Chapter 246 Xue Pei: Greenhouse Effect (1)
"I rubbed the electric current lightly, I will not only be friends with you after tonight."
The STAR bar played Cantonese songs. When singing this sentence, Pei Qingji, who had just returned to China, unexpectedly caught a familiar figure.
A "boom" suddenly sounded in his ears, and a thick wall standing on his heart fell down, exploding the dust that covered the sky, blurring his reason.
Xue Shufan sat in front of the round bar, holding a glass of cocktail, talking and laughing with the girl in black dress and green shirt beside her.
Pei Qingji stood at the entrance of the stairs, quietly raising his eyes, and quietly looked at Xue Shufan as he used to.
Jeans and sweaters are very gentle outfits, but they have a different style when they are placed on her, clean and neat, and heroic.
Although he has not met for so many years, due to his social circle, he has learned about her dynamics intentionally or unintentionally every once in a while.
I thought that after Grandma Xue passed away, no one in the world felt sorry for her anymore.
In the future, she had to walk through the Feng Dao and Frost Sword alone, but it was obvious that she had a new friend. The girl opposite has a close relationship with her.
The loved ones who died and broke up with her boyfriend who had been in love for ten years. Xue Shufan is not a girl who has broken off her love and she can't let go easily.
But fortunately.
Without family affection and love, she still has friendship.
Pei Qing looked at the bar silently, Xue Shufan said a few words to Lian Li, then picked up his cell phone and answered on the other side.
"Mr. Pei, Young Master Zhong is in the box above." The boss behind the bar hunched and reminded Pei Qingji to go up the stairs.
"Wait later." Pei Qingji stepped forward and walked towards Xue Shufan who was calling in the quiet area.
"Xue Shufan." He stretched out his hand to her gentlemanly and greeted her warmly, "Long time no see."
So, after many years, their former love, as former friends, rekindled.
What burns is friendship.
She only has friendship to him.
Whether it is the past or the present.

Xue Shufan has been very exploratory since he was a child and is keen on conquering and stimulating things.
One day, she climbed alone to the highest point of the camphor tree, overlooking the garden below through the lush leaves.
After having enough fun, I climbed down as usual.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened. The branches could not bear her weight and broke, and the young Xue Shufan suddenly fell from the air.
"Ah!"
Before the Xue family went downhill, they had close contacts with the Pei family. On this day, Pei Qingji accompanied his mother to Xue's family to visit his elders. As soon as he walked into the garden, he suddenly heard the girl's shouting.
Pei Qingji looked up in the voice and saw a little girl wearing a denim suspender hit him.
Like a crisp apple.
Although Pei Qingji was two and a half years older than Xue Shufan, both of them were children at that time. He had no extra energy to catch her and was directly knocked down.
Xue Shufan got up from Pei Qingji and broke her knee, but not only did she not shed tears, but she was very excited.
"Yeah!"
Pei Qingji's back head hit the ground, with a slight concussion, and the pain was so painful that he could not see clearly, but he still stood firm and patted Xue Shufan's dust off the shoulder, caring about this very adventurous girl.
"Is it okay?"
"I'm fine." Xue Shufan proudly raised his chin, "I can climb higher."
Pei Qingji looked at the camphor tree and then looked at the girl in cool clothes, seeing through her identity at first glance.
Xue Shufan, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, likes stimulation and adventure, and has particularly developed limbs.
Even though she knew who she was, Pei Qingji still asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Xue Shufan." She said, "You know me, no one in this family should not know me." "I know." Pei Qingji introduced, "My name is Pei Qingji."
"Not everyone can be my friend." Xue Shufan copied his father's words, "Are you worthy?"
Tell each other about their names, usually to make friends.
Pei Qingji chuckled: "No one is more suitable than me."
"Shu Fan, today is the first day we met." He raised his wrist and looked at the time, "We will meet again in the future."
Xue Shufan didn't care at that time, until Pei Qingji fell into the water. She jumped into the water with her little body and dragged him ashore with all her strength.
The two gradually became familiar with each other and became friends. And as the contact is frequent, the relationship becomes closer and closer, and he is the other party’s best friend.
Therefore, the first person Xue Shufan told him about his relationship was Pei Qingji.
She never thought that he would object.
They had a big fight and their friendship was in danger. A few days later, the Xue family made a mistake and fell into several classes. Pei Qingji went abroad and slowly broke off contact with Xue Shufan.
Due to human activities and global climate change, the tropical rainforests in South America are disappearing at a rate of 4.8 miles per minute.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
At first, Pei Qingji thought that their years of relationship, like a tropical rainforest, was disappearing at a speed of 4.8 miles per minute, and there would always be a day when they would all disappear.
Over the years, he has tried to contact other girls. Whether it is the other party taking the initiative to show goodwill or the elders' introduction, he has normal communication.
But after meeting a few times, Pei Qingji found that instead of wasting time doing meaningless things, it was better to attend the shareholders' meeting.
Zhong Yang and the others often joked that he was a workaholic and did not wrong him at all.
Before returning to Beijing, Pei Qingji thought the tropical rainforest had disappeared.
But the moment he saw Xue Shufan with his own eyes, he understood that he overestimated himself and underestimated her.
As the successor of China-Thailand Bank, Pei Qingji has shaped the stability of his mature and skilled people through various hardships such as the group's turmoil.
He no longer interferes in Xue Shufan's private life as he used to.
Either be friends or strangers.
He chose the former.
When Pei Qingji learned that Xue Shufan was on a blind date and was about to find someone to get married, his calm mind was like a clear mirror, caught off guard by a sharp stone and broken into glass pieces of different sizes.
Those painful and dull ones, like blood vessels, were winding and twisting, and they refused to let go of his past, and suddenly jumped back to his mind.
Pei Qingji snatched out the cigarette butt in dismay, his lips tightened, and his eyes were dim and difficult to tell under the dim light.
Only the mirror clearly reflected his red eyes.
Sure enough, he still couldn't be friends with her.
He wants to marry her.
Whether she likes him or not.
-
The gentle afternoon sun shone in a corner of the cafe. Xue Shufan lowered his eyes and his hand wearing a Van Clerk Arpels diamond watch flipped through the gift agreement placed in front of him.
Not a prenuptial agreement, very pure gift of assets.
"What are your concerns?" Pei Qingji sat opposite her and asked.
Xue Shufan looked up at him. The latter had a beautiful young man who was as beautiful as jade and had been consistent for ten years. He was restrained and gentle to everyone.
"Don't you think we are getting married very strange?" Xue Shufan thought for a long time, but still felt strange. "Good friends cannot get married."
"I don't think it."
Pei Qingji looked gentle and asked softly, "Which law stipulates that friends cannot get married?"
