Chapter 111 A man over 25 is 65
Zhou Xubai, who had just gotten into the car and was about to go home, heard his phone ring. He glanced down at it, saw who the message was from, and immediately picked up his phone.
Upon seeing this message, Zhou Xubai's brows furrowed involuntarily.
He remained very restrained and did not have much contact with Ji Wanqing in private, and she did not send him many messages on her own initiative.
Thinking of that brief encounter at the competition venue and the probing during tonight's live broadcast, Zhou Xubai had a bad feeling.
She eventually became suspicious, so even after the broadcast ended, she still wanted to find out what was going on.
Zhou Xubai's fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of his phone as he pondered how to reply.
He understood Ji Wanqing.
When her family fell on hard times, she must have heard that he had already succeeded in starting his own business, but she never contacted him. Instead, she changed all her contact information and disappeared from the lives of acquaintances.
Moreover, he had previously tested the waters during a live stream, and Ji Wanqing had said she didn't want to have any more contact with her ex.
He wasn't ready, or rather, at least not yet ready to let her know that he was a blank slate.
He chose to support her silently without revealing his identity, because he didn't want to cause her any trouble or pressure.
Silence spread through the carriage. He leaned back in his seat and sighed heavily, pinching his brow with two fingers.
He suddenly realized that winning back Ji Wanqing was even more difficult than negotiating a multi-million dollar deal in the business world.
Ultimately, reason prevailed over his urge to be honest.
Blank [Not yet, just left the company and was about to go home. Is something wrong?]
He chose the safest response, throwing the question back at the top of his game. He neither admitted anything nor seemed to deliberately avoid the issue; everything was as normal as if it were just an ordinary chat between a top influencer and a streamer.
He wanted to see what she would say next.
After sending the message, Ji Wanqing did not put down her phone, but lay on the bed waiting for a reply, her heart pounding with anxiety.
After she looked around aimlessly for a few minutes, the other end finally replied.
Ji Wanqing immediately clicked into the message box, and upon seeing this sentence, her lips pressed into a straight line.
Just ask him if he is Zhou Xubai?
Wouldn't it be too abrupt if the other party isn't?
Moreover, this account is indeed different from Zhou Xubai's account. Could it be that he specially registered a new account just to deceive her?
Sunny Tuantuan: [Nothing special, just thank you for your continued support, and...]
Sunny Tuantuan: [Is that you, the guest I'm seeing?]
She asked very tactfully, and then there was another period of waiting. Ji Wanqing stared blankly at the chat box.
In their few previous conversations, she always replied instantly. Was her question today really that difficult to answer?
Just as she was wondering whether to press the issue further or let it go, the other party finally replied.
Blank: [Huh? You saw me? I showed my face briefly, hopefully the picture didn't turn out badly?]
This answer is brilliant.
Ji Wanqing was speechless at the answer, but she also almost dismissed the idea that the blank space was Zhou Xubai.
Although the voices are somewhat similar, Zhou Xubai is a very straightforward man and always says what he means, so he is unlikely to be so roundabout.
But she was still somewhat unwilling to give up, so she went to search for information about the guests at the league games and found Zhou Xubai's photo.
She zoomed in on the photo, and this time, she could clearly see the identity plaque on the table.
Xinghan CEO: Zhou Xubai.
Ji Wanqing's mind was about to explode; she stared at the identity plaque for several seconds in a daze.
She couldn't resist the urge and quickly returned to the chat box to send the photo.

Sunny Tuan Tuan [She's not that ugly, don't you think?]
The other party immediately displayed "typing in progress"...
A little while later, Ji Wanqing saw a new message pop up.
[Zhou Xubai? He is indeed the CEO of my subsidiary. You've mistaken him for me?]
Ji Wanqing's anger, which had just ignited, was suddenly extinguished by those words. This... seemed to be a misunderstanding on her part?
However, does Zhou Xubai know Brother Blank?
She felt like her mind was about to stop working, carefully choosing her words.
