Chapter 23 is simply talking to a wall.
The person who spoke was of course Cheng Luanxin.
She strode forward: "You want a blind box, right? I'm the best at opening blind boxes. I'll write it for her."
The clerk covered his mouth in surprise: "Ahhh it's Qiu Chi!"
Song Qiuchi: "..."
How come everyone knows this person?
Cheng Luanxin was very satisfied with the shoes the clerk picked out for her: "These shoes are really nice. If I had known earlier, I would have bought them here too."
The clerk nodded and said, "Yes, actually, children's shoes are now available in sizes up to 40 or so, which is perfectly suitable for adults, and the prices are even more affordable. Are you two also filming the show today? Why don't I see any staff members?"
Cheng Luanxin lowered her head while writing and replied, "We're not recording the show today. We're just out shopping to prepare for the next event."
The clerk looked gossipy: "Just the two of you?"
Song Qiuchi paused and said, "No, there's also Du Zhiruo."
The clerk visibly wilted. "Ah? And Du Zhiruo."
Cheng Luanxin quickly wrote down two lines of lyrics on her notebook and handed it to the clerk: "Open it, it's a blind box."
The clerk carefully held the account book in his hand and read the lyrics written on it, with a hint of confusion on his face.
"Which song is this lyric from... I don't remember it... Is there really such a song? Luanbao, do you think she wrote it wrong?"
She pushed the account book in front of Song Qiuchi in confusion, motioning for her to take a look.
Song Qiuchi had no idea what was going on and cast a puzzled look at Cheng Luanxin.
Cheng Luanxin clapped her hands: "Ding-dang! Congratulations on winning the hidden blind box! Here are the lyrics to Luanxin's next new song!"
The clerk's eyes suddenly widened: "Luanbao, is this true?"
Song Qiuchi had no choice but to say, "Really, these are my unpublished lyrics. I don't know how she got to see them."
The clerk's expression instantly became one of great surprise, as if he had gotten something great.
Song Qiuchi was afraid that the two uncertainties in front of him would cause any more trouble, so he said, "Then we'll leave first. We still have a lot of things to buy, so you go ahead."
Cheng Luanxin waved to the clerk: "Keep working hard!"
The clerk nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to the early release of Luanbao's new song and the early broadcast of "Romance to You"! Can I post the lyrics on Weibo?"
Song Qiuchi looked at Cheng Luanxin hesitantly.
Cheng Luanxin didn't care about these things: "Give it to me, give it to me, I won the hidden blind box, why not give it to me!"
The two left the store under the watchful eyes of the store clerk.
Song Qiuchi lowered his eyes: "Why are you here?"
Cheng Luan said bitterly, "I was worried that you wouldn't be well prepared for your first purchase of children's shoes, so I came to see you. I didn't expect you to be so capable. You hooked up with my fans after just a few minutes of not seeing you."
Song Qiuchi: "...Who is flirting with your fans? Watch your words."
Cheng Luanxin: "That's you! Look at you, you didn't do a good job of research before hooking up, and you can't even recite the lyrics of one of my songs. If I hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't you have been exposed?"
Song Qiuchi: "..."
I don't really want to talk to her.
"Who is that girl? Did she tell you her online name?"
"I said it, it seems to be... Berry Bubbles."
"Berry Bubbles?!" Cheng Luanxin's voice was loud enough to attract the attention of those around them. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Berry Bubbles is a frequent visitor to my livestream! I'm so sorry for neglecting her. How about I go back and sign a few more autographs for her?"
Song Qiuchi thought to himself that he should not go back. One Luanbao was already deadly enough, and now there was another Paomei. He really couldn't stand such a torture.
She changed the subject: "Where's Du Zhiruo?"
Cheng Luanxin's attention was indeed drawn away: "What are you talking about? You just left without saying anything. Zhiruo thought you were unhappy and asked me to comfort you. Hey, why do you need me to comfort you? I see that you are very happy."
Song Qiuchi: "...How can you tell that I'm happy?"
"If you were unhappy, how could you still be thinking about flirting with me and picking up girls..." Cheng Luan said halfway through her thoughts, but she noticed that Song Qiuchi's face was not right, so she changed her words belatedly, "Song Qiuchi, you are not really unhappy, are you?"
Song Qiuchi didn't want to say more to her: "It's okay."
Cheng Luanxin leaned forward and asked, "You call this expression 'alright'?"
