Despite saying that, Hu Shi was still quite worried.

He was worried that Pei Zhi wouldn't be able to go back.

He was also worried that Xie Cinian would think that he had persuaded Pei Zhi to return to China with him.

Then Xie Ci Nian caused him trouble, and had someone kill him in the middle of the night, etc.

It wasn't until he and Pei Zhi got off the plane and landed in China that they finally understood.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Hu Shih finally relaxed.

"Where are you going now? Do you want me to help you arrange a meeting with Lu Mingxu?"

Pei Zhi glanced at the time on her phone. "No need, I have something to do, I have to go now."

"no…"

Hu Shi looked at Pei Zhi expectantly, "You came back for Lu Mingxu, didn't you? Where are you going?"

Pei Zhi simply said, "Let him wait in line first."

Hu Shi was so angry at Pei Zhi that he laughed. He was really confused. Lu Mingxu wasn't the only one in the country.

Pei Zhi didn't pay much attention to news from China while she was abroad.

It wasn't until two days ago that Pei Zhi accidentally opened her email and saw that Chi Xiuwen's agent had sent her an email.

The email stated that Chi Xiuwen was not doing well and hoped she could come and visit.

In fact, Chi Xiuwen had unilaterally blocked all of Pei Zhi's contact methods.

Pei Zhi thought that her relationship with Chi Xiuwen was over.

Chi Hsiu-wen's reputation has been severely affected by the cheating scandal.

But the entertainment industry is generally more tolerant of men.

Moreover, it's someone like Chi Hsiu-wen, who has acting skills, awards, and good looks.

Just when netizens thought that Chi Xiuwen would not respond.

Chi Xiuwen posted a Weibo message announcing his indefinite withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

These events all occurred after Pei Zhi went abroad.

Pei Zhi only decided to return after seeing Chi Xiuwen's agent say that Chi Xiuwen was leaving the entertainment industry.

Pei Zhi thought she still felt guilty.

Chi Xiuwen is an illegitimate son of a wealthy family and has had a difficult life since childhood.

After growing up, she finally found the performing arts career that she loves.

As a result, it all ended this way because of her.

Pei Zhi returned to China because she was worried that Chi Xiuwen might do something foolish.

Pei Zhi was genuinely afraid that if something really happened to Chi Xiuwen, she would never be able to complete her mission.

After receiving Pei Zhi, Chi Xiuwen's agent didn't have time to complain.

“After he posted that Weibo post, he hasn’t left the house. We’re the ones who usually come over, but he doesn’t want to talk to us.”

The agent brought Pei Zhi to Chi Xiuwen's house. It was Pei Zhi's first time visiting Chi Xiuwen's house.

The agent skillfully entered the password and opened the door.

"You go in, I won't go in."

The agent guessed that Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen must have a lot to talk about, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be there.

After thinking it over, the agent still gave the instructions.

"Chi Xiuwen's journey has been quite pitiful. Unlike Lu Mingxu, he had no one to help him and had to make his way up step by step on his own."

Pei Zhi listened, her expression becoming somewhat uneasy.

"I'm not saying this to blame you, I just hope you can talk to him properly and stop hurting him."

After giving his instructions, the agent closed the door behind him.

Chi Xiuwen's house was decorated in a surprisingly warm style, whereas Pei Zhi had expected it to be decorated in various cool colors.

Pei Zhi looked around while searching for Chi Xiuwen's figure.

She pondered what she should say to Chi Xiuwen as her first words to avoid awkwardness.

What if Chi Xiuwen sees her and then gets emotional and drives her away?

Will she stay put or turn around and leave?

The door suddenly opened, and Chi Xiuwen appeared, dressed in gray loungewear and holding a water glass.

Pei Zhi froze on the spot, her bright eyes meeting Chi Xiuwen's.

They didn't give Pei Zhi any time to prepare.

The two stared at each other for a moment before Chi Xiuwen made the first move.

He seemed not to see Pei Zhi at all, took his water glass to the water bar, filled it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, Chi Xiuwen continued to look at Pei Zhi.

Chi Xiuwen blinked, then slapped his forehead.

Chi Xiuwen murmured, "The hallucinations are getting worse. The medicine the doctor prescribed doesn't seem to be working."

Pei Zhi was initially confused by Chi Xiuwen.

After listening to Chi Xiuwen's words, Pei Zhi realized that Chi Xiuwen was treating her as an illusion.

But this also means that during the time she was away, Chi Xiuwen must have seen "her" many times.

For a moment, Pei Zhi was unable to describe her feelings.

At that very moment, her heart felt like it was being squeezed, and she felt a pang of sadness.

She hadn't expected Chi Xiuwen to do this.

She thought that Chi Xiuwen would be angry for a while.

Then, Chi Xiuwen will begin his new life.

The reality is that Chi Hsiu-wen had to give up his beloved acting career because of her, and even fell ill.

Pei Zhi initially approached Chi Xiuwen because of his appearance.

If she had known she would cause such serious consequences for Chi Xiuwen, she would never have laid a hand on him.

Pei Zhi secretly warned herself that this was just a small world, and she couldn't let too much emotion get into the people in it.

This would hinder her from completing the task, and it's best to avoid getting emotional involved in work.

Pei Zhi spoke first: "How come you've lost so much weight in just a few days?"

Chi Xiuwen's hand, which was gripping the water glass, tightened instantly.

He stared straight at Pei Zhi, unable to believe it.

Pei Zhi stepped forward and reached out to hug Chi Xiuwen.
