1425 Qi Zhenbai’s Grievances
Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming couldn’t look straight at Director Wang showing off, but they agreed with what he was saying – it was all thanks to Master Chi that they could escape from Dashan Village. Spending some money wasn’t a big deal. They also felt that it was too discourteous to have Master Chi stay in this small hotel, but this was the only thing they could do for the time being. No, when they returned to the capital, they had to treat Master Chi well no matter what.
In particular, after learning of Master Chi’s extraordinary abilities, this group of people wanted to interact with her even more. Nowadays, there were scammers everywhere, and there were very few true experts. There was no harm in building a good relationship. After what happened in Dashan Village, they realized that this world was more dangerous than they thought. They really wouldn’t be at ease if they didn’t build a good relationship with Master Chi.
As soon as Director Wang spoke, Yan Zhengming immediately jabbed Yang Kun with his elbow. There was some anxiety on his face, and he hoped that Yang Kun could build a good relationship with Master Chi.
After seeing what happened in Dashan Village, it was clear that this Master Chi was definitely an expert among experts. At this thought, Yan Zhengming touched the talismans which Kun’er had given to him in his pocket. He hadn’t taken them seriously before, but now, he touched them from time to time, and treated them like a lifesaver.
Song Yanru, Cao Zhengsong and Song Chu also stood in front of her with smiles on their faces. Song Yanru even took the initiative to ask Master Chi if she wanted an autograph.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin’s feelings were complicated when they saw how enthusiastic everyone was.
The two of them were really a little worried that their standing in Master Chi’s heart would fall. They were relying on the fact that they already knew Master Chi. Apart from this advantage, they didn’t have anything else.
After a while, however, the two finally got over it. They knew that they couldn’t stop Director Wang and the others from interacting with Master Chi. After seeing Master Chi’s abilities, it would be stupid if Director Wang and the others didn’t fawn on her.
So, after Director Wang said that, the two of them also echoed him and specially said that they would arrange another meal after they went back to the capital. It would be their treat, to show how especially grateful they were!
The corners of Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s mouths twitched at the enthusiasm of Director Wang and the others, but they were in awe of Master Chi.
Shuyan took in Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s awed gazes and didn’t act pretentiously. She accepted Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s invitation, and readily took Song Yanru’s autograph, then asked them what they wanted to eat.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming didn’t stand on ceremony and directly replied with their favorite dishes.
Chi Shuyan asked Brother Feng what he wanted to eat.
As for Qi Zhenbai standing behind her, Chi Shuyan didn’t see him at all, so she couldn’t help but overlook him.
Because of Zhenbai, Feng Yuanlin really wasn’t in the mood to eat dinner. Ever since he got into the car, he paid attention to Zhenbai from time to time to see if he was acting strangely.
Unfortunately, Zhenbai was too calm and normal the whole time. If this friend hadn’t almost strangled him to death in the dense forest, Feng Yuanlin wouldn’t have sensed anything strange about Zhenbai.
He had just felt that Zhenbai was acting pretty normally, when he saw his friend’s eyes fall on Shuyan chatting enthusiastically with the others. His good-looking and calm face instantly darkened at a visible rate, and his expression turned a little sinister. His cold and sharp gaze swept over Director Wang and the others.
Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but jump in fright at Zhenbai’s gaze. He saw Zhenbai’s expression turn even more dangerous and his eyes turn darker. He hurriedly interrupted Director Wang and the others’ excessive solicitousness and used the excuse that Shuyan was tired and needed to rest for a while to put an end to the conversation.
Sure enough, as soon as Feng Yuanlin said that, Director Wang immediately shut up obediently, and so did the others. They immediately thoughtfully told Chi Shuyan to rest first, and said that when dinner was ready, they would call for her to eat.
Chi Shuyan actually found it difficult to resist the enthusiasm of Director Wang and the others. Hearing Director Wang’s words, she heaved a sigh of relief and nodded at them. “Okay. There’s no need to make dinner too lavish. Just enough is fine!” It would be dawn in three to five hours; who would be in the mood to eat this ‘dinner’?
