Zhan Bei Jue knew he was penniless now, and before letting him off the car, he thoughtfully gave him an airplane ticket.
It was for 5:40 PM, with a few hours to spare.
Peng Fei stood alone on the street, looking at the scenes that were both familiar and strange to him. After much hesitation, he dialed Chen Dong Yang's number.
Upon learning that he was out, and that Zhan Bei Jue himself had arranged for his release, Chen Dong Yang was also very shocked.
But beyond the shock, he also felt relieved for him.
It meant that in Zhan Bei Jue's eyes, his issues with Chun Chun were completely over.
Deep down, Zhan Bei Jue still had some feelings for Peng Fei.
"What are your plans now? Are you really going back home?"
Peng Fei wanted to say, what else could he do if he didn't go back home? Even if he was willing to work hard and stay in Nancheng, he would never see Chun Chun again.
Silence was his answer.
Chen Dong Yang was also silent for a moment on the other end.
"Peng Fei, I'll ask you one thing, can you guarantee that you truly love Chun Chun? Love her so much that you can't live without her, and will never look for anyone else?"
Peng Fei wished he could kneel and swear to the heavens.
Besides Zhan Jing Chun, there had never been anyone else in his heart. Not before, and never in the future!
Zhan Jing Chun was like an angel to him. To have been blessed with an angel was a fortune he had accumulated over lifetimes. How could he possibly...?
"Good, with your words, I will dare to make a decision for you both. After all, Tian Tian and I went through the same thing. Take this address. Whether you can win her back next depends on you."
Looking at the address he sent, Zhan Jing Chun's current address, Peng Fei stared for a few seconds before squatting by the roadside and crying.
He could see Chun Chun again, finally he could!
Heaven knew how he had endured the year he couldn't contact her.
Although he worked every day, his mind was filled with her constantly.
He missed her so much, so, so, so much!
Even if seeing her one more time would cost him ten years of his life, fifty years, or getting beaten to death by Zhan Bei Jue if he found out, he would still rush forward without hesitation if he had this chance!
Peng Fei had no money on him, but he drove for hours using navigation, walking to the villa district.
It was another villa belonging to the Zhan family. It wasn't as secluded as Nanshan Villa, but the scenery was beautiful, and there were many cars coming and going.
Chen Dong Yang had only given him a general address. He couldn't get in, and he didn't know the specific house number, but just knowing that Chun Chun was inside, and waiting there, he would eventually see her, which was enough to satisfy him. .oγg
As night fell, Peng Fei, having neither eaten nor drunk, wrapped his jacket tighter around himself and leaned behind a tree to wait, not daring to blink, for fear of missing her in an instant.
Thus, hour after hour passed. Around ten o'clock at night, his persistence paid off. Zhan Jing Chun, wearing casual home clothes and slippers, ambled out.
Peng Fei recognized her from afar. As she walked closer, his heart pounded with nervousness.
After a year of not seeing her, she was still as beautiful. Her hair had grown quite long and was loosely tucked into her hat.
Her mood was indistinguishable. Her face showed no smile, but neither did it show sadness.
She walked along, completely passing Peng Fei by.
Amidst his nervousness and happiness, Peng Fei quickly and cautiously followed her.
He was curious where she was going dressed like this.
Zhan Jing Chun walked quite far, crossing another block, before entering a convenience store.
So she had come out to buy something.
Did the Zhan family have something they lacked? Why didn't they send a nanny with her?
Late at night, a girl, wasn't she afraid of encountering danger?
It was better not to see her, but once he saw her, Peng Fei couldn't help but worry.
After hiding behind the large tree at the entrance for less than a minute, she came out.
To Peng Fei's surprise, Zhan Jing Chun was actually out to buy cigarettes.
With practiced movements, she stood by the trash can near the shop entrance and tore off the outer wrapping paper of the cigarette pack.
Then, she impatiently pulled out a cigarette, bit it, and flicked her lighter.
Her movements were astonishingly skilled.
She would never have smoked before. When did she learn?
Could it be because of him?
Because he had given her too much of a blow?
Peng Fei's heart ached as if it were bleeding at that moment.
He had caused Zhan Jing Chun so much trouble, yet his family didn't hold anything against him.
Such a kind family, he could never repay them even if he worked himself to the bone!
Zhan Jing Chun already had a weak constitution, didn't eat much, and slept poorly. Now, she had also picked up the bad habit of smoking.
Peng Fei hadn't dared to disturb her, but seeing her finish one cigarette and then reach for a second, he couldn't hold back.
Just as Zhan Jing Chun put the cigarette to her lips, he dashed out and took it from her hand.
"Stop smoking."
Suddenly someone rushing towards her startled Zhan Jing Chun.
When she looked closely and saw it was Peng Fei, her shock quickly turned to anger.
"What are you doing here?"
"How did you know I was here?"
"Following me? What do you want? Peng, are you tired of living?"
Peng Fei knew that Zhan Jing Chun didn't want to see him and resented him, but...
"Chun Chun..."
"Shut up! Who allowed you to call me Chun Chun? Do I know you? Are you worthy? Answer my question, why are you here? What do you want?"
The two stood in the middle of the road. Passersby glanced at them curiously.
Peng Fei didn't care about being watched, but Zhan Jing Chun was dressed like this, holding a cigarette.
"Let's talk over there."
He reached out to grab Zhan Jing Chun's arm, but she dodged him.
"Don't touch me, stay away from me!"
Peng Fei dared not touch her. "Okay, okay, I won't touch you, but please don't be angry. I wasn't following you, I have no ill intentions..."
"Not following me? Then how is it such a coincidence that you also appear here? Could it be that the great idol Peng has made a name for himself and bought a house nearby?"
Peng Fei was stunned for a moment.
Did she know about his entry into the entertainment industry?
Did she also know about him posting videos?
"Chun Chun..."
Zhan Jing Chun shouted at him again, "I told you not to call me Chun Chun, don't you understand? What do you want? Say it directly, I don't have time to waste with you! Where is your girlfriend? Does she know you came to find me? Or is it that you've suddenly fallen from grace, your girlfriend doesn't want to be with you anymore, so you've come looking for me?"
She indeed knew about everything he had gone through. Could it be that she was silently concerned about him?
Peng Fei suddenly felt a morbid happiness.
"She's not my girlfriend. Wang Li is not my girlfriend. If you are still angry with me because of her, then I will explain."
Zhan Jing Chun laughed at him in anger.
"When you were at the height of your fame in the entertainment industry, you didn't remember me. When you had someone else by your side, you didn't remember me either. Now that you're down and out, your girlfriend has left, and you remember me? And you've come to explain to me? You're really something else."
"Peng, just because I was forced to be with you for a few days back then, you think I must accept you, this piece of trash, for life?"
"Whenever you decide to come back, I must accept you, and whenever you decide to leave, I have to let you go?"
