It was a normal day for Jiang Peiyao.
During the day, she took care of her brother at the hospital, took him for a stroll in the hospital’s park, and then brought him back to his room.
Thanks to Xu Yun, her brother had a private VIP room, so the conditions were exceptional.
Jiang Peiyao waited in the room until her brother fell asleep before returning to her rented apartnt alone. She made a simple al of one dish and a soup, planning to just eat sothing quickly.
Just then, she suddenly got a video call from Xu Yun.
It was a bit of a surprise.
Jiang Peiyao answered. Xu Yun’s face appeared on the screen. It looked like he was outside—there were trees in the background.
From his end, Xu Yun smiled and asked, "What are you up to?"
"I just got back from the hospital. I was about to eat."
"Let see. What delicious food did you make?"
"Fine, take a look."
Jiang Peiyao switched the cara, pointing it at the single dish and soup on her table. "Just this."
"Are you on a diet?"
Xu Yun said, "That’s too plain."
"It’s fine. It’s just , so I’m just making do."
Jiang Peiyao asked in return, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I’m starving."
Xu Yun sighed. "I was thinking of coming over and having you treat to dinner, but that al of yours isn’t even enough for one person."
"If you ca over, I obviously wouldn’t be eating this."
Jiang Peiyao smiled. "But you’re a thousand miles away from . Even if I wanted to treat you, I couldn’t."
"Who says?"
Knowing she was ho, Xu Yun started walking toward the elevator. As he walked, he said, "Just say you really miss , and love will let cross ti and space to appear before you in an instant."
"I don’t believe you."
"If you don’t believe , why not give it a try?"
Jiang Peiyao hesitated for a mont before saying, "I miss you."
"Who do you miss? At least use my na."
"Xu Yun, I miss you."
Jiang Peiyao’s face flushed red as she said it. Then she added, "So? How co you haven’t appeared in front of ?"
"Who says I haven’t?"
Xu Yun stepped out of the elevator on the 23rd floor and stood at her door. He said with a smile, "If you don’t believe , go open the door and see. A miracle is waiting for you."
After saying that, he hung up.
Jiang Peiyao was left utterly confused.
Staring at the abruptly ended call, she had no idea what trick Xu Yun was playing, but she still got up and walked to the door, full of doubt.
Since she lived alone, she was very safety-conscious. She didn’t open the door right away, instead peering through the peephole.
And then she saw him—Xu Yun, the man who was just on her phone screen.
Outside, Xu Yun seed to know he was being watched. He smiled and tapped the peephole’s glass with his finger. "Stop looking and open the door."
Jiang Peiyao quickly opened the door. Stunned to see Xu Yun suddenly appear at her doorstep, she was at a loss for words.
"See? I told you I wasn’t lying."
Xu Yun smiled. "As long as you say you miss , I’ll teleport over to see you."
"Thank you!"
It’s true that won like money, but a man who was rich, handso, kind, and romantic? He was devastatingly lethal.
In that mont, Jiang Peiyao felt a deep, moving sensation in her heart and completely fell for him.
She no longer cared if Xu Yun’s feelings were real or if it was all just an act.
She knew she had fallen in love with this man.
Even if it was all fake, she was willing to live in the lie of such a beautiful bubble.
Jiang Peiyao pulled Xu Yun directly into the apartnt, hugged him tightly, and, tilting her head up, began to kiss him.
Fervent and wild.
Faced with Jiang Peiyao’s initiative, Xu Yun certainly wouldn’t refuse; he would only respond with even greater passion.
As for the food on the table, that could wait.
After a deep kiss, Xu Yun carried Jiang Peiyao straight to the bedroom.
Like a parched land eting sweet rain, the earth was revitalized, and everything burst with life.
The mountain peaks, shaped by the Creator’s hands, grew firm and tall once more. The mountain brook quickened its pace as a spring from deep within welled up, its waters burbling softly.
The sound of birds chirping rose and fell, occasionally punctuated by the low roar of a wild beast.
All of this ford a beautiful, picturesque scene.
Several hours later, the sudden storm subsided, and the entire mountain grew quiet once more.
Xu Yun and Jiang Peiyao erged from the bedroom after "watching TV," both feeling a bit hungry.
For so reason, however, Jiang Peiyao’s complexion was much rosier, and her skin seed supple and dewy, a complete change from her previous weary state.
Xu Yun looked at the single dish and soup on the table and said with a smile, "This food is cold now. We can’t eat it. Co on, let’s go out to eat."
"Okay."
Jiang Peiyao nodded. As she walked, she felt a slight pain.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Xu Yun asked with concern, "Should I order takeout instead? We can just eat at ho."
"I’m fine."
Jiang Peiyao said shyly, "It’s fine as long as I walk slowly and don’t take big steps."
"I was too rash just now."
"It wasn’t your fault. I was the one who wanted too much."
Jiang Peiyao smiled. "Co on, I’ll show you around Rongcheng properly."
"Let’s skip the tour for now. We’ll eat first, and then we can go to the hospital to see your brother."
Xu Yun added, "Let’s wait until tomorrow. You can show around properly then."
"Okay."
Xu Yun didn’t have a car here, so they had to take a private car-for-hire to a nearby downtown comrcial center. He then randomly found a Western restaurant on his phone called KEZEE Channel.
The overall atmosphere was nice. It had several floors and was designed in an opera house style, with magnificent lighting.
There was also a live music stage. Combined with candlelight, it was a mix of a music venue and a bar. You could eat while listening to the house singer, creating a strong concert-like vibe.
The two of them ordered their food and a bottle of red wine, chatting as they ate.
