Chapter 596: Confusion (3)
These two are like a joke.
Many people were watching for fun.
As the protagonist and the center of discussion, Qiao Xi is no exception.
When she saw Gan Youmeng putting her hands on her hips and turning her head away, this flirting-like behavior almost made her laugh out loud.
What a fun person.
They are just here to entertain people. The characters in the collapsed script are really interesting.
Thinking so.
Qiao Xi, holding a glass of champagne, chatted with other guests at ease while glancing towards Nan Xiangzhu out of the corner of her eye.
The man is tall and slender.
Wearing standard black-framed glasses, he hid a pair of calm eyes that were full of intelligence and rationality.
only.
At this moment, he seemed to have a headache, his expression was full of helplessness, and he probably had no idea what to do with Gan Youmeng.
Nan Xiangzhu looked at it.
He is a typical young scientific research leader with the setting of being elegant and cold. Such a character is usually lukewarm in the early stage, but very gentle in the later stage when he cares about someone.
just……
Nan Xiangzhu suddenly grabbed her wrist, revealing a shocked and bewildered expression.
It was like discovering something unbelievable.
What happened? Surprised? Why?
Speaking of which.
The Little White Cat System had also warned her beforehand to be wary of this person. Perhaps Nan Xiangzhu was connected to something?
Qiao Xi thought so.
She also casually shook her champagne and took a sip, but the people who were originally surrounding her were talking and laughing.
At some point.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent in tacit understanding.
Then, the older one smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Oh, it's been over ten years since I last saw the Nan family kid. He's quite handsome and has become so successful."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. That's really flattering."
The calm voice, neither humble nor arrogant, came almost from a position slightly behind Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi could vaguely feel it.
While the other person was speaking, the warm breath accidentally fell on her earlobe, and her hand holding the champagne paused.
It was as if he had just noticed Nan Xiangzhu coming over.
Qiao Xi then turned around and smiled at the other person: "Mr. Nan is here too. Is there any dish here that doesn't suit your taste?"
She looked so calm and composed.
As if he didn't take what just happened to heart at all, Nan Xiangzhu realized later that his reaction to Qiao Xi's appearance was too strong.
Now the other party not only didn't bother with him.
Instead, he was given a way out.
But... that matter was very important to Nan Xiangzhu, so, even though he was not good at speaking, he didn't care that other people were still present.
He looked at the girl in front of him.
He stared into the other person's eyes seriously, his expression calm and his tone firm: "I have something I want to ask you, is it convenient for us to talk?"
Nan Xiangzhu had never been to such a party.
After all, he was still a little unsophisticated and not very smooth. Plus, he was young, so even if he didn't realize it, he had a bit of arrogance.
So I asked this question to his face.
It's somewhat disrespectful to the people present.
Except for Qiao Xi, everyone else's expressions were a little subtle. However, Nan Xiangzhu didn't care. He just wanted to confirm one thing with Qiao Xi.
The girl looked helpless.
She first turned around and bowed slightly to apologize to the person she was talking to, then looked up at Nan Xiangzhu helplessly.
"Then let's go and talk somewhere else."
She led the way in front, and Nan Xiangzhu followed her without saying a word.
The two of them walked around the noisy hall and came to the stage behind the curtain. It was quiet here, and no one would come here on purpose, so it was a good place to talk.
On the other side, Gan Youmeng, who had said he was going to look for Yan Liang and had walked not far away, also slowly stopped.
She stood there, looking hesitant.
He just left like that. What if Brother Xiangzhu got along with the heroine here and was attracted to her?
What should I do?
Although the current heroine seems normal, once the plot comes where the scumbag supporting characters come looking for trouble, the male protagonists will basically be attracted by her cool and slapping actions and become interested.
Then, you’ll want to learn more.
That's how the intersections increased.
If she sulked and left alone because Nan Xiangzhu didn't come to comfort her, because Nan Xiangzhu had previously pulled Qiao Xi, wouldn't that be like... giving Nan Xiangzhu to the heroine!
Gan Youmeng thought this through and suddenly woke up.
