Dressed As a Paranoid Beauty’s Rival

Early the next morning, Ning Shan texted Yun Qiao,

[Ning Shan: Yun Qiao? I've already arrived at the store, the boss said it's better for you to come early]

[Ning Shan: Because he said that although the event is at night, all the guests need to dress up to have an atmosphere]

At that time, Yun Qiao struggled to open her eyes. She stayed up all night last night, and now she is almost dazed. She lifted her blindfold. After hearing the news reminder, she reached for her mobile phone from the bed and saw what Ning Shan sent. Reply quickly.

[Yun Qiao: How long is the afternoon? ]

[Ning Shan: How about around three o’clock? I have already told Zhou Yangziyi and the others. ]

[Yun Qiao: Okay, no problem. ]

I don't know why, after staying up all night and not sleeping for a long time, Yun Qiao only felt that her head was heavy, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Yun Qiao didn't sleep anymore, she slowly got up from the bed, wearing a loose white t-shirt, gray plaid cotton trousers, a messy chestnut head, and two huge dark circles under her eyes, she just crawled out of the bed at first sight come out.

After washing in the toilet, Yun Qiao took a glass of water and went downstairs to have breakfast while drinking.

Unsurprisingly, Pei Yu was also having breakfast.

"Brother", Yun Qiao put the water glass on the dining table and greeted Pei Yu first.

Aunt Qin saw that Yun Qiao was coming, and quickly brought Yun Qiao's breakfast, when Pei Yu was about to finish it.

Yun Qiao picked up the water and took another sip. She had no strength and lay on the table, looking sideways at Pei Yu eating quietly alone. The bright sun shone on his face, rubbing the bottom of his fair muscles. A layer of glaze light, his eyelashes are slender and beautiful in the sunlight.

Admiring enough, Yun Qiao got up from the table,

"I can't accompany you to dinner tonight."

Yun Qiao told Pei Yu this fact,

"The party needs to be dressed up, go a little early."

"Oh." Pei Yu held the delicate knuckles of the knife and fork, and without any extra words, just told Yun Qiao, "I see."

Yun Qiao supported her chin with her hands, her long sleeves were folded in the palms of her hands, and a small and delicate collarbone was exposed under the wide white t. She turned sideways in the direction of Pei Yu, and couldn't help asking Pei Yu,

"Are you really not going?"

Pei Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Qiao, there was a hint of anger in his black and white eyes,

"I said that-"

"I dont go."

"Good good!"

Yun Qiao immediately retracted her leaning body, clutching the spoon in her knuckles, constantly stirring in her yogurt, Yun Qiao slapped her.

Why don't you go if you don't go, why are you so fierce?

Pei Yu went upstairs after dinner, and Aunt Wen followed.

She looked at Pei Yu and hesitated,

"Master"

She called Pei Yu,

"Today is your birthday, Mr. is on a business trip, and the young master is not here either."

Hearing Aunt Wen's words, Pei Yu turned over the two pages of the book in his hand with his fair fingertips, and only stated the facts plainly.

"I haven't had it before, and I haven't used it this year."

"How can it be the same."

There is a young master this year, so we should celebrate together no matter what.

"It's nothing different."

Pei Yu sat at the desk and looked at the scenery in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was extremely quiet.

"If the young master knew about your birthday today, he would never go out to party with friends."

Aunt Wen couldn't help muttering, Pei Yu stopped turning the book, and the pages stopped at page 132. He didn't agree with Aunt Wen's statement very much,

"You're not her, how can you know what she thinks."

"Master." Aunt Wen couldn't help but persuade.

"Don't say it, don't tell her."

He doesn't need that concern.

After eating, Yun Qiao went back to her room to do her weekend homework. She wanted to finish it this morning, and she could read the competition questions Zhou Jiarui sent her tomorrow. She had never touched it for so long.

Although very sleepy, Yun Qiao also needs to cheer up.

Raising his hand and writing down the plan for the day on the calendar in front of the desk, Yun Qiao stared at the study tasks that were not completed yesterday and drew an X. Yesterday was the 23rd, Frostfall.

After a while, the nib shifted, returned to No. 24, and wrote down, 1. Finish the homework, 2. Memorize fifty words, 3. Review physics, 4. Get the completion degree at the party, 5. .

