Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes
Chapter 127: The General’s Pet (8)
The day of the birthday party soon arrived. Lian Qingyang had not had time to contact Pei Sichen in the past few days, and Pei Sichen had not taken the initiative to contact him.
It was only after the banquet in the evening that the two met for the first time in the past few days from a distance. No matter how often they interacted privately, they had to at least put on enough effort on the surface, so they just looked at each other and then looked away.
Lian Qingyang followed behind Brother Lian and did nothing. He would only smile back when others talked about him, and then secretly observe the situation on Pei Sichen's side.
Compared to Lian Qingyang's leisure, Pei Sichen was much busier. Several people gathered around him and greeted him despite his cold face. Pei Sichen responded casually, and several people continued talking as if they were recognized.
Pei Sichen's expression did not change, but his aura became more and more violent. He and Lian Qingyang had only been separated for a few days, and his head began to ache again. After patiently dealing with a few people, he made an excuse to go to the bathroom. Anyway, the Star Lord had not arrived yet, so he found a quiet place to relax.
Lian Qingyang noticed Pei Sichen leaving, and took advantage of the gap when Brother Lian was communicating with others to whisper a few words to him, then turned around and slowly walked in the direction Pei Sichen left.
But after he took a few steps, the crowd suddenly started to make a noise. Everyone looked towards the door. It was the Star Lord's sons who came in one after another with their companions. Many people hurried over to greet them. Lian Qingyang took a look and walked against the crowd towards the bathroom.
The bathroom was located in the public area, with a sink. Pei Sichen was leaning against the sink with his head lowered. He didn't look up when he heard the noise. Lian Qingyang walked over, stopped beside him, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Sichen raised his head when he heard the voice, with surprise in his eyes. Then he reacted, stood up straight and looked behind Lian Qingyang.
Lian Qingyang said helplessly, "No one's coming. Sai Xiuze and the others just arrived, and everyone's gone to chat with them. I don't think anyone will come here for a while."
Pei Sichen nodded, raised his hand and pressed his temple. The decency he had maintained in the hall disappeared, and his voice unconsciously took on an inexplicable intimacy: "My head has been aching a bit just now. I was afraid I couldn't control myself, so I thought I'd find a quiet place first and wait for the Star Lord to come before going over."
Hearing Pei Sichen's words, Lian Qingyang's face was filled with worry, and his mental power began to unconsciously soothe him. He was not as tall as Pei Sichen, so he stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch Pei Sichen's head, whispering, "It seems that we still need to research the potion quickly. After all, I can't stay by your side forever."
Pei Sichen's expression tightened, and he couldn't help but grab Lian Qingyang's hand, his voice tense: "Why not? Aren't we friends?"
Lian Qingyang understood that the goals of this world were a bit stubborn, but he didn't expect that after spending some time together, Pei Sichen still only regarded him as an ordinary friend.
He sighed and was about to say something when Pei Sichen suddenly pulled him into the men's restroom, pushed him into a cubicle, went in himself, and then locked the cubicle door.
Two grown men squeezed into a cubicle, so there was bound to be some physical contact. However, Pei Sichen had just hurried in and pulled Lian Qingyang into his arms. He leaned close to his ear and said, "Someone's coming this way. Don't talk for now."
The low voice accompanied by heat lingered in Lian Qingyang's ears, making him feel a little itchy. The slight movement of tilting his head inevitably showed some evasion, which was noticed by Pei Sichen who had been paying attention to him.
Pei Sichen felt inexplicably unhappy, and tightened his arm around Lian Qingyang's shoulders, focusing his attention on the movements outside the cubicle.

Sai Xiu Ze led his men into the gate first, followed by his fifth brother Sai Xiu Qi and seventh brother Sai Xiu Cheng. Although the three of them had secretly caused each other countless obstacles, at least at this time they still knew the importance of the situation and maintained the appearance of brotherly friendship. Even though other people, including the Star Lord, knew about the bad relationship between the three of them, they still had to act like brothers in front of the Star Lord and everyone else.
Others were also used to putting on a show, and when they saw the three of them come in one after another, they all came forward with glasses of wine to say hello. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that everyone will come together in front of their supporters to communicate after greeting them, and the friendly scene cannot stop the undercurrents surging in the positions.
Brother Lian didn't rush over. When he glanced at the scene over there, he couldn't help but sneer. He looked up and politely greeted Sai Xiuqi who had just walked in front of him.
Sai Xiuqi raised his wine glass, took a sip, and chatted for a while. He asked casually, "I heard that the eldest young master's brother also came to the party. Why didn't I see him?"
Brother Lian, shaking his wine glass with a smile on his face, changed the subject: "He's introverted and not good at interacting with others. I don't know where he's hiding now. By the way, how is the Fifth Young Master's business on Bisier? I'm actually more optimistic about some of Bisier's resources..."
Sai Xiu Ze, who was passing by, paused, turned his head and whispered a few words to the person next to him. After handing over the wine glass, he went to the bathroom alone. Of course, he noticed the direction Lian Qingyang left. Compared with the young master Lian who had already started to manage the Lian family, the simple Lian Qingyang was easier to control.
Moreover, the last time he sent a photo to Young Master Lian, it didn't stir up any reaction at all, and he was secretly targeted by him for a while, which made him feel aggrieved. He wanted to get back at Lian Qingyang, even if it meant threatening him. If Lian Qingyang had ambitions, he would even offer to secretly help him become the head of the Lian family, which would then secure his position as Star Lord.
While he was in the bathroom, he had already planned how to convince Lian Qingyang. When he entered the bathroom, he saw that only one cubicle door was closed. He closed the door and spoke confidently, "I know you're in the bathroom. I'm here to work with you. You can come out and talk to me. Of course, you can refuse, but I may have something that I believe you'll be very interested in."
Lian Qingyang was almost amused by this idiot. It would be fine if he was the only one in the bathroom, but Sai Xiu Ze probably didn't expect Pei Sichen to be in the bathroom too. He looked up and stared at Pei Sichen, and sure enough, he saw that Pei Sichen's face didn't look very good. Pei Sichen probably thought Sai Xiu Ze was looking for him.
Sai Xiuze didn't hear a response, and his face darkened. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the bathroom, his threatening tone became even more pronounced: "We still have room for cooperation. You don't want to break up with me now, do you? If you have any sense, you'd better get out of here as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed compartment door began to make noises. It was pushed open amidst Sai Xiuze's smug expression. However, when Sai Xiuze saw the person, his expression suddenly changed and his voice became more pitched: "Why is it you?"
