Miss me?

  In the luxurious suite of Hong Xuan Hotel, Lin Peipei was savoring the delicious seafood with big mouthfuls, her hands were busy fighting a crab and she didn't care about the conversation topics of several men beside her.

  Tonight, everyone gathered to discuss the karting team formation. Lin Peipei arrived and declared beforehand that she was only there to eat and drink, leaving other matters for the men to decide, just tell her the final result later. Afterwards, they indulged in eating with great relish.

  The karting team's affairs were going according to plan, with Hei Lao Da taking full responsibility on Lin Pei Pei's side. She didn't care about the specifics, as long as she had helped find the right people initially. Hei Lao Da was more than happy to take charge, and Zhou Jun Yi wouldn't mind who was behind it all, as long as someone was there to get things done. Pei Jian was also present, his identity special, representing not only the official opinion but also Lin Pei Pei's stance. After the karting team was established, he would scrutinize the operational details to see if there were any sensitive areas that might cause trouble for Lin Pei Pei in the future. At this moment, he sat beside Lin Pei Pei, watching Hei Lao Da busily chatting with Zhou Jun Yi while also helping Lin Pei Pei peel shrimp, a subtle gloominess rising between his eyebrows.

  As he walked into the luxurious suite, Hei Lao Da sensed a protective and defensive intention emanating from Pei Jian's body. With the sensitivity of one man to another, he detected an unusual emotion that even Pei Jian himself was not aware of. The spark in their eyes when they first met crackled with intensity for a moment. Afterwards, Hei Lao Da observed Lin Pei Pei's attitude towards Pei Jian and confirmed that this position beside the goddess was not his to take, nor would it be yours, you little brat. So he let go of his hostility towards Pei Jian, figuring that being polite to someone who helps Pei Pei wouldn't hurt anyway.

  That side, Pei Jian didn't know about Hei Lao Da's change of heart, but he felt uneasy seeing Hei Lao Da's enthusiastic behavior. If he wanted to stop him, he had no grounds or reason, and following Hei Lao Da would be the same, it was also embarrassing to say. Moreover, if he also helped Lin Pei Pei serve tea and water, it would seem too deliberate and pretentious. So, he held back his frustration with nowhere to vent.

  Lin Pei stuffed her mouth with shrimp and crab meat, and caught a glimpse of Pei Jian's somewhat depressed expression on the side. She thought he was not used to this kind of occasion and was a bit awkward, so she picked up a large shrimp, peeled off its shell and put it in his bowl.

  "Pei Jian, don't be polite, what are you staring at? Eat the shrimp! The people sitting here aren't outsiders, Hei Ge is my brother. Although he used to do some shady things, now he's completely clean and doing legitimate business, absolutely won't get involved in anything shady again, right Hei Ge... Don't tell me you've got your old habits back."

  "Don't worry! I've taken your words to heart, rest assured that the money I have now is all earned through hard work and is absolutely clean!"

  Hei Lao Da hastily patted his chest as soon as Lin Peipei mentioned his name. Lin Peipei gave him a reassuring glance and continued, "This week, boss, although we don't meet often, I regard him as an older brother, he's also a straightforward person, you don't need to be polite with him either. And then there's Baozi Ge, they're all our own people, don't be too formal. This seafood is best eaten hot, so let's eat first and talk later."

  Pei Jian saw her call Hei Lao Da "brother" and help him peel the shrimp, the gloomy look on his face disappeared, and he slowly livened up. Soon, everyone at the table was chatting.

  Finally, the karting team's affairs were settled. Zhou Junyi was in charge of the venue, Hei Lao Da managed personnel, and the operating funds were divided into three parts. Zhou Junyi and Hei Lao Da each took one share, and one share belonged to Lin Peipei, but her funds were covered by Hei Lao Da. Lin Peipei had no objection to other matters, but as soon as she heard that the investment money was provided by Hei Lao Da, she immediately became unhappy.

  "Hei Ge, are you intentionally trying to make me lose sleep and appetite? If you take this money out, how will others look at me, how will they look at our family? Are you not going to let me be a human being?! I'm telling you, don't underestimate Sister P! I'm now a rich person, I sold my paintings abroad and earned this amount." Lin Pei Pei stretched out her slender fingers in front of Hei Lao Da's eyes, waving them back and forth until Hei Lao Da's eyes blurred and his mind went dizzy, really wanting to reach out and grasp the small soft hand under those jade-like fingers.

  "How much? 200,000?" The leopard cat came over and learned from Lin Pei Pei to ask with two fingers.

  "Clever! However, it's not RMB, but Euros."

  "What! Euros! Granny, can't you see that these 200,000 will be worth over a million when they appreciate? Your paintings are too valuable! Hurry up and sign one for me, so I can worship it at home."

  "Go! Go to the side, don't blindly join in!" The leopard was being chased away by Hei Lao Da while searching for paper and pen everywhere. "Peipei, brother knows you're not short of money, but this is what brother thinks: although this go-kart team thing was proposed by Zhou Laoban, without you running around, it wouldn't have worked out either. This share is yours to deserve, besides, didn't I say that my money is your money? You don't help me spend some of it and I'll be stuck with it, can't even grow flowers from it! And put that bit of money in brother's hands, I'll increase its value for you, how about that?"

