Chapter 390 Doing Bad Things Anonymously (Pei Yan)
The day after the main tournament in Hong Kong ended, Xiao Yuan was waiting in the lobby on the first floor. They would be taking a car to the airport together later.

It was nine o'clock, and everyone was present except for Pei Yan.

Fortunately, Qiu Ze was traveling with the convoy, and as a die-hard fan, he would definitely know where they were going.

"Xiaoze, where's your brother?" Xiaoyuan called her aside and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, I must have overslept. Shall I go upstairs and check?"

Just as she was about to walk towards the elevator, Chen Hong, who had overheard their conversation, stopped her.

"No need." He pointed outside. "They've already left."

"gone?!"

This time, Xiaoyuan could no longer suppress her anger.

Unruly, absolutely unruly!

We need to do a debriefing when we get back, why did you act alone!

He angrily pulled out his phone, ready to confront Pei Yan, but the call couldn't be connected.

Seeing this, Chen Hong continued speaking the words he hadn't finished saying earlier.

"He should still be on the plane right now, on the earliest flight, directly to Langdu."

"Langdu?" Xiaoyuan was familiar with this place name because Shen Zhaoyi had mentioned it to her before he left. "So, he went to see Sister Shen?"

"Ah."

"I don't know what went wrong last night. After shouting and yelling, I started packing my bags and took a taxi overnight."

Mentioning this matter, Chen Hong still felt speechless, as if he had just been startled awake.

Qiu Ze pieced together the information and felt that something was strange.

He hadn't forgotten that Brother Pei liked his sister-in-law, so why was he in such a hurry to meet her?
Unable to figure it out, she wasn't foolish enough to ask Qiu Yu directly. Instead, she sent Pei Yan a message—

Brother, where did you go?

On one hand, it's a rhetorical question; on the other hand, it's someone burning with anxiety.

They still had to transfer to Langdu. They had received the detailed address from Shen Zhaoyi last night; it was near the airport. But right now, Pei Yan wished the journey would slow down a bit.

I'm acting impulsively, especially in the middle of the night, and all I can think about right now is how to start the conversation when we meet.

Is it a bit too much to rush across half the globe just for an answer?

Having finally convinced himself to accept the existence of the others, Pei Yan still felt that he couldn't lower his stance too much.

Time flies when you're struggling with something; by the time you come to your senses, you've already arrived at the hotel.

After registering at the front desk, follow the signs upstairs.

Langdu is in a different time zone than China; it's only a little past nine in the morning.

I drank quite a bit last night, but I'll be back to my best after a good night's sleep. The yacht that Shen Zhaoyi ordered will be delivered today. Lu Qing will come over to meet her after she's finished packing so we can check the goods together.

As soon as I came out of the room, I saw someone standing outside the door next door.

Judging from their appearance, they were definitely compatriots.

"Hey, handsome, what are you doing!" Lu Qing whistled at him.

Pei Yan turned his head to look, but didn't recognize him, so he ignored him and continued to stand there hesitating.

Just as he was about to mentally prepare himself, the woman who had been ignored earlier suddenly came up to him and asked, "Are you looking for Shen Zhaoyi?"

There was still no answer. Surely he couldn't be mute?
After observing for a moment, Lu Qing, wanting to do more good deeds, reached out and knocked on the door for him.

The sudden action startled Pei Yan.

"what are you doing!"

"Oh, so you can talk." Lu Qing found it quite strange. "I was just thinking of helping you out, no need to thank me~"

Having committed her evil deeds anonymously, she heard footsteps coming from inside and quickly fled the scene.

Having been tricked, Pei Yan stood awkwardly in place, unsure whether to leave or stay, because the door had been opened and Shen Zhaoyi was standing right in front of him.

"You came pretty fast, let's go inside." Although her brain was in a daze last night, it didn't prevent her from reviewing the events after waking up. As soon as she saw the call log on her phone, Shen Zhaoyi had already retrieved her memories.

She guessed this person would come, but she didn't expect that only one night had passed before he had already come to kill her.

Shen Zhaoyi's calm attitude eased Pei Yan's tension considerably.

As I followed them into the house, my hand unconsciously gripped the shoulder strap of my backpack.

however……

Have you had breakfast yet?

"No."

"The competition just ended yesterday. Did you come here to let Xiaoyuan know?"

"No."

Shen Zhaoyi was tinkering with her hair when she heard this noncommittal answer, and she felt a little disappointed.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"No...! Ah, no, there is!" Pei Yan was a little out of sorts and almost got dragged into a ditch, but fortunately he reacted quickly and came back in time.

He couldn't help but despise himself. He had relied on that unknown answer to get through these past few days, so why was he being so sentimental at the last minute?

Standing behind Shen Zhaoyi, I could see clearly in the mirror that there was a distance between us, just like the unresolved relationship between us.

This made Pei Yan make up his mind.

I lifted my foot, took a step forward, bent down, and looked straight ahead. In the mirror, two figures were pressed together.

Shen Zhaoyi looked up at his actions but did not say anything to stop him.

This tacit approval gave Pei Yan tremendous encouragement.

The same question came up again, and this time he preemptively voiced his opinion.

"I think your initial assumption is incorrect."

"What assumption?" Shen Zhaoyi didn't quite understand what he meant.

Pei Yan walked around to face him, half-squatting down as he reminded him, "You tell me, without money, none of this excitement would exist."

"Is not it?"

"No."

An assumption is an assumption because it is something that will never happen.

Without money, they wouldn't have met in the live stream in the first place, and of course, none of what followed would have happened.

Money is merely a medium for getting to know someone, not a necessity for developing feelings.

Shen Zhaoyi didn't expect that his mind would be so sharp in this matter. The last sentence he said made a lot of sense, but it was also very contradictory.

With both sides holding their own opinions, the situation suddenly reached a stalemate.

Pei Yan couldn't care less about anything else; he had to make his feelings clear today. Looking at that face so close to his, he finally mustered up the courage to kiss him.

Their lips met, but nothing more was done.

However, it successfully blocked all of Shen Zhaoyi's next words.

"Is it still a contradiction?" Pei Yan stepped back slightly, her ears turning bright red, but she tried her best to keep her voice from being affected.

He cupped Shen Zhaoyi's cheeks in his hands and continued to utter his clumsy sweet nothings.

"Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, and whatever the reason for our initial meeting, all I know is that I only want to do this for you."

"From the first moment we met at the police station, my mind was filled with nothing but racing and you."

Even before she knew about the other men, she had already thought about competing with Qiu Yu.

Of course, knowing about those people's existence now doesn't stop him from continuing his plan to fight for them.

However, he kept these words to himself and didn't dare to say them out loud.
