Chapter 660: 261 Sending Flowers, Can She Still Play After the Opening? (Second Update)_3
Xu Nanjing said she had left a car for her.
Speaking of drifting, Wen Zhixia’s expression worsened, “No more drifting, the old lady keeps a tight leash.”
Bai Lian searched her memory; there wasn’t much news about Wen Zhixia, mainly just the two of them drifting in Beicheng together, then drinking and bitching about Song Min.
That was all.
“You do look quite the part when you’re serious,” Wen Zhixia said, watching Bai Lian dressed in classic attire, sitting quietly in the booth with a languid expression while two good-looking young men didn’t dare to approach her.
With a wine glass in hand, there was this disconcerting sense of a traditionally-educated miss turned up at a night club.
...
Wen Zhixia pulled a cigarette from the table, held it in her hand, and a boy immediately lit it for her; she slowly blew out a smoke ring, “Damn, it’s perfect. My grandmother’s kind will definitely prefer someone like you. Acting the part at home is freaking exhausting.”
Bai Lian knew Wen Zhixia kept up the facade of a lady at home.
She leaned back slowly, listening intently to Wen Zhixia.
Sure enough, midway through the drinking, Wen Zhixia dropped a bombshell, “I’m getting engaged.”
As for who the other party was, Wen Zhixia didn’t say, but it was just a business marriage.
At eight o’clock, Jiang Fulai sent a message, asking where she was.
Bai Lian looked at the drunk Wen Zhixia and sent him the address.
She took Wen Zhixia outside.
The bar manager recognized Bai Lian, and was about to ask if she needed assistance when he caught a glimpse of Bai Lian’s cold eyes. He didn’t dare to speak and silently followed behind her.
Outside the bar.
A gust of wind blew, and Wen Zhixia seemed a bit more sober. She tilted her head to look at Bai Lian and suddenly asked, “I noticed from the first glance. Are you an alter ego?”
Bai Lian was startled.
Wen Zhixia’s eyes were blurry, and she felt like vomiting, “Can she come back? Is she still inside your body? Is she… alright?”
Ji Mulan, Bai Qiming, and even Ji Heng hadn’t noticed that she was no longer the her from before.
Sometimes Bai Lian even thought that, aside from her, it seemed no one remembered who the previous Miss Bai was.
Wen Zhixia’s ringing cell phone in her pocket startled Bai Lian awake.
The one calling Wen Zhixia was a contact saved as “butler.”
Bai Lian sent him their current address.
The Wen Family was likely in Yunxiao District; they would arrive faster than Jiang Fulai, and the Wen butler soon came to pick up Wen Zhixia.
“Thank you,” the butler had someone help Wen Zhixia into the car, looking surprised at Bai Lian’s gentle attire; he probably didn’t expect Wen Zhixia to have such a friend.
Bai Lian stood there, watching the Wen Family’s car drive away, her eyes slightly narrowed. She turned to the bar manager at an unhurried pace and said, “Tell Xiaoqi to check out the Wen Family.”
Wen Zhixia, the only friend of the original host in this world.

September 30th.
Jiang University had one more day of classes; the holiday would officially start on the first of October.
Bai Lian returned to the dorm after her morning run. The other three roommates were already awake, with Kong Wei browsing a forum in bed and greeting her roommate, “Morning.”
While speaking, her eyes were fixed on her phone’s screen.
On the forum, Bai Lian’s speech from the previous week had been circulating for a week now.
In the past two days, there had been discussions about the welcome parties at the two major academic institutions, and Bai Lian’s opening act had been promoted—
[I heard Bai Lian is opening, and I’ve already changed my ticket!]
[There’s also a famous zither player who’s really good. I’m quite looking forward to the joint event between the physical sciences and finance departments this year]

[To be precise, mainly the Finance College]
[I know, the twin stars of the Finance College, that zither play was learnt from Jiangyin’s professor, everything Jiangyin produces is top-notch]
[…]
Today, the two institutions are hosting welcome parties. Kong Wei didn’t stay in bed for long, as she had to go help out at the student union after breakfast. Yu Simin had an early eight o’clock class and didn’t have time to go to the union.
After showering, Bai Lian went to the cafeteria to eat, and Kong Wei went with her.
In the school, Tang Ming, Yang Lin, and Ning Xiao and others all used Bai Lian’s meal card.
After grabbing her meal, Kong Wei sat next to Yang Lin, “She hasn’t had her rehearsal till today, I’m a bit worried.”
Across from her, Tang Ming took a bite of his fried egg pancake and asked, “What are you worried about her for?” He continued nonchalantly, “Sister Lu’s shooting skills were taught by her. What you should worry about is, with her opening the event, how will anyone follow that act?”
