Because Wan Ning saw a store on the right, she could go in and hide.

She started running over there, and just as she reached the door of a shop, a man opened the door and came out.

Wan Ning was running very fast and wanted to stop in time, but inertia made him collide with the person who came.

"Ah, move aside."

Wan Ning screamed and quickly looked back, she was afraid that those people would catch up with her.

The man who walked to the door was also stunned for a moment. After hearing Wan Ning's voice, he immediately looked up, and his eyes were full of shock.

The person who appeared was none other than Peixi.

He first looked at Wan Ning in surprise, and noticed that she looked flustered and seemed very nervous. He guessed that she might have encountered something, so he immediately reached out and grabbed Wan Ning.

As a result, as soon as Wan Ning turned back, her wrist was grabbed by a pair of big hands. Then the man half-huggled her into his arms and took her back to the store.

After entering, Wan Ning only took a glance inside and saw a lot of clothes.

Then she looked back nervously, and the man who was holding her shoulders whispered in her ear: "Relax, no one will notice."

Hearing the man's voice, Wan Ning looked up in shock. When she saw the person next to her clearly, she opened her mouth in shock.

But Wan Ning immediately came back to his senses and pretended not to know the other person: "Thank you, sir."

Peixi saw Wan Ning's expression and smiled: "I feel honored to meet a beautiful lady here."

As he spoke, he let go of Wan Ning again, took one of her hands and kissed it.

After kissing him, Peixi let go of Wanning's hand and asked, "Did something happen to you?"

Wan Ning saw a few figures flashing by outside the store out of the corner of his eye, and immediately moved his feet to hide behind Peixi.

Peixi also cooperated by turning her body so that Wan Ning could hide completely behind her.

After several figures ran past, Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, that was a close call."

At this time, a woman in her thirties suddenly came out of the store: "Oh, sir, you haven't left yet?"

She was asking Peixi, Peixi nodded: "I have something else to do, so I'll hold you back for a while, Madam Cher. I'll take this young lady to her room to talk about something."

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Okay sir, do you want some tea?"

"No need. I'll call you again if I need you."

Peixi then looked at Wanning. Wanning knew from their conversation that Peixi was helping her, so she nodded and said, "Thank you."

The two entered a room. After walking in, Wan Ning took a look at the floor under his feet. It was icy cold.

Peixi noticed Wan Ning's feet. He frowned and immediately called Wan Ning to sit on the chair.

"Wait a moment," Peixi said, then walked behind the table and opened the drawer.

After looking around the room, Wan Ning's attention returned to him.

He walked up to Wan Ning holding something like a piece of cloth, knelt on one knee, and smiled: "Can I measure the size of your feet? I happen to have shoes for sale outside, I can get you a pair to change into."

"Oh well."

Wan Ning only noticed some clothes hanging in the store and didn't have time to look at the others.

It would be better to have shoes, so Wan Ning lifted the hem of her skirt a little and raised her feet directly.

Looking at the small feet wrapped in cloth in front of him, which were covered with dirt and the knots were extremely crooked and sloppy, Peixi did not show any expression of disgust, but instead showed heartache.

But he lowered his head and Wan Ning didn't notice.

"Can I ask when you came to Torrey Island?"

Wan Ning knew that the man in front of her was not a bad person, but she couldn't say much else: "I just arrived today and came to see a friend."

Peixi raised his head and glanced at Wanning: "Oh, really?"

Wan Ning nodded: "Yes, really."

After Peixi untied the cloth that Wan Ning had torn from the lining of her skirt, he picked up the tape measure at hand and looked at Wan Ning's white and delicate feet with a thoughtful look on his face.

"My name is Pei Xi. Can you tell me your name, miss? You look like a friend I knew before."

"Daining, my name is Daining."

Peixi heard Wanning's words and nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."

After measuring Wan Ning's feet, he opened the door and went out. A moment later, he came out with a pair of flat shoes with several sparkling diamonds inlaid on the toes.

Wan Ning frowned: "Are these shoes very expensive?"

She was thinking about how she would give him a few pearls later. Then she heard Peixi laugh, "I'm giving this to you, Miss. I hope Miss Daining will accept it."

As he spoke, he walked up to Wan Ning, squatted down, and put on her shoes personally.

Wan Ning looked at the shoes on his feet, raised his head and thanked Pei Xi: "Very beautiful, Mr. Pei Xi."

Then Peixi stretched out a hand, and Wan Ning hesitated for a moment before extending his own hand.

Then the big hand exerted force and pulled the owner of the small hand up from the chair.

Wan Ning felt her body leaning forward and her waist was pinched by the man.

Peixi lowered her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "Dai Ning, can I call you that?"

Wan Ning was a little flustered. Did this guy recognize that she was a mermaid in the sea?

Then he leaned forward slightly, and the tip of his tall nose was about to touch Wan Ning's nose, and their breaths could be heard.

"Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions, I just simply want to get to know you, okay?"

The man's eyes were full of affection. Wan Ning tilted his head. Now was not the time to talk about love: "Sorry Peixi, I have a friend waiting, so I have to go find him."

When Peixi heard Wan Ning say that someone was waiting, he immediately looked serious and asked, "Is it a man?"

Wan Ning nodded: "Yes."

"But he has someone he likes, and this time we have to find that person."

Wan Ning spoke his words separately. After he finished speaking the first part, Peixi looked obviously unhappy. Only after Wan Ning spoke the second part did he relax again.

"Okay, I'll accompany you to find him."

Then Peixi took Wan Ning's hand and walked out. After saying hello to Mrs. Cher in the hall outside, the two left.

Wan Ning wanted Peixi to let go, but his hand seemed very strong: "Peixi, I think you should let go."

Then Wan Ning shook their clasped hands and pursed her lips towards him.

Peixi came back to his senses and immediately let go of Wan Ning's hand in annoyance: "Oh, sorry, I forgot in my haste just now."

Then the two of them walked side by side towards the place where Gerry and Wan Ning had just separated.

After I walked there, I waited for two minutes before I saw Gary running over in a hurry.

Seeing Gary coming, Wan Ning hurriedly waved and called him: "Here, come quickly."