She lowered her head and bit her lip.
Yes, what is she doing? How can she just give Brother Xiangzhu to someone else like this? And that person is the heroine!
Thinking of this, she quickly turned around and hurriedly looked for Nan Xiangzhu in the hall.
***
Behind the curtain.
The two of them stopped, and Qiao Xi asked directly.
"Mr. Nan, is there something wrong?"
Nan Xiangzhu looked at her, his expression seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he still said this.
“I had a senior whom I looked up to very much, and he gave me goals and direction.”
He was observing Qiao Xi's reaction.
Unfortunately, the girl just looked at him quietly, probably waiting for him to continue.
Nan Xiangzhu paused slightly when he saw this, and then added.
"He had a lover who mysteriously disappeared, and all that's left is a photo. I once saw a senior take out that photo, and you... look exactly like his missing lover in the photo."
only.
In Nan Xiangzhu's impression, the girl in the photo he saw who looked exactly like Qiao Xi was still relatively young.
By now, the facial features have fully grown.
Although she became more exquisite and beautiful, Nan Xiangzhu could not say for sure that Qiao Xi was the person in the photo.
The girl in front of him heard what he said.
Her eyes widened slightly, as if in surprise. Her slender white fingertips lightly covered her lips, which were smeared with a soft, translucent peach-colored lipstick, making her beautiful lips look even fuller and more attractive.
And Nan Xiangzhu finally saw an expression other than a smile on her face.
But Qiao Xi's expression was a little distressed.
"Although I am surprised by such a coincidence, I'm sorry, but I may not know your senior."
Nan Xiangzhu continued, "His name is An Xun."
Just seconds after the words fell, Qiao Xi quickly realized that the person in front of her was related to An Xun. This person was the one Qiao Xi had met in the first world, the one who was researching the X virus and causing the zombie apocalypse.
The so-called connection.
It turns out it’s on this floor.
At this time, Qiao Xi also figured out what the Little White Cat System said, while Nan Xiangzhu continued to talk to himself.
"I met my senior abroad. He told me there was someone very important to him back home. There was a photo of you there, but he said he went back to look for you and there was no news of you."
Here.
Nan Xiangzhu has automatically identified Qiao Xi as the girl in the photo.
Qiao Xi waited patiently for him to finish.
After the man fell silent, she spoke again, "Mr. Nan, although I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but... this will cause me trouble. I don't have a boyfriend, and I've never been in a formal relationship with anyone of the opposite sex."
With just one sentence, Qiao Xi completely dampened Nan Xiangzhu's enthusiasm.
The man was slightly stunned.
Yes, the Qiao Xi in front of him should be called Xi Xi. She was different. Whether it was her family background or her origin, she didn't match the one the senior had mentioned before.
But……
Could such a coincidence really happen? Two people happened to look exactly the same and were about the same age.
Neither blood-related twins nor anything else.
He remembered what An Xuechang had said about his lover who had mysteriously disappeared in China, with no trace of her family. All that remained was this photo, taken long ago.
Senior An also said at that time that if he could still see Qiao Xi now, she might be in college.
Nan Xiangzhu wrote down these words.
Just because Senior An has done him a favor, if the technical support can keep up, and the theory can be turned into reality and that kind of thing can be developed and put into use, then bringing a person back to life may not be a problem.
This will be the greatest advancement in human history.
However, the senior student later left, and Nan Xiangzhu also lost contact with him. He had tried to contact him before, but to no avail.
Until now I saw Qiao Xi.
Suddenly, he recalled the incident with that senior student. Adding to this, Qiao Xi's previous experience, and Yinan Xiangzhu's own understanding of the Gu family.
He knows.
The traditions of the ancient family were to send promising children out for training and then bring them back.
so.
It is entirely possible that Qiao Xi met that senior when she was a teenager and dated him.
Then, after completing the training in the Gu family, he returned to his family without telling the senior anything.
so.
It would become that Qiao Xi mysteriously disappeared, and that senior student couldn't find her no matter what. That's only natural, right? The Gu family certainly has the ability to hide someone.
