white and grey, and the bedroom's layout is not much different from that at Qiao's house.

Qiao Nan skillfully rummaged to find new bath towels and underwear, but he couldn't find pajamas.

"I didn't even prepare my pajamas." Realizing that Pei Xu really planned to live here alone, Qiao Nan muttered unhappily, and then picked the most expensive shirt from Pei Xu's closet and went into the bathroom.

It's not that he deliberately used Pei Xu's shirt as pajamas.

Blame him for not getting ready sooner!

Pei Xu absently boiled and peeled the tomatoes.

The sound of dripping water passed through the living room and entered the kitchen, accompanied by Qiao Nan's cheerful singing from time to time.

The movement was so clear that Pei Xu was almost certain that Qiao Nan hadn't closed the bedroom door.

He never regarded him as an outsider, and he had no sense of avoiding suspicion. When he was at home, he would always come out loudly wrapped in a bath towel.

If he goes in now, Qiao Nan has nowhere to hide.This is not Qiao's house, he can have no scruples...

The picture of pushing people against the wall appeared in his mind, and Pei Xu's expression fluctuated until he felt a dull pain in his fingers, which brought him back to his senses——

The pulp of the index finger of his left hand was cut by a kitchen knife, and blood gushed out and dripped on the countertop.

Pei Xu looked at the wound on his fingertips expressionlessly, turned on the faucet, and rinsed the wound under the water column as if masturbating himself. The sound of splashing water covered up the movement from the master bedroom until the wound turned white and there was no more blood The beads overflowed, Pei Xucai withdrew his hand, took out the thawed beef and continued to cut it into pieces.

Qiao Nan took a shower and came out refreshed.

Before the wet hair had time to dry, it stuck to the cheeks carelessly, and the water droplets slid down the slender neck, soaking the small piece of fabric soon.

"Why are the sleeves so long?" Qiao Nan struggled to roll up the sleeves to his elbows, finding the wind to blow his hair.

When Pei Xu came out with his face upright, he saw him wearing his own shirt, with his head bowed and his back turned to him, standing in the living room drying his hair.

Qiao Nan was shorter than him, with a slender frame. His shirt looked very baggy on him, and the length just covered his hips, revealing his straight and slender legs.

He doesn't like sports, and has almost no muscle lines. The white and soft skin is evenly distributed, which makes those long legs a little more sensual, which is even more intriguing.

Pei Xu fixed his gaze on it, and after a long while, he bit the soft meat inside his mouth hard, looked away with difficulty, put the noodle bowl on the dining table, and called Qiao Nan to eat.

With half of his hair blown, Qiao Nan cheered and trot to the dining table.

He looked at the bowl of noodles with one and only: "Brother, don't you want to eat?"

"I've had dinner." Putting warm milk by his hand, Pei Xu sat down beside him.

He locked his eyes on Qiao Nan, put his injured hand under the table, and pressed his thumb against the wound, reminding himself with the dull pain in his body.

"Did Zhong Shi also go to the Xiao family's dinner today?" He found a topic to divert his attention.

"Yeah." Qiao Nan took a sip of the noodles, and was still a little angry when he thought of the dog: "He even said bad things about you!"

Pei Xu's expression moved slightly: "What did he say?"

Qiao Nan repeated Zhong Shiyi's words, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I don't know why, if he messes with me again next time, I'll break his other leg."

As he spoke, he took a mouthful of noodles viciously.

Pei Xu's expression softened a little, he took out a tissue to wipe the soup from the corner of his mouth, and said "OK" with a smile.

A bowl of noodles was eaten quickly, Qiao Nan hiccupped and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

Pei Xu cleaned up the dishes and went to the second bedroom to wash up.

When he returned to the master bedroom, he saw Qiao Nan already lying on his bed.Seeing him come in, Qiao Nan rolled to the side, patted the place next to him, and raised his beautiful eyebrows: "Brother, come quickly!"

It's like an invitation.

Pei Xu paused, his long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, sending out a dangerous signal.

But Qiao Nan didn't realize it.

