Chapter 457 Oh my god, Zihang is back with his girlfriend?!
Fuzhou Changle Airport was bustling with activity in its departure hall.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi walked out of the arrival gate side by side, both dressed in simple casual clothes.
Chu Zihang was wearing his usual white shirt and black slim-fit trousers, which made him look tall and stern. Anyone who didn't know him would think he was a celebrity.
Xia Mi, on the other hand, wore a white shirt with a plaid skirt and a neat high ponytail, revealing her beautiful neck and collarbone. Although she didn't have super legs like Mai Shude, she was incredibly youthful and beautiful.
Every passerby who saw it turned around and took a second look.
The men envied Chu Zihang's model and girlfriend, while the women envied Xia Mi's face and boyfriend, and both wished they could take their place.
However, both of them were already used to being watched by others. Their purpose for this trip was clear: to find Cheng Shuangfan to take Zhao Xuzhen away and bring him back to the capital.
Zhao Xuzhen was, after all, prey captured by Lu Mingfei. Handing him over to Kassel College for detention was fine if they didn't want him anymore, treating him as a windfall. But when they wanted him back, they would have to obediently hand him over with both hands.
As the two walked through the crowd and prepared to exit the airport, Chu Zihang's gaze inadvertently swept over a security checkpoint not far away, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Xia Mi followed his gaze and saw several stylish and youthful high school girls queuing up to board the plane.
Xia Mi still remembered the girl in the light blue dress who had a gentle and quiet demeanor; her name was Liu Miaomiao.
Back in Shilan Middle School, she was a famous piano prodigy and had a pure and unambiguous affection for Chu Zihang.
Oh, a defeated opponent, nothing special.
Xia Mi lost interest and turned to look at Chu Zihang, who had only glanced at her briefly before looking away, and said with a smile:
"I think the rumors about us dating a while ago were spread by them, right? Do you want to go and clarify them?"
She bumped into Chu Zihang by chance at the amusement park before, and they were even secretly photographed. That night, all the students at Shilan Middle School knew that Chu Zihang had a girlfriend.
Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang glanced at her sideways and asked in confusion, "Can you clarify that it's not a rumor?"
"Dream on." Xia Mi raised her hand and slapped him.
There wasn't even a proper ceremony, not even a word of confession, and not even a single flower, yet you thought you could trick me into your hands?
And even if I lied first, putting aside the facts, are you completely without fault?
If you weren't so good-looking, so lonely, so intriguing, or so close to your father on the elevated highway at night, would I even give you a second glance?
snort!
Chu Zihang smiled silently, and the two walked forward side by side.
Just before the two disappeared into the crowd, Liu Miaomiao and her friends also saw Chu Zihang and Xia Mi's intimate interaction. The three girls' eyes revealed complex and indescribable emotions.
There was amazement, envy, but more than anything, a bittersweet sense of "just as I expected" and disappointment.
The lofty, cold, and aloof snow mountain that was once the most insurmountable in the hearts of all the girls at Shilan Middle School was eventually climbed up, its ice and snow melted, and the unique scenery at the summit was revealed.
"Sigh..." A short-haired girl sighed softly and said in a low voice to her companion who hadn't gone to the amusement park last time:
"See that? The one next to Senior Brother Chu is his girlfriend. I heard her name is Xia Mi. She's also from Kassel College. She's really beautiful."
Another girl wearing glasses pushed up her glasses, her tone quite complicated: "Being good-looking is something else. Standing next to us ordinary people, we don't even look like we're in the same league."
They weren't exaggerating at all when they said that. Even though Liu Miaomiao was privately known as one of the three most beautiful girls in the school, she was just a slightly attractive elite in front of that girl.
The three of them whispered among themselves, and the topic of conversation gradually shifted to Zhao Menghua, who had always been overshadowed by Chu Zihang and was known as the second Chu Zihang.
The short-haired girl pouted and said, "Speaking of which, didn't Zhao Menghua and Chen Wenwen organize a trip to Chongqing before? As a result, they almost ended up in jail the next day, ruining their whole vacation."
The girl with glasses immediately chimed in, her tone laced with disdain: "You can know a person's face but not their heart. That guy Zhao Menghua usually acts all respectable, but he actually tried to take advantage of Chen Wenwen while she was drinking!"
I heard that even... even that kind of thing was bought two boxes in advance!
If Lu Mingfei hadn't happened to be traveling there and intervened to uphold justice, Chen Wenwen's life would have been ruined!
She paused, then said with even greater indignation, "Someone like him dared to compare himself to 'the second Chu Zihang' before. He was simply lowering Chu's standards and ruining his reputation!"
As Liu Miaomiao listened to her friends' discussion, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Her previous impression of Zhao Menghua wasn't too bad. Although she thought he was a bit arrogant, he was indeed talented, came from a good family, and was good-looking. Given that Chu Zihang was like Mount Everest, unattainable, Zhao Menghua was once considered by her and some other girls as a second-best option and a substitute for Chu Zihang.
