Chapter 1831: Chapter 757: Meeting Again

Upon hearing that name, almost engraved in the depths of her soul, Ji Xiaoxi, who had been somewhat distracted, "shua" looked up.

But then she found her reaction a bit amusing; Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang, it’s just a very common name. It’s not something you encounter everywhere, but there are always many people with the same name, let alone...

This is Qin Island; that man has absolutely no reason to appear here.

Especially while riding a small electric scooter—

Ji Xiaoxi knew the extent of Zhou Wang’s wealth, far beyond the imagination of most ordinary people. How could a small electric scooter be in any way associated with him?

But at the moment Ji Xiaoxi looked up, it was as if a massive current surged through her, paralyzing her entire body, rendering her immobile.

Under the noon sun, amidst the play of shadow and light, a young man dressed in a plain white printed T-shirt and dark wide-legged jeans rode leisurely in their direction on a pink electric scooter.

Maybe because he hadn’t washed his hair, the young man wore an MLB baseball cap, though some messy hair strands stuck out at the edges.

It should have seemed slightly unkempt, but because of the young man’s exceptionally handsome face, it only added a sense of languid ease to his demeanor; at a glance, he was still the coolest guy in the street alleys.

"It’s really him... how could it be him..."

At that moment, Ji Xiaoxi stood still, everything around her blurring, leaving only the image of that handsome young man in her eyes.

Her dazed manner did not draw Xu Wanting’s attention because Xu Wanting’s sparkling eyes were also fixed firmly on Zhou Wang.

Yang Hao, this guy, is so handsome... Just like an idol boy band member.

Xu Wanting always thought that since graduation, having recognized the realities of life, she had outgrown the childish infatuation stage. Now she realized... it’s just that the men she encountered thus far weren’t handsome enough.

But Xu Wanting quickly snapped out of that state, habitually starting to scrutinize Zhou Wang’s attire.

Hmm, can’t tell the brand of the T-shirt and jeans; they must be some unknown knockoffs, but the cut is decent, and those are Nike shoes—only why is the swoosh upside down...

Xu Wanting almost couldn’t hold back a "pfft" of laughter.

No way, it’s the first time she’s seen such a bad "high imitation."

Maybe the only genuine thing on him is that hat, but Xu Wanting remembers that the brand’s baseball caps cost only a few hundred bucks.

"Brother Dog, over here, over here!"

As Xu Wanting observed Zhou Wang, Yang Hao had already waved and shouted excitedly.

Riding the small electric scooter, Zhou Wang looked over nonchalantly, but then froze slightly, even forgetting to adjust the direction, and if not for Yang Hao’s timely reminder, Zhou Wang probably would have crashed into the green belt.

Xu Wanting subconsciously straightened her hair because she stood right in front of Ji Xiaoxi, roughly in a direct line of sight, and if she wasn’t mistaken, Zhou Wang’s gaze had just fallen straight on her...

So, Zhou Wang was distracted because he saw her?

Xu Wanting involuntarily puffed up her chest, promptly adjusting her expression to appear more dignified.

And as Zhou Wang reached them, he brake abruptly, parking the small electric scooter at the roadside, and in that short span, Zhou Wang had already calmed down his mind, walking nonchalantly towards Yang Hao.

"Who are these two..."

"Brother Dog, this is Wanting I’ve mentioned to you, uh, her last name is Xu..."

As Yang Hao introduced them, he cautiously observed Zhou Wang’s expression and, seeing that Zhou Wang barely showed any sign of surprise, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pointed at Ji Xiaoxi behind Xu Wanting.

"This is Ji Xiaoxi, Xu Wanting’s childhood friend and confidante. Well, actually, we’ve all met each other at the bar... This is Zhou Wang, my best buddy, uh, the peer I admire the most."

Yang Hao cleared his throat lightly and introduced Zhou Wang to the two girls.

Xu Wanting felt puzzled because, aside from his looks, she couldn’t see what else about Zhou Wang warranted Yang Hao’s admiration.

Moreover, Xu Wanting had heard Yang Hao talk about it before; they jointly opened this pet funeral home, and Yang Hao also invested a lot of money, even buying a Toyota Alphard as a company car out of his own pocket...

Men always like to brag a little in front of women, but since Yang Hao indeed had a bit of family wealth as a second-generation rich, Xu Wanting naturally believed it one hundred percent.

This led to Xu Wanting’s subconscious belief that Yang Hao is the one in charge of this store, and he is more like the "big brother" in their relationship.

"Oh, hello, hello, are you here today for..."

Zhou Wang casually greeted Xu Wanting and quickly turned his attention to Ji Xiaoxi.

And when Zhou Wang looked over, the expressionless Ji Xiaoxi had already diverted her gaze in advance, but Zhou Wang could clearly see her seemingly translucent fingertips under the sunlight were unconsciously twisting together, indicating that her inner turmoil was far from the calm facade she presented...

Hallucination, just a hallucination. But if it’s a hallucination, why hasn’t this man disappeared yet, and why can she still hear his voice, still carrying that unique, infuriating yet captivating calm tone, so mismatched with his age.
