Chapter 2135: Money and Love

Can I say it to your face?

When Shi Li heard what Pei Su said, her fingertips on the phone screen trembled slightly.

Then took a deep breath.

Shi Li: You’re here?

Pei Su: I'm outside the door.

When the door was opened, a tall man wearing slightly bulky clothes was standing outside with his head slightly lowered.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and smiled at Shi Li.

"Happy New Year."

Shi Li had mixed feelings in her heart. Seeing his red hands holding the phone without gloves, she finally stepped aside and said, "Happy New Year, come in first."

When Pei Su came in, Shi Li followed behind him, and suddenly felt a little regretful, suspecting that Pei Su had just staged a self-torture trick.

But she couldn't just chase him out, so she had to politely pour a cup of hot tea and bring it to Pei Su.

"I didn't mean to do that. I was texting you outside just now and it was inconvenient to wear gloves."

Pei Su picked up the teacup and saw Shi Li looking at his hands. He put the teacup down and touched his red knuckles.

"It's New Year's Day, why are you here?" Shi Li didn't continue the topic, but took a cup of tea and sat opposite.

There was heating and a fireplace in the room. Pei Su took a sip of tea and completely recovered from the cold.

"My work in the lab is temporarily finished, and everyone is on vacation."

Pei Su spoke slowly, as if he was choosing his words carefully, "I still want to apologize to you again. If you are willing now, I also want to tell you something about myself. I'm sorry."

Shi Li couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard his voice, feeling a little bitter and wronged. She had been sincere to Pei Su, but everything he said was fake.

"You talk, I'm listening." In order to hide her emotions, Shi Li lowered her head while holding the teacup.

Less than two meters away, Pei Su's first thought was to come over and hug her.

According to his logic, after having such an idea, he must first infer its rationality and feasibility in his mind, but what Zhou Wei and others said appeared in his head.

He did not think too much as usual, but followed his heart, stood up and walked over, reaching out to hug Shi Li.

This action was a bit abrupt. Shi Li was stunned for a moment, but her body did not reject it.

Pei Su only hugged her for a while, then let go and retreated to a chair two meters away.

"I lack empathy and have never thought about problems from other people's perspectives."

He analyzed himself, "I concealed my identity and hurt you. I also let you down. I'm sorry."

After sincerely admitting his mistake, Pei Su continued to tell more about himself.

He was not a child conceived naturally by an ordinary family, but a child conceived by two people who were passionate about science using test tube technology for biological research.

As expected by both of them, after birth, the child had an extremely high IQ, but was always lacking in emotional aspects.

The two of them raised him in the laboratory almost until he was old enough to go to school, and then they both died in an accident.

Later, Pei Su entered an orphanage. He was different from other children. Even at the age of seven, he could do many scientific experiments and simple inventions, and the money he earned was enough to support himself.

So he lived well in the orphanage, with abundant material resources, and was recognized as a genius by everyone. But everyone also neglected to teach him other things, such as morality and emotions.

Fortunately, Pei Su was able to learn from books about what virtues a person should possess, so he never thought of doing anything harmful. He knew that he had to integrate into society.

But he didn't understand what true emotions were, and he felt that he didn't need them.

When he grew up and could take control of his own life, Pei Su stayed in the laboratory 24 hours a day and had neither the environment nor the time to understand so-called feelings.

But experiments always encounter bottlenecks.

In the familiar environment, his brain was not stimulated and soothed, so he walked out of the laboratory and wanted to experience a different life.

What follows is role-playing of various identities. Each time, living a different life for a few days or more than ten years can stimulate his brain cells, and then allow him to return to the laboratory to continue completing the experiment.

This was my life until I met Shi Li.

I was attracted unconsciously, and then moved closer, like a moth attracted to the light, wanting to get closer for no reason.

From beginning to end, Pei Su never thought that his role-playing was a deception to others. He never considered other people.

"I have learned a lot during this time, and I know you are sad."

Pei Su narrated his experiences and past in a very calm manner, without deliberately exaggerating his misery, and he did not think that his life was particularly miserable before. He was serious as if he was discussing a serious subject.

Shi Li's mood fluctuated with his words.

To be fair, after hearing about Pei Su's life experience, it is impossible for her heart not to be touched, but it is just touched. She is not a saint, she likes Pei Su but she does not want to save him.

Shi Li raised her head and looked at Pei Su's calm face, frowned, and tried to speak in simple and direct words: "I am really sad. I have always been sincere to you and have always thought about you. But the you who I loved was fake, and my sincerity was wasted."

"I'm sorry." Pei Su apologized again, learning not to think carefully, but to say whatever came to his mind, "I'm sorry, I didn't think that my deceiving you would make you feel sad."

At this point, Shi Li looked at him and didn't know what to say.

Pei Su didn't even deliberately deceive her, but in his cognition, he didn't think it was wrong. Even Shi Li didn't know whether Pei Su really realized that he was wrong or felt that he should apologize.

So confusing.

She realized that Pei Su was different from her and everyone else.

"I saw a book a few days ago that said 'a broken mirror is hard to mend', and I felt very scared."

Pei Su unconsciously put his hands together and tapped his fingertips lightly on the back of his hands. This small movement revealed his mood.

He was indeed afraid.

She was afraid that no matter how much he changed, Shi Li would not be willing to treat him the same way as before, and she was afraid that the two of them would never be able to reconcile.