[If you're curious about what I look like, I'll treat you to dinner next time I'm in Beijing on a business trip. I'm a bit busy this time, sorry.]
Looking at his reply, Ji Wanqing's lingering hope was finally extinguished.
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan: [No, I was just asking casually. It's getting late, Brother Blank should go home and rest early!]
Blank: [Yeah, you too, goodnight.]
Putting down his phone, Zhou Xubai let out a long sigh of relief, managing to barely get through it.
Once he uses a blank identity to gain some favor, he will definitely take the initiative to tell her.
Before the broadcast even started the next day, Ji Wanqing received a message from Xingguang, who had taken a picture of the figurine.
[Wow, I really love this hero! Thank you!!!]
Ji Wanqing's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan: [I'm glad you like it; I was a little worried you wouldn't.]
Sparkling Stars [How could that be? My sister gave me these, I'll definitely love them all! Let me think of something to give you in return.]
SunnyTuantuan: [No need. You've given me so many gifts in the live stream. I'll buy whatever I need myself. There's no need for you to spend any more money.]
[That's different. It's settled! Wait until I'm on vacation and back in Beijing!]
Sunny Tuantuan: [Okay then, let me rub your head.]
Sparkling with starlight [Smiling puppy with tongue sticking out.jpg]
Sparkling with starlight! [So cute! Big sister, give me more kisses!]
Ji Wanqing really felt that Xingguang was very lively and always unconsciously infected her emotions.
After chatting casually for a few minutes, Ji Wanqing opened the Boiling Point Dynamic Square and saw the post made by Xingguang.
Sparkling with starlight [This is the front of the figurine that Sister Sunny gave me.]
Sparkling with starlight [This is the left side of the figurine that Sister Sunny gave me.]
Sparkling with starlight [This is the right side of the figurine that Sister Sunny gave me.]
Sparkling with starlight [This is the back of the figurine that Sister Sunny gave me.]
...
He posted more than a dozen pictures in one go.
I sent the message before sending it to her, and quite a few people have already replied by now.
[Starlight, could you post more? You've made a mountain out of a motif with your photos!]
[I'm dying of laughter, look how excited our little star is!]
A simple, unassuming poor man [Photo]
A simple, unpretentious poor guy. [Naive, look how pretty the brooch Qingtian gave me is.]
The finish line. [Unfortunately, you can't smell my fragrance.]
Ji Wanqing was almost dying of laughter at Xingguang's performance and gave him a thumbs up.
The live stream started on time in the evening, and many fans waited until the last minute to enter the live stream room.
[Blank Spaceship x1 as a Gift] (9999 Boiling Point Coins)
[I received the package today, thank you, I really like it.]
Wow, what did Blank receive? Share it with us!
Yes, I'm so curious!
Blank space [A fountain pen, very tasteful on a sunny day.]
[A fountain pen for a CEO, that's really a perfect match! Qingtian really knows how to pick a gift!]
[Qingye gives away 1 Guardian Card] (1 Boiling Point Coin)
Kiyono: [Looks like I'm not too late, but the game hasn't started yet?]
"Welcome, Brother Blank and Brother Qingye, and welcome, everyone, to the live stream."
Ji Wanqing greeted everyone with a smile, then suddenly remembered that Qingye's package should have arrived today, so she casually asked, "Brother Qingye, did you receive your package?"
[Yeah, did you receive your gift, Zaishen? You're the only one missing from all the others' gifts, hurry up and share it with us!]
What did Qingtian give you as a gift?
Ji Wanqing, who had just started the show, was very casual. When she saw that Qingye didn't say anything, she answered for him.
"It's nothing, just a waist massager."
[Pfft... Sunny, are you looking down on our god's waist?]
[Hahahaha! No wonder they say Qingtian is good at picking gifts! Is she worried about her son's back not working properly?]
Anaizyz [That's true, Zishen is already 24 this year, he'll be old in two more years. Men over 25 are 65, it's time to take care of his back.]
