"Are you heading to Hawaii for a film shoot?"
After chatting for a while, Ye Yun asked curiously.
"No, I'm just going on vacation. I just wrapped up filming a movie and wanted to take advantage of this bit of free time to relax. Shooting a movie is exhausting."
Gu Fei stretched lazily, showing off a stunning silhouette. Then her large eyes turned to Ye Yun with a smile.
"What about you, Ye Yun? Are you going for vacation too?"
After all, when it came to a place like Hawaii, there wasn't much to do besides vacationing.
"Yes and no. I've got some land over there—just going to handle some paperwork and enjoy the Hawaiian scenery while I'm at it."
Ye Yun thought for a moment and replied.
Gu Fei's eyes flickered with a bit of surprise. Ye Yun was about to invite her to go together when suddenly, a figure approached, accompanied by a faint scent of perfume.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please let me through?"
The speaker was a petite, delicate-looking woman with a ponytail. Though her words were polite, her sharp eyes glared at Ye Yun with clear displeasure.
Gu Fei was seated by the window, and Ye Yun was on the aisle. Naturally, this woman had the middle seat.
"Qiaoqiao, let me introduce you. This is Ye Yun, my college..."
Gu Fei clearly knew this young woman and began to introduce Ye Yun.
However, the woman didn't say a word. She squeezed herself into the seat with a cold face and sat down between them, completely shutting down the conversation.
This made things awkward for both Gu Fei and Ye Yun. Gu Fei gave Ye Yun an apologetic look.
Ye Yun quickly understood that this sharp-eyed beauty was likely Gu Fei's manager or something similar. Being tactful, he quietly moved to a seat in the front row.
There weren't many passengers in first class, and open seats were easy to find.
After Ye Yun left, Gu Fei exhaled in frustration.
"Qiaoqiao, what was that about? He's just an old classmate I happened to run into. We were just chatting."
The delicate woman named Qiaoqiao was none other than Gu Fei's manager, Wang Qiaoqiao.
She shot Gu Fei a glare and snapped,
"Even old classmates are off-limits. Do you know how many celebs have been screwed over by so-called old classmates? I just stepped away for a few minutes, and you're already—"
She launched into a rapid-fire scolding.
Gu Fei could only listen helplessly, knowing that her best friend meant well.
But her gaze started to drift as her mind wandered back to the conversation she'd just had with Ye Yun.
Without realizing it, Ye Yun's bright and clean smile and the warmth in his gaze had left a deep impression on her heart.
"How did I never notice how interesting he is back in college?"
…
Thanks to Wang Qiaoqiao's presence, Ye Yun didn't get another chance to talk to Gu Fei. Although he felt a twinge of regret, he wasn't particularly disappointed.
Just having such a beautiful and unexpected encounter was already nice enough. He hadn't really expected anything more to come from it—he wasn't the type of guy to fall head over heels for every pretty face.
Besides, he now had the God-Tier Tycoon Lord System. In the future, beautiful women would be the least of his concerns.
"I didn't expect the system to have a feature that could show people's basic information. I wonder if it only works on women..."
Ye Yun mused to himself, realizing he still had a lot to learn about the system's secrets and capabilities.
The flight lasted seven hours. When Ye Yun landed at the Hawaii airport, it was still noon local time.
"An 18-hour time difference... I really should've read up more in advance."
Standing in the terminal, he felt the salty sea breeze brushing against his face and sighed.
Scanning the crowd, he didn't spot Gu Fei, so he tucked away that fleeting thought and exited the airport.
As soon as he stepped outside, he opened WeChat on his phone. As expected, there were a lot of @mentions from the class group chat—people asking when he would arrive in Hawaii and wanting to see his estate.
Ye Yun chuckled. This was the perfect chance to flex.
So he snapped a few photos at the airport and posted them along with a selfie with Gu Fei from the plane to the group chat and his Moments feed.
"Just landed in Hawaii. Good evening, everyone!"
"Ran into a big celebrity on the flight. Lucky day!"
Since he had committed to this persona, he was going to go all in.
Didn't they mock him before? Well, now they could keep laughing.
As soon as the pictures went up, the group chat and comment section exploded.
"Holy crap! Ye Yun, you weren't kidding!"
"Wait, isn't that Gu Fei?! How is she with Ye Yun?"
"Don't tell me they're...?"
"Ye Yun, damn! You actually went to Hawaii? You really have an estate there?!"
"Sugar daddy Ye, take me in! Need a sidekick?"
"Bro, first class and sitting next to Gu Fei? You're the real deal!"
"Dude's a goddamn legend."
"Didn't Gu Fei say she'd be traveling to Hawaii soon? Now she's on the same flight as Ye Yun? Was this planned?"
"Damn it, I'm jealous!"
Zhang Gang, who had been silently lurking in the group, now felt a complicated wave of emotions.
And yes, it included a strong dose of jealousy.
…
Ye Yun read the messages and couldn't help but smile. Then he typed a reply:
"I've kept this hidden long enough. Time to reveal my true identity: I'm rich!"
Naturally, his cheeky message was met with waves of eye-rolls and playful roasting.
After that, Ye Yun followed up with a proper message:
"Just arrived in Hawaii today. Gonna rest up first. Tomorrow, I'll livestream the view and give you all a tour of my estate."
He hit send, put his phone away, and went to find a hotel.
The time difference between Modu City and Hawaii was brutal. He needed some time to adjust. After all, seven hours on a plane had worn him out—and his estate wasn't even on this island.
Ye Yun had landed at Honolulu Airport on Oahu Island, the most developed island in Hawaii. With its bustling city and tourist infrastructure, hotels were easy to find.
He picked one at random, checked in, and collapsed into bed. He slept straight through until the next morning.
