Xu Pinyu had never dared to ask herself why she waited.
When she saw him in the suite, she understood immediately.
Just from his back, Xu Pinyu could determine that it was him.
She realized that she had never forgotten his silhouette, and that her heart was plastered with missing persons posters.
Because she still liked him.
Unconscious love, just like thinking of him the moment she closed her eyes before crossing the street.
She had somehow gotten used to the rule of negotiating a reward before making any effort.
But the moment he appeared, she wanted to give him everything she had without asking for anything in return.
So she chose to avoid him at first.
Unfortunately, Xu Pinyu overestimated her hiding skills, and she underestimated how much Shen Youbai cared about her.
Compared to her unwitting longing, he burned with fervent thirst even when he breathed.
Xu Pinyu went out of the suite and quickly walked to the cleaning room at the end, dumping the garbage in her hands into the bin and placing the tray on the shelf.
As she walked towards the elevator, she picked up her earphones and answered a call from the cleaning room.
When she went to press the down button on the elevator, she vaguely heard a door opening and was startled, so she hurriedly turned back and pushed open the door to the fire exit.
However, the sound of high heels echoed down the stairs.

“Xu Pinyu.”
The sudden voice from behind, like a cold wind, froze her in place.
Turning around took less than a second, but her heart skipped a few beats.
Compared to the fading memory of him, the Shen Youbai in front of her was even thinner.
He stood there, his figure tall and slender.
He had completely stripped off the youthful aura, leaving behind an unfathomable sense of maturity that she no longer dared to touch even in her delusions.
Xu Pinyu tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth, but it only made her expression more difficult as she said, “Long time no see.”
When he heard these four words, his gaze suddenly darkened. He was about to take a step forward when the elevator door behind him opened.
A crisp female voice interrupted the conversation they were about to have, “Youbai?”
She came from the elevator, with long legs and a thin waist, a dark purple one-piece dress draped with a soft shoulder, and a full set of jewelry that glittered and dazzled the eyes.
Jiang Yizhen held him affectionately, “Why are you here?”
Shen Youbai’s expression immediately turned cold and unceremoniously pulled his arm away, “Miss Jiang, please…”
“You must give me face in front of outsiders.” Jiang Yizhen interrupted him.
As she spoke, she looked pointedly at Xu Pinyu, who was standing stunned at the foot of the stairs.
Xu Pinyu could tell what she meant, and she came back to her senses and prepared to leave.
But her chest felt like it was being stabbed with fine needles, making her unsteady on her feet. She grabbed the railing for support.
“Xu Pinyu, are you just going to leave like this?”
His voice was clear and echoed in the cold stairwell.
Jiang Yizhen hadn’t understood the situation from the beginning, only sensing something strange in the atmosphere between him and this woman.
When Shen Youbai said these words, she was surprised. He actually remembered the name of a hotel staff member.
Before Jiang Yizhen could feel the crisis, the woman turned and walked up the stairs towards Shen Youbai.
Then, Jiang Yizhen watched her raise her hand.
And she slapped Shen Youbai.
A red mark appeared on his cheek, he tilted his head, momentarily dazed.
Jiang Yizhen opened her mouth, “You!”
At the moment when she was about to explode, Shen Youbai raised his hand to block her without even looking at her.
He stared at Xu Pinyu without blinking and asked her, “If I’m suddenly slapped by you, don’t I deserve an explanation?”
Xu Pinyu’s eyes reddened, and she glared at him. “I wasted my precious time waiting for you. I just gave you a slap to settle things. You should be grateful.”
Shen Youbai thought for half a second, “Yes.”
But Xu Pinyu’s focus was on him acknowledging the term “settle things”.
To settle things meant that they owed each other nothing, and that they would be strangers from now on.
Xu Pinyu dared not to blink, afraid that tears would fall down. “If you want to break up, you should at least make it clear. Do you know how much time you’ve wasted?”
Shen Youbai frowned and said, “When did I say I wanted to break up?”
She became agitated and pointed at Jiang Yizhen, asking him, “Then what is she?”
“She is nothing.” Shen Youbai answered quickly and grabbed her wrist.
He said, “Come with me.”
“No!” She shook off Shen Youbai’s hand with force and instinctively took a step back.
Shen Youbai’s gaze carried a hint of threat as he stared at her. “Since you’re now an employee of the hotel, you must listen to me.”
Xu Pinyu raised her chin and said, “That’s just right. I quit.”
She took out a card from her pocket and angrily threw it at Shen Youbai, shouting in a tone of great grievance, “All of you in this hotel are old perverts who only think about hidden rules anyway!”
Shen Youbai’s gaze fell to the ground along the thing, which was a room card.
