Chapter 52: Xu Yihuan! Apology
Tan Zhixu's gaze inexplicably became intensely hot.
Xu Yihuan instinctively flinched.
Realizing what had happened, Xu Yihuan cursed herself for being such a coward.
He looked up again, smiled, and greeted Tan Zhixu.
"What a coincidence, you're eating here too?"
"Hmm," Tan Zhixu responded faintly.
"What are you doing...?"
Tan Zhixu looked at Xu Yihuan with confusion, not understanding why she had made herself look like this again.
Xu Yihuan glanced down at her formal attire and the water stains on her clothes.
He explained with a smile, "Oh, I was attending a business meeting here, and the soup spilled on me."
Tan Zhixu nodded knowingly.
Immediately, Xu Yihuan saw him stub out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray.
He casually took off his coat.
Then, he handed the coat to himself.
Xu Yihuan did not answer.
What are you doing?
Tan Zhixu raised an eyebrow: "What? Do you want me to help you get dressed?"
Tan Zhixu did not lower his hand as he handed over the clothes.
Xu Yihuan took it instinctively.
“Since it’s the Bureau of Commerce, it’s not really appropriate for you to go back like this. Besides, it’s cold at night, and you’re more likely to catch a cold if your clothes are wet,” Tan Zhixu explained.
As if noticing that Xu Yihuan had no reaction, Tan Zhixu lowered his eyes after a while and continued, "Consider it a thank you gift for lending me the notebook."
After speaking, Tan Zhixu cautiously observed Xu Yihuan's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
The red mole between his eyebrows tightened.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan stopped being coy and put on Tan Zhixu's coat.
"Thank you, I'll take it to the dry cleaners next time and return it to you."
Tan Zhixu had just been smoking, but there was little smell of smoke on his jacket. Instead, there was a refreshing minty scent that made one feel relaxed and happy.
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu's tense brows finally relaxed.
"OK."
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Xu Yihuan nodded and followed Tan Zhixu back towards her private room.
Tan Zhixu returned to the private room.
They were still having a lively conversation inside.
The smell of alcohol was so strong it was almost overflowing.
Tan Zhixu returned to his seat, while Qiu Tianyi was still playing games.
I was startled when I suddenly saw Tan Zhixu's appearance.
After Tan Zhixu took off his coat, he was left wearing only an old man's vest.
He looked as if he had been robbed on his way here.
"Damn, were you robbed on your way back? Where are your clothes?"
Tan Zhixu took his phone and put it in his pocket.
What clothes?
"The coat!"
"Oh, I don't know either. It's probably left in the toilet. I'll just leave it there."
Qiu Tianyi's mind suddenly went blank.
So you just throw away those clothes like that? Isn't Brother Tan's family very poor? How can he be so extravagant?
"Should we move to another location or not?" Tan Zhixu asked, patting Qiu Tianyi on the shoulder as he watched him still pondering.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tianyi seemed to have triggered some key word.
He immediately stood up: "Let's go!"
He'd wanted to leave a long time ago! No! If I'd told him it would be this boring, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all!
After Tan Zhixu and Qiu Tianyi left, the other students in the private room soon prepared to leave as well.
"Let's go, let's go, next up is karaoke!!"
"gogogo!!"
Although they said they were going to a karaoke bar, almost everyone in the private room had already left.
Only the two class leaders and some playful students remained.
A group of people walked out the door, chatting.
Just as they reached the door, a figure sitting on the ground inexplicably caught their attention.
The group of people walked over to take a look without prior arrangement.
"Xu Yihuan?"
Xu Yihuan was sitting on the ground in front of the hotel playing a match-3 game.
They have already seen the customer off.
Xu Yihuan was thinking of inviting Tan Zhixu for a late-night snack, but she didn't have his contact information.
So she thought she would sit at the door and wait for him.
Just then, he heard a voice calling his name.
Xu Yihuan paused in her game of Candy Crush.
He looked up and gazed over.
A group of classmates were standing not far away, watching him.
Xu Yihuan suddenly remembered the location she had seen on her phone earlier that day.
