ACBNHTS Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Official Pairing

Sheng Yiguang: “Why is it 30,000?”

Pei Du’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile, looking lazy and infuriating.

“Ten thousand for each session, I think it’s very reasonable. If you think it’s expensive, you can go to jail.”

Going to jail was out of the question.

A criminal record would be left for administrative detention.

“Thirty thousand, fine.”

Pei Du took out his phone and held out the WeChat QR code.

“Add me as a friend. I’ll come to you if I have any more problems.”

What problems?

Did Pei Du think his private life was chaotic and dirty?

Was he afraid that he had a disease?

Sheng Yiguang lowered his eyes, silently scanned the code, added him as a friend, and transferred the money.

They shook hands in front of the police officers.

Symbolizing reconciliation.

The wording in the mediation record was very professional.

Forced indecency.

Sheng Yiguang’s gaze lingered on those words for a moment, then he signed his name, noticing at the same time that the contact information Pei Du left was still the old number.

When Sheng Yiguang walked out of the police station, Pei Du was on the phone at the door.

He didn’t know who was on the other end, but he was smiling deeply.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t stop walking and brushed past him.

“Sheng Yiguang.”

Pei Du called him.

Sheng Yiguang stopped and turned around.

“Did you enjoy it? Last night.”

Sheng Yiguang’s eyes slowly widened.

“You enjoyed it, right? You didn’t even say thank you.”

Pei Du had a sneer on his lips as he walked past Sheng Yiguang, bumping into him as he passed.

Quite hard.

Sheng Yiguang covered his bumped shoulder, watching Pei Du get into the car.

The car shot out like an arrow and quickly disappeared from sight.

He stood there for a long time, his eyes gradually reddening.

After a long while, his phone rang.

Sheng Yiguang glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered.

“Sheng Yiguang, Brother, Tongtong fell, it’s not serious, but he’s clamoring for you. We’re at the hospital now, would you mind coming over?”

Sheng Yiguang quickly drove to the hospital.

Tongtong’s teacher, Zhou Zibai, was waiting for him with Tongtong in the corridor.

Sheng Tong was Sheng Yiguang’s younger half-brother.

When Sheng Yiguang was about ten years old, his parents’ relationship broke down, and they divorced and formed their own families. Neither of them wanted him, so he lived with his grandparents.

Two years ago, his mother left the child with a congenital heart defect, who she had with who knows which husband, at Sheng Yiguang’s doorstep.

When abandoning him, to prevent Tongtong from finding his way back, she took the child around in circles.

Sheng Yiguang had no way to send the child back, and he couldn’t bear it, so he changed the child’s surname and raised him, saving money for his surgery.

Because he was weak, five-year-old Tongtong looked like a three-year-old child. He also started school late and had a hard time integrating into the group.

For this reason, Sheng Yiguang signed Sheng Tong up for the school’s two-day, one-night camping stargazing activity.

Sheng Yiguang saw that Sheng Tong only had a bandage wrapped around his forearm and was not injured anywhere else, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zibai’s voice was full of apology.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t take good care of him. I gave him a full-body checkup, focusing on his heart. The results should be out in a while, let’s sit down and wait.”

Sheng Yiguang responded. As soon as he sat down, Sheng Tong crawled into his arms, a well-behaved and ingratiating posture.

“Sheng Yiguang, it’s my fault for being greedy this time. I apologize to you, I’m sorry, don’t blame Teacher Zhou.”

“Okay, I know, I won’t blame Teacher Zhou.”

Before long, Sheng Tong’s test results came out.

Everything was fine.

The doctor looked at the heart examination report and reminded Sheng Yiguang to perform surgery on Sheng Tong as soon as possible. The older he got, the higher the risk of surgery.

Coming out of the hospital, Zhou Zibai offered to take Sheng Yiguang and Sheng Tong home.

It was cold, and Sheng Yiguang didn’t refuse.

The car drove into the neighborhood and stopped downstairs.

Sheng Yiguang thanked Zhou Zibai and got out of the car, carrying the sleepy Sheng Tong.

Zhou Zibai followed.

“Brother Tongtong… Mr. Sheng, I’m very sorry about this matter. I don’t know if you have time? I’d like to treat you and Tongtong to a meal.”

Sheng Yiguang: “Tongtong said it wasn’t Teacher Zhou’s responsibility, so we don’t blame you.”

“But I feel a little guilty.”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want to agree.

But if he didn’t agree, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave for a while and would have to argue.

Because of last night’s intense experience, he was having a little trouble holding Sheng Tong.

Afraid of being noticed, Sheng Yiguang agreed.

He went upstairs, put Sheng Tong on the bed, covered him with a quilt, took out his phone, and saw that Sun Mo had sent him a lot of messages.

[Why did you leave first last night? Didn’t we say we wouldn’t go home until we were drunk?]

[Are you still awake?]

[Rumor has it that a big company has taken a fancy to our company and plans to acquire it]

[There may be layoffs]

[Jumping off the top floor of the company.jpg]

Sheng Yiguang wasn’t too worried about this.

He was in a core position in the company.

Several of the company’s best-selling products in the first half of the year were designed by him. As long as the boss wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t lay him off at this time.

Sheng Yiguang chatted with Sun Mo for a few words and exited the chat page, seeing Pei Du’s WeChat.

After four years, he was back on his list.

Quiet, but with a strong presence.

Impossible to ignore.

Pei Du used to use all kinds of matching couple avatars with him.

Now Pei Du’s avatar was black, with an irregularly shaped light in the middle.

Sheng Yiguang clicked to take a closer look, and recognized that it was a lighted window obscured by the shadows of trees. He clicked into Pei Du’s Moments and saw a line—

“Friends only display the last three days of Moments”

Sheng Yiguang returned to the chat page, clicked on transfer, entered the amount, and clicked transfer, a password entry interface popped up.

Instead of the reminder “You are not the recipient’s friend, you can only initiate a transfer after the other party adds you as a friend.”

Pei Du hadn’t deleted him.

“Sheng Yiguang, who are you looking at?”

Tongtong woke up and leaned over to look at Sheng Yiguang’s phone screen.

There was no chat content, only a 30,000 transfer.

Sheng Tong instantly sobered up, “Sheng Yiguang, did you get scammed?”

“…No, it’s someone I know.”

“Oh, is that why you were late?”

“Yes.”

Sheng Tong lay down again, his little brain running fast, “Is it that person? The one in your phone album.”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t answer.

The air was a little stiff.

The child didn’t notice and said to himself, “Otherwise, who could be more important than me~ Did he come back to find you? Will you reconcile?”

Sheng Tong didn’t know much about Pei Du.

He only knew that Sheng Yiguang had someone he liked, so he hadn’t gotten married yet.

Sheng Yiguang: “No, he won’t be with me.”

“Why? You’re so good.”

Because no one would truly, from a distance, secretly, hideously, and silently love for four years, after being abandoned, and wait for four years.

Too infatuated, too stupid, too humble.

Not only that.

There was also a most important reason…

“Because he has an official pairing.”

“Official pairing?” Sheng Tong didn’t understand.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t explain it to him.

Sheng Yiguang also learned about Pei Du having an official pairing four years ago.

Four years ago, Sheng Yiguang saw the barrage.

After those barrages appeared, Sheng Yiguang realized that this world was just a novel, and he, Sheng Yiguang, was just a passerby in Pei Du’s life, a white moonlight that provided two hundred chapters of angst.

And Pei Du’s official pairing was called Wen Heng.
