Chapter 318: Chapter 114: Bai Xi vs. Song Chi (Part 2)
It’s okay to sleep a little longer.
Pulling out a chair, Cheng Xizhou sat down opposite Xu Xingguang.
As she drank her milk, she asked Xu Xingguang, "Teacher Xu, did you need something from her?"
Cheng Xizhou figured it out; Teacher Xu approached Bai Xi with bad intentions. Her aim was to deal with Jiang Heng, wanting to disrupt the relationship between Jiang Heng and Bai Xuan.
Luckily, Cheng Xizhou and Teacher Xu shared the same goal, both hoping Bai Xuan wouldn’t have peace, so she was willing to cooperate with Xu Xingguang.
Now that the truth has been revealed, Bai Xuan and her mother have received the punishment they deserve, and seeing that Xu Xingguang is still very interested in Bai Xi, Cheng Xizhou became vigilant.
Cheng Xizhou is straightforward, and she also held a lot of respect for Xu Xingguang.
Not wanting to unfoundedly doubt Xu Xingguang, she directly said to him, "Teacher Xu, let’s speak bluntly. Under your encouragement, Bai Xi has already exposed Bai Xuan’s true colors. Now Jiang Heng and Bai Xuan’s relationship is broken, and your goal has been achieved, but I think your attention towards Bai Xi hasn’t decreased."
Cheng Xizhou’s words were already direct enough, and she believed Xu Xingguang understood her meaning.
Xu Xingguang took a sip of the black coffee beside her, smiling mysteriously, she said, "I have a friend coming over, he should know your Bai Xi."
Before the film crew was formed, there were no special connections between Bai Xi and Xu Xingguang. When hearing about Xu Xingguang’s friend, who might be an old acquaintance of Bai Xi, Cheng Xizhou was a bit skeptical.
"Really an old acquaintance?" Cheng Xizhou’s eyes became wary, suspecting that Xu Xingguang had other plans.
Cheng Xizhou figured out Teacher Xu.
This person looks young and beautiful, appearing honest, but is actually cunning with many calculations. Even Jiang Heng could be outwitted by her, and Cheng Xizhou felt that even with Bai Xi together, their intelligence wasn’t enough to deal with Teacher Xu alone.
Cheng Xizhou naturally said, "I’ve known Bai Xi for many years, I should know all her friends. Teacher Xu, what’s the name of that friend you’re talking about? Maybe I know him too."
Xu Xingguang smiled silently, already seeing through Cheng Xizhou’s thoughts.
But Xu Xingguang wasn’t annoyed, and after leisurely finishing her entire cup of coffee, she finally answered Cheng Xizhou’s question, "This friend, you really don’t know."
Putting down the coffee cup, Xu Xingguang leaned towards Cheng Xizhou and whispered, "He also came from Rashomon."
Cheng Xizhou was peeling an egg.
Upon hearing these words, she was momentarily distracted, increasing the force in her fingers, her well-manicured nails piercing directly into the egg white.
Cheng Xizhou put down the egg, took a tissue to wipe her nails, and said with mixed feelings, "Then I really don’t know him." The time lived in Rashomon was a forbidden area in Bai Xi’s heart.
Bai Xi and Cheng Xizhou talk about everything, but she seldom mentioned her past in Rashomon to Cheng Xizhou.
So far, all Cheng Xizhou knows is the boy Bai Xi liked was an assassin trained by Rashomon.
"I heard from Bai Xi that after Rashomon’s stronghold was razed, everyone was buried underground." Cheng Xizhou pointed out suspiciously, "Is there really a survivor?"
"I’m not clear about the specifics, once your Bai Xi sees my friend, she’ll know."
Xu Xingguang tidied up the trays simply, arranged everything neatly, and then got up and went back to her room.
After finishing her meal, Cheng Xizhou carried the packed breakfast to the room where the assistant lived to wake up Bai Xi.
Bai Xi was already awake, woken up by another assistant in the same room. When Cheng Xizhou arrived, Bai Xi had just finished her makeup and was brushing her hair.
Seeing Cheng Xizhou bringing breakfast, Bai Xi felt a bit embarrassed. Clearly, she was Cheng Xizhou’s life assistant, yet she was troubling Cheng Xizhou with assistant chores.
"Does your head feel dizzy?" Cheng Xizhou ushered Bai Xi away from the vanity mirror and sat on the stool, pulling out lipstick to touch up her lip makeup.
Bai Xi sat on the sofa by the bed, taking small bites of breakfast, she shook her head in response to Cheng Xizhou, "I don’t get headaches from getting drunk, I just feel sleepier."
"That’s good." Cheng Xizhou put the lipstick cap back on, turned around, and said to Bai Xi, "Teacher Xu said she has a friend coming over today, and she said you should know each other."
Bai Xi immediately shook her head, firmly denying, "How could I know Teacher Xu’s friend?"
"But she said, he’s also a survivor from the Rashomon organization."
At these words, Bai Xi’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, "There’s another survivor?"
She thought she was the only survivor.
