“Let me hold you for a while, let me hold you for a while...”
It took Pei Chiyao a full five minutes to calm down.
Zhi Yao carefully raised her hand, wanting to poke Pei Chiyao's forehead,
but she was too short to reach.
So the little girl could only tap his chin and say, "Pei Chiyao, I'm really okay!"
"Okay."
Pei Chiyao leaned down and picked her up, letting her sit in the crook of his arm.
Now she could reach.
Zhi Yao stretched out her hand, tracing Pei Chiyao's eyebrows and eyes, "Pei Chiyao, you were really super cool just now!"
Thinking back to that scene, Zhi Yao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart for some reason.
She retracted her hand and covered her own heart, her expression a little strange.
Seeing her actions, Pei Chiyao immediately changed his expression and said, "What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, honestly saying, "No, I just... I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
"It feels like my heart is beating a little fast."
"Were you scared?" Pei Chiyao asked anxiously.
Zhi Yao shook her head, "No, it's not that. Just thinking about when you saved me just now makes my heart beat so fast and feel a little uncomfortable. What is this about?"
She rested her head on Pei Chiyao's shoulder and softly asked.
Pei Chiyao didn't expect this answer at all.
This silly little fox didn't even understand feeling touched.
He couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, his heart was filled by her actions.
"Yao Yao..."
He lowered his head slightly and gently kissed Zhi Yao's forehead, "Good girl."
...
By the time the two of them walked out of the rest room, half an hour had passed.
When Zhi Yao followed behind Pei Chiyao and came out, she found that her fans were still there. Zhi Yao was a little surprised.
Older Brother Sun said helplessly, "They insisted on seeing that you were safe and sound before leaving."
Is that so?
Zhi Yao walked out quickly and said, "Don't worry! I'm really fine!"
She really was fine.
The fans' gazes shifted back and forth between Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao. Hadn't so many people seen Pei Chiyao hold Zhi Yao just now? Could it be...their relationship really was unusual?
Older Brother Sun naturally knew that today's scene would probably not stop the rumors.
He came up with a perfect excuse, "It's like this. Today's incident frightened everyone. In a moment, I will arrange cars to take everyone to eat as Zhi Yao's treat, okay? Also, I hope today's matter is not spread out. For those who took pictures, I hope you can take the initiative to delete them. If I see related rumors or pictures about this online afterwards, I will pursue legal liability."
Giving candy after hitting someone, this was how Older Brother Sun did things.
He looked at Pei Chiyao, then looked at Zhi Yao, and quickly walked over to Pei Chiyao, saying, "You should let Zhi Yao's parents know about this as soon as possible. If they find out about it later, they will definitely blame you for not taking good care of your cousin Zhi Yao."
Cousin?!
Not only was Zhi Yao shocked by these words, but everyone present was also shocked!
What, they had thought Zhi Yao was just like them, a poor migrant worker. They didn't expect Zhi Yao to actually be Pei Chiyao's cousin.
Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes and glared at Older Brother Sun as a warning.
Older Brother Sun raised his hand, making a request gesture.
Only then did Pei Chiyao repress his words.
The fans instantly understood. So Pei Chiyao's actions towards Zhi Yao just now were only a cousin caring for his cousin.
Everyone's doubts were instantly dispelled.
Seeing that Zhi Yao was safe and sound, the fans were also completely relieved, saying, "As long as you're okay, Zhi Yao."
"Zhi Yao, don't worry, we'll wait for your drama to air!"
"Zhi Yao, you look even more beautiful in person than in those secretly taken photos of you!"
They had thought the photos were already stunning enough, but seeing Zhi Yao in person today made them realize what true beauty was.
Looking at them, Zhi Yao shyly nodded her head and said, "Thank you all!"
She had been worried that these fans might not really like her. But hearing them say this, Zhi Yao was completely relieved.
"Thank you all for liking me."
After saying goodbye to the fans, and the crew being left in chaos, today was not suitable for filming. The director waved his hand grandly and said, "Alright alright, I'll give you all a day off today."
Pei Chiyao also said, "I'll cover the losses."
He still had some other things to take Zhi Yao to deal with.
...
When Pei Chiyao took Zhi Yao to a dark place without any light, the little girl recognized it at a glance.
This was a club that Pei Chiyao had taken her to before!
Zhi Yao stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Pei Chiyao, why did you bring me here?"
Coming here made Zhi Yao think of the bad person she had seen last time.
That's right, that bad person...
Her mother!
Zhi Yao suddenly realized, "Pei Chiyao, do you know where my mother is?"
This was out of context, and Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao and said, "We'll talk about your mother's affairs when we get back."
He had just stepped in here when a man in black handed Pei Chiyao a cell phone.
"Young Master, here is evidence of this woman stalking and secretly photographing you over the past six months. Please take a look."
The man in black's expression was very strange.
Stalking? Secretly photographing?
Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes and opened the cell phone.
It was obvious that this woman had been stalking him for a long time. But because Pei Chiyao always had bodyguards protecting him, she could only sneak faraway shots.
The more Pei Chiyao looked, the uglier his expression became.
Because he discovered...this woman had collected many things he didn't want.
She should have been hiding near the hotel he lived in and rummaging through the trash.
Until...he saw a video.
Pei Chiyao holding Zhi Yao.
When he went in, he was holding a fox. When he came out, he was holding a little girl in his arms.
And that little girl had a fox ear and tail on her head that looked exactly the same as that fox!
No wonder, no wonder that woman had insisted Zhi Yao was a fox spirit. It turned out she had discovered...!
However, because that woman's mental state was unstable, everyone thought she was talking nonsense.
Pei Chiyao sneered coldly, "Where is she?"
The man in black pointed to the innermost room and said, "In there."
"Come with me."
Zhi Yao stood still, not following.
Pei Chiyao looked back at Zhi Yao and said, "Yao Yao, come with me."
Zhi Yao pointed at herself in disbelief and said, "Me? I'm going too?"
"Yes."
Perhaps it was time to let Zhi Yao know what kind of person he really was.
