Chapter 241: 238 Overnight Stay

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

Getting out of the car and looking at the white villa in front, Jiang Chen grew more convinced of this.

The favorability had already reached 40.

You see.

This was only his second meeting with Pei Yunxi!

Such progress, to some extent, was almost faster than with Li Shuru!

Therefore.

Often, one should not be intimidated by their imagination; no matter how high and unreachable the goal may seem, the most important thing is to try and strive for it!

"Come in,"

After the assistant dropped the two off, he quickly drove away without asking anything superfluous.

What does professionalism mean?

This was it.

Pei Yunxi opened the door.

Just like the last time he was there, the villa was very quiet and deserted, with no housekeeper.

In fact, for a single woman to shelter a man overnight is quite risky, let alone when that woman is a famously beautiful star.

Of course.

This doesn’t mean Pei Yunxi is duplicitous, that her true nature is completely different from her on-screen persona, that her personal life is messy, or that she lacks a sense of crisis.

It’s just that tonight’s situation is somewhat special.

This young man had done her a favor.

Not in retrieving this lost-and-found piece of jewelry.

But in preserving her dignity.

Furthermore.

No matter what his background might be, after all, he was still a senior in college, and also her sister’s schoolmate.

Because of this connection, Pei Yunxi subconsciously didn’t guard herself too deeply against Jiang Chen.

If it were another man, she definitely wouldn’t have done this.

"Take a seat, what would you like to drink?"

Pei Yunxi turned on the light.

The spacious villa instantly became brightly lit.

"Milk, please,"

Jiang Chen replied as he came in.

Even though it was a banquet, he hadn’t really eaten much, and besides, milk could also help sober him up.

Even if he had succeeded in getting close to his target, at times like this, he needed to be even more composed.

Milk?

Pei Yunxi paused in her steps toward the fridge.

Juice, drinks, tea, coffee were all normal requests; it was quite rare for someone to ask for milk when visiting someone else’s home.

Moreover.

She faintly recalled that the nutritious milk she had bought before seemed to have been finished.

Glancing back unconsciously, the leading lady noticed that he had already taken a seat on the couch.

"It looks like there might not be any milk..."

She began to speak but hadn’t finished when, opening the fridge door, she actually saw a row of imported milk neatly arranged on the shelf.

There were also some oddly shaped snacks added to the fridge.

Pei Yunxi hesitated, her brows furrowing slightly, feeling something was odd but not thinking too much of it, and took out a bottle of imported milk.

"Thank you,"

Jiang Chen, ever polite, saw Pei Yunxi approaching with the milk and stood up to take it before sitting back down.

He sat up straight, meticulous, looking even more proper than when he was in the classroom.

"How has Luo Li’er been doing at school recently? She hasn’t caused any trouble, has she?"

Pei Yunxi sat down next to him, her right leg gracefully crossed over the left, maintaining a distance of three body lengths from Jiang Chen—not too far, nor too close.

Her beauty, accentuated by the attire and the time, gave an almost dream-like, unreal quality to the already famous star.

"No, Luo Li’er is very diligent in attending classes every day. Last time, she even asked me to model for her; she loves to study."

Pei Yunxi nodded.

Without a doubt.

The items in the fridge could only have been added by that girl.

Jiang Chen unscrewed the lid of the milk and took a sip.

The luxurious villa was enveloped in silence.

There seemed to be a faint wiff of awkwardness in the air.

Indeed.

One was a student still in college, the other a household name with countless fans.

Sitting together, how could it not be awkward?

"Miss Pei, you’re so busy with work all the time, is Luo Li’er usually home alone?"

They couldn’t just sit there in silence; an opportunity as rare as this couldn’t be missed.

Jiang Chen tried to make conversation.

The only thing they seemed to have in common that might serve as a topic of discussion was the school’s beauty, his sister.

"Basically, yes. Our family sent her to the East Sea for school so that I could take good care of her, but I haven’t managed to do so,"

Pei Yunxi’s face reflected a hint of self-reproach.

"Miss Pei, it’s not really up to you, and besides, Luo Li’er is an adult; she can take care of herself,"

Jiang Chen consoled her.

Pei Yunxi noncommittally asked, "Does Li’er have many friends at school?"

"That... I’m not exactly sure,"

Jiang Chen replied honestly.

"But that question really depends on Luo Li’er herself. If she wants to, I think nobody would be able to refuse to be her friend."

"Oh? That girl has such great charm?"

"Miss Pei, Luo Li’er is considered a potential school beauty at our East University. Setting aside those who may come after, at the very least, there’s nobody quite like her before. If we were to compare East Sea University with the entertainment circle, then her status within the circle would probably be even higher than your current one."

Jiang Chen joked.

Pei Yunxi couldn’t help but smile.

"You mean, the boys at your school all like her quite a bit?"

"Of course."

Jiang Chen, seizing the moment, knew tonight was the best chance to close the distance with his target; if he missed this opportunity, who knew how long he’d have to wait for the next one.

