Lin Xiaojie and Zhang Yutong both calculated the day when Pei Donglai would be released from prison. However, on this day, Lin Xiaojie and Zhang Yutong both missed the opportunity and did not wait for Pei Donglai. After asking, they learned that Pei Donglai had been released from prison a month ago.
After Pei Donglai came out, he didn't contact anyone. Lin Xiaojie called Pei's mother to ask about it. He didn't go home either, but called home once.
For a moment, Pei Donglai seemed to have evaporated without a trace.
When she learned that Pei Donglai was released from prison and was nowhere to be found, Zhang Yutong was heartbroken and wanted to cry without tears. During this period, she had been suffering and exhausted physically and mentally. Pei Donglai was her spiritual support and her only motivation to persevere.
She didn't understand why Pei Donglai didn't come to her after he was released from prison. She thought he must hate her in his heart, so he left silently.
Lin Xiaojie thought that Zhang Yutong secretly hid Pei Donglai, and the two had a big quarrel in Lijiang.
After Pei Donglai was released from prison, he originally wanted to find Zhang Yutong, but when he arrived at the hotel door, he gave up the idea of going in. Then, he took his simple luggage and boarded the train heading north.
After staying in Beijing for a few days, Pei Donglai came to Yanjiao, rented a house, and lived there temporarily.
While serving his sentence, he thought about and talked about many things.
He didn't want to deal with the past anymore and decided to start a new life.
Because he had served a prison sentence, he repeatedly encountered obstacles in finding a job. In the end, Pei Donglai could only find a job delivering food.
At first, it was indeed a bit uncomfortable. I was once a dignified bank president with an annual salary of several million, but now I am just an ordinary rider with a monthly salary of several thousand. It is windy and rainy every day, which is sad.
But Pei Donglai felt at ease and went to bed when he got home from get off work. He slept until dawn without so many worries.
Among my colleagues, there are also former big bosses, but they still don’t have the same down-to-earth work now. What’s so strange about it? A real man is the one who can bend and stretch.
Pei Donglai has not been in contact with Lin Xiaojie and Zhang Yutong for a few months since he came out. He no longer expects anything extravagant about love and just accepts the situation as it comes.
Once, Pei Donglai delivered food to a bank. When he saw the customer, he was shocked. The customer turned out to be Ye Xiaolan, whom he had not seen for a long time.
She was chatting with someone, so she probably didn't see Pei Donglai. Pei Donglai lowered his hat, lowered his head, and handed the takeaway to Ye Xiaolan. Ye Xiaolan took it without noticing Pei Donglai.
Pei Donglai quickly turned around and left. When he reached the door, as soon as he started the donkey, he heard Ye Xiaolan's voice, "Wait a moment, don't leave."
Pei Donglai was a little panicked. After he came out, he didn't want to have anything to do with the past, but he didn't expect that in the huge Beijing, he would meet Ye Xiaolan. This chance was comparable to winning the lottery.
Ye Xiaolan strode over, "Sir, is this key yours?"
Pei Donglai didn't look up at Ye Xiaolan, but just looked at the key. It was indeed the key to his rental house. He accidentally dropped it to the ground just now. After taking it, he was ready to leave.
"Wait a minute," Ye Xiaolan shouted excitedly, and pulled the little donkey with his hand.
"Brother Pei, why is it you?" Ye Xiaolan recognized Pei Donglai and said excitedly.
Pei Donglai had no choice but to look up at Ye Xiaolan and smile naively, "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence? You already knew it was me, why did you pretend not to know me? What's wrong, just because I deleted your WeChat account? You are so stingy. I'm a girl, so you won't give in to me. I'm waiting for you to join me," Ye Xiaolan said and started crying.
Pei Donglai was at a loss as to what to do. He didn't expect the other party to have such a big reaction.
After a while, Ye Xiaolan came to her senses. She wiped away her tears and suddenly became happy, "Brother Pei, why did you come to Beijing and deliver food? Do you want to experience life?"
Pei Donglai shook his head, "I've taken the order, goodbye."
At Ye Xiaolan's insistence, Pei Donglai left his contact information and left.
In the evening, Ye Xiaolan called over, "Brother Pei, where are you? I'll treat you to dinner," Ye Xiaolan said happily.
"I'm back from get off work, let's wait another day," Pei Donglai said calmly.
"Where do you live? I'll come over." Ye Xiaolan chased after her.
"I'm not in Beijing, don't come," Pei Dong said and hung up the phone.
Ye Xiaolan had no intention of letting Pei Donglai go like this. When she saw Pei Donglai coming today, she felt a little strange. Why did he come to deliver takeaways if he was not a good bank manager? Something must have happened, and it wasn't small.
She called one after another. Pei Dong knew he couldn't avoid it, so he answered, "Xiaolan, it's too late today. I'll make an appointment with you in a few days."
A few days later, the two finally met again. Ye Xiaolan made an appointment at a high-end restaurant. Pei Dong came over right after work and said, "We don't have takeout service here. You are in the wrong place." When he entered the restaurant, the waiter looked like he was wearing takeout clothes. Pei Donglai said with a look of disgust.
"I'm here to eat, not deliver takeout," Pei Donglai said politely. Pei Donglai had seen this kind of waiter who looked down on others, so it was not surprising.
The waiter hummed and still looked at Pei Donglai with disgust.
When I came to the private room on the second floor, I saw Ye Xiaolan dressed exquisitely and very beautiful.
"Brother Pei, sit here." Ye Xiaolan enthusiastically greeted Pei Dong, who was all dirty, to sit down. The table in this private room was for eight people, so it was a bit big for two people.
"I'll just sit here." Pei Donglai was too embarrassed to sit over and get close to Ye Xiaolan, but Ye Xiaolan took the initiative to sit over.
"Brother Pei, what happened?"
Pei Donglai smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a change of place to live."
Ye Xiaolan could tell that Pei Donglai didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue to ask questions, and the two started to eat.
During the whole process, Pei Donglai said very little, and Ye Xiaolan did not stir up the topic again, and just ate with him silently.
After dinner, "Xiao Lan, you're driving, I won't take you home. Goodbye." Pei Donglai started his little donkey and was about to rush to the company.
Ye Xiaolan ran over excitedly and said, "Take me for a ride. I haven't ridden a motorcycle yet."
"What's the point of sitting here? It's so cold when the wind blows while riding here."
"Just let me sit down and satisfy my curiosity," Ye Xiaolan said coquettishly.
There was no other way, so Pei Donglai could only take out the box containing the meal, temporarily put it in Ye Xiaolan's car, and take Ye Xiaolan for a ride.
As soon as Ye Xiaolan came up, she hugged Pei Donglai tightly with both hands and leaned on his back. Even though Pei Donglai's clothes were dirty and he was covered in stinky sweat, she didn't dislike him.
Ye Xiaolan's laughter was hearty and she could tell that she was very happy.
After walking around for a while, Pei Donglai took Ye Xiaolan back to the dining place to get the car. For Ye Xiaolan, she was playing and driving, but for Pei Donglai, it was really a waste of time. He had to go back to rest quickly because tomorrow He has to get up very early and start a new day's work.
