Watching Zhao Yuanhu run out of the room with a flushed face after their argument, Pei Yan knew for sure that the other party had feelings for him. Feeling satisfied and elated, Pei Yan wasn't in a hurry to pursue further; there were more important matters awaiting his attention.
He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs, just in time to meet Pei Jin serving the dishes. Pei Yan hurried forward, taking the food from his sister's hands, and asked, "What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?" He feared he had overslept and missed his rendezvous with Shitang Longsi.
"It's four in the afternoon now. You came back after a restless night and slept until now." Pei Jin wiped her greasy hands with a tissue and teased her brother, "Eat up; I knew you'd be hungry when you woke up. What did you say to Zhao Yuanhu? She was so flustered, she ran back without even speaking to me."
