He had forced himself to stop thinking about it, using cooling therapy—not listening, not seeing, as if he had never known Chu Yuan.

But it seems like someone always wants to pierce through it!

Before Xiao Dong came in—

Jiang Yang forwarded a photo to Shen Xizhou.

[Emma, ​​why did she go and take the clerk exam? Did she know you were being transferred to the High Court and deliberately try to get there?]

Shen Xizhou: [Jiang Baitong, where did you get this photo?]

[Don't ask, I'm not going to name anyone else. Anyway, it wasn't you who sent it to me!]

Don't stretch your arm out too far.

[Tsk, judging from your tone, you recognized me?]

My vision was 5.3 during my physical exam.

[What is the necessary relationship between good eyesight and face blindness?]

[What kind of face blindness?]

[What?! Don't you have face blindness? How come you still can't recognize several of your superiors after working for so many years? So this condition only affects unattractive people, and not beautiful people at all?]

Shen Xizhou: ...

They were speechless.

He was too lazy to say that he wasn't actually face-blind; he just didn't like dealing with those leaders.

Besides, all the leaders in the world seem to be cut from the same mold: beer bellies, slight bald patches, oily faces, fake smiles, and amiable faces. Sometimes he was even afraid that he would become like that one day!

[Are you bored just because others are bored?] Shen Xizhou lashed out at Jiang Yang, but couldn't help clicking on the photo and zooming in to look at it.

In the photo, Chu Yuan is youthful and beautiful, like a graceful white swan.

He didn't even need to look for it; he recognized it at a glance, which made him even more surprised and complicated.

I've met her several times, and each time she gives off a different vibe.

The first time was during the court hearing, when she was at home but looked a bit haggard. The second time was when we "ran into each other" in the neighborhood, when she was dressed casually and neatly. The third time was during the job interview when she was dressed smartly and capablely. The fourth time was the same as in today's photo, when she was youthful, energetic, and charming, making this old cadre look several years older.

This difference made Shen Xizhou feel slightly uncomfortable.

Before he could even figure out the source of this discomfort, Jiang Yang couldn't contain himself any longer and started spamming messages:

[Shen Xizhou, if you can't even accept such a top-tier beauty, you'll probably end up alone for the rest of your life!]

[Bro, good things don't last forever. Haven't you seen a few younger guys secretly glancing at her? She's surrounded by wolves, and she's love-struck. Aren't you worried?]
