Chapter 221
The clock ticked away, and the rain outside the window continued to fall.
Pei Yuqing reviewed the three proposals from the computer department regarding the organization of the first Fairnd eSports Competition, and finally finalized one, which was then sent to Assistant Zhang.
He glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen and realized it was already 3 a.m.
Pei Yuqing got up and walked to the bedside. Looking at that slightly pale face, she was merciless in her words:
"You're sleeping soundly."
"I wonder who should be sleeping."
He unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt, revealing the jade pendant around his neck; the green jade ornament adorned his chest.
Beneath his clothes, the V-line of his abdominal muscles was hidden deep in his waist.
Pei Yuqing lay on the small bed beside him, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He turned to the side with his arm and continued to scrutinize the face of the person on the bed. As if possessed, he used his finger to trace the curve of the beauty's face in the air.
He couldn't sleep, so he used this as a form of amusement.
It glided over her eyebrows, the bridge of her nose, and lingered for a moment on her delicate lips.
Pei Yuqing suddenly recalled the details of their meeting and found it amusing, even feeling that it was somewhat of a preordained destiny.
From their first meeting at the Golden Crane Tower to now sharing a pillow together.
Her appearance was like an unexpected event in his life.
I always manage to keep myself from realizing what's going to happen next.
Even now, lying next to her, his body unexpectedly began to relax.
Pei Yuqing picked up a few strands of hair with charred ends, and a sense of relaxation appeared between her deep brows and eyes, as if her presence could temporarily make one forget past troubles and nightmares.
"Hmm..."
"It's so hot." The person on the bed seemed to still be struggling with the dream of the fire.
Pei Yuqing was about to get up to check if she was alright when he was enveloped by a figure in the next second, and his whole body froze.
The accompanying bed was not much shorter than the hospital bed, and the doctor, concerned about the patient's emotional instability after the fire, also administered a small amount of sedative medication.
But Pei Yuqing didn't care about calling a doctor anymore.
His palm happened to touch the soft waist inside the hospital gown, and the smooth touch of his fingertips made Pei Yuqing's mind go almost blank, and all he could see were beautiful colors.
The tip of her nose was almost touching the tip of her own nose.
The subtle fragrance between her lips and teeth made Pei Yuqing's mind wander. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already completely grasped her slender waist.
With her other hand, she pressed down on the back of the other person's delicate neck, forcefully making the other person kiss her.
Once you touch it, you'll linger and never want to leave.
Pei Yuqing was like a child who had never tasted candy before. One day, he received a gift from heaven and curiously licked it. The tingling sensation in his nerve endings made him crave it.
A hospital ward on a rainy night.
The man's eyes gradually turned greedy as the kiss began.
Only after his kiss elicited a choked sob from her did Pei Yuqing, panting heavily, slightly loosen his grip on the back of her neck.
Pei Yuqing lowered his head and licked that delicate chin.
He carefully placed the other person back on the bed, and inadvertently noticed a patch of crimson blood around the other person's waist when the hospital gown slipped down.
It was the mark he made.
Pei Yuqing froze, as if something soft had gently tickled the end of his spine, and all the nerves in his body began to stir, clamoring for a way out.
After a long while, he barely managed to suppress the inappropriate thoughts that were swirling within him.
Pei Yuqing reached out and pulled down that piece of clothing.

In the cramped and oppressive space under the car, large beads of sweat slid down Yuan Ye's face. He grabbed a towel and wiped his face, while the male voice from the open space continued its relentless nagging:
"Hello."
"I've been waiting here for two hours, why hasn't it been fixed yet?"
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused me? It's tens of thousands of dollars worth of business!"
"I was saying, you're not a rip-off here, are you? I was just talking about how it was fixed last time, how come it's broken again..." The portly man stood by the car, venting his dissatisfaction. The repair shop owner immediately bowed and apologized profusely.
After calming the customer down, the repair shop owner walked to the repair area and squatted down.
"Wilderness, how much longer?"
"Almost done, just a little bit more." Yuan Ye tightened the screws with his tools, checked the machine again to see if the problem had been fixed, and then came out from under the car.
The air in the auto repair shop always seems to be mixed with the smell of engine oil.