Pei Xu suddenly reached out and turned off the light in the master bedroom, the bedroom suddenly went dark, only the bedside wall lamp was still emitting a soft gleam.

He hid his whole body in his black eyes, and locked his eyes on Qiao Nan unscrupulously, but there was no abnormality in his voice: "You go to bed first, I still have work to do."

Qiao Nan rolled around on the bed and sat up, feeling that he seemed to have wronged him earlier, and even his voice was a little guilty: "Are you really so busy?"

Pei Xu let out a "hmm", backed out and slowly closed the door, the voice came through the crack of the door: "I'm going to the study, it's getting late, you go to bed early."

There's really nothing to do with it.

Pei Xu's work efficiency has always been high, and he has no habit of taking work home to deal with.

After entering the study room, he didn't turn on the light, but sat down at the desk in the dim neon colors outside the window, and the whole person was immersed in the darkness.

Put your fingers on the table and tap lightly, making a muffled "tuk-tuk" sound.

After a long time, he seemed to have finally made a decision, opened the drawer on the right hand side, took out a remote control and pressed it lightly.

On the wall opposite the desk, as the decorative shutters slowly rose, the big bed in the master bedroom and Qiao Nan on the bed appeared in front of him.

——The study room is adjacent to the master bedroom. In order to facilitate the office, this wall was supposed to be opened as a partition.But when the design plan was finalized, he accidentally made such a one-way visible glass wall.

He had lived here for a short time before, and the glass wall had been covered with decorative louvers and had never been opened.

This is the first time.

Jonan didn't notice this at all.

He didn't listen to Pei Xu's advice to go to bed early, he was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, the thin quilt was casually draped around his waist, his calves were raised and swayed, and the insteps stretched out into a beautiful arc, so white under the dim light Dazzling.

Pei Xu's gaze lingered over and over again, savoring every inch of him carefully, letting go of this moment of indulgence in self-sacrifice.

After staring at it for a long time, he took out his sketchbook and pen, and drew in the dim light.

He is already familiar with painting Qiao Nan, the lines in his pen are smooth, and he quickly outlines the outline.Pei Xu faced the unsuspecting model behind the glass wall, filling in the details bit by bit.

Black upholstered bed, gray sheets, a slender boy in a white shirt...

Everything is the same as before.

Except for the four chains on the boy's wrists and ankles extending to the end of the bed——

Pei Xu lowered his eyes, and delicately traced the thumb-thick black chain with the tip of the pen, trying his best to draw every detail as realistic as possible, just like this, he could vent out the dark thoughts hidden in his heart.

He put down his pencil, looked at the boy locked in the middle of the bed by four chains, gently stroked his eyebrows with his fingertips, and remembered what Dr. Chen had said to him.

"Everyone will have dark thoughts that cannot be expressed, but they may not have the opportunity and ability to realize it. But you are different. You have both the opportunity and the ability to realize it. If you don't want to hurt him, it is best to keep it with him safe distance."

Best to keep a safe distance from him.

Pei Xu closed his eyes and smiled wryly.

He had made up his mind to stay far enough away, but Qiao Nan would always bump back into his arms.

Really... unsuspecting and unaware of danger.

Pei Xu gently caressed the body of the person in the painting, with his fingertips, he ruthlessly crumpled the drawing paper little by little.

After a long time, he lowered the blinds and turned on the lights.

Carefully flattening the crumpled drawing paper, he walked to the innermost bookcase and took out a thick file booklet sorted by date.

The file was spread out on the desktop, Pei Xu flipped to the blank page at the back, and carefully clipped the newly added portrait into it.

After closing the booklet and shutting it in the cabinet, Pei Xu put on his glasses, and his expression returned to the gentleness of the past.

It's like putting the beast in my heart into a cage.

He pushed open the door of the next bedroom, and lay down next to Qiao Nan who was covered with a blanket and pretended to be asleep: "Don't play with your phone anymore, sleep well."

"You can know that too..." Qiao Nan, who failed to pretend to sleep, muttered and got out of the quilt, and put the phone on the bedside table.

Pei Xu rubbed his head, smiled softly and said, "Go to sleep, good night."
