It wasn’t just talk; she meant it. She grabbed her bag and headed for the exit.
“Don’t—”
Zhou Chi rushed forward, clutching the hem of Shen Wan’s skirt.
“Are you going to talk now?”
“…I will.”
Shen Wan swayed to his side and assumed a patient listening posture.
Zhou Chi withdrew his hand, his expression embarrassed. “A gang of thugs teamed up to drug a young lady. I caught them in the act. It didn’t work out, but they’ve been causing trouble at the bar for two weeks now. Today was the first time they got physical.”
“At a bar?” Shen Wan caught the crucial information, her brow furrowing.
“Yes.”
“Is this your so-called new job?”
Zhou Chi nodded, his tone subdued.

“Night Paris.”
“As a… host?”
Zhou Chi’s cheeks turned red, and he coughed. “You… don’t make things up! I’m just a waiter! I’m not involved in that kind of business!”
“Hmm, do you want me to praise you for keeping yourself clean?”
“…No need for that.”
Shen Wan got up and walked to the window, gazing into the distance. She hadn’t expected that, after all her twists and turns, she would still be connected to “Night Paris”. In her previous life, she had been a beer girl there, and in this life, Zhou Chi was working as a waiter.
Perhaps that was the mysterious aspect of fate, where threads always seemed to intertwine, and events always had similarities.
“Quit your job,” Shen Wan said in a calm tone, but her eyes revealed her seriousness. “That kind of job doesn’t suit you.”
Zhou Chi looked uneasy.
“What, having second thoughts?”
“I want to quit too, but I signed a long-term contract before. I have to work for at least six months, or I’ll have to pay a penalty.”
“How much?”
Zhou Chi extended two fingers. “Two hundred thousand.”

“If you want to scold me, go ahead.”
Shen Wan smirked. “Are you stupid? You signed such an unfair contract?! I’m afraid your six-month salary won’t even add up to two hundred thousand!”
Zhou Chi was completely deflated. “I didn’t think about it at the time… What do I do now?”
Shen Wan contemplated for a moment. “Put this matter on hold for now. Tomorrow, accompany me to Beihai. Here’s your plane ticket.”
“Go to Beihai? What for?”
“To meet Yi Hong.”
“You want to see him?!” Zhou Chi widened his eyes. “But… didn’t you just tell me to cut off contact with him a while ago?”
“Things are different now.”
Zhou Chi hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, “Can I ask a question?”
“Go ahead.”
“Why do you want to see him?”
“To collect interest.”
“All! Ouch, that hurts! Be gentle!” Zhou Chi’s body tensed up, and his resentful eyes darted towards the woman.

Yesterday, she had helped Zhou Chi tend to his injuries before leaving.
Unexpectedly, when they met at the airport today, the gauze on his forehead was still there, but the adhesive bandage at the corner of his mouth had come off.
Zhou Chi checked his reflection with his hand. “It looks really ugly.”
“Would a big bruise hanging on your lip be any prettier?”

At exactly twelve-fifteen in the afternoon, the plane landed at Beihai Airport.
The expected duration of their trip was a maximum of three days, so Shen Wan hadn’t brought much luggage, just a small suitcase. Zhou Chi was even more casual, tossing a couple of outfits into his backpack, along with a laptop and some cash, and he was ready to go!
“You mentioned last time that you were working on a small game?”
“Yeah,” Zhou Chi nodded.
“Did you succeed?”
“I’m still debugging and improving the features.”
“When can I try it out?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow.
“Anytime.” Zhou Chi handed her his phone.
Shen Wan took it and swiped through, finding an app with a fox logo.. “Is it this one?”
