Chapter 176: Not liked by children.

Although Shen Zhiyi paid attention to keeping warm, she still caught a cold while recording the second episode of the variety show. She originally wanted to hide it from Pei Yu, but the two of them had video calls every night. Her voice was very hoarse and she coughed from time to time, so she couldn't hide it at all.

Pei Yu's face turned cold at that moment, his brows furrowed, and he looked a little fierce. "Did you go to the hospital?"

He was in a bad mood and felt that he should not have let Shen Zhiyi go out to work. She was well taken care of when she stayed in Huating, but she fell ill as soon as she went out.

"Yes," Shen Zhiyi showed him the medicine she got from the hospital, "It's a minor problem, just take some medicine and it will be fine."

This was said without confidence. Shen Zhiyi knew her own body well. She was prone to catching a cold every winter. Although it was only a minor illness, it would not heal for a long time.

Pei Yu didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Seeing his expression, Shen Zhiyi quickly said, "Don't come. I'll be back soon after recording this episode."

There is no need for him to go back and forth.

"Besides, it's no use for you to come," she said softly, "I don't need your care for my little cold."

She persuaded him for a long time and finally dissuaded Pei Yu from coming over.

The next night, after recording the variety show, Shen Zhiyi was about to fly back. Her throat was so hoarse that she could hardly make any sound. This was an old problem. She would easily become hoarse when she caught a cold.

Xiao Dong brought her some water, "Secretary Qin said that my brother-in-law is at Qin's house."

Qin Fang's adopted son has his birthday today, and he invited everyone he knows to go over, as a way of officially recognizing his son as a member of the Qin family. Qin's father strongly disagrees with this, as Qin Fang did it without telling him, so he specially invited Pei Yu to go, in order to prevent Qin's father from overturning the table in public.

Shen Zhiyi nodded, feeling a little drowsy after taking the medicine.

She had booked a flight for tomorrow morning, but she was feeling very sick, and it was far from being as relaxing as she had said. In addition, Shen Zhiyi gradually felt that Pei Yu was actually very useful to her, and she missed him very much.

So I just went back under the cover of night.

It was not too late when the plane landed. Shen Zhiyi wanted to go back to Huating directly, but she also wanted to see Qin Fang's son. She heard that the child would be sent abroad for care in a few days according to Qin's father's wishes. If she didn't see him this time, she might not have the chance.

So I asked the driver to change the route.

The weather was cold and the banquet was held in the hall. Not many people were invited. When Shen Zhiyi arrived, Qin Fang was stuffing his precious son into Pei Yu's hands.

"Just hold him. Let my son benefit from your fame and be as smart as you when he grows up."

Fu Songzhi laughed at the side, "Be careful not to get acquainted with Pei Ge'er's difficult side, or you'll become even more difficult to serve than him."

Qin Fang shuddered and hesitated when he heard this, "No way..."

The chubby child pouted in his arms and blew a bubble with his saliva.

Pei Yu said expressionlessly, "Move the child away."

Most of the people who came to the banquet were young people, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Shen Zhiyi was dressed warmly and casually. After taking off her coat, she was wearing a woolen long skirt, which was quite conspicuous compared with everyone else's evening gowns, not to mention that she was wearing a mask because she had a cold.

However, Shen Zhiyi didn't care about other people's eyes. She walked towards Qin Fang, who was still holding the child and persuading Pei Yu, and didn't notice her approach.

Instead, the child turned his head and stared at her.

Shen Zhiyi smiled silently and reached out to poke the child's cheek. The child seemed stunned for a moment and spit out a saliva bubble at her to show his welcome.

There was a bit too much saliva, which made Qin Fang's neck slightly wet. He cursed in a low voice, "You stinky boy spit on me again."

He turned around and saw Shen Zhiyi, and was startled, "Why are you here?"

Shen Zhiyi's voice was hoarse and it was difficult for him to speak, so he just smiled at him.

Only after he spoke did he attract Pei Yu's attention. Seeing that Shen Zhiyi was obviously stunned, he reached out to her.

Shen Zhiyi put her hand on him and was held in his arms. This man did not shy away from being intimate with her in public. "Changed your ticket? Why didn't you tell me?" Pei Yu took off the mask on her face. She looked a little pale because of illness.

Shen Zhiyi spoke, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, "I missed you."

Pei Yu frowned immediately, "Why are you so mute?"

Knowing that he would have this reaction, Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips and said nothing, just smiling at him innocently.

Qin Fang also heard her voice, "Are you sick? It's been a bit cold lately, and I've caught a lot of colds."

He asked someone to serve Shen Zhiyi a bowl of snow pear soup, and then pushed the child in front of Shen Zhiyi, "He likes you very much. I just need to show him your photo and he will stop crying immediately."

The child looked over here with his ignorant eyes, and Shen Zhiyi hid back helplessly.

She has a cold. What if she infects the children?

Pei Yu glanced at Qin Fang and said, "Take it."

Qin Fang: “…”

Why does he dislike his precious son so much?

He snorted, threw the child to Fu Songzhi, and picked up a glass of wine.

"If I don't hold you now, you won't be able to hold you in the future. My father will send this child to Switzerland."

His father was still expecting him to marry some socialite, so of course an illegitimate child couldn't be raised at home.

Qin Fang said with great envy, "When will my dad be able to live in a nursing home like Uncle Pei?"

He really has had enough of being Mr. Qin.

Such outrageous words made Shen Zhiyi smile. She put on a mask, took the child from Fu Songzhi's arms, and rocked him gently. The child immediately grinned.

Pei Yu was not interested in the child, but because she was holding the child, he looked at her a few more times.

Thinking that he wanted to hold the child, Shen Zhiyi pushed the child towards him as a silent gesture.

"..."

Not wanting to make her think that he hated children, Pei Yu reached out to take it stiffly.

Less than two seconds after the child was brought over, the loud cry of the child echoed throughout the hall.

Qin Fang leaned on Fu Songzhi and laughed loudly, "I said Pei Ge'er is not popular with children, hahaha——"

Many people who saw this scene had the same idea. Children do not know what is beautiful and ugly, and do not know how to give face to others. They are only close to people with gentle looks and temperament.

Pei Yu frowned and looked down at the child coldly. The crying sound coming from his arms became louder and louder.

Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to pick up the child again, and after coaxing the child for a while, the child stopped crying.

She looked at Pei Yu, hooked her fingertips on his, and comforted him silently.

In fact, it’s not that Pei Yu is unpopular with children. For example, Duan Jiaze liked him the first time he saw him. It may be that Qin Fang’s son just doesn’t get along with him, or it may be that the child is too young and doesn’t like people with cold looks.

Pei Yu showed no expression.

There is no need to be sad, he is not his son.

And just as Shen Zhiyi thought, with Duan Jiaze as a positive example, Pei Yu felt that it must not be his problem.