But after the incident in Shancheng was exposed, Zhao Menghua's image in her mind completely collapsed. His talent, wealth, and good looks all seemed insignificant in the face of such a despicable act of drunken promiscuity.
She has been removed from the list of high-quality potential partners.
However, she was gentle by nature and didn't like gossiping behind people's backs, especially about such unsavory things. So she just gave a soft "hmm" to brush it off, and turned her gaze back to the direction of Chu Zihang and Xia Mi, who had already disappeared. She sighed in her heart that the white moonlight is always the white moonlight, so beautiful.
He found such a great girlfriend.
But the short-haired girl's gossipy nature had already been ignited, and she continued to chatter on and on:
"But Lu Mingfei really went all out. I heard he beat Zhao Menghua so badly that even his mother couldn't recognize him and he turned into a pig's head. I guess he's settling old scores with new ones."
他以前那么喜欢陈雯雯，还老被赵孟华他们欺负，爱而不得又因爱生恨，找着机会肯定是可劲儿揍赵孟华。
However, he's now found a beautiful Japanese girlfriend and has fallen for someone else. I heard that Chen Wenwen even went to thank him later, but he wouldn't even let her in the door..."
The girls' chatter gradually faded into the depths of the passage as they passed through security.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi naturally didn't hear the gossip behind their backs. As they walked out of the airport, the hot, fresh air hit them, and they immediately saw Cheng Shuangfan leaning against a black SUV.
Cheng Shuangfan still maintained his professional, white-collar demeanor. Seeing Chu Zihang and Xia Mi emerge, he raised his hand in greeting.
"Zihang, Xiami, welcome back! You two gave me a wonderful surprise." Cheng Shuangfan smiled as she opened the car door. "Get in first, it's hot outside."
After the two got into the car, it drove smoothly away from the airport.
As Cheng Shuangfan drove, she said, "That kid Zhao Xuzhen is still locked up obediently. Speaking of which, Mingfei specifically asked you to make a trip to pick him up. Is there some new development in the capital?"
I even suggested to him before that Gao Mi and Wan Boqian send the person over to you, so you wouldn't have to run back and forth.
Chu Zihang did not sit in the back with Xia Mi, but in the passenger seat. He replied, "We also came back to take care of some personal matters."
Cheng Shuangfan glanced at Xia Mi in the rearview mirror, a mysterious smile appearing on her face. It was unclear what she was thinking, but she probably assumed that Chu Zihang had finally won Xia Mi over and was preparing to show her off to her mother.
But knowing Chu Zihang's personality, he simply pretended to understand and then brought up another matter, a big one, the kind that has its own page in the family genealogy.
"I found out everything about Fenrir, and even begged the principal to give me a copy of the information. Tsk tsk, it's true that the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach."
Wow, Zihang and Xia Mi, you two are really fierce! That's the Dragon King, and you actually went up and took him down side by side!
And they actually killed him! That was awesome! Absolutely awesome!
He spoke with excitement and pride, even forgetting to maintain his image, and swore in front of the younger generation.
He was happier than anyone else to see his old friend's descendant achieve such great things, and he wished he could catch Shao Nanyin right now, roast her, and serve her to the two children as a snack with their drinks.
The day the news came back, he called to congratulate him immediately. He even opened a bottle of champagne, lit a cigar, played Chu Tianjiao's favorite music, and ate what was supposedly his favorite spicy chicken feet and braised pig intestines to properly comfort his brother Chu in heaven... cough, in the ends of the earth.
Brother, your son is really something! He even managed to take down the Dragon King. I can't even imagine how far he'll go in the future!
Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang's eye twitched almost imperceptibly. He glanced at the rearview mirror but did not reply.
Xia Mi wasn't annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "Uncle Cheng, you're too kind. It's mainly because my senior brother is so capable. I was just helping out and mainly acting as a cheerleader for the atmosphere group."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and shook it, winking at Chu Zihang in the rearview mirror, as if she had returned to the time when she was wearing a cheerleader uniform and cheering for Chu Zihang on the court.
Cheng Shuangfan laughed heartily and asked about the dangers the two had encountered. She was sometimes amazed and sometimes moved, and finally expressed her gratitude to Lu Mingfei for being a timely help and saving the day, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The three chatted all the way and soon arrived at the familiar seaside town. Cheng Shuangfan drove them to the bustling CBD:
"Are you sure you don't need me to take you home?"
"No need, thank you Uncle Cheng." Chu Zihang didn't plan to take Xia Mi to meet his mother yet, otherwise she and her group of girlfriends would definitely go crazy. He still had to finish his business and go back to deal with Odin. He would deal with the enthusiastic middle-aged woman after everything was settled.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on them for you. You can bring them out whenever you need them. I'll also arrange a private plane to take you back to Beijing. The academy will reimburse you, so you don't need to buy tickets yourself," Cheng Shuangfan said before leaving.
