Chapter 290: Chapter 108: She Has Someone She Likes (4)

Bai Xi said, "Mr. Fang wants Teacher Xu’s help, and Teacher Xu has agreed."

Cheng Xizhou nodded, "I see."

"Huh?" Cheng Xizhou suddenly leaned closer to Bai Xi’s face, staring into her eyes, "We’re sitting together, and I can’t hear what they’re saying, how did you?"

Bai Xi explained, "I read their lips."

"You know lip reading?" Cheng Xizhou was a bit puzzled, Bai Xi really is a treasure, always surprising her in unexpected ways.

However, when Cheng Xizhou remembered that Bai Xi was raised by a crime organization, it wasn’t surprising she had such skills, so she wasn’t startled anymore. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"By the way, when your sister and your mom suddenly saw you appear yesterday, weren’t they scared to death?" Cheng Xizhou finished filming at 3 AM yesterday and got up at 7 AM.

After arriving on the island, she started filming again and hadn’t had the chance to chat with Bai Xi in detail about this.

Recalling the scene from yesterday, Bai Xi curled her lips slightly, and said in a good mood, "Probably, when Ms. Jie recognized me, her expression was like she’d seen a ghost."

"Hahaha." Cheng Xizhou burst into laughter.

After laughing, she furrowed her eyebrows worriedly and asked, "They didn’t make it difficult for you, did they?"

"They yelled at me, but I yelled back."

Cheng Xizhou was surprised, "You’ve always been a softie, back then they bullied you so much, and over the years you never retaliated. How did you suddenly know to talk back this time?"

Bai Xi recounted the incident when she met Xu Xingguang yesterday, "Teacher Xu said, a nemesis should act like a nemesis. If anyone thinks I’m their nemesis, then I’ll just defeat them. I thought about it and felt that Teacher Xu made a lot of sense."

Bai Xi told Cheng Xizhou, "You should’ve seen it, after I yelled at Ms. Jie yesterday, her expression was hilarious."

Cheng Xizhou could imagine that scene. She felt a sense of relief and exclaimed, "Our Xixi finally stood up for herself. By the way, did you meet Jiang Heng?"

Cheng Xizhou is from West Continent City and comes from a decent family, but she could count the times she’s met Jiang Heng on one hand. She knows Jiang Heng, but he probably doesn’t even know her name.

Cheng Xizhou was curious about Jiang Heng’s reaction and asked Bai Xi, "After Jiang Heng found out about your identity, how did he treat you?"

"Him?" Bai Xi’s face was frosty, "How he feels has nothing to do with me."

"Well said!" Cheng Xizhou patted Bai Xi’s shoulder appreciatively, and said, "Let him and your phony, disgusting sister live happily ever after, you should distance yourself from that family."

Cheng Xizhou reclined on Bai Xi’s shoulder, feeling happy, "Dong Xi the old pervert has been imprisoned for tax evasion, Bai Xuan has become Jiang Family’s Young Madam, Jie Siyu now has to think twice before doing anything for Bai Xuan, so she probably doesn’t dare to mess with you anymore."

"Xixi, everything’s smooth from now on, the hard times are finally over for you." Cheng Xizhou, gently pinching Bai Xi’s slender fingers, said, "You’re not getting any younger, are you planning to get married?"

Then, the conversation shifted, and Cheng Xizhou asked about Bai Xi’s preferences for a partner, "Hey, what kind of guys do you like, tell me, I’ll use my connections to find you a handsome, rich, and obedient man to ensure a worry-free second half of your life."

Bai Xi shyly lowered her head.

She picked up a stone from the ground and drew circles in the sand with her toe, quietly declining Cheng Xizhou’s good intentions, "I don’t need a boyfriend, I already have someone I like."

Cheng Xizhou had talked about this with Bai Xi in the past, but Bai Xi always turned a deaf ear and never wanted to discuss the topic.

Since Bai Xi finally opened up about her romantic life, Cheng Xizhou had to seize the opportunity to ask more questions.

Cheng Xizhou eagerly asked Bai Xi, "Who is it? What does he do?"

Bai Xi said, "Someone I grew up with."

"Grew up with?" Cheng Xizhou was suddenly at a loss for words.

Bai Xi was raised by a crime organization, so who could she have grown up with?

Cheng Xizhou’s enthusiasm was doused with cold water, and she tightly gripped Bai Xi’s wrist, speaking seriously, "Xixi, we mustn’t fall for criminals. Listen to me, we’re not people who can’t live without love, if his background isn’t clean, stay away from him, don’t be silly, understand?"

Bai Xi showed a bitter smile and said, "Don’t worry, there’s no possibility between us."

Cheng Xizhou asked, "Why?"

Bai Xi said, "He’s already dead."

Cheng Xizhou was stunned.

"This..."

She truly didn’t know how to comfort Bai Xi.

But she was still very curious about what kind of person the boy Bai Xi liked was.
