Chapter 622: 336 The person in memory_2

Bai Ye grew even more displeased; listening to Zhao Qiankun’s words, he felt that he was shamelessly flirting with his Xinxin! He almost wished he could smash that irritating face with a slap!

Fang Yuxin’s tone became even colder, “Mr. Zhao, if I remember correctly, you already have a girlfriend, don’t you? That kiss at the party yesterday was really quite the romantic spectacle. Your girlfriend is so beautiful; I wouldn’t want her to misunderstand. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up.”

“Wait!” Just as Fang Yuxin was about to hang up, Zhao Qiankun suddenly called out. His gaze held depth, and even through the screen, Yuxin could not shake the feeling that he was looking at her. Then, she heard him say, “You really remind me of my first love. She was a classmate and her name was Xinxin, too. Don’t you think that’s a fateful coincidence?”

Bai Ye was livid, mentally cursing that he had no fate with that guy; even if there was, it would have been a calamitous one! He looked discontentedly at Fang Yuxin and gestured with his eyes—why bother with him? Just hang up already!

But this time, Fang Yuxin ignored him, fixating her gaze on Zhao Qiankun’s face on the screen. Then she said, “Mr. Zhao, that pickup line is outdated. Besides, I have no interest in being someone’s mistress. If that’s your intention, then don’t contact me again.” With that said, she hung up the call.

On the side, Bai Ye was sulking: “What were you staring at him for? What’s so good about that guy? He’s not even as good-looking as I am!” He had always been praised for his good looks from a young age, something he rarely cared about, yet this time, he couldn’t help but blurt those words out, stimulated by the way Fang Yuxin had been staring at Zhao Qiankun.

Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but laugh at him, seeing him sulking there. She leaned closer, extended her slender finger to lift his chin, and teased, “Handsome, how about a smile for me?”

Bai Ye was taken aback and gawked at her with his peach-blossom eyes, looking exceptionally adorable. Yuxin couldn’t resist cupping his face with her hands, kneading his handsome visage back and forth, making Bai Ye look utterly stunned, like a virtuous woman being bullied by a ruffian.

At first, Bai Ye felt sulky, but Fang Yuxin’s teasing quickly brought him back to his senses, and his rationality gradually returned. He clasped Fang Yuxin’s mischievous hand in his palm, leaned back on the sofa, and asked her, “Did you just discover something? Why were you staring at his face? Do you think he’s had plastic surgery?”

Bai Ye’s guess was wild, yet as he spoke, he rubbed his chin and somewhat maliciously sought to find traces of surgery on Zhao Qiankun’s face.

Fang Yuxin looked at him expressionlessly, “Don’t even think about it; his face definitely hasn’t gone under the knife.” Seeing Bai Ye seemed somewhat deflated, she continued, “I just thought that he might really be a classmate I had before. He’s changed his appearance, so I didn’t recognize him.”

Still thinking about plastic surgery, Bai Ye was startled when he heard her and looked at Fang Yuxin in astonishment, “What? He’s your classmate?”

Fang Yuxin nodded. She had previously speculated with her family about Zhao Qiankun’s identity, even considering the possibility that he was a former classmate, but had dismissed it as unlikely. But this time, hearing Zhao Qiankun talk about a classmate and first love named ‘Xinxin,’ she looked into his eyes, feeling that he wasn’t lying.

Then, she couldn’t help but think back to her school days. Upon reflection, she suddenly remembered someone. That person was a classmate, always dressed plainly, even somewhat shabbily—rumored to be from the mountains and not well off.

He seemed uneasy in the big city of Beishi and didn’t fit in well with classmates. Yet often, she caught him stealing glances at her. Detecting this, she didn’t expose him to avoid embarrassment. When it came time to take the graduation photo, he boldly approached her, asking to take a picture with her.

She neither liked nor disliked him and, reasoning that after graduation she wouldn’t see him again, agreed to his modest request. After graduation, she returned to Market and hadn’t attended any reunions, so she never saw him again and didn’t know what became of him.

During the call, Zhao Qiankun enabled the video and, comparing his face with that of her former classmate, she found their features quite similar, making her suspect that Zhao Qiankun could very well be that same classmate. She remembered his name seemed to be Zhao Dawei—a very common and even rustic name, prompting some to teasingly nickname him “Mighty Brother.”

Watching her reminisce made Bai Ye jealous—was she seriously thinking about another man?

Seeing Fang Yuxin with a puzzled frown, he asked her, “If you’ve thought of something, feel free to speak up. I can help think it through with you.”

Fang Yuxin took his suggestion and brought out a blank Jade Scroll, impressing her recollection of that classmate and Zhao Qiankun’s image onto the Jade Scroll using her Spiritual Sense. She handed it to Bai Ye, “Take a look, doesn’t he resemble Zhao Qiankun?”

Bai Ye held the Jade Scroll, pressed it to his forehead, and probed with his Spiritual Sense. After a moment of examining, his expression shifted slightly. Setting down the Jade Scroll, he said, “The facial features of this person do bear some resemblance to Zhao Qiankun, especially the eyes. Without careful comparison, they seem to be unrelated, but once you do, it’s clear they’re the same person!”

At that point, even he was at a loss for words, having merely guessed before, only to discover that Zhao Qiankun had indeed changed his appearance! But his face didn’t look surgically altered, and he had grown taller too—what was going on? (. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
