End of Salvation

018: Lunar Crown Hotel (V)

Predictably, the attention shifted from Xiu Tianyu and Qiu Hua to Feiyi and his family. Yunsheng's lip twitches at their oh-so-fancy entrance. All of them were dressed in custom made outfits that were one of a kind and their dazzling features made them look like models. It was like there were stage lights directed towards their location, saying 'Hey, I'm a big shot. Come kiss the back of my hand'.

Staring at Feiyi who was making his way over to him, he felt quite puzzled as this person hated gatherings like this and would usually steer clear from these kinds of events. Yunsheng had an inkling that Shinyi has something to do with his best friend coming here.

With a smirk on his face, Feiyi greets him, "This servant greets Empress Dowager."

Yunsheng's lip twitches in annoyance, "What brings you here, Ah- Ouyang Feiyi?"

He restrains the innate reaction from interacting as he normally would, as it would only bring both sides more trouble if he did so. Yunsheng's hands itch as he really wanted to take Feiyi's cell phone and throwing it out of the nearby open door.

Raising an eyebrow at the way Yunsheng called him, Feiyi felt a little saddened despite his unchanged expression. He sighed inwardly. A connection with the Ouyang Family is like a golden double edge sword, but most would only see one side of it.

Being friends for so long, he naturally understood his thoughts. Yunsheng was acting distant because he didn't want to take advantage of their connection, nor did he want to be his achilles' heel.

Being at the top not only meant that there would only be ass kissing people but contenders as well. Unlike being at the bottom where you knew your enemies from your allies, it was hard to discern who was what. Standing at the pinnacle of the world, attacks would only be stealthily launched at them from the shadows.

He did what he thinks is best for Feiyi because he understands the other already has enough on his plate and things will be piled up higher for him. Even if the other was annoying, Yunsheng still considered him like a brother, so he wouldn't be able to stand it if he only became a burden to Feiyi. That's why he never mentioned what happened at these events, nor did he involve him in anything that pertained to that side of the family. Most of the time, the lad found out things from his own accord.

Even though he knows what Yunsheng was trying to do, he didn't care. Hearts of people would always be as it is, just because they showed a smile did not mean that they didn't have a knife hiding behind their back. Feiyi didn't care if they targeted him, just because showed his tail did not mean that they would be able to catch it. Tapping his chin, Feiyi acts as if it was a troubling matter to answer his question and slowly meets his eyes. He, then whispers with complete seriousness, "I miss my little bunny."

Almost spurting out blood, Yunsheng instead chokes on the air and coughs. Feiyi pats his back as he feigns concern, "Ah, be more careful when you breathe. We can't have you dying on us, we can't afford such a grand funeral for you, Empress Dowager."

The blue vein on Yunsheng's forehead pulsates as he takes in a deep breath. He grips tightly onto Feiyi's hand as if he was trying to shatter his bones. "Thank you for your concern, but I still have a long way before I enter my grave."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile could be seen on Feiyi's lips. He shrugs and steps back. Looking around, he finds two missing figures and turns to his best friend. He asks in an insouciant manner, "Where's little bunny Yi'er?"

Yunsheng blinks at his best friend in silence, "..."

His expression blackens and could almost be mistaken as being siblings with a burnt pot. The visible change in his expression was like a magic trick. Feiyi claps with slight enthusiasm as his face holds a languid smirk, "You should host a trope of your own and do Bian Lian², I think you'll be a great hit without even having to wear any mask."

Unable to hold back any longer, he snatches Feiyi's phone from his pocket. He walks over to the door and tosses it along with his anger. Yunsheng watches it fly away with happiness. He then turns around and takes another one of his phone and chucks it. As to why he knows where it is? It's because this happens too often that the places where Feiyi puts the phones is all known.

Seeing that his friend was back to normal, Feiyi didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Of course, the two's interaction caused a commotion.
