Chapter 32: The 32nd day of restraint, the two of them felt a tacit understanding...

Shan Yin specifically asked Zhong Yuan to recommend a few currently popular romance novels. She flipped through them and found that, as expected, they all contained plots where the hero and heroine went to the other's city to surprise the other.

Zhong Yuancheng did not deceive Pei Yunhe, so it was normal for Pei Yunhe to have such expectations.

So Shan Yin selected a few outstanding scenes and looked at them carefully one by one. The reason why a surprise is a surprise is that the other party cannot know it in advance.

In order to appear next to the other person seamlessly, or even to get on the bed in a hotel, the first thing is to comfort the other person quietly and not let the other person notice.

Shan Yin carefully compared Pei Yunhe's work schedule and learned that he had to attend a government signing dinner tonight, which he had to attend in the afternoon. It would be a little late when he returned to the hotel after the dinner, but he still had to get off work and rest.

So Shan Yin spent the whole morning chatting with Pei Yunhe. In order to avoid being exposed, she booked a flight to Beicheng in the afternoon. Even when Pei Yunhe called her on video at noon, she was still sitting in the dining room at home.

Pei Yunhe was neither in the company nor in the hotel. It seemed that his schedule was very full and he even drove around in the car during meals.

Shan Yin was not good at lying, so he lowered his eyes and stared at the food in the bowl, responding to Pei Yunhe's questions in a disjointed manner.

"Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so listless?"

Pei Yunhe glanced at Shan Yin and saw that she was dressed casually and her hair was not combed. She did not look as refined as usual, and her hair seemed too loose. He thought she was feeling unwell.

Shan Yin immediately shook his head upon hearing this. "No, I'm not feeling unwell. I'm probably tired from eating."

"Is that so..." Pei Yunhe was skeptical, and then suddenly responded: "It's okay if you're sleepy. If you're sleepy, go take a nap. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

Shan Yin felt that Pei Yunhe's words were nonsensical.

She is not sick, so whatever she calls is fine.

However, in order to avoid Pei Yunhe noticing anything, Shan Yin did not say much.

She nodded, thinking that Pei Yunhe was busy alone, and felt that others also needed more rest.

Pei Yunhe seemed to be really exhausted from working non-stop.

Shan Yin thought he would continue to video chat with her for a long time, but she didn't expect that after only a few minutes of talking, Pei Yunhe looked at the time, urged the driver again, and said that he had something else to do and asked her to hang up first.

It was better to hang up, so she sent Pei Yunhe another message saying that she was going to take a nap so that she could have more time to pack and catch the flight.

After getting on the special car to the airport, she used the time to study those novels on her mobile phone.

The novel says that in order to give someone a surprise, in addition to calmly comforting them, you also need the cooperation of people close to them to provide cover.

Shan Yin thought of Zhong Yuan again. After much hesitation, he sent a message to Zhong Yuan, revealing his thoughts to him and asking him not to let Pei Yunhe know in advance.

She trusted Zhong Yuan's character, and this matter was ultimately to please Pei Yunhe, so there was no reason for Zhong Yuan not to cooperate with her.

But for a long time, until Shan Yin boarded the plane, Zhong Yuan still didn't reply to her.

Fortunately, Pei Yunhe didn't contact her again. Apart from a few scattered messages asking if she had woken up and if she was feeling unwell, everything became quiet afterwards.

Shan Yin thought that maybe Pei Yunhe was already in the reception meeting, and Zhong Yuan was probably accompanying him, so neither of them could look at their phones.

I can only contact Zhong Yuan after landing, it should still be in time.

Shan Yin turned his phone to flight mode, leaned against the window at the blue sky and white clouds, and immersed himself in the plots of the novels again.

The flight from Nanqiao to Beicheng took more than two hours. As soon as the plane landed, the blue sky and white clouds outside the window had turned orange and red, and the sun was setting.

But the rainstorm came quickly and suddenly. Just as I walked onto the jet bridge, heavy rain fell. The huge airport was instantly covered with a layer of rain mist. Large drops of water fell from the jet bridge glass, and my ears were filled with crackling sounds of rain.

Shan Yin didn't bring much luggage, just a few sets of clothes. She dragged the suitcase with one hand and stood there in a daze for a long time.

It’s raining so heavily, I wonder if Pei Yunhe brought an umbrella.

When she realized what was happening, she found this groundless worry a little funny.

Pei Yunhe must have been picked up by a driver when he traveled, and he was most likely still in a meeting, so he should go directly to the dinner party soon.

Thinking of this, Shan Yin swiped the screen of her mobile phone with her other hand. She turned off the flight mode and was about to see if Zhong Yuan had replied to her when Pei Yunhe's video came in immediately.

Shan Yin's heart tightened. Hanging up directly would have made it too obvious. She quickly turned sideways and moved the phone closer, trying to make sure the camera only captured herself.

"Single chant?"

After the video was connected, Pei Yunhe glanced over sideways, but he was still sitting upright. Shan Yin could tell that he was probably driving.

"Are you driving?"

Under what circumstances would Pei Yunhe be required to be the driver himself?

"Yeah." Pei Yunhe responded ambiguously and did not answer Dan Yin's words. He just stepped on the brakes and looked at the screen and the front from time to time.

"Waiting for the red light." Pei Yunhe said nothing more, but looked at Shan Yin and frowned, "Are you awake? Outside?"

