Yunzhi truly believed this.

Although Yun Zhi had previously seemed to want to take shortcuts due to the requirements of the mission.

But didn't she later decide she didn't want to seduce him anymore?

Now that's settled, Qi Li has been pretending for so long, and once she's put her mind at ease, he's started to take action.

Zhao Xiao wanted to sigh as she listened: "How will he get revenge on you?"

Is this how you retaliate against someone who gives you a role, resources, and paves the way for you?

If Zhao Xiao hadn't known that Yun Zhi was incredibly busy lately and had no time for anyone else, she would have suspected that Yun Zhi had secretly hitched a ride on Qi Li's ship, making him so infatuated that he was practically throwing himself at her.

Yunzhi couldn't explain it, but her mouth hurt a lot.

She said, feeling wronged, "It's just revenge."

Yun Zhi couldn't possibly knock on his door in the middle of the night, try to seduce him, kick him out, and then get scolded by Qi Li after he realized what was happening, could she?

He came in and kissed her without giving her a chance to refuse, which caused Xie Yuan to find out, and now she's going to be scolded by her manager.

Qi Li is a bad guy!

Because she almost ruined his reputation, he now wants to tarnish her reputation as well.

That's way too much!

Zhao Xiao: "..."

Zhao Xiao was speechless.

She had no way to deal with Yun Zhi, so she could only go outside to see if anyone could get some ointment for Yun Zhi to apply.

The lounge had barely been quiet for a short while when people came in again.

Pei Ran paused slightly as he entered.

Yunzhi has a small frame, and her face is barely bigger than the palm of her hand. When she slumps on the lounge chair, she looks like a tiny little ball curled up there.

Because her entire body was so pure and white, when she held the ice, her two full and moist lips looked like crushed flower petals, their color so vibrant that it seemed as if a little force would be enough to squeeze out sweet nectar.

"Zhizhi," his voice sounded a little gentle, with a hint of concern, "What's wrong with your mouth?"

Yunzhi was startled and immediately let go of the ice pack in her hand.

She was about to reach for it in a panic when a hand reached out and caught the ice pack first.

"Be careful." The young man's voice was completely emotionless as he warned. "Here."

"Ah, thank you..."

Yun Zhi was a little dazed as she watched Pei Ran kneel in front of her. He naturally took Yun Zhi's hand and placed the small bag of ice in her palm.

"You're welcome."

Pei Ran slightly moved the corners of her mouth, as if she were smiling.

Pei Ran is the actress who co-starred with Yun Zhi in "The Crime," and is also another major character in the film.

Qi Li, with a gentle temperament, plays the upright police officer, while Pei Ran, who looks somewhat gloomy, plays the genius criminal.

Unlike the criminal in the drama who unscrupulously reveals his dark side, Pei Ran in real life is obviously much more reserved.

Pei Ran was thin and always had a slightly hunched back, as if he was always ready to shrink into an unknown shell.

His hair was a bit long, hanging softly over his forehead.

After he stopped making movies, he didn't cut his hair for a while, which almost covered most of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look non-aggressive and even somewhat timid.

No one would have guessed that this person would be the one in the movie who controls a vast criminal empire, a cunning, greedy, and reckless madman who would not hesitate to put himself in danger for things that interest him.

"Long time no see, Zhizhi," he said softly, still kneeling.

Pei Ran gently placed Yun Zhi's hand in his own palm.

The ice pack brought a chill to my skin, while the back of my hand was warmed by Pei Ran's palm.

Pei Ran has a pair of very deep, dark eyes, which are usually lowered, making him appear gentle and harmless.

But once he raised his head, there was no emotion in his eyes that belonged to a normal person; they were like a bottomless dry well, exuding an almost inorganic emptiness.

He never focused his gaze on people; his eyes were always somewhat unfocused. Yet, every time Yun Zhi met his gaze, she felt as if she were being stared at by some monster lurking in the shadows.

Especially now that there's no one in the lounge except the two of them.

That terrifying feeling of being swallowed whole at any moment began to gently lick Yunzhi's skin again.

"It hasn't been that long," Yun Zhi said softly, like a cat caught by the scruff of its neck, too afraid to move, "less than a week..."

"It is a long time," Pei Ran said, pursing her lips slightly. "Five days is a long time."

He raised his head, his deep, pool-like eyes reflecting Yun Zhi's image: "Zhi Zhi... I miss you so much."

"Do you miss me, Zhizhi?" he asked.

"I want to...I want to..." Yun Zhi stammered.

Pei Ran said in a low voice, "Liar."

"5 days, 12 hours, and 47 minutes. During this time, you never clicked into my chat window even once."

Yun Zhi: "..."

Yun Zhi dared not continue speaking.

She tried to pull her hand back, but failed.

Pei Ran pressed his cheek against Yun Zhi's soft, delicate thigh without anyone noticing, wrapped his arms around Yun Zhi's waist, and buried himself in Yun Zhi's embrace.

Yun Zhi froze.

His breathing was quiet, eerily quiet.

His breath was low and hot, brushing against the exposed skin between Yunzhi's legs.

When Pei Ran embraced Yun Zhi, he didn't look like a human, but rather like some kind of python.

Silently and imperceptibly, it binds people until they are completely suffocated or become one with them.

At this moment, Pei Ran's expression vaguely overlapped with that of a genius criminal in a movie.

Pei Ran is not a professional actor; in fact, "The Crime" was his first film.

According to what Yunzhi found out, Pei Ran had never been involved in the entertainment industry before filming "Sin".

His background is as mysterious as he is; he was personally invited by Xie Yuan and is someone who can stand on equal footing with Xie Yuan.

There are even rumors that the character played by Pei Ran in the movie "The Crime" was inspired by Pei Ran herself.

What actor could portray a character better than the real person they are?

However, none of this had anything to do with Yun Zhi.

The reason she felt so guilty was naturally because—

Before the movie ended, Yunzhi also tried to seduce him.
