Ling Zhixuan was in extreme pain, wanting to move away, but he didn’t dare to either. Even if his entire body was trembling from the pain, he had no choice but to endure it.
Huo Shidu laughed softly as his pale-colored orbs shined with coldness. He said carelessly, “I don’t want the young lady to fear me yet. Scram.”
…
In another private room.
Pei Yunge couldn’t help but suspect the authenticity of this bar as she stared at the fruits and milk placed on the table. Moments later, she walked towards the door.
“Where’s your Master Du?”
In her mind, Pei Yunge was planning to leave after returning the money she owed him previously.
“Master Du should still be settling some things,” the bodyguard said respectfully, “Miss, please wait a little longer.”
“What’s there to settle in a bar?” Pei Yunge raised an eyebrow.
Yet the bodyguard simply glanced at Pei Yunge, wanting to say something before he stopped himself. In the end, he merely said, “Miss, is there anything else you want to eat? I can go and get it for you.”
“There’s no need. I’ll just wait a little longer then.”
The moment Pei Yunge was done speaking, she saw Huo Shidu walking over from not too far away.
“Older Brother, the things that you gave me before…”
Before Pei Yunge could finish speaking, Huo Shidu had interrupted her.
“Young lady, Older Brother will give you a suggestion.”
After digesting his words, Pei Yunge asked, “What suggestion?”
Huo Shidu’s lips curled up slightly as he threw away the cigarette in his hand. “Leave with me.”
…
It was a rainy night.
Pei Yunge sat in the car and narrowed her pretty eyes slightly. Somehow, she fell into her thoughts almost unconsciously. There seemed to be something strange with this.
She was indeed glad to leave with him.
Then she wouldn’t have to face that annoying family anymore.
However, this man didn’t seem like he liked trouble.
“I will just stay with you for a few days while I wait for the dormitory application to be approved. I won’t give you any trouble.” After a second, she added, “I can pay you rent according to the market rate.”
The handsome and dignified man narrowed his eyes as he wore a half-smirk. “Do you think Older Brother’s house is a hotel?”
“…No.”
Caught unexpectedly, Pei Yunge had yet to think of what else to say when she heard his words.
“How long has it been since you slept?”
When Huo Shidu stared at her red eyes from staying up all night, the first thought in his mind was that it was similar to the eyes of a rabbit.
“I can’t remember.” Pei Yunge was used to it as well.
In her previous life, she often had insomnia and dreamed often. The doctor said that the capacity of her brain was too large and it was relatively easier to harm her health. If she continued that way, she wouldn’t be able to live long.
However, Pei Yunge felt that living till her forties or fifties was enough for her.
“We’re caught in some traffic, so you should sleep for a while in the car first.”
Hearing his words, Pei Yunge hummed casually in response, not believing that she would be able to fall asleep. However, before she could close her eyes, she heard the man’s pleasant low voice.
“Come over, Yunyun.”
It was probably the first time Pei Yunge heard someone address her like that, and her mind blanked out for a moment.
However, the man wasn’t in a hurry either. He merely smirked his thin, red lips as he patted his long legs that looked extremely straight and strong in his black suit pants.
“Older Brother will let you rest on me.”
Pei Yunge’s eyelid twitched and she laughed.
“That’s not too appropriate…”
“What’s not appropriate about it? It’s fine as long as you don’t take advantage of Older Brother.” the man said with a smirk as the corners of his pale-colored eyes curled up.
“…”
Seeing that Huo Shidu was staring straight at her, Pei Yunge lost whatever mental burden she had and scooted over, placing her head on top of the man’s muscular thigh.
However, even though Pei Yunge had planned to merely pretend to sleep, when she smelt the faint and pleasant, cooling scent on Huo Shidu, sleepiness seemed to hold onto her for the first time.
Somehow, her pretty, but red eyes slowly closed as well.
Seeing her start to drift off, a hard-to-detect glint of humor flashed in the man’s eyes. He suddenly remembered something and took out his phone, then sent a message to someone.
[I’ve found her. I’ll bring her back first.]
Once the message was sent, Huo Shidu threw his phone to the side casually.
