Chapter 591 Reflection
Forgot... what?
Bai Yuan was confused.
Even after Wen Yiche left, this question lingered in her mind.
Even in the days that followed, he would often think of Bai Jun's reminder.
I feel like I've indeed forgotten something.
Bai Yuan was deep in thought.
He quickly came to terms with it.
If you can't remember, it must be something unimportant.
Therefore, she didn't dwell on it much and continued to eat and drink as usual these past few days.
Life went on as usual, without expending any extra effort on it.
Until the day we left Kyoto and returned to Haiqi—
Bai Yuan looked at Pei Jin, who stood in front of her with his arms crossed and a displeased expression, surrounded by four or five suitcases.
Long-buried memories slowly awaken, and the truth behind the question that has puzzled her for many days is finally revealed.
She forgot Pei Jin!
Only then did she belatedly realize that she had completely forgotten about Young Master Pei, who had run away from home in a fit of pique.
She went out that night to find Pei Jin!
So, Pei Jin has been brooding alone these past few days?
A full two weeks, wouldn't that have infuriated Young Master Pei to the point of exploding?!
Bai Yuan suppressed the corners of her lips, which were almost uncontrollably turning upwards, and thought through all the sad and painful things from her childhood. She walked up to Pei Jin, who was furious.
Before she could say anything, Pei Jin glanced at Bai Yuan and spoke coldly first:
“I admit that it was wrong of me to run away from home after a disagreement.”
"?"
A question mark slowly appeared above Bai Yuan's head.
Seeing that Bai Yuan remained completely unresponsive, Pei Jin finally lost his temper and pointed at Qin Lingzheng behind Bai Yuan, shouting loudly:
"But isn't it a bit much to take him away?! I ran away from home, I didn't die! Are you taking him to Haiqi to take my place at the engagement ceremony?!"
This is absolutely outrageous!!!
Pei Jin was more than just furious!
He gets so angry he explodes eight hundred times a day!!!
On the first day after moving out of the compound, Pei Jin still couldn't wait for Bai Yuan despite his numerous hints. He felt more disappointed than angry.
Bai Yuan was disappointed that she cared less about him than she thought.
When Bai Yuan didn't show up the next day, Pei Jin got angry again and gave Qin Lingzheng a thorough dressing-down at home, going over his actions at the banquet day and night to figure out why he hadn't been able to deal any damage.
On the third day, Pei Jin was so angry that he was on the verge of exploding.
Is Qin Lingzheng really that good? Is he so good that Bai Yuan won't even glance at him or spend a second with him? Is it because he moved out that she wants him to?
Day ...
The thought that without his interference, Bai Yuan might be happily inseparable from Qin Lingzheng in the courtyard made Pei Jin's heart ache.
"What is it about me that I lack compared to him?"
On the fifth day, Pei Jin began to reflect.
It turns out that when people are idle for a certain period of time, they start to overthink and become completely out of control.
In the following days, Pei Jin thoroughly analyzed Qin Lingzheng from head to toe, comparing him point by point with himself, noting the similarities and differences between the two, and finally drew a conclusion with a frown.
"I think I do...maybe...it seems...I might...have a little bit...a bad temper?"
It can't be "big", can it?
That's called having personality!
Qin Lingzheng always goes along with Bai Yuan. This isn't called having a good temper or being obedient; it's called being a coward!
But when compared like this, it makes me look like I have a bad personality and am a little too assertive.
Cunning!!!
This person is so cunning!
After scolding Qin Lingzheng, Pei Jin calmed down and thought about his own part.
"Although this person is cunning, Bai Yuan is indeed susceptible to his tactics, and after comparison, I have indeed fallen short in front of Qin Lingzheng."
"Then...should I change my temper...personality?"
"Slightly emulate Qin Lingzheng?"
Soon, Pei Jin thought pessimistically:
"If I give up my individuality so easily, am I still myself?"
"If I take one step back, I'll take another step back. What will I become? A clone of Qin Lingzheng?"
"I'll become more and more like Qin Lingzheng. In the end, will Bai Yuan like me, or the me who resembles Qin Lingzheng?... "
Troubled by philosophical questions, Pei Jin didn't sleep all night. In a fit of energy and deep emotion, he secretly grieved for a long time. He turned off the lights, hid under the covers, and bit the blanket to hold back his tears.
Another day has passed...
Pei Jin: Putting everything else aside, I ran away from home first... tsk, it was my fault.
Once he accepted this premise, his thinking opened up, and Pei Jin found it much easier to justify himself.
"This isn't about imitating Qin Lingzheng; what's so great about him?"
"To admit one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue of a young master!"
"Can he compare to Qin Lingzheng, who only knows how to be subservient and humble?"
"What if Bai Yuan asks me what I did wrong? ...I got into a fight with Qin Lingzheng in public at the banquet? Hmph, even though he was the one who walked in on me and then turned around and blamed me, I'm magnanimous and won't stoop to his level."
"I'm sure Bai Yuan, seeing someone of such high moral character as myself, would utterly humiliate Qin Lingzheng!"
"Running away from home... I can just apologize to Bai Yuan. Come to think of it, I've lived in the Bai family for so long, it's really not right to just leave without saying a word..."
"Grandpa and Grandma Bai have taken care of me for so long, and I haven't even said goodbye to them yet!"
"It was my fault to begin with...tsk, why would Bai Yuan come looking for me...she's definitely waiting for me to come back..."
"...Forget it, never mind! I'll talk things out with Bai Yuan when I see her and apologize properly!"
"This isn't about admitting fault; it's about my magnanimity..."
Pei Jin had everything planned out at home, but once he got his luggage and arrived at the airport, as time passed while waiting for Bai Yuan, he began to have second thoughts and became increasingly anxious.
This led to Bai Yuan seeing Pei Jin, who was so angry he looked like a pufferfish, from a great distance.
After mentally preparing himself again, Pei Jin caught a glimpse of Bai Yuan, but then he immediately spotted Qin Lingzheng following behind Bai Yuan to the airport!
Looking at the suitcase the other person was pulling, Pei Jin absolutely did not believe that he had come to see Bai Yuan off at the airport!
Young Master Pei's face instantly fell, and he didn't give Qin Lingzheng a kind look.
Faced with Pei Jin's questioning, Qin Lingzheng touched his nose and replied with ease:
"Why are you looking at me? I went to Haiqi for work."
Having witnessed Qin Lingzheng's ability to lie through his teeth, Pei Jin refused to believe his nonsense and immediately rolled his eyes, showing his disdain.
Looking at Pei Jin in front of him, Qin Lingzheng gritted his teeth inwardly.
"He flirted with Bai Yuan in public!"
"Pah! Shameless! Shameless! Vixen!"
But he couldn't let anyone see through his act. Qin Lingzheng said one thing to someone's face and another behind their back. With a helpless expression, he turned to Bai Yuan and said in a strange voice:
"Bai Yuan, you know me."
