Chapter 286 Identity
Orange dots danced in the sky, and before they knew it, it was almost dawn. Chen Zhu turned his head and looked at Huo Jinzhi.
Without her saying anything, Huo Jinzhi understood what she meant and even offered an excuse: "Have you figured out how to meet her?"
Wu Liuxing had already forced his way to the door, and if they didn't take any action, it would seem that they were too kind.
"I'm planning to ask her out for dinner. We need to find a reliable place, so Gongsun Mei can arrange it. We can always find something else to talk about."
Chen Zhu's eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to walk to Huo Jinzhi's side, holding his arm obediently and shaking it gently twice.
Her pretending to be well-behaved attitude made Huo Jinzhi laugh helplessly, so he took the opportunity to pick her up like a princess.
The warm embrace resisted the cold morning wind. Chen Zhu hooked his arm around Huo Jinzhi's neck and kissed him on the face several times.
"I knew you would agree to my idea!"
The cheers that were so excited that they almost overflowed blew away the sorrow of the night.
Huo Jinzhi felt her active intimacy, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he restrained himself and hugged her a little tighter, stroking her slender waist with his fingers again and again.
"I'll be by your side to protect you, maybe just next door. If anything goes wrong, just let me know."
He sighed and could only give in.
In front of Shen Zhuyi, all his persistence and bottom line seemed to have completely disappeared. He could only follow her will and let her take charge of everything.
"Okay!" Chen Zhu agreed readily.
With Lao Lin watching over the feeding and other matters, they didn't need to worry about it anymore. Huo Jinzhi first carried Chen Zhu back to the room to rest: "Recover enough energy before the fight!"
Perhaps because she had two bodies, Chen Zhuyi leaned in Huo Jinzhi's arms and slept very soundly. It was unknown how long it took before she finally woke up.
The afterglow of the setting sun mercifully shone on the wardrobe in the room, leaving behind a last touch of warmth. When Chen Zhu saw the empty space around him, he was a little unresponsive.
After waking up, Chen Zhuyi went out. Outside the door stood an old woman who had been waiting for a long time. Her hair was still a little gray. When she saw Chen Zhuyi, her eyes turned red and she spoke respectfully about the arrangements.
"My uncle has already gone out. He said you must eat something to fill your stomach when you wake up."
The rice porridge was still cooking. Chen Zhu felt a warmth and nodded with a smile. He quickly ate and drank enough and had strength again. However, he just missed the right opportunity.
"Where is he?" Chen Zhuyi was waiting for Huo Jinzhi to go with him to find Gongsun Mei.
Zhou Siwei came trotting over, probably having heard something, and now she took Chen Zhuyi's hand and said, "Sister, let's get going quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Such a hurried performance made Chen Zhuyi, who was still confused, follow him out and was still dazed when sitting in the car.
"What's the important matter? We even prepared a car for you?" Chen Zhu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Siwei was a smart kid, but he still had to put on a serious expression, with a sly smile on his face: "Of course it's something important, so it's worth preparing a car for me."
"Brother-in-law said that it will make your wish come true."
This road seemed to have been cleared in advance, probably because they didn't want Chen Zhuyi to encounter any accidents. The driver smiled and said, "Mr. Huo checked this car several times."
Because of his recent unexpected physical condition, Chen Zhuyi was not frightened, but Huo Jinzhi was very frightened and wished he could experience the same thing himself.
The route gradually overlapped with Shen Zhuyi's memory, and even became somewhat familiar. She knew the destination, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She leaned against the car and watched the scenery flashing outside.
The hotel was magnificent and there were countless service staff waiting outside. When they saw the vehicle, they all came forward. The red carpet was also laid out and was extremely exquisite, as if they were waiting for distinguished guests to arrive.
Such a grand welcome ceremony made the originally tense Chen Zhuyi more relaxed and he smiled: "Since when did you start preparing these face-saving projects?"
"You are now the benefactor who saved the old man. I will worship you." Gongsun Mei said sincerely without any sarcasm.
Zhou Siwei walked on the red carpet seriously like a little star, walking like a fish in water, with a hint of excitement on his little face.
Another car also drove over. Wu Liuxing drove over himself. When he saw Chen Zhuyi appear in front of him safely, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Miss Chen, how are you?" Wu Liuxing said sarcastically. He was helped out of the car and tugged at his shawl. "There should be nothing to say between you and me, right?"
"Whether there's anything to say or not, you'll know once you get up there." Chen Zhuyi's smile faded a bit as he retorted coldly.
This verbal battle was also due to Wu Liuxing's good intentions to test her, but she didn't analyze anything from Chen Zhuyi's words. Instead, she felt that she was being ignored and was being humbled.
"Then please lead the way, Miss Shen." Wu Liuxing deliberately belittled Shen Zhuyi and treated her as a waitress here.
Gongsun Mei was no pushover. "Miss Wu, you're so young, isn't your brain working well? You've been here so many times, and you've said before that you can find your way with your eyes closed, right?"
The tone of sarcasm and mockery was almost evident.
After hitting two snags in a row, Wu Liuxing rolled his eyes and followed them in silence.
The door of the box was open. Chen Zhuyi walked over first and sat in the main seat. Gongsun Mei tactfully did not disturb them and left by making up an excuse.
There were many delicious dishes on the huge dining table, but there were only two people sitting there, making it seem a bit deserted.
"You want to talk to me alone?" The joy and excitement in Wu Liuxing's eyes were about to overflow. If she could fire a shot, she could carry Chen Zhuyi away.
This eager attitude made Chen Zhuyi tut in annoyance, and he said in understanding: "If something happens to me today, I'm afraid you won't survive."
"We're the only ones here today. I don't want to waste time on those roundabout ways. I just want to ask you, who are you? And what is your wish?"
Wu Liuxing thought about what Chen Zhu would say later, but he didn't expect that she would ask about this matter. His heart trembled, and he pretended to be calm.
"I am Wu Liuxing, what wish can I have?"
Her brain was thinking rapidly. Even Yao Zongliang didn't notice that the person in this body had changed. Could Chen Zhuyi have guessed it based on other people's descriptions?
Or did this lucky woman know something?
Or maybe, she also has a system?
"System, please come out quickly. Is there a major bug in this book? Why was she able to guess my identity?"
Countless thoughts were like a surging tsunami, almost drowning Wu Liuxing.
