Gotta admit, the efficiency and authenticity of large-scale events are pretty spot on. Very quickly, Bi Xia obtained the prize money of 100,000 yuan and that red sports car.
Nimbly jumping off the stage, Bi Xia raised her eyebrows and walked towards the young man standing in front of the silver sports car.
"Is the car fixed?"
"Got a haircut?"
Both of them spoke at the same time, were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. There was no awkwardness or unfamiliarity even though it was only their second meeting.
Bi Xia raised her hand to fix her hair, her red lips pouting slightly, blowing the bangs off her forehead with a confident breath, "Yeah, got it cut. Still handsome as ever."
She raised her chin slightly, "But you, the car fixed already?"
With a slight lift at the corner of his mouth, Qin Zhan remained calm but with a hint of warmth in his eyes, "Nope, got a new one."
This straightforward and nonchalant tone left Bi Xia, who was always quick-witted, momentarily speechless, a deep sense of envy and resentment towards the wealthy surfacing within her.
"Just saw your performance," Qin Zhan glanced at the red sports car parked nearby, then turned his eyes to Bi Xia, "I didn't expect the person who saved me yesterday to be such a talented kid."
"Flattery, just high IQ, that's all," Bi Xia didn't show modesty and accepted Qin Zhan's praise straightforwardly.
Although she seemed extremely narcissistic and shameless, it made Qin Zhan find her extremely cute. Her starry eyes sparkled with dazzling pride, which made Qin Zhan pause, and his affection for Bi Xia increased significantly.
[Ding~~~ Received 5 affection points from Qin Zhan.]
Before Bi Xia could react, 007 jumped out, exclaiming with excitement and surprise: [Host, where did you meet this person? He's like an affection points dispenser! Quickly, make good contact with him.]
After speaking, 007 suddenly blurted out, [No, I need to check him out, I feel like he makes me--BEEP--]
The harsh electronic sound made Bi Xia step back suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit her head-on, and her ears were filled with a roaring noise.
Qin Zhan was saying something to Bi Xia, but suddenly her face changed, becoming extremely pale, and her thin body wavered, making Qin Zhan mysteriously anxious. Moving faster than his mind, he took a big step forward and reached his long arm to support Bi Xia's waist.
"How are you?"
The moment Qin Zhan touched her, Bi Xia felt a numb sensation all over her body, as if an electric current had passed through, and she quickly recovered a lot.
The deep, cool voice brushed past her ear, gradually bringing her back to consciousness.
'Click'
Bi Xia and Qin Zhan both paused and turned their heads at the same time, only to see a little girl in the distance holding a phone, her eyes shining as she stared at her phone, clearly taking photos of the two of them.
The two exchanged a glance, saw the slight frown in each other's eyebrows, and then stood up together, walking into the shopping mall.
"Feeling better?" Qin Zhan asked as they stood on the escalator.
"I'm okay." Bi Xia shook her head, not explaining further.
She had no way to explain her sudden state earlier, not to mention that 007 had been unresponsive since just now, and the most important thing was that Bi Xia felt she and Qin Zhan had only met twice and weren't that familiar.
Qin Zhan didn't mind, feeling it was Bi Xia's personal matter and there was no need to pry into others' privacy.
"Why are you here?" Bi Xia asked.
"Just passing by."
"To deal with those guys from yesterday?" Bi Xia asked bluntly, making Qin Zhan pause.
He shook his head, his tone calm, "Dealing with them doesn't require me to step in personally."
Bi Xia noticed the people in front of her staring in surprise at both her and Qin Zhan, which made sense because anyone would have many guesses hearing their conversation.
But turning to look at Qin Zhan, unlike the formal attire of yesterday, he now wore a casual checkered shirt and black pants, a simple casual outfit that was refreshing to the eyes.
The coldness between his brows seemed to soften a bit, and his originally strikingly handsome face appeared warmer after shedding its icy demeanor.
At this moment, Qin Zhan looked more like a university student, but the coldness and elegance in his every move were distinctly different from the youthful inexperience.
Listening to his calm tone while talking about those people sounded as casual as chatting about daily life, with an inherent arrogance and pride unconsciously showing through.
The day before, the fat and thin guys had called him "Chief," which suggested Qin Zhan was in the military, but his attire contradicted that thought.
Tsk, such a contradictory and mysterious person.
While thinking, a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her, causing Bi Xia to be momentarily stunned as she realized she had zoned out.
"Sorry, I spaced out," Bi Xia frowned and looked up at Qin Zhan with a bit of apology, "What did you just say?"
"Nothing," Qin Zhan's phoenix eyes darkened slightly but quickly returned to normal, he responded and then asked, "You came in to buy something?"
Qin Zhan's question caught Bi Xia off guard. She originally came in just to avoid the people taking photos of them. Since she was already here, she couldn't leave empty-handed.
Thinking of Xia Shi, who cried miserably yesterday, Bi Xia said, "Planning to buy a dress for Mom."
Buying a dress?
Qin Zhan nodded, "Let's go." He said, taking the lead to step off the escalator at the top.
"Where are you going?" Bi Xia looked at Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan calmly put his arm around Bi Xia's shoulder, "To the restroom."
