I want to talk about one specific detail that completely changed how I read this entire chapter: Pei Yan agreeing to fly economy class. Let me just say it plainly—this is the single most important plot point in the chapter and the author buries it like a treasure. Assistant Liu warns him: "first-class seats for all flights today are already sold out. If we reschedule, I'm afraid you'll have to fly economy class..." And Pei Yan says: "It doesn't matter. Just change it." That's it. That's the whole scene. But think about what that means. This man has never once taken economy class in his entire life. His assistant describes him as someone whose "every aspect of his life, from food and clothing to travel and accommodation, was always the absolute best." And he gives that up—without hesitation, without explanation, without even telling his assistant why—to get back home faster. The pacing of this revelation is masterful. The author doesn't announce it as a dramatic moment. It's just... stated. A practical detail in a business conversation. And yet it carries more emotional weight than any confession scene ever could. Because the reader has to connect the dots. Why is he rushing back? What did he feel when he saw her? The author trusts us to understand that giving up first class is the equivalent of a love letter in Pei Yan's language. And then he lies about it at dinner. The gap between that action and his words is where the entire romance lives.

"Damn him, I'll get him next time" thought William while purposely walking towards the target of the hundreds of martial art skills. "Gentlemen you know it's rude showing your vulgar side to the ladies right?" said William with a deep voice.
"Tch, were you recognizing or not about that girl?" Asked Mei as she pointed at the girl. Michael looked down again.
The three reach the hill that connects all the districts. With Mai on her back, Yua says, "Taitsuke, I'll bring Mai home. Be sure to not lollygag and head home straight." The two disappear into the 7th district.
"No.. No. I cant explain. I just.. Just.."
"If only we had retreated sooner…*Sigh* "

In truth, Hu Lei was not a person who loved drama purely for the purpose of entertainment. She considered herself a people-watcher for the sake of understanding humans and creating more riveting works. Her primary genres of choice as Little Ninja Cat were science fiction, fantasy and crime. Her grasp on these elements was exceptional because of the environment in which she grew.
She told her maids to dress her up asked for a mirror. Slender eyebrows. Large, bright, and enticing eyes. A slight smile, revealing two tiny dimples on each cheek. It was exactly the same face she had in her past life, it was a young but gorgeous face. Ying Yue was wearing a set of pale blue robes, and her hairstyle was simple: two buns with a jade hairpin inserted in each. She looked mature yet had a tinge of pureness to her.
He always suppressed his desire to stop them because he thought Li Seulbi would stand up for herself and wouldn't allow herself to get bullied.
