CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 29: BIRTHDAY PARTY (PART 5)

The next day, the wind was fresh, and the sun was still bright.

Zhou Huaiyi slept on the bed of the male god without any restraint for the night, and when she woke up the next day, she was full of energy and radiant.

She messed around with the male god’s quilt and pillow, burrowing her head into the covers a few times, then suddenly got up and walked a few steps to the mirror.

It was still the male god’s face, the male god’s body, the male god’s home.

Which means...

After a night, they still hadn’t swapped back.

This unexpected happy feeling, what’s the deal with that!

Conversely—

When Xiang Qichen felt the heaviness in front of him, he was too lazy to even get up to look at the mirror, scratched his long hair that had become tousled from sleep, sighed, and then lay back on the pillow.

Another day of worries and helplessness...

——

That night, there were two hours left until Xiang Qichen’s birthday party.

Xiang Qichen, watching Kang Xuan bargaining with scalpers, took out his phone.

[Xiang: Sister Yan, did you get the two birthday party tickets I asked you to prepare?]

[Sister Yan: I did, what do you want to do with them?]

[Xiang: Give them to the two friends from yesterday.]

Yan Qing was a bit surprised on the other end, as these were VIP seats in the front row.

[Sister Yan: Are they here?]

[Xiang: At the entrance, trying to buy scalper tickets...]

[Sister Yan: ...You go do your makeup first, I’ll go pick them up.]

[Xiang: Could you please take care of them for me?]

After ending the conversation, Xiang Qichen also dialed Zhou Huaiyi to explain everything clearly and then dragged Kang Xuan to another entrance of the stadium.

Kang Xuan watched dumbfounded as the tickets she had painstakingly bargained down from 1500 to 700 yuan drifted away, exclaiming, "Zhou Huaiyi! The tickets I just..."

Xiang Qichen leisurely interrupted, "Xiang Qichen gave me two tickets."

Kang Xuan bent over and smiled, "Brother, after you, please."

Xiang Qichen: "..."

,

In the dressing room.

After ending the call with Xiang Qichen, Zhou Huaiyi put the phone aside and continued to face the mirror to let the makeup artist do her makeup.

Yang Li placed a bottle of water in front of her, caught a glimpse of the phone lying face down on the table, and paused before jokingly asking, "Qi Chen, did you get a new phone case?" He leaned in for a closer look, "Or is it your own merchandise? Didn’t you always think it was uncomfortable to hold?"

Zhou Huaiyi quickly grabbed the phone, trying to cover it up, casually smiling, "Um, it looked nice, so I bought it, haha..."

Yang Li nodded in agreement, "It is indeed quite cute, haha."

...

Half an hour later, Yan Qing brought Kang Xuan and Xiang Qichen to the VIP seats at the birthday venue ahead of time.

Kang Xuan looked around the currently empty arena, her heart racing with excitement, but she still dutifully followed Zhou Huaiyi.

Old Kang noticed her calm demeanor and found it strange...

It seemed as if in the past couple of days, Zhou Huaiyi had become really composed, like she’s seen it all, steady as a mountain...

Yan Qing led them to seats in the center of the first row below the stage, smiled and said, "Qi Chen is busy with makeup, you can just sit here..."

Xiang Qichen: "Thanks, Sister Yan."

Yan Qing paused, suddenly finding the girl in front of her very familiar. During the rehearsal yesterday, she only saw a silhouette from afar, but now seeing her up close...

After a moment, Yan Qing asked again, "Aren’t you the girl from the set last time? The one with the American coffee..."

Xiang Qichen cast down his eyes and cleared his throat, "Yes."

Yan Qing had a moment of realization, "Last time looking at your cup, I thought your last name was also Xiang, turns out your surname is Zhou..." Her voice trailed off as she paused, probing, "Are you and your friend both fans of Xiang Qichen?"

Kang Xuan nodded with her lips pursed and quickly said, "Yes!"

Xiang Qichen nodded in response.

Yan Qing: "All right then, you wait here, I’ll go check on Qi Chen in the dressing room."

Kang Xuan: "Goodbye, Sister Yan."

Watching Yan Qing walk away, Kang Xuan suddenly turned her head to Xiang Qichen, "Old Zhou! Do you think there’s a chance she and Qi Chen..."

Xiang Qichen: "That’s never going to happen."

Kang Xuan: "...I wasn’t even finished asking."

Xiang Qichen: "I could already foresee it."

Kang Xuan: "...For some reason, I feel like my IQ has dropped these past two days being with you, when it’s always been you who were more clueless than me."

Xiang Qichen: "......"

He probably understood why these two could remain such dear friends for life.