  "Brother Hei, putting the money with you to increase its value is something I can consider, but don't try to persuade me on this matter of shares, no matter what, I won't agree. If you don't want to be chased and killed by those two big cats in my house, then stop insisting. This matter, either it's settled like this or I'll just quit altogether."

  Hei Lao Da saw her determination and didn't insist on helping her with the money, Zhou Junyi on the side couldn't intervene, could only watch. Now this karting team is ready to go, just waiting for the right moment, when those kids are trained by Lin Peipei.

  Bai Jian sent Lin Peipei to her doorstep, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Lin Haotian leaning against the door frame watching them. Bai Jian and Lin Haotian knew each other, so they exchanged a few pleasantries before driving off. As soon as Bai Jian left, Lin Haotian looked at Lin Peipei with a slanted gaze, his mouth curled up in a playful smile.

  "Sister, okay! So quickly captured the brightest diamond king of the Criminal Investigation Department, I think Qin Feng knew it and would be anxious to death."

  "What? Brother Feng isn't here so I'm not allowed to know other humans? Don't forget he's still an intern, hasn't been made official yet, dare to have an opinion?"

  Lin Pei Pei pulled her brother's arm and walked home, pulling Lin Hao Tian's teasing away with a light tone.

  "Of course I don't dare, but to be honest, I also want to see that guy jump around. Sister, you can try to get to know more different humans and let him jump, see if he can jump all the way to Mars."

  "Brother, this proposal of yours is not bad, I'll consider it."

  Alas, these two wicked siblings, can Qin Feng, who is far away in the training camp, feel a sense of crisis?

  The phone on the table rang. Lin Haotian, who was wiping his hair with a towel, pressed the answer button and Qin Feng's thick, magnetic voice came from the receiver.

  "Hey! You finally know to call your brother, won't be having too much fun over there, huh?" Lin Hao Tian pulled up a chair and sat down, putting his feet on the computer desk in front of him, and started chatting with his brother over the phone.

  "How could this be? I'm not even free to call you now. You're still not satisfied, and I haven't even found someone to talk to, Peipei."

  "Then hurry up and call, Peipei has just come back too, at this time she might be taking a bath. I'm fine here, I can handle everything, you just focus on the training camp, don't make me lose face, at least fight for first place... by the way, I want to tell you something, do you know Pei Jian from the criminal investigation department? Tonight, Peipei asked him to send her back, looking at his expression, he seems to have a crush on Peipei, do you feel threatened?"

  Lin Haotian finished his serious talk and started to stir up trouble, making a mess of the peaceful atmosphere. At this moment, he was laughing with a sly face, as if he saw his brother's awkward expression on the other end of the phone.

  "I don't have a sense of crisis, I have confidence in Pepe."

  On the other end of the phone, Qin Feng's tone was calm and steady, without a hint of tremble in his voice.

  "You're confident in Peipei, but are you confident in yourself? Don't say I didn't warn you, this woman's mind is quite changeable. If you don't grasp it tightly, who knows when she'll fly out of your control? Do you want me to help you two?" Lin Hao Tian continued to add fuel to the fire.

  "Thanks, you can save those two moves for your wooden beauty, brother, I won't trouble you with it."

  "Really don't want to? Alright then, I won't bother, I won't take up your precious time, hurry up and call your Peipei."

  Lin Haotian saw Qin Feng not responding on the other end of the phone, so he hung up and smiled slyly in his sleeve. I'll see how you can still be calm and unhurried this time, hurry up and think of a way to get my sister to marry me! So, Brother Lin, could it be that you've also eaten your family's wooden beauty?

  Lin Pei Pei had just stepped out of the bathroom when she heard the beautiful harmonica sound coming from the phone on her bed. With a premonition, she rushed to the bed and picked up the call. On the other end was a sweet and gentle voice that made her heart flutter.

  "Hey, dear Brother Feng, have you ever thought about me being as beautiful as a flower, loved by everyone, and blooming like a flower? Someone is really missing you."

  At this time, if Wen Jia were here, he would definitely rush up and pinch the demon who was frozen to death with his mouth open, shouting, "You bastard, get normal for me!" However, Qin Feng on the other end of the phone was very pleased. He hummed a few times and also came out with an unkind word.

  "Think! Think until your throat hurts."

  "What? A sore throat and aching eyes? How novel! I've heard of people thinking so hard their heart, liver, spleen, and lungs ache, but I've never heard of anyone thinking so hard their throat and eyes ache. Brother Feng, you're not just humoring me, are you?"

  Lin Pei was interrupted by Qin Feng and didn't continue the awkward greeting that made people's skin crawl, instead she chatted casually with Qin Feng over the phone.

  The moonlight outside the window is like water, and the treetops that stretch out from the window frame sway back and forth in the silver-white moonlight, casting a few faint shadows. The wind blows from afar, passing through the dense leaves to dispel the sweltering heat, then sweeps across the thin window screens, slowly blowing into the room, peeking at the people inside who are building bridges of invisible radio waves, whispering their innermost thoughts to each other. After scanning the room in a circle, it blows out of the window again, carrying the white gauze with it, fluttering and rippling out layer upon layer of waves.

  Outside, in the distant grass, unknown insects hummed softly in the moonlight, as if they felt the emotions between the two people and resonated with them. In the dark night sky, countless stars twinkled, and in the farthest place, there were two brightest stars shining together, flashing alternately, never tired.
