Chapter 217 Standoff? · ? ?
Looking at the completely different person on his phone screen, Jiang Hai slammed his phone down on the table.
Jiang Hai's heart was now filled with a variety of emotions—he felt anger, confusion, and sadness, and the person he liked had suddenly changed his style for some reason.
Bai Xinyi—no, now it can only be described as a girl who has changed her style—has changed so much that Jiang Hai can no longer feel any affection for her.
But the lingering love remained with that person. Jiang Hai flipped through Bai Xinyi's old photos and stared at the girl in the pictures, mesmerized.
Jiang Hai's phone vibrated; it was a message from someone he had been following closely. Jiang Hai only had one person on his close watch list: Bai Xinyi.
Upon seeing Bai Xinyi's Weibo post, Jiang Hai exited Bai Xinyi's photo album to see where she was going or what she was doing—he needed to find a time when Bai Xinyi went out to ask her why her style had changed so much.
After a week of studying, Bai Xinyi went out to play.
On this trip, Bai Xinyi maintained her new style, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, and also brought Lu Changge and "Ying Meihua" with her.
The three girls went to a high-end-looking coffee shop to drink beverages and eat desserts.
This broadened the horizons of Lu Changge, who was visiting for the first time, and Lu Renkui, who was inside Ying Meihua's body. Of course, the two were more concerned about Bai Xinyi, whose face was completely invisible.
"Wow," Lu Changge looked at Bai Xinyi, whose head was completely covered, "Didn't you bring bodyguards? Why are you wearing so much clothing over your head?"
"Just to be on the safe side," Bai Xinyi said. Although her face was completely covered by sunglasses and a mask, Lu Renkui and Lu Changge could still sense her nervousness.
"It should be fine, there are three of us today." Lu Renkui, still inside Ying Meihua's body, scratched her head—today was her last day inside Ying Meihua's body, and if nothing went wrong today, she could successfully leave Ying Meihua's body.
“Yes, you’ve been sleeping and eating well these past few days, haven’t you?” Lu Changge said. “You seem to be fine.”
"Stop talking, I feel like there are two pairs of eyes watching me right now," Bai Xinyi said, craning her neck to look out the window.
Outside the window was an open-air platform where only a few people were sitting. Some were reading newspapers, some were typing on computers, and others were doing nothing but sitting there drinking their beverages.
"Ah, isn't it just the three of us here? And those bodyguards you brought." Lu Changge followed Bai Xinyi's gaze and looked over. She was quite certain that the people she saw were behaving perfectly normally.
“I really feel like someone is watching me,” Bai Xinyi said nervously as she took off her sunglasses. “Besides you and the bodyguards I brought, there are two other people watching me.”
"Are you sure the gaze is coming from that big terrace outside?" Lu Renkui asked.
Bai Xinyi nodded nervously.
Seeing that Bai Xinyi was so certain, Lu Renkui stood up, casually stuffing an empty cup into his pocket and saying, "Okay, take off your baseball cap or something first, I'll come over and take a look with you."
"Should we just walk there?" Lu Changge didn't seem to agree.
Bai Xinyi rubbed her hands nervously, saying, "What if, what if he—"
"Where are the bodyguards you brought today?" Lu Renkui shrugged. "If you're really worried, have two strong ones guard the terrace entrance. When he looks like he's about to do something to you, we'll back off, and you have your two bodyguards block him in front."
"Oh right, I brought bodyguards today." Bai Xinyi rubbed her hands together, trying to straighten her back and make herself look more imposing, at least to match her current style.
The two girls walked over, with Lu Renkui, who was inside Ying Meihua's body, leading the way, while Bai Xinyi followed behind Ying Meihua. Behind the two girls were two muscular security guards, each 1.85 meters tall, standing with double doors.
Lu Renkui walked to the entrance of the terrace and entered the largest open space on the terrace, asking Bai Xinyi to find out who was watching them.
Bai Xinyi turned her head and looked around. Finally, she saw a familiar figure. Although the person's face was covered up, it was not difficult to tell that this person was Jiang Hai based on the fact that the girl opposite him was Lan Xingtu.
"It should be that one." Bai Xinyi swallowed hard, mustered her courage, and grabbed "Ying Meihua's" hand as they walked to the table where the couple was sitting.
Lan Xingtu was still muttering something, while the boy opposite him looked like he didn't want to listen.
Jiang Hai felt very troubled. This was the third time since he had dropped out of school that Lan Xingtu had found him and harassed him, preventing him from properly observing Bai Xinyi.
Although Jiang Hai was somewhat inclined to let go of Bai Xinyi—because Bai Xinyi was no longer to his liking—he still decided to give it his all, hoping that he might be able to turn Bai Xinyi back to her original self.
Two people were standing at the table, and both Jiang Hai and Lan Xingtu subconsciously looked up at them.
Upon seeing who it was, Jiang Hai immediately lowered his head and drank the now-cold hot Americano in front of him.
When Lan Xingtu saw who the two people were, the smile on her face immediately froze. The two people in front of her were none other than the people she hated the most in the past and the people she hated the most now—"Ying Meihua" and Bai Xinyi.
"Oh ho," Lu Renkui greeted Lan Xingtu without holding a grudge, "Lan Xingtu, you're here too. Did Jiang Hai bring you in?"
"No, she and I..." Jiang Hai immediately looked up to defend himself upon hearing this, but then suddenly remembered that Bai Xinyi didn't seem to recognize him, and his actions had inadvertently exposed him.
"Hmm, that... it's quite a coincidence." Bai Xinyi touched the necklace hanging around her neck. The necklace style had been changed; today it was a six-pointed star hanging in front of her chest.
After careful consideration, Bai Xinyi decided to resolve the matter today: "I've run into you at the places I'm supposed to go for the past two weekends. Jiang Hai, is there anything you want to say?"
“It was just a coincidence,” Jiang Hai said without any pressure. “It was just a coincidence.”
“But…isn’t this a bit too coincidental?” Although Bai Xinyi had changed her style, her way of speaking and handling relationships was still the same gentle style as before.
"If he says it's a coincidence, then it's a coincidence. Why are you asking so many questions?" Lan Xingtu wasn't very happy. She felt that it was an honor for Jiang Hai to spend time on this woman, yet this woman was still being picky. If it were her, she would be overjoyed.
“Really? That’s quite a coincidence,” Lu Renkui spoke up. “Seven places in two weeks. He always manages to find the perfect spot to bump into Bai Xinyi.”
"Forget about the others, there's an entire floor of one of these shopping malls dedicated to women's clothing. What? You don't actually like shopping in women's clothing stores, do you?"
"I just went to take a look," Jiang Hai said, looking down at his ice-cold hot drink. He hadn't expected that the mall had an entire floor dedicated to women's clothing.
"Ah, I get it, you're curious, aren't you?" Lu Renkui appeared calm on the surface, but his hand had already reached into the coffee cup that was stuffed into his pocket.
