Chapter 529: Chapter 529 Long Vacation_1 Chapter 529: Chapter 529 Long Vacation_1 “Pei Yanqing is gone!”
Compared to Fu Qian, Tan Ying clearly couldn’t stay calm, and immediately shouted in a panic.
“Oh?”
Fu Qian frowned.
“Since when?”
“Just now, while I was in the washroom, I came back and she was gone.”
Tan Ying’s eyebrows were almost twisted together, looking at Fu Qian who was calmly seated, she was filled with indignation.
“Don’t get excited, we are so close to the university, how could she, a living person, just disappear?”
Fu Qian pointed outside.
The place where the two of them were located was a street near Lincheng University.
Although a bit old and disorderly in its layout, it boasted a wealth of storefronts.
Being the weekend, it was a popular spot for students to take a stroll.
“Maybe she had something to do and went back.”
“But she wouldn’t leave without saying anything, right? And I’ve called her phone many times, but it’s always out of reach.”
It was clear that Fu Qian’s attempt at reassurance was somewhat feeble, and Tan Ying couldn’t hide her worry.
“I was the one who called her out, so naturally, I should take responsibility for her safety.”
“The problem is, I don’t seem to have any way to help, I don’t even have her phone number.”
Fu Qian spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.
“You don’t even have her number?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Ying clearly paused, seemingly finding it hard to believe.
“We are friends after all, think of something!”
She pleaded in a beseeching tone thereafter.
“Aren’t you a professional personal safety consultant?”
“Now that you mention it, it seems I am.”
Fu Qian rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
During the last disappearance incident, he had indeed described his work in that way to Wen Li.
“Please, help!”
Tan Ying’s eyes were pleading as she pointed in front of Fu Qian.
“And you drank the milk tea.”
“That milk tea of yours had impure motives to begin with; I have no qualms about drinking it.”
Hmph!
Faced with Fu Qian’s response, Tan Ying seemed to have no strength to argue back.
“And why do you like shiny things like women do?”
The very next moment, she wrinkled her nose, pointing at Fu Qian’s hand.
On his right middle finger was a large blue gemstone that glittered brilliantly, almost giving the illusion of movement at a glance.
“Was it given to you by someone of the opposite sex?”
“That’s actually hard to say.”
Fu Qian looked down at the Clear Dream Ring on his finger.
“Tan Ying, what happened?”
As the two talked, the curtain at the entrance was lifted from the outside and a figure stepped in, walking in while asking.
The newcomer looked to be in his twenties, with a tall and handsome appearance.
His attire appeared casual but was meticulously styled, exuding a refined and powerful aura with every move.
In any case, from every angle, he was the very image of a young talent with the air of a domineering CEO.
Uh!
Facing the inquiry of this man, Tan Ying hesitated slightly but still shook her head.
“Nothing much, just that my friend seems to have gone somewhere.”
“Your friend? The girl who was with you just now?”
“Yeah.”
“I see.”
The newcomer nodded thoughtfully.
“Then, I’ll help look for it.”
“Nevermind, it’s no bother, I think Yanqing might have already gone back.”
Facing his eagerness, Tan Ying showed some reluctance, even directly using Fu Qian’s earlier words to decline.
“That is indeed a possibility, but being cautious isn’t a bad thing.”
In response to Tan Ying’s statement, the domineering CEO didn’t deny it, and likewise insisted on his own suggestion.
“Plus, it’s no trouble, just send me a photo of your classmate, and I’ll arrange for some people to look around. If we still haven’t confirmed their whereabouts after a while, I’ll reach out directly to the official institutions for help.”
After speaking, he didn’t give Tan Ying another chance to refuse, nodded slightly to Fu Qian, and walked straight out.
“Hey, do you actually have any idea what you’re doing?”
Watching him leave, Tan Ying turned back with a somewhat silent look, staring at Fu Qian and asked.
“Isn’t he already helping to look for her? Do you have any objections to him?”
Fu Qian gestured towards the direction of the door.
“You mean Song Hang? I just don’t like owing favors, that’s all.”
“Your words are ambiguous. Are you suggesting I’m not human?”
…
“Speaking of which, he looks like a young talent, and his manners are quite appropriate. As a suitor, there’s nothing to pick at, right?”
Seeing that Tan Ying was at a loss for words, Fu Qian switched the topic and asked.
It wasn’t an unfounded statement–Brother Song was indeed a suitor of Tan Ying’s, and she had coincidentally met him while she was out shopping with Pei Yanqing today.
As for why Song Hang’s attitude towards her was a bit different, it all started when Tan Ying bought an extra cup of milk tea and then gave it to him.
That’s also why Fu Qian said he drank the milk tea with a clear conscience, as it was clearly a tactic of diverting disaster elsewhere.
And as for why he was also here, that naturally had its reasons.
Earlier that day, after finishing his work, he ultimately decided to return to the real world and start his holiday.
However, it wasn’t long before Tan Ying’s call came to his mind, and it seemed quite urgent.
Fu Qian was used to this and didn’t want to pay attention.
Yet, upon seeing the Clear Dream Ring on his hand, Fu Qian suddenly had an idea for what to do on his holiday–he planned to test the upgraded effects of this thing.
Thus, Fu Qian chose to take a walk over here and similarly had a serendipitous encounter.
“Just because he’s flawless doesn’t mean I have to like him. Who made that rule?”
Tan Ying shot back at Fu Qian with a cold look, taking a fierce sip of her milk tea.
“That statement has a touch of Zen to it!”
Fu Qian actually appreciated Tan Ying’s retort.
“So?”
“So, as far as I’m concerned, it would be best if he never bothered me again.”
For some reason, while Tan Ying was saying this, it felt strangely familiar, as if they had had this conversation before.
Uh-huh.
Fu Qian didn’t comment, but the next moment he took a completely different turn in the conversation.
“Speaking of which, your style today is a bit different, isn’t it?”
He pointed at what Tan Ying was wearing.
Style is different…
Tan Ying looked puzzled for a moment, then seemed startled when she looked down at her dress.
Sitting opposite, Fu Qian watched her reaction silently.
“I swapped clothes with Yanqing, what about it?”
A few seconds later, Tan Ying seemed to snap out of it, explaining casually.
Indeed, she was different from before, not waking up so easily.
Fu Qian nodded inwardly.
The issue with Tan Ying’s outfit was naturally his doing.
Without a doubt, the Clear Dream Ring was in an activated state.
After the upgrade, Fu Qian found that as the Master of the Dream Realm, he could now do even more things.
For example, changing the style of someone trapped in a dream.
The reason he deliberately reminded Tan Ying about this was to see her reaction.
The fact was, even with such an obvious cognitive conflict, it didn’t affect the stability of the dream.
And as a young person steeped in modern education, Tan Ying even quickly found a reasonable explanation.
