But the impression was so deep that even after so many days, I could still recognize him at a glance.

Before the waitress even reached the table, as if sensing Xu Su's gaze, the man turned his head and looked towards the door, their eyes meeting.

Xu Su suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Could it be that this person picked up her phone?

Sometimes her premonitions are so accurate that even she is surprised...

Sure enough, the waitress walked straight up to the man, and before she could say anything, he stood up, holding Xu Su's phone in his hand.

She was still using the rose gold limited edition phone that Shen Chen had given her, which, in terms of appearance, far surpassed all other brands and models on the market these days.

Xu Su herself is very comfortable using it and has no plans to replace it with a new one at the moment.

The male waiter who led Xu Su here, after informing his colleagues about the situation, went on with his work.

So, after the man walked out of the private room and closed the door behind him, only Xu Su and he remained in the empty corridor.

This was another extremely tall man, and Xu Su could feel a faint sense of oppression. She took a half step back without making a sound, and was about to speak when the other person handed her his phone and said softly, "Xu Su?"

"...?" Xu Su heard him call her name as soon as she took the phone, and she looked up in surprise.

The other person pointed to her phone: "Sorry, I saw your message by accident."

Oh…

Someone in the QQ group must have tagged her and called her by name.

Her messages are visible even when the screen is locked.

Xu Su nodded and thanked her, "Thank you so much for picking up my phone..."

Halfway through the conversation, something felt off…

She coughed lightly: "Anyway, thank you."

After repeatedly expressing her gratitude, Xu Su prepared to take her leave when she saw a hand appear in front of her…

"Hello Xu Su, my name is Si Xuan," the man extended his right hand and smiled slightly: "Xuan as in cliff."

"!!..." Xu Su was just beginning to be shocked when she heard his name, but the rest of the sentence suppressed her shock, and she gave a dry laugh: "Hello."

Her voice sounded muffled through the mask, and no one could tell whether she was smiling or not.

However, Xu Su has no intention of taking off her mask...

She adjusted her mask and formally said goodbye, "If there's nothing else, then I won't disturb your meal any longer..."

Before they could finish speaking, the man opposite them said, "I am also Si Xuan, the Si Xuan you know."

"..." Xu Su stared wide-eyed at the man in front of her.

Ex-husband?

Ah... no, no, what kind of ex-husband is he?

For some reason, Xu Su remembered that the last time they met, she wasn't wearing a mask...

"Did you recognize me last time?"

“I wasn’t quite sure last time,” Si Xuan said, looking at her with a smile, “but this time, I’m sure.”

Xu Su was speechless. He had picked up the phone and read through all the group chat messages, so of course he could confirm it.

"Can we get to know each other now?" Si Xuan waved his right hand, which had been outstretched for a while.

"..." Xu Su paused for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with him.

This way of getting to know each other is a bit too formal...

"Um," Xu Su said somewhat awkwardly, as it was her first time meeting an online friend in this situation, "I'll go back to my private room first. I've been away for too long..."

"Xu Su!"

Shen Chen's voice came from not far away, interrupting her from continuing.

As soon as Xu Su turned around, she saw Shen Chen striding towards her, his expression unusually cold, like a wife catching her husband cheating...

Xu Su felt a chill run down her spine from her own analogy, and she quickly spat out three times in her mind.

"Didn't you say you were going to the restroom? How did you end up here?" Shen Chen stopped in front of Xu Su, looking down at Si Xuan's clasped hands, a cold glint in his eyes: "What? You know each other?"

Xu Su said, "I left my phone on the sink and someone picked it up, so I came to get it."

She gave a brief explanation, withdrew her hand, and smiled at Si Xuan, saying, "Then we'll head back now. Thank you so much for today."

Si Xuan's smile remained unchanged. His gaze swept over Shen Chen and returned to Xu Su's masked face: "Take care."

"..." Xu Su remembered that Nanyang and the others said that Si Xuan himself was very cold.

The smile never seems to disappear...

Shen Chen's expression grew colder and colder. He curled a cold smile at Si Xuan, who also looked at him indifferently. Their eyes met, and they were both assessing each other's identities, but neither of them took the initiative to speak to the other.

Xu Su felt that the situation was a bit strange, so she grabbed Shen Chen's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go. The way you two see things will make me misunderstand."

Shen Chen glanced at Si Xuan one last time, letting Xu Su pull him away until they were quite a distance before turning to ask her, "What did you misunderstand?"

He clearly didn't understand Xu Su's meaning...

Xu Su certainly wouldn't say that watching the way those two men, who were evenly matched in both height and temperament, stared at each other gave her a feeling of being smitten...

oops…

She's not corrupt!

Back in the private room, neither of them had any appetite.

Shen Chen looked at her hand, which Si Xuan had held, with a sour expression. "If you're going to use your phone, just use your phone. Why are you holding hands?"

Xu Su said without any hesitation, "It's just to get to know him. He's reached out to me, so I can't very well refuse him."

"Is that so?" Shen Chen smiled indifferently, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic: "You're only letting me hold your hand because I think he's good-looking, huh? If it were a more sleazy guy, would you still let me hold his hand?"

“Shen Chen!” Xu Su exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"What?" Shen Chen asked with an innocent expression. "Was there something wrong with what I said?"

"No problem, you're right!" Xu Su gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Si Xuan is just good-looking, with an elegant and refined appearance. You can't be jealous of him!"

You can't be jealous of it...

Shen Chen understood the meaning of "severing one's heart" more and more deeply each time he faced her.

He was so angry that his face turned pale, and he remained silent for a long time.

Xu Su noticed his expression and realized she had gone too far. This man, who was usually so easygoing, was actually taking it seriously and getting angry…

“Um,” Xu Su waved her hand in front of his expressionless face and explained dryly, “I didn’t mean you are inferior to him, Shen Chen. I’m used to speaking my mind in front of you, so don’t take this seriously.”

Shen Chen remained motionless, not even blinking.

Xu Su was puzzled. Why was he so angry?

She said, "Seriously, Shen Chen, you're so sensitive! You believe everything I say? Don't you know your own limitations? Just because I say you can't be jealous, you accept that as fact? Go ahead and refute me!"

Xu Su bombarded him with a series of questions, then rushed over and shook Shen Chen's arm: "Stand up and refute me!"

Shen Chen's eyes flickered as he looked at her: "What do you mean by refutating me?"
