With that) Pei Jingzhou quickly thought for a few seconds and added, “I can carry you on my back.”

Li You said) “Why don’t you hold my hand?”

“Sure.” Pei Jingzhou reached out to her.

Li You reached out her hand. Pei Jingzhou held her hand and led her forward. She followed listlessly and muttered, “I’m going to sleep.”

Pei Jingzhou said as he walked, “You were still very energetic just now and ran very fast. I almost couldn’t catch up to you.”

Li You said in a muffled voice, “I woke up early today.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Then go in and sleep for a while.”

Li You’s eyelids drooped and she did not say anything. After taking a few steps, she let go of Pei Jingzhou’s hand and squatted down to say that she would not leave.

Pei Jingzhou had been relatively introverted since he was young. He was not very proactive, was not enthusiastic, and did not have much patience. Usually, he would only occasionally take care of his two-year-old sister, Pei Jiao, at home. He did not talk much to his peers. He was quiet and hated trouble the most.

But this time, he patiently coaxed Li You and brought her in. In the end, Li You slept in his arms. He hugged her and continued to listen to his uncle and Uncle Li’s speech.

Until the end of the speech.

Those students did not leave the venue. Instead, they swarmed forward to ask for Li Huaisheng and Han Pin’s autographs. In addition to the idols in the entertainment industry who were sought after by fans, the idols in the academic world were respected by many.

Li Huaisheng had been thinking about his daughter. After hurriedly signing some, he handed the place to Han Pin. When he returned and saw his daughter sleeping peacefully in the arms of the Pei family’s eldest son, he was relieved.

Pei Jingzhou greeted politely, “Uncle Li.”

Li Huaisheng smiled elegantly. “Thank you for taking care of Little You.”

At this moment, Li You slowly woke up in Pei Jingzhou’s arms. She looked at Li Huaisheng, then at the person holding her, and then reached out her hands to Li Huaisheng. Li Huaisheng took Li You back into his arms and thanked Pei Jingzhou again before preparing to leave.

Pei Jingzhou stood up and shouted, “Uncle Li.”

Li Huaisheng turned around and looked at Pei Jingzhou. “Yes?”

Pei Jingzhou asked, “What’s her name?

He’d taken the initiative to ask the name of a little girl because he thought she could be his friend. He didn’t want to see her only once. He wanted to see this friend many times. So he wanted to know her name in anticipation of their next meeting.

Li Huaisheng was about to answer when Li You introduced herself. “My name is Li Xingwu. Do you remember?”

In the dead of night.

Only Pei Jingzhou spoke unhurriedly.

After hearing Pei Jingzhou talk about the first time they met when they were young, Li Xiwu sighed with emotion at Pei Jingzhou’s memories. To be able to remember the matter of being seven so clearly, she was curious. “Why Li Xingwu?

This was not the same name as Li Xiwu, right?

Pei Jingzhou said, “I only knew why after that.”

Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “Huh?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Uncle Li said that because you like Friday very much, you will be on holiday on Friday and don’t have to go to kindergarten, so you gave yourself the name Li Xingwu.”

Li Xiwu:

Pei Jingzhou looked at Li Xiwu’s speechless expression and said with a lazy smile, “Li Xingwu, I’ve remembered this name for a long time. It was only when we met again a year later that I realized your name is Li You.”

Li Xiwu frowned. “So, I, Li Xiwu, got my name from this?”

If one did not see the spelling of Li Xingwu or Li Xiwu at first glance, the homonym was indeed very similar. Therefore, four years ago, Pei Jingzhou changed her name, Li Xingwu to Li Xiwu.

Pei Jingzhou asked her, “Can you accept this fact?”

“Uh…” Li Xiwu pursed her lips. At first, she didn’t know how to respond to this. Then she realized and began to be a rogue. “How do I know if you’re telling the truth?”

Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. “Are you suspecting that I made it up to lie to

Li Xiwu cleared her throat. “Maybe.”

