Cui Shao was reviewing the news he heard when he entered the Emperor's Palace today, when he heard a familiar cold male voice and was startled.

Then he covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.

The young man standing outside the door had his right hand bandaged and wrapped with a white bandage.

His tall and elegant figure was hidden under the gray fox fur draped over his shoulders. His jade face was pale in the cold wind, and there was a bit of urgency and anxiety in his auspicious eyes.

She had clearly promised that she would prepare a meal at the new house tonight and wait for him to come home, but he waited for a full hour and still could not see her figure, let alone a single dish.

After waiting for a long time without seeing her figure, he subconsciously thought something might have happened to her.

I just went to Honglu Temple to look for her. He said that she had already been devalued, so he had no choice but to move to the house she bought.

After knocking several times and getting no response, Pei Zhaoxue didn't wait any longer and pushed the door open directly.

As soon as the doorman opened the door, a faint scent of medicine entered his nose.

It looks like the owner of the house has just used medicine before?

"Yuan'er?" Pei Zhaoxue strode into the couch room. Mo Er, who was following him, guarded the door and did not go in.

Passing around a screen, the figure of the young man lying on the couch was particularly dazzling. Pei Zhaoxue was startled and doubted his own eyes.

"Who are you?"

Most of the candlelight in the room was extinguished, and there was only a night light placed near the bed. The light was extremely dim, and it was difficult to see much clearly from a distance.

But even so, Pei Zhaoxue recognized it as a man at a glance.

He frowned and walked quickly to the couch. He turned over the young man who was sleeping on his back. He clearly saw a face that was half like an immortal and half like a Rakshasa. He murmured in surprise: "Cui Shao?!"

Shen Yuan didn't know that Pei Zhaoxue had already gone to her couch. After two-quarters of an hour of bumpy carriage, she finally arrived at the school where Pei Jinyan went to private school.

The snow had stopped when she got off the carriage. Many women came to pick up their children, and people were coming in and out of the school door one after another.

The children who were not picked up by their families all stood in a row under the wind shelter with small school bags on their backs, waiting. Like several little chickens.

Pei Jinyan's facial features are quite delicate, and the book bag he carried today was tied with a red ribbon by Zhi Luo, so it should be easy to find it.

But she looked back and forth several times, but couldn't see his shadow, so she had to go to the pile of chickens and ask them if they knew Pei Jinyan and had they seen him?

"Pei Jinyan? Never heard of it."

"No, I haven't heard of it."

"do not know."

Shen Yuan asked several children in succession but failed to get an answer. Shen Yuan felt strange and took Zhi Luo into the private school to find the principal.

The class teacher was still packing up the homework collected today. When he saw Shen Yuan coming, he asked her first: "Mrs. Pei, didn't you agree early in the morning that you would send your son to class today? Now that the class is over, why haven't you seen him yet? There is no trace of him, but what happened along the way?"

The section chief turned his head to look behind Shen Yuan, trying to find Pei Jinyan, but unfortunately he only saw Zhi Luo.

"He didn't come?"

Shen Yuan turned around to look at Zhiluo in surprise. She sent him here, why didn't he come?

Zhiluo was also confused: "Young madam, I really sent the young master to school. I saw him going in with the other children. I just left. How could I not come here?"

In both past and present lives, Zhi Luo was the one who treated Shen Yuan wholeheartedly, so naturally he would not doubt what she said.

Either Zhi Luo lied, or Pei Jinyan did something.

Chaoyang Private School is very famous in this area of ​​the capital. It enrolls hundreds of students, so it is certainly impossible to take care of every student.

Shen Yuan calmed down, recalled what happened after Pei Jinyan was sent to a private school in his previous life, and quickly guessed a place.

The section chief was also dumbfounded. He would definitely not be able to show no signs of being left here. She hurriedly told Shen Yuan that if he goes with her, he can also remember the person. Next time Pei Jinyan doesn't come, he will know as soon as possible.

Shen Yuan came to pick up Pei Jinyan and brought two guards with him. The private school had a large number of guards that could be borrowed, and it would be convenient to catch others when the time came, so he did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll be in trouble later."

The moon was high in the sky, but the bustling main streets of the capital did not end with the sunlight, and were still bustling with activity.

Three carriages came one after another from the darkness and stopped in front of a shop called Xiaoyaofang.

A slender jade hand wearing a red agate jade bracelet opened the carriage curtain, stepped on a low stool and got out of the carriage. The warmth around her was instantly blown away by the cold wind, and her clothes became as cold as her eyes.

The girl put on a fox fur cloak to cover up her begonia-colored winter skirt. Her picturesque face was covered with a thin blush, and the red mole on her forehead became even more dazzling.

"You two, stay at the door. If you see him coming out, don't be polite, just knock him out."

"You guys, come with me."

Xiaoyaofang is a favorite place for children in Beijing. It has everything from cricket fighting to riding a mechanical Trojan to borrowing and playing with mechanical birds.

Usually more children come here after school or during holidays.

The boy in the workshop saw Shen Yuan bringing a few people over, and stepped forward and asked: "Is this lady here to pick up the child, or is her brother coming home? What is her name?"

"My name is Pei Jinyan, I am his mother, where is he now?"

All the people who come to play in the square are children. In order to prevent children from being abducted, the square will make a registration in advance.

The boy looked at the register for a while, then quickly pointed the direction to Shen Yuan, telling her that she could see Pei Jinyan in the room at the end.

Shen Yuan's finger joints creaked when he heard it, and Zhi Luo couldn't help but sweat for Pei Jinyan.

The lights in the house were bright, and there were not many children still playing. Pei Jinyan's back, squatting on the ground and watching the crickets fight, was particularly conspicuous.

As for the book bag that he should have carried properly, he had thrown it aside long ago. He had stepped on it several times and was stained with dust.

Shen Yuan walked over with a gloomy face, his tall figure shrouded his body, and the darkness descended, which inexplicably made Pei Jinyan feel a chill down his back.

He turned slowly and looked up.

When he saw it, he came face-to-face with Shen Yuan's chillingly beautiful face. He was so frightened that he dropped his buttocks and stammered, "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here?" The girl squatted down and looked at him levelly, pointing to the cricket beside her.

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you like these things more than studying."

Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes, which made Pei Jinyan inexplicably scared.

"I"

"Needless to say, since I like these things, I will stay here with you tonight and watch you play."

"Zhi Luo." Shen Yuan stood up, patted the hem of her skirt, and asked Zhi Luo to move a stool. She also gave the boy a sum of money for an overnight stay and sat in the room for Pei Jinyan to play.

It was completely dark when she came over. Pei Jinyan did not believe in evil and continued to play.

They continued playing until around midnight, when Shen Yuan woke up from a nap, then he couldn't help but get up and said he didn't want to play anymore.

"You don't want to play anymore? How can you do that? Keep playing. I paid you the money for the whole night, so you must keep playing!" (End of Chapter)