Once the time was arranged, Yun Qiao started.

Soon, Yun Qiao finished her homework, but it was also time for dinner. When she went downstairs to eat, she found that Pei Yu was about to finish eating again. Yun Qiao pinched her hair, the dark circles under her eyes became more and more obvious, and there was some complaint in her voice.

"Brother, why didn't you wait for me?"

Hearing Yun Qiao's words, Pei Yu stopped eating. He motioned Yun Qiao to look at the clock hanging on the wall with his eyes.

"It's you who missed our meal time."

Yun Qiao looked up, it was true, I was too forgetful to memorize the words just now, and it's almost too soon now.

Yun Qiao is unrelenting, she is cheating,

"Then call me next time you eat."

"You call me and I'll come."

Pei Yu picked up the bowl, and the small bowl looked particularly beautiful under his delicate and slender hands.

"understood."

"Eat quickly."

"Hey, good!"

Yun Qiao and Pei Yu ate together. Pei Yu ate slowly, not much, but finely. After Yun Qiao devoured it, Pei Yu just finished eating.

Yun Qiao went upstairs to change clothes, and Pei Yu also went back to the room to read the book that he didn't finish in the morning.

After a long time, the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually became dim, the sun set little by little, leaving only some red orange glow, which was slowly covered by thick clouds.

Aunt Wen saw that Pei Yu had not gone downstairs to eat, so she went upstairs to call him.

Pei Yu had the same posture as when he came up at noon, and the book in his hand was still the same book.

The sun was gone, and the room returned to its former silence.

"Master."

Aunt Wen moved the pot of Lithops from the bedside table to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"The young master explained that this is succulent and doesn't need a lot of water, but it needs to be full of sunlight. Now that I think about it, I will put it like this, and I will be able to get sunlight every day in the future."

Aunt Wen looked at the plump and juicy Lithops in her hands, covered with a layer of ash, and couldn't help sighing,

"It's been a few days, and it looks like a little bit."

Pei Yu looked at the potted plant with some lack of interest.

"I can't survive here."

"Isn't this a good life?" Aunt Wen disagreed with Pei Yu's words, "Just a little more sunshine."

Pei Yu reached out and closed the open book, pursing his lower lip without leaving a trace,

"Let's go eat first."

"Eh, alright—"

Aunt Wen hurriedly took care of Pei Yu to eat. She looked at what Pei Yu looked like when she was eating.

Yun Qiao, who came to the banquet on the other side, was dressed as a goth boy, with black smoke makeup, vampire dentures, realistic scars painted on his face, chestnut-brown hair blown into beautiful lines, and a small skull and crossbones placed on it. crown.

The blood-red curtain was pulled up at the venue of the party, layer by layer, figures were shaking inside, and the eerie and terrifying atmosphere was filled straight up. When you walked to the curtain, someone might lift the curtain to scare you.

The content of the party is also very rich, with board games, indoor haunted houses and other things that young people like.

Zhou Yang, Zhao Ziyi and others also dressed up as vampires and A Piao respectively, while Ning Shan was wearing a specially treated maid outfit full of bloodstains—as an employee in the store, she wanted to serve the party.

Several people dressed up to get together, and Zhou Yang, whose face was smeared white and put into a huge white bag, was unconvinced when he saw that Yun Qiao was so good-looking.

"Why are you so good-looking, I'm pretending to be a faceless man!"

Ning Shan, half the host, comforted Zhou Yang,

"You look good as a faceless man, how cute is a faceless man!"

"Humph!" Zhou Yang, who was comforted by the beauty, became proud, "It's almost the same!"

Shen Mengmeng, Zhao Ziyi, Fang Baoyan, and the three of them didn't care about this side.

Fang Baoyan first discovered the indoor haunted house, "Come and play with this, this is fun!"

Shen Mengmeng was very disgusted, "I don't play, I'm afraid."

Yun Qiao raised her hand and looked at her watch. The hour hand was almost at seven. She avoided Pei Yu and came out to play with Ning Shan because the system promised completion, but this was the first time meeting with friends since the book was written. , Yun Qiao is quite looking forward to it.