Champs-Élysées Hotel...
No way? What a coincidence?
So, the reason for discussing Zhixu was actually because of the gathering?
Xu Yihuan felt as if she had suddenly had an epiphany.
Zhou Yanzhe frowned as he looked at Xu Yihuan in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" And why are you dressed like this?
Zhou Yanzhe looked at Xu Yihuan's clothes and felt that they were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
"Huanhuan, why are you wearing Tan Zhixu's clothes?"
Upon seeing this scene, Wu Qingqing blurted out.
Zhou Yanzhe glanced at Wu Qingqing and then at Xu Yihuan.
His face suddenly turned ugly.
No wonder he felt it was familiar; it really was Tan Zhixu's clothes.
Tan Zhixu only came for a short while today; I didn't expect they had already met privately...
Xu Yihuan glanced at Wu Qingqing: "If you have an eye problem, go see a doctor."
Xu Yihuan scanned the crowd but didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Thinking about it, Tan Zhixu must have left first.
Never mind, I'll thank him next time I have the chance.
Xu Yihuan turned around and wanted to leave.
Zhou Yanzhe watched Xu Yihuan's retreating figure.
The scene I saw at the gate today inexplicably flashed through my mind.
The girl who was admitted through the special admission program seemed to be about the same height as Xu Yihuan.
Zhou Yanzhe suddenly felt a little nervous. That person couldn't possibly be Xu Yihuan, could it?
A guaranteed admission spot... It seems Xu Yihuan also has a guaranteed admission spot.
In his memory, Xu Yihuan should have taken the regular college entrance examination.
Because he saw her WeChat Moments post on the day the college entrance exam ended.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yanzhe felt a little more relaxed.
Xu Yihuan was about to walk away.
For some reason, Zhou Yanzhe stepped forward first and grabbed Xu Yihuan's wrist.
Their conflict has dragged on for far too long.
Now it's time to resolve this.
Xu Yihuan's wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Startled by the warm touch on her wrist, Xu Yihuan quickly shook it off.
"No way, are you sick in the head?"
Zhou Yanzhe looked at Xu Yihuan in disbelief, clearly not expecting her to push him away.
Wu Qingqing noticed Zhou Yanzhe's reaction.
I feel uneasy.
How did that bitch Xu Yihuan become so smart?
They even know how to play hard to get!
Wu Qingqing quickly ran forward two steps.
He draped his coat over Xu Yihuan's shoulders.
This is the coat she asked Zhou Yanzhe for because it was too cold.
Both are couple styles.
"Huanhuan, it's getting late and a bit chilly. Put your coat on."
Xu Yihuan had just noticed that the jacket was a men's style, while they were wearing matching outfits.
She thought their wedding was imminent, but it turns out it wasn't...
Otherwise, why would Zhou Yanzhe go to such lengths to arrest him?
I felt a warm breeze mixed with the cool air.
The coat almost fell on me.
Xu Yihuan felt nauseous and subconsciously reached out to push Wu Qingqing.
No sooner had she reached out than Wu Qingqing began to fall backward.
Hey, Xu Yihuan is so angry just looking at this.
He reached out and forcefully pushed Wu Qingqing away.
She and her smelly coat, get the hell out of here!
Wu Qingqing originally only intended to give it a light tumble.
But when pushed so hard, one can't control their own strength.
It fell straight backward.
Wu Qingqing instinctively covered herself with her hands.
The result was that a large patch of skin was scraped off my arm.
His forearm was exposed, a bloody mess; it looked painful.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yanzhe's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly ran to Wu Qingqing's side to help her up.
"Qingqing!"
"Xu Yihuan, are you sick in the head? Apologize to Qingqing right now!"
Wu Qingqing tugged at Zhou Yanzhe's clothes.
"Don't blame Huanhuan, I think she's angry. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have worn your clothes."
Zhou Yanzhe's veins throbbed at these words.
He had thought that Xu Yihuan's lack of visits during this time meant she had undergone gender reassignment surgery. It seems he had overestimated her!
The words were practically squeezed out through clenched teeth: "Xu Yihuan! Apologize!"
