My cousin asked me to go to Wuha, and Hanikezi stuck to me.

The blinding headlights instantly turned the entire alleyway a stark white.

Chen Yi grabbed Hanikezi's wrist with his other hand and pulled it back forcefully.

The two quickly retreated into a narrow, dark alleyway next to them, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

Three black minivans braked suddenly at the alley entrance, their tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground.

The car door was roughly pulled open, and seven or eight men wearing work badges jumped out.

The fat man at the head of the group was holding a high-definition live-streaming camera with a red light on.

"Where are they?! I clearly saw a man and a woman standing here just now!"

The fat man shouted.

Chen Yi pressed Hanikezi against the rough brick wall, turned around, and braced himself against the wall with one hand, completely covering her in front of him.

Hanikezi pressed her hands against Chen Yi's chest, breathing rapidly.

The footsteps outside grew closer, and the blue panel in my mind flashed wildly.

"【Beginner Level of Disguise】Extreme Refraction Mode Activated!"

"The lighting in the current area has been reconstructed, creating an absolute visual blind spot!"

The fat man, holding a camera, walked directly to the entrance of the dark alley, the red dot of the lens pointed directly at Chen Yi's back.

Hanikezi closed her eyes, her fingers gripping the hem of Chen Yi's clothes tightly.

Chen Yi lowered his head, his chin almost brushing against her forehead.

"Don't make a sound," Chen Yi said in a very low voice.

The fat man peered into the alley, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Boss Zhou said that if anyone manages to capture them together in a photo today, the bonus will be doubled! Everyone, look carefully!"

The fat man yelled into the walkie-talkie.

A skinny man came over, holding a powerful flashlight.

The beam of the flashlight swept back and forth in the alley, the beam grazing Chen Yi's shoes several times.

"Boss, the alley is a dead end, it's pitch black inside, there's nothing there."

The skinny man pointed in the direction where Chen Yi was standing.

In their vision and through their lenses, all they saw were piles of messy discarded cardboard boxes.

The fat man swore.

"Damn it! That figure just now was definitely Chen Yi!"

The fat man turned and walked out. "Go check the security footage at the seafood stalls up ahead! Quickly!"

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the sound of car engines resumed as the three vehicles quickly drove away from the block.

The alleyway returned to silence.

Hanikezi opened her eyes and gasped for breath.

Chen Yi released his hand from the wall and took a half step back.

"Let's go," Chen Yi said.

Hanikezi leaned against the wall, her legs feeling a little weak.

"Are they Mr. Zhou's men?"

Hanikezi asked.

"He brought his live-streaming equipment and sprayed it directly onto my face; no one else would make such a big show of it."

Chen Yi patted the dust off his clothes.

"Is he insane?!"

Hanikezi raised her voice, "Arresting people on the street and broadcasting it live?"

"He couldn't stop the approval of the five-ha program, and he was warned by the State Administration of Radio and Television, so he could only start with his private life."

Chen Yi looked at the alley entrance, "As long as the live broadcast is broadcast, even if it's just us standing together, the marketing accounts can instantly dominate the trending topics."

Hanikezi patted her chest, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

"That camera was practically right up to your back."

Hanikezi looked up at him. "They didn't even see it?"

"The alley is too dark, and their eyesight is poor."

Chen Yi made up a reason on the spot.

Hanikezi didn't delve into it. She looked at the cramped surroundings and then at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi raised his hand and naturally placed it on her shoulder, leading her away from the wall.

"Were you scared?"

Chen Yi asked.

Hanikezi shook her head, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up.

"What are you laughing at?"

Chen Yi frowned.

"I wasn't laughing at anything," Hanikezi said, covering her mouth with her hand, her shoulders twitching.

"Is hiding from paparazzi funny?"

Chen Yi lowered his hand.

"I just feel..." Hanikezi lowered her hand, her eyes sparkling, "Even though I'm doing something thieving, it feels exciting."