After finishing her workday, Yuan Ye changed her clothes and prepared to leave. Just as she stepped out of the store, she ran into Qiao Jiao, who had been waiting for her at the store entrance for a long time.
"Brother, I've been waiting for you for so long."
"Come on, I don't have class tomorrow, I'll treat you to barbecue." Qiao Jiao didn't mind the stains on Yuan Ye's body at all, instead hooking his arm around the other's neck and handing him a bottle of water.
"I've heard that you made it into Fairy-One. You might become a star player in the future. I need to get on good terms with you now."
Qiao Jiao was very excited. He had seen Yuan Ye's account ID on the list of entrants online early in the morning and immediately contacted Yuan Ye.
However, for some reason, Ye Ge never replied to his messages.
Today, Qiao Jiao simply blocked the entrance to the auto repair shop.
But after he had been speaking for a while, the tall man beside him remained silent.
"Brother, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"I probably... won't participate in the competition." Yuan Ye turned on the water bottle, tilted his head back and drank several large gulps of water before continuing:
"The money in my account is very important to me."
Qiao Jiao was taken aback, but still wanted to advise him:
"But if you participate in the competition, you can earn even more..."
"Qiao Jiao, have you ever thought about what would happen if I couldn't make a name for myself? I wouldn't have the courage to gamble so much money."
“For me, the best plan is to take advantage of the hype surrounding the first Fairy-One event and sell the account for a high price,” Yuan Ye said.
"elder brother."
"Thank you for lending me the holographic capsule. I will transfer the money for the holographic capsule to you once I receive it."
After Qiao Jiao upgraded his holographic capsule, he gave the old one to Yuan Ye. Unexpectedly, Yuan Ye still remembered this.
Qiao Jiao knew that Yuan Ye had his own plans, and couldn't offer any more advice, so he simply asked:
"Do your teammates know about this?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Qiao Jiao turned around and saw the empty mineral water bottle drawing a perfect arc.
Thump.
It landed right in the trash can.
Qiao Jiao looked towards the starting point of the parabola, where the wilderness was backed by the setting sun. In a daze, it seemed as if his back was being relentlessly crushed by the harsh sunlight.
His dark eyes were dull and lifeless.

Suzhou private hospital, VIP ward.
After a nurse came out of the ward, she overheard several people gossiping nearby:
"As expected, a combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is pleasing to the eye."
"Who's in the VIP room?"
"I don't know, it was specially arranged by the dean. But let's just do our jobs well, why bother with so much?"
"But that couple is really happy. The guy has been staying with them every night for the past two days."
"As expected, love always belongs to other people..."
I overheard some gossip from the VIP nurses and couldn't help but mentally retort:
love...?
She felt the atmosphere in the hospital room was rather tense...
......
The quiet environment of the ward was disrupted by a bizarre scene.
He should have been sitting with his legs crossed, but for some reason, he insisted on sitting on the hospital bed and poking at the IV drip bottle next to the bed.
Until a helpless voice appeared:
"Pei Yuqing, could you please stop touching my IV drip?"
Pei Yuqing was quiet for a moment, then walked to the other side, took a fruit fork, and stabbed a piece of apple into it, handing it to the person on the sickbed.
Unexpectedly, instead of expressing gratitude, the other party accepted the apple quite naturally. Pei Yuqing watched as Ying Ning took a bite of the apple.
It was as if he was supposed to serve her.
"I wonder who's the client now," Pei Yuqing muttered to herself.
"President Pei, is your company not busy?" Ying Ning, lying on the hospital bed, did not tie her hair up. Her eyebrows were slightly curved, and when she bit into an apple, there was a little moisture on the corner of her mouth, which gave her a somewhat unrestrained beauty.
"Patients need rest."
Upon hearing Ying Ning's question, Pei Yuqing didn't sense any intention to drive her away. Instead, he leisurely sat on the luxurious sofa in the ward and said without any hesitation:
"busy."
"I'm very busy."
"So, in order to ensure my sleep quality."
Pei Yuqing raised his eyes, his gaze seemingly different from a few days ago, and said directly:
"I plan to [do something] while you are in the hospital."
"Let's rest together in the ward."