Song Qiuchi pushed her away angrily and strode forward.
Cheng Luanxin immediately trotted after her: "Why are you still in a bad mood? Hey, even if Zhiruo and I have couple bags and shoes, you don't have to be so jealous. At most, we can just buy the same sun-protective clothing. Besides, I'm representing you now, so this is basically for your benefit..."
Song Qiuchi couldn't stand it any longer. Just a moment ago, they were wearing the same bag and shoes, but now they were a couple's bag and shoes. She even found it a little funny: "Cheng Luanxin, do you really think I'm jealous of you?"
Cheng Luanxin was stunned by the question: "What else?"
Song Qiuchi didn't like gossiping behind people's backs: "Have you ever thought that people change?"
Du Zhiruo will become smooth and materialistic, and her heart will no longer be affected by Du Zhiruo.
Cheng Luanxin didn't understand what Song Qiuchi was talking about: "Ah? Really? You haven't changed at all. Your speech is still so hard to understand..."
Song Qiuchi: "..."
It's like talking to a cow.
Song Qiuchi held his breath in his chest, shook off Cheng Luanxin, and walked straight forward.
Cheng Luanxin looked puzzled and stopped chasing after him, which would have been boring. She just followed behind him and kept muttering, "Why are you so petty..."
The two returned to the outdoor lifestyle center one after the other. Du Zhiruo, who was watching a merchant operate a drone with a group of children, noticed the two returning and waved enthusiastically.
Song Qiuchi nodded to Du Zhiruo and went directly to the counter next door to pick out disposable clothes.
Cheng Luan returned to Du Zhiruo in frustration: "You're right, you're really angry with me."
Du Zhiruo smiled: "Then you can coax her."
Cheng Luan felt aggrieved and said, "I did coax her. She was fine at first, but after I said a few words, she became even angrier. I even helped her out, but this is simply repaying kindness with hatred."
Du Zhiruo was curious: "Help her out? What happened just now?"
Cheng Luan thought about it and felt that the matter was too complicated to explain, so she evaded the question by saying, "It's nothing serious, just a small matter."
Du Zhiruo pursed her lips and smiled helplessly: "I always feel that there is a tacit understanding between you and Luanxin that others cannot reach. I envy you a little.
Cheng Luanxin was surprised: "We have a tacit understanding?"
Du Zhiruo nodded: "Haven't you noticed? The way you speak and act now is very similar to Luanxin's before. On the contrary, Luanxin has become calm and capable. How should I put it, it's as if the two of you have swapped souls."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Cheng Luanxin was choked by her own saliva. She never expected that Du Zhiruo was so insightful and realized the truth so quickly.
"What's wrong?" Du Zhiruo patted Cheng Luanxin's back. "Did my idea scare you?"
"No, no." Cheng Luanxin calmed herself down: "You have a really wild imagination. How could something as outrageous as a soul swap happen?"
She observed Du Zhiruo's expression calmly, fearing that she would reveal her true identity again.
Du Zhiruo still had a smile on her gentle face: "Just talking casually, let's go take a look at disposable clothes."
Cheng Luanxin quickly said, "Okay, I know a very cost-effective disposable underwear that is very comfortable to wear. Let's see if we have that brand here."
Du Zhiruo followed behind Cheng Luanxin and gradually stopped smiling.
She opened her phone's search engine and silently searched: "Do soul swapping really exist?"
Halfway through typing, she felt ridiculous, shook her head slightly, and pressed the delete button.
She casually opened Weibo and refreshed the topic of "Romance to You".
A Weibo post with the tag "Chi Xin An Xu" caught my eye:
"I just ran into Luanbao and Qiuchi while shopping. I got a special lottery ticket that Qiuchi wrote for Luanbao. It's said to be the lyrics for Luanbao's new song! Who wouldn't say they're hooked when they see this?!"
Du Zhiruo clicked on the picture and saw two lines of words written on the exquisite notebook.
Others only care about the content of the lyrics, but she is deeply attracted by the font.
It can be seen that the font has been deliberately controlled, but the subtle connection habits between the strokes are exactly the same as Cheng Luanxin's.
Du Zhiruo's heart moved.
It is difficult for people to change their writing habits. Cheng Luanxin has given her so many poems, it is impossible for her to make a mistake in the handwriting.
This shouldn't be a coincidence.
