Pei Chenyi paused for a moment and smiled faintly, "Actually, I'm not as innocent as you think."
"……"
I looked up in surprise.
Pei Chenyi chuckled, "I'm just an ordinary guy, yet I have so many fans and earn far more than my salary. Why do you think that is?"
"……"
"That's because the company has created a false persona for me."
"……"
"I drive luxury cars, wear designer brands, and talk about various topics during live streams, promoting products that countless viewers rush to buy... What's the difference between me and an internet celebrity?"
"……"
"Yao Yao, do you know? I actually realized long ago that the brands were exploiting me, using me, but I still chose to cooperate with them because I enjoyed that feeling of being surrounded by people."
"……"
"However, this incident made me understand that such a life is not what I truly want."
"……"
"I want to start over and no longer rely on that persona to live."
……
I quietly looked at Pei Chenyi, feeling a bit complicated inside.
I never knew he had thought so much.
He is indeed not completely innocent, but he has also paid a price.
I can only say that everyone has their own choices and destinies; we cannot judge right or wrong.
……
I sighed, "So... what do you plan to do now?"
Pei Chenyi shrugged and said, "Just waiting for the results."
"Results?" I asked, puzzled. "What results?"
Pei Chenyi replied, "The investigation results of the allergic incident."
"..."
I looked at him in surprise.
Right, I had completely forgotten about that.
"So, what did the investigation find? Was there a problem?" I asked eagerly.
Pei Chenyi looked at me, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
Pei Chenyi sighed and said, "Yao Yao, actually..."
"Actually what?"
"This matter isn't complicated."
"..."
I was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Pei Chenyi explained, "Hena's Red Velvet Cream and Rose Essence Cream have active ingredients that interact with each other, which can cause adverse reactions like allergies, redness, and stinging."
"..."
I was astonished. "So you're saying the allergic incident was caused by mixing the two creams?"
Pei Chenyi nodded. "Yes."
"Then why couldn't it be detected earlier?"
"Because the effects of these two ingredients are quite special and take some time to manifest."
"..."
I suddenly understood.
So that's how it is.
I stared at Pei Chenyi. "Since you already found out, why not announce the results?"
Pei Chenyi sighed helplessly. "This result cannot be disclosed for now."
"Why not?"
"Because Belle Group is one of the largest cosmetics retailers in the country. If this result is made public, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the group, and it could even affect the Anniversary Celebration."
"…"
I fell silent for a moment and sighed. "I understand."
…
I looked at Pei Chenyi and couldn't help but complain, "Since you already figured out the reason, why didn't you tell us? You made us worry about you for so long for nothing."
Pei Chenyi blinked. "Who was worried about me?"
"…"
I averted my gaze and murmured, "Qin Jin, Du Mei, Zhang Qiang… and me."
"…"
Pei Chenyi looked at me, his gaze deepening.
I felt uneasy. "What's wrong?"
Pei Chenyi said softly, "Yao Yao, I’m not trying to act weak. I'm just feeling down and didn’t want to go out."
"…"
I looked at him in surprise. Was he explaining himself to me?
…
I felt sweet inside but said, "So are you feeling better now?"
"Um…" Pei Chenyi thought for a moment. "It could be better."
"…"
I asked in confusion, "What should I do?"
Pei Chenyi smiled and suddenly leaned in, kissing my lips.
"..."