Pei Jingzhou let go of her waist and turned his back to Li Xiwu. “If you don’t believe me, pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”

Li Xiwu:

Li Xiwu, who had always been self-disciplined, suddenly found out one day that she had loved to put on airs since she was young. The difference was too great, and Li Xiwu could not recover for a moment.

Li Xingwu, just because she liked Friday?

Okay, think about it another way. She was five years old then. What did a five-year-old know? She only knew how to play all day and even knew Pei Jingzhou.

She took her phone and looked at the time. It was three-thirty. If she didn’t sleep, she would probably be listless when recording the show tomorrow. She put down her phone and tucked in the blanket. She lay down to sleep with her back facing Pei Jingzhou.

After being satisfied to know what she wanted to know, sleepiness came to the fore. As soon as her head touched the pillow for a moment, her eyelids began to droop. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a subtle movement behind her. Pei Jingzhou turned around and pulled her into his arms from behind.

The next day.

9:12 A.M.

Li Xiwu, who slept late, indeed could not get up in the morning. Pei Jingzhou had even turned off her alarm clock, so she slept until past nine. She opened her eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. She noticed that the sky was already bright.

The next second, she suddenly sat up! She took the phone and looked at the time. It was nine- fifteen. The broadcast was at ten today. She had overslept.

There was no sign of Pei Jingzhou in the room. Li Xiwu thought that he had already went to the company. She scratched her head and thought to herself that it was a good thing that Pei Jingzhou did not bring her back to Lake Lu last night. If she woke up at this time and set off from Lake Lu to North Water Town, it would be too late to record the show.

Although it didn’t matter if she was a little late, she wanted to record the last episode as well as possible. She got out of bed and went to wash up. After a few minutes, she came out and was about to go out when she saw Pei Jingzhou sitting at the end of the bed waiting for her.

Li Xiwu was surprised. “Fourth Brother, you didn’t leave?

Pei Jingzhou slowly stood up. “I had a cigarette outside just now.”

Li Xiwu smelled faintly of tobacco. She raised a hand to her hair. “Then I’ll leave now.”

“Honey,” Pei Jingzhou called out helplessly.

Li Xiwu turned. “Yes?”

Pei Jingzhou walked over and said, “I’ve been waiting for more than two hours. Are you sure you’re going to leave me alone?

Li Xiwu smiled and asked, “Then why don’t we go together?”

Pei Jingzhou took her hand and put it in his coat pocket. “Let’s go.”

Li Xiwu followed at a brisk pace. When she came out of the hotel, the car to pick Pei Jingzhou up was already waiting there. After getting into the car, Chen Xin handed Li Xiwu the breakfast Pei Jingzhou had ordered. “Madam, this is the breakfast Mr. Pei ordered.”

Li Xiwu took the breakfast, both in two paper bags. She could smell the fragrance before she opened them. She took it and said, “Call me what you used to. I’m not used to it.”

Chen Xin could not make a decision, so he looked at Pei Jingzhou.

This was Pei Jingzhou’s call. In any case, Li Xiwu was already slowly recovering her memories, so he asked Chen Xin to change the way he addressed her. In the future, he would call her Mrs. Li Xiwu.

Li Xiwu looked at Chen Xin’s troubled expression and smiled helplessly. “I’ll slowly adapt.”

Chen Xin looked delighted. “Okay, Madam.”

Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and reminded Li Xiwu, “Mrs. Pei, eat your breakfast.”

Li Xiwu smiled. “Got it.”

After arriving at the hotel where the show was recorded, Li Xiwu finished her breakfast. She folded the bag and was about to throw it away when Pei Jingzhou took it. “There’s no trash can nearby. Let’s go in first.”

Li Xiwu agreed and pushed open the car door to get out. At this moment, she was suddenly attracted by a few luxury cars driving past, so she looked in that direction.

Four luxury cars stopped outside the hotel.

The people in the luxury cars had yet to get out. Li Xiwu could not see them and could only guess who was going out.. Such a big scene!