Zhou Yang was also very interested in that haunted house, he called Yun Qiao to go quickly,

Yun Qiao glanced at Ning Shan who was busy delivering drinks to the guests, hesitated in her heart, and told Zhou Yang,

"You go first, I'll play with you after I help Ning Shan deliver drinks."

The faceless man Zhou Yang was not so unscrupulous. Hearing Yun Qiao say this, he immediately expressed that he would help Ning Shan deliver drinks with Yun Qiao.

Before I knew it, time was ticking, and in the villa halfway up the mountain, Aunt Wen knocked on Pei Yu's room and brought over the medicine prescribed by Dr. Huang.

It was cold in Pei Yu's room.

He was sitting at the desk, the wind blew through his book, and he flipped a few pages. The sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window was already dark, and the moon did not show its pointed tip, and the dull momentum was pressing.

Aunt Wen closed the door and put the medicine on Pei Yu's table.

"Master, go to bed after drinking the medicine, it's almost ten o'clock."

Pei Yu put down the book in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the sky outside. Lightning had begun in the distance, and the wind had become violent.

"It's going to rain," his dark eyes were full of calm.

"Yeah." Aunt Wen hurriedly went to close the window, and was a little worried, "Young master hasn't come back yet."

"Hurry up and take your medicine, young master."

"Um-"

Pei Yu lowered his head to stir the medicine in the bowl. It was Chinese medicine, nourishing the spleen and stomach, but it was very bitter. After drinking a bowl at noon, there was a faint medicinal taste in his mouth from afternoon to evening. Pei Yu didn't like the taste very much.

Aunt Wen couldn't help feeling sad when she saw Pei Yu drinking the medicine.

"It's ten o'clock, sir, and I don't even have a phone call. Not to mention that I invite someone to come for a coming-of-age ceremony. Our young master doesn't like it either, but I can't even call my own son's birthday."

"Why did you mention him?"

Pei Yu looked down at the liquid in the bowl, following the stirring of the spoon, the amber light and shadow swayed.

His voice was cool, with no extra emotional ups and downs,

"Since I was still in my mother's womb, he'd already wanted me to die."

"Hey - young master, how can you say that, sir also cares about you."

Aunt Wen was a little anxious, and felt that she had said something wrong just now, and she should not talk about the relationship between the master and the family, but the relationship between father and son has always been bad.

The wind outside the window is getting stronger and stronger, making the door curtains rattle, and the rainstorm is about to come.

"Forget it", Pei Yu felt a little boring, he took the medicine and drank it, "Let's go."

"I'm going to sleep right now."

"it is good."

Aunt Wen didn't dare to disobey Pei Yu, and despite the worry on her chubby face, she had to step back.

Pei Yu was sitting on the bed, and the ticking sound of the alarm clock came into his ears. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the bedside table. It was almost half past ten. There was something missing on the bedside table, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Until the phone rang, Pei Yu turned on the phone and saw that it was Yun Qiao,

"Hey hey hey? Can you hear me?"

The sound of the wind whistling over there, Pei Yu responded softly,

"Um-"

"That's great! Brother, I'll be right back. It's going to rain. I dropped my notebook downstairs to swing on the lawn today. Brother, can you go and find it for me?"

Playing outside so late, Pei Yu frowned.

"I'm already in bed, won't you call a servant?"

"Ah, that won't work." Yun Qiao quickly refused, "Some strange things are written in it, so they can't be seen."

Afraid of being rejected by Pei Yu, Yun Qiao was so panicked that she immediately begged softly,

"Brother, I beg you, just this time."

"Dududu-"

Before Yun Qiao could say anything more, the phone was hung up, and a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

He actually hung up on my phone.

Yun Qiao couldn't do anything in a hurry, and hurriedly called there again, but no one answered.

Just when Yun Qiao thought his plan was going to be declared bankrupt.

A person came down from the dark living room. He was wearing white simple cotton pajamas and a pair of simple home cotton shoes on his feet. He was thin and tall, and his delicate ankles were exposed. He was quiet and deserted.

- It's Pei Yu.

Yun Qiao quickly hid behind the sofa.

Lying under the sofa, watching people walk away, opening the door, and going out with an umbrella, after a while, his cell phone rang.

Yun Qiao was afraid of being discovered, so she quickly cut it off.

