CHAPTER 15: CHAPTER 15: PEI YAN IS HERE

Qin Yun’s eyebrows slightly raised, why did he come?

Despite her confusion, she wiped her hair twice and put on a coat before heading out.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she ran into her agent, Sister Li, coming up.

Sister Li looked her up and down and asked, "Where are you going? I was just about to come to your room to find you."

"Downstairs," Qin Yun said plainly.

The agent did not pay much attention, looked at her, and directly explained her purpose, "I got you on this reality show to help Qin Hao. You’re trending right now, so the show will give you more screen time. You need to give him some lines and more exposure, got it? I won’t say much about today, but remember to interact with him more during filming. You’re in the same company, you should look out for each other! Understand?"

Qin Yun just looked at her calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Sister Li felt a bit intimidated by her gaze. Since when did her eyes become so imposing?

But after a few seconds, the agent steadied herself. Qin Yun was just a small figure she could easily manipulate, so what if her gaze was strong?

Could she really stir up any trouble?

Thinking of this, her eyes unintentionally fell on Qin Yun’s face. This face was indeed well-made. Although she had refused President Zhang’s suggestion a few days ago, making a good connection was still possible. Just having a meal together wouldn’t betray her original intentions.

Thinking of the promise President Zhang made, as long as she kept an eye on things, there shouldn’t be any problem.

This way, just from one meal, she could gain benefits and Qin Yun could climb higher. A win-win situation.

Convincing herself, Sister Li’s smile deepened a bit and she said, "When we get back, join me for a dinner meeting with President Zhang, let him take better care of you in the future."

"Not going."

Qin Yun had no interest in these things, lazily yawning, thinking Pei Yan could bring her some food later, as she was hungry and didn’t want to move in the middle of the night.

Thinking about this, she started heading downstairs.

"This is not for you to refuse. After this episode is done filming, I’ll pick you up," Sister Li commanded coldly when she saw Qin Yun just bypass her and leave, her face immediately turning cold.

The response she got was the echo of coldness and Qin Yun’s disappearing figure around the corner.

When she reached downstairs, the living room was empty; everyone seemed to have gone upstairs to rest. She directly went out of the cabin, looking around.

Under a tree in the distance, a tall figure appeared.

"Why aren’t you lying in the hospital? What are you doing here?" Qin Yun quickly walked over, looking at Pei Yan with his mask and hat on. Under his hat, the white bandage could vaguely be seen, she asked in confusion.

Came here in the middle of the night, wrapped up like this, if one didn’t know any better, they’d think he was here to steal something.

"You promised, twenty-four hugs a day," Pei Yan looked down at her, stating what she had agreed upon.

Qin Yun: "..."

He’s not staying in the hospital and has come all this way just for a hug?

Doesn’t this guy’s brain seriously have any issues?

"It’s been over twenty-four hours since the last hug," he frowned, saying once again.

In fact, Pei Yan hadn’t been paying attention. It was Little C who reminded him that evening, telling him the remaining time was running out. With no other choice, he quietly left the hospital to find her.

He wasn’t too willing to come, but if he didn’t, he’d revert to a vegetative state once again.

From the scattered words Little C had mentioned earlier, it was clear the Heavenly Emperor’s intention was very apparent. If the tribulation failed, he would just keep repeating these events and wouldn’t return to the Heavenly Court due to being a vegetative. Over time, one could not return.

Thus, he could only complete the tasks as issued by Little C to return to the Heaven early.

"Oh." Qin Yun’s face was indifferent.

She just knew when Pei Yan, the jerk, came to her, it wasn’t for anything good.

Pei Yan saw she seemed reluctant and hesitated for two seconds before asking, "What do you want?"

"Can I?" Qin Yun immediately lit up as she looked at him, her voice filled with undisguised joy.

Pei Yan was silent for two seconds, "Alright."

"I want food. I haven’t had enough to eat tonight and I’m almost starving to death," Qin Yun immediately seized the opportunity, thinking back to what tasted great that afternoon. With her good memory, she immediately listed on her fingers what she wanted to eat.

After listing her desires, she lifted her eyes full of brightness and looked at him.

"Got it." Under her gaze, Pei Yan stiffly nodded.

"Your Highness, ten minutes remaining," Little C interjected as soon as the two reached an agreement.

Having received the promise, Qin Yun was in a good mood and curved her bright eyes into crescents, extending her arms with a smile, "Come."

Besides hugging her yesterday to regain Life Value, Pei Yan had no other experience, so his movements were somewhat stiff in opening his arms.

Laughing, Qin Yun walked directly into his embrace, wrapping her arms around him; his chin just rested on her head. Being embraced, Pei Yan pursed his lips slightly uncomfortably.

She raised her head from his embrace to look at him, "Does it have to be twenty-four times or just hold it like this?"

Pei Yan’s body was stiff like a pillar, he looked down and saw her fair face looking up at him from his embrace.

Their height difference made them perfectly suited for a kiss, she didn’t even need to stand on her toes and Pei Yan could just lower his head and kiss her.

But neither of them thought about that at the moment.

To outsiders, it was an extremely harmonious scene. However, Pei Yan directly questioned Little C in his mind.

Little C, engrossed in shipping them as a couple, was silent for a few seconds after hearing Pei Yan’s question, resisted the urge to criticize, and replied speechlessly, "Your Highness, holding for a minute equates to sixty hours."

Pei Yan: "..."

He pursed his lips and asked somewhat unhappily, "Why didn’t you say so yesterday?"

If he had known yesterday, he wouldn’t have had to make a special trip today.

"Hold for five minutes," Pei Yan said with a faint touch of displeasure.

Qin Yun considered for a moment, blinked, "I came out without telling Yang Leqi, who’s the other female guest. What if she looks for me after washing up?"

"Your Highness, the daily limit for hugs is one minute," Little C had to remind.

A crack appeared in Pei Yan’s expressionless face, his thin lips tightly pressed together. After a while, he squeezed out a few words, "One minute."

Qin Yun seized the implied suggestion to change the topic, curiously looking up at him asked, "How did you get out? Did the doctors approve?"

"I just left without informing the doctors," Pei Yan replied.

"Then who drove?"

"The driver."

The conversation between them was casual.

The atmosphere between the two unknowingly became friendly, though not filled with pink bubbles, surprisingly harmonious.

"Life Value +60, remaining Life Value 60 hours and 9 minutes," Little C said with utter delight.

Upon hearing Little C’s voice, Pei Yan released Qin Yun, sighing in relief as his body relaxed.

"Is it done? Don’t forget my food!" Qin Yun stepped back two paces.

After all, she earned it through her sacrifice, not an easy feat!