Chen Yi was speechless.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to your hotel."

Chen Yi walked out of the dark alley.

The two walked back along the street.

To avoid paparazzi who might return, Chen Yi specifically chose a small path through a greenbelt without streetlights.

Hanikezi walked on the inside, and Chen Yi walked on the outside.

The two did not hold hands again, but they stood very close to each other, their shoulders occasionally touching.

What time is your flight tomorrow?

Hanikezi asked.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon," Chen Yi replied.

"I'm joining the crew tomorrow morning," Hanikezi kicked a pebble by the roadside. "The director said I need to do a makeup test first, and then I need to learn classical etiquette for half a month."

"Study hard," Chen Yi said.

"Can't you say something nicer?"

Hanikezi glared at him.

"for example?"

"For example, wishing my new drama will be a huge success, or..." Hanikezi paused for a moment, "or saying you'll come to visit the set."

"I've landed two new regular variety show roles, and I still have three more projects to film!"

Chen Yi looked at the road ahead, "I probably won't be able to find the time!"

Hanikezi snorted and quickened her pace.

Chen Yi followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Hanikezi stopped at a stall selling handicrafts and picked up a bracelet made of seashells.

"Is it pretty?"

She held up her wrist for Chen Yi to see.

"What kind of good-looking stuff do you expect for twenty yuan?"

Chen Yi glanced at it.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Hanikezi took out her phone to scan the QR code to pay and put the bracelet on her left wrist.

The two continued walking forward.

"Since President Zhou didn't find any fault with us this time, he definitely won't let this go."

Hanikezi said with concern.

"He has no cards left in his hand."

Chen Yi spoke with certainty.

"What do you mean?"

"He can't stop the approval of Wuha, Qin Yu's career has collapsed, and he can't ruin the Golden Melody Awards nomination."

Chen Yi analyzed the situation, saying, "He's desperate now, that's why he's resorting to such underhanded tactics."

"What if he tries to sabotage your business?"

"The annual endorsement contract with the domestic brand is already signed, and the penalty for breach of contract is 80 million yuan, which he cannot afford to pay."

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "Just mind your own business. Once you join the crew, eat less of the crew's boxed lunches."

"Mind your own business!"

Hanikezi refuted this.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the side gate of the resort.

This is the staff entrance; there are no tourists or paparazzi there.

"I have arrived."

Hanikezi stopped in her tracks.

Chen Yi stood three steps away, his hands in his pockets.

"Go in."

Chen Yi raised his chin.

Hanikezi turned around and took two steps forward.

She suddenly stopped and turned around.

Chen Yi was still standing there, watching her.

Hanikezi gritted her teeth, suddenly turned around, and ran back to Chen Yi.

Before Chen Yi could react, Hanikezi had already stood on tiptoe.

A faint aroma of coconut milk wafted over.

Something soft touched Chen Yi's right cheek quickly.

Instantly separate.

"The interest on this meal!"

Hanikezi left those words behind and turned to run away.

She ran extremely fast, without even turning her head, and rushed straight into the iron gate of the employee passage.

She stopped and looked out through the railing.

Chen Yi was still standing under the streetlight.

"Go back now!"

Hanikezi waved to him.

"I'll leave after you go in!"

Chen Yi didn't move.

Hanikezi covered her burning face, turned around and ran into the lobby.

Chen Yi stood still, took his right hand out of his pocket, and touched his right cheek.

There seemed to be a little warmth left there.

In my mind, a blue virtual screen popped up instantly, bursting with an extremely dazzling red light.

"Ding!"

"Detected physical intimate contact between the female protagonist and the police!"

"Target's favorability rating has exceeded the threshold!"

Current favorability rating: 91 (Bound by fate)!

"The 'Sweet Promise' side quest is successfully completed!"

"The mission reward has been sent to your inventory."

Chen Yi looked at the numbers on the panel, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
