Knowing that she had received a gift, An Siyao’s mood shifted from gloomy to bright.
She was eager to head to Beidajie immediately, but she had to attend Feng family’s party that evening.
“What is it?” the excited girl asked Xia Yu.
“Just a bracelet. Don’t expect too much,” Xia Yu replied.
“I will like it.” Although she hadn’t seen the bracelet yet, An Siyao still insisted.
At the same time, she reached an important conclusion in her mind:
“He” and herself were indeed from the same world and could interact with each other.
“Can I give you something too?” the girl asked again.
“No need.” Xia Yu shook his head and refused.
The ideal time for Xia Yu to reveal his identity to An Siyao was when they entered university. By then, both would be away from home, and An Tianfeng and Yu Liang wouldn’t be watching closely or investigating anything suspicious.
Staying in the bedroom until four in the afternoon, Xia Yu sat in front of the dressing mirror, untying An Siyao’s ponytail and braiding two small French braids on either side.
It was a pity he couldn’t dye her hair himself; if it were light brown, it would have a more punk vibe.
When she left the house, the maids were startled, and An Feixiong, who was playing in the yard, ran off in panic.
At the gate, the driver initially failed to recognize her.
Luckily, the driver’s heart had been well-trained. Without showing any emotion, he drove Xia Yu to the Feng family’s villa.
In the yard, high-powered spotlights were set up, ready to turn on as soon as night fell.
When Xia Yu arrived, the group in the yard was momentarily stunned. Upon realizing it was An Siyao, they excitedly approached, admiring her new look.
Zhong Yunxin was especially thrilled.
As soon as An Siyao entered, Zhong Yunxin noticed that her outfit looked somewhat familiar.
Why are you wearing my clothes?
Zhong Yunxin merely thought this to herself at first. However, the classmates surrounding An Siyao, taking photos and complimenting how cool she looked, made her feel unbearable.
I wore this exact outfit before, and you all secretly mocked my taste!
Zhong Yunxin felt wronged.
Especially those two who were now closest to An Siyao—they were the very people she had chased and beaten up before because they had criticized her fashion sense.
Now that it’s someone else, you’ve become sycophants?
Zhong Yunxin was deeply hurt. She profoundly felt the superficiality of human nature.
Then she took out her phone and snapped a photo of An Siyao.
Unlike those shallow people, she wasn’t taking the picture because of An Siyao’s face, but purely because of her outfit!
Especially those shiny leggings! The curves were just amazing!
At five o’clock, Feng Yujia briefly spoke a few opening words on the central stage in the yard before inviting Xia Yu to come up.
Xia Yu took the violin onto the stage and played “Flight of the Bumblebee.”
He didn’t pursue speed but focused on elegance, making it as stylish and cool as possible.
Amplified by the speakers, the passionate violin sound spread throughout the yard, bringing the students’ enthusiasm to a peak.
Even Zhong Yunxin couldn’t help but show admiration in her eyes at this moment.
What she was admiring was An Siyao’s current style.
Dressed in punk-style clothes, playing an intense piece on stage with confidence and flair, while the girls below looked on in admiration—it was exactly the scene she had dreamed of.
After finishing the piece, Xia Yu received a prompt that the mission was completed.
He chose to retrieve the body scanning opportunity.
The party continued until 11 p.m., when day students were picked up by their own drivers, while boarding students were taken back to school by the Feng family’s bus.
Some of those close to Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo wanted to stay overnight at the Feng villa, but upon seeing An Siyao leave, they gave up on the idea.
Once in the car, Xia Yu immediately left An Siyao’s body.
An Siyao said to the driver, “Go to Beidajie, Yue Jiuzhu Café.”
The driver, who had been feeling somewhat drowsy, suddenly became alert upon hearing this.
His instincts told him that something unusual was happening.
But he dared not ask.
Beidajie was a relatively remote area. The real estate development there hadn’t been completed yet, so there were few residents. However, the commercial street still had some popularity.
With many people around, it was unlikely that this was an attempt to silence him.
Reassured, he drove An Siyao at a steady pace to the entrance of the café, then stepped out of the car and opened the door for her in a proper and formal manner.
“Go inside and ask the counter for a lost red wallet. It contains 543 yuan and a barcode,” An Siyao, who greatly disliked unfamiliar places, didn’t want to go in herself, so she asked the driver to retrieve the wallet.
Trying to appear calm, the driver closed the car door and headed toward Yue Jiuzhu Café.
A sense of excitement rose in his heart.
He was certain this mission was out of the ordinary.
It was highly likely that he was witnessing the final stage of a covert operation.
The action team had hidden something in the café to avoid suspicion, and now the young lady had come to collect it.
But what exactly was it?
His mind returned to the young lady’s words.
Wallet, money, barcode.
Clearly, the barcode was the key. But there might also be something hidden in a hidden compartment inside the wallet.
Alternatively, the specific amount of money, 543 yuan, might be a code—indicating that everything went smoothly. If it were a different amount, it might signal a problem.
Another thought occurred to him:
Why didn’t the young lady come herself, but instead sent me?
There must be a deep reason—was it dangerous? Was she trying to avoid being seen?
As he pushed open the café door, he raised his collar to cover his chin. He regretted not bringing a hat.
Instead of going straight to the counter, the driver first walked to an empty table while observing the customers inside.
Five couples, two pairs of best friends, and a pair of male friends. Also, two elderly women with three grandchildren, chatting idly without ordering anything.
Nothing suspicious seemed to be present.
After circling around the empty table, the driver approached the counter.
Looking at the staff behind it, another question arose in his mind.
Was this staff member part of the young lady’s group? Was this café really just an ordinary café?
Good thing he hadn’t chosen this café when he last met Luo Yali.
He lowered his voice and said, “I’m here to pick up a lost wallet. Red, containing 543 yuan and a barcode.”
When the staff handed him the wallet in a completely ordinary manner, he felt momentarily confused—was it really this simple?
No, the reason it was simple must be because the young lady’s plan was flawless!
If it weren’t simple, that would be abnormal!
His admiration for An Siyao deepened even further. He returned to the car and respectfully handed the wallet over to An Siyao.
At the same time, he was also curious about what secrets the wallet contained.
“Let’s go, take me to the mall.” After retrieving the barcode from the wallet, An Siyao got out of the car.
Though she disliked going to unfamiliar places to meet strangers, she decided to go herself this time.
Following behind An Siyao, the driver’s mind raced with guesses.
When he saw An Siyao use the barcode to retrieve a bracelet from a locker and put it on her wrist joyfully, a lightning bolt struck his mind.
Leaning against the wall, the driver felt a surge of fear rising in his heart.
He understood.
