Chapter 230: A Bit of an Eye
Fu Xiuyan's joking expression instantly faded, and his whole body turned cold.
"You noticed that, right?" Man Qing said. "Their press conference was incredibly grand, and Zhou Xiangchen's fan base is also incredibly large. You know, most idol fans are teenage girls with lots of energy. So it's almost universally known. Well, of course, that doesn't include you two, who are so close to each other."
"What's his name?"
"Shen Qinghuan."
Fu Xiuyan narrowed his eyes and immediately sent these three words to Xu Che.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
"Really? They look a bit similar. I suspected at the time that he was Shen Qingxi's brother, but he said he was an only child, and as far as I know, Shen Qingxi also has no brothers or sisters."
"Maybe they are not brothers at all." Fu Xiuyan whispered, rubbing his fingertips slowly.
Man Qing said, "Hmm. Maybe I'm overthinking it. He only resembles Shen Qingxi in his facial features and figure, but his demeanor and other aspects are completely unrelated, making it hard to draw a parallel between the two. He's a quiet man, but he's obviously sunny and positive, and you can tell he came from a good family. He's completely different from Shen Qingxi's gloomy demeanor. So, since he's appeared in the media, no one has ever drawn a parallel between him and Shen Qingxi."
"It's just that these eyes are a bit of an eyesore."
"I was dazed when I saw him for the first time. He looks a lot like little Ayang, right? His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Ayang, and the feeling he gives people is a bit like little Ayang." This is also the reason why Man Qing asked Fu Xiuyan about Xia Yang as the first thing she asked when she saw him.
Fu Xiuyan didn't say anything. Manqing glanced in Shen Qinghuan's direction without showing any emotion, and then said, "But I always feel that something is strange. It makes people uncomfortable. So I gave up the idea of getting to know Zhou Qingchen."
"Not like it." Fu Xiuyan said slowly.
"what?"
"This person has nothing in common with Xia Xia." Fu Xiuyan said, and waved to Xiao Wang who was standing outside. Xiao Wang came over with his back bent.
"Tell Luohan to keep a close eye on Zhou Xiangchen and Shen Qinghuan's movements within the industry. Tell Xu Che that if they can't uncover any issues with their identities, to focus on the plastic surgery agency." Xu Che's pursuit of Shen Qingxi has never ceased. Since Xu Che hasn't mentioned this to him yet, it means Shen Qinghuan's identity is incredibly well-prepared, far more elaborate than even Xu Che could uncover. This means they'll have to look elsewhere.
Sister Manqing was right. This person's temperament was nothing like Shen Qingxi's. In fact, it was the complete opposite. There was not a trace of Shen Qingxi in sight. But the more this happened, the more suspicious he became. Shen Qingxi was an actor, and a decent one at that. Playing another person was easy for him.
As soon as Xiao Wang left, Fu Xiuyan was invited to the stage. After a brief exchange of words about design concepts with the brand's global design director, Fu Xiuyan left and walked out of the venue. Man Qing also left quickly.
The three of them soon met at the restaurant booked by Manqing.
Man Qing had booked a private room, and when she arrived, Fu Xiuyan and Xia Yang were already there. Pushing the door open, she saw Xia Yang sleeping on Fu Xiuyan's lap, with Fu Xiuyan's hand gently patting his back.
Manqing breathed softly, walked in quietly, and slowly closed the door: "Are you asleep?"
Fu Xiuyan nodded, his hands moving non-stop.
"Then let's..."
Before Manqing could finish her words, Xia Yang sat up with a jerk. His eyes were still blurry. After a moment's pause, he saw Manqing smiling at him from the opposite side. His face flushed immediately: "Sorry, Sister Manqing, I accidentally fell asleep." How rude! He had never felt so embarrassed since he was a child.
"Just sleep if you're tired. What's there to be sorry about?" Sister Manqing smiled gently. "I didn't even tell you that I forced you to come here for a midnight snack, so don't be sorry. We don't need to be so distant."
Xia Yang responded generously: "Okay. Sister Manqing, let's eat. I'm hungry."
Seeing that he was not being reserved with her, Man Qing was even happier: "I've asked them to serve the food. They'll be here soon."
The waiter quickly arrived, and while Xia Yang was serving the food, he glared at Fu Xiuyan. He'd been watching the livestream for too long, and his eyes were dry. So he told Fu Xiuyan to close his eyes and rest for a while, waiting for Sister Manqing to come and wake him up. He hadn't expected to fall asleep, and this person wouldn't even call him. Fortunately, he'd been thinking about it and hadn't fallen asleep, so he woke up at the slightest movement.
Fu Xiuyan was glared at by him, but he laughed even more.
The three of them were very happy during the meal. They were all very knowledgeable and could discuss any topic with each other.
After the meal, Manqing still felt unsatisfied. However, it was too late, and her husband had urged her countless times. She made an appointment with Xia Yang to get together again next time, and then the three of them got up and left.
Before leaving, Xia Yang went to the bathroom. Man Qing couldn't resist the urging of her clingy husband at home, so she said goodbye and left first. Fu Xiuyan waited for Xia Yang to come out at the corner.
"Mr. Fu?"
Fu Xiuyan looked up and saw a familiar-looking person standing two meters away.
"It's really you. Hello, I'm Zhou Xiangchen." Zhou Xiangchen took two steps forward, stopped at a distance that wouldn't offend anyone, and reached out to shake hands with Fu Xiuyan.
Fu Xiuyan didn't understand why this person would take the initiative to greet him. He just shook hands perfunctorily, with no intention of continuing the conversation.
Zhou Xiangchen was obviously somewhat amused, not noticing Fu Xiuyan's expression. "I wanted to say hello to you at the conference hall just now, but I didn't find the right opportunity. I didn't expect to meet you here..." Although Fu Xiuyan still looked polite and listened to him attentively, Zhou Xiangchen noticed the impatience in his eyes and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I was rash. I won't bother you anymore."
As he said that, he took a step aside.
"It's okay. Zhou Xiangchen, right?" Fu Xiuyan wanted to take this opportunity to find out something about Shen Qinghuan.
Zhou Xiangchen didn't show any excessive joy like Fu Xiuyan's words. He smiled just the right amount, neither humble nor overbearing. "Yes, Mr. Fu, I didn't expect you'd heard of me?"
"Not really. You just said it yourself." Fu Xiuyan said expressionlessly.
Zhou Xiangchen's expression cracked for a moment...
