I accompanied Pei Chenyi as we fled the battlefield. Pei Chenyi sat on a bench while I treated his wounds. He looked at me with gentle eyes. I felt shy under his gaze and lowered my head, asking, "What's wrong?"
He said, "Yao Yao, why did you help me block that can earlier?"
"..."
I paused for a moment before replying softly, "I don't know."
I wasn't lying. I truly didn't know. At that moment, it was just instinct; I didn't want to see him get hurt. I hadn't even considered whether I might get injured myself. I just wanted to protect him.
...
After treating Pei Chenyi's wounds, I lifted my head to meet his gaze. His eyes were deep, like a whirlpool, drawing me in. My heart inexplicably raced.
"Yao Yao," he called me softly.
"Mm?"
"Thank you," he said.
"..."
I averted my gaze and tried to respond calmly, "You're welcome."
...
After Pei Chenyi was injured, he temporarily laid low. Manager Qin Jin took a female customer to the reception room, leaving just the two of us in the office. Pei Chenyi seemed hesitant to speak, as if he had something on his mind. Just then, Store Manager Sister Liu walked in and asked, "Xiao Pei, are you okay?"
Pei Chenyi: "..."
...
In the following days, the public relations crisis escalated. Hena, Estee, and Baili Mall all worked tirelessly to minimize the negative impact. After all, this allergic reaction incident was severe; many customers had complained to the Consumer Association, and some even posted videos online, sparking a "bad skin incident" that greatly affected the reputations of both Hena Brand and Baili Mall.
In this crisis, Pei Chenyi was at the forefront. After all, he had heavily promoted this set during a live stream and had even used it in front of viewers; he was fine while the audience suffered from skin issues. As a result, Pei Chenyi quickly became the target of criticism, with many customers and netizens flooding his Weibo with insults.
To mitigate losses, the brand and mall intentionally shifted the blame onto Pei Chenyi by suspending all his recent activities to avoid impacting the upcoming Anniversary Celebration.
Suddenly, Pei Chenyi disappeared without a trace overnight.
...
The day of the Anniversary Celebration is getting closer.
My work is becoming increasingly busy.
But I can't seem to let go of Pei Chenyi.
I wonder how he is doing now.
Is his wound healing?
Will he...
become despondent because of this?
...
Everyone sees me restless every day and knows that I am worried about Pei Chenyi.
Du Mei said, "If you're worried about him, why not go see him?"
Zhang Qiang said, "Yeah, the public opinion in the mall has been controlled now, so it won't affect you visiting your subordinate."
Qin Jin said, "Xiao Pei has suffered quite a bit for the mall this time; you should really check on him."
Even Li Wen spoke up: "Yao Yao, you should go find Pei Chenyi."
"..."
After hesitating for a long time, I finally stood up.
"Then... should I go see him?"
"Go ahead," everyone nodded in agreement.
...
I left my workplace and headed to Pei Chenyi's Live Stream company.
On the way, I sent him a message: "Are you at the company?"
Pei Chenyi replied: "Yes, what's up?"
"I'm coming to see you."
"See me?"
"Yeah."
"What do you want to see me for?"
"..."
I was speechless.
Does this guy really not understand or is he just pretending?
...
When I arrived at the Live Stream company and was about to enter, I was stopped by the receptionist.
"Hello, may I ask who you're looking for?"
"I'm looking for Pei Chenyi."
"Pei Chenyi?" The receptionist paused for a moment, "Are you his..."
"I'm his friend."
"Friend?" The receptionist looked surprised, "You must be his girlfriend then?"
“……”
I quickly shook my head, “No, no, I’m just a regular friend. Don’t misunderstand.”
“I see,” the receptionist smiled meaningfully, “Then wait a moment, I’ll give him a call.”
……
Moments later, Pei Chenyi came down.
“Yao Yao, what brings you here?” he asked in surprise.
“I came to see you,” I said.
“See me?” He blinked, “What do you want to see me for?”
“……”
I looked at him speechlessly.
Does this guy really not understand what I’m saying?
……
I followed Pei Chenyi upstairs.
His studio was located at the corner of the second floor, in an independent space that was simply decorated and had a tranquil environment.
“Please have a seat,” he gestured.
“Thank you.” I sat down on the sofa.
Pei Chenyi poured me a glass of water and then sat down across from me.
He looked at me with a smile and said, “Yao Yao, why did you really come to see me?”
“……”
I looked at him helplessly.
This guy hasn’t forgotten about this yet.
I sighed, “Alright, I’ll be honest, I just…”
Before I could finish my sentence, Pei Chenyi’s phone suddenly rang.
