CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 72: STIRRING UP SCANDAL (PART 2)

After some discussion, Zhou Huaiyi set off alone on his journey to Wuxun. To avoid being recognized with his current face, Zhou Huaiyi specifically booked a flight for the early next morning, arriving at W City airport at around seven o’clock.

Upon landing, he turned on his phone, and the missed calls were countless, all from Sister Yan and Yang Li. Zhou Huaiyi suddenly felt that it was very inconsiderate of him to leave without a word. After much hesitation, he finally sent a text message to Yang Li.

With his luggage in hand, Zhou Huaiyi kept his head down the entire time and hailed a taxi.

Xiang Qichen was naturally tall and had an outstanding aura. No matter how much he tried to hide, he would always catch the eyes of many passersby. Luckily, Zhou Huaiyi was wearing a long down jacket today, with the hood up and a mask on, walking with big strides. Even if passersby noticed something, they didn’t get a chance to come up for a closer look.

The taxi headed straight towards Wuxun. As soon as they exited the Wuxun highway, Zhou Huaiyi immediately called Xiang Qichen.

The person on the other end said plainly, "Come to the cafe next to the alley by your house, private room 07."

Zhou Huaiyi gave the driver the address.

It was just before lunch, and the alley by her house, close to the market, was especially crowded. Zhou Huaiyi looked at the bustling street outside the car window, put on his sunglasses, paid, and got out of the car, entering the cafe within a few steps.

The moment he walked in, a server at the cafe approached, but before she could speak, Zhou Huaiyi raised his hand to point upstairs, indicating he was there to meet someone.

The server was momentarily entranced by his handsome and tall appearance and quickly nodded to let him go upstairs.

Just as he reached the private room door, he heard Kang Xuan’s voice coming from inside, sounding quite impatient: "Zhou Huaiyi, why are you at the cafe so early? And what’s going on with you and Xiang Qichen that you still don’t plan to tell me?"

With that, Zhou Huaiyi smoothly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Xiang Qichen’s gaze instinctively drifted over.

The air momentarily froze.

Kang Xuan looked up at the man in front of her, wearing sunglasses and a mask, and was immediately stunned.

Zhou Huaiyi stepped in, closed the door, went over to sit across from them, and casually took off his sunglasses, hat, and mask.

Kang Xuan’s shocked gaze flickered between the two of them, and she stammered, "You... you’re not... really... are you...?"

Zhou Huaiyi set down his sunglasses and smiled slightly at Kang Xuan in front of him, "No, Old Kang, I am Zhou Huaiyi."

Kang Xuan: "???

Zhou Huaiyi added, "I said, I am Zhou Huaiyi, and he is Xiang Qichen. We’re not in a relationship; everything reported was because we inexplicably swapped souls!"

After a long while, Kang Xuan suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, very funny, Zhou Huaiyi, do you think I’m that gullible?"

She spoke while patting Xiang Qichen beside her.

Xiang Qichen: "..."

Zhou Huaiyi slumped his shoulders in despair and gave Xiang Qichen a look, "See, I told you, no one would believe us."

Kang Xuan stopped laughing in an instant, holding her face in a fangirl-like manner and looked at Zhou Huaiyi, "My idol, tell me, how did my friend win you over?"

Zhou Huaiyi sighed deeply and said, "83, 55, 88."

With these words, Kang Xuan paused in surprise.

How did her idol know her measurements...

A few seconds later, Kang Xuan glared at Xiang Qichen, "Zhou Huaiyi, did you give my measurements to my idol?"

Xiang Qichen: "..."

Zhou Huaiyi was on the verge of tears, grabbing his hair and saying, "You always fart in your sleep, and grind your teeth; even though you can’t handle spicy food, you insist on eating a big bowl of extra spicy snail noodles, which landed you with gastritis, and you ended up at my shop on a drip for three consecutive days; aside from liking Xiang Qichen, you’ve also been a fan of Kobe for many years; back in high school, I used to wake up ten minutes early every day to ride my electric scooter to pick you up for school. You were always not paying attention in class, hiding under the desk reading novels; you didn’t like playing Chopin much, but loved Rachmaninoff. During the art exam in that year of the college entrance exam, you played Debussy’s ’Goldfish,’ and I played ’The Butterfly Lovers.’ Also, you are severely nearsighted, with 540 degrees in your left eye and 560 degrees in your right; you currently wear... contact lenses.)"

Kang Xuan: "..."

Kang Xuan: "Whoa... Is everything correct?"

Zhou Huaiyi shrugged smugly and spread his hands, raising his eyebrows at Xiang Qichen, "Piece of cake."

Xiang Qichen: "..."
