Mr. Pei! Don't force yourself into circles you can't fit into.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Before the male customer next to me could react, a slap landed on my face.

"Slap—!" The sound of the slap was crisp and loud.

The girl sitting next to him stood up angrily, "Shameless!"

After saying that, he picked up his bag, turned around, and left.

The man glared fiercely at Shen Jicheng. "Are you looking for trouble?" But he couldn't afford to argue with him; he covered his face and hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Feifei! Let me explain!"

Shen Jicheng blinked innocently, silently sighing to himself: Look at how fickle this couple is. They were laughing and talking just a moment ago, and now they're all talking and laughing.

There's a saying that goes something like that.

Humans are the most fickle beings.

He turned his gaze to another table of customers, offering what he thought was a polite smile, "Hello..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other person waved their hands and shook their head repeatedly, as if they had seen a plague god, saying, "Never seen it before, never seen it before."

Shen Jicheng then turned to look to the side. The people around him quickly backed away, avoiding him as if they were in a hurry.

So, only one person remained sitting steadily in the booth, completely still.

The man was wearing a black tailored suit, his long legs casually crossed, leaning back lazily in his chair, slowly swirling a wine glass in his hand. Even when Shen Jicheng walked right up to him, he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if it were none of his business.

Shen Jicheng steadied his voice and smiled as he spoke, "Sir, have you seen him before?"

Pei Lin slowly raised his eyes. He casually looked at the person in front of him, his gaze sweeping over the face, lingering on the rosy lips for a few seconds, before casually moving away.

"Not only have I seen it," he said calmly, "it's still with me."

Shen Jicheng was secretly pleased, but before he could reply, the other person continued.

"But how can you prove that what I have is yours? After all, quite a few people have come to claim it in the past few days."

Shen Jicheng immediately became alert: A lot of people? No wonder no one had come looking for him; he had been intercepted?

That won't do!

He quickly interjected, "I can vouch for it! I bought it from an adult store on Beijiang Road! You can check if you don't believe me!"

Pei Lin didn't respond to that, lightly tapping the rim of his glass with his fingertips, a hint of amusement in his voice, "Oh? A sex shop? Does this gentleman have that kind of fetish?"

Shen Jicheng: "..."

How did this come about? He doesn't have any particular fetish; he just heard that Young Master Pei likes pink and delicate colors, so he just catered to his taste.

But denying it now wouldn't make sense, so he could only nod vaguely, "Uh... sort of?"

Pei Lin wore a helpless and regretful expression, and sighed, "To be honest, I've been looking for the owner of those underwear. That night, he really captivated me, and I can't forget him. If it weren't for his unexpected intervention, I'd probably have fallen into someone else's trap by now."

He paused, then his tone became serious, "When I find him, I must thank him properly."

Shen Jicheng's eyes darted around, and his heart immediately leaped with joy. Did this mean the other party considered him their savior? Did they think someone else had given them the drug?

He quickly followed up, "So how do you plan to thank him?"

A deep glint flashed in Pei Lin's dark eyes. "Thank you..."

He chuckled softly, looked up at Shen Jicheng, a gentle smile on his lips, "Of course, I want to express my sincerest gratitude. I just don't know... what he wants."

Shen Jicheng's eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out, "I'm the person you're looking for."

But then the other person added unhurriedly, "But it's okay, I'll find him soon. Tonight at the hotel, I'll meet with the people who came to claim their underwear. Then, I'll ask him myself."

Shen Jicheng immediately became anxious, "But how can you tell the difference?!"

Don't mistake it for something else!

Pei Lin chuckled lightly, "It's not difficult, I have my own way."

After saying that, he changed the subject, his gaze landing on Shen Jicheng, "By the way, you just said these underwear are yours. To be fair, why don't you come to the hotel tonight, sir?"

He smiled gently, as if extending a perfectly ordinary invitation.

Shen Jicheng hesitated only for a moment before agreeing. Anyway, he wasn't afraid; he was the real deal, and it was the imposters who should feel guilty.

So, Shen Jicheng went directly to the hotel with Pei Lin.

Before getting into the car, Pei Lin asked with a smile,

"What is your name, sir?"

Shen Jicheng thought for a moment and gave a false name, "Shi Jiaming".

It's not entirely fake; he used this name back in junior and senior high school. At the time, his family created an inconspicuous identity for him to protect him and prevent him from being targeted by bad people.

Pei Lin smiled and opened the car door for him. "Mr. Shi, please come in."

Shen Jicheng was used to being waited on since he was a child, so he got into the car as a matter of course and didn't feel anything was wrong.

He thought to himself: This Pei Lin doesn't seem as scary as people say. All that ruthless and unpredictable methods? Look at that smile, so warm and kind.

At this point, his opinion of the fearsome Second Master Pei completely changed.

We arrived at the hotel.

Shen Jicheng followed Pei Lin into a presidential suite. He looked around curiously; wasn't this the room he had slept in that night?

As he was observing, Pei Lin approached, holding a black ribbon in his hand. His tone remained gentle.

"Mr. Shi, please cover your eyes and sit here for a while. What we're about to do may be a reenactment of what happened that night."

Shen Jicheng was taken aback, and was about to refuse, "This..."

Pei Lin calmly continued to explain, "I'm truly sorry. I was not fully conscious that night and couldn't determine who my benefactor was. I used this method to quickly ascertain who could accept it and who couldn't."

He paused, his meaningful gaze sweeping over Shen Jicheng's hesitant face, and said, word by word...

"Those who can accept it are not necessarily my benefactors, but those who cannot accept it are definitely not. What do you think, Mr. Shi?"

Shen Jicheng: "..."

Fine, let the scene repeat itself. We've already slept together once, and now it's a crucial moment; we can't afford to mess things up.

"Alright then..."

He sat on the bed and waited patiently. Pei Lin smiled and tied a black ribbon around his neck, telling him to sit for a moment before turning and leaving the room.

The smile on Pei Lin's face vanished the moment the door closed.

In the corridor, his voice was cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion as he gave his orders.

"Bring me a cup of water with the same amount of medicine as last time."

"Prepare five more boxes of Durex."
