CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: COMFORTING YOU

"I thought you forgot, I was just about to remind you, come in." Pei Yan opened the door and walked right in.

"I might forget other things, but not this." Qin Yun didn’t hesitate, striding right in.

As she walked halfway, she smelled the familiar scent in the room, was it just after a shower?

Did she come at a bad time?

Pausing for a moment, she suddenly remembered the live streaming, and asked in a low voice, "Did you close your stream?"

"Closed." Pei Yan took out the stock transfer agreement and placed it in front of Qin Yun.

"You’re really different, being able to close your stream at will, our room is still open until now, indeed, there’s a difference between people." Qin Yun sighed, glanced over it quickly, and signed her name.

Pei Yan thought of the conversation he just heard between Yang Leqi and her in Qin Yun’s stream, and looked at her with deep eyes, his gaze involuntarily fell on her.

Her face, without a touch of makeup, was fair and delicate, they were only twenty centimeters apart, and he couldn’t see any pores.

He hadn’t paid much attention to this before, but seeing it now, he couldn’t help but marvel.

He didn’t know if other people’s skin was as good, but Qin Yun’s skin really had no blemishes to pick on.

Her cheeks, he wondered if she had just gotten up from bed, still had a faint pinkish hue, white with a hint of red, quite akin to a fairy’s flat peach.

Her eyelashes were a bit long, very curly, thick and dense, and as she blinked, her lashes trembled slightly.

Strangely, he felt a slight itch on his body.

Qin Yun finished signing and straightened up, nearly bumping into Pei Yan, slapped the signed agreement against his chest, and asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing?"

Pei Yan caught the agreement against his chest, glanced at the signature, and calmly said, "Nothing, finished signing?"

"Yeah, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head down." Qin Yun said, preparing to leave.

Pei Yan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, "Sit."

Qin Yun looked at him quizzically.

"As we agreed before, twenty-four hugs a day, today we haven’t hugged yet." Pei Yan said, looking down at her awkwardly.

Qin Yun: "..."

"Then why didn’t we hug in the afternoon? You wanted to hold hands?" Qin Yun asked, her voice carrying the question of her soul.

Little C watched the scene excitedly, only to call out: Good question, why indeed? It’s curious too!!

Pei Yan’s cool demeanor almost cracked, as he seemingly couldn’t answer this question.

Clearly, Little C could change it up a bit, they could completely hug all twenty-four times when it was just the two of them, or hug for a minute, couldn’t they?

Pei Yan closed his eyes, his ears flushed with red, a hint of pink creeping onto his handsome face, his thin lips tightly pressed, and after a while he spoke, "Forgot."

Qin Yun, seemingly for the first time seeing such a Pei Yan, looked at him with interest for a good while, making Pei Yan’s face even redder, his throat bobbing a few times, before she contentedly spread her arms.

"Want a hug?" Qin Yun raised an eyebrow, her voice carrying a hint of pleasure as she asked.

Pei Yan didn’t say a word, reaching out to pull her into his arms, as if this could shield Qin Yun’s searing gaze.

"Switching hug mode," Pei Yan said in his consciousness.

The two hugged like this for a whole minute, with a notification from Little C, "Life Value +60 hours."

Pei Yan released Qin Yun, looking completely businesslike.

Prompting Little C to quietly complain, "This movement, why does it feel like a player who finishes the game without taking responsibility?"

Even though Little C spoke softly, Pei Yan still heard it, and coldly asked, "You seem quite active recently?"

"No! I didn’t say anything just now, heard nothing, saw nothing, I’m shutting down." Little C, frightened, said and entered emergency shutdown mode.

Qin Yun uncomfortably touched the tip of her nose, still faintly smelling Pei Yan’s scent around her, which made her only want to move away, "Then I’m going back."

"Mm." Pei Yan nodded slightly, reverting to his usual aloofness.

Only the still red tint on his earlobes betrayed his unsettled emotions.

What a person!

Qin Yun pouted, she better not ask for her help next time!

Resolutely grabbing her share of the agreement and leaving.

"Trigger hidden task, please make your wife, namely Tang Yun, happy within an hour, or the Life Value will reset to zero. Task completion will be rewarded with a mystery gift." Little C suddenly said.

Pei Yan: "..."

He seriously suspected that this damn system was deliberately messing with him!

"Well, even though I’m the one issuing the task, it’s not me who made the rules. Moreover, Your Highness... you have offended Tang Yun, which does you no good either... Have you forgotten, even if you have sixty hours now, what after sixty hours? Even if you complete this task and don’t reset to zero, what if Tang Yun doesn’t want to interact with you anymore because of your actions just now, what do you plan to do?" Little C, seeing Pei Yan remain silent, held back his complaints and tried to reason with him.

Pei Yan was silent for a while before saying, "I don’t know how to get along with her, if it weren’t for your damn tasks, I wouldn’t be so conflicted and end up making such jokes!"

"Your Highness, the issue now is how to make Tang Yun happy again. Didn’t you notice that Tang Yun seemed a bit upset when she left? How can you be so callous?" Little C said, annoyed at his lack of understanding.

Pei Yan recalled Qin Yun’s departure, she did seem slightly upset?

He pressed his lips, a touch of unprecedented panic flashing in his eyes, "So what do you suggest I do?"

Not because of the system’s task, but because he realized Qin Yun really seemed a bit upset.

Although he didn’t know why, it just left a bit of discomfort in his heart.

Pei Yan’s mind was racing, pondering the easiest way to appease her.

Little C thought for quite a while, just as it thought of a way to charm a girl, Pei Yan got up, put on a coat, a hat, and a mask, and prepared to go out.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Little C asked in surprise.

"To buy food, Qin Yun loves good food, whenever she eats something she likes, her eyes become cheerful and relaxed, she also said before, as long as she eats well, she’d do anything." Pei Yan said, opening the door and walking out.

There wasn’t a Pei Family shop here, so he didn’t know which place was good, had to go find it himself.

All the way until 11 o’clock, twenty minutes before the task deadline, Qin Yun was dug out of bed by Pei Yan, brought to a place that wasn’t very upscale, but had the best taste nearby.

"What are you doing dragging me out in the middle of the night?" Qin Yun yawned, mumbling with teary eyes.

"We’ll be there soon."

Pei Yan took her to a restaurant, even though it was already 11, the business at this place was still booming, with a long line of waiting people.

"Why are we here?" Seeing the long line, Qin Yun stopped yawning, staring dumbfounded and asked.

"To make you happy." Pei Yan stopped, turning to gaze at her.
