Chapter 214
Pei Yuqing turned off her phone screen, and the green bamboo jade beads on her wrist made a soft, crisp clinking sound.
He looked somewhat tired, and bloodshot veins were suddenly visible at the corners of his eyes.
Since that day at the Golden Crane Tower, he has returned to that state of insomnia, and this time the effects of alcohol and drugs have weakened considerably.
Pei Yuqing found himself thinking of that night at the Golden Crane Tower day and night.
Or rather, all he was thinking about was a peaceful sleep.
He needs to find her.
Pei Yuqing stepped directly into the business school gate, intending to go to the classroom her assistant had mentioned, when she caught a glimpse of a glass panel at the gate out of the corner of her eye.
On the bulletin board, a young girl's face was exquisitely beautiful, and her smile and frown exuded the charm of the East.
She had a delicate face and fox-like eyes, yet they were exceptionally captivating.
Pei Yuqing asked himself, having seen many beautiful women over the years, but he found this fox-like beauty particularly memorable.
Perhaps because he had seen too many masks in the business world, Pei Yuqing had a strange feeling when he received Ying Ning's photo.
Her eyes and brows were filled with such deep affection that she seemed to be a spirit formed from the seven emotions and six souls of the world.
Upon closer inspection, her fox-like eyes held a smile and fearlessness, yet lacked a hint of romantic affection.
Would someone like that have feelings?
It's unlikely.
That was the first time Pei Yuqing was curious about You Yingning.
He stared at that face he had only met once, and became somewhat lost in thought, until he inexplicably raised his phone and took a picture of her.
When Pei Yuqing realized what had happened, she found her behavior somewhat amusing.
However, they didn't delete the photo.

"Ring ring ring." The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
Pei Yuqing disregarded the opinions of others and strode into the classroom. He found the person he was looking for with just one glance.
It wasn't that he had particularly good eyesight, but rather that Pei Yuqing happened to have witnessed the other person's ten-minute speech on the stage.
Unexpectedly, she was also an excellent student in both character and academics.
Pei Yuqing nodded, his gaze lingering on the neck of that emerald figure. Her fair skin, hidden beneath the bamboo's green hue, possessed a delicate and elegant beauty.
The man's eyes seemed to slant slightly at the corners.
The green shadows swayed in the wind. The girl seemed to be about to get up when she sensed the man's shadow blocking her way, so she politely said, "Excuse me, classmate."
Pei Yuqing refused to yield and continued to act as a roadblock, going her own way.
"classmate..."
When she saw her own face, she was visibly startled, and her expression immediately showed surprise:
"It's you?"
"Yes, it's me." Pei Yuqing was in a fairly good mood when she saw that she recognized him.
"What...what are you doing here?" The girl opposite him seemed to look him up and down before asking warily.
"The reason I'm here is obvious."
Pei Yuqing took a light step closer to Yingning, and seeing that the other girl had taken a step back in fright, he felt a mischievous urge to play with her for some reason:
"Of course, I've come to find you."
"Excuse me, I don't think we know each other." Ying Ning was about to walk past Pei Yuqing when the man's large hand firmly grabbed her arm.
Pei Yuqing was extremely handsome, and his features also showed a hint of integrity and uprightness.
But his personality was quite the opposite.
He appears to have a refined and elegant personality, but is actually quite eccentric.
Pei Yuqing was dressed in a dark blue satin shirt today, which made his skin look extremely fair, but his expression revealed a hint of the troublesome nature of a rich young master.
"I recognize you."
Pei Yuqing leaned close to Ying Ning's ear, not lowering his voice at all, but rather as if deliberately speaking to those around them:
"Don't you remember that night at the Golden Crane Tower?"
His words had a hidden meaning, which drew sighs from those around him.
It was the time for get out of class to end, and Pei Yuqing's appearance was quite eye-catching, naturally attracting the attention of some students who had not yet left.
The surrounding gazes kept shifting between the two, and some people even started whispering among themselves.
Pei Yuqing, on the other hand, was quite open and unabashed, accepting the gazes of others with a smiling expression that suggested everyone was just passing through.
"I still remember that night at the Golden Crane Tower...it was truly unforgettable."
Pei Yuqing intended to scare her, so he deliberately used an ambiguous tone, which inevitably aroused some speculation.
Several students who were nearby heard Pei Yuqing's words clearly.
Some of her classmates even gave Yingning a look, as if to ask her if she needed help.
After all, Pei Yuqing didn't seem to have any good intentions.
Pei Yuqing found it extremely amusing and did not let go of Yingning. He then shifted his gaze to those captivating fox eyes, not expecting that the other party was also looking at him.
"oh."
"I remember..."
"Has anyone fainted from fright?"
"I do remember that."
Yingning's words left Pei Yuqing speechless, but he didn't expect her to say something like that:
"after all..."
"Children who cry a lot are always memorable."
A moment later, the handsome man chuckled, and the playful look in his eyes vanished instantly.
"They really don't let it go."
"Speak, what is it?" Yingning tried to break free from Pei Yuqing's grasp, but failed several times.
Pei Yuqing's fingers tightened, his gaze gradually settling on Ying Ning's alabaster-white chin. He involuntarily savored the smooth texture beneath his palm, and slowly uttered a sentence:
"I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."
"Business?"
"A business that involves sleeping, are you in or out?"
