After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 945 - 931: Points of Suspicion

With a helpless shrug, Hao Xisheng said, "I’m just a bit lazy, and they are too timid. Is that my fault?"

As he spoke, Hao Xisheng looked at Bi Xia with sparkling eyes, "Thanks to that, I got to meet you, didn’t I?"

Bi Xia: ...

"If this wasn’t your master’s shop, you really wouldn’t have met me."

Facing Bi Xia’s straightforward words, Hao Xisheng paused, then waved his hand, "No worries, it’s fate!"

Meng Chi chuckled, this guy has quite a big heart.

"Speaking of which, how did you know Katrina wasn’t your master’s granddaughter?" Meng Chi remembered the previous question and asked curiously.

Hao Xisheng’s previously cheerful face suddenly turned serious. He silently turned to look at Bi Xia, "Even though you’re my idol, I still want to know how you figured it out."

Bi Xia curled his lips, his starry eyes suddenly glanced somewhere, then shrugged at Hao Xisheng, "It’s very simple."

"This person called Katrina, it’s not the first time I’ve met her."

"What?!"

"What?!"

Two voices of surprise rang out, looking at the shocked faces of the two, Bi Xia reluctantly rolled his eyes and slapped Meng Chi on the head, "It’s understandable for Hao Xisheng to be surprised, but why are you so surprised too? Weren’t you with me when we first saw her? Are you stupid?"

Meng Chi blinked, "... Seems like... I was."

Bi Xia: ...

"I’ve suddenly realized," looking at Meng Chi very seriously, Bi Xia said, "you seem to have become stupid."

Meng Chi: "... Oh! Right, today wasn’t the first time we met her. I just thought her appearance was strange, turns out she had ulterior motives all along!"

Bi Xia: ...

Hao Xisheng: ...

Tsk, once a drama queen, no one can stop him.

"When Katrina fell in front of me, I was wondering who she was. I thought about it and concluded she might be a fan of mine, so I didn’t pay much attention at first. I just thought this girl had an impressive observation skill, recognizing me just by a back view—she must really like me."

Listening to Bi Xia’s words, Meng Chi fell silent, boss, thank goodness Katrina isn’t your fan. Otherwise, treating her like this, openly saying you like men, you’d lose followers and probably turn them into haters! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Besides... Why does this sound so narcissistic?

Obviously, someone else disagreed. Angrily interrupting Bi Xia, Hao Xisheng said, "Idol, idol! I recognized you at first glance! I am your true die-hard fan!!!"

Bi Xia: "You probably recognized me when I said I was Bi Xia, right?"

Hao Xisheng: Life is hard, don’t spoil it, idol!!!

Casually taking off his sunglasses, sitting on a chair, Bi Xia started closely examining the interior of the shop.

If looked at from the inside, it doesn’t resemble a haunted house at all; on the contrary, the shelves filled with ancient artifacts seem to emanate a sealed, time-encompassed aura, soaking in the silence of historical years.

His starry eyes brightening, Bi Xia took a deep look at those artifacts. After a while, he heard Hao Xisheng’s voice and reluctantly shifted his gaze towards him, not answering Hao Xisheng’s question, instead asking, "Are all these trinkets found by Mr. Yao?"

Hao Xisheng looked at where Bi Xia glanced earlier, gave an "oh," and casually said, "No, I collected them before. They’re all genuine items, but unfortunately, the sellers lacked insight. I didn’t want them to go unnoticed, so I brought them back."

Bi Xia nodded and then said, "When I first saw Katrina, I mistook her for a fan, but when she appeared a second time, I knew it couldn’t be that simple."

"It’s like when someone deceives you once, you become more vigilant, it’s the same principle."

"When a girl gets scared by an automatically opening door for the first time, it’s normal to scream, but her behavior afterward was unexpected."

Meng Chi pondered, slapping his hand, "She ran inside to prank instead of running outside."
