To receive a signed published book from the Immortal, Xu Xingguang was naturally happy. "Great, then next ti you go to West Continent, give it to ."
"Okay."
Cheng Xizhou didn’t expect Xu Xingguang to be so chatty and friendly in private, completely different from the rumored ruthless avenging female demon, and couldn’t help but chat a bit more.
As they were talking, a woman with a ponytail turned around into the restroom.
She walked straight toward Cheng Xizhou, picked up the bag she left on the sink, and said in a gentle but firm voice, "Sister Zhou, we should head to the live stream room now, or we’ll be late."
The ponytail woman revealed an old scar on her left wrist when she reached for the bag.
Xu Xingguang stared at the scar for a mont and suddenly asked Cheng Xizhou, "Is this your friend?"
The ponytail woman stopped and looked up at Xu Xingguang.
She gave Xu Xingguang a bright smile and introduced herself, "Hello, I’m Cheng Xizhou’s assistant."
Cheng Xizhou linked arms with the ponytail woman and said to Xu Xingguang, "She’s my personal assistant and also my good friend. Her na is Bai Xi."
Cheng Xizhou then turned to her assistant and said, "Bai Xi, this is Xu Xingguang, the original author of ’Guest on the Island,’ Mr. Xu, who is also the screenwriter of this film."
Bai Xi’s eyes lit up with surprise as she looked at Xu Xingguang, and she quickly greeted her, "Hello, Teacher Xu, we’ll be relying on you to take care of Ah Zhou."
Xu Xingguang replied, "Hello, I wouldn’t say taking care, but I hope we can achieve success together."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi realized that Xu Xingguang was a humble and polite woman. "Our Ah Zhou definitely won’t disappoint Teacher Xu."
"Teacher Xu, we’re in a hurry, so we’ll head off now."
"Okay, drive carefully on the way."
Bai Xi, carrying Cheng Xizhou’s bag, anxiously led her out of the restroom.
After they left, Xu Xingguang finally looked up at the mirror at her own deep eyes. She gently curled her lips, and the detailed information about the female lead Cheng Xizhou surfaced in her mind again.
Cheng Xizhou—
From West Continent City, 29 years old, beca famous for a travel video in high school, voted as the ’Smiling Goddess’ by netizens.
Entered the entertainnt industry officially in her junior year of college.
Lover: None.
Best friend: Bai Xi.
Bai Xi and Cheng Xizhou t in senior year of high school and have been longti friends.
Bai Xi’s elder sister, nad Bai Xuan, is now the Young Madam of the Jiang Family, the wealthiest in West Continent City.
Xu Xingguang bent down to wash her hands.
Cold water ran over her slender, scallion-like fingers, she applied hand soap, rubbed slowly, and suddenly muttered softly, "Bai Xi, Bai Xuan. Truly, sisters with different fates."
Bai Xi had a scar on her wrist, and the Young Madam of the Jiang Family had the exact sa scar on her wrist as well.
With her naturally keen intuition, Xu Xingguang realized there was more to this story.
Once a wound heals, it leaves behind an ugly scar. Those sealed pasts beco distant and blurry, but never truly forgotten.
You just need soone to gently open the box of mories, and the truth will eventually be revealed.
Xu Xingguang flicked her ten fingers covered in water, thought to herself: I love opening mystery boxes the most.
.
Xu Xingguang’s car was parked in a nearby underground parking lot, and on the way back, she drove her car ahead, with Huo Lan following behind her.
After escorting Xu Xingguang back to the small courtyard in Cangshan Town, Huo Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The courtyard of Xu Xingguang’s house was not yet settled for parking, so she parked her car directly in the courtyard of Huo Wen’an’s house.
Seeing that Xu Xingguang even had the key to Huo Wen’an’s house, Huo Lan was even more convinced of her status as the Lady Captain.
After locking the courtyard door, Xu Xingguang walked over to Huo Lan.
Huo Lan rolled down the car window, and Xu Xingguang leaned over and said to him, "Thank you for tonight, Mr. Huo. It’s getting late, drive carefully when you head ho."
Huo Lan smiled and responded, "Alright."
Huo Lan glanced at the courtyard of Huo Wen’an’s house and said with a smile, "Is this the ho of the Pilot?"
Xu Xingguang humd in agreent.
"So, you two are neighbors."
The sumr in Yujiang City was unbearably hot, but the sumr night in Cangshan Town seed to have a refreshing touch.
Huo Lan took in the refreshing air and remarked, "Cangshan Town is indeed a nice place, very suitable for recuperation and settling down. No wonder the Pilot ca here to live."
Few people in the Huo Family knew about Huo Wen’an’s past, so Huo Lan really thought Huo Wen’an ca to Cangshan Town to recuperate.
"Cangshan Town is indeed a great place, Mr. Huo, you’re welco to visit anyti."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huo Lan finally started the car and drove back to the city.