Seeing the Master’s good attitude, Director Wang heaved a sigh of relief. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was truly a good person. A true expert didn’t have to put on airs at all; they just had to rely on their strength. Back in Dashan Village, Shenglin and Yang Kun had said a lot of good things about the Master, but Director Wang actually didn’t believe them at that time.
Thinking this, Director Wang felt guilty and regretful.
Otherwise, he would have had more time to befriend this true Master.
When Chi Shuyan and the others went upstairs, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan, who were also Song Yanru’s fans, specially asked Song Yanru if she could give them autographed pictures too.
Song Yanru immediately said yes. “Okay!”
Director Wang was even more solicitous. “Brothers, which other celebrities do you like? Tell me, I’ll get them your autographs. No, you can meet them if you like!”
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were stupefied. Their sister-in-law was too powerful!
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were disoriented by the enthusiasm of Director Wang and the others. The two of them didn’t follow celebrities, but this was a very rare opportunity for them to see celebrities in the flesh.
Seeing how happy Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were, Chi Shuyan didn’t insist on calling them to go upstairs. She let them continue chatting with Director Wang and the others while she took Brother Feng, Qi Zhenbai and Aunt Miao upstairs.
Aunt Miao hugged her son tightly and looked very tense. This was the first time she had left the village; apart from sighing with relief, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. Chi Shuyan understood how difficult it had been for Aunt Miao, and specially arranged for the two to stay in the room next to hers so that she could help take care of the little guy. After all, his condition was a little strange.
After the arrangements were made for Aunt Miao, Feng Yuanlin also chose a room. He was choosing between the one opposite Shuyan or next door, when Zhenbai’s sharp gaze made his scalp tingle, and he simply chose the room opposite Shuyan.
Feng Yuanlin swiped his room card and saw that although the room was small, it had all the essentials, so he wasn’t picky.
Chi Shuyan sent Brother Feng to his room and took a look at the facilities in the hotel. She wasn’t fussy; as long as the room was clean, she was pretty satisfied.
Before she left, Chi Shuyan said to Brother Feng, “Brother Feng, I’ll go take a look at my room first. Rest for a while or take a shower. You can rest later after eating something.”
Feng Yuanlin was about to call out to Shuyan, when he saw a certain man behind her look at him sharply. His eyes were dangerous and sharp. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to call out to Shuyan or give the couple some privacy.
While Feng Yuanlin was in a daze, Chi Shuyan had already closed the door for him, leaving Feng Yuanlin in his room to gloomily pinch the space between his eyebrows. However, even if Zhenbai really was possessed, it was impossible for him to harm Shuyan for the time being. Feng Yuanlin would call Shuyan to go down for dinner later.
Ever since they left Dashan Village, Chi Shuyan’s face and mood had calmed down a lot. She swiped her room card and went in. When she entered, she realized that a certain man had followed her into her room and closed the door. Only then did she remember Qi Zhenbai’s presence.
Thinking of how this man had naturally entered her room, Chi Shuyan was a bit surprised. Given this man’s character, he wouldn’t come in without asking.
It was also her fault for ignoring this man’s existence just now.
The corners of Chi Shuyan’s mouth twitched.
It had been too long since the two of them were alone together in the same room. Chi Shuyan’s head hurt, but the man in front of her acted very properly. As soon as he entered, he wasn’t in a hurry to find a place to sit. Instead, he stood not far from the door of the room and didn’t move. His thin lips were pursed tightly and he was silent, looking unusually honest.
It was a pity that the man was as tall as a mountain and had a strong presence. Chi Shuyan lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, wanting to ignore the man as much as possible. She couldn’t immediately chase him out, and could only say tactfully, “Don’t you need to take a look at your room?”
The man didn’t say anything. If Chi Shuyan had taken a closer look, she would have seen that his eyes were bottomless. When he looked at her, his eyes flashed and were terrifyingly hot.
Chi Shuyan was a bit puzzled when she didn’t hear a reply from the man even after a while. She opened her eyes and was about to ask again, when she heard his deep, powerful and pitiful voice. “Why didn’t you ask me earlier what I want to eat?”
Chi Shuyan: …