He raised his eyes and lowered his voice. “Come here, follow me.”
When she was grabbed by the wrist again, she tried to break free, but Shen Youbai’s expression had darkened to a terrifying level. “Don’t let me say it for the third time.”
Xu Pinyu was stunned and before she could react, she was practically dragged back to his suite.
Shen Youbai dragged her in and pushed her against the wall.
Her breath rushed, and the intense and deep kiss made Xu Pinyu even forget to struggle.
It had been so long since she tasted his mouth, including the faint scent of smoke on him, and it all invaded her senses.
Shen Youbai’s palm rested on the back of her head, and his arm locked her waist.
Pleаse reаd thiʂ trаnʂlation @ stellarisreads.wordpress.com аnd if yoս read this from another ʂite, then it has been ʂtolen.
The hot breath stimulated her pores and made her whole body feel weak.
It was only when the intensity of the deep kiss became more and more entangling, and between the twists and turns of sucking, that she regained some consciousness and sensed the gaze upon her.
She opened her eyes and saw Yuan Qing, who was a few steps away, completely dumbfounded.
Xu Pinyu hurriedly pushed the person in front of her and made some whimpering sounds.
He grabbed her wrist and pinned it behind her back, still entangled with her mouth.
Xu Pinyu turned her head, avoiding his kiss, saying anxiously, “Someone, someone!”
Shen Youbai let go of her lips, turned to face Yuan Qing, and opened the door of the suite.
With a glance, he signaled for her to leave immediately.
Yuan Qing ran out of the room as a reflex, and with a bang, the wind brought by the closing door swept across her face.
She stood still and saw Jiang Yizhen, who was also stunned.
Yuan Qing pursed her lips and immediately put on a professional attitude, “I’m sorry, Miss Jiang, but Mr. Shen is busy right now and it’s not convenient for him to see you.
At the same time when Yuan Qing went out, Xu Pinyu also wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but she was one step behind.
Shen Youbai slammed the door heavily, picked her up, and went to the bedroom to put her on the bed.
The chilling masculine aura pressed down, and as he approached with a gaze fixed on her, uncontrollable tears welled up in Xu Pinyu’s eyes.
Shen Youbai was stunned. What should have been a torrent of lust was suddenly extinguished.
He cuddled up the person in front of him, who was crying to the point of huffing and puffing with the back of her hand blocking her eyes, and let her snuggle in his arms, wanting to grab her hand and look at her.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly pushed him away and sat back on the bed, her skirt wrapping around her thighs.
Xu Pinyu was wearing a formal outfit, her eyes were red, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. She looked at him with an indescribable wicked intent.
But she herself didn’t notice anything.
Xu Pinyu wiped her tears and looked directly at him unwillingly, “Why should you leave whenever you want and come back whenever you want?”
She choked until her voice was blurred. “Do you know, how hard it is, when I feel like a fool waiting for you…”
Shen Youbai lowered his eyes for a moment and looked at her again, “I don’t know.”
The response that was far from expected left Xu Pinyu stunned for a moment.
Shen Youbai looked at her quietly and said, “Logically speaking, I should feel guilty, but in fact, I haven’t thought about these things. When it comes to you, I lack rationality. So how can I stand from an objective perspective and consider your feelings?”
After a pause, he continued, “Maybe what you want to hear is not such an answer, but sooner or later you will find that I’m a selfish person, so I might as well confess first.”
Xu Pinyu still didn’t know how to react, only to hear Shen Youbai say, “In the past five years, I could not contact you, and I also had to restrain my desire for you. As a result, I often stayed up for days on end, hated eating, and relied on nutrient infusion to maintain my life. Although I was forced to undergo psychological therapy, the results were not obvious. Until now, my body is still in a state of extreme fatigue.”
All of his emotions seemed to be hidden in his deep eyes, and he spoke in an extremely calm tone, “I clearly know that the cause of my illness lies in you. If I can’t get you, I can only torture myself.”
Shen Youbai firmly grasped her hand, “I tell you this, the purpose is just…”
He said, “I hope you’ll have mercy on me.”
Xu Pinyu was stunned, and then she started to cry and hunched her shoulders.
Shen Youbai gently pulled her hand, “Then hold me tightly.”
She then leaned forward and threw herself into his chest, tightly embracing him.
Shen Youbai pressed her back against him and leaned over to her ear, “I hope you will tell me that you really miss me and ask me if I can always stay by your side and not go anywhere.”
Xu Pinyu couldn’t stop sobbing and couldn’t speak.
He lowered his head and buried it in her neck, “I will say, okay, this is very simple. I promise you.”
In the competition of who could fall deeper, she had lost miserably.