Neither of them objected; Kassel College was notorious for its rip-offs, so why not take advantage of them?
Watching Cheng Shuangfan's car drive away, Xia Mi stretched, her beautiful curves displayed in the sunlight. She turned to look at Chu Zihang and blinked, "Where do we go now?"
They brought Zhao Xuzhen back only as a side effect; their real purpose was to see if they could lure out a wild Odin by acting alone, detached from the main group.
After all, any dragon would know not to go near Lu Mingfei, and Odin, being so cunning, certainly wouldn't be so eager to offer himself up for death.
Chu Zihang stared at the bustling street in front of him, remained silent for a few seconds, unsure of what to do.
Just as he was about to say, "How about we eat first?", a young couple walked by with a little boy in their hands. The little boy was making a fuss about wanting to go to the amusement park, and his voice was loud.
Chu Zihang suddenly remembered that Lu Mingfei seemed to have said before they set off that he would take Erii to the amusement park in the capital.
He glanced at Xia Mi beside him and said, "How about going to the amusement park?"
He remembered Xia Mi saying that movie theaters, aquariums, and Ferris wheels were the three most popular dating spots.
He's still missing a formal one...
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she teased, "Oh dear, want to ride a roller coaster again? You can hold my arm~"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zihang pursed his lips, trying his best to maintain a blank expression: "Then let's go to the aquarium instead."
Xia Mi's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer, her smile as sly as a little fox: "Oh~ an aquarium sounds great!"
I wonder if there will be any new or strange little animals at the aquarium this time.
And will someone else, like before, give me a serious lecture about how male seahorses raise their babies in their pouches?
She imitated Chu Zihang's expressionless yet earnest scientific explanation, but she couldn't help but giggle first. Just like Chu Zihang's serious attempt to make her laugh, it attracted the attention of passersby.
Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi, who was laughing so hard she was shaking, and remembered that she had laughed like this all the way back then, but she was even more manic than she was now.
...
Just as the two were about to take a taxi to the aquarium, on the third floor of a bustling shopping mall not far away, several stylish and still attractive middle-aged women pressed their faces against the floor-to-ceiling windows, their eyes wide open, staring intently at the particularly conspicuous young couple not far away.
Leading the group was Chu Zihang's mother, Su Xiaoyan.
She had originally come out shopping with her group of girlfriends today to enjoy a leisurely time, but she never expected to see her son here. He was supposed to be at school, claiming that he was busy with exams and would not be back until summer vacation!
What made her heart race even faster was that there was a girl with her son!
Although the distance was a bit far and I couldn't see her face clearly, the girl had a slender figure and a lively temperament. Just by looking at her back and profile, I knew she couldn't be ugly.
Moreover, the natural intimacy between the two of them was definitely beyond the scope of ordinary classmates!
Su Xiaoyan was well aware of her son's charm; he had been coveted by aunties and older sisters since he was a child, who wished they could take him home as their son-in-law or child husband.
Moreover, being surrounded by these incredibly beautiful older women every day has spoiled my taste. How could a girl who can be by his side and whose attitude is so different be ordinary?
"Am I seeing things? Is that Zihang? Who's that girl next to him? Is she his girlfriend?!"
"It must be! Look, their shoulders are touching! Hey, wait, that girl's already touching him!"
"These aren't a pair, I'll just jump off here!"
"Yan Yan, congratulations! You're going to have a daughter-in-law! Haha!"
"Hey, wait a minute, where are they going? Let's get a taxi!"
Seeing her son fly all the way from the United States just to see this girl, Su Xiaoyan felt curious, excited, and a little nervous, like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.
She was still hesitating whether to call her son or pretend to bump into him, but her group of girlfriends couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing that both of them had already raised their hands to call a taxi, any further delay would mean they wouldn't be able to find anyone.
"What are you standing there for, Xiaoyan? Hurry up and follow her to see what's going on. What if your daughter-in-law runs away?"
"That's right, let's hurry up and drive my new BMW. Zihang has never seen it before and definitely won't recognize it!"
Without giving Su Xiaoyan a chance to object, several usually elegant and reserved young women suddenly transformed into enthusiastic fans, grabbing their bags and rushing towards the elevator in their high heels, drawing the attention of other customers in the shopping mall.
The group rushed to the underground parking lot at an astonishing speed, found the brand-new white BMW, and quickly got in.
The driver displayed driving skills that seemed incongruous with her elegant appearance. With a throttle press, the car roared out of the parking lot, just in time to see the taxi that Chu Zihang and Xia Mi had taken waiting for them.
"There it is, there it is, hurry up and catch up!" Su Xiaoyan was also infected by the atmosphere, her tone filled with urgency and excitement that she herself did not realize.
The white BMW immediately followed silently, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
The aunties in the car chattered excitedly, discussing the girl's height, hairstyle, and clothes, speculating about her personality and family background. Their eyes were filled with the joy of knowing their little ones would grow up to be someone else's sweetheart.
