Visiting here is definitely much more convenient than at Spring and Autumn Plaza.

Not only is it closer, but there's no worry about being seen.

Although the second batch of Filipino maids isn't as eye-catching as the first, their professional skills are certainly superior.

After Jiang Chen and his companion went upstairs, they all disappeared upstairs.

Too lazy to change clothes, after all, it's late now, even if they chat, it won't be for long. Soon enough, he'd have to take them off, so Jiang Chen, clad in luxurious silk pajamas, went over to Pei Yunxi's door.

Inside the room.

Pei Yunxi was indeed not asleep; she sat on the wide bed, video calling her father.

Hmm.

Very coincidental.

Both needed to assure their family of their safety.

"Knock knock knock..."

The sudden knocking made Pei Yunxi's heart tighten slightly.

Her father, Pei Linhan, didn't know where she was, let alone who she was with.

If it were discovered someone was knocking on her door this late, he would undoubtedly overthink.

Luckily, Pei Linhan hadn't heard the sound in the video yet.

"Dad, let's just leave it at this. Li'er is about to be on holiday, so you go back with her."

Pei Yunxi displayed the skills of a top actress, not revealing anything, and Pei Linhan on the other side of the video didn't notice any abnormalities.

"Alright, get to bed early. Call us more when you have time."

"Dong—"

The disturbing knock sounded again. Pei Yunxi didn't even have the time to properly say goodbye to Pei Linhan before hastily hanging up the video call.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking continued incessantly.

There was no need to think about it. Although there were many people in this villa, at this time, there wouldn't be a second person daring to knock on her door.

Having showered, Pei Yunxi got off the bed, slipped into cloth slippers barefoot, and walked to the door. Despite being able to play deaf, she hesitated not, held the doorknob, and pulled the door open.

A little caution is necessary, hey.

Especially for women abroad, has such basic safety awareness been forgotten?

But also,

Dozens of soldiers like wolves below.

A flimsy door, what can it block?

The ancients used to say.

You can guard against gentlemen, but not against villains.

With hair like a waterfall, immaculate, this freshly washed plain face was stunningly beautiful.

Pei Linhan was certainly wishfully thinking.

Beauty is the greatest original sin.

Even if she doesn't take the path of showbiz, Pei Yunxi definitely wouldn't have a normal life.

"Insomnia, chat for a bit, is it convenient?"

Although there were dozens of soldiers below at his command at any time, Boss Jiang was always a courteous person, stopping outside the door to seek permission, not rashly barging in.

To enter without invitation would be trespassing.

Not something a gentleman would do.

"Hold on."

Pei Yunxi turned back into the room, after a while, came back, and handed a medicine box to Jiang Chen who looked puzzled.

"Take one pill, don't take more."

Jiang Chen looked down and found it both amusing and annoying.

Melatonin.

"Where did it come from?"

Also reminding him not to overdo it, really considerate.

"You can look in your room, there should be some there too."

Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.

The amenities are indeed complete.

"This stuff is harmful to the body."

Clutching the medicine, he gazed at Pei Yunxi, the subtext quite clear, and his lack of turning away was enough to explain everything.

In the dead of night.

A lone man and woman.

Even as partners, even as close comrades, propriety should be observed, especially when both were dressed in sleepwear.

Hmm.

The difference was Pei Yunxi in a sleeping gown, pearl white and one-piece, the material wasn't as sheer as Li Shuru's earlier garnet red one, but it was relatively short, with the hem only reaching the thighs, a bigger motion could risk exposure.

Of course.

It might also be Pei Yunxi's tall stature that caused misjudgment in clothing size preparation.

In this situation, even by screenplay logic, the heroine would certainly refuse, regardless if it's a facade, at least a woman's reserve has to be shown.

But reality is often more magical than art.

Creation requires logic, but reality doesn't.

After failing to achieve the desired result with the melatonin, Pei Yunxi turned around silently and walked into the room.

Certain someone, perceptive, immediately followed in, seemingly to show his integrity, he didn't close the door.

And then.

Something even more bizarre happened.

"Close the door."

That's right.

Pei Yunxi actually demanded to close the door!

Such an absurd request made Jiang Chen pause.

"...No one on this floor, no one will come up."

He explained.

"Close the door."

Pei Yunxi ignored him and persisted.

If truly no one dared to come up, then whether the door is closed or not seemed to be a meaningless issue.

Given its meaninglessness, Jiang Chen decided not to waste energy brooding on it, easily swung the door shut.

"Bang."

Yet it must be said.

Once the door was closed, a subtle psychological change occurred; the closed environment made the setting more intimate.

It seems sometimes the significance of a door being open or shut extends beyond reality, possibly residing in the mind.

The room's decor doesn't compare to Spring and Autumn Plaza, but in Myanmar, it definitely was luxurious, especially the impressionist oil painting hanging over the headboard, elevating the room's overall vibe.

"Are you adapting?"

After glancing around, Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Pei Yunxi stood at the end of the bed, about three or four meters away from him, the distance was certainly not intentional, otherwise she'd have at least backed against the wall.

He's already been let in.

Why pretend now.

"Better than I imagined."

"What did you imagine? Although this place in Myanmar is backward, even in the poorest areas there are rich people, and where there are rich people, there will be a market to meet the needs of the wealthy. Did you think I brought you here to suffer?"

Jiang Chen smiled as he looked at the face that could easily make any heart skip a beat.

"I don't think anyone would take you to suffer."

Men like women who can endure hardships alongside them, but there are women one simply cannot bear to let suffer.

This one undoubtedly is among them.

She seemed to have a magic, even letting her suffer feels like a sin.

"I was referring to the peace here."

Pei Yunxi suddenly turned, gazing at the window.

Jiang Chen laughed silently.

Alright.

I was shallow.

"The security environment in the Allied Army's jurisdiction is among the best in northern Myanmar, comparable to areas controlled by the government forces. Here, you likely won't get the chance to witness the scene of gunshots and artillery fire."

Initially casual, as the conversation progressed, someone's gaze began to waver.

Position changed, the entire back of Pei Yunxi stretched like a scroll, unobstructed before Jiang Chen's eyes.

Skin even more striking than the pearl white sleep gown, like exquisite porcelain, her waist not overly narrow, detailed and proportionate, sparking imagination about how it'd feel to hold.

Especially with the curve rapidly expanding to the sides below, making the already small sleep gown even more tension-filled.

"Is it nice to look at?"

A calm voice sounded.

Jiang Chen remained nonchalant.

"Gained weight, huh."