In an instant, Pei Yu sent a text message,

[Pei Yu: Where? ]

Yun Qiao quickly returned to him,

[Yun Qiao: I remember wrong, not outside, like in the living room. ]

Yun Qiao quickly took advantage of this time to put the candle on the cake on the coffee table, lit it, and then hid behind the sofa.

The warm yellow candlelight glowed in the dark living room.

When Pei Yu pushed the door and came in, he saw the cake on the coffee table.

The small one is very inconspicuous, but the light on it makes people unable to ignore it in the dark.

Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the small cake covered with candles. Some of the candles had burned to the end, and the wax oil was on the cake.

Yun Qiao jumped out from behind the sofa,

"surprise!"

Yun Qiao, who was behind the sofa, laughed so hard that she could not see her eyes.

Before he could react, Yun Qiao ran over and pulled him out.

The rain fell drop by drop, and the two teenagers were fearless. Pei Yu's cotton slippers were completely wet on the wet lawn, and some rainwater slid down his jaw.

On the night of the rainstorm in early autumn, it was a bit cool, Yun Qiao took his hand, but it was not as warm as this weather.

Pei Yu felt that he would probably remember this day forever, remembering that the boy took him to the rose room.

The glass house is full of bright red roses, and under the dotted starlight, the flowers and shadows overlap, which is beautiful.

But the moment he saw the rose, the unrealistic feeling in Pei Yu's heart shattered. He shook off Yun Qiao's hand and pressed his anger with his tightly pursed lips.

"What the **** do you want to do?"

He hates roses, hates flowers.

This flower reminded him of waking up from suffocation again and again when he was a child, the fragrance of roses lingering on the tip of his nose, and then slowly breathing hard and unable to control himself.

Yun Qiao knew that he would react this way, she took the key to unlock the lock of the flower house and pushed open the door.

"Do not be afraid."

"The rose season is over, and these are not roses."

"Trust me once."

Yun Qiao Yiyi's eyes were all firm, and the dark brown eyes were crystal clear.

She picked up scissors, cut off the branches of a few flowers, gathered them together, wrapped them with newspaper, and handed them to Pei Yu.

"Last time I said I wanted to send you flowers, but the flowers were an accident."

"Look at this."

Pei Yu held his breath, followed Yun Qiao's gaze, and set his eyes on the flower in Yun Qiao's hand. Raindrops the size of soybeans fell, and the petals were soaked wet by the smashing, and they slowly collapsed upright.

It's not flowers, it's paper.

An immortal flower that is folded from one sheet of paper to another.

Pei Yu's heart beat slowly, it was a very strange feeling.

He took the flower from Yun Qiao's hand, his fingers were trembling, his delicate face was calm, but his eyes were uncontrollably red.

Yun Qiao pulled Pei Yu,

"Do you want to come in and have a look? There are more than 300 flowers. I stayed up late last night until three o'clock in the morning before I finished folding them. Then I was afraid that Aunt Qin and the others would find them and sneaked over in the middle of the night to put them on the flower tree."

Pei Yu followed Yun Qiao's lead and entered the flower house step by step. The flowers in the glass house came into his eyes. The overlapping flowers were like flames. The sensory impact was stronger than watching from outside.

Emerald green leaves and bright red flowers are lifelike.

Pei Yu reached out and stroked the fast beating heart,

"Bang bang bang-"

This unbelievable feeling made his teeth tremble when he spoke. He turned his head to look at Yun Qiao. After scanning her lips and nose, he looked directly into her eyes, his dark eyes flashing. Light,

"Why did you give me this?"

Hearing Pei Yu's question, Yun Qiao smiled a little silly.

It was because after she saw what Pei Yu's mother did from the system last time, she felt that Pei Yu's memory of roses was too painful, so she wanted to leave a good impression of roses on Pei Yu instead of that painful period. past.

Living in a place where she often sees roses, she hopes that when Pei Yu sees roses next time, she will not think of the shadows of her youth, but the flowers of an entire flower room on her eighteenth birthday.

But she couldn't tell the truth to Pei Yu, she told Pei Yu with a firm gaze,

"Because I said I would send you flowers."

"You have a house full of flowers, no one can compare to you."