Then give her a completely changed identity.
Now that he had come up to her, Qiao Xi's seemingly confused and innocent look made the man feel a little disdainful in his heart. He looked down on such women.
He did it but didn't dare admit it, playing with someone's sincere feelings and abandoning them just like that.
Therefore, Qiao Xi said that she did not know An Xun.
Nan Xiangzhu didn't believe it.
He just looked at Qiao Xi silently, without any intention of answering.
He was waiting for Qiao Xi to admit it herself.
However, perhaps because she hadn't waited long for his reply, the girl's patience seemed to be running out. Qiao Xi perfunctorily walked around him and was about to leave: "I'm sorry, Mr. Nan."
She lifted her legs and walked away, clearly not wanting to waste any more time with Nan Xiangzhu.
The man's eyes were slightly cold, and a hint of subtle disgust flashed across them. This scheming woman was still acting in front of him, pretending not to know him?
That senior is such an outstanding person.
It's really ironic to meet such a liar from an ancient family.
"Dare to do it but not admit it? Qiao Xi."
The man's cold voice, laced with a subtle hint of sarcasm, fell from Nan Xiangzhu's beautiful lips. His expression was tinged with a hint of sarcasm, and even his already cool and slightly raised eyebrows were filled with a hint of disgust.
Qiao Xi stopped involuntarily.
At this time, she turned around and looked at him. However, the expression on the girl's face had completely disappeared, no longer the gentle smile she had before.
There was only peace left in her silent face.
But this expression is more like the brief calm before the storm.
A suffocating silence hung between the two of them, each moment seeming incredibly long and torturous. In this stalemate, Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and looked at him, her expression incredibly calm.
She said.
"What do you mean, Mr. Nan? Or are you deliberately causing trouble? Do you need me to call security and have you removed?"
There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in the girl's calm tone.
The originally friendly conversation between the two turned into a complete confrontation the moment she opened her mouth.
However.
Her attitude only made Nan Xiangzhu more resolute in his thoughts. If her secrets hadn't been exposed, and she hadn't been so angry and embarrassed, would she have refused to admit it?
The man took a step forward.
The distance between them shortened in an instant. Nan Xiangzhu, who was already taller than Qiao Xi, lowered his eyes and looked down at her condescendingly. The cold eyes hidden behind the lenses became unusually sharp.
It seems to have the magic power to penetrate people's hearts.
"The probability of coincidences happening in the world is very small, and it happens to be within this range. And I knew before I came here that you studied abroad, right? You've only been back in China for a year."
The man narrated calmly and calmly.
He knew that Qiao Xi had been kidnapped by foreign evil forces this year, and that she had returned to China this year. So many coincidences happened to one person, and yet she had inexplicably provoked foreign evil forces.
if--
If there wasn't something wrong with this person, who would provoke her for no reason? Why haven't I seen other heirs of ancient families experience these things?
Nan Xiangzhu was also abroad before.
The senior went to the same university as him, but he lost contact with him after graduation. But knowing that the senior was looking for his missing lover, Nan Xiangzhu also helped to keep an eye on him privately.
Now the person has been found.
The other party refused to admit it, and he just felt that Qiao Xi was hypocritical and ridiculous.
"I told you I don't have a boyfriend. Are you crazy? Believe it or not."
Perhaps annoyed by his aggressive attitude, Qiao Xi walked around him and was about to leave in annoyance.
However.
Nan Xiangzhu, who was determined, would never give up easily. When he noticed that Qiao Xi rolled her eyes and was about to leave, he grabbed Qiao Xi's wrist again and pulled her back.
Such a change was too sudden.
Perhaps it was because Nan Xiangzhu was not calm enough and did not control the strength too much, which resulted in Qiao Xi, who was pulled back suddenly, losing her balance and almost stumbled and fell into the other's arms.
Although she braked abruptly.
But...the distance between the two of them has become closer than ever before.
And the other side of the curtain.
Gan Youmeng, who was anxiously looking for Nan Xiangzhu, finally found his way here. When he saw this scene, he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
