Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Are You Actually Dating Teacher Qiao
"Brother is really a gentle person."
"Brother, you’re even willing to stay and listen to us talk, no wonder you’re the one we’ve all been chasing!"
A reporter caught a whiff of gossip, "Teacher Zhou, are you and Teacher Qiao actually dating?"
Zhou Junqi still smiled gently, but he didn’t answer.
Anyway, he neither confirmed nor denied it, letting them guess as they pleased.
What did other people’s thoughts have to do with him?
"Teacher Zhou, is this true? Please give us an answer," the persistent reporter pressed on.
Zhou Junqi offered an apologetic smile, his expression of wanting to say something but then stopping was tantalizing, and his smile even more thought-provoking.
Well, I just won’t say it; keep guessing.
To the fans watching this scene, it seemed to verify the rumor.
Why did Brother have to date?
Brother was theirs!
Even if Qiao Xi was the Goddess of Divine Beauty, they didn’t want their Brother to date, they wouldn’t accept it!!!
"Alright!" Brother Wang bellowed just in time: "Everyone, step aside, Junqi has more work arrangements next!"
Bodyguards cleared the way on both sides, escorting Zhou Junqi and Brother Wang out.
However, the news of Zhou Junqi dating had caused great agitation among the fans.
Seeing him about to leave, the fans surged forward, those watching from above rushed down frantically in their haste to get closer.
The crowd pressed against each other, a sea of heads as far as the eye could see, almost like a horde of zombies descending upon the town.
"Bang!"
A loud noise – the whole mall seemed quiet for a second, then an even more agitated sound erupted.
Because the people upstairs saw someone fall from the second floor.
"Someone fell down!"
"Ah, blood!"
"There’s a dead person—"
Zhou Junqi exchanged a glance with Brother Wang, his pupils shook deeply, and unconsciously they quickened their pace.
Elsewhere, Qiao Xi had just dodged the fans.
"Sister Li, Tutu will take me to the airport later, so you don’t have to. Go ahead with your work."
"Okay, then watch out for paparazzi."
Qiao Xi put on her mask and hat before parting ways with Wang Li.
To make it convenient for Qiao Xi, Su Tutu had arranged to have lunch at a restaurant not far from the mall.
She and Sheng Chao had already arrived.
As soon as Qiao Xi walked into the restaurant, she saw Su Tutu waving at her: "Sis, over here!"
Shen Dang sat across from the couple on the sofa, his languid demeanor impossible to ignore.
Outside the window was the bustling traffic, yet he sat there unaffected, creating a world of his own, calm and elegant, drawing a sidelong glance.
Qiao Xi paused slightly in her step.
Goodness, her frenemy had arranged for Shen Dang to come again!
Qiao Xi walked up to the table and sat down next to Shen Dang.
"Are you tired from the event? Have some tea to moisten your throat," Su Tutu poured a cup of tea for Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi lifted the teacup to take a sip, slightly tilting her head, her lips curled in a faint smile, "Boss Shen is here too."
Su Tutu immediately said, "Brother Chao invited him, it’s not my fault!"
Qiao Xi smiled, that smile deep and meaningful, "Did I say something? You’ve just outed yourself."
Su Tutu: "..."
Miscalculation!
Sheng Chao naturally defended his wife: "Tutu is right, I invited Ah Dang, it has nothing to do with her."
Qiao Xi hummed softly.
As if she didn’t know this couple were as thick as thieves.
Shen Dang, propping up his chin lazily, had a faint, indolent smile in his dark eyes: "What, by the sound of it, you don’t want to see me?"
Qiao Xi responded with a false smile: "No, you’re overthinking it."
Even if she didn’t want to, could she admit it openly?
Shen Dang responded, looking into her cool eyes: "It’s good then."
Then both of them averted their eyes simultaneously.
Su Tutu: "..."
Damn this tacit understanding!
Su Tutu pushed the menu to Qiao Xi: "It’s Brother Chao’s treat today, you two order."
After ordering, Su Tutu smiled and said to Shen Dang, "Boss Shen, are you free later?"
Shen Dang raised an eyebrow lazily, counterasking, "What’s up?"
"Brother Chao and I have something to do later, and I was supposed to drive Xixi to the airport. We’ll have to trouble President Shen."
Qiao Xi glared at Su Tutu secretly: "I can just take a cab there myself, no need to trouble anyone."
"It just so happens I’m free," Shen Dang leaned back on the sofa, his long legs casually crossed under the table, his tone indifferent.
Having accomplished what she set out to do even before the dishes arrived, Su Tutu leisurely scrolled through her phone, and with that scroll, she hit the jackpot.
"Xixi, something’s happened."
Qiao Xi furrowed her brows: "What’s going on?"
"Just now, someone died at the mall where you were attending an event!"
The news spread quickly.
With the advent of the internet, many people had posted videos online right as things were happening.
Because the incident was so severe, it immediately shot up to the top trends.
The news had just broken, and not many people knew yet.
Sheng Chao glanced up at Shen Dang: "Ah Dang, the mall where Xixi was at, belongs to the Shen Group."
Shen Dang was currently managing IDC Capital, while Shen’s properties were still under the care of Shen Hongxuan.
"How could such a thing happen?" Su Tutu was chilled to the bone: "What kind of mess is this? Brother Chao, go find out what’s happening. What if it gets connected to our Xixi?"
Sheng Chao didn’t hesitate: "I’ll make a call."
Shen Dang also made a call to inquire.
Qiao Xi logged into her Weibo and clicked on the trending search.
The video was not blurred, and one could see a pool of blood on the ground.
This bloody scene startled Qiao Xi, and she quickly exited the video, closing her eyes to steady her mind.
Shen Dang turned his head to look at her: "What’s up?"
They were close, and Qiao Xi’s big reaction drew Shen Dang’s attention immediately, his eyes narrowing sharply.
Qiao Xi placed her phone back on the table: "It’s nothing."
Her heart still pounding wildly, Qiao Xi’s face paled.
Something buried deep in her memory surged uncontrollably. Her palms grew cold, her fingers trembling minutely.
Completely out of control.
Shen Dang hung up the call, grabbed Qiao Xi’s hand, his gaze fixed on her face: "What’s the matter?"
His palm pressed on the back of her hand.
Close enough for their arms to touch, it seemed that she could even feel his warm breath.
It was warm, alive.
As if it dissipated the chill in her heart.
That discomfort, too, followed swiftly, and the hand he covered involuntarily curled a little.
Qiao Xi quickly regained her composure, offering a charming smile: "Really, it’s nothing."
Shen Dang seemed to be showing too much concern for her, it might have been Qiao Xi’s misperception, but at that moment she had neither the heart nor the mind to think about anything else.
Qiao Xi just felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Shen Dang’s brow furrowed, his heart far from pleased.
Why insist on being so strong-armed at a time like this? Was it so hard to show weakness once in a while?
Shen Dang let out a cold laugh: "Look at your face, as white as a ghost."
Qiao Xi, still shaken, reflexively retorted: "You’re the one who looks like a ghost."
