Chapter 149 Mr. Pei, long time no see.

That night, everyone including the guests checked into the holiday villa. As the person in charge of the villa said, there were a lot of empty rooms because the villa had not received guests from the beginning.

"Ms. Shen," the man handed over a room card, "your room is on the top floor. I haven't had time to record your fingerprints yet. Please use the room card first."

Shen Zhiyi arrived at the room on the top floor and knew as soon as she opened the door that this was the place Pei Yu had lived in. The furnishings in the room were all arranged according to his preferences. There were also a few of his clothes in the cloakroom. The smell of agarwood on them had become very faint, which showed that he might have last come here a long time ago.

The luggage rescued from the collapsed house was taken away for cleaning. After Shen Zhiyi finished washing, he directly took one of Pei Yu's nightgown.

As soon as she sat down on the edge of the bed, the landline on the bedside table rang. She answered it and lay down on the bed.

"Pei Yu."

"Well," Pei Yu could tell that she was in a good mood, so his expression softened. "There's a cell phone in the last drawer. Use that first."

"Okay," Shen Zhiyi found his phone, "Why did you build a private villa here? I think the last time you were here was a long time ago."

Pei Yu was silent for a few seconds before answering nonchalantly, "Isn't the scenery over there nice? Let's build a villa so that we can stay there on vacation. Do you like it?"

"It's pretty good," Shen Zhiyi stood on the balcony, looking at the howling wind and rain outside, "I've never been here before."

She only went to school in the town for a few years. At that time, this place had not been developed and was still a field.

The two chatted for a few sentences. Shen Zhiyi was very sleepy and fell asleep on the bed before she hung up the phone. Pei Yu hung up the phone only after he was sure that she was asleep.

Tonight was destined not to be a peaceful night. In the early morning, the wind became stronger, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Shen Zhiyi was awakened several times and slept uneasily. It was not until dawn when the noise outside became quieter that she fell into a deep sleep again.

This private villa has sufficient supplies, and breakfast is prepared on time in the morning. The staff of the program crew ate while chatting.

"I don't think we can leave today. The roads are blocked."

"It's okay if you don't leave. I live well here. This room is bigger than my house."

The staff members whispered to each other, "I heard that this private villa belongs to Shen Zhiyi."

The companion was shocked, "No way? I heard it belonged to her friend."

"Her hometown is here. It's understandable that she would build a luxurious manor to live in after making money. If it really belongs to her friend, would she lend it to us so easily?"

"She must be really rich," several people muttered. "This villa is so big, and she has to hire people to manage it. How much money must it cost?"

The sound of their conversation was neither loud nor quiet, but loud enough for others to hear. The female guest glanced around and asked, "Hey, Zhiyi hasn't come down to eat yet?"

Everyone went to bed late last night, so it was already past ten o'clock for the first meal, but Shen Zhiyi had not come down yet. He had slept too long.

"Will the table here be cleared soon?" The female guest became more and more worried. "I'll go call Zhiyi down to eat."

She took a few steps towards the elevator and happened to meet the person in charge of the villa who was hurried out.

She stopped him and said, "Hello, may I ask which room Zhiyi lives in? I want her to come down for dinner."

The person in charge only paused for a moment and said, "No, please don't disturb Miss Shen."

He quickly walked around the female guest and headed for the door. Almost as soon as he got there, the door was pushed open from the outside and someone walked in. The person in charge whispered something, and the man nodded slightly. He came in from outside, but not a drop of rain stuck to his body. He was too neat, except for his unkempt hair, which was a little messy, showing that he had been running all the way.

Soon, the man entered the elevator surrounded by several people.

The top floor was an independent one-bedroom apartment. After Pei Yu entered the room, he took off his coat first, washed his hands in the kitchen, and then pushed open the bedroom door.

The curtains were drawn and only after the door was opened could a little light come into the room. A small bulge could be seen on the bed. Shen Zhiyi was still sleeping.

Pei Yu didn't want to disturb her sweet dream, but thinking of her slightly hoarse voice during the phone call last night, he felt uneasy, so he walked in after a little hesitation.

He deliberately walked lightly and pulled the quilt down, revealing Shen Zhiyi's face. Although the light was dim, he could still see her flushed face, and it was indeed hot when he touched it.

Pei Yu frowned immediately, and moved his fingers down to touch her neck which was also hot and seemed to be sweating.

"Zhizhi?"

He called out several times, and Shen Zhiyi finally opened his eyes in confusion. However, everything in front of him was blurry and he couldn't see clearly. He recognized his identity from his voice and muttered vaguely, "Pei Yu?"

"Yes, it's me," Pei Yu said softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Headache," Shen Zhiyi answered in a hoarse voice. He still felt it was unreal that he suddenly appeared in front of him. "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried." Even though there were people here, Pei Yu was still worried. He came here first after clearing the road today. "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry." Shen Zhiyi felt him holding her hand. Perhaps because he had just come in from outside, his body temperature was cooler than usual, which was very comfortable for Shen Zhiyi at the moment. She pressed her hot cheek against his and said listlessly, "I'm sleepy."

"Eat something first," Pei Yu asked someone to bring the food and medicine over, "Take some more medicine, and then go to sleep later."

Shen Zhiyi had a fever and a very poor appetite. She fell asleep again after taking the medicine. Pei Yu stayed by her side, taking her temperature every once in a while. He was relieved only after confirming that the antipyretic was effective.

Until the afternoon, Shen Zhiyi had not appeared in front of everyone.

By dinner time, the road that had been blocked before was completely passable and all the people from the program crew had evacuated. Only after they had all left did Shen Zhiyi wake up in a hungry state.

Shen Zhiyi had just woken up and was not clear-headed enough. After a while, she found that someone was holding her in his arms. She raised her head slightly and saw Pei Yu's lowered face in the dim light.

"It turns out it wasn't a dream," she murmured softly, thinking she had seen him in a dream.

She didn't know what time it was. Shen Zhiyi felt like she had slept for a long time. She moved in Pei Yu's arms, and then he held her tighter. Pei Yu's voice rang above her head, and it was very hoarse.

"woke up?"

He reached out and touched Shen Zhiyi's forehead. He felt relieved only after he was sure that her fever had subsided. He then lowered his head to find her lips.

Shen Zhiyi dodged subconsciously.

Pei Yu paused and said calmly, "You won't let me kiss you?"

"I'm afraid of infecting you."

As compensation, she kissed Pei Yu on the forehead and said with a smile, "Mr. Pei, long time no see."