"Not to hide it from you, Miss Pei, but my roommate has pursued Luo Li’er too."

Pei Yunxi looked surprised, clearly intrigued.

"Really? And what happened?"

"Of course it was unsuccessful, Luo underclassman firmly rejected him; she even said if he harassed her again, she would report it to the school, leaving my roommate’s heart in pieces."

"Could it be that your roommate’s conditions... "

"Handsome and dashing."

Jiang Chen cut in without thinking; if Luo Peng heard such praise, he would be deeply moved.

"That seems to suggest Li’er has pretty high standards."

Pei Yunxi laughed.

"That’s for sure, she’s the campus beauty after all. It’s normal for her to have high standards. If she could be easily deceived, Miss Pei, you’d need to start worrying."

Jiang Chen joked.

Pei Yunxi played along seriously, "Then you’ll have to help keep an eye on her for me in the future."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"It’s my bounden duty."

He answered with a righteousness.

Through the "bridge" of Luo Li’er, the relationship between the two had visibly grown closer, at least not as distant as when they first met at the club.

"It’s getting late, you should rest."

Unconsciously, it was nearing early morning.

Pleased with the progress so far, Jiang Chen followed Pei Yunxi upstairs.

"No one has stayed in this room before, take a look. Are you satisfied?"

Pei Yunxi opened the door to a guest room.

Of course, Jiang Chen had no complaints, glanced around casually, and nodded, "Thank you, Miss Pei."

Pei Yunxi smiled, then brought over clean towels and toiletries.

"Good night."

"Good night."

After bidding farewell, Jiang Chen closed the door, looked around the spacious guest room, and slowly exhaled.

The first step is always the hardest.

Initially, when he discovered that the second target he was bound to was Pei Yunxi, he felt shocked, helpless, and even desperate.

But an old saying still holds true,

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

There are always more solutions than problems.

The most difficult first step had clearly been successfully taken; although it was not a deep relationship, at least now to Pei Yunxi, he should be more than just an insignificant person in the vast sea of people.

That was enough.

The heart is insatiable.

One should not be greedy.

At tonight’s charity event, he had already made a killing, not only increasing the goodwill to 40, but also invested three billion!

You should understand.

The second task, aside from the soaring difficulty, also came with a doubled cashback ratio.

Li Shuru was one in ten, and now that the target changed to Pei Yunxi, the cashback ratio became one in five!

In other words, if successful, the three billion spent at the auction would return six hundred million!

Just this income alone could exceed the total return of the first task!

Indeed.

High risk always implies high return!

Jiang Chen clenched his fist; even though he knew that the nation’s dream goddess was right next door, on the same floor, he didn’t entertain any messy thoughts.

Bathe.

Sleep.

-------------

"Sister, you’re home."

The next day.

Morning.

Luo Li’er, who took advantage of the weekend to run back home, entered the house not long ago only to find her cousin coming down from upstairs.

Blinking her big, Kasalan eyes, "Sis, don’t you have to shoot today?"

"My assistant will come to pick me up later."

Pei Yunxi, who always had a strict and regular schedule, headed toward the dining room, "Have you had breakfast?"

Her attire from the previous night had been changed, wearing a white top and brown pencil pants, the simple casual style on the actress still exudes an unmatched charm.

"I’ve eaten."

Pei Yunxi took out bread from the fridge, placed it in the toaster, and then grabbed a bottle of milk.

"Sis, should I steam an egg for you?"

Luo Li’er’s face showed concern.

That’s right.

Although it should be the older sister looking after the younger, in fact, at least in everyday life, it could really be said that Luo Li’er had always been looking after her older sister.

That’s right.

Pei Yunxi belonged to that type of woman who was completely clueless in the kitchen, unable to even recognize a few vegetables.

But considering her looks and status, it seems somewhat understandable.

Although Luo Li’er’s cooking skills weren’t great either, at least they were somewhat better than her cousin’s. Handling simple meals three times a day was no problem.

Of course.

Before she came to East Sea University, she had never stepped foot in the kitchen. However, after coming to East Sea, circumstances forced her to learn on her own; she couldn’t eat takeout for every meal, right?

"No need."

Pei Yunxi looked slightly unnatural, after all, having her younger cousin make breakfast for her was somewhat embarrassing.

"It’s fine, sis, you’ve gotten thinner recently, you need to replenish your nutrients."

Luo Li’er insisted and walked over.

Seeing this, Pei Yunxi didn’t refuse her sister’s kindness any longer, watching Luo Li’er approach the fridge, she suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Then fry a few more eggs."

"Why?"

Luo Li’er turned around, instinctively puzzled.

It’s common knowledge that celebrities manage their figures obsessively, and her cousin had a very small appetite.

"There’s a guest."

Pei Yunxi said softly.

Luo Li’er was stunned, not quite catching on.

"What did you say, sis?"