Shan Yin was startled, then he pulled the phone closer and said calmly, "Yes, I woke up and felt a little hungry, so I went out to eat."

"Why are you dressing up so formally just for a meal?" Pei Yunhe was puzzled. "Besides, don't you usually dislike going out to eat? You always order in or just grab a quick bite."

He leaned over to look behind Shan Yin, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "In the restaurant? It doesn't look like it."

"I, I'm at the mall. I haven't arrived yet." Shan Yin hesitated, glancing back a few times with a guilty look on his face. "I don't usually like eating out, but today I thought you weren't home, and I didn't want to eat alone, so I came out."

She was a little incoherent and she was really not good at lying, but for some reason, Pei Yunhe, who was always cunning and shrewd, did not see through her abnormality for a while.

"Then go back. Don't eat out alone today. I'll make it for you... I'll order food for you."

Pei Yunhe put one hand on the steering wheel and touched the bridge of his nose with the other, his eyes flashing as he looked at the traffic light ahead.

A little bit of light was reflected in his eyes, and together with the gorgeous sunset outside, it made him look a little mysterious.

Shan Yin suddenly discovered that it was not raining outside Pei Yunhe's car window. Unlike here, the sky was clear.

She blurted out: "Isn't it raining where you are?"

"Is it raining in Yilanzhou?"

Pei Yunhe seemed surprised as well. He subconsciously replied to her, but then realized he had said something off the track and quickly changed the subject: "How did you know it was raining in North City?"

Shan Yin almost gave himself away, lowering his head and saying, "I checked the weather forecast."

"Oh." Pei Yunhe also lowered his eyes.

Both of them looked like they were weighed down by something. If they continued talking, Shan Yin was afraid that Pei Yunhe would find out something. She responded casually, promised Pei Yunhe that she would return to Yilanzhou immediately, and then hung up the phone.

On Pei Yunhe's side, the light was green, and he was anxious to go back. He was thinking about whether he should ask Dan Yin's location again and go to pick him up directly.

At this time, Zhong Yuan called.

"You said Shan Yin went to North City?!"

It was rare for Pei Yunhe to speak to his subordinates in such a high voice. Zhong Yuan on the other end of the phone was sweating and told his boss everything about Shan Yin's plan.

"It's an evening flight, so it should have just landed..." Zhong Yuan trembled, "I just saw the message from my wife right after landing. She probably thought you and I were still together in North City..."

It's really killing me.

When Shan Yin sent a message to Zhong Yuan in the afternoon, Zhong Yuan had already boarded the plane. Due to work arrangements, he did not accompany Pei Yunhe, but led other people to other cities to coordinate work.

Pei Yunhe also wanted to give Shan Yin a surprise. He learned the night before that the leader of the government department had other temporary arrangements, so the signing ceremony was moved to the morning and the dinner was canceled. Pei Yunhe was so happy that he hurried to finish all his work and booked an afternoon flight back to Nanqiao.

The two people had the same idea in mind, but they didn't communicate with each other and even boarded the plane at the same time, which caused such a big mistake. In the end, one was in Nanqiao and the other in Beicheng.

But Zhong Yuan didn't dare to laugh, because it wasn't even written like that in the novel.

He asked Pei Yunhe cautiously, "Mr. Pei, shall I book a flight for you to Beicheng tomorrow?"

"Today, tonight, the sooner the better."

Pei Yunhe was angry with himself.

He figured out the whole story and wanted to get angry, but when he thought about how Shan Yin had finally figured out how to go to North City to surprise him, he felt so sweet in his heart that he couldn't get angry.

But he couldn't help being angry. The two of them had ended up like this by accident, and they almost couldn't see each other. He felt a little tight in his chest.

Pei Yunhe stepped on the brakes firmly and parked the car on the side of the road. The hazard lights turned on, just like his heartbeat, pounding loudly and shining brightly.

He video-called Shan Yin again. At this time, Shan Yin had already boarded the special car and was heading to the hotel where Pei Yunhe was originally staying in North City.

The north city was shrouded in rain and fog, visibility was low, and the driver turned on the wipers to the highest gear, which was like pouring water to wash the car.

Shan Yin had nowhere to hide with her phone in hand, and Pei Yunhe didn't ask her to hide anymore. He said bluntly, "You went to North City."

Shan Yin really didn't know which link had gone wrong, but Pei Yunhe had already found out about it, and she couldn't hide it any longer. Her eyes wandered and she felt a little embarrassed. "I just thought, if you're busy, I can come and see you..."

"Shan Yin, no matter how busy I am, I should be the one to come to you."

Suddenly, a sentence fell into her heart. Dan Yin raised her eyes and met Pei Yunhe's sparkling eyes.

Even though they were separated by a screen and thousands of miles, the emotions in those eyes surged, like waves crashing towards her, and like the rain and fog outside the window, seeping into her heart.

It was not difficult for her to see what Pei Yunhe meant. He said that he wanted her to express more, but every time, wasn't it him who took the first step?

It seemed that in his opinion, he was supposed to chase her and hold her in his arms.

The mountain scenery between Dan Yin's eyebrows softened, turning into the misty rain of the south of the Yangtze River, and floated to Pei Yunhe's side.

She said, “But sometimes, I can come to you.”

"But I've already arrived in Nanqiao."

“…”
